Gaza rig to supply natural gas to Israel
In the face of continuing conflict with the Palestinians, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has given preliminary approval to purchase natural gas struck 35 kilometers offshore Gaza Strip, according to the London-based International Oil Daily. The field's total reserves are estimated at about 40 billion cubic meters.
The natural gas field was discovered in 1999 by the British Gas Group (BG) and its partner, the Athens-based Arab-owned Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC), which holds a 10 percent stake in the venture. BG has paid Yasser Arafat's Palestinian Authority (PA) $40 million for the exploration and drilling concession of the Marine 1 site.
BG, which has already paid the Palestinian Authority for the concession, is now seeking to finalize sales agreements in Israel and Gaza, but it was not clear if any of the proceeds from Israel will return to the PA. "Gaza's needs are tiny and most of the gas is likely to go to Israel," it added, as only Israel has the right infrastructure to absorb all commercially viable gas.
The gas bound to Gaza will fuel a small 135-megawatt power plant under commissioning with the help of BG and CCC, said the newsletter. IOD said Israel has "ironically" turned to Gaza's gas as talks with the Egyptian-Israeli consortium EMG were frozen because of the Israeli-Palestinian crisis. Israel last year selected EMG to supply it with 1.7 billion cubic meters (60 billion cubic feet) per year of Egyptian gas.
In the Mediterranean Basin, BG Group is also involved in exploration, production and natural gas market development in Egypt, Tunisia, Italy and Israel. Under the 1995 Oslo II and Paris economic agreements, Israel and the PA have agreed to cooperate on oil and gas exploration And advance joint operations offshore Gaza. — (menareport.com)

Like so many other fantasy readers, I have spent countless hours wishing I could cross the line between reality and fiction — that is, until I entered the chilling world of Melissa Albert's new young adult novel and realized that not all fairy tales are about cute talking animals, true love's kiss, and happy endings. In fact, some — like the ones in the pages of The Hazel Wood, out now from Flatiron Books — are so disturbing, they'll send you screaming for your life. If this year's buzziest book isn't on your TBR list yet, these breathtaking quotes from The Hazel Wood will make you want to read it ASAP.
Once upon a time, 17-year-old Alice Proserpine lived her life on the open road alongside her beloved mother, Ella. It seemed no matter where the pair went — a trailer in Tacoma, a storefront theater in Chicago, a guest house in Los Angeles — bad luck followed them everywhere. That is, until the day Ella receives a letter informing her that her mother, Althea Proserpine, the author of a slim collection of dark fairy tales with a cult-like following, has died, and she declares them finally free. But when Ella is abducted by a mysterious man who claims to be from Hinterland, the same world of Althea's fairy tales, it becomes increasingly clear to Alice that their bad luck has only just begun.
To get Ella back, Alice is convinced she must find the one place her mother made her promise never to go: The Hazel Wood, her grandmother Althea's mysterious estate. With the help of her classmate and Hinterland superfan Ellery Finch, who may have ulterior motives of his own, Alice begins to uncover the secrets of her family's past, secrets that lead her straight to the menacing world of Hinterland.
Perfect for fans of the film Pan's Labyrinth, Lev Grossman's Magicians trilogy, and Kelly Link's short stories, The Hazel Wood is a bewitching fantasy for readers who aren't afraid of the sinister side of fairy tales. It is a truly alluring tale that reveals the danger, darkness, and death hiding behind every "Once upon a time," but it is author Melissa Albert's dreamlike prose that will have readers under her spell. Rich and lyrical, each line draws you further and further into the devastating world of Hinterland.
Here's a taste of 11 of the best ones:
"My mother was raised on fairy tales, but I was raised on highways. My first memory is the smell of hot pavement and the sky through the sunroof, whipping by in a river of blue. My mom tells me that’s impossible—our car doesn’t have a sunroof. But I can still close my eyes and see it, so I’m holding on to it."
"It was that last one that got us into trouble — Ella's dream of a normal life for me, one with a future. Because if you've spent your whole life running, how do you learn to stand still? How do you figure out the right way to turn your straw house into brick?"
“There are no lessons in it. There's just this harsh, horrible world touched with beautiful magic, where sh*tty things happen. And they don't happen for a reason, or in threes, or in a way that looks like justice. They're set in a place that has no rules and doesn't want any. And the author's voice — your grandmother's voice — is perfectly pitiless. She's like a war reporter who doesn't give a f*ck.”
“Look until the leaves turn red, sew the worlds up with thread. If your journey's left undone, fear the rising of the sun.”
"She turned around. There was the scent in the air of cold lilacs, a late freeze on an early bloom. It was the smell of her mother's perfume. The black-eyed princess felt her parents' distant castle like the pulsing heartbeat of an animal she wanted to kill. She set her path back toward it."
"Staying in motion was as much part of who we were as my mom's sharp laugh, my angry streak. Our bad luck days that abated with every move, then slipped back in like red dirt on our shoes."
"At the moment she let go of her last breath, the white light shuddered and went green. The green of infected wounds, of nightmares, of the rind of old that crawled over week-old bread. The cotton scent turned dusty and stuck in Anya's throat."
"Her black-and-white hair shivered with red. Her skin turned from pale to peach, her lips curled, even her scar plumped up into unmarked skin. But the expression on her face was worse than anything. It was a kind of.... selfish ecstasy."
"My love he wooed me / My love he slew me / My love he buried my bones / His love he married / His love I buried / My love now wanders alone."
“Everyone is supposed to be a combination of nature and nurture, their true selves shaped by years of friends and fights and parents and dreams and things you did too young and things you overheard that you shouldn’t have and secrets you kept or couldn’t and regrets and victories and quiet prides, all the packed-together detritus that becomes what you call your life.”
"Hers was the kind of liquid loveliness that held a secret: you look at it again and again, trying to catch it. That quirked brow, the lip with a nick in it, like maybe she'd fallen off her roller skates as a girl."

