Bird watching which is also known as birding is the observation of different species of birds as a hobby or some recreational activity. There are many ways to do this; you can use your naked eye, telescope or some other instrument, or you can just enjoy the sound of birds. In most cases the sense of hearing is very important because many birds are easily recognized by their voice rather by their visual. So it’s really important to use your auditory skills well when you are birding.
Types of bird watching
Bird watching is a very ancient hobby and has been going on for hundreds of years but the term bird watching was first heard in 1891 and also bird was declared as a verb in 1918. There are these two terms which are used interchangeably first one is bird watcher and other is birder but it has been seen that many bird watchers prefer to be called birder rather than bird watcher because it doesn’t involves the auditory aspect of watching birds.
In most parts of the world birders want to be differentiated from bird watches because they feel they are superior then bird watchers when it comes to intensity and love for this hobby. But the difference is only subjective and anyone who watches birds can be called a bird watcher or a birder, it really doesn’t make much of difference. These birders describe themselves as someone who observes birds deeply by identifying every bird by their visual and by their voice; they also seem to follow the habitat, food cycle and the pattern of their migration from one place to the other. While a normal bird watcher is someone who watches bird just for the purpose of enjoying nature by seeing them from their own house or from a nearby part and they don’t seem to be interested in the kinds of birds or anything related to the birds. To differentiate these different types of people who observe birds a magazine was released which mentioned the types and how each type is different from the other.
First one is birder, this person is someone who watches birds not just for a hobby but he takes this really seriously and follow this thing like a professional who likes to learn everything there is related to birds. There is this term birding , it is defined as a hobby of enjoying the natural beauty of birds , their habitat and everything there is related to the lives of birds. At last there is this term bird watcher, this term is used for a person who observes birds for no reason or specific purpose at all and this type should not be compared with other types because they are serious about the life form of birds.
There is this term used for finding a bird and is called twitching while the previous term that was used for this was chasing but this term gained popularity and was soon accepted by everyone. Twitching is basically locating a bird you have previously seen and is rare in the nature. People seem to misuse this word and confuse it with the term birder which is a very big misunderstanding because a person who does twitching will travel long distances to see a single bird that he has seen in the past.
This term twitching was first used for the nervous behavior of Howard who was a bird watcher and was really curious about a bird that he wanted to locate. Before this term gained popularity there were other terms used for chasing some rare thing such as pot hunter, tally hunter etc. The interest of people in this is to collect the most number of bird species on his list and some even try to be the person who has the most number of species in his list. The act itself can be called a twitch or chase and a bird that stays at place long enough so that everyone can see it, can be called a bird which is chase able and people who are looking to find it can get to it more easily then a bird who is a quick mover.
When it comes to the countries where you’ll find most twitchers then UK, Sweden, Finland and all other countries where one can travel for the pursuit of a bird easily. The countries mentioned are big so it is easy to travel from one place to the other and the probability of finding that particular bird is more.
This thing encourages more people who love bird watching to do go for twitching and write that down in their list when they come across that particular bird. There have been many popular twitching events and one of them was the chasing of rare bird by more than 2500 people who went to Kent in UK to see it. These people have developed their own vocabulary for different things related to twitching, for example a person who does not succeed in finding the rare bird that he have been looking has dipped off and someone who sees it may feel gripped off. There are many other terms used by these rare bird chasers.
Most of the serious bird watchers maintain a list of birds they have seen in their life; they place it in their list by their physical description, place and the time when they saw that bird. There is an organization by the name of American birding association who has formulated some rules if someone wants to submit a specific rare bird that he has seen. Some people maintain this list by just mentioning the count of the birds they have just heard while others maintain a proper list by writing every detail there is.
History of bird watching
The interest in the beauty of birds rather then there food cycle or habitat was seen in the late 18th century. The time when this bird watching and the study birds became popular was the Victorian era in which every aspect of the birds was in study. People who were wealthy and had contacts with the people who can bring them the specific bird that they want to study used these contacts to get the specimens. Due to the increased popularity and interest of people in observing birds, in the later of 19th century some regulations were imposed for the protection of some endangered species of birds.
This term of bird watching first appeared publically through a book of Edmund by the name of “Bird watching” in 1901. At that time it was though that you can only observe a bird by shooting it but by the advent of optical instrument people started observing them just by looking through it and so as a results people were able see these birds closely without hurting them physically.
So with the start of this bird watching and because of the love of people for birds caused establishment of some organization such as Audubon society which was against the killing of birds and many other societies which were made for the protection, and preservation of certain precious birds. With the invention of car and its regular use caused increased movement of bird watchers who can now travel to new places in search of birds. As a result of increased bird watchers in UK, some networks of these people started to form so that they could get in touch if they needed to. One of such network was British Trust for ornithology, this network unlike others such Audubon society which was formed as a result of bird protection movement focused mainly on producing scientific results by getting advantage of this network. They were quite successful also in this regard, in 1940 they changed their focus and turned to habitat, ecology and other behaviors of bird life. BTO suggested organized bird watching because of the increased number of bird watchers and there movement but the RSPB declined the suggestion saying that you can’t regulate something that is a past time thing.
The increased interest of people in watching birds caused books which were written solely on the topics of birds became the best seller in that time. Just when the air travel became feasible and people started traveling long distances easily, a birding company opened in 1965 for the people interested in seeing birds of different kinds in different part of the world. These long distance travel also caused many difficulties of names because there are places where you’ll find many birds of same specie so you’ll have to come up to some new name for these new birds of the same species. The decreasing rate of air travel made it possible for people to go to remote or low populated areas and see some really rare birds.
At the start this was just a hobby and people were interested in them just for enjoying the beauty of these birds but with passage of time it has became more of a profession for many people.

