By Prof. Michael Dopita on December 14, 2004
This is a simple tale of the sea, painted with an clean economy of style and humourous observation of the characters. Although ostensibly about an encounter of the steamer Nan-Shan with a typhoon in the South China Seas, it is really about the commander, Captain McWhirr, who, "..having just enough imagination to carry him through each successive day, and no more,.. was tranquilly sure of himself". Indeed the very characteristic of his lack of imagination gives him the ability to deal calmly and phlegmatically with the crisis and to bring the vessel through.
As Conrad puts it: "Captain MacWhirr had sailed over the surface of the oceans as some men go skimming over the years of existence to sink gently into a placid grave, ignorant of life to the last, without ever having been made to see all it may contain of perfidy, of violence, and of terror. There are on sea and land such men thus fortunate -- or thus disdained by destiny or by the sea" and, "had he been informed by an indisputable authority that the end of the world was to be finally accomplished by a catastrophic disturbance of the atmosphere, he would have assimilated the information under the simple idea of dirty weather, and no other, because he had no experience of cataclysms, and belief does not necessarily imply comprehension."
The enonomy of Conrad's descriptive style paints images of weather which most of us will have never experienced. For example, the approach of the storm is described thus: "The Nan-Shan was ploughing a vanishing furrow upon the circle of the sea that had the surface and the shimmer of an undulating piece of gray silk. The sun, pale and without rays, poured down leaden heat in a strangely indecisive light, and the Chinamen were lying prostrate about the decks".."At its setting the sun had a diminished diameter and an expiring brown, rayless glow, as if millions of centuries elapsing since the morning had brought it near its end. A dense bank of cloud became visible to the northward; it had a sinister dark olive tint, and lay low and motionless upon the sea, resembling a solid obstacle in the path of the ship. She went floundering towards it like an exhausted creature driven to its death. "
The interactions of the Captain and his officers and his stilted correspondence with his distant, bougeois and uncomprehending wife is described with elegant humour and sharp observation of human nature.
A "ripping yarn" much to be recommended.

WASHINGTON — The Arctic was cooling for 1,900 years because of a natural change in Earth's orbit until greenhouse gas accumulation from the use of fossil fuels reversed the trend in recent decades, according to a study published Friday in Science magazine.
Scientists reconstructed the temperature record of the past 2,000 years using evidence from tree rings, ice cores and lake sediment, and found a steady cooling trend in Arctic summer temperatures of about 0.5 degrees Celsius — 0.9 degrees Fahrenheit — during the first 1,900 years. The cooling was caused by a slow natural cycle in Earth orbit that continues in this century.
"The summer cooling would likely be continuing today were it not for the increase of greenhouse gases from fossil fuel burning," said David Schneider, a scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research and one of the authors of the study. "The results are important in showing that the dramatic changes happening today — and particularly the rapidity of the changes — are not natural."
Darrell Kaufman, a professor of geology and environmental science at Northern Arizona State University and the lead author of the study, put it this way: "The warmth in the Arctic during the second half of the 20th century, combined with the last decade, is striking against the backdrop of the previous 1,900 years. ... The second half of the 20th century was warmer in the Arctic than any other half-century of the last 2,000 years."
Further, 1999 to 2008 was the warmest decade in the Arctic of any in that period, the report in Science said. Temperatures were about 1.4 degrees Celsius — 2.5 degrees Fahrenheit — higher than would have been expected if the natural cooling trend had continued.
Scientists already knew that the Arctic is warming two to three times faster than the rest of the planet is.
The new study gives a better understanding of how the climate system behaves over longer time scales, Schneider said. Previous studies with that level of detail went back only 400 years, and most of the record from thermometers in the Arctic dates back only about 50 years.
"We have a lot more data than we had before, and better climate models for understanding that data," Schneider said.
One of the most important findings from the study was that its findings matched the output of the National Center for Atmospheric Research's climate-system computer model, Kaufman said.
"The climate model used in this study is among those that have been used to predict future climate. The match between our proxy temperature record and the climate-model output adds to our confidence in the model's ability to accurately simulate temperature responses to factors that influence climate change," he said. "This is especially important for the Arctic, where the influence of global warming is amplified."

Two men arrested after shooting from car in Newport
Two men have been arrested following a shooting near a pub in Newport.
Pellets were shot from one car causing another vehicle to crash near the Cross Hands pub on Chepstow Road at about 23:30 BST on Tuesday.
One man suffered a head injury as a result of the pellets being fired, while another man had minor injuries from the crash.
Both were in the car that crashed along with a woman who hurt her back.
Gwent Police said none of the injuries were life-threatening and all three were taken to hospital but have since been released.
The two men were then arrested and are in custody.
Officers are carrying out enquiries to locate the other vehicle and its occupants reported to be involved.
Somerton Road, which is off Chepstow Road, remains closed.
Ch Insp Huw Nicholas from Gwent Police said: "We would like to reassure residents of Newport that we don't believe this was a random incident and that the occupants of the vehicles were known to each other.
"We have put a team of officers together including detectives, neighbourhood officers and forensic specialists to work on the investigation."
The force appealed for anyone who was in the area at the time of the incident and has any information to call 101.

Convenience Store Robber Arrested (Press Release)
ABILENE, TX – At about 2 am Thursday morning October 4, 2012, the Abilene Police Department's (APD) Patrol Division responded to a robbery call at a business in the 1000 block of East Highway 80. The store clerk advised APD Dispatch that the store had been robbed by a white male suspect that he further described. The victim also provided the description of a getaway vehicle, a license plate number, and the suspect vehicle's last known direction of travel.
Officers converged to the scene and began their preliminary investigation. The suspect vehicle was not immediately located. The investigation revealed that the suspect entered the store and went straight for the cash register. The investigation further revealed that the store clerk heard the suspect tell him he had a gun. During the course of the robbery, the suspect and clerk got into a physical struggle outside the store. The clerk sustained minor injuries to his hands and face and the suspect fled the scene. An unknown quantity of cash was taken during this crime.
At about 3:50 am, an observant officer located the probable suspect vehicle in an apartment complex in the 500 block of N. Judge Ely Boulevard. Several officers assisted and they contacted a white male inside the vehicle that matched the robber's description. The suspect was detained and taken back to the scene of the robbery and was positively identified by the store clerk as the man that entered and robbed the store. The robbery suspect was identified as Aaron G. Rimes (DOB: 8/2/93) of Abilene. The suspect was questioned in the field. The preliminary facts in this investigation revealed that Mr. Rimes was the only suspect involved in the robbery.
As of this release, Mr. Rimes posted bail today on a surety bond of $10,000.00. This investigation is ongoing and APD will not be able to release any further information at this time.

