Miller's Select Crabmeat -- It's Out of This World
"Miller's Select Crab will soon be heading for the International Space Station. Each astronaut is allowed a "bonus food allotment" to bring some of the comforts of home to outer space. For one of the astronauts, the choice includes several cans of Miller's Select Jumbo Lump Crab Meat."
When It Comes to Living in Space, It's a Matter of Taste, Scientific American
"Astronaut Scott Parazynski--a physician and veteran of five shuttle missions who has studied human fluid shifts during spaceflight, subscribes to the nasal congestion theory. "It's the same as having a cold or allergies," he says, "a stuffy nose definitely dampens your sense of smell and consequently your sense of taste." As for his own experience, Parazynski, who admits he is not a fan of shrimp cocktail on Earth, says he couldn't get enough of it on orbit. He's not alone--this is a favorite among astronauts, particularly because of the spicy, horseradish-based sauce that coats the shrimp."

GFS Gold Foil Pickups – Custom Strat Wire Diagram
GFS Gold Foil Pickups – Advanced HSH custom pickguard
GFS Gold Foil Pickups are the pickups powering this Partcaster. I made this beauty almost three years ago using parts from different places.
GFS Gold Foil Pickups
I bought the gold foil pickups on the guitar fetish website. The site is a great alternative to mods guitars cheaply without passing on quality. I think that Artec manufactures most of the electronic on sale at the site. I personally really like Artec pickups that I consider as good as better established brand such as Seymor Duncan and Dimarzio.
GFS Gold Foil Pickups are offered in different shapes. You can get them as humbuckers and single coil pickups. On this custom strat, I decided to make an HSH pickguard featuring my favorite wiring mods as well as an Artec VPS onboard booster.
About the Artec VTC booster
I already reviewed the Artec VTC booster in another Article on this site using the same custom strat. Check about it following this link if you're… Continue reading
Tony Iommi Pickups Magnum 4 and hyperflux 5 & Guitar Roller Nut – Les Paul Junior Double Cutaway Kit Update
Tony Iommi Pickups by John Birch – Amazing Upgrade
Tony Iommi Pickups were one of the few pickup's types missing to my arsenal of guitars. If you remember my previous article about my last build, I had installed Tonerider Rebel 90 pickups on it.
Everything was fine, and the beauty just sounded perfect. The only problem was, my SG equipped with neodymium Entwistle pickups have the same sound when set to split mode. Considering the SG has a Gibson scale and sports the same tremolo, it was a duplicate.
Why upgrading a brand new built?
Even if I look like a crazy shopaholic guitar collector, I'm not. I know I have way too many guitars, but still, each and every one of them is unique and sounds different from the other 19. I spend my time trying new mods on my test strat to make them as different as possible. I had probably rebuilt each of them 3 or 4 times already.
The Les Paul Junior Double Cutaway Kit was,… Continue reading
Electric Guitar Kit – Les Paul Junior Double Cutaway Kit – Tonerider Rebel 90 pickups & Artec BCU
Electric Guitar Kit
This article is about my latest build. A Les Paul Junior Double Cutaway Kit featuring two ToneRider Rebel 90 pickups and an Artec BCU.
The BCU is a Band Control Unit onboard frequency booster that I already reviewed on two different guitars in this article. Check it out if you want to have a deeper test of this unit.
The Les Paul Junior Double Cutaway Kit
I bought this kit on AliExpress for the small price of $179, shipping included.
The regular Les Paul Junior Double Cutaway Kit features only one P90 pickup routing, an Adjustable Wraparound Bridge, and a tiny cavity for two potentiometers only. A Volume and a Tone pot.
I knew before ordering that I'd be installing a Stetsbar tremolo that requires a Tune-o-Matic support (4 holes), two humbuckers and a four potentiometer electronic with a 3 position Metric Toggle Switch.
So, before ordering, I contacted the seller to know if he could do those mods for me and at what cost.

Red Special Wiring Schematic Using Only 3 On-On-On Toggle switches – PTB Tone Control & Solo Switch
Red Special Wiring Plan – The Best and Easiest Wirework
The Red Special Wiring is a popular pattern. It has been popularized by Brian May on his famous Red Special handmade guitar. I don't think he invented it, out of phase pickups were famous in the 50s, but he is the first one to have used it massively in rock. Well, at least the first well-known artist.
Is it because of a lack od knowledge or because the On-On-On toggle switch didn't exist at that time? Whatever the reason was, Brian May used 6 ON-ON slide switch to achieve it. Because of that, today most people doing this wiring are doing it the old way.
The six toggle switch wiring is more complicated to perform, cost more money, require a heavier pickguard modification and is a PITA to run.
The switch needed to assemble the Red Special wiring using only three switches are 3, three positions double pole (DP3T) ON/ON/ON toggle switch.
Also, because I'm a gear geek, I am… Continue reading
Advanced Jimmy Page Wiring with Entwistle HVN Humbucker Pickup – DIY SG Kit Part 5
This article covers the advanced Jimmy Page wiring
I made this custom electronic for the SG kit project using Entwistle HVN Vintage Humbucker Pickups.
This article is the fifth and last one of the SG Kit Project series
- In the first video, I glued the neck and painted the guitar.
- In the second video, I applied nitrocellulose varnish.
- In the third video, I created and implemented a waterslide decal logo.
- In the fourth video, I set the neck, the stetsbar tremolo, and the guitar intonation.
A quick update concerning the issue I had with the intonation setting in the previews video.
I had to reverse the saddles of the low E string and the G and B strings. The issue was certainly due because the kit wasn't well made. When you buy a DIY guitar pack, a number must be penciled on the neck and in the neck slot, to prove that both pieces have been made to fit together. It was not the case with that one.
Also, the… Continue reading

Gary Bowyer is pleased that Rovers are starting to share the goalscoring duties around the team.
The first half of the campaign saw top scorer Jordan Rhodes bag the majority of goals for Rovers, but since the turn of the year, Rudy Gestede, Ben Marshall, Tom Cairney, David Dunn and Grant Hanley have all joined him in getting amongst the goals.
"We are delighted that the goals are being shared around," said the Rovers boss.
"We know that Jordan is due a goal that is for sure so we are looking forward to that arriving on Saturday to get him going again.
"So it is good that it is getting spread around, it is pleasing that Grant opened his account on Saturday, he had enough opportunities.
"We need others to contribute more now as well. Jason Lowe scored against Middlesbrough, so hopefully that could be his game."
Tickets will be on sale on at Middlesbrough from the away ticket office, cash only, priced at £27 Adults, £17 Seniors and £14 for Under 18s.

De Vore Recruiting attended the 2018 Bullhorn Engage Conference in Boston, MA to get caught up on the latest trends in hiring.
Nursing Staffing Agency, Health Care Recruiters
Sean DeVore is a hard working father of two who maintains no ties with past employees who have gone on to say awful things. He stands for liberty and human rights, and carries good values in his practice. Low ratings here reflect a misunderstanding perpetuated by internet tabloids and a single ex-employee who has long been shut out completely from the de Vore enterprise. I would recommend this company for anyone seeking recruiting, especially after speaking with Sean about the integrity he maintains in his business and clientele.
Just spoke with the owner of this wonderful small business, Sean was very helpful, and clearly had nothing to do with these awful reviews about his company. A former employee is slandering his name, please don't let someone who hasn't worked for this company in years guide you away from using his services. A+ to the team at deVore.
Finally a real headhunter! When I worked with other recruiters in the past, I discovered they were primarily reaching out to active job seekers that already had their resumes posted online. I was pleased to learn that De Vore doesn't take that typical lazy approach, they actually reach out to candidates specific to your company's openings and ensure they are the best fit possible for the position. In fact, they screen them thoroughly so there are no surprises and even check all of their references in advance. I think the best aspect of their service is they offer a 120 day guarantee and furthermore rates much cheaper than what I've been quoted by other agencies in the past.

