Six miles from the start line in the sleepy, eastern Cascades outpost of Sisters, the Oregon Trail racecourse veers off the asphalt of the McKenzie Highway onto the knotty, rutted, occasionally sandy Santiam Wagon Road and, for the remainder of the event’s 350 miles, largely doesn’t return to pavement. Promising five days of pedaling on some of the most scenic back roads in the Pacific Northwest, the Oregon Trail Gravel Grinder debuts in June as the self-proclaimed first gravel stage race in the country. More than just another cycling bucket list event, however, this new, five-day ride offers a glimpse into the evolution of U.S. road riding, from the hard-charging racing days of the Lance Armstrong era to the emergence and ascendancy of gravel.
“We have been working on the road racing side of events for two decades, and lately we’ve seen nothing but decline,” said Chad Sperry, owner of Breakaway Promotions, the company behind the Oregon Trail. “But our gravel events are exploding.”
Gravel cycling isn’t exactly new—cyclists have been riding drop handlebars and skinny tires on mixed terrain in events like Paris-Roubaix since the turn of the 20th century—but it’s only really taken hold as a genre in the last four or five years. Unbound Gravel, which has developed into one of the best-known gravel race in the country, coasted along as a relatively grassroots, local event until 2013, when its registration numbers nearly doubled to around 1,000—since then, it’s almost tripled again. And it wasn’t until 2014 that Salsa, one of the earliest proponents of the genre, launched its first dedicated gravel bike, the Warbird Ti. Despite that novelty, however, road bikes with fatter tires and more forgiving riding positions have commanded the market in the last few years. Gravel was the fastest-growing bike category in 2017 and the only road subcategory that didn’t contract in 2018.
Some of that momentum can be chalked up to disenchantment with road riding, both from its decades of scandals and “doping baggage,” as well as its stoic focus on competition. “The ‘Lance effect’ is a big factor in the shift away from road racing we’ve seen since 2010,” said Neil Shirley, one of the country’s most-decorated domestic road racers of the last decade who now works as marketing manager at Enve wheels. “People have gravitated to gravel events because they offer a different experience and inclusive atmosphere compared to what the road scene was delivering.” The increased risks associated with traffic and distracted drivers are also fueling gravel, according to Sperry. “In central Oregon, [in Bend,] we’ve seen the population quadruple in the last 25 years, but the paved road infrastructure hasn’t kept pace,” said Sperry. “From a safety and enjoyment standpoint, of course cyclists are turning to dirt roads.” Technology has driven gravel’s rise, too, as manufacturers have stepped up and adapted drop-bar bikes to the demands of dirt. “In only a few years, bikes have improved in almost every way,” said Joe Meiser, a senior product manager at Salsa Cycles who has worked on most of the company’s gravel offerings. “Disc brakes, stable geometries, frame compliance, and, one of the last missing components, big-volume tires and clearance for them … it’s all added up to enjoying the ride not just enduring it.” The addition of high-quality, but affordable models like Salsa’s Journeyman and Cannondale’s Topstone has further fed the interest.
But gravel’s rise is also a cultural phenomenon. Incubated in the Midwest, where long passages of dirt are an inescapable part of the road riding landscape, the genre has earned a reputation for rootsy but also hardcore races (hence: “gravel grinding”), thanks to epic seminal events such as Almanzo, Trans Iowa and Unbound Gravel.
Lately, though, more and more events are surfacing that forgo the suffering for a laid-back, community-oriented, festival approach. From new race-focused events that are offering more approachable options and post-event block parties (think: SBT GRVL) to whole new ride series that place a premium on the community experience over competition, such as Rebecca’s Private Idaho, gravel is embracing its tradition of inclusion. “I think that gravel got its footing thanks to the big, more grueling events because they are noteworthy,” said Nick Legan, author of Gravel Cycling, the definitive book on the subject. “There’s always going to be a place for rides where people can really test themselves. But now the focus is shifting more toward inclusiveness and community.”
Case in point: the Oregon Trail Gravel Grinder, which will travel a 350-mile loop through the Cascades from Sisters, 30 minutes north of Bend. Averaging 70 miles of riding for each of its five days, the event is no walk in the park. But the route is a lot more manageable than many old-school epic gravel events, and there are categories for riders seeking shorter and easier options. Sperry said that while the course, which travels empty, red cinder roads through high-desert plains and moss-swathed rainforests, is a big part of the appeal, so is the atmosphere and community. The ride will assemble around a pop-up camp each night—organizers plan to transport participants’ gear for them while they are riding, and will even erect personal tents for a small fee, with catered meals, a beer garden, live music and other entertainment. “We wanted to make something challenging, but attainable,” Sperry said. “Beyond just the ride, we want people to have energy to socialize and engage when they get to camp. It’s about the humanity of it.”
Breakaway promotions is also offering a $10,000 cash purse, which should entice top talent to the race, much the way Unbound Gravel lured retired pro racers Sven Nys, Jens Voigt and Ted King in 2018. Getting to line up side by side and spend nights around the campfire with such stars simply reinforces gravel’s democratic character. “Fast or not, we’re all out there together for the same reasons,” Sperry said. Yuri Hauswald, the 2015 winner of the Unbound Gravel is planning to ride the Oregon Trail, but not just for a chance at the winnings. According to Hauswald: “It’s like summer camp for adults.”
The Oregon Trail isn’t alone in its mellow approach. A new Colorado ride series called Roll Massif promises a collection of road and gravel events based around local communities throughout the state in 2019. The gravel rides will adhere to an enduro-style format, with a day of friendly group riding interspersed with a few short, timed segments for those who want to compete. “Folks want to get out there and have a physical challenge, but racing really isn’t the driver,” said Ben Delaney, head of communications for the events. “We want people to finish tired, but stoked.” Grinduro, which pioneered in 2015 the timed-segment-race in the midst of a weekend party at its Quincy, California, home locale, is this year expanding to four events worldwide (Canada, Scotland and Japan), as well as adding more manageable Grindurito categories for riders looking for a longer post-ride happy hour. And Rooted Vermont, a new event hosted by King and his wife, Laura, out of their hometown in Richmond this August, is promising two courses, one 45 miles and the other 85. The distances will allow everyone to enjoy the ride and a post-event gathering at mom-and-pop mountain Cochran’s Ski Area, featuring locally sourced food and IPAs. Absent from its billing—“Gravel Trails, Adventure, Community”—is any mention of racing.
“Whereas road cycling presents a series of hurdles to entry, gravel is warm and welcoming,” said King, who has become a bit of an acolyte for the cause since he quit the UCI Pro Tour, even winning the 2018 edition of Unbound Gravel. King said he appreciates the ease of entry and cooperative nature of gravel, two traits he hopes to bring to his event. “Rather than choking down a recovery drink, we’re racing for the celebratory beer.”
Registration for the inaugural Oregon Trail Gravel Grinder is open now. Half of the 500 slots are already accounted for, and Sperry expects the event to sell out.