DLR webcast: Space law and its application to the ROSAT mission
In this DLR webcast, Bernhard Schmidt-Tedd explains the legal aspects of the ROSAT mission. Space law relates to the non-territorial area of outer space, a region not governed by any national legislation, but instead governed by the United Nations Treaties and Principles on Outer Space. In any specific space mission – and this also applies to ROSAT – the countries involved in the mission agree upon who is responsible for registration of the mission and therefore (liability-related) legally responsible for that mission.
Bernhard Schmidt-Tedd is Head of Legal and Business Support of the DLR Space Administration office in Bonn and is primarily responsible for matters regarding space law.

Arsenal's forward line has been struck another blow with confirmation that Theo Walcott will undergo a minor abdominal procedure that rules him out until after the international break.
The 24-year-old was withdrawn from Sunday's win over Stoke City with an abdominal problem that manager Arsene Wenger later admitted had mystified the Gunners' medical staff.
But after further examination it has been decided that the England forward will undergo minor abdominal surgery in order to rectify the issue, ruling him out of crucial World Cup qualifiers against Montenegro and Poland.
"Theo will be out for a few weeks," Wenger told the club's official website. "He has developed some damage to his posterior abdominal wall. It's not a hernia, but it's a little structural problem in his abdomen.
"He will have the procedure in Germany on Wednesday and, because it's so minor, we can begin his rehab immediately. We are pleased it's being dealt with quickly and he shouldn't miss too many Arsenal matches. But he will miss the forthcoming international matches with England."
Walcott's absence immediately rules him out of Arsenal's crucial Champions League clash at home to Napoli, in addition to Premier League trips away to Swansea and West Brom.
A possible return date is 19 October for a home game against Norwich City, but more pressingly the Gunners will hope to have the former Southampton starlet back for their trip to Champions League runners up Borussia Dortmund on 22 October.
The procedure shortens Wenger's forward options with Lukas Podolski already an absentee. The Germany international suffered a hamstring injury in Champions League qualifier against Fenerbache with an initial prognosis suggesting the Germany international would be ruled out for ten weeks.
However, after undergoing further tests with the German national team Podolski announced he feared his time on the side lines could stretch as far as three months. His teammate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is also unavailable for a similar period after injuring himself just a week into the new season.
Although the club's limited forward options have been supplemented by the added goal threat of Aaron Ramsey this season and the consistency of Olivier Giroud, Wenger may still be concerned with the lack of options in his squad.
18-year-old Serge Gnarby was drafted in to replace Walcott for Sunday's win over Stoke but with the club's only other forward options at present in Nicklas Bendtner and the untested Yaya Sanogo, the Gunners boss will be desperate to have his full range of options available as soon as possible.

"Metastability of the Ising model on random graphs at zero temperature"
In this talk I will introduce a random graph model known as the configuration model. After this, I will discuss the Ising model, which is a model from statistical physics where a spin is assigned to each vertex in a graph and these spins tend to align, i.e., take the same value as their neighbors. It is especially interesting to study the Ising model on random graphs. I will discuss some properties of this model. In particular, I will talk about the dynamics and metastability in this model when the interaction strength goes to infinity. This corresponds to the zero temperature limit in physical terms.

(FERGUSON, Mo.) — Peaceful protests and community activism replaced violent clashes in the streets of Ferguson, Missouri, overnight, with only six arrests reported, police said.
Unrest has ruled in the St. Louis suburb since the Aug. 9 police shooting death of unarmed teen Michael Brown.
Missouri Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson, speaking at an early-morning news conference, said Wednesday night's protesters remained mostly orderly, showing a marked improvement over the previous night, when 47 people were arrested.
"Tonight was a very good night," Johnson said.
Johnson said a few minor incidents were reported, such as an officer hit by a water bottle — but the officer wasn't injured.
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon visited Ferguson Wednesday, as did Attorney General Eric Holder.
A decision on whether the officer who shot Brown, Darren Wilson, would be indicted will not come quickly, St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert McCulloch said Wednesday. McCullough predicted that it could take until the middle of October for the grand jury to decide whether to charge Wilson.
Grand juries typically meet one day a week.
McCulloch said the grand jury investigation will be thorough.
"They will have absolutely everything there is, every piece of paper, every photograph, every bit of physical evidence, all of the forensic information," the district attorney said.

Australian cricket fans have been left in the dark after no broadcaster acquired the rights to show international cricket from England.
Fox Sports, which had televised all internationals and selected domestic cricket from England since 2002, either live or in highlights form, has not recommitted to broadcasting matches this season. The England and Wales Cricket Board confirmed to Fairfax Media over the weekend that no deal has been reached with an Australian broadcaster to cover matches during the 2014 English summer, meaning that those wanting to watch Sri Lanka's tour of England which began last month, or the subsequent England-India series, are unable to do so legally.
Hoards of disgruntled cricket enthusiasts have taken to Twitter and internet forums seeking an explanation with many threatening to cancel their Foxtel subscriptions as a result of the blackout.
A Fox Sports spokesperson told Fairfax Media that the network does not currently have any international cricket tours on its broadcasting calendar until December. This period includes Australian tours to Zimbabwe and the United Arab Emirates (to play Pakistan). Away internationals played by the national team have been a staple of Foxtel's schedule since the pay-TV operator was launched in 1995.
Cricket Australia, which is not involved in the tendering process for matches played outside Australia, was unaware of any deal yet reached to screen the July and October tours on Australian TV, although CA remained confident that deals would be reached by the respective host boards. Rights deals for international cricket tours are initiated by the host nation.
Only the limited away internationals on the anti-siphoning list - specifically Tests and ODIs played by Australia in England along with Australia's World Cup matches - have been shown consistently on free-to-air television in that period, with both pay and free-to-air providers showing each Ashes series since 2001. However when the ECB sold the rights to show the 2015 and 2019 Ashes series late last year, the Nine Network was granted exclusivity, meaning that the 2015 tour will be the first Australian away tour not screened by Foxtel in 14 years.
The absence of cricket from England on Foxtel continues a recent trend by the network to move away from the summer sport. From 2006 to 2013 Fox Sports was the exclusive broadcaster of domestic cricket, showing the majority of matches from the state one-day and Twenty20 competitions, as well as the Sheffield Shield final. However after losing the lucrative Big Bash League rights to Channel Ten midway through last year, Foxtel declined to bid for any further domestic cricket. The BBL proved to be a rare recent winner for Ten, capturing a national average audience of 638,000 per game across the 2013-2014 season.
The just concluded Indian Premier League has also been absent from Australian TV screens, with no local provider picking up the rights over any of the past four seasons. The tournament has however been available to watch legally on YouTube.

