Recent Sculpture and Large Scale Drawings
Born in 1964, in Winchester, England and currently living in Brooklyn, John Beech is known for his innovative transformations of seemingly mundane industrial objects into extraordinary epitomes of mysterious beauty. Be it three-dimensional containers, pieces of scrap wood, or photographic images of junkyard dumpsters, Beech’s sources for inspiration are as eclectic as they are drawn from the familiar, bestowing the seemingly bland with exotic charm.
Comprising works from the past three years, Beech’s current exhibition features examples of the artist’s so-called “Dumpster Drawings” as well as large-scale sculptures. While rooted in the Duchampian question of the distinction between art and everyday life, Beech’s work adds a strong sense of theatricality, which is initiated by the artist’s careful alteration and presentation of each object. Leading into the main gallery are ten “Rotating Paintings,” all differently shaped Plexiglas shards coated with bright enamel. Though reminiscent of standard geometric shapes, each work seems slightly “off,” and hence, imperfect circles and uneven rectangles with rounded edges dominate the scene. Installing these paintings in unusual angles or even perpendicular to the wall, Beech provides them with a dramatic aura that raises their otherwise simplistic characteristics to a new level. Viewed together and from different perspectives, they become part of an elaborate re-examination of the basic relationships between color and form, a reconsideration of the boundaries between painting and sculpture.
The main gallery features two of the artist’s “Container Sculptures”, both counterbalancing each other, as one is vertical, the other horizontal in nature. Stripped of its former function, the plywood enclosure “Blue Container” is shown with one of its side panels removed. While allowing a thorough glimpse into its interior life, the tall sculpture is partially coated with bright blue enamel that looks like swimming-pool insulation plastic. Lush drips have seeped through the bottom plane and hardened on the corner edges, defying a false image of perfection and generating an overall sense of autonomy. “Low Container,” a rectangular structure, measuring no more than nine inches in height, shares this quality. Painted in deep sunset orange, the work spreads over the floor, encouraging the viewer to examine the now slick angles and original indentations from above. One would not be able to guess this alien creature’s former function.
Framing these centered objects, a series of “Dumpster Drawings” dominate the gallery walls, such as the monumental “Large Double Dumpster Drawing (Silver/Bonn).” The work features two black-and-white photographs of the same image on whose subject only the title offers any information: a dumpster as seen in Bonn, Germany. However, covered by metallic silver paint, the former host of trash has been made invisible and its three-dimensional likeness has been replaced with the flattened shape of its authentic volume. Whereas Warhol colored his silkscreen images and personas without disguising their identity (in fact he relied on their easily recognizable likeness), Beech removes everything but the object’s outline and setting. Despite this difference, it is arguable that in both oeuvres the creation of adaptable ghost-images and blank screens onto which the viewer can project his imagination is essential. Abstraction becomes both the artist’s signature and a means to elevate the altered image to an object of its own and of independent value, or better, to a work of art.

Here are five tips to help identify, address and cope with gossip from our very special Coffee Talk guest, Marion Balla - a registered therapist with the Adlerian Group of Ottawa.
1. Recognize our biases and beliefs about gossip. Both men and women gossip, and this method of social interaction has probably been around as long as we have.
2. Understand that gossip has both positive and negative uses. Sharing stories can build connections, bridge divides and express solidarity - but it can also shame, isolate and demean others.
3. Understand what's causing and fuelling gossip. Ask yourself, why you are sharing a particular story – what is your true goal? Is it to make a connection? To give a warning? To debrief a difficult experience or emotion? Or to lash out at or humiliate someone you don’t like?
4. If you are uncomfortable ‘receiving’ gossip, try to offer feedback or additional information to clarify, reframe or redirect the conversation.
5. Choose how you want to participate in social interactions to ensure inclusion and respect of self and others.
We are so fortunate to have had the chance to talk to Marion Balla about such an important issue in society - let us know your thoughts!

- Groundwater movement in the Edwards Aquifer has been characterized primarily by well data,
potentiometric surface mapping, and computer modeling. While each of these techniques provides
useful information, tracer testing has long been demonstrated as one of the most effective tools in
quantifying groundwater movement in karst aquifers. Tracer testing provides empirical data on
groundwater behavior that can be used to delineate drainage basins, identify groundwater flowpaths,
and measure groundwater velocities, dilution, dispersion, and storage. The results are far more
meaningful and accurate when compared to similar results produced by computer groundwater
The focus of this test is to investigate the sources of water for the principal springs in Kinney and
Uvalde counties. Included in the study will be Pinto, Mud, and Las Moras springs in Kinney County
and Leona Springs in Uvalde County.
This test will be conducted under the auspices of the Edwards Aquifer Authority (Authority) and its
contractor, George Veni and Associates.
This work plan describes the procedures that the Authority typically implements for tracer tests in
the Edwards Aquifer. It is based on the Authorityâ€™s knowledge of the groundwater conditions and
the objective of obtaining scientifically valid results. Each activity within the work plan is affected
by the results of the preceding work. For example, the results of the initial tracer injections will
form the basis for planning subsequent injections. Consequently, some activities described in this
work plan may be changed or omitted during the course of the tracer test. The Authority will
prepare a report at the conclusion of the test to describe the actual methodology and findings.

