Companies settle asbestos lawsuit mid trial
A lawsuit filed by the widow of a former auto mechanic for Rohm & Haas, a subsidiary of Dow Chemical Company, against her deceased husband's employer and dozens of companies alleging the companies exposed him to asbestos-containing products that caused his lethal cancer diagnosis, was settled during trial in a Philadelphia court. The details of the settlement were not disclosed.
Ruth E. Mendick, representing her deceased husband James Leonard Mendick, sued companies like Rohm & Haas, General Electric, ABP Induction, Ingersoll-Rand Company and Honeywell International accusing the companies of negligence and outrageous conduct, strict liability, conspiracy, breach of warranty and wrongful death and damages.
According to the lawsuit, from 1957 to 1958 Mr. Mendick performed auto repairs and worked with asbestos-contaminated brake shoes for Gulf Oil Gas Station in South Fork. From 1959 to 1997, he worked for Rohm & Haas in the Bristol and Croydon plants. During that time, he worked with pipe fitters, insulators, and carpenters and was exposed to asbestos fibers while working with thermal insulation on piping, kettles, boilers, valves, pumps, turbines, gaskets and packing.
Mr. Mendick also performed brake maintenance on his own vehicles and remodeled his own residences using asbestos-containing joint compound products.
On June 13, 2016, Mr. Mendick was diagnosed with mesothelioma, a rare but deadly form of cancer that develops in the lining of tissue surrounding organs like the lungs and abdomen. Mesothelioma is caused by asbestos exposure and can take decades to develop. Mrs. Mendick's lawsuit claimed her husband's disease was a direct result of working with asbestos.

England discard bags top award
NEWS: England exile Danny Cipriani was named the Rugby Players' Association player of the year for 2019 on Wednesday following an excellent debut season at Gloucester.
The 31-year-old flyhalf topped a poll of his fellow professionals at English clubs, coming out at the head of a shortlist that included Exeter wing Santiago Cordero, Sale scrumhalf Faf De Klerk, Northampton scrumhalf Cobus Reinach and Exeter centre Henry Slade.
In the process Cipriani became only the third person after Jonny Wilkinson and Christian Wade, to win both this honour and the equivalent young player award.
A Master of His Craft 💥
The RPA Players' Player of the Year | 2019 Winner | @DannyCipriani87 | @gloucesterrugby 🍒
Voted the Players' best in 2018/19, you deserve this Cips, congratulations! #ForOurPlayers pic.twitter.com/PzOuuRceTi
— The RPA (@theRPA) May 8, 2019
Cipriani's award came nine months after he was fined for assault and resisting arrest at a Jersey nightclub during a pre-season tour.
Yet for all his sparkling play this term with the Cherry and Whites, the undeniably talented Cipriani has won just 16 England caps since making his debut back in 2008.
Several England coaches have lacked faith in Cipriani, with current Red Rose boss Eddie Jones preferring Owen Farrell and George Ford at flyhalf.
But it is still possible the Australian could yet include Cipriani in his England squad for this year's World Cup in Japan, which starts in September.
"It's very humbling to be named the winner of such a prestigious and special award," said Cipriani, who joined Gloucester after a second spell at Wasps – the club where he made his name.
"Rugby is the ultimate team sport and every day we work exceptionally hard together as a club to improve every aspect of our performance," he added after steering Gloucester into their first Premiership play-off appearance since 2011.
"I would like to thank my fellow professionals for the wonderful recognition and to everyone who has continued to support me along this journey."
Gloucester enjoyed further success at the Twickenham ceremony when 22-year-old wing Ollie Thorley won the young player of the year award.

Former Middlesex Assistant District Attorney Charged With Trading Information For Drugs
Jan 08, 2015 05:16PM
By Bill Gilman
A grand jury has indicted former Middlesex County Assistant District Attorney Stephen Gilpatric on corruption charges connected to an addiction to prescription pain medication.
Gilpatric, 35, is expected to be arraigned Friday morning in Woburn Superior Court, a building he has tried hundreds of cases in between November 2007 to October 2014. He faces charges of unlawful gratuity, unlawfully communicating criminal offender record information, and receiving unlawful compensation.
Prosecutors allege Gilpatric had an addiction to oxycodone that cost him hundreds of dollars a week. He is accused of giving confidential information he had access to as an ADA, to his drug dealer in exchange for oxycodone pills. These exchanges took place in October, 2011, according to Attorney General Martha Coakley.
"Our employees hold important positions of public trust and we take immediate action when that trust may have been violated," said Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan. "Upon being informed about the investigation by the Attorney General's Office in late October 2014, we suspended Stephen Gilpatric without pay and took measures to secure his computer and office area. As of Nov. 11, Gilpatric was no longer employed by this office."
The information that allegedly changed hands included a Board of Probation record, a photograph, a police report, and other personal information. Coakley said Gilpatric also gave his drug dealer an organizational chart of a drug ring and a criminal record, hoping to get additional pills
According to Ryan, none of the cases Gilpatric was prosecuting or had prosecuted were compromised by his alleged actions, as the information he provided was unrelated to his personal work.
"The cases Gilpatric had been handling are now being prosecuted by other Assistant District Attorneys in our office," said Ryan. "The Attorney General's Office has told us that the information Gilpatric allegedly provided to outside sources was unrelated to any criminal cases he was investigating or prosecuting and that the alleged criminal conduct did not occur after 2011."
Ryan also used the Gilpatric's fall from grace as an example of the damaged done by substance abuse that that addiction impacts all demographics.
"Clearly, the activities that Gilpatric is alleged to have engaged in would be a violation of confidentiality laws," she said. "That being said, the unfortunate situation is that substance abuse affects people in all walks of life and sadly, as we have seen in many cases, illegal drug use often leads people to make bad decisions."

