bid farewell to Ronald McDonald
By Vin Suprynowicz
All those Cassandras who warned that banning the advertising character Joe Camel from billboards and magazines (such advertising of perfectly legal products having been banished from TV decades before) would only be "the cartoon character's nose under the tent," are now officially authorized to say, "I told you so."
Businesses spend an estimated $13 billion a year marketing food and drinks to U.S. children and their parents, according to "Food Politics," a new book by Marion Nestle, chair of the Department of Nutrition and Food Studies at New York University. That's an increase of $5 billion in the last decade. And "Often, the stuff they're selling is not the perfect nourishment for growing minds and bodies," gasps Emilia Askari of the Detroit Free Press, in a lengthy "something-must-be-done" essay circulated last week to other members and subscribers of the Knight Ridder/Tribune Information Service.
Type 2 diabetes, previously considered an adult-onset disease, has increased drastically among youth nationwide, we are now advised. About 14 percent of U.S. children and youth are too heavy, "and chunky kids can face social discrimination that leads to poor self-esteem and depression, according to the surgeon general."
Oh, will the litany of horrors never end?
"Many experts -- and some legislators and parents -- are beginning to speak out against the marketing of low-nutrition food to children," Ms. Askari reports. "If the courts and government can outlaw the selling of cancer-causing cigarettes to kids, they ask, why not limit the hawking of obesity-inducing food as well? Is Joe Camel really so different from Ronald McDonald?"
As humorist Dave Barry would say, I am not making this up.
"It won't be easy, because the broadcasters and the food companies have a lot of influence," warns Margo Wootan, director of nutrition policy for the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a nonprofit outfit (naturally) in Washington, D.C. "But it's important. Unhealthy eating habits, along with inactivity, kill as many people as tobacco does."
Heavens, whatever shall be done?
The anti-obesity activists' first target is to "get advertising and vending machines out of schools," we are informed. But it won't stop there.
They next hope to ban food advertising during programming "aimed at young children, such as cartoons." If the ads cannot be banned, then, Wootan suggests, media should be forced to carry ads for fruits, grains and other healthy alternatives along with ads for less-nutritious processed food.
Finally, "some even talk of bringing a class action against food companies, similar to the successful lawsuits in recent years by cancer patients against tobacco companies."
Oh good: the trial lawyers.
About half of all advertising aimed at kids is for food, Ms. Wootan announces, with a "that-proves-it" tone. Yet to what other potential advertisers would she prefer the television networks attempt to sell time on Saturday morning -- purveyors of chainsaws, firearms, lingerie and sexual aids?
Steve Grover of the National Restaurant Association calmly responds that many schools have stopped requiring physical education and nutrition training. "We don't teach people to make good food choices. Then when they don't, we blame the food."
Even author Nestle of NYU acknowledges that societal shifts like the reduction in opportunities for physical play contribute to childhood weight problems. Yet such "activists" respond not primarily by recommending more parental oversight and participation in healthy exercise with their children, but rather by calling on government to censor television advertising, on the assumption that absentee parents will continue to use this service as cheap, long-term day care.
Meantime, writers like Ms. Askari seem curiously unable to locate any of the many economic "experts" who might explain the very palpable benefits of advertising -- above and beyond the fact there's that little Constitutional guarantee of the freedom of speech to be dealt with.
The number of new products which have revolutionized American life in the past century are almost beyond count. And make no mistake, many of those products had to break through considerable prejudice that even allowing their mention in public was somehow "in bad taste."
Many of these products could never have repaid the investment necessary to make them widely available at low cost if their advertising had continued to be effectively banned. Meantime, the hundreds of millions of dollars outfits like McDonald's have invested in their brand names give them a vested interest in maintaining high and consistent quality.
Yes, much of what gets advertised is crap. But when the public refuses to buy any particular line of crap, advertising dollars tend to dry up in a hurry. (Ask the folks who spent millions developing the "smokeless cigarette," or "New Coke.")
At bottom, these do-gooders hate the fact that American consumers are allowed to buy what they like, instead of what the experts contend is "good for them." Instead of listing the growth of advertising dollars as though it's prima facie evidence of evil intent, the activists might want to go back and review the general level of nutrition and quality of consumer goods enjoyed by societies that have banned "wasteful" advertising by "self-serving marketers" ... like the Soviet Union.
Ms. Askari refers to the highly-advertised foods in question as "low-nutrition." In fact, the reason so many Americans are obese is not because they're being peddled worthless, adulterated, and non-nutritious foods, but rather that they're eating "too much of a good thing." Calories are, after all, nothing but a measurement of a food's energy content.
What we have here is a clear-cut example of a bunch of firemen racing about looking for something else to hose down, because they've pretty much run out of real fires. So they turn to blaming another industry that's enjoying huge profits both because their natural bent is anti-capitalist and anti-free-market, and because they see there another set of pockets deep enough to be worth going after.
"Bad eating habits cost lives"? Yes, statistically ... and eventually.
But so do motorcycling and football and driving your car without a helmet. Will they next ...
Whoops. Forget I said that.

