The steady-state cornering behaviour of rear-wheel drive vehicles fitted with locked differential is critically analysed by means of simple, albeit carefully formulated, vehicle models, which allow for a rigorous theoretical analysis. Results obtained for some classical manoeuvres, with either constant forward speed, steer angle or turning radius, clearly show that, in the case of locked differential, the vehicle cornering behaviour is strongly affected by the manoeuvre. As an important consequence, the handling diagram is not unique and the understeer gradient is no longer dependent only upon the lateral acceleration, as in vehicles equipped with an open differential. Accordingly, this study shows that some typical tools and concepts of vehicle dynamics are indeed inadequate in the case of locked differential.

AWHONN’s Position on Doulas with Patients During COVID-19
AWHONN recognizes that doula services contribute to the woman’s preparation for and support during childbirth and opposes hospital policies that restrict the presence of a doula during a woman’s active labor.
“Doulas are not visitors and should not be blocked from caring for patients in the antepartum, intrapartum and postpartum period. Most doulas have been contracted by patients weeks to months ahead of time and have established provider relationships. They are recognized by AWHONN and ACOG as essential personnel and part of the maternity care team,” said AWHONN member Nancy Travis, MS, BSN, RN, BC, CPN, CBC, Florida Section Chair.
AWHONN supports doulas as partners in care and acknowledges their ability to provide physical, emotional, and partner support to women. AWHONN opposes hospital policies that restrict the presence of a doula in the inpatient setting during an infectious disease outbreak.

International airports adopt electronic-scanning Doppler radars to improve perimeter security and lower costs
Mark Radford of the
With the continued targeting of aviation by terrorist groups worldwide, attention is turning from the strict levels of security employed for passenger screening, to targeting backdoor threats from the relatively low-levels of perimeter security at many of the world’s tier one and tier two airports.
Traditionally, airports have employed large numbers of CCTV cameras and security personnel to monitor for perimeter intrusions. However, the typically flat, wide-open nature of airport topography allows ground surveillance radars (GSRs) to be installed as the primary sensor for the detection of breaches of the airport perimeter.
Sophisticated electronic-scanning (e-scan) GSRs are proving popular with international airports, such as London’s Heathrow, as they provide highly-reliable, maintenance-free surveillance of key airport zones in all weather and light conditions, as well as delivering improved intruder detection performance and considerable operational cost savings.
Challenges of deploying low-cost short-range radars for aviation security
Over the last five to 10 years, many tier one airports have experimented with the installation of relatively low-cost, short-range GSRs, usually as part of an integrated perimeter intrusion detection system (PIDS). Such radars have typically achieved maximum man-detection ranges of between 0.25 to 1 mi. (400 m to 1.6 km).
The relatively low capital outlay associated with these small, mechanically-scanned radars is initially very attractive to the airport operators. However, the short detection ranges offered by these products means that they must be located close to the perimeters and/or boundaries being monitored. This also means that they must be installed close to the operational taxiways and runways of the airport itself. This can give rise to high installation costs, due to the required networking and power cables that must be laid to control and power the multiple numbers of short-range radar units required to cover the distances involved. The digging-up and laying of cables can be disruptive to normal airport operations and, hence, often necessitates that installation work be carried out overnight.
Short-range perimeter surveillance radars also suffer from high false alarm rates. It can be very difficult for these mechanically-scanned sensors to distinguish genuine targets of interest from the large clutter returns caused by radar reflections from buildings, fences and other airport structures or objects. The airport apron will also have a large number of legitimate moving traffic of all shapes and sizes, from A380s to tugs and other ground support vehicles. The false detections are often caused by the relatively crude clutter-filtering techniques used in these non-Doppler radars. Airport operators have also experienced problems with high false alarm rates during periods of inclement weather (e.g., high-winds, rain, hail, snow, etc.)
Being intrinsically mechanical in their operation, rotating radars will offer poor reliability when compared with other fully solid-state security technology. If one considers the most unreliable components in the humble desktop PC, one immediately thinks of the rotating hard-disks and power supply cooling fans. The same is true with the rotating radars. To avoid possible breakdowns, there is therefore a need for regular routine maintenance of the drive belts and motors of the antenna turning gear. Of course, due to the location of the radars, this maintenance, somewhat inconveniently, has to be carried-out overnight, when the runways and taxiways are not being used. The overall inherent unreliability of mechanical systems leads to much higher through-life costs and longer periods of potential downtime of the security system.
Benefits of long-range electronic-scanning Doppler radars
Recent developments in electronic-scanning (e-scan) radars has seen a move away from the expensive and power-hungry AESA (active electronically scanned array) military radar technology to the newer and much lower-cost PESA (passive electronically scanned array) radar technology. The lower cost entry point allows PESA security radars to be employed for both their traditional military force protection roles, as well as some more cost-sensitive roles in homeland security, such as securing critical infrastructure, such as airports and seaports.
Using PESA technology, man detection ranges out to 3, 5 or 7.5 mi. (5, 8 or 12 km) and ultra-wide elevation beams (up to 20 degrees) can be achieved. This allows the radars to stand-off from the area to be surveilled and instead be mounted on top of existing airport buildings, giving clear line-of-sight to the airport perimeter, while still maintaining the full integrity of the radar coverage zone. Being able to mount the sensors on the existing airport terminal gates and piers allows for ease of connection to readily available sources of power and network connectivity.
Fully e-scan radars are entirely solid-state with no moving parts and, hence, have no requirement for any routine maintenance of the system. Such radars are said to be “zero maintenance” with much lower associated through-life costs and a long in-service life of up to 10 years or more.
PESA radars usually include a fully-integrated Doppler processing engine, unlike their counterparts which often require external radar processing servers or PCs that then need to be hosted in a remote server room at the airport. Another benefit of e-scanning radars is that during scanning, the radar’s microwave beam is entirely stationary, allowing such systems to detect very small and slow moving targets in extremely cluttered environments. This improves their detection capabilities and reduces the false alarm rate.
Contrast this with mechanically rotating radars, where the reflected signals received by the radar are always blurred by the continuous rotational movement of the antenna. The benefits of PESA e-scan radars are clear: lower installation costs, lower through-life costs and lower false-alarm rates.
Application example: London Heathrow Airport
Heathrow Airport is the world’s busiest international airport. Over 67 million passengers travel through the airport annually on services offered by 90 airlines, travelling to more than 180 destinations in more than 90 countries. Plextek’s Blighter B400 series e-scan PESA radars, with FMCW (frequency modulated continuous wave) technology and Doppler processing, form part of an integrated perimeter security system, supplied to BAA Ltd, the airport operator that owns Heathrow.
The complete airport perimeter surveillance solution includes long-range day and night cameras and a network of high definition cameras, capable of identifying and tracking intruders detected by the radar. BAA needed a highly reliable, maintenance-free system that could provide intensive 24-hour surveillance of the airport in all weather and light conditions. The Blighter Doppler system proved technically superior to previous systems and met BAA’s requirements in full. Since deployment, the system has led to considerable operational savings, reduced security staff costs, with a marked improvement in detection.