Teen was 'blackmailed into prostitution by roommate, 31, who drugged her, took compromising photos and threatened to make them public'
- Amanda McGee, 31, is accused of forcing her 18-year-old roommate into prostitution
- The 18-year-old arrived in Calgary, Alberta, for a job and moved into McGee's apartment
- McGee then allegedly began drugging the woman, taking compromising pictures of her while she was unconscious
- She is accused of using those pictures to blackmail her roommate into prostitution
- McGee allegedly advertised the woman's services on social media
- She is also accused of filming her roommate and a client engaged in a sex act, and using that footage to extort the client
Canadian police have charged a woman with human trafficking for allegedly blackmailing her roommate into prostitution.
Amanda Kathleen McGee, 31, offered an 18-year-old newly arrived in Calgary from her home in British Columbia cheap rent in her apartment.
It's alleged McGee then began slipping drugs into alcoholic drinks the pair were consuming, waiting until the young woman was unconscious then taking sexually explicit photos of her.
Accused: Amanda McGee, 31, is accused of blackmailing her young roommate into prostitution
McGee then used the images to blackmail the 18-year-old into becoming a sex worker.
According to CBC News, the 18-year-old arrived in Calgary in October 2013 for a job and met McGee while looking for a place to live.
Concerned about her welfare, in January the woman's family asked local police to check on her.
Police located the young woman at a bus station on January 11, attempting to return home. She told officers that she had been held against her will and forced into prostitution by Amanda McGee, her roommate.
'I would suspect the family may have had information that she was attempting to travel back to her home residence,' acting staff sergeant Mike Saunders told the Calgary Herald.
'My understanding is she was trying to get away from the situation, return to family and friends.'

Police say McGee told the woman she would show the explicit photographs to her family and friends if she did not participate in sex acts for money.
McGee advertised the woman's services on social media, and clients would meet her at the home she shared with McGee.
The landlord of McGee, also her neighbor, said she didn't notice anything untoward occurring at the home.
"[I'm] totally surprised. We had no inkling at all that anything was going on over there," Sharon Lawton told CBC News.
Lawton said McGee told her that the 18-year-old was her young cousin.
McGee is also facing charges of extortion relating to a second victim. The female victim was allegedly a client of the 18-year-old girl and the pair were secretly filmed engaging in sex acts by McGee.
Cheap rent: The alleged crimes occurred in this apartment block, where McGee and the victim lived together
The 31-year-old then used that footage to blackmail the woman. Saunders did not elaborate on what McGee was forcing the victim to do.
Saunders said the second victim will not be charged for procuring a prostitute.
Amanda McGee is facing nine charges: trafficking in persons, administering a noxious substance to aggrieve or annoy, living on the avails of prostitution, keeping a common bawdy house, sexual assault with a weapon, forcible confinement, procuring a person to become a prostitute, extortion and voyeurism.
She is currently in custody and will appear in court Tuesday.
The victim is being supported by family and members of the vice unit.

The WSJ describes how a doctoral student, working on his own time, put together a dossier on North Korea better than anything in open source, and possibly, better than many classified studies. Curtis Melvin did it by creating a “go to place” for intelligence fusion on North Korea and carefully piecing the puzzle together.
Mr. Melvin is at the center of a dozen or so citizen snoops who have spent the past two years filling in the blanks on the map of one of the world’s most secretive countries. Seeking clues in photos, news reports and eyewitness accounts, they affix labels to North Korean structures and landscapes captured by Google Earth, an online service that stitches satellite pictures into a virtual globe. The result is an annotated North Korea of rocket-launch sites, prison camps and elite palaces on white-sand beaches. … An economist who studies developing countries and has traveled from Turkmenistan to Zimbabwe, Mr. Melvin started his project in early 2007 to designate places he visited on two group tours to North Korea earlier this decade. He shared it on several North Korea-related Web sites. …
People soon started sending him locations they knew, from tourist sites to airfields tucked into valleys near South Korea. Mr. Melvin says that sadness for North Koreans’ plight, and the fascination of discovery, motivated him to continue.
Five years ago, while analyzing the way in which newspapers covered an atrocity story describing an American attack on an Iraqi wedding party, I wrote: “although the news media functions as the civilian intelligence system, collecting raw data, processing it and distributing it to the public, for historical reasons it lacks many of the features which professional intelligence systems have evolved over the years: namely a system of grading information by reliability and existence of analytic cell whose function is to follow the developments and update the results.” More recently, looking at an article in which Wikipedia corrected a hoax story far more quickly than the mainstream press, I observed that:
One of the things that Wikipedia does far better than journalism — apart from having “many eyes” to make its bugs shallow, is that it maintains a lineage of its information. For example, the version history of the entry on Maurice Jarre is shown on this page. By treating edits like a database transaction log (which in fact it is), and thereby tracking inserts, edits and deletes, you can ‘play back’ the evolution of a piece of information just like a movie. You can restore to any point in time. This tremendously powerful feature makes Wikipedia, for all its defects architecturally better than the press. You can not only see the hoax entry come and go, it is possible to see how the Wikipedia editors dealt with it.
The question that jumps out of the Curtis Melvin story is why the New York Times, with the resources it had in its heyday, couldn’t do something as neat as this. Why did late 20th century journalism simply ignore the best practice in the intelligence fields and in information technology and stick to the old architecture with all its obvious defects? In the Sherlock Holmes story The Silver Blaze, Sherlock Holmes describes the signifance of the dog that didn’t bark in the night.
Gregory (Scotland Yard detective): “Is there any other point to which you would wish to draw my attention?”
Holmes: “To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.”
Gregory: “The dog did nothing in the night-time.”
Holmes: “That was the curious incident.”
The question of why the newspapers didn’t do it is best left to historians to ponder. Perhaps I was right to say, “one possible reason was that the media did not want to. Newspapers were not in the information business. They were in the narrative business; and in that profession an editor’s chief ambition is to retain the power to keep his tale in the service of whichever great ideology or personal lord he served.” Perhaps Curtis Melvin’s site will evolve into a network of colleagues, who like astronomers, will parcel out North Korea into sectors, according to spectrum and knowledge domain until they discover more about it than perhaps even the Dear Leader knows. Who can say where it will lead: will such efforts continue to flourish or will pressure be exerted to bring the flood of knowledge back within the old bounds? Are we living in the golden age of political discovery that will soon be past or simply waiting on verge of something even greater? Whatever happens next, it’s been a great ride.
What though the radiance
which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass,
of glory in the flower,
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind.
Or maybe just find the waterslide in Kim Jon Il’s palace.

