“Little Chen, why didn’t you tell me earlier that you had the Source of Combat Strength talisman of a Ninth Grade Minor Saint? I was so worried just now. I felt that the white tiger died innocently. A mighty divine beast was killed the moment it arrived in the battlefield. Haha! This incident makes me feel so high!”
Nangong Wentian smiled and said. They were gathering around a large table made of crystal with the best wine that Nebula Sect had to offer. He and Jiang Chen had been through plenty of significant battles, but the battle just now was the most adrenaline-rus.h.i.+ng.
“That talisman was given by Great Master Ran Feng. He’s a great monk in Western Domain and also the master of Tyrant. You should all meet him if there’s a chance.”
Jiang Chen said.
“Tyrant, I didn’t know that you have such a powerful master. Doesn’t that mean that everyone is afraid of offending you?”
Nangong Wentian and the others looked at Tyrant surprisingly. They knew that Tyrant was a monk of Western Domain, but they didn’t know that he had such a powerful support behind him. Tan Lang also showed a wry smile as he thought of that time in the Chaotic Ocean, the Asura Palace exerted so much effort just to scheme against Tyrant. To him, their actions were reckless and blind.
“The truth is, no one dares to offend me because I, Tyrant have a charming aura and impeccable abilities. It has nothing to do with my master. I’m very confident of myself, especially my charm.”
Tyrant said in a serious tone, causing the rest to quickly turn their heads to avoid talking to him. This guy was narcissistic. His narcissism was worse than Big Yellow. The way he boasted and bragged about himself was matchless.
“But, the greatest reward of this war was killing Nan Bei Chao. He is the reincarnation of an immortal, meaning that he would certainly be a huge threat in the future if he isn’t gotten rid of.”
Han Yan opened his mouth and spoke. Besides Jiang Chen, he also knew a lot about Nan Bei Chao. Back then, Nan Bei Chao was the number one genius of the Qi Province and the arch enemy of Jiang Chen. If he didn’t die, there would be no peace anywhere he went to.
“Killing Nan Bei Chao is equivalent to eliminating a very strong enemy, but I don’t know why I having some strange feelings after that.”
Jiang Chen frowned.
“Nan Bei Chao hasn’t died?”
Tyrant was stunned.
“No, I can confirm that he was eradicated in my five elemental sphere. But I just feel that something is definitely off. I just couldn’t put them into words. Alright, you know what, forget about it. There is nothing that I, Jiang Chen is afraid of anyway.”
Jiang Chen’s Qi fluctuated. Nan Bei Chao was without a doubt killed by him, but there was an awkward feeling inside that was bugging him, as if Nan Bei Chao was still alive. Although it sounded absurd, he couldn’t deny the feeling that he had. Nonetheless, he didn’t want to delve deeper into this thought, he still had a long way to go and he needs to put in more effort. There were many things that he had to do, such as settling the matter with Gu Family. He was worried about Wu Ningzhu’s condition there.
In the following days’, Jiang Chen was in seclusion. He had turned a deaf ear regarding the matters of the four large domains. He had obtained a lot of benefits this time and needed sometime to fortify his cultivation. There were sixty one thousand dragon marks in his body which had enhanced his pool of energy ma.s.sively.
Furthermore, his human-dragon transformation was able to improve his current combat strength by ten times, beyond anyone’s imagination. While he was in his dragon form, no Fifth Grade Minor Saint could stand against him, not even a Sixth Grade Minor Saint.
What he had to do now was to make ample preparations for the heavenly tribulation. He would feel the existence of the tribulation at random timing. It would fall upon him once he initiated it, but he didn’t dare to recklessly confront it. The greatest heavenly tribulation that he had experienced in his previous life was the nine major tribulations. Now, he couldn’t predict what this tribulation would be like and how powerful it would be. Thus, sufficient preparation was crucial.
Han Yan, Nangong Wentian and Tyrant had also gone into seclusion to improve their cultivation. Jiang Chen had given them a huge pressure. They had to put in ten times the effort to narrow down the gap between them and Jiang Chen. Not only them, Big Yellow’s cultivation would reach the Second Grade Minor Saint once he wakes up.
In these past two days, there was a turmoil in the four large domains – Heaven, Earth, Yellow and Mysterious. No one could find peace during this period. Countless major and minor powers were having a hard time trying to adapt to this sudden upheaval. Nebula Sect was initially a sect of Mysterious Domain that only a few of them knew about, but the sudden movements of an army had made it a well-known organization that no one wasn’t aware of, especially when they heard that over sixty Minor Saints were killed in the war. This was clearly an unprecedented event to all of them.
“I can’t believe that this would be the result. I initially thought that the Nan Bei Chao who possessed the body of an immortal soul would rule the four large domains, but who would have thought that he would be killed by Jiang Chen in the end.”
