Similar in style and design to wall-lamps in the Tolomeo range, this beautiful example of modernistic design is not only functional but is also warming and rather comforting. Other lamps in the same range have a more industrialist style, whereas this wall lamp shade seems to have a slightly more elegant and opulent characteristic. Like the pretty sister of the family, this lamp has the same construction as its more masculine brothers, such as the clip spot, or the table lamp, but comes across in a more delicate way due its diffuser shade and Petit frame.
The designers of the Tolomeo range work for a large and very successful light design and production company called Artemide. The Artemide Group was founded by Ernesto Gismondi in 1959 and operates with 16 subsidiaries and affiliated companies. They have production centres in Italy, France, Germany, the USA, Czech Republic and Hungary and work hard to solve lighting problems that are evident in the modern day. Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina are creators of the Tolomeo range and received the 1989 Compasso d'Oro award for excellence in engineering and performance. Due to this, the Tolomeo range in particular, has become an icon of contemporary lighting design and really shows off the intelligence and creativity of the designers at the Artemide Group.
The light that can be achieved from the wall lamp is both intense and ambient depending on individual needs. When the diffuser is pointed downwards, it can provide a more intense light beam that will bring clarity to the space beneath. When the diffuser is pointing upwards is can create a wonderfully warm and inviting glow that will brighten up the room in a soft and ambient way. If intense light is needed the lamp can be moved downwards with the tension knobs and can point directly at the desired object.
Following similar structural design to the other lamps in the Tolomeo range, the wall lamp with shade has a fully-adjustable and positionable arm that allows the lamp to move freely from the base. The tension cables that are evident throughout the range, help to make the manoeuvrability of the product easier and more effective allowing various different lighting effects. The pivot lever at the very top of the shade allows it to tilt at various angles directing light wherever it is needed. The main structure of the light is made from aluminium with steel tension cables, and the diffuser Is made from either silver silk or parchment to allow for customisation.
This lamp looks amazing in a modern home, especially one with neutral colour palettes, and warm, textured furnishings. Due to the slight femininity of this lamp in comparison to its more masculine brothers in the Tolomeo range, this light can also look magnificent in a more traditionally styled room. With such a extensive range of lights, the Tolomeo range has something for everyone and this lamp in particular is a wonderful example of beauty and brains.

I still use an older Sony cassette based Camcorder as a hand held unit when storm chasing and with this and the included software its very easy to pull the videos directly off of the camera and save in the Chase folder for editing. I do have several newer digital camcorders but I love the feel of the older heavier units and this makes getting those videos off the camera and into production a breeze. Excellent Product !!!
If you have the budget, the 70D would be my pick of the litter. Keep in mind, if you own an iPhone and are simply publishing basic vlogs to YouTube, you might not need anything more. If you're aiming to achieve "filmic" results, and want to interchange lenses (so you can capture close-ups and wide angles for instance) then definitely give these DSLR cameras consideration.
The T#i line is what they call a "pro-sumer" line, which is basically between a consumer line camera like a very basic DSLR and a professional DSLR camera, thus the term "pro-sumer." Typically what this meant is an DSLR with an APS-C sized sensor, decent resolution, and some hand-me-down professional features of pro-grade cameras from a few years ago. For this reason, sometimes it's not worth upgrading from one of these cameras to the next until at least a few generations have past (meaning if you have a T5i, it's not really a giant leap forward to upgrade to a T6i). However, the T7i is somewhat different. When I was doing research on what features it has and what it is missing compared to the pro-grade DSLRs that are considered "current" right now, I was surprised to find very little. The main differences really is that the pro-grade cameras have the LCD display on the top that would display all of your relevant camera settings, and then a few of them would also sport a full-frame sensor. Other than that, the differences are very minor. Something like maybe 1 or 2 frames less in burst mode or something like that. Nothing that would really jump out at you and make you regret not stepping up to the professional grade equivalent (Think it would be the 77D?). It actually has pretty much all of the big features of even their current pro-grade DSLRs, making the T7i probably one of the best prosumer DSLRs to buy.

