That might be what it is...I did forget to uninstall the nVidia drivers before removing the card for the first time. Don't know why I didn't think to do that. Of course, it's not like I can go back and fix it; my monitor won't even read the video card; I can't even get a picture or get my keyboard to work, let alone access my BIOS or my nVidia drivers.
I supposed I could try resetting the CMOS battery again and try running on integrated graphics alone.
And to my knowledge, everything is plugged in where they should be. I just don't understand.

Raul Rojas, a tough former gang member who turned to boxing and became a world featherweight champion, died Sunday of natural causes at a Los Angeles convalescent home, said his daughter Rebecca. He was 70.
Rojas claimed the World Boxing Assn. belt on March 28, 1968, beating Colombian Enrique Higgins by decision at the historic Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles.
He surrendered the belt six months later, losing by unanimous decision against Japan's Shozo Saijo at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
"Rojas always drew a good crowd and was a popular main-eventer because people knew if you saw him fight, you'd always get your money's worth," said former fight publicist Don Fraser, whose California Boxing Hall of Fame counts Rojas as an inductee.
With a career record of 38-7-2 with 24 knockouts, Rojas packed them into the Olympic against the likes of Cuba's Sugar Ramos and Mando Ramos in his final fight, a technical knockout loss on Dec. 10, 1970.
He first had a featherweight title shot at World Boxing Council champ Vicente Saldivar in May 1965 at the Coliseum, but was easily being outpointed when the fight was stopped in the 15th round.
Rojas was born Nov. 5, 1941, and grew up in Watts and East Los Angeles. Two of his brothers were sent to San Quentin State Prison. Rojas led a group called "Little Roy's Gang," according to a 1968 Sports Illustrated article, and was sent to the California Youth Authority following a violent clash in which a fellow gang member was shot dead next to him, "a bullet between his eyes," according to the story.
"All I ever was was tough," Rojas said. "I thought I'd put it to work."
As he told The Times in 1968: "If it were not for boxing, I'd probably either be in San Quentin or would already have made the trip to the gas chamber."
After his boxing career ended, Rojas worked as a longshoreman, Fraser said.
Rojas is survived by his daughters Rebecca and Guadalupe and grandchildren.

The expansion increases Morgan’s fabrication and machining capabilities by 35 percent, opens doors to a new talent pool
Morgan Engineering has acquired the assets of Girard Machine, a 77-year-old heavy fabrication and machining company based in Girard, Ohio. All 32 employees of Girard Machine have been retained by Morgan, including the two former owners, Tom and Mark Malito, who will serve as general managers of the facility that will be known as Morgan Manufacturing Plant No .3.
“Girard Machine has been a reliable supplier to Morgan for many years, delivering the quality that Morgan and our customers demand,” said Mark Fedor, CEO of Morgan. “Our values and processes are aligned, so it makes sense for us to bring our organizations together and build new opportunities for growth.”
The Malito’s grandfather, Dominic Malito, started Girard Machine in 1946 with Guy Chuirazzi. “We are pleased that our family legacy will continue in Girard through Morgan,” said Tom Malito. “Our employees are brought into a well-run, reputable company that has a track record for growth. We are excited to see where the company goes next.”
The Girard location features more than 120,000 square feet of industrial workspace.
Marrying Two Strong Reputations
Custom fabrication is the process of forming raw steel into semi-finished parts, which then are altered through grinding, welding and other means to produce finished parts that go into machine assemblies. The acquisition of Girard Machine expands Morgan’s production capacity by 35 percent and will help the company control lead times within its supply chain because it can produce more parts in-house.
“In addition to production growth, we look forward to reaching new team members in the region who would not have considered Morgan due to the distance,” said Fedor. “We believe this facility will continue to grow in line with the company’s trajectory of consistent advancement. We will acquire some new customers right away and we expect to attract more.”

New Delhi. In the second innings of the Oval Test (India v England, 4th Test), Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul gave Team India a good start. Both players added 3 runs for the first wicket. However, when this pairing was set, it was broken by James Anderson. James Anderson bowled KL Rahul for 46 in the 34th over. However, there was controversy over KL Rahul’s wicket. KL Rahul was caught behind the wicket by Johnny Bairstore, though the umpire gave him a not out. England took a review and dismissed third umpire KL Rahul. Interestingly, KL Rahul was stunned by the decision of the third umpire and shook his head and walked towards the pavilion.
Not only KL Rahul, but also former captain Sunil Gavaskar, who was commenting, was not happy with the wicket. He objected to the third umpire’s decision. At the same time, many fans on social media have been seen calling KL Rahul not out. Although some people thought that KL Rahul was out and the third umpire made the right decision.
Controversy over KL Rahul’s wicket
At the end of the 34th over, James Anderson hit a great length and the ball fell and went out. KL Rahul tries to play ball but he misses. After that England made a quick appeal against him but the umpire declared Rahul not out. England captain Joe Root then took refuge in the DRS. The third umpire took the help of the snico meter and showed that there was movement in the snico meter line while passing the ball with the bat. The third umpire immediately dismissed Rahul. But Rahul was not happy about it.
KL Rahul was not out?
Rahul believed that the bat was on his back pad and there was no contact between the ball and the bat. Sunil Gavaskar was saying the same thing but the third umpire had already given his verdict.
Two torn fans of Rahul’s wicket!

