Eyeglasses May Not Be the Answer
to Your Child's Vision Problem
Vision Therapy is Used to Treat...
a number of vision problems. Most programs of vision therapy
are done in the doctors office for 30 to 60 minutes, once or twice
a week.
Some doctors prescribe home training activities in addition to, or
in place of, in-office therapy procedures. Your eye doctor will
determine which approach is most approrpiate for your child.
If your child has any of the following vision problems,
vision therapy may provide the most effective solution.
Crossed eyes and lazy eye
Good eye coordination is important to having a clear, 3-dimensional
view of the world. When the eyes are misaligned, the brain receives two
very different images. At first, this may create double vision. But over
time, the brain will try to eliminate the double images by ignoring the
visual information from one eye. If an eye turning becomes constant
(crossed eyes) and is not treated, it can lead to permanent reduction of
vision in one eye, a condition called lazy eye.
Eye focusing problems
When a child first starts reading, he or she may initially see things
clearly, but after a brief time the words or numbers on the page may
become blurry. The stress of working to keep the words clear can result
in visual discomfort, headaches and reduced comprehension. Good eye
focusing is needed for reading or other close work.
Eye teaming problems
Eye teaming allows the brain to put together the information received
from each eye into a single, clear picture. If both of a child's eyes are not
working precisely together, double vision may occur. Or he or she may
use a lot of additional effort to try to keep both eyes pointing at the
exact same place resulting in reduced ability to read easily and
Eye tracking problems
In order to aim and move his or her eyes accurately, a child needs good
eye tracking ability. This is important for following a moving object
such as a thrown ball, or moving the eyes quickly from one place to
another, like looking from one word to the next across a page. Problems
with eye tracking may result in skipping words or lines of print when
reading and poor sports performance.
Eye-hand coordination problems
Eye-hand coordination allows children to use visual information to
guide their hands. It is a visual skill needed for copying information
from a book, drawing a picture, or catching a baseball.
Visual perception problems
Problems with visual perceptual skills can interfere with the normal
reading and learning process. Visual perception allows a child to stay
focused on the task, recognize letters and words, remember what he or
she reads, understand math concepts, and match sounds with visual

RAW File Load Speed - Slow, slow, slow!!!
bwana4swahili posted a topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)I really like Affinity Photo (AP) most of the time; HOWEVER, the super slow loading/processing of RAW files is a real bummer. Maybe this doesn't apply to Canon and Nikon RAW format BUT loading Sony RX10 III/IV and A7R II RAW files is a show-stopper. In fact it is so slow I've gone back to preprocessing RAW files to TIF format in Lightroom then loading the TIF files to AP. The result is a saving of 15-30 minutes for 10+/- RAW files!! Lightroom, Photoshop and OnOne load RAW files almost instantaneously. What is Affinity Photo doing that causes it to essentially stall!? Crashes: The above process (RAW processing) is also one of most common causes of crashes in Affinity Photo, i.e.: no error messages, AP simply goes away!

An Australian doctor who helped rescue 12 boys and their soccer coach from a flooded Thai cave has downplayed his key role, saying the "big heroes" were the children themselves and the Thai navy divers who looked after them.
Anaesthetist and expert diver Dr Richard Harris was part of an Australian contingent assisting in the dramatic rescue of the boys from the cave near Chiang Rai in northern Thailand.
After the last boys and the coach were brought out by a chain of divers on Tuesday night, Dr Harris told Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull via Facetime that the morale of the boys was crucial to their successful rescue.
Dr Harris' key role in the rescue effort involved assessing the boys' health on Saturday and ruling them well enough to be dived out of the cave.
He told Mr Turnbull that the "big heroes" were the children themselves and the Thai Navy SEAL divers who looked after them in the cave.
"They are the toughest blokes and kids I've ever had the privilege to meet," he said.
"They are the ones who were responsible for their own morale and really their own safety and without them being in the state they were in we couldn't have done anything."
After jubilation in Thailand and around the world on Tuesday night following the successful completion of the rescue, Dr Harris learned that his father had died in Adelaide.
Six Australian Federal Police divers, one military, and Dr Harris, supported by a friend from Perth, Craig Challen, were in the rescue effort along with American, British, European and Chinese dive rescue and medical experts.
On Wednesday three of the Australian divers told how the soccer team members were passed "hand to hand" on "sked" stretchers between divers to get them out.
One diver estimated the boys may have passed through 150 pairs of hands in chamber three, after two divers accompanied each of them out of two inner chambers.
The "Wild Boars" team members are recovering in a Chiang Rai hospital.
They were stranded by rising waters 4km into the cave system on June 23, and after being found alive by divers nine days later faced a treacherous journey out through murky water and narrow flooded sections.
The most forbidding part of the journey out of the cave was a U-bend only 30cm wide called "The Choke".
One of the Australian divers said their main job was to move air tanks and other equipment to the end of chamber three where other divers could continue on to extract the boys.
The Australian divers who usually perform "black water", or zero visibility operations, use heavier diving equipment and were limited in their ability to get through smaller spaces.
However, they offered back-up support by checking air tank gauges as they passed and making sure the boys' face masks were properly on.
"For the final three days of the operation we were helping bring the little fellas out. Everyone was given tasks and places to be to assist in handing the young fellas to get them all the way to the front of the cave," one Australian diver said.
Another of the divers said dozens of rescue workers in the cave around 10pm on Tuesday had to flee when pumps holding back water failed, allowing a surge of water just as the last group of Thai navy SEALs was exiting.
He said a roar like a "Mexican wave" echoed along the chamber when the final navy SEAL emerged.
AFP commander Glen McEwen said the biggest challenge for the Australian divers was moving 20 tonnes of industrial-sized pumps, oxygen, medical supplies and food into the labyrinth.
"It's probably the most monumental and inspirational effort they've ever been a part of," he said.