Hermes (ヘルメス, Herumesu)? is a Persona in the series.
Hermes, the youngest of the Twelve Olympians, is the messenger of the gods in the ancient Greece. He is the offspring of Zeus and Maia, and also recognized as the patron of travelers, commerce, athletics, literature and poets, sometimes of healing and invention, even of thieves and liars. He was well worshiped by the ancient Greeks and apparently his figure appeared in many of their myths. As an infant, he created the first lyre, which he gifted to Apollo as compensation for stealing immortal cattle, who in return gave him the caduceus, a herald staff adorned with wings and entwined by two serpents, nowadays often used to symbolize medicine. His main task is to aid travelers in their journey, also to guide the dead to the Underworld, where he could enter or leave without any hindrance. He is also known to wear a winged cap and winged sandals. Hermes is the analogue of the Roman god, Mercurius.

- Persona 3 / FES / Portable: Magician Arcana
- Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth: Magician Arcana
- Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth: Magician Arcana
- Shin Megami Tensei Trading Card: Card Summoner: Deity Race
Persona 2: Innocent SinEdit
Hermes is the initial Persona of Jun Kurosu, the one that assumedly causes Jun to be transferred to Kasugayama High School after his continual manifestations caused serious injuries to students who bullied Jun. Hermes' appearance follow the original god's pattern with the Caduceus (modeled after a rocket ship) held in his right hand, but the wings adorned on his cap and shoes are replaced by mechanically fashioned rockets. The rocket/plane motifs in his design are likely a nod to Jun's favorite book, The Little Prince. He is of the Fortune Arcana and his power is involved with the wind element, capable of reflecting any kind of attacks related to it and nullifies dark, although he has a weakness against lightning. Once the player has completed the Aquarius Temple scenario, Hermes can mutate at Rank 8, allowing Igor to transfigure Hermes into Chronos in the Velvet Room.
Persona 3Edit
Hermes returns in Persona 3 as Junpei Iori's Initial Persona, first appearing after the Dark Hour manages to exist in front of him, causing him to scream in terror. The portrayal of Hermes now lacks of his Caduceus, but the wings on the head and the huge ones attached to his lower body part still represents the god's origin. His skills and abilities deploy fire based attacks and also physical related ones. This version also resists fire well but has a weakness against direct wind attacks, in contrary to his prior incarnation. Another change is that Hermes is now a Persona of the Magician Arcana, an Arcana which fits more accurately to the original god's symbolism of athleticism, activity, and cunning behavior.

Just unlocked the Nelson but its not in my port?
Wrink_E_Dink posted a topic in Game Support and Bug ReportingI just completed the Azur Lane directives that unlock the Nelson but it isn't in my port... I haven't seen this happen before. Am I missing something?
Hood or Nelson?
kittycatgamer27 posted a topic in Player Tech Tree and Ship SuggestionsHello everyone, I'm here to ask for another premium suggestion. I can spend about $7 more and get hood or get Nelson I would like your suggestions. What each ship does best, and what one is better? I also have that anime Hood commander if that changes anything. Thanks-Kitty
HMS Nelson credit earning
Plesiosaurus123 posted a topic in British BattleshipsI cant find anything on the topic so ill just post here. I know its not a Missouri or anything, but does nelson have a higher credit earning multiplier than other premiums in its tier range?
Just got Nelson and man do I love it! when do we get Rodney?
BladedPheonix posted a topic in BattleshipsSo I just got the Nelson about a week ago and have been playing in between grinding my Kitkaze and Ognevoi. and man this ship is fun! been averaging around 80k dmg per match! anyways, I was wondering though. Will we be getting Nelson's sister ship Rodney? I'd love to have 2 of these ships! until next time, I'll C'ya on the Seas!
Fun Post: Ensign Cthulhu and the Great Seal-Potato Battleship Race
Ensign_Cthulhu posted a topic in General Game DiscussionSo after recent spectacular Free XP windfalls, I find myself in the following interesting position: 1) Iron Duke - 33,303 XP with all modules researched. XP to go: 16,697. 2) Nelson - 358,979 Free XP accumulated. XP to go: 17,021. They are neck and neck. I know that if I simply ground the Iron Duke, I would reach the XP goal first. However, I have five Spring Sky camos left, as well as numerous Equal Speed Charlie London, Red Dragon, Ouroboros, Hydra and Papa Papa flags, on a 200% First Win weekend, and that changes things. I also have more than enough Stars and Stripes, Victory Salute, Storm Wind and Frosty Fir Tree camos to get me through; all of these specifically boost both XP and Free XP, and I have read and re-read @Edgecase's FXP-maximising guide. I have 27 This Is Your day camos as well, and although they do not boost XP, I can load XP-boosting flags on for that and hope for the currently very high First Win Bonus to produce results. I'll post my working later, perhaps, but I'm doing the sums now and even without a first-win bonus the potential results are looking pretty good. If I play well enough, should run out of Spring Sky and get into both the Nelson and the Queen Elizabeth at about the same time. If the math stacks up right, I may even get into the Nelson first. It's a neat coincidence, because I'll have a premium British battleship just in time to retrain the Iron Duke's captain (currently at ten skill points with one unused, 10,541 out of 69,000). Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen! Which ship do you think will be ready first? And how many games do you think this Seal-Potato will need?
Battleship help
Bullpies322 posted a topic in British BattleshipsI was playing my Nelson today and I don't know how to improve but I felt that the cruisers sitting broadside in front of me were safer than I was. I fired what looked like good shots but I only end up doing about 7k dmg per salvo. I aim at the waterline and hope for the best. It is so frustrating because I know if I was in those cruisers I would have been obliterated. I feel like this happens more often than not in my other battleships too. I ended up doing 35k dmg before they burned me down. I don't know what to do.

