When renting from Rentco is the way to go
For any company large or small, the decision to rent or buy commercial vehicles is complex and must consider your specific business needs and finances. Investing in a fleet of vehicles ties up a lot of capital and can impact on cash flow. When you add in the cost of servicing the loan, ongoing vehicle servicing and maintenance, insurance, vehicle registration and tyres and spare parts, renting a vehicle as and when you need it, makes good economic sense.
Occasional hire
A local metal fabrication company make and install large public open space installations. Rather than have a truck sitting idle for weeks at a time, they choose to hire a rental vehicle which is suitable for the specific project. For oversize pieces, a flat bed trailer is the perfect option. For smaller pieces such as street furniture, a small truck with a hydraulic ramp ticks all the boxes. Rentco offers great short term hire rates which offer your business the flexibility it needs without the big cash outlay.
Medium term hire
There are times of the year when Rentco customers have peak demand periods. This is when it makes sense to supplement their own vehicles with a hire truck from Rentco. A Rentco Tipper Truck is an invaluable piece of kit for landscapers for the 3 months leading up to Christmas. With a generous 14 cubic metre body, hire a tipper truck from Rentco allows you to stay productive and get the job done fast and efficiently. The two-way tailgate is a smart design feature that allows the tailgate to be easily switched between side or top-hinged providing versatile unloading in tight spaces. Rentco offers very competitive rates for medium term tipper truck hire.
Long Term hire
When your business needs access to a reliable fleet of modern commercial vehicles, trucks or trailers,
Rentco is sure to accommodate you from its fleet of specialty commercial vehicles. Rentco has one of the largest ranges of specialised trucks and trailers in Australia and we're still growing. From mining trucks, trucks for building and construction, to smaller trucks for deliveries. We're sure to have something to fit the bill, and our competitive long term rental rates mean we look after your bottom line as well.
The Rentco difference
We are proud to operate a fleet of modern hire vehicles that undergo a multi-point safety check before they leave any of our nation wide depots. We have a staff of experienced and qualified technicians who service and maintain our fleet in-house, so our customers know when they pick up a truck from Rentco it ready to get the job done.
We've built our business reputation on customer service, we are committed to offering competitive rates for short or longer term hire with the bonus of 24/7 national breakdown support service.
With Rentco outlets in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Townsville and Darwin, you enjoy good old fashioned local service, with the benefit of a national network

