How many women are on your staff? According to a 2008Aquatics International Salary Survey, male and female head lifeguards and supervisors are nearly equal in number. Perhaps one factor that has influenced these statistics is Title IX. This federal legislation was originally passed in 1972 to promote equity in education, and it?s had some far-reaching affects. Specifically, it stipulates that, ?No person ... shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.?
The result? ?[Title IX] has changed the entire way we educate children ? it goes way beyond the gym, [classroom or pool,]? says Dr. Ellen Staurowsky, professor and graduate chairwoman, Department of Sport Management and Media, Ithaca College.
Athletics is one of many types of programs covered under Title IX, and it could be argued that the legislation?s impact on athletics has come to symbolize what it?s all about. Title IX has fundamentally changed the way women athletes are viewed. ?Female athletes are so much a part of our culture [now],? Staurowsky adds. ?They?re no longer those girls who were on the margins who periodically became famous for their sport.?
Today, there are over 1,000 times more female athletes competing at the college level than in 1968 (before Title IX), according to research. Data from the National Federation of High School Student Associations shows fewer than 300,000 female high school varsity athletes prior to Title IX. During the 2006-2007 academic year, there were more than 3 million.
Are more females participating in aquatics? Yes. During the 1973-1974 academic year, there were 4,062 boys? swimming/diving teams and 2,785 girls? teams, according to the National Federation of State High School Associations. That?s compared with 6,358 boys? teams and 6,708 girls? teams offered in 2006-2007. Growth has occurred at the college level as well.
As with most legislation, Title IX is not without its detractors. The issue is compliance. The law requires that men and women have access to equitable opportunities for sports participation, training, and equipment, and scholarship funding proportional to their participation.
It does not require budget or program cuts, and experts agree that how a particular institution chooses to comply is up to that individual school. But some have argued that men?s programs are being cut to add women?s programs, and some large football and basketball programs have lobbied for exemption, claiming they are top revenue earners and finance other sports.
?The intent of the law is that no matter which sex, you [want to provide them with] a positive sport experience,? says Pamela Noakes, executive director, the National Association for Girls and Women in Sport. ?The administration of the law is an entirely independent [decision].?
Still, several universities, including James Madison and Syracuse, have cut swimming and diving and blamed Title IX.
?Title IX has done a lot of good. It also has allowed a lot of athletic directors to cut Olympic programs under the pretense of having to do it to comply with the law,? says John Leonard, executive director of the American Swimming Coaches Association. ?The real issue is their own inability to discipline their spending to reasonable levels on the so-called revenue sports [such as football or basketball], which might better be entitled the net-loss sports [such as swimming]. Only six NCAA athletic programs are net revenue positive, according to Dr. Brand at the NCAA.?
Though in the past 20 years Title IX has paved the way for great strides in gender equity, experts agree there?s still a long way to go in terms of athletics. The ?I EXercise My Rights? public service Title IX educational campaign states that women?s sports still lag behind men?s in many areas.

You can see how rolling over loans can lead to you paying much more than you initially borrowed. If you’re considering a payday loan but are worried about being able to pay it back, look into an installment loan. These tend to have smaller payments spread out over a longer time period. You can also work on improving your credit to become eligible for personal loans or credit cards, which have lower rates and monthly minimum payments.
To get started, you need to complete a quick loan form. Just enter your personal and banking details. Make sure all fields are filled correctly. Our loan request form is super easy and takes only 5 minutes of your time. You can submit the form with the low credit to get an emergency loan, though we can't guarantee you'll get the lender's approval. Our service offers emergency online loans via trusted lendes and we don't make any credit decisions. We'll only attempt to connect you with the most suitable lender ASAP.
The minute you decide to take an Insta Loan, visit Finance Buddha website and simply fill the easy application form online. Once you submit the form, the details provided by you will be scrutinized internally by saving your time and effort and will let you know if you are eligible for an instant loan and the best offer available for you. Your loan application will be processed and disbursed in 24 hours.
Plain Green, LLC, is a wholly owned company of the Chippewa Cree Tribe of Rocky Boy’s Reservations, Montana; A Native American Tribe federally recognized by the government of the United States of America, and we operate within the boundaries of the reservation. By entering into an agreement with Plain Green, you are availing yourself upon the jurisdiction of the Tribe and fully understand and consent that any agreement entered into is subject to the laws and lending codes enacted by the Tribe’s Federally recognized sovereign government.
Finance Buddha understands the urgent need which arises in medical emergencies. Finance Buddha and its team does it best when such a requirement arises. The process here is completely online hence you do not need to visit any of our branches or arrange for the hard copy of the documents.

If you are unable to pay your loan when it is due, Moneytree offers a payment plan for payday loans only. You must request a payment plan before the deposit time on the day your loan is due to restructure the payment terms to at least four (4) substantially equal payments. You may choose this option once per 12-month period. There is no charge to enter into the payment plan.
NHCash.com offers revolving lines of credit products that offer flexible payment options compared to other cash advance loans, bad credit loans and personal loans. We have a zero prepayment penalties for customers who want to pay off their loans quickly. Unlike a payday loan or same day loan lender, NHCash does not require customers to pay us back in 7, 30, 60 or 90 days. We empower our customers to make the choice when they want to payoff their outstanding balance. See how NHCash stacks up against these other products:
Personal MoneyService is not a direct lender and does not make credit decisions. The Company will securely submit the provided information to the third-party lenders and others who can facilitate a search for an offer of credit. APR, fees, terms, and conditions for any offer of credit are determined by the third-party lenders. For loan details, questions, and concerns, contact the lender directly.
A credit bureau, or credit reporting agency, collects data from numerous sources and provides information on individual consumers. Lenders use this information, sometimes in the form of a credit rating, to help them assess the credit worthiness and the likely ability of someone to pay back a loan. Examples of credit bureaus in the US are TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax.
Despite our best efforts at budgeting and saving, unexpected expenses can come along and threaten to wipe out all our hard work. A broken down car, leaky roof, pricey medical bill — no matter the cause, you can quickly find yourself with an urgent expense and no funds for repayment. An emergency loan or cash advance can help you deal with the situation, but it is important choose the right lender.
If approved for a loan, your lender will present you with the exact fees and interest rate of your loan prior to your acceptance of the loan. Cash Advance® has no control or knowledge of the loan details between you and your lender. You are under no obligation to continue with the loan request if you find a particular lender’s loan terms unsuitable.
The Need for It: Finance Buddha’s Insta Loan is offered at an interest rate higher than the conventional personal loans. Hence the reason for availing the personal loan should be justified. If it is an urgent need, and immediate cash is required, then it makes complete sense to avail Insta Loan. But, opting for an Insta Loan for a shopping spree, a costly gadget or vacation abroad, makes no sense.
According to the CFB, more than 80 percent of payday loans are rolled over. When you roll over a loan, you pay the finance charge and have another two weeks to pay back the initial amount. For example, if you take out $200 with a $40 charge, you’d normally pay $240 at the end of a two-week period. If you can’t pay it all back, you pay the $40 and rollover the $200 while also taking on another $40 finance charge. If you pay that loan back, you end up paying a total of $280.
There is always a penalty charge for delay in payments. As same as others Insta loan is also having some penalty charges for delay in payment this depends on the outstanding loan amount with us. This late payment doesn’t leads to penalty only but it leads to a bad credit score as well. This can affect you in future when you will apply for some other loan. To avoid these charges and difficulties you should also pay EMIs regarding any kind of loan on time.

