Pentagram recently did a full rebrand for a UK charity, Battersea. Rebrands and new logos are done everyday, but I found this one to be really special and whimsical.
First, they were not ‘afraid’ to use a watercolour look. This style was all the rage in late 2016 and early 2017, and pundits deemed it as a fad. That may be the case, but I think it’s great looking style and that no one should shun a certain look just because it’s considered a fad. Having Pentagram to endorse this style gives it a lot of staying power in my opinion.
The second thing that I loved is how well the logo holds in difficult situations. Normally a logo relying in special effects, such as transparency, or in this case a watercolour effect, will be hard to understand and recognize if it’s reduced to just an engraving for example. But in their page you can find an image showing the logo in this exact situation and it holds really well!
All in all this project is brilliant and a testimony of why Pentagram are one of the best design agencies in the world. You can have a look at it you jump over to their site.

NCFY offers resources on preventing adolescent pregnancy and empowering young people to make good choices.

Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hello, my name is***** am a qualified lawyer and it is my pleasure to assist you with your question today.
Are you intending on coming back in the future?
Thank you. It is not illegal to leave the country whilst you are under investigation. This is just an internal employment matter, it is not something to do with the police and neither are you on police bail which may restrict you from leaving the country. You are entirely free to travel as and when you wish, even if you are on suspension, regardless of whether this is a safeguarding matter or not. No one can stop you from doing so.
If you were to return in the future and wish to use this employer for a reference then this situation may come out if they decide to mention it. Also, if you wanted to get a job in the same field and the regulatory authority that oversees the industry had been notified and was involved, it could refuse to allow you to work in that field until they find you innocent, so you could be suspended from working with children and vulnerable adults.
But to answer your main question – you can leave to return to SA at this stage and there is nothing preventing you from doing so, just be prepared that if you were to return you may have to deal with this again and defend any allegations if you wanted to work in the same or similar industry.
I hope this has answered your query. I would be grateful if you could please take a second to leave a positive rating (3, 4 or 5 stars) as that is an important part of our process and recognises the time I have spent assisting you. If you need me to clarify anything before you go - please get back to me on here and I will assist further as best as I can. Thank you
You are most welcome

Would Nino disrobe, spread his butt cheeks and cough?
Disturbing image, I know, but the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday said he'd have to.
In a 5-4 decision, in which Justice Kennedy joined the court's conservative bloc, the justices determined strip searches do not violate the Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable searches and seizures.
This isn't just for violent crimes. It is completely legal, the court said, to strip search nuns, sexual assault victims and menstruating women, the New York Times reports.
In case you were wondering, yes I did attend a midnight showing of the Hunger Games. And yes, it was totally worth it.
I normally go to sleep two to three hours before it started because I like to be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed for early-morning court hearings; but come on, this was the HUNGER GAMES!
The crowd wasn't bad. I didn't notice any problems.
I did, however, sit so close to the screen that a certain Lubbock chiropractor might be seeing me for the first time a couple years.
A capital defense program comprising almost every county in the region on Thursday returned more than $400,000 to participating counties.
Lubbock County officials, along with staff from the West Texas Regional Public Defender for Capital Cases, presented a check to county judges at a conference of the Texas Judicial Academy, a partnership between the County Judges Education Committee of the Texas Association of Counties and Texas Tech University School of Law.
Gov. Rick Perry has named Judge Ruben Reyes the chair of the Governor’s Criminal Justice Advisory Council.
According to a statement from Perry’s office, the council will advise the governor on the creation, staffing, operations and performance of specialty courts to ensure the rights of participants are protected.
Reyes, of the combined Lubbock/Crosby County 72nd District, is also the judge of the Lubbock County Adult Drug Court.
He also serves on several boards, including the National Association of Drug Court Professionals.
Ok, so here's the deal.
I'm going to try to start blogging more. Mainly because I have a lot to say and this interweb things gives me a virtually infinite medium through which to bombard you with my thoughts.
My musings won't be strictly limited to courtroom happenings. If you want black and white coverage, you can read the news articles -both online at here at lubbockonlin.com.
My blog posts will have more of what you really want, and that's more ME!.
Gov. Rick Perry has appointed a Lubbock investigator to serve on a statewide task force targeting violent gangs.
Rodney Rodriguez, an investigator with the Lubbock County Criminal District Attorney's Office, was appointed to serve as long as Perry wants him to.
The task force is a partnership between state, federal and local law enforcement and correctional agencies to focus on gang activity, according to a statement from Perry's office.
Several groups, including a university student government organization and a prominent gun-control lobby, this week filed a document in federal court asking a judge to uphold the current ban on handgun sales to people under age 21.