After my last post featuring paper dresses, a few people told me how great it was to go to the Dollar Store for material founds. So I went back to see what else could be used for our high fashion designs. Flowers!!!!! Yes, I know they are not the best quality, but with these, you will not feel too intimidated to take them apart to make clothes. The trick in using them in your designs is to.....KEEP IT SIMPLE!!!
|Rose petal camisole|
What you want is a dress that could, conceivably, appear at a party, on the street or on the red carpet. But let me warn you....you will be tempted to go crazy. Resist. Remember, it's a garment, not a costume! One more tip before we get started. You will not be able to use fabric glue for this project because the glue will show through. Use very tiny stitches, sliding the needle in between the petals and the foundation so as to minimalize the appearance on the wrong side of the garment.
Let's start with the opening photo. I used pink silk roses. Remove them from the stem and remove the plastic stamens. What you will have are just the petals. For our top, I began with the 1-piece camisole cut from pale pink satin. I place the first flatten set of petals, then layer on others. Pin them in place while the doll is still in the camisole. Place pins where you want the stitches to hold down the petals. When you have completed it, remove from the doll and hand stitch the petals in place. My doll is wearing this top over a matching silk satin sarong skirt.
The skirt is the focal point of the next look. Again, you must remove the plastic stamen. For my foundation, I've used the 1-piece skirt pattern. The flowers are folded in half then attached to the skirt both in the front and back. You decide how much flare is desired. My "Tango" skirt has lots of flare. After pinning to the skirt, the flowers are hand stitched in place. The top is quite simple. I wanted something to mimic the veins of the flowers. So I took a small rectangle of silk, wet it thoroughly, then twisted it into ball. I set this out to dry, then carefully unraveled it. The crinkles adhere to the form of the doll and need no hemming. I've attached a bit of ribbon to each end at the back. A single snap holds the top in place.
|Use crinkled silk for a simple, but spectacular top.|
I wanted something less elaborate for the chrysanthemum skirt. It begins with a straight 1-piece skirt in a contrasting color. When I pulled out the plastic stamen from the middle of the flower, I held the layers together with a pin, then later tacked only the petals down I wanted to stay in place. Here, I've teamed the skirt with the wrap around blouse and a coat (using the straight jacket pattern) made from red felt (found in craft stores).
And then there is the carnation dress. My intention was to do a skirt. The skirt I used is a simple A-lined flared skirt. But while deliberating on which top to do, I decided to do an entire dress. Thus, my dress began with the skirt. I folded the petals in half and added them onto the skirt. After I finished. I took a petal, flattened it (in the same manner as the top shown above), and began to layer more petals over, pinning everything in place. I made sure the doll was completely covered and that you can not see the skirt base beneath, however, it is probably more sensible to add a 1-piece camisole before beginning the top half so that you have something to stitch your layers to.
|The Chrysanthemum dress.|
Needless to say, the possibilities are limitless !!!!

Through my years as a teacher and parent coach I have noticed that preteens and teens have the potential to revert back to toddler hood. These future adults tend to become ego centric, much like they were when they were toddlers. They seem to be unable/unwilling to think beyond themselves. This can be just a phase, but it can be an unpleasant one.
In an effort to thwart this reverting and at least offer my children an opportunity to think beyond themselves, I required both of my children to participate in some sort of community service when they entered middle school. We treated it much like enrolling in a sport:
Select. Commit. Participate.
They got to select what type of community service they would like to do. They committed to the volunteer work. And they participated on a scheduled basis.
My daughter chose to go once a week to an assisted living facility and help the residents play BINGO. She set up, cleaned up, and helped the residents however needed. She even knocked on doors and invited residents to come play BINGO. My son committed to collecting discarded bikes, repairing them, and then donating them to families in need. He set a goal of the number of bikes he would donate per month and actually kept a tally chart in his room.
True, my children were involved in these community service activities because I encouraged them in that direction, but by selecting the activities themselves they became more invested. It provided the opportunity to think beyond their own needs.
Providing an opportunity for preteens an teens to think beyond themselves (on a regular basis) might just be the encouragement they need to move beyond toddler hood.