Ding Dong the (Son of a) Bitch Is Dead!
Not going to say much about this character except to say that I would have voted for him if he was running against Clinton and not Trump. The scumbag didn't pretend to be anything other than what he was.
I've a feeling Cuba's about to open up a lot more now. I suggest to any Cubans (Or any of their stateside relatives.) reading this to hold on to your older U.S. made cars. The island may be about to be flooded with car buffs and collectors more than happy to take that "junk" off your hands for cheap ...
Yes I spelled that "right". That's how "cheep" they might be.
Sure, most of those "Yank tanks" have a lot of the original parts replaced and those Russian made diesels powering a lot of them certainly don't raise their value. Howsomever, original '40s/'50s body panels, among other things, may command top prices and some of your rides would make for great restoration projects.
Hold out for top dollar, folks. Otherwise you may be without transportation for a long time.

Yeah, yeah. It's not really God ... er ... Haruhi Suzumiya. Only a very comely cosplayer.
This photo caught my eye and I thought I'd post. Not gonna' tell ya where I got it on the net. I've been a bad boy.
This is to announce that starting sometime in January, I'm going to put more effort into this blog and TRY to get back up to three articles per week. Even if it means posting "any little thing", I'll do it.
Now that the elections are over and EL DONALDO is to be our commander in chief (Libtards eat your miniscule hearts out!), I can relax a bit and concentrate on the original purpose of this blog: The promotion of anime, older movies and Haruhi-ism.
There will still be some political stuff (Screw you, libtards! ... And some of you so-called conservatives as well!) but I'll be more focused on my "hobby".
So ... 'til then ...

The Turning of the Screwed
The Turning of the Screwed
A few thoughts on last Tuesdays'/Wednesdays' miracle. Not all of them to be taken seriously.
In spite of:
Manipulated polls ...
Manipulated media ...
Hollywood ...
Irrelevant celebs threatening to leave ...
A chickenshit Republican political machine ...
Make believe tough guy Robert DiNiro being an asshole ...
Mitt Romney being an even bigger asshole ...
John Kasich being a pledge breaking, pancake sucking asshole ... Remove Kebab!
In spite of the above ...
Donald Trump will be President in January.
And socialism, for the moment, has been knocked on its ass. The New World Order (Or whatever they're calling that hodge podge of conspiracies this week.) has been given a set-back.
But ...
I don't mean to throw cold water on our celebretory spirit ... but ...
Don't get your hopes up too much.
Don't get me wrong. I'm as ecstatic as everyone else right now. Happier than a bakers' dozen of clams in fact.
Howsomever ...
Mr. Trump is only one man. He won't be able to wave a magic wand and fix things immediately or even in a hundred days. Fixing the damage of 8+ years will take some time.
He's going to run into opposition not only from the democrat machine but from some factions in the republican one as well.
I am optimistic though ...
Julian Assange and Wikileaks ... Thank you, thank you, thank you ... THANK YOU!
Some suggestions:
Newt Gingrich for Secretary of State.
Rudolph Giuliani for Attorney General.
Ben Carson for Surgeon General.
Reince Priebus for Chief of Staff.
Jeff Sessions for Secretary of Defense.
General Michael Flynn for National Security Advisor.
Steven Mnuchin for Secretary of the Treasury
Chris Christie for Secretary of Commerce.
Kellyanne Conway for White House Press Secretary.
Melania Trump for Keeping America Beautiful.
Sheriff David Clark for FBI Director.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio for head of the Border Patrol or perhaps INS.
John Kasich for White House Janitor. Don't fall in Johnny! And if you do, by all means, grab that handle. That'll help ya' out! Oh yeah ... Serbia Strong!
Mitt Romney for non-entity ... Oh wait! ... He already is.
MAKE ANIME REAL! ... Providing, of course, it's not something apocalyptic like Neon Genesis Evangelion or hentai.
Serious consideration should be given to the Ambassadorship to Japan. While Carolyn Kennedy Schlossberg proved to be better than originally thought, a better choice would be a no nonsense ex-military man. This would send a message to all in that part of the world that the U.S. takes its relationship with Japan seriously.
Another suggestion would be the author of THE MONSTER MOVIE FANS' GUIDE TO JAPAN, Armand Vaquer. He seems to know more about Japan than most Japanese!
Maybe he'll take the job if he can take his RV with him.
Darn kaiju flicks!

Swipe-style fingerprint scanner reads prints below the surface so dirt and smudges won't interfere. Replaces username/password with fingerprint at Windows log-on. Can require fingerprint to return from screensaver.
Application lock easily defeated in testing. Locked documents readily obtained from temp files using data-recovery software. Password management utility not useful for Web-based passwords.
Bottom Line
The swipe-style fingerprint scanner works well, and using fingerprints for Windows log-on will increase your security. Fingerprint security on return from the screensaver is good, too.
The concept of using fingerprints for identification dates back to the 1800s. Law-enforcement agencies started using them at the beginning of the 1900s. Now with M2SYS Biometric Security Suite, a fingerprint can replace your Microsoft Windows password, control access to applications, and lock your private documents. Fingerprint-based log-on is the suite's high point; some of the other features are disappointing.
Similar Products
The heart of this product is the M2-S1 Swipe Reader. As its name suggests, you swipe your finger along the unit's multiple sensors rather than simply resting it in one place. According to M2SYS, the USB-connected device reads fingerprints below the skin surface, where they remain consistent, even as skin damage, dirt, or other problems might cause problems for another reader.
Installation requires Administrator privilege in Windows 2000 or XP (Vista isn't yet supported). During the process you enter your Windows username and password and also configure a suite-specific administrator name and passwordthese can be used in an emergency to boot the system if something goes wrong with the fingerprint process. To complete the configuration, you enroll from one to five fingerprints. To enroll a finger, you swipe it across the scanner three times when prompted. The system reports a percentage indicating just how successful it was at identifying the "minutiae" that it will use to distinguish this finger from any other. If the percentage is low, you can re-enroll or try a different finger. M2SYS recommends at least 70 percent, but I found it worthwhile to keep trying until I got over 80 percenta lower percentage means a higher chance that the unit won't recognize your finger.
The next step is to register other users of the computer and enroll their fingerprints. These needn't be Administrator users; limited users are okay. And you can register up to 32 people, which is surely more than any single computer should have. At this point, nobody has to enter a username/password to log in. Just walk up to the computer, swipe a finger, and it will log in as the appropriate user. Pretty nice! If you need to boot into Safe Mode, you'll have to use the emergency administrator name and password, as the scanner doesn't work in Safe Mode. Store that emergency log-on data in a safe place.