Aadland likely to get Mitchell Board of Education seat
Cory Aadland was the only person to turn in a petition for the Mitchell Board of Education seat that is up for election this year.
Tuesday was the final day to turn in petitions for the seat, which is currently held by Dana Price. That means Aadland, of Mitchell, will likely become a member of the school board since he was the only person to file a petition, Superintendent Joe Graves said Tuesday.
"There's an outside chance that someone could have mailed a petition in, and if that was postmarked in time it would count as well," Graves said.
The election for the seat was scheduled to be held June 3, but Aadland will automatically get the seat if no mailed petitions arrive.
Price, 59, has served nine years on the school board. He expects Aadland "to do a great job" for the Mitchell Board of Education.
"I took out a petition and started to get my signatures, but when I heard Mr. Aadland was running, I sat down with my wife and thought maybe it was time for someone with some fresh ideas to have the seat," Price said in an interview with The Daily Republic on Tuesday.
A primary election for county and state offices will be June 3 and the general election will be Nov. 4. Any independent candidate has until April 29 to file a petition.
In the local races for Legislative seats the following candidates have filed petitions:
• District 8, which covers Miner and Sanborn counties: Candidates for state senator, incumbent Chuck Jones, R-Flandreau, and Scott Parsley, D-Madison, who was a House member in 2014; Candidates for state representative, incumbent Leslie J. Heinemann, R-Flandreau, Matthew Wollmann, R-Madison.
• District 19, which covers Hanson, McCook, Hutchinson, Douglas and the eastern two-thirds of Bon Homme counties: Candidate for the state senator, Bill L. Van Gerpen, R-Tyndall; Candidate for state representative, Kyle Schoenfish, R-Scotland. incumbent Rep. Stace Nelson, R-Fulton, has not filed a petition.
• District 20, which covers Davison, Aurora and Jerauld counties: Candidate for state senator, Michael Vehle, R-Mitchell; Candidates for state representative, Joshua M. Klumb, R-Mount Vernon, incumbent Tona Rozum, R-Mitchell, James V. Schorzmann, D-Mitchell, and David P. Stevens, R-Mitchell. Rep. Lance Carson, R-Mitchell, is term-limited.
• District 21, which covers Tripp, Gregory, Charles Mix counties and the western third of Bon Homme County: Candidate for state senator, incumbent Billie H. Sutton, D-Burke; Candidates for state representative, incumbents Lee Qualm, R-Platte, and Julie Bartling, D-Gregory.
• District 26, which covers Jones, Lyman, Buffalo, Brule, Mellette and Todd counties: Candidates for state senator, John Koskan, R-Wood, and Troy E. Heinert, D-Mission, who is currently a member of the House for District 26A. Sen. Larry Lucas, D-Pickstown, has not filed a petition.
• District 26B, which covers Jones, Lyman, Buffalo and Brule counties: Candidates for state representative, Marty Jandreau, D-Kennebec, and incumbent James Schaefer, R-Kennebec.
Davison County Commission
In the local races for three open seats for the Davison County Board of Commissioners in Districts 1, 3 and 5, the following candidates have filed petitions:
District 1: Incumbent Commissioner Gerald Weiss, R-Ethan is running against Leon Baier, R-Mitchell.
District 3: Incumbent Commissioner Kim Weitala, R-Mitchell, is running unchallenged.
District 5: Incumbent Commissioner John Claggett, R-Mitchell, is running unchallenged.
Other county races
Sheriff: Incumbent Steve Brink, R-Mitchell, no challengers.

Register of Deeds: Incumbent Deb Young, no challengers.

More About Stan Berenstain & Jan Berenstain
Stan and Jan Berenstain were both born in 1923 in Philadelphia. They didn't know each other as children, but met later at school, at the Philadelphia College of Art. They liked each other right away, and found out that the both enjoyed the same kinds of books, plays, music and art. During World War II, Stan was a medical assistant in the Army, and Jan worked in an airplane factory. When the war was over, they got married and began to work together as artists and writers, primarily drawing cartoons for popular magazines. After having their two sons Leo and Michael, the Berenstains decided to write some funny children's books that their children and other children could read and enjoy. Their first published children's book was called The Big Honey Hunt. It was about a family of bears, who later became known as the "Berenstain Bears." Stan and Jan planned all of their books together. They both wrote the stories and created the pictures. They continued to live outside of Philadelphia in the country. There are now over 300 Berenstain Bears books.
Stan Berenstain lived in Solebury, in the state of Pennsylvania. Stan Berenstain was born in 1923 and died in 2005.

Reviews - What do customers think about The Berenstain Bears Forget Their Manners (First Time Books(R))?
Manners Matter! May 21, 2008
In today's culture manners are becoming an increasing issue. Parents aren't sure how to handle their children, without over stepping their boundaries. This book may be a good starting point, on where to begin. The younger the child the better.
A Nice Story Apr 15, 2008
This is one of the Berenstain Bears all time classics. It's a wonderful guide to how to achieve better manners in the family.
Wonderful book to remind kids of their manners Oct 14, 2007
This book was even better than I thought it would be. My 5 year old actually requests me to read it to her. When she starts to act up, I just remind her to use her manners, just like the Berenstain Bears. Or she will often times use great manners and tell me that she uses good manners just like the Bears. It's wonderful. It's a must-have for all parents with toddlers.
Say It's Not So! The Berenstain Bears Forget Their Manners? Aug 12, 2007
In my opinion, this is THE BEST Berenstain Bears book we have read. It not only does a very good job describing what good manners are, but also why not having them is bad.
The book begins with the cubs displaying some downright familiar examples of bad manners. There is a lack of 'please' and 'thank you' and 'I'm sorry' which leads to the usual sort of familial squabbling. Seeing what's going on, Mama and Papa make a gentle attempt to push the family back on track; but nothing works until Mama creates a chart with a penalty scheme to help everyone 'remember' what appropriate behavior is.
The reaction to the chart is not all that surprising. Brother and Sister Bear think the penalties are unfair. Which is when they decide to undermine Mama's efforts by being so 'super polite' that she will get "fed up and call the whole thing off!" [Ha!] Of course, that doesn't work as we all know that Good Manners lead to harmony and happiness and that you can't really overdo it.
Five Stars. In my opinion this is as good as the Berenstain Bears books get. The message of Good Manners is important, the examples good, and the story is told at just the right level. Okay Read-Aloud.
The Berenstain Bears forget their manners... Feb 14, 2007
Wow, I have to say that every since I was in Elementary School, I have loved The Berenstain Bears. I am almost certain I've read each and every single book.
I personally think that this book is perfect for children in Grade School, because these books helped me when I was growing up. I read the one about Junk Food, and even now, I try and not overload myself on sweets, and eat some fruits such as Mangos, Peaches etc.
I think any new parent would be very wise to buy the entire collection for their little one(s).

