Collect some sticks or twigs on your next walk outside with your kids or students and use the materials you collected to make these fun and creative snowflakes! It’s such a simple and fun way to incorporate natural materials into your seasonal art project. This process art activity is great for any age- toddlers, preschool, and kindergarten.
Twig Snowflake Craft for Kids
Materials for Twig Snowflake Craft for Kids
- Sticks or twigs (You can also use popsicle sticks or even these wood log sticks. If you want to make really large snowflakes, these natural bamboo sticks would be cool!
- Hot glue gun to form your sticks into a snowflake shape
- White and/or silver paint and a paintbrush
- White, gray, or light blue tissue paper squares (You can buy the tissue paper pre-cut or cut your own squares.)
- Liquid glue
- Scissor and string or yarn for hanging
Directions for Twig Snowflake Craft for Kids
1. Take three twigs or sticks about the same length (you might need to break them so they’re the same length) and thickness and glue them together in a snowflake shape with your hot glue gun. (An adult should do this step for younger children.)
2. Cover your work station so kids have the freedom to create their snowflakes without worrying about making a mess. I like to use drop cloths since they can be reused for other art projects, but you could also cover your table with newspaper or butcher paper.
4. Place the glue and tissue paper squares out where the children can access them easily.
5. Show kids how to crumple the tissue paper squares and glue them onto the twigs. Encourage them to glue as many crumpled tissue paper squares onto their stick snowflakes as they’d like.
6. Set them aside to dry.
7. When they’re finished, hang the snowflakes as a festive seasonal decoration or use them as Christmas ornaments.
Tips and Ideas
- Try decorating your twig snowflakes in a different way: wrap yarn around them, or glue things to them like sequins, confetti, glitter, buttons, opal glitter, pom poms, or even these card stock mosaic tiles.
- You can tie twine around the center of your snowflakes to give them a more rustic look.

New Delhi, Feb 4: Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday expressed deep concern at the situation in West Bengal arising out of Kolkata police's unprecedented confrontation with the CBI and said the emerging situation there could have 'dangerous' and serious ramifications.
"There may be constitutional breakdown in West Bengal," Mr Singh said in the Lok Sabha amid sloganeering and clapping by Trinamool Congress members. Making a brief intervention during Zero Hour after the issue was raised by Trinamool Congress member Saugata Roy, the Home Minister said the situation was almost leading towards 'anarchy and chaos' as Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee herself has staged a protest.
"We respect state's right under the federal structure but the situation there could almost lead to the collapse of constitutional mechanism in the state," he said adding the confrontation between local police and the CBI was unprecedented.
"I have already spoken to Governor Keshari Nath Tripathi and he has convened a meeting of the state Chief Secretary and DGP," Mr Singh said adding, "Madam Speaker I have already sought a report from the Honourable Governor on the issue".
He said the CBI officials were stalled from discharging their duties and the officials from the probe agency have been working on the case since 2014 after the Supreme Court had ordered an investigation into Saradha chit fund scam. "Lakhs of people in Bengal have suffered," he remarked.
The Home Minister said the Police Commissioner was summoned many times but he did not appear, which is why the CBI had to go to the police commissioner's house with CRPF personnel for their security. (UNI)

This paper presents the algorithms developed to detect and locate the faults at a hybrid circuit. First, the fault detection algorithm was developed using the comparison of total positive-sequence fault current between pre-fault and fault times to detect the occurrence of a fault. Then, the voltage check method was used to decide whether the fault occurred at overhead line (OHL) or cable section. Finally, the fault location algorithm using the impedance-based method and negative-sequence measurements from both terminals of the circuit were used to estimate the fault point from local terminal. From the tests of various fault conditions including different fault types, fault resistance and fault locations, the proposed method successfully detected all fault cases at around 1 cycle from fault initiation and with correct faulted section identification. Besides that, the fault location algorithm also has very accurate results of fault estimation with average error less than 1 km and 1%.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE [Covington, KY / Edgewood, KY ~ May 18, 2020] – St. Elizabeth Healthcare has been selected as the first site of the FDA-approved Phase-2 COVID-19 clinical trial studying the drug PUL-042 of Pulmotect, Inc., in partnership with CTI Clinical Trial and Consulting Services (CTI), a global full-service contract research organization. The clinical trial will study the safety and efficacy of PUL-042, Pulmotect’s inhalation solution, for the prevention of disease progression in patients with early COVID-19 disease. U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approval occurred last week and the trial is active and will be conducted at up to 10 clinical sites throughout the country, starting with St. Elizabeth in Northern Kentucky, the first hospital site in the world to be able to start dosing patients.
“The drug PUL-042 boosts the innate immunity in the lungs and potentially prevents further lung damage when used early in the COVID-19 disease," says Chaitanya Mandapakala, MD, pulmonologist and principal investigator, for the Pulmotect clinical trial at St. Elizabeth. "If this clinical trial is successful it can help heal the disease faster, decrease length of hospital stay and improve outcomes without needing to get on a ventilator, which is exciting."
This clinical trial represents the latest example of St. Elizabeth Healthcare’s strategic partnership with CTI. Both organizations look forward to rapidly expanding this relationship to include other diseases, including oncology, immunology, and nephrology, given the high-quality facilities, as well as the dedicated medical and research teams at St. Elizabeth, which is located close to CTI’s headquarters. They hope to bring more local attention to clinical trials and the importance of research.
“The COVID-19 pandemic demands an unprecedented response from the pharmaceutical and biotechnology communities, requiring innovation, collaboration, and prioritization of speed without the cost of safety,” said Tim Schroeder, Founder and CEO of CTI. "We are proud to have the opportunity to collaborate on such a response with the St. Elizabeth team and to work together to develop an effective treatment solution for those hardest hit by COVID-19. The leadership from CEO, Garren Colvin, and his executive team has been outstanding in every aspect. They are the first site to begin screening on this trial because of their ability to quickly execute contracts, develop a site budget, receive IRB approval, and be trained faster than any other site in the US."