As of the last census in 2016, there were 116,427 people counted as homeless in Australia. Of these, 27,683 (24%) are aged between 12-24 years.
Youth homelessness is not about young people that simply don't want to live at home. Two of the main causes of homelessness among young people aged between 12-24 years are family and domestic violence (abuse), and relationship or family breakdown.
According to Youth Homelessness Matters Day, the main reasons young people become homeless include:
- Interpersonal relationship problems including family violence and parent/adolescent conflict (45%);
- Accommodation issues such as being evicted or unable to find suitable accommodation (18%); and
- Financial reasons such as unable to pay rent or other financial difficulty (14%).
While children under the age of 12 years are more likely to be homeless in the company of a parent, young people aged 12-24 years are more likely to be homeless on their own.
Many people picture homelessness to be someone sleeping on the streets however, 'couch surfing' is the most common living arrangement for young people experiencing homelessness. Couch surfing refers to staying temporarily with friends/family, usually on a couch, and often results in young people repeatedly 'bouncing' from place to place to avoid overstaying their welcome. This type of transient and unstable accommodation makes attending school or holding down a job almost impossible.
"The absence of safe and secure accommodation, compounded in many cases by poor health, difficult financial circumstances and social isolation, has direct adverse effects on young people's health and wellbeing".
– The Cost of Youth Homelessness
Young people experiencing homelessness are also more likely to experience physical and mental health issues, and become increasingly more disconnected from their community the longer they remain homeless.
Without appropriate support a young person who is experiencing homelessness is likely to experience a lifetime of disadvantage, including a high propensity to be homeless in adulthood.
No one chooses this for themselves.

CANYON, Texas—The West Texas A&M University theatre production of Luna Gale has advanced to the Region VI Festival of the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (KCACTF). The production is one of seven selected from a field of 70 by the Region's Committee to advance to the regional competition in March at Angelo State University.
This marks the sixth WTAMU theatre production to be selected for performance at KCACTF. Previous productions were selected in 1997, 2005, 2009, 2013 and 2017. After the performance at the Region VI festival in March, the production will be considered for KCACTF National Awards in Washington, D.C.
KACACTF is a national theater program involving 18,000 students from colleges and universities nationwide and has served as a catalyst for improving the quality of college-theater in the United States. The KCACTF has grown into a network of more than 600 academic institutions across the country, where theater departments and student artists showcase their work and receive outside assessment by KCACTF respondents. KCACTF Region VI consists of six states: Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.
Luna Gale is directed by Callie Hisek, assistant professor of theatre. It is a contemporary drama written by Rebecca Gillman about the child welfare system and one social worker's determination to protect a child. The production was staged at WTAMU in September at the Happy State Bank Studio Theatre as a KCACTF participating production. Other faculty members involved with the production include costume designer Anne Medlock-Ely, lighting designer Tana Fleming Roberson and technical director John Landon. Student members of the production team include Bella Barnett, scene designer; Kaelee Eichorst, hair and makeup designer; Sarah Garcia, sound designer; L'Hannah Pedigo, properties master; Michael Hoy, assistant director; and Kennedy Ansley, stage manager.
"I am beyond proud of the work that the students and faculty have done with this production. I don't know if I truly have the words to express my gratitude for the seven actors who put themselves out there every time they perform," Hisek said. "This show impacts them emotionally, physically, and mentally and the amount of work that I have witnessed coming from all of them has inspired me.
"They, along with the entire team, are thrilled to be going back into this world to tell Luna's story again for a new audience. We all felt a great loss on our last night in September and to know that we can once again tell Luna's storyis amazing. This entire production, with the support and guidance of CASA, has changed all of our lives. The actors put their heart and soul into every action and line, the design team has put every ounce of themselves out there as well to create and establish a world so real that the audience forgets they are in a theatre. When I started this process I never imagined that it, along with those that I work with, would change as many lives as it has. We are looking forward to the journey to KCACTF in hopes that we can awaken others to Luna and those that surround her."
In addition to their involvement with three regional performances of Luna Gale, WTAMU theatre students will compete in design and technical events, the Irene Ryan Acting competition, the Musical Theatre Initiative, as well as dramaturgy and directing events.
Students nominated to compete in the Irene Ryan Acting Competition include Marlee Wall, Mykelti Rhodes, Macy Watts, Madison Todd, Anna Holmes, Angel Garcia and Sean Evan Jones.
Musical Theatre Initiative competitors include Maddie Todd, Laurel Smalley, Anna Holmes, Macy Watts, Sean Jones, Zach Perrin, Madeleine Hale, Kenzi Redwine and Micaela Grenier. Technical and design entrees include Bella Barnett, Sarah Garcia, Mary Wadlington, Emilee Rottman, Kayla Specht, Tyler Garrison, Adam Whisman, Kelsey Landry, Kaelee Eichorst, Justin Tinnin and Kennedy Ansley.

Your Name. Tickets go on sale!
Holy sweet Jesus. This movie has been out since August. I have literally no clue what this movie is about. I haven't read or heard a single word about this film, other than the fact that it gives anything Ghibli has done a run for its money. Tickets are finally, FINALLY, on sale. I'm going to see it Subbed in defiance of having to wait eight months.
For the sake of all that is good, reserve your tickets. From what I can see, it's only here a week.
Toonami Sheds its One Piece
Adult Swim's Toonami announced over the weekend that after nearly four years, it will take One Piece

You can catch One Piece one last time on Cartoon Network at 2:30 am EST this Sunday, March 19. You can also catch the premiere of Tokyo Ghoul on Cartoon Network at 2:30 am EST on Sunday, March 26.
(Just for clarification. 11:59 PM is the last minute of Saturday. Midnight is the fist minute of Sunday. I know I shouldn't care this much. Just stay up very late on Saturday.)
Hold on. I need to breathe.…
Godzilla has been a part of my life since my family had its very first Movie Store Card. My brother and I watched Godzilla movies ad nauseum growing up. We saw both Godzilla (2015) and Shin Godzilla on opening day. We watched Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla on VHS two weeks ago.
This is Godzilla's first official animated film, but unofficially it's second. The first being Godzilla meets Bambi, of course.

my grandpa read me this book every night before bed when i was at there house. and i tried to make a book by writing the words and drawing kittens on stapled pieces of paper! we still have it. never knew how old it was! i will hang on to it forever! i actually named my cat agamemnon. im 13 now.
>> They had dorky names like Buzz, Fuzz, Suzz, and Agamemnon. Gotta be the same photographer.
Yer memory is good, and so is yer eye. That's "Four Little Kittens" (1935). I have a modern reprint of that one, as well as "Four Little Bunnies" (also 1935 — Fluff, Puff, Muff, and Algernon) and "Four Little Puppies" (1936 — Wags, Tags, Rags, and Obadiah).
Wow. That lolcats website has been around longer than I thought.
These pictures look an awful lot like ones in a reproduction storybook my grandmother gave my son when he was quite young. I forget the name of the story but it was about a family of kittens who went to the fair. They had dorky names like Buzz, Fuzz, Suzz, and Agamemnon. Gotta be the same photographer.
More on the strangely unsettling photos of Harry Frees here and especially here. He often used his own cats, Rags and Fluff, with costumes sewn by his mother. Kind of a proto-William Wegman.
That was hilarious.
"When asked why he would take such a picture, Frees responded 'Perhaps one day, far in the future, there will be some sort of interconnected system of mechano-adding machines--a net-work, if you will--through which people will be able to transmit information 'twixt one another. Were this to happen, I for one would bet tuppence that there will be a great clamor of demand for pictures of kittens in funny outfits."

