These “scenes from an imaginary opera” (an imagined ghost opera) reveal my long-standing pre-occupation with an integration of Eastern and Western approaches in my music. Much of my music develops from the philosophy of (extreme) contrast and balance rooted in the principles of Yin and Yang. More specifically, one finds the influences of Japanese instruments such as the hichiriki (a small double reed instrument), the shakuhachi (a vertical bamboo flute), and the sho (a multiple-piped double reed instrument), which inspire the use of such devices as bending tones, control of vibrato, and dense chord clusters.
The «Prologue» reveals many of the compositional elements which are revisited in the following movements. «By The River» alludes to an imagined dramatic event, moving to a turning point near the end – a heightened emotion after a quiet and mysterious central section. The harmonies slowly but inexorably move to a quiet unison note. «Frozen Rain» is a compact movement which explores the most ephemeral of sounds. «Pursuing The Dragon», a “break-out” movement, is a flash of virtuosic intensity heading toward a finale comprised of a flurry of Chinese opera gongs.

In the United States, 38.5 million people are foreign-born, one in three arriving since 2000. Health issues include high rates of hepatitis B, humanimmunodeficiency virus infection, parasitic infections, and M. tuberculosis. We sought to determine rates of provider adherence to accepted national guidelines for immigrant and refugee health screening and vaccines done at the primary care clinics at Boston Medical Center. Randomized, retrospective chart review of foreign born patients in the primary care clinics. We found low screening and immunization rates that do not conform to CDC/ACIP guidelines. Only 43 % of immigrant patients had tuberculosis screening, 36 % were screened for HIV and hepatitis B, and 33 % received tetanus vaccinations. Organizational changes incorporating multi-disciplinary approaches such as creative use of nursing staff, protocols, standing orders, EMR reminders, and web based educational tools can contribute to better outcomes by identifying patients and improving utilization of guidelines.

DES MOINES, Iowa, Oct. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Des Moines, Iowa (DSM) based Mainframe Studios is on course to become the nation's largest affordable workspace of its kind for artists with the completion of phase one of renovations.
The space features 65 non-residential artist studios, five arts-related nonprofit offices, a commercial kitchen and a 4,700-square foot rental venue. With two more floors to renovate, the 160,000-square foot facility will feature 180 artist studios in total.
"We're excited that, once complete, Mainframe Studios will become the largest non-profit art studio building in the U.S.," said Mainframe Studios founder Justin Mandelbaum. "Des Moines already has a vibrant arts scene but by adding a further 180 artist studios in the region, we're ensuring that the arts will continue to flourish as the region grows."
Learning from firsthand experience, Mainframe Studios founder Justin Mandelbaum realized why artists continue to be priced out of neighborhoods across the nation as cities are revitalized. Landlords regularly face mounting pressure to convert their artist-occupied buildings to a "higher and better use." Mandelbaum believes he found a solution: critical mass, low pricing, a creative and collaborative environment, monthly open studio events, and most importantly a self-sustaining nonprofit structure. Mainframe Studios purchased the former CenturyLink facility at 900 Keosauqua Way in 2014 to transform it into a modern hub of creativity – one that stands the test of time, ensuring that artists are never priced out of DSM.
"Mainframe Studios is harnessing the impact creative professions have on innovation, economic growth and placemaking," said Greater Des Moines Partnership CEO Jay Byers. "The space is a great addition to Des Moines' vibrant Downtown."
Studies continue to substantiate the role creative professions have in strengthening communities. The recent Americans for the Arts' Arts and Economic Prosperity 5 report states that the arts and culture sector in DSM is a $185 million industry.
Once Mainframe Studios is fully operational, affordable studio rental rates are priced to cover operating expenses and a reserve fund, with remaining operating income to fund an endowment, eliminating the need for annual fundraising. In the meantime, Mainframe Studios is fundraising to pay for building acquisition and renovation costs. Halfway to its goal of $12M, the nonprofit's vision is resonating with funders. The Lauridsen Family Endowment recently contributed a lead gift of $1M.
A standard studio is priced at $7.00 per square foot per year plus utilities with some artists paying as little as $114 per month for space. The waiting list for the next phase of renovations is growing.
An inaugural open studio event is scheduled for Saturday, October 21, from 2:00 to 6:00 pm. The public is invited to discover the talent of its artists representing 24 art disciplines.
About Mainframe Studios
Mainframe Studios is a 501(c)3 nonprofit whose mission is to provide permanent affordable workspace to artists of all disciplines. We are transforming Central Iowa's art scene by creating a financially self-sustaining economic and cultural driver, serving as a national model that stands the test of time. Open since August 2017, our nonprofit is exceeding expectations in revealing local hidden talent, delivering remarkable building renovations and affordability, attracting new residents, fostering collaborations and ensuring artists never get priced out of Des Moines.