Israel Opens Gaza Border to Most Goods
Israel is easing its blockade of Hamas-ruled Gaza to allow in virtually all consumer goods, items from household cleaners to timber that had been barred from import for years.
But because Israel will continue to ban most travel and exports and restrict the import of desperately needed construction materials, the new rules are unlikely to restore the territory's devastated economy or allow rebuilding of all that was destroyed in last year's war.
The White House welcomed the changes that were announced Monday as Prime Minister Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flew to Washington for a meeting with President Obama. International Mideast envoy Tony Blair said Israel's measures "should have a dramatic influence on the daily lives of the people of Gaza and on the private sector."
Obama Netanyahu will head into the White House Tuesday with the same stated goal: to move the Israelis and Palestinians to resume face-to-face peace talks.
Analysis: Obama, Netanyahu Will Learn They Need Each Other
Netanyahu on Sunday endorsed the U.S. call for direct talks between the two parties, just days after White House officials said Obama would push during the Oval Office session for those negotiations to get under way sooner rather than later.
Addressing his cabinet on Sunday, Netanyahu said the "time has come" for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to get ready to meet with the Israelis "because there is no other way to advance peace… I hope this will be one of the results of the visit to Washington."
Aides to Obama have told reporters that weeks of shuttle diplomacy between the two sides by George Mitchell, Obama's special envoy to the Middle East, had paid off and "the gaps have narrowed."
"We believe there are opportunities to further narrow those gaps, to allow the sides to take that next step to direct talks," added Daniel Shapiro, the senior Middle East director at the National Security Council.
The new blockade rules come in response to an outcry following a deadly Israeli raid on a blockade-busting flotilla at the end of May.
Gaza business leaders and rights activists said the measures are far short of what Gaza needs, and that the only active cargo crossing, Kerem Shalom, may not be enough to bring in all the goods now permitted.
Israeli officials said the remaining restrictions, including on exports, are essential for maintaining security.
On Monday, goods dropped off at Kerem Shalom included washing machines, which were previously banned from import. Aid supplies that had been transported on the intercepted flotilla also found their way to the crossing, including previously banned mattresses.
Israel started restricting movement of people and goods in and out of Gaza after the 2006 capture of an Israeli soldier, Sgt. Gilad Schalit, by Hamas-allied militants. A year later, when the Islamic militant Hamas overran Gaza, Israel - backed by Egypt - imposed a fuller closure, allowing in only a few dozen types of humanitarian goods like basic foods and medicine.
Israel says it will lift the blockade if Hamas releases the soldier, recognizes Israel and renounces violence. Hamas, which is considered a terror organization by the U.S., Israel and the European Union, has rejected those terms.
Gaza Flotilla Inquiry to Question Israeli PM
Obama Says Mideast Situation is "Unsustainable"
Obama, who is hosting Netanyahu at the White House on Tuesday, has said the blockade is unsustainable and demanded that it be eased significantly. Other world leaders have asked for a complete lifting of the border closure.
White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said Monday that the new procedure "will make a significant improvement in the lives of people in Gaza, while keeping weapons out of the hands of Hamas."
Israel said Monday that it began easing restrictions in the last two weeks and will continue to implement changes over the coming weeks. It published a list of goods it will continue to ban from Gaza, with everything else now permitted.
The banned items include weapons and "dual use" goods Israel fears might be diverted by Gaza militants for military purposes, such as fertilizers, gas tanks, drilling equipment and water disinfectant.
Construction materials such as cement, steel cables and concrete blocks will be permitted into Gaza only for projects supervised by international aid agencies. The internationally funded construction of schools, sewage treatment plants and housing projects in Gaza has largely been on hold since 2006, but Israeli officials promised to work quickly now to deliver the supplies.
Aid groups estimate than Gaza needs another 86,000 housing units - mostly to account for population growth, but also to replace thousands of apartments that were destroyed during last year's Gaza war and previous Israeli military offensives.
Israel has made a serious effort to make a "very clear distinction between the security needs of Israel, that we are committed to keep, and everything else," said Yossi Gal, director general of Israel's Foreign Ministry.
However, Sari Bashi of the Israeli human rights group Gisha said the benefit to Gaza will be limited.
"Gaza residents can now purchase Israeli-made products, but they are still prevented from engaging in dignified, productive work and from traveling," she said.
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri dismissed Israel's new policy as "worthless," demanding that the blockade be lifted entirely.
Gaza, a strip of land 6 miles wide and 25 miles long and populated by 1.5 million Palestinians, has been occupied by Israelis since the 1967 Mideast war. Israel withdrew from the territory in 2005, almost two years before the Hamas takeover. Israel closely regulates what goes in and out in an effort to weaken the group and prevent it from receiving weapons and explosives.
All goods will be funneled through Kerem Shalom, Israel's main cargo crossing into Gaza, and Israel does not plan to reopen additional passages it used before the blockade.
Kerem Shalom consists of three paved lots, each ringed by walls of cement slabs, as well as one opening to the Israeli side and another to the Gaza side.
In the morning, Israeli trucks unload the goods in the paved areas, then withdraw back to Israel. Once the Israelis have cleared out, Palestinian truckers arrive from the Gaza side to pick up the merchandise. Israel instituted the measures as a result of attacks by Palestinian militants on the crossing.
In recent weeks, about 140 truckloads a day have passed through the crossing, but Israel hopes to increase the volume to about 250 in coming weeks, said Maj. Gen. Eitan Dangot, the top liaison officer with the Palestinians. Gisha, the human rights group, said that even at the expanded capacity Kerem Shalom could supply only about 70 percent of Gaza's daily needs.
The ban on the import of raw materials and exports forced most of Gaza's 3,900 factories to shut down, wiping out tens of thousands of jobs. Raw materials not on the banned list will now be allowed to enter Gaza, but exports will continue to be banned, with the exception of small seasonal shipments of strawberries and flowers.
In justifying the export ban, Israel points to a suicide bomber who blew himself up in an Israeli port after hiding between the double walls of a shipping container to get there.
Israel permits several hundred Gazans to leave the territory each month, most of them seeking medical treatment in Israel or abroad. Another restricted group can leave via Egypt, which eased travel after the flotilla clash. However, the vast majority of Gazans remain confined to the territory.
The family of Schalit, meanwhile, has renewed its campaign for the soldier's release. Around 15,000 Israelis marched through Tel Aviv on Monday, snarling traffic in the country's economic center, calling on their government to conclude a prisoner swap deal for Schalit.
Later in the day, internationally renowned conductor Zubin Mehta held a symphony concert for Schalit near the Gaza border, and asked Hamas to allow the Red Cross to visit the soldier for the first time.
"We hope and we pray that the music will inspire people on the other side to open their hearts," Mehta told the audience of thousands.

The aim of Redactor is to be a tool that helps check text with a variety of best practice based tests.
While the test configuration is opinionated, inquisitive users may change and override the defaults.
Initially, users run the tool locally, in the future we plan a remote (maybe commercialized) service triggered by user actions such as a CLI command or Git push.
The tool is a wrapper that triggers tests that run in containers taken from rackpart, and those containers generate output.
We aim to create a combined and unified output that processes those outputs into something more readable and provides an indication of the docs quality.
For now, redactor runs arbitrarily defined tests. Future versions will ask a user what tests they want to run.
Further into the future we may consider GUIs for the configuration and output.
You can find other ideas in our issue queue.
User Spec¶
redactor [command] [options]
Redactor runs in your current folder, there is no
--path parameter.
This mounts the folder into each container, including all subfolders.
Each test only handles the file types relevant to the test.
Redactor sends the results of the tests to a temporary container.
That container takes the input, as JSON if possible, but if not, it converts what it receives to JSON.
The container takes this JSON, processes, groups, sanitizes (to be defined), calculates rating and creates a new JSON file.
The container then serves that JSON as HTML, or returned to the user depending on the
--format they specified.

