Disliked by the Trend the globe and liked by the outer globe the fleece Jacket is probably one of the greatest radical changes in outdoor outfits. This blog is not about the types of fleeces discovered in shops; it’s a look at the specialized kind of fleece Jacket – an outdoor outfits – discovered in sports and outdoor wear shops.
The fleeces available these days are far from the original fleeces that were essence like a jumper. When fleece Jacket were first available they were a trend in outdoor wear, in comparison it’s forerunner – wool and multiple layers, however it did have two significant disadvantages – the fleece Jacket was not at all windproof and neither was it water resistant. That said one of the big benefits of fleece Jacket is that when they do get wet they dry out amazingly easily. Most individuals desired a Jacket that could do all things though and it was this that led to the release of multilayered Jackets where the fleece Jacket would zip in to a water resistant and windproof cover.
In previous five years fleeces have become improving specialized and with the developments in breathable components have become windproof and waterproof. Although better from a features perspective, this has created the fleece Jacket experience not a smooth as it used to as the material has some rigidity to it – but I think you cannot have everything.
One of the big aspects that provided to the reputation of the fleece Jacket was its comfort to bodyweight rate. They are really mild and can be packed down very small and this intended that they were a welcome boost to any hikers backpack or day bag.
The kind of fleece Jacket you select to buy will be very reliant on what you want it for, if you only want it simply to walk the dog, it’s unlikely that you will be too worried about the dimension it, if you do mountain climbing, runs marathons the bodyweight and loaded dimension will probably be one of the most crucial features on your list.

Rapper Kodak Black will enter a drug rehabilitation facility later this month at the order of Judge Barbara Duffy of Boward Country, Florida. The judge, who made the ruling on Tuesday, said the rapper could remain free until after his appearance at the March 7 California iteration of Rolling Loud. While awaiting trial for charges relating to drug trafficking, the 25-year-old tested positive for fentanyl in a drug test.
“You better get it together,” the judge told the rapper when he appeared in court this week, according to Associated Press. An arrest warrant was issued on Feb. 26 after Black missed a court-ordered drug test early last month, only to test positive days later.
More from Rolling Stone
During the hearing, the drug lab technician who took the sample admitted that there was a less than zero percent chance that he mixed up Black’s sample or paperwork. The rapper’s lawyer, Bradford Cohen, was the first to suggest that the technician was too starstruck to keep his professionalism in order.
The defense declined to have Black tested via a hair sample, which could surface instances of drug use as far back as 90 days. Urine and blood tests, in comparison, detect much more recent drug use.
Black was first arrested in relation to his drug trafficking charges in July 2022 following a traffic stop in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. A search of his vehicle revealed he was in possession of 31 oxycodone pills and almost $75,000 in cash.
He was released on a $75,000 bond after being charged with a felony one charge of trafficking oxycodone, and a lesser charge of possession of a controlled substance. He has pled not guilty to the trafficking charge.
In January 2021, President Donald Trump commuted the rapper’s 46-month prison sentence for falsifying information on federal forms to buy firearms on his last full day in office. He previously served seven months in a Florida prison on charges of marijuana possession, child neglect, grand theft of a firearm, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Black has also been previously charged with weapons possession, armed robbery, sexual assault, probation violations, and fleeing from officers.

Searching for a mezuzah trace in Przemyśl for our “Mezuzah from this Home”* collection we saw an untouched metal plate, typical for pre-war mezuzahs. With the permission of the owner of the building, we opened the mezuzah and found an original mezuzah scroll. The scroll was found in time. In spring 2015 the front part of the building will be completly rennovated.
The last Jewish owners of the building were Kreszower and Lakser. The scroll was examined by a conservationist from the National Museum in Warsaw. Now it is kept in Mi Polin studio waiting for the right way to present it. It is the 4th known mezuzah scroll that was found in Poland last years. Date of discovery: 27.12.2014
Enclosed is a non kosher copy of the original found mezuzah scroll from Przemyśl.
Reduced size of scroll copy fits to Mezuzah with Menorah, Mezuzah with Crown, bronze mezuzahs from Warszawa, Kraków and Dynów. Original size of mezuzah scroll copy fits to Braille Mezuzah and rest of bronze casts from Mezuzah from this Home serie.
* „Mezuzah from this Home” is a collection of new mezuzahs which are bronze casts of mezuzah traces found in old Jewish buildings. To learn more visit page about “Mezuzah from this Home”

The informal monthly meeting of knuckle-dragging Neanderthal New England bloggers was held in Cambridge MA today. The unusual venue was chosen to take advantage of former Iranian president Mohammad Khatami’s visit to Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. We did not attempt to get tickets for the lecture, which was to feature the fruits of Ayatollah Khatami’s lucubrations on Tolerance. Perhaps when Madonna comes to lecture on personal modesty, or Donald Trump on humility, or Bernie Ebbers on business ethics, we will try harder.
The protest against Khatami’s visit was remarkable. It was a revolt of the reasonable, and the participants seemed to be trying hard to avoid inconveniencing anyone. They did not block the entrance; instead, they assembled farther down the street where the sidewalk widened into a little brick-laid park, right next to the semi-organic farm stand. There was a cordon of Cambridge policemen (no women) in their special black uniforms, but they were quite unnecessary. The speaker used a bullhorn, but the volume was set so low that it was impossible to hear her 20 feet away.
Pictures and a little commentary on the extended link. Flickr is having issues, so check back for more pictures later.
The bloggers included Teresa of Technicalities, Miss Kelly, Steve from Pardon my English, Jay from Accidental Verbosity, Richard Landes from the Augean Stables, the organizer and motive force, Sol of Solomonia, and a couple of familiar faces I just couldn’t place:
The Boston Globe article described the protest as being student-led, but students seemed to be a minority.
The speaker had a portable PA system, but it was inaudible. Not that this travesty required much comment.
There were, of course, protest babes. It’s nice to see common sense so well represented.
There were a few well-behaved moonbats. They seemed to attract more than their share of TV reporters. The Molotov-Ribbentrop treaty was apparently more than a fluke, as the enduring affection the Left holds for fascists demonstrates.
The crowd was relaxed and peaceable. A few signs appeared to have been prepared ahead of time; most looked like they were done on impulse. Most of the protesters would not have looked out of place at a suburban Tee-ball game.
Teresa says the fellow in the center with the sign is talk-show host Michael Graham. Graham got fired from a DC-area radio station for saying bad things about Muslims, which is apparently ever so much worse than saying bad things about Americans or Jews. That only gets you invitations from the Kennedy School of Government. Talk radio always sounds to me like the guy in Dunkin Donuts you wish would just eat his donut and shut up. Nice sign, though.
We also met Diane Covert, whose The X-Ray Project shows the results of suicide bombings through the medical records of the survivors. Her matter-of-fact presentation only makes the horror more clear.
Yet another update: the “Jay” referred to was actually Viper1. Sorry for the confusion.