I just posted up a question about the wiring in my engine compartment, but I need some special help with the Alternator.
The CS144 I am using is from a '94 caddy that is putting out 140 amps. I chose this particular model as suggested over at ifsja.org because the engine I am using is from a FSJ and it has the correct clocking.
So having reviewed the wiring diagram in my Hayes book for 80-83 models, I have developed the following questions:
1. From the alternator plug, the brown wire #78 connects to position 75A on the fuse panel on the engine side. On the passenger side of the fuse panel it is again call 78 and runs to the ignition switch. I am using the NAPA adapter EC82 which is supposed to have the correct resistance. Can I run the wire #78 directly to position 75A from the adapter plug?
2. From the alternator plug, the gauge 10 wire #12E connects to the starter solenoid on the positive side. Does this wire require a fusible link and if so what size?
3. Having searched here and other places about installing a CS144, a new wire is needed to connect the back of the alternator to the positive side of the starter solenoid, #12. It has been suggested that a gauge 2 wire is needed to handle the amperage. Also a fusible link is needed in this wire and I am wondering what size fusible link?
4. Finally from the positive side of the starter solenoid a gauge 10 wire runs to the fuse panel to position 12G. According to Haynes, this wire also requires a fusible link and I would like to know what size?
Again I am a complete electrical novice and if what I have asked above makes no sense, please help me figure out what I should be asking.

Funny in Farsi: A Memoir of Growing Up Iranian in Americaby Firoozeh Dumas
Synopses & Reviews
In 1972, when she was seven, Firoozeh Dumas and her family moved from Iran to Southern California, arriving with no firsthand knowledge of this country beyond her father's glowing memories of his graduate school years here. More family soon followed, and the clan has been here ever since.
Funny in Farsi chronicles the American journey of Dumas's wonderfully engaging family: her engineer father, a sweetly quixotic dreamer who first sought riches on Bowling for Dollars and in Las Vegas, and later lost his job during the Iranian revolution; her elegant mother, who never fully mastered English (nor cared to); her uncle, who combated the effects of American fast food with an army of miraculous American weight-loss gadgets; and Firoozeh herself, who as a girl changed her name to Julie, and who encountered a second wave of culture shock when she met and married a Frenchman, becoming part of a one-couple melting pot.
In a series of deftly drawn scenes, we watch the family grapple with American English (hot dogs and hush puppies — a complete mystery), American traditions (Thanksgiving turkey? — an even greater mystery, since it tastes like nothing), and American culture (Firoozeh's parents laugh uproariously at Bob Hope on television, although they don't get the jokes even when she translates them into Farsi).
Above all, this is an unforgettable story of identity, discovery, and the power of family love. It is a book that will leave us all laughing — without an accent.
"A humorous and introspective chronicle of a life filled with love — of family, country, and heritage." Jimmy Carter
"Dumas has a unique perspective on American culture, and she effortlessly balances the comedy of her family's misadventures with the more serious prejudices they face." Kristine Huntley, Booklist
"Today, as Middle Easterners in the United States are subject to racial profiling, stereotyping, and sometimes violence, this book provides a valuable glimpse into the immigrant experiences of one very entertaining family." Library Journal
"At all times, no matter how heavy the subject matter, Dumas keeps her tone light....Warm and engaging, despite some creaky prose." Kirkus Reviews
"The best parts will make readers laugh out loud....Despite unevenness, Dumas's first book remains a warm, witty and sometimes poignant look at cross-cultural misunderstanding and family life." Publishers Weekly
A warm, affectionate, and frequently hilarious memoir of growing up Iranian-American in Southern California. Funny in Farsi is above all an unforgettable story of identity, discovery, and the power of family love. It is a book that will leave readers laughing — without an accent.
The warm memoir follows the lives of brothers Deepak and Sanjiv Chopra, who left a comfortable life in post-war India to develop their professional skills in America, both achieving success following in their fatherand#8217;s footsteps as healersand#8212;Deepak as bestselling author, physician, and speaker, and Sanjiv as professor of medicine and faculty dean for continuing medical education at Harvard Medical School.
In Brotherhood, Deepak and Sanjiv Chopra reveal the story of their personal struggles and triumphs as doctors, immigrants, and brothers. They were born in the ferment of liberated India after 1947, as an age-old culture was reinventing its future. For the young, this meant looking to the West.
The Chopra brothers were among the most eager and ambitious of the new generation. In the 1970s, they each emigrated to the United States to make a new life. Both faced tough obstacles: While Deepak encountered resistance from Western-trained doctors over the mind-body connection, Sanjiv struggled to reconcile the beliefs of his birthplace with those of his new home.
Eventually, each brother became convinced that America was the right place to build a life, and the Chopras went on to great achievementsand#8212;Deepak as a global spiritual teacher and best-selling author, Sanjiv as a world-renowned medical expert and professor at Harvard Medical School.
Brotherhood will fascinate and inspire those who still believe in Americaand#8217;s capacity to foster achievement and reward hard work.