How do I set up UPS control?
The Genesis RX and RX2 use the NUT software to interface with UPS battery backups. Comprehensive documentation can be found at the NUT project page.
These are the steps to configure it in v4:
- Log into the web GUI
- Go to the "System" heading
- On the right side, click "UPS Configuration"
- Select your vendor and model. (Very often, this will be "APC" and "Smart-UPS USB")
- Enable "Master"
- Enter its own IP address as "Master IP"
- Keep "Shutdown Delay" at the default
- "Apply" the settings
The settings can also be checked from the CLI with
rdcli param ups show.
In the event of a power failure:
- Power is lost
- All systems will initially wait (in the event that power is restored).
- During this time, using
rdcli param ups showwill indeed show the system is on battery power.
- UPS itself detects it has reached a critical level (typically around 10%), it notifies the attached system, which is the "Master" in our case.
- "Master" notifies all "slave" systems to shut down. They will respect their own "Shutdown delay"
- "Master" shuts down in the number of seconds defined

Snoopy is headed to Taoyuan, Taiwan, in a Postcrossing Forum Snoopy/Peanuts tag trade. I am nearly out of the postcards I purchased at the Charlie Brown Cafe in Bangkok, Thailand, and I have never seen Peanuts cards for sale here in the U.S.–so I guess my time participating in this trade is coming to an end! Hey, fellow U.S. people: do YOU ever see Snoopy/Peanuts postcards for sale? I need a resource!
Astro Boy is headed for Port Coquitlam, Canada, to a swap-bot member with whom I've been matched several times. This time, it's for a "not your usual postcard trade," and I think this card certainly fits!
One more "not your usual postcard," this time the tiger, which is going to a swap-bot member in Kwai Chung, Hong Kong.
All three cards are weighed down with a similar array of stamps:

US "ally" Turkey bombs Kurds opposed to the Islamic StateThe old Cold War web of alliances is badly outdated. Rapidly re-Islamizing Turkey is no friend of the United States. But to admit the patently obvious reality would be "Islamophobic." Turkey wants to take advantage of the chaos to reestablish its own caliphate, and for that goal the Islamic State may be useful.
"Mideast crisis widens as Turkey bombs Kurdish militants," by Daren Butler and Humeyra Pamuk, Reuters, October 14, 2014 (thanks to Jerk Chicken):
(Reuters) – War against Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq threatened on Tuesday to unravel the delicate peace in neighbouring Turkey after the Turkish air force bombed Kurdish fighters furious over Ankara's refusal to help protect their kin in Syria.
Turkey's banned PKK Kurdish militant group accused Ankara of violating a two-year-old cease-fire with the air strikes, on the eve of a deadline set by the group's jailed leader to salvage a peace process aimed at halting a three-decades-long insurgency.
At least 35 people were killed in riots last week when members of Turkey's 15-million-strong Kurdish minority rose up in anger at the government for refusing to help defend the Syrian border town of Kobani from an Islamic State assault.
"For the first time in nearly two years, an air operation was carried out against our forces by the occupying Turkish Republic army," the PKK said. "These attacks against two guerrilla bases at Daglica violated the ceasefire," the PKK said, referring to an area near the border with Iraq.
The unrest in Turkey raised serious concerns that a peace process between Turkey and its Kurds could be in danger of collapse, a new source of turmoil in a region consumed by Iraqi and Syrian civil wars and an international campaign against Islamic State fighters.
U.S. President Barack Obama, who ordered a bombing campaign against Islamic State fighters that started in August, was to discuss the strategy on Tuesday with military leaders from 20 countries, including Turkey, Arab states and Western allies.
Washington has faced the difficult task of building a coalition to intervene in Syria and Iraq, two countries with complex multi-sided civil wars in which most of the nations of the Middle East have enemies and clients on the ground.
In particular, U.S. officials have expressed frustration at Turkey's refusal to help them fight against Islamic State. Washington has said Turkey has agreed to let it strike from Turkish air base; Ankara says this is still under discussion.
NATO-member Turkey has refused to join the coalition unless it also confronts Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a demand that Washington, which flies its air missions over Syria without objection from Assad, has so far rejected….