It seems like just yesterday that Oculus, the once small and struggling virtual reality startup was acquired by the tech giant that is Facebook inc. While this occurred just over 2 years ago, a whole lot has changed since then. The company has since launched the consumer version of its product, and just recently released the Oculus Touch controllers that it had been touting for so long. Now, the company is big enough to make major purchases of its own, and has just acquired the eye-tracking startup EyeTribe.
While there has been no official press announcement regarding the acquisition, an Oculus spokesperson has confirmed that the purchase is indeed happening. They were not able to comment on whether or not all 16 members of the EyeTribe team were being moved over to Oculus, but we have to assume that this is more than just a product acquisition.
There is no question as to just how useful eye-tracking technology could be to a company like Oculus. While head tracking is already quite immersive as it is, eye tracking could introduce many benefits such as reducing eye strain, as well as making an application even more immersive. Imagine if an enemy was able to know if you were looking at them, down to the direction of your eyes. Now that is true immersion.
The technology can be quite useful outside of games as well. Facebook has been spending quite a bit of money developing group “hang out” spaces to be integrated with their site and user profiles, and being able to use an avatar that acts like you down to your eye movements is the next step for the technology.
We are slowly but surely inching towards a much more immersive virtual experience, and will one day be able to replicate all the finite movements of the human body to an almost indistinguishable scale. Is this the next step towards plugging into the Matrix? Maybe, but I’m ready for it.
What are your thoughts on the tech? There are more uses for it than we can possibly imagine, and I can’t wait to see what developers can do once it is implemented.

The management of Oduduwa University, Ipetumodu (OUI) in Osun State has disowned the four students remanded by the Magistrate Court sitting in Osogbo on 8th of September, over of secret cult membership and illegal possession of firearms.
The Vice Chancellor of Oduduwa University, Ipetumodu, Professor Chibuzo Nwoke said that the four remanded students; Olabanji Micheal (23), Adewusi Micheal (23), Oyinbo Kehinde (21) and Afolabi Yussuf (23) had been expelled from the institution since the month of June, this year.
He said: “the students who claimed to be our students have been expelled since June. Oduduwa University has zero tolerance for cultism, we expelled the students after being indicted of some irregularities on campus”
He further buttressed that the institution which has been in existence for nine years had never recorded any case of student unrest or violence due to the measures put in place to test the behavior of the students before being admitted into the institution.
“The university is free of cultists, we can assure the parents. The institution is secured with both internal and external security. The university had secured the combined service of the Nigerian Police, Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, Directorate of State Security and other security agencies to maintain peace and order in the university”, he stated.
Professor Nwoke also pleaded with students to avoid behavior that are capable of soiling the image of the University as they would maintain academic excellence and character moulding.
It would be recalled that Magistrate Olubukola Awodele on 8th of September ordered the students accused of posing serious threat to the public through the possession of cache of firearms in the academic environment to be remanded in Ilesha prison pending the assignment of their bail application.

The Forecast EP
- reviewed by Russ Breimeier Copyright Christianity Today International
- 2008 1 May
- Rain Down
- Bottom of the 9th
- Cold World
- Go On
Depending on your perspective, B. Reith is a perfect fit for Gotee Records, or else perfectly indicative of the kind of artists Gotee has gravitated toward over the last five years. Either way, one thing is clear: Once tobyMac discovered Reith's music in 2006, the young Milwaukee native was bound to be right at home with the Gotee label. Of course, Gotee is in something of a transitional state these days after recently regaining independence from EMI. That might explain why this national debut is only five songs long, though
As with labelmates Liquid, Paul Wright, and John Reuben, Reith's influences span the gamut of hip-hop and pop, but leans heaviest on soulful R&B. With co-production by Bryan Lenox (dc Talk, Michael W. Smith), the singer/rapper effectively blends genres in a way that might annoy purists yet endear listeners looking for a more eclectic and melodic expression of rap—there's actual instrumentation here, rather than programmed loops.
"Rain Down" immediately establishes the EP's sound with mellow electric piano, soft B3 organ, light rhythm guitar, and an overall R&B vibe heavily soaked in jazz and soul. A prayer for renewal and guidance, the song runs a bit too long at close to 6 minutes, but it shows enough potential for Reith to develop an interesting jam band to compliment his rhymes. "Bottom of the 9th" delivers a funky groove while reminding us to show care with our words and daily choices, knowing that Christ may return soon. In "Cold World," an acoustic based cut with Latin undertones, Reith warns "don't lose yourself" to depression when life turns difficult.
The rest isn't nearly as heavy in theme, for better or worse. "Awe-Struck" is a playfully tongue-tied romantic rap, while "Go On" echoes KJ-52 with its silly wordplay, offering an introduction to Reith that also explains how to pronounce his name. (Thank goodness we don't need to be subjected to lame "Be Right" puns.) Frivolous as some of the songs are,


If you live in a Western country your brain has been inundated with claims about attempts by the ‘Putin regime’ in trying to undermine your values, beliefs, media choices and democracy. This article is a modest attempt to examine the other side of the story.
Analyzing tweets about MH17 has been the latest tool used to ‘prove’ foul play by Russia when it comes to injecting false information about the downing of the Malaysian Boeing in the Western public domain. Continue reading “Weaponizing info about MH17”
Who brought down MH17? For the Dutch government it is certain that the Russian military is to blame. But according to researcher Max van der Werff there is every reason to doubt. “Based on the evidence that has been made public, I still cannot reach any definitive conclusion.”
In a few weeks it will be four years ago since the Malaysian Boeing MH17 was shot from the air. 298 People were killed and the tragedy became part of a geopolitical chess game that will last for decades. Russia is currently in the defense.
“Russian Images of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 Were Altered, Report Finds”
“MOSCOW – A group of arms control researchers have determined that two images released by the Russian government, ostensibly to help clarify why a civilian airliner was shot down two years ago, were digitally altered using Photoshop before being posted online.” (New York Times 15 July 2016)
In this article I will dissect a particularly vicious piece of propaganda disseminated by RTL Nieuws on December 22nd 2014. For practical purposes split up in four separate sections with transcripts and my comments.
More than a year has passed since Malaysian flight MH17 crashed, but we are still waiting for the publication of “overwhelming evidence” of Russian culpability.
The only ‘visual proof’ a Buk missile was fired from rebel controlled territory is a photo posted by an anonymous Twitter account three hours after the crash.