There's a new kind of energy drink that promises to energise not only the body, but also the brain. For once, apparently this isn't actually fake science!
Meet truBrain, the energy drinks with 'smart drugs' in them...
What is it?
Energy drinks with nootropics, the new face of brain food. These aren’t ordinary post-workout energy recovery drinks, or the sugar- and caffeine-filled confections that stack the shelves at Spar, but brain- and focus-boosting drinks.
Why haven’t I heard of it until now?
Health-food and energy-drink fads come and go so quick, it’s pretty easy to miss a few, but this one is hot off the presses. According to the makers of these nootropic drinks (apparently the first in the world), truBrain, they were developed by neuroscientists for increasing focus. They’re only available directly from the makers, and not from any stores or supermarkets, so they’re not exactly out there yet.
Is it good for me?
Nootropics are also known as smart drugs, which makes them sound much scarier than they are. The umbrella term includes medication for cognitive disorders like Alzheimers, but also natural supplements and remedies that are believed to help your brain run at its best. The truBrain drinks contain the latter natural remedies such as Caffeine and L-Theanine (basically what you find in green tea, or oxiracetam and citicoline, which helps the brain use more energy). They’re like hardcore stimulants for the brain, so use with caution.
How much will it cost?
truBrain, the producers of these brain-wonder-drinks, sell supplies of 15, 30 or 60 drinks in monthly or one-time plans (ranging from about €50-€150), so you’re not likely to pick these ones up in your local Spar.
What does it taste like?
These drink probably taste pretty similar to most sweetened energy drinks, though these have ‘natural’ sweeteners like cane sugar, blue agave, and they also include monk fruit and mangosteen for flavour.

LaCie are Seagate’s premium brand and the Rugged range of external drives sit under the company’s Professional banner. Instantly recognisable by their bright orange Neil Poulton designed protective enclosures, the Rugged series has been around for over a decade.
The range is constantly changing and updating to reflect advances in drive technology, i.e. SSD versions and interfaces, i.e Thunderbolt and USB-C connections, the latter is the one that the Rugged RAID PRO drive uses.
There has been a small but significant design change with the Rugged RAID PRO in that the USB-C cable isn’t integrated with the drive so there is no need for the deep channel in the rubber case as with other Rugged drives. But on the flip side it does mean you have to remember to take the USB cable(s) with you if you use the drive on the move.
The drive is IP54 rated. The IP (Ingress Protection or International Protection Rating) rating is an international standard to define the sealing levels of electrical enclosures against dirt and water. The first digit indicates the level of protection against solids while the second indicates the protection against water. The first digit ranges from 0 (no protection) up to 6 for something that is dust tight. The second digit ranges from 0 (no protection) up to 8 – full protection from total immersion in water beyond 1m.
An IP54 rating means that the Rugged is protected from limited dust ingress and protected from water spray from any direction with limited ingress protection.
LaCie quote a file transfer rate of up to 250MB/s for the Rugged RAID PRO. In the ATTO benchmark when the drives were in a RAID 0 array, we confirmed those figures with scores of 259MB/s for reads and 266MB/s for writes. However with the disks built into a RAID 1 array, the read figure dropped to 131MB/s while writes came in at 133MB/s.
In our throughput tests when the drives were in a RAID 0 array the drive peaked at 354MB/s for reads and 318MB/s for writes. However for the whole test it averaged just 169MB/s for reads and 171MB/s for writes.
To make the most of the performance the USB-C connection offers, you really need to be using SSD’s but unfortunately at the time of writing there is no SSD version of the Rugged RAID PRO available.
We found the LaCie Rugged RAID PRO on Span.com for £302.40 (inc VAT) HERE
- Psychical data protection.
- RAID 1 data protection.
- SD card reader.
- Disk’s don’t make the most of the interface.
Kitguru says: LaCie’s Rugged products have always been popular with professional photographers and video makers who are constantly on the move and the Rugged RAID PRO does bring RAID data protection and a useful SD card slot to the table, but the choice of mechanical hard drives doesn’t make the most of the USB-C interface.

Elections are Important, but We Can’t Lose Our Souls
Elections, even in non-pandemic years, can bring out some of the best and the worst of America. Both parties, in their convention productions, were a mix of both. The aspirational, inspirational moments are the best — though, of course, may promise too much about what electing one ticket to the White House could possibly do.
Politics Isn’t Everything
At the same time, they are important reminders that policy isn’t mere ideological adherence: It affects human lives. Family lives. It’s important, noble work. But in campaign season, it can become harder to remember that politics isn’t everything. We don’t get our meaning from politics, but rather, it is a necessary exercise: Our vote and our engagement in politics is one way we live out our civic responsibilities.
Politics is not a never-ending reality TV show for our entertainment or distraction. And it’s not religion. As Sister Deirdre Byrne put it during her Republican convention segment, there’s such a thing as eternal life, and this life — including politics — should be part of our expression of gratitude for our very lives and hope for something greater. Anything inconsistent with that journey should have no place in politics.
What Pro-Life Means
This leads us to abortion. There’s a lot of dismissal of “single-issue voters” these days — the assumption that everyone who is opposed to abortion will vote for Donald Trump. Let’s set that aside for a moment. In recent weeks, I’ve expressed my disappointment in Joe Biden, and in the fact that the Democrats have refused to make room in their party for people who consider abortion the preeminent human rights issue. For that, I have been told I am a “so-called” pro-lifer.
I actually agree with all those who insist that “pro-life” needs to mean more than defending the life of the unborn. Rather, we as individuals and as a society must do all that we can to make life plausible: to ensure single mothers and families have a fighting chance. We can’t look away from the children in foster care who will never have a shot without the love of a family. Absolutely, “pro-life” should mean more than “opposed to abortion.” And anyone who has been around the pro-life movement has seen that it so often is. It’s people full of love for a mom who just needs some confidence and resources — people walking with her for more than nine months.
Joe Biden’s Take on Abortion
The other day, a Catholic priest responded to one of my columns mentioning Joe Biden and abortion. He explained that he’s voting for Biden, considering him to be pro-life. Here’s the problem with that: While I’m with Father in wanting to help vulnerable children in all kinds of situations, you can’t be pro-life and adhere to the extremist abortion policies of the Democratic party.
There’s a reason that the Democrats didn’t talk all that much about abortion during their convention — because that’s not the pitch you want to make to people. The vast majority of Americans want to see some restrictions on abortion; they don’t see abortion as a good thing, but they want women in desperate situations to have options. “There but for the grace of God go I,” many think.
But like other words we use in our politics, “pro-life” begins to lose all meaning if you can claim to be personally opposed to, but publicly radically supportive of, legal abortion. And not just its legality, but its expansion. Just look to Andrew Cuomo for an example of that: a supposed leading light of Democratic politics, who expanded legal abortion in a state that was already considered the abortion capital of the country.
Democrats Aren’t Pro-Life
The Democratic party has chosen to double down on the death of innocents. That is what abortion is: a law that says the unborn can be treated as inconvenient and thrown away. The value of that human life is determined by the mother under the influence of her circumstances and the pressures she is under. The Republicans are far from perfect, to say the least. But the Democrats refuse to stand for the vulnerable unborn, and it’s a lie to call them pro-life.
I have hopes that in a non-election year, people who call themselves pro-life and those who choose the pro-choice label can work together on foster care, adoption, paid family leave and other issues that we can agree on besides the “A” word. I’d like to see a day when fewer people consider themselves pro-choice because they see pregnancy help centers and communities that truly live the Beatitudes and help women — and anyone — in need.
In the meantime, let’s not lose our heads — or our souls — over an election. There’s more to life; there’s more to do.