They may have made a quiet start to the 2013 Formula One season, but Martin Whitmarsh is very proud of McLaren’s excellent record around the streets of Monaco, with F1 returning to the principality next weekend.
“Vodafone McLaren Mercedes has a fabulous record in Monte Carlo. We’ve taken 15 wins – more than any other constructor – through the streets of the principality and while we’re not yet in a position to challenge for victories this year, we’ll relish the challenge provided by this race and we hope to challenge for more points with both cars,” Whitmarsh said in the team’s GP preview.
McLaren last won the Monaco Grand Prix in 2008 as Lewis Hamilton excelled in the wet conditions, but the team is unlikely to repeat this performance as both Jenson Button and Sergio Perez struggle with the MP4-28 car. However, Whitmarsh believes that a good result is still achievable relying the team can have a strong qualifying session on Saturday.
“Overtaking opportunities are limited at Monaco, even with the DRS, so qualifying is going to be very important on Saturday afternoon. Both of our drivers know how to turn a quick lap, and Sergio can take a lot of confidence from his excellent performance during Q2 at the Spanish Grand Prix.”
Jenson Button’s aims for the race are much the same, believing that McLaren can make another “small step forward” in Monaco, but the team will be keen on extending its imperious record should the chance come about.

President Biden will transfer power to Vice President Kamala Harris Friday morning when he is under anesthesia for a “routine” procedure at Walter Reed Medical Center the White House confirmed.
The left is typically celebrating the moment of national terror (could Kamala be any worse than Joe?) by saying she is making history forgetting that is a meaningless thing like passing a bill that can’t pass the Senate. Biden arrived at 8:51 a.m. ET. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Biden will undergo a colonoscopy.
“As was the case when President George W. Bush had the same procedure in 2002 and 2007, and following the process set out in the Constitution, President Biden will transfer power to the Vice President for the brief period of time when he is under anesthesia,” Psaki said.
CNN’s Daniella Diaz said, “President Joe Biden will receive a routine colonoscopy today while he is undergoing a physical at Walter Reed.
“The process, which requires anesthesia, means that he will temporarily transfer power to Kamala Harris, who will briefly become the 1st woman President.”
The transfer of power falls is covered in Section 3 of the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: “Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as Acting President.”
The nation’s first female, first Black and first South Asian vice president will break yet another barrier when she temporarily steps into the acting role. Harris will work from her office in the West Wing while Biden is under anesthesia, Psaki said in a statement.
Biden, who turns 79 on Saturday, arrived Friday morning at Walter Reed Medical Center to undergo his first routine annual physical since taking office.
It’s routine for a vice president to assume presidential powers while the president undergoes a medical procedure that requires anesthesia.
Then-Vice President Dick Cheney did so on multiple occasions when then-President George W. Bush underwent routine colonoscopies.

Watching your parents age is a difficult thing to do. A lot of individuals admire and find confidence in their parents. They may have raised you independently and never needed help around the home since they were self-sufficient. But as they grow older, they lose strength in their muscles and bones, and the frailty that comes with old age can stop them from doing certain activities. Therefore, support is needed.
However, it’s not always easy for parents to admit when they really need help. After all, nobody enjoys being informed that they’re getting old. If you’re struggling to find answers, below are some things to consider as you make crucial decisions for your folks and the services they may need most.
What Services Do Seniors Need Most?
As our parents age, they will undoubtedly start having difficulty with daily activities such as cooking, house cleaning, and personal care. So what can you expect as they get older? What are the tasks seniors need help with the most? Here are a few of the required services that aging adults often need help with:
Transportation and Mobility
Most seniors experience a decline in mobility, and they get tired more quickly, making it hard for them to go places. In addition to that, their vision and reactions will worsen, making things like driving dangerous for them. Fortunately, several types of long-term care services provide transportation and everyday support with mobility when needed.
Seniors may require medical attention for several reasons. Doctor visits and eye care are necessary, but other services, like physical or mental therapy, must also be maintained. In some circumstances, a facility or at-home assistant is required. This is where respite care for seniors can be crucial in ensuring that your older parents receive the necessary support to maintain their overall health, such as taking medications and injections.
Lack of nutrition is a lot more common among the elderly. Difficulties with purchasing and preparing food can make it harder to meet dietary demands. As an added complication, some medications and health problems can trigger changes in the desire for food, contributing to elderly people skipping their meals.
For this reason, food and nutrition assistance is a highly sought-after service among the elderly. Services from in-home chefs to nutritionists can help elders get essential nourishment and other needs. To learn more about these types of services, you can check out this link.
For many seniors, life can be ruined by a lack of companionship. A person’s psychological and physical welfare can be significantly improved when they have solid connections with other people. Aging parents can experience actual physical signs and symptoms when they are alone.
If you have a senior parent, investing in service will allow them to maintain a healthy and balanced social life is vital. This could be in the form of a caregiver who simply spends time with the senior or a transportation service that makes it much easier for the senior to participate in social activities.
When a senior’s physical or mental health declines, so does their personal hygiene too. Basic routines for self-care, like washing up, brushing one’s teeth, changing into clean clothes, and shaving, can become tiring or confusing.
And the only choice is to help them. However, sometimes an elderly person may prefer to receive personal care services from a trained professional because it protects their privacy around loved ones.
Taking care of your parents can be an overwhelming responsibility. Fortunately, there are lots of resources and care options available, including in-home care. Remember, you can assist your aging folks in maintaining their health and freedom for as long as possible by identifying what they need and finding the best way to get it.