Hydraulic lifting tools are essential in industrial workplaces and warehouses, operated via pumps, using oil solutions and pistons to apply and distribute pressure with or without external power sources.
Hydraulic systems are closed fluid-based systems that use pressurized incompressible liquids as transmission media. A hydraulic system uses fluid under pressure to power machinery or to move mechanical components. Pressure applied to liquids enclosed in a vessel is used as the prime mover to control objects’ motion and force. Specially designed fluid systems can provide both linear and rotary motions.
We will analyze everything you need to know about hydraulic tools and how they can be applied to lifting equipment.
What are the applications for hydraulics systems?
Hydraulic systems are so ubiquitous that you may interact with a hydraulic-based system multiple times throughout the day without even realizing it.
Hydraulics is a mechanical function that is acted upon by fluid pressure. In hydraulic-based systems, motion is created by an enclosed pumping fluid, usually a hydraulic cylinder that moves a piston.
Hydraulic systems have many applications. They are widely used in the automotive industry, from braking systems to power steering. However, they are also used in construction, manufacturing, aircraft, and various lifting and handling solutions.
Discover our hydraulic adjustable lifting beam
Hydraulic cylinders: the power source in hydraulic lifting tools
Hydraulic cylinders contain the pressurized oil that allows force and motion to be applied in hydraulic tools. They can have single-acting or double-acting forms, using force in one direction or simultaneously horizontally and vertically.
A hydraulic cylinder’s size, capacity, and stroke size may vary to make it compatible with tools with differing clearances for attachment, changing its lifting capacity and the distance from which it can move something.
Connecting hydraulic cylinders to the lifting tool
Using a hydraulic lift system is not as simple as attaching the cylinder to the back and getting ready to use it. To securely attach the cylinders to the tool, they must be connected with hydraulic hoses, the correct couplers, valves, and manifolds to control the flow of pressure correctly, and gauges to monitor the pressure used.
Generating the pressure for hydraulic lifting tools
Hydraulic cylinders are connected to hand-operated pumps, electric or powered pumps to create the pressure needed and be activated.
Hydraulic pumps move hydraulic tools and cylinders. Many devices have built-in hydraulic hand or foot pumps, but separate hand or electric pumps can also be used as attachments for other tools.
Essentially, a pump pushes pressure through an air cylinder or tool to achieve the desired effect, whether lifting, pushing, clamping, or any other typical hydraulic function.
Discover how we use hydraulics in lifting tongs design.
Hydraulics systems vs. pneumatic systems
Hydraulics systems and pneumatic systems are similar in function. Both systems use pressurized fluid power, but the main difference is that hydraulics use liquids and pneumatics use gasses.
Hydraulic systems are capable of higher pressures: up to 10,000 psi, while pneumatic systems are around 100 psi. This pressure is due to the incompressibility of the fluid, allowing for greater power transfer and higher efficiency since no energy is lost through compression except when air enters the hydraulic lines. Hydraulic oil also lubricates, cools, and transmits hydraulic power. Pneumatics are less versatile and require separate oil lubrication, which can mess up the air pressure.
The design and control of pneumatics are more straightforward and safer (with a lower risk of fire) partly because the compressibility of gas-absorbing shock absorbers protects the mechanism.

Who Are We?
Greg Tisdale Jr. MSN, FNP-C
CEO & Owner/Provider
Greg’s dream of reaching the unreachable became a reality over two years ago. And today, On-Site Health has grown quickly because there is such a great need in our state for home-based primary care. With backgrounds in oncology, and hospice, he has always had a heart for those that may need a little extra time and compassion at the bedside. When asked about working as an in-home provider, he said, “I have seen first-hand that everyone does not have the same access to quality and compassionate healthcare services. These experiences are what led me to seek out more information and eventually led me to start a house-call practice. I want to make a difference in this world, and I want to make it right here where I live..”

A wrongful death lawsuit has been filed in Texas after a nursing home resident fell from her bed and suffered severe and eventually fatal neurological injuries.
The facts are awful. A woman was found on the floor, next to her bed, yelling for help. She was neurologically alert and coherent, but bleeding from head trauma, and in severe pain. According to the lawsuit, the woman was placed back in bed, where she was later discovered nonresponsive, taken to the hospital, and died from her injuries.
Plaintiff’s lawsuit alleges that contrary to the doctor’s orders, the woman’s bed was not in a low position, and floor mats and a bed alarm were not being used. Though she was a high fall risk resident, a care plan and nursing interventions (to prevent a fall) weren’t followed. The lawsuit further claims that the nursing home’s nurses were not adequately trained or apprised of the resident’s care plan.
If the article I read is to be believed (reporters do screw these things up, sometimes), the discovery battle is beyond odd. The doctors have refused to produce the decedent’s health care medical chart, on the basis that its lawyer had the chart… and they refuse to provide the lawyer’s identity and contact information. As a result, the plaintiffs’ malpractice lawyers have had to ask for a temporary restraining order against the center, preventing them from destroying or altering the chart. A hearing is scheduled for this week on the restraining order.
I would love to see the doctors’ motions in that case. What could they possibly argue?