Collaborative and Adaptive Dam Operation for Flood Control
Kizugawa Dams Integrated Operation and Management Office, Japan Water Agency
2811-2 Shimohinachi, Nabari-City, Mie 518-0413, Japan
Flood control by a dam is generally executed to follow the predetermined operation rule, which can determine the required outflow discharge in accordance with the change in inflow. However, when flood damage could be reduced by using the dam flood control capacity to its limit, the dam would be expected to store as much water as possible without any regard to the predetermined operation. Occasionally, an adaptive operation for flood control would be effective in such cases, for example, to reduce dam outflow discharge compared to the predetermined outflow discharge to match river flow capacity, which is low in some downstream parts of a dam, or to ease one river to flow down quickly by storing and retarding another river flow by dams. However, such an adaptive operation is non-typical and requires extra effort in addition to being risky to dam managers and the people along the rivers. This paper introduces two cases of adaptive flood control for the flood control executed in the Yodo river in 2009 and 2013 and then describes the systems applied in the Kizugawa Dams Integrated Operation and Management Office (KDIIMO), Japan Water Agency (JWA) to execute an adaptive operation for flood control in a safer manner.

Former Chairman Of Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation Sentenced To 18 Months In Federal Prison
For Immediate Release
U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Connecticut
Deirdre M. Daly, Acting United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, and Patricia M. Ferrick, Special Agent in Charge of the New Haven Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, announced that MICHAEL THOMAS, 45, the former Chairman of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Council, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Janet Bond Arterton in New Haven to 18 months of imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release, for embezzling from the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation.
On July 24, 2013, a jury found THOMAS guilty of one count of theft from an Indian tribal organization and two counts of theft from an Indian tribal government receiving federal funds.
“Mr. Thomas’s embezzlement of more than $100,000 was not only an abuse of his position as Chairman of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, but also a theft of federal funds,” stated Acting U.S. Attorney Daly. “The U.S. Attorney’s Office is committed to prosecuting corrupt officials at all levels of government – federal, state, local and tribal – and I commend the FBI and Department of the Interior’s Office of Inspector General for their diligent investigation of this matter.”
“Today’s sentence is especially important because it holds Mr. Thomas accountable for stealing federal dollars to support a lifestyle which he could have legitimately afforded on his own,” stated FBI Special Agent in Charge Ferrick. “During these particularly severe fiscal times, Mr. Thomas’ abuse of position and unauthorized use of tribal money were done with a sense of entitlement and without ambiguity. The FBI is most appreciative of the efforts of the United States Attorney’s Office and the Department of the Interior’s Office of Inspector General for working with us to investigate and prosecute the corruption of public officials at all levels.”
According to the evidence at trial, between October 2007 and April 2009, THOMAS used an American Express card that was issued to him by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation (“MPTN”) for official MPTN government purposes to charge more than $100,000 in unauthorized personal expenses. THOMAS used the card to pay for monthly satellite television service for his home, satellite radio service for his vehicle, mobile phone service for other individuals, car service to transport his mother to kidney dialysis treatments and the purchase of personal computers. THOMAS knew that the expenses were personal, and that his use of the credit card was in violation of a Tribal Council Resolution.
Judge Arterton will issue a restitution order after further court proceedings.
This matter was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and U.S. Department of the Interior – Office of Inspector General. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Christopher Mattei and Douglas Morabito.

The height adjustment feature makes it easy for people of different heights to get accustomed to this mower, and there are several benefits that this particular product provides to its users.
The enhanced control and comfort that this one features is due to the high quality tread wheels that are designed to have more grip through fields of grass.

