Boeing will pay about $144,500 each to the families of the the two fatal Boeing 737 Max air crashes. The money comes from a $50m financial assistance fund, which Boeing announced in July.
The fund has started accepting claims, which must be submitted before 2020. The fund, overseen by Washington lawyers Ken Feinberg and Camille S. Biros, will begin accepting claims from family members immediately.
Families who submit claims will not have to waive their right to file separate lawsuits against the firm, said the fund's administrator Feinberg, who has overseen the distribution of money for victims of the September 11 attacks, among other funds.
The 737 Max has been grounded since March, as investigators evaluate its safety following fatal crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia, which claimed 346 lives.
In July, Boeing had pledged $100m to families and communities affected by the crashes. The company later said half would be reserved for direct payments to families, with the other half set aside for education and development programmes in affected communities.
In a statement, Boeing chief executive Dennis Muilenberg called the opening of the fund to family claims an "important step" in the firm's efforts to help relatives of the people who died in the Boeing 737 Max 8 crashes.
According to a Reuters report, nearly 100 lawsuits have been filed against Boeing by at least a dozen law firms representing families of the Ethiopian Airlines crash victims, who came from 35 different countries, including nine U.S. citizens and 19 Canadians. The lawsuits assert that Boeing defectively designed the automated flight control system.

Service Dog Trainers & Staff
Dan, Founder
Dan Warren is the Founder and President of Service Dogs by SDWR. He believes that individuals who struggle with invisible disabilities often will benefit from having a canine companion in their lives to enhance a quality of life, provide hope, independence, and peace of mind. It is Dan's personal goal to bring hope and peace until a cure is found for these disabilities and does believe, "Until there's a cure… There's a dog!"
Gabby, Client Services
Hello there! My name is Gabby.
I am a part of the Client Services team. Currently I live in Rixeyville, VA. I have been in the Client Services field for a long time and I have a passion for helping people. I have travelled all over the Eastern U.S. working with a vast variety of people, together we solve problems and reach goals. I am happy to be a part of the team here at SDWR, helping our Ambassadors in the process of finding a "relief" for themselves or their loved ones who suffer with invisible disabilities.
Erin, Training Director
I have 2 dogs that I have had since they were 8 weeks old, a 7-year-old Rottweiler and a 7-year-old Bullmastiff. Both dogs have had extensive obedience training and both received their Canine Good Citizenship through the AKC and were registered Therapy Dogs with Therapy Dog International up till this current year when I retired them due to their ages. Also, I performed private obedience training with friends, family, and acquaintances. I started working at Petsmart in Norfolk, VA as a Pet Trainer for over a year. There I assisted families with basic obedience training as well as assisting several people with training their service dogs. After learning of the opportunity at Service Dogs by SDWR in 2012, I welcomed the opportunity to train dogs and help families at the same time. I have now worked with Service Dogs by SDWR for over 3.5 years and plan to continue for a long time which is why I am looking to relocate to this area. I have worked training dogs full time for the past 5.5 years and prior to that worked part time training dogs and worked full time in social work and counseling as I have my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology.
Ivan, Trainer
Hi, I'm Ivan and I decided to work at SDWR because I no longer have a desire to stay in sales and want to return to working with dogs full time. I host a podcast where I interview highly regarded dog trainers. I used to own a dog walking route small business in NYC that I sold. I am experienced with handling groups of dogs of various sizes, breeds, temperaments and drives. I have studied Service Dog Training, Agility, Schutzhund, Bite Work, Nose Work, Lure Coursing, Fly Ball, Barn Hunting, Rode a Sulky, etc.
Marcus, Kennel Master
I have been working with dogs for years and I do it because it is my passion. I have always loved and had a passion for dogs and animals since I was a child. I have read, watched, learned as much as possible on dog training and dog breeds in general. I am here to make sure all of the dogs that stay at the SDWR facilities are cared for, exercised, vaccinated, and loved. I treat the dogs like they are my own during their stay here.
SDWR Chapter Managers
April, North Alabama Chapter Manager
My name is April Reno I am 38 years old and the mom of two children with type one diabetes. I was a substitute teacher for two years where I worked with special needs children. I am a very active supporter of the Daring To Defeat Diabetes organization. I started my journey with SDWR in May 2014, when I decided to receive a DAD (diabetic alert dog) for my children. I am currently North Alabama Chapter Manager. My children and I are proud owners of Miracle our diabetic alert dog. My favorite part of working with SDWR is meeting other families with invisible disabilities. I love hearing their stories and I am always ready to share mine.
Michelle, Southern California Chapter Manager
I am Michelle. I have owned dogs all of my life and I love helping people! I have had my own Diabetic Alert Dog, SaveHer, for over four years. I live in the Southern California region.
Tracy, Kentucky Chapter Manager
Tracy began her career in the field of Social Work as a Case Manager and Therapist to the chronically mentally ill at her community's mental health facility for 20 years. It wasn't until her daughter's diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes in 2008 did things change for her. She found SDWR after researching ways to help maintain her daughter's new diagnosis and shortly thereafter obtained a Diabetic Alert Dog for her daughter. "I was amazed at these dogs and the life-saving abilities they possess. I knew I had to be a part of this organization." She began working for SDWR in 2013 in support services and joined the Chapter Manager team shortly afterward. "I love seeing how these dogs change lives! I know what our Diabetic Alert Dog has done for my family and am excited to see how they can improve the lives of others as well." Being a Chapter Manager for Tracy helps provide support to other families in KY who are also seeking a Service Dog. "My family grew immensely when I joined the SDWR team!"
Ben, Michigan Chapter Manager
Ben started his journey with S.D.W.R in April 2013 when he signed on to receive a Diabetic Alert Dog. He was diagnosed with T1D at the age of 12. After hours of research, and searching for the right organization to get a D.A.D from he decided upon S.D.W.R due to his initial conversation with Dan, his enthusiasm and passion for the cause were contagious. Since receiving Max – Ben's D.A.D, he has been training non-stop, and have had the pleasure and blessing of being amazed each and every day by his abilities. Ben's bond with Max is such a beautiful gift to the family, we simply cannot imagine our life without him.
In October 2015 Ben was excited to announce to family and friends that he was given an opportunity to share in his passion for S.D.W.R by becoming the Michigan Chapter Manager of this wonderful organization! He believes as Dan does that "Until there is a cure, there is a Dog". Ben and his family have witnessed firsthand the life saving and life giving a gift that a service dog has to offer and are very excited, blessed and grateful to have the opportunity to walk beside families as they start on the same journey he did in 2013 and advocate for such a stellar organization as S.D.W.R.
Chris and Carrie, Oklahoma Chapter Manager
Chris and Carrie live in Enid, OK with their two children Tripp (5) and Quinn(3). Jake joined the family in January 2016 to serve as an autism service dog for Tripp who was diagnosed at age 4 with autism. Jake and the team from SDWR made such a positive impact on the entire family's lifestyle that they jumped on board as chapter managers for the Oklahoma area.
Donna, Tennessee Chapter Manager
In May of 2011, our world changed forever when our son Nathaniel, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Being an over-protective mom I started researching ways to help him manage his diabetes and keep our sanity. After several searches and many phone calls to different places I decided to make the call to SDWR. I was terrified of making the call as I had already experienced disappointing calls but from the moment Dan answered the phone my fears were put to rest and I knew that this man and this company had true compassion and understood what we as a family were going through. We signed up the next day and started fundraising for our miracle with 4 paws. In September of 2011 our wonder dog, Malachi arrives at our home and alerted to a low with in 15 mins. now years laterNathaniel has been diagnosed with several medical problems including Autism and Sensory Processing to Central Nervous Tremors. I never dreamed that Malachi would help in these areas of Nathaniel's life but he has. From turning on the lights to calming him when he can no longer process the world around him. Malachi has proven himself time and time again, the same goes for Dan he total stands behind his word and has gone above and beyond when we needed him. Being a Chapter Manager for Tennessee means not only do I get to tell more people about how wonderful Malachi is but how I can help them get the miracle dog they so desperately need. Who wouldn't want to help other parents feel the same relief that we feel every night when we close our eyes. Becoming an SDWR family member was the happiest thing diabetes ever gave to us.
Micah, Arkansas Chapter Manager
We love our DAD Noodle. He is apart of our family. Our daughter Raylee was diagnosed November 11,2014 T1D. Our lives changed dramatically. We were scared confused sad angry and many more emotions. But with time and support, we found SDWR and they have been a life saver and now family