Third full year of trading for Ageas joint venture
Tesco Underwriting has shrunk its book by a quarter and improved its combined operating ratio (COR) after cutting unprofitable business.
Gross written premiums at the company, which underwrites Tesco branded car and home insurance policies, fell 24.9% to £443m last year.
Tesco Underwriting said: “The decrease in premium reflects the competitive market and focus on maintaining prices to maintain profitability and support return on capital.”
Pre-tax profit shrank from £28.9m to £14.8m in the period, but COR improved from 103.1% to 100.9%
“The decrease in profit between years reflects the focus on strengthening underwriting in the company’s third full year of operation,” the company said.
Tesco Underwriting is a joint venture between Ageas, which holds a 50.1% stake, and Tesco Bank, which owns 49.9%. All of the underwriting risk sits with Tesco Underwriting.
Tesco completes its own underwriting and uses Ageas staff and expertise to help with claims.
Tesco Bank is owned by Tesco, which has been shaken by revelations that it overstated its first half profit by £250m.
The grocer’s value has plummeted by £4bn since the revelation last month.
Asked if Tesco could sell its banking operation to improve its balance sheet, Shore Capital head of research Clive Black said: “I would be surprised if they decided to divest their insurance arm and most certainly not from a position of weakness. That said, let’s see what happens.
“A decision would naturally involve Benny Higgins, the chief executive of Tesco Bank, one of the better performing elements of the troubled group.”

AKRON, Ohio (AP) - Police finally caught up with a minivan carrying four caged puppies on its roof after dozens of calls poured in to 911 centers in northeast Ohio.
Akron police say the driver didn't realize he did anything wrong by leaving the mixed-breed puppies on the roof. He said Friday he was transporting them for his father, who couldn't keep them. He was taking the 3-month-old puppies to his wife's family in Pennsylvania, some 300 miles away.
He, his wife and their four children were inside the minivan. The Mennonite family from Nova, Ohio, turned over the dogs to police, who said they would be given to the Humane Society of Greater Akron.
The Akron Beacon Journal reports police didn't charge the man, but educated him on proper transportation of animals. The puppies appeared shaken, but fine otherwise.

Fans arrived at the venue to find the entrances closed.
KISS frontman Paul Stanley has tested positive for COVID-19. The band cancelled their show in Burgettstown, PA tonight just before doors were set to open. Fans arrived at The Pavilion at Star Lake only find closed doors. The venue’s event staff informed fans that the show had been cancelled, according to WPXI.
“Tonight’s KISS show at The Pavilion at Star Lake in Burgettstown, PA is unfortunately postponed due to Paul Stanley testing positive for COVID,” the band said in an official statement. “More information about show dates will be made available ASAP. Everyone on the entire tour, both band and crew, are fully vaccinated.”
According to the Pittsburg Post-Gazette, a VIP fan confirmed that Paul Stanley was not present at soundcheck.
Rumors started circulating on social media that Stanley had a heart attack, but he quickly debunked the rumor on Twitter:
KISS previously played shows at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, NJ on August 21 and The Huntington Center in Toledo, OH on August 25.
“A year and a half of our lives gone,” frontman Paul Stanley lamented at the beginning of the Atlantic City show. “But, we’re back now and doing this thing!”
The band’s August 22 show at the XFINITY Theater in Hartford, CT due to inclement weather cause by Hurricane Henri.
KISS’s next show is scheduled for August 28 at the Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek in Raleigh, NC.
This is a developing story.

I never had a complaint about Manny as a person or student. I compliment him (and family) on what he has achieved from being dealt a tough hand. My questions were about the overthrows of guys who had beat their defender and could have taken the ball into the end zone. Also guys wide open that he often did not spot. Example...late in game on 3d down with about 7 for a first he decides to roll out left and there is a receiver standing still and not covered who could catch the ball, turn, fall over and have a first down. Manny is looking downfield for the long ball then decides to run and makes 2 yds. Punt.
Those are the things that drove me crazy.

18th Amend Crystal Clear About Devolution Of Higher Education To Provinces: Senator Shahi
Senator Mir Kabeer Ahmed Muhammad Shahi, Chairman Senate Functional Committee on Devolution Process under 18th Amendment has said
PESHAWAR, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 12th Jan, 2018 ) :Senator Mir Kabeer Ahmed Muhammad Shahi, Chairman Senate Functional Committee on Devolution Process under 18th Amendment has said that education played key role in the progress and development of the country saying allocation of maximum budget for education was inevitable to meet the desired goals.
He expressed these views while chairing a review meeting on the implementation of 18th Amendment here at Islamia College on Friday. The meeting was attended by the members of the senate functional committee and Vice Chancellors of the public sector universities of the Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa.
Out of four federating units, only Punjab and Sindh provinces have established Higher Education Commissions. The purpose of the visit by the functional committee is to ascertain as to how much progress has been made after the devolution of higher education to the provinces, he concluded.

Historically, polygamy has been practiced as polygyny (one man having more than one wife), as polyandry (one woman having more than one husband), or, less commonly, as "polygamy" (having many wives and many husbands at one time).
Further, many people practice polyamory, which refers to the acceptance, desire, and experience of more than one intimate relationship at a time with the consent of all involved (note this differs from polygamy, which refers to multiple spouses rather than relationships and which historically, religiously, and culturally does not necessarily require the consent of all parties involved).
An example of a strictly endogamous religious group is the Yazidi in Northern Iraq, who prohibit any inter-clan marrying.
Endogamy is a common practice among displaced cultures attempting to make roots in new countries as it encourages group solidarity and ensures greater control over group resources (which may be important to preserve where a group is attempting to establish itself within an alien culture).
This notion of parents and children as family is called a nuclear family and is a recent invention of the Western World that has (in some cases) been sold as a form of "tradition." It is a social construct that does not necessarily reflect the reality of family life for many people. S., the nuclear family is no longer the primary form of social life in the U. According to recent census data, more adult women now live alone or are raising their children alone than are living with a spouse or raising their children with a spouse.
The structure of families traditionally hinges on relations between parents and children, between spouses, between members of long term relationships (romantic, economic or otherwise) or all of the above.
But society increasingly accepts a number of variations on family forms.
Sipping my coffee, I nodded and asked, “What happened this time?
You can see a good example of the changing nature of families in the family structure of Ancient Rome.
In Ancient Rome the family structure was centered on the father (see paterfamilias).
The development of horticultural or agriculture-based societies fundamentally changed the nature of marriage and family forms built around it.
With the advent of sedentary societies, marriage became one of the central institutions for forging economic and political relationships and was no longer viewed, at least among the aristocracy, as a relationship that should be based on love, companionship, or sexual attraction.