Working with Stan Sherman has been one of the most beneficial experiences I have had in a long time. Stan bring a fresh and insightful perspective to all our conversations. He has the uncanny ability to ask the right questions at the right time. He guides more than tells and truly cares about the outcome. In addition, Stan's broad experience in business, leadership development, team building and communication have been invaluable.
Paul I. Brody
Excelsior Gaming LLC
I reached out to Stanley asking for help with a customized team building program for our Senior Leadership Team as well as our Regional Sales Managers. I was very impressed with the process from start to finish. Stanley did an excellent job of taking a great deal of time upfront to clearly understand the goals and objectives for our workshop. He had numerous calls with the meeting participants, as well as myself, to have a clear understanding of where individuals stood on multiple topics. This helped Stanley to quickly uncover current areas of strength as well as areas of opportunity amongst our leadership team. He did an excellent job of presenting the customized program and explaining the 'why' behind it. Stanley exceeded my expectations. He more than succeeded in accomplishing the task at hand. Our team was brought ot an entirely different level as a direct result of the program Stanley put together. I found him to be extremely professional, polite, focused and hard working from beginning to end. I look forward to utilizing Stanley in the future and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to facilitate change and growth within an organization.
Lisa Provenzano
National Director of Training Development
I engaged in leadership coaching and conflict resolution for 3 months with Stanley Sherman. The process was educational, and enjoyable with results. The program is action oriented which assists with staying on course. Stan possesses an innate ability to provide insight from a global viewpoint, while making the environment safe for all participants. His knowledge, sensitivity business and leadership skills are invaluable. The process has led me to a higher level of self awareness, improve my leadership abilities and align myself within the organization to excel and maximize those strengths, while maintaining a good balance with the team. The program helps one to understand and embrace each other's differences and insights for a common shared purpose, while partnering that process with strategic results. I have immensely enjoyed the process and most importantly, am pleased with the results of this powerful program.
Lisa L. Miles
Chief Financial Officer
Lucky Eagle Casino
Stanley Sherman was engaged by the Lucky Eagle Casino to assist with conflict resolution issues that existed with our staff. He recommended that the staff go through a customized version of the Team Advantage Team Building course. Stanley has an unequivocal ability to communicate and takes a natural leadership role, allowing him to teach and guide with ease. He was extremely organized and reliable throughout the whole process, and constantly worked hard for our every need. The coaching received coupled with a measurable matrix, provided us with amazing results. I feel confident in giving Stanley the highest recommendation because he is not only thorough, but also extremely easy to work with.

Who doesn't like little hamburgers? Well I am sure there are a couple of people out there but we will not talk about them. Whether it be Krystal or White Castle or somewhere else they all have something in common. They are yummy little bites of joy. Since the only Krystal left in town closed and I did not want to go to a sit down restaurant to get these little burgers I decided to make them myself. They are a bit of work to make and take some time to get them all prepped and ready to eat, but in the end they are well worth it and fun if you are having guests over.
So this is how I did it.
2lbs lean ground beef
2 packs Kings Hawaiian Rolls (butter flavored) cut in half like little buns.
1 medium white onion (diced into small pieces)
a jar of hamburger pickle slices
1/4 stick of butter
salt and black pepper
Condiments (Ketchup, Mustard, Mayo, Etc)
1 pack thin sliced sharp cheddar cheese (optional)
You can do the patties a couple of different ways. I pressed out a thin layers of ground beef onto my cutting board ( about 1/4″ thin) and cut it into 3″x3″ squares. Then take the parts you cut off add it back the rest of the beef and repeat until all of the beef is used. Or you can just press out each patty about the same size and not worry about them being square. I just happened to be feeling a little nostalgic for the little square Krystal burgers.
Cut all of the rolls in half to look like little buns and place on a plate. I will get into how to steam those easily in a minute.
If you want cheese on your sliders just cut several cheese slices into quarters. This should make small cheese slices that fit perfectly on your little burgers.
First heat a large frying pan to medium high heat and add the butter and let it melt. Now add the diced onion and cook until they start to turn clear then transfer them to a bowl. In the same pan cook your patties to a nice dark brown. I would normally never tell you to press the patties with a spatula because it just pushes all the yummy juices out of them but these are small thin patties and you want them to stay thin. The patties do not take long to cook, about 3 to 4 minutes per side then transfer them to a plate. While the last few patties are cooking take the plate of buns and cover them with a damp paper towel (damp not wet). Place them into the microwave for about 45 seconds. This will warm them and steam them a little making them nice and soft.
Now comes the fun part.
One by one take a bun separate the halves. Spoon a nice spoonful of onion onto the bottom half then place a burger on top, add a slice of cheese (if you want) and then a small squirt of mustard or whatever condiment you like. I went with mustard to more closely mimic the Krystal burgers. Now place two to three pickle slices on top and add the other half of the bun to finish it off. Repeat this until you have no more patties. If you have an odd number of buns to patties you can always double up and make double sliders. But only if you are feeling daring.
Put a couple on a plate and add some fries and you are ready to go. This is fun for a get together of friends or a special treat if you are home alone and have some time to kill. Enjoy.
Thanks for reading

