RIVERSIDE – UCSB erupted for nine runs in the first inning, and Andrew Calica drove in a career-best six RBIs in a 20-2 rout of UC Riverside in Thursday night's ESPN3-televised Big West baseball series opener at the Riverside Sports Complex.
The 20 runs were the most scored by the Gauchos (40-12-1) in a single game since Mar. 15, 2009 (UCSB 25-11 St. Mary's). In addition, the team's six collective doubles represented a new season best, while their seven extra-base hits were tied for the most.
The victory also clinched the 40th win of the season for UCSB, a first for the program since 2001 and just the sixth all-time. At 16-6 in Big West play, they sit a half-game behind Cal State Fullerton in the conference standings with two games to go.
Besides Calica, Luke Swenson (5-5, four RBIs) and Clay Fisher (3-5. four RBIs) also set new career bests in the run-producing department. It was the first time this season that three separate Gauchos drove in at least four runs.
Things started off disastrously for UCR (13-40, 2-19 Big West), which allowed two runs and loaded the bases – on four walks and a hit by pitch – before a single swing was taken by the Gauchos. The first UCSB player to take the bat off his shoulder was Swenson, the No. 6 batter in the lineup, who smashed an RBI double into the left-center field gap to put the Gauchos up 4-0.
Fisher (single) and Campbell Wear (double) followed up with two-run hits as part of a rally that saw 10 consecutive Gauchos batters reach base.
The rally could only be stopped when UCR inserted Jordan Kron, its third pitcher of the frame. He recorded three consecutive outs to stop the bleeding, but not before allowing an RBI double down the left field line to Calica.
UCSB would go on to score single runs in the next three frames, then a five-run sixth cemented the victory for good.
Calica highlighted that rally with a three-run blast over the right field fence, his first career home run. The redshirt sophomore sat on a 1-0 fastball, sending a frozen rope just over the 10-foot wall, scoring Wear and Fisher and putting UCSB 17-1.
The Gaucho center fielder then closed his RBI account in the seventh, chopping a grounder through the middle for a two-run single.
Getting staked to a 9-0 lead and being forced into a 30-minute hiatus before he was allowed to throw his first pitch of the game, UCSB starting pitcher Domenic Mazza was just what his team needed in the blowout win, as he was straightforward and efficient in his eight-inning outing.
The junior southpaw needed just 87 pitches to complete his start, issuing just one walk while striking out four. He scattered seven hits, ending the day with two earned runs against.
Junior right-hander Connor Baits came in to finish the job in the ninth, tossing a scoreless inning in his first appearance since May 9.
Mazza was starting in place of usual ace Dillon Tate, who is being held out of the rotation this week in order to rest for the upcoming postseason.
With an eighth inning pinch-hit at-bat and subsequent defensive assignment, first baseman Dalton Kelly made his first appearance in a UCSB uniform since fracturing his right fibula at Cal State Northridge on Apr. 12.
The Gauchos will go for the series win Friday, also on ESPN3, behind the left arm of junior southpaw Justin Jacome (7-3, 2.46). He will be opposed by UCR's Joie Dunyon (1-4, 4.85). With a win tomorrow or Saturday, UCSB will clinch the best single-season winning percentage in program history.

Well Preserved
Boozy jelly varieties are spreading
Excessive drinking may be falling out of favor among young adults, as explored in our Social Status Report, but they're still seeking alcohol at certain times and in certain forms—such as in food. In line with young people's preference for more mindful drinking, they're embracing eats infused with booze, from ice cream to marshmallows and now jam.
Avocado toast has become a breakfast staple beloved by Millennials, but there might be another ingredient they're soon spreading on bread thanks to London retailer Firebox. The company sells gin and tonic marmalade made with artisanal gin, sugar, lemon, water, and quinine extract, which is the flavor often found in tonic water. All of the alcohol is cooked off during the creation process, giving it the taste of the drink without the dreaded hangover. Firebox recommends putting the liquor-infused preserve on cucumber sandwiches or spreading it on toast or pastries for a new take on boozy brunch.
The alcohol industry is increasingly embracing food waste by putting its excess products to good use and even giving them new life in the form of other foods. British gin brand Pinkster is taking this sustainable approach by using fresh, gin-soaked raspberries left over from its production to make gin jam. Pinkster first trialed the product in collaboration with The Wooden Spoon Preserving Company, offering it at select retailers and bars in the UK. Based on demand, it has continued production and sold more than 18,000 jars to date. In addition to using the jelly as a spread, Pinkster suggests including it as a cocktail ingredient.
Dallas-based Jammit! Jam started as a hobby for the brand's creator, Andrea Chatterji, but she soon couldn't keep up with demand for her jelly infused with libations. Using seasonal fruit, raw cane sugar, herbs, spices, and of course alcohol, the company offers spreads in various varieties, including Peach Thyme Prosecco, Cherry Clove Cabernet, and Orange Hatch Vodka Lemonade. Other flavors contain bourbon, merlot, gin, and beer, catering to all drinkers' palates. The company recommends pairing its jams with cheeses, spreading them on pastries, or even warming them up as a sauce used on meat.

Christmas Parade MapsTuesday, December 1st, 2015
Maps showing the line up and drop off points for the Warrenton, Manassas, and Baltimore Parades are available. For all of the parades keep in mind that the roads close early and you will have to park and walk to the Spotlight staging area.
- Warrenton: There is not a designated drop off area for the Warrenton Parade (Spot #: 27) and you will not be able to drive down the parade route. We recommend parking near the end of the parade and walking back to the staging area. Congestion will be an issue given the Friday evening time. Allow plenty of time to get to downtown Warrenton. The parade route is short so walking to the staging area will not take long.
- Manassas: The drop off area for the Manassas Parade is the Reb Yank Shopping Center near Nathan's Ice Cream (Spot #: 25). There is a drop off loop setup that goes around the shopping center. You can follow this loop and complete the drop off just across the street from Battlefield Ford. They can continue up the street until the see us, which should be line of sight once they get past Battlefield Ford. Another point of reference is Little Ceasar's Pizza, which is just beyond where we will be. Parking at the end of the parade is probably best as there are plenty of spots in the garage behind the train station and at the Courthouse.
- Baltimore: We don't have a map showing our exact location, but I know we will be either on Falls Rd. beside the Baltimore Polytechnic Institution or in their parking lot. Most likely we will be on Falls Rd. as the parade organizer usually lets us go early since we come from so far. The parade goes down Falls Rd. and then turns left onto West 36th St. continuing on to Chestnut Ave. where it ends. We will turn onto Chestnut Ave. and go down at least a block just beyond Hampden Elementary School. The school does not have sufficient parking and I do not believe you can park in their lot as is used by the floats and other parade vehicles. If you continue another block on Chestnut Ave. there is a large parking area on the right in what is an office or school complex (Chestnut and 37th St.). From there you can walk back to watch the parade. Parking in the neighborhood surrounding the parade's end is very limited.
I would encourage everyone to watch the parade to the end so that you walk over the 34th St. to see the Miracle on 34th St. (Wikipedia) Christmas light display. It's not to be missed as nearly every house on both sides of the street are lit up/decorated for Christmas.