Sweet orange peel additions exaggerate a refreshing mild acidity.
To combat the florida heat, we brewed a lighter version of a german style hefeweizen. this beer demonstrates light bananna and clove esters with a clean, refreshing finish
Wheat beer is a beer, usually top-fermented, which is brewed with a large proportion of wheat relative to the amount of malted barley. the two main varieties are weissbier and witbier.
The number one reason is craft beer tastes better than the "beer water" that is mass produced and mass marketed by the big beer companies. Craft beer tastes better because craft brewers spend their time focusing the quality of their beer rather than focusing on their marketing campaigns and stock prices.
Oh yeah! Craft beers can pack a punch. Most craft beers range from 5-10% ABV, but some can reach 20%, 30%, and even 40% ABV.

Dozhor night - why is it so eat before bedtime?
The main culprits are "fat" and "sleepy" hormones.
Problems of appetite and its regulation are precisely studied by scientists for more than a year. In our body, all processes are guided by a complex system - neurohormonal. That is, the body has a general director — the brain, which has substitutes — subcortical centers and the autonomic nervous system. They manage almost all the processes in the body. The endocrine system also has its director - it's the hypothalamus, with the main deputy - the pituitary gland, which already directly controls the peripheral glands.
The nervous system is the head office that generates teams, develops management strategies. The endocrine system is a plant that produces products - hormones. They directly affect the metabolic processes, growth, development of the body, as well as sleep and appetite.
Attacks of the “night-nine doge”, according to the researchers, occur due to the imbalance of such hormones as:
- leptin (“fatty” hormone, produced directly by adipose tissue);
- melatonin ("sleepy" hormone produced by the pineal gland of the brain).
Violation of the relationship between them and their allocation in connection with the daily rhythms leads to the fact that the internal biological clock is shifted. In the evening, the body does not want to sleep, is active and wants to eat, demanding energy. And in the morning it is difficult to swing, food does not get out until lunch. And even longer I want to sleep. In addition, the night sore can also be provoked by certain external factors, such as stress, mental and body over-stimulation, problems with the production of gastric juice (its excessive production).
I want some bad food!
In 2013, scientists in America conducted an experiment for 2 weeks. In the course of it, they studied the behavior and habits of people prone to night raids on the refrigerator. It turned out that the craving for night food does not depend on how early you get up and how much you eat throughout the day. But this is not the most problematic: in the quiet of the night, the hands themselves are drawn not to yogurts and cucumbers with apples, but to fatty, very sweet or salty, unhealthy foods.But I do not want to eat oatmeal or gnaw a wholesome carrot at all.
Often, people who have trouble falling asleep often suffer from night lodging. They lie for hours without sleep, they are bored, because all the homeworkers are asleep, and because they have nothing to do, they themselves carry their feet where they can pleasantly and tastyly entertain themselves. Usually, there is also a TV in the kitchen, and now, under the cheerful serial TV, a cake, cake or even half a pot of fried potatoes suddenly disappears in the depths of the stomach.
More often, loners suffer from similar problems: if you live alone, willy-nilly, you often look in the fridge or on the shelves of the kitchen cabinet. Salty chips, nuts or sweet cookies with tea are asking in your mouth, it is impossible to resist such a temptation.
I'm all on my nerves! Need anti-stress
Everyone knows that stress affects the body destructively and the body resists it in every way. And quenching hunger is one of the anti-stress mechanisms, along with alcohol intake. This is a kind of bad habit - to chew negative emotions and experiences. During stress, the level of stress hormones rises sharply, the adrenal glands are literally squeezed “into a rag”, throwing horse's doses of adrenaline and its analogues, as well as cortisol, into the blood.But if adrenaline with norepinephrine does not last long in the blood, causing a trembling of the body, a frenzied knock of the heart and pallor of the minutes for 5-10, then cortisol affects longer and more seriously.
I want to eat because the blood glucose level decreases: it goes into the starving cells of the body so that they are filled with energy. Cortisol stimulates a decrease in the level of sugar, literally by force pushing glucose into the cells at the expense of its assistant, the hormone insulin, produced by the pancreas.
Cortisol during stress spurs the body, because during the evolution the response to stress in the body was of the "beat or run" type. Previously, what were the stresses: a tiger attacked, warriors of a neighboring tribe called into battle, crop failure came, and there is nothing, you need to catch mammoths. Therefore, the metabolism is configured to provide strength for the battle (well, or shameful flight, but safe and sound)
Today we don’t have to fight with anyone, the products in the store are for every taste, but the mechanisms of stress in general have not changed. The level of glucose is greatly reduced - the brain begins to starve and insistently asks to eat, and it does not matter to him that it is midnight on the clock, or even later. A person with a healthy metabolism, the level of cortisol is high during the day, it gives vigor and strength, in the evening its level decreases, at night it is minimal.Many of us have stress violated this natural mechanism, hence the problems of sleep and the constant desire at night to chew all sorts of hazards. And if in the evening someone has seriously ruffled your nerves, it is often that to calm down, only tea with cookies or buns can help in the middle of the night.
I have no time to eat in the afternoon
There is also a hypothesis that people are paying the price for a nocturnal diet for the day. If during the day there is no time to eat according to all the rules, at least three times, and ideally four or five (with lunch and afternoon tea), then at night the brain requires its own! He understands that we are already at home, next to the refrigerator and it’s time to compensate for the daily calories. And he will require a grilled chicken, french fries and a sweet donut, because it is they who will immediately give half the daily calories in one go. It is suspected that this tendency to "greed" has remained evolutionarily in the brain since those ancient times when food had to be harvested and such abundant meals were rare. The body eats "in reserve", storing excess on its sides - for a rainy day.
Fat sides and a sick stomach!
Doctors warn: a blurred waist and sides with pretty fat folds - not the worst result of night dodzhor.Such snacking in the light of stars can significantly impair your digestion, getting gastritis, reflux disease (throwing food from the stomach with acid into the esophagus) and even tumors of the digestive tube. In addition, lovers of eating at night often get constipation, bloating and swelling in the morning.
The most correct thing is to try to eat 2 hours before bedtime, but not later. It is necessary that the food is partially digested and unloaded the digestive system. Do not eat after 18:00 - this is true for those who go to bed at 20: 00-21: 00. If you go to bed at midnight, you can eat and at 21:00 - there will be no harm. But not before going to bed!