"Wow" is right! This is Great stuff . . . terrific use of an extreme wide angle lens, very punchy lines. Some suggestions: -- because the gun takes up so much space with this perspective, it needs a little more detailing, particularly around the muzzle (which is where the eye goes). --somewhat strange very hard shadow on the subject, not quite consistent with the background lighting scenario.

But the “dose” of the exercises assigned to each group differed. One group was asked to complete five sets of each exercise, with about 90 seconds of rest between sets. Their total time for a session at the gym was almost 70 minutes. A second group was asked to complete three sets of each exercise, requiring they work out for about 40 minutes. The third group had to finish only one set of each exercise, meaning that they were done after a brisk 13 minutes. Each volunteer performed his given workout three times a week for eight weeks and then returned to the lab to repeat the muscle measurements. After the two months, all of the young men were stronger, a finding that, by itself, is beguiling, since it suggests that people can continue to gain strength even if they already are experienced at resistance training. But more interesting and surprising, the strength improvements were essentially the same, no matter how many — or few — sets the men completed. The men who had stopped after one set gained as much strength as those who had done five sets or three. The groups likewise showed equivalent improvements in muscular endurance, which was measured by how any times they could repeat a bench press exercise, using a low weight.

By Katie Walsh
Are most three-year-olds as bossy and rude as mine? I mean, he’s kind of a jerk. Sure, he has his sweet moments, and of course, I love him with all my heart and wouldn’t trade him for the world. But seriously? It’s like living with Jekyll and Hyde. Here’s an example.
My son’s in the living room putting a toy car together when he yells, “Who took my screw? I know you have it!” My 5-year-old daughter and I look at him bewildered.
“What are you talking about?” I ask.
“You took it!” he yells at his sister.
“What? I did not,” she says.
“Did not!” You know how this story goes. They keep arguing until I lose my temper and yell at them or one of them slugs the other. But seriously, why is he so rude and bossy? This behavior must be another one of “those traits” he learned from my husband, not me (Wait, am I accusing someone of something too? No way, I’d never do that).
According to the website What to Expect, “Bossy behavior is very common among two- and three-year-olds. That’s because toddlers have poor social skills and an egocentric view of the world.”
Egocentric view of the world? That’s an understatement. My son thinks he created the world. Is my three-year-old destined to stay this way forever? I keep reading.
“Most little dictators,” yes, dictator should be his middle name, “outgrow this phase as they begin to realize that they’re actually not the center of the universe and that other kids really don’t dig being told what to do.” Actually, my son doesn’t seem to give a crap what people think. And how long are we talking? I’m not the most patient person in the world. And what about these other kids? Are my husband and I included in this statement too? If not, I take the liberty to say that we are.
“Mom! Get my blankie!”
“I want more milk!”
While riding in the car, “Stop looking out my window!” Does he own his window now? Maybe this is more serious than I thought. So what do we do to curb this tyrant behavior?
I find another article in my desperate search to cure my son of his unruly behavior, and it suggests that this is a learned modeled behavior. Does that mean I need to stop telling my husband to get me milk at two in the morning? I’m only kidding.
It also suggests role playing. My son is three. His attention is that of a fly, not to mention, how the hell do you role play with a three-year-old? Thanks, but no thanks.
I would ask some of my mommy friends, but they’ll just give me the, “I’m sorry to hear that. Have you talked to your pediatrician?” Why does everyone always suggest talking to a pediatrician? If your pediatrician is anything like mine, they look at me like I’m wasting their time and want to hurry up and move everybody out so they can have their three-hour lunch and operate during the most ridiculous office hours ever.
I think of the adage, “This too shall pass,” but my dilemma seems far from over. During dinner, my husband and I are trying to have a civilized conversation (like we used to before we had kids) and our son thinks this is the time to yell out “butt,” “poopy face” and other “you better watch your mouth” timeout words. He finds this extra attention humorous and continues.
“You’ve got five seconds to stop. One, two, three, four…” at this time I panic because I have no backup plan. “I mean it. If I get to five, you’re going to timeout.” My husband steps in to save me. My son doesn’t back down. The balls on this kid! I’ve always thought to send your child to boarding school was cruel, but now I’m starting to see why parents do this. Do they accept three-year-olds? Trust me—mine will give you a run for your money.
I even go so far as put on a few more Daniel Tiger shows in the hope that the Mr. Rogers-inspired show will instill some kind and empathetic lessons on the boy. I close my eyes and tell myself that in one year I’ll look back at laugh at all these moments. How my son will have matured and become the sweet young boy I always knew he could be. But for now, if you’ll excuse me, my son would like a glass of milk.

'Yellow Pygmy' is an early producing, compact dwarf tomato that produces pretty golden yellow cherry-sized fruits with a near translucent quality about them. My friend Julianna gave me a small packet of seed about a decade ago and it's become one of those staple varieties that I come back to year-after-year. Has a nice, tart flavour and a slightly dry bite.
This is another excellent choice for container growing. The growth habit is sturdy, but elongated with slightly crinkly (rugose) leaves. It has an almost delicate, fairy quality to me, especially once the small star-like flowers show up. The plant grows to about 18" or so tops. I've had good productivity in a 12" deep container, but I wouldn't suggest going much smaller. And as with all tomatoes, it should have its own pot.
Special Notes: Dwarf (determinate). Early producer. 50-55 days. Great container variety. Ornamental.
No less than 10 seed per packet.
Seed Starting and Growing: Start seed indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Transplant outdoors after danger of frost has passed.
About You Grow Girl Seeds:
All of the seeds that I sell were lovingly homegrown and harvested by me, small scale, in my urban garden using organic methods only -- no chemicals or pesticides whatsoever. Tomato varieties are isolated to stay true using the flower bagging method and I test for germination quality. I take special care in choosing varieties that I find unusual, interesting and fabulous, and/or especially suitable for growing in small space gardens.