Scenic Erie Canal by LtPowers
Today, the Erie Canal National Heritage Corridor is one of the federally designated national heritage corridors in the United States. The Erie Canal passes through several historic canal communities including Lockport, Brockport, Spencerport, and Port Byron. The canal also passes through national parks, historic landmarks, and canal locks that elevate and lower the boats. Trails run along nearly three-quarters of the canal, making it accessible to explore the area by foot or bicycle. You can also rent a canoe, kayak, canal boat, or take a boat cruise at various points along the canal.

text: Hi everyone, my name is Stassi and I am currently working as an events coordinator. You could say I have always been the life of the party and the one behind all the madness. I love coordinating events for many reasons but my favorite is just seeing the smile and the happiness of the clients faces when they see the final project. All throughout high school and college I was always trying to come up with either new games or just new activities to do because we would always do the same old thing over and over again so I started to become very creative. I love being apart of huge events and parties because 90% of it is all for the people to have fun and enjoy themselves so I am okay with working my butt off and dealing with stress so that others can enjoy themselves and have fun! On my website I will be sure to shares some of my tips and tricks on making every situation a fun one. Hope you enjoy!

Crazy Setup !!
This installation setup was by far harder than I anticipated. I thought I had everything in place but there were so many set backs with the equipment. I just made it just in time for the unveiling.
Podiums : Made using ¾ inch mdf boards, and painted with white fire proof paint. The
podiums were open at the back so that I could get space to hide all the wiring as well as put the
computer and the mac mini's.
I decided to use room dividers to create the illusion of a room. I bought 6 54 inch wide room dividers which I arranged in a circle, around the plinths to create the illusion. I used Metal room dividers, covered by fabric.

I know it isn't Thursday, but today at the Barker Mansion we are having an event that takes us back to a simpler time of playing games. Nowadays, when people hear the word "games" many will think of Mario, or Call of Duty, or a plethora of other video games. Some people will even think of board games like Clue or Monopoly. However, none of those are what we are planning for today. Today, people who visit the mansion have the chance to play the same kind of games a child like Catherine Barker would play when she was growing up. These games include marbles, jacks, pick-up sticks, and checkers.
I'm young, but I remember playing all of these games growing up. I remember how much fun these games were even though they are very simple. It wouldn't surprise me if my generation was the last to really play these kind of games. Many children today have probably never played or even heard of these games (besides checkers). These were some of the most popular games when Catherine Barker was a child, but now they sound more like relics. However, these games are the talk of the town for today. Below you can read about the some experiences people had and learn how games children play today compare and contrast with those that were played for the event.
We had a handful of families arrive and partake in playing the games. One of the most popular games was pick-up sticks. I believe its simplicity made it easy for everyone, irregardless of age, to play. I had the opportunity to go around and speak a bit with each family. Across the board, the families enjoyed themselves, the children especially having fun. My theory that checkers is still a game many children play held true as well.
One family saw grandparents bring their three grandchildren, Nate, Jessie, and Natalie, to the event. When I asked about their time they told me that they were having a lot of fun. The children really liked playing pick-up sticks and checkers. Pick-up sticks saw everyone sharply keeping an eye on the sticks, quickly pointing out if any extra sticks moved. To me, the most interesting part of this entire event was how games then compared and contrasted with games today. When I asked Nate, Jessie, and Natalie what games they normally play I got interesting answers. They told they play Monopoly, cards, Connect Four, and video games. Their grandparents said they also spend a good amount of time on iPad's and computers. I found it intriguing that there was an even mix of "traditional" games (Monopoly) and "new" games (video games). Their grandfather told me that part of the reason they brought the children was to show them how to have fun without electronics. I found this noble, not because electronics are bad, but for the fact that these are fun games that people should play. It was also nice to hear that all three of them would play these games again if they had them at home.
Another group saw two friends bring their children, Dakota and Liliana, to have some fun. They played many games and enjoyed the popcorn and cocoa. It was adorable to watch the children really compete. When asked what kind of games Liliana likes to play at home, her mother told that Candy Land and Jenga are two that she plays a lot. Dakota's mother said that Stratego is a popular one as well as other board games. When I first thought about the idea of games played today, video games kept popping up. There's nothing wrong with them, but it does seem like every child has some video games. However, Liliana and Dakota were the children that video games weren't mentioned for. Now, age might play a factor in that, but it's still exciting that they are mainly playing board games at home.
Another family that joined in on the fun saw a mother and father bring their son, Sean. The cool thing about Sean was that he had already played all the games, but jacks. His mother told that he was very excited to finally play jacks. They all had a lot of fun, and Sean definitely looked in his element when it came to pick-up sticks. Games he regularly plays are Disney Infinity (video game), The Game of Life, and Jenga. Once again, there's this even balance of "traditional" and "new" when it comes to playing games. I remember growing up and playing the same games as all these children. Pick-up sticks was always a favorite, but I also loved playing Candy Land and Jenga like those that I talked to.
As nice as it was to speak and learn the perspective of children, I also had the opportunity to talk with an older family that decided to play some games. The parents, Ed and Eve, once visited the mansion shortly after the Purdue years and today they had their daughters, Polly and Susan, with them for some games of checkers and pick-up sticks. All of them remembered playing the same games when they were all growing up. Polly and Susan said that jacks was a little outdated though. Susan has children of her own (around my age) and mentioned how they grew up playing games like Uno, Boggle, Jenga, and Parcheesi. Once again, I remembered how I also grew up playing Uno and Boggle. Uno was definitely my favorite card game.
Susan and I then started talking about how much has changed in such a short amount of time. We talked about how her two oldest children and I didn't grow up with cell phones and when we did finally have them, they were basically for calls and texts. She then mentioned how her youngest has practically grew up with a smart phone (possibly an iPhone or some type of Android) in hand. There's only about a six year gap there, but a lot has happened in that small gap. However, where technology is always changing quickly, games seem to have a more slow burn effect.
As stated before, I remember growing up and playing the same games that we had for the event. Some of the children have even played these games prior. Even if they didn't before, they all enjoyed the games. This is interesting because I thought many children have just moved on to playing mainly video games, thinking older games to be outdated. While this holds some truth, many children are still playing games like checkers, and pick-up sticks, and board games. If I learned anything today it's that while the times may change, and change they will, a good game of marbles and jacks will always be fun for everyone.