Here's another reminder of the precarious position that the world's climate and ecosystems are in: a new study estimates that global warming could push the Antarctic ice sheet past a tipping point in as little as 10 years.
In other words, the point of no return in terms of ice sheet loss is arriving earlier than previously thought, and we may well already be in the midst of it. That could have serious consequences when it comes to sea level rise globally, and the local habitats that animals in Antarctica rely on.
To get a better idea of what's happening right now, the researchers went back into the past, looking at the continent's history over the last 20,000 years – back to the last ice age – through ice cores extracted from the sea floor.
"Our study reveals that during times in the past when the ice sheet retreated, the periods of rapid mass loss 'switched on' very abruptly, within only a decade or two," says paleoclimatologist Zoë Thomas, from the University of New South Wales in Australia.
"Interestingly, after the ice sheet continued to retreat for several hundred years, it 'switched off' again, also only taking a couple of decades."
As icebergs break off Antarctica, they float down a major channel known as Iceberg Alley. Debris released from these icebergs accumulates on the seafloor, giving researchers a record of history some 3.5 kilometers (2.2 miles) under the water.
By combining this natural logbook of iceberg drift with computer models of ice sheet behavior, the team was able to identify eight phases of ice sheet retreat across recent millennia. In each case, the ice sheet destabilization and subsequent restabilization happened within a decade or so.
The results published by the researchers augment modern satellite imagery, which only goes back around 40 years: they show increasing losses of ice from the interior of the Antarctic ice sheet, not just changes in ice shelves already freely floating on the water.
"We found that iceberg calving events on multi-year time scales were synchronous with discharge of grounded ice from the Antarctic ice sheet," says glaciologist Nick Golledge, from the Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand.
The study showed the same sea rise pattern happening in each of the eight phases too, with global sea levels affected for several centuries and up to a millennium in some cases. Further statistical analysis identified the tipping points for these changes.
If the current shift in ice in Antarctica can be interpreted in the same way as the past events identified by the researchers, we might already be in the midst of a new tipping point – something we've seen in other parts of the world and the Arctic in recent years.
"If it just takes one decade to tip a system like this, that's actually quite scary because if the Antarctic Ice Sheet behaves in future like it did in the past, we must be experiencing the tipping right now", Thomas says.
Further evidence for these tipping points can be found in cores previously analyzed from the region, the researchers report, and the latest study also matches up with earlier models of ice sheet loss from the region.
"Our findings are consistent with a growing body of evidence suggesting the acceleration of Antarctic ice mass loss in recent decades may mark the beginning of a self-sustaining and irreversible period of ice sheet retreat and substantial global sea level rise," says geophysicist Michael Weber, from the University of Bonn in Germany.
The research has been published in Nature Communications.

Last year was unsatisfactory for the German mechanical engineering industry, which saw order intake go down by -9% year-on-year, according to its federation, VDMA.
“Overall, 2019 was a disappointing year for mechanical engineering companies in Germany,” VDMA says in a statement seen by Kallanish. Companies recorded a -9% drop each in domestic and foreign orders.
“In summary, 2019 was an economically-gloomy year for the mechanical and plant engineering industry in Germany,” says VDMA economist Olaf Wortmann. International trade disputes, increasing protectionism, Brexit, as well as the far-reaching structural change in the automotive industry have led to uncertainty and a reluctance to invest. “This has left a clear mark on order books,” Wortmann says.
The end of the year was no exception. In December 2019, orders fell short of the previous year’s level by -7%. Domestic orders in the final month were down -5%, with -7% fewer orders coming from abroad. In October to December 2019, orders were down -11% y-o-y, with domestic and foreign orders trending relatively equally.

Nintendo Co. President Satoru Iwata has pledged that the “Super Mario” game creator will post a 100 billion-yen ($1 billion) operating profit this fiscal year as new software titles boost sales. Analysts say he’ll fail.
Nintendo Co., the world’s largest maker of video-game machines, will introduce a bigger version of its 3DS handheld player next month in Japan to help revive profit after posting its first annual loss.
Sales of Nintendo Co.’s new Wii U console in Japan trailed those of the original Wii in the first two days, a market researcher said, as the world’s biggest video-game maker tries to bounce back from its worst loss.
Nintendo Co. pared gains in Osaka trading after the company ruled out expanding into smartphone games, damping speculation triggered by affiliate Pokemon Co.’s development of software for Apple Inc.’s iPhones and handsets that run on Google Inc.’s Android operating system.
Nintendo Co.’s new Wii U will likely fly off store shelves during the holiday shopping season, giving the creator of Mario and Zelda a temporary boost as it tries to rebound from its first annual loss.


1.1 Top Three Technological Trends and Their Impacts on Automobile Manufacturing
The automotive industry is entering a new era of digitalization. Digital technologies have advanced more rapidly than any innovation. Digital transformation is all about using technology to achieve goals, and technologies such as AI/ML, IoT, 5G, Blockchain, digital twins, additive manufacturing, robotics, and connected systems are at the core of accelerating this shift. The shift toward new and emerging use cases in the automotive industry, such as autonomous vehicles, mobility-as-a-service, smart factories, intelligent transportation systems, ADAS, EVs, and vehicle-to-infrastructure, are increasing the implementation of AI, digital twin, and 3D printing across the automotive supply chain. For instance, the mandate to reduce carbon emission output drives the shift towards EVs from ICE. This shift is opening new hotbeds for market players in AI/ML, Digital Twin, and 3D printing for automobile production and optimizing the automotive supply chain.