7 Guiding Principles for Marketing Through Bloggers
Bloggers are the key to online marketing success. They are perceived as reliable, and as providers of quality content. Today there are 130 million blogs, out of about 700 million websites (as of early 2013).
How does the blogger's head work? And what is the appropriate way to get through to them? How do we get relevant bloggers to spread the news about products?
1. Information and Media
Give a wealth of information, including links
Influential bloggers reflect their own personal angle. Also, they do not need skirt around the common denominator, contrary to traditional press, so it is recommended to send as much information as possible – photos, videos, links – so bloggers can generate their own interesting connections and talk bring fresh perspectives to your brand .
2. Community
Remember, Bloggers are community managers
A Blog's audience is a tribe. Some are small, but in fact some tribes include five million readers. The blogger leads his readers like a chief, minding the tribal fire, steering his community towards or around common interest. Hence is it important to send bloggers information specifically relating to their audience.
3. Timing
How to bring traffic to my blog: this is one of the three main tasks of the blogger. Many of them publish a post every day, and promote the post at specific hours, at which they know that their audience online. In addition, they often relate to current and global events, such as holidays, or visiting celebrity abroad. Important content to bloggers by timing is right, depending on your product category.
4. Social Media
Connect blog readers in the right spot
No blog is an island. Whether they like it or not, bloggers today are very active in social networks – this is important both for getting traffic and for maintaining their community. It is therefore important to keep brand pages on social networks. You must be available to them and allow them to connect you to their followers where they are present most of the time.
5. Originality and exclusivity
It follows from the first point above, that the personal perspective of the blogger can grow stronger if he gets the chance to try your product. There are companies that hand out products and / or coupons to bloggers, who in return usually share the experience with their readers. Sometimes they use the coupon as a prize in a draw or a competition among their readers – which would bring even better brand exposure.
6. Relevance – Categories and areas
Bloggers are not part of an editorial desk, and they are dealing only with materials that are of interests them. If they do not have any use of your information, it will not pass on to others. It is therefore important to understand to which content category the blogger belong – make sure they do write about products in the field.
7. New distribution platform – direct from marketers to bloggers
With hundreds of emails received every day, is not easy to bloggers to pay attention to all the news. Direct contact with all the bloggers in your category is a demanding job. There are several platforms available including BlogsRelease which marketers can use to easily distribute information to relevant and interested bloggers.

Grounding is essential for a good functioning of energetic system, like an electrical system needs a connection point to the earth.
It connects your spirit and your mind to your physical body.
After studying the second Level of Reiki my spiritual dimension opened up, the view of myself and world around became much wider; I am already creative but at that time, I remember, I was full of ideas and inspiration.
However I wasn't able to put any idea into action. Like a boat I was floating on the sea without any anchor point.
Then I realised the importance of being grounded.
Grounding allows you to walk your talk, put your ideas into action, concentrate and be present on the things you do.
It is essential for meditation, an anchor point to the physical body, the most common one is the attention into the breathing.
Pay special attention to the grounding when you need extra concentration, when studying an exam, in a job interview, when you are teaching, performing… or if you find yourself in a difficult, unknown or dangerous situation…
It will give you energy, security, support… it gives you a SOLID BASE.
Grounding is as simple as making a conscious connection with the body or the earth.
There are many ways to ground yourself. When we are around nature we feel energised, happy and become more clear minded than in the cities.. Walking bare foot, sitting on the ground, hugging a tree, lying on the beach, walking the dog, eating earthy foods, physical exercise… are some grounding examples.
Here I describe a simple meditation exercise for grounding:
- Sit in a comfortable position with your back straight, the feet on the ground, don't cross your legs.
- Breath calmly and place your attention into your body.
- Imagine dropping a cord from the base of your spine to the centre of the earth.
However it appears is fine, don't judge it, is just an exercise, your intention is what counts on this exercise.
- Observe it.
- Shape the cord as wide as you like to make it solid and strong, you don't want a weak cord.
- Check the attachments at the base of the spine and the centre of the earth, make sure they are well secured, you can imagine a knot, a huge magnet, some roots..
- Clean the internal and external walls imagining a white or golden light flushing down the cord, the light restores any cracks or leaks that the cord might have, it also re-energises it.
I use some Reiki symbols in this moment mostly the power symbol.
- Imagine yourself moving and the cord following you, flexible enough to allow you full range of movement, you don't want a rigid cord, give always a flexible texture to it.
- Now your cord is active and working, feel the contact you have just made with the earth.
- Scan your body and feel if you have any dense or heavy energy, stored emotions giving you trouble; you can imagine the energy as a dense smoke and flush it down the cord to the centre of the earth for regeneration.
Use the meditation of the cord for a few days to see the benefits, if you learn the steps it can be performed any time anywhere.
Use it for releasing new and stored emotions every time you need.