Some thoughts I have on Cassius Winston.
– Cash is the purest point guard we've recruited in a long, long time. In fact, I'd say in terms of pure instinct for the position and everything that goes with it, you have to go back to Cleaves to find someone in the same ballpark. That doesn't mean he is or will end up as a better player than Neitzel, Lucas or Appling…just that right now, at the same age, he has better instincts for running a team and quarterbacking an offense than they had. I don't even think that exists in the realm of opinion…seems to be fact to me.
-Cash isn't a flashy point guard. Anyone expecting to see a smaller version of Denzel is going to be disappointed. His strength is decision making, plain and simple. His vision is outstanding and he makes the right pass, not the spectacular one. I think at MSU he'll commit some turnovers because the offense is going to produce that…MSU forces you to take more risks than other programs and the price for it is the occasional mistake. However, I have zero doubt that this kid will mitigate those errors as much as anyone you could be plugging into that spot. That ability to see things develop early and make the right decision is what caused Izzo to put him in the conversation with Magic as a high school passer. Again, he doesn't have nearly that kind of razzle dazzle to his game but in terms of seeing things develop sooner than others and delivering the ball to the right guy at the right time in the right spot? Yeah, I get where Iz was going with that, even if it's a touch hyperbolic.
– His supposed weakness as a shooter is overblown. He has a funky release, that's true. It's not the worst I've ever seen by a long shot…we're not talking Eric Snow reconstructive surgery or anything. The narrative on him in this area hasn't quite caught up to the facts on the ground, as he made real strides over the last 12 months with his jumper. I noted the other day that he shot 45% from three in EYBL play. While I don't have access to his numbers from UD's season, having seen him play live three times last year, I can tell you that he's just fine as a jump shooter. It will not end up as a major weakness, no doubt in my mind about that. I expect he'll make gradual improvement over time as most MSU players do with their shots, but he's starting from a pretty decent place already, so pay no attention to noise which suggests anything else.
– His real strength offensively is as a penetrator and finisher, though. He does not have elite quickness or size but those things aren't necessarily prerequisites to be an effective penetrator at the collegiate level. In recent Big Ten history, I don't think there was any better penetrator than Trey Burke. Burke was neither particularly quick nor was he any bigger than Cash (he's actually a bit smaller, I think), yet he was successful because he had a good handle, knew how to vary speeds, shifting up and down a gear as needed, and he understood space and angles and how to use them. Cash is very, very crafty and effective in finishing in traffic and through contact. I've seen him do it against good size, so I have no doubt that will continue at the Big Ten level to one extent or another. His vision and instincts also help him create for others in those situations.
In the modern game, called the way it is, having guys who can break a defense down and get to the rim is invaluable. Cassius gives MSU that kind of weapon.
– I think he's going to be good to very good defensively, in time. I haven't seen a measurement on his wingspan but having seen him play a few times, I was always struck by the way he seemed to play "long," meaning that he seemed to deflect a lot of passes and was able to cut off passing angles with his reach. I think that plus his toughness and generally through the roof basketball IQ will add up to him becoming a plus defender eventually. That end may take time, as it usually does for most players, but in the end, I think he'll be a two way factor for MSU.
– The intangibles are important with him. I don't think he's quite a Tum/Walton/Green/Cleaves style guy in terms of being vocal all the time, but he's clearly a leader. Watching him with his team, that was always obvious. He's also shown to be a guy willing to step up in big moments and put the win or loss on his shoulders…making the play he did to beat Clarkston in the A quarterfinals this year was just one example. He's the kind of guy you want running your team.
– I don't expect to see him relegate Tum to 10 mpg. Usually, a guy who appears likely to end up as a starter for much of his first two seasons would automatically continue as a major minute player for his final two years. It's a testament to how good Cassius is that I expect he and Tum to probably split the point guard minutes. Cash might be able to grab the occasional stretch alongside Tum as well, though with the wing group MSU is putting together, it's tough to see much need there. I think both guys have strengths and MSU is well positioned at the point guard for the near and long term with these two in the mix.

Owners of unsafe dwellings move court against MC demolition drive
Even as nine people were killed on Friday in incidents of roof collapse triggered by incessant rain in the region, occupants of unsafe buildings in the walled city have approached a local court seeking a stay on demolition of their dwellings by the miunicipal corporationpunjab Updated: Sep 10, 2014 00:17 IST
Even as nine people were killed on Friday in incidents of roof collapse triggered by incessant rain in the region, occupants of unsafe buildings in the walled city have approached a local court seeking a stay on demolition of their dwellings by the miunicipal corporation.
Propelled by the Friday tragedy, the lethargic corporation on Saturday swung into action to demolish unsafe buildings to avert a tragedy, but withdrew quickly as the residents approached the court for a stay order.
Municipal commissioner Pradeep Sabharwal said: "We have come to know that some of the occupants of unsafe buildings have approached the court seeking a stay order, while others are not willing to leave."
Number of buildings
As many as 119 unsafe buildings had been identified by a survey conducted by the corporation in 2004; however, a recent survey records the number at 143.
These buildings are located in narrow, but busy lanes of the walled city and despite their dilapidated condition the buildings are being used as shops-cum-residences.
"It's ironic that occupants are not willing to vacate these structures despite threat looming large to their lives," said an MC official.
Working in rain, but in vain
In the name of a demolition drive, the MC has removed extensions on terraces of some of the unsafe structures in the walled city area on Saturday, but the drive came to an end as soon as rain ceased. However, the civic authorities have been citing various reasons for the withdrawal, including residents approaching the court.
Last year too, the MC had undertaken demolition drive when many unsafe structures caved in due to heavy downpour, but the drive was withdrawn when the rain stopped.
Demolition drive mere an eyewash
Residents feel that demolition drives are mere eyewash, because the civic body removes just a portion of unsafe structures rather razing them.
Easier said than done
Stating that the MC was serious about dealing with unsafe buildings, the municipal commissioner said the task was not as easy as it appeared to be, as many buildings were embroiled in legal disputes of various kinds.
"Besides majority of occupants are economically backward hence cannot afford to relocate as a result MC is forced to take a sympathetic view of the issue," he said.