Cafe Recordings artist P.A.C (Powerful and Calm) has been featuring on releases like the UK Runnings series and Mista Jaes projects for a while, and it's nice to finally hear the solid emcee on his own project.
This EP, 'Matter Of Opinion' begins with 'Complex Theory' featuring Valu. The beat is a typical hip-hop affair with a nice deep bass. The hook is catchy and the verses orientate around the topics of boasting and the quality of other rappers. P.A.C's vocals don't instantly sound as charismatic and interesting as some of his freestyles that can be caught floating around, but it's a listenable voice which executes solid, but not overly impressive lyrics.
'Blaah!' has quite an original and inventive beat but begins with an instantly annoying chanted hook which is a major put off. P.A.C's flow for the rest of the track remains quite basic and uninteresting, whilst the lyrics fail to excite too. Perhaps if a more contemporary and experimental flow was implemented, the track as a whole would work a lot better.
'Opportunity Knocks' is produced very well. The loop based track of mellow drums and sound effects sounds great. The vocals are a lot better than the previous track, with a fairly interesting choice of subject matter which is easy to get your teeth into and think about.
'Bump' features GenieDon and Antidote. After a short intro of tedious talking, things get started and the track quickly becomes the standout affair of the whole release. The beat is quite atmospheric and dramatic, and all the vocals and lyrics match it extremely well. The added sample during the chorus sounds very sweet and Antidote shines a bright light over the need for him to release solo material.
'Power…' is a suitably named political track with a typical UK hip-hop attitude towards Tony Blair and the government. The beat on this is of a quite dirty loop which works well. As the song goes on, the lyrics become more interesting to follow and redeem the song from the typical teenage angst tripe which it showed a glimpse of being at the start.
Overall, this is a quality release from a record label which continues to grow and develop, whilst all the time putting out consistently enjoyable and worthwhile music. (Unfortunately the press release doesn't state who produced what)

The Education Department will spend about $5 billion on the program, and even if you’re thinking, hey, I could use $5 billion, consider this: New York won the largest federal grant, $700 million over the next four years. In that time, roughly $230 billion will be spent on public education in the state. By adding just one-third of one percent to state coffers, the feds get to implement their version of education reform.
That includes rating teachers and principals by their students’ scores on state tests; using those ratings to dismiss teachers with low scores and to pay bonuses to high scorers; and reducing local control of education.
Second, the secretary of education, Arne Duncan, and his education scientists do not have to do the dirty work. For teachers in subject areas and grades that do not have state tests (music, art, technology, kindergarten through third grade) or do not have enough state tests to measure growth (every high school subject), it is the state’s responsibility to create a system of alternative ratings.
In New York, that will have to cover 79 percent of all teachers, a total of 175,000 people. The only state tests for assessing teachers are for English and math, from fourth grade to eighth.
Third, federal officials don’t wind up looking like dictators telling states how to do their jobs. They’re happy to let state officials work out the details.
In New York, state officials have also decided not to be dictatorial. They’re happy to let the state’s 700 school districts figure out, individually, how to assess those 175,000 teachers.
Fourth, while President Harry S. Truman said the buck stops here, costing himself a lot of extra time and effort, President Obama can say the buck stops way down there, cutting his workload.
Of course, a buck whizzing downward has to land somewhere, and in this case it sits on the desk of Paul R. Infante, the director of fine and applied arts for the Commack School District on Long Island.
Mr. Infante is trying to figure out how to develop a test or an assessment system to rate band teachers.
Several weeks ago the state sent out a guide. The band teacher could listen to every child play at the start of the year and assign a score from 1 to 4.
“At the end of the year,” the state guide says, “the teacher re-evaluates their students.” (Someone needs to evaluate the state’s grammar.)
The teacher again grades students from 1 to 4, and the sum of the progress they have made during the year determines the teacher’s rating.

this has only just statred to happen but after the long journey me and my family took from the uk to france and back again my car developed a lack of power, could not get it above 2000 revs and 50 mph. Felt like a possilby coil pack break down. After letting the car cool down for a while it was ok. Then it started to happen again. Check for blink codes and found code 37 but I can not see anything to do with this fault code would cause this problem. Many thanks any suggestions?
have the same problem?

It's rather amusing to listen to major media figures ponder the question of whether John McCain will be able to successfully change the subject away from the economy and towards controversial figures Barack Obama has met. It's entertaining, of course, because the media figures treat this as something they have nothing to do with -- as if the political discourse is some kind of independent animal, which news outlets are powerless to control.
The reality is, McCain wants the political world to obsess over the three-headed Ayers-Rezko-Wright monster, and it will be successful if the media decides the three-headed monster is suddenly newsworthy. There's no great mystery here. In fact, the pundits' speculation is silly -- if they follow McCain's orders, and talk about what he wants them to talk about, McCain's plan will be a triumph; if not, it won't.
The thing a lot of journalists don't seem to understand is that they don't have to cover attacks about Bill Ayers.
If they have concluded that Obama's non-friendship with a Chicago education activist who did controversial things 40 years ago when Obama was a child isn't as important as, say, the economy, there's nothing compelling them to cover Ayers. Nothing at all. The fact that John McCain or his surrogates want reporters to talk about Ayers doesn't mean they have to do so. "Journalism" doesn't mean "doing what John McCain wants you to do."
Candidates say thousands of words every day. The media ignores the vast majority of them. What makes MSNBC think they are required to broadcast the couple of dozen words Sarah Palin says about Bill Ayers? Particularly when she said the same couple of dozen words yesterday, too?
So we have the bizarre situation where reporters talk about things like Bill Ayers, all the while suggesting that things like Ayers are "distractions." Right! So ... stop!
If a reporter honestly thinks that with fewer than 30 days to go before election day -- and with early voting already underway in many states -- Bill Ayers is one of the most important things for voters to hear about, fine. He or sh should cover Ayers. But reporters who think that the economy, health care, war, terrorism, and the Constitution are more important should just cover those things. It doesn't matter if the candidates aren't talking about them -- reporters don't work for campaigns.
Is that really so hard to understand?