Our favorite Dj Diamond Kuts , the hottest in Philly talks about how she discovered Lil Uzi, and how after she helped put him on he up and left to got to Atlanta and went ghost on her. Lil Uzi did the shady thing artists do, and stunted on the ones that brought them to the position to be able to blow up.
Dj Diamond Kuts is one of the most humble, and successful DJ's that we know, so it hurts us to hear she was in a dark place after being fronted on by someone she helped. She has done so much in the industry from producing Nicki Minaj's "Stupid Ho" to touring with Nicki Minaj, and getting drops from President Barack Obama, this girl is BAD!

For beet pulp with a water content of more than 60%, it needs to be pretreated by a squeeze dewatering machine, and a screw extrusion dewatering machine or a belt dewatering machine can be used. The dewatering machine has low energy consumption, large production capacity and good dewatering capacity, and is completely applicable to some projects that do not require high water content or beet pulp processing technology.
However, for beet pulp that needs to be preserved for a long period of time, deep dewatering is required, that is, high temperature drying is carried out by a beet pulp dryer, so that the final water content is about 13%, and the water retention requirement for a longer period of time is achieved. Beet slag dryer mainly includes heat source device, drum dryer, exhaust gas treatment equipment, loading machine and unloading machine, and related balers.
Flexibility and safety are ensured by the beet pulp dewatering or the dryer after the beet pulp is used for feeding or blending. After the dehydration and drying, the beet pulp is operated by a mixing mixer, a granulator, a cooling machine, a filling machine and the like to complete the dehydration, drying and granulation process of the beet pulp, and the beet residue mixed feed is prepared.
Zhengzhou Dingli supplies complete beet pulp dewatering and drying granulation equipment, the price is fair, the operation is good for many years, the reputation is good, the project case is many, the actual combat experience is strong, the technical research and development team is mature, the manufacturer service is comprehensive, more guarantee,make every effort to create a high-quality sugar beet residue dewatering and drying granulation production line.

Work was great today. Very busy. I've been incorporating some of my newly learned techniques and see a subtle but improved difference in my work. I feel motivated to be better. That's the great thing about going to classes or shows: they motivate you. I had a caramel latte during work today. Caffeine's a great motivator too. Most of you know I stay far away from caffeine on work days. Partway through the day I looked at my client list and knew I'd be fine with a cup. I wonder how late I'll be up tonight?
I went for a long walk after dinner. I've done that a few times lately and it felt so good. I love to look at people's yards and gardens while I walk. I'm pretty nosy. Have I mentioned how I like to walk on recycling day so I can see who recycles and who doesn't? It's also interesting to look at the packaging left at the curb. You can see who has a new TV, mixer, weedwacker, etc...Weird, I know. I can't help it.
I used my garden cart to bring up 8 bags of mulch. Even with the cart it's hard to push 2 bags uphill at a time. I wonder how many bags my front garden will take? My mom has plans for tomorrow so I'll have the day at home to take care of this big job. I'll be hurting tomorrow night.
Well, I guess I've done enough rambling for one night. Hope it wasn't boring. Sometimes it just is.

The funnest day to go for a walk around the neighborhood is the 1st trash day after Christmas. You get to see what everybody got for Christmas! LOL
- Moohaa said...
Nah, it wasn't boring at all. Your insight into your neighbors is something I now realize I do as well. Looking at this and that of theirs and wondering about them.
I'm glad you finally have a cooperative wheel barrow and make sure you take breaks to get through your work tomorrow.
I hope you are sleeping soundly now!

My sister and I like Garage Sale Day...then you get to see what kind of weird stuff your neighbors buy.
Mulch time...UGH. Last year I paid some big, strapping boys I call "The Brain Trust" (not because of their combined IQ, believe me) to haul and spread my mulch. I took them to lunch at an all you can eat pizza place. Best money I spent all season!
Have a happy day, Cheryl!

Too funny you get to see what the neighbors have bought, I love to look at neighhbors lawns too. Funny in my neighborhood once someone works on their yard it's like a competition. Have a wonderful day!