Get ready to blow your audience's socks off with the new Mackie SA1521z Active loudspeakers! The SA1521z is a result of a collaboration between Mackie and Eastern Acoustic works that packs 500 watts of wallop into an innovative enclosure and delivers amazingly clean, open sound.
• New design with increased power, recalibrated electronics and audiophile tuning
• Clean, clear sound from 15" woofer and 1.75" tweeter
• Unique horn design focuses mids and highs
• 500 watts of power
• Super-efficient cabinet design by Eastern Acoustic Works
New design with increased power, recalibrated electronics and audiophile tuning
The Super Active SA1521z PA speakers are designed to improve upon the award-winning Mackie SA designs of the past with maximized power, recalibrated active electronics, high-definition neodymium drivers, as well as extensive acoustic design and tuning by the world-renowned Eastern Acoustic Works engineering team. These speakers give you maximum sound from a compact footprint, making them ideal for gigging in clubs and touring in the van.
Clean, clear sound from 15" woofer and 1.75" tweeter
The SA1521z 2-way system employs several distinct elements to achieve its amazing accuracy and full, natural sound. High frequencies are produced by a 1.75" neodymium compression driver. The SA1521z employs a 15" low-frequency driver for clean, tight bass. Frequency response for the SA1521z is a remarkably full 44Hz-20kHz.
Unique horn design focuses mids and highs
Additionally, the SA1521z features an optimized horn element that incorporates a low-distortion symmetric phase plug for improved dispersion and very natural mid and high-frequency response. The resulting dispersion pattern provides open, natural sound for the entire audience, even at extreme output levels - giving the 2-way SA1521z loudspeakers a distinct high-definition signature across the range.
500 watts of power
The new SA1521z loudspeaker offers 400 watts of power to lows and 100 watts to highs for plenty of punch. The completely re-calibrated active electronics, which include precision crossover, level protection and electronic time correction, work in concert with the new neodymium high-frequency drivers to deliver greater accuracy, increased output, and reduced weight. To ensure maximum structural rigidity, the SA1521z features robust cabinets constructed from 18mm Baltic birch plywood and pressure-injected structural resin.
Super-efficient cabinet design by Eastern Acoustic Works
In addition, the new SA1521z was developed and tuned exclusively by the Eastern Acoustic Works (EAW) engineering team. As a result of their efforts, every model in Mackie's new SA Series range functions as a highly efficient system, optimizing acoustic, electronic and mechanical designs to achieve the highest level of performance and value.

OTTAWA — Justin Trudeau's minority Liberal government has survived the second of three confidence votes on the massive federal budget.
A Conservative amendment was defeated by a vote of 213-120, with Liberals, Bloc Quebecois, New Democrat and Green MPs all voting against it.
The amendment called for the budget to be revised because, the Conservatives claimed, it will add "over half a trillion dollars in new debt that can only be paid through higher job-killing taxes," including more than $100 billion in new spending that the Conservatives dubbed "a re-election fund."
On Wednesday, a Bloc Quebecois sub-amendment was also easily defeated.
The government had informed opposition parties that it would consider both votes to be matters of confidence, meaning the government would fall if either of them passed.
A third opportunity to pass judgment on the budget comes Monday, when the House of Commons will vote on the main motion to approve the government's general budgetary policy.
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has promised that his party will prop up the minority government on all budget votes to avoid triggering an election in the midst of a deadly third wave of COVID-19.

Strong Sunlight and its Effects on Rugs: Material Matters
When it comes to decorating your home, one of the most important factors to consider is how the materials you choose will be affected by sunlight. Over time, strong sunlight can cause fading, discolouration, and damage to rugs, making it crucial to understand the different materials and their reactions to sunlight. In this blog post, we'll explore the effects of strong sunlight on various rug materials and provide tips on how to protect your rugs from sun damage.
- Wool Rugs
Wool is one of the most popular materials for rugs, thanks to its durability, softness, and natural ability to resist staining. However, wool is not immune to the effects of sunlight. Over time, prolonged exposure to strong sunlight can cause wool rugs to fade and become discoloured. To protect your wool rug from sun damage, consider placing it in an area with indirect sunlight or using window treatments to block out harmful UV rays.
- Cotton Rugs
Cotton rugs are lightweight, easy to clean, and versatile, making them a popular choice for many homeowners. However, they are also more susceptible to sun damage than other materials. Similar to wool, cotton rugs can fade and become discoloured when exposed to strong sunlight for extended periods. To maintain the vibrant colours of your cotton rug, it's essential to limit its exposure to direct sunlight and consider using window treatments, such as curtains or blinds, to block out harmful UV rays.
- Synthetic Rugs
Synthetic rugs, made from materials like polyester and polypropylene, are known for their durability and resistance to wear and tear. Although they are more resistant to sun damage than natural materials like wool and cotton, synthetic rugs can still suffer from fading and discolouration when exposed to strong sunlight. To protect your synthetic rug from sun damage, ensure it is placed in a location that receives minimal direct sunlight or use window treatments to block out the sun's rays.
- Sisal and Jute Rugs
Sisal and jute rugs, made from natural plant fibers, are known for their durability and earthy, rustic appearance. However, they are also highly susceptible to sun damage. When exposed to strong sunlight, sisal and jute rugs can quickly become discoloured and brittle. To keep your sisal or jute rug looking its best, place it in an area with minimal direct sunlight, and use window treatments to protect it from harmful UV rays.
- Silk Rugs
Silk rugs are luxurious, elegant, and often come with a high price tag. Unfortunately, they are also the most delicate and susceptible to sun damage among all rug materials. Prolonged exposure to strong sunlight can cause silk rugs to fade and become discoloured, significantly reducing their value and appeal. If you own a silk rug, it's crucial to place it in a location that receives little to no direct sunlight and to use window treatments to block out the sun's rays.
To ensure the longevity and beauty of your rugs, it's essential to understand how different materials react to strong sunlight. By taking simple precautions like placing your rug in an area with indirect sunlight or using window treatments to block out harmful UV rays, you can protect your investment and enjoy your beautiful rugs for years to come.