Costa Rica Flag
The Costa Rica flag was formally adopted on November 27, 1906, nonetheless the blue, white, and red horizontal design of the Costa Rica flag was made and used since 1848 when the country of Costa Rica left the Central America Federation and proclaimed itself a Sovereign Republic. Pacifica Fernández, first lady and wife of President Jose Mariá Castro Madriz, designed the Costa Rica flag in 1848 inspired by the colors of the French Flag and French Revolution’s ideals of freedom, equality, and brotherhood.
The Costa Rica flag consists of five horizontal stripes with the colors, blue, white, and red. The red stripe is in the center between two white stripes, which are between two blue stripes. The stripes width is 1/6 of the total width of the flag except for the red stripe which is 2/6 of the total width of the Costa Rica flag.
Every color of the Costa Rica flag symbolizes important facets of Costa Rica. The color blue means the sky, opportunities at reach, perseverance to achieve a goal, intellectual thinking, eternity, infinity, and principles of the religious and spiritual desires.
The color white in the Costa Rica flag represents clear thinking, wisdom, happiness, power and beauty of the sky, and the inspiration of initiatives to search for new accomplishments, and the peace of Costa Rica.
The color red symbolizes the warmth of the Costa Rican people, their love of life, the blood they shed for freedom, and their generous character.
The national flag of Costa Rica or the state and war flag or the “Pabellón Nacional” includes the Coat of Arms of Costa Rica, and symbolizes the country and is used by public private buildings such as schools, public offices, foreign missions, government offices, and merchant ships. The Coat of Arms of Costa Rica portrays an important overview of the nation; the two ships on any side represent the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, both of which edge Costa Rica. They also stand for the maritime history of the country. The three mountains signify the three main mountain ranges of Costa Rica, and set to demonstrate the location of the country relative to the two bodies of sea. The existing coat of arms has seven stars that represent the seven provinces of Costa Rica. The old coat of arms had five stars that represented the nations that had made up the United States of Central America in the early 19th century. The nation’s name is on the white banner at the top of the shield and above this is a blue scroll that says “Central America”.
For civil activities or parties, the people use the national flag without the coat of arms printed on the center of the red strip called “Bandera”.

Water-saving strategies for Auckland and Hibiscus Coast homesWater is a precious resource, and now that summer has eventually arrived, conserving water has become increasingly important. If you want a way to gauge your water footprint, Watercare Auckland has a great tool on their website. It takes less than five minutes to find out where you use water and where you can make changes. If you can reduce the water footprint at your place, you will save your cash and the planet at the same time. So, let’s explore some effective water-saving practices that we can help you with.
Fixing leaks: The first step to efficient water flow
Two major factors that contribute to water wastage are the flow rate and undetected leaks in your home.
Water flow is the rate – in litres per second – at which water comes out of your taps or showerheads. This is quite different from water pressure, which is the amount of force pushing water through the pipes.
To assess your home’s water flow rate, turn on your shower to the flow you normally use. Then, hold a bucket underneath it and measure how much water you collect in a minute. If you get more than 12 or 13 litres in a minute, you can save energy and water by calling in the FlowFix experts to install flow restrictors on taps and showers.
Restrictors come in different flow rates from four litres per minute to 16 litres per minute and are a simple yet effective solution.
For example, According to Consumer NZ, if you have an 8-minute shower every day and the shower uses 18 litres per minute, you’re using more than 52,000 litres of water a year. Reducing the flow to 6L/min would cut power costs alone by two-thirds, not to mention all that precious water.
Detecting and repairing leaks
Undetected leaks can significantly contribute to water waste. Conduct regular checks for leaks by observing your water meter. A noticeable increase overnight may indicate a leak. Regularly check all taps, both inside and outside your home. Inspect behind the dishwasher for any signs of water and, during dry weather, look for damp patches in the garden, lawn, or driveway. Listen for running water inside your home when no taps, hoses, or showers are turned on. If you detect a water leak, call one of our registered plumbers straight away.
Tips to save water in the kitchen
The kitchen is a bustling hub of daily water use, and small adjustments can make a big difference.
Mindful tap usage
Avoid leaving taps running while using the sink. Instead, fill your sink with the water needed and reuse it for various tasks.
Consider calling us to install tap aerators on kitchen taps. These simulate high pressure by dragging air through and cutting the flow of water from your tap by 50 per cent without reducing water pressure.
Skip the dish-washing
According to a study by the University of Bonn in Germany, an energy-efficient full dishwasher uses about 13 litres of water to clean 144 items. Washing the same load by hand uses about 100 litres of water on average.
Skip the pre-rinse
Modern dishwashers can effectively clean dishes without the need for pre-rinsing. If handwashing, fill the sink rather than washing under a running tap.
Water-wise cooking habits
Conscious cooking practices can further reduce water use. Use a bowl to scrub vegetables in the sink, with the water repurposed for plants. Choose cooking methods like steaming, cooking in the microwave or using a pressure cooker, which require less water.
Chilled water without waste
Keeping a jug of drinking water in the fridge eliminates the need to run the tap while waiting for cold water. This simple habit not only saves water but also means you have refreshing, ice-cold drinking water on tap.
Tips to save water in the bathroom
The bathroom is a significant contributor to household water use. At 20-30% of household use, the bathroom is an area where you can use a lot of water and easily save a lot, too.
Reducing shower time significantly impacts water consumption. Shorten your shower. Each minute you add to your shower time uses about 12 litres of water. For a household of three that extra minute costs you about $90 a year in electricity.
To help keep track of time, try using a shower timer.
Don’t just watch the shower warming up! Use a bucket in the shower to catch the water. It’s easy to carry it out to keep thirsty plants happy.
Replace older showerheads with modern, efficient alternatives. Consumer NZ tested water-efficient showerheads. They found replacing a 12-litre per minute showerhead with one that flows at eight litres can cut your hot water bill by about $150 a year while still giving you a comfortable and effective shower.
Turning off taps
Simple habits like turning off the tap while brushing teeth or shaving can save considerable amounts of water. Try rinsing your razor in a plugged sink, not running water. Leaving the tap running unnecessarily can use over five litres of water every time, while turning it off reduces this to just one litre.
Regularly check toilets for leaks, as a leaking toilet can waste about 80 litres of water per day.
For new toilet installations, consider water-efficient, dual-flush toilets. If your toilet is pre-2005 or a single-flush toilet, you could stand a full 2-litre plastic soft drink bottle in your cistern to save water every time you flush. This can save up to 5,000 litres per year.
Tips to save water in the laundry
Consider replacing top-loader washing machines with front-loaders. Front-loading machines typically use about 50% less water, making them a water-efficient choice. Use economy settings on your washing machine, and consider reducing the wash to one rinse cycle for additional water savings.
Wash full loads
Washing a full load is the most water-efficient method. If you must do a small load, ensure your machine is set to low water use.
Extend the life of your clothing and save water by washing only when necessary. If clothing shows no visible stains, consider reusing before washing.
Saving water, saving the world
You can play a significant role in water conservation by implementing mindful habits in the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry, every effort counts. And we can help you do it. From fixing leaks and upgrading toilets and appliances to installing low-flow showerheads and shower restrictors, we’re the team.
We’re also the team to help with garden irrigation and rainwater collection solutions. We can supply and install everything you need for your irrigation system: the tank, taps and pipes through to building a wooden platform to keep the tank elevated. Our plumbers have successfully installed water tanks for irrigation across the North Shore and Hibiscus Coast to many happy customers.
By incorporating these simple tips to save water into our daily routines, we contribute to a sustainable and water-efficient future for our Whangaparaoa, Hibiscus Coast, North Shore and Rodney communities.