Men are pigs: Kelly Brook
London: Actress-model Kelly Brook targets at her ex-boyfriends Billy Zane and Jason Statham again by branding them as "pigs".
The "Piranha 3D" star released her tell-all memoir "Close Up" earlier this month in which she detailed her romances with Zane, Statham and British rugby star Danny Cipriani.
She made personal revelations about all three men in the tome, and even revealed she had punched both Statham and Cipriani in the face during bust-ups, and now she has hit out at two of her ex-lovers again, reports dailymail.co.uk.
"Last year, when the Danny thing was ending, Jason called out of the blue and said, 'I still love you so much', and I said, 'I still love you.' We'll always still love each other. Then I read the next day that he'd broken up with Rosie so it was obvious why he called. I don't want to be a crutch for someone and I thought it was a genuine phone call. Men are such pigs. He and Rosie got back together and I haven't heard from him since...
"(Zane) wanted me either to look like a 1960s Bond girl or a 1950s housewife. That's how he saw me. I felt I had to find out who I was and what my own style was anyway, but it was controlling. He projected all his fantasies on to me. I never had a real life with him. I was always in a fantasy fairytale," she said.

BEIRUT: They swarmed through deserts, steppes and mountains across Central Asia, killing, plundering, bringing fear and death to all who opposed them. Great cities fell: Aleppo, Baghdad, Damascus, Delhi, and Kabul. The Mongols changed the map of Eurasia forever.
Recently republished in paperback, Timothy May's "The Mongol Empire" is part of a major series of books on the history of the Islamic world from the University of Edinburgh.
May provides a much-needed global perspective on Mongol rule, and its impact on Islam itself: Mongol converts represented a staggering increase in the number of Muslims in the world at the time, and their conquest only fueled the spread of the religion. Three further Islamic empires, meanwhile, would rise from the Mongol's eventual disintegration.
But unlike the Ottoman, Fatimid and Seljuk empires, the Mongols were not majority Muslim; indeed, one of the great strengths of the four great "Khanates" was the tolerance of religious freedom they extended to their subjects.
The greatest Khan, Temujin, was crowned Genghis Khan, Ruler of the Universe, in 1206. In his late thirties, he was a brilliant warrior and commanded a vast army famed and feared for its superb horsemanship and remarkable archery. Cunning and opportunistic, he allegedly proclaimed: "I am the punishment of God. If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you."
When he died in 1227, Genghis Khan ruled an empire the size of a continent, from China to Europe. History shows that it is easier to build an empire than preserve it, and the fate of his successors proved even the Mongol Khans were no exception.
The Mongols left virtually no written record of their empire, but their legacy lasts to this day. During their rule, they not only facilitated trade, offering merchants protection, status, and tax-exemption, but actively encouraged the use of the East-West trade routes later known as the fabled Silk Road, linking China, India, Europe and the Middle East.

Previous Winners
2017 - Rich Yessian (SC)
One of the founders of the National Referee Program, Dr. Robert Evans was a prominent presence in US soccer refereeing for over 40 years. Originally from Great Britain, Bob arrived in North Texas in 1969. He was a goalkeeper with the Amateur State Championship team and also a referee in local leagues. He was appointed as a linesman in the North American Soccer League and subsequently decided to give up playing to concentrate on his referee career. He became a referee in the NASL and was later appointed to the FIFA list, the first referee in Region III to receive this honor. Bob was also very active as a referee instructor and gave countless clinics at various levels throughout Texas, Region III and the rest of the country. Following his retirement as a referee, Bob accepted the position of National Director of Instruction and served many years on the National Referees' Committee. He later became the first FIFA Referee Instructor from the USA. He also found time to serve as an assessor at amateur and professional levels and wrote many articles on refereeing, plus a Manual for Linesmen, and a very successful comprehensive 300- page book on advice and education for referees. A member of the NTSSA Hall of Fame, he received the Eddie Pearson Award from US Soccer which recognizes outstanding achievement and contribution to the National Referee Program.
The Bob Evans Award is presented to an individual within Region III who reflects a similar dedication to refereeing. The awardee should have demonstrated high achievement and success as a referee, and also outstanding contributions to the refereeing program in the form of instruction, assessment and/or administration over a sustained period of at least 15 years.