In my July contribution to The Pastry Box Project, If Not Now, published on the eve of my 32nd birthday, I share my lifelong struggle with seeking approval — and that perfect intersection of readiness and permission where everything seems to click.
When I turned 30, I suddenly had this realization that I was officially an adult and no longer needed anyone’s permission. “Screw you, I’m 30!” I’d say out loud to my imaginary naysayers. Not long after, I left New York, left everything behind I’d ever known in search of a life that was more me. I sold all of the possessions I was always told I was supposed to have, I said goodbye to all of the conveniences I was always told I was supposed to love, and I did exactly what was in my heart. Why was I moving to the middle of nowhere when I had a thriving business on the brink of expansion? “Because I’m 30 and I can do whatever I want!”
But that audaciousness didn’t last. Two years later and I still find myself desperate for approval.

18 March, 2009 - The government’s compensation rates for land and houses acquired for developmental work will soon be revised upwards by as much as 1000 percent for some rural lands, according to a document acquired by Kuensel.
For now, the cabinet has agreed to the revision in principle only, following a report by the property assessment and valuation agency (PAVA) report on the issue. The previous government rates were seen as being too low.
Landowners in cities like Thimphu, Phuentsholing, Gelephu, Samtse and Damphu will see some increase in the compensation rates.
In the case of rural landholders, compensation rates will apply to chuzhing (paddy), kamzhing (dry), and cash crops land. There is, however, no revision for sokshing (shrub) and tsamdro (pasture), as they fall under the government, according to the Land Act 2007.
The rural land compensation rates will be different for each of the 20 dzongkhags, based on a formula, where estimated income from the land for the next 20 years, its market value, and the value assigned to land by financial institutions will be factored in. The closer the land is to a municipal boundary, the higher the compensation.
The compensation rates earlier were Nu 350 per decimal for chuzhing and Nu 200 per decimal for kamzhing across the country. The proposed average value for rural land in all dzongkhags, except Thimphu, according to the document, range from about Nu 2000 to Nu 8000.
The urban land rates for towns like Thimphu, Phuentsholing, Gelephu, Samtse and Damphu (Tsirang) will only see marginal increases. The rates will be based on land usage, though location will still play a key role. Earlier, it was based on the commercial and residential designation. Thimphu, for example, will now have around 27 different rates, based on land usage and location.
The urban core area rate in Thimphu, as per the proposed revision, would be Nu 1383.80 per square foot for the most prime location, compare to the earlier compensation of Nu 1,083. However, compensation for urban lands in 17 other dzongkhags, except Thimphu, Samtse and Tsirang, has decreased slightly.
For buildings and structures, there’s higher compensation with a reduced rate of deprecation on the estimated value of the house. Earlier, permanent structures were calculated with a decreasing value of 3.5 percent per year after construction, with a lifespan of 70 years, after which only 8.26 percent of the estimated value was given as scrap value. However, in the new system, there will be no deprecation calculated for structures for the first five years. The shelf life has been proposed at 75 years, with an after-life value calculated at 30 percent.
In another reform, traditional Bhutanese mud and wood houses of rural areas have been shifted from semi permanent to permanent category.
The proposed revised rates are expected to address socio-economic inequality, create a land market, prevent speculation, and also open credit options for owners. The aim of the proposed rates is also to address compensation issues, which are likely to emerge because of planned development activities, including mega hydro projects.

Today it was shared by a very reliable source that Supernatural will return very shortly to Vancouver to complete filming of the final two (2) episodes of season 15.
The show will begin filming the first of the two episodes on August 18th with filming set to wrap production on 11 September 2020, thus ending the filming of the show forever. The cast will head to Canada soon as they will have to adhere to Canada’s strict quarantine of two weeks before filming starts.
We hope Jensen and all the cast stay safe during this time as they work to complete the telling of a decade and a half story the way they want to. Hopefully Jensen will share some updates – maybe his last transformation into Dean Winchester as he sheds this unexpected hiatus look!
Update: Jensen and Jared did a new interview from their homes talking about what the lockdown has been like for them and thoughts on returning to work.


Politics JUST IN: Trump Seized Docs ‘Inadvertently’ Revealed Including ‘Analysis About Who Should Get a Pardon’
Justice Department files revised inventory of items seized from Mar-a-Lago
The Justice Department filed a revised inventory of items seized from Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, in addition to a declaration supporting the list's accuracy.Senior U.S. District Judge Raymond J. Dearie of New York, the court-appointed special master in the case, had ordered the Justice Department to file a declaration of all non-classified items to Trump's lawyers as part of his review of documents that federal agents seized on Aug. 8.
A list of materials seized during theon Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property was revealed after being “inadvertently posted,” according to a new report.
The materials log created by a Privilege Review Team was briefly posted publicly, but is no longer available, Bloomberg’s Zoe Tillman reported Wednesday.
The detailed lists of seized materials were attached to a recently unsealed Aug. 30 report from the Justice Department. A judge had ordered the logs stay under seal but they appeared to be inadvertently posted to the public court docket. They’re no longer publicly visible.
Trump once told his biracial ex-girlfriend that her intelligence came 'from her dad, the white side,' book claims
According to a new book by New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, Trump made the remark to his former girlfriend, Kara Young.My visits there as a White House reporter for Politico more than five years ago came during the earliest days of Trump's presidency. They gave me an up-close look into all of the controversy and celebrity hoopla that surrounded a man who just months earlier had become the most powerful person on the planet.
The list was created by a team sorting through the mass of documents seized during the raid. The log includes two lists of potentially privileged material, mainly documents related to Trump’s legal battles over the years. Other material includes “analysis about who should get a pardon, call notes marked with a presidential seal, retainer agreements for lawyers and accountants, and legal bills.”
Thealso includes 35 pages marked as “The President’s Calls” with the Presidential Seal and including handwritten notes like, “Message from Rudy,” which could refer to Trump ally Rudy Giuliani. Another is the “confidential settlement” agreement between Trump and the PGA.
There are also documents related to people who received pardons and clemency from Trump, including former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, whose sentence wasby the former president in 2020. One document referring to Blagojevich is referred to as “commutation internal analysis.” Another is the letter to the judge in the case regarding the clemency.
Donald Trump says a simple disclaimer gives him immunity from fraud. Could he have a point?
Donald Trump thinks a two-page disclaimer he staples to his financial documents makes him immune from fraud. Not everyone thinks that's crazy."We have a disclaimer," Trump told the Fox News host.
Also logged in the documents is what appears to be a 2016 letter from Trump’s doctor touting the former president being in.
One of the reasons Judge Aileen CannonThe post a special master in the investigation into whether Trump mishandled classified documents was the inclusion of “medical documents” in seized materials. The letter listed in the reported log is marked “Medical letter from Dr. Harold N. Bornstein dated 9/3/16.” This could be the same Trump’s campaign made public in 2016. There do not appear to be other medical records listed in the log, with most other documents referring to tax information and legal cases. first appeared on .