|Home > Verification methodology for plasma simulations and application to a scrape-off layer turbulence code
Approaching the ITER era, errors, affecting simulations that are used as fundamental tools to uncover the complex plasma dynamics in a tokamak, due both to mistakes present in the code and the implementation of a non sufficiently accurate physical model, can have far reaching consequences on costly nuclear facilities. As a consequence, there is a strong motivation to increase the reliability of the results of numerical simulations in the plasma physics domain. To assess the reliability of numerical simulation codes, a rigorous methodology has been developed, which constitutes the Verification and Validation (V&V) procedure. V&V is composed by two separated tasks: the verification process, which is a mathematical issue targeted to assess that the physical model is correctly solved, and the validation, used to assess the consistency of the code results with experimental data. Bridging the gap with the computational fluid dynamics community, in the present work we introduce a general, rigorous, and simple-to-apply methodology for both the verification of the correct implementation of the model equations (code verification) and numerical error quantification (solution verification). The proposed code verification procedure consists in using the method of manufactured solutions and executing an order-of-accuracy test, assessing the rate of convergence of the numerical solution to the manufactured one. For the solution verification, the numerical error is quantified by applying the Richardson extrapolation, which provides an approximation of the analytical solution, and by using the grid convergence index to estimate the numerical uncertainty affecting the simulation results. The methodology is applied to verify the correct implementation of the drift-reduced Braginskii equations into the GBS code, and to estimate the numerical error affecting the GBS simulation of plasma turbulence in the SOL. The GBS code is successfully verified and an estimate of the numerical error affecting the simulation results is provided.

I admit it. I don't really like to share. Maybe something went awry in my kindergarten class that I've successfully blanched from memory, or maybe it's because I'm a female and my main experiences with 'sharing' have involved other women wanting to borrow my clothes. And then returning them not dry cleaned and stretched out and smelling like Clinique's 'Happy.'
Despite what the smell of my rumpled sweaters may suggest, the situation of sharing rarely has left me feeling happy.
One woman who's found more positive ways of sharing is family physician, Dr. Maura J. Sughrue. She, along with her colleagues at Fairfax Family Practice in Maryland, have adopted a style of practice called 'shared decision-making.' If this is a term you've only heard bantered about in marriage counseling, it will behoove you to know it is also a term that has emerged in the medical community to mean physicians equipping their patients with tools that help with 'filling in the gaps in knowledge that patients routinely face when their doctors either don't know about or don't fully explain the uncertainties of a test or a proposed course of treatment.' (Washington Post)
According to the Washington Post article 'Giving Patients A Larger Voice,' shared decision-making may involve 'short videos, brochures, questionnaires and interactive computer programs, which patients may take home and go through at their own pace.'
Shared decision-making is slowly catching on among physicians and hospitals around the country. Along with Dr. Sughrue and the physicians at Fairfax Family Practice, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire has adopted the practice with funds set aside specifically for decision aids for patients considering procedures such as mastectomy and lumpectomy, prostatectomy and back surgery.
It is believed by researchers that shared decision-making will become more widely adopted with further research, and also when Medicaid and other payers begin reimbursing physicians for adopting the practice.
Hopefully one day we will all be happy sharers. And not the kind of happy that's smeared on Banana Republic merino wool blend V-neck sweaters, but the kind that comes from working more closely with our healthcare providers in making fully informed decisions about our health.
I also hope this type of happy will have a more flowery rather than a spicey bouquet. It just seems to work best with my particular chemistry.
Maura Sughrue, M.D. joined Fairfax Family Practice in 1983. She is a board certified family physician who earned her medical degree from the University of Maryland School of Medicine.

I'll get right to the point. Recently, Paris Hilton paid thousands of dollars for two puppies. She gave one to her mother and kept the remaining dog. She named her new puppy after herself—Paris Hilton.
We now have two Paris Hiltons in this world and one is a dog. Click here for a good laugh. Or, maybe not. It's total nonsense.
I could say, "Which one is the real dog?" but that would be mean-spirited and pointless.
I haven't owned a dog in a number of years but should I decide to get one, I'm going to name that dog "Larry Gross."
Well, I think maybe I am mean-spirited, but I don't care.
Paris is 33-years-old now. Her 15 minutes of fame was up a long time ago.
Oh, I really don't care, but let me say one more thing. I'm mentioned here more than a few times that I enjoy making fun of Taylor Swift, but at least Taylor has some talent to offer. I have no idea what Paris Hilton has except—perhaps, maybe, and I'm not at all sure of this—her looks.
And on that note, I'll shut up.

So I filled out my March Madness bracket. My method was based around favoring schools that friends support or attended. Also, my distaste for Duke. Usually I suppress Texas A&M, but they haven't done anything too awful in a while, and I recently had some quality interactions with some A&M folks. Anyways here is my hastily filled bracket:
But of course, March Madness is also time for another wonderful tournament: the Tournament of Everything!
I did the first Tournament of Everything when I worked on the St. John's Review. Honestly, Joe Mathlete had done it before and I just stole the idea from him. In high school, I actually created a big chart and had people vote for a winner every day until we completed the entire bracket. I think when Joe did it, Luby's Macaroni and Cheese won. And this is before Pappas Restaurants bought Luby's and grossed up their delicious Mac and Cheese.
The Tournament was continued to the Rice Thresher Backpage, where I just kinda made it myself. The general concept is a competition between the best things of everything. Of course, it is somewhat limited by the author's own provincial knowledge, but I tried to include some great universal concepts. (pdf: ToE 2006, ToE 2007)
That is a bit grainy, here is a closer view of the bracket.
And the 2007 version:
I'm not entirely sure which year was better. 2007 doesn't have the quirky breakdown and analysis that was in the 2006 version. This difference is probably because I was busy with my expanded role in the Thresher after the March staff turnover.
However, one of the critiques about the 2006 version was that it was too much of a "Tournament of Evan" rather than something more universal or accessible. While I still think it was an inspired joke to have Males ages 18-35 be the winner in Adult Swim v. Guitar Solos, in what universe would Mountain Dew go that far? Answer: The Evan Universe! If you compare, I did try to fix it a bit in 2007, eliminating some inside jokes and expanding the number of Rice jokes. Though the Magic Flute from Mario 3 was my favorite carryover. Alas, I was slowly learning my lesson that the Backpage was supposed to be for everyone and not just a bunch of Evan jokes.
This blog thing, on the other hand, can be nothing but Evan jokes! Which is why I am planning the first annual Tournament of Evan. In it, I would lavish myself with naval gazing, self-obsession, and inside jokes as I compete the various aspects of my life and attention against one another, breaking down the safety barrier between character schtick and actual personal issues, blurring into a grey mush of neuroses and spelling errors.
The 4 Categories for the Tournament are, so far: Women, Popular Media, Funny Third Thing, and Politics/History. If you have any recommendations or submissions or critiques or personal insults, please feel free to contribute in the comments or just yell at me IRL.