We're doing things a little different this time. There's a lot of ground to cover, so we're cutting this state in half with things to do in south Florida! But that doesn't mean half the fun. It means twice the attractions! So stay tuned for part two! But for now let's buckle up and get going. You won't want to be late!
We're going to start in St. Petersburg at the Salvador Dalí Museum. Salvador Dalí was born in Spain, but a good portion of his work lives in Florida. The building itself is reminiscent of his imagination and ostentatious behavior. Of his 18 masterworks, eight are housed in the St. Petersburg museum. You can see the diverse nature of his artwork, not just his surrealist works he's most known for. The museum also displays temporary exhibits from artists with like-minded artistic creativity. With endeavors outside of painting that included theatre, sculptures, fashion, photography and literature, Dalí's has been influential for artists today working on modern surrealism. Heck, even his mustache was surreal.
After you get your fill on art and culture, put it in drive and head 100 miles east to Gatorland in Orlando for some real-life gator greatness. A classic attraction in central Florida, Gatorland offers you and your family a chance to ride a zipline 350 feet above the gator gauntlet! Other attractions include:
- Adventure hour – A daring behind-the-scenes tour
- Gator night shine – A night walk armed with only a flashlight
- Rookie wrestling – Show 'em what ya got
- Trainer for a day – Exactly what it sounds like
From arts and culture to gators to science and space travel. If you have all your limbs still after rookie wrestling, the Kennedy Space Center is a short jaunt farther east of Orlando. The Visitor Complex allows you to view the actual Atlantis space shuttle, touch rocks taken from the moon, and meet and have lunch with an astronaut! With tours, a play area for kids, IMAX® movies, and learning stations for all ages, the Kennedy Space Center is an ideal place for families and couples to see what happens out of this world. But remember, whenever they come back, the shuttles still need a great set of tires to get them safely on earth. And if you'll be passing through town, a new attraction will be opening November 11, highlighting heroes and legends of the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame®.
Two hours south near West Palm Beach, make a stop at the Lion Country Safari African Adventure. And how often do you get to go on safari in the United States?! Lion Country Safari is a drive-through park and is known as the first "cageless zoo" in the U.S. You can drive your own vehicle at your own pace through the park while listening to an audio recording while you observe giraffes, rhinos, lions, chips, and zebras. There is also a theme park with limited zoo exhibits where kids can hit the water slides or pet some smaller, tamer animals. The safari offers educational programs, group workshops, and conservation classes to help better understand how Lion Country contributes to global efforts, inspiring those to keeping earth in the best shape possible.
From Lion Country, Ernest Hemingway's Home and Museum is under 250 miles south in Key West. Driving there will be half the fun! Passing a long string of islands, you'll gaze out at beautiful water as far as the eye can see, passing over the Seven Mile Bridge. In the home, Hemingway completed multiple novels while becoming obsessed with the sea. The house is filled with memorabilia, including his typewriter. What's most peculiar, though, is that the estate houses 40-50 cats. Hemingway had a six-toed cat named snowball that he adored and so most of the cats now are descendants of that cat; therefore, most of them have six toes! The museum is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and includes a 30-minute tour.
And after your visit, you can get dinner at the nearby Six-Toed Cat just a half-mile away. Inspired obviously by Hemingway's cat and the subsequent offspring that still inhabit the estate, the Six-Toed Cat offers traditional American fare with boat to table fresh seafood and daily specials.
Check back to see what places we'll visit in the north end of Florida! I have a feeling you'll want to spend more time than you originally thought in the Sunshine State! You can always search "Road Trip Destinations Series" in the search bar at the top of the blog to see what other states we've visited.

The modern black hole seen in the photograph is an unknown animal, whether it is an official one. And what might happen after this is very upset.
The team of astronomers who created the statue of the black hole called M87 (star). (The silent star is.) A professor of language has given its name from Hawaiian – Powehi – meaning "the dark creation without the grain." And the international organization which gives names to noble names? He never gave a black hole.
The black hole is approximately 53 million years away at the center of a disease called Messier 87, or M87 for a short time. On Wednesday, scientists showed a picture they took off using eight radio telescopes, the first time that people saw the one of the intriguing and cheerful objects that pull up everywhere around them, even light t .
Normally the International Geometric Union treats names, except for materials within our solar system and outdoor stars. No committee is set up to deal with other matters, such as Black holes, galaxies or neulas.
The last time a situation was like this, poor Pluto got a little bit away to a tiny planet and took away a public tactic, adventurer Williams Jay Pasachoff, a nomination committee member.
Technically, the IAU has never named a hero – the route of the Milky Way, which Rick Fienberg, an astronomer and news officer for the American Geological Society, said. He said, "just a word that came down through history."
"There's more than one sign of almost everything in the sky," said Fienberg. "The IAU has the official names that the collectors have sent out but to other cultures, have other names."
When it comes to the black hole we saw this week, the University of Hawaii-Hilo, a Hawaiian professor Larry Kimura, even existed before the photograph was released.
The Hawaiian name for the black hole is Powehi (as a poh-Veh-hee), his official name is Jessica Dempsey, who helped capture the statue of the blind as deputy director. Telescope Maxwell's Max Clerk, Mauna Kea, the highest mountain in Hawaii. Hawaii Gov announced on 10 April as a Powehi day, she said.
"These are not astronomers naming this," she said. "It comes from a language expert and a linguist who comes to the board and gives us a gift of this name. It is a gift from Hawaiian culture and history, not on the other side."
When asked about Kimura's opinion, Pasachoff, IAU's nomination committee member, said: "It's the first thing I heard about it."
Eric Mamajek, chair of the IAU working group on the stars of a star said, "a wonderful, wondering name." T
But Mamajek said that his committee might not be the right person to name the black hole. It will be only stars.
"This is just the Pluto situation," said Pompey.
In 2006, astronauts at the IAU discussed a name on the giant sundry system that Eris had finally got. It was not thought of as a planet, nor was the work of the planet's committee. However, some experts pointed out that he was bigger than Pluto, who caused some confusion.
The conference decided to reorganize the planets, kick Pluto out of the regular club of blankets and made him join the small plans of plans with Eris, said Pasachoff.
The same day the illustration of the black hole was revealed, the IAU asked the public to choose between three names for the astronauts of things to call 2007 OR10. It's a frozen flat area that goes around the sun but gets 100 times longer from our star on Earth.
The three names proposed are Gonggong, a Chinese water god with red hair and a snake's tail; Holle, the winter goddess of Europe of fertility; and Vili, the Norse god and Odin's brother.
The IAU tries to introduce more languages and cultures into the naming game, Pasachoff and Fienberg said. Soon, IAU will ask the public for help with 100 plans outside our solar system.
As astronomers look further into the cosmos, Poffice said, "we will need more names."