Okra is a really great veggie that tastes exquisite when paired with chicken. It is the perfect hearty fall dish to enjoy on a cozy Sunday night. Okra is low in calories, high in dietary fiber and contains many vitamins, including A, B, C, E, and K. Okra nutrition provides many health benefits, such as improving heart health, eyesight and cholesterol levels. Studies have suggested that eating okra may help lower blood sugar in cases of diabetes.

- 1 carrot, cut in cubes
- 2 medium tomatoes, grated
- 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- 1/4 tsp chili flakes

- STEP 3. Preheat oven to 400 F.
- STEP 4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, sauté the onions, garlic, and carrots for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the grated tomatoes, okra, parsley, turmeric, chili flakes and black pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes and set aside.

We just did our first live webcast from Pete's Saloon in Elmsford, NY during their weekly Karaoke Night - it was just a test, but the darn thing worked! WE WENT LIVE FROM PETE'S Y'ALL!!!
We chose Justin.tv as a provider because they were inexpensive. Justin.tv is a website, one of many, that can host your tv channel - and now the home of flymusicman television. They offer a free version of the service - but your viewers will have to sit through a commercial before they can watch your channel - the good news is, the "pro" version is only 9.99 per month and gets rid of all those nasty commercials. It was very easy to set this up and I actually upgraded to the pro version at Pete's after the test was successful.
Using Wirecast really enhances what you can do with a simple streaming service like Justin.tv, it allows you to "broadcast" live while switching between multiple cameras, add graphic overlays, chroma keys and roll in video clips, just like a live television channel would. (For example, we hope to be "rolling in" show opens, commercials for the venues, special events and promotional "calls-to-action" to entice our viewers to come to the bar we are broadcasting from!) There are also very easy ways to hook up wireless cameras with the pro version (just takes money) and you can even broadcast in HD. By using additional (free) software and a second machine, you can even have other people from remote locations, like perhaps, another bar across town, show up on your video feed choices via the internet - WOW! It also allows you to record your stream to a hard drive for on-demand distribution. Think of the corporate, trade show, education, training events, etc. uses for all this! AMAZING!
Wirecast is truly incredible and for only 449 dollars for the basic version - plus another 99 if you want HD, I can only imagine that many people will want to do this. Bringing in HD does get more complicated, but again, it only takes money - LOL! For 995 bucks you can get Wirecast Pro (HD included) - which adds virtual sets and more. We saw this software demoed at the Moving Picture Collective User Group meeting in NYC a few months back - and after trying the demo, I totally agree with the presenter from the meeting, this software and some extra goodies can replace an entire satellite broadcast truck - at a much lower level - obviously, but in essence, in this new world, a laptop, some gear and this software does just that.
This blog, flycameradude.blogspot.com is part of the flymusicman project. Along with flymusicman.blogspot.com, it tells the story of the journey we are on - to try and invent a way to add a new voice to, and support the vibrant and growing local music scene in Westchester New York - and also, to try to inspire others to give back to those they call "their people".