NARROWSBURG – The Upper Delaware Council (UDC) presented a check for $8,125 to the Town of Deerpark on April 27 representing its share of a $75,000 Community Projects State Grant funding program that Senator John J. Bonacic secured for the UDC’s eight New York State member towns.
The grant enabled the Town of Deerpark to undertake a series of improvements at the new Sparrowbush Firemen’s Park and Picnic Area located near the intersection of State Routes 97 and 42 in the hamlet of Sparrowbush. Tasks included enhancing the pathway around the park with benches, picnic tables, exercise and fitness trail equipment, dog waste stations, ornamental trees, and floral plantings.
This grant funding enabled the Town of Deerpark to provide a pleasing and useful recreation area for town residents and visitors to the area that is visible from the state-designated Upper Delaware Scenic Byway.
The work was supplemented by community donations. The town expended a total of $9,289.49 on this project. The FY 2007-2008 grant funding, covering the contract period of September 1, 2007 to August 31, 2009, represents the fifth round of projects that promote tourism, improve town-owned facilities, or enhance river access in the Towns of Hancock, Fremont, Delaware, Cochecton, Tusten, Highland, Lumberland, and Deerpark.
Since FY 2000, Senator Bonacic has secured $290,000 for the eight river valley towns through contracts administered by the Upper Delaware Council and the New York State Department of Economic Development.

Introduction: Portable 3-way Hifi Speaker/boomcase
Welcome to my first instructable!
In this instructable I will just show you how I built my speaker and hopefully this will give you some kind of ideas how to make your own.
I wanted to build a portable hifi speaker/boombox that I could take with me anywhere. I looked at boomcases on the internet which gave me ideas of how I could build mine.
Here is a short video of the finished speaker:
Step 1: Materials
Here is a list of the materials that I used:
-1.2 cm thick plywood
-White artificial leather
-Black pvc angles
Car amplifier from dealextreme. 2x20W (I recommend another one something like lepai for instance)
-10" bass speaker (80W rms max)
-5" mid speaker (70W rms)
-tweeter (10W rms)
-panel ac input
(-resistors to dampen the tweeter)
And then I added a LED strip underneath the speaker and for that I needed:
-heat shrinking tube
-50 cm LED strip (ebay)
-sound sensitive LED controller (ebay)
I did not have all of this at home when I started the project. But when I knew how I wanted the speaker to become I started buying parts.
Step 2: Building the Box - Cutting the Plywood
The recommended minimum volume for the bass speaker that I bought was 40 litres. SO I made some calculations and decided to have these measurements on the box (outer size): 52,5x42,5x22,5 cm
This would give me about 45 litres, a few litres extra for battery, amplifier etc.
I asked my dad to help me cutting the plywood, because I'm not very familiar with a circular saw.
Step 3: Building the Box - Putting It Together
All the pieces was glued and screwed to a 2x2 cm wood which I have in all of the edges.
I did not screw the plywoods onto each other because that would risk the plywood to crack or break.
As you can see the front has a hole for the amplifier. I just sawed it out and grinded until it fit the amplifier.
Step 4: Building the Box - Cutting Holes for the Speakers and Electronics
Now it's time to make the holes for the speakers. I made some planning and drew some circles on the speaker box, and after a few changes I cut the holes with a jigsaw. The hole for the tweeter was a little bit tricky because the jigsaw couldn't turn that much so I had to saw back and forth a few times instead.
Then I checked if the speakers fit the holes and they did not so I had to make some grinding to enlarge the holes.
To make the speaker box extra steady I attached a piece of plywood in the middle, where the handle would be attached later.
Finally I sanded the whole box so nothing of the plywood edges would be visible later.
Step 5: Covering the Box
I found that it was easiest to use wood glue to glue the artificial leather to the box. So I just spread the glue with a plastic card on one of the sides and put the artificial leather on it and attached it with staples. Then I cut the excess and the holes with scissors carefully to not cut anything that would be visible later.
As you can see I attached the leather from the amplifier hole inside the box to hide the staples because the amplifier was not really made for panel mounting.
Step 6: Screw Everything in Place
Now we need to put everything in place and I started with the amplifier. It was very tight but I wanted it to be screwed to the box so I attached a piece of wood inside the box (see picture) with screws, I did this before I glued on the artificial leather.
The speakers were attached with 4 screws each. Later on I thought the color of screws were a bit ugly so I spray painted them black.
A button and a voltmeter was placed in the holes that I made. I just cut a "X" in the leather, put some glue under the leather and pressed down the voltmeter, button and an ac input which is not shown in the picture. So I only glued the leather to the box and not the components so I could remove them later if needed.
Step 7: Electronics Etc.
After a lot of thinking I decided to buy a 12 Ah battery which is A LOT for a speaker like this. It should last about 20 hours (measured with ammeter on medium soundlevel), maybe overkill but I wanted it to last long.
I soldered the speaker cables to the crossover and attached the crossover to the output of the amplifier. I powered it up and tested the sound but I thought the tweeter was way too loud so I bought some powerful 10W resistor which I soldered to the tweeter cable.
The amplifier was connected to the battery and the battery charger was connected to the ac input and to the battery.
Voltmeter was connected to the battery and the button as well.
I used screws and zip ties to fasten the 4.5 kg battery.
As I wrote in the beginning of this instructable I wanted to have LED lighting underneath the speaker. So I bored a hole in the box and put the LED controller wires through and soldered them back.
Step 8: Testing Before Finishing
This step was very important because when I close my speaker box I can't open it again, not easily. So I used the speaker for about a week with the backside, but without attaching it. Just to make sure that everything was working as it should.
Then my plan was to cover the edges of the artificial leather with some kind of plastic angle. I wondered what color would look the best, so to see how it would look with black edges I took some black paper and made some fake angles for my speaker. This was a really good idea because now I could see how it really would look with black angles.
I thought it looked very nice and cool so I went for the black angles.
Step 9: Closing the Speaker
I had some old speakers lying around so I took some glass wool from them and glued it to the walls of my speaker. I think this will dampen the speaker box and improve the sound of the speaker.
Finally, after a lot of waiting I could close the speaker and screw the back of it in place. I did not glue the back side of the speaker, so I would be able to remove it later if I needed to.
Artificial leather was attached to the this side exactly the same way as the other sides.
Step 10: Finishing the Look
I bought 6 metres of 1,5x1,5 cm pvc angles and attached it to all edges of the speaker with contact adhesive. To make the ends of the angles about 45° I used scissors and simply just cut it.
To cover the corners where the angles ended I bought metal corner protectors which I sanded and spray painted black.
Before I screwed the corner protectors in place I had to sand the angles because they were sticking out a little bit and the protectors couldn't sit very nicely until I sanded them.
Step 11: Enjoy the Speaker
This is the best part of the whole project, having the finished project in front of you and be proud of yourself!
I am really happy with this speaker that I built. It has a very good sound quality which was a bit a surprise because this is my first speaker I have ever built.
It is a bit too heavy to carry around (14 kg), but it is perfect as a portable hifi speaker at home or at a small party outdoors.
I hope I have given you some ideas and inspiration to make your own speaker. Please rate and feel free to comment if you have any questions or thoughts!
Good luck and have fun!