Convenience stores are used to adapting when the rules change, and the last two years have shown that retailers are fantastic at changing swiftly to ensure that their business can continue trading effectively, not just through the restrictions forced by the pandemic but also significant recent developments like the introduction of Natasha’s Law and fuel grade changes on forecourts. As we now hopefully look beyond any issues in stores associated with the pandemic in 2022, preparation has begun for the next big shift in the way that we can set out our stores and promote products to customers as we count down to the introduction of HFSS restrictions in October.
This legislation, which aims to restrict the location and promotion of over a dozen product categories, will affect thousands of stores and will require many to carry out a fundamental rethink of their strategy and the way that their store is laid out. The rules on both where you can put products and which promotions are allowed are complicated, so it’s crucial that you know you’re going to be on the right side of the law come October, because the enforcement community are going to be looking at this issue specifically when they’re out visiting stores (it’s not confirmed yet whether they’ll be bringing a tape measure with them, but it’s not outside the realm of possibility).
The good news is that there are exemptions for stores with a relevant floor space of under 2000 sq ft, and for those with fewer than 50 employees, but as with everything, it’s not quite that simple. The Government’s intention is to include symbol and franchise stores within the rules, so the ’50 employees’ definition could include everyone working in stores under a symbol fascia. This is a live issue right now so if you’re a symbol retailer contact your group for clarity on whether you’re included.
We’ve been working on this issue since its inception several years ago, and have now launched a comprehensive guide for retailers which details every step of the process to ensuring that your store is compliant. In the coming months there are likely to be more questions on interpretations of tiny details of the rules, and we’ll be covering those as well through our partnership with Surrey and Bucks Trading Standards. If you think there’s a chance that you’re going to be in scope of these regulations, our guidance can help. Just go to ACS.org.uk to download the guide, and get in touch at firstname.lastname@example.org, or on Twitter @ACS_localshops with any questions.

First off, a little background about me and what I do:
Up until this past year me and my husband were college students, so we would work during the summer and then head back to school in the Fall. Our college also has a different schedule than most. We start later (end of September) and get out early in (April) because it is on track system. Which also allowed us to have more time to travel.
We were also required to travel for the company we used to work for while we were in college. We live on the west coast of the U.S. and the cities we would go work in were on the east coast. This gave us the excuse to not only make 2 cross country road trips per year, but we would also be living in a different city every summer. We’ve lived South Carolina, New Jersey, Maryland, and Florida while working for this company.
While working for them, we would always try and take advantage of being able to live in a completely different city and really get to know the area. We would also visit nearby places on our weekends.
However recently, Mitchell just got a more stable 9-5 position while I am doing freelancing and actually now get paid to travel as a travel blogger. So, I see a lot more solo trips in my future!
Ok so now that you know a little bit more about me and my lifestyle here are my tips/ how I’ve been able to afford travel:
TIP #1: Travel to where is convenient
When I travel I usually go to places I have family I can stay with. That cuts the cost of hotels and food. I have family all over California and Portugal so when I go home I make the most of my visit and explore as much as I can. Also, like I mentioned above we had to travel for work so we made it a priority to explore on weekends, etc.
But you can do the same even if you don’t have family in the area. There are often free campsites you can stay at or hostiles for inexpensive. You just have to do your research!
TIP #2: Make travel a priority
Like anything you want out of life you have to set your priorities. You want to be fit? You have to exercise and eat clean. You want those new shoes? You have to save and sacrifice other items you could’ve bought with that money.
It’s the same with travel. Everyone can travel it just isn’t a big enough priority to them. Think about how much money you would save if you just didn’t eat out an entire month? Just make small sacrifices like skipping out on restaurants, new clothes/ makeup and I promise you will have enough!
TIP #3: Travel on a budget
The way I travel is definitely not glamorous by any means. In my opinion I’d rather not stay in the nicest place and make my own food while traveling than not go at all.
Traveling on a budget also means you can travel for longer periods. That dollar will go much longer if you are willing to cut costs. There are plenty of times where I haven’t had enough money to even spend money on a hotel so I camped on the beach. This may not be for everyone but it’s all about how bad you want something.
TIP #4: Find the best airfare prices
Sometimes it isn’t where you go, it’s just that you go. I’m always looking up airline tickets and seeing where I can go for the least amount of money. Pretty much everywhere is on my travel list so I’m down to go where ever is cheapest. Of course, I have a top 3 bucket list destination, but I know I’ll get there eventually. In the mean time I’ll go where I can afford.
When you purchase your tickets also plays a big role in the price. The best time to purchase is 9 months or 6 weeks prior. That’s when airlines adjust their prices (tip from my dad who is a travel agent).
Some sites I love to use to book travel are google flights, kayak, hopper, and booking.com (let me know in the comments if you have others you love to use)
TIP #5: Travel in the shoulder season
Travel is not only cheaper in the shoulder seasons, but it’s also less crowded and the weather is usually more mild. What’s not to love about that?! I definitely take advantage of the shoulder seasons, (Fall and Spring) and are by far my favorite times to travel.
Those my best tips on how I afford to travel. I would love to know what your thoughts are and if you any tips to add. Let me know below!