1 in 5 RCBI-Firms Say Dominica Will be Best-Selling Program This Year – 2018 Investment Migration Executive Survey
We surveyed 40 senior executives – CEOs, COOs, Principal Partners, and owners – from the leading residence and citizenship by investment consultancies around the world (not including China) to learn more about the trends shaping the investment migration market.
Going forward, we intend to make this an annual survey which, we hope, will provide unique insights into the market as a whole and the participants within it.
While the sample size of our initial survey is small (getting people to answer a questionnnaire is a thankless task), the size of the companies surveyed – as well as their internationally diversified program portfolios – makes it a highly representative selection. We expect to have a much larger sample size next year.
Companies participating in the survey included (some firms opted not to disclose their names):
ARQ Group
Arton capital
Atlas Citizenship
Baxters International

Factors skewing the results: Most of the firms surveyed are global RCBI-consultancies. We excluded local advisories such as law firms and real estate developers from the survey as these typically specialize in only one or two programs. This means that highly popular programs like the Greek, Portuguese, and Spanish Golden Visas, as well as EB-5 and QIIP – which are generally processed by local companies – are underrepresented in the survey.
Dubai is the RCBI-hub: Fully 30% of RCBI-consultancies surveyed were headquartered in the UAE.
A rapidly expanding industry
The RCBI-business is booming; a majority of firms surveyed indicated they would open more offices, hire more staff, and expand into new markets in 2018.
Business is growing: Four out of five companies said they planned to hire more staff in 2018. See our job listings page for available positions in the RCBI-field.
Taking up more office space: 72.5% of companies surveyed expressed an intention to open on or more new offices during 2018. More than one third said they planned to open an office in the Middle East, and a quarter said they were eyeing Southeast Asia.
Key markets
Middle East is the most important client source: Nearly half of companies surveyed said the Middle East was their largest source market. Here, the results are likely skewed due to the lack of EB-5 companies participating in the survey; Chinese applicants account for about 2/3 RCBI-program participants worldwide.

Emerging RCBI-markets: 35% of firms say they want to expand activity in China, 32.5% in the Middle East. Perhaps more noteworthy was that while twice as many companies expressed an interest in improving their footprint in Africa as in Russia.
Hottest programs
Dominica CIP a big hit in 2017: 15% of firms said Dominica was their best-selling program last year, closely followed by Saint Kitts and Antigua.
Dominica expected audience favorite in 2018: More than one in five RCBI-executives anticipated Dominica would be their biggest audience favorite in 2018, followed by the UK and Malta.

June 13, 2009
My Hawaiian cohorts have been tutoring me in their native language and, during the flight to Midway, I was told that their language does not have words for everything. After spending the morning walking among the birds, sea turtles, and monk seals who call this island their home, I am unsure if the English language has the words to describe the Midway Wildlife Refuge. For those of you who have visited the Cape Lookout National Seashore, multiply that exponentially and you might get a fractional sense of what I am experiencing… it would be a fraction in the thousandths.
I headed to the beach before sunrise to welcome the morning and gaze in wonderment at (literally) millions of birds. Albatross are nesting everywhere… roadways, grasslands, sidewalks, and any other ground space they could claim. Some were resting (see Bill Albatross below), some were stretching their wings in preparation for the day they might take to the air like their parents, and some were practicing courtship rituals (photo on right) just like the middle school kids I teach.
The Hawaiian Islands have formed over a volcanic hot spot, or super plume, which lies beneath the tectonic plate on which they are found. Use today's photo to retrace the islands created from this hot spot. Which islands are the oldest in the chain? Which islands are the youngest? What is the name of this tectonic plate? Has this plate changed its directional movement through geologic time? If so, identify the different directions in which this plate has moved. Go to the USGS Dynamic Earth website to learn more about this unique geologic feature.

text: By now, most of us have heard that the trees in Albuquerque are in some amount of trouble. We are losing our urban forest canopy at an alarmingly high rate. In large part that is due to the combination of urban site conditions in a SW desert city, and drought/heat stress. We also see problems from improper planting, insufficient watering, and poor species choices. Being a tree in Albuquerque is difficult, and though trees are remarkably tough, they still need our understanding, care, and attention.