Personally, I find it funny that the B'rel-R got made into a Fleet variant.. making all the other Fleet Varients pretty much even more Obsolete. Why bother with any of the other BoPs when you can just wait to Tier 5 (Or find a KDF fleet at Tier 5) And get one that way.
You think that your beta test was bad?
Think about this: American Football has been in open beta for 144 years. ~Kotaku
There is a bait and switch feel to it... as folks hit T5 Fleets; T6 gameplay will have arrived.
Now some might say Cryptic wouldn't do anything like that to their customers... and I might ask in return if this was their first day playing.
Oh yeah, buy advanced heavy cruiser!, buy advanced heavy cruiser retrofit!, buy fleet advanced heavy cruiser retrofit! buy advanced fleet advanced heavy cruiserretrofit! and finally buy elite fleet advanced heavy cruiser retrofit! Let the cow be milked eternally!
5 fleet ship modules makes more sense as a price. People will buy the C-Store ship and get the one FSM. Same price, slightly more value.
4 eng consoles for the B'rel just makes sense, its shields are down often. Giving it offensive consoles (sci or tac9 would have made it OP, probably. My first guess for a good setup would be one Emergency Force fields, 3 Neutronium.
They use the Imperial Skin for the Fleet Regent. Which is a nice use of that one.
4 tac console makes the fleet Regent a good tactical cruiser for an offensive role. The baseline Regent is acceptable already with 3.
Fleet Varanus with a 3rd tactical console makes sense for torpedo boat builds... and it is understandable that the Gorn, being forced into this direct-damage-oriented KDF, slowly adapt their builds to the Klingon line of thinking.
Promote what you love, instead of bashing what you hate. https://youtu.be/VrJiU9BOEBI?t=53
The two most famous b'rels were science heavy for sure imo. The first one went on the genisis investigation, and the second one managed the the scientifically ridiculous feat of firing while cloaked. Give it a fourth sci console for all the neglected Klink sci's and maybe the shields to last till you can recloak.
On the plus side, you could also use the new console to do what I do, and give as much power to whatever subsystem you think needs it. Why not do your alpha strikes with near-constant 125 weapons energy, or strengthen your sci abilities with more aux power.
Also buff that sov hp a bit.
The Somraw, K'tinga, D'Kyr, D7, Kumari, Xindi carrier, Xindi escort, and the T'Varo are all older than the Constitution Refit and yet they are tier 5. The Constellation is made up primarily of Connie refit parts and it is tier 5, there is no logical reason whatsoever for the no tier 5/6 connie rule.
I dont see really the problem with the 4th engineering console for the B'rel
In my opinion it makes a cloaked torpedo/mine dropping build even better because its more durable with an additional neutronium alloy.
Imagine this boff setup with the dual AtoB. I stay cloaked all the time, and don't even need shields. 4x neutronium alloys and HE2 cycling with PH3....
LtCmdr tac: Whatever you like
Lt eng: EptA1, AtoB1
Lt Eng: EptS1/ET1, AtoB1
Cmdr sci: Blabla, HE2, PH3, main sci ability (VM?)
The with diminishing returns max hull resists isn't so high that you couldn't run your torp/mine build with 3 eng consoles and basically have the same hull resists as running 4. Assuming you're running things like a mix of he, aux2sif, ph, apd, aux2damp etc you'll have high hull resists. You also would have the option of Hazzard doffs.
You're also forgetting the main defensive benefit of running EBC, when you're exposed and uncloaked from using some Boff powers or weapons you maintain your cloak defense bonus.
In the end Tac would be better for that build since it boosts your mine/torp damage.
Imo, 4th Sci would most likely make your build better as well; since, even if your build doesn't have a Sci skill which could benefit you could always boost your shield buffer and/or even use add in utility console like a biomonitor to keep your crew levels up, or power insulators, or intertial damps, etc.
Also, with the lack of real decent Sci options for KDF a 4 Sci console B'rel would have helped fill that void nicely. This was the worst possible console addition option for the B'rel. I'd have rather they gave the 16k hull ship an EBC and called it the B'rel upgrade tbh.

The strengths of unflavored collagen
If you choose the right collagen powder from the start, you won't need any artificial flavors or sweeteners to help you get it down. Oftentimes, when brands don't source their collagen from clean sources (such as using farmed fish over wild-caught fish) it does have a slight odor and unpleasant taste. Their solution? Dump in some artificial sweeteners to cover it up! Now of course this isn't always the case and there are some strengths to having a sweeter and more flavorful supplement, but it's hard to discern the difference. Whether your collagen is a flavor explosion or a plain jane, it's extremely important to make sure it is noted as non-gmo, properly tested, and free of preservatives. These are the areas you will definitely want to keep it clean!
In a sense, unflavored collagen has nothing to hide. In fact, marine collagen is extremely soluble in hot drinks like coffee or mixed into smoothies, oatmeal, bone broth soups, and even scrambled eggs! One of its strongest features is its versatility and ability to fit your diet and food preferences. Choosing unflavored also ensures that it contains no refined or added sugars, making it a popular choice for keto, diabetic, and paleo diets.
What's right for me?
If you're constantly on the go and need a protein powder that you can squeeze in just before hitting the gym, then flavored might be the best choice for you. If you’re a purist or plan on using collagen in more than just your almond milk latte, then we recommend unflavored collagen powder. Unflavored collagen simply has more versatility and can become a pantry staple for home cooks and health fanatics without sacrificing flavor. Additionally, it is generally the cleaner, simpler route to go and makes it easier for people who are just beginning to use collagen to add to their favorite dishes throughout the day.
Amandean's unflavored marine collagen powder is sourced from wild-caught cod in the pristine waters of the North Atlantic. It even comes in individual stick packs for on the go nutrition! It's GMO-free, gluten-free, and fat-free, making it an easy addition to whatever diet plan you follow, even pescatarian. Smoothies, coffee, and tea is a breeze. Want a decadent chocolate hummus shake? Collagen can do that! Pudding with coconut milk, tapioca, and 40 grams of collagen? You got it. It can even do comfort food, with dishes like banana bread and quiche.

The Department of Fashion at Chitkara Design School, Chitkara University, has launched a sustainable initiative “Pledge”, which aims to inspire positive change and cultivate a new generation of fashion revolutionaries. This interdisciplinary awareness event has been designed to advocate for responsible consumption practices within Chitkara University. It aims to bring about a change through a variety of events, collaborations, and educational programs.
PLEDGE raising fashion revolutionaries at Chitkara University
Realizing the harm done to the environment due to fast fashion, students from the Fashion Department at Chitkara University led a campaign named “Swap Don’t Shop” wherein they collected garments. The term ‘fast fashion’ refers to a large sector of the fashion industry whose business model relies on cheap and speedy production of low quality clothing, which gets pumped quickly through stores in order to meet the latest and newest trends. This is dangerous for the planet and leads to a lot of pollution. The “Swap Don’t Shop” event encouraged the participants to exchange or donate clothing items that have been worn less, fostering a culture of reuse within the community. By collecting the garments from fellow community members, this initiative promoted a more sustainable approach to Fashion Consumption and also helped them understand about the effects of fast fashion.
Lauding the event, Dr. Madhu Chitkara, Pro Chancellor, Chitkara University, said, “The vision of “PLEDGE” is to redefine fashion by placing sustainability at its core. This initiative recognizes that a more inclusive and creative approach with collaborative efforts and commitment can lead to sustainable fashion and responsible consumption. Through events like these, we hope to encourage individuals to make mindful choices and contribute to a more sustainable and ethical world.”
The initiative, “Pledge” engaged industry designers of repute, including Nida Mahmood and Shruti Singh of Fashion Revolution India – a team which aspires for a sustainable fashion industry. The duo shared their insights, discussed the challenges and triumphs associated with sustainable fashion.
On the occasion, Nida Mahmood said, “India is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of textile and apparel providing employment to around 45 million people. We are also one of the largest consumer markets in the world. As such, our voices are bound to have a huge influence on the fashion industry in terms of the ethical treatment of supply chain workers and a cleaner and safer manufacturing process. Hence, it is pertinent for the students and people to know its effects.”
A workshop was also organized by Shubhi Sachan from the Material Library of India – which is focused on remodelling the use of industrial & agricultural waste materials by combining the knowledge and skills of traditional crafts with modern materials. During the workshop, Sachan talked about the Material Literacy and sustainability, which provided valuable guidance on how to incorporate eco-friendly choices into the daily lives.
The event was marked by a Grand Fashion Show organized in collaboration with the Office of Student Affairs, Chitkara University. The students from the Fashion Department took charge of curating and styling looks from the collected garments, showcasing their creativity. Furthermore, the PANACHE group contributed to the event with choreography and modeling, adding a dynamic and artistic dimension to the showcase.