Channel Well Technology, or CWT in short, is a major OEM of PC power supplies and notebook power bricks. Several major PSU brands source their PSUs from CWT, across all market segments. The company apparently also sells certain reference PSUs of its own in the retail channel, the way Seasonic and Fortron (FSP) do, and showcased its latest ATX 3.0 + PCIe Gen 5 compliant PSU models. The CTT series of enthusiast-segment reference PSUs comes in 1650 W and 1350 W variants, and boast of 80 Plus Titanium efficiency, and two 16-pin 12VHPWR connectors, each capable of 600 W continuous output.
The CTB Series are the company's top SFX-L PSU models, and meet SFX12V 4.0 (ATX 3.0 analogue) standards, along with PCIe Gen 5. These come in a 1000 W variant with 80 Plus Gold efficiency, and a 1200 W variant with 80 Plus Platinum, both feature a 16-pin 12VHPWR connector. These use 120 mm fans. The CSX Series PSUs target the traditional SFX form-factor, and come in two high-wattage models—1000 W with 80 Plus Platinum efficiency, and 850 W with 80 Plus Gold. Both models offer a 600 W-rated 16-pin 12VHPWR connector.
The HPF series upper mid-range ATX PSUs come with semi-modular cabling (the 24-pin and two 4+4 pin EPS connectors are fixed). This series meets ATX 3.0 and PCIe Gen 5 specs, and comes in 1000 W and 1200 W variants, with 80 Plus Gold switching efficiency. Both offer a 16-pin 12VHPWR connector. The GPW series forms the thick of the company's mid-range, and comes in 750 W, 650 W, and 550 W variants, with 80 Plus Gold Efficiency. At least the 750 W variant offers a 16-pin 12VHPWR, we're not sure about the lower-wattage models.
The HPC series target the high cost-performance gaming PC market, and despite their rather high wattage, would be slotted in the company's mid-range. These come in 850 W and 1000 W capacities, with 80 Plus Bronze switching efficiency, and offer full modular cabling, along with one 16-pin 12VHPWR connector, along with an ARGB LED-illuminated fan. The GPX series are slightly premium mid-range PSUs with full-modular cabling, but 550 W, 650 W, 750 W, and 850 W variants, with 80 Plus Gold efficiency, and 12VHPWR connectors on at least the 750 W and 850 W models. The CSZ is a premium-segment lineup, though not quite enthusiast. These come in 850 W, 1000 W, and 1200 W models, with 80 Plus Gold and 80 Plus Platinum efficiency ratings, and at least one 16-pin 12VHPWR connector on all models.
The higher wattage PSUs with two 16 pin 12VHPWR connectors is interesting.

By Tom Robotham
It’s hard to believe it’s been 25 years since you and I put down roots in Hampton Roads. That’s right—I don’t know whether you remember this, but you and I both moved to Norfolk in 1991.
The timing was fortuitous. When I moved here from New York City, I was looking forward to a fresh start in a very different kind of town from my native city. My daughter was not even two years old, and her mom and I felt that Norfolk, with its more easygoing lifestyle and lower cost of living, would be a good place to raise a family. Nevertheless, I worried that I would miss New York’s vast array of cultural attractions—especially the New York Philharmonic, which I’d loved ever since I attended my first concert at Lincoln Center when I was 18.
I’d heard that Norfolk had its own symphony, but assumed—with characteristic New York snobbery—that it couldn’t be very good.
Boy, was I wrong. The first time I saw the Virginia Symphony at Chrysler Hall, I was absolutely astonished, both by its technical precision and its exuberance. But the best was yet to come.
It was not long after we both arrived here that you and I met for lunch for the first time. We talked about the classical repertoire, music journalism, our respective experiences in New York City, your passion for the classical guitar, and all manner of other things. What struck me about you was your authenticity. I felt that you were sincerely interested in our conversation, and I left that lunch that day feeling utterly inspired. It was gratifying to find a new friend with so many shared interests, but as a journalist I was also intrigued by the prospect of writing about you and the orchestra.
We had many lunches together after that, but my fondest memory is of one in 2000, when we discussed an idea for an in-depth piece. After some very fruitful brainstorming, we agreed that I would spend an entire week with the Symphony, exploring in detail the preparation that goes into a single concert.
The featured piece on the program was Prokofiev’s Fifth Symphony. I was vaguely familiar with it, but I did not know it well. In subsequent conversations, you explained to me its historical context as well as its musical contours and significance. It seemed to me that your eyes—your whole being, in fact—lit up as you spoke. And as I sat through the first rehearsal—during which you took it apart, virtually measure by measure—I began to understand and to feel what you had explained to me.
What struck me as well was how gracious you were during those rehearsals. You had an enormous task at hand, getting the orchestra ready for opening night, and I’m sure that somewhere deep down it was stressful for you. But you never showed that stress. Moreover, you made me feel included in the process, introducing me to a number of the musicians. They made me feel welcome as well, and several of them subsequently became good friends. That is a testament to them, of course, but also to you, because it seems to me that the entire orchestra is infused with your spirit. Like you, the musicians were not only obliging but seemed eager to share their thoughts on the piece, on the challenges of being part of an orchestra, and on your leadership. Every last one of them seemed to radiate with affection when they spoke of you.
With all of this in mind, I was excited when I took my seat in Chrysler Hall on opening night and awaited the beginning of the concert. As I noted earlier, I’d seen countless orchestral performances, not only at Lincoln Center, but at Carnegie Hall, and in other cities from San Francisco to London. None can compare to the concert I saw that night in Norfolk. Having gotten to know you, the musicians and the Prokofiev Fifth, I felt that I had a stake in the concert’s outcome. I was rooting for you—and you did not disappoint. Although I love classical music, I’ll admit that at times, during concerts in the past, my attention has wandered. Not that night, though. I hung on every note—and to this day, the Prokofiev is one of my favorite pieces in the repertoire.
What a gift!
Meanwhile, the article that I ended up writing and publishing about the experience remains, to my mind, one of the best things I’ve ever written, out of well over a thousand articles and several books. You were very complimentary after you read it, but the truth is, I could not have written it in the way that I did had it not been for your inspiration and the bond I’d come to feel with the musicians.
Fifteen years have come and gone since that experience. We’ve had other lunches, all of which have been lovely, and I’ve attended many other Virginia Symphony concerts, all of which have been superb. But that experience of immersion remains as vivid in my memory as if it happened yesterday.
Reflecting on this, I cannot find the words to adequately express my appreciation of what you have given me and the community. And so, let me just close with this: You are one of the finest people I have ever met—so musical, not only in the literal sense but in the way that you live life and interact with people. You have brought so much beauty into this town, my adopted home, and with this in mind I want to remind everyone that your anniversary is worthy of the most joyful celebration.
Yours in faith and gratitude,