NIGHT OF THE CREEPS / TriStar Pictures, Delphi V Productions - 1986
Welcome to The Dungeon!.. Here's a wild and weird movie from writer/director Fred Dekker, it's all about alien brain parasites that turn their hosts into killer zombies. Filmed in the San Fernando Valley, specifically at my old stomping ground, Northridge. I even experienced the uncanny Northridge quake in 1994... YOW!
Here's a nice little sound clip from this creepy crawly sci-fi flick, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button located there by our Dungeon Creep, NOW, Ralphie The Tarantula!.. Here's... NIGHT OF THE CREEPS!
So, here's the canister full of brain parasites ejected from an alien ship as it heads to Earth.
Okay, it's the year 1959 and "Teen Beat," my favorite song from that year (I was age 11) is playing on the radio, as heard in the sound clip!
This couple at Lover's Lane watches as the fiery canister of brain worms crashes to Earth.
Flash to the present... Our teen heroes just walk into the mad lab at Cal State Northridge (?) and find this guy in suspended animation just hanging around.
The policeman who found this scene in 1959 has a present day flashback in dying color. I swear, if I was a long haired zombie I'd look like this handsome guy here!
Here's yer gratuitous topless shot, female stars in 1986 were required to show their wares!
The people at the lab are so focused on work that they don't even notice this parasite laden dude get up and walk out the door, naked and noticed by none!
Alright!!.. PLAN 9 is playing on the local channel, get the kids!
The parasite is out of the bag and the cops bring out the big guns!..
Problem is, shoot a zombie in the head and out pop a brain full of parasites. To me, the effects guys didn't take enough time to make the dummy look more realistic.
Jason Lively is the hero, seen here torching parasites dressed in formal attire with a carnation.
Why take a chance, burn the whole freakin' place down! USA!.. USA!
But, quess what?.. This pooch is spitting out parasites to start the fun all over!
Here's a very cool faux EC comic cover with a nice zombie portrait!.. Tune in again on Wednesday when we continue down the track aboard The Dungeon Express!

Almost two years after a Philadelphia jury acquitted him of murdering a police officer he shot and wounded almost a half-century earlier, William J. Barnes, 75, will soon be paroled.
Thursday afternoon, the Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole ordered Barnes paroled, said defense attorney Samuel W. Silver, although it is not known when he will be released from the state prison at Graterford in Montgomery County, where he has been housed.
Silver, who led a team of lawyers from the Center City firm of Schnader, Harrison, Segal & Lewis L.L.P., which represented Barnes without charge, said one of his associates called Barnes after getting word of the parole board's decision and described Barnes as "very pleased but also at the point of getting emotional."
Tasha Jamerson, spokeswoman for District Attorney Seth Williams, said the office would not comment on the parole decision. In fact, the city prosecutor's office has not been involved in the Barnes case since May 24, 2010, when a Common Pleas Court jury acquitted Barnes of murder in the death of police Officer Walter T. Barclay.
Barnes would have good reason to be skeptical about the parole. He was already paroled once, in 2006, after serving 16 years of a 20-year sentence for shooting and wounding Barclay, a 23-year-old rookie, during a 1966 burglary of an East Oak Lane beauty salon.
When Barclay - whom the shooting had turned into a paraplegic - died of an infection in August 2007 at age 64, the District Attorney's Office ordered Barnes arrested on murder charges. Authorities found that Barnes, who was free and working at a Roxborough supermarket, had a cellphone and car keys - violations of his parole - and he was returned to prison.
The trial two years ago was a fascinating examination of causation: Did Barnes' bullet inexorably lead to Barclay's death 41 years later?
City prosecutors argued yes, and experts from the city Medical Examiner's Office opined that the fatal bladder infection was a common result of the paralysis that would not have afflicted Barclay had Barnes not shot him.
The defense never disputed that Barnes shot and paralyzed Barclay. But Silver challenged how the prosecution medical experts could directly link the 1966 gunshot wound to the urinary tract infection and blood poisoning that eventually killed Barclay.
Three car accidents and two wheelchair accidents, Silver argued, helped accelerate the deterioration of Barclay's health. Silver also cited hospital records that mentioned alleged physical abuse from 2001 to 2003, during which time Barclay had live-in caretakers in his Levittown home.
The records noted that Barclay had complained that the boarders kept him confined in his room, underfed him to the point that he developed scurvy, and left him unwashed and sitting in his own waste.
Barclay contracted incurable bedsores. He went into a nursing home and died four years later.
But the acquittal did not result in Barnes' release from prison. Silver and his team filed a federal lawsuit against the state parole board contending that Barnes' due process rights were being violated.
The parole board fought back, and Barnes, who has a history of heart problems, remained in a cell at Graterford.
In February, U.S. Magistrate Judge Timothy Rice recommended that Barnes be released immediately. He wrote that Barnes has endured "a shocking pattern of arbitrary and irrational expectations, requirements, and parole denials."
As late as last week, lawyers for the parole board were filing objections and planning to contest the recommendation at a hearing this month before a federal judge.
Suddenly, this week, Silver said, the parole board conducted a new review of Barnes' case and then, Thursday, ordered that he be paroled.
"It's been a long road," Silver said.