Dairy farming is an important source of subsidiary income to small/marginal farmers and agricultural labors. The manure from animals provides a good source of organic matter for improving soil fertility and crop yields. The gober gas from the dung is used as fuel for domestic purposes as also for running engines for drawing water from well. The surplus fodder and agricultural by-products are gainfully utilized for feeding the animals. Almost all draught power for farm operations and transportation is supplied by bullocks. Since agriculture is mostly seasonal, there is a possibility of finding employment throughout the year for many persons through dairy farming. OMICS Group International is one of the leading Open Access Publishers which is publishing 700+ peer-reviewed journals with the dramatic effort of editorial board members.

How Long Does It Take To Change Brakes Rotors And Calipers. 30 gradual stops from 30 mph with 30 seconds in between each stop for the brakes to cool. Replace your brakes and rotors in the same amount of time it takes to drive to the auto shop.
Imagine you’re driving down the road and come across a red light. The lifetime of your brake calipers also depends on: When it’s time to replace the brake pads, rotors, discs, or calipers, mechanics often hear questions such as, “how long do brakes last?
As You Can See There Is A Lot To Be Done On A Proper Brake Job.
Once you remove the lug nuts, grab both sides of the tire and carefully pull it straight off of the bolts holding it in place to expose the brake assembly. On modern vehicles, it's not uncommon for calipers to last at least 100,000 miles or 10 years. How does it take to do a complete brake job?
Technician A Inspects The Car And Gives A Quote For Replacing Brake Pads, Servicing The Calipers And Machining The Rotors;
When it’s time to replace the brake pads, rotors, discs, or calipers, mechanics often hear questions such as, “how long do brakes last? Due to the fact that various components that make up the brake system are subject to wear and tear, they will need to be replaced. Imagine you’re driving down the road and come across a red light.
The Brake Pads Are Located Inside The Brake Calipers, Which Fit Right Over The Rotors.
Use a tire iron or a ratchet to loosen the lug nuts holding the wheel in place. The brake water boils at about 220 degrees fahrenheit, which means that the water boils in the caliper, too, turning to steam and water, and back to steam again as they are being used. Can i change brake pads myself?
You Hit The Brakes To Come To A Halt, And You Feel A Tight Vibration On The Brake Pedal And The Steering Wheel.
If you have to replace calipers, add about half an hour for bleeding the brakes. But exactly how long does it take to replace brakes and rotors? However, this isn’t an exact estimate for every vehicle.
If Additional Repairs Are Required Then The Labour.
We found the average brake caliper replacement job can take anywhere between 1 to 3 hours per brake caliper. Your brake calipers should be replaced anytime your car has over 70,000 to 90,000 miles. Although brake calipers will last longer than your brake pads typically, they are not meant to last forever, and they will need to be serviced or replaced at some point in time.

Men’s Health Week calls for health and social services tailored to men
As men in Australia contend with low life expectancy and high rates of suicide, the organisers of Men's Health Week (opens in a new window) at Western Sydney University have called for a renewed focus on the social networks that support physical and mental health.
Politicians and health professionals gathered at Parliament House in Canberra today for the launch of Men's Health Week by His Excellency General the Honourable Sir Peter Cosgrove AK MC (Retd), Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia.
In Australia, a baby girl born in 2010 can expect to live to 82 years old, yet a baby boy born at the same time only has a life expectancy of 78 years.
The majority of male deaths are attributed to accidents, cancer and heart disease. In addition, men take their own lives at four times the rate of women, with six Australian men losing their lives to suicide every day.
Professor John Macdonald, Director of the Men's Health Information Resource Centre (MHIRC) at Western Sydney University, says men's health is not just determined by male-specific illnesses such as prostate cancer.
"Rather than focusing solely on medical interventions when men get sick, we must address the social factors that contribute to the high rate of illness and death among Australian men. Prevention is always preferable than finding a cure," says Professor Macdonald.
"A major issue for many men is that their social networks are not as extensive as those of their female peers, meaning they can go without the informal advice, support and counselling provided by those networks.
"To help address this, we are calling for more 'male friendly' health services to help support the men in our lives, especially those that are retired. Too many men in Australia are isolated, and we need to reach out to them with services tailored to their needs."
Professor Macdonald says the Mount Druitt Men's Shed, a partnership between the MHRIC, Western Sydney University and local service providers, is a good example of a flexible drop-in centre designed with the clients in mind.
"Run by Aboriginal men and supported by elders, the Mount Druitt Men's Shed is an informal medical, legal and social service centre for locals who may lack the means and inclination to seek help in a formal setting," says Professor Macdonald.
"By providing access to service providers in a friendly, non-judgemental setting, we can help encourage people in need to seek help before they arrive at a crisis."
Men's Health Week is the perfect opportunity for men in Australia to sit down with their workmates and friends and have a chat about life. Hundreds of local events, from barbeques to special sporting matches, will be held from June 12 – 18.
This year's theme, Healthy Body, Healthy Mind: Keeping the Balance, is encouraging men across Australia are being urged to take the time to enjoy the things in life that make them happy.