Waking up for our first full day in Tulum was ridiculously exciting. We'd envisaged joyriding in Tulum, through the town and across the beach. With the wind in our hair and looking like bohemian babes. The reality was something quite different. If you're new to the story, we reached Tulum at nighttime after having a Pitstop in Playa Del Carmen.
First of all, let me set the scene for the day. For the beginning of our trip we stayed at the stunning Tiki Tiki Hotel, booming turquoise tones and an instagram worthy interior.
Staying in Tulum beach is pretty pricey, so we thought we'd have the best of both worlds and stay in town for a few days too. Tiki Tiki is a boutique hotel boosting a spin on 1950's Miami vibes but set within the jungle. The modernist architecture combines a mixture of locally sourced materials and is furnished using local crafts.
In the entrance there is a vintage ride just waiting for you to check out. In that colour, it was only appropriate to take millions of snaps with my dream wheels.
Obsessed with the tiles, the bar was impossible to not adore – for more reasons than one.
After checking out our new home, we decided to venture out for our morning breakfast.
You can hire bicycles from the reception and ride away to Tulum beach front. I'm sure by this point you're wondering why this post is called joyriding in Tulum? Joyriding typically combines fast speeds, criminal behaviour and stolen wheels. Well the wheels weren't stolen, but there definitely was a crime being committed. Two ladies attempting to cycle beaten-up bicycles on unknown territory.
Little did we know, that we were located much further away from the beach than we imagined.
Therefore, the majority of us joyriding in Tulum was spent cycling on dirt tracks, cruising through industrial estates and getting sprayed with dust as lorries zoomed passed.
As we reached closer to the beach, and rode down the main strip in search of breakfast. We realised the joy-of-riding well and truly passed as traffic blocked the main road. Trying to stop with a bike that doesn't have breaks is quite difficult. Let's just say we were lucky Lauren survived day one, the tree never saw her coming. Her new pedicure did not survive. I can still hear her yelping 'I can't stop ahhhh' as she rocketed down the hill to the beach.
Feeling like two very exhausted and sweaty ladies, we tied our bikes to the nearest trees we could find and stumbled into Zamas.
Especially grateful to arrive to picture perfect deck chairs ready and waiting for us. The furniture was a mixture of bold and bright colours that popped out against the white sands beneath. You can sit on the beach front, but the restaurant's location acts as a bit of a wind tunnel. Consequently I suggest sitting inside admiring the great views, (without your food blowing away).
Feeling shattered from the heat, we relaxed in Zamas, checking out the turquoise waters and ordering up a storm.
Starting with a bowl of good old gucamole. When in Rome…
After a dose of green shakes, chips and guac – we were starting to feel human again.
Both indulged in a portion of breakfast tacos. YUM.
And seeing as it was almost lunchtime, some pork pipil tacos too. Which were also finger licking good.
As a result, we then repeated all of the above, washed down with a healthy shot of tequila. Not actually what I had ordered but in the spirit of not offending the staff, I did the honours and gulped it.
Most of all it took the edge off the thought of getting back on our bicycles. We spent the rest of the day lounging on the beach and checking out some of the boutique shops. Before finally heading back to our hotel. With a long heated slog through the dirt tracks.
We managed to make it back in one piece, and agreed taxis would serve us well for any longer journeys. Look at our happy faces after surviving our joyriding in Tulum (our one and only experience).
Arrived back at our pool, and snoozed the afternoon away with our heads nestled in some good books.
Eventually pulled ourselves away from the pool, and scrubbed up for the evening.
The bedrooms were comfortable, with a hammock floating at the end of our beds, twin sinks, huge shower and cosy balcony garden. But the best bit – the floor!
Ready to hit the town, we nipped in a taxi to Gitano.
Passing through the neon entrance, with no reservation and realising the queue. We wondered if we'd even get a table, as it was a popular spot. But luck was in our favour and we were lead through the restaurant which is nestled in a jungle. Surrounded in a wild but tamed jungle was the best way to dine, under fairy lights and pineapple decorations.
One part of the outdoor seating area even had a full on sparkly disco ball suspended above (sadly my picture didn't do it justice) but it was very cool!
Dinner was a long drawn affair, of indulging in delicious fresh food. I recommend taking the waiters lead when ordering. Everything we ordered was impeccable and made the already hot waiter even more dreamy.
Finishing the evening with one of my favourite deserts I have EVER had. Don't be fooled by my blurry shot, it is a game changer. I'm tempted to fly back just for another bite. Chocolate – dulce de leche – banana – mezcal just in case you need a reference when ordering.
After a night of jungle dining we left Gitano with full bellies and faces beaming with happiness. Onto another day and another adventure (bicycles not included)…

We are excited to welcome a new, though temporary, family member this evening. Joining us for two weeks from Quéven in the south of Brittany, Hugo is 18 years old and a recent graduate. He comes to us from his home in the country, with the blessing and support of his mom, dad, sister …. And cats!
We will enjoy Hugo's visit thanks to ECI (Echanges Culturels Internationaux), a non-profit cultural exchange program based in southern France. With active programs in Central Florida and in Pennsylvania, the organization lays the groundwork and program features that allow French teenagers to enjoy an exciting opportunity to experience everyday American life.
Just as the word signifies, though, the exchange is mutual; for we already have learned about an area of Brittany with which we were not very familiar. Quéven is part of the rich landscape of estuaries around the Gulf of Morbihan – described as one of the most beautiful bays in the world. Ancient megaliths, and just to the Southeast the historic walled town of Vannes, enrich life in the region.
In researching the area, we discovered the notable impact of World War II. Nearly the entire town of Quéven was destroyed by Allied bombs from 1943-1944. As the U-Boat Headquarters for the Germans, Lorient was a primary target of the Allies. And just yesterday, we made a very timely and interesting discovery.
As it turns out, my husband's uncle was part of the armored division that ultimately liberated Brittany. In an amazing coincidence, we came across his letters describing the 'march' from Rennes to Vannes and beyond in the fall of 1944. On May 10, 1945, the German garrison surrendered, and four years later the city of Lorient was awarded the Legion of Honour and the Croix de guerre.
We are so pleased to be a part of this cultural exchange, understanding quite well the wealth of experience any person enjoys, when engaging with other cultures. That is, in fact, one of the primary reasons we developed France Daily Photo. Each day we learn more of our French 'neighbors', and it is our pleasure to share our love of French culture, history and style with our readers.
We'd love to hear from you! email@example.com

Census 2020 Is Coming
Published: 11/20/2019
Census 2020 Is Here
Here's What You Need to Know
The 2020 Census is a count of every person living in the United States and its territories. Through a national survey, census bureau collects critical data that affects your representation in government, determines how much funding your community receives, and provides data to help you plan for the future.
As a Census 2020 partner, the City of Riverside is committed to providing you with the latest information available. Public services or programs are funded based on population-data derived from Census counts. Ensuring every group in Riverside is properly counted in the 2020 Census means ensuring that these programs and services are set up to properly serve our community.
City Contact: Jay Eastman
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Frequently Asked Questions
It is critically important to count every person in the United States so that the government can ensure all residents get proper representation. Census counts determine how many Congressmembers each state gets in the House of Representatives and congressional, state senate, and state assembly district lines are drawn based on the amount of people in any given area.
Federal Funding
Census data determines how more than $675 billion of the federal budget gets spent across the nation every year. In California specifically, a third of our state budget comes from the federal government to pay for programs like Medi-Cal, public education, housing infrastructure and housing assistance programs.
Most of the population-driven data and research we have about our country comes from the Census. It is critically important to have accurate data so that government, businesses, schools, nonprofit organizations, etc can properly analyze the landscape of our country.