At the Western edge of Swansea Bay lies the fishing village of Mumbles - the twinkling diamond of Swansea! A wonderful combination of historic buildings and modern design create a unique destination where the charming buildings of the village's long history and the modern developments of restaurants, bars and boutique shops seem to blend together perfectly.
Perched above the village is Oystermouth Castle; a Norman military stronghold that still attracts thousands each year thanks to the plays and fairs held in its grounds. It has recently been renovated to include a visitor centre and glass viewing floor for people to explore the inner walls and the castle's secrets. In more recent times, the Mumbles Pier was once the end destination for the local tram, and while the tram has long since closed, the tramway has become a walking and cycle path that leads you out to the Pier. The RNLI have a state of the art facility at the pier and with cafés, bars, restaurants and a number of beaches, it is well worth visiting and be sure to walk out to the end.
With independent, boutique stores dotted through the streets of Mumbles and along the promenade, shopaholics will be spoilt for choice. Men's tailors, women's couture, leisure wear… you name it, Mumbles has it, and you can easily spend a day window shopping if nothing else!
Tracing it's roots back hundreds of years (perhaps longer) as a fishing village, it's no wonder that some of the finest seafood restaurants are located in Mumbles. Alongside the fish restaurants are numerous bars and eateries serving a range of dishes to suit all palates and budgets and with a thriving microbrewery sector, many bars brew or distil their own drinks to offer a truly unique drinking and dining experience. As venues such as Castellamare, La Parilla, Bistro Pierre and many others are situated on the waterfront, you can enjoy good food and drink whilst watching the boats bobbing up and down on the bay.
Whether you are taking the children to the penny slots on the pier, enjoying the delicious homemade ice-creams on sale at Joe's, Fortes and Verdi's or watching the little ones explore the castle; Mumbles is geared up for young families and will not disappoint. For couples, a stroll along the promenade followed by a glass of fizz and a romantic meal for two at one of the many restaurants as the moon rises over the bay is a sure way to create memories that you will both remember forever.

Monica and Patrick's wedding was a simple daytime mass. She and her girls got ready at her mom's house while the guys finished up their final touches at the church, St. Mary's in New Roads.
|I have these same Ariat boots that Monica got married in. They are super comfortable!
The girls wrote on notecards how they knew Monica.
What a pretty church St. Mary's is, and many of my brides who get married here, their parents and siblings also married in this church.
Everyone seemed anxious to be at the front of the line to put all the rice possible on Monica and Patrick.
Um, yes, the jeep was pretty sweet.
Most of her vendors are local people from new roads that do this as hobbies, and her family and friends did all the decorating, but here are the vendors we know.

Jill Kelley's complaint about anonymous, threatening email triggered the investigation that led to US general's downfall
TAMPA, Florida (AP) — If you were to diagram the increasingly tangled sex scandal surrounding former CIA Director David Petraeus, nearly all lines would lead back to one person: Jill Kelley, a 37-year-old Tampa socialite who hosted parties for the nation's top military brass.
The raven-haired woman's complaint about anonymous, threatening email triggered the investigation that led to Petraeus' downfall. And now she is at the center of an investigation of the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan over alleged "inappropriate communications" between the two.
Kelley, whose family left Lebanon for the United States in the 1970s, is a close friend of the Petraeus family, and photographs circulating the Internet show her posing for pictures at parties with Petreaus, his wife, and sometimes her husband, a cancer surgeon. Kelley served as a sort of unofficial social ambassador for U.S. Central Command in Tampa, hosting parties for the general when he was commander there from 2008-10.
She met Gen. John Allen while he was at Central Command, and now investigators are looking at 20,000-plus pages of documents and emails between Kelley and Allen, some of which have been described as "flirtatious." The general has denied any wrongdoing.
For her part, Kelley has taken a low profile since Petraeus' affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell, became public. The Kelleys have hired Washington lawyer Abbe Lowell, who has represented corrupt lobbyist Jack Abramoff and former presidential candidate John Edwards. Lowell did not immediately return a call.
On Tuesday, Kelley could be seen through the large windows of her South Tampa home, a stately two-story brick house with a half-dozen white columns and a manicured lawn. In the driveway was a silver Mercedes with a license plate marked "Honorary Counsel." Kelley's identical twin sister, Natalie Khawam, a lawyer, also lives at the home.
In the afternoon, Kelley, wearing dark sunglasses, left through the front door and ignored reporters' questions as she drove off in the Mercedes.
South Tampa has a conservative Southern upper class, with big houses, big bank accounts, garden clubs and wives who pride themselves on volunteer work. MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, headquarters to Central Command, is a big deal in the community, in part because a lot of the brass lives or socializes in South Tampa. Helping members of the military is a major volunteer activity in the community.
Former Mayor Pam Iorio said that she went to several parties to benefit the military at the Kelleys' home, and they drew MacDill's top brass, including Petraeus. But they were by far not the only parties held around the city for MacDill's officers.
"Our community's relationship with MacDill is just multi-faceted," said Iorio, who later invited the Petraeuses over to her own home for dinner. "It's something that is generational. People sincerely care about the military."
Ken Walters, a neighbor, called the Kelleys good friends, but said he doesn't see them all that often. Walters said he went to a party the couple had to celebrate their first son's baptism. The Kelleys have two other children.
"Natalie and her sister, they're certainly not shrinking violets," he said. Walters recalled that when the sisters first entered the South Tampa social scene, they "rubbed people the wrong way. I think they probably stepped on a couple of toes."
Petraeus' affair with Broadwell was discovered after Kelley told an FBI agent friend that she had received email warning her to stay away from Petraeus. The email turned out to be from Broadwell, who apparently regarded Kelley as a rival for Petraeus' affections. Kelley's family and Petraeus aides have said Petraeus and Kelley were just friends.
In another strange footnote to the scandal, long before the case involving Petraeus got under way, the FBI agent had sent Kelley shirtless photos of himself, according to a federal law enforcement official.
Jill Kelley's brother David Khawam told WPVI-TV in Philadelphia on Monday night that details of the allegations surged fast.
"It's happened extremely quickly, we're talking 12, 24 hours, maximum, since we've found out about this. It's a shock. We're trying to figure out where the pieces are falling right now," Khawam said in the interview done at his offices in Westmont, New Jersey.
He said that his family left Lebanon for Huntingdon Valley in Montgomery County in Pennsylvania in the 1970s to escape turmoil and fighting. His parents opened a Middle Eastern food restaurant in Vorhees, New Jersey, called Sahara.
"My family is very patriotic; we came from Lebanon at a young age," he said.
Kelley later married and moved to Florida with her husband, who works at a cancer clinic.
Kelley regularly kept in touch with Petraeus when he became commander of the Afghanistan war effort, the two exchanging near-daily emails and instant messages, two of his former staffers said. But those messages were exchanged in accounts that his aides monitored as part of their duties and were not romantic in tone, the staffers said.
Jill and Scott Kelley have been involved in at least nine legal actions since arriving in Tampa, according to court records. Most of them involve real estate transactions, including one foreclosure and an $11,000 judgment against the couple in a Pennsylvania case.
In another twist in the scandal, court records indicate that Petraeus and Allen intervened two months ago in a messy custody dispute on behalf of Jill Kelley's sister. Both four-star generals wrote letters supporting Natalie Khawam in a custody battle over her son.
The judge in the case awarded Khawam's ex-husband custody last year of their son. He also called Khawam dishonest and lacking in integrity.