Independent commission to be set up
King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa announced yesterday that an independent commission was to be established to investigate the events of the February and March protests.
“The grave events which took place have created unprecedented distress and tension, prompting many to fear that the policy of democracy and openness we have emphasised since the beginning of our reign might give an opportunity for some extremists to hijack the nation and take it into chaos and extremism,” he said.
He defended the stance taken by the government and security forces which resulted in around 30 deaths, imprisonment and destruction of mosques.
“In the face of what happened, it was not possible to ignore or shirk the responsibility to restore security and stability in the country and to protect the citizens and institutions which we have sworn to maintain,” he said.
And he justified the violence by saying “Despite the enormity of what happened, it was nothing compared to what happened or is happening in other countries”.
The King also stated Bahrain’s commitment to human rights and pointed to the National Dialogue which the government is hoping will involve everyone but which many opposition groups have already rejected.
The commission will be headed by Professor Cherif Bassiouni, known for his work in international criminal justice. Other members of the five strong commission are a British lawyer, Nigel Rodley, a Canadian lawyer, Philippe Kirsch, a UN legal officer Mahnoush Arsanjani, and a Kuwaiti lawyer, Badria al-Awadhi.
The commission has been asked to complete its report by 30th October.

Here Is No Why Lyrics
The endless drags of a death rock boy
Mascara sure and lipstick lost
Glitter burned by restless thoughts of being forgotten
And in your sad machines
You'll forever stay
Desperate and displeased-with whoever...

IF CERTAIN MEMBERS of the D.C. Council can overcome intramural hang-ups about being vetoed, they have an opportunity to enact a significant interstate banking bill -- one that could deliver dollars to parts of town that haven't seen many in a while. That's why Mayor Barry wound up vetoing the too-narrow measure that the council sent to him; he recognized the benefits of rethinking the earlier proposal and reaping the fruits of real competition in banking here. There's money on the table from big banks eager to aid development and attract individual customers -- and the challenge is to pass a bill that will guarantee delivery on all promises.
There are ways to spell this out. Mayor Barry has proposed that those institutions eager for immediate entry into the District's market agree to invest more than $100 million within two years and to hire 200 District residents. They also would be restricted in the initial period to operations in areas designated as having inadequate banking service. Other banks could enter after two years. There's no magic to these specific numbers; the council could revise them -- keeping in mind that the higher the price the more likely that only the biggest banks will move in.
One narrow consideration raised by local bankers who don't relish any more competition outside of a limited region has do with Citicorp's investments in South Africa. Regardless of feelings about Citicorp's policy, council members should consider the banking legislation not as a bill for or against Citicorp -- but as legislation to open competition to any bank fulfilling whatever stipulations the mayor and council may agree to.
The whole point is to enact a measure that can make a difference throughout the city. It is too important a prospect to dismiss for narrow reasons.

This article was originally published during 2019’s Festival de Cannes. We are republishing the piece as the film releases into theaters.
Ever since becoming a big movie star a few years back, Adam Driver hasn’t had as many opportunities to demonstrate the comedy chops he showed off early in his career. Those are the kinds of trade-offs you make when you sign up for Star Wars, but still, thank heavens for Jim Jarmusch’s The Dead Don’t Die, which just kicked off this year’s Cannes Film Festival, for reminding us all of what a joy the actor can be when he leans fully into his laconic weirdo mode.
For an opening film, Jarmusch’s zombie comedy had something of a muted reception upon its premiere Tuesday night. It’s not hard to see why: It’s a screwy, meta romp so casual even the impending zombie apocalypse is greeted with nothing more than a half-hearted shrug. That kind of tone is not ideal for anything approaching stakes or satire, but the laid-back vibe works great for Driver — the film’s whole deal is a slow serve that lets him put as much English on his lines as possible.
And what English it is! As one of a pair of cops in small-town Pennsylvania fighting back the undead hordes, Driver already had a minor moment when the internet cottoned on to the way he said the word ghouls in the film’s trailer, summoning every bit of his Julliard training to pronounce the word with equal parts intensity and absurdity. I’m here to tell you, the full film has plenty more where that came from. Did you know you needed the experience of hearing Adam Driver saying the phrase “coroner from Latrobe” in your life? Probably not, but you’ll be glad you did.
Alongside the aforementioned ghouls, here are some more common words Driver manages to invest with previously unseen levels of silliness: yuck, bad news, decapitate, and reanimated. He also announces, apropos of very little, that he has “an affinity for Mexicans,” with a stentorian tone that somehow brings to mind the glory days of Mitt Romney.
Jarmusch clearly knows what he’s got in Driver, and he has a lot of fun with the actor’s physical frame, jamming him into a tiny Smartcar for no reason I can think of except that it looks incredibly goofy. He made it a convertible, too, just so we can get an even closer look at how ridiculous the hulking actor looks tooling around rural Pennsylvania in a tiny car. (Or maybe because Driver simply wouldn’t fit in it otherwise.)
There’s a lot going on in The Dead Don’t Die, and ultimately, in a film that includes not only zombies but also aliens, samurai swords, fracking jokes, Tom Waits as a backwoodsman, and numerous breakings of the fourth wall, Driver serves as a crucial grounding force. He’s responsible for most of Jarmusch’s zanier meta touches, but thanks to his deadpan delivery, they land more than they don’t. When Driver’s character reminds Bill Murray that the song they’re listening to is the theme song of the movie they’re in, he’s not doing it with a nod or a wink; he’s simply stating a fact because it’s true. Just like it’s true they’re not dealing with wild animals, or even multiple animals, but “full-on, flesh-eating zombie shit.” Or, as Driver puts it in a moment that still brings the house down even after everyone knows it’s coming, “ghouls.”