Plastic-Free Oceans and Waterways
"The oceans, seemingly limitless, invoke in us a sense of awe and wonder ...yet they are still the least explored."
With these words, Sir David Attenborough introduces the extraordinary documentary series Blue Planet II.
But suddenly, his tone of voice changes,
"We have also come to recognize an uncomfortable fact, the health of our oceans is under threat."
More than eight million tonnes of plastic are estimated to enter the sea every year. There will be more plastic than fish in the sea by 2050, and 99 percent of the planet's seabirds will have eaten some. According to a University of Ghent study, the average person who eats seafood swallows up to 11,000 pieces of microplastic every year. So "plastic is very much on the menu".
This week we celebrate Earth Day by highlighting some of the most promising innovations trying to turn the tide on ocean plastics. We agree that leakage must stop way before plastic pollution reaches our waterways. But until that happens, the amazing changemakers battling it out on the rivers and seas are the need of the hour.
Plastic Waste Recovery in Oceans and Waterways
Here are some examples of innovations and solutions to the marine waste issue.
• A project that has received a lot of attention lately is The Ocean CleanUp – focusing on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Despite recent technical difficulties, the team is determined to continue on.
• Others, like ReCleanSea are working off smaller footprints.
• This exciting Ecuadorian startup is developing technologies to prevent macro and micro plastics entering into the phytoplankton growth areas in coastal zones.
Rivers, Coastlines and Harbors
Advocacy and Awareness
Greenbiz has launched “Accelerate at Circularity 19” - a fast pitch competition featuring entrepreneurs with innovative technologies, products, and services advancing a circular economy.
The Ocean Plastics Innovation Challenge by National Geographic and Sky Ocean Ventures is accepting submissions till June 11. Teams will compete for aggregate prize purses of up to $500,000.

Recent years have shown us, through economic uncertainty and growing inequality, that our current systems are far from perfect. With a clearer picture of the challenges of the next few decades evolving, and an emergent global movement for delivering shared goals such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals, we need to both address the instabilities of our current systems and re-engineer them to deliver better sustainable lives for humanity as a whole.
Alongside the challenges we already face, there is growing concern about those we will face in the future. One such fear is that of population and its impacts, but should the scale of humanity be seen as a threat or as an opportunity?
Is (population) size important?
Population growth over the last 100 years has undoubtedly been dramatic, as this graph from Our World in Data shows, but the relation between sustainability and population is not a simple one.
We live in a world where nearly 80% of the world’s resources are consumed by just 20% of the world’s population. Moreover, that consumption can be wasteful in terms of total material efficiency. The ecological rucksack concept reveals that quantity of natural resources, including raw materials (renewable and non-renewable), energy, water and land required for a kilogram of finished product can vary hugely. For example, 1kg of aluminium requires 85kg of resources and 1kg of copper needs 500kg.
Population on its own is not the main driver of unsustainability. Consumption is.
Whilst it is definitely sensible to be concerned about the relationships between population growth and increased consumption, further ecological decline and increased inequity, it is also worth reflecting on the fact that population growth is strongly related to neo-natal mortality.
Population dynamics show a fundamental rationality. In situations of high neo-natal mortality and poor social infrastructure, people tend to keep having children based upon the likelihood of enough of them surviving to support parents in their old age.
When children reliably survive, there follows a change in demographics. Should we be able to improve the quality of life and life chances of the world’s populations, we stand a good chance of a levelling off of the world’s population at around 9.5 or 10.5 (ish) billion people.
The mess we are currently in is not one of population per se, but of an economic structure which promotes inefficient consumption without recognising that it operates within a substantially finite system.
Sustaining consumption – the seeds of sustainability are around us
The means to change the relationship between consumption and impact, to reduce either the material and energetic wastage of production processes, or the negative environmental and social impacts of wasteful consumption, already exist.
Should they be deployed with intent, at a large enough scale, we would be able to make significant progress towards sustainability.
There are promising initiatives and approaches out there which seek to deliver radical sustainable change, they include circular production, renewable energy, sustainable commodities and technological innovation.
Real-world examples include:
The challenge then, is not that we need to invent new and miraculous ways of delivering a sustainable future, but to deploy techniques and approaches that exist at a global scale. In order to do this, we also need a focus on the fundamental systems of value, prioritisation and production which give rise to our current unsustainability, to create fertile ground for sustainable seeds.
Making sustainable choices the norm, rather than the exception, is the major means by which sustainable intent will turn into sustainable action. However, making such outcomes the default requires a more significant evolution of value than is currently underway through most responsible consumption and ‘green growth’ initiatives.
Towards 9 Billion: Shall we tidy the house, or loot it?
Feeding, clothing, housing and providing the other stuff of life to a global population at scale over time is a challenge to be sure, just as the evolution of our systems of finance and production so that they innately produce sustainable outcomes presents a similarly lofty goal.

Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish @ http://brokeandbookish.blogspot.com/2013/08/top-ten-favorite-secondary-characters.html
This Week’s Top Ten Tuesday’s Topic is My Top Ten Favorite Secondary Characters —
Hey Everyone! I’ve missed my Top Ten Tuesdays and I’m back – so check out my favorite book secondary characters and share what you think too – if you have a blog, share your link, and if not – please just share in the comment space – I think it’s awesome to share some spot light on the characters we so often tend to pass by!! So here we go!
#1 — Love “The Hunger Games” By Suzanne Collins – and I LOVE Cinna and Haymitch. I couln’t pick just one here – they both place such important part’s in Katniss’s life during this awful time. I also love they chose L Kravitz and Woody Harrelson to play them in the movie – great choice!
#2 – Roar from “Under the Never Sky” series by Veronica Rossi. I love Roar for his dedication and his friendship and his general awesomeness – seeing his story with Liv killed me but I hope better things are to come for this awesome guy!
#3 — I just devoured this series – “Point of Retreat” by Colleen Hoover and am a huge fan of Will and Lake – but their story may have ended too early without the help of the amazing young people in their lives – First Kiersten – so smart and wise for her young age and played a curcial role in that big Slam moment and then Caulder and Kel – The book would not have been the same without them. An honorable mention to Eddie and Gavin too – but the little ones really stole my heart!
#4 — “Beautiful Disaster” by Jamie McGuire. One of my favorite stories ever – and like the above I cannot go without mentioning 2 characters here, they are equally important and the story would not have been the same without them – America and Shep and I loved their love almost as much as Travis and Abby’s love. Great characters!
#5 — “The Mortal Instrument” Series by Cassandra Claire – while thinking about secondary characters I could not leave Simon or Magnus withiout mention – Simon in particular — He was so loyal to Clary right to the point he got himself into an unimaginable situation — You could not ask for a better friend.
#6 — “Twilight” by Stephanie Meyer. For this all I have to say is Alice – I love her pixie like character who was Bella’s friend from the first moment she came into the picture – literally. She planned the wedding and was so integral to the story in more ways than one..
#7 — “Rule” by Jay Crownover: I love this story – the rough and tough guy being brought to his knees by love. The story would not have happened without some amazing back up characters – Ayden for Shaw (who gets her own story in the next book with Jet) and Nash/Rome for Rule. I also love Cora who comes to play a bigger role in the next book. A lot of great supporting characters here —
#8 – “Flat Out Love” by Jessica Park: This is another favorite re-reader story and my first thought as a secondary character was Celeste – and yes she is crucial, but I think the true supporting character here is Finn who made it all happen — if you read the story you know what I mean, and he absolutely holds a special place in my heart – Read it if you have not and if you have – You know how important Finn was to this story… He was Flat out necessary to this story!
#9 – “Left Drowning” by Jessica Park: I know another Jessica Park – but seriously — she is amazing, I have an author cursh on her right now (which is not at all creepy!). This story is all about family and dynamics atop the hot romance, and one character that literally stole my heart from the first sentence out of his mouth was Sabin. Love some Sabin!
#10 – “Safe Haven” by Nicholas Sparks: This book is great and I always think of Jo or Carly. Sparks always has some great surprises and I love the way this character comes in and brings the two main characters together – the fact that, well I don’t want to spoil it, but I will say I was blind until the end and revelation of who Jo was. Amazing story and I highly reccommend it –
Well that’s all Folks!
I did want to give one honorable mention to Jason Stackhouse from “True Blood” By Charlaine Harris – I just love him…
Anyway – really that’s all for me – tell me what you think – comment away, what are your favorite secondary characters? I love to remember things I might not think of now and hear what other people have to say — So spill it! Or leave a link to yours!
Happy Tuesday Everyone!

This year, everybody gets an Oskar.
Allegheny International Inc. has sent Sunbeam Oskar food processors (retail list $87.95) to nominees in the five most prominent categories, with a note of good luck.
“Sunbeam thought the play on the name was too good to pass up,” said Allegheny spokeswoman Jennifer Eidson.
She said Allegheny has received no responses yet, but claimed that when the stars’ agents were notified of the gifts, “they were real excited.”
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was less thrilled. For a comment on the promotional ploy, they had a curt “no comment.”
Undaunted, Allegheny is thinking about sending Oskars every year.