Today I am celebrating my 4th year married to my best friend. It feels like I've known my husband forever. I met him in 1999, I think he was cute then and still think he is….. really an eye candy.
What makes a happy marriage?
The answer is simple, stop looking for a fairy tale and just be you from day one. Nothing about my marriage was conventional.
- My husband proposed to me with one ring, than decided to give me another one. (funny, yes he actually asked me to give the other ring back to give me later another one….)
- We picked my wedding dress together (talking about not seeing the bride in her dress before the wedding).
- Our wedding costs us $600. (really that's all we spent).
- I decided not to have a wedding cake…… (Really $3000 for a cake that I am going to eat and probably will not like…)
- We had our honeymoon before the wedding because it was a super great deal…. On our way back home we decided to gamble the last $100 we had left and ended up winning big time…. (we won all the money we spent for our honeymoon…… talking about luck!)
The most important thing is that I am a very happy wife and the secret is, there is no secret. So many people spend months planning a wedding but not the marriage. They spend so much time deciding on table arrangements, flowers and dresses but not so much time on building a true friendship with the person they are going to spend the rest of their lives with. I believe that your spouse should be your best friend before being the love of your life. Think about it for a second, how are you with your best friend? You tell them everything every embarrassing things. You ask them for advice about the weirdest things, you trust that they have your best interest at heart and most importantly you talk to them with respect. I find it heart breaking when a person uses the F*** word talking to their spouse. Even your boss whom you can't stand sometimes you don't speak to them ever using the F*** word, otherwise you would get fired right? Your co-workers sometimes get more respect then your spouse, the person who is there for you good or bad, the person who helps you make your dreams come true. You get the picture, right?
If your spouse is your best friend, I believe you will have a happy marriage. One more thing, secrets are just too heavy to carry around and the truth is much easier to remember.
I guess what I am trying to say is to create your own story and enjoy the ride. Your spouse is your partner, and being married to this person should propel you to be better than you were as a single person. Being married should no limit you either. When I decided to get into fitness competition, my husband was all for it because this was something that I wanted to do for me. He is my biggest fan and really involved in everything that I do. He even helped put rhinestones on a suit. When I am doing a photoshoot, he picks the outfits for me because strangely every outfit I don't like ends up looking great in pictures, even the colors. Simply we are a team and we keep it simple. Lady's remember stop putting unrealistic expectations on your man. If he doesn't get you a big diamond ring, it's not the end of the world. It is not about the ring or how much you spend on THE DAY, be a ride or die partner, be supportive and understanding, not a nag. Guys remember, happy wife = happy life.
Spread the love…

John Thompson has two favorite places.
One is his hometown.
"He talks at great length," Washington State University inside receivers coach JaMarcus Shephard said, "that Spanaway is one of the best places on earth."
And the other is Pullman, the town in which he plays home college football games.
Sign Up and Save

A former walk-on from Bethel High School, Thompson is now the de facto starter at wide receiver after River Cracraft's season-ending knee injury.
In last week's 38-24 loss to Colorado, the senior made his third career start. He also hauled in his second career touchdown on a 7-yard pass from Luke Falk late in the third quarter.
On Saturday, he very well could get his second career start in the Apple Cup. He was on the field for the first play of last year's 45-10 defeat at Husky Stadium.
"I have always been a Cougar fan," Thompson said. "I was never with the Huskies. WSU gave me a chance, and I could not be more blessed."
At Bethel, Thompson was an all-SPSL South defensive back who injured his ankle during his senior season in 2012, limiting him to five games.
By the time his ankle healed, only one of a handful of colleges that had offered him a scholarship — Central Washington — still kept it on the table.
"I talked to my parents about that," Thompson said. "I thought I was better than that, so I decided to walk on to a (NCAA) Division I program."
The obvious choice was WSU. Because his sister, Marcella, had attended the university, he had been going to Cougars football games since he was little.
He reported for preseason camp in August of 2013, and immediately caught the eye of coach Mike Leach. He appeared in two games as a true freshman.
Slowly his reserve role grew: Last season, Thompson caught 24 passes for 255 yards and his first touchdown in a WSU uniform against Arizona State.
But being Cracraft's direct backup, Thompson knew earning a starting spot was an uphill battle. Cracraft caught 53 passes this year before going down with a torn ACL against Arizona, had 53 receptions last year, 66 in 2014 and 46 in 2013.
"He is a baller," Thompson said.
Shephard was hired from Western Kentucky last offseason to replace David Yost. Shephard challenged Thompson in two areas before his senior season: bulking up another 10 pounds without losing flexibility, and better accelerating out of the break on his routes.
"On that touchdown catch against Colorado, he did a tremendous job of getting out of his break fast, and accelerating with speed," Shephard said.
What comes naturally to Thompson, Shephard said, is leadership.
"He was a spark plug, even though he doesn't say a whole lot," Shephard said.
With his final Apple Cup on the horizon, Thompson does not regret his decision one bit to come to WSU.
"It was a high risk, high reward decision," Thompson said. "I am so glad it paid off."

Organizing your HTML and CSS
Code that is neatly organized is much easier to read, easier to fix, and just better overall for you and anyone else that might be looking over your code. Whether you are using Adobe's Dreamweaver or just Notepad, keeping things organized is essential.
For starters
One thing that you can do to help the building process of a website is to simply add HTML comments at the end of div tags, at the start of a major section on your site, etc..
Here's an example:

Home

Blog

Comments help us understand code better. We can define clear lines in our code that state where items begin and end. In the example above, we have three comments:
-
-
-
-
These comments are separating the HTML into different sections so we can quickly identify where in the HTML we are. If you have any experience with server-side programming languages, this is similar to the multi-line comment /* Commented out code here */
CSS Comments
The same principles may also apply to CSS as well. Lets say that you have..
body { background-color: #3b3b3b; /*rgb(59, 59, 59)*/ margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.4em !important; /*do not change!*/ }
For CSS the same principles apply to HTML. We create comments to indicate where we are in the style sheet and also to make notes on our style sheet. In this example, we have a few notes that we left ourselves or anyone else that looks at our style sheet. Our first comment has the corresponding rgb values of our color and the second comment is to tell other people that the value should not be changed under any circumstances.
Commented out code
body { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.1em !important; width: 1000px; /*min-width: 900px;*/ }
Commenting out HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, etc... can be an easy and painless way of testing whether or not you have an error in your coding. You can easily comment out a segment of code and then test your project to see if the error still occurs.
These comments can be useful for you and anyone else that you are building a website with, for homework assignments if you happen to be learning web design in a class, or for any computer language really. They are not necessary to keep after the building and refining process is complete, however, they won't hurt anything if you decide to leave the comments there.

