From: Judge Robert Gage
This is a terrific photo. Delenn is giving a wonderful effort. Just look at his front legs, and how well he has his knees up & folded….doesn't get any better than that! Heck, he even goes in a D-bit snaffle! Don't see that too often in the jumper ring. I wouldn't even consider recommending any changes to his jumping style. When I get picky….I might mention that he is pretty far off to the left side of the fence, but I consider that more of a rider responsability.
Speaking of the rider….let's take a look at Michaela Lee. I know she is not an equitation rider, so I don't mind so much that she is kind of laying down on top of Delenn's neck. You can see the front of her shirt right down on top of her horse's mane. For jumpers, that doesn't really matter. She has a very long & generous release, which I'm sure Delenn appreciates, as he uses it all! My only suggestion would be for her to shorten her stirrups for jumping. It never hurts to have them a little short. I'm sorry, but that was my only suggestion…..like I said in the beginning…..this is a terrific photo!!
From: Judge Carol Dean-Porter
This mare uses her body really well, clearing the back rail of the oxer with a foot to spare. She appears to have left the ground from a good distance and I can see that her hocks and stifles are dead even. She gives the impression of confidence and carefulness about the jumps. I love her great expression and can see she is "zeroed in" on the next jump. She appears to be well-prepared and very experienced.
Michaela's stirrups are long enough that she has pulled her heel up in the air in an effort to stay secure. I am not positive, but believe that her stirrup leather has twisted as well. This causes the stirrup iron to twist across the foot. If Michaela will shorten her stirrups, she will be able to control her body in the air better, and most especially on the landing side. She has given Delenn plenty of freedom to use herself in the air.
It may be the angle, but I think that Michaela's helmet has slipped down. This happened to me during an Open Jumper course at Indio when I went into the ring with my "show helmet" the day after I cut my hair. It is fairly distracting when the bill of your helmet slips down into your field of vision! She may want to check the fit and add some padding in order to keep the helmet securely out of the way.
This mare jumps well enough that I think she deserves a belly guard! When galloping fast, especially on grass, careful horses will hit their chests and belly with their heels. Even when jumping without studs, this can cause bruising and abrasions.
I like the correctly-adjusted figure 8 nose band, set so that the cross piece does not press on the cartilage of the nose. I also like the simple Dee snaffle. Delenn's saddle does not appear to have slipped at all, but Michaela may like to add an elastic breastplate as insurance.
They are jumping off to the left side of the jump. This is not so vital when jumping straight lines, but on a bending line can change the distance between two obstacles substantially.
This pair looks like winners to me!

I went to a party once at a big celebrity's home, thrown annually with another big celebrity, a sort of a fun joint birthday celebration, which was neither fun nor celebratory nor were there any joints in evidence. That might have made the thing worthwhile or at least slightly more relaxed. There is something very weird and tense when you group a lot of famous people in one area. Usually, the truly famous need assistance, often a great deal of assistance, and so these events are rarely about the famous folks but more about their handlers, who can really suck the oxygen out of a room. At any kind of junket or awards show or showbiz thing I can feel my cells dying as they try to co-exist with all the entourages and teams and plus ones and minus ones.
At this particular affair, there were big, circularly arranged crowds around each bold name face, and so the famous did not so much commune with each other, rather the outer layer of each group surrounding the celebrity would mingle, but that was the extent of the socializing. This is my assumption and assessment of most famous folks. It's a large cluster of people, the one you know in the middle, many you don't know surrounding them. Don't even try, I think. You'll never get to the center of that tootsie pop. How many licks? I can't count that high.
I was surprised by Tom Hanks, coming around a corner, on his own, even without Rita, as this was ages ago, when he was just a lone celebrity, altogether without satellites. He's a wonderful actor, and a nice guy. He told me that he had long loved my comedy and that it reminded him of his family, as his grandmother or great grandmother or something grand in the title was Chinese. As I looked at him again, with this new information, and I could see it, and it was slightly shocking to think of him as asian, almost a scandal. It was akin to coming out of the closet, I guess. Coming out as asian. Look at his eyes. It's all there in the eyes. this was a big deal, and I never forgot it. I go see his movies still to this day in the theatre, and I sit back and I enjoy his acting, and in the back of my mind I think, "That guy is Chinese" and I believe I enjoy him more because of it.

Do Muslims and Christians worship the same God?
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Apr 03, 2011 Category: Articles
No. The god Muslims worship is, in reality, an idol. In terms of their own theology, however, he is a single person, transcendent. The God Christians worship, on the other hand, is the maker of heaven and earth. He is one being and transcendent, who exists in three persons, which are also immanent. Neither the one-ness nor the three-ness of God are tangential attributes. They are instead essential attributes; they define who He is. Move away from that definition and you move away from the true and living God. That same God has spoken in His Word, the Bible. He has not spoken again in the Koran. The God we worship did not send his most important prophet hundreds of years after the ascension of Jesus. The differences are too many to list. The overlap is here- in both instances we have a creator, a unity, a judge, one who transcends, who gives law, who is called "God." (Allah is not a distinct name for God, but is simply the Arabic word for "God.) To suggest that they are the same would be like arguing that since my sister and I both live in central Florida, both have red hair, both work for the same organization, both have the same parents and both think my wife is wonderful, that we are in fact the same person.
The better question is this- given the obvious and yawning gap between who God actually is and what Islam says their god is, why would anyone try to pretend that they are the same? It could be for the sake of earthly peace. At least some people in both faith groups are weary of all the killing. If our killing of each other, which includes ongoing wars in the middle east, ongoing attacks on our own soil, all the way back to the Crusades, is grounded in different views of who God is, and if we can agree we're both right, then we can all lay down our arms. Or it could be a ruse in the ongoing battle. If Islam can get the Christians to lay down their arms, they can win more victories. If Christians can get Muslims to relax, maybe we'll be able to tell them about Jesus. We build bridges for evangelism. They build bridges to attack. My suspicion is that we, on the Christians side, affirm such nonsense for a very simple reason- we don't believe. This kind of nonsense is not the result of succumbing to Islam, but on both sides, succumbing to the unbelieving spirit of our post-modern age.
The Bible teaches clearly that those who do not trust in the finished work of Christ alone will spend eternity in torment. To deny Jesus, His incarnation, His perfect life, His atoning suffering and death, His resurrection and ascension to the right hand of the Father is to be damned. Islam does just that. Islam not only does not look to the work of Christ for atonement for sins, they have no doctrine of grace at all. One cannot worship the true and living God while denying His Son. If the Bible's message here is true, it is false that we worship the same God. And we are in grave danger to suggest otherwise. Islam is a false religion, created by a false prophet who gave the world a false book. The Christian faith is true, because Jesus is the Word, and His Word is true.