.Your NCC is illegal, your antics will fail, says Sheriff
The Senator Ahmed Makarfi-led National Caretaker Committee (NCC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said on Wednesday that it never asked any of its members to defect to another party.
The NCC maintained that the PDP belongs to all members and would therefore not ask nor direct any member to defect, saying “PDP is our party”.
This was contained in a statement signed on Wednesday by the National Publicity Secretary of the NCC, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, and made available to journalists in Abuja.
The statement was in reaction to a newspaper (not The Daily Times) headline which claimed that members of the PDP have been asked by the NCC to defect to other parties ahead of the forthcoming local government elections in some states of the federation.
The Makarfi-led NCC thus enjoined its members to continue to demonstrate total commitment and loyalty to the party.
The statement by Adeyeye pointedly declared that there was no such directive from the National Caretaker Committee.
The NCC maintained that its statement was very clear and unambiguous which was to the effect that “we are in court and have absolute faith and confidence in the judiciary to dispense justice without fear or favour.
“Also that we are aware that PDP is been disenfranchised in some elections and that different states have adopted different approaches to the issue without prejudice to the substantive matter before the court.
“We state categorically that the National Caretaker Committee has never asked anyone to defect to another Party. PDP is our party.
“Our members are enjoined to continue to demonstrate total commitment and loyalty to the party”, it said.
But the court recognised National Chairman of the PDP, which reacted to the story credited to the Makarfi’s group earlier by the said newspaper (not The Daily Times), said that it has now become clear that having failed to convince members to follow them to their proposed new party, Makarfi and his co-travelers have resorted to using everything available to destroy our party.
Sheriff, in a statement by the acting National Publicity of the PDP, Hon. Bernard Mikko, said the new antic of the Makarfi’s group will also fail and “we assure all our aspirants that the end to impunity and imposition of candidates is insight”.
The statement by Mikko reads: “The attention of the National chairman of the PDP, Sen. Ali modu Sheriff and the National Working Committee have been drawn to a press release by one Mr. Adeyeye on behalf of Sen. Makarfi and the court declared illegal care taker committee that members desirous of contesting elections should look for alternative platforms.
“We Call on all loyal members to ignore this call and see them for what they are; destroyers of our much cherished party.
“We equally call on all members who are desirous of contesting elections to use our party; the PDP and be rest assured of level playing field guaranteed by internal party democracy.
“It is now clear that having failed to convince members to follow them to their proposed new party, Makarfi and his cootravellers have resorted to using everything available to destroy our party.
“This new antic will also fail and we assure all our aspirants that the end to impunity and imposition of candidates is insight”, it said.

Definition of Solid State Drive
Solid State Drives, which use flash memory instead of a hard-drive platter to store date.
Old computers had a habit of spitting files and spreading the parts all over your hard drives, but modern ones don't do this as much. Not even close, a bimonthly pass with a capable Defragger can help you maintain peak performance on a heavily used hard drive.Data transfer to and from solid-state drives is much faster than electromechanical disk drives. Seek time and latency are also substantially reduced. Users typically enjoy much faster boot times as well.
In general, SSDs are also more durable and much quieter, with no moving parts to break or spin up or down. SSDs do, however, have slower write times and a set life expectancy, as there is a finite number of erase/write cycles before performance becomes erratic.
Advantages of Solid State Drive:
1. Quick response and high read/write speed
3.Low power consumption and low heat.
4.None mechanical breakdown
5.Can work under wider range tempreture, 0~70ºC
6.Lighter, smaller and more portable.
7.Shockproof and drop resistance.
Our products'Competitive Advantage:
1)Original brand NAND Flash
2)Fast read/write speed, faster application load times
3)High reliability, data stability
4)Low energy consumption
5)Anti-shock, anti-dust, noiseless, superior security
6)Shockproof, rugged design safe and high stability and reliability

text: You see empty, abandoned, rundown houses and in contrast you see other thriving streets. I did a small collage because this is a Mexican neighborhood located very close to the border (about two miles). We live in the outskirts of Tijuana Mexico, we spend time between Mexico and the US since our cities are so entangled for Mexicans doing shopping and sightseeing and Americans doing business and visiting in Mexico. In one of the pictures you can see the Downtown San Diego skyline. We can see the lights and reflections of the Coronado bay bridge, most of Otay Mesa and Chula Vista communities and this stark contrast has its meaning because thousands of Mexicans and thousands of Americans call this place home, indistinctly. For two countries so disparaging this geographic region erases many contrasts. Although we make five times less on average than a minimum wage in the United States we keep working, we don't dream of going to the US and work and live there, we border citizens know much better than our countrymen living in central Mexico. We go and do our shopping, groceries, recreation and dining in San Diego and return to our much more affordable, albeit small, homes.