Basic SEO Tips for Bloggers
Any blogger will have heard the term 'SEO' floating around and it has become increasingly important over the past few years. If you are keen to drive traffic towards your blog whether it is a full time job or just a hobby, you will need to follow a few tips to make sure your SEO game is tip top. If you don't know, SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation and is the process of affecting the visibility of your website by improving your organic ranking in search engines. Basically if you have a fashion blog and are based in Manchester, you will want to appear when someone searches for "Manchester Fashion Blog" and SEO can make this happen.
There are lots of things which can affect your ranking and it is important to know that Google takes this very seriously. It has a series of algorithms which will read through your content, link profile and navigation to determine where you should rank. The better your SEO, the higher you will rank and more traffic will be driven towards your blog.
I have put together the following tips which are incredibly easy to follow and will hopefully give you an idea how you can improve your SEO.
First off, one of the most crucial areas of SEO is your content. Google has a specific algorithm (called Panda, it sounds much cuter than it actually is) to look through your content and make sure it is relevant and useful.
Something that bloggers sometimes don't realise is the length of your post can be very important. Although it can look good and you might be able to say everything you need to in a short paragraph, it is much better if you can write a longer post. You may think that people are more likely to read a shorter post but on my fashion and beauty blog, some of my most read posts are up to 1000 words long. You can still have short posts but ideally, you should have a few longer posts of at least 500-800 words mixed in.
As a blogger myself, I realise that sometimes you can lose a bit of inspiration and the blogging can take a bit of a hit. In the past, I have taken breaks lasting a few weeks and even a few months which can be important to keep the blogging love going! Unfortunately, breaks like this can have a very bad affect on your SEO. Regular content generates much more traffic to your blog so if you do need a break, try to get a few posts scheduled so your blog can still work whilst you are resting!
Links are the subject of another Google algorithm (Penguin) and can be incredibly important for adding value to your blog. If you can develop a good 'link profile' (lots of relevant website's linking to your blog), Google will see that your blog is worth reading and will boost your ranking.
The first thing to consider is the link to your actual blog posts. This is called a permalink and is the bit after your URL which appears in the search bar for your post. You can change the permalink in the post editor for both Blogger and Wordpress and I would recommend optimising this to include the subject of the post. If you are writing about a beauty product, include the brand and name of the product in the permalink.
A very easy way to link to your own content is to link FROM your own content. This is called an internal link and can add value to your posts by linking to them from relevant terms. You may have a beauty blog and regularly write product reviews. If you then go to write a post about your favourite beauty products and mention something you have written about before, include a link to your product review from the product name. This can keep readers engaged on your blog and stop them reading elsewhere.
You may not realise that your blog design can have a huge impact on SEO. Google finds it very important that your blog is simple to navigate and will be easy to read on all devices.
Recently, Google introduced a rule that websites which are not mobile friendly, or responsive, will be penalised - so if your blog design is not viewable on mobiles, your ranking will drop. On Blogger, it is easy to turn on the 'mobile template' on the Template page. If you prefer something a bit more special, there are lots of responsive blog designs available to buy online for both Blogger and Wordpress and can be very affordable.
You should also ensure that your blog is easy to navigate. This means it should be simple for a reader to find their way around your blog and get to where they want to be. If you have a few different pages, make sure you have a navigation menu. You can also use this to link to blog post categories such as fashion, beauty, lifestyle, food etc. If a reader wants to only read your beauty posts, they can then just click a link and it will take them there. A search bar can also be very useful to find a specific post and this can be added as a widget for Blogger and Wordpress blogs.
Although this is mixed in with the content aspect of your blog, keywords definitely deserve their own section due to their importance. When SEO first started, it was all about adding relevant keywords to your blog and putting them anywhere and everywhere. Since then, Google has wised up and you have to be clever about using them.
When writing a post, it will be scanned for relevant keywords and it will be ranked for the words which appear most. This may convince you to put the words 'red lipstick' in every sentence of your 'Top 5 Red Lipsticks' post but I must tell you not to do this. 'Keyword stuffing' can have the opposite effect on SEO as it does not look natural. Keep the keyword density to 20% and make sure it reads well. Think of different keywords to use such as relevant brands, products and general topics you are writing about. If you are feeling fancy, you can even use a Keyword Planner Tool to find the perfect keywords to use.
Labels, Categories or Tags can be used to include keywords into your posts but again, don't go overboard. If there are a few relevant topics in a particular blog post then it is fine to add a few tags in but I would keep it to a main category and then some smaller relevant topics. For example, if you are writing a review of a restaurant, you may want to add 'food' as the main Label or Category. You could then add 'review', 'lifestyle', 'restaurant' etc. depending on what you want people to search for.
Images can also have an affect on your SEO without you even realising. There are little tricks you can use to optimise your images to make sure you are covering all ground.
When Google goes to read through a blog post, images are overlooked if it can not tell what it is about. To give your image a description you can add in something called an Alt tag. This means your images can be read and will appear in search results. To add an Alt tag in Blogger, you can click the image and select Properties and then add your description into 'Alt Text'. On Wordpress, you can add the Alt tag when you upload an image or add it straight into the HTML in text mode as below:
<img alt="ADD ALT TEXT HERE" src="IMAGE URL" />
Another way to improve image SEO is to name your images to be relevant to the post they will appear in, instead of leaving them as their default name (e.g. IMG_3546.jpg). If you are writing a beauty review, rename your images to be the name of the product (e.g. MAC-Russian-Red-Review.jpg).
Hopefully this has given you a bit more of an idea how you can implement SEO on you blog and start to rank higher! If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments below and I will answer them as soon as possible.