Lindsay Lohan's mother hopes the troubled star will turn her life around with the help of TV titan Oprah Winfrey.
The actress will sit down for a candid interview with the media mogul upon completing her current 90-day stint in rehab next month.
She has also signed up to film an eight-part reality series for Winfrey's OWN network, and Dina Lohan hopes having the queen of daytime TV on-side will finally get her daughter back on track.
She tells the New York Post's gossip column Page Six, "If there's any mentor you could choose, there's nobody better than Oprah. This is a great opportunity for Lindsay. We are all very excited about it."

Luke 4:29
And rose up, and thrust him out of the city,
and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built,
that they might cast him down headlong.
This is the first clear scripture verse that simply does not line up with modern Nazareth being the Bible city.
There is no synagogue by a steep hill, and there is no steep hill that really qualifies.
There are all sorts of hills that have been called the "Cliff of Precipitation".
Errancy Wiki"The present-day inhabitants of Nazareth can, of course, point out the "precipice." On the spot, it is not very convincing."
Jesus (1935)
Charles Guignebert
It was the fact that the New Testament does not line up with the purported Nazareth that led Kevin Kluetz to look for the real Nazareth.

Nina Planck is the wife of Murray's Cheese proprietor Rob Kaufelt. Nina is a food writer and activist, who has written two books about the benefits of eating "real" or traditional food. Real Food for Mother and Baby focuses on the kinds of food that expecting or new mothers and their children should be eating. Join Nina for a special class at Murray's, on Sunday, May 19th, at 4pm.
"The modern pregnant woman cannot be blissfully happy," writes obstetrician, surgeon, and midwifery muse, Dr. Michel Odent. "All of them have a least one reason to be worried." Blood pressure too high or too low, weight gain too rapid or slow, anemia, gestational diabetes, too old, too young, too active, too sedentary. Plus the long shopping lists for the new, unnecessary nursery, the bedding, the bouncy seats, the dishes, and most of all, the toys to "entertain." The true message of the ad copy serving the Pregnancy Industry is two-fold: First, "What to Worry About When You're Expecting" and second, "How to Spend All Your Time and Money Easing Your Brand New Worries."
The woman carrying a new life has some decisions to make, yes, and now is not the time to pick up a heroin habit, but her time would be better spent in wonder at her wonderful and maddening years before children, because she has no idea how wonderful and maddening will be the years with children. No idea whatever. The pregnant woman is one of those rare creatures: an innocent one. I include the woman who is pregnant for the second or third time, because she has no idea that the next baby she meets will be quite unlike her last.
Still, a woman has to eat, and as Ashley Montague wrote in 1962, "Were they called upon to name the most important factor in contributing to the healthy development of the human conceptus, most authorities would unhesitatingly declare for the good nutrition status of the mother." I agree. There are many ways to serve your baby, but the chief one, now, is via your physical health.
You're in luck. You live in a world of ample food and likely have the means to buy it. Starvation and glaring deficiencies will not plague you. Still you might wonder what's best to eat, and why. Most women, it seems, bend their ears to experts more than to their own mothers, sisters, and other sources of traditional wisdom, if such a thing exists in (say) New York City, where I live, in the 21st century.
So I'll be your expert advisor, if you must have one, but here's the bad news: I have no expertise other than a basically scientific mind, wide reading on food and babies, a farming background, twenty years in the kitchen, common sense, two pregnancies, and three children.
Much of what you've read about nutrition in pregnancy and baby's first foods is bunkum. You can eat raw milk cheese; in well-made aged cheeses there is very little risk. You can eat fish – and should. Avoiding salt will not reduce swelling and will diminish your ability to raise your blood levels, a vital condition of pregnancy. You can have the occasional cocktail, beer, or glass of wine. No, there is not too much caffeine in a piece of dark chocolate for your little one. Even a cup of coffee is okay. In other words, you can eat like a normal person.
Of course, it's wise follow some general rules of good eating. Practice moderate omnivory. Eat whole foods, including plenty of fruits and vegetables. Eat traditional fats (butter, olive oil, coconut oil, nuts, lard) rather than modern oils (canola, soy, corn) and manmade fats (all trans fats). When you eat high up on the food chain, take more care that the food is clean. Grass-fed meat is preferable to feedlot beef; organic or pasture-raised milk preferable to powdered skim milk reconstituted with water.
In pregnancy, protein is of prime importance. Protein deficiency is the main cause of swelling, and swelling is a precursor to preeclampsia. Eat as much chicken, fish, salmon, beef, eggs, and cheese as you like. (I could almost write, "as much as you can," but it's not a macho thing, merely an exhortation. Only a woman carrying twins really has to pile on the protein.) Know that no vegetable protein, even in combination, has the power of these foods. As Kaayla Daniel explains in The Whole Soy Story, industrial soy foods – which includes most soy "health" foods, such as bars and drinks and cookies – are not wise. The soy protein isolate in these foods contains high doses plant estrogens; lacks adequate methionine; and damages the thyroid. (Buy the book or see www.TheWholeSoyStory.com.)
Meanwhile, salt your meat and fish to taste. Using unrefined sea salt in your home cooking and at the table is good for you and the baby. As Dr. Thomas Brewer established decades ago in What Every Pregnant Woman Should Know, the lack of protein, not an excess of whole salt, is the culprit in swelling. (Buy the updated book or see www.DrBrewerPregnancyDiet.com.)
One overstated worry concerns mercury in fish. Mercury is dangerous for the fetal brain, but it turns out that not eating fish during pregnancy is more dangerous. The babies of women who eat fish – even fish containing mercury – are better off than the babies of women who do not. The answer is to eat plenty of fish, ideally fish low in mercury. In general, smaller, oily fish such as herring and sardines are lower in mercury than larger fish, such as tuna. I recommend wild Pacific salmon in any form. If you buy canned salmon, eat the bones for calcium.
Eat traditional fats to taste. All the traditional fats, especially fish and butter, will serve your baby well. The old-fashioned farm fats (butter, lard, beef) are rich in fat-soluble vitamins, and the fish oil is vital for the baby's brain and eye, as well as for your healthy (DHA-rich) breast milk and your new-baby mental health.
Get calcium from traditional, full-fat dairy foods (especially cultured and fermented foods, such as cheese and sour cream) and from bone broths made from chicken, beef, veal, and fish. There's more calcium in these foods than in (say) kale, and it's more readily available to the body.
Avoid low-fat foods altogether. I don't mean foods naturally low in fat, such as peaches and lettuce. I mean foods engineered to be low in fat, like skim milk and chicken breasts without the skin. They lack the good fats themselves (chicken skin is the Jewish penicillin) and the fat-soluble vitamins (especially A and D). Often these stripped-down foods reduce the total nutrition available. For example, saturated fat aids in the absorption of calcium, so pasteurized orange juice with added calcium is inferior to a piece of good cheddar.
It should be clear from the foregoing menu that a healthy pregnant woman can eat very well indeed. Lay the table with the finest foods and savor them all. An omnivorous diet rich in nutrient-dense whole foods, including fermented and cultured foods, such as the proverbial pickles and luscious crème fraiche, is the right diet for a pregnant woman, her baby, and indeed the rest of her family. It's also the right diet for a nursing mother and a baby starting to eat real food. But that's another column – or two. Although I will part with this piece of advice, once your baby is making the transition from milk to solids, make sure to read this baby led weaning guide to teach your child to feed themselves at a young age.

