General Battery Instructions (For Customers to Follow) -
We recommend having someone with electrical experience do the installation/wiring of the battery if you do not know how. Use extreme caution and wear safety gloves for installation. We recommend using Anderson connectors for the connection from the battery to the the controller. Be sure never to cross the positive and negative wires, this will short out the pack instantly and void the warranty. Warranty does not cover theft, or damages due to misuse.
Take good care of the battery. Protect it from the elements. Always use a surge protector for charging. This will protect the battery and charger from unexpected spikes in outlet voltage. Make sure to keep the battery fully charged as often as possible to extend the overall life. When the light on the charger turns green the battery is fully charged. The charger is 110/220 volt outlet compatible and has an automatic shutoff when fully charged. Keep the battery and charger away from open flames, water, small children, and do not leave in extreme temperatures. Store the battery at room temperature.
The battery we have shipped to you is fully charged. You can use a voltmeter to check the voltage level. You won't have to charge the battery again until after you first use it. During discharge the battery may get warm/ hot. This is ok. AllCell's proprietary thermal management system disburses the heat which helps improve performance compared to other battery types. We recommend allowing for air cooling for long distance rides. Battery capacity is lower in freezing temperatures.
Make sure the battery pack properly secured and protected and does not bounce around. We recommend not using any controller higher than 25 amps , or a motor more than 1000 watts because it will drain the battery life quicker. There is one pair of positive and negative wires on the battery that connect to the controller box, and the other pair connects to the charger.
Do not permanently attach the positive and negative wires to the controller. This will drain the battery continuously and can cause damage. We recommend disconnecting the battery to the controller each time when not in use and for charging. Do not charge the battery while the battery is still connected to the controller. Keep in mind under no circumstances can damaged or shorted batteries be sent back to us. It is illegal to knowingly ship damaged lithium batteries by mail. User error is the only cause of damages.
Email us if you have any questions firstname.lastname@example.com

A summer intern at our company with her TI-RSLK MAX.
The summer internship was nearing its end and the robotics competition was approaching fast. That's when Aaron Barrera realized that the closet doors in his apartment – off their hinges and leaning against a wall – would make a great practice maze to prepare for the competition.So Aaron and three electrical engineering classmates from the University of Florida – all summer interns at our company – laid the doors on the floor, rolled some strips of black electrical tape into a maze, assembled the TI-RSLK MAX in less than 15 minutes and began pushing the robotics system to its limits.
Aaron Barrera (center) and other members of the team programmed their TI-RSLK MAX before the intern competition this summer.
They wanted bragging rights from doing well in the competition, of course, but also understood how the robot could help them become better engineers as they looked ahead to graduation."You can propel yourself as an engineer, learn something in the process, and set yourself apart as somebody who likes to solve problems and innovate," said Sebastian Betancur, a member of the team.Bringing technology to lifeThe TI Robotics System Learning Kit family – with the TI-RSLK MAX being its newest addition – is a low-cost robotics kit and curriculum for the university classroom that is simple to build, code and test with solderless assembly. The system can solve a maze, follow lines and avoid obstacles. Students can use the curriculum to learn how to integrate hardware and software knowledge to build and test a system.
The system uses our SimpleLink™ MSP432P401R microcontroller (MCU) LaunchPad™ Development Kit, easy-to-use sensors and a chassis board that transforms the robot into a learning experience. Students can use wireless communication and Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities to control the robot remotely or enable robots to communicate with each other."From an academic standpoint, the topics are rich – from circuits and software to interfacing and systems and the Internet of Things," said Jon Valvano, the University of Texas at Austin electrical and computer engineering professor who collaborated with our team to develop the TI-RSLK family. "And it's done in a way that is fun and understandable by students. The TI-RSLK is educationally powerful."And its benefits extend beyond the classroom."In the future, students will have to self-learn and adapt," said Ayesha Mayhugh, a university product manager at our company. "We don't know how our jobs are going to change in the future. Having the ability to bring these complex concepts to life and be a self-learner, beyond what is taught in classrooms, will be critical for success."
Jon Valvano, a University of Texas at Austin professor, collaborated with our team to develop the TI-RSLK family of educational robots.
Learning platformThe University of Florida team spent some long, pizza-fueled weekends in Aaron's Dallas apartment – interrupted with occasional video games – to program their robot and prepare for the intern competition in late July. Competitors were judged on the speed their robots navigated the maze, the amount of power they used and innovation. The team from Florida didn't win, but they did appreciate the new robot and the support behind it."It's a really good learning platform," said Daniel Bermudez, also a member of the team from the University of Florida. "People who work with this can see how an embedded processor can be used for fun and learning."
"It is very well made," team member Colin Adema said. "The documentation, the code and other support helped a lot. We could have been metaphorically and literally spinning our wheels without that support, but being able to just start it up and start implementing our own code and algorithms pushed us to keep working."
Good article specifically on bringing engineering concepts to life for everyone. Hoping to have this kit also as it always reminds me that I still can play with codes and stuffs.