Since last year, smartphone companies are making mobiles with 128GB of storage. Personally, I feel 64GB storage is more than enough. But for people who are not satisfied with 128GB of storage, Asus are about to launch Zenfone 2 with 256GB of internal storage.
The thing to note is that this device will offer other specs as Zenfone 2 variants only with no change except for internal memory. This device becomes another variant and number of devices with name Zenfone 2 are increasing more and more.
Lets have a recap of specs for this device – 5.5″ 1080p display, Intel quad-core Atom SoC, 4GB of RAM, 13MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera.
Asus Zenfone 2 Deluxe Special Edition will be available in two designs. One is light colored with polygon shapes in the back, while the second is more traditional, touting a textured black cover.
One bad news is that this device will be launched only in Brazil and not in any other countries.

(SACRAMENTO) – Assemblymember Steve Bennett (D-Ventura) announced that legislation to assist breweries with duplicative licensing requirements was signed by the Governor today.
"We are honored to have the support of Assemblymember Bennett's team to update the current Business and Professions Code (Sec 25607) as it pertains to alcoholic beverages. Updating these regulatory laws (AB 1734) allows small Californian producers of beer and wine like Draughtsmen Aleworks the ability to sell the beverages we make at our satellite locations. We are excited to be able to offer all of our craft beers, wines and ciders at our taprooms in Goleta, Santa Barbara and soon Solvang," said Tami Snow, Partner at Draughtsman Aleworks, "We appreciate the time and attention from Assemblymember Bennett’s staff reviewing and revising these alcohol regulatory laws in order to make them more equitable and easier to understand and to navigate. We and many small businesses like us in California are fortunate to have this type of support from our representative and we are excited that it allows us to grow all our businesses."
"If there’s one thing the pandemic has shown us is that giving small businesses more flexibility helps them succeed, particularly in these challenging times." Said Assemblymember Bennett. "Draughtsman Aleworks, a local brewery and community partner in Santa Barbara and Goleta, has worked hard to serve the community and expand their business. Many of these types of restrictions are leftover from prohibition and need to be brought into the 21st Century. If we can play a role in responsibly reducing regulatory requirements, we should. I am happy to partner with them in this effort."
"This bill supports important Tied-House laws by creating a common sense fix for businesses to better serve their customers. We appreciate Assemblymember Bennett’s efforts to protect these important alcohol regulatory laws while making them easier to understand and navigate." Said Lori Ajax, Executive Director of the California Craft Brewers Association.
AB 1734, a common sense measure, would allow multiple license holders, under identical ownership, to sell their beer and wine product together at their locations. The bill passed the Senate earlier this month and has enjoyed bipartisan support in both houses.

Suzie Morris leaves behind a great job and the man she loved in North Carolina to become a kids’ swim coach in Florida. There is a doctor there who may finally be able to cure her of the mysterious disease that has ravaged her body. But in Gail Pallotta’s touching contemporary romance novel, Barely Above Water, Suzie’s search for physical healing leads her to discover something she didn’t expect. The kind of love that can also heal her wounded soul. Nancy Mehl - award winning author of the Finding Sanctuary series.
The main theme in Gail Pallotta's Barely Above Water is "overcoming incredible odds." Readers will find themselves rooting for characters who face illness, unemployment, and heartbreak. I think you'll thoroughly enjoy this story about trust and faith! (Loree Lough, bestselling author of more than 100 award-winning books, including RT 4.5-star Top Pick, Saving Alyssa [Harlequin Heartwarming].)
Gail Pallotta introduces us to a world with options when it comes to taking care of our bodies. She speaks with authority on the subject because she understands it first hand. Gail Pallotta's characters are real and convincing because they come from a place of understanding. Gail's love story is fragile and tender, but with an inner strength that comes from trust and faith in God. Gail Pallotta's story is inspiring and resonates with hope when all hope seems to be gone. A lovely story with well defined and well developed characters, and a story line with factual information that will help, or at least educate, readers.” Deborah Stone, Reader's Favorite Book Reviews

Students, parents, and staff filled the library of St. Anne School in the evening of April 17 as several weeks worth of work was unveiled.
The mural—created in partnership with renowned First Nations artist Kevin Peeace thanks to a Saskatchewan Arts Board Artist in Schools grant—contained input from each and every student and displayed the vibrancy and life expected in Peeace’s work.
The school-wide inquiry set out to answer the question: How does Indigenous land-based education and art inspire us to see Indigenous culture in our day-to-day lives? (Inquiry learning seeks to answer broad questions by integrating age-appropriate information and lessons from a variety of subject and curricular areas, instead of learning individual subject areas in isolation from each other.)
“We saw the grant as an opportunity to work with artist Kevin Peeace to co-create a mural honouring the students’ understanding of the reciprocal relationship with the land through the teachings of Elders and Knowledge Keepers,” said Carol Engel, vice-principal at St. Anne School. “It is an enduring reminder of our students’ journey that we hope will be a legacy piece for the school for many years to come.”
The project began with a kick-off event on February 26, when each student was given a sketchbook for them to create ideas. Peeace spent the next eight weeks working with students, compiling and organizing their work into what has now become a mural in the library.
Peeace said, “Projects like these are important to foster a better understanding of the environment around us and how it impacts our relationship with each other.”