“More than a hundred and fifty Minor Saints besieged them. Can you imagine how big that was? I can’t. Jiang Chen faced all of them alone and had killed over sixty of them. According to them, the remaining Minor Saints’ only managed to save their lives because they submitted themselves to him. A person like him is truly terrifying. It’s regretful that I wasn’t able to witness the actual event.”
“A rare genius he is. Undeniably. I’m afraid that not even the geniuses of the eight ancient families could be compared to him.”
“Well, that is still hard to say. There is a Sky Ranking in the Pure Land and those figures who are listed on the Sky Ranking are freaks, the real abnormal ones. This Sky Ranking isn’t the same as the Sky Ranking in Nebula Sect. This Sky Ranking represents the Sky Ranking of the entire Divine Continent. They are all monstrous geniuses. I’m afraid that if Jiang Chen were to be compared with them, he would be out of place.”
“It really doesn’t matter much, even if he wasn’t their opponent now,, he would probable be in the future given his extremely fast growth. He is also the new ruler of the four large domains. He might find these domain unchallenging and small so it’s just a matter of time before he goes to the Pure Land.”
Everyone was in a state of shock and excitement. There would be gossips about Jiang Chen everywhere. What he did was just too extreme and people couldn’t help but talk about him.
In a common yard of Nebula Sect.
A roar resounded from below towards the sky right at daybreak. A Qi that was illuminated with a golden light was seen in the sky and a boundless demon aura was unleashed from it. Many were shocked.
A lot of disciples from Nebula Sect walked out. When they lifted their heads, they saw a ma.s.sive Qi of energy above, like a golden cloud and a burning sun. It s.h.i.+vered all of their souls.
“Look, quick! It’s a very powerful demon aura accompanied by a saint aura.”
“It’s Big Yellow. It has to be Big Yellow who advanced.”
Most of them guessed that it was Big Yellow because the Qi was coming from Jiang Chen’s compound and the Qi also carried a strong demon aura. In the entire Nebula Sect, only Big Yellow had it.
It was another roar. This time, it sounded like a dragon and a horse, consisting of a saint-like aura. They saw a very robust big yellow dog flying up to the sky. His current self had become more muscular than before. His body was wrapped in a golden light, like a big golden coc.o.o.n. Behind him was a shadow of a dragon-horse with three horns on its head and a body of a horse. Despite it being an illusionary image, they could feel a domineering pressure from it.
Jiang Chen walked out of his house and looked upwards. He smiled.
“This is great. Big Yellow’s bloodline is activated again. His combat strength would be enhanced further. Sure enough, the demon soul of the white tiger is really terrifying. It pushed Big Yellow to the Second Grade Minor Demon Saint. His Qi is not showing any signs of stopping yet, even though he’s already at the peak of the Second Grade. Is he going to hit the Third Grade?”
Jiang Chen was surprised. Big Yellow’s advancement was way beyond his expectation. He thought that at most, Big Yellow would only reach the Second Grade Minor Saint. Based on the current development, he had clearly underestimated him.
The sound rumbled in the air and lingered within the mountain. The bloodline in his body was circulating fast, making the illusion of the divine dragon-horse more vivid.
The threshold was broken. Big Yellow successfully stepped into the Third Grade Minor Demon Saint. The golden horn between his brows grew a little longer, topped with flas.h.i.+ng electricity sparks that trembled the air particles.
“I finally know why. The demon soul of the white tiger isn’t an ordinary demon soul. Not only did it contain a more purified and powerful energy, but also the Qi of a divine beast. Despite extracting the bloodline within it, the aura of the divine beast was still within. And because Big Yellow is also a divine beast himself, his bloodline was ignited once again, making him undergo metamorphosis, activating even more of his potential, pus.h.i.+ng his cultivation to the Third Grade Minor Demon Saint. I have to admit, this type of power is quite scary.”
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but feel delightfully surprised. Although he had a lot of knowledge, he still lacked some of them regarding divine beast. So this time, Big Yellow had overcome his expectation.
Big Yellow let out a usual laugh. He circled above the mountain for a few rounds out of happiness and satisfaction.
Tyrant, Han Yan and Nangong Wentian sighed but they still felt happy for him.
Big Yellow was a Third Grade Minor Demon Saint now. His combat strength had reached an entirely new level. Big Yellow might even be able to easily kill a Fourth or an ordinary Fifth Grade Minor Saint, given his incredible strength as a divine beast.
“It’s enough. Don’t cause a great commotion to Nebula Sect.”
Jiang Chen shook his head and was somewhat speechless upon seeing Big Yellow’s action.