Ducks Sign D Larsson to Three-Year Entry-Level Contractby Staff Writer / Anaheim Ducks
The Ducks have signed defenseman Jacob Larsson to a three-year entry-level contract. Per club policy, financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Larsson, 19 (4/29/97), made his North American debut with the San Diego Gulls in Game 2 of the American Hockey League (AHL) Pacific Division Finals on May 7 vs. Ontario. The 6-2, 191-pound defenseman played a majority of the 2015-16 season with Frolunda of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL), scoring 5-9=14 points with a +11 rating and 10 penalty minutes (PIM). Larsson also added three assists (0-3=3) in 16 playoff games to help Frolunda to the SHL Championship.
Selected by Anaheim in the first round (27th overall) of the 2015 NHL Draft, Larsson has represented his country at the 2016 World Junior Championship in Helsinki, the 2015 Under-18 World Junior Championship, the 2014 Ivan Hlinka Memorial and the 2014 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge. He was also named the Top Defenseman in Sweden's Under-18 league in 2013-14 after scoring 9-16=25 points in 38 games.

So it's been a little while since the March against Monsanto, but Emily and I have been busy getting started in our new job at Grand Teton National Park. So far so good.
I'll just say now that the March was amazing. The night before Emily and I were jazzed up from the day's events; graduating our EMT class and going out for bowling with her family. We stayed up late making big signs out of some cardboard we found in a dumpster and her raft paddles. Emily's sister even helped when she stuck a box on her head and had a great idea for a face- related sign that would later prove consequential. Being our first real protest we learned right away that markers , no matter how big are not the way to go. We squeaked away for hours, next time we'll get some paint.
The next day, Saturday May 25th, Emily and I set out with her Mom Becky, Sister Kelsey, and even Kelsey's adorable baby Eloise, for Balboa Park near Downtown San Diego. As we walked through the park toward the fountain where everyone was to meet we didn't notice any other protesters. For a few minutes it seemed like it would just be the five of us walking through the avenues of the park. As we got to the fountain we were relieved to see a large gathering already several hundred strong. There were signs of every kind shape and sign sticking every direction out of the throng of people gathered there. Everyone was listening to a kind of pep talk before we set out to march.
We found a good spot to listen and eagerly waved our signs at each other and passersby on the road. Some people would honk in support while others stared in obvious confusion. Emily wore the face sign, and I held the two paddle signs. We got quite a few compliments. Even baby Eloise sported a sign that said "I'm just a baby, please stop poisoning me." She certainly got a lot of attention with that one (also for just plain being cute.)
As more and more people gathered I couldn't help but get excited. At this point the percentage of the American population that is actually asking questions about where their food is coming from is sadly very small. It is easy at times to feel out there on the fringe. Yet here was a consolidated, energized, and adamant group of people, downright angry people, all gathered to tell the world that there is a big problem with our food. All of us were concerned about the global food monopoly this small group of gigantic corporations has on the world. All of us angry that our country can't connect the dots between the corrupted food we eat and the ever worsening state of public health. All angry that the Food and Drug Administration might as well be a subsidiary of those same corporations, their policy and enforcements laughable in defending public health. Seeing those people there and joining with them was simply exhilarating and refreshing. The thought in my head at that point was that we were joining two million people in over three hundred sister protests all over the world. We were not alone and crazy after all.
At some point Emily got tired of her head- box-sign and we switched. Not long after that a Channel Ten news reporter must have noticed and cornered me for an interview. On one hand this was great; Emily and I had been wondering if the media would even cover the event. Despite two million people worldwide all Marching Against Monsanto we wouldn't have been surprised if it had "somehow" gone totally unreported. On the other hand all of a sudden I was a public face for the movement and am not a good speaker. And all because of a last minute corny face sign. Yikes! Well I didn't do horrible, and was on the news that night. I believe I am quoted online as well at channel ten news\
And so we all got excited and all set out marching, through the wide boulevard of the Balboa Park, toting signs and garnering all sorts of strange confused looks. Somehow our numbers had been masked by gathering, once we were set in motion the full effect became obvious. There were thousands of people marching down a wide lane, all dressed in red and waving signs. Two thousand had responded to attend by Facebook, yet it was obvious there were at least three thousand people, a scarlet river proceeding down the road. And then we were suddenly crossing the bridge into town. We had thought we were marching only through the park and were a bit surprised. Sure enough though the police were there escorting us through the city of San Diego, holding up lines of traffic while this half mile parade marched on, chanting it's mission. "If it's safe why can't we know?…. Label aa-ll GMO's"
We marched nearly to Downtown, and then made a timely and refreshing stop at the San Diego Farmers Market. It was a fitting destination, simultaneously decrying the corporate food system and supporting local farmers. Unfortunately it was only a halfway point before we turned to march through downtown and back to the park. After a twenty minute break the march resumed at half strength when many people were lost in the confusion of the market. We marched around the city and headed back up the hill to Balboa Park. A total of three miles, it was a good haul for several thousand sign waving protesters.
One unintended consequence of all this hit me early on. Emily's family was with us that day mostly because they had no choice. They wanted to spend time with us on our last day in San Diego before we left for our summer jobs in the Tetons. They were not part of this movement however they came and learned a great deal about why we went that day. Despite our efforts, I'm fairly sure Emily's mother thought we were nuts for everything we do and how we spend our money on food. But I saw her there listening to the speakers before the march, really listening to all the facts, and it was profound. She was deeply impresed when the speaker related one particularly shocking fact: that 270,000 farmers in India have committed suicide due to Monsanto's activity there. We are grateful her family came to support us. So now I know it can happen; we can make change. If we can just spread awareness of what is going on people will respond.