Girl, you just might be as nosey as I am! I love to walk and look at what other people have out, at their gardens, etc. My hands down FAVORITE time to walk is Thanksgiving evening. We always eat around 4 - so then I'm ready for an evening walk to walk it all off - and I can peer into other people's windows and see what they're doing.
Wish i was out spreading mulch with you. I hope you enjoy your day on your own today.
- Brad said...
Take it easy on the mulching. Remember then pain you were in after power washing. You are our little over achiever!
- Happyone said...
If you keep walking, before you know it you'll be addicted to it like me. :-)
Glad you got your garden cart. I love mine.
- Gin said...
I couldn't get along without my garden cart! Altho we're thinking of getting a truckload of mulch this year. I love the bagged stuff, but it's getting sooooo expensive. Yikes!
- Andrew said...
I smiled when you wrote you were nosey like that. I think we all are. I watch my next door neighbors driving all day and wonder how they afford the gas. So, you are not alone. I hope you're not too tired today. Your such a busybody Cheryl! LOL I could never keep up with you. Take care friend, and rest tonight.

GREENSBORO, N.C. – The Wesleyan women's swimming and diving team wrapped up the 2018-19 season on the final day of the 2019 NCAA Division III Women's Swimming & Diving Championship on Saturday. The team came in 25th overall in a field of 50.The meet was highlighted by Caroline Murphy's second-straight All-American honor in the 100-yard backstroke on Friday and the 400-yard medley relay team's (Murphy, Mengmeng Gibbs, Maela Whitcomb and Grace Middleton) 15th-place All-American Honorable Mention accolade on Thursday.
On the final day of competition, the 400-yard freestyle relay (Murphy, Gibbs, Sophia Antonio and Middleton) came in 24th-place, touching the wall in 3:30.88. Murphy also competed in the 100-yard freestyle, clocking in at 52.15, while O'Halloran touched the wall in 2:10.16 in the 200-yard backstroke.

But there are two other rescue horses here. One is named Judge and one is named Zezz. They're both Arabians, but they're ok for silly Arabs. Apparently, they lived at a farm with 56 other horses. But like me, they didn't have grass or enough food. And Zezz and Judge were stallions, and they were left in stalls for MONTHS. In fact, they had to stand on top of 3-4 feet of manure in their stalls. And the latches on their stalls rusted shut. And no one brought them food or got them out. One day, one of the outside horses, a red mare, died because she had gone too long without food. Do you know what happened then? Well, the next day Jennifer and the Bluebonnet Family showed up with some sheriff's deputies, a police officer, and another rescue called True Blue Animal Rescue and took all of those horses out of there! They had to bust the rust lose from the stall doors to free Zezz, Judge and many of their buddies. But they got out!
A few weeks later, Zezz and Judge moved here to Jennifer's house. They told me they were super-skinny and hungry, too. But Jennifer and her husband took good care of them, and they're looking much better. They're not completely done with rehabilitation yet, but Judge just went up for adoption. I tell you, he's a little nervous about this. He likes it here and worries that someplace else won't feed him well. But Jennifer keeps telling him he's going to find his perfect person, someone who will love him and train him and feed him and ride him. I sure hope so!
Hey, do you know of anyone looking for an Arab? He's a gelding now, and he's bay. He thinks he's real handsome with his white legs. He's proud that he knows how to carry a saddle but Jennifer is having to teach him about a bridle. He doesn't have a blog, but he has a webpage if you want to see him.
Waiting for dinner,
Tex from Bluebonnet

So last file listed above waits for 174 seconds before it starts to play. Video that is recorded has accurate time displayed in it and I can see that recording does actually start at the time indicated by the file name, but the negative start value which must be written into the mp4 file causes the player to wait for that time before it starts playing. The effect seems to take several hours of recording to become apparent, once its started to produce incorrect start times the start time gradually becomes more negative with occasional large jumps. I'm currently running a recording with verbose logs turned on so hope to catch ffmpegs output showing pts, pts_time, dts and dts_time when it starts to fail and will update with that once I get it. Currently the start times on the files its recorded are showing 0 though so it might not be for a few hours. The code's a bit complex for me to get my head round but I do see that some rounding seems to be going on which might be responsible for this, maybe I am asking too much to record continuously for days. But I thought it was worth mentioning in case it is an actual bug.
Patches should be submitted to the ffmpeg-devel mailing list and not this bug tracker.

- Resolution set to invalid
- Status changed from new to closed
After more investigation I found that the input streams were diverging, so this is probably not a bug, theres probably a option to reset the differences between the streams. So closing it as invalid.

Do you have a floppy eared dog that lives to stick his head out of the car window? A dog prone to ear infections? What about a dog who loves to swim or hike? If so, you may be interested to know that these events all have the potential to lead to the development of an Aural Hematoma. However, armed with knowledge and a simple plan you can prevent them.
An Aural Hematoma is a painful, abnormal accumulation of blood on the flap of the ear between the skin and cartilage, sometimes accompanied by discoloration and extreme swelling and pain. This can occur in both cats and dogs, but is more common in dogs with floppy ears. Hematomas are brought on by many types of irritation in the ear: Infections, foxtails, allergies, yeast, ear mites, or even debris from something as innocuous as sticking her head out of the car window. The injury doesn't come from the irritation, but the scratching and head shaking the animal does in response to it.
If your dog has a hematoma it is important to talk to your vet. There are two main procedures they are likely to discuss with you. The most successful being surgical removal and suturing the area where the hematoma was to encourage scar tissue development, thus reducing the chance of recurrence. The other options are for the veterinarian to drain it, however this only works about 25% of the time because it will likely fill up with blood again.
The simplest and most cost effective way to deal with an Aural Hematoma is to never get it in the first place. "Prevention is the best medicine." If your dog suffers from yeasty ears, swims often, or gets ear infections, it's beneficial to clean their ears once a week with a cotton ball damp with a mixture of one part water and one part raw organic apple cider vinegar. If you hike with your furry friend, it's important to check for foxtails not only in the ears, but also between their toes and paw pads. If your dog has a penchant for enjoying the breeze on car rides make sure to only have the window cracked open enough for him to stick his muzzle out.