Now, the basis of your costume will be the clothes you wear, which should be either brown or black. You can wear a track suit, which might be the best option, although any brown pullover shirt and pants will do the job nicely. Once you have your clothing you will need to cut the ends of the sleeves and pant legs to make them jagged. Now for this costume you will also need faux fur. This can easily be found in any store where craft items are sold. You will use this fur to line the collar of the shirt, the ends of the sleeves, and the ends of the legs of the pants. You will also take your shirt and pants, turn them inside out, and cut holes in them in random places. To these holes you will glue pieces of the fur that, when the shirt is turned right side out again, will stick out of the shirt making look like there is a hairy monster breaking through.
Now to this you need to add face make-up and teeth. Get a set of plastic fangs and you will have the teeth down. Then you can get some werewolf face paint. You can get either a face painting kit specifically designed for werewolves or you can get the black, brown, and orange paint separately. Paint your face up to look like a werewolf and then you can add some blood dripping from your fangs and smeared around your mouth to make it look like you just fed. On your head you can wear a brown or black knitted hat to which you can attach more fur. If you use some sort of thin cardboard, such as an index card, you can cut ear shapes from the fur and secure the fur to matching pieces cut from the index card. Then you can glue these to the hat and you can add fur around the edge of the hat and other pieces of fur on the hat.
Finally, you will add the finishing touches. Black shoes, to which you can glue pieces of fur, will look great. You can also add black plastic fingernails. With this look in place you will appear entirely authentic. Of course, you can purchase a werewolf headpiece and gloves if you don't have the time or patience to make your costume, but if you can make it you will have a lot of fun doing so. Ultimately, your werewolf costume will not cost you very much money to make. You can get most of what you need from your own closet and from local thrift shops and discount stores. You may need to visit is costume shop for a few things and you will need fabric glue or a glue gun for gluing your costume together.
Your child will look fabulously scary in a home-made werewolf costume and so will you. You can even be a werewolf family if you want and you can get everyone in on the fun of making the costumes. No matter who is dressing up as a werewolf, Halloween night will be a night to remember. Thanks to the Harry Potter films, werewolves have become popular once again and through these stories we have learned to love and hate werewolves, seeing both the kind side and the ghastly side of this dreaded creature. Now you can go out and make yourself the werewolf you want to be and you will have a great time doing it.

Sumitomo Sumiprampt Insecticide is a non-systemic, contact insecticide that is used to control a wide range of insect pests on a variety of crops. It is effective against sucking, chewing, and piercing-sucking insects, including aphids, whiteflies, mealybugs, scales, thrips, leafhoppers, and beetles. Sumitomo Sumiprampt Insecticide is also effective against mosquitoes and other flying insects.
The active ingredient in Sumitomo Sumiprampt Insecticide is cypermethrin, which is a pyrethroid insecticide. Pyrethroids are synthetic compounds that mimic the natural insecticidal properties of pyrethrins, which are found in chrysanthemum flowers. Cypermethrin works by disrupting the nervous system of insects, causing paralysis and death.
Sumitomo Sumiprampt Insecticide is available as a liquid concentrate that is diluted with water before application. It can be applied as a foliar spray or as a soil drench. The frequency of application depends on the pest being controlled and the crop being treated.
The active ingredient in Sumitomo Sumiprampt Insecticide is cypermethrin. Cypermethrin is a pyrethroid insecticide, which is a type of synthetic chemical that is similar to the natural insecticide pyrethrin, which is found in chrysanthemum flowers.
Sumitomo Sumiprampt Insecticide is a safe and effective insecticide that can be used to control a wide range of insect pests. It is important to follow the label directions carefully when using this product to avoid safety hazards.
The dosage of Sumitomo Sumiprampt Insecticide depends on the crop being treated and the pest being controlled. The following are the recommended dosages for some common crops:
Vegetables: 1.5-2 milliliters per liter of water.
Fruits: 2-3 milliliters per liter of water.
Ornamentals: 1-2 milliliters per liter of water.
Turf: 1-2 milliliters per square yard.
Here are some additional details about Sumitomo Sumiprampt Insecticide:
- It is registered for use on a variety of crops, including vegetables, fruits, ornamentals, and turf.
- It is labeled for use against a wide range of insect pests, including aphids, whiteflies, mealybugs, scales, thrips, leafhoppers, beetles, mosquitoes, and other flying insects.
- It is a non-systemic insecticide, which means that it does not move through the plant. This makes it safe to use on edible crops.
- It is a contact insecticide, which means that it must come into direct contact with the insect to be effective.
- It is relatively short-lived, so it does not pose a long-term risk to beneficial insects or the environment.

If you’re lucky enough to be planning a holiday or honeymoon to this jewel of the West Indies, be sure to read this handy packing guide to ensure you've got everything you need for the ultimate Caribbean getaway.
Due to its location in the tropics, Barbados enjoys warm to hot temperatures throughout the year - so you can leave your big coat at home! If you’re travelling to the island during the rainy season, pack a light mac, just in case you find yourself caught in a tropical monsoon. Showers aside, Barbados has around 3,000 hours of sunshine each year, and more beaches than you can shake a Pina Colada at - so best to take multiple changes of swimwear with you to wear on beach days.
Please remember that, although Barbados is a chilled-out island, beachwear really should remain on the beach or in beach bars and resorts. If you’re planning to explore the island during your holiday (and we recommend you do!), pack some shorts and t-shirts. A comfortable pair of sandals are a great alternative to your flip-flops, and will be easier on your feet if you fancy going off on an adventure!
Barbados has a wide variety of fabulous restaurants, serving delicious dishes. Some of these eateries do have a dress code, so best pack some smart trousers or skirts, as well as a light jacket for the evenings. It’s also worth remembering that shorts generally aren’t acceptable attire for dinner. Many restaurants prefer men to wear a shirt, rather than just a t-shirt or vest. The best type for the weather is a cotton, short-sleeved shirt.
Please remember: it’s against the law in Barbados to wear camouflage clothing or carry anything made from camouflage material.Image credit: Highways Agency via Flickr
Well that’s clothing sorted, but what about all the other items you should take with you to Barbados? Well, due to Barbados holidays being laid-back affairs, you should be able to pack lightly - here are some items that we recommend taking with you.
Due to the climate in Barbados, sunscreen and sunglasses are a must. Be sure to pack at least factor 30 sunscreen - sunburn has been known to ruin holidays! Sunglasses aren’t just there to look cool, they’re also to protect your eyes from the sun’s harmful UV rays, so be sure to buy a pair that meet the European Safety Standards.
Whilst we’re on the subject of the sun, be sure to pack a sunhat or baseball cap to avoid sunstroke. It’s also worth taking some insect repellent to renounce those pesky insects that can come out in the evenings.
Most of the resorts in Barbados provide guests with necessities like shampoo, conditioner and shower gel, so there’s no need to pack these items. If you’re planning to bring liquids with you, remember that only 100 ml or less can be taken in your hand luggage, if they’re stored in a clear container. If you’re taking medications with you, you’ll need a note from your doctor.Image Credit Sunset Barbados via Wikimedia Commons
Here are some foolproof packing tips, to ensure you’re able to maximise the space left in your suitcase:

2016 Mazda CX-5 vs 2016 GMC Terrain
Often times it can be difficult to determine a clear victor between two competing SUVs. However, when it comes to comparing the 2016 Mazda CX-5 versus the 2016 GMC Terrain, it's no contest. The 2016 Mazda CX-5 easily wins this head-to-head comparison for several reasons. To begin, the Mazda CX-5 is an era ahead of the GMC Terrain when it comes to fuel efficiency. The 2016 Mazda CX-5 is one of the most efficient SUVs on the road, rated for 33 mpg on the highway and 26 mpg in the city. The GMC Terrain is only rated to receive 24 mpg on the highway and 17 mpg in the city. If the Terrain were worlds ahead of the CX-5 in terms of performance, this might be understandable, but it's not. Despite this huge difference in efficiency, the Terrain doesn't totally dominate the CX-5 in terms of towing capacity. The Terrain can be equipped to get up to 32 mpg on the highway and 22 mpg in the city, but it loses a significant amount of power, and still can't stack up with the CX-5.
Another way in which the 2016 Mazda CX-5 edges out the 2016 GMC Terrain is in terms of cargo volume. The CX-5 beats the Terrain in both regular cargo volume and cargo volume with the second-row seats folded down. The fact that the CX-5 dominates the Terrain in terms of fuel efficiency, but also cargo volume just shows how the CX-5 is a better-designed vehicle. But beyond that, the 2016 CX-5 comes with a much lower starting MSRP than the Terrain.
|2016 Mazda CX-5||vs||2016 GMC Terrain|
|33 mpg highway/26 mpg city||Fuel Efficiency||24 mpg highway/17 mpg city|
|SKYACTIV-G 2.5L 4-cylinder||Engine||3.6L V6|
|64.8 cubic feet/34.1 cubic feet||Cargo Volume (behind first/second row)||63.9 cubic feet/31.6 cubic feet|
|2,000 lbs.||Towing Capacity||3,500 lbs.|
The Winner Should Be Obvious
If all these mechanical stats aren't enough to convince you the 2016 Mazda CX-5 is superior, maybe the Mazda Connect infotainment system will make you a believer. The Mazda Connect infotainment system comes with a rearview camera and a 7-inch color touchscreen. It also features some fantastic radio options, such as Pandora, HD Radio, Stitcher Internet Radio, Aha Internet Radio, and optional Sirius XM Satellite Radio. If you're someone who likes to listen to things while in the car, the Mazda Connect infotainment system is perfect for you. For anyone who was trying to decide between the 2016 Mazda CX-5 and the 2016 GMC Terrain, the choice should now be clear.

Parks Canada is currently reviewing how much of the South Nahanni watershed to protect as part of its National Park Reserve system, and they want your help. The area under consideration, named Nááts´ihch´oh National Park Reserve, would lie adjacent to the north of the current Nahanni National Park Reserve. You might recall in June the federal government dramatically expanded Nahanni National Park Reserve from 5,000 square kilometers to 30,000 square kilometers (about half the size of Maine).
For context, here’s a map of the entire Nahanni watershed, including the newly expanded Nahanni National Park Reserve and the Nááts´ihch´oh National Park Reserve to its north. Size comparisons to Nova Scotia and Maine were included to show how truly large this region is:
The yellow region is the area where Parks Canada is weighing three options for protection boundaries. This is where you come in. Parks Canada is asking for public comment as to which final boundary they should decide on: one option protects 94%; the second protects 84%; and the third protects only 70% of the region, leaving the remaining 30% open to mining and other industry.
This region is of tremendous cultural importance for the Sahtu Dene, who have lived in the region and practiced traditional land uses for thousands of years. In addition, the region supports critical numbers of caribou, grizzly bears, as well numerous bird species such as the Spruce Grouse, Common Nighthawk, Olive-sided Flycatcher, Townsend’s Solitaire, Gray Jay, Tennessee Warbler, American Tree Sparrow, Lincoln’s Sparrow, Rusty Blackbird, and the White-winged Crossbill.
While we would ideally hope for 100% of the region to be protected, we support the first option (which protects the largest percentage at 94%) as the best of the three. In addition to holding meetings with interested parties and stakeholders, Parks Canada is looking to the public to provide comment on which of the three options they prefer. Due to the size and ecological as well as cultural significance of the region, I highly encourage you to submit a comment form to Parks Canada recommending the first option. It’s a PDF, so you can either print it out and mail it in or print it out and scan a copy to email to them (where to send it listed on the form).
You will notice that on the second page they ask you to draw a map of where you think the boundaries should be. Since I would like to see the entire watershed protected, I just drew a line around the outside of the entire watershed.
Here are the three proposed boundaries, which include key wildlife ranges and densities (courtesy of Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society):