|This is the ALL-TIME, ULTIMATE website for Red Dog Poker and all you wanna know about it!!
Play Red DogSo! You wanna play red dog poker? That’s great, because this is the place to find out how! My name’s Dale, and I created this site for people just like you, who have heard about this great game, and want to play red dog poker, but just can’t find a good site that explains it well. Sure, there are lots of sites out there that mention red dog poker, but there aren’t any that I’ve found that are totally dedicated to information about the game, and instructions on how to play red dog.
If you’ve been at my site for a while already, you may have some idea about the game by now. Well, I can tell you that it’s a fast-paced, exciting, and easy game to learn. And to play red dog, you don’t need any special skills, like you might expect to, with the word poker in the name. The fact that it’s referred to as a type of poker is kind of unfortunate, because it’s really not a poker game at all. There are only two things that link it to poker in any way; you play with cards, and when you bet, it’s called a “Raise” or a “Call”. But the raise could just as easily be called a double, because that’s what happens when you decide to raise. By the way, my red dog strategy page has more info about how and when you should raise your bet. On the other hand, when you “Call”, you’re basically saying “Stand” like in Blackjack. You’re just letting your bet stand as it is, and you want the last card to be dealt.
OK. I hope you’re not getting too confused. I’m assuming that you already know about the basics of how to play red dog poker. If you don’t, just go to my red dog rules page, and get the groundwork on the game from there. Then you can come back and read this page some more.
Sometimes I think the game could have a better name. At least the word poker could be removed, but that’s what draws people to play red dog poker. Poker conjures up images of the Old West, Saloons, dancing girls, shootouts, tumbleweed, horses, … you get the picture. When you play red dog, you’ll probably be playing online these days, as it’s not such a popular game at the land-based casinos anymore. So if you’re sitting at home in front of your computer with your feet up, some good music on, etc, you might not get the whole Wild West imagery going on in your head. You’ll probably be too busy playing anyway.
You may have figured out by now that there’s not much to it when you play red dog poker. You bet, two cards are dealt, you call (stand) or raise (double), and the third card is dealt. You win or you lose. That’s really all there is to it.
I’m glad you decided to come to my site, and find out about what it’s like to play red dog poker, and how to win at it. I hope you enjoy browsing around, and be sure to take a look at my red dog info page, where you’ll find some other sites that will have great gambling and casino information, and also some great resources for your further study of the game of red dog poker.

Sade A Biographical Essay
Hearing the same request program pouring out of countless rooms and apartment on all sides but the effect is far from homey, on the contrary, it feels sinister and eerie. Pums office and in franz and linas walk down a busy street at night, fassbinder uses multiple planes of crisscrossed physically counterpointed action. This dualistic experience lies behind the layers of paradox that shape every aspect of the novel.
This site is available in several versions english or chinese interface, and traditional or simplified characters. Fassbinders interpretation of this persona is intriguing, not least for its completely deadpan approach to what set döblins narrator into one verbal frenzy after another. Reinhold, in prison, in love with konrad delirious franz and the angels terah and sarug the reaper death the old franz dies, the new franz karl is born.
However, döblin is more visionary, and even apocalyptic, than dos passos, reminding us of the american authors key inspiration, t. One reason that this feels like an unreal city (to borrow a tag line from ) is because in a film about a place called berlin alexanderplatz, we never actually see it (which is starkly different from döblin, who pointed up every nook, cranny and tattered newspaper). Fassbinder removed a few (presumably filmed) sections of scenes, as at the beginning of part 5, where the screenplays first several shots, of chit-chat at franzs local bar, are removed.
That eras obsession with death can be seen in the novels frequent invocation of the character the reaper. Fassbinder understand that the narrative is what holds everything together characters, emotion, visual and sound style, themes, and fassbinders ultimately staggering vision. Then, with a run, took a seat on the car.
In the novel, the narrator is the most vivid characters in fassbinder, its everyone, from franz, mieze and reinhold to peripheral characters like frau bast. Fassbinder, a shrewd producer in his own right, decided he could bring the picture in in just 156 days, which he did. I love you so and you want a child by him.
In terms of the plot, its function is crystal clear franz goes insane with grief over losing the one person he could love freely.