Scary thing that...but it makes sense as a preparation tool. But I should NOT watch them alone.
Some of it is gross. Ok...alot of it is gross. Some of it is scary...and for some reason after watching two I couldn't stop crying. I didn't feel sad, afraid, only a little grossed out...but I just kept crying. Odd no?
Next time I'll watch them with someone.
Anyone want to watch scary grossness with me? =\

In this Friday edition of Bears Bites, we take a look at an unflattering perspective on new Chicago Bears head coach John Fox, which Bears coordinator could be angling for a head coaching gig of his own next season, and at some prospects the Bears could be keeping an eye on at the NFL Scouting Combine this weekend.
-We start out with an interesting article that ranks the NFL's head coaches, and has some unflattering things to say about John Fox. Here's a taste:
"He's indistinguishable from "Create A Coach 1." Fox is extremely conservative, but that hardly makes him unique amongst NFL head men…His ceiling is not that of a champion."
Ouch. [RotoWorld]
-Denver Broncos team president John Elway had some kind things to say about Bears offensive coordinator Adam Gase at the NFL Scouting Combine, saying that the former Broncos coordinator will have a head coaching job "soon." [Chicago Sun-Times]
-Will Ndaumkong Suh, Jay Cutler, and Randall Cobb all remain with their current teams? [ESPN Chicago]
-Vernon Hills product DaVaris Daniels is at the combine this weekend, and he will be looking to prove his doubters wrong. [Daily Herald]
-Brad Biggs weighs in with 10 thoughts he's had during the first days of the combine in Indianapolis. [Chicago Tribune]
-Outside of Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota, which quarterbacks in the 2015 NFL Draft class could be a successful NFL player? [Shutdown Corner]
-An unnamed coach in the NFC had a message for those quarterbacks attending the combine that weren't planning on throwing at the event: stay home. [CSN Chicago]
-Finally, the San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders are proposing a new NFL stadium in southern California that would house both teams. The stadium would be located just 12 miles from Los Angeles in the suburb of Carson. [LA Times]

Tweet this quote Share Share thisInvest 5 minutes in the next 50 years for Takapuna.
Takapuna is changing and growing. Smart revitalisation is required to accommodate this change.
Two options for a vibrant, lively and accessible town square have been proposed for 40 Anzac Street, in the centre of Takapuna. This is off the back of engagement earlier this year, as well as consultation and planning dating back to 2010.
A third option proposes no change to the site and Panuku Development Auckland, council's redevelopment agency, has now opened consultation for people to confirm their preference.
"Takapuna has an opportunity to build on the success of Hurstmere Green, creating a place of vibrancy, new public spaces and places to share and enjoy," says North Shore Ward Councillor and Planning Committee Chair Chris Darby.
The options are:
- Town square Hurstmere to Lake Road
This option locates the square between Hurstmere and Lake Road.
It will deliver:
- Strong visibility making it safe
- Plenty of sun
- Views to the water and Rangitoto
- Strong connection to Lake Road, Shore City, Hurstmere Road, Hurstmere Green and the beach
- Retail and eateries on its boundaries
- Good synergy with existing and future buildings
- A strong centre for Takapuna
- The ability to accommodate large events or markets in conjunction with Hurstmere Road
- Town square adjacent to Potters Park
This option locates the square adjacent and to the south of Potters Park.
It will deliver:
- Shelter from the wind
- Strong connection with Potters Park
- The ability to accommodate large events or markets in conjunction with Potters Park
- Some retail and eateries on its boundary
- No town square
This would mean the status quo remains:
- The site at 40 Anzac Street would remain a car park, with no town square or additional public space created for Takapuna
- The site at 14 Huron Street would not be developed into a multi-level car parking building and the apartment development on the other part of this site would not go ahead
- No upgraded bus facilities on Lake Road
- No streetscape improvements along Huron and Northcroft streets
We do not believe that this option benefits the future of Takapuna. Doing nothing in this key central site won't create the people-friendly environment envisioned for Takapuna.
Consultation closes on Friday 10 August. Have your say now
Benefits to Takapuna
"The Anzac Street site is hidden packed with benefits waiting to be realised – this is Takapuna's chance to bring some of the Wynyard Quarter magic across the bridge. If option one or two prevail, we'll develop a great new town square ($4.8m) that can cater to markets, performances and large events, as well being a high-quality space for people to meet and socialise," Cr Darby says.
The town square would be around 3,000m2 of council-owned, full-time, public space. Panuku would partner with the private sector to deliver new shops, eateries, home and entertainment to complement the site.
"The regeneration will bring better and safer pedestrian connections, pulsing laneways, new streetscapes on Huron and Northcroft streets ($4.8m) and an upgraded bus station," Cr Darby says. "We know parking is important to people, so will build a brand new, $25.3 million facility, just down the road."
The new, multi-level car park building 200m away, at 14 Huron Street, will be built by Panuku and managed by Auckland Transport. The state-of-the-art building will be five storeys and will include 420 car parks as well as electric car and bike charging stations, bike valet, motorbike parking, accessibility parking and 'end of trip' facilities including changing rooms and showers.
Consultation is now open on the location of the town square.

Growth Trends for Related Jobs
Finding a job can be tough in the best of times, even for well-qualified, experienced people. So for 16-year-olds, it can be especially hard. However many firms in the U.S. actively seek 16-year-olds and there are many entry-level jobs that these young people are well-placed to fill. In general, jobs that require little or no experience are ideal for teenagers and there are many of these types of jobs available if you know where to look.
Restaurants and Food Services
The food services industry has always been a traditional source of jobs for 16-year-olds. Many jobs require minimal training, and there may be an opportunity to benefit from tips. Jobs can be found at fast-food restaurants, table-service restaurants or institutions with cafeterias. This industry traditionally has a high turnover rate, meaning regular opportunities for employment.
Tourism & Seasonal Jobs
The tourism industry can be very seasonal and often large numbers of workers are needed for a short period of time. A direct approach to employers is often the best way to apply for seasonal jobs, rather than waiting for the jobs to be advertised. Express your interest early for any positions, even for next year's hiring season. Jobs can be found at resorts, hotels, golf courses, amusement parks and other venues that cater to vacationers. Seasonal jobs can also be found at car washes, garden centers, and other service providers that have increased business in the summer.
Cadetships, Apprentices, Internships
Many firms will hire or take on 16-year-olds as trainees or interns with a view to hiring for full time employment at a later point. While not initially paying much, if anything, at first, these opportunities are an excellent way for 16-year-olds to get started and get known within a company. These jobs may lead to excellent and rewarding careers with large and reputable companies or government agencies.
How to Get a Job
There are a variety of different ways to get a job but increasingly a lot of job-seeking and recruitment is now being done online. Online recruiting is very convenient for both parties and enables a job-seeker to apply for many jobs without much effort or expense. Ensure your resume is up to date and well-presented; then sign up to some popular recruitment websites. The other main online way of job-seeking is going direct to the company's website itself as most large companies have a jobs or careers page with information on whether they are recruiting, what jobs are available and how to apply.
Approaching businesses in person can also be a good way to search for jobs; it allows you to meet a potential employer face to face and shows good initiative.

A brief glimpse is all we need to learn why Kennosuke called Yukina 'princess.' Yet for his stalwart protection of the lookalike from robotic monsters, he is thrown in a cell, where he dreams of a time that has long since passed.
Meanwhile, Yukina, who pushed the red button that released him from his long slumber, is told to "stay put" by her mother, at least until they has a better picture of what's going on.
Yukina does not stay put.
Her mom leaves her phone behind—again—allowing her to escape about the same time Ouma does. It seems that fate was meant to bring these two together.
Kennosuke has been moving so fast, it isn't until he and Yukina have a moment to breathe that he realizes…she isn't the princess. He voices he's upset in a most amusingly old-fashioned manner, but when his cockpit-cube arrives and transforms into a 'steed' at his command, he still puts Yukina in the copilot seat. She's not the real deal, but could she be a descendant? A reincarnation?
Yukina blasts past Mika and other shelterers as the steed takes her and Kennosuke to his "Black Relic", the centuries-old equivalent (and likely template) for the UN's GAUS suits (which don't appear this week).
Once outside in the world, Kennosuke is, not unreasonably, very confused and disoriented. The mountains are familiar, but what's with the lake? "A wonder of human ingenuity," says Yukina. "Deceptive drivel!" says Kennosuke.
Similarly, the buildings of the city they approach appear to him like giant tombstones, which they will actually become if the yellow scourge, which Ken calls an Oni or "Demon", is allowed to stomp around unchallenged.
I dig Ken's archaic way of speaking, as well as his almost complete unpreparedness for being in the modern world (despite, you know, piloting the giant mecha) Yukina, for her part, remembers her father's tales of demons coming to devour everyone, suspects that's now what's going on, and perceptively declares this situation "the pits!"
Fortunately, Ken was right to put Yukina in the copilot's seat, because not only does she understand the relic's interface, she serves as an invaluable second set of senses in their battle with said demon. The JSDF and ASDF's conventional military forces are completely worthless against the beast, so it's Ken and Yukina or nothing.
The battle itself is heartening, not just because it brings a ferocious energy that was somewhat lacking last week, but again shows Ken still a lot to learn about modern urban combat. He's understandably rusty, but thanks to Yukina, he stays alive and his relic is undamaged, while they score a hit on the yellow demon and force it to retreat, ascending up to an infernal mothership lurking in orbit.
In hindsight, these first two episodes work far better as a double episode than separately, with the true climax not arriving until the city battle this week, which puts Yukina and Ken on more equal footing as co-pilots. This may seem like 'the pits' to Yukina now, but it's also a definite path forward.
Where before she was simply drifting about, unsure of how to become the successor to her mom she assumed everyone around her expected her to be, now she has the means to become something else entirely; something just as important, if not more so.