Hey everyone! Hope you're having a good week. I'm out of work early today so I'm pretty excited for that, as well as a long weekend!
Today's challenge is Disney movies and characters. I'm really not much of a Disney person so this was a bit challenging for me because I just wasn't very inspired. I decided to start with a color and see where I went with it and China Glaze With Love from the recent holiday collection was my choice. Instantly I thought: Minnie! So that's what we have today.
From left to right I have Minnie's bow (yes, I know, the colors are reversed), little Disney mice, Minnie's polka dots, and more mice. This was obviously super easy nail art but I'm still fairly proud. Nobody would probably know my inspiration if I didn't tell them but that's okay. Check out what my fellow challengers came up with!

Somewhere out there, in the teachers' lounge at a teachers college, people are chatting and laughing and sipping coffee — blissfully unaware that they're living exhibits in the Weird Punctuation Hall of Fame.
The weirdness comes courtesy of a single apostrophe, the one in teachers' lounge, and the conspicuous absence of another in teachers college. And, no, those aren't errors. In fact, that's how a lot of professional editors would punctuate these terms.
Careful readers sometimes notice dropped apostrophes in print: Check your homeowners policy. He joined a taxpayers association. She went to the farmers market. They got a couples massage.

5 Years Of e-elise etc!
October might just be my favourite month of the year. With Autumn on the way I can start to dig out my beloved knitwear, Halloween goodies start popping up all over the shops and it also marks some big blogging achievements. Not only does Blogger's Bookshelf turn three later this month (already?!) but today also marks five years since I started writing e-elise etc!
In honour of five years of blogging I decided to bake a gluten free treat! After much stress over trying to find a recipe that, a) I had all of the ingredients for, b) I really wanted to eat, and c) actually rose as it was supposed to (I'm looking at you failed first attempt!), I settled on this chocolate creation.
The recipe I used was the Chocolate & Almond cake from Cake Angels by Julia Thomas which happens to be both gluten and dairy free. As the tins I had were smaller than those suggested for the recipe, I ended up with three layers rather than just two and decided to add some of the filling mixture on top of the cake along with a few hazelnuts. To finish off I added a couple of decorations; a washi tape garland (made using some tape & string from a #paperhaul box) plus a cute number 5 candle.
Whether you've just discovered it recently or have stuck around for a while, thank you all so much for taking the time to read e-elise etc!

The Catbird Speaks 9.8.14 - Now, with Paul Boyé!/
It's been far too long since the last The Catbird Seat podcast. That prolonged absence allowed us to blow out the budget for this one, and bring in guest Paul Boyé to join Nick Schaefer in New York. Boyé's Baseball Twitter fame is staked on his work at Philadelphia Phillies blog Crashburn Alley, Sports on Earth and The Classical. His particular expertise on the Phillies allowed us to talk about the difficult process of building a winner after a once-celebrated core has passed their prime. You can follow Paul on Twitter at @paul_boye, since apparently you cannot put in accent marks in Twitter handles.
Also discussed: Carlos Rodon, White Sox free agency, the magic of Jose Abreu, filling left field with a warm body, Tyler Flowers, eh?, and of course, Dayan Viciedo.

Our young bloke was over at a sleepover last night. It offered us a chance to spend a bit of time together so we grabbed a video. I let the wife choose whatever she wanted to watch and she picked Daybreakers. I don't think that she looked past the star of the movie, Ethan Hawke, before making her choice.
The movie is rated MA 15+ Restricted, which must be a new classification, and is full of horror, gore and blood. Not exactly romantic but it did lead to a few holds of the arm. The movie was made in Australia but strangely there was one Australian actor who spoke with an American accent whilst the others did not and some cars were left-hand drive while others were right-hand drive. Quite a good movie but the climax was a little too simplistic.

Raaj comes to dinner table. Rano was worried that she didn't receive Rishi or Naitra's call. Ahana asks if she must call Naitra's mother as she went there. Rano at once forbids her, and tells her to serve. Bee ji comes there and says she went to Naitra's mother. Rano gets a cough. Tanuja brings Rishi home with a severe hang over. He drops a vase down on floor announcing he is back. Rano wonders where Naitra is when Rishi is here.
In the jail, Naitra wonders where she has got stuck.
Raaj tells UV and Manpreet to take Rishi to his room. Rishi climbs over their arms. Raaj asks Rishi where she found Rishi. Tanuja says she had some important work at Puna, she was in the same hotel as Rishi and found him like this. She goes upstairs. Rano thinks this Tanuja must have done something to Naitra surely.
In the room, Tanuja hears as Rishi tells Manpreet and UV what she did to him in the car. Tanuja tells them she only tied the seat belt. Manpreet and UV confirm if she is sure. Tanuja says she used the dupatta as well, he had been singing aloud and she was left helpless. Manpreet recalls the last time Rishi was drunk. Rishi moves to kiss Manpreet and UV's face, both resist. Tanuja screams as he runs behind her. Manpreet and UV leave.
Rano was worried as she comes to know Rishi and Naitra were caught by police and Naitra is still in jail. She makes upto Raaj that Naitra's mother had a heart attack and she must go there. Raaj says he would also come with Rano and looks around for his wallet. Rano thinks about calling the lawyer and reads a fake message to Raaj that Naitra's mother is fine.
The lady inspector tells Naitra she got a bail. Naitra comes excited to meet Rishi but Poorab was there in the cabin. Naitra walks alone on the road, Poorab stops the car nearby and offers her a drop. Naitra denies, she says she isn't interested in Poorab at all. Poorab stops his car right behind her and says he must not have saved Bedis. He isn't as bad as Bedi's consider him, he is actual good. He says he thought she might be interested to know why he saved her from jail, and asks to come along with her. She didn't turn around, Poorab gets into the car and drives away.
In the room, Rishi assures Tanuja he won't kiss her, for kissing their must be something in the heart. Tanuja asks what? He says only what happened to Ranjha when watching Heer. They come towards the window, Rishi qualifies there is a moon tonight. He then turns to Tanuja and says nothing happens to him looking towards her, there is only love in his heart whenever he watches her. Tanuja was elated to hear this, Rishi touches her hair strand saying it's the love for ages. Both smile. Tanuja holds Rishi's hands as she was happy.
PRECAP: Divia asks Rishi if they patched up again, wasn't he angry that she told them to leave the house. Rishi says he didn't ask Tanuja to make the Parathas, he goes to speak to Tanuja.