Jim's Reviews - Fassbinder's Berlin Alexanderplatz
We do not need to see the abraham and isaac near-sacrifice (as it appears in the script), when hearing it in vo (in the finished film) allows us to imagine it. These free poetry recordings were uploaded by internet archive users. Browse by school period, region, birthdate, and other criteria, or search by name poem. They offer emerging and established poets recognition at all stages of their careers. Includes such lists as mixed up heroines, classic couples, what book am i from, characters names, literary antagonists, and famous literary heroes and heroines, among others.
Alexanderplatz is constantly under construction (like franzs character, and even like döblins novel). It may come as a surprise that döblin, who had achieved considerable literary acclaim, was skeptical about the continuing relevance of the novel. This landmark of existential literature is in the form of elliptical ramblings, depicting modern city life (paris) through a narrator futilely trying to force his experiences into a traditional linear mold. Richard taubers rendition of composer franz lehrs 1934 operetta. Fassbinders narrator is, ironically, a dramatic contrast to the novels in his utter lack of drama.
Mieze, in both the novel and film, is so compelling because of her depth. Fassbinder pares away to the emotional core of döblins characters and he does so in a highly formal, effectively reductionistic way. But it all seems like frenzied busywork, rather than what döblin at his most utopian might call a collective building towards a better shared future. Separating fact from rumor can be even harder. To underscore this subtext, fassbinder flashes the same phrase that gave its title to the entire part 6 love has its price. The title is an apt summary of the full text, a paen to the joys of life (die herrliche welt! The wonderful world) and the hoped-for love of an enticing signora. That terse paragraph is immediately followed by a prosepoetic whirlwind, describing franzs first streetcar ride in years. Fassbinder put a then 22-year-old juliane lorenz in charge of editing his epic she had already cut his previous half-dozen films. As well see below, fassbinders 16-hour running time allows him fidelity to the full epic sweep of events and characters in döblin, and much more. Concurrently, the foundation has published a monumental containing fassbinders complete screenplay, hundreds of color stills, essays by fassbinder, critic susan that includes the fully restored film and a wealth of supplements, ranging from several documentaries to a book of essays.Review. Fassbinder's 15-1/2 hour epic drama Berlin Alexanderplatz is, in every way, a defining work of his artistry and life. It encapsulates, and expands upon, the themes and techniques that make his cinema unique.

That pivotal scene is a clear illustration of eve kosofsky sedgwicks 1985 literary study , in which she exposes how two males will use a shared woman to displace their forbidden sexual feelings for each other. Döblin encapsulates the subjects of both its title and subtitle, the alex and franz, showing the interconnections of the two, as well as their relationship to a much larger cultural matrix, ranging from classical and biblical literature (as noted above) to pop culture that was literally of the minute. On another axis, it radiates out to adaptations in other media, from döblins own radio version (that had to wait two decades for its premiere), to jutzis 1931 film and the fassbinder masterpiece, and it seems inevitable that a musical or operatic stage version waits somewhere in the wings Buy Online Sade A Biographical Essay
This chronological list, extending from his first picture to his last, is not exhaustive, but it indicates the pervasive influence of the book throughout his career, in ways both large and small plot and emotional dynamics similar to the novel, with a franz (played by fassbinder) sharing his prostitute girlfriend with the male criminal he may be in love with.

Both were the sons of physician fathers who left their families döblins when he was ten, fassbinders when he was five. In ihm schrie es entsetzt achtung, achtung, es geht los. A tellling difference between the two directors is how jutzi is content simply to show the caged bird and let the metaphor speak, or chirp, for itself, while fassbinder carefully frames other characters next to or through the cage, thereby increasing both its psychological weight and symbolic richness (this is an advance over his powerful use of the caged bird imagery in ).

The study found travellers around the world over are taking shorter and more frequent trips, motivated by the need to bond with family and loved ones—yet worries about the loss/theft of cash at their destination remain. Vietnamese travellers, in particular, are found to take the most shorts trips with 74 per cent of those being in four nights or less.
According to Sean Preston, Visa country manager for Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, as the Vietnamese economy grows and an increasing number of citizens join the ranks of the global middle and upper classes, more people are going to take an interest in traveling the world.
“This is reflected in the results of our survey, with people taking more trips and spending more, while technology is giving travellers the ability to take trip planning and booking into their own hands. We have also seen really positive developments in card usage, with Vietnamese travellers relying heavily on their credit and debit cards for booking hotels, flights, and activities before embarking on their trips,” said Preston.
As the desire to travel continues to grow, the GTI Study, a comprehensive study of travellers from 27 countries, found motivations to travel have blurred, with consumers citing a combination of “achievement” and “reward” as a key motivator.
Among the top 5 motivations, reward-based motivations include bonding with family and friends and to unplug, while achievement-based motivations include experiencing new cultures and visiting exotic destinations.
Six in ten travelers globally (63 per cent) describe themselves as wanting a combination of both throughout their travels, while seven in ten Vietnamese travellers (72 per cent) fall into this category.
The study also showed a range of positive trends amongst Vietnamese travellers. Some of the key findings from the Vietnam report include trips getting shorter while more trips are on an international basis, and travelers intend to pay more on their trips with frequent use of their bank and credit cards.
Accordingly, the average time spent abroad during the last trips is found to be four nights for Vietnamese travelers, much lower than the APAC average of seven nights. And on average, the local travelers are expected to take nearly five trips abroad in the next twp years or so, up from 3.5 trips overseas found in the past two years.
Most visited countries among the local vacationers, meanwhile, include Thailand, the Republic of Korea, Japan and Singapore, with the US emerging in the top five destinations.
On their next trip, the travelers expect to spend a median amount of $1,100 per trip—up from a median amount of $880 on their last trip.
With more cards to be used during their trips, 74 per cent of travellers employ credit or debit cards while booking their trips, and while at their destination, many do use cards, but the majority of travellers prefer to carry cash in foreign currency.