As of January 1, 2019 I will have posting on this blog for one year. During that time I have posted 153 different post and have had 1710 different contacts to this website from 29 different countries During that time there have been 69 contacts that have responded in writing from countries as far away as Japan and China.
Included on this site are the 153 blog entries divided by month and topics; a new section that is titled Activity and is under construction; Articles that I have published in the past; A Q&A where you can pose a question about the Bible or its doctrine (teaching) and other appropriate topics; and a section titled The Mystery of Faith that is on my book and how to order it. Coming later this year will be a section on some select messages that I have preached and have been recorded.
Events of the past year have been teaching weekly in the Senior Adult Sunday School; a speaker on the Annual Senior Adult Bible Conference, hosted by our church; the translation and printing of my book in Chinese; and a 10 day mission trip to China which included worshiping with our Christian family in China. This year (2019) I am projecting two mission trips, one trip back to China and a second trip to Japan, which will hopefully begin a new work in Japan.
The status of the translations of my book, The Mystery of Faith, is as follows: The Chinese translation has been completed and printed and is being used as a training manual for new pastors in China. The Russian translation is nearing completion of chapter 5. The Japanese translation is also in chapter 5. The Spanish translation is moving slower due to family needs but is in chapter 3. I am currently searching for a publisher to print each of these translations so that they are available to people everywhere. More on that as it develops.
I am so amazed at what the Lord has done with this simple step of obedience. This is a brief report of the past year and some projections for the coming year. Watch for the LinkedIn page that is coming soon. If you subscribe to it you will receive a notice each time I make a post and it will also be linked to this site as well.

I have to replace the motherboard and would like to minimize the pain of re-activating Windows when I do that. I plan on installing an identical but used motherboard (I haven't bought that yet). Will Windows activate automatically in this scenario, or do I need to try and extract the existing key somehow? The Laptop is completely dead, so there is no way to start/run Windows in any way.

This Memorial Day I want to remember the sixty-six Tuskegee Airmen1 that died in battle during World War II and the remainder of that unique group of black Americans who have their rightful place among "The Greatest Generation" dying each passing year. I originally wrote this post for Black History Month as the Lord led. However, in His continuing leadership, I make this edited repost now, not only appropriately for Memorial Day, but also to acknowledge the reality of these black American men--many of whom were professing Christians--that lived not as victims, but victors as Open Door Communication Ministries, Inc. prepares to celebrate the 25th Year Anniversary of its "From Slavery To Victory Education Project"2 on Juneteenth this year.
Originally Posted February 5, 2012
February is Black History Month in America. While I concur wholeheartedly with those that contend the important history of black Americans and their contributions ought to be taught as an integral part of American History, the fact is, our nation's educational system still has a way to go to make this a reality. Until then, it is good to continue with the educational aim of black educator Carter G. Woodson when he established a Black History observance in the third decade of the last century.
Woodson wanted blacks who were intentionally excluded from the history books produced by whites, to be able to celebrate the significant historical contributions of members of their own race and feel good about themselves. Today, we want all Americans to feel good about the historical contributions of blacks to the building of the nation. To this end, I am pleased to recommend that all Americans see the movie, Red Tails, produced by George Lucas of Star Wars fame.
The film is based on the true story of the Tuskegee Airmen--an all black fighter pilot squadron out of the famed Tuskegee Institute of Alabama that greatly contributed to the success of Allied air efforts in World War II. Positioned in Italy, in the film plot the squadron's pilots are frustrated with the lack of opportunity to engage in air battles because racism in the Military has branded them inferior and incapable. Anxious to demonstrate their air prowess while racially belittled by white counterparts in segregated camps, the men are soon given their opportunity and the results are the stuff of legend.
Red Tails is an important look at the ugly reality of racial discrimination and segregation in American History. This is a reality that though not as overt as it once was, is still covertly practiced even in America's churches and a reason "the race card" still has power. The well produced movie is also an examination of the purposeful and noble choice the Tuskegee Airmen made to courageously fight the enemies of and die for the nation that oppressed them like enemies. Many of these men were (are) Christians and profile the heart of the aspiring strong man of God in the image of Jesus Christ I write about in my book, The Strong Man Of God: Back To Basics.3 They shine as over comers rather than victims (1 John 5:4-5).
I do want to acknowledge my daughter, Roberta Kelley, for getting her dad involved with a "Living History Day" project under the direction of then history teacher Ken Buckles at Milwaukie High School in Milwaukie, Oregon back in 1998-99. On that occasion, we hosted one of the Tuskegee Airmen, Ed German and a later comrade, Bill Holloway who were in town for the school event. We had a great time learning about their experiences. I commend Mr. Buckles (who is white) for wanting his primarily white students to know American History as it really is: the story of a nation comprised of people from every race that have all made important contributions to its historical achievements.

for black Americans grappling with our experience.