Pat Saiki, ASLA
Ken Saiki Design
"The Olbrich Plant Sale is very unique, mainly due to the plants sold there - many are hard, if not impossible, to find at any local source. Also, you have an amazing group of seasoned veterans available to answer any plant, horticulture, or landscape question a person may have. It's just a very enjoyable couple of days for people to experience Olbrich Botanical Gardens."
Paul Ganshert
Ganshert Nursery and Landscapes
"As UW Emeritus Professor of Horticulture with a specialization in landscape plants, I have volunteered at the Olbrich plant sale each year since my retirement in 1994. Olbrich horticulturists select the newest and best hardy cultivars of trees, shrubs, and vines to offer at this sale. Our role as volunteer plant experts is to assist customers in selecting the right plant for their particular planting situation. I've had the opportunity to assist many satisfied repeat customers over the years!"
Ed Hasselkus
UW Emeritus Professor of Horticulture
"I can recommend shopping at Olbrich's annual plant sale with a single plant name, Acer tschonoskii. I've had this lovely, small-scale ornamental maple for more than 10 years and it graces my front garden where everyone can see it as a specimen tree. Olbrich does an admirable job of finding rare and unusual plants like this and I have placed a variety of them in my garden over the years!"

I found this recipe in the NYTimes' Recipes For Health section. Mighty fine stuff. I subbed soy mozzarella for the Gruyere cheese. Unfortunately, there is no soy Gruyere. But this tasted really good, just the same. Disclaimer – it's supposed to serve 6 as a main dish, but we (the two of us) gobbled the whole thing up in one sitting. That good.
Spaghetti squash gratin with basil
1 spaghetti squash, about 3 pounds
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
salt and freshly ground pepper
3 large eggs
1/2 cup nondairy creamer
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
1/2 cup shredded soy mozzarella
2 tablespoons grated soy parmesan
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Pierce the squash in several places with a sharp knife. Cover a baking sheet with foil, and place the squash on top. Bake for one hour, turning the squash every 20 minutes until it is soft and easy to cut into with a knife. Remove from the heat, and allow the squash to cool until you can handle it. Cut in half lengthwise, and allow to cool further. Remove the seeds and discard. Scoop out the flesh, and place in a bowl. Run a fork through the flesh to separate the spaghetti-like strands, then chop coarsely. Measure out 4 cups squash, and use whatever remains for another dish, or freeze.
Oil a 2 quart gratin or baking dish. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet, and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, for another 30 seconds to a minute until fragrant. Add the squash. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes until the strands of squash are a little more tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and remove from heat.
Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add the creamer, salt (about 1/2 teaspoon), pepper, and basil. Stir in the squash mixture and the soy mozzarella and combine well. Scrape into the baking dish. Sprinkle the soy parmesan over the top and gently press down to moisten.
Bake 40 – 45 minutes until nicely browned and sizzling. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool for 10 – 15 minutes before serving. Makes 6 servings.

It's Not Easy Being Green - S5-E16
Factual error: Boomhauer's car, Ms. Sally, has a Texas flag license plate on it. These plates were not issued until 1992, but Ms. Sally was driven into the quarry in the late 70's or early 80's.Jason Sieberg
Factual error: When Nate goes to see Hank to show the incriminating photos of Bobby watering the lawn you can see Nate's car has orange tinting on his front headlight. Front headlights cannot contain any color tinting and must be clear. The car is an expensive looking car. I doubt he wanted to change the tinting of it either.Lummie
Returning Japanese (1) - S6-E21
Factual error: As the Hills get off the plane in Japan the camera crew is waiting for them as they exit the terminal however they do not go through any sort of customs area. Every international flight you must go through customs before entering the country.Lummie
Returning Japanese (1) - S6-E21
Factual error: During the scenes where the Hills arrive at the airport in Japan, there is no flight crew outside or around the terminal when they exit. Whilst they may be the last people to exit the plane, there will be one or more crew members to farewell passengers and also to close the terminal door. There doesn't seem to be any crew anywhere close, which seems particularly odd especially as Hank and Cotton manage to just stroll back onto the plane. A little after they leave the camera crew just go right through the terminal onto the plane without anyone there to stop them.Lummie
Factual error: The Olympic symbol (of 5 inter-connected rings) is upside-down on the tracksuits the torch carriers are wearing near the end of the episode. It has 3 rings at the top, not 2.David Mercier
Returning Japanese (1) - S6-E21
Factual error: In the airport scene in Japan, the news crew arrives to film Cotton Hill. As Cotton Hill gets back on the plane trying to escape the news crew, we see a shot from outside the plane and the news crew is out on the tarmac. With security regulations at airports a film crew wouldn't be allowed to just go out onto the tarmac.Lummie
Three Coaches & a Bobby - S3-E12
Factual error: Before Hank knocks Coach Sauers out with the drink case, the coach starts up his car, but when Hank knocks him out the engine turns off as soon as Hank hits him. The engine wouldn't turn off because of being unconscious. (00:16:20)Lummie
Hank's Unmentionable Problem - S1-E6
Factual error: Hank is extremely constipated, but has a colonoscopy. He would not have been able to have a colonoscopy while extremely constipated, having not had a bowel movement in many days.
Take Me out of the Ball Game - S3-E24
Factual error: Near the end of the episode, Dale Gribble saves Team Strickland by catching a home run ball, hit by Kurt Bevacqua, with his hat. This wins them the game. However, according to the MLB Rulebook, if a player catches a fly ball with their hat, the batter takes three bases, meaning the game would continue and Bevacqua would be at third base.