(Yicai Global) Jan. 3 -- Beijing Bytedance Technology Co., the parent company of content aggregator Jinri Toutiao, initiated a massive recruitment campaign to hire content review editors to oversee its platform, online media outlet the Paper reported today. The move follows an order by China's cyberspace regulator for the platform to rectify its content.
Toutiao publicly advertises content review editor's positions on a recruitment website. It will recruit a total of 2,000 editors. It says the content editors will be based in Tianjin and Beijing. It requires each editor to review about 1,000 pieces of content per day. Content editors will be responsible for monitoring and reviewing the content to see whether Toutiao platform has any material on its platform violating law and regulations.
The company offers a salary range of CNY4,000 (USD615) to CNY6,000 per month for new recruits. Applicants should be fond of news and concerned about current affairs and have a good political sensitivity and educational background. The Party members are preferred, the report quoted Toutiao ad as saying.
In addition, Toutiao also recruits international content review editors to be based in Beijing to review Japanese language video content to identify whether there is any unwelcome content such as violence, pornography and terrorism. It requires at least a bachelor's degree and offers a salary of CNY6,000 to CNY12,000 per month.
Currently, Toutiao content review editing team has more than 4,000 people, which is the largest review editor team established in China. The team will continue to grow and the number of editors is expected to reach 10,000 in near future, the Paper quoted Xu Yilong, deputy chief editor of Toutiao, as saying.
Beijing municipal cyberspace information office under the guidance of Cyberspace Administration of China last month ordered Toutiao and iFeng News to temporarily suspend parts of mobile client channels which it said spreads pornographic and vulgar information and provides news services without necessary license.
As part of its rectification, six channels of Toutiao mobile client were ordered to suspend updates for 24 hours on Dec. 29, 2017. Two days later, Toutiao shut down its social news channel and unveiled a "new age" channel as default. It also removed platform accounts suspected of violating regulations with low quality content. By Dec. 31, 2017, it blocked 36 accounts, while banning 1,065 accounts from posting news. The platform closed more than 2,500 'illegal' accounts in three days before the New Year.


text: Allen David Mieth knew at an early age that he wanted to be a songwriter. At the age of ten he was writing original songs and looking for a way to pursue his dreams of becoming a professional songwriter. He went to work at the local radio station while still in high school. He organized a band with his buddies and played at local events including the FFA banquet when he was just 16. He never stopped putting together bands and playing gigs all over south Texas, as a member of groups such as Rio Medina, The Cowdillacs, The Y100 Hot Country Band and the Mowtown Men. He played at countless chili cook offs, fairs, barbecues, radio station events and wedding receptions. David also played more than ten music show cases through the Community arts Network, a platform for the performing arts in San Antonio, Texas. He spent years playing songwriters nights and performing at many well-known clubs. But it wasn't until he reached deep within his own life experiences that he was able to forge a connection with broader audiences. The personal struggle and pain that inspired his radio hit 'Alone Again Blues' is the perfect synthesis of his own life experience, great songwriting and exceptional musicianship. David believes that if someone is able to understand his point of view or somehow feel a little better after listening to one of his songs then that will make the whole experience all the more rewarding for him. He's certainly getting that (and more) these days. Reporter Lily Clark caught up with Allen recently to learn more about this intriguing and accomplished artist.

BC-3 6.2 offers Administrators a wide range of new reports to help with keeping the system up to date and compliant. One report which could assist with maintaining plans, BIAs, and Resilience Plans is the Compliance Certificate. This report is used to view the status of all entities in BC-3 using the RAG system.
RAG stands for Red, Amber, Green, much like the traffic lights we all see in everyday life and it works in the same way.
A red light requires attention – the entity may need approval, slipped past the review date etc.
An amber light is approaching non-compliance – this may mean the review date is approaching.
A green light means the entity is up to date and compliant. All good!
The Compliance Certificate can be scheduled and and emailed to an Administrator at any time, or it can be run by going to Reports in the side menu > Compliance > Compliance Certificate and exporting to PDF.

While the odds of a paternity test yielding a false positive result are rare, it is possible. Any man who has been named as the father of a child through paternity testing may wonder about the validity of the result.
There are two main methods of DNA testing. According to the Separated Parenting Access & Resource Center (SPARC), Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) uses swab samples and yields faster, but less accurate, results than the older method, fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), which usually uses blood samples.
Read More: How to Read Paternity Test Codes
Different laboratories will have different levels of accuracy based on how many genetic markers they test for. A 99 percent accuracy rate is much less reliable than one of 99.99 percent, which is what SPARC, a nonprofit organization, recommends.
The problem with tests that look for fewer genetic markers is that there may be other people who share the same markers as the potential father in question, and thus, a possible false positive result.
Many people think they must wait until the baby is born to test paternity, but according to the DNA Diagnostics Center, this can be tested as early as 10 weeks into the pregnancy.
According to the DNA Diagnostics Center, less expensive tests, in the $99 range, may use techniques that are not within the industry protocol and thus might not stand up in court.

I only have 3 tea angels, but that means I have a collection, too! Yours are very special!ReplyDelete
I love seeing your tea angels again! I have the first two, and am always keeping my eyes out for others. So sweet!ReplyDelete
Lovely collection! I only have the willow angel, my sister gave me. I have never seen any at thrift stores when I shop for dishes. They are hare to find around here.ReplyDelete
Have you gotten much snow? Last night we got a pretty snowfall. So beautiful!
Hugs, Nancy
I have the Jim Shore...a gift from a friend. Love your collection!ReplyDelete
What a sweet collection! Thanks for sharing. I'm really enjoying your series of posts on collections. I have a Willow ornament and two Christmas themed Willow angels but unfortunately no tea angels. Our local Hallmark store has quite a selection. I'll have to look for the Willow tea angel there.ReplyDelete
I think I'm like your last tea angel … my wings just aren't visible! ;)ReplyDelete

Union fury as city council reveals 300 jobs are to go
Says The Scotsman here.
Edinburgh council have decided to cut upper and middle-management jobs to save money. They are doing this against the background of budget cuts eminating from London but also because Gordon Brown pretty much bankrupted the City with PFI projects and because Scotland's unionist parties imposed that insane tram system upon the capital. They're being told to make cuts and the background is not favourable.
However the unions had this to say about the council administration and its leader Jenny Dawe:
It is her coalition government that is forcing through cuts that the economists who actually predicted the crisis say are not needed and will put the economy into an even bigger mess.
..These cuts have nothing to do with the deficit, they are purely and simply an ideological attack on public services and the people who rely on them.
Couple of points here. Are the unions in Scotland attacking the SNP for cutting council budgets to meet their own reduced grant or attacking London for cutting the grant to Scotland? Who is being ideological?

Great atmosphere, food delicious and hot. Beef wonderful, other family members had the pork with real old fashioned crackling, none were going home hungry or dissatisfied. After a short break "to make room" we even managed puds on top which were excellent. Staff friendly, professional and efficient.