- Publish date:
"Licensees and networks are hereby notified that, effective October 16, 1974, they will be required to disclose clearly, publicly and prominently during each broadcast of an athletic event, the existence of any arrangement whereby announcers broadcasting that event may be directly or indirectly, chosen, paid, approved and/or removed by parties other than the licensee and/or network upon which that event is broadcast."
The preceding legalistic language was brought to you in August by the Federal Communications Commission. Essentially it requires sportscasters whose livelihoods are controlled by the team they cover to declare that fact to the fans. Among the 80 U.S.-based NFL, NBA, NHL and major league baseball clubs, 24 have their own hired hands broadcasting their games on TV or radio or both. The FCC's ruling presumably was designed to help separate the team-controlled shills from the journalists who are under obligation to no one except their stations. The new stipulation may help do that to some extent, but as discerning fans already know—or will find out quickly—it is not always possible to tell a shill by his "disclaimer."
Baseball will be first to feel the impact of the FCC's action, during NBC's presentation of the World Series. "Our lawyers are working on it," says NBC Vice-President Chet Simmons. "We have a strange contract with baseball under which each competing team is allowed to assign an announcer to our Series broadcasts. Now what are we up against? Supposing we get one announcer who is paid by a team and another who is not?"
That problem is minor compared to others suggested by CBS Vice-President Bob Wussler: "Let's say that early next April 1 might want to do a show about the forthcoming baseball season. Everybody knows that Vin Scully of the Dodgers would be a perfect guy to narrate the program. Maybe I would think about using Scully with the disclaimer. Maybe I wouldn't use Scully at all because of it. And numerous situations exist where announcers employed by teams also do news for a station. If a guy is out announcing a baseball game in the afternoon and stumbles across the fact that three players in the bullpen are using dope, do you think that's going to show up on the 10 p.m. news?"
One deceptive aspect of the rule is that it implies that an announcer paid by a team is automatically a shill. Scully is indeed paid by the Dodgers, but he is also the best reporter covering any team in any sport for radio or TV. "I criticize bad play by the Dodgers and Walter O'Malley never says a word," Scully says.
But few team-controlled announcers work under the conditions Scully does. "We don't want people to falsify information, but we're selling a product like Wheaties tries to sell theirs," says Minnesota Twins Vice-President Billy Robertson. One of the Twins' announcers receives half his salary from the team, although the money technically is paid out by the club's advertising agency. That broadcaster is Larry Calton, whose application for the Minnesota job included promising Robertson, "If I don't put a million people in the ball park, I'll give you back half my salary."
At least Calton will have to admit his connection with the team over the air. Other, even more blatant homers will not, among them Detroit Lion radiomen Van Patrick and Bob Reynolds, who are often seen wearing team blazers. As things stand now, they will escape having to make a disclaimer because their livelihoods, at least theoretically, are controlled by a station.
It is hardly startling that a regulation as haphazardly effective as the disclosure rule was prompted by a hazy dispute between an announcer and his employer. The broadcaster was Shelby Whitfield, once a play-by-play man for the Washington Senators. In 1973 a book entitled Kiss It Goodbye was ghostwritten for Whitfield. In a chapter called "Radio Moscow Has More Freedom," he charged that Senators' Owner Bob Short told him not to say it was raining when it was, to eliminate National League scores from the broadcasts and not to bring up the fact that Washington left runners on base.
"I don't think a man broadcasting your games should be deprecating the product, and the best way to make sure he doesn't is to see that you're in a hire-and-fire situation," Short says. "Whitfield would be giving out National League scores when we had the bases loaded and Frank Howard up with a 3-2 count. He said I directed him to tell people it wasn't raining when it was. Well, I wouldn't have done that, but I also know he wasn't being paid to be a weatherman. We were trying to sell tickets and beer. I don't see what effect that new FCC disclaimer will have. It's just a political thing. If you're going to listen to a Shelby Whitfield, what does it mean that there's a disclaimer at the end saying he's paid by Bob Short?"
Although he disagrees with Short on the question of tickets and beer, Bill King, the radio voice of the Oakland Raiders and one of pro basketball's best and most forthright announcers even though his salary is paid by the Golden State Warriors, concurs with Short about the FCC ruling. "It doesn't matter so much who's doing the hiring as it does what's in the man behind the mike," King says. "Out of all this uproar comes this innocuous little announcement that allows the FCC to say, 'This is truth in advertising. We're protecting you.' "
Well the commission is giving some protection. The question is: How much?