Right, I have had a little more brainpower today, so had a good stab at it.
And it Works!
Running through a web browser interface on the TV didnt get me anywhere. All the included and easy to download browsers just wont load anything Local.
Side loading the Volumio app however I have had some success with, I followed these instructions, which are a compilation of what is out there already, but kept simple.
Instructions on Gatget Hacks Website Sidloading Aps to Chromecast with Google TV
I have an android phone, and used that to upload the APK to my Google Drive, which as its all Google, made it simple.
So, In Conclusion;
-Looks as expected
-App is loaded within another app
-Colours are off (is that my TV?) Very much Bright green
-moving around is hard work no consistent interaction
-Album Cover grid view looks fab
-Ablum Cover grid view is slow, and selecting it is tricky
-Large ablum & song titles cause a constant screen re-scale glitch
Not much of a surprise really. I do wonder if it would work any better if it was loaded as a webpage as it might change how the remote behaves and improve its usability.
Yes I can just use my phone etc, but I thought it would be nice to give any guests (What are they! ) another way of interacting with Volumio without an app, and I dont really want a touch display below my TV which is where the amp is.
If I knew what I was doing with an APK I would like to think much of this could be fixed without too much drama.

As a reptile owner, it is important to be aware of any changes in your pet’s behavior. One of the most concerning behaviors is when a snake keeps its mouth open. Even though this can look quite alarming, there are some perfectly reasonable explanations for why this might be happening.
If your snake’s mouth is open, it could be due to an underlying respiratory infection. It can be difficult to spot the signs of respiratory infection in snakes as they cannot sneeze or cough, but hanging out their tongue can be one of the symptoms. Common signs of a respiratory infection include cloudy eyes and difficulty breathing.
Snakes shed their skin at various points throughout their lives, as part of their growth and development process. During this time, you may notice that your snake has its mouth open more often than usual – this is because it helps loosen the old skin for easier shedding.
Snakes are ectothermic creatures, which means that they rely on external sources of heat to regulate their body temperature. If your snake is too cold, you may notice that it hangs its tongue out in an effort to warm up.
Some snakes may open their mouths as a way of coping with stress or anxiety. This could be due to changes in their environment, such as being moved to a new tank, or the introduction of a new pet into the home.
In some cases, a: snake Sn may keepsakes its mouth use open because its tongue is about to regurgitate its food. This is more common in captive snakes than detect changes in temperature as they move around the wild. snakes, By and is sticking usually caused out by over its feeding or tongue, the snake can sudden movement in the environment.
Finally, captive snakes sometimes display their mouths open behavior when they are preparing for the breeding season. As part of this process, they will often “gape” in order to mark their territory and attract potential mates.
When to Seek Veterinary Care for an Open-Mouthed Snake
When it comes to caring for your pet snake, there are a few things you should know about. One of the most important considerations is when to seek veterinary care for an open-mouthed snake. Open-mouthed snakes are those that have been observed with their mouths wide open and may be displaying signs of distress. Knowing when to seek help in such cases can be critical in getting your pet the proper care they need.
When to Seek Veterinary Care
If your pet snake has been observed with its mouth wide open for more than 15 minutes at a time or if they continue to display this behavior despite environmental changes, it is best to seek veterinary attention immediately. Additionally, if your pet snake appears lethargic, has lost weight rapidly or is vomiting frequently these can be indicators of serious health issues that require immediate medical attention from a veterinarian.
Signs of Improvement or Deterioration
In order to monitor how well your pet snake responds to treatment it is important to keep track of any changes in behavior including whether the open-mouth breathing has improved or deteriorated over time. In addition, it is helpful to monitor their eating habits, drinking habits, and energy level throughout each day as these can provide insight into overall health status. If there are notable changes for the worse please seek immediate veterinary care as soon as possible.