Joyful greetings to you on this Palm Sunday! Please receive this edited 2013 repost as a word of encouragement during this very special week for us as followers of Jesus Christ. Per usual, I will be taking Resurrection Sunday off in this current case to celebrate my 42nd spiritual birthday. The Lord saying the same, my next post will appear on Sunday, April 28th.
Originally Posted March 29, 2013

The foregoing is the heart of every aspiring strong man and great woman of God in the image of Jesus Christ! The times we have entered into have been foreordained and told by God through the prophets, the Lord Jesus and His apostles (Mark 13:9-23; Acts 8:1-4). There is nothing we can do to reverse this present course permanently for even when the Lord does send revival to His people in days ahead, it will not be to restore the so-called "good old days" as I write in my book, the Strong Man Of God: Back To Basics.2 It will be the marking out and protection of elect Israel as well as renewing preparation for enduring "the great tribulation" by faithful saints leading up to Christ's return (Revelation 7, NKJV).
Thus, the wicked wherever they are found fill up the cup of their sins that God in increasing severity judges until finally, He pours out on them the fullness of His wrath to crush them at Christ's appearing (Revelation 16:17-21, 19:11-21). Meanwhile, the faithful "fight the good fight of faith" (1 Timothy 6:12, NKJV); staying in it until death or the Lord's appearing and receive as our good end, the promised resurrection to immortality in the likeness of His own we celebrate on Resurrection Sunday (Revelation 20:4-6). A glorious Resurrection Sunday to you, indeed!

Javon Ringer
Javon Eugene Ringer (born February 2, 1987) is an American football running back who last played for the Tennessee Titans of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for Michigan State University, and was drafted in the fifth round of the 2009 NFL draft. He is currently a free agent.
Ringer attended Chaminade-Julienne High School where he set various school and state records. In college, he achieved many awards. In 2005, he earned honorable mention Freshman All-America status from The Sporting News. He was also named to The Sporting News Big Ten All-Freshman Team. In 2006, he earned the Biggie Munn Award, which is an award given to the team's most inspirational player. In 2007, he had a breakout season, becoming Michigan State's first 1,000 yard carrier since T. J. Duckett in 2001. He was also named Second Team All-Big Ten in the coaches and media polls. In 2008, as a Senior, he was named as one of four team captains. He was a semi-finalist for the Maxwell Award, the Walter Camp Award, and was a finalist for the Doak Walker Award, which he finished in third, behind Shonn Greene and Knowshon Moreno. He was also a Heisman Trophy candidate at one point, the only running back to be officially nominated all year.
He had a minor knee injury during the end of the 2008 season, which he had corrective surgery on. This slowed his Combine numbers; however, he improved upon those numbers during MSU's Pro Days. He was one of 3 Spartans invited to the NFL combine. ESPN.com ranked him the 8th best running back in the draft. He was a projected 3rd rounder in the 2009 NFL Draft. Another site lists him as a mid-second round draft choice. Ringer has drawn comparisons to NFL players Mike Hart and Chester Taylor. His performance at the MSU Pro Day "absolutely blew NFL teams away", due to putting up impressive numbers while not fully recovered. NFL Analyst Mel Kiper said of Ringer "He's only 5-9, 205, but he's remarkably strong, a good athlete and just a tough kid with great character. He blocks extremely well, and he'll be a very serviceable No. 2 back. He'll probably end up being a fourth- or fifth-round pick."
Ringer battled with several running backs for the 3rd string position coming into his rookie 2009 season, a battle which he won. He made his NFL debut in week 1, as a kick returner, and overall has played in 7 games. He was benched as kick returner after a poor performance in week 2. He had his first NFL carries in a week 6 game against the New England Patriots. He is slated to be 2nd on the depth chart in 2010.

This is a simple promise that the staff at Emeritus at Bassett Park Manor - and throughout Emeritus Senior Living communities - has shared since 1980, when our community first opened its doors. It's a simple promise to be compassionate and kind, understanding and respectful - a promise to become extended family to the seniors entrusted in our care and to our retirees who have chosen our senior living community for its active lifestyle.
Emeritus at Bassett Park Manor is located in the Williamsville where there is a perfect mix of quiet, wooded landscapes and pleasant suburban environments. Quite often you'll see families walking their dogs in the park across the street, or children playing in the playground. We are also conveniently located across from St. Gregory the Great Catholic church and close to the Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital.
This lovely area is only minutes from the City of Buffalo – part of the country where we experience all four seasons. That allows us to take advantage of seeing all the beautiful changing leaves in the autumn, Barbecues outside in the summer, a snowman-building contest in the winter, and planting flowers in the springtime!