Question posted in the Divorce Law category relating to Gauteng
My ex-husband, who is an attorney and drafted our divorce settlement, has recently claimed that he is over-paying for child maintenance after 2 years of being divorced. He pays a cash sum every month for our 2 kids (which includes kids clothing). Since the beginning of the divorce, he verbally agreed to pay for 50% of all kids lothing. This being in addition to the monthly cash maintenance. Every time I have bought the kids clothes, I have confirmed that he is ok with the purchase, then provide him with a copy of the store receipt together with an invoice for 50% of the costs. I acknowledge he has technically been paying "twice", but this was done willingly and knowingly by him for the last 2 years. I viewed this as an act of good faith.
He claims to now have gone back to the settlement agreement and realises he’s been over paying and wants to stop paying the 50% contribution to kids clothes. My thinking is that he has created a precedence by willingly doing this for the last 2 years? I would obviously want him to continue paying both as he has been.
What advise can you offer and how would this be viewed in court?
Message from the Lawyer
Hi there and thank you for your question,
I am a practicing attorney based in South Africa and I will assist you with your question. Please feel free to ask as many follow up questions in order to clarify your question. If you have a new question, you must please open a new thread.
Please keep in mind that our discussions is for general information purposes only. Our engagement on this website does not create an attorney-client relationship.
I agree that it sounds like he has been paying "twice" for the kids clothes as an act of good faith. The problem is that, legally speaking, his good faith could change at a moment's notice. The only way to obtain certainty in relation to monthly payments is for the agreement to be recorded in the maintenance order. Then there is no debate around it.
In my opinion, and based on what you've explained, he would be entitled to stop paying the additional 50% contribution towards the kids clothing if he wants to. Primarily because such payment is not in the maintenance order.
Unfortunately, no, there is no such precedent which has been created. He has been doing more than the minimum in terms of the maintenance order, and he is legally entitled to refuse to do this anymore, and can default back to the minimum in terms of the order.
I do not see any way that you can force him to continue with this practice.
The only thing that you can do is to apply to the maintenance court for a variation of the monthly maintenance, in order to increase the maintenance amount, but you will need to justify the increased maintenance amount, and he will have the opportunity to object to the increased maintenance amount request. Ultimately, the maintenance officer will need to consider the facts and make a decision as to what is fair and reasonable.
The maintenance officer wouldn't take into account the fact that he has previously been paid for clothing twice. The maintenance officer will only look at the facts at hand to see - (i) what your child needs, and (ii) whether your ex-husband can afford it.

Check out all these beans have gotten through the huge thriving garden, is going to attract a whole host of insect life from pollinators to pass to the carnivorous insects that feed off of the pests, like are praying mantises and wasps.
In the carnivorous ladybugs. In this article, I’m going to be identifying some of the more common garden pests. It’s always good to know what bug is in your garden?
Common Garden Pests and How to Identify
1. Squash Bugs
So, what we have here is a mating pair of squash bugs. Squash, bugs are sap-sucking insects and they mainly attack squash hence the name, but they’ll also attack your cucumbers in your melons.
Squash bugs overwinter, as adults in your garden debris and then they come out in the spring and lay eggs on your new plant. So they could do a number of damages to your young squash plants.
Once the plants get bigger, they can handle the damage a little bit better. We want to break the cycle and catch as many of the adults as we can.
So they don’t get the chance to lay eggs. Next year. This is a group of nymphs on the way to being adults who are more gray-colored a little bit easier to see. The adults look just like when chips and they’re really hard to find if they’re not on the leaves.
Say I look just like a wood chipper Garden, debris in. They’ll be very still and you’ll never see them. These are some hatchlings. It doesn’t look anything like the adults right now. They’re just black with these green round butts. And I’ll just knock these off of the leaves into my bucket.
If I can find some eggs on this plant. Now, normally, they’ll lay their eggs on the underside of leaves. And most often on the lower leaves of the plant. Yes. He hears them. Usually in clusters of about 20 or so. And they are a shiny copper color and they’re hard. So I usually just scrape them off of the leaves and toss them in the bucket.
I usually spend about an hour in the evenings picking up bugs and eggs off my plants. This bucket is just water with dish soap. The dish soap keeps the bugs from being able to crawl back out.

2. Cabbage Worm
This is a cabbage worm. It’s the caterpillar for the cabbage white, butterfly. You saw those little white butterflies floating around in your garden. You think they’re cute, they are. But they’re probably lying on your brassicas.
These are brussels sprouts that I’ve kind of neglected. This is not damage caused by cabbage worms.

All the slugs usually come out at night. It’s why you don’t see anything on these plants doing this damage and the day. So you can either go out at night and pick them off or some people will put sand around the base of the brassicas.
It’s too dry and sharp for the slugs to be able to crawl across. I haven’t tried that though. I might need to do that now.