What Is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)?
BPPV is the sudden sensation that you're spinning or that the world around you is spinning. Episodes are brief (lasting seconds) and usually triggered by changes in head position such as getting in and out of bed. Dizziness can be accompanied by nausea or vomiting. BPPV is one of the most common causes of vertigo and although symptoms are bothersome, BPPV is rarely serious with the exception of dizziness increasing the chance of a fall. You can read the Plain Language Summary of BPPV from the American Academy of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery Foundation here.
If you have signs or symptoms of BPPV it is important to see your doctor, as many of the symptoms could be a result of other illnesses.
What Causes BPPV?
The inner ear has otolith organs that use crystals to sense changes in head position. These crystals may become dislodged, causing a sensitivity to head position changes that the ear would not normally respond to. Typically, there's no known cause for the dislodgment of crystals, although it is often associated with head trauma, or illnesses that damage your inner ear.
How Do I Prepare for My Appointment?
To prepare for your appointment you should make a list of your symptoms. Be sure to note how long symptoms last, what triggers your symptoms, and if you have had a recent illness or blow to the head. Also, be sure to know the doses of all medications, vitamins and supplements you take and how often you take them. This information will aid in the diagnosis of your dizziness.
What Tests Should I Expect?
You should expect to have your hearing tested (audiometry) to assess how well you detect speech and sounds at different pitches and volumes. Your doctor may look for signs of dizziness that occur when you lie on your back with your head turned to one side. If the cause of your dizziness is difficult to determine your doctor may order a variety of balance tests such as videonystagmography (VNG), vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP) and/or electrocochleography (ECoG) to help rule out other conditions that cause vertigo.
What Treatments Are Available?
BPPV may go away on its own within a few weeks or months. But, to help relieve BPPV sooner, your doctor, audiologist or physical therapist may treat you with a series of movements known as the canalith repositioning procedure to move the crystals back to the otolith organ. Your doctor will likely teach you how to perform the canalith repositioning procedure independently, so that you can do it at home if necessary.

124 Spider
Fiat is an Italian automobile manufacturing company that can trace its roots to 1899. Known worldwide for its range of sporty, compact cars, Fiat today is the third largest automobile manufacturer in the world. One of the most popular, and most desirable classics ever, the Fiat 124 Spider is a 2+2 convertible, called a Spider in Italy, and a coupe through the 1970s. A Fiat 124 Spider service manual is an essential tool for keeping a classic Fiat 124 Spider roadworthy. Re-introduced to the United States in 2016, the current Fiat 124 Spider is a slick, smooth convertible that takes advantage of Fiat's embrace of retro style and incorporates technology from Mazda and Alfa Romeo, making a sporty, robust car that is highly desirable to own.
The Fiat 124 Spider was introduced to the United States in 1968. In 1969, the Spider became one of the very first vehicles to come standard with four wheel disc brakes, a dual overhead cam engine, radial ply tires and a five speed manual transmission. The lightweight car lived up to its sporty name, and became a cult classic almost overnight. Today, good condition original cars are difficult to find and bring high prices. Though the little convertible is advertised as producing only 89 horsepower, the low weight and well engineered transmission provide plenty of get up and go.
Fiat used the 124 Spider in rally racing in Europe and the United States in the late 1960s through the 1970s. Despite adding a steel roll bar for safety, Fiat was able to trim enough weight to get the vehicle down to slightly more than 2,000 lbs. With power increased over the standard production model to 128 horsepower and a top speed of 118 mph, the Fiat 124 Spider Rally was a fast and powerful vehicle that recorded victories in the World Rally Championship in 1977, 1978 and 1980.
Available to the general public, today these street legal racing machines are very difficult to find and command steep prices, particularly vehicles with a documented racing heritage.
The modern Fiat 124 Spider is based on the Mazda MX-5 platform and is powered by a turbo charged Alfa Romeo four cylinder engine that produces 160 horsepower. Restoring and maintaining a classic Fiat 124 Spider is an easy do it yourself project with a Fiat 124 Spider repair manual. These manuals provide descriptions and diagrams of each of the vehicles systems and explain how to properly care for these intriguing little Italian beauties.

It's been almost two years, and I never thought I'd be dealing with this still: insomnia.
My friend Jeanne has mentioned a few medical issues that could pertain to my ridiculous wide-eyes that insist on seeing 2 am every night, er, morning.
Whatever is causing it... It has changed. It used to be that I couldn't sleep because every time I tried, I would have a nightmare about Maddy dying... Usually in the form of her falling into a black ocean and disappearing forever. (For those of you who have been on cruises, imagine having your child jump off the banister in the middle of the night... And that's how my nightmares were.)
A little later it became more about the fact that I wasn't grieving as I needed during the day. (Really, I stuffed it quite often.) so then it would come overflowing out at night... Usually on my blog.
Gradually, it became nothing about grief, or Olivia, or my subsequent losses. It just... Became. It just was.
I wasn't up thinking about anything in particular. I just wascup.
I think of my babies every day. Not intentionally... I don't sit around crying anymore... Or at least really not often. I don't put on my "grieving pandora station" i created that always brings me to my proverbial knees.
And yet... Here I am. Up almost all night long.
Anyone have suggestions?