Very good value specials and good quality food. Service from staff was also very good.
25. august 2019
What can I say except superb!!! The Queens Head Inn is a lovely pub with a gorgeous beer garden. The inside of the building is just as gorgeous. Greeted with a warm welcome and then served some amazing food. The food looked too good to eat and did taste amazing. The most shocking thing was the price!! Food of the quality you would normally expect to pay twice as much. I could not recommend this place highly enough and I am already planning my next visit there

Nice clean area,friendly staff and we enjoyed the 2 for 1 fish and chips.
26. maj 2019
We came for Sunday lunch and thought it was very good value for money. The 3 members of staff were all very friendly and accommodated a small change on a starter for my wife without any difficulty. Found all 3 courses very enjoyable and great portion sizes. Will certainly be back very soon.
25. maj 2019
Afternoon tea for 2. Lots of lovely fresh sandwiches, cakes and scones. Bottomless tea. By far the best I've had. Have been so many times and it never disappoints. Already booked to go again

A gold-toothed man of 76 polishes his $300 paddle. The tall, elegant gentleman who is used to overseeing maquiladoras in Tijuana silently pulls three-star balls out of a box. Mrs. Fukuoka, 80 next month, flicks shots into the corner at such cunning angles that she wins every other point. "I'm never tired," she giggles, hiding her smile behind her bat, "because I never move." At another of the eight championship tables, a bald guy and a grandmother exchange low forehand topspins with such relentless intensity they attain a rhythm that's almost sexual.
This is not the kids' game I grew up playing in my dorm at school.
It's not the spring break romp that dissolves in giggles beside the pool at the Standard Hotel in West Hollywood.
In Japan, Ping-Pong is how you keep your wits about you and your reflexes, limbs and senses intensely sharp. Almost every afternoon for nine years, I've walked 15 minutes uphill to our local health club, here in suburban Nara, or taken a bus to an ancient gymnasium in a nearby park, to engage in furious bouts of table tennis with a group of 30 or so Japanese neighbors who teach me about engagement in their retirement years as once they did with co-workers or family members.
I soon begin sweating even on mid-February days while some of my pals are swathed in jackets, mufflers and gloves and our breath condenses in front of us, indoors. When it hits 100 degrees in the old wooden space in July, I slip away discreetly after 90 minutes, while my aged friends continue for up to four hours. "Pico-san," they say, next time they see me. "What's up? You're the youngest by 20 years and you're the first to stop." "I'm the only non-Japanese," I want to say.
Some play tight, wily games with a Chinese "pen holder" grip mastered before World War II. Others brandish the long, cool "shake" forehands of a Western style.
With every stroke, I might be watching Japan address its central question: whether to honor the distant past or the future, Confucius or California.
It's a sport of intelligence, of course, which is why eight of the first nine world table tennis championships were won by Hungary. It's a game of authority, which is why it was invented, many claim, by imperial Brits in the late 19th century, perhaps as an after-dinner game for the Raj. It's an exercise in unyielding patience: when the first point between two (defensively minded) players in the 1936 World Championship lasted two hours and 12 minutes, the umpire had to be replaced midpoint, one player started playing with his left hand, and the rules had to be re-evaluated on the spot to prevent matches that could go on for 16 days. I watch the high-toss serves of track-suited former salarymen, I hear the shouts (in quasi-English) of "deuce one!" or "all seven!" from adjoining tables, I dive for a lightning backhand drive from a toothless doctor and I think, "How can a training in attention be so ridiculously fun?"

In honor of our two year wedding anniversary, I thought it would be really fun to share my vows to Jason. Because I might be the only person you know who wrote their wedding vows in Google Documents which allows me to easily access them at any minute!
I can still remember almost every detail of the first few times we crossed paths, down to the first moment I saw you at freshman year orientation. I never expected the kid with his head down and name tag hidden so all I could see was his major, who I only deemed 'big headed digital kid' would be with me where I stand today. I am just glad that you continued to pop into my life when we got back to school, showing up in your little green polo at the art store and then disappearing like a leprechaun. Fortunately, once we sat down and talked, it seemed like we could never stop. And it didn't take me too long to figure out that you were the one and that I would do just about anything to be with you. I think the defining moment of our relationship for me, the one that said we were meant for each other, was only a few short days after we met. But, when I found a man that loves Disney as much as I do, wants to be a father, and thinks Star Wars is way better than Star Trek, I just knew.
Our first new year's together. I think his head looks bigger here.
It's been nearly five years since we fell in love, and there isn't a day where I don't feel that love. We may have changed, but the beauty is that no matter how we change, we change to love each other more. And you still love me no matter how crazy I get.You have always helped me through hard times when I thought I couldn't keep designing or running or whatever it was, and you always push me to do my best. You give me the tough love I need, no matter what, and that's more than I could ever ask for from you. I am so fortunate to have you in my life and I continue to fall deeper in love with you. Every time I see you with a dog I see all the reasons I love you. I can't believe sometimes that I found someone who is as crazy, and that's the only word to describe it, about dog's as I am.
This guy loves his dogs a lot. A lot, a lot.
Five years doesn't seem like long enough, and I look forward to all the time we have together to continue building our lives together. Our life has been quite a journey already, and I cannot wait to see what is ahead of us. I will always have fun with you, even through stressful times, no matter what. I will always try to cheer you up on bad days and bring you Taco Bell when you need it. And I'm really excited to think of all the puppies we will have in the years ahead! I have already enjoyed our little family with the two we have now so much, and I am excited to see how we will add on to the family down the road.
And now, as we enter into marriage, I'm not nervous, and I'm not scared. Everyone has asked if we're getting cold feet, and I never get the question because that has never been a thought to either of us. I have been ready for this for a long time, and I will be proud to be Katherine McAdoo. I promise to love you with all my heart forever, and I will even try to understand all the accounting my mom taught me and do our taxes. And I'll continue to pay all the bills! And of course, I promise to give you the love you deserve, and I'll keep cooking you things like beer cheese mac and cheese and giving you head scratchies before bed time. I know our marriage will be a wonderful mix of love, companionship, and more. So let's do this!
Beer Cheese Mac and Cheese
Some crazy adaptation of the recipe on the back of the box, my mom's beer cheese recipe, and my insanity.
1/2 Pound of Rotini Pasta
1 Tablespoon + 1/2 Tablespoon Butter
1/4 Cup Fat Free Half and Half
Light Sprinkling of flour (about a teaspoon)
1/4 teaspoon White Pepper
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 teaspoon Seasoned Salt
6 ounces Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese, grated
2 Tablespoons Light Sour Cream
4 Ounces Beer, a light ale is preferred
4 Tablespoons Sharp Cheddar Cold Pack Cheese Spread
1/2 Cup Cheez-Its
Preheat over to 375 Degrees Fahrenheit. Butter a 8" x 8" glass dish. Cook pasta according to directions and drain.
While your pasta is cooking, place 1/2 cup of Cheez Its in a bowl with a 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Crush with your hands until finely crumbled.
Drain the pasta and return to the dish. Over the lowest heat, mix in 1 tablespoon of butter, 1/4 cup half and half, and a light sprinkling of flour. Mix well. Add in white pepper, garlic powder and seasoned salt.
Slowly add the shredded cheese in. Once all cheese has been melted, add in 2 tablespoons sour cream and stir.
Add in 4 ounces of beer (about a little less than half a bottle)
Next add in the sharp cheddar cold pack cheese by the tablespoon. Mix well.
Pour the macaroni and cheese sauce into the dish. Top with crumbled cheez it and butter mixture.
Bake in over at 375 Degrees for 20 minutes. Remove and serve!

What are the implications of statistical variation? Why are we interested in understanding and measuring variation?
Besides using variation in the world of quality, there are also social implications. For example, what does statistical variation suggest about how we ought to judge and treat ourselves and others?