4. Ladybug and Squash Lady Beetle
Ladybugs are not carnivorous. Unfortunately, it’s a plant-eater and it’s kind of a dull coppery color with small black dots.
Another planting ladybug. This is squash lady Beetle and it looks a lot like the Mexican bean Beetle, except it’s more orange, a little shinier and it’s got bigger black spots and it’s got one extra big black spot kind of in the middle there.
Now, the larvae of these two beetles look the same. They’re both yellow with black spines, they’re very tiny when they hatch but they molt a few times until they’re about this big. They’re very easy to see in very slow-moving. So this is an easy one to catch and keep under control.
Here’s one of those larvae that are entered into the pupil stage, right before they turn into a beetle. They’ll attach themselves to one spot for a few days while they are pupating the eggs.
Also, look the same for these two beetles. And unfortunately, they look the same for the red ladybugs, but I have not seen any of these here. So I’m going to destroy these eggs assuming that they are of the plant-eating sort.
Now, this is a pretty notorious past. They do a ton of damage to things like grapevines in three trees and unfortunately, in my strawberries.
5. Japanese Beetles
Japanese beetles will do a lot of damage to plants. I’ll just pick those off of the leaves and throw them into my bucket. And hopefully, I’ll be able to prevent them from laying a lot of eggs. These things have the grubs that live under the ground in the dirt, the big white girl.
6. Squash Vine Borer
The malls are kind of an orangish-red with black wings, and they lay their eggs at the base of your squash plants and their larvae bore into the vines.
I’ve had some success with just covering up the basis of my plants with dirt and mulch and I guess it kind of suffocates the larvae that are in there.
You can cut them out. I’ve done that before. They tend to lay single eggs on the stems of your plants, so they can be really hard to find.
7. Cucumber Beetle
They mainly attack your cucumber plants, but they’ll also attack your beans in your squash and I have seen them on pretty much everything. These suckers are able to transmit bacterial wilt between your plants and they’re very fast-moving and very hard to catch that are yellow with black stripes.
These are flea beetles teeny, tiny black, beetles that hop and they leave these itty-bitty, little holes in your plants and when they come they seem to come in the thousands.
So picking them off is not really going to work. So I have not tried this spray, but I think I’m going to give it a go and see if it helps at all, and they’ll attack pretty much anything.
If it’s on the underside of my squash plant teeny tiny aphids with little ants. It’s actually kind of cool. They don’t seem to be hurting the plant too much so I might leave them be because I like having the ants around, this is my sunflower and it’s got carpenter ants in a bigger kind of aphid on the leaves.
And you can see the yellowing in the leaf for the aphids or sucking the sap out of the plant, but they don’t seem to be hurting.
The plant that much and I really like having the ants around because they help to keep pests away. So I think that I’m just going to let them be. Plus, they’re really cool. If it was on my vegetable plants, I would probably get rid of them.
9. Sunflower Giant Caterpillars
The sunflower giant caterpillars are also known as the tobacco hornworm. This one is on a potato plant that will attack your tomatoes are related to the tomato hornworm, but it’s not the same thing.
It’s actually really kind of cool but I have to get rid of it. All right guys, well, that’s all for today.

After the Realme 2 launch last month, the newly-formed brand has launched the Realme 2 Pro smartphone in India. The new Realme 2 Pro model sees an upgrade in RAM, processor, camera, and other departments. With an aggressive Realme 2 Pro price in India, the company is looking to entice the buyers with waterdrop-shaped display notch (which the company is calling Dewdrop), up to 8GB of RAM, and Snapdragon 660 SoC. The smartphone sports a polycarbonate resin dewdrop back cover delivering a sense of transparency, rear fingerprint sensor, and has a horizontally stacked dual camera setup as well.
Realme 2 Pro: Specifications, Features
The Realme 2 Pro features an impressive 6.3-inch sized IPS LCD Dewdrop Full-Screen display with 1080 x 2340 Full HD+ resolution and a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. Thanks to the Dewdrop notch at the top of the display, Realme 2 Pro has an even higher screen-to-body ratio than the Realme 2. At 90.8 percent, the screen-to-body ratio of the Realme 2 Pro is, in fact, the highest in its class. The display is protected by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass, although, the company has not specified the exact version. Another key highlight of the Realme 2 Pro is the processor inside. While some Realme fans were unhappy with the company’s decision to go with the Snapdragon 450 chipset for the Realme 2, they will be glad to learn that the Realme 2 Pro runs on a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 AIE processor under the hood.
So far, only two other smartphones powered by the same chipset have been launched below the Rs. 20,000 price segment in India – Xiaomi Mi A2 and Vivo V9 Pro. The 14nm octa-core processor comes clocked at up to 2.2 GHz with an Adreno 512 GPU. In the memory department, Realme 2 Pro impresses with up to a whopping 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. It will also be available in 4GB RAM + 64GB storage and 6GB RAM + 64GB storage variants. The 128GB variant uses UFS 2.1 flash storage, allowing for faster system performance.
Moving on to optics, the Realme 2 Pro features a dual-camera setup at the rear with a 16MP Sony IMX398 primary sensor. The primary sensor comes with Dual Pixel technology for fast focus speeds, EIS for stable video recording, and a 6P f/1.7 aperture lens. For depth-sensing, the smartphone uses a 2MP resolution secondary sensor. Some of the other key camera features include AI scene recognition and an AI Portrait Mode. For selfies, the smartphone has a 16MP front camera with AI Beautify feature that works even when you capture group selfies. Connectivity features include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.0 Low Energy, GPS with A-GPS, GLONASS, and 4G VoLTE. Keeping the lights on is a 3500mAh capacity battery. In terms of software, the smartphone runs ColorOS 5.2 based on Android 8.1 Oreo.