The Kia Venga is a nifty, small car with intricate detailing and saloon benefits to make it practical for the city, family weekends away, and all your everyday needs. It's a solid, efficient choice.
The Venga gets top marks for steering and gear changes, both of which are light and precise, making the driving experience dreamy, especially around congested city centres. The simplicity of the design makes bold notice of the dashing display panels and front window, aiding a simplistic, safe and confident experience behind the wheel. Furthermore, safety is key for Kia, with three-point seatbelts and airbags all round, both side and curtain.
Practical wide doors serve both front and back seating, allowing for comfortable and accessible manoeuvring in and out of the vehicle, especially when carrying large items of luggage.
From outside, the vehicle is a streamlined little thing, adept to fit in the tightest parking spots and the narrowest of lanes. It's a compact car with a lavish outlook, with a bold high-roof sitting over attractive streamlined windows.
Featuring ground-breaking technology which starts and stops the engine at traffic lights and other pauses in your journey, the Kia Venga has good economical practice at heart. These Eco dynamics extend to emission output. Five of the model types slot into Group B on the emissions scale, meaning you will pay only £20 a year Vehicle Excise Duty.
Engines are available in 1.4 and 1.6-litre petrol, and there are diesel variants available too. Not satisfied with just low emission engines, however, the Korean manufacturer has introduced an electric version of the new Kia Venga, using Lithium Polymer battery power.
This is where the surprise really kicks in. Lavish and roomy, the simplistic and charming interior has room enough for five. For transporting awkward loads, space is enhanced by 60:40 simple-fold-and-dive rear seats which fold into the floor creating a vast 1,253 litres cargo bay.
This vehicle is a much sought-after purchase, and one you should make for all the right reasons: economically savvy, friendly to look at and a really accessible drive, the Kia Venga should be taken seriously. Find out more about the new Kia Venga by contacting your local Charles Hurst Kia dealership in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

The clown show that is the Donald Trump presidential campaign is so surreal, so much like a bad movie, it just screams for commentary. Who am I to resist?
I'll leave the jokes for the pros. (Besides, this campaign is such a joke already, it defies the job of satire to make it seem even more ridiculous.) I'm more interested in how we've come to this truly bizarro point in our collective public life.
Um, I have an idea.
For about the last 30 years, and certainly the last eight or ten — in an effort to defeat Obama (unsuccessful), and control Congress (successful) — the GOP has not only admitted, but actively courted every nutsquad out there with a grudge: Tea Party loonies, birthers, homophobes, xenophobes, anti-abortion terrorists, racists, religious right fanatics, climate change deniers, neo-Nazis — you name it.
("What are you rebelling against?" biker Marlon Brando is asked in The Wild One. "Whattya got?" Brando drawls back. Trump is a master at serving up a bogeyman-du-jour from one speech to the next.)
Trump is like the Toxic Avenger, the goo that rises up out of this muck to overwhelm the mad scientist (or party) that created him. And now that he's finally beginning to self-destruct under the weight of his own bloated arrogance, Republican leaders are scrambling to save what's left of their party.
But it's too late for that. The damage is so done.
As soon as the GOP grudgingly named Trump to top their ticket, they've been willing to overlook his complete lack of policies, his woeful ignorance of foreign affairs, his inability to prep for a debate, his refusal to release his damning tax returns, and the outright lies and other random things that come out of his mouth on the stump.
He'll tell his cheering fans anything. He'll bring US business back from China (but that's where he sends all his own manufacturing). He'll get Americans to work again — he just won't pay them. (Look at his own record of stiffing contractors and other employees who worked for him.)
It's taken the almost daily allegations of repulsive sexual conduct in these last couple of weeks to alert even the most comatose of GOP stalwarts that something might be just a little off about their so-called candidate. (Not because they actually think there's anything wrong with his "locker-room banter," so much as the dim realization that over half the voting population is, you know, female. Trump's response? Repeal the 19th Amendment.)
This is not Reality TV; this is supposed to be Presidential politics.Those thundering hoofbeats you hear is the stampede of party leaders trying to distance themselves from the Trump debacle while they still can.
It's not news that their candidate is an unrepentant sleazebag, an "octopus" (albeit small-handed) who drools all over pretty women like Kujo. Why are party leaders and supporters surprised? Why didn't the GOP quit him months ago?
Because they kept hoping to sway his nutball "base" back to their own agenda. Ha! As if Trump cared about anyone's agenda but his own. He wants to promote himself as a rich "celebrity," because then he can "get away with" groping unwilling women and paying off debts with lawsuits. All he wants to do is win this horse race, a goal that grows more laughable every hour.
The GOP is the horse he rode in on. The disastrous Trump campaign is going down in flames, and now it threatens to take the whole party with it. And it couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of folks.

This seems sensible enough to any normal person.
Would you allow a school visit to an MRSA st398 infected farm, if you were responsible?
Of course, the answer is no!
Otherwise, the inevitable row continues with increasing vigour and political concern.
A difficult long-standing problem, running beyond national boundaries, is now out in the open, where it should have been a decade ago.
Danish report here.
Committee will have transparency on pig MRSA
Randers-politician now wants local pig farming screened for pig-MRSA,while Agriculture and Food and Environmental journalist Kjeld Hansen arguing loudly about the risk of infection is highest
By Knud Abildtrup,
RANDERS: Welfare list in Randers now requires that local pig farms should be screened for multi-resistant swine MRSA so that school children are not sent on a visit to the stables with bacteria. This happens after TV2 East Jutland could tell that Randers is the East Jutland municipality where most people have been infected with the bacterium, writes environmental journalist Kjeld Hansen on his blog gylle.dk .
MRSA bacteria can cause abscesses and be dangerous for people with weakened immune.
Today, one can not ascertain what pig farms infected. But it needs to change if it is to Welfare List Chairman of the Social Committee, Kasper Fuhr Christensen:
- We can for example create a website where you can see where there isa risk of infection. It must be the first step. In addition, the need to make some relief for children and others that are related to municipal employees. This will ensure that they do not come close to sources of contamination.