Bracing is used in the management Charcot-Marie-Tooth to support and hold a part of the body compromised by muscle weakness, muscular atrophy, sensory impairment. Bracing is also used to help correct skeletal deformity.
There are a variety of braces available for ankles, knees, feet, hands, and other areas affected by CMT. For CMT patients, bracing can help regain the ability to walk quickly and smoothly, and provide greater independence in everyday activities.
HNF has invited Mitchell Warner, CPO, of Ortho Rehab Designs Prosthetics and Orthotics, Inc., to join us at the Summit on the panel discussion Public Policy. Warner graduated from the New York University Post Graduate Medical School’s program in Orthotics and Prosthetics, and is American Board Certified in both prosthetics and orthotics.
Established in 1991, Ortho Rehab Designs is nationally recognized for the HELIOS® Orthotic System. The Helios® orthosis is a custom energy loading graphite composite brace. Easy to put on and take off, the unique design is an incremental improvement over existing bracing systems. It uses Triplanar control to correct and stabilize the joints of the foot and ankle.
Let’s hear more from Mitch:
HNF: Why did you choose your particular topic for the Summit?
It is a priority to get insurance carriers to pay for custom energy storing leg braces. These devices help restore balance, help correct deformities of the joints, and can lead to an increased walking speed.
HNF: How has CMT affected your life?
Working predominantly with CMT patients, it has led me to design innovations in leg bracing to help CMT Patients walk better and have greater balance.
HNF: What do you hope attendees take away from the Summit?
I hope attendees learn what custom made corrective leg bracing can provide as a medical treatment, to give a better quality of life, and to prevent further breakdown of the joints.
HNF: Anything else you’d like to share with the community?
These innovations that I have made for CMT patients to walk better has led me to design a leg brace for my own medical condition using new design applications.

Over the last two months, five people I know have gotten dogs. Two more applied for puppies that will be ready to bring home in August. Even my own mother and I have spent several isolated weekend afternoons on the phone, very seriously scouring the web for some iteration of a doodle that our family could adopt. We’ve even decided on names, despite the fact that we both know (but won't admit to each other) that we’ll never bring any single one of the adorable dogs home.
It’s not just my social circle that is keen on a new pet. According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the number of people wanting to foster a dog in L.A. and New York has doubled. It makes sense: during isolation, the days that were once spent in office buildings are now passing uninterrupted at home. Add to that how the future feels quite uncertain, and suddenly it’s clear that having a pet around to provide entertainment and extra affection is a good enough reason to actually follow through this time.
Veteran dog owners can attest that their dogs add positivity to an otherwise monotonous day. Vogue beauty editor Jenna Rennert has had her French Bulldog, Lola, make an appearance on many a Zoom meeting. When I asked Rennert whether her dog has helped her during this time of isolation, she responded quickly, "I could write a book... it goes without saying the last couple of months have been stressful and [Lola] is always there to help reduce my anxiety no matter the time of day." Madeline Fass, our Associate Market Editor, who is isolating at home with her family dog, agrees. "Nothing wrong with a little extra affection during these times!"
Whether you’ve just made a new puppy part of the family, or you’re getting to spend some more quality time at home with your dog, now is a good time to invest in some new dog accessories. From dog beds that will go with your decor, to aesthetically pleasing food and water bowls, to pretty leashes for all the walks you'll inevitably take together, here are the best dog accessories to buy now.

Objective: Vasoactive cardiovascular hormones such as the N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) are produced upon ventricular stretch and play a central role in neurohumoral pathways of the heart regulating cardiovascular remodeling and volume homeostasis. The impact of HIV infection on these neurohumoral pathways of the heart and its potential reversibility by combinations of antiretroviral therapies remain unclear.
Methods: We assessed serum levels of NT-proBNP in 219 antiretroviral therapy-naïve HIV-infected patients with a normal cardiac and renal status at treatment initiation and after attainment of viremic control.
Results: Before antiretroviral therapy, NT-proBNP as a surrogate of myocardial function displayed a significant correlation with absolute CD4 cell count (r = -0.31; P < 0.001) as well as with HIV viral load (r = 0.26; P < 0.001). The median levels of NT-proBNP were 80 pg/ml (36-205) in patients with a CD4 cell count less than 200 cells/μl and 42 pg/ml (20-80; P < 0.001) with a CD4 cell count more than 500 cells/μl. After viremic control, no statistical correlation was present.
Conclusion: Higher NT-proBNP levels were observed in treatment-naïve patients with low CD4 cell count and high HIV viral load, indicating a subclinical impact of HIV infection on myocardial function. This association is reversible by the initiation of antiretroviral therapy and subsequent viral suppression.

Acquisition and analysis of performance data for mobile devices
Luiro, Vesa (2003-10-18)
Electronic industry is developing advanced and versatile products to satisfy customers’ needs. It is also creating new needs, which expand the market further. This highly competitive field forces companies to produce continuously better, and hence more complex, products at an increasingly fast rate. This is particularly true of the mobile phone industry, which pursues higher volumes and penetration rates throughout the world. Very high volumes and extreme complexity require intensive research and a commitment to high product quality. Mobile phone manufacturers must commit themselves to strict quality standards and programs, which ultimately enable high customer satisfaction.
Both quality assessment and product management generally need a method of feedback to be able to react to the manufactured output. This thesis concentrates on this aspect of feedback. A preliminary customer survey revealed that the information received directly from customers might not be accurate enough to be used as primary feedback data. The quality of the information varies notably and depends entirely on the customers’ ability to perceive the relevant parameters. This also affects greatly their ability to communicate the information to the customer interface and then all the way back to the manufacturer. Based on the findings, end customers’ average level of knowledge of mobile phone technology is fair [C]. Therefore, it is recommended that more accurate means should be developed for acquiring feedback data. Also, based on other research findings, it would be important to minimize human intervention and to make the flow of information as direct as possible.
Based on previous research and the present findings, a concept was designed which satisfies the specific need for accurate feedback from the performance of mobile phones in the field. The interfaces providing data throughout the whole product life cycle were also analyzed in detail. And finally, the concept was implemented and piloted with a mobile phone manufacturer. The pilot studies showed that an improved feedback capability would benefit not only product quality, but also various functions of the company producing mobile devices. The increased knowledge of device performance obtained from the system can be utilized in, for example, testing, design, marketing, and management and also at all customer interfaces in the field.