2. It Made Us Take A Hard Look At Death
Six Feet Under was really the first of its kind. It was Alan Balls response to our culture of burying grief and pulling people behind a curtain at funerals when the smallest sign of emotion came through (The American funeral: Grief is bad, composure is good). Through the 63 episodes, we get to meditate on life and death in a way that no other show has been able to capture. Because the Fishers live and work at a funeral home, death was always present. Each episode began with a death that usually connected to the family or story line in some fashion (most of the time the funeral for the dead was held at their home). In a magical realism married with internal consciousness, we see the Fishers talk with the dead (Ball has stated that they are not ghosts, just the characters projecting internal struggles for us). At its best, the story line was connected so much deeper than that. Sometimes it was crystal clear, like Davids struggle to accept himself as a gay man while communicating (in his head) with a gay victim of a hate crime, serving as the devil on his shoulder, bloody and bruised, he told David how the world was against him. Sometimes, a bit more subtly, when Nate learns of a brain condition he has and mounts his frustration on a vision of the high school football player who died of heat exhaustion, Why the hell not you? he yells, alone in the basement, Did you think you were immune to this?

Northgate’s CompUSA store has closed
Northgate Mall’s CompUSA computer and electronics store has closed, creating an approximately 20,000-square-foot vacancy in the independently owned mall.
Allison Savicz, a spokeswoman for Northgate, said the store had been in the mall for about five years. The store closed in late February, she said.
Kidcycle, a children’s consignment store, will temporarily open in the space in April, Savicz said. The store is expected to occupy the space into May.
Virginia Rand Bowman, managing general partner of Northgate Associates, which owns Northgate Mall, said in an email that CompUSA is consolidating the Durham store with a location in Raleigh.
“Like other categories such as office supplies and books, many people find it more convenient to order online than going to a store,” she said.
Attempts to reach officials at Systemax, the publicly traded company that acquired CompUSA in 2008, were unsuccessful Monday.
In September of last year, Systemax announced a plan to consolidate its U.S. consumer operations under the TigerDirect brand, its largest brand.
The company, which sells technology products such as computers, computer supplies, and consumer products as well as industrial products, had also purchased CircuitCity assets in 2009, and operated it as an online-only business.
As a result of the consolidation of the company’s U.S. consumer operations, the company expected to record one-time, non-cash impairment charges of $34 million related to intangible assets of CompUSA and Circuit City in the fourth quarter. The results from its fourth quarter are expected to be released today.
Bowman said centers across the country are seeing retail store closures.
“While we never like to see a store close, there are usually good reasons for it,” she said in the email. “We see it as an opportunity to continue to change the tenant mix by adding new stores to be more in tune with the current trends in the market.”
Closures at Northgate have included Northgate Books and the mall’s Lane Bryant location, which had been at the mall since 1990. Lane Bryant, is owned by the Ascena Retail Group, which also operates stores under the Dressbarn and other brands.
Bowman said that in addition to the Lane Bryant closure this year, Lane Bryant stores also closed in malls in Greensboro and in Winston-Salem.
The mall also saw the consolidation last year of its Dressbarn and Dressbarn Woman clothing stores into a single space that previously housed the women’s clothing and accessories store Talbots. Talbots had been a tenant of Northgate’s since 1994, and closed at the mall in August 2011.
“Dressbarn had wanted a combo store at Northgate for 10 years,” Bowman said. “We were finally able to find them the right location to make the move. Talbots continues to have problems chain-wide.”
Early last year, the mall also saw a long-term national tenant, Chick-fil-A, close. The national restaurant chain had been a tenant since 1974. A spokeswoman for the company said Chick-fil-A is focusing on freestanding locations with drive-throughs.
Andrew Jenkins, a managing partner at the Charlotte office of the real estate research firm Karnes, said in an email that Northgate’s vacancy rate was 3.7 percent at the end of 2012, but he said that doesn’t include several more recent vacancies.
The average vacancy among Triangle regional centers was 2.3 percent at the end of the year, Jenkins said.
Northgate is a “fairly small” regional mall with fewer anchor tenants compared to shopping centers such as Crabtree Valley Mall, Cary Towne Center, Triangle Town Center and The Streets at Southpoint, he said
“That will, of course, be a challenge as anchor tenants, by definition, help to increase the foot traffic at malls,” he said.
Jenkins said he believes the mall will continue to face pressure from newer centers throughout the region.
Bowman said competition comes from multiple sources, including Target, Walgreens and other stores. She said the trade area has been “over stored” since 2002.
“Name one shopping center in the Triangle area that has not had some turnover, and is 100 percent occupied,” she said.
Jesse Tron, a spokesman for New York-based International Council of Shopping Centers, said that according to data from the National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries, regional malls across the country were about 92 percent occupied at the end of the fourth quarter of 2012.
Tron said there is competition among shopping centers of different formats as well as from the Internet. He said malls are looking to be more than “just another channel for distribution of goods,” offering services not available online such as hair salons, massage studios or interactive pottery studios.
Tron added that it was more prevalent to see independent businesses opening up in malls during the recession. He said there’s still some of that happening, and more so at regional malls than at super-regional malls larger than 800,000 square feet.
“For a lot of centers, they’re going to be looking for those nationals, they’re able to pay higher rent,” Tron said.
Bowman said in the email that Northgate Mall has more independently owned stores than most regional because it’s is locally owned and operated, and likes to support local business owners.
“We believe they add much-needed diversity to the tenant mix,” she said.
Bowman said Northgate has had lots of potential tenants looking at the mall’s available space. She said they’ve had more prospects in the first two months of 2013 than in the first quarter of last year.