Newspaper are another important literary source. They are very important as they capture the spirit of the time. The newspaper carry news, cartoons, letter etc. Many newspaper have kept their old edition in the form of microfilm in archives.
How could you use a newspaper as a teaching resource?
You can use a newspaper in class without learners having to read it at all. For some role play speaking activities give out props. For fidgety learners, having something to hold while they are speaking can help! For example, role play a conversation between two people over a coffee in the morning.
What are newspapers used for?
A newspaper is a publication printed on paper and issued regularly, usually once a day or once a week. It gives information and opinions about current events and news. Usually people like to read them to stay informed about their local city, state or country. Newspapers can be delivered to one’s home, by subscription.
How are newspapers used as primary sources?
Yes, in most cases. A Wall Street Journal article is a primary source only when the content is original or a first-hand account of an event. If the article describes past events or an interview, then it’s a secondary source. Is a Washington Post article a primary source?
How do you research a historical newspaper?
Historical Newspaper Research: Getting Started
- If your research is recent (1980’s to date), use the Libraries’ digital news databases.
- Google News Archive searches some newspapers back to the early 1900’s. Use keywords to search a specific newspaper. Advanced searching is recommended.
What is the history of newspaper?
The modern newspaper is a European invention. The oldest direct handwritten news sheets that circulated widely in Venice as early as 1566. These weekly news sheets were filled with information on wars and politics in Italy and Europe. The first printed newspapers were published weekly in Germany from 1609.
What is the first thing that draws our attention when we see a newspaper?
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw the attention of the concerned authorities towards the nuisance created by the use of loudspeakers. Now-a-days, the use of loudspeakers at religious places, political gatherings, marriages, etc. has become a very common sight.
How are newspaper articles used as historical evidence?
Historical evidences refer to a series of information or occurrence that happen in the past. It is obvious that to obtain such evidences, people must collect from particular sources like magazines, journals, and newspapers. There are two kinds of sources: reliable and unreliable sources.
Are there any historians who read the newspapers?
To be sure, many historians have consulted newspapers since then—traditionally for the political record—but few have recognized the wider significance of the role of the press in both reflecting and shaping society.
Why are newspapers relegated to the corner of history?
Too often in the banquet hall of history, newspapers have been relegated to the corner like country cousins or scullery maids. In fact, newspapers were shunned as historical sources by generations of historians.
Why are newspapers considered to be primary sources?
According to this concept, it does not matter if the news is false or distorted as long as readers believed it and acted on their belief. To the historian trying to understand public opinion, then newspapers become primary rather than secondary sources.


