The ceremony of cancellation of the illustrated stamped envelope dedicated to the 95th anniversary of Belarusbank was held today at the head office of the bank in Minsk.
To this event the Belarusian post Belpochta prepared a stamped envelope with the image of Belarusbank headquarters and the anniversary logo on it. The exclusive envelope with A-lettered stamp totaled 20 thousand printed copies. The nominal value of this stamp is equal to the tariff for sending a simple letter weighing up to 20 grams within Belarus.
Today the Ministry of Communications and Informatization of the Republic of Belarus issues a special postmark "Belarusbank, 95 Years". The Chairman of the Board of Belarusbank Viktar Ananich and the Deputy Minister of Communications and Informatization Natalia Gordeyenko cancelled the envelope with this mark.
Reference to the ancient philatelic tradition is a reminder to the public about a bright anniversary in the bank's history.
"20 thousand envelopes with a view of Belarusbank head office will travel to 192 countries, all partners of Belarus post in the Universal Postal Union. This means that people in these countries will receive information about our bank, thereby the brand of the oldest financial institution will become even more recognizable," said the Chairman of the Board of Belarusbank Viktar Ananich. "Having made its way from a thrift bank to the largest domestic credit and financial institution, Belarusbank has earned the reputation of a dynamically developing, reliable, recognizable commercial brand, an undisputed market leader, an established participant of the global financial processes. I am confident that the current year will be remembered by our customers for new products, quality services and notable events."
Deputy Minister of Communications and Informatization of Belarus Natalia Gordeenko wished Belarusbank well-being, and emphasized that the anniversary of the financial institution is a significant event for the Belarusian post. "We are implementing a lot of joint projects. Issue of the stamped envelope will be a gift not only to philatelists, but to all employees of the bank", she said.
Special cancellations have been practiced in the world since 1862. In the USSR, a special cancellation, dedicated to the Day of Philately, was first held on August 19, 1922.
The cancelled envelope was transferred to the exposition of the bank's museum.

Minor injuries and whiplash for couple after car catches fire – 14/04/2017
A couple, who survived what could have been a fatal accident when their car caught fire, were taken to hospital for minor injuries and whiplash.
The accident, which happened on the Chelmsford bound carriageway of the A12, saw a 41-year-old man from and a 39-year-old woman, both from Clapton, smash into the back of a Toyota Landcruiser in their Ford Fiesta. The couple were very lucky to escape just with minor injuries and whiplash after their car burst into flames. The man suffered a broken leg and chest injuries while the woman sustained head injuries and whiplash.
Fireman on hand testified to the lucky escape. Ingatestone fire station sub-officer Calvin Goody, who attended the incident, said: "It was a bad crash. They were very lucky. "We quite easily could have been talking about something else this morning."
Three men travelling in the Toyota Landcruiser suffered minor whiplash injuries. The 38, 55 and 63-year-old men all came from Ipswich.
A 34-year-old from Chelmsford travelling in a Vauxhall Vectra which was hit by the shunted Toyota also suffered minor injuries.
Whiplash is a common injury in cases where a number of cars shunt into the back of each other after an incident. The symptoms of whiplash are usually minor but in some cases can involve long term suffering.

On a recent trip to Wisconsin, I stopped by Loop Liquors in Chicago for a collaborative engagement with Ted Kontos. He is the owner of Loop Liquors and his place is totally awesome. How many liquor stores would let you open and drink the wines you purchase? Next time you're in Chicago please visit Loop Liquors at 1610 W Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL 60622. The selection is modest but well worth it
What we had
Among the many bottles we feature that afternoon, this Malbec was the clear winner. The point of the tasting was to showcase the best wines in the store under $20.00; this bottle really delivered. A fairly elegant expression of Malbec from Valle de Uco in Mendoza, Argentina. The wine opens up with violet and cherry aromas, underscored by a touch of sandalwood. Upon tasting the wine, there is an unresolved tension between its juiciness and its acidity. This tension however, is nicely framed by soft velvety tannins. Perfect for "Empanadas de Carne" estilo pampero, or meat turnover Argentinian style.