Actor Charlie Carver has received the Gay, Lesbian And Straight Education Network (GLSEN) Game Changer Award in recognition of the impact he’s had on creating a safe and inclusive environment for LGBTIQ youth, Variety reports.
The actor who came out via Instagram in 2016 used his acceptance speech posted on www.glsen.org to speak of his desire to do something to address the feeling of shame LGBTIQ youth can feel.
“I always knew I wanted to do something with my life that might help young people in their relationship to shame,” Carver said.
“I didn’t want spectacle. I just wanted to reveal this part of myself in a kind of way I wish I’d been able to share all those years ago in school as a simple wonderful fact of who I was. It was my hope that by writing this post and sharing why I’d arrived at the decision to come out professionally that some young person out there could feel the change that I felt was coming and had been coming and would be coming—the change we all hope for and work for and wait for in our lives as LGBTQ folks,” Carver said.
Carver, who is starring alongside his brother in the upcoming The Batman film also spoke of his school years where he felt unsafe despite having a supportive family.
“There was just this abiding sense that school wasn’t safe or more than anything, if I let my guard down and if I fully relaxed into a state of belonging that something swift and terrible would come and find me,” he said. “And I recognize now that that thing I was so afraid of, the thing I was sort of running from and trying to manage, was my own shame,” Carver said.
He went on to say, “LGBTQ kids really suffer from the shaming they interject on the internet, often at school and sadly sometimes at home and it affects them for the rest of their lives. But I believe LGBTQ people are resilient and in some ways particularly special. I think we seem inherently capable at thinking compassionately, acting courageously, working creatively and living in community. But those qualities, those essential qualities can really only emerge in an affirmative, safe and encouraging environment.”
The usual gala ball was not held this year due to the coronavirus so instead several of Carver’s co-stars from Netflix’s The Boys In The Band virtually presented him with the award.
“Throughout his entire career, Charlie Carver has used his platform to galvanise the LGBTQ community, especially the next generation,” Andrew Rannells said.
The Batman also stars Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne / Batman, with Zoë Kravitz, John Turturro, Peter Sarsgaard, Andy Serkis and Colin Farrell.

7 Letters came into being in December 2018 perhaps by accident. In the fall of 2018, Gina attended a stained-glass session hosted by her now business partner, Casey Clark. At the time, Casey is the owner and operator of Off the Wall Arts, an art studio in Charleroi, PA that holds “paint & sip” events, teaches pottery, hosts kids summer art camps and much more.
Casey had brought in an instructor to teach the 5-week class. Gina quickly discovered that her favorite part of the doing stained glass, is cutting the glass. She says that the pleasure you get from that perfect cut is quite satisfying. That when you get the right cut, you can hear it, and then the glass snaps so effortlessly.
One evening after class, Gina was in in the studio and started just cutting random pieces of glass. There was a lot of leftover glass. At that moment, Gina realized what a stress reliver it was and how it calmed her after a stressful day of work. After she had cut around two dozen of random shapes she thought surely there is something that she could make from these remnant pieces.
Casey agreed, and they knew they were onto something. All the leftover glass, that otherwise would be go to the recycling bin, could be made into art. Casey picked up one of the pieces and looked it over and said, ‘this would make a great necklace.” They then took a few of the cut pieces and developed a process that took a rough cut to a finished product. They hand-cut the glass, then grind the pieces until smooth. After that, they wrap and solder, then polish to complete the necklace components.
After this night, they began to do “pop-up” events at several locations around the area. From there, they distributed their wares in stores. You can now find 7 Letters necklaces in Vintage & Vines in Belle Vernon, Chaney’s Natural in Monongahela, and Travelintrader in Cecil Township.
They have since gone beyond necklaces and have done a ton of orders for many holidays. They have done hearts for Valentine’s day, eggs and crosses as sun catchers for Easter, and shamrock designs for St. Patrick’s Day. Also added to the mix have been bumblebees, dragonflies, sunflowers, and seashells. If you don’t see something you like, you can even place a custom order for their magnificent products. Their beautiful, one-of-a-kind creations are sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face.
To find out more, make a purchase, or place a custom order, connect with 7 Letters on Facebook. Send Gina a message and she would be more than pleased to snap some glass for you at the end of a long stressful day.