THEORIES OF INTELLIGENCE INTRODUCTION Throughout history, numerous researchers have suggested different definitions regarding intelligence and that it is a single, general ability, while other researchers believed that the definition of intelligence includes a range of skills. Spearman (general intelligence), Gardner (multiple intelligence) and Goleman (emotional intelligence) have all looked into further research regarding intelligence, where 3 different theories were formed regarding what intelligence is and how it should be defined. Since then, Binet, Simon and Terman have all contributed to intelligence testing. Although, there is still controversy over intelligence testing.
Music has been around since the very beginning and has played roles both big and small in many different cultures. In American culture music is only growing each and every day with new artist and new types of music coming into the culture. Music can be complex but it can also be as simple as beating a foot to the ground. Gilbert Galindo a music composer writes about the importance of music in American culture in his article, The Importance of Music in our Society, “Art and music are basic human functions; humankind and art cannot function without on another” (Galindo, 1). If one were to think about this, truly think about it, they would see that it is true; humans cannot live without music.
In summary, their job is to teach kids how to read music and play a string instrument in a group with kids who play either the same or different orchestra instrument. For the most part, A orchestra teacher requires a lot of experience in music, playing instruments, a bachelors degree, patience,
As a part of my courses, I have already done over 10 hours of school teacher observations of different age groups just this past school semester. I am also a member of PMEA and NAFME organizations. I attend their monthly meetings to help better my understanding of music education as a whole and see what the latest news is in the music educator community. Each member in these organizations are a part of an interconnected web of Music Educators on the East Coast. These members are valuable resources to help starting education majors, such as myself, understand the career field, give valuable tips, and even offer job opportunities in the community.
During the 1760’s Joseph began to solidify and make his style of music better. Some of the books that he has wrote are London Symphonies, also the Complete Piano Sonatas. He had been a house officer. For a very long decade he had an even more chance to make his fame go further. In the early 1780’s even thing were rough he still had the viennese firm Artaria published his six Opus 33 quartets.
He continued to educate Kathleen by teaching her Latin and children’s classics. The guidance of James resulted in Kathleen accomplished, snobbish identity confined by her luxury. Members within her community also helped heighten her confidence as they described her as “[whose] every feature formed [is] to preternatural perfection” (MacDonald 41). Due to Kathleen mainly
Without a doubt attending North Carolina Governor 's School West has had the greatest impact on my thinking. I was privileged to join a few hundred of the brightest minds of my age in Winston-Salem, North Carolina for a six week experience away from outside influence. This immersion was especially life altering because of how open-minded everyone was to new perspectives. This truly created an environment of learning and expression in addition to being a major liberation from my everyday life as I had to be truly independent while on Salem College’s campus. I attended as a choral ensemble student, but was able to experience so much more in addition to choir.
Reflective Essay 1 In the course of this class, one thing that we are supposed to do is listen to different cultures of music and compare them to today’s music while also comparing them to the stereotypes that music is viewed today for those cultures. In this class, we have listened to Popular Music as well as Native American Music. In this paper, we are reflecting on ourselves through the course of this class based on the different music we listened to, but mainly Native American Music, by interpreting, providing our overall takeaways, and also reflecting on the process of music-making. To start off with, what stands out to me regarding the music of this culture?
Music In The Classroom They all look at the same question though: does music make studying easier or does it distract you from learning? In an age where every student has an iPod or iTunes capability, the integration of music in the classroom has grown phenomenally.
Just as in warmups this choir wows me again. Most choirs I’ve ever been apart of you have to start with continuously pounding out the notes and rhythms. This choir can pick up a sheet of music and sing through the whole song with impressive note accuracy. That excites me as I’m finally in a choir that’s not held back by slow learning singers and we can dig right into the music. I’m so excited for what my high school choir experience could bring me.
A band director can teach students on a middle school level up to a college level depending on his or her degree. As the students mature, the band director should see exponential growth in the students ' playing ability. A band director teaches students how to play their intruments well and to fluently read and interpret music. Students should be exposed to a variety of different genres of music. Band directors may also give private lessons to students who wished to be above average or that simply need some one on one help.