Purpose: To test the hypothesis that magnetic resonance (MR) imaging can be used to monitor both intraparenchymal injection of NaCl solution and subsequent radiofrequency ablation (RFA) within tissues pretreated with NaCl, report the low- and high-field-strength MR appearance of NaCl-enhanced RFAs, and compare MR findings with pathologic findings. Materials and Methods: Ten ex vivo calf liver specimens were injected with saturated NaCl (seven were mixed with methylene blue during MR fluoroscopic monitoring) and reexamined with fast imaging with steady-state progression (FISP), true FISP, reversed FISP (PSIF), and fast spin-echo T2-weighted MR sequences. The NaCl-to-liver contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) was calculated for various sequences, and CNRs were compared with the Student t test. Distribution on MR images was compared with the results of pathologic analysis. Forty additional in vivo monopolar RFAs were performed in paraspinal muscles of seven minipigs after animal care committee approval (10 standard control ablations, 30 were preceded by direct injection of saturated NaCl at various volumes [3-9 mL] and rates [1 or 6mL/min]). Postablation low-field-strength (n = 20) and high-field-strength (n = 20) MR examinations consisted of T2-weighted imaging, short inversion time inversion-recovery (STIR) imaging, and contrast material-enhanced T1-weighted imaging. Ablation shape, conspicuity, volume, and signal intensity were compared between the two groups and with the results of pathologic analysis. The difference in volumes with and without NaCl injection was evaluated by using two-way analysis of variance. Results: Mean CNR was highest on fast spin-echo T2-weighted images and was significantly higher for PSIF than for FISP (P < .0001) or true FISP (P = .003). NaCl distribution on MR images corresponded with the results of pathologic analysis in ex vivo livers. Interactive in vivo monitoring of NaCl injection and electrode placement was feasible. NaCl-enhanced ablations had irregular shapes, a higher CNR, and significantly larger volumes (F = 22.0; df = 1, 90; P < .00001). All ablations had intermediate or low signal intensity with high-signal-intensity rims on all images. Fluid signals overlaid NaCl-enhanced ablations on fast spin-echo T2-weighted and STIR images, particularly on high-field-strength MR images. Conclusion: MR imaging can be used to reliably monitor the distribution of injected NaCl solution in tissues. Interventional MR imaging techniques can be used to guide and monitor RFAs within NaCl pretreated tissues, with good correlation with pathologic results.

text: Went to my lfs today while they normally are great and still have a great saltwater section I was very disappointed to see they had tuttI fruttI tetras aka tetras injected with dye labeled as glofish. When I looked in the planted tank section they had 2 silver arowanas that were very beat up and obviously dyed. When I asked the owner he said that was their natural color. When they bagged my puffer that I bought the water was bright blue and he was being housed with another species of puffer that was twice his size. Will not be going to Professional Fish Keepers for freshwater anymore they are the closest by a good 30 minutes and take very good care of their saltwater fish so they will still have my business for that but no way I will purchase freshwater fish from them again. It's worth the drive for healthier fish that are taken care of. Very disappointed in them for stocking fish that are dyed and then saying they aren't.


North County Justice Allies deliver baskets to frontline workers
As a gesture of appreciation to health care workers on the front lines of the COVID-19 crisis, North County Justice Allies donated 40 gift baskets to Scripps in Encinitas.
“We’re usually a group that’s out there marching and protesting and supporting,” said Liz Young, one of the original members of the group. “That’s how it started. We were like, how can we go show this mass support, and this is what we came up with in this time.”
She added that group members wanted to “let them know that they are appreciated.”
The drop off was made by a small group wearing masks, gloves and maintaining proper social distancing, including North County Justice Allies founder Lisa Nava. The baskets included items such as painted rocks, tea, lotions, rose quartz, chocolate and other indulgences.
“They were thrilled. Really, really touched,” Young said.
The organization also dropped off 40 baskets to Scripps in La Jolla, and plans to deliver another 40 to Chula Vista. Chula Vista, with 526 total COVID-19 cases entering this week, has been one of the most impacted cities in San Diego County. Its 196.6 cases per 100,000 residents is third most in the county, behind National City and El Cajon, according to county data.
Encinitas had 33 confirmed COVID-19 cases as of the beginning of the week, and there were a total of 187 confirmed cases among the North County coastal cities from Oceanside to Del Mar.
There were another 33 confirmed cases in La Jolla’s primary zip code, as well as seven in the zip codes that cover the UC San Diego campus and the UTC neighborhood.
North County Justice Allies, a 504(c)4, launched after the 2016 presidential election. The group participates in events to elevate marginalized communities and issues, such as women’s rights, LGBT rights, and immigrants.
As the coronavirus pandemic continued to spread throughout the world, social distancing and other public health guidelines put an end to rallies, protests and other large in-person events for the time being. The public health orders are designed to minimize the strain on hospital workers, many of whom face higher risks of infection and have had to isolate themselves from their families.
Various organizations and individuals have found ways to deliver personal protective equipment, food and other supplies to health care workers who are battling COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.
“We’re just deeply grateful for the essential work they’re doing on the front lines these days,” Young said.