CHEYENNE, Wyo.—A new poll released today by the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN), AARP, the American Heart Association and American Lung Association shows the majority of Wyoming voters support efforts to increase access to health care by expanding Medicaid.
Patients From Across the Country Visit Capitol Hill to Stop Senate Health Bill
Patients Share Personal Stories of Coverage Caps, Medicaid and Pre-Ex Conditions
Washington, D.C.— Sixty patients and consumers from across the country, each with their own personal health care story, gathered on Capitol Hill today to urge their senators to preserve quality health care access and coverage for millions of Americans. The event was organized by more than a dozen different patient and public interest groups, including the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN), American Diabetes Association, American Heart Association, American Lung Association, Consumers Union, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, urging senators to, “protect patients now.”
Patients expressed serious concerns over numerous provisions of the Senate health care bill, including eliminating the requirement that plans cover essential health benefits, increasing the amount older Americans can be charged for coverage, lowering premium tax credits and drastically cutting Medicaid funding.
A new nationwide survey commissioned by ACS CAN and released today, showed more than eight in ten (81 percent) Americans would oppose a health care bill if it includes deep cuts to Medicaid and 71 percent oppose moving to lump sum or per capita payments for the program when they find out increased funding would not be available to deal with the real-time needs of state residents.
Laurie Merges-Jett, an Ohio breast cancer survivor and mother of three, shared how Medicaid expansion saved her life. Just two months after being laid off from her job and enrolling in Medicaid, Merges-Jett noticed a hardening in her breast. She was diagnosed with Stage 3b breast cancer and was told that she would need treatment for at least 18 months. Her doctors urged her to suspend her job search until she was healthy again.
“No one should have to battle life-threatening diseases with the anxiety of losing or not having any health insurance,” said Merges-Jett. “We all deserve a chance to live, and my children deserve to have their mother beside them as they grow up.”
More than $800 billion in Medicaid cuts would likely leave patients like Merges-Jett and Lysa Buonanno, a stage IV lung cancer patient from Nevada who relied on Medicaid when she was diagnosed, uninsured and unable to get treatment.
“Not only was I worried about fighting the deadliest cancer in the U.S. but I was also faced with how I was going to pay for these treatments without insurance,” said Buonanno,. “No one should have to worry about affording healthcare when you are fighting each day just to live.”
Matt Slaby of Colorado has a blood clotting disorder. He worries if the Senate bill becomes law, he would be just one recurrence away from losing his house, business, savings and assets. Without a standard set of insurance benefits, as currently required, patients like Slaby could once again face lifetime or annual caps on their coverage.
“I think about it almost every day,” said Slaby. “Fortunately, my coverage through the Affordable Care Act has prevented this from happening and has ensured that I can continue contributing to society as a worker, an entrepreneur, a home-owner, and a human being."
The patients, representing millions across the country with chronic diseases, are meeting with senators and their staff throughout the day and will continue to follow-up when they are back at home. All of the patients stressed that having access to adequate, affordable health insurance is essential and called on their senators to reject the current Senate health proposal.

Alfred Anderson, 109, Last Man From 'Christmas Truce' of 1914, Dies
"Christmas Truce" of World War I.
Born June 25, 1896, he was an 18-year-old soldier in the Black Watch regiment when British and German troops cautiously emerged from the trenches that Christmas Day in 1914. The enemies swapped cigarettes and tunic buttons, sang carols and even played soccer amid the mud, barbed wire and shell holes of no man's land.
The informal truce spread along much of the 500-mile Western Front, in some cases lasting for days - alarming army commanders who feared fraternization would sap the troops' will to fight. The next year vast battles of attrition began, which claimed 10 million lives, and the Christmas truce was never repeated.
More than 80 years after the war, Mr. Anderson recalled the "eerie sound of silence" as shooting stopped and soldiers clambered from trenches to greet one another Dec. 25, 1914.

Venue: Lord Fanch Proudly Presents:
H2O, Everything Went Black, Dogfight, Perfect People
3108 Locust St.
St. Louis, MO, 63103
Doors 7:00 PM / Show 8:00 PM
This event is all ages
If you claim to be well versed in punk history, you would certainly know that H2O are one of New York's premiere melodic hardcore punk acts. For more than half a decade now, the NYC quintet have been blasting their specific blend of hardcore energy and pop-friendly melody all around the globe to fans of all kinds of music. H2O have found favor with everybody from the hardcore elite to the mainstream enthusiast. One main reason for this universal appeal is the band's attitude towards touring and playing live.
Performing an average of 200 shows a year, no one can accuse this hardened bunch of road warriors of not playing it to the bone. After performing with such varied acts as Pennywise, No Doubt, The Misfits and the band that gave them their first break, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, H2O have accumulated fans all over the world. Through it all, H2O pride themselves on keeping close ties to their fans. The band members answer all their mail personally and can usually be found hanging out in the crowd after their shows. H2O makes it a point to stay grounded. This closeness to their fans is what gives an H2O show its characteristic unified vibe.
Everything Went Black
Everything Went Black plays a concise, sophisticated brand of fast and heavy aggressive music drawing influence from the likes of the Hope Conspiracy, Black Flag and Entombed, while still maintaining a sound that is very much its own. Since the band's formation in the spring of 2009, it has self released an EP, a 7" on Hands Up! Records, a split with Louisville, KY hardcore outfit Rattletooth on St. Louis based label I Hate Punk Rock Records, and a full length on Lost Shepherd/Prosthetic Records, home of artists such as Skeletonwitch, Trap Them, and The Acacia Strain.
Everything Went Black have shared the stage with Converge, Have Heart, Black Breath and more. In 2012 Everything Went Black hit the road to support their full length Cycles Of Light. Playing festivals such as SXSW, The Rumble, and supporting metallic hardcore legends Ringworm on the way to and from Chaos In Tejas. Everything Went Black are currently working on their second full length due out in 2013.