CURRENTLY NO UPDATES AS I'M IN THE HOSPITAL! THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE
I'm so sorry for slowing down in terms of updates. As many of you already know: I struggle at times with my mental health and for a while now, it's slowly been getting more and more unbearable and sadly, with it, I've been feeling less inspired and motivated. That doesn't mean I'm not writing, just that it's not as much as I used to.
But rest assured, even if they're on hiatus, none of my on-going work will ever be abandoned. I've promised that from day one of posting my stories on here and continue to stand by it.
Starting from New Year's, I will be updating one story a week! Here's the order of updates:
Week 1: Ghost Inside My Chest (COMMISSION)
I may or may not throw a break in every once in a while once I've reached/posted an update for the last title. I'll see how I get on with things first!
I'm also sorry to have to say the following stories are currently on hiatus for several reasons, but the main one being how dark they all are or are getting, and my mental health not really being strong enough to handle it right now. They're not permanently on hiatus and they're not being abandoned either - I fully intend to come back to them.
Dying Embers, So This is Love, Red String of Fate and Discoveries.
Lots of love
~Rise of the Blossom
Commissions are CLOSED.
You can also purchase early releases for my on-going stories, see my plans, ideas and prologues for future stories and read sequel one-shots for my stories by supporting me - I currently have a one-shot for Saviour posted on my Ko-Fi account! Oh! And I'm also practicing drawing once more in the hopes of doing some doujinshi.
If the links don't seem to be working, you can find me by my username: riseoftheblossom
So, looking back at a few of my older stories, I'm contemplating re-writing some of them. Nothing too major, as some of them I just don't want to touch. Things like To Love & To Lose and Battle of the Empires/Minds I probably won't change at all - not because I'm happy with them, but because I'll probably end up taking the whole thing down out of frustration and then losing complete motivation to finish and repost them. And I'd rather not do that, because while it frustrates me seeing how bad they are, I also like looking back and comparing them to new work to see the growth in my writing skills.
I've already been through Saviour and have almost finished editing that one. Same goes for Give Me A Reason and Setting Sun. One story that I'm seriously considering rewriting, however, is Bruised, Broken & Healed, so that the plot will hopefully be less rushed and the same goes for the They Never Knew series once Discoveries is complete. I was never too pleased with how the story-lines progressed and the lack of attention in certain areas.

Some of you seem to be getting a little confused with what order some of the stories go in, so I thought I'd put them here (this does not include one shots) for you. That way, you won't start on a sequel instead of reading the first story:
To Love & To Lose
Battle of the Empires -- Battle of the Minds
Better In Time
Mercy, Love & Other Useless Things
Bruised, Broken & Healed
Give Me A Reason
Discoveries -- They Never Knew -- Until It Was Too Late
You Make Me Feel
Who Said Anything About Love? -- So This Is Love
The Shadows of Your Heart
Could Roses Bloom?
But Still, I Rise
I hope this clears things up for you all!

DVD REVIEWS: THE BOYS IN THE BAND
Published 4:00 am, Sunday, November 16, 2008
This film, directed by William Friedkin and based on Mart Crowley's breakthrough play, is often dismissed (sometimes by people who haven't seen it) as sappy and dated. But on second look, it's one of the important films of the 1970s. It's the story of eight gay men (and one possibly gay, possibly straight man) who come together for a friend's birthday party and end up having a pretty miserable night, with lots of lashing out and lots of self-loathing. Some will accept and others will reject the film's portrayal of the gay experience at this time. But don't get bogged down in that issue. Think instead of what the movie is implicitly saying: that self-realization is tied to societal acceptance, that it's too much to expect someone to think well of himself, even within a close peer group, if everything in the outside culture is telling him that he's garbage. Thus, the need for the gay rights movement, in its infancy as this film was going before the cameras in late 1969. The ensemble - transferred from the Broadway production - is uniformly excellent, most notably Leonard Frey as Harold and Kenneth Nelson as Michael. A sad side note is that five of the actors died of AIDS, either in the late '80s or early '90s. The special features include a documentary that places the film in historical perspective.

After a two years love story, he decided to it make official to his girlfriend Naomi Nelson.
It seems that the couple wanted to keep this event away from the media and no details about the wedding ceremony were given.
Johnny and Naomi engaged earlier this week and decided to wed as soon as possible. The engagement ring was a 2.50 carat Edwardian and was bought from L.A.’s Platt Boutique Jewelry.
According to a source’s statement, “Naomi was drawn to this ring because it is unlike anything she had seen–feminine, delicate and detailed”.
The newlyweds are also to proud parents of son Rocko Akira Clapp, which was born in December 2009.
The actor was previously married to Melanie Clapp from which he divorced in 2008 and has a daughter named Madison.

The decision from the presidential primaries is already in, however the perfect information on what they imply for the final election is simply now starting to reach.
That information is vote historical past: a person-by-person report of who voted and who didn’t. It affords a definitive account of the make-up of the voters, and it’ll assist reply a few of the most essential questions of the first season, from whether or not the Nikki Haley voters already again President Biden as to whether the first outcomes counsel Mr. Biden is best positioned than the polls counsel.
Final week, we acquired the primary massive tranche of vote historical past information from a spot the place we’ve finished a current state ballot: Georgia.
A minimum of right here, it suggests that the majority Haley voters already supported Mr. Biden in 2020. It additionally implies that Mr. Biden’s energy within the primaries is just not inconsistent with polls exhibiting him struggling amongst younger and Black voters.
The Haley vote in Georgia
Within the Republican major in Georgia, Ms. Haley obtained 13.2 p.c of the vote. That won’t have been wherever close to sufficient to win, but it surely may simply be sufficient to be an enormous headache for Donald J. Trump if these are Republicans who’ve soured on the previous president.
The vote historical past information affords a couple of clues suggesting that Mr. Trump doesn’t have a lot to fret about right here — or no less than nothing new to fret about. Most of those voters already backed Mr. Biden within the 2020 election and proceed to again him in 2024.
There are two items of proof to help this concept.
The primary comes from the vote historical past information from earlier partisan primaries in Georgia. That information reveals that about 10 p.c of voters on this month’s Republican major had voted in a Democratic major within the final eight years — indication that they might have been Democrats voting in a Republican contest. These voters most likely backed Ms. Haley by a large margin.
A second comes from our October Instances/Siena survey of Georgia, which we matched to the brand new vote historical past data. Respondents who voted within the current Republican presidential major stated that they had voted for Mr. Trump over Mr. Biden by a margin of 82 p.c to 12 p.c in 2020, a tally just like what these voters say they’ll do in November. Each tallies mirror Mr. Trump’s 85-13 victory within the Georgia major.
The similarity between the Republican major outcomes and the ballot responses of Republican major voters counsel that the majority of Mr. Trump’s weak spot within the major merely got here from these already inclined to again Mr. Biden in 2020 and 2024.
Amongst stable Republicans, Mr. Trump stays on stronger footing. He held a 94-2 polling lead over Mr. Biden amongst Republican major voters who recognized as Republicans within the Instances/Siena survey. Equally, he had a 91-3 lead amongst Republican major voters who had not voted in a current Democratic major.
What about Biden?
The Democratic major has not been aggressive this 12 months, and Georgia was no exception. Total, President Biden received 95 p.c of the vote in Georgia, one in every of his greatest tallies wherever within the nation.
Not surprisingly, the Instances/Siena ballot final fall discovered no proof of great dissent amongst these voters: Mr. Biden had a 96-0 lead over Mr. Trump amongst Instances/Siena respondents who went on to vote within the Democratic major, 4 months later.
What’s fascinating is that the Instances/Siena ballot discovered loads of proof of Democratic dissent among the many broader group of registered voters. Within the head-to-head polling matchup in Georgia in October, Mr. Trump led Mr. Biden by six factors, together with discovering Mr. Biden at simply 76-19 amongst Black voters general. (In 2020, he received round 90 p.c of the Black vote in Georgia.)
So why did Mr. Biden win a decisive victory when the polls confirmed him faring comparatively poorly? The vote historical past information suggests the reply is easy: Those that voted within the Democratic major and the broader group of registered voters are very completely different, with very completely different views of Mr. Biden.
Total, simply 4 p.c of registered voters turned out within the Democratic major. Practically half had been 65 and over; simply 5 p.c had been below 30. It seems that this previous and extremely engaged group of Democrats could be very loyal to Mr. Biden.
That is notably clear seeing Biden’s help amongst Black voters, who account for over one-fourth of the voters in Georgia.
Remarkably, not one of the Black voters who flirted with Mr. Trump within the October ballot — those that stated they might select him in November 2024 — ended up voting in a major, whether or not within the Republican major or as Democratic dissenters. Mr. Biden led, 96-0, within the Instances/Siena ballot amongst self-identified Black voters who turned out within the March 12 major, versus 74-21 amongst all different Black voters. Regardless of Mr. Trump’s help within the ballot, solely about 5 p.c of Black major voters determined to forged a poll within the Republican major, in keeping with state voter data.
This isn’t the primary time we’ve seen an enormous distinction between major voters and the remainder of the voters. In Instances/Siena information, Mr. Biden is struggling badly amongst irregular younger and nonwhite voters, serving to to provide Mr. Trump a slim lead amongst registered voters nationwide. On the similar time, Mr. Trump fares poorly amongst extremely engaged voters, like those that vote in particular elections.
Mr. Biden has main weaknesses within the polling, however his issues aren’t being put to the take a look at in low-turnout primaries. The final election is when the irregular voters have a tendency to point out up, in the event that they present up in any respect.