Invisibility Eye Glitch Multifix (by jimkaiseriv)
This is a possible replacement for Invisibility Glitch Eyes Fix (by KingsGambit), which is currently in STEP.
From the mod page:
There are several approaches to fixing the invisibility eye glitch. One is a mesh approach, which works great for the player but not for other Actors. Another is a scripted approach, which corrects all Actor's eyes after an invisibility effect ends, but may cause brief visual disruption for the player character.
In a thread discussing suggested bugfixes in addition to the USKP, the values of both approaches were brought up. In particular:QUOTEIsharaMeradin, on 16 Jul 2014 - 9:53 PM, said:
I had to test this.
Mesh fix:
-- Works for Player without fail
-- Does not work on NPCs
Script fix:
-- Works immediately on NPCs (cannot see any glitched eyes)
-- Works slowly on Player (can see glitched eyes for a few moments)
Why not a dual solution? Apply the mesh fix for the player and script for the NPC.
I couldn't agree more. This mod applies both fixes: the mesh fix for the player, and the script fix for every other Actor. There is an MCM which allows you to configure additional options for the script, including a hotkey which applies the fix to all Actors within a distance of one cell. This will correct the issue for any NPC currently experiencing the glitch, and provides additional compatibility for invisibility effects added by mods.
Script lag should not be an issue for anyone. There are no scripts which are run constantly. The scripts are attached to spell effects that cause invisibility, and are triggered when the effect ends. Besides checking for certain conditions, the only real thing they do in most cases is call QueueNiNodeUpdate() on the Actor.
This seems like the best of both worlds, and it would be the preferred option if it works like it says. The only downside is that the current fix is a master for the STEP Compilation.

In Guinea and the forests of West Africa, there is a hidden history of enriching the soil with natural techniques handed down through generations to sustain food crops without artificial fertilizers.
Source: How Africans Are Saving Their Own Soil
Fairhead and his colleagues analyzed 150 sites in northwest Liberia and 27 sites in Ghana and discovered that the enriched soils, dubbed "African Dark Earths," contain 200 to 300 percent more organic carbon than nearby soils and can support more intensive farming. They also contain 2 to 26 times greater amounts of pyrogenic carbon, which persists longer in soil than other carbons and is important for soil fertility.

Two of Hip Hop heavyweights are going at it again…but this time it won't be on the Bilboard charts or with Ticketmaster sales…instead it will be in your local Foot Locker, Champ Sports, or other sneaker outlets. Drake and his OVO team have signed an exclusive deal with none other than the kings of athletic footwear, Nike and Team Jordan. Say whaaaaaaaaat!!!!
Checkmate Drake.
Sorry Kanye, Drizzy's boss, is the king of all sneakers…His airness himself, Michael Jordan.
Kanye went on numerous rants over the last couple of weeks voicing his displeasure with Nike who did not want to give him an exclusive shoe deal. After creating the ever exclusive Air Yeezys, Kanye thought Nike owed him a deal, and wanted royalites to produce his own sneaker and clothing lines. Nike said "Eh Eh," and became the negatron to Kanye's artistic vision and goals. Kanye was NOT happy about this. Kanye went on the Angie Martinez show on Hot 97 in New York City and blasted to the world his displeasure with Nike and that he was signing with ADIDAS.
Adidas confirmed this signing yesterday with a press release welcoming Kanye to the Adidas family. Ye's deal is expected to be in the $10 million range and includes royalties which Kanye made sure he got a piece of. At the time I thought that was a great move. Hey, if you can't get the big dawg, go for his little brother. Ye made that move and had to be happy with what was going down until the news he found out today…
Last night at Drake's concert in Portland, America's favorite sensitive rapper dropped this gem on the world…
YEP…Drake has just ONE UPPED Kanye West and signed a deal with Team Jordan
All Day I Dream About Signing w team jordan
Is that what ADIDAS now stands for? Ouch Kanye. Everybody loves Team Jordan…Evvvvvvverrrrrrrry body. Including Mr. West. Terms of the Drake-Jordan deal have not been disclosed yet, but you know it's pretty official when Mr. Jordan sends out a tweet about it.
This has to make Kanye a little upset right? I mean Nike is the king of the throne. Isn't Kanye supposed to be watching the Throne? Drake stepped right up into that prime spot and is now sitting pretty in the sneaker world. Kanye loves to be the alpha dog. That's who he is. He is a cannibal on the mic and LOVES publicity. Drake just bit a nice healthy piece of humble pie out of Ye's cake and has served it to him on a silver platter. I wonder if the Jump Man logo is on the bottom of that plate…