What is the best month to plant tulip bulbs?
Tulip bulbs should be planted in the fall. The soil needs to have cooled off from the summer growing season before you plant, which could mean September in cold climates (zones 3 to 5), October in transitional climates (zones 6 to 7), and November or December in warm climates (zones 8 to 9).
Can you grow tulips in Mississippi?
We can grow tulips as pretty as anywhere in the world. When they are finished, simply dispose of them. Yellow tulips provide a colorful contrast with purple pansies. Red tulips tower over other plantings in this garden setting.
Can I plant tulip bulbs now?
After the first frost or snow storm, you might assume that your bulb – planting days are over. But as long as the ground is workable, you can plant bulbs! This means that you can plant bulbs as late as January – if you can dig a hole deep enough to plant. Plant tulips and daffodils as late as the end of January!
What month do you plant bulbs?
Spring-blooming bulbs, such as tulips and daffodils, should be planted in September or October when the soil temperatures have cooled. Summer-blooming beauties such as dahlia and gladiolus are best planted in the spring after all danger of frost has passed.
What happens if you plant bulbs in the spring?
Waiting until spring to plant the bulbs will not satisfy these requirements, so spring -planted bulbs will likely not bloom this year. The bulbs likely won’t bloom this spring, but they may bloom later in the summer, out of their normal sequence, or they may just wait until next year to bloom at the normal time.
What happens if you plant tulips in the spring?
Tulips Need Cold to Grow When planting tulips in the spring, the warm soil may not allow the bulbs to break out of their dormant state and grow. For spring bulb blooms, you have to start in late winter for outdoor planting or indoors for transferring to warmer soil.
What months do tulips bloom?
Bloom times will depend on your location and the weather but, as a rule, early tulips will bloom from March to April and mid- season types will extend the blooming period later into spring. If the weather is cool, tulips may last 1-2 weeks.
Do tulips come back every year?
The tulip as duly noted in horticultural texts is a perennial flower. This means that a tulip should be expected to return and bloom year after year. But for all intents and purposes this isn’t always the case. Most tulip-lovers content themselves with treating it as an annual, re-planting again each fall.
How deep do you plant tulips?
How to Plant Tulips
- Plant bulbs fairly deep —6 to 8 inches deep, or about three times the height of the bulb.
- Set the bulb in the hole with the pointy end up.
- Water bulbs right after planting.
- If you ‘re planning to raise perennial tulips, feed them a balanced fertilizer when you plant them in the fall.
What happens if you plant bulbs late?
Planted later in the year daffodil bulbs will almost certainly bloom later, and some may come up ‘blind’, flowering the following season. Small, weakened bulbs will clump-up more slowly, although they should eventually recover.
Should you soak bulbs before planting?
Soak fall- planted bulbs for 12 hours in warm water before planting. Soaking allows suitable bulbs to absorb enough water to begin growth immediately, saving two or three weeks of time. This is particularly helpful in northern climates, where early-arriving winter weather limits leisurely rooting.
Do tulips multiply?
Species tulips not only return year after year, but they multiply and form clumps that grow bigger each year, a process called naturalizing.
What bulbs should I plant now?
Top 10 Summer Flowering Bulbs to Plant in Spring
- How to grow summer-flowering bulbs. You don’t have to be an expert to enjoy summer-flowering bulbs.
- The best summer-flowering bulbs. If you feel inspired plant summer-flowering bulbs, here’s our pick of the 10 best to plant this spring:
- Calla Lilies (Zantedeschia)
Can you leave bulbs in the ground all year?
Bulb After-Care Most bulbs can be left underground all year or stored inside after they’ve bloomed. To keep long-stem tulips and hyacinths hardy, lift up the larger bulbs and replant them the following fall. (If left in the ground, they’ll typically get smaller each year.)
Can you leave bulbs in pots over winter?
As winter approaches it’s perfectly fine to dump your bulbs out of their pots and compost them, just as you would fuchsias, tomatoes, or any other plants that aren’t hardy in your zone. If you want to, though, it’s easy to store most spring-planted bulbs indoors during the winter.

This week is Deaf Dog Awareness Week. As dogs start getting older, signs of their age tend to begin to show. One thing that a lot of dogs will face in their lifetime is a loss of hearing. Most owners who have hearing dogs don’t fully realize that a good amount of their dogs will have hearing loss at some point in their lifetime. It’s best to prepare yourself and your dog in case anything were to happen to your dogs hearing.
Practice Hand Signals with your Pup
As your dog gets older it is best to start incorporating basic hand signals for common commands. Sit, down and come would be good commands to have hand signals for. As your dog begins to age, adding a hand signal in addition to the words would assure that if your dogs hearing did start to go, you would still have basic commands to use.
It can sometimes be difficult to realize your dogs hearing is going until it is almost gone, but remember to have patience with your pooch. You undoubtedly will have to teach your dog some new things in order to get their attention, for example since a recall is such a verbal command, a flashlight can be used during a recall with a deaf dog. Don’t lose your cool if you get frustrated easily; remember that your dog is going through a huge change as well.
Always Make your Presence Known
Your pooch will no longer be able to hear you when you enter the room, so it is important to make your presence known so you don’t startle them. A tap on their back or flicking on and off the light switch is a great way to let your dog know you have entered the room.
Reward your Dog with Food and Physical Affection
Since deaf dogs can’t hear you, it’s important to reward them with food and physical affection. When learning their new commands use food instead of verbal praise, this way your dog is actually being rewarded for what they are doing. As you continue through your training a nice belly rub or a rub behind the ears will do nicely for your pooch.
For dogs that live long lives, deafness can be inevitable for some of them. If you are prepared for it to happen, it can make the transition easier for you and your pooch. Be patient with your dog and remember that there are so many great resources out there if your dog is deaf, a trainer will be able to customize your training for your deaf dog. There are also many great internet sites and support groups, like DeafDogsRock.com, which is a great community of owners with deaf dogs, that provides great information about living with a deaf dog.