Create Static Electricity
Create Static Electricity
Things needed:
2 inflated balloons
Aluminum Can
Woolen fabric
Rub the balloons, one by one, against the woolen fabric and then try moving the balloons close to each other. You will see that the balloons tend to move away from each other.
Put an aluminum can on a table. Rub one of the balloons against the woolen fabric or your hair and then, bring it close to the aluminum can. You will notice that the aluminum can rolls toward it and follows the balloon even if it is moved away from the can.
How does this work?
Rubbing the balloon against the woolen fabric or hair, creates static electricity. It is a process whereby negatively charged electrons jump into positively charged ones.
In the first step, both the balloons were negatively charged on being rubbed against the woolen fabric. Therefore, they were repelling each other. This proves that similar poles repel each other.
In the second step, the aluminum can is drawn to the negatively charged balloon as the area near it becomes positively charged. This proves that opposite charges attract.

President Donald Trump tried to give himself a new nickname Tuesday on Twitter.
In an all-caps tweet, he called himself "the lone warrior," complete with an exclamation point on the end.
One of his sons agreed: Eric Trump wrote on Twitter, "you truly are" but added, "it's why America loves and appreciated you."
Trump's "lone warrior" declaration comes amid allegations he knew for months about a Russian military unit paying bounties to Afghan militants for killing American soldiers. Trump invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to a G-7 meeting after he'd reportedly been informed.
Trump has also fashioned himself as a warrior against the coronavirus, in March declaring himself a "wartime president" due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
But with the virus surging, former Vice President Joe Biden said on Tuesday that Trump "has surrendered, waved the white flag and left the battlefield."
Trump also avoided military service during the Vietnam War via medical deferments for bone spurs.
The president's critics on Twitter were quick to remind of him that history:

Trump seems to be calling himself "The Lone Warrior," which doesn't make a lot of sense.— Nick Jack Pappas (@Pappiness) June 30, 2020
1. He isn't a warrior. He dodged the war with bone spurs.
2. Maybe he wants to be like "The Lone Ranger," but the Lone Ranger at least wore a f***ing mask.

Pickup trucks have enjoyed great popularity throughout their history and are likely to maintain this status well into the future. This popularity exists for many reasons including superior interior space and eye-opening performance metrics. Here at Ross Motor Company, we enjoy helping our customers to identify metrics that help them make more informed buying choices.
Many people associate roomy vehicle interiors with SUVs and minivans, but many modern full size pickup trucks offer more room than either of these vehicle styles. Not only do many pickups offer roomy interior comfort, they also offer ample truck bed space and healthy towing capacities.
The size of mid and full-size pickup trucks is no barrier to high performance. Since many pickups are made to haul heavy loads, most pickup truck styles offer drivers plenty of extra power under the hood. The extra engine size translates to easy acceleration, higher speeds, and greater hauling capacities.

Brandon Sterling never believed in fate. A man of his own making, he firmly credits his successes to hard work. How else could you explain his rise from the poorest of backgrounds in South Boston to becoming one of the most successful entrepreneurs in Boston? Living in luxury in his big house on Beacon Street, it never mattered to him that increasing success meant increased isolation. After all, when you have everything, everyone else always wants something. But when he comes home to find a gorgeous redhead sitting on his windowsill, the idea of love at first sight suddenly seems like the most plausible thing in the world…if only the one person he wants to give his heart to would actually take it.
Together, Skylar and Brandon have the kind of passion few hope to find, but things keep getting in their way. Between school, business, her father's gambling troubles and Brandon's history of personal struggle, will their complicated lives prevent them from making it work together? Or, as they both suspect somewhere deep down, have they finally met their match in each other's stubborn hearts?