One of the best ways to ensure that your pet snake remains healthy is through proper husbandry practices such as providing them with clean water on a regular basis, regular handling, and interaction with humans and providing with adequate nutrition including fresh food items such as crickets and rodents dusted with calcium supplements as needed. Additionally maintaining optimal environmental temperatures between 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit will help reduce stress levels and prevent excessive shedding which could potentially lead to an open-mouth episode.
What Kind of Nutritional Deficiencies Could Lead To an Open Snakes Mouth?
It is not uncommon for snakes to have an open mouth, often referred to as “gaping.” While gaping may be a response to stress or a sign of illness, it can also be caused by nutritional deficiencies. When snakes do not receive the proper nutrition, their bodies cannot function as intended and the result can be seen in behaviors such as gaping. In order to understand what kind of nutritional deficiencies could lead to an open snake’s mouth, it is important to first understand snake nutrition.
Basics of Snake Nutrition
Snakes are carnivorous animals and their diets consist primarily of rodents and other small mammals like lizards, frogs, and birds. In captivity, they typically consume pre-killed mice or rats that have been frozen and thawed prior to feeding. In order for a snake’s diet to be nutritionally complete, it must receive all essential vitamins and minerals on a regular basis. These include vitamins A, D3 (calciferol), E (tocopherol), K (menadione), B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B6 (pyridoxine), B12 (cyanocobalamin), folic acid, pantothenic acid, niacin, choline, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sulfur, sodium chloride iodine, bromide, and selenium. Additionally, certain species may need vitamin C supplementation if kept in captivity for long periods of time due to their lack of natural prey items.
Nutritional Deficiencies That Lead To Gaping
Inadequate levels of any one or more essential vitamins or minerals can result in various symptoms including gaping. Common deficiencies that lead to gaping include low levels of Vitamin A, Calcium & Phosphorous ratios being out of balance, vitamin D deficiency due to inadequate exposure to UVB lighting when kept indoors, magnesium deficiency due to improperly formulated rodent diets, and inadequately balanced supplements containing too much calcium or phosphorus relative to the other nutrients needed by the snake’s body. Poor nutrition can also cause weight loss which can then reduce muscle mass leading to lethargy as well as respiratory issues in some species which can contribute to gasping behavior.
Gaping is often caused by nutritional deficiencies in snakes. To keep your pet healthy it is essential that you provide them with a balanced diet containing all essential vitamins and minerals on a regular basis as well as appropriate access to ultraviolet lighting when kept indoors. If your snake begins showing signs of gaping it could be indicative of vitamin or mineral imbalances so it is important that you take them to see an exotic veterinarian right away for further evaluation and treatment options if necessary.
Understanding why your snake may be keeping its mouth open is important so that you can take steps to address any underlying issues. If you are ever concerned about your pet’s health or well-being, it is always best to seek help from a qualified veterinarian or reptile expert.

‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ movie postponed
A Valentine’s Day release for “Fifty Shades” is fitting for the erotic romance, but it also moves it out of the lucrative summer movie-going months.

NEW YORK—The release of the big-screen adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey has been postponed until 2015.
The film had been scheduled to open in August next year, but Universal Pictures announced Wednesday that it will now debut on Valentine’s Day in 2015.
The production of Fifty Shades of Grey has not gone according to plan. Sons of Anarchy star Charlie Hunnam dropped out of the project shortly after his high-profile casting as billionaire Christian Grey. Jamie Dornan replaced him, and the start of production was pushed from November to December.
A Valentine’s Day release is fitting for the erotic romance, but it also moves the film out of the lucrative summer movie-going months. February is often a dumping ground for Hollywood’s less prestigious releases.