|Part of the boylove history series|
Sporus was a young man who may have been a puer delicatus, whom the Roman Emperor Nero allegedly favored, had castrated, and married. The Roman historian Cassius Dio identifies Sporus as a freedman, a formerly enslaved person who had been released from slavery.
After Nero's death, Sporus was taken to the care of Nymphidius Sabinus, who was a Praetorian prefect. Nymphidius treated Sporus as a wife and called him "Poppaea". Nymphidius tried to make himself emperor but was killed by his own guardsmen.
Afterwards, Sporus became involved with Otho, the second of a rapid and violent succession of four emperors who vied for power during the chaos that followed Nero's death. (Otho had once been married to Poppaea, until Nero had forced their divorce.)
Following the death of Otho, His successor Vitellius intended to use Sporus as a victim in a public entertainment; a fatal "re-enactment" of the Rape of Proserpina at a gladiator show. Sporus avoided this public humiliation by committing suicide.

Pontes was accused of raping a tenant in his suite at Northwoods Inn, as well as touching her breasts in a back room of the motel earlier in the day on June 1, 2017.
A judge believed the allegation Pontes touched the woman’s breasts. He was found not guilty on the rape allegation.
He was also found not guilty of extortion.
The complainant alleged Pontes offered an exchange of accommodations and a job at the motel in return for sexual favours.
“It’s a very confusing thing there and I cannot make any comments because I don’t understand it,” Pontes said to reporters outside of court.
“Well I am not a lawyer dear. I’m just an old man OK? I’m just a simple little businessman.”
In his decision, judge Morris Baniak said he believed the complainant’s testimony of Pontes fondling her breasts, because it was both credible and reliable.
As for the alleged second sexual assault of rape, Baniak said the absence of evidence, such as medical reports, rape kit results, clothing, DNA evidence, and incriminating evidence found by police after searching Pontes’ suite, gave rise to reasonable doubt.
Sentencing has been set for Feb. 12, 2019.
Pontes will be on trial again the next day for other charges related to an alleged sexual assault against another woman.

California Living Museum (CALM) is a unique outdoor museum located in Bakersfield, California, serving as a living education center for nature conservation. Set against the backdrop of the beautiful Kern River basin, CALM is home to over 80 species of native California animals, many of which are endangered or threatened.
As a leading local conservation advocate, CALM is dedicated to providing the public with an immersive learning experience on the diversity of California's ecosystems and the importance of protecting them. CALM's mission is to inspire environmental stewardship in the community by creating an interactive environment that educates and encourages public participation in ecosystem conservation.
The California Living Museum, originally known as the California Zoo, opened its doors to the public in 1983 with a mission to educate the public about California's ecosystems. In 1988, the museum was renamed the Bakersfield Zoo, but its focus remained on providing an educational experience that showcased the diversity of California's flora and fauna.
In 1993, the Bakersfield Zoo was restructured and became CALM, with a renewed focus on education and conservation. Since then, the museum has continued to grow and evolve into a unique facility that combines a zoo, botanical garden, and natural history museum.
CALM's exhibits cover a vast range of California's ecosystems, including the Mojave Desert, the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the Central Valley, and the Pacific Ocean. Visitors are encouraged to explore the various habitats and observe the animals and plants that call them home.
Some of the most popular exhibits at CALM include the Desert Tortoise Habitat, the Bird of Prey Exhibit, the Forest Aviary, and the Reptile House. Visitors can also observe animals that are native to California, such as the California Gray Fox, the American Badger, and the Mountain Lion.
CALM's commitment to conservation extends beyond just educating the public. The museum is home to a breeding program for many endangered and threatened California species, including the California Condor and the San Joaquin Kit Fox.
CALM's staff also works extensively with other organizations to help conserve California's ecosystems. The museum has partnered with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and several other conservation organizations to protect endangered species, restore habitats, and educate the public about nature conservation.
According to Nathan Arnold, the Director of CALM, \"Our programs are designed to cultivate an appreciation for the natural world, inspiring visitors to take an active role in conservation efforts and preservation of wildlife habitat.\"
CALM is open all year round, with varying hours depending on the season. Admission prices for adults are $10, for children (ages 3-12) and seniors (age 65 and above) are $7, and children under 3 get in for free. CALM also offers group rates for schools and other organizations.
Visitors to CALM are encouraged to dress appropriately for the weather, wear comfortable walking shoes, and bring sunscreen and water. The museum also provides guided tours for groups of 10 or more, which should be scheduled in advance.
The California Living Museum is a unique attraction in Bakersfield that offers a fun and educational experience for all ages. With its commitment to conservation and the protection of California's ecosystems, CALM is more than just a zoo or a botanical garden - it is a living education center that inspires visitors to become stewards of the environment. If you are planning a visit to Bakersfield, California, be sure to put CALM on your itinerary.Bakersfield CA Fox Theater

Leading supplier of high-performance CNC routing, engraving and cutting solutions, AXYZ has recently developed a new helical rack and pinion drive system which is available as an option on all AXYZ Series machines.
These are designed to provide superior high speed performance and will deliver greater accuracy, smoother cutting and quieter running. They will also allow higher acceleration and feed rates to be used where appropriate, subject to the machine specification and local safety regulations.
The detail design of these drives ensures that at all times there are multiple gear teeth engaged rather than just the one as is the case on a conventional rack and pinion system. This means that wear is greatly reduced and the life of the system is increased as a result of distributing the load over several gear teeth.
When specified as an option on an AXYZ Series machine the helical pinions would normally be driven by a high performance servo motor through a precision planetary gearbox. The result is a very rigid and powerful drive system with virtually zero backlash and suitable for use in all high precision and demanding applications.