Mother's high vitamin B levels may cut eczema risk in babies, shows study | The Indian Express Infants whose mothers had a higher level of a particular type of vitamin B during pregnancy may be at a lower risk of developing eczema — inflammation of the skin — researchers have found. The study, from the University of Southampton in Britain, is the first to link maternal serum levels of nicotinamide — a naturally occurring form of vitamin B3 — and related metabolites to the risk of atopic eczema — the most common form of eczema — in the child. The results showed that offspring of mothers with higher levels of nicotinamide had a 30 per cent lower chance of developing atopic eczema at 12 months.

About DigitalPhone.io
DigitalPhone.io (formerly Carolina Digital) is a pioneer of hosted phone services, and provides products that improve the capabilities of business and education telephony, while reducing their overall cost. The company's offerings stand out for their excellent value, including very competitive pricing, the industry's deepest feature set, ease of deployment, and many user-friendly packages — from a full turnkey set-up including dial tone and VoIP phones, to automated call answering and routing solutions that work with existing land lines, cell phones or VoIP phones.
When a small North Carolina company with a handful of employees was awarded the Johnston County Schools contract for a new 4,500 phone system, shock waves reverberated throughout the industry. How does a small company with a few technicians go up against a Fortune 500 technology company over a complex, demanding government contract and win?
Nicky Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Carolina Digital, has a simple explanation, "Quality, Price and Service." But a full analysis of these factors uncovers a story that is more interesting than Smith's shorthand suggests and reveals a revolutionary new dynamic that is at work in the telecommunication industry specifically and has wide reaching repercussions for businesses across a multitude of industries.
The current state of the market for business phone systems is in flux. Mobile phone use dominates the headlines because of its explosive growth. But landline phones or fixed phones are also undergoing sea of changes as Internet Service has made the standard landline phone in many ways obsolete. Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phones, the replacement for a traditional landline phone, have been adopted more quickly by residential users than by businesses. VoIP phones, in simpler terms, are phones that do not utilize the standard phone company lines but rather use the internet to transmit a digital audio signal. These phones are also referred to as IP phones.
Residential phone use today is split evenly between VoIP and traditional phone landlines, according to the latest Federal Communications Commission (FCC) report, (Industry Analysis Report, 3). Meanwhile, for businesses,VoIP use is only 18 percent and a whopping 82 percent of business lines are still traditional. This might seem surprising but it makes sense considering early VoIP systems depended on an internet connection for service, which was anything but reliable in the early days. Also, prior to the ubiquitous high-speed connections, the bandwidth of most business internet connections wasn't broad enough to allow multiple phones and computers to be online at the same time.
Another factor for consideration related to business operations is the complexity and functionality needed in the phone system of an organization with a multitude of phones and departments. Initially, VoIP phones were not able to compete with all of the options available in an elaborate company phone system. But that pendulum has widely swung. The available features in a VoIP phone system now eclipses a legacy or standard phone system by a wide margin. Many companies have large capital investments in these systems as well and have been reluctant to make a switch to what has been perceived as an inferior service. However, the current VoIP phone is comparable to a complicated phone system. In fact, according to a study by Software Advice, business decision makers that are looking to switch from their standard landline phone system to a VoIP set-up, and they are doing so largely due to the more extensive phone features offered with VoIP phones. Features such as call queues, auto attendants, follow-me, find me and complex call routing rules, that can all be easily modified.
As the numbers show, VoIP phone adoption is the biggest change going on in the business phone industry. In fact, the rate of growth of VoIP phones is actually five times that of the rate of growth of mobile phones, although the number of mobile phones is much higher. The decline of traditional phone lines is currently 10 percent per year according to the FCC. As VoIP phone systems have become more and more robust, dependable and feature rich, the switchover from traditional phone system in the business community has become inevitable. It's no longer a matter of whether a company will switch to a VoIP phone system or not, but when.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is known to be one of the most common causes of end-stage renal disease. The disease is usually not detected on time, because of the large functioning reserve of the kidney. Currently used markers (serum creatinine, creatinine clearance, urea, and electrolytes) remain relatively normal even when more than 50% of the renal nephron is not functioning. The aim of this study was to determine the level of urinary N-acetyl-beta-d-glucosaminidase (NAG) in diabetic adults in comparison with some currently used markers. A total of 56 diabetic patients between the ages of 23 and 63 were used for this study and 30 nondiabetic between the ages of 18 and 62 were used as control. The diabetic patients were classified into three groups based on how long they have been diagnosed: <2 years (25), 2–5 years (30), and >5 years (25). Spot midstream urine samples were collected into sterile containers, and blood samples were collected into plain tubes. All the analyses were done spectrophotometrically. Creatinine clearance was calculated using the Cockcroft–Gault Equation. There was a significant increase (P < 0.01) in NAG values of 2–5 years and above 5 years and control. The urinary microalbumin concentration of controls was significantly different (P < 0.05) only with those who have had DM for <2 years. Urinary creatinine concentration of control was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than values of all the diabetic groups. There was a significant increase (P < 0.01) in creatinine clearance of control group and those who have had DM for <2 years. It is thus concluded that urinary NAG can be used as an early marker in the diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy since urinary NAG increases first before the other markers analyzed in this current study begins to increase.
Keywords: Creatinine clearance, diabetic nephropathy, microalbumin, N-acetyl-beta-d-glucosaminidase