September 30th, 2018
(NOTE: While this post seeks to provide a defense for Annihilationism, I present it not because I definitively affirm the view, but rather to provide an interesting alternative worth considering.)
Orthodox Christian theology has always affirmed the existence of both heaven and hell. Anyone who has currently, or in the past, denied the reality of either of these two places has been deemed as someone who falls into heresy on this particular subject matter. Diversity, however, presents itself in the discussion about the exact nature of hell. What exactly is hell and what happens to those who go there? When the Bible addresses hell as being a place of "eternal destruction", does that mean that people in hell will face the process of destruction eternally or will they be eternally destroyed? Two lines of thought have emerged in evangelical theology that attempt to answer these questions: The Classical view and the Annihilationist view.
Support for the Annihilationist view on hell can be found in both the Old and the New Testaments. Passages in the Old Testament that address the final fate of the wicked use words and phrases that seem to suggest annihilation. For example, Isaiah states that "those who forsake the Lord will perish" (Isaiah 1:28, NIV). The psalmist in Psalms 1 says that "the way of the wicked leads to destruction" (Psalms 1:6, NIV). In a similar vein, the psalmist in Psalm 37 states that "the wicked will perish" and that "they will be consumed" (Psalm 37:20, NIV). One of the sayings in Proverbs makes the claim that "the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out" (Proverbs 24:20, NIV). All of the terms that these various authors use, "perish", "destruction", "snuffed out", point toward some form of annihilation, at least if the language is taken at face value. Nahum declares that the wicked "will be consumed like dry stubble" (Nahum 1:10, NIV). The word "consumed" seems to suggest a final state of non-existence. Malachi seems to suggest a similar fate when he states that evildoers will be "set on fire" and "not a root or a branch will be left to them" (Malachi 4:1, NIV). If not even a "root" will be left of evildoers, then how could they possible endure a process of punishment eternally? In order to support the Classical view of hell, all of these words and phrases need to be redefined in order to signify some form of conscious torment.
The New Testament talks about the nature of hell in a similar vein to the Old Testament. Jesus, when talking to the disciples, tells them to not fear "those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul" but to instead fear "the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell" (Matthew 10:28, NIV). This suggests that in the same way that people possess the capability to kill another person's body, God can kill a person's soul. This comparison, therefore, implies a termination of existence. Peter presents some harsh words against false teachers and states that "their destruction has not been sleeping" (2 Peter 2:3, NIV). Paul similarly states that for those who are enemies of the cross, "their destiny is destruction" (Philippians 3:19, NIV). Both Peter and Paul use the term "destruction" which indicates a termination of existence. This term does not line up with the Classical view which claims that the wicked experience endless suffering and are not actually destroyed.
It is also important to recognize that Scripture talks about immortality or eternal life as a gift. Jesus, when talking to Nicodemus, states that "whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16, NIV). Paul, talking to the church in Galatia, says that "whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life" (Galatians 6:8, NIV). Eternal life, then, only comes to those who live in unity with God through the Spirit. The Classical view on hell, however, assumes that the soul is inherently immortal, a view which largely stems from the influence of Neo-Platonism, and will therefore be eternally conscious, whether in heaven or in hell.
A supporting argument for the Annihilationist view is that it seems most compatible with the idea of God's final victory over all things. Paul tells the church in Ephesus that God intends to "bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ" (Ephesians 1:10, NIV). If there will exist, however, a vast number of souls who will eternally oppose God, as the Classical view suggests, then how can there ever be unity among all things under Christ? It seems that there would exist an endless state of disunity. The Annihilationist view solves this problem by stating that ultimately all those who oppose Christ will cease to exist. Therefore, only those united with Christ will remain, resulting in an eventual state of unity, as Paul talks about in Ephesians.
A common objection to the Annihilationist view on hell is that it seems to completely remove the fear of hell. Why should anyone turn to God if there is nothing to fear in rejecting Him? First, the Annihilationist view, however, does not deny that those who reject God will endure suffering in hell for a period of time. It simply argues that this suffering will not be everlasting. Second, it should be the love and goodness of God that drives people to repentance and salvation, not the fear of hell. It is difficult to say that a person truly loves God if they repent solely out of a fear of punishment. It should also be noted that none of the apostles used a fear of hell to bring people to Christ in the book of Acts.
Another objection that some raise is that if the wicked do not suffer eternally, then justice is not served; the wicked must consciously experience eternal punishment if God is truly just. Two things might be said in response to this. Firstly, how is it just for a finite number of sins to be met with infinite punishment? Secondly, what is the ultimate purpose? Justice seeks to make right that which is wrong. However, if people are to suffer eternally then it seems that things will never ultimately be made right, rendering hell a place of purposeless retribution.