According to a new survey conducted by More magazine, only a quarter of women ages 35-60 are working toward their next promotion, and more than two in five (43 percent) said they’re less ambitious than they were a decade ago.
More editor in chief Lesley Jane Seymour told USA TODAY’s Anita Bruzzese that she hoped the survey is a reflection of the stressful economic climate and not a permanent trend. “We’re bemoaning the lack of women in top Fortune 500 companies or women in political office,” she told Bruzzese.
Yet some women seem to be making the change permanent. Tiffany Willis, sick of working 70-hour weeks, gave up her well-paying corporat. work to be a freelancer with a much smaller paycheck. “I have been referred by people for other (management) positions, and I tell them no amount of money is worth it. I don’t care if they offered me a million dollars…. I had what I called my ‘heart-attack jobs,’ and I strongly believe they took years off my life,” she said.


If you are a smoker, then you probably already know how cigarette smoke can get into your furniture, your carpeting and even the upholstery of your car. If you are tired of dealing with the residual smell and have never tried an advanced air conditioner (AC) furnace air filter, you may be missing out on a game-changer. In addition, air filters can help reduce wildfire smoke a swell. In fact, there are some HVAC furnace air filters that were designed specifically to trap odors like cigarette and wildfire smoke.
Benefits of an AC Furnace Air Filters for Smokers
Smoking indoors doesn’t have to inconvenience you or anyone else you live with. Modern air conditioner furnace air filters are very technologically advanced and can be a huge benefit to your household. Here are just a few of the reasons why you should use one if you are a smoker or have issues with wildfire smoke:
- Improves recycled air quality in your home
- They can eliminate offensive smoke odor
- Makes your indoor air generally healthier
- They can keep larger particles from reaching your furnace blower and causing unnecessary wear
What to Look For in an HVAC Air Filter
Electrostatic filters are very good at drawing particles to them. This is especially handy if you tend to keep your windows closed. This feature also helps even when your furnace isn’t running. It will help attract and trap smoke odor even in static air.
FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions
Do furnace filters remove smoke?
Home air filters with activated carbon will remove smoke particles that cause smoke odor.
What type of air filter is best for HVAC?
Filtrete has been a trusted name in home air filters for many years because they don’t cause your HVAC system to work too hard but are still effective at eliminating smoke odor and smoke residue.
How do I stop smoke coming through my vents?
The best way to prevent second-hand smoke from getting into your vents in the first place is by placing a fan in your window sill and facing it towards the source of the smoke. Failing that, an air filter like the ones listed above, is the best way to safeguard your home from harmful smoke residue and second-hand smoke.
Of course, the best way to eliminate smoke odor is to quit smoking altogether. But if that is not an option for you or you live in an area with wildfire smoke, then you should definitely try an activated carbon air conditioner HVAC Furnace air filter.

Australian and EU committed to low carbon future
THE HON GREG COMBET AM MP Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency
GC 262/11 5 September 2011
AUSTRALIA AND EU COMMITTED TO LOW CARBON FUTURE
The Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, Greg Combet, today met with his European counterpart to discuss developments in the global carbon market.
European Climate Commissioner Ms Connie Hedegaard is in Australia for a range of meetings on climate change, following the Australian Government’s recent release of draft legislation to introduce a price on carbon from 1 July 2012.
“Europe has been a pioneer in global efforts to price carbon since the European Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) commenced six years ago,” Mr Combet said. “The Gillard Government’s commitment to price carbon will see us follow the lead of 32 countries which already have national emissions trading schemes,” he said.
“In addition to all European countries, Australia's top six trading partners — China, Japan, the United States, Republic of Korea, the United Kingdom, and India — have implemented or are piloting emissions trading schemes, carbon taxes or coal taxes at the national, state or city level.”
Ms Hedegaard highlighted the expansion of the global carbon market in recent years. It has grown from about US $11bn in 2005 to $142bn in 2010.
“Given our experience in Europe we know that carbon markets provide an effective, least-cost way of reducing emissions. Greenhouse gas emissions from big emitters covered by the EU ETS have fallen by an average of more than 8 per cent since the start of the system in 2005,” Ms Hedegaard said.
“Our ETS has led our most forward thinking industries to some very creative and innovative ways of working that help reduce emissions and cut costs. This creativity is also developing the skills and experience in the industries of the future,” she said.
“We look forward to Australia embarking on the same route and making a robust carbon market the core of its policy response to the climate challenge.”
''Australia's commitment to pricing carbon emissions and introducing a domestic cap-and-trade scheme from July 2015 is a significant step forward for international action against climate change. We are happy to share the extensive experience we have gained with Europe's own emissions trading system, which is helping to cut our emissions at least cost.''

BET: America In Black
New York City, Atlanta, DC
America In Black is a news coverage program from BET + CBS that aims to feature stories that are meaningful and representative of the Black community. To help generate awareness around the series, we designed a newspaper with featured topics from the shows, curated by BET. The newspapers were handed out by turn-of-the-century-style newsies that we styled and dressed, in Brooklyn, Harlem, and the Paramount building in Times Square. Across the three locations, we handed out 1000 newspapers and got coverage on CBS New York.
With the success of the first iteration, we built on this stunt by bringing the newsies to Piedmont Park in Atlanta and outside of the National African American Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC.