Some time ago I read an article on Kosher food. I was fascinated by the author's reason for keeping Kosher:
Because it's difficult. You have to think about it so you don't mistakes. It takes effort. It's not what you're doing that's important, it's the effort that means something.
I'm paraphrasing from memory, but I rather admired his honesty when it came to the original reasons for Kosher, that they'd become obsolete centuries ago. Keeping kosher was nothing but an act of devotion to his God, something that he did which may seem pointless but he imagined his God had a reason, even if he didn't understand it, and it would please him. So doing it was fulfilling for him.
I'm not religious, but I suspect that underlying reasoning will sound familiar to many in D/s.
It's a Daily Task.
As a sub, doing a task when it's easy is, well, easy. Doing it when it's difficult, that takes much more. Finding the time, making the effort when others wouldn't, trusting there is a reason even when it hasn't been explained, is an act of devotion by a submissive for her Dominant. A demonstration that she trusts him to guide her, trusts his judgement, and will always go that extra bit that no one else would to please him.
While it's vital a Dom shouldn't overburden his sub with demands – particularly when she's busy – small, quick and simple tasks, like incidental photographs, help to maintain their connection and help her to show care and thought of him. That he's important to her. That's important to him.
Being an attentive Dominant isn't easy, either. It's a huge commitment of time, understanding and care. There are those I know who do it very well, nevertheless. They don't achieve this because it's easy or shirk away from it because their work or other aspects of their lives get in the way. They find a way, and they do because if it was easy, it wouldn't be as fulfilling. If they stopped just because they were busy at work, it wouldn't show a great deal of care, and it would show their sub how important she is to them: not very!
There's always time in the day for a call and response, and in that phrase that goes around in memes on twitter:
You always find time for the things you care about.
If it's important, it's never too difficult
Mutual fulfilment is what D/s is at its core. If you can't find a moment in time for quick simple tasks, what are you doing? Whatever is happening in your work or your life… There's always a minute to show you care.
*incidentally, there is one good reason for ordering kosher food: it's always better on an aeroplane than the regular stuff if you're unfortunate enough to be in economy class.

Judge derails Donald Sterling's effort to block L.A. Clippers sale
Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling cannot block the sale of his basketball team by his estranged wife, a probate judge ruled on Monday.
Superior Court Judge Michael Levanas said that Sterling was too mentally incapacitated, paving the way for his estranged wife, Shelly, to complete the previously arranged $2 billion sale to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer (MSFT).
Donald Sterling had been banned from the NBA for life and fined $2.5 million after making racist comments in April, which were leaked to TMZ.com. Soon after, his wife claimed that he had been ruled mentally incompetent by doctors and that she therefore had the sole authority to sell the team.
Levanas, the judge, announced his decision after nearly two hours of closing arguments on Monday, according to the L.A. Times. The trail took several weeks during which Donald Sterling called his estranged wife a "pig" and also hurled disparaging remarks against his own lawyers and those representing his wife.
Max Blecher, Donald Sterling's attorney, said that Shelly Sterling was guilty of setting up an "invidious scheme to strip Donald Sterling of his ownership rights of the Clippers." Pierce O'Donnell, an attorney for Shelly Sterling, called her husband's arguments "for the media, not for the court."
It's unclear whether Donald Sterling will continue to fight the sale. But his wife can proceed with the deal in the meantime.
Technically, the judge's ruling is an "oral tentative statement," according to an L.A. Times report, and the judge will review objections ahead of a written ruling. But it's clearly a big loss for Sterling.
The NBA has said that if a sale was not made by September 15, it would strip the Sterlings of their ownership.