Sandblasting and Surface Preparation
Though there are many types, "sandblasting" is fundamentally the process in which highly pressurized air blows sand (or other particles) onto a service with the intent of cleaning or otherwise removing existing materials. Items to be blasted range from fine medical instruments up to and including structures that are so large they must be blasted on site (i.e., water towers, highway bridges, etc.)
Our facility can handle the smallest to the largest blasting project. In fact, our newest blasting booths enable us to blast 53' full-size trailers inside our facility and within controlled environmental conditions. And our underlying processes and commitment to quality assurance are even more impressive than the size of structures we service.
We maintain an extensive arsenal of blasting media to ensure we use the specified material for your project. Plus, our seasoned blasting personnel are well-trained and knowledgeable on substrate materials, tolerances, and specifications. This experience ensures that we don't damage your structure while removing rust, scale, or prior coatings.
Sandblasting Media
Our primary blasting media include:
Glass Beads
Ball-shaped Glass beads are silica-free and commonly used for blasting, peening, honing, cleaning and light deburring. As they are often ball-shaped, they produce in a softer and brighter finish than other media.
Sodium Bicarbonate (or Baking Soda)
As suggested by its household uses, Sodium Bicarbonate – or baking soda – is the softest blasting media using in commercial and industrial blasting. Given its nature, it is ideal for blasting wood and other soft and/or sensitive surfaces. Likewise, it is environmentally friendly.
As the baking soda breaks down into smaller particles and will not damage the underlying substrate, it is commonly used for the removing paint, dirt, and other coatings from:
- Food processing equipment
- Fine or delicate instruments
- Tanks and storage vessels (inside & outside)
- Bearings and seals
- Hydraulic cylinders
- Equipment & machinery parts
- And others
Aluminum Oxide Media
The most commonly used blasting media, Aluminum Oxide is also the hardest second to only diamonds. Its abrasiveness allows it to cut through the hardest of metals and other hard materials quickly and efficiently without losing significant sharpness. In fact, Aluminum Oxide is so hard it can be reused/recycled many times before disposal is required. Aluminum Oxide is commonly available in standard brown and 99.5% pure white, the latter being more suitable for high performance processes (i.e., microdermabrasion processes for airline, auto, and medical applications) and where metal oxide contamination must be limited.
Black Blasting Media
Black blasting media, made from coal slag, is probably the most economical blasting media available and is largely silica-free. Likewise, it is safe, offers fast-cutting advantages and is easy to cleanup. Though it cannot be recycled, it is commonly used on both coated and uncoated metal surfaces.

Dorotheum London is delighted to be staging an exhibition of a selection of Jenny Holzer's works, organised in partnership with BFAMI and Sprüth Magers, from 5th June. Holzer herself curated the exhibition.
Women in Art
Dorotheum is excited to support the British Friends of the Art Museums of Israel (BFAMI) for their annual Women in Art Lunch, which this year honours Jenny Holzer, RA.
The annual BFAMI Women in Art Lunch not only highlights BFAMI's educational mission, but it also celebrates the achievements of Women in the Arts, and the important and sometimes overlooked role that female art practitioners and women who work in the arts play in the development and appreciation of art.
Jenny Holzer
Holzer, who lives and works in New York, came into prominence in the 1980s, around the same time as a number of other celebrated female artists such as Barbara Kruger, Cindy Sherman and Sarah Charlesworth. She developed a style that is rooted in language and its ability to challenge cultural, social and artistic notions of our time.
Holzer's work spans a variety of mediums. Whether realised as a t-shirt, plaque, LED sign or bench, her work often appears in public spaces, delivering multiple narratives, ideas and arguments to a wide audience.
Honourary member
Holzer was made an Honorary Royal Academician in 2016, and she received the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale in 1990.Her work has been exhibited in major museums around the world and can be seen in a number of permanent installations worldwide.
Founded in 1947, the British Friends of the Art Museums of Israel is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to raising funds to support educational programmes run by the Art Museums of Israel, which aim to share the artistic culture and history of Israel and international contemporary art with future generations from every walk of life. The events hosted in London, such as the annual BFAMI Gala and the Women in Art Lunch, are thus vital channels for raising awareness and funds for the work done on the ground, and Dorotheum is delighted to sponsor this year's event.

The Radio Dept. was formed in Malmö, Sweden in 2001 by Johan Duncanson and Martin Carlberg.
Out of a great review in the music magazine Sonic (2002) they gained interest from the label Labrador. After a few EPs, the band's debut album Lesser Matters was released in January 2003 to much critical acclaim. When re-released by XL Recordings the band started to reach audiences internationally. All three singles from the album were featured on the "Single of the Week" page in NME. The group enjoyed a more widespread recognition after three tracks ("Pulling Our Weight," "I Don't Like It Like This" and "Keen on Boys") were included on the soundtrack for Sofia Coppola's feature film Marie Antoinette.
In 2006, Pet Grief was released and in 2010, Clinging to a Scheme. A lot of international touring followed as well as a compilation of A and B-sides Passive Aggressive in 2011.
While writing on their fourth and final album under their deal with Labrador, the band got caught up in a legal battle with Labrador, which in distress ultimately made the band scrap the album they were working on.
After starting over, Running Out of Love was finally released in 2016.
The band left Labrador and decided to find a setup where they were in complete control of their releases. This resulted in forming the label Just So! in 2017. The band's studio work is an ongoing, continuous process which since the birth of Just So! have resulted in a couple of new singles.

Rapture #4
Written by: Matt Kindt
Art by: Cafu, Juan Jose Ryp, Francis Portela, and Andrew Dalhouse
Published by: Valiant Comics
Hands down the best comic that Valiant Comics put out this year is the Rapture miniseries. I'll be honest in saying that it may be the best miniseries Valiant has put out since its relaunch back in 2012.
Rapture #4 hits right at the lowest point for our heroes. Ninjak, Rex, Punk Mambo, and Tama the Geomancer had arrived in Deadside, with Shadowman in tow, to stop the villainous Babel from destroying the world. Except Shadowman is slightly conned into helping Babel without thinking about the repercussions.
Now…its the end of the world. Unlike R.E.M., Shadowman doesn't feel fine. How do you stop an immortal madman who has been planning for a millennia? Jack Boniface was supposed to be the one to defeat Babel but, as Shadowman chose the wrong side, he finds himself wondering why he decided to do what he did.
Once Jack comes to his senses it is a massive fight between Shadowman, Babel, and the massive monster loas for the entire universe. It is a fight for the ages and these battle scenes blow me away with its scope, artwork, and extraordinary coloring.
Who wins? We all know who wins. The Valiant universe certainly isn't going anywhere. But sometimes it isn't about the destination. It's about the journey and Rapture has been one hell of a ride.
Valiant has had some incredible teams work on their books but teaming Matt Kindt and Cafu together may have been the best decision Valiant ever made.
Rapture #4 certainly ends this miniseries with a bang and it is safe for me to say at this point that Rapture is the best book of 2017. There's still 4 months to go to have someone prove me wrong, but I have a feeling that this team-up of Ninjak and Shadowman will go down in Valiant history.