A recent media campaign assailing other broker/dealers for improper conduct has come back to bite Edward D. Jones & Co., The Wall Street Journal reports.
More significantly, the firm has just revealed in an SEC filing that regulators have found 8,700 instances where Jones brokers took late trades between 4:01 p.m. and 4:45 p.m. Eastern time, even though the brokers certified they received the orders before the 4 p.m. cutoff. In each of these cases, they either took a new order, modified it or cancelled it. The NASD and the NYSE earlier accused the firm for not having the proper systems in place to adequately police internal trading procedures, charges the firm neither admitted nor denied.
The findings have left Jones, which just agreed to a $75 million for failing to disclose shelf-space arrangements with seven fund companies, with mud on its face. Until recently, the brokerage, which has boasted of its independence from Wall Street research and enjoyed a clean-cut, folksy image, ran an ad saying: "Investors are entitled to transparency. They should know what they are paying and what we, as the broker, are receiving." Signing this statement was none other than Doug Hill, the firm's top executive, who agreed this past Tuesday to step down by the end of next year as part of the firm's settlement with the Justice Department.
The incentives included boondoggles such as trips with an average value of $5,000 to places including Switzerland and the British Virgin Islands.

Maiorana: Sammy Watkins was brilliant, then ignored
- Sammy Watkins' career-best game is 168 yards, and he had 158 by halftime in Kansas City.
- The Bills defense allowed at least 30 points for the fourth time this season.
- Tyrod Taylor passed for a career-best 291 yards and three touchdowns.
KANSAS CITY - Here we are again with the Buffalo Bills, that place we always end up at this time of the year. Welcome to the start of the annual slog through the December schedule, when coaches, players, and fans will try to remain upbeat, but deep down in their hearts, they know there won't be a playoff appearance for this perpetually underachieving franchise.
Yes, the math indicates the Bills are still alive with their sloppy 5-6 record. Here's the reality: Four teams are ahead of them at 6-5, they are tied with another 5-6 team (Oakland), and unless they win their remaining five games, or win four and get some help, the Bills aren't making it to the postseason.
Sunday's 30-22 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs played out like so many other "must-win" type games the Bills — the masters of false hope — have played in recent years. They simply weren't good enough, which has been the case much of this season, not even with a new coaching staff and an upgraded roster. It makes you wonder if things are ever going to change, or will the Bills be forever running on a treadmill that leads to nowhere.
Report card: Your turn to grade the Bills
Upon Further Review, here's what I thought about this tremendously disappointing defeat.
Three things I liked
1. Sammy Watkins' first half. That's who Watkins can be when he's given a chance to succeed. Six catches for 158 yards and two touchdowns, a truly dominating performance by the second-year pro and No. 4 overall draft pick in 2014. Watkins embarrassed veteran Chiefs cornerback Sean Smith, catching balls of 48, 33, 28, 21, 14 and 14 yards. And some of those catches were truly magnificent, a combination of skill and athleticism. Watching Watkins in the first half, you had to wonder why this doesn't happen more often. More on that later.
2. Tyrod Taylor. I thought Taylor took a step forward in this game, and that's progress which, at this point, is all we can hope for at quarterback. He made some good decisions, he threw the ball tremendously well — at least in the first half — and he also used his legs to get out of trouble and make some plays. The second half was disappointing, but there were some circumstances. First of all, the Buffalo defense couldn't get off the field as Kansas City held the ball for about 19 minutes and the Bills ran only 25 offensive plays. And I have to question why offensive coordinator Greg Roman stopped trying to dial up passes to Watkins.
3. Marcus Thigpen. Look, the guy won't ever draw comparisons to Deion Sanders as a return man, but he was the best the Bills had at the start of the season, and cutting him to bring in Denarius Moore was flat out stupid. In his first game back since being re-signed to replace Moore, Thigpen gave the Bills a spark on the kickoff team with a 23.4 average on seven attempts. He didn't fumble or make dumb decisions like Moore and Leodis McKelvin, and I think the Bills should feel very comfortable with Thigpen as their return man. Stop tinkering with this area.
Three things I didn't like
1. Sammy Watkins' second half. Sadly, the second half resembled the Watkins we've seen far too much of in his time with the Bills: No catches, ignored by the quarterback, a non-factor as the game got away from the Bills. This wasn't his fault. Roman cowered to the Chiefs once they decided to roll coverage toward Watkins in the second half, and thus he was thrown to just one time. Why would Roman be spooked? He let the Chiefs dictate what the offense would do, and that can't happen, especially when you've got a weapon like Watkins who could not have been hotter.
2. The replay challenge system. Rex Ryan had an awful day, but this raises a point that the NFL needs to address. Why should it be the responsibility of the head coach to challenge an official's screw-up? When you're on the road, the stadium scoreboard operator is not going to show a replay of a play that might hurt the home team. The team spotters in the press box are at the mercy of the TV broadcast. And with the play clock running, sometimes it's difficult to make a decision on when to challenge or not. It's such a dumb system, but this is the NFL, so why should we expect anything else? The official in the booth takes control of replays in the final two minutes of each half, but why shouldn't he be doing it the entire game?
3. The defense. This has been a disappointing season for Ryan, the defensive guru. His reputation is taking a hit because the Bills have not been nearly good enough on defense, certainly nowhere near the level Ryan predicted when he boastfully said the Bills would be No. 1. Kansas City became the fourth team to top 30 points against Buffalo. The Bills now rank 19th in yards at 356 allowed per game, and 15th in points allowed at 23.4 per game. They have a mere 15 sacks, and didn't even register a QB hit on Alex Smith.
34 - Yards in the air from the line of scrimmage that Alex Smith's 41-yard TD pass to Jeremy Maclin traveled. Smith had not thrown a touchdown pass that traveled at least 30 yards in the air from the line of scrimmage since Oct. 7, 2012, when he was with the 49ers and hit Michael Crabtree, also against the Bills. By the way, Smith is now 4-0 all-time against Buffalo.
5 - Players in Bills history to record at least 10 touchdowns in their first two seasons with the team. Sammy Watkins joined Elbert Dubenion, Jerry Butler, Andre Reed, and Lee Evans.
166 - Pass attempts without an interception by Tyrod Taylor, now tied for the fourth-longest streak in Bills history with Kyle Orton in 2014. Drew Bledsoe holds the record at 172 in 2002.
Next up are the Houston Texans, another team that seems to have a lesser roster than the Bills, but currently sits ahead of Buffalo in the wild-card standings. Houston has risen from the dead the last month behind a tremendous defense led by J.J. Watt.
Since falling behind Miami 41-0 in the first half on Oct. 25 in what ended up being a 44-26 loss, the Texans have won four games in a row and their defense has allowed just two touchdowns, both to Ryan Fitzpatrick, a run and a pass. Sunday, the Texans kept the Saints out of the end zone, the first time New Orleans hadn't scored a TD since 2005, a streak of 155 games that was the NFL's second-longest all-time.