A Reborn Forma Therapeutics Focuses on Rare Blood Diseases and Cancer
March 20, 2020
Forma Therapeutics had long been a platform-based drug company that used high-throughput screening to discover new drugs that would be developed by partners. After many years, Forma began transitioning to become a fully integrated therapeutics company focused on rare blood disorders and cancer. It brought in Frank Lee, who had been a senior vice president of global product strategy at Genentech, as CEO to help execute the company’s new plan. We spoke to Lee about why he joined Forma, the company’s program in sickle cell disease, and his vision Forma as a company that develops and commercializes its own medicines.

During this time, style tribes also emerged into society. Following this trend, were the infamous hippies. The hippies were also another reason for the “natural look” (Welters, 2008). This subgroup rejected the use of artificial products and plastic. Again, they preferred to stick with nature and embraced “natural” which lead into their lifestyle. Hippies were also known for their support for human rights and equality. They supported Blacks, American Indians, university students and were anti-war. The Hippies were among the first youth generations that were known for choosing against mainstream and being different from their parents’ generations. They followed their own trends and followed their beliefs.
One fashion trend they were known for were jeans. During this time, jeans represents the young adults’ rebellious lifestyle. They wore them to symbolize their individualistic beliefs.

car “clunks” at times when shifting at very low speeds
Looking at a couple of Cadillac forums it appears to be a common problem, to the extent that some owners accept it as “normal.” That said, check the transmission fluid if possible. (I don’t know if your SRX has a transmission dipstick or not.) A broken engine or transmission mount could also account for the noise. There might also be a reprogramming procedure needed, a dealer would know. Good luck.

Mexico’s industrial production drops 29.63% during May
MEXICO – Industrial production in Mexico fell 29.63% at an annual rate during May, the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi) reported this Friday.

According to the statement, the sharp decline in IMAI was a result of the decrease registered by the manufacturing and construction sectors.
The construction industry fell 35.87% at the annual rate in the fifth month of the year, its second consecutive month to fall to double digits. It has also accumulated 22 months in a row in negative territory, based on Inegi data.
On the other hand, manufacturing industries dropped 35.56% in April, their second worst decline since 1993.
All manufacturing industries reported ‘red numbers’, among which the yearly contraction of 85.7% in the manufacture of transport equipment stood out.
Industries regarding the generation, transmission and distribution of electrical energy, water supply and gas decreased 12.92% at an annual rate, its most severe drop 1993.

Legislature Passes First No Strings Attached Law
Today, the Vermont legislature passed the first no strings attached law to require labeling of genetically engineered (GE) foods. The House voted 114-30 to accept the Senate version of the bill passed last week. It now heads to Governor Shumlin, who is expected to sign the bill. The law would go into effect July 1, 2016.
"This is an historic day for the people's right to know. It is now very clear that federal labeling of genetically engineered foods is going to happen in the foreseeable future," said Andrew Kimbrell, executive director for Center for Food Safety (CFS).
“The people and legislators of Vermont have taken a tremendous step forward in allowing their citizens to know what is in their food. All families deserve this simple right to know,” said Rebecca Spector, who heads state labeling efforts at Center for Food Safety. “We congratulate all of the activists and lawmakers in Vermont who made this victory possible.”
“Should the industry try to challenge this law, Center for Food Safety will be there to help defend it and we are confident that it would survive any such challenge," added Kimbrell.
Center for Food Safety helped draft the legislation in consultation with state representatives. CFS has been at the center of the fight to inform consumers about GE foods for over a decade. CFS has worked with Vermont legislators and organizations on GE food labeling since 2005, providing legal testimony, resources, and expert advice.
Unlike other state labeling laws, the Vermont labeling bill (H. 112) is the first bill that will go into effect regardless of actions by other states. Previous GE labeling bills in Connecticut and Maine have required that a certain number of states enact similar legislation before they would take effect.
Once signed into law, Vermont’s mandatory labeling policy will likely set the stage for more states to introduce and adopt no strings attached labeling laws.
The findings of the bill state that “Because both the FDA and the U.S. Congress do not require the labeling of food produced with genetic engineering, the State should require food produced with genetic engineering to be labeled as such in order to serve the interests of the State.”
The bill also states, “In addition to requiring that foods produced using genetic engineering be labeled, the bill also mandates that GE foods cannot be labeled as "natural," or any words of similar import that would have a tendency to mislead a consumer.
Sixty-four nations including China, South Africa, and all countries in the European Union currently require GE foods to be labeled. Representative Peter DeFazio (D-OR) and Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) recently introduced federal legislation that would require nationwide labeling of GE products. That bill has 65 cosponsors.