Russia test-fires Intercontinental Ballistic Missile
Russia successfully test-fired an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Tuesday, Fox News confirmed.
The Strategic Rocket Forces launched an RS-12M Topol missile from a region near the Caspian Sea, successfully hitting its target in Kazakhstan.
Defense officials told Fox News the test was "not unexpected" and that "START treaty notification occurred."
Russia is required under the START treaty to notify the U.S. of such tests.
Officials said they got notice of the test launch "days" in advance, in accordance with the treaty.
Earlier this year, the Russian military had announced plans to test around 70 types of rocket and missile weaponry, according to an RIA report.
The tests include about 300 launches of rockets, missiles and aerial drones, according to the report.
The military plans to conduct these tests in southern Russia at the Kapustin Yar range, an area known for tests of tactical ballistic missiles, air defense systems and multiple-launch rocket systems, RIA reported.
Fox News' Justin Fishel and Reuters contributed to this report.

Today, we were able to donate € 3.300 to donations for research into the epilepsy of the Golden and Labrador retriever to the universities of Bern and Helsinki. Thanks again to all donors who have made this possible!
Today, we were able to donate € 3.300 to donations for research into the epilepsy of the Golden and Labrador retriever to the universities of Bern and Helsinki. Thanks again to all donors who have made this possible!
Dear Michael,
Thanks you for your email and I apologize a delayed reply due to a busy start of the Fall time!
Here is a brief summary of the current research status (cc Riika, my PhD student in the project).
We currently have >1000 blood samples from Labrador Retrievers in our gene bank, partly collected together with our collaborators Dr. Helena Niehof-Oellers (Düsseldorf, Germany) and Prof. Tosso Leeb (University of Bern, Switzerland). This cohort includes ~200 epileptic or suspected epileptic dogs. We keep collecting more all the time.
We have studied now 171 Labradors, including 123 epileptic (or suspected) and 48 epilepsy-free dogs. We have analyzed the genomes of the 171 dogs (genoptyping with 172 000 SNPs or DNA markers) and have started to compare the data between epileptic and non-epileptic dogs to find the genetic cause. We have not found yet a major breakthrough but data analysis is still ongoing using various statistical approaches. We are also rechecking the phenotypes of the dogs to better categorize them in the analyses. The clinical phenotype is somewhat varaible between the dogs and we need to be careful in how to handle them in the analysis. We consult veterinary neurologist to learn more.
We have also palnned a new experiment to read the entire genomes of a subcohort of epileptic dogs (n=~30) that are related to each other and present clnically similar epilepsy phenotype. This analysis has much higher resolution into the genome and should reveal regions and candidate mutations that all epileptic dogs share and could be then further validated to understand how they relate to the disease. We hope to start the experiment within this month to get genome data back for bioinformatic analyses in next two months.
We are very grateful to Labrador Retriever owners and breeders who have participated in the study! We continue collecting samples for the project and all new samples and welcome particiaption from any new cases that you become aware. We want to solve this disease mystery for the breed and other breeds.
We are also grateful to your previous and possible future donations that help to run this project! Please let me know if you need any further information.
Thanks you and best regards,
(Prof. Hannes Lohi)

Donations in the amount of € 9.000,- were transferred to the institutes of genetics at the universitys Bern and Helsinki in the end of octobre.
Prof. Hannes Lohi wrote:
"Warm thanks Michael! We are expecting the frst genetic data back next week from about 200 dogs soon to start analyses to locate the epilepsy gene in Labradors.
And Prof. Leeb:
"Dear Mr. Golz,
many thanks for this great donation.
Kind regards,
Tosso Leeb"
Once more many thanks to all of you that made this possible!!
Once more a reason to say thank you VERY much!