Friday of Fall Break at Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City
This is the long-delayed ending to the photo documentary of my Fall break in Beijing – Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. I guess you could say I saved the best for last, although I had just as good of a time at the Olympic Park and Liulichang. The one thing Tiananmen and the Forbidden City had over everything I've done in Beijing, except for maybe the Great Wall, was the shear size of it. It was almost overwhelming, and not just because of the crowds.
I purposely didn't include a lot of background info on either the Forbidden City or Tiananmen. It's readily available on Wikipedia, and this will help keep the word count down. Enjoy the pictures.
Tiānānmén 天安门
Tiananmen Square (1989 wasn't it's brightest moment) is the the third largest city square in the world. As far as I was concerned, if you weren't staring at the Chinese Imperial City across the street, everything in and around the square would make you think you were in Soviet Russia.
The characters in Tiānānmén 天安门 (referring to the actual gate) mean "heaven", "peace", and "gate" respectively, and it's usually translated as "The Gate of Heavenly Peace". While it's the first gate between Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, Tiananmen is actually outside the City, and it's the Meridian Gate (built into the city walls) which is the gate into the city.
My Tiananmen experience was above and beyond interesting. For some reason, I thought it was going to be a relaxing walk before the crowds in the Forbidden City, but that definitely wasn't true. The Square itself is full of tour groups, vacationers, and locals alike. Everyone is trying to get the perfect picture with Mao in the background (just like I did), and nobody wants to make room.
While in the Square, someone asked to take a picture with me. Although creepy, I said yes – may not have been the best move. Within 1 minute, there was actually a small line of 4 or 5 Chinese people who wanted to take a picture with me. There was no reason other than they saw someone else taking a picture with me, probably thought I was a famous American, and wanted to hop on the bandwagon. Every now and then on the streets someone will try and speak English with me, but this was the first time this type of thing ever happened to me. My wallet wasn't stolen, and in some weird way I may have made those peoples' day, so it's all good.
The Forbidden City 故宫
The Forbidden City was home to the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming Dynasty (1368 – 1644) to the end of the Qing Dynasty (1644 – 1912). Begun in 1406, construction lasted 15 years, and required more than a million workers. It's the world's largest surviving palace complex and covers 178 acres, consisting of 980 surviving buildings with 9,999 bays of rooms. Word on the street is that in Imperial times, unauthorized entry by common people would be punishable by death.
The Three Great Halls: Hall of Supreme Harmony, Hall of Central Harmony, And Hall of Preserving Harmony
The Three Great Halls are definitely the highlight of the tour. Each with a different function, they were used for ceremonial occasions, as the Emperors personal prep areas, official meeting areas, and imperial examinations. All three Great Halls line up in sequence on a marble terrace. Some of the halls and palaces have been restored and repainted, some haven't. This way, you can still enjoy their authenticity while seeing what they would've looked like hundreds of years ago. Be on your toes when trying to get a look inside, it gets a little rowdy.
Inside The Halls
The inside of the halls and palaces leave a bit to the imagination. You'll see two things: a clean floor, and a well decorated throne – the Dragon throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony probably being the most well known. As cool as the thrones are, I was a little disappointed with the lack of anything else inside. I understand though, keeping artifacts out in the open air isn't the best way to preserve them. In a few of the halls further down the sequence, like the Palace of Earthly Tranquility – the residence of the Empress – the windows and openings are covered in plexiglass and the insides contain many more pieces.
78 Acres And Every Inch In Detail
One thing that didn't disappoint was the amount of detail you see everywhere you look. It's hard to explain in words, so your best bet is to check out the album towards the end of the post.
Panoramic View From The Top Of Jingshan Park
This is the view looking southwards from the Pavilion of Everlasting Spring, which is the highest point in Jingshan Park. The middle hill on which the Pavilion sits was made with the earth removed to create the moat that surrounds the Forbidden City. I had read before my visit that this spot offers the best views of the Forbidden City and Beijing, so although tired and ready to head back to CET, I manned up and made it to the top. It only costs 2 RMB (a little more than US 30 cents) to get into the park, and the climb takes about 15 minutes – totally worth it.
And that's it. As far as the Forbidden City is concerned, it's wise to take an entire day to walk through it. I only really saw the main halls and palaces, but there are museums, stores and exhibits full of all of the artifacts from its 500 year history. I would say go from South to North, starting at the Front Gate of Tiananmen Square, and essentially walking in a straight line all the way up to the top of Jingshan Park.

Court Stenographer: Job Duties, Occupational Outlook and Education Prerequisites
A court stenographer, also known as a court reporter, transcribes legal proceedings word-for-word, creating a written documentation of the event. Education will vary from on-the-job training in some instances to certificate programs from vocational or technical schools in other areas of reporting.
What You Need to Know
Stenographers create and file written records of legal events, such as trials, depositions, meetings, or other judicial proceedings. Because of the importance placed on accuracy in legal documentation, these records are transcribed verbatim. Court stenographers will require at least an associate's degree or certificate, as well as state-specific licensing.
|Degree Options
|Associate's degree in court reporting or certificate in court reporting
|Licensing Options
|Licensing required in most states; as of 2018, 22 states accept Registered Professional Reporter (RPR) certification through the National Court Reporters Association (NCRA)
|Mean Annual Salary (2017)
|$60,060 (court reporters)
|Job Outlook (2016-2026)
|3% (court reporters)
Sources: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics; National Court Reporters Association (NCRA)
What Are the Job Duties?
In addition to creating the written records, stenographers may also be responsible for researching and organizing information to be put in the official record. In some cases, stenographers assist with courtroom administrative procedures. Some stenographers use their skills outside the courtroom to work in closed captioning for television and films. Some specific duties of a court stenographer include:
- Attending hearings, proceedings and depositions
- Capturing all spoken words, gestures and audible sounds verbatim
- Reviewing notes and researching technical terminology
- Reading and editing transcripts for accuracy
- Providing transcripts and recordings to all parties involved in a proceeding
What Training Do I Need?
Training varies based on the type of stenography one wishes to perform. In the case of basic electronic stenographers and transcribers, skills may be learned on the job. To become a court stenographer requires less than one year of training at a vocational or technical school, such as through a certificate program. If one wishes to become a real-time stenographer, it may take up to two years or longer to train for this role via an associate's degree program.
There are approximately 70 educational programs available that have been certified by the National Court Reporters Association (NCRA). As of 2018, the NCRA website states that the certification exam is used by 22 states as the licensing exam required in order to practice professional stenography.
What is the Occupational Outlook?
Demand for court stenographers is expected to grow at a rate of 3% between 2016 and 2026 according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS, www.bls.gov). This represents a slower than average growth rate. The BLS projects the most growth specifically in the areas of media captioning, as well as communication access real-time translation (CART) services for the elderly. There were 15,220 court stenographers employed in 2017, according to the BLS. The mean annual salary for court stenographers as of May of 2017 was $60,060, as stated by the BLS.