A budget is the estimated cost or revenue for a project or task. You track project status and performance by comparing budgeted amounts to actuals using reports and Project Status Inquiry.
Budget can be tracked at various levels like Top Task or Lowest Task level, Project level. Each budget can have detailed or summary information in the following areas, as appropriate for each project.
We can enter a budget for the duration of the project or tasks (also known as budget at completion), or you can enter time–phased budgets which contain budget amounts by time period. We can enter time–phased budgets at the project, top task, or lowest task levels by organization and then by expenditure category within that organization. The Budget Entry Method selected for each budget determines the duration of the budget.
We can have multiple Budget versions created for a project. Each budget has a draft, which is a working area for an in–process budget. The draft will not appear in any project status tracking inquiries or reports. (Note that draft is not a budget type, since any type of budget can have a draft.) For each budget, you can create and save many budget versions. Each time you baseline a draft, you create a new version. To help identify budget versions, you can give each version a unique name and specify a change reason. You can view summary and detail information for all budget versions.
Each budget version has one of the following classifications:
Original Budget: The first time you baseline a draft, the version is marked as the Original Budget.
Revised Original Budget: You may need to revise your Original Budget due to budget entry errors or changes in the project scope. When you baseline a draft, you can identify the new baselined version as a Revised Original. In calculations and displays that use the Original Budget, the most recent Revised Original is used (or the Original Budget, if there is no Revised Original).
Current Budget: The most recent baselined version of the budget is the Current Budget. You can have only one Current Budget for each budget type. Current Budget amounts are shown in the Project Status Inquiry window.
Historical Baselined Versions: Any baselined budget that is not the Current Budget is considered an historical version of the
Budget types identify the different kinds of budgets that you enter for your projects. For cost budget types, you can enter quantities, raw cost, and burdened costs. For budget using revenue budget types, you can enter quantities and revenue amounts.
Oracle Projects predefines four budget types:
· Approved Cost Budget
· Approved Revenue Budget
· Forecast Cost Budget
· Forecast Revenue Budget
Budget Creation-Cost Budget
Navigate: Budgets
1. Choose the project for which you want to enter or revise budget amounts.
2. Choose the budget type. The budget type field enables you to have more than one series of budgets for a project. The budget type determines whether the budget is a revenue budget or cost budget.
3. Version Name: Enter the version name.
4. Budget Status :The budget status will be displayed, indicating where the budget is In the working/submission/baselining process.
5. Change Reason: Enter a change reason. The change reason identifies the reason for changing a budget version from a previous version.
6. Budget Entry Method You can accept or override the default budget entry method (BEM), which determines the level of detail for the budget. If you are entering the first draft for the budget type, the default BEM is determined by the project type of the project. If a prior version of the budget type exists, the default BEM is the budget entry method of the project's current budget for the budget type.
7. Resource List: The resource list is the set of resources that can be used as budget categories for a categorized (detail) budget. These resources will be displayed on the list of values for resource when you are entering budget lines.
8. Choose the Details button to open the Budget Lines window.
1. Select the Resource against which you want to budget
2. Select the Amount Type, amount types are dependant upon the Resource selection.
If you are entering a project level budget, the Budget Lines window will open. If you are entering a task level budget, the Task Budgets window will open. Select a task, and then choose Budget Lines to open the Budget Lines window.
If you are entering a budget that is period–phased (time–phased by PA period or GL period), the matrix entry Budget Lines window will be displayed for budget lines entry. The matrix entry window opens automatically when you navigate to the Budget Lines window for a period–phased budget. The type of time–phasing of the budget is determined by the Budget
Entry Method selected for the budget.
When you complete budget entry, you need to submit your draft budget to indicate that it is ready for review and baselining.
Baselining is the process of approving a budget for use in reporting and accounting. When the baselining function is called, the system copies the draft amounts into a new baselined budget
Version. The most recent baselined version is named the Current Budget, which is used for reporting. All previously baselined budgets are historical baselined versions. The Current Budget, and all other baselined budget versions, has a status of Baselined.

Wiseacre Brewing out of Memphis, TN makes some solid "everyday" beers, but it's their specialty releases that consistently impress me the most. One of their 2016 examples is the fun and fruity Symphonic, an American Wild Ale fermented in oak barrels.
Symphonic is hazy, straw yellow with a momentary fizzy head that rapidly retreats without leaving any bubbles behind. The aroma released from the pour is a bit subtle due to the lack of head retention, but what is detected is fruit-dominated with a bouquet of apple, apricot, peach, and lemon. Underneath are slight earthy aromas, and the nose also forecasts a bit of sourness.
Much like Champagne, the effervescence is noticeable even though the mouthfeel is light on this 6% ABV beer. The initial flavors are apple, peach, pear, and apricot. The sourness increases as the beer flows down the tongue beginning with the sweet apple turning more towards the slight sourness of a Granny Smith. This flavor morphs to lime then lemon as the beer reaches the back of the tongue. The lemon lingers in the aftertaste before slowly fading to the wild ale barnyard notes. The sourness of the beer is fun but not overpowering. It seems the oak fermentation was meant to add the sourness to this wild ale rather than to add any oaky flavors. And just so I don't do a whole beer review without mentioning hops, I'll say that this is a beer with no noticeable hop contribution.
Symphonic is a marvelously composed fruity and fun mélange. It is a bright, crisp beer that perfectly blends sweetness with a bit of funk and sour. Its Champagne-like qualities make it perfect for a celebration, but it also tastes mighty-fine on a Tuesday night at home.
Outdoor Friendliness (Wiseacre's specialty beers are in 22 oz glass bottles)…N/A
Aroma (subtle but complex)…7/10
Flavor (fruity, funky, and fun)…8/10
Style-Appropriateness (nice blending of sweet and sour with a bit of earthy)…9/10

Whoa, seriously only one week into December and I got a major, cold/flu/who-knows-what, but it has really knocked the productive wind out of me. (It seems like almost every holiday season I come down with something crazy.)
Between all the coughing and blowing my nose it has really been rest central around here, which is the hardest thing in the world for me: sitting and resting and not really doing much of anything. I did finally manage to get our house decorated and picked up from all the holiday boxes I had all over the place. I am really trying not to push myself to hard, so it has been a lot of do one small task then sit and rest, then repeat.
As for holiday projects, I am behind on the entire list, so it will be a mad dash to get them finished up once I feel better or if all else fails I will move on to plan B. Yesterday, I did manage to work up the energy to finish up one quick project: a faux mini tree skirt for my mini Paris themed tree! I have to admit I love how it turned out.
It took me less than 30 mins, used up some fur I have had in my fabric stash for the last 10 years (I know this because I used the fur in fashion school to make a hat, seriously I love to save things especially fabric. You never know when it will come in handy!), the bottom side is some cranberry cotton I also had in my stash, after cutting, sewing right sides together with the serger, turning right side out, and a quick finish with some hand sewing, the tree skirt was all finished up!
Now the only problem is that I think our big tree needs a faux fur tree skirt and I don't have enough leftover fur to make one…. so maybe the hunt for some more faux fur has begun 😉

I do go on about how much I love seeing my fabric in different contexts, made into different things. So I was absolutely flattered when Kirsten from Assemblage blogged not once, but twice about my new Charcoal Birch. How awesome are these photos and the skirt itself!

I'm forced to listen to NPR. At last I'll know they'll not speak of that barbaric sport. Only 2 or 3 weeks to go. Maybe. Good thing about not being in the NE area is it's easier to hide from it all.
Although a few articles make it better:
Bob Ryan puts everything into perspective, as he usually does. And Borges be's Borges, and he's right. At season start the team did seem young and inexperienced. Not much you can do about that. Before the game that was the number one fear, playing with players without playoff experience.
Besides, it is nice to be in this position, bummed about not getting the 4th trophy. Just wish it hadn't been against a friggin' NY (ne NJ) team.
And spring training is only a month or so away.