Pressure Reduction and Noise Control
Pressure Reduction and Noise Control
10 February 2015
Control of steam and water in a process plant is critical to ensure safe and efficient operation. Mitech designs and supplies severe service control valves for steam and water applications, such as steam letdown stations, desuperheater control valves, feedwater control valves and more. Steam is normally produced in industrial boilers at high pressures and temperatures, since in this superheated condition it carries more energy and results in more efficient production of power in the turbine. This high pressure also allows the steam to be transported around the plant in smaller lines with less heat loss. For use in a process plant, both the pressure and the temperature have to be reduced. A letdown station solves this problem. It comprises a pressure reducing valve and the temperature reducing apparatus. The solution is to use a valve with a special trim that is engineered to solve the complex requirement of both pressure reduction and noise control. A Mitech energy dissipating disk stack that fits into the company's range of standard Globe valves is one of the best methods to achieve this. The pressure is dropped across many stages. The disk stack combines the concept of many restrictions in series (along each passageway) with multiple paths in parallel (several passageways in each disk and many disks in a stack). This enables the valve to handle low flow rates as well as the maximum flows. One or more diffuser plates may be installed downstream of the valve to create back-pressure to enable a smaller valve to be used. Reducing the pressure of the superheated steam does very little to reduce the temperature. To reduce the temperature of the steam a desuperheater is utilised to add water to the superheated steam. To vaporise the water a large amount of energy is required to overcome the latent heat. The high temperature steam provides this. The result is an increased flow of steam at a reduced temperature. By varying the amount of water added, the temperature can be controlled.

I have been sick for over a year and a half, and it has been an adventure. It has been one of the hardest seasons of my life, and yet also the one in which I have grown the most. It has been something God has used to really shape me and mold me in many big and little ways. I recently started a journal entry of mine something like this:
'Sickness does not define me… But wait, it has!'
God has definitely used the sickness to mold, shape, and define me and who I am. But it is not my identity. It is not who I am. Who I am is an eternal daughter of God to Whom this season of sickness is but a passing shadow in the vast span of eternity. The things in our life are often what God uses to shape us, and that is okay. It is good and healthy. However we must not let the circumstance become who we are. No matter what your situation is, good or bad, it doesn't change who you are as a child of God if you've accepted Christ as your savior. You are an ambassador of the royal family to which you belong. I am not Sara, the sick girl. Rather, I'm Sara, the child of God. If I constantly think of myself falsely as 'Sara the sick girl,' it will be so easy to become depressed and stuck in the mindset that sickness is who I am and who I will always be. God is so much bigger than that! The sickness is only the tool that he has used, the fire that refines the silver.
In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. (1 Peter 1:6-7 NIV)
When we abide in God as who we are, we will not crumble when trials come. But God will be able to use them to refine us… we won't have to be broken first. This is true even when everything's going right. If we depend on the good circumstances we are in to provide our faith and joy, when the storms come, as they always do, we will be broken. The love and joy that comes from God, however, can never be broken. (1 Corinthians 13:13)
Your Sister in Christ,

Before publishing an effect you should make it as small as possible. Smaller effects take less time to load on devices, so people are more likely to see them and share them.
The maximum export sizes is 2MB for effects for modern mobiles, and 12MB when opened on a device. For older devices, they'll need to be as small as possible to work well.
To make your effect smaller, you can:
There are also some advanced compression controls you can try.
Compressing in Spark AR Studio will not affect your original files, so you can do it again and again.
To test the appearance and performance of your effects after applying compression, mirror your effect using the Spark AR Player app.
Make sure the textures and objects you're planning to use meet our technical guidelines.
All assets listed in the Assets panel will be in the bundle of your finished effect - even if they're no longer included in the effect itself.
To see which assets are in use go to Project then Show Asset Summary. You'll see a screen that looks like this:
Assets that are being used in the effect have a tick next to them. If assets are referenced in a script, they won't be shown as In use.
If there are any gaps in the table, click Compress All. This will compress your effects and tell you the size of all your assets.
In this effect we'd remove Old Texture. We'd select the asset and then click the bin icon in the bottom left of the asset panel:
Spark AR Studio has default global compression settings for textures. You can override these settings for individual textures that are taking up more space than they need to.
Find which textures are taking up a lot of space in the the Asset Summary. You'll see the sizes of assets across the 3 bundles Spark AR Studio generates:
You'll see both downloaded and unpacked bundles. Downloaded bundles are the zipped up files that get downloaded to a device. Unpacked bundles are the unpacked files, ready to be displayed.
Test different compression settings for the textures that will have the most impact on the size of your effect. In this example, we could experiment with compressing boater_01_var10.
A texture's compression settings are shown in the Inspector panel. You can change these settings, and check how your effect looks using the Spark AR Player app.
Select from:
The texture's file size for both downloaded and unpacked bundles, for each of the 3 bundles Spark AR Studio produces:
Change the Image size to scale down the texture, which can help bring its size down.
Limit the size of the texture. You can't make the size of the texture bigger than the original, unless you're stretching an image to make it square.
The following compression options are available for iOS devices:
Depending on the type of texture you're compressing, some methods will look better than others. Selecting PVRTC_V1 (Automatic) will choose the best method for your texture depending on whether you have an Alpha channel or not.
The highest accuracy setting usually results in better quality effects, but it will take longer to calculate the compression. We recommend using Highest, because it doesn't effect the file size.
Check this box to help remove banding in some images, especially those with gradients.
Change the size of the texture.
The following compression options are available for Android devices:
Depending on the type of texture you're compressing, some methods will look better than others. Selecting ETC2 (Automatic) will choose the best method for your texture, depending on whether you have an Alpha channel or not.
The following options are available for this compression scheme:
The highest accuracy setting usually results in better quality effects, but it will take longer to calculate the compression. For basic bundles, accuracy settings effect file size.
The Simulator will show how effects look on different devices after changing compression settings. Choose a device by selecting Device Type from the options in the center of the toolbar:
We've selected Samsung Galaxy S9, a newer Android. The Simulator will automatically update to show how the texture will look:
In our effect, the texture's image size is set to 1024. This means it looks very detailed:
In the Inspector panel we set the Max Size to 512 instead. We can see how it looks in in the Simulator with the new compression setting:
The effect still looks good, so we'd continue to preview and override the image size for each bundle.
You could use another program to compress these types of files.
Reduce the polygon count of 3D objects in a 3rd party package.
Many effects still look good at lower frame rates. To reduce the number of frames:
Audio size isn't currently included in the asset summary, but make sure files are 32kbps mono AAC files.
The global compression settings are set to Smart Compression by default. This aims to choose the best type of compression for each texture, for all device types.
If you haven't changed the settings of individual textures, any textures and assets in your effect will have these settings applied to them. To manually override global compression settings:
Manual compression options are the same as those available for individual textures. We recommend leaving these options as they are and reducing the size of individual assets instead, but changing them can be useful if an effect is intended for lower end devices or areas of low connectivity.
For example:
If you change default compression settings, you'll keep any changes you've made to individual textures. Uncheck the box next next to Override in the Inspector panel to remove changes to individual textures.
For ETC2 formats, select Punch Through Alpha. This is half the size of an ETC2_RGBA - so you'll need to test it to make sure your effect looks okay.
If a texture with an alpha channel isn't appearing as expected, check you're using RGBA, rather than RGB.
For PVR formats, you can try overriding large textures to 2BPP rather than 4BPP formats. Use Highest Accuracy, as 2BPP textures can look poor.
For Basic bundles, set the format to PNG and Quality to Medium or Lowest. This will reduce the PNG to a 256-color variant which should save space, but loose some quality. Set Method to Best to get the tightest compression.