Harper Deveraux was a rich and powerful senator who came to Salem with his wife Anjelica in 1987. Harper soon became involved in the mysterious computer disk that Victor Kiriakis and Serena Colville were after. When the disk ended up in his possession he was almost killed by an explosion set up in Mike's lab where the disk was stashed. Harper enlisted the help of Steve Johnson to fake his death, but the blanks in Steve's rifle were replaced with real bullets, and Harper fell into a coma after being shot by Steve.
Harper recovered and hired Kayla Brady to be his son's nurse. Jack had come to town and was sick with Hodgkin's disease. When he and Kayla married Kayla moved into the Deveraux mansion. Meanwhile Harper learned that Jack's true family was looking for him, so to keep his identity a secret he stole the adoption papers from Jo Johnson. When the papers turned up missing he thought Kayla had them so he tried to kill her with poison. Later Melissa Anderson was arrested and charged with the attempted murder.
When Harper's wife Anjelica became pregnant Harper ordered her to have an abortion. Angelica refused, not knowing that Harper was hiding a secret from her. When Jack learned he was adopted Anjelica learned that Harper was sterile, so the father of her unborn baby was Justin Kiriakis.
Harper, who was angry at the women in his life for betraying him, began attacking the women of Salem. He attacked Eve Donovan, who survived but war scarred by a knife slash across her cheek. Harper then attacked, and killed Janice Barnes. His next victim was Kayla Brady, who survived the attack but went deaf and mute as a result. Harper then attacked Kimberly, who was working undercover as a prostitute. Kimberly survived, but lost the child she was carrying.
When Kayla recalled the identity of her attacker she rushed to tell her sister Kimberly. Unfortunately Harper took them both hostage and planned to finish the jobs he started on them Harper was eventually stopped by Steve Johnson. Harper was sent to prison, but vowed to get revenge on Steve.
Later that year Victor Kiriakis, with the help of Jack Deveraux, arranged a jail break so that Harper could leave the country. The scheme didn't go off as planned; Harper was shot while trying to get to the airport. Jack took him to the Riverfront Clinic where he took Kayla hostage again. Steve rescued Kayla, and Harper was sent back to prison once again.
Harper later escaped from prison in 1990 and tried to stop Kayla and Steve's wedding. He fell to his death while fighting with Jack on the bell tower.

design spoiler car. Sunday , November 26th , 2017 - 02:58:02 AM
Attaching a spoiler (or wing) to your vehicle will not only give it that sexy, sleek appeal you were looking for but will also enhance the maneuverability at high speeds. Most spoilers are meant to operate as air dams, which push the back of the vehicle lower to the ground when speed and wind are applied to it. Affordable car spoilers do more than just make your car stand out from the crowd A spoiler as stated above will improve the aerodynamics of your car, giving it more down force thus improving the handling of your car. A spoiler is also a very good way to improve the looks of a vehicle - a car with a spoiler often has a more "finished" and sporty look when compared to a factory stock car of the same model. Spoilers for most makes of car are an optional extra that people do not choose to fit when they order the vehicle so fitting affordable car spoilers aftermarket often improves the resale value of many cars. So as you can see no matter what your reason, performance, looks, or resale value there are several reasons why you may wish to consider affordable car spoilers.
Finally, the High Rise or Specialty Spoilers would be the huge dudes that sit higher up off the deck lid. Take a trip down Memory Lane back to the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, and its mammoth rear spoiler. Like them or not, they’re popping up once again, everywhere, primarily on the smaller compact rides.
Following those will be the Customized Spoilers, that are usually designed to suit a particular make and model automobile, but will not be replicas like the authentic factory ones. These tend to permit the customizer who wants a little more oomph on his ride to accomplish that. They are also assured to fit, which can be most helpful.