Two former European Cup winners meet in Lisbon as Benfica welcome Liverpool, who have a formidable recent record in Portugal, in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final.
• While Benfica are in the last eight for the first time in six seasons – and have gone no further since 1990, losing all four of their previous UEFA Champions League quarter-finals – Liverpool have reached this stage for the fourth time in five years, although their 2020/21 campaign ended at the same juncture.
• The English club won their first seven games in this season’s competition, a run ended by a defeat at home by Inter in the round of 16 second leg. Benfica, by contrast, have recorded only three victories in their eight outings since Matchday 1, although they edged out Ajax in the first knockout round.
• This is one of two quarter-finals between former European Cup winners, Chelsea’s tie against Real Madrid the other.
• The winners of this tie will play Villarreal or Bayern München in the semi-finals.
• The most recent of the sides’ last ten meetings came in the 2009/10 UEFA Europa League quarter-finals, when Benfica came from behind to win 2-1 in the Lisbon first leg before Liverpool turned round the tie with a 4-1 victory at Anfield in which Fernando Torres scored twice. Óscar Cardozo was on target in both legs for the Portuguese side.
• Benfica ended Liverpool’s reign as UEFA Champions League holders in the 2005/06 round of 16. Luisão, now a club director, scored the only goal of the first leg in Lisbon six minutes from time before Simão (36) and Fabrizio Miccoli (89) secured a 2-0 win on Merseyside.
• The sides’ other three ties all came in the European Cup, and all in campaigns in which Liverpool went on to reach the final. In 1984/85 Ian Rush’s hat-trick in the second round first leg proved crucial as Liverpool won 3-1, progressing despite a 1-0 loss at Benfica; the Reds finished as runners-up to Juventus in that season’s competition.
• Rush had also scored in both legs of the 1983/84 quarter-final between the clubs, the English side winning 1-0 at home and 4-1 away, Ronnie Whelan scoring twice in Portugal, and going on to beat Roma in the final.
• Holders Liverpool beat Benfica in the 1977/78 quarter-finals en route to retaining the trophy, a 2-1 away win preceding a 4-1 home victory. That was their first tie against Portuguese opponents.

Following Buick’s current design language, the Verano features a waterfall grille flanked by blue translucent projector beam headlamps not unlike the units used on the larger Regal. Retro-flavored porthole vents mounted on the hood complete the Verano’s front end.
A steeply-raked windshield and fast-sloping rear pillars are intended to give the Verano a decidedly sporty look, culminating in a rear end that is fairly unique within the Buick lineup. However, some might not agree with Buick’s decision to use chrome accents on the rear taillights.
The Verano’s cabin continues the theme of luxury and elegance, featuring a flowing dash and center stack along with plenty of pleasant materials. All Veranos come standard with Buick’s IntelliLink infotainment system, which provides voice command smartphone access in addition to streaming audio through Pandora and Stitcher SmartRadio. A number of other premium features are optional, including a heated steering wheel, heated front seats and touch screen navigation.

So convenient from the Channel Tunnel and although only 30 minutes away you feel as though we are in the middle of France. Excellent value and comfort as well as great hospitality.
We stayed here 10 years ago and although I understand standards dipped a little in the interim it is now back to how we remembered it when we first stayed here as Le Vert Mesnil
A great stopping off point going south, en route to Paris or just a good location to explore Normandy and Pas de Calais

NY Supreme Court ruling could make outdoor dining permanent in NYC
A new ruling by the state Supreme Court is making way for the city’s Open Restaurants program to be around for the future, allowing outdoor dining structures to stay up after the program expires.
The program has been around since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 as an effort for restaurants to survive.
“If we didn’t have outdoor dining, we’d be out of business,” said Charlotta Janssen, owner of Che Oskar in Bedford-Stuyvesant. “It’s been our survival… it’s everything that helped us, and we were able to get our employees back.”
In a two-page decision, a judge found that the plaintiffs, a group of New Yorkers from across the city, brought the lawsuit too early, since the city has yet to make the program permanent.
“Noise, pedestrian access, the commercial landscape of the streets... There’s a list of all of these things that under law they have to look at, and they didn’t look at those things,” said Leslie Clark of Cue Up-NYC, a coalition that opposes the Open Restaurants program.
There is currently a bill in City Council that could make the program permanent.
The New York City Department of Transportation’s website says that a permanent Open Restaurants program could start as soon as next year.

Delray Beach Communities
Hailing from humble roots during the pioneer era, Delray Beach is known as a quaint seaside town with a beautiful bent for art and literature. Located in the southeast section of Palm Beach County, the charming city is characterized by its brick-paved roads, clean beaches, cultural aptitude, and ample amenities. Area attractions such as Sandoway House and Nature Center, Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens, and Cornell Museum of Art and American Culture make it a popular place for tourists to vacation, and scenic parks such as Pompey Park, Miller Park, and Veterans’ Park, make it a popular place for families to permanently call home. Residents and visitors alike enjoy the exquisite golf courses, sensational offshore and inshore fishing opportunities, ongoing art exhibits and festivals, continuous concerts at Old School Square and outdoor amphitheaters, and the laid-back, hipster vibe of the creative city.
Real estate in Delray Beach is just as eccentric as the town itself. From historic homes and beachfront mansions to art-deco style cottages and golf course condos, the city has a community befitting all ages and lifestyles. Golf enthusiasts gravitate toward established communities such as Delaire Country Club, St. Andrews, Polo Trace, and Addison Reserve, all of which boast championship golf courses, tennis courts, exercise facilities, and well-appointed clubhouses. Meanwhile, angler aficionados appreciate the waterfront lifestyle at boat-friendly communities such as Yacht Club Condos, Del Harbour, and Waterway Lane. For folks who desire an urbanscape property, downtown Delray has several single family homes, townhomes, and condos, many of which are within walking distance to bustling Atlantic Avenue. Residents of all communities equally embrace both the opulence and quirkiness of the city, and they celebrate its diverse demographics.
Clearly, the city has a reputation for marrying its humble history, celebrating its cultural creativity, and protecting its natural beauty. These are just a few reasons why more and more people opt to call Delray Beach home.