El Calentico - Qbanito0:00
Neiver Alberto Alvarez "Qbanito" was born in Havana, Cuba in 1979. Qbanito grew up in Guanabacoa, a neighborhood known as the home of the Cuban rumba. It was here that Qbanito's passion and interest for music began. Throughout the 80's and 90's, U.S. music trends like Hip Hop and R & B made their way to Cuba. Young Qbanito became a fan of artists like Puff Daddy, Notorious BIG, Fat Joe, and TuPac. American music took Cuban youth by storm. As a young teen, Qbanito paired up with a neighborhood friend and wrote his first songs. The young boys mixed the beats of American Hip Hop with the Cuban rhythms they grew up listening to.
Qbanito is currently living in Miami, working on new material for his upcoming CD.

Cynar is an artichoke based bitter. Its distinctive flavour is enriched an infusion of 13 herbs and plants, making it a completely natural drink, rich in scents and a unique taste . It perfectly conserves all the health properties of the ingredients used in its preparation. Only moderately alcoholic (16.5%) Cynar is a modern and versatile drink that is always welcome.
Cynar is a perfect bitter for an after-dinner digestive and can be enjoyed straight or with ice. For a younger flavour, it can be mixed with tonic water or with a splash of soda water, and softened with a slice of orange.
Cynar was launched on the market in 1952, and its history is closely tied to its successful television advertisements interpreted in the 1960s by Ernesto Calindri. In 1995 Cynar became part of Gruppo Campari that has grown the brand into a "digestif apertif" and a market leader in the "after dinner bitter" category.

ITB Horticulture student scoops Student Entrepreneur Award
Congratulations to Geoff Wright from Longford who recently won a merit award for his company titled "grO2" at this year's Student Entrepreneur Awards which were held recently at NUI Galway.
Geoff, who is a final year Horticulture student at the Institute of Technology Blanchardstown, pitched his idea for a newly designed plant pot that has the potential to result in drastic cost savings for wholesale container plant nurseries.
According to Geoff, 'No design for a pot currently exists that is suitable for automated production at scale, particularly for low-value herbaceous plants. My plant production process idea brings the benefits to wholesale commercial production – an industry worth 26 billion euros in Europe alone'.
Geoff went on to say 'The horticulture syllabus at IT Blanchardstown is very broad and contains many enterprise/entrepreneurial subjects that have contributed to my reaching the finals of the 2018 Student Entrepreneur Awards'.
Sponsored by Enterprise Ireland, Cruickshank Intellectual Property Attorneys and Grant Thornton, the Student Entrepreneur Awards offers third level students from all academic disciplines and courses of study the opportunity to realise their entrepreneurial ambitions. Geoff's idea faced stiff competition against ten other finalists from across the country, ultimately winning a merit along with a cash prize of €1,500. Well done Geoff!

The nature reserve is always a welcome break after another busy and stressful week in which we've done endless trips to the clinic and hospital, sorted out some training for our planned 'Home Based Care Team' and been incredibly frustrated by leaders who are supposed to support the work but continually undermine our efforts and role within Chris Nissen.
This week has started off pretty much the same as last week, with Dean doing a clinic run early this morning, deep joy. We're not sure how this happened, but Joel is a real 'earlybird' whilst Mum & Dad are most definitely not. We think maybe the DNA needs rewiring, alternatively bring on the teenage years.
Eli trying new positions with his dummy
Waiting patiently for food
Joel rushing back from seeing Spikey, eager to tell Daddy about the dead 'turtle' he saw on his way!
Joel tormenting a tortoise
Hooray, food at last!
The aliens have most definitely landed!