Doctor of Philosophy
The study set out to trace the development of County Agricultural Extension Councils in Iowa, and to draw implications for extension functioning in developing countries like Ghana. The method of grounded theory was explored in an attempt to contribute to theory development in the field of adult education;The councils were found to have evolved from the metamorphosis of indigenous institutions and organizations over a long period. The demonstration movement was identified as sowing the seed for the basic principles of extension organization with active participation of local people. The formation of farmers organizations, culminating in the Farm Bureau and its ties with Extension Services of Iowa, solidified the need for locally organized sponsoring associations for extension education. This need, in addition to conflicts of interests between Extension and Farm Bureau gave birth to the Extension Councils. A basic conclusion for third world situations is that County Extension Councils are more than products of intellectual genius. Another conclusion is that indigenous institutions and organizations of farmers need to develop in their own environments responding to local needs;The grounded theory methodology revealed that: social action resulting from a genuine appraisal of existing circumstances, basically the felt needs of a community, will culminate in dynamic growth and avoid stagnation. Thus, as organizations grow and develop, they learn to define what they need and what their direction and goals are. Additionally, this development is constantly being fed and redefined as times and conditions change.

It’s just ok!! Waste of time., a lot of “ she shrugs “ , “ he shrugs” lol a lot of shrugging .. like every other sentence someone shrug.
This is the third book I have read from this author and her books are not bad. The issue I have is the main characters are women who are doormats and that is aggravating to me but every author has their own writing style.
I guess I was not the target audience. Still the writing is poor.
Good and twisty!
I enjoyed the story, narrator voice was very slightly annoying
Great book. Tolerates narrator because the book was a good one.
I loved the book!!
The summary is much better than the book itself.
Another thriller. Kept you guessing to the end.

In our project, we are focusing on Black and Brown neighborhoods in Columbus that have been altered and, in many cases,damaged by deliberate actions such as urban highway construction, urban renewal and redlining practices. Our intentis to raise awareness and empower restorative justice by creating evocative experiences that connect with people in a visceral manner. A longer-termobjective istobuild a scientific database to which we can apply high resolution morphological analytics to understand the impacts of built environments – and their large–scale alterations – on social, health and environmental justice outcomes in these communities.
Here are some updates about our three main study sites to date: i) Hanford Village in 1961; ii) Poindexter Village in 1940; iii) Mt. Vernon Ave in 1951.
(All images can be clicked for larger versions.)
Hanford Village in 1961
Our first study site is Hanford Village, a historically Black neighborhood in Columbus that was bisected and harmed by the construction of highway I-70 starting in the late 1960s. The image below shows our initial 3D model. The buildings are from 1961; the completed I-70 highway is superimposed on the image. Buildings in red were demolished for the highway and adjacent Alum Creek Drive (on the right side of the image, near the highway curve). Our results show that a total of 380 buildings have been demolished in these areas, including 286 dwellings, 86 garages, 5 apartments, and 3 stores.
Note that the buildings textures (exteriors) are plausible but not accurate. We applied simple rules within ESRI City Engine to generate these textures. In our current phase, we are studying historical and current day photos to build more accurate building textures. The image below shows a Google Street View image of a still existing 1940s Cape Cod home in the George Washington Carver Addition in Hanford Village with a 3D model of the building. We are currently working on making all of the buildings in our Hanford Village model this realistic and accurate.
Poindexter Village in 1940
Poindexter Village was one the first public housing project in Ohio and one of the first in the United States: Franklin Delano Roosevelt attended its dedication in 1940. Most of the buildings have since been demolished. The images below shows our 3D model of Poindexter Village, overlaid on a present day aerial image. The top image shows an overview; the bottom image shows building details. The only buildings that remain are the church (the building with the columns) and the two residential buildings to its left in both images.
A museum and visitor center is planned for the two remaining buildings. We are in the final stages of building this model. We are also working in partnership with the Ohio History Connection to explore ways to incorporate this model into the planned museum and visitor center, delivered via the web, onsite digital displays or a 3D printed tabletop model.
Mt. Vernon Ave in 1951
Mt. Vernon Ave in 1951 is our newest study site and time, supported by a seed grant from the Battelle Engineering, Technology and Human Affairs (BETHA) Endowment fund at The Ohio State University and in partnership with the Columbus Landmarks Foundation and the City of Columbus Near East Area Commission (NEAC). CLF and NEAC are pursuing historic district designation for Mt. Vernon Ave. Mt. Vernon Ave was the commercial heart of the Black community in Columbus in the mid 20th century; the construction of the I-71 highway severed this corridor from Columbus downtown. The image below shows a map of Mt. Vernon Ave in the Bronzeville neighborhood of Columbus. The dashed line indicates where the street no longer exists (the present day Columbus State Community College campus.)
Our initial study area is a three-block stretch of Mt. Vernon Ave between present-day Monroe St (to the west) and 20th Street (to the east). The images below shows a present-day aerial image with our study area demarcated at two different map scales. Based on our research, this was the largest concentration of commercial activity in 1951. It was also the site of an ill-considered urban renewal project in 1971 under the Model Cities program
The next three images illustrate the information extracted from the Sanborn maps. The first image shows building footprints with uses, overlaid on a present-day map. D = dwelling; F = flat (apartment); S = store (commercial); A= automobile (garage).
This image shows the number of stories derived from the Sanborn maps:
Finally, the building construction material from the Sanborn maps:
The animation below compares the present-day buildings in 3D to the 1951 buildings in 3D. Even with this basic, simple building models, we can see the sharp decline in density and loss of commercial activity after the urban renewal project.
We are currently conducting archival research to determinate accurate building textures, especially for the commercial buildings, and adding this information to the models. We are also working with Dr. Matt Lewis to develop an in-situ augmented reality experience of Mt. Vernon Ave in 1951.
Abstract: Many people with mobility disabilities (PwMD) rely on public transit to access crucial resources and maintain social interactions. However, they face higher barriers to accessing and using public transit, leading to disparities between people with and without mobility disabilities. In this paper, we use high-resolution public transit real-time vehicle data, passenger count data, and paratransit usage data from 2018 to 2021 to estimate and compare transit accessibility and usage of people with and without mobility disabilities. We find large disparities in powered and manual wheelchair users’ accessibility relative to people without disabilities. The city center has the highest accessibility and ridership, as well as the highest disparities in accessibility. Our scenario analysis illustrates the impacts of sidewalks on accessibility disparities among the different groups. We also find that PwMD using fixed-route service are more sensitive to weather conditions and tend to ride transit in the middle of the day rather than during peak hours. Further, the spatial pattern of bus stop usage by PwMD is different than people without disabilities, suggesting their destination choices can be driven by access concerns. During the COVID-19 pandemic, accessibility disparities increased in 2020, and PwMD disproportionately avoided public transit during 2020 but used it disproportionately more during 2021 compared to riders without disabilities. This paper is the first to examine PwMD’s transit experience with large high-resolution datasets and holistic analysis incorporating both accessibility and usage. The results fill in these imperative scientific gaps and provide valuable insights for future transit planning.