ANAHEIM — The Anaheim Ducks have given the reins back to Jonas Hiller.
Having started every game on the bench in the first round, the embattled goaltender is back in the crease against the Los Angeles Kings in the second.
Hiller got the call again in Game 2 on Monday, after making 33 saves in an overtime loss Saturday.
“I felt pretty good, but at the end, it’s still disappointing if you lose,” Hiller said prior to Game 2. “You still want to have one or two back, but I thought it was a pretty solid game, especially for the fact that I haven’t played in quite a while or haven’t started for quite a while.
“I thought we didn’t give up too many good scoring chances. The only ones we gave up were the ones they scored on, which was too bad. Outside of that, I thought we played real well in our own end.”
As the Ducks’ starter for most of the season, Hiller picked an inopportune time to go into a slump. He struggled toward the end of the year and lost his starting job to rookie Frederik Andersen, who got the call in the first round.
But, when Andersen struggled, getting pulled twice in the series against the Dallas Stars, it opened the door for Hiller, who’s made the most of the opportunity.
“He played two good games against Dallas,” said Ducks head coach Bruce Boudreau. “He’s been our No. 1 goalie all along, so when he starts playing good, you go back to him.”
Hiller did all he could in the opening game of the series and was seven seconds away from collecting a win in his first start in nearly a month.
However, Marian Gaborik scored with seven seconds left in regulation, then netted the overtime winner to give the Kings the victory and the upper hand going into Monday’s game.
Stationed in front of the net late in Game 1, Gaborik swatted a puck past Hiller as time was winding down.
“I think at the end, it was just a bad bounce,” Hiller said. “It got knocked up in the air and somebody bats it out of the air. I think it hit his shaft and somehow it went in. I think we had a chance to get the puck out before that, but it’s one of those things that sometimes cost you.”
The nature of the defeat did upset the Ducks, but the team had put it behind them heading into Game 2.
“I didn’t think the guys were too worried about it, you’re always going to lose games in the playoffs, you can’t expect to win them all,” Hiller said. “I thought we definitely took the positives from that game. I think everyone wanted to be back on the ice and play again as soon as possible, because we thought we deserved better the way we played.”
In order to beat the Kings in the series, Hiller doesn’t necessarily have to out-play Jonathan Quick at the other end, but he does need to make timely saves for his team and avoid giving up a bad goal.
Those are the things Hiller struggle with towards the end of the regular season.
“We have tons of confidence in Jonas,” said Ducks defenceman Cam Fowler. “We know what he can do, and when he’s on his game, he’s one of the best in the world. The biggest thing with us is we have confidence in whoever plays. Both guys have proven themselves and so that’s up to Bruce to make that decision.
“Jonas did a great job for us and put us in a position to win the first game. We had a couple of breakdowns and that’s why we lost. But we have a lot of confidence in him and we just have to do a better job in front of him going forward.”
WINNING SPECIAL TEAMS
The Los Angeles Kings were able to get out of jail in more than one sense Saturday against the Anaheim Ducks.
Apart from scoring with seven seconds left in regulation to send the game into overtime, the Kings were also able to kill off four Ducks power plays in the contest.
Having scored on one of their power play opportunities, winning the special teams battle proved to be the difference in the game.
“I hope we see less of it (penalty kill),” said Kings head coach Darryl Sutter, prior to Game 2. “Both teams had seven, eight minutes in power plays and I think you’re still trying to get into three power plays (against) during the game. That’s the benchmark. When you start pushing into the four, or they’re a team that likes to play a lot of four on four hockey, they try and draw you in and you have to try and stay away from it.”
The Kings’ penalty-killing unit has been a reason for their success so far in the playoffs.
They went into Monday’s game with the third-best penalty kill in the playoffs, functioning at an 88.9% efficiency.
They have given up just one power play goal since dropping the first three games of their opening-round series against the San Jose Sharks.
En route to five consecutive wins, the Kings have killed 22 of their last 23 three penalties.
“The thing with their kill is that they’re so aggressive, they don’t give you much time to make plays,” said Ducks defenceman Cam Fowler. “If you do get it set up in their zone, you’re not going to have the amount of time that you think you’re going to have on a power play to make a play. We need support all over the ice and really close to the puck. If we can do that, we should be able to break their pressure and try and get more scoring chances.”

The DNC Says The Democrats Own The Economy
DNC chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz uttered four words that will come back to haunt her in the future – “Democrats own the economy.” The DNC chairwoman said, “Democrats are ready to take responsibility for the state of the economy and they deserve credit for putting it on the right track...We own the economy. We own the beginning of the turnaround and we want to make sure that we continue that pace of recovery, not go back to the policies of the past under the Bush administration that put us in the ditch in the first place.”
Schultz costly gaffe was made as America enters into the 2012 election season. She says this when unemployment is at 9.1 percent and the majority of Americans rate the economy negatively. She has linked Obama and the economy right at the hip! This is a major gaff and it’s gonna come back to haunt her.

A TV news channel in Argentina has been slammed for announcing the arrival of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the G20 summit with a graphic that showed the character Apu from The Simpsons.
Alongside a video of Modi’s plane touching down in Buenos Aires for the conference, Cronic TV displayed an image of the convenience store owner, along with a headline “Llego Apu”, which roughly translates to “Apu arrived”.
— Patrick Gillespie (@Pat_Gillespie) November 29, 2018
Social media users reacted with dismay to the image, including comedian Hari Kondabolu, who made a documentary abut how the character of Apu is founded on racial stereotypes. “This can’t be true, right?” he said on Twitter earlier today.
BBC News correspondent Rajini Vaidyanathan called the image “astonishing, ridiculous and racist”, while others criticised the news station for being disrespectful to a foreign leader and perpetuating stereotypes.
Narendra Modi was not the only world leader to get an awkward reception at the G20. US President Donald Trump quizzed Australian PM Scott Morrison on the absence of his predecessor Malcolm Turnbull.
Morrison explained how our (frequent) leadership spills work, and it’s understood that the two spent much of their 25-minute talk discussing strategic matters in the Pacific.