Obviously the election has drowned out every other topic, including economics and markets. That's why you could be forgiven for not noticing a Wall Street Journal survey of economists, which found that the odds of a recession occurring within the next four years at nearly 60 percent. Before you add recession to your list of worries, you should know that this is hardly a bold prediction. The Business Cycle Dating Committee of the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) is the official arbiter of when recessions begin and end. Despite the oft-referred to rule of thumb that a recession occurs when there are two consecutive quarters of economic contraction, the Dating Committee does not have a fixed definition of a recession. In this way, defining a recession is like defining pornography: you know it when you see it!
The Committee examines and compares the behavior of various measures of broad activity: real GDP, real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales, in order to determine the highs (peaks) and lows (toughs) of the business cycle. "A recession is a period between a peak and a trough…during a recession, a significant decline in economic activity spreads across the economy and can last from a few months to more than a year."
According to NBER, the so-called Great Recession began in December 2007 and lasted until June 2009. At 18 months, it was the longest of any recession since World War II. Previously the longest postwar recessions were those of 1973-75 and 1981-82, both of which lasted 16 months. Since 1945, there have been eleven recessions, which lasted an average of 11.1 months.
So what should we make of the current prediction of a recession within the next four years? The current expansion, which began in July 2009, has lasted 87 months through September. That may seem like a long time, but it is not crazy. The previous three expansions (1982-1990, 1991-2001 and 2001-2007) lasted 92, 120 and 73 months respectively. That said, making a prediction that we could see a recession over the next four years does not seem particularly like going out on a limb.
And yet, economists are not particularly good at predicting when a recession might actually occur. In his book The Signal and the Noise: Why So Many Predictions Fail--but Some Don't, Nate Silver interviewed Jan Hatzius, the chief economist of Goldman Sachs, to find out why so many economic predictions miss the mark. "Nobody has a clue. It's hugely difficult to forecast the business cycle. Understanding an organism as complex as the economy is very hard." The reason it is so hard is that statistics can be noisy, the economy is always changing and the data on which forecasts are based can be flawed.

Hello friend!
I'm starting a brand new newsletter, and I'd love to share a copy with you.
And as an added gift, I'll send you a chapter from my book when you sign up.
I address this question using only the thoughts and opinions I've heard from others or that I remember from Bible classes in years past. I haven't done any research or in-depth study into the creation of the canon, the New Testament. I am speaking from a place of absolute no scholarly authority. I am simply speaking from a place of conversations with friends. In high school, I read Lee Strobel's The Case for Christ, so I remember bits and pieces of that and in history class we briefly talked about how there were several books that…

Sixteen Cedars Zeke The Blue
aka Zekester Man
November 5, 1998 -- July 13, 2008
Zeke was a silly, goofy dog whose biggest goal in life was to be a good ol' dawg. Zeke wasn't the brightest bulb by Aussie standards or by any standards, but he was a beloved member of my family and doggy pack. One couldn't ask for a sweeter dog. We tried obedience in his youth. We also tried agility. Zeke just never could quite comprehend why it was important to sit or stay or jump over things so I let him retire from those unsavory doings and lead the simple life he preferred.
Zeke came to me from my neighbor who owned his mother and grandmother. Roobie and Charlie were his aunt and uncle on his mother's side. Tux is a full brother. Emily is his half sister and Jackson is his half brother so he really was part of the family.
~ Rest well, sweet Zeke ~

Finding mice in your home or business can be very distressing. Mice are known to spread disease as they search for food and shelter. This poses great health risks particularly in kitchens or where children might play. The natural and constant gnawing habit of mice means they can also cause damage to the property, furnishings and equipment. There are some ways to eliminate mice. The most common ones are trapping and poisons. Using various poisons gives rise to serious damage to underground and surface water sources. They also may cause human poisoning or death in pets through eating them wrongly. Hence, it is very remarkable for researchers to produce nontoxic mice repellent.
Mouse powder-like pesticide is used for murdering mice and various species of them. It is widely used in fields, gardens and places for storing food and perishable materials.
This product is nontoxic mouse repellent containing spherical-like nanoparticles. The average size of particles is 48 nm.
High surface to volume ratio and consequently high chemical reactivity of nano-scale particles cause further efficiency of the product.
Tear the marked edge of the package and put it in mouse path. Repeat this act for 3 days. Avoid mixing this product with other foods. Store the product away from moisture and put it in a dry place. It could be usable for 2 and 4 weeks in humid and dry areas, respectively.
Use gloves as using this product. Although it is not toxic, avoid swallowing and touching that.
It should be noted that there are limited investigations on safety of nanoproducts because of their new history.