Common Historical Myths You Probably Learned in School
When you look back at all the lessons you learned in history class, you typically find that many of the stories provide a fairly G-rated version of history. Unfortunately, the truth is often far less flattering.
Let’s uncover the truth about some of the exaggerated tales, common misconceptions and flat out historical lies you were taught in school. From the totally ridiculous to the pleasantly surprising, many historical events didn't go down exactly the way you think they did.
The Egyptian Pyramids Were Built by Slaves
You probably believe slaves toiled away to build the pyramids for a heartless string of pharaohs. Modern Egyptologists, however, believe it’s incredibly unlikely that the builders of the ancient pyramids included any slaves at all. Archaeological evidence actually suggests they were more likely paid laborers who were highly respected for their work.
Medieval Peasants Had It Worse Than Modern People
You may be under the impression that medieval peasants spent their days working around the clock all year long, but that wasn't exactly the case. In fact, author and scholar Juliet B. Schor recently revealed that the average American today actually works more hours and enjoys less vacation time each year than the average medieval peasant.
Nero Played the Fiddle as Rome Burned to the Ground
Legend says that when Rome burned down in July of 64 AD, the heartless Emperor Nero was so unconcerned that he merely sat and played the fiddle while it happened. This tale can easily be debunked for several reasons.
Einstein Flunked Math as a Kid
Over the years, many a discouraged kid has been told that even Einstein failed math when he was a child. This is completely untrue. In fact, historians believe little Einstein was a child prodigy who studied college-level physics by age 11. It’s safe to say he didn’t fail elementary math.
Columbus Proved the Earth Was Round
Most kids in school were told that Christopher Columbus discovered the Earth was round. In reality, almost everyone already knew the Earth was round and roughly 8,000 miles in diameter before 1492.
Witches Were Burned at the Stake in Salem
You already know things got completely out of hand in 1692 in Salem, Massachusetts. The citizens of Salem suddenly became irrational and convicted random men and women of witchcraft and sentenced them to death. As the story goes, convicted "witches" met a grisly end by being burned at the stake.
Napoleon Was Super Short
If you have ever heard someone say a temperamental short guy has a "Napoleon complex," it’s based on the assumption that Napoleon Bonaparte felt a fierce need to prove his manhood through military conquest because of his short height. In truth, Napoleon was actually around 5 feet, 7 inches tall, which was the average height for a man of his time.
Pilgrims Wore Black and White Clothes with Large Buckles
As it turns out, the staunch, stereotypical Pilgrim clothing with monochromatic dye and wooden buckles isn’t exactly historically accurate. It’s known from old records that Pilgrims actually wore a wide variety of brightly dyed fabrics in a wide range of colors.
A Cow Kicked a Lantern and Started the Great Chicago Fire
When the Great Chicago Fire consumed the city in 1871, newspapers claimed that it began when Mrs. O'Leary's cow kicked over a lantern while she was milking it. The story never bothered to explain why she didn’t put the fire out or get help if she was sitting right there.
George Washington Confessed to Chopping Down His Dad's Cherry Tree
You were undoubtedly lectured on the tale of young George Washington chopping down his dad's cherry tree. When confronted about it, little George reportedly confessed after announcing, "I cannot tell a lie."
Paul Revere Rode Around Screaming, "The British Are Coming!"
First, Paul Revere was indeed ordered to ride to Lexington to alert Samuel Adams and John Hancock, but he never would have used the phrase "The British are coming!" At the time, the patriots were still British citizens themselves. Additionally, the sentry on guard was annoyed that he was so noisy because the whole operation was supposed to be covert.
The Declaration of Independence Was Signed on the Fourth of July
Although we celebrate independence on July 4, the official timeline is a little more complicated than that. The process actually began on July 1 and July 2, when colonial representatives approved a motion to declare the United States an independent country.
"One Small Step for Man, One Giant Leap for Mankind"
When Neil Armstrong landed on the moon in 1969, he uttered a phrase that became one of the most famous quotes of all time. Ironically, his original quote is actually misquoted without one tiny keyword. Armstrong actually said, "One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."
Marie Antoinette Said, "Let Them Eat Cake"
As the old story goes, the lavish French monarch Marie Antoinette was told around 1789 that her subjects were starving due to a shortage of bread. In response, she supposedly callously and flippantly said, "Let them eat cake." Although her response is possibly one of the most famous quotes in history, it's unlikely she ever said it at all.
Deep Throat Leaked Information That Brought Down Nixon
The credit for ratting out corrupt President Nixon has largely been given to a shadowy figure known as "Deep Throat." His allure was furthered by the Hollywood movie All the President's Men, in which he supplies reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein with secret Watergate intelligence.
"Remember the Alamo!"
Many Americans think the battle at the Alamo was some heroic effort to free Texas from an oppressive Mexican government, but things weren't so simple. Mexico had actually historically allowed Americans to live in the territory tax free.
Galileo First Suggested the Sun Was the Center of the Universe
In history class, Galileo is given a great deal of credit for insisting the sun, rather than the Earth, is at the center of the solar system. In reality, he was far from the first person to come up with the idea.
Shakespeare Was the Original Creator of His Works
Today, William Shakespeare is highly regarded as one of the most talented writers in the history of the English language. Therefore, it seems crazy to think he’s not the actual mastermind behind the famous plots and characters in each of his iconic plays.
Jesus Was Born on December 25
Yes, the world celebrates Christmas on December 25 each year, but history has proven it’s not the actual date that Jesus was born. Additionally, Christ's birthday wasn't celebrated at all until three centuries after his death.
Vikings Wore Horned Helmets
For a very strange reason, Vikings always seem to be stereotypically portrayed in cartoons and other media as huge guys wearing horned wooden helmets. If you've ever watched The History Channel show Vikings, you've probably noticed the marked absence of such bizarre headgear.
Ninjas Always Sneak Around Shrouded in Black
Was the head to toe black uniform really the perpetual uniform of ninjas in feudal Japan? Due to their legendary stealth, ninjas have made it challenging to verify the truth or uncover the lie. A bit of common sense suggests they probably didn’t dress like that all the time.
Henry Ford Invented the Automobile
Although Henry Ford definitely transformed the world of automobiles, he didn't actually invent the first car or even the first assembly line, for that matter. Ford's name is so synonymous with early automobiles because he was the first to produce a car that most middle-class people could actually afford.
Thomas Edison Invented the Light Bulb
Light bulbs had actually been around for years before Thomas Edison ever took it upon himself to make his own version. The problem with pre-Edison bulbs was that they didn't last long enough to be very useful.
The Council of Nicaea Decided Which Books to Include in the Bible
Today, the Christian Bible consists of 66 books Old and New Testament books, but far more books were circulated during the early days of the church. One common misconception is that the Council of Nicaea (325 AD) met to decide which books would make the cut and be included in an official version.
Suicide Rates Shot Up After the 1929 Stock Market Crash
On October 24, 1929 — the infamous "Black Thursday" — rumors began rapidly circulating that a number of stockbrokers were so distraught over the crash that they leapt to their deaths from the windows or roofs of their office skyscrapers. As the rumors continued to spread, the stories grew to include skyrocketing suicide rates in the wake of the financial disaster.
Everything You Know About the First Thanksgiving
Whatever the first Thanksgiving was, it probably wasn't the lovefest between the Native Americans and the Pilgrims that you read about in textbooks. Some historians believe the first "Thanksgiving" actually took place in 1637, when the governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony proclaimed a day of thanks.
Walt Disney Created Mickey Mouse
Although Walt Disney was indeed the voice and one of the creators behind Mickey, he can't take sole credit for drafting everyone's favorite mouse. The truth is Mickey was actually drawn by Walt's favorite animator, Ub Iwerks. It was Iwerks who came up with Mickey's trademark red shorts and gigantic ears.
Ben Franklin Discovered Electricity During His Kite Experiment
We've all heard the story. Ben Franklin rushes out into a thunderstorm to fly a kite with a key attached to the string and discovers electricity. But did he really? By the time Franklin conducted his kite experiment, scientists all over the world already knew about the existence of electricity.
Everybody Wore Cowboy Hats in the Wild West
Westerns are certainly full of people strutting around in cowboy hats, but history would have looked a bit different in person. The now-famous Stetson wasn't even invented until 1865 and didn't really skyrocket to popularity until near the end of the 19th century.
Jesse Owens Was Snubbed by Hitler at the 1936 Olympics
When famous African American athlete Jesse Owens went to the 1936 Olympics in Germany, rumors flew that Hitler had snubbed him because he was black. As Owens later explained, however, the truth was far more disturbing.