The machine gun preacher
Once a violent drug addict, Sam Childers is now a God-fearing, gun-toting vigilante intent on rescuing Africa's forgotten children
The Rev Sam Childers leans back in a plastic chair, crosses his tattooed, bear-like arms over a broad expanse of chest and regards me from behind wraparound sunglasses. Finally, after an unnerving minute, a smile gradually spreads out beneath his ragged and greying walrus moustache and he chuckles.
"I never said I killed anybody, did I?" says the man who calls himself the Machine Gun Preacher. "I never shot anybody that didn't need shot. If a gun's pulled on you, you shoot."
We're outside a nameless bar – "the local saloon", he calls it – in Nimule, southern Sudan, our feet in the dirt, flies buzzing in our ears, sweat sticking to our backs. Gawky Sudanese teenagers laugh, shout and play at a pool table

Obie Trice went from no one to someone in the rap world quickly when Eminem signed him to Shady Records and executive produced his debut. Born on the west side of Detroit in the Schoolcraft and Greenfield area, Trice began his rap career humbly. He dropped out of Cooley High School in the early '90s and began making ends meet, which wasn't too easy in the cold, abandoned streets of Detroit. His turning point came in 1998 with the birth of his daughter, Kobie. Shortly afterward, he took note ofEminem's breakthrough success in 1999 and began to have faith that he too could make it in the rap game, despite living in wayward Detroit.
Trice had begun rapping at a young age. His mother had bought him a karaoke machine that he used to practice, making tapes of himself over the beats of Run-D.M.C. andBig Daddy Kane. Over the years he improved his craft remarkably, releasing street tapes that began to generate some buzz in the local underground scene. These recordings came to the attention of Eminem, who in turn called up Tricefor an audition, and it was all smiles and handshakes from that point on. First came a plug on D12's Devil's Night album ("Obie Trice [Intro]" [2001]), then features on the Eminem Show album ("Drips" [2002]) and the 8 Mile soundtrack ("Love Me," "Adrenaline Rush," and "Rap Name" [2002]), and finally Trice's album debut, Cheers, in 2003. The album went platinum, and Trice wrapped up recording his follow-up by the end of 2005.
On New Year's Eve 2006, he was driving home from a Detroit club with his girlfriend when he was shot in the head. Remarkably, he was able to exit the freeway, and an ambulance took him to a hospital in Southfield. It was determined that removing the bullet would be too risky; Tricewas released within hours of arriving at the hospital. Between that event and the shooting death of D12's Proof, a friend and one of the people who met him at the hospital, Trice was compelled to record new tracks for his long-finished album.Second Round's on Me was finally issued in August 2006. Two years later he left Shady, feeling the label had failed to give him the proper promotional push but making it clear that Eminem was not to blame and the two were still very close. Mixtapes and guest appearances would carry Trice until 2012 when Bottoms Upbecame his first release for his own Black Market Entertainment label. Dr. Dre produced the album's title track while Eminem made two guest appearances, lending his vocals to "Richard" and producing the song "Going Nowhere." –via Allmusic

The stock market took quite a dismal hit on Christmas Eve but the turnaround may have already begun. If the rest of the market can recover the way the Dow Jones Industrial index has, perhaps things will reset by the New Year.
Indeed, the Dow Jones industrial average saw a 600 point gain on Wednesday, jumping almost 3 percent since the US markets plummeted on the worst Christmas Eve in history. Early in the day, the Dow Jones started on the negative side and cycled up 200 points in the first few hours of the day, on Wednesday. By the early afternoon, though, the trend continued, lifted mostly by surges in the blue-chip stocks (Apple, Home Depot, Microsoft, Nike, and Visa). And nearly 6 point surges in Amazon and Facebook also contributed.
This is important, of course, because Christmas Eve was a drastic day in the market, with the Dow falling 653 points. All indexes closed the day down at least 2 percent each. The Dow's 30 blue chip stocks are down more than 13.63 percent—roughly 4,000 points—in the month of December, alone, which is almost 5,000 points down from its high in September.
As a matter of fact, all three of the major US stock indexes were amid a four-day losing streak. So the day after Christmas looked to break that trend. For example, both the Standard & Poor's 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite saw some pops, rebounding 2.9 percent and 3.7 percent, respectively.
The Christmas Eve trading day was a short one, but the day following Christmas saw the Nasdaq amid correction territory with the S&P very close as well. Actually, 10 of the 11 S&P sectors are within correction territory, Wednesday. A "correction" is basically defined as a 20 percent retreat from the most recent high.
But it is too early to say that the markets are correcting and revising upward. With uncertainty about the Fed—and how President Trump feels about the central bank—it certainly has, and will continue to, rattle the markets. With a growing global financial crisis and the US government shutdown underway, the markets are not swayed by the Fed's continued confidence in US stability.


text: Out of the vast array of social media platforms, LinkedIn is by far the most valuable for professionals. It allows users to upload their resume, showcase their latest work, offer a run-down of their best talents, and even keeps a running list of those who recommend users for certain skills and expertise. But according to a 2013 Millennial Branding survey, almost half of all college students have never used LinkedIn at all – they are missing a very valuable networking tool.