High Temperature Metal Alloys
High Nickel Alloys
High Temp Alloy Suppliers
High Temperature Alloys
Hot Upset Forging
High nickel alloys tend to be comprised almost entirely of nickel, such as the wrought grades Nickel 200 and 201, each of which is over 99 percent pure. Alloys such as these tend to be resistant to high-temperature halogens and hydrogen halides, as well as non-oxidizing salts. It is for this reason that many high nickel alloys are used in food contact applications.
Nickel in all alloys generally provides improved corrosion and high-temperature resistance. Thus a wide range of nickel alloys are used throughout aerospace, medicine and other fields because of the alloys’ remarkable strength and proportional limits. Here at All Metals & Forge, nickel is just one of the many elements these ISO9001:2000- and AS9100-certified technicians have mastered in their quest to become America’s foremost provider of nickel alloys, superalloys and specialty steels of every stripe.
If you have ever heard from your local mill that an enormous purchase is required to justify a custom chemistry, you are not alone. Major manufacturers often work exclusively with All Metals & Forge, as do an enormous number of machine shops who simply need to get their small-batch custom jobs fulfilled quickly. Here at All Metals & Forge, superior service is what has earned the team its rare reputation as both a top manufacturer and forge shop.
Please look around the site if you want to learn more about the various components of alloys and what they do to each steel’s properties. If you want to get some more specific information, you can always contact the courteous and experienced experts here. Call (973) 276-5000 or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.org, and you’ll receive a timely response.
Let’s face it: Not all high-temp alloy suppliers are created equal. Some only traffic in standard chemistries, while others forgo whole products such as superalloys and refractory alloys that are known for their extremely high melting points and powerful corrosion resistance. If you want a more complete catalog of the very best metals on the market today, you have come to the right place.
Refractory alloys in particular tend to draw a lot of interest, and with good reason. Specialty steels such as these take other manufacturers considerable prep time and machine conversion. Here, you can get popular alloys such as Densalloy and Zircalloy 4 without a lot of fuss, all treated and forged to close tolerances and delivered on time.
All Metals & Forge boasts certifications in ISO9001:2000 and AS9100–considerable expertise, commensurate with the level of customers served here. The client list ranges from NASA to General Electric, and today many steel shops look here first for their custom orders. Whether you need a standard trademarked alloy or something more eclectic, the experts take pride in melting and forging each piece to match your best vision of that product.
This site also offers a wealth of metallurgic information, so please feel free to avail yourself of these deep and detailed resources. Steel is the number one priority here, and today a growing number of manufacturers come to All Metals & Forge for high temp alloys. Do not hesitate to call (973) 276-5000 or write to email@example.com, and the entire team will do its best to answer your questions fully.
There are a number of companies on the market that specialize in high temperature alloy production. They carry a wide range of materials and have experience dealing with businesses in industries ranging from aerospace to general metalworking. While many high temperature alloy companies carry a substantial inventory, the majority cannot help you with hard-to-find high temperature alloys, and only a very few can customize orders for you.
All Metals & Forge is a leader in the high temperature alloy industry. They have an extensive collection of pre-made alloys in a variety of shapes including rod, pole, and sheet. You can also search for materials by specification, whether they are government- or company-set. You will find products that are designed for specific industries such as oil and energy or weapons and defense, and you will also find a rage of products that have several different applications.
What truly separates All Metals & Forge from the majority of high temperature alloy distributors is that they can turn starting stock into whatever custom shape you require. Their products are of the highest quality, as evidenced by their ISO9001:2000 and AS9100 certification. Along with an unmatched product and service line, All Metal & Forge also serves as one of the premiere sources for industry and metallurgical information, as well.
Some of the largest companies from around the world have benefited from the services and high temperature alloy products that All Metals & Forge provides. To learn more about specific products or customizing options, contact (973) 276-5000 or email firstname.lastname@example.org. If you simply want to learn more about the specs and functions of specific alloys, you can explore their online materials.
Hot forging is generally performed with high-temperature alloy tools, and the practice prevents strain hardening in materials. When hot forging is used in the plastic deformation of metal, it is done at a high enough temperature and strain rate that cause the material to re-crystallize as the deformation occurs.
The major benefit of hot forging is that it allows metals, metal alloys, and a range of other materials to be shaped into almost any design. The use of hot forging is what distinguishes certain distributors from the norm. When hot forging is used, a company will have the ability to create custom designs for their clients, and they will offer a level of versatility that simply is not available from most manufacturers in today’s market.
All Metals & Forge offers hot forging and a variety of other services that have made them virtually unparalleled in the business. They feature a comprehensive collection of alloy steels, aluminum alloys, tool steels, carbon steels, nickel products, titanium materials, and much more. All of their products can be found in a wide range of shapes including cylinder sleeves, flat bars, disc hubs, and rings. However, if you do not find pre-made materials that fit your needs, they can create a piece that does. You can trust their products to be top-quality, as a result of their ISO9001:2000 and AS9100 certification.
You can call (973) 276-5000 or email email@example.com to learn more about the practice of hot forging and the options it provides you with. You can also find some of the most in-depth metallurgical resources in the industry available from All Metals & Forge. They provide information on everything from specific practices and alloys to recent industry news.
Hot upset forging is generally used to enlarge or shape a cross-sectional portion of a bar or tube. During the process, pressure is applied to the end of heated forging stock in a manner that spreads, or upsets, the end through the displacement of metal. Increasing the cross-sectional area of a portion of stock through hot upset forging can allow for custom shaping in accordance with particular specifications.
All Metals & Forge provides hot upset forging, hot forging, and a variety of other services in order to meet all of their clients’ specific needs. Unlike most high temperature alloy and metals companies on the market, All Metals & Forge offers options beyond their inventory. While their catalog is stocked with both popular and hard-to-find alloys, they can create a custom design for you if you do not find exactly what you are looking for.
The twin aspects of All Metals & Forge–their forging company and steel service center–have allowed them to work with international leaders in the aerospace, petrochemical, aircraft engine, and defense industries. They have also been able to supply metal and machine shops of all sizes with the materials they need. They have ISO9001:2000 and AS9100 certification, and have also been certified by ASTM, ASME, DIN, JUS, and all of the major boards in the industry.
In order to learn more about the benefits of hot upset forging, call (973) 276-5000 or email firstname.lastname@example.org. If you are simply interested in learning more about the industry or metallurgy in general, you will find that All Metals & Forge can serve as wellspring of information.

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - Two bills will go before a committee to determine how municipal governments handle drivers who speed. Some Louisiana lawmakers are hoping to put the brakes on speed traps in the state.
One bill authored by Representative Regina Barrow of Baton Rouge would prohibit speed traps state wide. The measure also defines a speed trap and the use of stationary and police officer operated radars.
Another measure targets the local governments which generate more than 50 percent of its revenue from speeding citations.
That bill would require those towns to put up flashing signs warning of speed trap areas.
We will keep you updated on further details of this story.

Riyad Mahrez targeted by Marseille as French side eye £26m move in January transfer window
- French outfit are reported to be looking to purchase Leicester winger Mahrez
- The 26-year-old has been involved in six of the 17 Leicester goals this season
- New boss Claude Puel plans to hold talks with Mahrez in a bid to 'seduce; him
Marseille are reportedly ready to launch a January swoop for Riyad Mahrez.
The 2016 PFA Players' Player of the Year was close to joining Roma in the summer after handing in a transfer request.
But Mahrez saw his move to the Serie A side fall through after they failed to meet the Foxes' £32million valuation.
French side Marseille are eyeing up a deal for unsettled Riyad Mahrez in January
Now Mundo Deportivo report Marseille are eyeing up a deal for Mahrez — and believe they could secure him for a cut-price £26.5m.
The move comes despite newly-appointed Leicester manager Claude Puel revealing his desire to keep Mahrez by giving him more freedom.
Marseille are currently fourth in Ligue 1 and trail league leaders Paris Saint Germain by eight points. Mahrez was linked with a move to Marseille back in 2014 but the switch never materialised.

Chipper Cash has become the latest financial institution to adopt Onfido’s identity verification technology. The company currently operates one of the largest money transfer platforms in Africa, and is hoping that the partnership with Onfido will make it easier to expand into new territories.
In that regard, Chipper Cash noted that Onfido can already recognize identity documents from 195 countries. Onfido’s onboarding service uses document recognition to confirm that an ID is authentic, and facial recognition to match that document to a selfie of the owner. In doing so, it ensures that the true document holder is present for the interaction.
Chipper Cash also believes that Onfido will enable a better user experience, which will in turn boost customer conversion rates. With Onfido’s tech, onboarding can be completed in only two minutes, in a manner that is still compliant with international Know Your Customer regulations.
As it stands, Chipper Cash has more than 4 million active users, and is trying to raise financial inclusion in Africa with free local transfers and low rates for international ones. The company already offers services in Ghana, Uganda, Nigeria, Tanzania, Rwanda, South Africa, and Kenya, in addition to the US and the UK. The company’s portfolio goes well beyond basic money transfers, allowing people to purchase prepaid visa cards and data bundles for other Chipper members. Account holders can also use the platform to make crypto and stock investments.
“Partnering with Onfido has helped us deliver a premium onboarding experience for new customers,” said Chipper Cash Global Marketing VP Hasan Luongo. “The sheer scale of Onfido’s identity verification has accelerated our strategic growth targets, supporting over 40,000 identity checks daily.”
“A simple user experience is expected when sending and receiving money in today’s digital world,” added Onfido CPO Alex Valle. “We’re delighted to partner with Chipper Cash to provide these services and complement its people-first approach to remittance.”
Onfido has proven to be extremely popular with remittance platforms. The company recently provided onboarding services for Moneytrans customers in Belgium and the Netherlands, and has previously done the same for those using WorldRemit and MyCash Money.