Here’s The Secret Code On Egg Cartons That Reveals How Fresh Eggs Really Are
Eggs are one of the healthiest food you can have, providing high-quality protein and containing absolutely no sugar and no carbs. According to Statista.com, consumption of eggs in the U.S. was estimated at 274.2 eggs per person in 2017.
Now, we’re going to help you select the freshest eggs by decoding all the numbers you see on the egg cartons.
Most of us will check the expiration date on an egg carton before we buy it. However, what you may not have noticed is the other set of numbers next to the expiration date. These numbers are actually a date in the Julian calendar format, and they reveal the day that the eggs were packed. For example, if these numbers are 276, that represents the 276th day of the year, meaning they were packed on October 3.
The USDA states that eggs that are refrigerated will stay fresh four to five weeks past their packed date. Here’s a chart that will help you convert the Julian calendar to our calendar system.
There are other numbers on your egg carton that can also be helpful. Egg cartons that have been graded by the USTA must also include a processing plant code and a grade indicating egg quality. The processing plant code will let you know where your eggs were packaged and how local they are. This code starts with a P followed by a four digit number, and you can use this hand system to figure out the plant’s location.
The USDA grading system ranges from AA to B, and it pretty much works like a grading system in school. AA is equivalent to an A+, while B eggs aren’t necessarily bad, but they aren’t the best either.
Be sure to be on the lookout for these numbers and letters next time you purchase eggs!

During the project (hexapod), we broke total of four servos. After observation and analysis from the broken servos, we able to detect and identify two problems of how the servos were broke down, while the servos are running. First problem we encountered is overload in power, and the second problem is overload in weight. So we took some time looking inside of the broken servos and found few solutions way to fix them.
What does inside of a servo look like?
Servos usually contain three parts (metal grinding gears, motor and circuit board)
Figure 1: Take apart servo with a screwdriver
Figure 2: Metal gears
Figure 3: Motor and circuit board
How to fix broken servos?
To detect which problem servo met, we connected the servo to the board as we testing the servo.
- Power overload
This problem is usually meet when we first buy the servo and test right away without adjust the voltage to 6V or limit the current that goes by the servo.
Figure 4: Circuit board inside the servo
For the power problem, three cables (black, white, red) will usually falling off from the soldering node or the chip is tanned. If the soldering parts are failing off, simply re-soldering it, if the chip is burnt, we have no choice but to replace the whole board (use the broken gear servos to exchange the board)
2. Weight overload
This problem usually occurs when the team is testing the hexapod movements (forward and backward). The weight distribution usually does not equal for each legs, all of the weight will be putted on the back legs (which simply cannot create enough force to push the whole body moving forward). This will result into two problems. One is current over-drain, and the other is broken gears metal.
Figure 5: Broken gear metal
For the current over-drain problem, we can repair it by using the same methods as power overload. For the broken gear metal, we need to replace the gear. We can buy the new metal gears online at the website http://www.amain.com/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=metal+gear&x=0&y=0. Then we can exchange the broken gear with the new ones. Instead of paying $12.50 to buy a new servo, this method will save a lot of money since one metal gear only cost $0.99 up to $4.99 compared to $12.99.
After looking inside four broken servos, I was able to exchange metal gears and burnt board for two of the servos. They are working and running smooth like a brand new servo. In case if we stumbled into this problem again while demoing the project, I will be able to dismantle the servo apart less than 5 minutes and exchange the broken parts without taking the whole hexapod apart (like we did from beginning). Save time and money!
Here is the picture that I replaced and exchanged metal gear without take apart or re-wiring the robot.

The National Rifle Association will soon break the public silence it's been sticking to since the Newtown massacre, Fox News' James Rosen reports. The gun lobby, which has been the subject of ceaseless criticism since the shooting, pulled down its Facebook page and quit tweeting. But the NRA is getting ready to "push back." What will its message be? Fox reports it will demand a fuller look at where gun violence comes from:
"If we're going to have a conversation, then let's have a comprehensive conversation," said one industry source. "If we're going to talk about the Second Amendment, then let's also talk about the First Amendment, and Hollywood, and the video games that teach young kids how to shoot heads."
This actually sounds a lot like what Joe Scarborough said on MSNBC Monday. The former congressman had an A-rating from the NRA, and called for taking on the gun lobby. But he also called for taking on the entertainment industry. "I say good luck to the gun lobbyist, good luck to the Hollywood lawyer who tries to blunt the righteous anger of millions of parents by hiding behind twisted readings of our Bill of Rights," Scarborough said. Fox's source seemed to hint at bringing back the argument from the late 1990s, after Columbine, that violent video games and music might cause teenagers to kill. This person pointed to the 1999 incident specifically:
"If you really want to stop incidents like this," the source continued, "passing one more law is not going to do a damn thing. Columbine happened when? In 1999. Smack in the middle of the original assault-weapons ban."

In an MSNBC "Lean Forward" promo aired on today's Morning Joe, Tamron Hall says she's been upset and saddened by the use of patriotism and military families as political pawns.
So where did Hall station herself for purposes of the spot? Why, in front of an A-4 Skyhawk military jet! As she so often does during her on-air appearances, Hall also spoke of her background as member of a military family. Speaking of using the military as a pawn, have you ever heard Hall or any of her MSNBC cohorts criticize President Obama for staging shots like the one seen [along with the Lean Forward video] after the jump?
Watch Hall's interesting choice of a locale to rail against the exploitation of the military as props!
TAMRON HALL: It used to upset me, now it makes me sad, to see people use patriotism and our troops as a pawn in their political argument. Because I know personally, growing up in a military family, the sacrifice that is made on a daily basis. The troops aren't red and blue. They're not black and white. They're not male and female. They are Americans! When they put their uniforms on, they are Americans. And that's a fact.