AI AND ML ARE CHANGING AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS
The use of AI has steadily risen in automobile manufacturing and is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years. One of the most exciting frontiers of AI innovation is Automobile manufacturing, in which the ability to manufacture and assemble products on time is a significant competitive advantage. Some of the use cases of AI in Automobile manufacturing include operator corrective assistance, quality control, and predictive maintenance. For instance, automobile factory assembly areas and production lines are using AI-enabled robots, machine vision solutions, edge computing devices, and AI-enabled sensors to ensure error-free assembling of finished components and products.
The use of AI and ML delivers unprecedented process refinement and predictive maintenance capabilities. The data collected from field devices and sensors connected to machines helps AI-enabled systems quickly detect any anomalies in the manufacturing equipment so that maintenance can be scheduled before they bring production to a grinding halt. AI and ML technologies are also being used in analyzing the historical data collected from the vehicles as well as simulations to improve the automobile designing processes.
AI in automobile manufacturing has a direct impact on improving the supply chain. Integrating AI into various automobile production processes and data analytics will minimize errors in the assembly process and increase production efficiency. This will enhance the supply chain by optimizing inventory management, purchasing components during industry shortages, and forecasting pricing. It also helps automobile OEMs to respond to market changes at the right time to stay competitive.
RISE IN USE OF ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING/3D PRINTING IN AUTOMOBILE PART PRODUCTION
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the automotive industry witnessed a huge shortage of automobile components primarily due to the shutdown of automobile factories and disruptions in logistics. This created the urgency to look at alternative technology additive manufacturing, which was present in the market but did not gain traction among the automotive supply chain members.
After the pandemic, the adoption of 3D printing in the production of automobile parts increased drastically and is now an established part of automobile production. It can be used to manufacture a wide range of automobile components such as bumpers, brakes, engine components, gearboxes, fuel tanks, grills, headlamps, and fenders. The adoption of additive manufacturing has further been accelerated with the rising investment in EVs. EVs are a hot bet for market participants across the supply chain, including automobile OEMs, automobile IC manufacturers, EV charging infrastructure providers, and other electronic component manufacturers. EV sales, including BEVs and PHEVs, are expected to exceed 10 million by the end of 2022.
In EVs, the USP for automobile manufacturers is the battery capacity, i.e., how much it can run on a single charge. 3D printing could play a key role, as 3D-printed automobile parts are less bulky than their counterpart. This becomes more important for EVs since lower weight can mean much longer battery life between charges. Additive manufacturing also helps engineers and designers to simplify rapid prototypes and complex designs of automobile parts, thereby reducing time to market. 3D printing is an efficient and cost-effective technology that can be implemented in designing, testing, assembly, and manufacturing processes in the automotive industry. It helps reduce component designing time, testing time, and manufacturing time, thereby optimizing inventory and just-in-time delivery of components which is hard to achieve through legacy subtractive manufacturing processes.
DIGITAL TWIN OPTIMIZES PRODUCTION SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES
In the era of rapid technological advancements, the fundamental question for industry leaders is how their businesses will perform with the implementation of new products, processes, or systems. The answer to this question is Digital Twin, a virtual replica of a product, process, or system that industry leaders can use as a testing ground for monitoring, simulating, and optimizing production, quality, and supply chain performance.
Digital Twin allows for more reliable vehicle design and development and optimization of each phase of the production process. Automobile OEMs can simulate the entire manufacturing process in a fully virtual environment, from designing the robotic arm to the conveyer belt to developing the entire supply chain using extended digital twin models and running AI/ML models. Digital Twins also use real-time sensor data collected from the functional components of the systems and vehicles for predictive maintenance. This minimizes unplanned downtime and enables stock and resource anticipation, reducing the time to market vehicles, optimizing inventory, component purchasing during industry shortages, and accurate pricing forecasting.

15 Tell-Tale Signs Why You Should Replace Your ERP Accounting Software
SHOULD YOU REPLACE YOUR ERP ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE?
We’ve been around more than quarter of a century and we’ve seen thousands of companies struggle with technology seeking their next strategic business system. We’ve seen companies pick the right product and we’ve seen them make huge mistakes leaving them with a tangled mess, bad data, and crippling debt only to have to go through the process again. Replacing your business software isn’t easy. It can (and should) take many months to evaluate vendors and products and to eventually select a business system. And it’ll take you at least another couple months to implement the basic system which is where most companies stop and become complacent – never returning to setup the advanced features available to them in their application. It’s no wonder why most companies keep their business software for at least 10 years (about 12-15 years for mid-market companies).
In her July 18, 2017 story, “The Real Cost of Aging IT Systems” on Excella.com, Stephanie Vineyard writes, “Data creation is exploding, but legacy systems remain ubiquitous and continue to power the business world. It is estimated that close to $3 trillion in daily commerce continues to run through 60-plus year old COBOL systems. Just two years ago, it was reported that the banking and insurance industries spend close to 75% of IT budgets maintaining workhorse systems, such as these COBOL systems.” This is just one of hundreds of accounts showing how reliant businesses are on technology and how difficult it can be to move to new platforms.
The big question is this: When is the right time to switch software and what are the tell-tale signs that the time is now and not later? This white paper is based on our years of experience working with thousands of companies that were faced with this same question. Our goal is to help you and your team to understand what to look for and to put some hard data to the inefficiencies caused by staying with the wrong software for too long.