The tanking liquid is a ready-to-use singlecomponent, solvent-free sealant composed of polymer dispersion, fillers and modifying additives. When applied to the surface, upon binding it creates a flexible and water-insulating layer.
The tanking liquid is a ready to use, single component, solvent-free sealant mass, consisting of polymer dispersion, fillers and additives. When applied to a substrate and cured, it forms a flexible waterproofing coating. The product is intended for use inside places intended for human residence, especially in humid areas (such as bathrooms, kitchens, laundries), to perform insulation against moisture under linings and coverings, such as ceramic tiles, glazed tiles, terracotta, wooden floors and panels, and synthetic carpets.
The product is intended for priming absorbent and porous surfaces, inside and outside buildings. It is especially recommended for cement - limestone plaster, gas concrete, plaster-carton boards and cement plaster. The primer has a high penetration ability, is deeply absorbed into the substrate, thus strengthening it, while allowing for "breathing". These benefits improve the structure of the substrates, which, due to the passage of time, have lost their appropriate parameters. The priming solution improves adhesion to the surface of other materials that will be used on the primed substrate. By reducing the absorbency of the substrate, the wear of the applied coating materials, emulsion paints, glues, mineral putties reduces as well. The solution, due to the content of the biocide and fungicide, protects the primed substrate against the formation of mold and bacteria in the product.

Ace Hardware launches 'Express' store format for smaller spaces
Oakbrook, Ill. — Ace Hardware has launched an "Express" format for both current Ace retailers and other business owners seeking to integrate the Ace brand into their existing offerings. The new, more compact stores average 5,000-sq.-ft. or less, and include customized merchandising displays and stock more than 11,000 of the most popular and profitable hardware products.
"At this time, there are nearly 400 successful Ace Hardware retail locations operating within less than 5,000 sq. ft., and the consistent high performance of these stores proved we had an incredible opportunity to create a specialized, smaller-format Ace retail model," said Mike Berschauer, director, retail development, Ace Hardware Corp. "Our goal is both to drive incremental store growth for Ace and to mirror the 'best in class' offerings available at our larger stores. Essentially we're providing the same top-notch brands and exceptional customer service, but just in a smaller space."
The Ace Hardware "Express" format makes it possible for Ace to continue growing share in markets that aren't able to accommodate additional full-size retail locations and is ideal for the following retail scenarios:
Ace will provide incentives of up to $150,000 to retailers utilizing the "Express" format. In addition, the company has created a variety of tailored resources to support these retailers – including merchandise profile guides, plan-o-grams to ensure that product selection is "shoppable" for customers, customized fixtures to create space efficiencies and a variety of incentive programs.
In addition, the in-stock product selection at "Express" format locations will mirror that available in a larger store model.
Currently, there are "Express" format Ace Hardware locations in six states across the United States – including Kansas, Massachusetts, New York, North Dakota, Tennessee and Texas.