Use code SKULL100 at checkout and get $100 off your hand-carved skull. Only while supplies last.
MEASUREMENTS:Height (without horns): 17″ / 43 cmHeight (including horns): 22.5″ / 57 cmWidth (without horns): 7″ / 18 cmDepth: 5" / 12 cmSize may vary due to curvature of the skull and horns.
Each skull comes with real, beautiful horns which are shipped detached, so they don't damage the skull. Furthermore, it comes with barbwire on the back so it can easily be wall mounted.
The notion of taking a buffalo skull and carving a beautiful design into it rooted in a one-of-a-kind Balinese tradition. This piece is intricately etched in flower and majestic appearing patterns that contrast the dark horns in a good way, not just in color, but for its deeper meaning.
Every design is unique. Balinese Artisan Carvers handcraft each piece for 2-3 days to make sure they create exceptional filigree that captures different feels for every skull carving.
For guests to see a 360 degree view, place this carved animal skull on a stand or platform to expose its many angles that are all masterfully etched. You may also mount it on a wall with the barb wire attached at the back.

I saw a posting on a bridge site with an idea by you where:
One club = strong or 4 spades 10 to 17.
One diamond = 4 hearts 10 -17.
Is any further information available on this idea?
No, I did not run with this, since there was not enough distinction between the hand types for the 1C opening, and not enough ability to handle balanced hands without a four card major.

Very Important Papers:
Active Efflux Influences the Potency of Quorum-Sensing Inhibitors in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Joseph D. Moore, Joseph P. Gerdt, Nora R. Eibergen, and Helen E. Blackwell*
Small molecules capable of inhibiting bacterial cell--cell signaling, or quorum sensing (QS), are of significant interest as new chemical tools and potential anti-infective agents. Gram-negative bacteria predominately use N-acyl L-homoserine lactone (AHL) signals for QS. Now, Helen E. Blackwell (University of Wisconsin) and co-workers have shown that a variety of AHL-derived QS inhibitors in the pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa are substrates of its MexAB-OprM drug-efflux pump. In contrast, an aminobenzimidazole-type QS inhibitor does not display this efflux-induced reduction in potency. These results suggest that active efflux will need to be considered in the design of new QS modulators in P. aeruginosa and other bacteria.
Catalytic Scope of the Thiamine-Dependent Multifunctional Enzyme Cyclohexane-1,2-dione Hydrolase
Sabrina Loschonsky, Simon Waltzer, Sonja Fraas, Tobias Wacker, Susana L. A. Andrade, Peter M. H. Kroneck, and Michael Müller*
Cyclohexane-1,2-dione hydrolase (CDH) is a thiamine diphosphate-dependent enzyme that can accept a number of aromatic aldehydes that were previously hard to convert. Now, Michael Müller (Universität Freiburg) and co-workers have expressed CDH in E. coli and the recombinant CDH showed the same C–C bond-cleavage and C–C bond-formation activities as the wild-type enzyme. Furthermore, CDH catalyzes the asymmetric cross-benzoin reaction of aromatic aldehydes and pyruvate, up to quantitative conversion and 92–99% ee. On a semipreparative scale, the sterically demanding substrates 4-(tert-butyl)benzaldehyde and 2-naphthaldehyde, respectively, were transformed into the corresponding 2-hydroxyketone products in high yields. Additionally, certain benzaldehydes with electron-withdrawing substituents were identified as potential inhibitors of the C–C bond-formation activity of CDH. In a related paper, published simultaneously in ChemCatChem, M. Müller and co-workers also characterized the ability of CDH to catalyze the enantio-selective formation of (S)-acetoin by homocoupling of pyruvate, homocoupling of acetaldehyde, and cross-coupling of pyruvate and acetaldehyde.

The International Association for the Scientific Study of Intellectual and Developmental Disability has published online a review of the state of the evidence on families of children with intellectual disability (learning disability in the UK) or autism. This is not a systematic review of all research evidence but more of a consensus process drawing on researchers internationally who work in the field.
There has been considerable interest in how families might be affected by having a child with significant disability in the family for some three decades or more. Family needs are important to understand so that the whole family is supported, and also that there is a positive family environment within which children with disabilities can develop.
The statement clearly identifies that although families may be under increased stress compared to other families, there are also significant positive experiences associated with raising a child with disability. These positive experiences can get over-looked.
Researchers are also clear in the statement about what we know very little about: the variety of family structures, families outside of Western societies, and what supports might work best to enable families to flourish and to continue to stay connected to their child with disability.
The document can be downloaded free as a pdf from the following website:

Islands of Fortune: Lancarote is a swashbuckling historical novel that takes the reader back more than 600 years to the conquest of the Canary Islands.
The longer you spend on Lanzarote, the more you come to feel the ancient history of the island. For Ed Kemplar, who has lived on the island for almost 30 years, this feeling came to a head in 2019, when he decided to write a novel about the invasion of the Canaries in 1402.
“I tried to imagine what it was like back then. There were only 300 people on the island, and they were continuously raided by slaves and pirates. One day I climbed Mount Tinasoria, one of the places where ancient lookouts would have been kept, and the story started coming to me.”
The novel begins with the King Of Spain arranging the conquest of the Canaries with French merchant Jean de Bethencourt. Both have an interest in the venture: for the King it is establishing new dominions; for the sailor it is an opportunity to corner lucrative markets in dye.
In the next chapter we shift to Lanzarote – then known by the Maho natives as Titerrogekat. Here on the island lives Norstar, a trader from England who has stayed on the island to live with the Mahos. His life, and those of his friends and loved ones, will entwine inseparably with those of the invading conquistadores over the following chapters.
Ed spent days in local libraries researching the novel, and shows me one of the main sources, Le Canarien. It’s a famous first-hand account of the conquest of the islands by two monks who travelled on that first voyage, and the only surviving account of how the natives lived at the time. Ed says “It’s like Chinese whispers. The Mahos didn’t have a voice, and we can only read about them through the words of their conquerors.”
Ed also travelled to Las Palmas in Gran Canaria to visit the Canarian Museum there, and headed up site of the Maho settlement at Zonzamas, where he spoke to archaeologists who are unearthing the island’s distant past. “The more I discovered, the more I realized this was an absolutely fantastic story,” he says.
Ed admits openly that his is a fictionalised version of events, blending invented characters with real-life figures. “You have to fatten out characters, and writing fiction allowed me to explore issues such as my own feelings at being a foreigner who has spent many years on Lanzarote, among its people.”
If the reception to the book is positive, Ed has two more volumes planned. “Once I started writing, it just started flowing,” he says.
At the time of writing you can find Islands of Fortune: Lancarote at the Bookswop in Playa Blanca, Finca La Florida in La Geria, the Bike Stop Café in La Santa and the Lounge Cocktail Bar in Playa Blanca.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX has efficiently landed a Falcon 9 rocket for the sixth consecutive time. This is cause for celebration among the administration and staff of SpaceX.
One more Falcon 9 rocket has found its way back home and landed on a drone ship at sea. This is the sixth time such a successful landing has taken place.
How To: Buy a Pokemon Go Plus
This rocket launched a Japanese communication’s satellite into space. The landing was a big event. It was not exactly child’s play and was the result of a great deal of responsibility on the part of the administration and staff of SpaceX.
The satellite which took a piggyback ride atop the rocket was called JSAT-16. It went into geostationary transit orbit (GTO). This happens to be an elliptical orbit that will take the satellite 20,000 miles beyond the earth’s ambit.
To achieve this thing called GTO takes a lot of acceleration and extra rocket fuel. Take-off is the crux of the matter rather than reaching towards the lower earth orbit.
Furthermore, the landing part is very complex. The high velocity and extreme heating on re-arrival into the earth’s orbit make for a delicate situation that has to be handled with care.
There are even more issues that lie in the way of a successful landing. The fuel is often insufficient for re-igniting the engines for the necessary landing tactics.
However, in spite of these difficulties, SpaceX has landed three Falcon 9 rockets on earth in an able and stable way. They include in their number the Falcon 9 rocket which just landed recently.
Out of the 11 rocket launches made by SpaceX over the past two odd years, six have made it to the landing pads successfully. Yet, and here lies the rub, SpaceX has yet to reuse any of its rockets. This is very crucial for saving up on cash and materials. It could really prove to be an economical step.
CEO Elon Musk has big plans for SpaceX. He says that his company will soon use a rocket which has landed for sending a satellite into space.
Everyone is awaiting this step with eagerness. It will be nothing short of revolutionary and epic in its proportions. Space history will have been made, once reusable rockets begin their heyday.
According to The Verge, the plans are for September or October of this year to be the ideal time for this experiment in boldness and bravado. The Falcon 9 rocket which landed in April will most likely be the preferred candidate technology for this new venture in space exploration.

Senate Republicans are hoping to vote on a bill Thursday aimed at putting the brakes on the Obama administration’s plans for a nuclear pact with the Iranians.
The legislation, called the Iran Nuclear Negotiations Act and initially introduced in July, would require Congress to approve any final nuclear deal with Iran, Politico
reported, noting that the current interim agreement expires later this month.
Republicans are afraid that any deal with Iran will eventually result in the Middle East country building a nuclear weapon, and they support Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s demands
that prevent Iranians from having a uranium enrichment program.
The GOP thinks that President Barack Obama’s nuclear policy is "dangerously weak" toward Tehran’s anti-American Islamic regime, according to Politico.
"I want to start [the Iran] discussion Thursday, and hopefully we’ll bring the bill up," said Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, adding that in any event he hopes incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will push for new Iran sanctions in January.
Democrats, who will control the Senate until January, are expected to throw out the legislation. They believe that renewed pressure on Iran to cut back on its nuclear program will lead to Iranians walking away from the negotiating table and eventually to war, Politico says.
Although a group of Democrats backed GOP measures for stiff new sanctions against Iran earlier this year, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has managed to keep them under control. But the GOP plans to go on the offensive against a nuclear deal after the lame-duck session.
"The Hill has a lot of power to make things miserable for the president," said Mark Dubowitz, executive director of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, which advises the GOP on Iran legislation.
A year ago in Geneva, the U.S. and five other world powers — Russia, China, France, Great Britain, and Germany — struck a deal with Iran, expiring Nov. 24, that put a hold on its nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of certain financial sanctions.
Last weekend, Secretary of State John Kerry met with Iranian officials in Oman in an effort to hammer out a new long-term agreement that would allow Iran to continue with its nuclear energy program without having the ability to build an atomic bomb.
However, the discussions apparently did not go well, and a planned press conference at the end of the talks was canceled, according to Politico.
"As best I can tell, [there was] no progress," said Gary Samore, a former Obama White House aide who handled the Iranian nuclear dealings and is now president of United Against a Nuclear Iran. Samore believes that the interim deal, which has already been extended once in July, will be extended again into 2015.
Sources tell Politico that another extension would likely lead to the GOP introducing a Senate bill similar to one sponsored last year by Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Robert Menendez and Sen. Mark Kirk, and backed by 15 Democrats, that called for new sanctions against Iran if it violates the interim deal or abandons negotiations altogether.
However, a senior administration official warns that Republicans could be leading the U.S. down a dangerous path by blocking a long-term deal with the Iranians.
"You’re going to vote no — what’s that a vote for?" said the official. "So you think we should go to war?"

First direct flight from the UK to Taiwan for five years set to take off after China Airlines launches service in bid to boost tourism
- The flagship carrier for the Republic of China is hoping to boost tourism
- Also hopes to forge closer business links between UK and the small island nation
- Flights will start on December 1 between Gatwick and Taoyuan International
China Airlines is returning to the UK after a five-year hiatus as it launches the only direct flight from Britain to Taiwan.
The flagship carrier for the Republic of China is hoping to boost tourism, while hoping to exploit efforts by ministers to forge closer business links between the UK and the small island nation.
Flights will start on December 1 between London Gatwick and Taipei’s Taoyuan International airport.

The service will operate four times a week from Gatwick’s South Terminal, with a flight time of just over 13 hours aboard China Airlines’ Airbus A350-900.
The aircraft will carry 306 passengers.
The UK has been trying to boost business links with Taiwan, with trade minister Greg Hands visiting the island last September - shortly after the Brexit vote.
It is the UK’s sixth largest trading partner in Asia Pacific. UK-Taiwan trade reached £5.8billion in 2014, the second highest ever on record.
Taiwan is a democracy and is not part of the People's Republic of China.
It has a thriving economy, and has a huge technology and computer industry.
China Airlines previously operated a route between London Heathrow and Taipei from 2010 to 2012.
China Airlines previously operated a route between London Heathrow and Taipei from 2010 to 2012
But it scrapped the service as it was hit by the economic downturn across Europe and the high costs of running less fuel efficient Airbus A350 planes.
Since then it has operated a service to Amsterdam with an onward connection to London via a codeshare arrangement with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.
Roger Han, senior vice president Europe at China Airlines said: ‘We’re incredibly excited to be returning to the UK this year, making travel between the UK and Taiwan that much more simple and accessible.
‘By offering the only non-stop service between these two countries, we hope to welcome travellers who may not have considered Taiwan as their first outbound destination previously.
Furthermore, our route network offers a wonderful array of destinations throughout Asia or onward to Australia for British travellers to enjoy.’