PHILADELPHIA – Some 55 prostate cancer patients were given too-low doses of radiation treatment at the local Veterans Affairs hospital in the past 6 1/2 years, and federal investigators want to know why.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission announced Tuesday it is inspecting the Philadelphia VA Medical Center's facilities and procedures to figure out what went wrong and how to prevent it from happening again.
The treatment program, which started in February 2002, remains suspended while the investigation is under way, officials said.
The 55 affected veterans have been notified and VA doctors are reviewing their cases to determine what, if any, additional care they may need, NRC spokeswoman Viktoria Mitlyng said.
The men underwent brachytherapy, which involves implanting radioactive iodine pellets (often called "seeds") in the prostate to kill cancer cells. Men who undergo only that type of treatment typically have low-risk prostate cancer, experts say.
The program had treated 114 cancer patients before it was halted when the problem surfaced this spring. It was discovered that one patient had received a radiation dosage that was less than 80 percent of what was prescribed, according to the NRC.
Hospital officials then reviewed the records of the other patients to see which ones might have received the wrong radiation dosage. They found 55 received too-low doses.
Two of the 114 men had died, but their deaths were unrelated to either their prostate cancer or the treatment, hospital spokesman Dale Warman said.

RUSSELL WESTBROOK VS. TONY PARKER
ANALYSIS: Mike Conley? Check. Chris Paul? Check. Parker? Been there done that. Westbrook already has eliminated two of the game’s elite point guards in this playoff run, and this rematch of the 2012 Western Conference Finals brings another opportunity for him to again show up a premier playmaker in Parker on the postseason stage. If he is again successful, Westbrook will continue his unstoppable march toward best-point-guard-in-the-league status. The last time these two squared off on this stage, Parker was clearly the better player. This time, Westbrook is playing the best ball of his career and Parker enters the series nursing a hamstring injury.
THABO SEFOLOSHA VS. DANNY GREEN
ANALYSIS: Green is a marksman who has shot at least 41 percent from 3-point range in each of the past three seasons. He doesn’t do much else offensively outside of long-range shooting, but he is an emerging defender who at times can downright disrupt a team’s offense. Sefolosha is supposed to be the same type of player. But he’s been streaky to say the least as a shooter, and his defense has been spotty all season. The Thunder will need both to be on point to have a chance to come out of this series.
KEVIN DURANT VS. KAWHI LEONARD
ANALYSIS: Durant hasn’t had his best postseason, and now Leonard looms as a pest who’s had some success against Durant in the past. Leonard has a history of using his length and athleticism to force Durant into being a volume scorer who must shoot from farther out. Leonard’s defense also has led to Durant turning it over at a higher rate against San Antonio. So this should be a quality matchup, perhaps better than most would anticipate. Leonard had a career year and is showing steady improvement throughout this postseason. But Durant was the MVP for a reason.
NICK COLLISON VS. TIAGO SPLITTER
ANALYSIS: We’re assuming Collison gets the start here for the injured Serge Ibaka. Thunder coach Scott Brooks has several options for this spot, including playing small and moving Durant to power forward. But Collison’s experience is likely to give him the edge. Don’t rule out Perry Jones III, though. He started the one game Ibaka missed in the regular season, and in addition to offering more versatility his presence in the starting lineup could allow the Thunder to keep its bench rotation intact. No matter which direction the Thunder goes in, the replacement should be able to handle Splitter. This position in this series is all about what the Thunder loses on defense by not having Ibaka available.
KENDRICK PERKINS VS. TIM DUNCAN
ANALYSIS: Duncan is proving he isn’t done yet, averaging 16.8 points, 8.9 rebounds, two assists and 1.8 blocks per 36 minutes this postseason. He’s shot 53 percent in the playoffs, up from 49 percent in the regular season. Perkins, on the other hand, has had arguably his best postseason in a Thunder uniform. He’s scoring more efficiently, rebounding more consistently and turning it over at a lower rate. Of course, he’s supplied some excellent defense as well. And if he can do the same against Duncan, Perkins can go a long way in limiting one of San Antonio’s numerous weapons.
REGGIE JACKSON VS. MANU GINOBILI
ANALYSIS: Jackson has been wildly inconsistent this postseason, which has made him unpredictable. Ginobili, meanwhile, has had his own struggles in these playoffs but they’ve mostly been his errant shooting. He’s still orchestrating his offense when running with the second team, rebounding and defending. If he finds his shooting touch, and Jackson continues to be erratic, the Thunder could be in trouble.
ANALYSIS: For the Thunder, it’s Jackson, Derek Fisher and Caron Butler. For the Spurs, it’s Ginobili, Patty Mills and Marco Belinelli, a trio that averages 27.8 points as part of a second unit that is the best in basketball. Two of the Thunder’s primary perimeter reserves — Butler and Fisher — are shooting less than 31 percent in the postseason. If OKC’s reserves don’t find their shooting touch, they’ll need to find a way to disrupt the rhythm of San Antonio’s scoring threats. If that doesn’t happen, San Antonio could seize control of contests each time the respective benches check in.
ANALYSIS: Steven Adams is proving to be a one-man wrecking crew that’s deserving of more minutes. He changed the game with his activity in Game 6 against the Clippers. And with Ibaka out, he’ll probably get the minutes he deserves. Nick Collison should also help keep the Thunder afloat, and Perry Jones III could be a nice change of pace that keeps the Spurs off balance. San Antonio doesn’t have much behind Boris Diaw in terms of bigs. So you would think OKC should be able to control the paint fairly easily here.
SCOTT BROOKS VS. GREGG POPOVICH
ANALYSIS: The last time these two met in the postseason Brooks got the better of Popovich, who watched his team lose four straight after taking a 2-0 series lead. Popovich never found a counter for Thabo Sefolosha on Tony Parker, and didn’t have an answer for James Harden. Of course, the Thunder had a more talented roster then, and the Spurs’ were relying on relatively inexperienced role players. The Thunder’s advantage isn’t as sizable this time around, and now that the playing field has been leveled you have to go with the coach with four championships.
CHESAPEAKE ENERGY ARENA VS. AT&T CENTER
ANALYSIS: This one’s essentially a toss-up. Both teams have been known to be dominant at home. But both teams have had hiccups in their buildings this season. San Antonio got its home struggles out of the way early. The Spurs are 6-1 in this postseason and have lost only one other time at home since the All-Star break. It was a meaningless season finale that San Antonio essentially conceded to the Lakers. The Thunder is 4-3 at home this postseason and 15-7 inside The Peake since the All-Star break. The latter mark has included three straight losses, four by double digits and two by 20 points or more.
EDGE: AT&T Center.