It has been obvious for years that this is a loose end in the Microsoft strategy - nobody doing any meaningful support or development. Charts that don't work, a web app that a six-grader could surpass with an old copy of Lotus 1-2-3. Please stop acting as if this site is anything special, let it die so people can put the data and effort into something that gives them a payback.

Periodontal FAQ 6
Questions relating to Periodontal Disease:
1. What is periodontal disease?
2. What are the symptoms of periodontal disease?
3. Why, all of a sudden, is my dentist sending me to a periodontist?
4. How is periodontal infection treated?
5. Does periodontal treatment hurt?
6. Why must I start treatment right away?
Periodontal infection grows in "bursts of activity". It is likely that you have been referred to us because your general dentist has noticed an increase in infection activity.
This infection eats away at the bone that supports your teeth (leading to tooth loss). If not treated, there can be a number of consequences. Please see the Periodontal section for a list of these.

Finish This
So I was looking in the archives from my old Blog. Which I still have but I just don't post anything there at all. I found this one and I thought hmmm lets do this again and see if my answers have changed any. So here we go..
Finish This:
When I open up the fridge I always hope I find anything. I open the Pantry more so than the fridge though. #Truth
this answer did not change...
My favorite article of clothing is my dresses, the maxi dresses at that. They are so comfortable, with some flip flops. Most comfy thing ever.
Last week I was really pissed when ummm I don't think I was really pissed off at much. Except my job. But that hasn't changed in months.
One thing nobody really understands about me is my love for romantic movies. I am a sucker for these movies. I am a huge romance junkie.
One thing I don't understand is why people don't listen to employees . Again this goes back to my job. But I will not go into detail about that.
The world would be a better place if people were a little nicer.. in general. I will never understand the whole being an asshole thing.
If I had a million dollars I'd pay off all of our debt and then we would buy a house and then I would get a new car.. whoa.. big dreamer there..
If I could change one thing about myself, it would be to have more confidence in myself. I have a slight issue with confidence.
Something that can always make me happy is my life. I have an incredible life. Of course there are some flaws, but who doesn't have flaws. I have an incredible husband who takes care of me, who treats me with respect, who loves me for me and would never change a thing about me. I have an incredible family. Oh and big ole glass of wine or cup of coffee
Something I will never Blog about is the stuff that I wouldn't want the World Wide Web to know.
If I could go anywhere I would go to Paris or Europe. Just seeing that culture would be amazing. My parents went to Europe and they loved it.
If I were an animal I would be a puppy or a horse. Why a horse. I have know idea I guess because they are just beautiful with no care in the world. A puppy because they are just adorable. You can't ever say no to them.
A Job I have always wanted is something in Law. Like an Attorney or a Detective. I have always found the law fascinating.
My idea of a perfect day would be just a day to sleep in until at least 9 yea I cannot sleep in passed 9 ever. Enjoying a day on a boat or at a lake with a lovely cookout or a Dranky Drink with the people I love the most.
How would you finish these sentences?
Xoxo, E

Halloween Cinder Cake
A Halloween Cinder Cake made with crunchy Halloween Oreos topped with creamy orange sherbet, whipped cream, Oreo cookies and Halloween sprinkles. This dessert is super easy to make and a fun Halloween treat for all ages.
My sweet neighbor and good friend, Betty, often talks about recipes with me. One day when I was visiting her, she told me about a Cinder Cake that her family enjoys. I'd never had Cinder Cake, so I came home and Googled it.
Also included in this post is a Recipe Round Up. I've joined a fun group of bloggers to put together a roundup of recipes on the first day of every month. This month we're sharing Halloween Dessert Recipes.
It's not really a cake so much as an easy-to-make ice cream dessert. It's made with a layer of whipped cream on top of vanilla ice cream, and more Oreos on top of the whipped cream layer.
I decided since it's Halloween I would use orange sherbet instead of vanilla ice cream to make a fun black and orange Halloween dessert. I topped the dessert with chopped up Halloween Oreos and orange and black Halloween sprinkles.
Dreyers had an Orange Cream sherbet that had swirls of vanilla ice cream in the orange sherbet, which gave the ice cream a nice creamsicle flavor. But if you can't find the Orange Cream sherbet, orange sherbet works well too.
First, you crush the Oreo cookies to make the crust. I used a family size package of Halloween Oreos and crushed about 2/3's of the package. Reserving 1/3 of the Oreos for decoration the top.
Next you spread a layer of the softened orange sherbet ice cream. You want the sherbet to be soft but not melted. I gently stir the ice cream in a large bowl to mix the melty outside with the firmer ice cream in the middle.
Then you whip your cream and spread it on top of the sherbet. Finish the top with chopped Oreo cookies and Halloween sprinkles.
It's a fun combination of textures and flavors. My husband said it tasted like a creamsicle with chocolate and crunchy Oreos. My grandson said it was like a chocolate orange.
This cake also works well with any ice cream or Oreo flavor—mix and match to suit the season!
Note: Serve with hot fudge or chocolate sauce, optional