On September 1st 2009 boxing legend Muhammed Ali visited his ancestral home in Ireland. Muhammed Ali though he got his European blood due to slavery (see video),
but it turned out he got it from his Irish great-grandfather Abe Grady, who settled in the United States in the 1860s and married a freed African-American slave.
One of their grandchildren, Odessa Lee Grady Clay, was Ali’s mother. Abe Grady lived in the Western Irish town Ennis, and Ali was honoured as the first Freeman of his ancestral home Ennis.
I don’t know what “Freeman” means, but according to some people it means free drinks at the pub and free entrance to the disco.
In this interview Ali did know his ancestry, but still he thought his great grandfather was a slave owner. But listen to the mistake of interviewer!


Carlton “Bubba” McMichael Vocals & Guitar
Stevie Shred Guitars/ Backing Vocals
Larry Moore Bass & Backing Vocals
Sammy Lee Bendhiem Drums
If you long for the sounds of such vintage hard rock acts as Van Halen, Dokken, Queensryche, and Aerosmith (to name a few), then the Virginia-based quartet, Red Reign, is most definitely the band for you. Originally formed in summer of 2013 in Richmond, Red Reign singer/guitarist Carlton “Bubba”McMichael and drummer Sammy Lee started the group, after leaving a cover band to pursue all original music. A month after putting the plan together, bassist Larry Moore was added to the band, and guitarist Stevie Shred was added in early fall of 2015 to complete the band.
The group is hard at work on the follow-up to their debut full-length (‘Chasing Shadows’) – which is a yet-to-be-titled EP, that is being overseen by Grammy-nominated producer, David Ivory (Halestorm, Roots, Silvertide). “After signing with Chipster PR, we were directed to David Ivory, to help with the rewriting and rearrangement of songs for our upcoming CD,” explains Sammy. “David made the songs flow better rhythmically and brought in fresh ideas, to build on the original foundation of the songs. He also brought a different vision of how the songs were played, to put the band in more of a mainstream direction.”
Despite the recording not yet being completed, Sammy already has some favorite tracks to list off the upcoming disc. “All songs are great, but a couple that stand out are “Not That Way,””Chains,””Toxic.” But I would definitely say “Not That Way” is the most radio freindly, mainstream song. It has a great hooks, melodies and is so catchy that it will appeal to ALL music lovers.”
And the band is already making believers out of the music press, such as the following quote from Pitriff.com – “Listening to Red Reign, vocalist/guitarist Carlton McMichael jumps to the forefront as the leader of this band. His voice is clean without sounding dated, and his guitar playing is about as good as any unsigned rock guitarist I’ve heard in awhile. While he’s clearly a disciple of Eddie Van Halen, it’s equally clear that his pallet has been fleshed out with everything from ’70s era Blackmore through modern era crunch that is recognizable without having a figurehead player to hold it’s mantle. McMichael is not a solo act though, as he’s perfectly complimented by an underbelly created by bassist Larry Moore and drummer Sammy Lee.”And now with Stevie on board, his George Lynch/Slash-type leads will add a modern rock and roll edge.
While touring plans are yet to be determined in support of the upcoming release, Sammy hints at what fans can expect when attending a Red Reign performance. “When coming to a Red Reign show, you can expect a energetic, enthusiastic, genuine, high energy rock show, that is reminiscent of the ‘80s rock bands.”
And lastly, what lays ahead for Red Reign? “We look forward for the national release of the new EP. We then hope to promote and back that up with live performances. And by the way, the writing process has already started for the next release!”

For Knox County voters, the Republican options for sheriff should be pretty familiar. Former Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones is running against incumbent Tom Spangler in the May 3 primary for his old job. Although Jones was term-limited out of office in 2018, the limit specifies two consecutive terms, meaning he only had to sit out a term before running again.
Both candidates share similar professional backgrounds and work experience, with both having worked in the Knox County Sheriff’s Office for decades before taking the top job. Spangler began as a corrections officer before moving up the ranks over the years, eventually becoming the chief deputy in the late 2000s. He retired briefly before taking up a training position with the Blount County Sheriff’s Office, from which he resigned to run for sheriff.
The county commission appointed Jones sheriff in 2007 after the Tennessee Supreme Court ruled that several county officeholders, including then-sheriff Tim Hutchinson, violated the county charter’s policy on term limits. Jones appointed Hutchinson to be his chief deputy, before his own appointment was ruled illegal. He was eventually re-appointed to the role in 2008 before running and winning the job in his own right in 2010.
Policywise, there is little to differentiate the two candidates. Both want to raise the salaries of the sheriff’s office in order to attract more officers and encourage retention. Jones has decried the poor retention of officers under Spangler, who argues that police departments across the country are having a difficult time recruiting personnel.
Under Spangler’s leadership, the office struggled to compete with the higher salaries offered by the sheriff’s offices of neighboring counties and private companies. Jones has made a sticking point of the low number of officers assigned to the county schools system, which Spangler blames on the coronavirus pandemic. In addition, Jones cites low officer morale as a problem under Spangler.
Jones’ main campaign point is that he will bring leadership that the department is sorely lacking while Spangler argues that Jones does not understand the current state of policing. Spangler has the support of the sheriffs of Blount, Loudon, and Monroe counties as well as former District 2 U.S. Rep. Jimmy Duncan.
Both candidates support the controversial 287(g) immigration program, which allows local law enforcement agencies to partner with the federal government’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) in order to detain undocumented immigrants on behalf of the federal government. 287(g) programs across the country have come under fire for racially profiling Latinos and resulting in the unlawful detainment of both U.S. citizens and foreign nationals. Jones launched Knox County’s program and Spangler signed an agreement with ICE to extend the program indefinitely. Both candidates pledge to continue the agreement if they are elected.
This race is largely a rehashing of the 2018 one that saw Spangler trounce Lee Tramel, a longtime ally of Jones and employee of the sheriff’s office.
Insiders viewed Tramel as stand-in for Jones and assumed he would continue many of Jones’ policies if elected. At the time, there were rumors that Tramel would appoint Jones chief deputy like Jones had done for Hutchinson years earlier.
However, Tramel lost to Spangler by nearly 30 percentage points. Spangler did well throughout the county, but his weakest areas were in West Knoxville and West Knox County. This race is not based around the same issues as four years ago, so it remains to be seen if that pattern holds true.
Both candidates have proven to be electoral powerhouses. No matter who wins on May 3rd, this race is shaping up to be Knox County’s most competitive sheriff primary in more than a decade.