Steve Jobs revolutionized the Smartphone industry. He quoted at Macworld 2007 that tie “iPhone is a revolutionary and magical product that is literally five years ahead of any other mobile phone.”
Smart phone technology has come a long way in a very short time. It is true that the iPhone was not the first smart device, nor did it have the first camera, nor the first of many features that we now love. Jobs used the idea of the iPhone to put the pieces together, to combine a variety of features into a device that people wanted.
Truthfully, it is hard to remember a time where I did not have an iPhone attached to my hip. Can you believe that today marks the tenth birthday of the iPhone’s release, June 29, 2007? It is even more awe-inspiring that Steve Jobs introduced the product roughly 6 months prior to the shipping date.
Starting initially as a Cingular exclusive (AT&T), the original iPhone 4GB model was available for $499 and the 8GB model was available for $599 (history.com). Yes, that was not a typo, the original phones were 4GB/8GB offerings. The original specifications (gleaned from iMore website) included a 3.5 inch LCD screen at 320×480, quad band 2G edge data radio, 802.11b.g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0 EDR, a 2MP camera, 1400 mAh battery and 128MB RAM.
Additionally, it introduced an accelerometer to rotate the screen, ambient light sensor to adjust brightness, and a proximity sensor to turn off the screen when close to your face. The one millionth iPhone was, amazingly, sold 74 days after release. This is a far cry from the “Gamble” that the New York Times supposed (nordic.businessinsider.com).
Fast forward to 2008, the iPhone obtained 3G and GPS. Verizon reached a deal with Apple and began selling CDMA iPhones on February 11, 2011. The iPhone 5 brought the lightning adaptor, brought us IOS 6 and Apple Maps, Passbook, FaceTime (2012). In 2014 the iPhone 6 brought plus sizes, drama with the dreaded “bendgate,” NFC capability and Apple Pay, larger phone storage. IN 2015 we got the iPhone 6S/6S plus with a 12 MP camera, 3D/Haptic touch.
In 2016 we got the iPhone SE (iPhone 6 features in the body of an iPhone 5S) and the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. Most recently we have water resistance, camera improvements with dual 12 MP rear lenses, 7 MP front camera, and up to 256 GB storage. Whether you love it or hate it, Apple continued to revolutionize the iPhone with the removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack.
These are just a few of the changes that Apple has brought to the smartphone world. We may have lost an amazing inventor in 2011, with the death of Steve Jobs, but his legacy continues to live on in the brand.
The SureCall PR team, a cellular booster manufacturer, wants to celebrate the day with an amazing graphic, detailing the “journey of innovation and change.” Whether you use your iPhone for work/business or for life, you likely are not very far from your device and you benefit from the continued enhancements. Let SureCall help you to have improved access to the device you love.

How did I learn to deal with my anger? I went to California
Esalen, in northern California, was founded in 1962, and became a centre for the ‘human potential’ movement…It was an institute devoted to the exploration of the world of ‘unrealized capacities that lies beyond the imagination.’ It became known for its experimental workshops, the steady influx of philosophers, psychologists, artists and spiritual thinkers, as well as its breathtaking grounds, blessed with natural hotsprings. The photos above show visitors receiving the renowned naked Esalen massages in the open air and lying in the hot tubs which are so popular there, and all over California.
I went to live in California in the 1970’s and became involved in the human potential movement and the psychological experimentation which was so popular at the time. I would go to workshops and bang pillows , raging at my parents, and trying to let out all my anger…….but little by little, I realised that the more I screamed, the more angry I was becoming, and the theory that if only I screamed long and hard enough, all my bottled up anger would disappear, did not seem to stand the test of experience.
Gradually, it began to make more sense to experience anger as something to be transcended, through deeper understanding of its roots.
I received the following story today from a friend. I think it helps one to deal with anger, and to understand the roots of anger, in a far deeper, more subtle and beautiful way……
Why We Shout When in Anger – a spiritual story
A Holy saint who was visiting a river to bathe, found a group of family members on the banks, shouting in anger at each other. He turned to his disciples and asked:
‘Why do people in anger shout at each other ?’
The disciples thought for a while, and one of them said: ‘Because we lose our calm, we shout.’
‘But why should you shout when the other person is just next to you?You can just as well tell him what you have to say in a soft manner’ asked the saint.
Disciples gave some other answers but none satisfied the other disciples.
Finally, the saint explained: ‘When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot. To cover that distance they must shout to hear each other, to cover that great distance.
What happens when two people fall in love? They dont shout at each other, but talk softly, because their hearts are very close. The distance between them is either non-existent or very small…’
The saint continued, ‘When they love each other even more, what happens? They do not speak, only whisper and they get even closer to each other in their love. Finally they need not even whisper, they only look at each other and that’s all. That is how close two people are when they love each other.’
He looked at his disciples and said:’ So when you argue, do not let your hearts get distant. Do not say words that distance each other even more. Or else there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return.’