The official start of summer has brought sweltering temperatures to the U.S. Corn Belt, where the corn and soybean crops are quickly fading. If widespread rains don't materialize soon, corn yields will suffer, and volatility will only increase, especially with the large influx of speculative money in today's commodity markets.
As of the week ending June 17, 63% of the nation's corn was rated good to excellent, down from 66% a week earlier. The percentage of soybeans in similar condition slipped to 56%, compared with 60% the previous week.
Nearly all of the central Corn Belt is abnormally dry to experiencing moderate to severe drought, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's latest drought monitor index released June 12. But the driest area of the Corn Belt—ground zero—is Indiana, where only 37% of the corn is rated good to excellent, down from 49% the previous week.
This week Chris Hurt, agricultural economist with Purdue University, reduced his U.S. average corn yield forecast to 160 bu./acre, down from his original estimate of 163 bu./acre. Still, he says, lost yield potential could recover in Indiana and elsewhere if weather patterns change and rain starts falling. "What we have are some really scary conditions in the eastern Corn Belt being offset by very good conditions in Minnesota and South Dakota," Hurt says.
This year's early planted corn crop is reaching the critical pollination period ahead of normal, thus the next few weeks—and whether it rains or not—will determine the eventual yield of this year's crop. As of June 17, 5% of the nation's corn had already begun silking.
Hurt reduced his corn yield forecast for Indiana this week to 151 bu./acre, down from his original 166 bu. "Nine of those acres came off this past week," he says. "Every day is critical at this point. We are on the verge of much more major crop losses on corn if we don't get a turn in the weather." Unlike in some western Corn Belt states like Nebraska and Colorado, irrigation in the heart of the Corn Belt is minimal.
Soybeans Hitting Moisture Wall
Meanwhile, growth in soybean plants in areas lacking moisture has stalled. "Beans are not getting much vegetative growth," says Hurt. "Beans have hit a limit. They can't grow anymore; they are just trying to stay alive." Hurt's latest U.S. average soybean yield forecast is 43.1 bu. per acre, down from his original 43.9 bu. Calculated over estimated planted acreage, his forecast reflects a reduction of 60 million bushels of beans unless weather conditions start to improve soon.
"We are out of soybeans," Hurt says. The country needs every last soybean it can produce, he adds. USDA's latest carryout estimate of 140 million bushels for the 2012-13 crop year is only a 16-day supply. Rationing will need to begin if soybean condition slips much further as the growing season progresses. If beans can hold on, Hurt says their yield potential could rebound.
Money Flow
"The fundamental balance sheet on soybeans is treacherous," say Ross Brainerd, merchandizer with Commodity Specialist Co., Kansas City. "A smaller Brazilian crop only magnifies the problem. But the bigger problem is the amount of money that flows in and out of commodity markets daily."
With trading electronic, Brainerd notes that algorithms that trigger trades increase volatility. "The current volatility is not due to the fundamentals only." Factors other than weather and money flow are also adding to today's price strength, he says, including strong balance sheets on corn and soybean operations that allow producers to hold their crops longer if prices turn lower, and not-so-good profit-and-loss statements on dairies and poultry operations that are causing those producers to buy feed hand-to-mouth.
The damage already caused by the ongoing drought has spurred Hurt to up his price forecasts for corn and soybeans. If weather were to improve immediately, Hurt says that U.S. average corn prices likely would come in near $5.25, which is 25 to 30 cents higher than his forecast of a couple of weeks ago. He now expects soybeans to average near $13.00, up from $12.00 just two weeks ago. If conditions remain dry? He is not ruling out new record-high prices.
Along with the weather uncertainty, there's the macroeconomic situation, particularly in Europe, that has investors moving money between markets. "Volatility will increase and become almost staggering due to the sheer flow of money into and out of the markets," says Brainerd.
A lot of rain at the right time, though, could work to tame the current price volatility.