Modern lifestyles ensure that you are always connected to the internet – in the form of smartphones, laptops, tablets, gaming systems or in cars. And all this is possible because of wireless technology, or WiFi. Wireless technology employs radio frequency instead of copper wires or fibre optics (light). With this type of technology gaining popularity everywhere because of its convenience and cost-effectiveness, many people don’t realize that they are also becoming exposed to security and speed issues.
Computers have become so much a part of modern life that one feels helpless without them. They are the lifeline for everything, including staying in touch, sharing and finding information, business, education, entertainment, etc. People spend hours on the net daily, browsing through favourite websites, enjoying music and videos or simply hanging out on social networking sites. All this is aside from official uses by businesses and organizations.
Also known as Voice over IP, VOIP is gaining importance all over the world wherever the internet is available. It allows callers to make free phone calls over a LAN (local area network) or the internet. This technology has a list of attractive features and a price that’s unbeatable.
For those of you not in the know, VOIP refers to Voice over IP and allows users to make cheap phone calls using the internet. VOIP can be used over a number of devices including computers, laptops, ATAs (Analog terminal adaptors) and IP phones. With advancements in this relatively new technology, this system can now be used on smartphones and tablets too.
D2 and D3 modems are also known as DOCSIS modems with the full form standing for Data over Cable Service Interface Specifications. DOCSIS is an international telecommunications standard which allows the addition of high-bandwidth data transfer over a coaxial cable TV system.
An internet service provider – the mouthful version of ISP, refers to companies that provide internet access to the masses and includes ISP giants like Asianet. This service could be for home use, office use or even for mobile users. There are different types of technologies that ISPs use to transmit data to their users. It could be in the form of old technologies like the dial-up or more recent ones like DSL, cable, satellite or wireless systems.
We have all gone through those days when the world-wide-web has seemed like a world-wide-wait – when downloading files seems to take forever. For this reason, the primary deciding factor to consider before deciding on an internet service provider is to check the internet speeds offered. The two major types of internet service providers that easily fit into the budget are cable and DSL; others include fiber optics but it’s a little expensive and not easily available as yet.
Gone are the days when the pen was the most important tool in this world; times have changed and now the internet rules the world. The internet offers a collection of important services and resources that are essential to daily living.
To better understand DOCSIS technology, you first need to understand what it stands for. It is an international telecommunication standard that stands for Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification and is used to provide internet connection via a cable modem. It allows transmission of high bandwidth data transfer over existing cable TV wires. While DOCSIS 1.0 was ratified as far back as 1998, its now also referred to as Certified Cable Modems, emphasizing that the standard is being used to certify cable modems that conform to DOCSIS.
Are you among those people who commonly get jinxed by internet terms? Welcome to the club! For those of you having problems in differentiating between internet metrics such as Mbps and MBps, here is some simple clarification.

I used to blog like a mad woman, but I'll be the first to admit that I've gotten away from it. I'm working on updating this blog to make it more interesting. I'll try to add pictures of things other than my jewelry, too. :)
Aside from making jewelry, my other favorite thing to do is travel. Tony and my dream is to see as much of the world as we can. We've barely touched the tip of the iceberg. The picture above was taken last October in Montreal. We loved that city! That was easily one of my favorite trips ever. We have so many great memories of the people, architecture and places we saw there. And I must say, my husband is becoming quite the photographer!

Decades of experience in the yacht industry, a Europe-wide network of partners and customers, and a first-class sales history: Torsten and Oliver Sieckmann join Deutsche Yachten with Sieckmann Yachts.
For five years already, the Hamburg-based company has stood for quality, experience and trust in the yacht business. Founder Torsten Sieckmann knows the industry well: he has been actively involved in the yacht business since 1986, worked for the long-established Bootscenter Krick and later took over Europe-wide sales for the Sunseeker brand as Sales Director. In 1995, his brother Oliver Sieckmann followed him into the yachting business – together they anchored the Sieckmann name in the yachting industry until they finally founded the Sieckmann Yachts company together in 2016.
For the brothers, yachting means passion, fulfilment and freedom, and it is precisely these feelings that they want to pass on to their customers. Their declared goal: to turn dreams and desires into reality – with personality, transparency and Hanseatic integrity.
Sieckmann Yachts offers hand-picked pre-owned and new yachts from the world’s most renowned yacht brands – including Feretti Yachts, Custom Line and Pershing. The portfolio also includes a wide selection of charter yachts of all sizes, as well as comprehensive advice on the best berths and marinas. Thanks to years of experience in the yachting business, the Sieckmann brothers bundle a tremendous amount of know-how in their company, underpinned with a fair amount of passion for water sports.
“Whether as a surfer, sailor or on board a yacht – I was always drawn to the sea. Being on the water means freedom,” says Torsten Sieckmann, who spent much of his youth on the water. “Now I make sure that others can also experience this freedom.”
Claus Ehlert Meyer, Managing Director of the Deutsche Yachten working group is pleased about the newest member: “With Sieckmann Yachts, our association has gained a young but already very established member. The Sieckmann brothers know the European market well and can draw on a wealth of experience when it comes to finding exactly the right ship for their customers. This expertise is very valuable for the whole group.”


Pi Green begins testing filter-less tech
The company co-founders pointed out that though it may take a few years for heavy vehicle segment in India to reache meaningful conversion levels of e-mobility, the filter-less technology developed by them can be used in the intermediate period.
Pune-based technology startup, Pi Green Innovations has begun piloting its 'filter-less' technology in collaboration with a few state transportation units (STUs).
Company's co-founders Shantanu Sonaikar and Irfan Pathan in an interaction with Autocar Professional pointed out that though it may take a few years for heavy vehicle segment in India to reache meaningful conversion levels of e-mobility, the filter-less technology developed by them can be used in the intermediate period.
"We are doing the analysystics on it which requires driving these vehicles across different conditions and geographies," the duo noted. In layman's language, filterless technology is based on an electrostatic precipitator and has an auto cleaning mechanism. " We have designed it in such a way that we can do an auto clean cycle to clean charge plates without any downtime", the duo continued. Further, the carbon byproduct derived out of the process can be forward integrated into manufacturing of carbon black which is used in the tyre industry apart from other uses. Pi Green, which also does similar retrofitting in diesel generators, has set up about 150 installations across India, which it claims releases 97 percent carbon.
Furthermore, it comes at a fraction of cost at a maximum of about Rs 3.5 for retrofitting a bus with filter-less technology. A complete transition to EV on the other hand costs around Rs 3-3.5 crore in case of a bus, which may not be financially viable for STUs and fleet operators under the present economic uncertainties. Even the scrappage policy which was introduced recently by the Government is applicable for vehicles which are older than 15 years, though there are thousands of buses and trucks which are hardly 5-10 years old but have covered 10-15 lakh kilometers, thereby conyributing to toxic fumes in the environment.