The following announcement appeared in various media throughout Europe and the world:
Mindful of the profound impact on the world that the office of the President of the United States holds; and in accordance with the Bush administration's stated desire to establish global democratic principles: The Global Community is invited to vote in the 2004 election of the President of the United States of America on the Second day of November, Two Thousand and Four. Fifteen of the controversial Votomatic voting machines used in the 2000 US Presidential Elections in Palm Beach County, Florida have been exported to various cities in Europe. Polling will begin at 13:00 on 2 November and will close at 3:00 on 3 November, in real time with official voting hours in the U.S.A.


In a surprise turn of events, Apple and Qualcomm have announced that they will “dismiss all litigation between the two companies worldwide” bringing the high-profile legal dispute between the two tech giants to an end.
The two-year dispute over royalties on Qualcomm’s chip technology, one of the biggest legal battles the telecoms industry has seen, has ended in Apple forming an agreement with its former supplier.
According to a statement released by Apple yesterday, the companies have reached a six-year license agreement, including a two-year option to extend, and a multiyear chipset supply agreement. The settlement includes a payment from Apple to Qualcomm, but the amount has not yet been disclosed.
Shares in Qualcomm rose by 23% after the announcement, while Apple’s remained unchanged.
What was the dispute between Apple and Qualcomm?
The dispute was centred on Qualcomm’s requirement that Apple pay a percentage of iPhone revenue in exchange for using Qualcomm’s patents on the chips used in iPhones.
According to the New York Times, Qualcomm pioneered a type of cellular communications in the 1990s, meaning the company has been able to charge royalties on chips that enable phones to connect to data networks, even if they are not using components supplied by the company.
Apple objected to this “abusive licensing model”, refusing to pay the fees since 2017 on the grounds that they were anti-competitive, with Qualcomm in turn accusing Apple of stealing its intellectual property. As a result, Apple filed lawsuits, including a $1bn lawsuit in the US and one in China, with Qualcomm launching counter-suits in Germany and China. The two were involved in a total of 50 legal proceedings spanning the globe.
Qualcomm won two patent cases against Apple in Germany and China, resulting in some iPhone models being banned in China, and Apple stopping selling the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 in Apple stores in Germany.
“This has come as a surprise”
Pio Suh, Managing Director at IPCom, a patent licencing company, said that the news has come as a shock for many in the industry:
“This has come as a surprise to both the telecoms and intellectual property industries – few will have foreseen such a settlement, so quickly, and at this stage of Apple/Qualcomm battle. Both have emerged victorious; Qualcomm’s shares skyrocketed, and I’m sure Apple will have negotiated a great deal, settling on a figure far lower than it would have paid on a running royalty basis.
He believes that the case has wider implications for patents and licensing in the telecom industry:
“Yet, while Apple and Qualcomm will return to their everyday business, retain their market share, and continue to maintain their dominant positions – the rest of the industry has been left in limbo. This was seen as one of the milestone cases that would set precedents and provide much-needed clarity on standard essential patent (SEP) licensing in the telecoms space. We were hoping to learn what kind of practices had been incorporated, in order to better inform licensing negotiations in the future, as Qualcomm’s licensing model (of charging a certain percentage based on the average selling price of the handset), had been challenged.
“It’s not game over yet though. We’re still waiting on a decision from the US Federal Trade Commission on the Apple and Qualcomm court cases, and on what the judge’s ruling will be. As such, we’ll be keeping a close eye on the FTC’s reaction, and hope that its decisions will provide the clarity and security needed to support continued innovation – from players big and small – across the telecoms space.”
Apple and the 5G market
The settlement has huge implications for Apple’s entry to the 5G market. Due to its dispute with Qualcomm, Apple has been relying on Intel modems for its move towards 5G, not expected before 2020.
However, after reports that Intel was failing to meet key 5G deadlines, it looked like Apple might be left behind in this area. Its reunion with Qualcomm may mean that 5G-compatible iPhones come to market sooner than expected.
The announcement was followed by the news that Intel is stopping its 5G modem development, making it look likely that Apple will return to its old supplier.
This follows the news last week that Huawei is reportedly “open” to the idea of its 5G technology being used in Apple devices.
Lynnette Luna, Principal Technology Analyst at GlobalData said:
“The end of the bitter licensing dispute between Qualcomm and Apple will have a significant impact on the burgeoning 5G market. Prior to this settlement, Apple was relying on Intel’s 5G modem to bring a 5G smartphone to market. It was questionable whether Apple would have been able to achieve this by 2020, and this is confirmed by the fact that Intel immediately announced its intention to exit the 5G modem market.
“The iPhone has tremendous clout in the wireless market. Once Apple bets on a new technology, it has the market power to move that technology forward and that is definitely the case for 5G; the industry needs a 5G-enabled iPhone to achieve growth in 2020.”

I’m Lakeisha and 19 yrs of age…I run cross country as well as local 5k’s. I was never much of an athlete growing up as I preferred spending my days reading book after book as well as exploring the outdoors. However my freshman year of high school a friend of mine asked me to join the Cross Country (CC) team with her so that is how my love for running began.
Unfortunately though due to inadequate training and starting off running two miles my very first day and not being taught how to properly warm up and stretch, I developed shin splints within a month and was told to just run through them which resulted in stress fractures and anyone who has ever had them knows how debilitating those can be. So began the ice packs, the swelling, fever in both lower legs and barely able to walk much less run I still continued as I assumed I was just being weak. I was allowed to complete that season though and was always the last runner (which did nothing for my confidence lol). I was not aware nor told of proper stretches and exercises and had to take the next running season off and returned much wiser, stronger & more prepared as a runner my Junior year. I not only broke several PR’s that year and by senior yr 1st place on my team. My junior year was the year that I found out about Zensah and bought my 1st pair of compression leg sleeves. Right off could tell a difference which helped me not only in CC but tennis as well as I joined that sport the same year.
With the purchase of the compression leg sleeves and a now a devout believer in their ability to help heal from & prevent injury I have went on to purchase two more pair of them, a sports bra, compression tank top, knee compression, arm compression sleeves and two pair of the compression socks and a Zensah hat. As you can see I am sold on Zensah!!