Solution Preview
Statistical variation gives us an idea of the spread of the data points above and below the mean or median. We are interested in understanding the variation because the spread of data tell us whether the points are mostly alike or widely different. For example, what if I gave a test and the mean was 80%. If the standard deviation was 4 points, then all the scores were within 68%-92% (about 3 standard deviations gets 99% of the points) and I might be pleased with this result. If the mean was 80% but the standard deviation was 16, then the range was much wider between the high and low scores, meaning that for every high score, there were failing scores. I might be less impressed with that result, even though the mean ...

Football players and other athletes who lift heavy weights and train frequently can benefit greatly from regular yoga practice. According to the Mayo Clinic, yoga aids the body in flushing excess lactic acid from muscles. Since lactic acid is primarily what leads to soreness and stiffness, yoga can alleviate a great deal of the pain sometimes associated with weightlifting. In addition, flushing lactic acid can make the next workout more effective, as the athlete will meet with less soreness, which can inhibit the ability to lift more weight. By pulling oxygen into muscles, yoga helps them perform better. Ultimately, yoga can help individuals become stronger.
Restorative yoga is designed to rejuvenate tired and sore muscles. More traditional forms of yoga can reduce the tension in athletes' bodies. Even if weightlifters do not want to dedicate a significant amount of time to yoga practice, simply performing a few yoga stretches in between sets can have an immense impact on the session. When stretching, individuals should aim to hold a pose for a minute or more to maximize rest and repair time.

Henri Lloyd is back. On Wednesday night in London at The Army Gym, in Covent Garden, the new team behind the iconic brand showcased their new Fremantle range produced in their own dedicated European factory to a select group of retailers and journalists.
The most noticeable points of the Fremantle range are simplicity combined with premium materials and innovative features. A durable, light-weight collection aimed at the inshore keelboat and sportsboat sailor.
I spoke with Jonas Olsson, who is the Creative Director for Henri Lloyd, about the influences and philosophy behind the Fremantle collection:
"I wanted to create a collection that people would instantly recognise as Henri Lloyd. We started with a blank sheet of paper, but we felt people needed something they could recognise from the past, but also make the design very modern."
With the materials, Henri Lloyd have chosen Gore-Tex Pro, simply the best on the market, which Jonas said was an easy decision to make for a premium product:
"I really like the feel when you're wearing it. It slides easily against your mid-layers and is exceptionally comfortable. It has the best breathability and waterproofness on the market today."
The Fremantle design is very distinctive with the two blue stripes and single orange stripe, harking back to the early Henri Lloyd designs but also with its own individuality. Jonas explained how they came about the design:
"It was our CEO Magnus Liljeblad who had a meeting in the old Manchester offices and took a bunch of photos of past Henri Lloyd gear. I saw one photo of a product that was based on the gear Dennis Connor wore when Stars and Stripes won the Americas Cup in 1987 in Fremantle. It was a stunning design and I remembered it from a previous Henri Lloyd collection and thought this would be a good starting point."
Henri Lloyd may have previously been more associated with the offshore market, but the Fremantle collection is firmly performance focussed and aimed at the day-sailor keelboat market, with lightweight and flexible products.
"We know there's a bigger potential in this market, and the people who are involved in Henri Lloyd now are more into this kind of sailing. I always believe you should choose your direction according to where you have the passion."
There are a few nifty features on the jacket, such as the spray guard (similar to a snow guard on a ski jacket), breeze clip and detachable hood. Jonas ran us through these design elements:
"Our UK Country Manager Graham Allen came up with the idea of the breeze clip. We tried the jacket on and didn't really understand the spray guard. He was first a bit hesitant as it was more like a snow skirt, but when he tried it he thought it was a great functional feature what's more you could have the jacket open to help with ventilation! He then suggested that if there was a higher button then you could have your jacket open without it flapping around."
The detachable hood design is all about getting rid of the bulkiness and stiffness in the neck area.
"It's all about comfort,", explained Jonas. "If you're a comfortable sailor then you're a happy sailor."
Ross Partridge, Performance Sales Manager in the UK, said of the collection:
"I've been on and off boats for the last 20 years and racing for the past 15, so have known the brand man and boy. I've always had a fascination with the brand, and when I saw the collection, I was almost relieved that the new team had got it so right. I'd seen designs from sketchbook all the way through to final product, following the journey all the way though and I believe even on the detailing they've got it exactly right for what a keelboat sailor is looking for today."

Some members of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy believe that Noelle McCarthy is not to be trusted as she is far too left wing.
We have never met Noelle McCarthy beyond one or two chats over the airwaves. The only things we really know about her are that she like shoes (a lot!), and men really like her radio shows (women do not). She also managed to get Don Brash to confess to meeting with the Exclusive Brethren, thus causing National to lose the last election. This is why she is probably regarded to be a communist by some on the right.
According to her column today in the NZ Herald she is currently unable to vote and she is sick of the political campaign before it has even begun. But that doesn't stop her sticking the knife in:
I am sick of politics. New Zealand politics. So utterly totally sick of it. Winston should straighten up and fly right, and stop drawing fatuous comparisons between the privileges committee and a well-reviled kleptocracy. He won't.
Helen should cut him loose and wear it. But she won't.
We agree with both these sentiments. Noelle then gets even meaner. She starts extolling the virtues of Green co-leader Russell Norman.
There are little lights in the gloom of course. Mere swamp gas, probably, but Russel Norman is looking good. Call me old fashioned, but there's something satisfying about a politician who actually answers a question.
Doesn't prevaricate, doesn't bluster, and doesn't fall back on the tried and tested strategy of blaming the other crowd when things get sticky.
Last Sunday I was part of the panel who got to interrogate Norman on Bill Ralston's Campaign 08 show on Prime.
Viewers would have seen a man who didn't have all the answers, or none that we wanted at least, but who tried, nevertheless, to be as frank and honest and fluent as possible in his responses. He couldn't have known, of course, that I'd come away unfulfilled.
My current disenfranchisement precludes any sort of meaningful engagement with an elected representative. I was always going to be disappointed, but that's my problem, not Russel's.
As disappointments go, he was one of the more effervescent. There was a moment when I actually admired him, I swear. It helps that he's tall and rangy and has a way with a pinstripe, of course.
Until he came into the boardroom afterwards and started talking the most awful nonsense about fairy terns in Whangarei that is.
Why is this cruel? Because Noelle is sufficiently well plugged in to know that all the Labour polling is showing that Russel Norman is a big turn off. He is a disaster as far as the electorate is concerned. Everytime he appears on air or TV support for the Greens falls. Labour is so worried about this that they have communicated their data to Jeanette Fitzsimons.
In her own subtle way we think Noelle is shaping up to be OK.