How To Make Edibles Hit Better, Faster, Stronger
Edibles make you wait. Yeah, yeah — start low and go slow — we all have heard it, right? Mainly it applies to beginners — never underestimate the power of edibles and how your body might react to them. But for veteran users, this may be an ineffective approach that won't bring any high at all. How to make edibles hit faster? Check the following tips.
In brownies, for example, THC is attached to fat (cannabutter), and it is a reason why it takes time for it to kick in. The gastrointestinal tract is long; an edible passes through the stomach to intestines and liver, getting processed with acids and bile before it reaches the bloodstream.
A tincture is a quick alternative that takes THC right into your bloodstream. You just put it under the tongue and enjoy the faster absorption. Why? There are mucus membranes and tons of capillaries in your mouth, which absorb cannabinoids right away.
In average, you need to wait around 5 to 10 minutes before the effects of THC kick in. Thus, you can better control the length and strength of your dosage. Keep in mind that tinctures' effects do not last as long as edibles (again, because of fat and 'extended release' mechanism), but it is up to you what kind of effect you prefer.
Cannabis-infused drinks are an emerging trend in the edibles market. Just pick your favorite drink and ask for a cannabis-infused version of it at your local dispensary. Bonus: not only they are delicious, but they are also a fantastic option to get THC into your body faster.
The cannabinoids in liquid form can be absorbed sublingually (when you sip) and while passing through the digestive tract (in your stomach and intestines). If you are feeling adventurous, you may also want to try a concentrated cannabis 'shot' which brings you high in minutes.
Special Edibles
In today's market, you can find solid edibles formulated to hit you quicker. For example, specially produced chocolates that deliver you high faster. The manufacturer claims that the effects of these edibles can be felt in 15-20 minutes after consumption. The mechanism behind is proprietary but includes 'lipid micro encapsulation process' that allows THC to 'bypass the stomach and get into the small intestine faster,' delivering more of the cannabinoids into the blood.
Increased Metabolism
The last method may involve re-thinking your whole lifestyle, but it would also make you healthier. Increasing metabolism can help delivering the cannabinoids to your bloodstream as fast as possible. The rules are simple:
- eat lots of protein,
- drink water,
- work out,
- get a good sleep every night.
If you want a quick fix, opt out for caffeine or tea. According to studies, green or oolong tea can increase metabolism by 4-5%, while coffee does it by 3-11%. Next time you eat a cannabis-infused brownie, drink a cup of coffee to enhance metabolism and speed up the digestion of THC.

Keeping on winning
Robert Rhodes
Robert joined the first round of the Potteries Parks Tennis League in June 2016 and won the top group. He has since played in another four rounds and won the top group every time. We caught up with him to learn his winning tactics
When I was at high school at Brinsworth Comprehensive, Rotherham, I taught myself to play tennis and I spent many hours playing on the courts with friends and neighbours in the summer. I've always loved watching it, playing it and hitting a good winner. Getting back a shot that looks unreturnable is always satisfying.
Between 2002 and 2006, I played in the City and Suburban league in the Potteries but it was always doubles. Then I picked a racket up again when the Potteries Parks League started back in 2016, as I'd never played singles competitively.
I'm surprised I've won all 5 rounds I've taken part in. There are players who are technically better than me who I have played and beaten but as we all know, tennis is 20% hitting the ball and 80% movement and once I get a few games into a round, I'm pretty competitive.
I do like to serve and volley but hard courts don't lend themselves to that very well. I'm tough to get past and I would say my fitness levels help keep me in points, so it's got to be a good shot to beat me. Fitness is crucial. As you see in the professional game, if you want to be competitive your fitness has to be a good standard otherwise players will move you round the court like a good chess player round the chess board.
Serving is my best weapon. It's not fast but it's accurate and my kick serves give a lot of my opponents problems. Plus I'm a lefty and they sometimes don't realise they are feeding my forehand! Serving is the only part of the game you can control from the word go. My son is 10 and I take him down to the nearest park with courts and we both practise our serving for a good 15 minutes. That's where my practice ends as we are not at the level where I can improve my rallies yet with my son. Hopefully it won't be long before he's giving me the run around.
I would recommend the league to anyone who enjoys tennis regardless of ability. I love the flexibility of the rounds, and playing mornings, weekends or evenings. You can't do that with a local tennis club where match times are rigid and on specific days. With a young family and work, the parks league fits around my lifestyle and my family which has allowed me to enjoy the game. I'm absolutely ready to take on all comers! I'll be back in the spring of 2019 in the Potteries Parks League and I'd love to be pushed.
Want to get ready to take on Robert! Get in training in the next round which runs from Thursday 26 July to Wednesday 19 September. Join here by Monday 23 July.

Flexibility of Residential Lease Relations from the Tenant's Perspective: Estonian Law in a Comparative Context
Hussar, Ave
MetadataShow full item record
A certain degree of "default" flexibility in residential lease relations is important in guaranteeing the tenant's right to free movement and facilitating mobility in the labour market; in other words, the tenant should enjoy a right to terminate the tenancy relationship without extensive adverse consequences. With this in mind, I will first elaborate the comparative analysis on the tenant's right to terminate. Next, I will argue that tenants in Estonia have no real choice to opt for the flexibility needed without a trade-off in terms of stability, and why asymmetry of the parties' right to terminate is recommendable. Finally, I propose considering Europe-wide best practices and the local socioeconomic environment, with draft amendments to Estonian tenancy law in order to meet needs.