Congress recently passed the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, which — along with funding the Federal Aviation Administration's budget through 2015 — encourages the acceleration of unmanned aircraft programs in U.S. airspace. Drones have taken on a large role in military operations in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. The new legislation could make the technology more prevalent in several arenas, from local police departments to farmers monitoring crops.

Laine Mears, associate professor of automotive engineering, former Ph.D. student Wesley Salandro (now with BMW UK), and former postdoctoral researcher Cristina Bunget, were honored recently with the 2012 George Stephenson Gold Medal from the Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IMECHE), the leading mechanical engineering society of the United Kingdom.

It’s pretty clear that Scotty Haas’ mohawk stands for his Clemson spirit, but getting it to actually stand up is a completely different matter.
The innovative, six-seat Deep Orange 3 sports car, engineered by Clemson University students, is on display at the nation's premier automotive trade show.
The next-generation Mazda-sponsored concept vehicle, conceived and engineered by Clemson University automotive engineering students, will be shown next week at the 2013 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show.
Clemson University has always had a presence in every section of the state of South Carolina, but in the last decade, that presence has grown exponentially in Greenville. Just a 45-minute trip from Clemson, Greenville now houses several Clemson academic programs, and the University’s partnerships with Greenville Health System have only gotten stronger.

Chicken never goes out of style and chicken tikka masala is one of the classics. You can enjoy your chicken with rice or even naan and stew. This is a great way to have fun with your chicken and you don’t have to go out of your way to make this.
This chicken tikka can be prepared as a one-pot meal where you’ll just have all your ingredients in one cooking pot. It saves on time, that’s for sure and yes, as we said, you won’t be forced to clean so many utensils.
1 tablespoon of ground cumin
2 teaspoons of ground coriander
2 teaspoons of garam masala
2 teaspoons of paprika
2 teaspoons of ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breasts or boneless skinless chicken thighs
4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
8 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons of finely grated fresh ginger
1/2 cup of water
1/2 cup of whole milk yoghurt
2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar
- Combine the cumin, garam masala, paprika, turmeric and cayenne in a small bowl. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and half of the spice mixture.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large frying pan with high sides over medium heat. Cook the chicken until it turns dark brown and fragrant on both sides for about 4 minutes per side and then transfer to the cutting board. The chicken has not yet cooked at this point.
- Wipe the pot and heat the remaining tablespoons of butter in the empty pan over medium heat until it melts. Add in the onions and cook until they soften. Add the remaining spice mixture, garlic and ginger, cook until fragrant for about 2 minutes.
- Stir in crushed tomatoes, water and add 1/4 cup of cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in yoghurt and vinegar. Cut the chicken to 1 1/2 to 2-inch pieces and return to pot. Cover the pot and cook until the chicken is cooked through for about 10-15 minutes.
- You can serve the chicken with rice.

Tropical Storms Felicia and Enrique formed in early August 2009 in the eastern Pacific Ocean southwest of Mexico. By August 5, Felicia had become a Category 3 hurricane with winds near 115 miles per hour (185 kilometers per hour). The National Hurricane Center predicted that Felicia would continue to strengthen slightly, while Enrique would dissipate.
The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite captured this image of both storms on August 4, 2009. Felicia, still a tropical storm with winds of 46 miles per hour (75 km/hr) at this point in time, is on the left. Enrique is in the center. When the image was taken, Enrique was slightly stronger than Felicia, with winds of 57 miles per hour (96 km/hr). The image shows both the storm clouds and the rainfall patterns within the storms. Areas of intense rain are red. Lighter rainfall is represented in blue. The spiraling patterns of heavy rain reveal that Enrique had a well-defined center of circulation. The still-developing Felicia exhibited a circular shape, but lacked distinct bands of heavy rain.

What a black Thursday? Information coming in has just confirmed the sudden death of the founder of the National Democratic Congress, NDC, former president of Ghana Jerry John Rawlings.
According to trusted sources this sad news happened in the early hours of today, the 12th of November, 2020, though the cause of his death is yet to be revealed by the family of the founder of the NDC.
Former President Jerry Rawlings just buried his mother about a month ago where he was though in a sad mood but, was seen to be very fit and firm.
This sad news is indeed a mighty blow not only to the NDC but to the Nation as a whole since he paid his quota to the country by savaging Ghana through a coup in the the year 1972 and 1978 respectively until he was voted as the first president of the fourth republic.
We wish him farewell with deep tears and sorrow.