Biometrics applications can now be fitted to drones
Amazon's filing of a patent on voice-control "pocket drone" technology demonstrates that the company is seeking to develop the work it has done in voice recognition applications and virtual assistant further by bringing it into the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) market.
Voice commands for drones have been in development for years. Even in 2010, hobbyists were able to adapt drones to take simple directional commands to navigate pre-mapped areas. Now, basic systems are sold for under $100 online and in stores. And it is possible to modify Amazon Echo through a ground station to deliver commands to commercially sold quadcopters, as demonstrated by a proof-of-concept initiative on hackster.io in February using the Alexa virtual assistant.
Advances in speech recognition and machine learning technology now make personalized voice commands possible, though getting it down to pick up a single person's distinct diction is still quite a challenge for many commercial models.
Though these are still hobbyist models, developing voice recognition protocols for machines that can carry a few kilograms of weight over several miles would have real applications for Amazon's delivery drones. It would help automate the process of getting a package from point A to point B, for one, and also help the drone confirm it has reached the right person – a hi-tech version of today's postal sign upon receipt options.
Amazon has already filed multiple patents for delivery drones. Many of the potential applications for drone use in this regard, though, "are not legally covered" yet, according to Android Headlines, and will depend on US regulators' decisions in the coming years. Amazon's newest patent focuses in particular on the public safety aspects of the technology, with the drones having applications in law enforcement, search and rescue, and aiding the handicapped.
Image recognition for semi-autonomous drone flight is already being worked on. On board facial-recognition technology for drones is also being developed. Researchers from Taiwan's Academia Sinica concluded out of a 2015 study that, "present [day] face recognition technologies are able to perform adequately on drones" even though there are still several technological hurdles to overcome, including issues with camera angles, cloud computing, and machine learning.
Pairing sounds with images is the next big leap in this field. Amazon's proposed drone will come with such functions, according to the patent. Biometrics companies such as the STC Group, Smartvid.io, and Facebanx already advertise authentication and viewing services that work with visual and auditory inputs combined.

Since its inception 60 years ago, the Heart and Stroke Foundation has raised $1.35 billion for research.
When we caught up with Tom McAllister, Chief Operating Officer of the Ontario branch of the Heart and Stroke Foundation, at the Polo for Heart event held in Richmond Hill last month, cardiovascular disease was still a top killer of Canadians.
According to McAllister, Canadians need to be more aware of the symptoms of cardiovascular disease, especially Canadian women.
"Women present with different symptoms, so the number of times they're having a heart attack is underdiagnosed," said McAllister.
They are also working hard to connect with communities at greater risk for heart disease and stroke, like native Canadians, South Asians, and people of African descent, who have higher rates of these diseases than other ethnic groups.
Another problem is that people are not calling 911 quickly enough but are driving to the hospital instead.
McAllister explained that there is a "golden window" of around four hours after a stroke during which drugs can be administered, even by ambulance staff, which can greatly improve a patient's recovery from a heart attack or stroke.
Aside from a healthy diet, exercise is also important. Polo is not only great exercise for the horses, it is great for the players too.
The Toronto Polo Club was founded by the Sifton family in the 1960s. Derek Sifton, son of the club's founder Col. Michael Sifton, is an accomplished polo player who not only played on two teams during the event but sits on its executive committee as well.
According to Sifton Jr., keeping the event very formal and traditional has been the key to its continued success.
Both the public and VIP corporate donors are attracted to come back each year to participate in the traditional atmosphere. From drinking champagne and stomping the divots (bits of grass on the field that the horses rip up with their hooves) to dressing in fancy summer dresses with large decorative hats, it's a pretty posh weekend.
Polo for Heart has been organized by the Toronto Polo Club for over 34 years and has raised a total of more than $5 million so far, making it the largest charity polo event in Canada.
The proceeds of Polo for Heart this year will be split between the Heart and Stroke Foundation's Centre for Stroke Recovery and the Southlake Regional Health Centre.
Neila Poscente, President and CEO of the Southlake Regional Health Centre Foundation, explained that Southlake has only one MRI scanner.
"For a hospital our size in a community that's growing, our wait time for non-urgent MRIs can be up to 100 days," she explained.
Southlake serves the over one million residents of York Region. The health centre is half way to its $16 million goal and are hoping to purchase a second, more advanced MRI scanner.