For the past few days, I've thought a lot about how the actor, Geoffrey Owens has been in the limelight after a shopper at Trader Joe's snapped photos of Owens working the cash register wearing his name tag. The lady then went on to submit the pictures to various celebrity websites, apparently with the hopes of stirring something up.
I have fond memories of watching Geoffrey when he appeared as Elvin Tibideaux on the Cosby Show all those years ago. Although I have to confess, I had to Google his characters last name for this article; I could only remember, "Elvin."
When I watched several interviews, I was impressed by the honesty and sincerity with which Mr. Owens spoke. Below is one such interview:
I know where Mr. Owens is coming from; I have been in the entertainment business for more than thirty years as an actor, comedian, writer, and magician. To support my family and me, I have worked temp jobs, sold advertising, sold copiers and computers, so many other jobs I can't even recall. In the nineties, after reaching a level of success to which I didn't expect to have to go back to a "real" job, I found myself cleaning carpets for Stanley Steemer Carpet Cleaning Company.
It was a humbling experience for me, and I've had nowhere near the level of success Geoffrey Owens has and most likely never will. Showbusiness is fickle, and no one should enter into it if they are driven purely for money. It is not a 9-5, weekly paycheck business. Good for Geoffrey for taking an honest job to support his family between gigs and not being ashamed when attention was brought to it.
The irony of the situation is that the very people attempting to job-shame Geoffrey has boosted his status back into the celebrity realm. He will no doubt, be again working as an actor very soon and we will all be the better for it.

Dairy cows show specific changes in behaviour several weeks prior to calving which could be used as a way to predict and prevent different transition diseases, according to new research from Spain.
Speaking at the recent TotalDairy Seminar in Gloucestershire, Professor Sergio Calsagmiglia from The University of Barcelona, said he was "confident" that looking at behaviour and time budgets in the run up to calving could be a useful predictor of disease around calving. This could enable automated systems to be developed that would allow targeted treatment of at risk cows, which would lower costs and increase treatment success.
"I can tell at least 20 days in advance whether she will have a problem. A cow that will be sick will spend less time at the feed bunk, have less feed bunk visits, less standing/lying swaps, take less steps and lie down for longer," he said.
Pedometers and a specially designed feed fence that monitored feed bunk visits were used in the trial on a 1,500 cow dairy near Barcelona. It highlighted that cows that went on to develop metritis at caving showed a strong reduction in time in front of the feed bunk and less steps, three weeks prior to calving. Cows that developed retained foetal membranes also had reduced time at the feed bunk and increased standing times. The patterns in time budgets were shown to be unique, depending on the disease developed around calving (see table).
Another study also showed a similar behavioural link to periparturient disease. For example, you could tell one week in advance if a cow was going to develop subclinical ketosis.
Professor Calsagmiglia explained: "The number of visits and time at the feed bunk can tell you two weeks in advance if there there is a high chance of her getting subclinical ketosis."
With this experiment also showing that calving could be accurately predicted within two hours of the event using a pedometer, Professor Calsagmiglia said in the future the two parameters could be combined so that propylene glycol could be administered at exactly the right time, for example.< Back to All Articles

As low pressure systems form an orderly queue in the Atlantic and await their turn to buffet the shores of Albion the nation's journalists sharpen pencils and perform wrist exercises in preparation for the long hours to be spent at the keyboard. The rain shows no sign of abating and continues fall on an already saturated catchment. Further floods seem inevitable and how fortunate for hacks that they can use much of the same flood copy, give or take a bit of mild editing, to describe the arrival of our Romanian and Bulgarian comrades. All these people from small countries of which we know little, but small countries mind you with surprisingly large populations, all these people will "flood" in. There will be a "deluge" of Bulgarians and a veritable tsunami of Romanians battering our island home, seeping into the very foundations of our national culture. And so on, and on and on.
There is no escaping the fact that a large influx of new arrivals places a burden on infrastructure but it is nothing that a wealthy country like UK can't cope with given the political will. Anyway, reading the reports coming out of this country most potential immigrants may well conclude that Britain is such a senile, miserable, moaning, inhospitable and unwelcoming dump that they might be better off staying put.

Korean War
British Dictionary definitions for korean war
Cultural definitions for korean war
A war, also called the Korean conflict, fought in the early 1950s between the United Nations, supported by the United States, and the communist Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea). The war began in 1950, when North Korea invaded South Korea. The United Nations declared North Korea the aggressor and sent military aid to the South Korean army. President Harry S. Truman declared the war a "police action" because he never asked Congress to pass an official declaration of war. He thereby established a precedent for President Lyndon Johnson, who committed troops to the Vietnam War without ever seeking a congressional mandate for his action.
General Douglas MacArthur commanded the United Nations troops, who were mostly from the United States. The tide turned against North Korea with the landings at Inchon, and its troops were pushed back into the north; but reinforcements from the People's Republic of China soon allowed the North Koreans to regain lost territory. In 1953, with neither side having a prospect of victory, a truce was signed. In the course of the war, President Truman removed MacArthur from his command for insubordination. (See Truman-MacArthur controversy.)