In the British Isles, where there are no longer any other native wild canids, it is referred to simply as 'the fox'. The red fox pre-breeding season population is estimated to be 258,000.
A male fox is called a 'dog', a female fox is called a 'vixen', a young fox is called either a 'kit', 'pup' or 'cub'. A group of foxes are called a 'skulk'.

Zions Colors 15 x 10
Zions Colors 15" x 10"
Chemical deposit in the rocks along with the ever-changing colors of the light as the sun progresses along its path creates an enormously variable color pallet on these rocks. One of the beauties of nature is the many variations which we can see in one location as the time of the day progresses and with the changing of the seasons. The different moods of nature combine with these elements to add even more variety. The highest of these peaks soars to over 7,000 feet with many vertical cliffs having over 2,000 feet drops.

As I turn another year older, I cannot help but look back at everything that has happened in my life for the past couple of years. All the events that have happened, the changes that have taken place, the places I have visited, the people I have met, the opportunities that have knocked on my doors, the rejections that I have encountered, the challenges that have disheartened me, and all the experiences I have gained. The past years have been a never ending series of ups and downs.
Five years ago, I never would have imagined I will do the things I am doing right now. I am eternally grateful not only for the good parts, but also for the bad parts as well. If not for them, I would have been stuck in the same place. Because of the happiness, pain, loss, and recovery—I have grown into the person that I am today. Of course, this is just the
beginning. I am excited about what's in store for me in the coming years. I am looking forward to discovering more about myself and the rest of the world that I have yet to explore. But for now, I am satisfied with the fact that I am doing well despite getting caught up with a lot of priorities. Although I am struggling at times, I am thriving to become the best version of myself, for myself. And that's what matters.
I have rounded up a list of things that I have learned, the words that I live by, and the wisdom that I try to apply to my life.
- Let your loved ones know that you care for them. Do not take moments for granted. Say what you have to say when you feel like it. Be generous in giving hugs and saying "I love you."
- You should not let your past define you. You are not the same person as before. Every day, you mature and become better. Remember that.
- Celebrate little victories. There is power in small wins. Your daily victories, no matter how small, should be recognized. Because progress is still progress, no matter how small.
- Take care of your body, mind, and spirit. Never lose track of your well-being. Always make sure that you are physically healthy and mentally okay. Finally, never lose sight of your faith.
- Don't compare your journey with everyone else's. Understand that we all have unique and different timelines. Focus on your own.
- If you hurt yourself, don't be afraid to stand up and start over. One of the most fulfilling things about life is our ability to restart no matter how many times we fall and fail. Take advantage of this ability and do not hesitate to do it all over again, as many times as you need to.
- Even if you feel like you're stuck in one place for too long, you are growing. You may think there's no progress, but there is. And even if all you did was get through and survive, each day is remarkable.
- If something makes you excited to wake up in the morning, cling to that.
- If something makes you happy, do not hesitate to pursue it.
- If something makes you feel you're unwanted, do not hesitate to let it go.
- Do not stop learning. Life is an endless journey of discovery and exploration. Keep creating and keep honing your interests. Your skills and knowledge are one of your most useful weapons.
- You are deserving of love, time, and attention. You may have experienced a lot of rejection and pain in the past, but that does not mean you are unworthy of love, time, and attention. The right people will treat you with so much love and respect. They are the ones that you should keep.
- It is okay to say no. You are not a bad person for not showing up. Sometimes, life happens and you have to be there for yourself, too. And that's okay.
- Do not let other people invalidate what you feel. What you go through is real and other people cannot just wrongfully judge you for it. Keep your head up and feel what you have to feel.
- Allow yourself to heal from the things that caused you pain.
- It is not selfish to make yourself a priority. Sometimes, you have to put yourself first on top of anything else that may seem important, but that's okay. You have to put into consideration that your wellness is just as important.
- Sometimes, you have to pause in order to keep moving forward. It is okay to rest. It is okay to slack off. Your worth is not defined by your productivity.
- Always be kind and compassionate. You never know how much impact you have on other people's lives. Be considerate of other's feelings who may be fighting internal battles and be generous towards those who are in need.
- Never lose your childlike wonder. A lot of the most memorable things in our lives are brought by laughs, old friendships, and nostalgia. All of which are deeply rooted in childhood. If we keep on looking at the world through the eyes of children, life can be so much vibrant and exciting.
- Always find your peace and when you finally do—may it be in a place or a person, find time to go back in that safe space every once in a while.
- Be brave enough to fight for your dreams. Do not settle for what's laid out in front of you. Go farther, expand your horizons, and always put your best foot forward. Not for anyone else, but for yourself.
- Live with no regrets. Book that flight. Buy that bag. Message that person you have been thinking about. Do not hesitate to do the things that make you feel better. Life is too short for hesitating every time you want something for yourself.
- If you have not figured everything out yet, it's okay. No one really has everything figured out. You are doing great. Just keep going.
- Your worth is not defined by likes or views. Just live your life truthfully, on your own terms. Be yourself and believe that you are capable of great things.
So here's to turning 24 and to being more fearless in the pursuit of our dreams. Here's to hustling harder for our goals, ticking more places off our bucket lists, and learning more about life in the process of it all.
To whoever is reading this, I would like to thank you for supporting me with everything that I put out—my photos, my memories, my thoughts, my words, my content. I am deeply honored every time I am reminded that there are people out there who believe in me and support me. You keep me going. A lot of people have told me I inspire them—and for that I am grateful—but the truth is, YOU INSPIRE ME.