Pepper-Crusted Fillet of Beef with Roasted Balsamic Onions and Thyme
This is one of the easiest ways I know to serve four people something special very quickly and very easily.
If you have a first course and a pud, there is enough for six. It goes really well with Potatoes Boulangère with Rosemary.
The Delia Online Cookery School: Watch how to chop onions in our video, press the recipe image to play
This recipe is from Delia's Complete How to Cook. Serves 4-6
If you can, start this off a couple of hours in advance (or longer, if that suits).
All you do is first smear the beef with a little olive oil, then crush the peppercorns coarsely with a pestle and mortar. Tip them into a fine sieve, which will sift out the really hot inner bits and leave you with the fragrant outer bits, and press these all over the surface of the beef. When you’re ready to cook the beef, pre-heat the oven to gas mark 8, 450°F (230°C).
Then, to prepare the onions, you first need to mix the sugar and balsamic vinegar together in a large bowl, give the mixture a good whisk, and then leave it to one side for about 10 minutes to allow the sugar to dissolve. Meanwhile, peel the onions, then, leaving the root intact, cut each one into eight sections through the root, so, in half first, then each half into four. Then add the onions and the tablespoon of oil to the sugar-and-vinegar mixture and toss them around so they get a good coating. After that, spread the onions out on the baking tray, leaving space for the beef in the centre. Then pour the rest of the dressing over them, sprinkle over the thyme leaves and season well with salt. Now place the beef in the centre of the baking tray, then into the oven on the highest shelf, and cook for 15 minutes; after that, turn the onions over and return the tray to the oven, giving it another 15 minutes, if you like your beef rare.
For medium, remove the onions after the 30 minutes, keep them warm, and give the beef another 10 minutes with the oven switched off. If you like it well-done, leave it for another 15-20 minutes. Either way, keep everything warm while you make the sauce. To do this, put a quarter of the onions into a small saucepan over a medium heat, then stir in the flour to just coat the onions and gradually whisk in the red wine, Worcestershire sauce and balsamic vinegar. Let it just come up to simmering point, then turn the heat down and simmer gently until the sauce has reduced by about a quarter. To serve, carve the beef, pouring any escaped meat juices into the sauce, and serve garnished with the onions, the sauce poured over.


The prize-winning comedian with the CV of a veteran on bringing her second stand-up show to the Fringe
Bea's lust for getting a laugh has served her quite well so far
By Alice Jones in The Independent August 12th, 2015
“Some people get into comedy because they love comedy,” announces Aisling Bea. “Then there are people who have a message and have realised that if they can be funny, maybe people will listen to it. And then there are people like me, who are just addicted to making people laugh. My friend calls it a ‘tart for a laugh’. You’ll do anything – you’d jump off a bridge if you thought you’d get a laugh.”
Bea’s lust for getting a laugh has served her quite well so far. At 31 and barely three years into a stand-up career, she already has the CV of a veteran. She won the So You Think You’re Funny? competition in 2012 (previous winners include Peter Kay and Dylan Moran), only the second female to win in its 25-year history. Then, in 2013, she took her debut show to the Fringe and was nominated as Best Newcomer in the Foster’s Edinburgh Comedy Awards. A year later she won the British Comedy Award for Best Female TV comedian, and earlier this year she presented Channel 4’s alternative election coverage alongside David Mitchell and Jeremy Paxman. “He’s non-stop,” she says of the broadcaster, adopting a posh Englishman’s voice. “‘Hello. How are you? What are you doing? Are you going to have a cup of tea? Well? Are you? Are you?'”
One imagines they got on quite well. Bea is pretty non-stop, too – an Irish motormouth in a neon hoodie with cat-like eyes and an alarming range of rubbery facial expressions. “Right now I’ve got a cold,” she says sipping on a glass of green mulch. “But if I didn’t, you might not be able to get a word in edgeways.” Still, it takes a concerted effort for her to stop talking long enough to have her photograph taken. “Can I have that duck in the picture?” she asks, pointing at an ornament in the Brown Bear café in Islington where we meet. “Oh please can I? Pleeease?”
She is back at the Edinburgh Fringe this month with her second stand-up show, Plan Bea. The two-year gap isn’t down to difficult second album syndrome: “It can’t go better than it did,” she says referring to her debut. “The only way is down. I’ve completely taken the pressure off myself”. Rather, it’s because she’s been too busy with her “two other careers”. Bea is also an actress. She put this show together in her evenings off from filming the new series of Trollied and, earlier this year, ITV’s The Delivery Man. After Edinburgh she will start on Graham Linehan’s futuristic new sitcom, The Cloud. She is also a writer and has just had a script commissioned by Channel 4 with Sharon Horgan.
Like her debut, Plan Bea is a high-energy, approachable hour of storytelling and jokes, still heavily coloured by her Irish upbringing but also inspired by her recent experiences of Los Angeles. She was there for pilot season, and will probably return this autumn. “I didn’t mind it but I can imagine it being a very lonely thing,” she says.
It wasn’t lonely for her, as – typically – she threw herself into the local comedy scene. It was quite the learning experience. “Everyone gets five minutes, and because I talk so much, I panic at that. An hour show panics me a lot less than five minutes at the O2. How do you put yourself across and make sure people have a good time in five minutes?” American stand-up is also, she says, much less spontaneous. “In the UK and Ireland, crowd-work is a big thing. It shows you how funny someone would be if you met them off-stage. Americans don’t care if you’re funny off-stage. They want to see the writing; they want to see the work you did.”
Bea is that old-fashioned showbiz thing – a triple threat, who acts, writes and jokes. “In America they call it the ‘multi-hyphenates,'” she says, in an LA drawl. “If you’re going to do this for a living you have to be able to tap-dance and sing, too. The more you can do, the better. Americans like workers, people who slog. I love working. It combines my two favourite things: loving working and loving complaining about working.”

Bikes: The same GT Outpost Mountain bike I've been riding since 1996, although I modify it throughout the year for commuting, touring, and recreational riding.
Mentioned: 5 Post(s)

Quoted: 281 Post(s)
Thanks for your hard work, cdale. To bring you up to speed, last year, I did the whole Mumford Cove/Groton long Point detour and loved it. However, now that I've been given the impression the folks who live in those places didn't love me, I decided to try something different.
I don't mind the woods, as long as they don't get crazy sandy. I am riding a mountain bike with Specialized Nimbus slicks, but I can always pop my knobbies on. I believe, having done this ride about a dozen times, I've knobbed it before. My bike will only have a rack trunk with small, fold-out panniers, so I'll be FAR from "loaded."
I am really into scenery, particularly water views, when I take these little excursions. Last year's route was a primo "water ride." so I don't expect to match it this year. However, a quiet wooded area could be a cool thing to clear my head of work noises (I set up summer park concerts just about every night from July to mid-August). However, if I'm going to be pushing my bike through sand pits and rattling my bones with big tree roots, I may reconsider. When you said "the path used to go to dirt," did you mean the G&S Trolley Trail? I rode it last year to the bridge, then cut through the woods onto a road I believe was called Neptune. Eventually, I went through Mumford Cove, Groton Point, etc. and on toward Mystic. I only remember the G&S going to dirt for a short distance. The rest was in fairly decent shape.
Another point I should make is that my ride usually continues beyond Mystic. When I had an extra day or two, I used to head up to Narragansett, RI and spend a night there. Then I started to just head up there for lunch and turn around. I always hated leaving there once at the water, so I cut that out altogether and started hitting other destinations north and east of Mystic. Last year, I touched my wheels down in Westerly (just to say I had made it to Rhode Island) and headed back to Mystic for the night. My point is that, if the route through Bluff Point/Haley Farm is going to be a dud, I can always add some scenery to the part of my ride after Mystic, then just head back to Mystic for the night.
So, now that I've said all that, do you think I'm making a mistake?
(PS: Your alternate route from New London looks cool, but there's something I really like about Buddington Road.)