Cucumber as man's best food – Research
Nature has provided man the best cure for ill health in the form of herbs, vegetables and fruits. One particular vegetable that does wonderful things in human health is the cucumber. Apart from being a vegetable that is good to eat, it has other awesome uses. Its nutritional fact shows that it provides the body with essential vitamins and nutrients and contains a large dose of antioxidants, minerals and polyphenols.
Cucumber, according to medical experts, helps to reduce the risk of chronic disease and prolongs life without producing any side effect. Cucumber is readily available in the markets, supermarkets or at grocery shops. It is low in calories and has a relatively high fibre content, which, when combined with a gram of protein per cup enhances its fat burning properties. Cucumber does not contain any fat, cholesterol or sodium. Minerals present in it include calcium, iron, manganese, zinc, potassium and selenium among others.
Research findings have revealed that cucumbers are 95 percent water. This helps to keep the body hydrated while helping it eliminate toxins. The flesh of a cucumber is a very good source of Vitamins A, C and folic acid, which are antioxidants that protect the body from free radicals and lowers the risk of various cancers and illnesses due to damaged cells.
Cucumber, an edible and nutritious vegetable, which comes from the cucumber plant, Cucumis Sativas, is a part of the gourd family. It can be eaten raw or cooked and this makes it one of the most important items of a good diet.
Felicita Ogbu, a doctor said that cucumbers aid digestion and weight loss. “It is an ideal diet for people, who want to lose weight and the fibre in it is very effective in ridding the body of toxins from the digestive system, aiding digestion and preventing chronic constipation.
Acccording to Jennifer Ani, a nutritionist, cucumber works extensively for men. Cucumbers are useful in the treatment of some special men's problems.
“The major one is erectile dysfunction and in this situation, the usual cucumber is the cure. This effect is achieved by improvement of blood circulation in the groin area. The plenty of vitamins and microelements help to overcome male pattern baldness,” Ani said.
The skin can be used for skin irritations and sunburns, which affect the body. The silicon and sulphur in it help to stimulate hair growth as well as be a relief to bad breath. Cucumbers are an excellent source of silica, which is known to help promote joint health by strengthening the connective tissues.
“They contain lariciresinol, pinoresinol, and secoisolariciresinol, which have a strong history in connection with reduced risk of several cancer types, including breast cancer, prostate cancer, uterine cancer, and ovarian cancer. The juice contains a lot of potassium, magnesium and fibre, which is very helpful in regulating blood pressure. This makes cucumber essentially good for treating both low and high blood pressure,” she said.
She said that the organic compounds in cucumbers, which are known as lignans help to prevent the emergence of cancers, especially those organs, which are connected with reproductive capabilities of the body.
“Cucumbers are among the four most cultivated vegetables in the world and are known to be one of the best foods for one's overall health and they are often referred to as super foods.
“One of the unknown cucumber benefits is that it can relieve the symptoms of a hangover, you can eat them just before going to bed after a loud party and save yourself a headache in the morning, due to water and other organic elements the alcohol is excreted from the body faster,” she said.
Ani advised that cucumbers should be used in soups and salads, but warned that if they are not “your favourite snack, you can eat crunchy cucumber sticks with creamy low fat yogurt dip, chewing cucumbers gives the jaws a good workout and the fibre in them is good for digestion.
“The daily consumption of cucumber can be regarded as an aid for chronic constipation and it can also help in reducing the uric acid levels in the body and help to keep the kidneys healthy and in good shape,” Ani added.

The following is taken from “The History of the First Presbyterian Church” published on its 125th anniversary in 1951. The photo above is from that year. First Presbyterian is located in the heart of the Old West End at 937 Main Street.
In 1804, the growth of the town of Danville had gotten to a point where needed school facilities were arranged for and, also, religious services. The labors of Rev. James Tompkins, of the Presbyterian order, were obtained. He ministered to the community for twelve months but did not establish a church.
During December 1826, a young licentiate, William S. Plumer, of the Presbytery of New Brunswick, was sent by the Synod of North Carolina to locate a mission point in Danville. He seems to have labored well, for two Presbyterian ministers, Rev. Samuel L. Graham and Rev. James N. Douglass, were attracted by the interest shown to hold a two-day meeting in the town on December 30 and 31, administering the sacrament of the Lord’s supper on the latter date. This was the first time that a communion service had been held here and people were profoundly, moved by it.
Two people who heard the visiting evangelists were so stirred that they formed themselves into a church forthwith. Both of them offered their letters as their qualification for membership, Mrs. Jane Thornton, hers from Pearl street church, New York City, and Mr. James Ross, his from his church in Ireland. Their remains lie in the old Grove Street Cemetery.
Thus, on December 31, 1826, the First Presbyterian Church of Danville in the Commonwealth of Virginia, came into being, the first church in the town.
Evidently the seeds of Grace had fallen on the good ground of many hearts, for frequent inquiry meetings were held which were very solemn and serious occasions, resulting in additions to the church that increased the membership to 34 by the time that Orange Presbytery met in Danville on May 19, 1827, to ordain Mr. Plumer and install him as the first pastor of the new church. These services were, by their qualities of reverential solemnity and beauty, of great effect in centering the minds of the people upon their religious needs and responsibilities and left a lasting impression, not only upon the denomination’s adherents, but, also, upon the whole community, a worthy place in the religious life of which the church has maintained from then until now. It was dedicated to God on June 7, 1828.
The Church held its services at first in the building of the Danville Academy at the corner of Jefferson and Loyal Streets, where Reverend Mr. Tompkins had preached. In 1828 it acquired a lot on Jefferson just south of Main and erected its own building, the first church edifice of any kind in the town. This wooden structure was replaced in 1853 with a substantial brick building (the material from the old building is said to have gone into the construction of J. R. Pace’s tobacco factory at the corner of Lynn and Newton Streets). This building was torn down in 1879 and rater was replaced by a larger and more suitable building which is still standing and is now [in 1951] the First Christian Church.
In 1908 the congregation began to think about a new location, noting the trend of growth of the city westward, and the needs of a growing congregation. These thoughts crystallized into action shortly thereafter. A fine location at the southeast corner of Main Street and Sutherlin Avenue was purchased and building operations soon got under way. A beautiful church home was the outcome. It was dedicated September 8, 1812, with elaborate ceremony. In 1925 that portion of the building devoted to the Church School was enlarged, this being made possible by Mrs. F. X. Burton, one of the Church’s most interested members and benefactors, securing and presenting to the Church the adjoining lot, and by the generous assumption of financial obligations by other members.