The CL-3 Hecate was developed by UNETCO as a scaled up version of the laser weapons designed for ground troops and armored vehicles. While a laser suffers increasing beam diffraction at extreme range in an atmosphere, the advantages of relativistic target interception and high burst damage potential are undeniable. Due to effective differences in interception, compared to ground combat, the CL-3 is designed to dump laser energy into a target as a single large pulse rather than as a dwelling beam. This makes the CL-3 less energy efficient than its smaller cousins, but far more powerful.
Once within range of a target, an illumination laser is used to determine range, speed and bearing as well as provide lock on. Following deactivation of the weapon safety, the laser designator takes over for the radar system, and automatically adjusts the aim of the laser cannon and fires given a high hit percentage. This means that the human pilot can concentrate on navigation and evasive maneuvers, while the weapons automatically track and engage. A higher degree of accuracy is achieved using this system than is otherwise possible when reliant entirely on human reaction speeds.
The CL-3 Hecate is also notable as one of the most important weapons produced by X-COM for sale to its allies. While the UNETCO Charter forbids the use of "exotic or alien technologies" by one member nation against another Earth based non-alien power or agency, it can be expected that once the war is over and the Charter expires that a great many "next generation" fighter craft will be refitted to use laser weaponry. There are already post-war plans for the use of X-COM laser technology in ballistic missile defense systems.
When a CL-3 Hecate's automatic targeting is activated, X-COM pilots use the brevity code "Beam Active" in radio communication, to announce the activation of beam-based automatic targeting and engagement.

I have had two nissen's. I had to have the second surgery as a suture came loose. Recovery from the second surgery was much easier and it mostly took care of the issue of my reflux coming back due to the wrap being too loose. I recently also had a procedure done to stretch out the LES as I was having a hard time getting anything but liquids down (it would take more and an hour to eat a small amount of food).

Eugene E. Elder
Eugene E. Elder, 87, of Cherokee, Iowa, passed away Monday evening, April 4, 2005, in the Cherokee Villa.
Funeral services will be held Friday, April 8, at 10:30 a.m. at the First Church of Christ in Cherokee, Iowa. Pastor Gary Swick will officiate. Burial will be in the Buena Vista Memorial Park Cemetery in Storm Lake, Iowa. There will be military rites at the cemetery. There will be family prayer service at 10:15 a.m. at the Church on Friday. Visitation will from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. on Thursday at the Boothby Funeral Home in Cherokee, Iowa, with the family present from 6:30 p.m. until 8 p.m.
Eugene was born on a frosty morning on Oct. 6, 1917. He was the second of three children born to Herman Thomas Elder and Callie May (Maddox) Elder. He lived in the Liberal and Walker area while growing up. He worked hard as a child and showed an amazing aptitude for work and fixing things. In 1937, he and a friend rode their motorcycles to northwest Iowa. He worked for various farmers in the Newell and Storm Lake areas, initially for Ray and Pearl O'Dell. Then he began working for Reuben and Lloyd Ohlson southwest of Aurelia. While working for them he met their niece, N. Faye Nordstrom.
In July 1941 he was inducted into the U.S. Army for a one-year stint. He knew his time in the military would be lengthened, because Pearl Harbor was attacked on Dec. 7, 1941. Initially in the 5th Calvary, he later transferred to the 4th Calvary and was stationed at Fort Meade, S.D., and also the Mohave Desert in California. In 1943 he volunteered for a group he'd never heard of, the Army Rangers. By this time Eugene and Faye were engaged.
His training with the 2nd Rangers was rigorous. His company climbed the Cliffs of Pointe Du Hoc, Normandy, France, on D-Day, June 6, 1944. He fought his way through five European countries, and was honorably discharged in October 1945.
Eugene and Faye Nordstrom were married at the Mount Olive Baptist Church in rural Cherokee, Iowa, on June 4, 1946. Five children were born to their family. Faye worked through the years as a RN in Aurelia, Cherokee and Storm Lake.
Eugene took pride in his work. He loved life, and lived it with gusto. He was proud of his family, of his Army exploits, and of building up two farms in his lifetime, as well as helping repair machinery and do custom combining for area farmers.
They retired to Cherokee, Iowa, in 1980. His dear wife died on Easter Sunday, April 16, 1995, after a valiant battle with cancer.
He is survived by his children Darrell Elder and wife, Jerri, of rural Aurelia, Iowa, Roger Elder and wife, Karen, of Des Moines, Iowa; daughter, Mary Anne Block and husband, Marvin, of Creighton, Neb., James Elder and wife, Maureen, of Casper, Wyo., and Adam Elder of Cherokee, Iowa; and seven grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Richard, of Liberty, Mo.; and sister Nadine (Elder) Vickers of Nevada.