It is of utmost importance that you enjoy and experience all the events in your life. Lack of funds should not be a factor causing hindrance in your way of leading a perfect life in Singapore. Hence, it is advised that you use several financial products offered by different banks in Singapore and live a live that you always wanted to.

Car LoanIf you want your dream wheels parked in your garage, availing a car loan is the best option you have. The upfront money to buy the car is provided by the bank at low and attractive interest rates.
Why to Choose BankBazaar.sg for Loans in Singapore

Why subscribe to a loan product that charges a higher interest rate (whilst offering nothing unique, or special) when other, more pocket friendly options are available, just as easily.

Lifetime Learning Credit
Taxpayers may be eligible to claim a nonrefundable Lifetime Learning Credit against their federal income taxes. The Lifetime Learning Credit may be claimed for the qualified tuition and related expenses of the students in the taxpayer's family (i.e. the taxpayer, the taxpayer's spouse, or an eligible dependent) who are enrolled in eligible educational institutions. The amount that may be claimed as a credit is equal to 20 percent of the taxpayer's first $10,000 of out-of-pocket qualified tuition and related expenses for all the students in the family.
If the taxpayer is claiming an American Opportunity Credit for a particular student, none of that student's expenses for that year may be applied toward the Lifetime Learning Credit. The amount a taxpayer may claim as a Lifetime Learning Credit is gradually reduced for taxpayers who have modified adjusted gross income between $50,000 ($100,000 for joint filers) and $60,000 ($120,000 for joint filers). Taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income over $60,000 ($120,000 for joint filers) may not claim a Lifetime Learning Credit. The modified adjusted gross income limitation is indexed for inflation. The definition of modified adjusted gross income is the same as it is for purposes of the American Opportunity Credit. See www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p970.pdf for additional information.

Access Status
MetadataShow full item record
PURPOSE: A Perth metropolitan hospital group standardized changes to nasogastric tube placement, including removal of the "whoosh test" and litmus paper and introduction of pH testing. DESIGN AND METHODS: Two audits were conducted: bedside data collection at a pediatric hospital and a point-prevalence audit across seven hospitals. RESULTS: Aspirate was obtained for 97% of all tests and pH was < or = 5.5 for 84%, validating the practice changes. However, patients on continuous feeds and/or receiving acid-inhibiting medications had multiple pH testing fails. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Nasogastric tube placement continues to present a challenge for those high-risk patients on continuous feeds and/or receiving acid-inhibiting medications.