"Susan, choosing you to be our agent was the best thing we did! You made the whole home-selling process pleasant and painless. Many thanks to you and your team!" N and J, Boston, MA
"Susan is an absolute gem of a realtor and a joy to work with - a knowing guide, staunch advocate, and kind soul. She truly has a gift for what she does and I unhesitatingly recommend her." D.F., Kirkland
"I've worked with several real estate agents over the years, and I can say that Susan is BY FAR the most professional agent I've worked with. We have purchased two properties with Susan's help, and we would not consider working with another realtor in the Seattle or Eastside area--no one else compares!" T and R, Issaquah
"We highly recommend Susan Gardner's services when listing and/or purchasing real estate. We have done both with Susan - at the same time - and Susan's diligence in managing our listing through tricky HOA dealings while coordinating the purchase of our new home, has been the best real estate agent experience in many years of buying and selling houses. Susan was able to keep all parties involved on track and was resourceful and tenacious when dealing with challenges along the way. Susan's natural inclination to go above and beyond, no matter what time of day (or night!) as well as her superb attention to detail; professionalism and follow through has made it a delight to have Susan on our side. !" K and P, Issaquah/Talus
"Susan Gardner is an amazing realtor who literally made miracles happen. She provided unparalleled service and professional guidance through every step of the sale of my home and through the transaction. She performs excellently under pressure, is a seasoned marketer, and a true pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Susan if you want results!" K.B., Issaquah
"This is our third transaction with Susan and we couldn't be more pleased! She previously successfully marketed and sold our two properties in a struggling market, after two other realtors had tried to do so unsuccessfully. When it was time for us to buy, she listened to our needs, and skillfully negotiated an amazing offer for us on a beautiful, high-end home. Susan went the extra mile to assure a successful transaction in a win-win way. We are absolutely confident in Susan and her abilities to represent us, both as a buyer's and a seller's agent. Thank you, Susan, for being such an amazing realtor!" M and R, Issaquah/Talus
"I just purchased a new house in Seattle through my real estate agent, Susan Gardner. This is my seventh real estate purchase over the course of my adult life. I must say that circumstances are much different now than when I purchased my last home a few years ago in Spokane. Everything is stricter and requirements on several ends are more numerous. In spite of all of that, Susan was very instrumental in allowing things to move along smoothly every step of the way. I am particularly thankful for her flexibility in accommodating my schedule, as my work demands a lot of time which frequently is unpredictable. Susan is very knowledgeable about real estate and all the necessary requirements, laws, and rules there are to comply with. And she explained everything to me in a way that made it easy to understand. She was also respectful of my needs and means, was very resourceful, and would get information to me in a timely fashion. She had the capacity to understand what I was looking for and to "visualize" the home that I was envisioning. Thanks to Susan, this home purchase, which could have been stressful, was actually a fun, enjoyable and productive experience. I would not hesitate in recommending her for your real estate needs." D.S., Seattle
"Susan was a joy to work with! She was very organized, and as first-time buyers, we felt at ease with her knowledge of the buying and selling process. We had an atypical sale, but Susan continued to follow-up with the bank and other parties involved and made things work. She went above and beyond in her service. Without Susan we would not have found our new home, and at an excellent price. We most definitely recommend Susan as an excellent agent and will use her again!" C and S, Issaquah/Klahanie

The Shaykh حفظه الله began with a definition of 'ilm (knowledge). In the Arabic language it means 'understanding' or 'knowing', and its Sharee'ah (legislation) meaning is: 'knowing the Deen (Religion) of Islaam with evidences' .
From amongst the best of what I am aware of regarding the definition of knowledge is what al-Haafidh Ibn Rajab رحمه الله has mentioned in his book The Virtues of the Knowledge of the Salaf above the Knowledge of the Khalaf. He رحمه الله said concerning knowledge:
" Knowledge is light which is cast into the heart. With it the servant understands the truth, and with it he distinguishes between truth and falsehood; and he articulates this with concise expressions which achieve the intent (goal)"
The meaning of "light which is cast into the heart" is not from the realm of inspiration, or that an individual awakes from sleep or from inattentiveness and then finds knowledge in his chest. However, it is with an abundance of seeking knowledge and 'ibaadah (worship) and a desire to follow the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه و سلم, and to act upon this knowledge , put it into practice and teach it to the people. This is one of the highest stations of subservience to Allaah سبحانه و تعالى . So if a servant fulfils this, Allaah سبحانه و تعالى casts into his heart understanding of the Qur'aan and the Sunnah and makes him from the People of Understanding.

Tomorrow sees the start of the most eagerly anticipated series in the last five years of test cricket. England, the world's number one take on South Africa, who are ranked No.3, in a series effectively to decide who is the best team in the world. Australia maybe ranked second, but the utter disdain with which they were beaten by England in Australia 18 months ago makes a slight mockery of the rankings.
The fact that England and South Africa are contesting just a three test series has been argued long and hard, there is nothing that can be done now, the main effect it has is that both teams have no warm up and must hit the first test at full steam. Both sides know each other very well and are very settled in all formats of the game. Both possess easily the best two bowling attacks in the world. For cricket played in English conditions, England and South Africa would make up a world XI. Its not just the fact that these two sides are so good, it's the fact that recent series have always had some added bite to them, neither side likes losing, especially to the other.
Bet365 Bet: Series Winner:
11/10 England, 21/10 South Africa, 14/5 Draw
England, the undisputed world No.1 test side, have not lost a home series since they were beaten by South Africa in 2008, and they have not lost a single test match at home since 2010 to Pakistan. The fact that South Africa was the last side to beat them at home will only add to their desire to win. Besides a major blip in Pakistan over the winter, England have dominated all comers for the last 3 years, including Australia away. Earlier this summer they dispatched a youthful West Indies side 2-0, in an ideal preparation for this series.
England have countless match winners in their side, and their side appears to be almost faultless. Their batting is as strong as it could be, and has an ideal blend of technically astute batsmen and strokemakers. Alistair Cook and Kevin Pietersen are undoubtedly the key for England, and they regularly seem to bat very well together. If they are able to spend sufficient time together at the crease then England will do well. In their bowling attack England have three of the top 8 bowlers in the world game, in Anderson, Broad and Swann, their fourth bowler, Tim Bresnan has only played one test match which England didn't win.
Having heard the first half of the story, it seems that England are comfortable favourites, sadly this is not the case. South Africa are not third in the world for nothing, and they have not lost a test series since 2009, when Australia beat them. More remarkably they have not lost an away test series since 2006, when they lost in Sri Lanka. Their batting line-up possesses four of the top 10 batsman in the world, and they will most probably have JP Duminy batting as low as number seven.
However their preparations for the first test which starts on thursday at the Oval, took a severe hit last week, when wicket-keeper Mark Boucher was forced to have emergency treatment after being struck by a bail in the eye in a freak accident. He has subsequently flown home, and retired from all forms of cricket. Boucher has been a rock of the South African side for a long time, and his absence so close to the first test will surely have had an impact on his countries preperations. Luckily for South Africa, AB De Villiers is a more than handy replacement, who actually keeps in one-day cricket. The question is how he will adapt to test cricket, where he might have to keep for two days, as opposed to 50 overs?
If their batting line up is strong then their bowling is equally so. They have three bowlers in the top 10 in the world, and in Jacques Kallis, they have one of the best all-rounders in the history of the game. If they have a weakness it may be spinner Imran Tahir, who is inexperienced in the test arena. He has however played a few years of county cricket in England.
Test Series Betting Tips Verdict
The first test takes place at The Oval, and with the recent run of weather in the UK, rain is likely to play its part. The Oval is also probably the best batting track in England, and the combination of this and potential bad weather means a draw is likely as both sides will want to make sure they do not find themselves 1-0 down in such a short series.
1st Test Prediction: Draw. Available at 11/8 with Bet365 Bookmaker.
Series Prediction: 1-0 England. Available at 5/1 with Bet365 Bookmaker.