A revolution for digital currency to go into mainstream
HONG KONG, April 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — LEOxCHANGE, which serves as the first online exchange of the world's second largest digital currency LEOCoin, was officially launched today. Members are able to make more direct, instant and secure transactions with LEOCoin, with no intermediary charging commission. Before, LEOCoin was launched officially in London on the 25th March 2015 at the iconic Tower of London, and was announced that it would be recognised by other digital currency exchanges. The developers are also looking to expand its on and offline merchant base around the world to accept LEOCoin for goods and services ranging from vinyl records and bicycles to real estate, to build a strong supporting community for the new currency. In its initial phases, around 100,000 entrepreneurs have already adopted it in anticipation of its market debut, marking LEOCoin as the second largest digital currency after Bitcoin.
Co-founders, Dan Andersson and Atif Kamran, introduced the launching of LEOcoin as a digital revolution.
Dan Andersson, Co-Founder of LEOCoin, described the launch of LEOCoin today as an important chapter in the evolution of the global digital currency market. "SMEs find transaction fees a concern when doing business abroad. With our transparent and straightforward operating system, we are confident to gain trust from users and thus help boost their scope for business."
The design of LEOCoin aims for the world's entrepreneurs as well as private individuals. By applying a new generation of technology, LEOCoin surpasses other digital currencies in terms of usability and accessibility. In addition, a high level encryption system keeps track of all transactions and records, to assure users their trading environment and personal data is kept safe. Dan anticipated within five years that individuals and casual users will have increased exponentially, as ordinary consumers start to see the benefits of privacy and accessibility offered by LEOCoin, whether trading at home or abroad.
The long-term sustainability is also one of the product features. LEOCoin has committed to releasing a maximum of 28,800 LEOCoins per day for a limited period of 99 years, equating to a total of 1bn LEOCoins, after which no more will be generated. Under the foundation of a finite number of LEOCoins, the value will increase robustly as demand increases.
Given the negative publicity many of the digital currencies have had, Dan felt no surprise on the backlash of scepticism, and attributed the issue to the system flaw of being complicated, inaccessible and not user friendly. "The industry needs to do much more to establish its credibility. This is a very dynamic and fast moving area in financial services and we are aiming to bring digital currency into the mainstream."
About Dan Andersson
Dan has been self-employed since the age of 21 and has a background in management and training consultancy, much gained within the direct selling industry worldwide. He is a Master Practitioner Trainer and facilitator of Neuro Linguistic Programming.
After working with a range of businesses from banks and professional services to large retailers including Toyota and DHL, Dan returned to the direct selling industry when a UK Telecoms company asked him to join them as European Sales Director. From there he joined one of the largest Chinese companies where he was responsible for the 24 countries in Europe, as well as Israel, Canada and USA.
Prior to founding LEOTraining, Dan joined an entrepreneurial start-up, and from a base of just 300 distributors, grew it to 13 million accounts through an innovative hybrid of social networking and direct selling. In early 2012, he elected to leave the business to pursue his own vision and founded LEOTraining with Atif Kamran.
About LEO
LEO stands for Learning Enterprises Organisation Ltd and offers entrepreneurship and leadership training through e-tutoring, e-learning and live seminars. Headquartered in the UK, it has subsidiaries in nine countries and members in 120 countries.
LEOCoin was initially introduced as a demonstration tool to illustrate how digital currencies work as part of the LEO training programme. In May 2014, as they had already successfully created the concept, Dan and Atif decided to formalise LEOCoin as an actual digital currency which acted as a type of 'bonus' for successfully completing training modules.
The decision to launch LEOCoin on an exchange and make it available to everyone came from the desire to make digital currencies more mainstream, and to allow a much greater number of people to benefit from increased security and privacy, as well as reduced or non-existent transaction fees currently charged by banks and other finance sources.