The candidates for mayor, as well as in Districts 1, 4 and 6 are heading for the home stretch as the countdown to Election Day on Nov. 5 rolls on.
Early voting begins Monday and continues through the week.
That means if you can't make it to your respective precinct on Election Day, you will have plenty of opportunities to either vote early or submit your ballot by mail.
Participation at the polls has been low, both for the primary on Sept. 10 and the last municipal election.
The primary on Sept. 10 brought out fewer than 8 percent of registered voters, even lower than the 2011 primary, when about 11.5 percent took part.
The 2011 general election drew around 15 percent of registered voters.
That's unacceptable to Sharon Harrington, supervisor of Lee County Elections, who said that local government is the first line of folks who can help with your problems.
"Municipal elections are important. It disturbs me because there are a lot of issues going on in the Cape and people are always complaining, yet they don't go out and vote," Harrington said. "We can't make it easier for them. We can mail them, they can come early, I don't know."
Harrington said one solution to the problem would be for the state legislature to change the law for all-mail elections.
"If the city did all mail, you may have a bigger turnout. They would get a ballot whether they want one or not," Harrington said. "No excuses. They could open it, fill it out and mail it back."
Harrington also plans to institute drop boxes down the road.
As of Monday, 3,399 mail ballots have been requested, with 1,119 returned, Harrington said, adding that for municipal elections about half are returned, as opposed to 90 percent for presidential elections.
Candidates are hoping residents break the recent trend and turn out. They have few answers as to why the Cape hasn't seen a better turnout.
"It's hard to get people engaged if they don't want to be. It's a shame because the number of people who gave their lives in order to give us the opportunity only to be wasted," Mayor John Sullivan said, adding that perhaps a shift to a larger election cycle (on even numbered years, when elections used to be held on) would help.
"Eight percent is embarrassing and it's too bad. There's so much apathy, yet everyone has a problem with the city and they don't care," District 6 challenger Rick Williams said. "There's so much talk, I hope it means a better turnout."
"My signs posted around the city ask people to please vote. As a veteran, we should show respect all the military by utilizing the right to the democratic process," District 4 incumbent Chris Chulakes-Leetz said. "If I had an answer) to why so few vote) I'd be making millions as a consultant instead of $17,000 as a councilman."
"Unfortunately, there are a lot of people uninformed. They are not aware of where our money is going," said David Headd, one of two candidates vying for the seat Marty McClain is vacating in District 1. "They may come if we have a financial crisis, but by then it's too late. You see the same people at the forums."
Harrington said getting people to vote ultimately falls in the hands of the candidates.
"They have to get people more excited. That's not part of my job description. We try to make it as available as possible," Harrington said. "Knocking on doors reminds them they're there and they need to get off the couch."
District 4 candidate Richard Leon said he has stepped up his campaign by going to homes every day, meeting people and going to businesses.
"My goal is to create a relationship with the people over time and that will get more people to come out," Leon said. "I'm just trying to relate to people and they can tell me what we need to move the city forward."
That also goes for mayoral candidate Marni Sawicki and District 6 incumbent Kevin McGrail.
"We are calling, we are chasing ballots and getting ready to do sign waving, preparing for debates, making sure everyone is getting that vote out," Sawicki said. "We are tapping into every resource. We have people who don't even know there's an election. We need help from the media."
"You see my signs all over the city that I put there with my grandson, so we're doing our best to make people aware an election is coming," McGrail said. "The most important elected officials are at the local level. We pave the roads and bring the sewers in and yet 80 percent vote for president."
District 1 candidate Jim Burch has been running on austerity, but plans to ratchet things up as Nov. 5 approaches.
"We're doing the things we need to do to get through the election. We're going to put some signs out," Burch said. "We like our message and will continue to get it out and will continue to knock on doors."
Early voting will be held from Monday, Oct. 28, until Saturday, Nov. 2, at the Lee County Elections Main Office at 2480 Thompson St., 3rd Floor in Fort Myers, and at the Cape Coral Branch Office at 1031 SE 9th Place, No. 3.
Voting hours will be Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Citizens can vote for any candidate in any district. The elections are non-partisan.
Mail ballots can be requested by contacting the office of the Lee County Supervisor of Elections by phone (533-6919), fax (533-6913) or through the Web at: www.leeelections.com.
For more information, please call the City Clerk's office at 574-0417.

Kansas City, MO
Details: Future, Migos, Tory Lanez, Kodak Black, Zoey Dollaz
In October 2015, Canadian rapper Drake posted a video of himself dancing to one of Kodak Black's songs, "Skrt", which helped Kodak Black gain popularity. That same month, Kodak Black signed a deal with Atlantic Records. In May 2016, Kodak Black and rapper and label-mate Lil Uzi Vert announced their intention to partner for a national tour called the "Parental Advisory Tour", however, Kodak Black did not appear on the tour.
In May 2016, Kodak Black was featured on French Montana's single "Lockjaw", from French Montana's twenty first mixtape MC4, which reached a peak position of 23 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. In August 2016, Kodak Black's single Skrt reached number 10 on Billboard's "Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles" chart. In June 2016, he released his fourth mixtape, Lil B.I.G.

On 5 April 2017, 2 new Regulations on medical devices were adopted, and they entered into force on 25 May 2017. These replace the existing Directives.
The new rules will only apply after a transitional period. Namely, 3 years after entry into force for the Regulation on medical devices (spring 2020) and 5 years after entry into force (spring 2022) for the Regulation on in vitro diagnostic medical devices.
The Commission welcomes the adoption of its proposal for 2 Regulations on medical devices which establish a modernised and more robust EU legislative framework to ensure better protection of public health and patient safety.
The new Regulations contain a series of extremely important improvements to modernise the current system. Among them are:
More information is available in this presentation that contains general information on key changes contained in the Regulations and transitional periods.
See the new rules to ensure safety of medical devices.
Problems with diverging interpretation of the current Directives as well as the incident concerning fraudulent production of the PIP silicone breast implants highlighted weaknesses in the legal system in place at the time and damaged the confidence of patients, consumers and healthcare professionals in the safety of medical devices. Such problems should not occur again and the safety of all medical devices available in the EU has to be strengthened. Moreover, revision of the legislation was necessary to consolidate the role of the EU as a global leader in the sector over the long-term and to take into account all technological and scientific developments in the sector.
The new regulations will ensure:
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2185 of 23 November 2017 on the codes for the designation of notified bodies in medical devices under Regulation (EU) 2017/745 and in vitro diagnostic medical devices under Regulation (EU) 2017/746.
As of 26 November 2017, conformity assessment bodies may apply for designation as notified bodies under Regulations (EU) 2017/745 and 2017/746. Guidance documents and forms are available in MDCG documents. This explanatory note provides answers to the most frequent questions asked about the designation process, and in particular the scheduling of joint assessments.
Information on the applications for designation as a notified body: Short overview of the state-of-play of joint assessments of Notified Bodies in the medical device sector at the date of 30 November 2018.
This Rolling plan contains the list of essential implementing acts and actions for the transitional period as well as information on expected timelines and state-of-play.
Its 2 main sections are implementing acts and other actions/initiatives. The rolling plan will be reviewed quarterly to provide operators with the latest information.
Use this document together with the 'MDR/IVDR roadmap', produced by the Competent Authorities for Medical Devices project (CAMD) and the Commission. The roadmap is more comprehensive. It gives an overview of all the Commission's and national competent authorities' expected initiatives (including guidance) during the transitional period.
The Medical Device Coordination Group (the MDCG) is an expert group established by Regulation (EU) 2017/745 on medical devices and Regulation (EU) 2017/746 on in vitro diagnostic medical devices. Its members are experts representing competent authorities of the EU countries. The MDCG provides advice and assists the Commission and EU countries in implementation of both Regulations. The MDCG operates in accordance with the horizontal rules on the creation and operation of Commission expert groups and it is registered in the Register of Commission expert groups and other similar entities under the code X03565.
MDCG Terms of Reference
MDCG Rules of Procedure
The MDCG has 11 working groups:
1. Notified Bodies Oversight (NBO) – Terms of reference
2. Standards – Terms of reference
3. Clinical Investigation and Evaluation (CIE) – Terms of reference