Small Tilting Reflector ADS108-2
Small tilting reflector with Reflective Targets is perfect for short-range measurements, 50 mm diameter reflector of diamond pattern sheeting with printed crosshair image.
Red PC body features a 2 mm offset and is adjustable on two axes.
Fits Swiss-style male tips or quick-release adapters.
Size: 15*9*4.5cm; Net weight: 0.12KG. ACCURACY OF THE REFLECTOR
A circular prism is manufactured by cutting the corner from a solid glass cube. This creates three mutually orthogonal reflecting surfaces that reflect any light rays back towards their source. ANGULAR BEAM DEVIATION
The angular difference between the entering and exiting beam is known as Angular Beam Deviation. A high deviation significantly reduces the returned signal strength and hence the measurement range.
After manufacture, each prism is measured by Zygo inferometer to determine its beam deviation.Product:

3 Year Old Boy Cured Of Cancer After Doctors Gave Him Just Days To Live
3 years ago doctors diagnosed Landon Riddle with Leukemia, his family were given the horrifying news that Landon stood little chance of surviving the next few days.
Landon had a condition called Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia a cancer of the bone marrow and blood and was started on chemotherapy and almost immediately.
“His whole chest was full of leukemia tumors, which is why he couldn’t breathe. They started him on chemo, but told us that he probably wasn’t going to make it,”
his mother, Sierra Riddle said.
The side effects of chemotherapy and the drugs that Landon needed were pretty grim for the little boy, he was vomitting 30 to 50 times per day, his appetite was non existent and went almost a month with no food.
“We discussed all of our concerns with his medical team in Utah and watched Landon continue to suffer and wither away as they piled on drug after drug,” Riddle told RYOT. “Then my mother came across cannabis oil online.”
Sierra says that her mother had always been against anything to do with ‘drugs’ but had found enough supporting evidence in the case of medical cannabis.
The family had to travel to Colorado where cannabis oil was available and just days after his first treatment Landon showed signs of improvement.
“Our hearts were filled with joy that cannabis brought back the smile to Landon’s face. Landon started getting better and better! It was as if a miracle had happened! He was smiling again and started to eat again!”
Sierra wrote on her blog during his treatment.
“It is atrocious that anyone on the planet would be charged for choosing cannabis over pharmaceuticals. My heart goes out to Adam Koessler and Rumor Rose, along with uncountable other families that are affected by cannabis prohibition. Get ready for the fight of your life. Having a sick child is a battle in itself, but making this choice is a whole new world. You’re going to need thick skin, intuition, and a solid team. Don’t waste time making sure every other pharmaceutical does more harm than good. If it feels wrong in your gut, it’s probably wrong,” she added.