Last month, the SBA moved to edit its regulations, taking a red pen to its current rules governing Small Disadvantaged Businesses (or SDBs), as described in the Federal Register. This blog post will highlight what the new rule will mean for current SDBs—and how businesses can become eligible for SDB subcontractor status under the new rule. While the SDB program is still alive and kicking, the rules will be simplified to eliminate a lot of language that is simply no longer applicable.Continue reading
Update 5/14/2020: Since this post was originally published, SBA’s website has clarified when SBA Certification will be available and when Self-Certification will end. The post has been updated to reflect this information.
On Monday, the Small Business Administration will publish a Final Rule updating the certification methods for businesses applying for and participating in the Women-Owned Small Business program. The new Rule will also impose new thresholds for demonstrating economic disadvantage, impacting applicants not only for the WOSB program, but also the 8(a) Business Development program.Continue reading
SBA sometimes makes mistakes in the 8(a) application process, but the appeals process may be able to remedy those miscues. Recently, an applicant appealed the SBA’s denial of her 8(a) status based on net worth. She argued that the SBA Area Office had double counted the value of her rental property, which automatically disqualified her from being found economically disadvantaged. SBA’s Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) agreed and remanded the denial decision.Continue reading
OHA recently affirmed the 8(a) status denial of a 100% woman-owned small business performing in the historically male-dominated renewable energy field. The applicant—who SBA called an “advocate” and “mentor” to women in the industry—detailed specific instances of gender-based-discrimination that plagued her education, employment, and career. But SBA was unmoved, instead focusing its analysis on the applicant’s triumph over these obstacles—apparently an indication that she was not socially disadvantaged in the first place. Unfortunately, this perplexing holding does fall in line with many past SBA denials of women-owned companies for 8(a) status.Continue reading
If you’re a small business owner interested in government contracts, you’ve probably heard about the SBA’s 8(a) Business Development Program. The 8(a) Program itself is complex, but its potential benefits are tremendous. In this post, I’ll break down some of the very basics about the 8(a) Program, leaving some of its complexities for upcoming posts.
Let’s get to it: here are five things you should know about the 8(a) Program.
To be eligible to participate in the 8(a) Business Development Program, an applicant firm must be a small business that is at least 51% owned and controlled by a socially- and economically-disadvantaged individual (or individuals) who are of good character and citizen(s) of the United States. The firm, moreover, must show a potential for success.
The Small Business Administration’s internal watchdog (the Office of Inspector General, or OIG) recently raised its continuing concerns regarding the admission of several entities to the 8(a) Program. The OIG’s report is worth reading, as it may lead to changes in the 8(a) Program’s eligibility criteria.

Advanced Compound Coating for Delaying Corrosion of Fast-Dissolving Alloy in High Temperature and Corrosive Environment
Fasting dissolving magnesium (DM) alloy technology has contributed significantly to the “Shale Revolution” in oil and gas industry. This application requires DM downhole tools dissolving initially at a slow rate, rapidly accelerating to a high rate after certain period of operation time (typically 8 h to 2 days), a contradicting requirement that can hardly be addressed by traditional Mg alloying or processing itself. Premature disintegration has been broadly reported in downhole DM tool from field trials. To address this issue, “temporary” thin polymers of various formulations are currently coated onto DM surface to delay its initial dissolving. Due to conveying parts, harsh downhole condition, and high dissolving rate of the base material, the current delay coatings relying on pure polymers are found to perform well only at low temperature (typical < 100 ℃) and parts without sharp edges or corners, as severe geometries prevent high quality thin film coatings from forming effectively. In this study, a coating technology combining Plasma Electrolytic Oxide (PEO) coatings with advanced thin film deposition has been developed, which can delay DM complex parts (with sharp corners) in corrosive fluid at 150 ℃ for over 2 days. Synergistic effects between porous hard PEO coating and chemical inert elastic-polymer sealing leads to its delaying dissolution improvement, and strong chemical/physical bonding between these two layers has been found to play essential role. Microstructure of this advanced coating and compatibility between PEO and various polymer selections has been thoroughly investigated and a model is also proposed to explain its delaying performance. This study could not only benefit oil and gas industry to unplug their High Temperature High Pressure (HTHP) unconventional resources inaccessible before, but also potentially provides a technical route for other industries (e.g., bio-medical, automobile, aerospace) where primer anti-corrosive protection on light Mg alloy is highly demanded.