What's The New 'American Idol' Prize? The 2018 Judges Are Looking For A Superstar
Without American Idol, the world might not have ever been exposed to the incredible talents of Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, or Chris Daughtry, just to name a few of the show's most successful alums. Though the winners of the past few seasons haven't quite lived up to the show's early superstars, they still got to walk home with the top prize. But exactly what is the prize for winning the American Idol reboot?
A spokesperson for ABC told Bustle that the grand prize for the winner of the new American Idol is a guaranteed recording contract with Hollywood Records and a cash prize of $250,000. So the new crop of contestants fighting their way to Hollywood are also fighting for a coveted recording contract. Though this is an extraordinary prize, it's actually somewhat reduced from the prize winners received in Idol's heyday.
According to a 2010 report by The New York Times, $650,000 is the minimum that an American Idol winner could receive, at least in the early seasons of the show, and that's even before factoring in the record contract that is included in the prize. The report states that a typical advance on a record contract would be anywhere from $100,000 to $150,000, but the "Idol contract potentially binds the artist to the show's producers for up to seven years, roughly twice as long as a typical first contract." Contestants also stood to make additional money through promotional activities after the season wraps. Per The New York Times, contestants could earn money via the American Idol tour, for one.
But the recording contracts that the show's original contestants signed with 19 Entertainment came with reported conditions attached. The same NYT report reveals that some of the contracts required the contestant to give 19 Entertainment 15 percent of their profits "as a manager's fee." The contract reportedly lasted for three years, but the NYT reported that some stipulations let 19 Entertainment earn a percentage of the artists' profits for a decade.
But the prize of the show doesn't even factor in the multitude of benefits that could come just from the exposure the show provides. Sometimes the contestants who didn't win the top prize actually walk away with some of the most successful careers.
Jennifer Hudson was famously eliminated early on in Season 3 of the show, and now she has won an Academy Award, starred in a hit Broadway show, and has appeared as a judge on The Voice. Chris Daughtry's infamously shocking Season 5 elimination led to his successful career with his band Daughtry. Katharine McPhee was the Season 5 runner-up, but she went on to star in TV shows like Smash and Scorpion.
Bottom line: Though the winner might take home the guaranteed recording contract, finalists have just as good an opportunity to gain success in their career from the incredible nationwide platform that American Idol provides.
And this season, the new judges are determined to find a true star. "Literally, we are wasting our time if we are not finding another star," Perry said during the Television Critics Association's winter press tour, per The Hollywood Reporter. "I take it very seriously, sometimes to my detriment." Luke Bryan echoed the sentiment at the same event. "That makes us work harder as a judging panel, because there are a few years where you don't remember those contestants, we don't want it to go that way. We want it to go right back to what it was known for," Bryan said, per The Hollywood Reporter.
So whoever takes home that grand prize this season will have to measure up to the Kelly Clarksons and Carrie Underwoods that came before them. But whether or not they will have the career longevity of Idol's two biggest success stories, they are guaranteed that recording contract and a sweet $250,000. Who could be sad with that?

CPAG's response to the Work and Pensions Select Committee Inquiry in the future of Jobcentre Plus focuses on the role of Jobcentres in supporting claimants into work.
We argue for the value of high-quality, personalised, one-to-one support, with investment in a high quality relationship between adviser and claimant. This should be driven by a positive culture of collaboration and voluntary engagement, and underpinned by a public service ethos, focused on the best interests of clients and assisting them to achieve their goals, rather than a target-driven approach with heavy emphasis on monitoring and ensuring compliance. Claimant commitments should be two-way, setting out support which will be provided as well as requirements on the claimant.

An up-and-coming executive engages with an important sales prospect, client, supplier, partner, or colleague on par with his or her degree of comfort and security with the other party. The more seniority the other is perceived to have relative to his/her own, the more anxiety and insecurity is induced, the less is said, and the less impact results from the interaction. Pushing to the highest possible level of engagement drives the best results and accelerates career progression.
It makes sense for the up-and-coming executive to think of it as climbing a staircase. The first step is the most basic level of engagement, is easy enough to do, but adds little-to-no value. Each step is easier than otherwise when it builds off of the last but is progressively more difficult and riskier to take. The top step generates extraordinary value and takes the most effort and nerve to do, especially for the first time.
Take the steps in order, go as high as possible in an interaction, and then strive to achieve a higher level next time. With each experience and successful interaction, the executive matures, gains perspective, and gets on track to providing maximum value and career growth.
The steps are easier to follow if the emerging executive is more senior in terms of age or position than the other party. A younger, less-experienced executive needs to push through to muster the courage and determination, early in his or her career, to move up the steps of engagement when given the opportunity to interact with prospects, customers, suppliers, partners, and colleagues who are more senior.
Not pushing to the next step may seem like the safer course but the limit of that strategy means hitting the top rung only with others who are younger and/or who have less experience … which implies waiting to provide the most value until one is older and/or has more tenure. There is no reason even for the earliest-stage executive to wait to realize his or her full potential to generate great value. Working up the staircase allows anyone to be more successful sooner and not waiting until gray hairs come naturally.
In the quest to provide top value, up-and-coming executives may wonder how they could possibly add insights, challenge points, and provide useful coaching, instruction and advice (that is, climbing steps four, five, and six) with only a few years of knowledge and experience. The good news is that no one, even the most junior professional, has to do it alone. The full breadth and weight of the organization's experience and wisdom can and should be drawn on and put to work preparing for every high-stakes executive interaction.
Those who most effectively draw upon, internalize, use, and add to the broader capacity and competence of their organization's collective knowledge and experience with each executive engagement will do the most good and earn the right to do even more the soonest. Strive to operate in every situation as the best and most informed in the organization would if they could. Doing so is a highly coveted form of leverage that allows a person to perform at a far higher level than one would expect and serves him or her, and their organization, well.