Visitors to Buena Park’s soon-to-open retail center, The Source, next year should have the chance to check out a movie in a theater that incorporates interactive special effects, relax at a spa, play a round of virtual-reality golf, and sample fare from across the globe at a variety of restaurants unique to the area.
Buying a new outfit for work or some furniture for your home, though, could be harder to accomplish.
“Mainstream doesn’t do it anymore,” in terms of what works and what doesn’t at shopping centers, said Luis Valenzuela, executive vice president for the project’s developer, M&D Properties.
Lynwood-based M&D is betting big that guests at the nearly 400,000-square-foot retail portion of The Source—the largest retail project built in Orange County since 2008—are looking for new entertainment and food options, not traditional retail.
The center’s due to see its first batch of tenants open their doors in the first few months of next year.
The three-story center is the focus of the mixed-use project, which also includes a seven-story office and retail building that’s open and now getting leased up, as well as a four-star, 174-room Hilton Hotel that’s about a year away from opening.
The entire 12-acre development, at the intersection of Beach Boulevard and Orangethorpe Avenue, runs about 600,000 square feet.
Valenzuela said its price tag is in excess of $300 million.
Much of the funding for the project is being provided through the EB-5 program, a federal initiative administered by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services that allows foreigners to apply for permanent residency in the U.S. in exchange for investing funds in job-creating projects here.
A majority of EB-5 funds currently come from China, according to federal data.
Ties to South Korea also play a big part in The Source, with a number of the center’s retail tenants hailing from the country or targeting Korean-American visitors.
Close to 10,000 people of Korean ethnicity live in Buena Park, and the city is sometimes referred to as Orange County’s Koreatown.
M&D expects the center will draw locals, tourists visiting Knott’s Berry Farm and other local destinations, as well as residents of both OC and Los Angeles looking for new entertainment options.
Officials with the developer describe the retail portion of the center as “a place to experience the best entertainment, dining (and) interactive experiences.”
The final mix of tenant types wasn’t the initial plan when M&D started development and entitlement work more than seven years ago. When construction started in full force in 2012, a late 2014 opening was projected.
A more traditional mix of retailers was initially envisioned; clothing retailer H&M was signed as an anchor tenant but no longer is expected to be there, and a Macy’s was also once expected to be an anchor. Later, there were thoughts of incorporating a mix of outlet mall-type retailers.
Changing trends in retail—in particular the emphasis on unique dining options—helped push the three-story project designed by NBBJ Architects to its current mix whose three levels will each have a unique focus.
The top floor of The Source will include a hive of restaurants, including Chinese-themed OOAK Kitchen, Gangnam House, a Korean barbeque restaurant, and a farm-to-grill restaurant opened by Korea’s YG Republique.
Along with a food hall, the top floor will also be home to CGV Cinemas, a theater operator that offers a movie experience in what it calls “4-D,” a combination of 3-D plus motion and other effects. It’ll be the South Korean chain’s second U.S. location after one in Los Angeles.
The second floor will largely be filled by service-oriented tenants, likely including beauty schools and a health club.
The developer is in talks with a large gym operator for a two-story facility that would anchor much of the western side of the project, Valenzuela said.
The second floor also will be home to a second food hall called Square Mixx. The 16,000-square-foot hall will be similar in respects to hip food halls like Costa Mesa’s OC Mix and the Anaheim Packing House but will largely incorporate Korean vendors.
The ground floor of the center will likely hold more traditional retailers—luxury brands such as Manolo Blahnik, Vera Wang, MCM are said to be among those leasing space—in addition to providing an open-air plaza that’s designed to hold public events.
The center has hosted an auto show, Octoberfest event and a few other gatherings over the past few months prior to stores opening.
Current tenant plans at The Source resemble what’s now at Costa Mesa’s Triangle shopping center, a once-troubled mall that was converted into a thriving entertainment and restaurant center over the past few years by Irvine-based Greenlaw Partners.
That 204,523-square-foot property at the end of the Costa Mesa (55) Freeway now features some of the busier restaurants and nightclubs in OC on its top floors, while lower levels include a bowling alley, gym, and other entertainment options.
The retail portion of The Source—nearly twice the size of Costa Mesa’s Triangle—has a ways to go to fill out its tenant roster. The center is about 40% leased, and the developer has contracts out that could bring occupancy close to 60%, Valenzuela said.
The first batch of restaurants should come on line within the next 90 days or so.
“In the next six months, you’ll see (the center) get really activated, Valenzuela said.
The center shouldn’t be hard to find, with 17 large LED screens illuminating it, making it visible to traffic from the nearby Artestia (91) and Santa Ana (5) Freeways and giving it a Times Square-type appearance.
M&D, the developer behind Lynwood’s Plaza Mexico retail center on the southern edge of Los Angeles County, could eventually move forward on additional phases of development at The Source once leasing of the retail center and 60,000 square feet of office space are completed.
The company’s eyeing nearby property for a residential project that could run close to 1,000 units, among other plans.
The Irvine office of brokerage JLL was recently given the leasing assignment for the office portion of the development, while Madison Marquette is handling leasing for the retail center.