Cutting-edge motorsports technology for more performance on the road. With independently adjustable compression and rebound dampening the Variant 3 damper setup can be tuned to your own driving preferences or vehicle modifications such as weight, tire characteristics or additional chassis bracing. True performance optimization is only possible with this unique, patented system. For example, the compression dampening force can be increased to optimize grip from the tires, or improve cornering behavior and reduce squat without influencing the rebound dampening characteristics that are optimally tuned to the spring rate. Specifically Engineered Setup – Vehicle Specific with Separately Adjustable Rebound and Compression dampening The KW Variant 3 "inox-line" coilover kit is the ideal tool for performance-oriented drivers and experienced tuning enthusiasts who place a strong emphasis on the overall performance of their suspension. The Variant 3 features patented TVR-A and TVC-A technology that provides separately adjustable rebound and compression dampening. The extensive adjustment range of the independently configurable rebound and compression make it easy to directly influence the steering behavior, directional stability, grip and handling characteristics for confident and repeatable results at the limit of driving dynamics.
TVR-A Technology The two-stage, patented TVR-A (Twin Valve Rebound - Adjustable) technology enables a small volume of oil to flow through an adjustable, conically shaped, low-speed bypass during low damper speeds, while in the case of higher damper speeds, the main rebound stage valve opens allowing a larger volumn of oil to flow. This provides a big improvement in terms of ride comfort without influencing the safety-relevant high-speed range. There are 16 precise clicks available for individual settings, so you can choose between more comfort or more body control.
TVC-A Technology With 12 precise clicks, the KW Variant 3 coilovers utilize TVC-A (Twin Valve Compression - Adjustable) technology and can increase or decrease the flow of valve to achieve either more or less low speed compression dampening. During sudden high speed impulses the spring loaded needle valve and the spring loaded main valve open to their maximum valve cross section, acting as a digressive blow-off characteristic to avoid transmitting undesired forces through the suspension into the chassis. This provides a better platform for the vehicle body and at the same time offers more comfort than with conventional valve technology during high wheel acceleration. The dampers come preset to our baseline shock settings right out of the box providing an optimal starting place for your car while providing a wide adjustment window for true performance optimization.

A EUROPEAN study involving nearly 1000 participants has found no link between mobile phone use and brain tumours in children and adolescents, a group that may be particularly sensitive to phone emissions.
After two decades of research, there’s little evidence conclusively linking mobile phone use in adults to major health problems, such as the development of brain tumours.
A 13-country study of adults, released last year, suggested that there was no increased brain-cancer risk for mobile phone users compared with non-users. However, the heaviest users appeared to have a slightly increased risk of a certain type of brain cancer.
But the study could be hobbled by a problem. “Participants with brain cancer may not have the best recall for how often they used their phones,” said Dr Straif. The researchers weren’t able to use billing records to precisely document the phone usage of study participants.

Nokia has lost the global crown it has held for 15 years and, after shipments of its expensive mobile phones fell by a third, is likely to fall to third place behind Samsung.
Nokia has led the market in smartphone shipments since 1996 but its market share came under attack after Apple launched its phone in 2007.
smartphone sales slid 32 per cent to 16.7 million. Apple sold 20 million iPhones in the same period
The plans also include a telephone service with $10 worth of calls a month.
Internode blamed the unexpectedly high prices on “existing flaws in the NBN Co wholesale charging model” and warned that regional customers could have to pay more to connect to the network.
The concerns centre on the two-tariff pricing structure that NBN Co is charging internet providers to gain access to the network. Under that model, internet service providers must pay a wholesale access fee for each customer they connect to the network, as well as a usage fee based on the amount of data carried.
Scott Hicks, the chief executive of South Australian ISP Adam Internet, said the NBN had set far higher prices to access its network than internet providers were paying today. Internet providers would need to connect at least a thousand NBN subscribers to each of the NBN’s 121 points of interconnect before they would start becoming profitable

RIM cuts 11 percent of workforce
Research In Motion said it plans to cut about 2000 jobs, or 11 percent of its workforce, detailing cuts that it first announced last month.
One analyst said the job cuts were slightly deeper than expected, but were key to RIM’s recovery from a slump triggered by stiff competition from Apple Inc and Google Inc.
“This is not totally unexpected. I think the size of (the cuts) is a little bit bigger than what they were intimating before,” said Jefferies & Co analyst Peter Misek.
“I think this is obviously realigning the cost structure to a new growth, or sales reality.”
RIM said one-time charges from the job cuts were not included in its outlook for the second quarter or for the full year, and it would explain the financial impact of the cuts when it reports second quarter results on Sept. 15.
The stock, already near multi-year lows, was down as much as 2 percent before the market opened.
RIM said the job cuts are “a prudent and necessary step” for its long-term success.
The BlackBerry maker also announced a string of changes to executive responsibilities and, in the latest departure, said Chief Operating Officer Don Morrison would retire.
Morrison, currently on temporary medical leave, will be leaving after more than 10 years at the company.
RIM said when it reported first quarter results last month that it would cut jobs to stay competitive, but it gave no details at the time.
It said on Monday that the job cuts bring RIM’s headcount to about 17,000 people.
Misek, who has an ‘underperform’ rating on RIM’s stock, said one thing to watch was when RIM would adopt its new QNX operating system.
“I think the key here, more than ever, is when do their products launch and what kind of reception will they have and most importantly, when will QNX come in. We don’t think those answers are here yet,” he said.

CHINESE authorities have closed two fake Apple stores in Yunnan province after a storm of publicity over the rip-off shops.
An investigation of 300 computer stores in the city of Kunming found five outlets using the Apple trademark without the company’s permission, said local news site kunming.cn.
Officials found two of the so-called Apple stores did not have a business licence and ordered them to stop operating pending the results of an inquiry, the report said.
The investigation into the fake stores was launched after an American blogger posted photos of a near-flawless copy of an Apple outlet showing employees wearing the company’s trademark blue T-shirts.
Blogger discovers fake Apple Stores in China
While the shop looked like a genuine Apple store, a closer inspection revealed poorly painted walls and a shopfront sign saying “Apple Store”. Real stores only display the logo.
The Apple website lists four official stores in China — two in Beijing and two in Shanghai, and none in Kunming.
China is home to the biggest counterfeit market in the world, and despite repeated government pledges to root out fake goods, these are still widely available throughout the country.