Aiding the Scholarly Journey: Using the Humanities to Change the Culture
Sponsored by Modern Language Association
Recorded on 05/26/2021
Posted in The Authority File
Paula Krebs, Executive Director of the Modern Language Association, is sick of having to defend the Humanities. Though Paula agrees that a public relations issue exists, she argues that the existing culture—whether in the form of political attacks, budget cuts, or even parents urging students to pursue other majors—needs to transform. “I get really tired of the rhetoric of crisis around the Humanities … The Humanities are the framework through which we examine and we critique and we try to change the culture—the culture is what’s in crisis.”
In this final episode, Paula asserts that the Humanities are at the forefront of our most pressing societal issues—the pandemic, white supremacy, and immigration, to name a few. Paula also explains how the MLA supports social and racial justice through conferences, shared resources, and vigorous engagement with the academic community.
About the guest:
Paula M. Krebs

LPAC has it all for 2014-15 season
Music, circus, ballet, and animal trainer Jack Hanna featured
Merdies Hayes | 6/27/2014, midnight
From classic Rock ’n Roll, to the best in Country music, and legendary Soul sounds, the Lancaster Performing Arts Center has introduced a 2014-15 lineup for practically all modern music tastes. There will also be performances by Cirque Zuma Zuma, Cedar Street Theatre, the Antelope Valley Ballet and a late-season show by animal expert Jack Hanna.
Orquesta De Baja California
The new season will start with a 3 p.m. matinee on Sept. 21 with Orquesta De Baja California. Conductor and world renowned guitarist Angel Romero, who made his debut at age 16 with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, leads this 100-year-old orchestra hailing from Guadalajara, Mexico. The orchestra performs a wide-ranging style of classical music from baroque to modern.
Romero has been compared with some of the most prolific and iconic guitarists such as Andres Segovia, Carlos Montoya and Charo. He wrote the score for the popular 1989 film “The Milagro Beanfield War” and has been a featured soloist with the New York Philharmonic, the New World Symphony and through the years has conducted the Royal Philharmonic, the Berlin Symphoniker and the Beijing Philharmonic. Tickets are $34 and $24.
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
One of the most popular acts of the 1980s, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts will perform at 8 p.m., Sept. 27. Their first hit, “I Love Rock ’n Roll” reached No. 1 on the 1982 Billboard Hot 100 list and launched the group’s success. Another hit from that groundbreaking year was a remake of Tommy James and the Shondell’s “Crimson and Clover.” Other hits include “I Hate Myself For Loving You,” Do You Wanna Touch Me,” “Light of Day” and ‘Love Is All Around.” Three of the group’s albums have been certified platinum or gold.
Jett began playing guitar at age 14, around the time her family moved from Rockville, Md. to West Covina. Early on she was a founding member of The Runaways, a group that featured fellow Rock goddess Lita Ford. A 2010 film was made about The Runaways starring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. Tickets are $69 and $59.
Cirque Zuma Zuma
Cirque Zuma Zuma brings its high-energy spectacular to town for a 3 p.m. matinee on Oct. 19. Often described as an African version of Cirque du Soleil, Cirque Zuma Zuma combines the mysticism of their various homelands in a non-stop, action-packed performance featuring some of the world’s most talented singers, musicians and acrobats.
Although most of the performers were trained in Kenya and Tanzania, the show features South African vocalists, gumboot dancers (boots worn by mine workers in South Africa), contortionists, Zimbabwean percussionists, Egyptian limbo dancers, Gabonese tumblers and amazing pole acts. Cirque Zuma Zuma captured the attention of the American audience with an appearance last year on “America’s Got Talent.” The 20-member troupe has performed in Australia and in a number of European countries. Tickets are $29, $19 and $12.
Appearing at 7 p.m. on Nov. 2, this Country music quartet has amassed RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) certified sales in excess of 10 million units since its debut in 1995. Since then, Lonestar has garnered 10 No. 1 Country hits including “No News,” “Come Crying to Me” and their 1999 crossover smash “Amazed” which received the 1999 Academy of Country Music “Song of the Year” award.