Param Pujaniya Maharaj,
I was mesmerized in your visit to BFN, enchanted to read the report of Navilla Somaru, watching the slides, children and the wonderful plants and roses. The whole two-day events transported me to BHA from this cold and wet England. Surely Maharaj, this place (BFN) is unique too.
I was wondering about the vast number of Hindus who are living there. Having tasted the "amrita" (nectar) for a brief period, I am sure the members of BHA will be panting for more in future. Can one be satisfied with the "boiled rice water" (fena) when once tasted the nectar (amrita)?
While watching you with the Somarus and their pets in the photo album, I thought of the blessed dogs of Swamiji in Belur Math over hundred years ago.
Your blog uplifts so many people like me who live so far away in different countries.

A funny thing happened on the way to voting on the Democrats' Green New Deal (GND). With 'earth in the balance,' the proposal for fixing climate change — and so much more! — was granted its first procedural vote in the GOP-controlled U.S. Senate.
It failed, 0-57.
Sen. Edward Markey (D-Mass.), the Senate sponsor, along with 41 other Democrats* and independent Bernie Sanders, voted "present" to protest what he called "sabotage," claiming Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) "wants to silence your voice."
Au contraire! McConnell longed to hear Democrats sing the bill's praises — loud, proud, and on the record.
After the vote, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) absurdly made the opposite accusation: Republicans were "climate delaying . . . costing us lives + destroying communities."
Meanwhile, "If the Green New Deal came up for a vote in the Democrat-controlled House," USA Today reports, "it would have trouble passing."
"It's a list of aspirations," says Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who does not plan to bring it to a vote. Though Democrats want to address climate change, the speaker points out that the "bill has many things that have nothing to do with climate."
Rep. Elaine Luria, (D-Va.) echoes Pelosi: "[T]he Green New Deal is aspirational." Rep. Sean Casten, (D-Ill.) adds, "The aspirations of the Green New Deal are great."**
But is the GND something "great" to which Americans should aspire?
Only if they yearn for government-monopolized healthcare, free college tuition, micro-management of the economy, and government providing everyone a job, except those who don't want one . . . who would get a guaranteed income, regardless.
I aspire to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.
* In the Senate, three Democrats — Sens. Doug Jones (Ala.), Joe Manchin (W.Va.), and Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.) — and independent Sen. Angus King (Maine) joined all 53 Republicans in voting No.
** All four House co-chairs of the New Democrat Coalition's Climate Change Task Force — Casten and Luria as well as Don Beyer, (D-Va.) and Susan Wild, (D-Pa.) — have come out in opposition to the GND.

February 2011 0 Senior Caregiving, Caregiving Issues (1) Senior caregivers for seniors with Parkinson's disease know the many challenges this disease presents for caregiving: taking medications on time throughout the day, monitoring for falls and understanding memory loss that can occur. Scientists have just identified 5 new genes linked to Parkinson's disease which could soon lead to a diagnostic test for the disease which currently has no cure. It usually strikes around age 50 but some, such as actor Michael J. Fox, develop the disease earlier. Environmental factors have long been thought to contribute to the disease. The average person has a 2.5 % chance of developing the disease in their lifetime. As this disease is progressive, it can take a significant toll on caregivers, too. One of my dearest friends from high school has been assisting with her father's care for the past 20 years. He found out he had Parkinson's Disease the week after he had retired early. She built a wheelchair ramp when she built a new house and has learned to cherish the time that she has to spend with him, while watching this disease slowly take away his physical capabilities and mental capacity. As a degenerative brain disease, Parkinson's strikes when brain cells don't make enough of the chemical dopamine. This leads to tremors, rigidity and slowness of movement. There is no cure for the disease but the gene discovery That leads to symptoms including tremors, rigidity and slowness of movement. There are limited treatments and no cure for the disease. Caregiver training can assist with caregiving skills for seniors with Parkinson's disease. And if you Google, the good news is one of the Google founders, Sergey Brin, has donated millions to Parkinson's Disease research as his mother has the disease. Your Googling is helping to find a cure for Parkinson's! Read more in this New York Times article.