NPR - July 14, 20171:18 PM ET (米国アリゾナ州)
For Heather Gijanto, going to the doctor means taking a day off work and driving at least 60 miles round trip from her home in McNeal, Ariz., to the town of Bisbee. And that is assuming there is a primary care doctor available in Bisbee to get her in.
"You select one doctor and then you find out a few months later that that doctor is no longer going to be available," Gijanto says. "So then you have to start the whole process over again. And then you find that doctor and, for whatever reason, that doctor leaves as well."

Can you feel the energy? Wow! Our group is really humming! Three of our members got positive responses from agents and/or editors at the Pacific Northwest Writers Conference. Congratulations, Steve Matlock, David Moore and Takako Wright! We look forward to you sharing with us all you learned and to hear your experiences at our next work session on Sept. 11.
Also, one of our members other artistic endeavors his being featured coming up next month. Kathy Hogan will be featured in an Issaquah Art Gallery
. Congratulations Kathy. I hope all of you can maybe come out for the opening night event (Friday, Sept. 2 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.) More information on that later as it may become a “field trip” for the group.
Way to go. As I said to so many of you in the very beginning, you get out of this group what you put into it. Steve, David, Takako and Kathy have showed what fruits can be produced from working hard at your passion. So, take a page from their play book and keep working hard. It does pay off.
Just a reminder that there are no work sessions this month. This weekend we are participating in Write Now!
Unfortunately, Nancee Johnson’s must bow out due to a family emergency. Our thoughts and prayers are with her. But if any of you were kicking yourself for not being involved in this fun, we have a spot available Sunday morning from 10:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. Your place will be laying the ground work for “The End” so it is a very important role. Won’t you please consider? Attached is our schedule as it is right now, so you can see that some folks are already scheduled twice. Would love to have some other energies and talent to pull from for this event. Let me know ASAP if you can pitch-hit.
Our work session later in the month is cancelled due to the Friends of the North Bend Library’s annual book sale. Do take some time and support them, because without the library’s support via their space, we may not be as strong a group as we are.
This fundraiser for the group is a big source for the Library, so SnoValley Writes! wholeheartedly encourages folks to partake in it.
Still looking also for someone to organize an impromptu pot-luck on Aug. 28, during the time we would have normally had our work session (3 to 5 p.m.). Nothing fancy, just some place we can meet and greet to share some food and beverages and chat about the craft we love so much — writing, and get to know each other better. Let me know if you’d like to do that.
Prompt today is one of the last towards our Word Jazz event: Three politicians vy for one position. Each one of their partners has the means to end their political career. Write a scene of no more than 1500 words surrounding that theme. Write a poem of the politicization of three if you’re so inspired. A one-act play perhaps?
Moment of Writing Zen for the week:
As soon as we lay our hand on the pen, or the computer keyboard, we cease to be the
helpless victims of whatever it was that enslaved and diminished us before we began to
write. Not the slaves of our predicament nor of our private anxieties; not of the “official
narrative” of our country, nor of fate itself. We write. The world is not closing in on us.

Check this one out, friends. This recipe is truly a classic. It belonged to my neighbor's dear mother, a sweet woman who lived to be 98 years old. She was an avid baker, and most of her recipes were beautifully handwritten on index cards, which she kept in her recipe box. This recipe is probably 60 years old, and, according to my neighbor, is what brownies are, "supposed to taste like". She is not a very big fan of today's modern brownie - those that are dense and chewy with a dark fudge texture. She would much rather have brownies like her mother's; they are much fluffier with a cake-like texture and a wonderful thin flaky crust on top. It's a very simple recipe, which is never bad. When she tasted it, she very happily said, "These taste just like Mother's. You're making me cry because now I really miss her!". Needless to say, I gave her the rest!

Having unrealistic expectations within a relationship http://www.fincaeventosdeoriente.com/ways-to-marry-a-tough-anodized-pots-and-pans-man-how-to-find-the-right-asian-girl/ can pressure a romantic relationship. For example , you might feel qualified for certain points from your spouse, or believe they should treat you the way you want to be cared for. Unrealistic expectations will lead to frustration. Instead, considercarefully what you really want in a relationship and become flexible by what you expect.
Dignity is a basic expectation. Disrespect in a marriage can lead to disputes and conflict, and it’s really not healthy. Respecting your partner and showing it will help the relationship establish a stronger this. If you feel your lover is disrespecting you, don’t be fearful to raise the issue and let them know.
Adding your partner’s needs ahead of yours is the realistic expectation. In the event you put the partner’s demands ahead of your own, you’ll experience the relationship even more. But remember it’s far not a necessity. There are many instances where a lover’s happiness will never be enough for the two of you. For example , your partner might get a lucrative new job and want to move to a fresh country. You can feel unfulfilled if you’re depending upon your partner to satisfy you.
Many people feel that it’s best to don’t have any expectations whatsoever. However , having expectations can be healthy in relationships and help you make a solid foundation for your relationship. While high beliefs may lead to frustration, “good enough” expectations will help you balance both equally extremes. These types of expectations could be as simple as rules or rules to ensure that the two partners make contributions equally towards the relationship.