Google+ traffic dropping already?
Is the shine beginning to fade for Google+?
Google’s social-networking foray saw fewer U.S. visitors last week, and those who did visit spent less time on the site on average, according to new data released today by market researcher Experian Hitwise.
Google+ had 1.79 million visits for the week ending July 23, a decrease of 3 percent compared with the previous week when the network had 1.86 million visits, Experian Hitwise reported.
The average visit was 10 percent shorter, down from 5 minutes 50 seconds to 5 minutes 15 seconds.
Google declined to comment on specifics of the report but cautioned it’s based on the number of visitors and not the number of actual users. Google also said third-party metrics don’t factor in two “very critical” modes of interaction, namely mobile usage and navigation bar usage, in which members interact with Google+ from another Google product, such as the drop-down menu while in their Gmail account.
Google+, the Web giant’s latest attempt to challenge Facebook for the social-networking crown, launched late last month in a field trial, letting in only a handful of users, who could later invite their friends and family.
Despite this, Google+’s early growth has been meteoric, hitting the 20 million member mark in its first three weeks, according to data released last week by market researcher ComScore. If that data is accurate, Google would have doubled its membership in just one week. Google CEO Larry Page reported on July 14 that the social network had reached 10 million visitors and had received a “ton of activity” with more than 1 billion items shared and received each day.
Updated at 9:10 p.m. PT with Google cautioning about the report’s data.

Universities to bring 1Gbps broadband to local communities
Read more: http://news.cnet.com/8301-30686_3-20084489-266/universities-to-bring-1gbps-broadband-to-local-communities/#ixzz1TNDs79XT A group of 29 universities in the U.S. is banding together to bring ultra-high-speed broadband access to the communities surrounding their campuses in an effort to attract start-ups and spur innovation.
The project, called Gig.U, was announced today and aims to build world-class broadband infrastructure to attract high-tech start-ups to areas close to universities. Some of the sectors the project directors hope to target are health care, energy, and telecommunications.
Several of the universities participating in the program, including Arizona State University, Duke University, and University of Michigan, are not in a major metropolitan areas. And others, such as Howard University, University of Chicago, Case Western Reserve, and George Mason University, are in or are close to major cities. But most of the universities involved in the project are not in regions that are considered hotbeds of innovation for technology start-ups.
The hope is that the new infrastructure, which will provide broadband speeds up to 1Gbps to individuals and businesses, will create a hub where cutting-edge start-ups and other businesses will flock to be closer to university researchers and a pool of talented students and graduates.
The project itself is still in the early days, and details about funding haven’t been hammered out yet. But Blair Levin, a fellow at the Aspen Institute who is heading up the project, told the New York Times, that the group is not looking for government funding to build the network. Instead, Gig.U participants are reaching out to broadband companies and other private investors to partner on building the infrastructure.
“The idea is that current and existing providers would fund the networks,” Levin said in an e-mail to CNET. “But that universities and communities could explore ways to improve the business case by lowering capital cost and improving demand.”
Levin said that he has talked to all the major broadband providers and they are intrigued by the notion of a discrete market, such as the ones that the Gig.U networks would produce. But so far no broadband providers have offered firm commitments to participating or offering funding. That said, Levin emphasized that the participating universities will be targeting specific businesses and industries and will in effect create demand for the high speed networks.
The Gig.U project is similar to a network that Google is building. Earlier this year, Google said it would choose a few cities around the country to test new 1Gbps networks. In March, it announced Kansas City, Kansas, as the first city to get the 1Gbps test-network.
Google’s goal in building these ultra-fast broadband test-beds is to deliver more than 100 times the speed of broadband connection to communities and allow entrepreneurs and businesses to figure out what to do with all the bandwidth.
“High-speed Internet access must be much more widely available,” Eric Schmidt, Google’s chairman, said at the time. “Broadband is a major driver of new jobs and businesses, yet we rank only 15th in the world for access. More government support for broadband remains critical.”
Levin said that the goal of Google’s project and the Gig.U project are similar, which is to accelerate the deployment of next-generation networks. Prior to coming to the Aspen Institute, Levin worked at the FCC and was in charge of developing the agency’s National Broadband Plan. This plan calls on the extending broadband to every American and it promises to offer 100 Mbps broadband to 100 million people by 2020.
The Gig.U and Google plans could help make these plans a reality, as researchers and entrepreneurs develop applications to use more bandwidth.
“What we don’t know is how many great ideas and revolutionary products wait to see the light of day while network bandwidth and computer resources play catch up,” Hugh Hallman, mayor of Tempe, Ariz., where Arizona State University is located, said in a statement. “It is for this reason that the city of Tempe is partnering with Arizona State University and other leading research universities intent on accelerating the deployment of ultra-high speed data networks.”
But Levin added that even the goal of the Gig.U and Google projects is similar, the strategy for achieving the goals is different. The Gig.U initiative focuses exclusively on bringing high bandwidth to university communities, where Levin said there is demand for high speed Net access even outside the walls of the universities.
Most major universities already have access to cutting edge Internet technology and many are involved in research and development networks such as Internet 2, which is used to connect universities throughout the world to share data and also test new Internet technologies. But Gig.U is about extending the high speed Internet access outside the university to the private sector.
Elias Eldaryrie, chief information officer for the University of Florida in Gainsville, Fla., said that its important for the businesses in the community to have access to the same type of network resources that the universities have.
“In order for research universities and communities to grow and prosper together, we need access to the same technology,” he said. “Ultra-high-speed broadband is the new baseline; it’s where U.F. and Gainesville need to be so that we can compete together with the best the world has to offer.”