Need help getting off the ground.
Well... here goes
I have a idea/plan for my buisness, and need some help working out the details. A little background, I have a small on-line buisness selling some automotive engine related equipment, and I want to expand. Currently my buisness is slow, but the direction I want to expand into is hot. I want to start supplying Aftermarket hi performance engine parts. I am not making them, I will be a dealer for several top name brand components. These parts will be offered to the auto enthusiast crowd. I plan on limiting it to only one Auto Manufacture Brand, i.e.. GM, Ford, Nissan, etc.. it will be the brand that I am most versed in, and that way I will be able to offer the most customer service related to that Brand. I am currently running as a sole prop, but I am looking to either form a LLC or a corporation to limit my exposure, and provide a more professional image, as well as other benefits, I am leaning towards a Corp rather then the LLC. Once I have a sustained cash flow I will be looking to expand and start offering complete and semi complete custom engine builds. I do have experience in this, and there is no real shortage of customers. One other company that is doing this has over 30 orders lined up, and more then an 8 week wait time, with no sign of slowing! I am an active member of several automotive Forums, and I will be advertising on those, as well as Google Adwords.
My questions, I have a few :)
How can I get more funding to purchase inventory? My financial are thin at best, but I believe I have a sound idea.
Are there Angel investors that deal with this type of "Startup" I am not really a startup, but will be heading in a new direction.
What other directions can I look for capital?

Cleanliness, hygiene and a well groomedappearance are high priorities for me. That applies to myself, my equipment, as well as to the places I frequent. All my toys and equipment are disinfected after every use. Slaves and candidates are to comply with my high expectations of hygiene, and are to prove this through a clean, well-cared for appearance. A bathroom with further possibilities for hygiene before and after appointments is at all the locations I obtain.
Slaves and candidates are to be punctual. Any delay is to be reported immediately and maybe punished.
Pre and Post Meeting Chats:
An informational talk is a prerequisite before our Meeting. I greatly enjoy conversations after our Meeting as well.
I see myself as an Artist and expect an adequate Tribute. No one would expect a Musician, Dancer, Artist or Actress to work without appropriate compensation, and I do not offer that. I express my Dominance with great and authentic enjoyment, if the necessary Tributes are met. Realtime has a fixed rate. There are no hidden, additional or subsequent costs. I greatly enjoy specialties (Latex, Dirty, Clinic), however an additional cost will be added. Prices are not negotiable. The Tributes are to be taken care of prior to our sessions. Special locations which I obtain for our sessions can be at an additional cost. I love to play for a long time. And for this reason, here are special conditions.

Of course, gifts make my heart beat faster. I am especially pleased about valuable gifts, which are clearly selected and designed with dedication. I should feel that you have made an effort to please me with your presents. Flowers, sophisticated perfumes, shopping vouchers, kinky toys and elegant shoes can inspire me and put me in the right mood to use you for my most decadent thoughts.
Video Acting:
Should you be able to imagine being available as a video actor, I would consider this a nice proof of your devotion. To film, the actor is required to fill out a form I bring with me, in which all legal matters are clarified. You may gladly get a copy of it afterwards. In addition, I must ask you to bring your identity card, as I will need a picture of you and your data. Many International Clip Stores require this for verification before offering a clip on their site for sale. Whether you want to perform with or without a mask is up to you. I always have masks, but you can bring your own equipment. Video recordings are not free but reduced by up to 50%. Also in the shooting breaks you will be available to me and follow my instructions.

Chairman's Citation
Elisabeth Bumiller 2018
The New York Times
Elisabeth Bumiller is Washington bureau chief of The New York Times, a position she has held since September 2015. She oversees daily operations and leads all news coverage from Washington for The Times. Previously, she held the position of Washington editor and before that, deputy Washington bureau chief, overseeing White House and domestic policy reporting. She covered the Pentagon, John McCain's 2008 campaign and, from 2001 to 2006, she was a White House correspondent.
Before moving to Washington, Bumiller was the Times' City Hall bureau chief, responsible for covering Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani and his Senate race against Hillary Rodham Clinton from 1999 to 2001. Before that, Bumiller worked on the Times's Metropolitan staff in New York as a general assignment reporter and as one of the writers of the Public Lives column. She has also written for The New York Times Magazine and the Culture and Travel pages. From 1979 to 1985, Bumiller worked for The Washington Post in Washington, New Delhi, Tokyo and New York. Her first job in journalism was in the Naples bureau of The Miami Herald.
She is the author of three books: "Condoleezza Rice: An American Life"; "May You Be the Mother of a Hundred Sons: A Journey Among the Women of India"; and "The Secrets of Mariko: A Year in the Life of a Japanese Woman and Her Family."
Kathy Gest, chair of NPF's board of directors, said: "This year's Chairman's Citation goes to Elisabeth Bumiller, Washington bureau chief for The New York Times, who has led the paper's Washington coverage during a period of increasing challenges for journalism. Despite frequent jabs from the president of the United States at both the paper and individual staff members, the Times' talented Washington bureau staff, under Bumiller's leadership, has generated insightful and courageous coverage of the function and dysfunction of government. Since Donald Trump's arrival in Washington, the bureau has produced story after leading-edge story detailing the investigations, charges, shakeups and general disorder that have characterized the new administration. Bumiller has been in the center of it all in what Times' editor Dean Baquet has described as 'the newsiest place at the New York Times.' "


text: Hello, I have a 2004 Suzuki katana gsx600f there is an oil leak small one. Not a motorcycle mechanic here, but mechanically inclined. It is on the left hand side it seams to me that it is coming between the head and block. I have read that there is a plug in front of engine by exhaust that leaks and it looks like the head gasket is leaking. Would like to know if anyone familiar with this issue on this engine?