After a record-breaking debut at the Clipsal 500 in Adelaide with a new soft compound tyre three weeks ago, the Supercars will run the newly constructed Dunlop Sport Maxx Super-Soft tyre for their four 13-lap races.
While the event is not for championship points, it will be a vital hitout before the next round of the Virgin Australian Supercar Series at Symmons Plains in Tasmania on April 7-9, where the Dunlop Super-Soft will be used in championship conditions for the first time.
The supercars will have a 30-minute practice session at 1250 this afternoon where they will use tyres from their allocated practice batch of 16 tyres for the season.
They will then have one set of tyres for each of the four 13-lap (30 minute) races, Friday through Sunday.
Each set of those tyres will also need to be used in the four corresponding back-to-back 10-minute qualifying sessions from 1700 this afternoon.
“Everyone is predicting some quick times from these new F1 cars, but I think there will also be plenty to talk about in the Supercars paddock,” said Dunlop’s Supercar Operations Manager Kevin Fitzsimons.
“Weather permitting, I think track records will be under threat everywhere we go this season and that will definitely be the case at Albert Park.
“The Dunlop Sport Maxx super soft is a bit of an unknown with the new construction, but everything points towards the Albert park records being under threat.
“Some teams might push the envelope a little more given that it’s not a championship round and that can be a good or bad thing, depending on which bit of the envelope they push.
“Everyone will be wanting to learn as much as they can as quickly as they can this weekend.”
Early indications following a pre-season tyre test at Sydney Motorsport Park promised a faster tyre, which was backed up by practice/qualifying and race lap records smashed at Clipsal.
Utilising the soft compound tyres, Shane van Gisbergen broke the qualifying record on two occasions lowering the benchmark to 1:19.2951, which was 0.4s under the previous record set by Scott McLaughlin last season.
DJR Team Penske’s McLaughlin bettered the race lap record, set in 2012 by Jamie Whincup, on Sunday by more than 0.6s as he posted a 1:20.4210s lap.
Team Vortex’s Craig Lowndes owns the most lap records on the current Supercars calendar, with three including Albert Park, which he set in 2011. He also holds the crowns at Queensland Raceway and Pukekohe which he set in 2015.
Supercars will be on track from 1250 local time with live updates of all Supercars and Formula 1 sessions on Speedcafe.com over the next four days.

Police Officers usually go through Pepper Spray training while in the Police Academy. The training is required before they can carry Pepper Spray themselves. It brought back memories and reminded me that every new Police Officer Recruit must be subjected to the effects of pepper spray as part of their academy training. It isn’t just Police Officers who undergo this Pepper Spray training but also Military Police Officer Trainees as well.
Pepper Spray – What is it?
Pepper spray is also known as Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) spray and is a chemical compound based on the resin of one of the hottest peppers in the world – cayenne pepper. Pepper Spray is used by police officers for riot control/crowd control as well as self-defense when subduing an unarmed combative subject. Pepper Spray irritates the eyes, causes tears, and inflames the mucous membranes. Other side effects include intense pain and even temporary blindness from eyes being forced shut.
Why Do Police Officers Use Pepper Spray?
There are two main reasons why police officers and military police officers undergo training for defensive sprays. The first reason is to give them first-hand experience on the effectiveness of Pepper Spray. The second reason is to learn how to fight through the effects of Pepper Spray during any possible cross-contamination exposure when taking a combative subject into custody.
I remember the feeling after being Pepper Sprayed. There’s really no words to describe it. It was uncomfortable and painful, but a definitely learning experience.
We feel the more you know about a subject the more effective a tool it will be for you. That is why pepper spray training is so important.
We have a handbook called The Facts About Defense Sprays And How To Use Them To Bring Criminals To Their Knees which is a tool for civilians to learn the basics on how to use Pepper Spray. It provides easy to follow details on how to safely and properly deploy pepper spray and how to keep yourself safe against armed assailants.
Pepper Spray is the most widely used nonlethal self-defense product in the world. It is carried by every law enforcement officer in the country as well as military police officers. In most circumstances it is the first line of nonlethal self-defense. Civilians use it for their self-defense because it is close to 90% effective and can disable an assailant for as long as 45 minutes.
Pepper spray is legal everywhere with a few cities and states having restrictions on the potency or the amount in the canister.

Sean Hayes: No Heavy Gay Messaging in My New Sitcom
“Absolutely not. If that’s a byproduct of their viewing experience, fantastic. But it’s definitely not in the forefront of our minds when creating this show week-to-week. It’s making people laugh and telling great stories. I think with me playing a gay dad, the gay part should be the fifth most interesting thing about the character. It definitely doesn’t need to be focused on that just like in real life. So if it’s groundbreaking for being extra funny, great. But there is no agenda here other than to be funny.”

With the launch of the last-chance Z10 around the corner, Blackberry is giving itself a pep talk to keep those hopes high. And according to CEO Thorsten Heins, the iPhone's hardly in the race Blackberry's fixin' to win because it's old news.
In an interview with The Australian Financial Review Heins made it clear he thinks Apple is slipping, and that BlackBerry belongs among the number of companies that are beating it out:
Apple did a fantastic job in bringing touch devices to market ... They did a fantastic job with the user interface, they are a design icon. There is a reason why they were so successful, and we actually have to admit this and respect that.
...History repeats itself again I guess ... the rate of innovation is so high in our industry that if you don't innovate at that speed you can be replaced pretty quickly. The user interface on the iPhone, with all due respect for what this invention was all about is now five years old.
...The point is that you can never stand still. It is true for us as well. Launching BB10 just put us on the starting grid of the wider mobile computing grand prix, and now we need to win it.
Of course being on the starting grid isn't quite that great when you're also a few laps behind. [The Australian Financial Review]