Factsheet for manufacturers of medical devices
Implementation model: medical devices
Exhaustive list: requirements for medical devices manufacturers
Factsheet for manufacturers of in-vitro diagnostic medical devices
Implementation model: in-vitro diagnostic medical devices
Ranging from simple sticking plasters and contact lenses to sophisticated pacemakers and hip replacements, medical devices and in vitro diagnostic medical devices are important to our health and quality of life. People rely on these devices every day and expect them to be safe and incorporate the latest progress in science and innovation.
Medical devices within the EU are currently regulated by the following 3 directives:
The Commission has adopted several implementing measures based on the Medical Devices Directives. These measures concern, among others, medical devices manufactured using tissues of animal origin, the classification of certain medical devices and Common Technical Specifications for In vitro diagnostics (IVDs)s, listed in Annex Ⅱof the IVD Directive.
See key documents on recommendations, classification and other amending and implementing legislation below:
In addition, legally non-binding guidance documents, MEDDEVs, consensus statements and informative documents pursue the objective of ensuring uniform application of the relevant provisions of the directives within the EU.
Please note that all guidance and implementing measures under the current Directives will be reviewed over the next few years in the light of the texts of the 2 new Regulations. See 'new Regulations' above for more information.

Discovering the Scientist Within offers an utterly unique approach to the research methods course. Rather than taking students through statistical methods one at a time, the authors provide a series of realistic and engaging case studies with each design-focused chapter presenting a single study start to finish. View More
Through a combination of narrated PowerPoint slides and real-time screen capture of PASW/SPSS, we present a novel research scenario, help students identify relevant variables of interest, identify the level of measurement for each variable, discuss how to choose the appropriate statistical test to analyze the data, input the data into PASW/SPSS, obtain a t-test for independent means and a bar graph with 95% confidence intervals, describe how to interpret the output, and communicate the findings in APA format. Captioning and highlighting are used to reinforce critical concepts and call attention to important information. The tutorial runs about 45 minutes.
Reinforcing multiple-choice questions are periodically interspersed throughout the tutorial. Students select an answer and click on "Submit" to receive feedback. Students can select alternatives until they obtain the correct answer. Students have the option to fast-forward, rewind, and pause the tutorial using the "movie bar" below the tutorial.
Instructors have two means of making this resource available to students. First, the tutorial can be downloaded to any personal computer. The tutorial consists of four files. Create a folder called "t-test for Independent Means " on your Desktop or in My Documents. Download the files to this folder. Please note, the tutorial will not run if any files are missing or if files are housed in different locations. Click on the IndependentTTestV1.htm file. This will launch your default web browser and play the tutorial. The tutorial may take a few moments to load depending on the speed of your computer.

PITTSBURGH (AP) Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu left Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles in the first quarter after aggravating his strained right calf.
Polamalu limped off the field following a fumble by Philadelphia quarterback Michael Vick. The team said Polamalu's return was questionable, but the 2010 NFL Defensive Player of the Year watched the entire second quarter from a seat on the bench and did not move. He was replaced by backup Ryan Mundy.
Polamalu missed each of Pittsburgh's previous two games after injuring the calf in a season-opening loss in Denver.
The Steelers also lost linebacker LaMarr Woodley with a strained right hamstring. His return was questionable.