Statement from the Partnership for Open & Fair Skies on the Election of Donald Trump
Washington, D.C. (November 9, 2016) – Today, the Partnership for Open & Fair Skies issued the following statement regarding the election of President-elect Donald Trump.
"We look forward to briefing President-elect Donald Trump and his new administration on the massive, unfair subsidies that the UAE and Qatar give to their state-owned Gulf carriers," said Jill Zuckman, chief spokesperson for the Partnership for Open and Fair Skies. "The Gulf carrier subsidies threaten the jobs of 300,000 U.S. aviation workers and the American aviation industry as a whole, and we are optimistic that the Trump administration will stand up to the UAE and Qatar, enforce our trade agreements and fight for American jobs."

Major investor in PetroNeft sells 6pc holding in company
A MAJOR investor in PetroNeft Resources has sold its 6pc holding in the oil exploration firm.
The Macquarie Bank traded its 42.9 million shares for 5.37 pence last week.
The vast majority of the stock was taken by a large institutional investor, which is understood to be a shareholder with a small stake in the firm.
The remainder of the shares, which were placed by Davy, went to small private clients.
They were bought for 5.37 pence, below todays price which remained steady at 5.55 pence in London.
PetroNeft had told the Irish Stock Exchange it had received notification from Macquarie Group Limited, on behalf of Macquarie Bank Limited, that following market trades on 18 July 2014 "it no longer holds a notifiable interest in the issued share capital of PetroNeft".
Last month the oil and gas exploration firm received regulatory approval from Russian authorities to farm out a licence there to Oil India.

A brokerage fee is the fee that is paid to a broker for performing a transaction. The brokers might be dealing in online trading, negotiations, delivery services, housing and property deals or advice on the transactions.
Consider there are 1000 shares of a company that the trader would like to purchase at Rs. 50 per share. If the broker charges 4% of the traded value as brokerage fee, the transaction cost would be:
Rs. 50*1000 shares= Rs. 50,000 plus Rs. 50,000*0.04= Rs. 2, 000 (addition because fee charged is also added to the cost of purchasing the shares)
The total transaction cost would be Rs. 52,000
In case these shares are to be sold and it is worth Rs. 75 per share, then the transaction cost would be:
Rs. 75*1000= Rs. 75,000 minus Rs. 75,000*0.04= Rs. 3, 000 (subtraction because fee would be charged from the profit)
The total transaction cost would now come up to Rs. 72,000
The total profit from this transaction would be 75,000 - 50,000= Rs. 25,000 i.e. 50% if there was no brokerage fee.
But, with the brokerage fee, the total profit would be: 72,000 - 52,000 = Rs. 20,000 i.e. 38.4%
This means that about 11.6% of the profit is brokerage fee which is loss to the trader.
There are three types of paying a brokerage fee. Consider the example of online trading:
a. Payment as the Trading occurs:
The fee is paid as a percentage of the trade that the trader does. Consider the example of a broker who charges 0.3% for trading. This means that for every Rs. 100 worth shares that are being traded, 30 paise is charged as brokerage fee.
There might be an option of some minimum amount of fee till a pre decided number of shares. Say, Rs. 40 for the first Rs. 75, 000 worth shares. After this amount, the 0.3% fee comes into picture.
b. Prepaid Fee
A pre fixed amount is paid in advance to the broker in order to trade. This might even have a validity time. But, the more amount that is paid in advance, the lower would be the overall fee. Consider the example where Rs. 5000 is being paid in advance. This means that the brokerage fee might reduce to 0.05% instead of a high 0.3%.
c. Fixed Fee
This concept is different from the prepaid fee because a fixed amount would have to paid at a time to the broker. That is, the size of trading is not important.
If there is a trade of only one share during the day and a fee of Rs. 1000 had to be paid, this means that the brokerage fee is unreasonably high. This method is used only by traders who deal in large amounts and feel this payment would reduce their fee instead of a 'Payment as the Trade occurs' option.
Different brokers charge different fees. So, depending on the requirement, selecting the right method and the right method is essential to obtain profits.
Hence, this concludes the definition of Brokerage Fee along with its overview.