Guam! Northern Mariana Islands! American Samoa! The Democratic National Convention kicked off on Monday and, as we know, it wasn’t in Milwaukee. Instead, it was everywhere!
And speaking of everywhere, this week’s Burke’s Law podcast welcomes my old friend and true political professional, Andrew Ballard. Andrew has run transportation for the last three Democratic conventions and has 30 years experience working on large events, inaugurals and both Democratic and Republican conventions. He joined us this week precisely because he isn’t working — the Democrats wanted to spend this week in Milwaukee drinking beer and eating cheese, but that plan got scrapped and, for the first time, the entire convention is virtual. Andrew not only gave us an insider’s view of the logistics of holding a convention but of reimagining one, too.
I know Andrew because I have worked on three Democratic conventions with him as well as several inaugurals, and I’m so excited to share his experience on this week’s podcast. I’m joined, as always, by the other two legs of the Burke’s Law stool: Leonard Jacobs, the founder of The Clyde Fitch Report, and Michael Houk, our multimedia sound-editing wizard living, safely masked, in Georgia.
Watching the Democratic convention this week, I’ve realized that because the entire night is on TV, and virtual, the American people get to see what normally only delegates get to see. This includes me and Andrew, since transportation folk typically have to work round the clock to ensure a smooth operation. On the final night of a convention, though, you could always find us in the VIP bar area for the crowning of the Democratic candidate.
This year, millions of Americans are having their heartstrings pulled: if you don’t love kids singing the national anthem, you’re dead inside. So far, we’ve nodded in total appreciation at sometimes-awkward Zoom speeches from homes, fields and crossroads — including the GOP’s John Kasich literally standing at one. The awkward, technologically uncomfortable farmer telling us how the trade wars have decimated his farm; Jill Biden’s live speech that froze for a few seconds like every Zoom call since March. And — and — Kristin Urquiza: the daughter of an Arizona man who lost his life to COVID-19 delivering one of the single most powerful lines on Monday night about her father:
His only preexisting condition was trusting Donald Trump, and for that, he paid with his life.
And then there was Tuesday’s roll call. This is the official part of the convention when the delegate count is taken and the nomination becomes official. Usually it’s a raucous, lively sight, with each state’s delegates bedecked in buttons and bedazzled in pins and hats and waving flags and giddily shouting about their Great State of [Name That State].
For this year’s virtual roll call, we were taken on a tour of America, showcasing the beauty of our nation and the diversity of our populace. It was like a beautifully shot movie with First Nation leaders, Matthew Shepard’s parents, Gold Star parent Khizr Khan, Parkland dad and activist Fred Guttenberg — and Miss Lindsey Graham’s opponent in South Carolina, Jamie Harrison — all representing their states. Such blatant non-whiteness was a direct poke in the eye of the racist in the White House, a clear statement that America is multi-cultural, full of immigrants, full of a whole variety of faces, religions, backgrounds and stories that make us vibrant and exciting. That non-whiteness is exactly what the scared man in the White House will use to incite fear and angst next week when the Republican convention unveils his post-apocalyptic, dystopian, fear-fueled, city-burning hellscape vision of the land of the not-free and the home of the craven.
Who will speak at it? Apparently the GOP has invited that rich white couple from St. Louis who were so terrified by a multiracial group of protesters on their street that they ran outside and brandished their guns, convinced that they might have to start killing people to protect their preposterous mega-mansion. And that despicable MAGA hat-wearing teen at the Washington Monument who was red-faced with rage, his spittle flying, standing inches from a Native American who was there for the Indigenous People March. And maybe, just maybe, Scott Baio.
Here are words from Michelle Obama’s extraordinary speech to take with you as we move into the final few months of this bizarre election year:
Donald Trump is the wrong president for our country. He has had more than enough time to prove that he can do the job, but he is clearly in over his head. He cannot meet this moment. He simply cannot be who we need him to be for us. It is what it is.

Maura Healey announces bid for governor of MassachusettsPlay
This is the Radio Boston rundown for Jan. 20. Tiziana Dearing is our host.
- It's official: Attorney General Maura Healey is throwing her hat in the ring for Governor of Massachusetts. Healey has the trappings of a favorite at this stage, with strong campaign coffers and higher name recognition than her major opponents. But the road from AG to Governor hasn't been an easy one, historically speaking. Can Maura Healey buck this trend? We unpack all of this with WBUR Senior State House Reporter Steve Brown and Steve Harshbarger, former Attorney General in Massachusetts from 1991 to 1999, and the Democratic nominee for Governor in 1998.

WELFARE, QUALITY AND SUSTAINABILITY WITH GOOD CONSCIENCE.
AT FURBAZAAR WE DON'T PRODUCE FURS FOR STOCK OR DISCOUNT · WE ONLY MAKE FURS FOR OUR CUSTOMERS, YOU !
The fur industry is based on good animal welfare. Good animal welfare equals high quality fur. That's what made Denmark the world's leading producer of mink skins. Something we as a country is proud of. In these years, the international fur industry rolls out the most ambitious certification and animal welfare program to date. It aims to ensure high and uniform quality and animal welfare throughout the EU and provide the consumer with a seal that can create safety and security about the product.
Quality has always been one of the most important factors for us. Quality in the broadest sense of the word. Our quality concept covers not only longevity, beautiful designs, good craftsmanship and good materials. It also includes high animal welfare and sustainability in production.
Unlike the fashion industry's 'fast fashion' products, fur has a long life. For example, mink fur has an average lifespan of up to 50 years. After that, it can be remade so that an old cut is made into a present or it can be passed on to another generation. If you really want to get rid of your fur, you can dig it down into the garden. where the fur will just be broken down by nature. Fur is 'slow fashion' and a true circular natural product.
The ideological idea that animals and humans are equal beings and that humans cannot use animals for anything, is basically not a discussion for or against fur but a discussion of a far broader ideology. Without animals, humanity would still be in the Stone Age because people and animals are mutually dependent.
Although fur is probably the most sustainable material in the world, we would like to add another sustainable dimension, namely at the production stage. Therefore, we do not make furs for stock or for big sales. We only manufacture furs that are made to order. No stock and no standard sizes. We believe this is a responsible approach to a sustainable production.
All the best