Thai cave: all 13 members of the Wild Boars team rescued
All 12 boys and their soccer coach trapped for more than two weeks deep inside a flooded Thai cave have been rescued, a Thai navy SEAL unit says, marking a successful end to a perilous mission that gripped the world.
"The 12 Wild Boars and coach have emerged from the cave and they are safe," the Thai navy SEAL unit said on its official Facebook page.
The team and their coach got trapped on June 23 while exploring the cave complex in the northern province of Chiang Rai after soccer practice and a rainy season downpour flooded the tunnels.
British divers found the team, hungry and huddled in darkness in a partly flooded chamber several kilometres inside the complex, on Monday last week.
After pondering for days how to get the 13 out, a rescue operation was launched on Sunday when four of the boys were brought out, tethered to rescue divers.
Another four were rescued on Monday and the last four boys and the coach were brought out on Tuesday.
Celebrations will be tinged with sadness over the loss of a former Thai navy diver who died last Friday while on a re-supply mission inside the cave in support of the rescue.
NEWS agencies are reporting all 13 members of a soccer team trapped in a flooded Thai cave complex for more than two weeks have been rescued.
The 25-year-old coach is alleged to have been the last Wild Boars team member to leave the Tham Luang caves after more than two weeks underground.
Eleven people have been confirmed as having been rescued.
Eight of the boys were freed from the cave complex during the previous two days.
A post on the Thai NavySEAL Facebook page indicated today's rescue effort would be longer the previous two.
"We will celebrate together finally," the post concluded.
An 11th boy has been rescued from a flooded Thai cave complex after more than two weeks underground, raising hopes all 13 members of a soccer team will be out by the end of the day.
A Reuters witness has now seen three people being carried out of the Tham Luang cave on stretchers on Tuesday, the third day of the rescue operation.
Eight of the boys were brought out on stretchers over the first two days - four each on Sunday and Monday.
The operation is moving into its final stages, and the head of the rescue, Narongsak Osottanakorn, said earlier it would be "more challenging" on Tuesday because one more survivor would be brought out, along with three Navy SEALs who have been accompanying them.
But he said the rescuers have been learning from experience and were two hours faster in bringing the second batch of survivors out on Monday.
"I hope today we will be faster or the same speed as yesterday," Narongsak said.
A team of foreign divers - including Australians - and Thai Navy SEALS has been guiding the boys out through nearly four kilometres of sometimes submerged, pitch-dark channels.
The soccer team and their coach got trapped by a downpour on June 23 when they set out to explore the vast cave complex after practice.
British divers found the 13, huddled on a muddy bank in a partly flooded chamber several kilometres inside the complex, on Monday last week.
The eight boys brought out on Sunday and Monday are in good health overall and some asked for chocolate bread for breakfast, officials said.
Two of the boys had suspected lung infections but the four boys from the first group rescued are all walking around their hospital beds.
They are still being quarantined from their parents because of the risk of infection and would likely be kept in hospital for a week to undergo tests, officials said.
A 10th person has been rescued from a flooded Thai cave complex where 12 boys and their soccer coach were trapped for more than two weeks, raising hopes that all 13 would be out by the end of today (Thai time.)
A Reuters witness saw two people being carried out of the Tham Luang cave on stretchers on Tuesday, the first two to be taken out on the third day of the rescue operation.
Eight of the boys were brought out on stretchers over the first two days, four over Sunday and Monday.
The head of the operation, Narongsak Osottanakorn, said earlier the final operation on Tuesday would be "more challenging" because one more survivor would be brought out, along with three Navy SEALs who have been accompanying them.
I am now hearing from my source (as others have reported) the TENTH boy is on his way out of the #thamluang cave. #thaicaverescue@smh@theage— James Massola (@jamesmassola) July 10, 2018
A ninth boy has been rescued from a cave in northern Thailand.
Thai Navy SEAL confirmed on its Facebook page that the ninth boy had been rescued.
The boy was one of 12 who were trapped with their soccer coach in the Tham Luang cave.
The third day of the rescue mission got under way just after 10am local time.
There are 19 divers involved in this final operation.
Eight children were retrieved from the cave during the first two days of the rescue operation.

If further proof was needed that the Bulls are doing whatever it takes to distance themselves from Derrick Rose and last season's postseason-less debacle, it came Monday when they asked newcomer Michael Carter-Williams what jersey number he wanted.
"I said, '1,' and there wasn't too much discussion," Carter-Williams said before the Bulls' 108-104 overtime exhibition loss to the Hornets Monday night at the United Center.
No. 1, as in the number Rose — traded to the Knicks this summer after seven often-volatile seasons with the Bulls — wore for his hometown team.
The Bulls issued the number to Carter-Williams, who didn't play against the Hornets but was listed as...

With this ride, I closed off what's been a very mixed month. On the surface, with the exception of today's ride, it's been discouraging. I was 73rd in the Menlo Grand Prix, never a factor. I've never once this month felt strong on climbs. I got dumped from my one and only Spectrum Ride (okay, I ran 12.3 miles the day before). I did manage to hang with the main group over Canada College on a Thursday Noon Ride, but on a Tue Nooner, I was overwhelmed before I dropped off to do my assigned sprints (I'd done a long run two days before). I've not done a single ride this month much over 45 miles.
So when things don't seem to be going so well, it's nice to look at some data. Here's my maximal power curves for the month (before and after today's sprint workout), compared with Feb and Mar of last year.
maximal power curve comparison. PDF version also available.
What do I see here? Well, not so bad, really. Starting from the left, clearly sprint power is up. Moving onward, there's a gaping hole in the range of VOMax intervals, 3 to 8 minutes (180 to 480 seconds). I was doing those last March, but I'm not yet there this year. Towards 40 minutes, the Menlo Grand Prix yielded a sizable plateau. Not shown are my soporific data from climbing Old La Honda or West Alpine, which fell well below the Menlo numbers. Further to the right I see this year's data falls off below the 2008 curves. I was doing more long, hard rides last year. To a certain degree these have suffered due to the addition of running to my scheduler: I've done several runs approaching or exceeding the half-marathon distance these past few months, and am still recovering from straining my hamstring during the Woodside Half Marathon.
Also shown in the plot is an estimated maximal power curve assuming FTP = 280 watts (5.02 W/kg on a Powertap ≈ 5.17 W/kg on an SRM) with a ratio of anaerobic work capacity to critical power of 60 seconds. These would be fairly good numbers for me, and I may not be there yet, especially the AWC component. The Menlo data fall close to this curve, which is impressive given how non-uniform the efforts were there (the "normalized power" curve, which is claimed to better predict FTP in this time range, actually exceeds this "optimistic" curve, but I prefer to stick with average power). Last year my VOMax intervals come close to this curve. It will be interesting if I can match last year's numbers when I add these to my menu this year, no doubt soon.
So for April: I absolutely must get in some longer rides. With sickness, moving, and fatigue from running, my training progression substantially lags last year. And there's that uncertain benefit from all of those running miles.