Ordóñez Sanz, Ruth and Hermosilla Redondo, Daphne and San Pío Tendero, Ignacio and Blanco Suárez, Ángeles (2010) Replacement of fresh water use by final effluent recovery in a highly optimized 100% recovered paper mill. Water Science & Technology, 62 (7). pp. 1694-1703. ISSN 0273-1223
Official URL: http://www.iwapublishing.com
A further closure of the water circuit in paper mills with a relative high optimization of their water network is limited by the increase of contamination in the water and runnability problems of the paper machine. Therefore, new strategies for saving water must be focussed on the treatment of final effluents of the paper mill, aiming to obtain high quality water that may replace fresh water use in some applications. An appropriate treatment train performed at pilot scale,consisting on a previous clarification stage followed by anaerobic and aerobic treatments,ultrafiltration, and reverse osmosis, made possible producing the highest water quality from the final effluent of the mill. Anaerobic pre-treatment showed very good performance assisting the aerobic stage on removing organics and sulphates, besides it produced enough biogas for being considered as cost-effective. Permeate recovery depended on the silica content of the paper mill effluent, and it was limited to a 50–60%. The reject of the membranes fully met the legislation requirements imposed to effluents arriving to municipal wastewater treatment plants.

Terrell Hogan launches distracted driving campaign targeting Northeast Florida biz
Terrell Hogan has launched a campaign to end distracted driving, but it’s different than most — they are targeting area businesses.
Wayne Hogan, president of the Jacksonville-based law firm, said in a news release that the use of smartphones on the road dramatically increases an employer’s potential liability for personal injuries and wrongful deaths.
“In our hyper-connected society, the lines between work and transportation have blurred. It’s easy and tempting to conduct business from a vehicle. The employer can be liable if a worker causes an accident while using a phone,” said Leslie Goller, a Terrell Hogan partner who has represented hundreds of injured car accident victims, in a news release.
In an effort to educate businesses on the potential liabilities they could face, the law firm has launched the “Terrell Hogan End Distracted Driving Campaign for the Workforce,” a free hour-long presentation for businesses and civic groups. The presentation covers the risks of distracted driving, strategies to combat it and potential legal liabilities.
Here are some statistics from Terrell Hogan:
- Percent of crashes involving cell phone use: 23 percent.
- In 2011, more than 3,300 died due to distracted drivers.
- Talking on the phone while driving increases crash risk by four times, the same as driving drunk.
- Texting while driving increases crash risk by 23 times.
Employers could face high financial ramifications, for example, a salesman hit and disabled an elderly woman while talking on the phone, resulting in a $16 million settlement in Florida by a lumber wholesaler.

Caroline Stenman, a reporter for Sveriges Radio’s investigative programme Kaliber, reported the matter to the police after a trip to Estonia with members of the Sweden Democrats’ youth wing (SDU).
Stenman infiltrated the SDU in the autumn and has spent the last few months documenting the youth faction with a hidden camera and microphone. But the project came to an abrupt end on January 9th when four people led by the head of the SDU, Erik Almqvist, bundled Stenman into a cabin on board the M/S Victoria.
“I said ‘no no no’. Then he grabbed the bag. I let it go and said: ‘take it then’,” Stenman told Expressen.
The drama was recorded on a microphone hidden in the reporter’s sweater which went undetected by the four accused, all of whom deny committing an offence.
“In the cabin I immediately knew that something wasn’t right,” Almqvist told news agency TT.
“There had been rumours and I could tell that she wasn’t who she had claimed to be. My first thought was that she had been sent out by AFA [Anti-fascist Action] or was a left wing extremist who had infiltrated us.
“I wanted to keep her there and talk but she ran away,” he added.
Almqvist, who sits on the governing board of the Sweden Democrats, claims he did not know she was a reporter and had no idea what she had in her handbag.
“I was more focused on her. It was the middle of the night and kind of chaotic,” he said.
Almqvist said he had no recollection of any party members saying anything compromising that might have been caught on tape by the reporter.
“But when we’re talking about thirty young people on a three day party it’s obvious not everybody was completely sober,” he said.
Kaliber’s report on the Sweden Democrats is scheduled to be broadcast in the spring.

Local primary schools will close on Wednesday, August 15 as teachers vote to strike.
The New Zealand Educational Institute announced on Wednesday that primary teacher and principal members have voted to extend the planned nationwide strike on August 15 from three hours to a full day.
Wanaka primary school teachers will be joining the strike action citing three main issues for the action: support, time and pay.
In collective agreement negotiations, principals and teachers had asked for more time to teach and lead, more support for children with additional learning needs, and a pay jolt to stem the teacher shortage.
The lead negotiator for principals, Louise Green, said teachers and principals were very conscious of the inconvenience for students and families, “but we’re taking action now to avert the very real threat of larger class sizes within just a few years.”
“We want to be able to give every student a quality education that meets their needs, and our parent communities understand that ,” Louise said.
“Primary teachers have not taken industrial action in New Zealand since 1994 and the fact that we are taking such a step shows the grave concerns we have for the future of quality public education. The Government needs to take some courageous decisions now for the sake of children and their learning.”

Happy November! Can you believe that Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner? With cooler weather, it puts me in the mood to make a few handmade Christmas gifts.
It’s also the perfect time for Ten on the 10th! I can’t wait to see what Christmas gift ideas my blog friends have this month!
I’m almost embarrassed to call this first project handmade.
However, it is my favorite!
I found these napkin rings 50% off at Hobby Lobby.
Recently, I found a bucket full of vintage ear bobs and pins.
Wouldn’t these make the cutest Christmas napkin rings?
First, you need to remove the pin closer from the back of the pin.
Next, glue the pin onto the napkin ring with an epoxy glue.
So stinking easy!
I think 4 of these would make the perfect gift for hostesses, friends, neighbors or teachers.
Maybe, even as a treat for yourself!
So, how much did they cost?
Since I already had the glue and the pins were a find, each napkin ring cost $1.50 plus tax!
Next up, wine or beer cork keychains.
I was gifted this wine cork key chain and thought they would be a fun gift to make for my wine and beer enthusiast friends.
Step one, find a cork that you love.
Step two, place a 1/4 inch washer on one end of the cork.
Then, put a 3/16 washer on top of that.
Next, screw a eye screw into the end of the cork in the center of the washers.
Repeat this on the other end of the cork.
Finally, put a key ring through one of the eye screws on one end.
Now, you are ready to decorate your key chains!
As you can see, they are super easy and cute!
I hope that I inspired you to try making a few handmade Christmas gifts of your own!
Until next time….
Please join me in visiting my Ten on the 10th friends, I can’t wait to see their ideas this month!