Narration: Lauren Ward
The reason that we as humans care about climate change
is that it affects not just the temperature,
but a whole bunch of other things that we care about.
It affects soil moisture,
which in turn affects our ability to grow the things that we eat.
It affects cloud cover.
It affects rainfall patterns.
It increases drought risk in some regions and decreases it in other regions.
Understanding our changing climate on a planet with incredibly complex
and interconnected systems is a massive scientific undertaking.
And climate scientists like Kate Marvel are using the data collected
by satellites from around the world to improve the power of climate models.
If we want to make better decisions about
where we live, understand the changing impacts of hurricanes
or improved predictions of fire seasons, we need evolving climate models.
We don't have any observations from the year 2050, from the year 2100,
but we can use our best knowledge of physics and chemistry
and how the Earth system works in order to look at the impact
of different emissions trajectories, different policy scenarios.
Climate models provide a view into our future from our globe
to our own communities.
As models advance, as they're tasked with predicting the nature of the weather
and the clouds over smaller and smaller scales,
they're being asked tougher questions like, Well,
what kind of clouds are happening over those small scales and how often
and how heavily are they raining?
We expect roughly on really, really large scales
climate change is making wet regions wetter and dry regions drier.
But at the same time, it's shifting the circulation of the atmosphere.
So the locations on a very,
very large scale of those wet and dry regions are changing.
Climate models are composed of lots of different calculations on the
different behaviors of our atmosphere, our land and our oceans.
To accurately represent the natural world they need massive amounts
of satellite data over decades from NASA's Earth observation
fleet and its partners around the world.
Satellites like the Global Precipitation Measurement Mission
provide valuable rainfall data
on daily to seasonal timescales for the past 20 years.
And it's that information, along with a suite of other
data that go into climate model development.
Currently, the GPM microwave imager radiance data are used to generate
initial states of NASA climate models and to guide climate model
solutions to be close to real states by applying data assimilation techniques.
Data assimilation is the process of combining many different sources of
Earth observations into models to improve how we represent the Earth system.
Assimilating GPM microwave imager data
improved intensity and locations of storms
and precipitation calculated by the climate models.
And once a climate model is developed, it's tested over and over because, well...
All models are wrong,
but some models are useful, so they're always going to be incomplete.
They're always going to be a not exact representation of the real world.
But we want to make sure that they are capturing important aspects of the Earth
so that we can treat them as credible going forward.
Typically, what happens is when you modify one part of the climate model,
other parts accidentally change.
It's kind of like the Whack-A-Mole game.
By hitting it down, we're improving it, we're killing the error, we're decreasing
the problem existing in a model, but another area pops up.
And that is why NASA observations of the Earth from space, the air and
the ground are critical to understanding how our Earth system works.
Observations help improve the modeling for our future here on Earth,
with new capabilities to expand our knowledge.
NASA is launching satellites and coordinating missions, like GPM,
giving us that long term, really accurate satellite record of what's been going
on, not just the temperature rising, but of various aspects
of the climate changing.
So precipitation and cloud cover and soil moisture,
and a whole bunch of different climate variables that people care about.
Continuing key observations of the Earth is really important
to see how our atmosphere, land and oceans are changing over time.
A long term record, combined with cutting edge observations
from the new NASA Earth System Observatory, will continue
to push boundaries to better understand our ever changing Earth.

With Rage Against the Machine disbanded, System of a Down ascend to the political aggro-rock throne, and with Steal This Album, the Los Angeles-based quartet prove themselves worthy to wear the crown. A play on the late activist Abbie Hoffmans Steal This Book, the album consists of 16 System songs from the mid-1990s through 2001. The band stresses the songs are not "B-sides or outtakes"; in fact, they clearly show System at their apex. These smart, varied songs feature Serj's frenetic, staccato, Jello Biafra-like phrasing atop the band's edgy, commanding, metal-meets-punk base. From the funny, frantic "Chic 'N' Stu," to "F**k the System," "A.D.D. (American Dream Disorder)," and "Boom!" System keep listeners guessing with discomfiting time changes that match up with Serj's incendiary lyrics. In keeping with their creative, fan-oriented approach, System are releasing four limited runs of the CD, each version featuring artwork from a different band member. This is not escapist rock. It's an intense and eye-opening aural history lesson you can mosh to. --Katherine Turman

A.D.D.- 9/10 I love this song!!!! it has a very true meaning. It stands for American Dream Denial. It is somewhat sad.
Mr. Jack- 10000000000/10 THIS SONG IS SO COOL! This is my favorite SOAD song of all time. I like the riff that goes throughout the whole song but gradually gets faster. It is a complaint against police. Too much swearing at the end.
I-E-A-I-A-I-O- 7/10- Funny song with very fast-paced singing. There is one line about Jimmy Carter and fighter pilots. I bet Serj was high when he wrote this.
36- 3/10 Filler. Has a weird nursery rhyme feel to it...
Pictures- 2/10 This is the only problem here. I really dont like this, Serj put no thought into it when it was wrote! At least the rest are better than this.
Highway Song- 7/10 Blends into Pictures really well. I thought it was still pictures the first time i heard it! other than that, no comment.
F*ck The System- 8/10 Another anti-war song. Full of swears, very unpredictable.
Ego Brain- 10/10 Very well put together. This is the kind of System i like. I love the acoustic part at the beginning.
Thetawaves- 7/10 No comment.
Roulette- 1/10 A different side of SOAD, not one i like. Sorry, Serj!
Streamline- 8/10 A very strong closer about Serj's girlfriend leaving him.
Overall, this album is AWESOME!!!!!