helmel engineering products, inc. (hepi) is engaged in the design, manufacture, sales and service of coordinate measuring machines (cmm) and related software. cmms are built mainly for the manufacturing industry in the automotive, aerospace and business machine sector and for tool and die shops, moldmakers, machine and fabricating shops, stamping houses, etc. practically anyone having to verify a physical part to dimensions on a blueprint to a high degree of accuracy is a potential customer. the checkmaster is a manually operated machine, whereas the microstar, the pcmm and the newer rambo can be programmed for fully automatic operation.
hepi is located at 6520 lockport road in the town of niagara, just outside of niagara falls, new york and a few miles from the canadian border. this location has strategic advantages since the three important industrial cities of rochester, buffalo and toronto can be reached within 1 ½ hours. the airports of toronto and buffalo provide easy access to any airport in north america and europe, important for sales and service. the thruway entrance is only two miles away.
hepi occupies over 22,000 square feet of manufacturing and office space. the building sits on 5 acres of industrial property owned by the company. this facility is air conditioned with the exception of the storage and loading areas. the extensive machine tool park includes several fair sized machining centers and a large grinder. most operations to manufacture the above machines are performed in house i.e., milling, turning, drilling, welding, painting, measuring and assembly. the electronic cabinet, which is part of the motorized machine, is also assembled in house. surface grinding to a very high degree of straightness is a specialty of hepi and probably few, if any, companies could match this with the required consistency. measuring machines are calibrated with a laser before shipment. field installations and training are performed by in-house technicians and engineers. full employment in this facility is approximatly 26.

Transactions that involve multiple resources or multiple participant processes are distributed or global transactions. A global transaction can involve one non-XA resource if last agent optimization is enabled. Otherwise, all resources must be XA. For more information about transactions in the GlassFish Server, see Chapter 15, Using the Transaction Service.
The Connector specification requires that if a resource adapter supports XATransaction, the ManagedConnection created from that resource adapter must support both distributed and local transactions. Therefore, even if a resource adapter supports XATransaction, you can configure its connector connection pools as non-XA or without transaction support for better performance. A non-XA resource adapter becomes the last agent in the transactions in which it participates.
The value of the connection pool configuration property transaction-support defaults to the value of the transaction-support property in the ra.xml file. The connection pool configuration property can override the ra.xml file property if the transaction level in the connection pool configuration property is lower. If the value in the connection pool configuration property is higher, it is ignored.

The Federal Reserve Board just released the results of a September 2013 survey, based on a nationally representative online panel, which was designed to monitor how well consumers have recovered from the financial crisis and to identify risks to their financial condition. While retirement was not the focus of the survey, it contained a number of questions that shed some light on how consumers think about supporting themselves in retirement and the steps they have taken to date.
Once again, the news is disquieting and flies in the face of the current campaign to show that everything is fine on the retirement front.
Just to be clear here: I would be delighted if everyone were going to be financially secure in retirement. That is not my assessment, but I would be happy to be wrong. If the arguments of the "all fine" campaigners were more persuasive, I would devote more time to becoming a life master in bridge! The problem is that the evidence for concern keeps piling up, and the recent Fed survey is just one more example.
Despite the shift from defined benefit plans to 401(k) plans, which shifts the responsibility for retirement planning to the individual, remarkably few respondents have given it much thought. Among those age 45-59 and 60+, about 40% said that they had thought "only a little" or "none at all" about financial planning for retirement.
Responses to questions about amounts saved reflect the lack of attention. Roughly 45% of those surveyed said that they had not saved any of their 2012 income. Since this figure includes all age groups, it exaggerates the lack of saving for those approaching retirement. But some other responses suggest that these older groups may be in trouble. A high percentage of those 45-59 (64%) and 60+ (42%) have not put aside an emergency fund to cover expenses for three months should they lose their job or suffer some other disruption. What is even more distressing is that only 48% of respondents said that they could fairly easily handle an emergency expense of $400.
In terms of retirement saving per se, 23% of those 45-59 and 15% of those 60+ responded that they had no retirement savings (savings, pension, or Social Security). The wording of the question may have led to understatement of eligibility for Social Security. When Social Security is excluded as a form of retirement "savings," the share of respondents 60+ with no retirement savings rises to 31%.
So how do the people in the Fed survey think they will support themselves when they are in their sixties and seventies and thereafter? The short answer is: work. Of those who have given any thought to retirement, many either do not plan to retire, expect to keep working after they retire, or do not know how they will support themselves. I'm a great supporter of working longer. It's a terrific lever for ensuring retirement security. Social Security benefits claimed at 70 are 76% higher than those for the same person claimed at 62, and assets in 401(k) plans have time to grow.
But the working-longer plan is a little more complicated. First, after some point, most people are no longer working; so people are going to need something more than Social Security. Second, for one reason or another people don't end up staying in the labor force. Hopefully this picture will change over time. But in the Fed survey of those who identified themselves as retired, only 6% said that they had a job.
The overall picture from this most recent survey is that people are not prepared or preparing for retirement and their backstop is continued work. While working longer is a good idea, it should not be viewed as the only answer to the retirement-income challenge.