Framing of charges under UAPA against youth who raised slogans and discharged harmless smoke inside and outside Parliament on December 13 to highlight certain people’s issues must be thoroughly condemned by all progressive and democratic forces. They should demand withdrawal of UAPA cases against them and stand against their prosecution and in solidarity with them.
Four youth have been arrested in the case. Two of them had managed to go inside the Parliament. While one of them jumped on tables in the Parliament and released harmless smoke from a small canister carried by him, the other raised slogans on issues like unemployment, price rise and anti-people policies of Modi Govt. besides Inquilab Zindabad and Bhagat Singh Amar Rahen. The youth who released smoke from the canister continued to hold it in his hand, ostensibly to demonstrate its harmless nature. Outside Parliament two youth raised slogans against unemployment, Modi’s dictatorial rule, women’s oppression and the like besides slogans hailing Bhagat Singh, and they too released harmless smoke from a similar canister. These two were arrested from outside the Parliament building. Two other names are also being mentioned and are to be arrested for being their accomplices and having facilitated their action.
The intent of these educated youth was to highlight some people’s issues in a demonstrative way. These youth were drawn from four corners of India to show the pan India nature of the issues they were raising.
The youth have obviously been inspired by the act of Shaheed Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt who had thrown leaflets and lobbed a smoke bomb from the gallery on to empty benches in the Central Legislative Assembly on April 8, 1929. Shaheed Bhagat Singh and his comrades continue to inspire countless people especially youth in the country in their strivings against exploitation, oppression and repression. These youth with some others had come together under the banner of Bhagat Singh. The dreams for which Shaheed Bhagat Singh and other martyrs laid down their lives remain unfulfilled and their vision continues to be a source of inspiration.
Fascist RSS-BJP Govt. has termed and treated this demonstrative act as an act of terror. This is wholly baseless and meant to subject these youth and their friends to blatantly repressive UAPA and also to divert attention from the issues raised by these youth.These issues are agitating the youth throughout the country. Parliamentary opposition parties on the other hand have focused on the question of ‘security breach’, demanding a statement from the Union HomeMinister. They too have not spoken on the issues highlighted by these youth, which shows that on the issues they do not have much different to say.
While all the issues raised by these youth are the issues agitating the people of the country, the issue of Unemployment has grown to explosive extent. Such is the level of unemployment and underemployment that youth, including educated youth, find themselves superfluous in society and their lives redundant. They are deprived of the means of making meaningful contribution to society. Ruling class parties focus on doling out pittances rather than providing employment. Rather, they are driving youth to lumpenism, drug abuse, suicides; the ruling dispensation channelizing their energies into communalism including goonda attacks against minorities. Educated youth in particular stake their all- family assets and their own lives- to migrate to other countries to seek gainful employment highlighting lack of such opportunities in the country.
While acts such as the one done by these youth, highlight the issues including the issue of unemployment in particular, the real need is to build a broad-based and militant movement against rising unemployment and underemployment. All organizations, youth and student organizations in particular, should build such a movement against policies responsible for this gross unemployment. Issue of Unemployment is an issue waiting to explode. This will challenge the whole policy paradigm of the ruling classes.
Protest against terror charges against these youth.Stand against their persecution and demand their immediate release. Move to build a powerful movement against Unemployment.

Hey guys, any idea where a guy can pick up a complete Akropovic exhaust for my soon to be Ktm 600xc atv? Also anyone running this similar setup around 3000 feet? What is a good starting point for jetting, my carb will soon be 41mm. Cheers
Probably your best bet is a used one here (if one comes available) or maybe you will get lucky and find one on Ebay. You could also try some of the European dealers. They are gone in the U.S. Action Motorsports sold the last of the head pipes he had a little while ago and the can was even harder to find. Here are the Part Numbers so that you may start your search. The Akro Header: 83005107000 and the Can: 83005183000. Also, you should check out the KTM Bill Full system for the XC. Probably one of the best out there (if not the best) and 1/2 the price of the Akro. As for jetting, do a search and I am sure you will find the specs for a similar set-up here. Good luck.
If you find one, it will be very pricey. As seen from what this seller is asking for it. Honestly, check Bills system out. I don't think you will go wrong with the price, quality and the power his exhaust system has. Plus you can get the header ceramic coated and you can get the can in black...
I am in Calgary at 3500. I am running stock with the fast ranchero mods ( drilled and taped leak jet 45, 158 main, drilled ap nozzle, lock wired accelerator pump, and 1.75 turns out on air/fuel screw, needle is HRC second notch from the top) it runs fantastic so far.
I spent to much money fixing my quad up to get it in riding condition or else I would have gotten a KTM bill exhaust like the other guys said. It's that good! I would also suggest a FCI intake. They are easier to clean nada good increase in power too.
I second the ktm bill exhaust, but i did replace the spark arrestor with a screen mesh for better flow. Also check out my recent thread on intake, if youre shy on cash a few hose.clamps can help, or an inserted baffle of many shapes.