Karl Marx, the Working Class Movement Library and me: a librarian tells all
Posted by wcmlibrary on January 31, 2012
Having found that the Morning Star is not averse to a litte alliterative tabloid style headling I've taken a leaf out of their book for the title of this post.
Actually its not quite as exciting as it sounds. I've been de-duplicating our holdings of Marx and Engels in the light of the fact that we have a near complete set of the collected works (We're only missing vols 30, 48, 49 and 50). I've therefore removed most of the duplicated material from the library stock. But being a librarian with hoarder tendencies, I couldn't remove of everything – so we have kept a variety of different editions of Karl Marx's Capital, along with copies of Engels' Condition of the Working Class in Britain and Socialism: Utopian and Scientific.
We have also added content listings for the various collected works volumes to the library catalogue – which does make some of the entries a bit unwieldy, but does mean that readers can find what they are looking for.
In all we have made room for another 4 or 5 shelves of books, which is lucky because we have just had a large-ish donation of books which will need space somewhere in the library.
Boring, but true – As a lowly library assistant at the University of Bath I and my colleagues all dressed up as books from the collection and I chose to pay homage to Engels' Condition of the Working Class in Britain. Photos do exist, but are seldom seen.

"It was a week of self-discovery and transformation with one another. It was a week of fellowship and never-ending conversation. It was a week of being neighbors to and with each other."
Six8 is a summer intensive for 10th graders through college freshmen held in the heart of Nashville on the campus of Trevecca Nazarene University. Six8 is designed for students who are passionate about theological exploration, serving others and healing injustice. The intensive is centered around the question: "How do we love our neighbor?"
Students have the opportunity to dig deeper into their purpose, faith, and calling. They'll build community with scholars, mentors, and students who are passionate about the call of Micah 6:8—to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God. Throughout the week, we hope students come to know their own gifts and understand their capability to be agents of change in the world around them.
After the summer intensive, students stay connected with their small groups and mentors for the next six months as they process and integrate what they learn and seek justice in their own communities. We hope students will leave empowered to share their story about how God is working in their own lives and the world around them.
Check back here soon for upcoming dates!
The total cost for the week is $100. It will be held on the campus of Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville, TN. Six8 2019 will focus on the stories that shape us. We will spend the week identifying the cultures and customs that shape us while seeking to choose to be shaped by the story of God. The story of God calls us to welcome the stranger, show compassion for those who suffer, care for the poor and outcast, and to love our neighbors with our whole hearts, minds, hands, and feet. We will focus on what it means to live out the prayer "Your Kingdom Come, Your Will Be Done, On Earth As It Is In Heaven."

Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud is scheduled to visit China from Thursday to Friday after his trip to Pakistan and India, in a sign that Chinese observers said shows the kingdom is seeking to diversify its diplomacy rather than merely rely on the US.
Two major powers in the Middle East - Saudi Arabia and Iran - are trying to deepen cooperation with China, and this shows that the countries in the region welcome China's participation in solving problems in the region, experts said, as the Iranian foreign minister and the parliament speaker met their counterparts in Beijing on Tuesday just two days ahead of the visit of the crown prince.
At the invitation of Han Zheng, a member of the standing committee of the political bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and vice premier of the State Council, the crown prince, who is also deputy prime minister and minister of defense of Saudi Arabia, will visit China from Thursday to Friday, the Xinhua News Reported.
During his visit, President Xi Jinping and Vice Premier Han Zheng will meet the crown prince respectively, and the two sides will sign a series of cooperation agreements, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang said on Friday, announcing the visit.
Vice Premier Han Zheng and the prince will co-chair the third meeting of the China-Saudi Arabia High-Level Joint Committee.
Geng said that through this visit, "we look forward to further strengthening the China-Saudi Arabia comprehensive strategic partnership, building greater synergies between our development strategies, deepening cooperation in various sectors under the framework of the [China-proposed] Belt and Road Initiative and having an in-depth exchange of views on international and regional issues of common concern, to achieve greater progress in China-Saudi Arabia relations."
"There is a shining point in the crown prince's visit to Pakistan, which is seeking cooperation with China in a third country [Pakistan]," said Ding Long, a professor at China University of International Business and Economics in Beijing and an expert on Gulf countries.
Saudi Arabia's large investment in Pakistan will boost construction of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, Ding told the Global Times on Wednesday.
During the crown prince's visit to Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan signed investment cooperation agreements amounting to $20 billion. Saudi Arabia will also set up an oil refinery and petrochemical complex in Gwadar where China is already undertaking mega projects.
Geng said at Tuesday's press conference China was "glad to see" cooperation between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia is still facing some diplomatic challenges over the murder of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi, leading some Chinese observers to note that the prince is trying to improve the external environment for his country.
But even without the impact of Khashoggi's sensational killing, Saudi Arabia would try to strengthen its ties with non-Western countries like China and India sooner or later, as these fast-growing economies are major oil customers, said Ding.
The US, Saudi Arabia's most important ally, is trying to reduce its presence in the Middle East and also trying to reduce its energy reliance on Gulf countries and so even if the Khashoggi issue didn't affect US-Saudi ties, the kingdom would seek to diversify its diplomacy through strengthening ties with China and India, said Ding.
China in Middle East
Before the crown prince's visit, a delegation of senior officials from Iran, a major Saudi rival in the Middle East, visited China.
On Tuesday, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi met Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, who was accompanying Iranian parliament speaker Ali Larijani on a visit to China.
At the meeting with Wang on Tuesday, Zarif said the Iranian side welcomes China's more important role in issues concerning the Middle East region such as Syria, Iraqi reconstruction and the peace process in Afghanistan, Xinhua reported.
Both sides also exchanged views on the Iranian nuclear deal, said Xinhua.
Hua Liming, a Middle East studies expert and a former Chinese ambassador to Iran, told the Global Times on Wednesday that "although Iran and Saudi Arabia are hostile toward each other, China always keeps friendly and stable ties with both. This is very unique among the major powers of the world."
The US, Russia and European countries normally pick sides among Saudi Arabia, Iran and Israel when they intervene in Middle East affairs, but China is the only country that refuses to choose sides, Hua noted. That's why countries in the region always urge China to mediate, he said.
With the growth of China's influence and its increasing overseas interests, Beijing will consider using its unique advantage to try to mediate in Middle East conflicts and, if it can, successfully solve some problems. Its influence and image in the region, as well as with the whole international community, will be greatly improved, Hua said.
China is already mediating in Yemen, where Saudi Arabia and Iran are having an indirect conflict. Ma Zhaoxu, China's permanent representative to the United Nations, on Tuesday urged the international community to push the Yemeni parties to sustain effective political dialogue, Xinhua reported on Tuesday.
"We should push the Yemeni parties to sustain effective political dialogue and negotiation," Ma said at a Security Council meeting on the situation in Yemen.
Hua Liming is a senior fellow of Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University of China.