|Is an automobile insurer which provides only non-liability "collision and other named perils" coverage an "automobile insurance carrier" under S.C. Code Ann. § 38-77-160 (2002), and thus required to offer underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage?
|If such an insurer is required to make an offer of UIM coverage, and no such offer was made, does the UIM coverage imposed by South Carolina law extend to the limits of a separate (though simultaneously obtained) liability policy?
The plaintiff was injured in an automobile accident. Plaintiff was a passenger in a car being driven by the defendant. Defendant was at fault in causing the accident. Plaintiff has suffered damages which exceed the extent of all coverages which could be applicable.
At the time of the accident, Plaintiff was residing with his father, who owned and operated a tractor-trailer that was not involved in the accident. Plaintiff's father obtained non-trucking insurance on the tractor-trailer from two separate companies, but through a single agent. The insurance consisted of: (1) liability coverage up to $500,000 from Connecticut Indemnity Co. and (2) collision coverage up to $18,000 from Occidental Fire & Casualty Company. Neither
In answering a certified question raising a novel question of law, the Court is free to decide the question based on its assessment of which answer and reasoning would best comport with the law and public policies of this state and the Court's sense of law, justice, and right. See I'On, L.L.C. v. Town of Mt. Pleasant, 338 S.C. 406, 411, 526 S.E.2d 716, 719 (2000) (citing S.C. Const. art. V, §§ 5 and 9, S.C. Code Ann. § 14-3-320 and -330 (1976 & Supp. 2004), and S.C. Code Ann § 14-8-200 (Supp. 2004)); Osprey, Inc. v. Cabana Ltd. Partnership, 340 S.C. 367, 372, 532 S.E.2d 269, 272 (2000) (same); Clark v. Cantrell, 339 S.C. 369, 378, 529 S.E.2d 528, 533 (2000) (same); Antley v. New York Life Ins. Co., 139 S.C. 23, 30, 137 S.E. 199, 201 (1927) ("In [a] state of conflict between the decisions, it is up to the court to 'choose ye this day whom ye will serve'; and, in the duty of this decision, the court has the right to determine which doctrine best appeals to its sense of law, justice, and right.").
Plaintiff argues an automobile insurer which provides only collision insurance, is an "automobile insurance carrier" under S.C. Code Ann. § 38-77-160, and is thus required to offer UIM coverage. Section 38-77-160 provides, in relevant part:
Automobile insurance carriers shall offer, at the option of the insured, uninsured motorist coverage up to the limits of the insured's liability coverage in addition to the mandatory coverage prescribed in Section 38-77-150. Such carriers shall also offer, at the option of the insured, underinsured motorist coverage up to the limits of the insured liability coverage to provide coverage in the event that damages are sustained in excess of the liability limits carried by an at-fault insured or underinsured motorist or in excess of any damages cap or limitation imposed by statute.
(emphasis added).
The question we must decide is whether an insurer which provides only non-liability "collision and other named perils" coverage constitutes an "automobile insurance carrier" under Section 38-77-160.
The cardinal rule of statutory interpretation is to ascertain and effectuate the intention of the Legislature. Hodges v. Rainey, 341 S.C. 79, 85, 533 S.E.2d 578, 581 (2000). In ascertaining the intent of the Legislature, a court should not focus on any single section or provision but should consider the language of the statute as a whole. Mid-State Automotive Auction of Lexington, Inc. v. Altman, 324 S.C. 65, 69, 476 S.E.2d 690, 692 (1996). When a statute's terms are clear and unambiguous on their face, there is no room for statutory construction and a court must apply the statute according to its literal meaning. Carolina Power & Light Co. v. City of
The term "automobile insurance carrier" is not defined in the pertinent
"Automobile insurance" means automobile bodily injury and property damage liability insurance, including medical payments, and uninsured motorist coverage, and automobile physical damage, collision, fire, theft, combined additional coverage, and similar automobile physical damage insurance and economic loss benefits as provided by this chapter written or offered by automobile insurers.
(emphasis added).
Plaintiff urges us to conclude that because Section 38-77-30(1) specifically includes "collision" and other perils insurance, an automobile insurer providing only non-liability "collision and other named perils" coverage is an "automobile insurance carrier" under S.C. Code Ann. § 38-77-160 and is required to offer UIM coverage.
Plaintiff also cites Davis v. Budget & Control Bd., 298 S.C. 135, 378 S.E.2d 604 (Ct. App. 1989). The issue in
The term "automobile insurance carrier" is not defined by statute. However, read in the context of other statutes in pari materia, it is clearly synonymous with the terms "insurer" and "automobile insurer." . . . Section 38-77-30(2) . . . defines "automobile insurer" to mean "an insurer licensed to do business in
any corporation, fraternal organization, . . . other association, partnership, society, order, individual, or aggregation of individuals engaging or proposing or attempting to engage as principals in any kind of insurance or surety business . . . .
The Court of Appeals concluded the State Insurance Reserve Fund did not fall under either definition and thus was not required to offer UIM coverage.[1] Plaintiff argues, that unlike the State Insurance Reserve Fund, Occidental is an automobile insurance carrier because Occidental admits it is an automobile insurer. Therefore, Occidental was required to offer UIM coverage. We agree Occidental is an automobile insurance carrier. However, we conclude an automobile insurer providing only collision insurance to its insured should not be required to make a meaningful offer of UIM.
First, to accept Plaintiff's argument requiring an insurer providing only collision insurance to make a meaningful offer of UIM would lead to a result so plainly absurd that it could not possibly have been intended by the Legislature. Section 38-77-160 requires an offer of optional UIM coverage "up to the limits of the liability coverage." If an automobile insurer providing only collision insurance to its insured falls within the UIM requirements of Section 38-77-160, then arguably under the statute, it must provide liability coverage up to the amount provided by another insurer despite the fact the collision insurer never contracted to provide liability insurance. If interpreted broadly, it would also require an insurer providing only collision insurance to the insured to make a meaningful offer of UIM to an insured who previously bought liability insurance from another carrier. This would be a far-reaching conclusion, which would require a subsequent insurer providing only collision insurance to determine what, if any, liability insurance the insured may have with another carrier. We do not believe the Legislature intended an insurer providing only collision coverage be subject to potential liability in amounts under a contract to which it was not a party.
For the foregoing reasons, we conclude the "meaningful offer" provision under § 38-77-160 is triggered only when an insurer offers liability insurance and does not require an insurer providing only collision coverage to make an offer of UIM. Accordingly, we answer the first certified question: no. Our disposition of this issue makes it unnecessary to address the second certified question.
TOAL, C.J., MOORE, WALLER and PLEICONES, JJ., concur.
[1] The Court of Appeals concluded the State Insurance Reserve Fund is a special fund established and administered by the State Budget and Control Board under direct authority from the General Assembly and is thus not a corporation, fraternal organization, partnership, etc.

Can't find the User Guide
I installed Scribes under Mint 14 Cinnamon from it's repository (0.4-dev-build910).
When I press F1 I get the browser with Mint's help page :(.
When I bring up the Keyboard shortcuts and click the 'show user guide' in the top right, I get the Mint help page :(
The website doesn't have the User Guide in the documentation page. :(
I am assuming that there isn't, in fact, a user guide. Correct? Or is the Mint version bust?
It would be REAL helpful to put a copy on the website.
But I love the editor, and no one is going to take it away from me!
Thx. TOF

Just to say I now have the latest version build1052, and it exhibits the same behaviour.
I'm a bit worried that there has been no updates for over a year, althouth you are answering some questions....
|Mystilleef (mystilleef) said :
Make sure you have Yelp installed. Ctrl+h also shows you many of the functions available in Scribes.
There has been no update because I need to port Scribes to Python 3 and GNOME 3. Which means I'll be rewriting Scribes. So the current version of Scribes has reached its end of life.
Unfortunately, I don't have any time for the project at the moment. I have a business to run and bills to pay. :-D
However, once real life work loads abate, I'll breathe new life into the Scribes. :-)
|TheOldFellow (theoldfellow) said :
Thanks for the very quick reply - proves Scribes is still very active. I think you mean 'end of development', not 'end of life'.
I have been using it for a few months (ruby and web), but decided to really try and get the most out of it today. I already had yelp installed.
I have to warn you that real life never gets easier. I retired 10 years ago, and I work longer hours than when I was deputy CTO... - I just don't get paid :)
It's from the Ctrl+h screen that I am trying to get the User Guide (top right). Perhaps I am reading this wrong, and Ctrl-h IS the user guide and the legend in the top right is just a title?
|Mystilleef (mystilleef) said :
I hear you. Even though I have plans to retire some day. I have no plans to retire from programming. :-)
Launch Scribes from the command line and see if you get any error messages when you press F1.
Ctrl+H is not the user guide. It just shows a list of keyboard shortcuts.
The user guide is launched in a help browser called Yelp.
|TheOldFellow (theoldfellow) said :
Thanks. I have worked it out. Something had installed another yelp in /usr/local/bin, which was nearer the start of the PATH, it must be a MINT 'feature'. Anyway, removed that, reinstalled yelp and scribes, and everything now works.
The law of unintended consequences.... I'll berate the Mint guys.
|TheOldFellow (theoldfellow) said :
Just to tie up the loose ends. Linux Mint installs a package ubuntu-
Thanks for the wonderful support,