Danny has been kept by the mafia to perform deeds for them. Because of his collar, he is raised like a dog. If it is unleashed, all hell breaks loose. He becomes an unstoppable fighting machine. The story doesn’t revolve around him; it also shows compassion of the human spirit by strangers and the resolution of who his mother really was. Yes some of the scenes are over the top but its casting and morale lesson speaks volumes. Morgan Freeman was superb in his role as a father figure. The action mixed with pertinent background music and luscious scenery was amusing. Jet Li’s acting was stretched here; you can really empathize with him. Overall, this entertaining film had a lot to offer, if only it had more realism to it.

Of the Jet Li films i have seen, this one is the most enjoyable, and likeable of his characters. Very happy about Bart's unfortunite coma, Jet Li's character seemed to come to life, and you felt compassion for him and wanted to find a way to help him, hoping that his "owner" would die in the coma.

Jet Li plays the son of a Chinese immigrant who is taken in by a London gangster at a young age and brought up as a kind of human attack dog, kept in a cage and trained only to fight. Upon finding himself free for the first time in his life after an attack by a rival mobster, he returns to the only person who ever showed him kindness, blind piano tuner Morgan Freeman; but the past inevitably catches up with him. Actually this rather unpromising and hokey sounding premise is easily the films greatest weakness. If you can look past it, you'll discover an extremely stylish and unusual thriller. The scenes between Li and Freeman's family have a genuine warmth and sincerity which never resorts to schmaltz, Li in particular bringing an innocence and pathos to his role. The direction is much …

The Perfect Fed Chairman?
The perfect Federal Reserve chairman, writes Simon Johnson, would have had both the right jobs before the crisis and the right opinions before the crisis. "Unfortunately," he says, "there is essentially no one who meets both criteria." The people with the right opinions weren't given the right jobs. And the people with the right jobs, almost by definition, didn't have the right opinions.
I'd add one thing: It also seems that the perfect Federal Reserve chairman would publicly announce that he will not seek, nor accept, reappointment after this term. By all accounts, this is not going to be an easy few years for the Federal Reserve. Daniel Gross put it best in a — sorry to do this to you — tweet. "A reward or a punishment?" He asked. "Next 4 yrs will be ugly, painful ones for Fed chairman. Removing $1 tril in liquidity is no fun."
Flooding the market with money is a lot more popular than pulling that money back into the Federal Reserve's coffers. For that reason, the chairman of the Federal Reserve is supposed to be politically insulated. But he's not really politically insulated if he's seeking another term, and he knows that, the administration knows that, and, arguably most importantly, the markets know that. Whatever comfort they're taking from Bernanke's reappointment, I imagine they'd take a lot more if he announced that this was his final term.
More: Paul Krugman has another take.

As part of the crop of Leopard compatibility releases, the popular utility Quicksilver received an update that included support for the new OS. But that's not all. Back in August, Quicksilver developer Alcor revealed that he would release the code under an open-source license around the time of the Leopard launch. Leopard is here, and now he's made good on his word: Quicksilver has now been released under the open source Apache License.
Although the Google Code site for the project is a bit bare thus far, it does contain all the Quicksilver code, including the most recent version. Alcor suggested he would be cleaning up the code before the open-source release, so it should be pretty easy to dive in and figure out what's going on.
In terns of what Quicksilver users can expect from the transition, the answer is "probably not much," at least initially. Work is going to continue on the utility, but there may be a few more hands helping out to fix bugs. I also think we'll see better plug-ins down the road, since developers can now add any code they need directly to the application, as well as gain an understanding of how the app works.
if you're interested in taking a look at what's happening inside the black box, the source is available on the Google Code project page. Several other Blacktree projects also seem to have been released under the Apache License, so it might be worth spending some time poking around the various projects if you'd like to see what's happening behind the scenes.

text: The last few decades have witnessed a proliferation in the use of prosthetic implants. Chronic bone and joint related disorders such as osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, etc. are widespread and can have a devastating impact on quality of life. Consequently, the use of total joint arthoplasty (TJA) has grown steadily as a life enhancing procedure. Although successful joint replacement restores functionality and provides pain relief, prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) can be a devastating outcome of orthopedic surgery and can impose horrendous physical burdens on individual patients and financial stress on the health industry as a whole. PJIs are often caused by aggregated communities of bacteria known as bacterial biofilms, which tend to be incredibly resistant to antibiotics. As a result, new methodologies are needed to efficiently treat biofilm-based PJIs in-vivo. In this regard, electrochemical treatment of the infected implants is among the most promising strategies for the eradication of surface-based biofilm infections. Cathodic voltage controlled electrical stimulation (CVCES), is a recently developed electrochemical approach that has proven to be effective in the treatment of biofilm-based PJIs. Analysis of in-vivo assays have revealed that CVCES combined with conventional antibiotic drugs can lead to complete treatment of the infections without any histological damage to the surrounding tissue. However, many fundamental aspects of this treatment are unknown and rational design towards optimization is lacking. In this presentation we introduce a one-dimensional (1D) computational modeling framework to simulate the electrochemical behavior of an in-vivo CVCES system. We use dilute solution theory (ionic interaction are neglected) for determining the electrochemical potential of ionic species in the system and solve the Nernst-Plank equations along with Maxwell's equations to predict the toxic (to bacteria) species concentration speciation and electric potential. Water-based electroneutrality is used as a simplifying assumption to facilitate numerical convergence. In addition, Butler-Volmer electrochemical surface reaction kinetics are assumed at the surface of the working electrode and as boundary conditions for the models. We have used our experimental current-voltage scanning data to identify the dominant electrochemical surface reactions and have extracted transfer coefficients and exchange current densities required to characterize the reactions. The surrounding tissue, i.e. the electrolyte medium in the in-vivo experiments, was approximated by the dilute solution of sodium chloride. Moreover, the most important buffer systems inside the tissue, namely the bicarbonate buffer system and buffer capacity of proteins and organic phosphates, were introduced in the form of homogeneous reactions. Hydrogen evolution and oxygen reduction electrochemical reactions are assumed at the working electrode surfaces and characterized by voltage current scanning data. Both experimental and mathematical modeling results showed that oxygen reduction surface reaction become diffusion limited after few minutes and only contribute a small amount to the total current density at the electrode surface. Simulation results also elucidate how buffering capacity of the tissue would counteract the diffusion of hydroxide ions in the tissue. The mathematical model also provides the temporal-spatial variation of the both current-density and pH profiles that are very difficult to obtain in experiments. The simulation results are in an acceptable quantitative range with the experimental results. The modeling framework can be extended to higher dimensions to represent more realistic examples such as human knee or hip implants. Such models can be utilized to optimize the electrode configurations and operation parameters.