The first episode I watched was of Michelle Obama and from there it got more interesting. The longer the First Lady served, the less I knew about these women. The only downfall was having to fast forward through the commercials. I’ve now watched all of them and they are informative in how the First Ladies assisted their husbands as President of the United States and paved their own ways in the White House and West Wing. Some were more traditional as in their roles as recent examples of Laura Bush and Melania Trump (both not covered yet in this series but should be). Others were trailblazers such as Eleanor Roosevelt and Hillary Rodham Clinton. And there were others who were powerful, but operated more behind the scenes like Lady Bird Johnson and Nancy Reagan. Each one of these First Ladies contributed in their own right. There are six episodes so far. I can’t wait for more in 2021.
I rate First Ladies Four Fingers and One Thumb at 100%.

Video about Fingy Connors:https://www.buffalorising.com/2013/09/fingy-conners-historys-forgotten-villain/
Canal Point, the lake town just south of today’s Martin County line, was once an epicenter of life changing activity, a road trip there is no turning back from…
As we learned previously, in 1917, the construction of the West Palm Beach Canal created Canal Point, the town of lumber-man and developer, Mr. Gilbert A Watkins. During this era, planting sugarcane in the rich muck soils surrounding Lake Okeechobee was becoming even more of a rage and the federal and state government helped it take shape.
In 1913, Florida’s Internal Improvement Fund appointed an engineering commission to study the feasibility of draining the Everglades. At this same time, roads were assessed. In 1919 those belonging to Southern Land and Timber Company, Hamilton Disston’s heirs’ lands around Lake Okeechobee–some that became Watkins’—were determined to be “inadequate.” The only east/west road was Jupiter -Indiantown, and that was not enough.
Nationally, it was all the rage to be part of South Florida’s new-found” investment. “Buffalo’s New Yorker, Fingy Connors, was perfect for the job. He’d lost his thumb when he was young, but this didn’t keep him from grasping or getting what he wanted. After a visit to the area celebrating the building of the West Palm Beach Canal, he bought lands in the area of Canal Point and built his road.
Connors’ Highway Toll-Road became an “engineering and development marvel” and all knew it was Fingy’s skill as a big time political boss that got it done. Like the video and biography in this post implies, some saw him as a villain, and others as a hero…
What is for sure, is that although a large section of the road was built from Canal Point north to Okeechobee, it later was extended under the lake and across the state becoming Highway-80, paving the way for the future of the sugar industry and what would evolve into the riches of the Everglades Agricultural Area.
William Fingy Conners
Tycoon, Saloon Boss, Businessman, Politician, Philanthropist:
William J. Conners, aka Fingy (1857-1929) was born in the slums of the Old First Ward. Fingy obtained his nick-name because he lost his thumb when he was young. When he was 19, his parents passed and he acquired a small saloon/rooming house on Louisiana St. He then bought a 2nd saloon on Ohio St. With Conners’s flashy, tough personality, he managed to form contracts to supply labor all across the Great Lakes utilizing 1,000s. His men would eat, sleep, drink, and spend their earnings at his saloons. He had sovereignty over the work force for over a decade. Next in life, he became a leading real-estate developer, operated his own paving company and brewing company, poultry farm, and started the early stages of the Courier Express. Conners definitely tested the waters by reducing wages of grain scoopers which caused a strike. This strike caught nation-wide attention, as 8,000,000 bushels of wheat were backed up. After dipping into politics, he came to control 85% of the packaged freight business on the Great Lakes (Great Lakes Transit Corporation). Conners donated a small fortune to Buffalo’s poor. Later in life, Fingy resided in Florida for half of the year. Floridians considered Fingy to be of hero stature.

Family run clinic in Canonbury celebrates 70 years
Patients joined in to celebrate a private clinic in the Marquess Estate
15 September, 2017 — By Emily Finch
The Mayor of Islington joins workers from the Great Health Clinic on Tuesday
A HEALTH clinic in Canonbury celebrated its 70th year of helping patients with back pains and body sprains.
Taking over the management of the Great Health Clinic, on the Marquess estate, was an easy decision for Natalie Simpkin after her mother, who owned the clinic, died from cancer six years ago.
Ms Simpkin had studied Spanish and Italian at Manchester University, but wanted to keep the business within her family.
Physiotherapist Kay Lawman, Ms Simpkin’s mother, worked at the clinic, formerly in Essex Road, before buying it from the then owners.
Regular patient Adrianne Leman, 79, said she had been seeing a chiropodist at the clinic for more than five years.
She said: “After you get old it’s hard to cut your toenails on your own. Coming here your feet feel great.”


A debate over whether former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is culpable for the Benghazi attack turned into a verbal free-for-all on "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV.
"There is nothing to answer for,'' said Democratic activist Christopher Hahn, host of "The Christopher Hahn Show."
"There was a war zone, and yes, did we leave our ambassador there too long? I think we did. But again, I don't know what we would have done differently. We are not cowards in America. We do not cut and run."
But Seton Motley, founder of Less Government, a nonprofit dedicated to reducing the power of government and protecting the First Amendment, had a different take.
"She ignored the heightened security problems and the additional security requests," Motley said.
"Everyone else got out, she didn't get out, and then four Americans died. If she was more intelligent, more wise, and had better judgment, they wouldn't be dead."
To see all of the fireworks, watch the video.

- Here are the first screenshots of something of a medival theme I will do. lthough there is an idea to think about where to attach a sci-fi mech. Like it is being repaired and all sorts of tools and parts are scattered around. A kind of mixture of sci-fi and the middle ages.
Added a Mecha by removing the stairs and changing the back wall. Redesigned the so-called metrics, reduced the modules of arches and walls, also adjusted / reworked columns and ceilings
The mech came from a mixture of thoughts about titanfall, anthem and gundams . More refs collected on the board, while not very organized
Now, I’m thinking about how to complicate the layout, while I added small stairs
- Added a dome over the Mecha. Redesigned arches, walls, columns. Added a staircase to the second floor.
In general, there is a lot of empty space in the scene now that needs to be filled with something.
- Added a couple of assets, made UV for the objects, tested the light baking.
And added some details to the Mecha.
- Outlined a couple of sci-fi assets.
I am thinking how to lead cables from the sphere to the mecha, like the mecha is charging:zap:. And I start to break objects into materials
- A strong-willed decision was made to redo everything. In that work, there were mistakes made at the very beginning: architectural planning, architectural stylistic, and difficulties with mixed setting.
Doing it from scratch with experience, everything took shape more concisely. Since the space has reduced, now everything will be more composed and richer.
Now I refuse Mecha, maybe instead of it some sculpture will be the central element of attention