Fincantieri delivers second Qatari corvette
Fincantieri on 28 April announced the delivery of the second Al Zubarah-class corvette for Qatar during a ceremony at its Muggiano plant.
Damsah is the second of four Al Zubarah-class ships made by the Italian shipbuilder for the Qatari Emiri Naval Forces (QENF).
The corvette class measures 107m long and features CODAD propulsion capable of propelling each ship up to a maximum speed of 28kt.
Fincantieri delivered the first-in-class corvette (Al Zubarah) in October 2021. The delivery of the two remaining vessels to the QENF is expected to be completed by 2023.
The corvettes can deploy a rigid hull inflatable boat via a side crane and stern ramp and boast a hangar to accommodate an NH90-sized helicopter.

There were no signs of old injuries due to abuse found on the body of the autistic boy Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matiin, according to Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan.
He, therefore, refuted claims by some parties that Zayn Rayyan was a victim of abuse.
“No signs of abuse were found on the victim’s body. His parents had taken good care of him. Speculations that he was abused are incorrect. The public is advised not to make baseless statements that could disrupt the police investigation and the family’s sensitivity,” Hussein told reporters when met at Apartment Idaman.
Hussein added that 50 police personnel are involved in the task force set up to investigate the case.
While acknowledging that the police currently have very limited information for the investigation, Hussein said the police will do their best until the perpetrator of the case is apprehended.
“So far, we have recorded some statements and have sent some evidence to the Chemistry Department. The fingerprint results and the results of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) testing will be obtained in the next two to three days,” he said.
Furthermore, Hussein said that they would expand the radius of the investigation area along the stream where the unfortunate child was found.
He also said that they have flown drones in the area this afternoon to map and identify potential rat routes that could be used to enter and exit the area.
“The police are also gathering information on this case from house to house. There are 18 blocks in this apartment complex, housing 2,484 units, and so far, we have completed interviews with residents in three blocks, and it will be continued until all are completed,” he said.
When asked if the police would use the database of child sexual offenders developed by the Women, Family, and Community Development Ministry in the investigation, Hussein said that they are collaborating with the police’s database to identify suspects.
This morning, more investigators and officers believed to be from the Forensics Unit as well as IPK Selangor and Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department gathered at the scene where the boy’s remains were found on Wednesday night.
Officers and personnel were seen combing the site again for any possible clues or signs which could help in the ongoing investigation.
The search has been expanded from the initial scene to along the waterway.
Forensic officers were also seen installing lights. There are only four CCTV cameras in the area, with none near where the body was found.
Where children used to scurry about, laugh, play and fish, there was only quiet.
A resident who took part in the search said parents had stopped their children from playing outside and kept them home after news broke of the murder.
He said his elderly mother had also started scolding children, telling them to go home quickly.
“Before, the children would be playing all over, especially at the bridge where they would go fishing,” he said.
Yesterday, police officers were the only ones there, busy taking note of parked cars with dashcams.
Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Mohamad Fakhrudin Abdul Hamid, who was at the scene, said the police have met the parents for a second time to get additional information.
Others who called in included the person who had found the body.
“Our focus is to find statements that could assist us in identifying a suspect,” he said, adding that police would continue the search here until they could find any positive leads.
“It’s not just people who stay here who know the area. Those who had previously rented here would know it well too,” he added.
The boy’s neighbours and his school administrators will also be interviewed to aid in the investigation.
Nor Haizam Hidir, a representative of the apartment joint management body, said no CCTVs were installed around the apartment blocks. The four that have been installed are located at the entrance, exit, the walkway of Block J, and near the surau.
“However, there are residents who have installed their own CCTVs,” he said, adding that the area where the body was found was outside the jurisdiction of the management.
He did not know if it was government or privately owned land.
“If there are children playing there, maybe only those in Block R would know,” he said.

There's been so much talk about Belle's yellow dress lately. Did you love the movie version? I did! And I tried to capture some of those elements in the new Belle Of The Ball Fascinator. It's been said before, but the yellow dress is so iconic. No other Disney Princess appears in yellow, it's Belle through and through! The centerpiece of this look is a strapless, yet regal dress in silk organza. Swoon! And the accessories are gold, gold, more gold and roses. I love the shoes and the replica necklace, but the book handbag is to die for. How could you not feel like royalty in an outfit like this?
You can't say "Be Our Guest" without getting the song stuck in your head, it's the biggest number in the whole show so it really needed it's own Dapper Day look. Confession: this entire look was inspired by the Japanese flatware print fabric that I've been hoarding for forever! I've been waiting for the perfect excuse to use it on a hat and here it is! I love it. Gold, filigree and dainty accessories harken to an enchanted royal dining room with delicate china and ornate furnishings. And what about those shoes?!? A little out of my price range at $2,300, but a girl can dream.
Almost as iconic as the yellow dress is Belle's blue ensemble or "Little Town" look. I love how this costume in the movie went through multiple changes with different additions, but still remained true to the simple blue frock. Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute says blue is the color of heroines and I think she is right! This look adds a sophisticated touch with the strength of our heroine's workaday ensemble. The fascinator uses delicate floral organza, but also the bakers twine we see lacing Belle's stays in the film. And you can't have our heroine without a book, hence the amazing novelty handbag that could blend right in on the Beast's library shelves!
Our last Beauty And The Beast look isn't necessarily Dapper Day inspired, but is more casual and cute for every day wear. The FascinEar ™ goes perfectly with the floral denim dress and I couldn't resist including this great book-shaped bag from Target! It is sold out in most stores, but here's a tip if you are on the look out for one. Check online for your local stores to see if they have any in stock. If they do, you can pay for it online and pick it up in-store. It definitely beats driving all over town!
If you're attending Spring Dapper Day in Hat and Mouse or creating your own Beauty And The Beast looks with hats from our new collection be sure to tag #hatandmouse on your social media. I love seeing your style!
Cheers and Happy Hatting!