text: Phil W. Johnston - September 24, 2010 Taurus Tracker .17 HMR This hot little mini-bore cartridge is now chambered in a DA revolver.By Phil W. Johnston The Tracker .17 HMR features a muted stainless-steel finish that is classy. The fit of the parts is good as well. There's a new rimfire kid on the block and from the start it took off like wild fire. This little hot rod started when Hornady necked down a great cartridge to start with, necking down the .22 WMR to hold a 17-grain, 17-caliber bullet. This new rimfire appeared at the 2002 SHOT Show in Las Vegas and things have been moving along briskly since.The initial push revolved around long guns, of course. Out of a typical rifle barrel, Hornady's Magnum Rimfire generates 2,550 fps, creating a bite way out of proportion to the bark and a surprising lack of recoil. The new round is 25 percent faster than the old standby .22 Magnum and the new .17 HMR manages to trump up 245 ft-lbs of muzzle energy from its 17-grain bullet. Of course the other great things that go with a rimfire cartridge go hand in hand, as well. There really is no recoil and the muzzle blast is but a puff, if you will. (Hearing protection is still necessary, however.)It didn't take long for the cartridge to start showing up in shorter barreled arms, either. While cutting a foot or more off of a barrel does effect velocity, a great cartridge often remains great regardless of the barrel length. The rimfires are a good case in point. Hands down, the rimfires are great out of anything. In fact I've long felt that the world's greatest cartridge is the .22 Long Rifle. Most of us started out with this great cartridge and where fun is considered, the .22 LR has no peers. The magnum rimfire is every bit as great, when one wishes to up the ante a bit. Taurus introduced the new Tracker in 2002 and the line now includes a gem chambered for the .17 HMR cartridge. Constructed from stainless steel and equipped with the best grips that I've wrapped my hands around, this new Tracker may be one of the slickest handguns in the business. The Tracker .17 HMR sports a 6 1/2-inch barrel that includes a vented rib that works great to attach a Taurus scope base for optics and the like. Still Taurus' open sights aren't bad either. Up front, Taurus installed a typical ramp that features a bright red insert while a nice, fully adjustable rear sight is provided with a white outline on the notch. Out of the box the rig tended to be just a tad low and right, but it took but a minute to move things right into the middle of a three-inch Birchwood Casey Shoot-N-C target at 25 yards. The fully adjustable rear sight is quick and easy to use. The Taurus Security System solidly locks the rig up with half a turn on the screw. An Allen wrench is provided. The stainless steel Tracker features a nice, classy matte finish that would look good anywhere. The finish is well done and the fit of everything is perfect for lack of another suitable word. Operation of the Tracker is normal in all respects. The cylinder locks up in two places: A spring catch in the yoke engages a slot in the receiver up front while a pin in the cylinder-base pin engages the frame at the back. Lockup is good with little shake at either end.The black "Ribber" grips are as good as it gets, regardless of the caliber of the arm. Featuring deep grooves, the grip feels great and with a tight grip, it tends to take the shape of the hand. While recoil isn't part of the mix here, this grip will indeed soak up recoil on harder kicking guns as well.Taurus has one more good idea. A screw located on the back of the hammer can be turned by an included Allen wrench so that the arm can be prevented from firing in seconds. Loaded or otherwise, with the screw backed out half a turn this rig is solidly locked up. We're going to have a grandchild running around here in a few years and this might be a great idea although Cindy and I still believe that education is most important. The full-lug barrel is skillfully sculpted by Taurus engineers to give the revolver a good feel. One would expect this seven-shooter to be extremely muzzle heavy, but it's not. The front sight is plain serrated black ramp. The trigger of this arm is good, out of the box. The single-action trigger averaged five pounds, 3.5 ounces on the Lyman digital trigger gauge. The SA trigger is crisp and clean with no takeup and no discernable creep. The DA trigger is smooth and probably weighs about 12.5 pounds although it was just over the ability of the Lyman gauge to measure. I'd like to see the pull weight of the single-action around three pounds or so, but I'll take this one, just the same.Taurus equipped the .17 HMR with a heavy barrel that looks great. Featuring six lands and grooves, Taurus equipped the .17 HMR with a 1:10 twist. I didn't have time to slip optics on the Tracker so the drill consisted of using shooting glasses to clear things up while resting the Tracker on sandbags. All range work took place at 25 yards, outdoors, over the course of several days. In the spring here, the temperature moves all over the thermometer while the humidity tends to stay consistent. The Federal .22 Magnum (used for control from another gun) and CCI loads were fired when the temperature was in the high 50s while the Remington load was fired when the temperature was in the mid 80s. Take this into account when you look over the chart. Today, shooters have three varieties of .17 HMR from which to choose. They are (from left to right) the Hornady, topped with a .17-grain V-Max, CCI and its .17-grain TNT Hollowpoint and the the newest load from Remington, topped with a gold-tipped 17-grain V-Max bullet. The CCI JHP load left the 6 1/2-inch Tracker doing just shy of 2,000 fps over the Oehler 35 P Skyscreens, 15 feet from the muzzle. At the 25-yard target the CCI load was still moving along nicely, generating 1,832 fps and 126.67 ft-lbs of energy. The five, 5-shot CCI groups averaged 1.38 inches center to center with the best group going just larger than 3/4 inch. Keeping small holes that close is downright fun, to be sure. Hornady's V-Max load left the Tracker doing 1,966 f ps, retaining 1,830 fps at the target. The Hornady load accounted for the best group of .63 inch and just over an inch for the average. What fun it is to work with a good shooter like this.Remington's load is last only because of the alphabet. This load left the Tracker doing 2,049 fps, generating 158 ft-lbs at 15 feet. At the target this load was still steaming along nicely at 1,943 fps, generating 142 ft-lbs. The five Remington groups averaged 1.2 inches center to center with the best five-shot group measuring .62 inches. TAURUS .17 HMR TRACKER Maker/Importer: Taurus Int. Action Type: Double-action revolver Caliber: .17 HMR Capacity: 7 Barrel Length: 6 1/2 inches, 1:10 inch twist, 6 lands and grooves Overall Length: 10 3/4 inches Weight: 40.8 ounces Sights: Red ramp front, adjustable rear Grips: Black rubber Finish: Matte stainless steel Width: 1.54 inches Height: 5.68 inches Safety: Transfer bar and keyed action lock Price: $406 To put the .17 HMR in perspective, I relied on a tack driving Freedom Arms 252 to see what how the old WMR stacks up against this new kid on the block. This isn't really comparing apples to apples since the Freedom Arms 252 sports a 7 1/2-inch barrel and 2X Leupold scope, but it makes for a fair comparison, just the same. Federal's fantastic Premium 30-grain Sierra JHP load leaves the FA 252 doing 1,620 fps and it retains 1,477 fps at the target. This combo accounts for 175 ft-lbs of instrumental energy at 15 feet. At the 25-yard target this WMR combo accounted for 145 ft-lbs of energy. This load would probably do 1,550-1,570 fps from a 6 1/2-inch barrel and generate about 164 ft-lbs in the process. Don't ever believe that a WMR won't shoot either. The Federal/Freedom Arms combo averaged 3/4 inch with ragged one-hole groups the norm.I ran the ballistics through the Oehler Ballistic Explorer program and the .17 looks great on paper, too. As one would suspect, the .17 is flatter shooting. With a 25-yard zero, the .17 can be held dead-on to 90 yards or so, while the .22 WMR can be held dead-on to less than 70. At 100 yards the .17 drops two inches less. At 50 yards the Federal/WMR combo accounts for 113 ft-lbs energy while all three .17 loads are on the WMR's heels accounting for 100 ft-lbs or so. Although the .17 never catches the WMR, it gets close quickly, and it'll make a great hunting round for small game like rabbits, squirrels, gophers, and prairie dogs, if you keep things to 50 yards or so.While I wouldn't sell a good WMR to buy a new .17 HMR rig, I plan to add this new rimfire round to the collection. You don't have to pick up the brass or plan on reloading, either. Just load and shoot. Yep, this rimfire game is still as good as it gets.