This album is a very solid collaboration, although it falters in some respects. Heavy metal is a genre that gets discredited for being repetitious, and this album has a few songs... Read morePublished on Sept. 5 2004 by Brent Wettlaufer

Transfer latest: Player completes medical as Arsenal thrash out terms of £7.5m deal
Pablo Mari has travelled back to Brazil after completing a medical in London as Arsenal continue to try and thrash out a deal with Flamengo
The January transfer window is in full swing so we’ll bring you all the latest news and gossip from around the globe. Today, the latest on Arsenal’s pursuit of Pablo Mari…
Pablo Mari has travelled back to Brazil after completing a medical in London as Arsenal continue to try and thrash out a deal with Flamengo for the centre-back, according to reports today.
Mikel Arteta is desperately trying to strengthen his options in defence before the end of the month after Calum Chambers was ruled out for at least six months with a knee ligament injury. Shkodran Mustafi made another costly mistake against Chelsea last week so Arsenal need another centre-back to compete with David Luiz, Rob Holding and Sokratis during the second half of the season.
Mari emerged as a prime target late last week with widespread reports suggesting Arsenal were in talks with Flamengo over a deal and the defender was seen arriving at London’s Heathrow Airport on Saturday along with technical director Edu.
The Daily Mail claims Mari completed his medical over the weekend and was expected to finalise an initial six-month loan deal which includes an option for Arsenal to make the move permanent for £7.5m in the summer.
The Daily Mail says the transfer is now in serious doubt as Mari has flown back to Brazil having failed to complete the proposed move after a supposed late ‘hitch’ threatened to derail the deal.
However, the Evening Standard dispute those claims as they say Mari had always planned to head back to Brazil after his medical and the paper suggests the move is still very-much ON with Arsenal actively in talks with Flamengo to finalise the deal.
We’ll now have to wait and see how those negotiations go over the coming days but it looks like Arsenal are still close to sealing a deal for Mari to make the centre-back Arteta’s first signing since arriving as manager in December.
The 26-year-old is a left-footed defender who was at Manchester City for three years but failed to make a first team appearance and spent time on loan at Girona, NAC and Deportivo La Coruna before joining Flamengo on a permanent deal last summer.
The Spaniard has flourished in Brazil as he’s played a key role in helping Flamengo win the Brazilian Serie A title and win the Copa Libertadores while he impressed during their narrow 1-0 defeat to Liverpool in the Club World Cup last month.

TORO PRECISION SERIES NOZZLES
Precision™ Series Rotating Stream Nozzles (PRN) are ideal for maintaining turf in small to medium size lawns. They deliver wind-resistant, multi-stream and multi-trajectory water patterns, utilising Toro’s recognised expertise in gear-driven rotors for golf course applications.
The highly efficient nozzles produce rotating streams of water, delivering water more slowly and evenly than conventional sprays. This slow and consistent application minimises water loss through run-off and evaporation.
PRN’s are installed just like a traditional spray nozzle into a pop-up sprinkler body. This makes them ideal for retrofitting into existing pop-up systems.
Precision® Series Spray Nozzles (PSN) are the most complete and efficient spray nozzle line available, using up to 1/3 less water than conventional spray nozzles, to help manage water use.
The PSN boasts a more uniform, larger droplet size, that reduces misting and overspray – even in windy conditions. Delivering water at a rate of 25 mm per hour, the PSN applies water more slowly and evenly, without sacrificing turf health. And with Toro’s "matched precipitation rate", no matter what arc or radius the sprinkler is set at, each area will receive the same amount of water.
Available in a selection of colour-coded arcs and radii, the PSN is ideal for new installations and retrofits to existing systems.

She appeared to confirm Chloe Green's pregnancy this weekend, when she claimed that Jeremy Meeks' son already knew about their baby joy.
And the 'Hot Felon's' estranged wife Melissa Meeks was seen shopping for boys' baby in Beverly Hills on Saturday.
While Chloe and Jeremy are yet to confirm their baby news, let alone the gender, Melissa certainly seemed to have babies on the mind.
Buying baby clothes: Jeremy Meeks' ex-wife Melissa has been spotted buying baby clothes for a boy this weekend, just days after she appeared to confirm his new girlfriend Chloe's pregnancy
In an interview with Mail On Sunday this weekend, Melissa revealed that she had been playing basketball with her eight-year-old son, Jeremy Junior, in the garden two months ago when he innocently let slip that Chloe was pregnant.
‘He said it so nonchalantly,’ she revealed. ‘We were messing around with a basketball when he stuck it under his shirt and said: “Look, I’m pregnant.”
'I asked him: “Why would you do that? Do you know somebody who’s pregnant?” He said: “Yes, Chloe".
Melissa simultaneously revealed this weekend that news of Jeremy's new relationship with the Topshop heiress coincided with a devastating miscarriage of her own.
Something to tell us: The estranged wife of the model was shopping at English Rabbit in Beverly Hills
Melissa claims the 'Hot Felon' model callously ignored her texts informing the 34-year-old she was having his child - just weeks after their bitter split last year.
The nurse's secret heartache comes after reports emerged that Jeremy is expecting a boy with billionaire Chloe.
Speaking about telling Jeremy she was pregnant, she told the Mirror: 'I heard she [Chloe] was in town with him and I didn't want to talk to him about it when she was around, so I sent him a text and waited and waited.
'There was no communication, no nothing. I just wanted him to acknowledge it, I though he had a right to know.'
New romance: The 37-year-old nurse's secret heartache comes after reports emerged that Jeremy is expecting a boy with billionaire Chloe
Chloe, 27, and Jeremy's romance first emerged last summer when pictures emerged of them locking lips on a yacht in Bodrum, Turkey - despite Meeks still being legally married to his now estranged wife.
Speaking about the betrayal, Melissa told MailOnline: 'I was hardly functioning. I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t eat. I was a mess.
'He said he was sorry for the way it came out and that he didn’t mean to hurt me.
‘He told me he wanted a divorce, but a few days later he came to the house and we went swimming with the kids. I went upstairs for a shower.
'He came up to shower and one thing led