DDR chipset prices slump
Vendor rivalry, poor demand, Intel to blame
Taiwan's chipset makers are slashing prices on their DDR SDRAM chipsets in response to cool demand for DDR systems, intense rivalry between them, and the imminent arrival of Intel's SDRAM-based chipset, the 845 aka Brookdale.
So say the major mobo makers, according to a DigiTimes report. The board builders say DDR chipsets from likes of SIS, VIA and Acer Labs have recently fallen to $19-20 a pop - a fall of around $10 on the original price. The cuts have been implemented through a mix of rebates and actual reductions.
The chipset companies themselves cite the slow demand for DDR system as the main reason for the cuts. DDR chips may now be barely more expensive than PC-133, but that hasn't boosted the DDR market in the way many observers expected, they say.
AMD may be pushing DDR, and not without some success, but the real issue is the lack of support from Intel. The Pentium III doesn't gain much from DDR, and the P4 remains a Rambus-only product. P4 support will be essential for the success of DDR, say the mobo makers.
The arrival of the 845 will add PC-133 support to the P4, but the DDR version is not due for release until early next year. However, Asustek and Gigabyte already have 845 samples and have made them work with DDR, claims DigiTimes. That suggests Intel may be gearing up to ship the DDR version of Brookdale early.
The motherboard makers claim to be unconfident that chipset makers can get DDR-for-P4 boards out by Q4, leaving Intel with an opportunity to grab the lion's share of the market by shipping early. ®

Recording Screencasts in Storyline
I am stuck. I do a lot of screencast work. I import my slides as view slides because some steps will be interactive while some will be demo. The issue I am having is that having the browser window zoomed to 100% would mean that the window would have to be huge to fit in most of the screen with minimum scrolling, so I typically bring it down to 80%. However if I keep the story size the size of that I recorded it can be too big. If I record at the browser window's optimal size and then keep the story size as the default it can be too small. Does anyone have any magic tips to find a happy medium?
Thanks!! Happy Holidays!

© 2019, Istanbul Medipol University. All rights reserved.Development and in vitro evaluation of dexketoprofen trometamol (DT)-loaded nanosized and controlled release drug delivery system was aimed in this study. DT-loaded Eudragit® RL 100 polymeric nanoparticles were prepared using nano spray-dryer. Structures of DT-loaded polymeric nanoparticles were elucidated by particle size and zeta potential measurements, shape and surface imaging, thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction and FT-IR and 1H-NMR determinations. The particle size of the formulations was measured in the range of 475.5-798.7 nm. The droplet size distribution of the formulations was observed in the range of 0.349-0.395. These results showed that nanosized and monodispersed formulations were prepared. The drug content was found to be in the range of 35-38%. DT-loaded particles exhibited nanostructured and spherical shape. In vitro release studies showed extended release of DT. Release was found to fit Korsmeyer-Peppas kinetic model using DDSolver software program. Depending on the in vitro test results obtained, formulations developed in this study seem to extend the release of DT from the nanoparticles prepared which are promising for prolonging analgesic activity.

The monarchy of France was overthrown as a direct consequence of the French Revolution. Additionally, as a result of it, Napoleon Bonaparte rose to power, and French colonisation spread across the world. The revolution resulted in the creation of a new calendar in addition to other minor adjustments.
Many people in Europe had their perspectives on the world, government, and individual rights altered as a result of rationalism’s influence. On the other hand, French rulers paid little heed to the requests made by the populace. After the War of Independence and the establishment of the United States, a large number of individuals in France came to the conclusion that toppling the monarchy would enable them to establish a rationalist government that would better serve the French people than any monarchy ever could.
Other kingdoms throughout Europe were cautious, and many of them made efforts to ensure the happiness of their own people. The decadence shown by the French monarchy caused other regions of Europe to largely desert it, and this led to prospective revolutionaries being viewed more seriously.
The events of the French Revolution had a significant impact on the United Kingdom. The revolution was seen by many academics and even some members of the aristocratic class as the triumph of reason over antiquated customs. On the other hand, many people looked down on the French people and the revolution itself because of the atrocities that occurred during the Reign of Terror. During this time, thousands of individuals were put to death at the guillotine, and this caused many people to look down on the French people.

Online shoppers could find costs going up after the Supreme Court did away Thursday with a decades-old precedent limiting the ability of states to collect sales tax on certain out-of-state Internet purchases.
The U.S. Supreme Court today handed down its anticipated decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair. The decisions made it more hard for states to collect sales tax on certain online purchases. North Dakota, that states could not extend their taxing authority to companies that had no stores, warehouses or "physical presence" within the state. Customers were generally supposed to pay the tax to the state themselves if they were not charged by the merchant, but the vast majority of consumers did not.
Shares of Amazon, Overstock.com, Etsy, Wayfair and other retailers fell after the ruling was announced.
Brick-and-mortar retailers in states are required to collect taxes on a state's behalf.More news: First lady Melania Trump 'hates' to see families separated
Only five states do not have a state-wide sales tax: Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon. It's likely to negate some of the price advantages that come from buying online, as you might guess, but there's also the possibility of creating headaches for smaller e-commerce outfits that might lose a price advantage over heavyweights already paying state sales taxes.
As an example, lawyers for the online retailers told the high court that in IL, a Snickers bar costs more in taxes than a Twix bar, since food items containing flour are not treated as candy for tax purposes. The conservative chief justice, John Roberts dissented along with liberals Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.
South Dakota was backed by President Donald Trump's administration in the case.
Retailers said overturning Quill would allow states to go far beyond the model legislation that South Dakota passed, requiring collection by retailers with a single sale in a state or perhaps trying to force the companies to comply retroactively.
Amazon's stock is down almost a percent since the announcement, Etsy is down 3.12 percent.