A Bellflower man was killed Monday in a standoff with deputies at his home, where he reportedly held his girlfriend captive, officials said.
Deputies were trying to get the man to surrender peacefully, when he was shot and pronounced dead at the scene, said Nicole Nishida, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
It was unclear whether the man was armed, she said. His girlfriend was not injured during the more than six-hour standoff.
Deputies received a disturbance call about 5:30 a.m. that the man was refusing to allow his girlfriend to leave his home in the 8800 block of Artesia Boulevard, Nishida said.
Soon after, SWAT and crisis negotiators arrived at the home and attempted to talk to the man.
Several residents were evacuated during the standoff for their safety.

if you know that today Argentina, which is out of any possibility of taking money from voluntary international financial markets. With a country risk rate navigating 1,800 basis points, the country today would pay a rate above 20% to be able to borrow. And the situation would get worse even if the Fed raised interest rates, something that seems not to have to face in these times of Powell’s re-election. Nevertheless, The financial strategy of the Government of Alberto Fernández and the Minister of Economy, Martín Guzmán, includes that after the long-awaited and delayed agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the country’s perspective on world markets changes, and slowly return to analyze the reality of Argentina as a possible borrower.
Obviously this will not happen quickly. It is not even something that can be thought of for 2022. Or even 2023. But it is Guzmán’s idea for when the country must start paying principal and interest on the restructured debt. The minister knows that it is not the same to liquidate those maturities that will slowly fall on the Argentine economy, they should not be faced with reserves, but rather settled with voluntary debt at reasonable interest rates. For this you need two things. That there is no international financial world with rising rates, which would seem to be contrary to Powell’s ideas. The news from Washington goes in this direction.
The most difficult is the second chapter. In order for Argentina to return to the international financial market, it must order its monetary, fiscal, exchange variables, etc.; something that is far from happening, and that only with strict compliance with an Extended Facilities agreement with the IMF could be achieved. Alberto Fernández, Guzmán and the rest of the economic team are optimistic. They believe that a productive agreement will be concluded with the agency, that the agreed goals will be met and that the main economic and financial variables of the country will begin to settle. And that there, towards the end of 2024, a return of Argentina to international markets could be analyzed, with the sole purpose of refinancing the private debt that is maturing. It will be seen.
There is something closer in time that could be achieved if the continuity of Powell and his policies is confirmed, if there is an agreement with the IMF and if the country begins to comply with it. Those who could access the voluntary international credit markets would be some private companies that have been delaying their investments in the country on the basis of credit from the global voluntary financial market due to the country’s delays in closing its conflict with the IMF. It is known that Argentina has a delay, of floor, of about US $ 10,000 million annually only in infrastructure investments; and that only by closing a normal agreement with the Fund could credit lines be unlocked at reasonable rates for the private world. If, in addition, Powell’s strategy is sustained, the faster the acceleration in the taking of these funds may be. In these cases, there could be news in the first half of 2022.

Automotive Fleet recently had the opportunity to test drive the all-new 2022 Volkswagen Taos compact SUV, which is the newest member of the VW’s SUV lineup. It is available in either a front-wheel-drive (FWD) or an all-drive configuration. I had an opportunity to drive both models. The FWD version is powered by a 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 158 hp and 184 lb.-ft. of torque paired with an 8-speed automatic. The 4Motion all-wheel-drive model has the same engine, but is mated to a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic.
My driving experience showed that the turbocharged engine provides quick acceleration when merging into traffic with all-round good performance. Behind the wheel, the Taos conveys a feeling of being solidly built. The cabin is quiet and does a good job in insulating the driver from outside road noise. The interior is roomy and it provides good road visibility. The second row seat is large with plenty of legroom and headroom for a compact SUV.
The VW Taos is available in three trim levels—S, SE, and SEL. It is based on Volkswagen’s MQB architecture and is slotted under the Tiguan.
The Taos is 175.8 inches long, just 9.3 inches shy of Tiguan. The front-wheel-drive Taos has a wheelbase of 105.9 inches; it is 72.5 inches wide and 64.4 inches tall. The all-wheel-drive Taos has a wheelbase of 105.6 inches; it is 72.5 inches wide and 64.6 inches tall.
Thanks to its long wheelbase, the Taos has 99.5 cubic feet of cargo space—just 1.6 cu ft less than the two-row Tiguan front-wheel-drive model. From an ergonomic standpoint, the Taos has a low lift-over height of its cargo floor, which will be welcomed by salespeople or service techs who require frequent access the trunk area.
Passive and Active Safety
The Taos provides a combination of passive and active safety systems. It features six airbags as standard (front and side airbags for front passengers and side curtain airbags for outboard seating positions), along with a number of electronic safety systems, such as an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Stability Control (ESC).
A standard feature on the 2022 Taos is VW’s Automatic Post-Collision Braking System. The Taos also includes VW’s Intelligent Crash Response System that shuts off the fuel pump, unlocks the doors, and switches on the hazard lights if the car is involved in certain types of collisions.
Volkswagen’s IQ.DRIVE advanced driver assistance technology features hands-on semi-automated capability. On the highway, IQ.DRIVE features lane centering and a capacitive steering wheel to make driving easier. It is available on S and SE models in packages, and is standard on SEL models. The system utilizes front and rear radar, a front camera and several ultrasound sensors to collect data from the surrounding area, enabling Travel Assist (semi-automated driving assistance); Front Assist (Forward Collision Warning and Autonomous Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Monitoring); Active Blind Spot Monitor; Rear Traffic Alert; Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Stop and Go; Lane Assist (Lane Keeping System); and Emergency Assist (semi-automated vehicle assistance in a medical emergency).
Warranty & Maintenance
The 2022 Taos has a bumper-to-bumper for four years or 50,000-miles and can be transferred to a subsequent owner throughout the remainder of its duration. The Carefree Maintenance Program provides scheduled maintenance services for two years or 20,000 miles at no additional charge and can be transferred to a subsequent owner.