For Immediate Release: June 18, 2020
Contact: Keri Gray, email@example.com
WASHINGTON, DC –
The disability vote could be a winning factor in Battleground States for the 2020 election. Attend POWER: The Disability Vote, a virtual Summit on June 22 and 23 and learn why this is likely.
The American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD), one of the nation’s leading cross-disability organizations, is producing this national, non-partisan Disability and Election Virtual Summit on Monday, June 22 and Tuesday, 23 from 12 Noon – 3:45 ET. There is no cost to attend.
In addition to featuring groundbreaking results from the 2019 Rutgers University Study indicating an 8.5% surge in the disability vote, expert panelists include US Senator Tammy Duckworth (D -Ill), former Senator Tom Harkin, original key sponsor of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and AAPD Board Chair Ted Kennedy, Jr. Many disability rights organizations, including the National Disability Rights Network, the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law, SignVote, and numerous REV UP coalitions will come together to highlight issues regarding voter suppression and mobilizing voters with disabilities. Representatives from civil rights and voting organizations like Voto Latino, Human Rights Campaign, Supermajority, and When We All Vote will also contribute to the Summit.
“We’re facing an election where voters with disabilities could determine the outcome,” declared AAPD President/CEO Maria Town. “This surge in turnout among our increasingly visible, vocal, and active voting bloc is only one factor. We’re also thinking about how the COVID-19 pandemic exposed significant gaps, weaknesses, and unconscious systemic bias in public systems on which people with – and without – disabilities rely. If elected officials, including the President, want to be elected, and expect our votes, they must address and help resolve our issues. Disability rights are civil rights.”
AAPD coordinates REV UP (Register, Educate, Vote, Use your Power), a state- by-state disability vote organizing coalition. REV UP partners are currently active in over 30 states, including five out of the six Battleground States (Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin).
With over 35 million eligible disabled voters in 2020, the disability vote can be a key factor deciding the outcome of the 2020 election. Join the conversation and learn of the expanding power of disabled voters. Register for POWER: The Disability Vote through this link.
* * *
AAPD is a convener, connecter, and catalyst for change, increasing the political and economic power of people with disabilities. As one of the leading national cross-disability civil rights organizations, AAPD advocates for the full recognition of rights for the over 60 million Americans with disabilities. AAPD’s programs and initiatives have been effective in mobilizing the disability community through communications advocacy; cultivating and training new and emerging leaders with disabilities through leadership development programs; increasing the political participation of Americans with disabilities and elevating the power of the disability vote through the REV UP (Register! Educate! Vote! Use your Power!) Campaign; and advancing disability inclusion in the workplace through the Disability Equality Index (DEI) — the nation’s leading corporate benchmarking tool for disability equality and inclusion. To learn more about AAPD, visit www.aapd.com.
AAPD’s REV UP Campaign aims to increase the political participation of the disability community while also engaging candidates and the media on disability issues. AAPD works with state and national coalitions on effective, non-partisan campaigns to address the concerns of people with disabilities, eliminate barriers to voting, promote accessibility of voting; educate communities about issues and candidates; promote turnout of voters with disabilities across the country; and engage candidates and the media on disability issues.

Now in its fifth year this project is a partnership between letterpress printers from the School of Visual Concepts and the Seattle Arts and Lectures' Writers in the Schools program. Pediatric patients work with poets Sierra Nelson and Ann Teplick to write poems as part of their stay at Seattle Children's Hospital. This is ongoing work for the poets who work with the patients. At year end a select group of poems are chosen to be illustrated in broadsides by letterpress printers and are bound in a portfolio.Read more

Welcome back to the desk of ink stains. Another Saturday dawns on us and I’m freezing my socks off.
I have come to my second interview with a blogger: PennyTheBean, or just Penny, from Jane Austen’s Lightsaber. All my questions will be in bold and her answers will be in italics. So sit tight and enjoy.
Welcome, Penny! To begin with, how about telling us a bit about yourself?
I’m just a girl who likes to think she’s actually an elf. When I’m not writing stories for children, I’m geeking over Star Wars, obsessing about theme parks, reading children’s literature (because who wants to grow up?), tending to the dragons in my backyard, and figuring out every day life as God’s kid.
Sweet. Question 01. Why did you start blogging?
Great question! I started blogging because I had a deep desire to write and then share it with others. I wanted to share my thoughts about life, God, writing, and reading with people and to hear their reaction. It’s been hard at times, and I’ve made tons of mistakes, but it’s been amazing!
Sounds exciting! 02. Do you write seriously? As in, tried to write a book?
I do! I have written quite a lot in the past, and now I am moving towards getting published. It’s my highest dream as an author. I’m currently working on a novel right now that I have big plans for!
Wonderful! 03. I noticed that you have a lot of blog followers. How long have you been blogging?
I’ve been blogging for about a year and a half. It’s crazy how much I’ve learned in just that small amount of time!
I’m sure! 04. Do you have any blogging tips for us?
Hmm, let’s see. First, I’d say just be YOU on your blog. Even if you’re weird! Don’t try to cover it up. People seem to like weird more than normal. Second, don’t be afraid to comment and follow blogs as much as you can! And only write that post if you’re having FUN doing it. When someone’s having fun writing a post, their energy is contagious and you’ll leave others feeling awesome too.
Since I seem to hear that a lot, it must work. 05. Do you have any pets?
I do! I have a dog named Buddy that I adopted from an animal shelter. He is spoiled rotten, loves to sleep, and he’s my little baby. Although my blog doesn’t feature this interest, I am completely obsessed with dogs.
I bet he’s adorable. 06. Going back to your novel…could you tell us a little bit about it? You sounded excited about it!
I really am! Unfortunately, because I’ve decided to into traditional publishing, I can’t say much about my stories until they’re much closer to being published. But I can tell you this: I would love to be known for writing action, adventure, and fantasy for children, and I’m working towards doing that exactly.
Keep working at it, Penny. 07. Is this your first novel to be published?
It is! I’ve been writing for years now and I’ve always known I wanted to publish. But recently I’ve been getting more serious about it. AND more excited about it. It’s been tough, but definitely worth it. I can’t wait to see where God takes me!
Years is a long time to be working on a book! Good job! 08. How long do you plan to blog for? Is this just a hobby, or do you want to make it something you would do for your whole life?
I’m not sure! I definitely enjoy it a lot – but I consider it more of my hobby, while writing is more of where I’m serious. That being said, I still hope I can do it for a long time. I really love creating the posts and sharing them.
I see. 09. Do you do art in any form?
Hmm, except for my writing, no. While I’m quite a visual person, I am not very artistic. Nor do I have the patience for it. XD I do play a small bit of piano, though.
Cool! Last question. 10. In your opinion, what’s better? Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
MILK. CHOCOLATE. Dark chocolate is just a bitter, evil plot to make people pay more for nasty food and subsequently take over the world. Eat milk chocolate.
Finally someone who agrees with me! 😆 This has been fun, Penny! Thanks for letting me interview you!
Thank YOU, Emily! I had a great time too! It’s my first time being interviewed, so it felt so special that you picked me! Thanks again! ❤
Your are very welcome!
And so ends the interview with Penny! Remember how a long time ago, I interviewed the protagonist of my book? Next week I shall interview the villain of my book.
Have a good Saturday. Goodbye.