Hi Guys,
I ran into a trivial issue, in my app, I want to have a question bank with a set of Q&A for each specific subjects and want to have an individual Store for each subject. As all the question bank fields would be same, i would like to have a single Model and have all Stores follow that model. How can this be achieved or the best way to do it?
Now, the weird problem is when i implement - When i assign the store to the List, the store which is mentioned last in the declaration (app.js) shows up in data irrespective of the Store I load.
Even though i pass C store, the q field from DBMS store gets loaded in the view but id (the question number) is equal to the no. of questions/records in C store, not DBMS store. My model and Store defs.Code:app.js stores: ["Java","C","DBMS"], My view: xtype: "list", store: Ext.getStore("C"), itemTpl: '{id}. {q}',
Code:Model: --------- Ext.define("IApp.model.Questions", { extend: "Ext.data.Model", config: { idProperty: 'id', fields: [ { name: 'id', type: 'int' }, { name: 'q', type: 'string' }, { name: 'a', type: 'string' } ] } }); --------------------------------------------------------------------- Stores: -------- Ext.define("IApp.store.C", { extend: "Ext.data.Store", config: { model: "IApp.model.Questions", data: [ {id:1, q:'This is 1st question for C language', a:'This is 1st answer for C language'}, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ext.define("IApp.store.DBMS", { extend: "Ext.data.Store", config: { model: "IApp.model.Questions", data: [ {id:1, q:'This is 1st question for Database', a:'This is 1st answer for Database'},

To me, enlightenment is just a fancy way of saying you've figured shit out.
I won't claim to have figured everything in life out (which is impossible), but I've learned a few things along the way. I turned 39 this month and I'm in a much better place mentally than I was ten or even five years ago. I've learned how to avoid some major distractions and I've learned some techniques for calming my mind and sparking creativity.
Since this is taking away writing time, I'll get right to it. Remember, these are my opinions and your experiences and opinions may differ.
Seriously, this has done wonders for me. I wasn't even a heavy user, but giving it up has given me back not only time, but my sanity. All those people, rambling about all kinds of shit, almost none of it relevant to me or my writing. Sure, set up a fan page. Check it once a week. Respond to comments where appropriate. Engage your fans via the fan page. But reading page after page of meaningless status updates and political/religious rant-posts is counter-productive. Not only does it rob you of your time, it also upsets your brain and blocks the creative process.
Kill Facebook, take back your time, and write your books. Make your art.
Sales will come. Or they won't. Checking them won't change that. A couple times a week isn't too bad. Once a week, even better. Once a month is probably best. Sales are a distraction from your story, a reason to fret over the smallest things you can't really control. If you're tweaking pricing or blurbs you probably don't want to change those more than once a month anyway. Tweak it then leave it alone for a month. Get back to writing in the meantime.
Seriously stop this. Believe me, I know it's hard to resist, but they don't help. Use beta readers to vet your work before you publish. These are people whose opinions you trust; they'll tell you when they like your story and, more importantly, when they don't. Take their feedback into consideration and then write the best book you can FOR YOURSELF.
Reader reviews don't give you anything tangible on which to act. Often the reviews are conflicting, which is even worse because it's confusing and you don't know how to "fix" it so everyone likes it. Truth is, you can't make everyone like it, so stop trying. For example I received a review saying my book was "confusing" while another review claimed it was "easy to follow". In another review someone said the book was "hopeless" while another reviewer liked that the book had "an underlying theme of hope". WTF??? THIS DOES ME NO GOOD AS A WRITER. I can't act on anything in these reviews. They're just a distraction, taking me away from writing.
Stop reading your reviews. Write your book, vet it with your TRUSTED beta readers and then unleash it upon the world. At most the average star rating might be useful (and even that's debatable). Stop worrying about what every little John Q. Public thinks about it.
Get away from those people who are driving you mad. If you can't get away from them, figure out how to tune them out. Hell, a lot of them are probably on Facebook, so following tip #1 will fix that. If they're not making you happy, then you're not in the frame of mind to write your book. Get those people off your radar and focus on your art. Are you better off dealing with their bullshit, or writing your book? Ask yourself that question.
We all do things that require a portion of our time. I used to tinker with computers a lot, building servers, taking computers apart, installing and configuring operating systems, all that kind of stuff. I don't do any of that now. Why? Because I don't have time. My wife and my kids and my close friends are my "good" distractions, so I spend my time on them. That other stuff? Well, it's not more rewarding than writing. By getting rid of these other complexities and time vampires in my life I have more time to write.
While writing, I often listen to music that inspires me to be creative. I prefer movies that make me think and make me want to be a better storyteller. I like artwork that's different, unique, even odd, stuff that I don't see every day. You never know what kind of art is going to inspire your next killer idea. Immersing yourself in it makes it more likely to happen.
Instead of Facebook, try subscribing to blogs. There are many writers out there with lots of good advice on the craft and the business. Anecdotes, opinions, philosophies…all these things can be helpful on your path to "enlightenment". Stay away from the haters and the jealous types; they're no help at all. Look for writers who want to share their experiences in order to bring others up, not the writers who want to get ahead by pushing others down. Artists shouldn't be competing with each other. Our only competition is with ourselves. Anybody who doesn't get that isn't worth your time.
So there you have it, my advice on getting yourself on the path to enlightenment. Or, as I like to call it, one step closer to figuring shit out. I think if you can do some of these things that your life will be a little better and you'll probably be more productive. If nothing else I hope this sparks some thought and serves as a springboard on developing your own thoughts and opinions around what can make you a better writer (and maybe even a happier person).
I wish you happy writing and happy living.

Duo Earns Emmy for Best Instructional SeriesPublished: December 1, 2008
Anthropology's Marcus Young Owl and Linda Light were recognized recently at the 60th annual Los Angeles area programming Emmy Awards for Best Instructional Series in honor of their help in creating the film "Physical Anthropology: The Evolving Human."
Young Owl, who joined the university in 1989, and Light, who joined CSULB in 1995, served as national and local advisors, respectively, charged with making sure the images and language were accurate in the film created by the Fountain Valley-based Coast Learning Systems at Coastline Community College for their public broadcast channel 95.
"I was surprised to receive an Emmy," said Young Owl, who received his doctorate in anthropology from UCLA in 1989. "I didn't even know there were such things as local Emmys, but I'm glad there are."
Light also was caught off guard by her recognition. "This is just great," she said. "I had no idea films like these qualified for Emmys, but I'm pleased they are."
Light is not only a faculty member at CSULB but a double graduate with master's degrees in linguistics in 1982 and another in anthropology in 1995.
The Los Angeles Area Emmy Awards are given for broadcast achievements produced or solely financed and controlled by Los Angeles area television stations or cable TV systems.
Young Owl saw his role as a scientific troubleshooter. "I made a lot of suggestions about what they could do," he explained. "If there was something wrong with their explanation of meiosis, it was up to me to catch it."
Light saw herself as the go-to person for all things anthropological. "I was one of four local advisors who participated in the organization of the videos, what would be on them, how many there would be and what would be the title?" she said. "It was up to us to decide if something was valid to change or not. It was a very powerful feeling."
Young Owl, who received the Distinguished Faculty Teaching Award in 1998, is an expert in the nutritional physiology of primates and has worked on a post-doc in the zoology department at the University of Illinois.
Light comes to her expertise in linguistic anthropology through a lifelong interest in languages. She has studied Latin, Japanese, Russian and Spanish, the latter for her research into the L.A.-based Mayan immigrant community from Guatemala.
Young Owl, who is currently recovering from rotator cuff surgery, is pleased with the award. "This is an honor, not only for Professor Light and I, but for the Anthropology Department," he said.
Light agreed. "There are so many worthy educators in this department, I feel lucky to be recognized," she said.