NEW YORK, NY, USA -- Daria Kasatkina has gotten the better of French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko in 2017.
The unseeded Russian handily defeated the No.12 seed, 6-3, 6-2, and moved into the fourth round of a Grand Slam event for the first time in her career.
"Before I was losing everything in third round, so I was not expecting anything in the US Open," Kasatkina told the press, after she finished her late doubles match. "I was just playing, enjoying, and trying to show my game."
Ostapenko had beaten Kasatkina in their first two head-to-head encounters, but Kasatkina turned the tables in their most important prior match, the final of the Volvo Car Open in Charleston in April of this year. It was more of the same on Louis Armstrong Stadium on Saturday.
At the start of the match, though, it looked like it was going to be one-way traffic for Ostapenko. Kasatkina served first, and quickly lost her initial service game with a double fault on break point.
"In the beginning, it [the match] wasn’t that well," Kasatkina said to the press. "I was a bit nervous, and she started quite good. But I just keep my strategy, keep focused, and it paid off."
Ostapenko raced out to a double-break, 3-0 lead in the match. She opened the match by effectively hitting her powerful groundstrokes from both sides, which her opponents at the French Open became heartbreakingly familiar with earlier this summer.
But then came a turnaround in the match, which was sudden and overwhelming. Kasatkina started to dial back her unforced errors, and focused on trying to draw errors from the Latvian, particularly off of her fantastic slice backhand.
— US Open Tennis (@usopen) September 2, 2017
Kasatkina got back on serve at 3-2, as her strategy paid off and the unforced errors began to flow off of the racquet of Ostapenko. In a matter of minutes, she had won five straight games to serve for the set at 5-3.
Kasatkina faced two break points in that game, but Ostapenko lost them with more unforced errors, and then provided another forehand unforced error on Kasatkina's second set point. The solid play by the Russian -- eight winners and only seven unforced errors -- put her up a set to the good.
"I was 3-0 up, and I think I missed one ball, and somehow the game changed, like, went the other way," Ostapenko said in her post-match press conference. "I knew she's gonna make me play uncomfortable, and I was preparing for that. But unfortunately, I couldn't give my best today."
Kasatkina, the World No.38, raced out to a 5-0 lead in the second set, as the 12th seed still could not control her errors -- she would finish the match with 38. At this point, the Russian's streak had extended to 11 straight games won, and it seemed imminent that Ostapenko would receive a dreaded second-set bagel.
"In the second set, I start to feel good," claimed Kasatkina. "Everything goes the way I want." However, at 5-0 in the set, one game away from victory, the Russian also admitted that she "got a little bit tight."
It was here that Ostapenko added more margin to her shots, and though she blitzed through the French Open draw with her all-or-nothing tactics, she was helped in this match by more judicious play. She claimed her first game of the second set with a backhand winner off the net cord, and then held for 5-2 with her only ace of the match.
But it was Kasatkina who pulled it together at the end. A fabulous 30-shot rally on her second match point, which featured hard hitting off both wings by Ostapenko and a drop shot and a lob by Kasatkina, went the Russian's way when the French Open champion fired a backhand into the net.
Kasatkina will now move into the second week of a major for the first time in her career. She will take on another power hitter: qualifier Kaia Kanepi, who is currently ranked No.418, but has a career-high ranking of World No.15, and has five Grand Slam quarterfinal appearances to her credit.
Kasatkina is wary of Kanepi, but prepared. "Of course, it’s not going to be an easy match at all," she said. "She’s a very good player, she’s had very good results in the past, and she’s already beat good players here. Her style of tennis is very dangerous as well. So I have to be ready."

Queen Dragon Mom's Note:
Adopted! Original poster's comments: We love this colourful sauce, which is actually more like a salsa to potatoes with sour cream and fish or chicken. But basically this sauce comes into our meals whenever I want something without fuss, that is colourful and great tasting. QDM: I think I would roast the garlic and drain and roast the corn before using it, but that is personal taste...
My Private Note
Units: US | Metric
- 1Combine all ingredients and refrigerate until serving.
- 2Use the reserved bean liquid to moisten, if needed.
- 3It is preferable to let the sauce stand a little so the spices can work through.

Whether you believe the Republican trillion-and-a-half dollar tax cut is a give-away to the ultra-rich or a plan to provide a trickle-down stimulation to the economy or something else, it's obvious that this tax cut is flawed, if for no other reason than this legislation has considerable opposition.
If the Republicans truly want to pass legislation, use the trillion-and-a-half dollars of increased debt on legislation that has bipartisan support. That legislation would be infrastructure projects. Billions of dollars would be targeted in areas having the greatest unemployment plus extensive drug-decimation. These projects would provide jobs (and increased local, state and federal tax revenue), begin to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure and begin to alleviate drug addiction if it's true that more jobs equal less drug addiction.
A further benefit of infrastructure projects for Republicans is that it fulfills Trump's campaign promises — begin rebuilding our infrastructure, easing drug addiction and adding well-paying jobs to high unemployment areas.