Resveratrol and Vascular Function
AbstractResveratrol increases the production of nitric oxide (NO) in endothelial cells by upregulating the expression of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS), stimulating eNOS enzymatic activity, and preventing eNOS uncoupling. At the same time, resveratrol inhibits the synthesis of endothelin-1 and reduces oxidative stress in both endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells. Pathological stimuli-induced smooth muscle cell proliferation, vascular remodeling, and arterial stiffness can be ameliorated by resveratrol as well. In addition, resveratrol also modulates immune cell function, inhibition of immune cell infiltration into the vascular wall, and improves the function of perivascular adipose tissue. All these mechanisms contribute to the protective effects of resveratrol on vascular function and blood pressure in vivo. Sirtuin 1, AMP-activated protein kinase, and estrogen receptors represent the major molecules mediating the vascular effects of resveratrol. View Full-Text

Females in Film: Workshops
An introduction to working with archive: Tuesday 13th April 6-7.30PM
Ever thought about using archive or stock footage in your films but don’t know where to start?
Join us as we look at an introduction to archive, talking about everything from where you can find stock footage, how much it might cost, and the legality considerations around use. Hear from Onyeka Igwe, a film artist who regularly works with stock footage.
Onyeka Igwe is an artist and researcher working between cinema and installation. She is born and based in London, UK.
Through her work, Onyeka is animated by the question — how do we live together? — with particular interest in the ways the sensorial, spatiality, and non-canonical ways of knowing can provide answers. She uses embodiment, voice, archives, narration and text to create structural ‘figure-of-eights’, a format that exposes a multiplicity of narratives. The work comprises untying strands and threads, anchored by a rhythmic editing style, as well as close attention to the dissonance, reflection and amplification that occurs between image and sound.
Onyeka’s video works have been screened at Artists’ Film Club: Black Radical Imagination, ICA, London, 2017; Dhaka Art Summit, Bangladesh, 2020, and at film festivals internationally including the London Film Festival, 2015 and 2020; Rotterdam International, Netherlands, 2018, 2019 and 2020; Edinburgh Artist Moving Image, 2016; Images Festival, Canada, 2019, and the Smithsonian African American film festival, USA, 2018.

The Dark Souls series is something that casual gamers have grown quite fond of during the 10’s after it started back in 2011. Following, the release of the very first game within series we got to see a sequel entitled Dark Souls II which was developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandi Namco Games. Dark Souls II was an action role-playing game from the PS3/Xbox 360 era of gaming which mainly stands out from other installments within the series for being very difficult. Despite, many people’s complaints on how hard Dark Souls II turned out to be the game was praised by critics for a variety of different reasons. Dark Souls II had many strong positives which involved its level designs, dark atmosphere, PvP along with the fact that it would provide players with at least 60 hours of gameplay. Even though, Dark Souls II was a commercial success reaching at least 2.5 million in sales within a year; the Bloodborne game from 2015 which had the same developer was arguably a much better action role-playing game. Even though, Dark Souls II was considered to be hard it was not on the same level in terms of difficulty as Seikro: Shadows Die Twice from 2019.
Dark Souls II had a compelling storyline with a class system that included various ranks such as: Warrior, Explorer, Sorcerer, Cleric, Deprived, Bandit, Swordsman and Knight. The game also had about 32 different bosses and various types of weapons that players could gain access to throughout the game. Despite, not being considered the best entry within its series Dark Souls II is considered to be an underrated gem. While 2014, was not necessarily the best year for gaming as it related to the 10’s decade; Dark Souls II was one of the few games that stood out in ‘14 along with the likes of Destiny and Dragon Age: Inquisition.