Life insurance is a fundamentally difficult product to sell; it requires people to think about their deaths without promising any immediate returns.
And, despite tech innovations and the development of personalized services in other areas of finance, life insurance remains largely unchanged.
Luckily, there is a small but growing pocket of insurtech startups looking to modernize it. These companies are finding ways to digitize life insurance to appeal to consumers — and they're giving incumbents the opportunity to revamp traditional offerings, either by partnering with them or using their technology.
Business Insider Intelligence, Business Insider's premium research service, has forecasted the shifting landscape of life insurance in the The Future of Life Insurance report. Here are the key problems insurtechs are tackling:
- Lack of education: Forty percent of US consumers told the Life Insurance and Market Research Association (LIMRA) that they feel intimidated by the life insurance application process, often drastically overestimating its cost and facing uncertainty about how much or which type of coverage to buy.
- Inconvenient application process: It can take weeks or months for coverage to take effect because of the sheer number of meetings and parties combing through paperwork in each round of the application process. The risk for the insurer often warrants reviews from the carrier, a team of underwriters, a broker, and even a medical examiner.
- Low customer loyalty: Life insurance tends to be a "set it and forget it" type of purchase, with very few people revisiting it after buying. Insurers and consumers therefore have limited contact for most of the relationship — with the exception of an annual bill, of course.
- Inefficient data management and processing: The aggregate data life insurers rely on is typically fed into algorithms that make broad assumptions about particular populations, and often incorporate outdated medical documentation — all of which can delay applications and result in unnecessary rejections.
Want to learn more?
The need for modernization in life insurance is clear: Overall sales are slowing and policy ownership is hitting record lows. And because it's such a tightly-regulated space, innovation from incumbents has stagnated — but they're not helpless. Consumer-focused and insurer-focused startups have emerged to offer new technologies and process improvements.
The Future of Life Insurance report from Business Insider Intelligence looks at the two main strategies life insurtechs are adopting to drive change in this market, for the benefit of both buyers and sellers. In full, the report discusses best practices incumbents and startups should adopt to steer clear of the risks attached to applying emerging technologies to such a tightly regulated product.
Insurtech startups will soon set new industry standards and consumer expectations around this complex product. That, in turn will serve as a catalyst for innovation among legacy players.

Wall Connector Question
Wall Connector Question
You could have a 300 amp breaker, but the car will only draw what the onboard charger is designed for. That is what you were seeing with those loaners. I forget when exactly it was but Tesla did change the onboard chargers. Originally the car came with a single 10kw/40 amp charger that would get one a 29 MPH charging rate. Optional was an additional onboard charger, but to take advantage of it, you would also then need the HPWC which would be connected to a 100 amp circuit and get you a charging rate of 58-60 MPH. Again as I said, at a point Tesla dropped offering a second onboard charger and instead increased the standard onboard charger to 48 amps and offered a 72 (I believe) onboard charger.
@herrmdogg the Wall Connector has a max rating of 60AMP. The benefit of have 100AMP breaker over 60AMP breaker would be if you have 2 or more Wall Connectors connected to the circuit they could share in the capacity and each get a higher charge per hour.
Regardless of the Breaker, each car has it's max charge rate. If the older Model S was a smaller battery it could also have had a lower max charge rate.
I will use my Model 3 as an example. I have the LR (Long Range) version with the larger battery so I can charge at a max of 48AMP. If I plugged in say a Model 3 SR+ (Standard Range) version then that car has a max charge rate of 32AMP due to the smaller battery.
@Techy James - The Tesla wall connector can deliver up to 80 Amps of power depending on how the internal switches are set. But it is up to the car to determine how much power it can accept. If the wall connector can put out 80 amps, but the car will only accept 40 amps, then 40 amps is how much power will go into the car.
Older Model S/X had either a single or dual charger. It was either 40 or 80 amps of power that could be accepted. Newer S/X had either a 48 or 72 amp charger, and current S/X only have a 48 Amp charger.
@reed_lewis great explanation. I haven't heard a better, more accurate description in recent memory. Good to see correct info. Thanks.
@herrmdogg You are correct in that the 48 Amp is the Max that the Model 3 (Performance, Dual Motor, and LR RWD) supports.
multply is a bot, please flag
@herrmdogg - Yes. the highest amount of power you will get on any new Tesla is 48 Amps.