Mike Trout had not recorded a hit with a runner in scoring position all month. Johnny Giavotella had not notched an extra-base hit. The Angels had not scored more than seven runs.
They did all of them Tuesday night, in their best offensive performance of 2016, a 9-4 win over Kansas City at Angel Stadium in which they reached base 19 times.
“We pressured them, we set the table, and we got big hits with runners in scoring position,” Manager Mike Scioscia said. “Those are all good indicators.”

May is Mental Health Month 2017!
Mental Health America will tie this year’s Mental Health Month theme to the content of its 2017 Annual Conference: Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll. The MHM campaign is titled Risky Business, and will educate the public on habits and behaviors that increase the risk of developing or exacerbating mental illnesses, or could be signs of mental health problems themselves. These include such diverse risk factors such as risky sex, prescription drug misuse, internet/gaming addiction, excessive spending, marijuana use, and troublesome exercise patterns.
The intent behind this theme is to raise awareness of the risks that these types of behaviors present—especially to young people—to help individuals detect these early warning signs, and to provide resources for prevention and early intervention.

Petition to my U.S. Representative and Senators
Whereas: The evidence that has emerged since the outbreak of Covid proved that the Biden administration never “followed the science,” but was acting in its own political self-interest; and
Whereas: Lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and mask mandates did nothing to stop the spread of Covid; and
Whereas: The pain and suffering caused to every American by these reckless policies was unconscionable; and
Whereas: Congress has an obligation to restore the constitutional order and PROHIBIT the White House from having sole authority to radically infringe on the civil liberties of Americans, especially to impose policies that have already been proven to have been disastrous;
Therefore: I demand you stand up for American sovereignty and the natural rights of American citizens and PROHIBIT the Biden administration from imposing any new so-called “emergency” orders, whether on vaccines, masks, or lockdowns.

The Biden administration’s plan to roll out COVID-19 boosters by Sept. 20 could get pushed back – pending the outcome of an FDA advisory committee meeting and how quickly the FDA acts on the adcom’s recommendation.

Christmas office parties are a pretty common occurrence that happens in the corporate world, where employees and employers both get together to celebrate the holiday festivities before the year ends. There’s food, drink, and a lot of fun and games to get everyone in the holiday spirit. I mean, that’s the idea at least.
But you know what gets employees in the holiday spirit? There’s one thing, and one thing only: Christmas bonuses.
For one company in the United States, Christmas came super early this year because during their annual Christmas party, their boss did the unthinkable; he gave over 200 employees Christmas bonuses that total up to $10.5 MILLION (RM43.6 million) according to The Sun!
In an extremely heartwarming gesture that none of the employees would have predicted, the founder of their company, St John Properties, surprised over 200 of them who managed to help hit a milestone for the company in developing 20 million square feet of office, retail and warehouse space.
That is, $50,000 (RM207,725.00) PER PERSON in bonuses.
The company, which is worth over $3.5 billion (RM14.5 billion), was founded by 81-year-old Edward St. John in 1971. Of course, employees who attended the party had no clue that they were going to receive the bonuses, and many were seen breaking down emotionally after receiving their envelopes.
The amounts received depended on the time each employee served in the company, but a majority of them will receive the full $50,000. Many were seen gasping and crying in disbelief as they opened their envelopes.
“I am thankful for every one of our employees, for their hard work and dedication. I couldn’t think of a better way to show it.”
“I may steer the boat, but they’re the ones that run the boat.
“They are the ones that make the boat go. Without the team, we are nothing.”, said Edward.
He also mentioned that if it were not for the efforts of his team, their growth to their current size would not have been possible. As such, he wanted to thank them all for the work they put into their work. How kind!
Honestly, we have to say that we’re jealous of these employees for having such a kind, generous boss!

Charlie - a good example of why they say a picture is worth 1,000 words. I can picture what you are describing, in general terms though. Your first description sounded, to me, like a good description of a metal-cap bullet, which was used in .32 auto. I guess I leaped upon the words concerning the exposed core, and thought you were referring to it being exposed above the case mouth, which cores of Metal Cap bullets often are, as opposed to full-metal jacket bullets, which are not. It did not sound like a “normal” bullet - that is, a FMJ bullet with the jacket going down into the case to the very base of the bullet. From there, the treatment of the base, or bottom, of the bullet varies greatly from factory to factory. On some bullets, the jack goes to the bottom of the base but does not fold over the edges of the core. On others, it does fold over the edges. Some had flat bases and some have concave bases.
It sounds to me like you have pulled the bullet out of one of the rounds, at least. Your first description, again to me, sounded like you were describing the bullet still completely seated in the case making a normal OAL loaded cartridge.
If it as I think I gather now, that the jacket goes clear down to the bottom of the bullet (the base), then I apologize to Vince for challenging his assertion that you were describing a normal .32 auto bullet, although I still hold to the fact that there are many, many different “standard/normal” bullets for the .32 auto, just as there are for many calibers of ammunition.
To answer your question adequately would require pictures of what you have, and maybe require the pulling of bullets out of dozens of specimens to see who did what. Someone else would have to do that.
Sorry that, as it turns out, it seems I was of little help. The .32 is a favorite cartridge of mine, and because I have a very incomplete collection of somewhat over 1,000, to answer your question technically and correcting would likely be a daunting task. I wish I could do it because I think it would be very interesting, but I have neither the time nor the number of different duplicate rounds to make a meaningful study out of pulling them apart, which of course, I don’t care to do with my collection rounds. Not that I never had, but not in the quantities it would require.