Contrary to popular perception, there are not enough clowns in Congress.
So believes Steve Lough, a Democratic candidate for South Carolina's 5th Congressional District. As a professional clown, he should know.
Yes, an honest-to-goodness clown: the kind with a red rubber nose who throws pies and performs magic tricks. Thirty years ago, Lough graduated from Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Clown College, and he has toured on and off with the Greatest Show on Earth and a circus in Japan. That's where he met his wife, Rie Sekine, also a clown and now his campaign manager.
One of Lough's bits involves a renegade toupee, a gag that has a real-life historical precedent on the House floor: A congressman once grabbed another's hairpiece during an 1858 brawl over slavery. Lough's specialty, though, has always been juggling. His favorite trick requires balancing on his forehead a six-foot pole, with his hat up on top; he juggles five balls and, at the end, drops the hat from the pole to his head.
For the past 10 years, Lough traveled around North Carolina with an anti-bullying show sponsored by McDonald's. When the program ended in December, he decided to return to his hometown of Camden and throw his hat in the ring, so to speak.
"When life gives you lemons, you run for Congress," Lough says.
Whether his career change is a step up or down likely depends on where you sit. But either way, Lough is not exactly new to strange and unexpected transitions. Before enrolling in clown college, he attended Dartmouth College, where he majored in anthropology, played football and wrote a paper on beer pong. (It earned him an A.)
And in any case, the transformation from clown to politician was less abrupt than it might appear, and not only because he juggles in his campaign videos. Over the years, he said, he has gradually become more politically engaged. He volunteered for Barack Obama's 2008 and 2012 campaigns. Sandy Hook, Trayvon Martin and some family connections to gun violence inspired a reading binge on gun policy.
Then, in 2016, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., got him jazzed about spreading the gospel of single-payer health care.
In fact, it's Lough's policy agenda, rather than any clown-phobic voters, that likely presents the biggest obstacle to his winning the seat in November. Or even just his party's primary in June.
Lough is running in a deep-red congressional district. Until last year, it was represented by tea partier and now Trump Cabinet member Mick Mulvaney. Lough insists, though, that "a lot of people don't understand yet that they are Bernie Sanders liberals, too." He believes his campaign can help bring voters to that realization.
"I may not win this election, but if I can get 10 people or 100 people in every single county of South Carolina to Google single-payer health care, or to Google about our gun laws," he says, he'll declare victory.
Lough is not the first person to ask voters to send in the clowns.
In fact, he has some extra-big floppy shoes to fill. In the 19th century, clown and satirist Dan Rice ran for Congress, Senate and the presidency, and since then plenty of other comedians and entertainers have run for office. And although comparisons of politics to a "circus" or of politicians to "clowns" are not usually intended to be flattering, Lough says they should be.
Circus folk like him could teach this Washington sideshow a lot, he says.
The circus is a microcosm of the world, he argues, but one where everyone is welcome and diversity is valued. (Hey, you might even call it the original big tent.) In the circus, Lough worked alongside performers from Russia (who turned him on to Dostoevsky) and South Africa (who taught him about the horrors of apartheid). Recalling the visual of an 8-foot-tall Pakistani colleague standing next to a 33-inch-tall Hungarian, Lough marvels: "My God, you think about how unique and how wonderful creation is."
Circus requires discipline, practice and sacrifice, he says, observing that the high-wire-act performers he has known never, ever drank caffeine. And in a circus, everyone has to learn how to work together, regardless of how different they are or how big their egos may be. Otherwise the whole thing falls apart.
Most important, unlike many politicians, circus folk understand that every person, no matter their background, and every job, no matter how seemingly minor or menial, matters.
"Walking on stilts, your life depends on the floor being clean," Lough says. Consequently: "You develop great respect for people who scoop the poop."
Catherine Rampell is a columnist for the Washington Post.

You know in your heart that you have a commitment to winning custody of your child. But you may feel overwhelmed when it comes to proving you deserve custody. You may also be dreading a drawn-out battle with your ex-spouse.
All custody negotiations and divorces are unique, and there is no fool-proof way to ensure you get custody every time. However, here are three tried and true guidelines you should follow to increase your chances of seeing favorable results:
1. Realize perception is everything
You need to be aware at all times that it matters how the family court and judges perceive you. Some things you can do to make a good impression include:
- Getting to your court appointments on time
- Dressing properly for court.
- Being respectful to the judge.
Do everything in your power to show the court that you are an involved, competent, supportive and loving parent.
2. Be willing to collaborate
While you should fight for your own interests, do not be unnecessarily stubborn. Show the court that you can be flexible by compromising on certain things. As long as neither you nor your ex are abusive or struggling with addictive substances, they generally want both parents to be as involved as possible. Prove you are willing to work with the other parent.
3. Do what the court asks
Now is not the time to be difficult or feel offended. If the court asks you for documentation, provide it as soon as possible. The court may even require you to seek counseling or take parenting classes. Do not act out of spite or think you do not need to adhere to court requests. Do what is asked of you to show you are committed to your children.
One crucial tip to remember during your custody battle is that the needs of your children always come first. Consider these guidelines as you negotiate child custody.