Back in 1999, Y2K was on everyone's mind. With the end of the year looming, many feared that when the clocks struck midnight signaling the start of January 1, 2000, any entity using a computer or machine powered by a computer chip would fail to operate properly unless the computers' software was repaired or replaced before that date. IT companies, like Compaq where I was working, had teams working feverishly, checking systems and fixing software for government entities and enterprise companies.
As news channels increased their reporting about the impending Y2K catastrophe, friends started calling asking me with urgency to take a look at their computers. It wasn't long before word spread and I found myself offering similar services to small businesses. I became so inundated with calls and work I began asking my skilled friends and colleagues to help. Instead of the side work ending after the New Year as I had expected, it only increased as these small business owners wanted other types of IT support. Clients started asking us to simplify desktop applications, provide firewall protection, email spam, fix printer errors and more. That's when GiaSpace was born.

Laser Lines
Based in Neath, South Wales, LASE stands out from the laser cladding crowd as it offers a unique combination of contracting, consultancy and equipment.
A Laser Lines partner since the company's inception, LASE prides itself on offering bespoke solutions for its customers. This could be acting as a laser cladding job shop, providing valuable consultancy on the practical applications of laser cladding, or as an installer of bespoke laser equipment to meet specific customer requirements.
Laser cladding is used for the precision overlay of one material to the surface of another. It's typically used for a multitude of metal components that are subject to corrosion or wear. Traditional methods of cladding and coating often lead to high heat input, causing component distortion, formation of coarse grain structure and poor adhesion to base material.
Dr Sam Lester, technical director at LASE, says: "Once very much confined to the steel industry, increasingly manufacturing and engineering businesses are waking up to the benefits that laser cladding can bring."
"As well as carrying out laser cladding work on our premises or on-site, we build and install equipment for our customers to use in-house. We not only provide the equipment but also the advice and guidance that are necessary for our customers to make a long-term success of laser cladding."
Dr Lester continues, "We have a fantastic relationship with Laser Lines. I had experience of working with Laser Lines in a previous role and knew that LASE could benefit from and rely on the proven track record Laser Lines has in the field. We're comfortable with the equipment and technology it provides, so much so that Laser Lines is always our first port-of-call when building laser cladding systems for our customers."
Laser Lines has provided LASE with a high power diode Laserline laser from its wide range of industrial laser products. The Laserline 3kW LDM system is the perfect solution for LASE, as not only is it extremely reliable and easy to use, but it's cost effective as well. The LDM model is small and compact, and therefore easy to own and easy to transport.
The beam it produces is ideally suited for the work LASE does on a daily basis. As Dr Lester explains: "What you get from the LDM system is a large, round, and most importantly, uniform beam. Lots of other products on the market offer a large, round beam, with greater intensity towards the centre, which makes it ideal for other laser applications, but without the uniformity that's required for effective laser cladding."
With an ever-expanding customer base, LASE is going from strength to strength as more businesses recognise the many and varied benefits of laser cladding, as well as the advantages of working with experts in the field such as the team here at Laser Lines
If you're a laser cladding shop, or an installer of bespoke laser systems, are you sure you're using the best laser for the job? If not, and for more details on laser cladding or how Laser Lines can help your business, call us on 01295 672588 or email email@example.com

What is it that makes people say one thing (in church) and do another (during the week).
Quite contrary to the popular belief that these people are wicked or sinful, I believe that the reason is fear.
The fear that what they espouse on Sundays will not work in the world drives them to behave differently in their work environment and even in their family life.
And the fear of ostracism causes them to mouth agreement with Jesus on Sundays.
The fear of hell makes them say one thing and do another.
So, rather than thinking of these people as the enemy, we should have compassion for them, so ruled are they by fear.
Their fear makes them do what everybody else does - at work and in church.
How can we reduce their fear?
By removing the threat of hell to begin with.
And increasing their faith.
That God will deliver us; and God will provide.
Pray for this.

Asian markets face headwinds from global trade tensions and a rise in volatility but the region's positive long-term economic and financial fundamentals should act as a buffer, Manulife Asset Management said in its regional outlook for the second half of 2018.
"We have seen relatively few changes in Asia's fundamentals since markets became more volatile in February," said Mr Geoff Lewis, Senior Strategist, Asia, at Manulife Asset Management. "The economic data for Asia suggests that activity remains broadly stable."
Global financial markets have experienced greater volatility as uncertainties multiplied in first half of 2018, fuelled by political worries in Europe, trade tensions between the US and China, increasing financial risks in some emerging markets such as Argentina and Turkey, and fears that a more hawkish US Federal Reserve will raise interest rates by more than markets can bear.
Asian markets were relatively resilient against this unpromising backdrop until May. But in June, fears of a stronger dollar and higher US interest rates, coupled with the US-China trade conflicts, hit sentiment heavily in Asian equity markets. If markets weaken further, it can be seen as a good long-term buying opportunity, says the report.
The positive investment case for Asia is well supported by a number of factors:
"Economic growth for Asia ex-Japan in the first quarter of 2018 rose a little, boosted by the data from Hong Kong, India, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand, which all showed sequential improvement," Mr Lewis said. "Export numbers have also improved, though recently purchasing managers' indices for new export orders have fallen back. Should Asian exports weaken in the second half of the year, domestic demand remains solid across much of Asia and will act as a buffer."
Asia remains a dynamic player in the current global economic expansion, which is not under any immediate threat of rolling over. Updated forecasts for the global economy for 2018-19 by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development in June pointed to expected growth of close to 4%.
Despite the geopolitical and trade risks, investors should expect a continuation rather than an interruption of global growth on a six- to 12-month horizon and plan their investments accordingly. Global growth continues to draw fundamental support from the US and China. The world's two largest economies are more driven by domestic demand than exports, though the focus on import tariffs tends to obscure this. US growth is on a solid footing, given the strong job market, robust corporate profits and sound financial sector. While China's growth is set to slow modestly, the latest data shows that upgrading in the manufacturing sector is continuing at a steady pace.
Even if the US-China trade frictions remain, China's greater integration into the global economy will continue apace, with or without the US. China is now a top 10 trading partner for more than 100 countries that account for 80% of global gross domestic product. Chinese imports in aggregate are expected to grow at a healthy pace, supported by firm domestic demand. Meanwhile, US import demand will stay strong thanks to robust domestic spending and the recent rebound in the dollar which boosts real national disposable income via cheaper imports.

Due to some unforseen problems with their visas, Hour of Penance will not be able to make the North American tour this summer featuring Septicflesh, Fleshgod Apocalypse, and Necronomicon.
They will be replaced with Black Crown Initiate.
Necronomicon released this statement in regards to the situation:
So yeah that sucks. Especially considering how awesome their recent release "Regicide" was... it really had me pumped. Oh well. Hopefully they'll try again another time.
On a lighter note, the mighty Gloom (who've just had one of their songs named one of Loudwire's picks for greatest metal tracks of 2014) will be opening for the tour's stop in Springfield, Virginia at Empire, so that pretty much makes up for the loss and the current bill still will make for a fucking awesome show!
Keep an eye out on the calendar for any changes.
