By 1126 GMT, the rouble was 0.1% stronger against the U.S. dollar at 75.09 RUBUTSTN=MCX, heading away from a nearly half-year low of 76.5950 hit last week.
The rouble gained 0.2% to 88.93 EURRUBTN=MCX against the euro.
A rouble decline, sparked by fears that the poisoning of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny and the political crisis in neighbouring Belarus could lead to more sanctions against Moscow, prompted many economists to revise their forecast for the central bank's rates.
"With geopolitical risks rising around U.S. elections, threats of sanctions on the Navalny issue, election meddling and Belarus, the CBR is back to Fortress Russia settings," said Timothy Ash, senior emerging markets strategist at Bluebay Asset Management.
Vladimir Tikhomirov, chief economist at BCS Global Markets, said: "A combination of rising geopolitical risks and increased volatility of global markets proved to be a much stronger argument for a rate pause than recent stabilisation in weekly inflation (now hovering at 3.7% y/y) and a bounce in crude oil prices."
The on-hold decision was already priced in and would not have a significant impact on the rouble, Promsvyazbank said in a note ahead of the decision.
Brent crude oil LCOc1, a global benchmark for Russia's main export, was down 0.5% at $43.10 a barrel.
Russian stock indexes were marginally down. The dollar-denominated RTS index .IRTSshed 0.1% to 1,241.9 points. The rouble-based MOEX Russian index .IMOEX fell 0.4% to 2,959.9 points.

A reservoir simulation model is usually required to represent the combined effects of gas transport, water flow, and coal swelling/shrinking on the extraction of coalbed methane (CBM). Although a number of models have been developed in recent years, most of them are based on coal permeability models under the assumptions of uniaxial strain and constant overburden load. Under these assumptions, coal permeability is defined as a function of pore pressure only. This allows the gas transport and water flow to be decoupled from coal deformation. In this study, these two assumptions are relaxed: a general porosity and effective permeability model is developed to represent the behavior of both the primary medium (coal matrix) and the secondary medium (fractures) under conditions of variable stress. The effective permeability model is defined as a function of effective stress, and can be applied to the full spectrum of mechanical conditions spanning prescribed in-situ stresses through constrained displacement. Moreover the effect of matrix moisture is often ignored in previous simulation studies, but some experimental results showed that the presence of moisture in the coal matrix had profound influences on the gas storage and transport in coal seams by reducing the gas adsorption capacity of the coal, decreasing the gas effective diffusivity through the coal matrix, and varying the coal swelling strain. In order to investigate the magnitude and interplay the moisture effects on CBM production, approximate relationships have been built to quantify the moisture effect on the gas adsorption capacity, the gas effective diffusivity and the coal swelling strain. These relationships have been calibrated by comparison with a selection of literature data. Both the permeability model and the moisture effect correlations are implemented into a fully coupled model of coal deformation, gas transport in the matrix system, and gas-water flow in the fracture system.

Top 3 Obstacles that Can Derail Your Recovery
Your recovery all starts with a decision to get sober and stay that way—but even the best decisions, backed by the most profound desire to remain in control can come to an end in some cases. While your recovery is ultimately up to you, there are some obstacles that you will most certainly face along the way which could potentially derail your efforts and leave you picking up the pieces to get back on track.
Remember, even if you do suffer from a recovery derailment, the best thing that you can do for yourself is to pick up where you left off and do the best you can. Relapse happens and recovery is not always a smooth sail—but with your continued commitment to sobriety and your decision to take your recovery into your own hands, you can get sober and you can stay that way!
Attitude is a major influence both on your recovery and also on your potential for relapse. If you have a positive attitude, you want to get sober and you want to do well, you probably will! But, if your attitude is on the darker side, you aren’t happy with the thought of getting sober and you don’t really want to work for your recovery, then chances are you will have some problems along the way.
Your attitude can also play a key role in potentially derailing your recovery if you’re not careful. Having a bad attitude can lead you to irrational thinking and may even cause you to make changes to your recovery that you cannot easily take back—keep a positive attitude and you’re likely to see positive change in your life that benefits you in everything you do.
It’s not only outsiders that you must be aware of when it comes to the potential for relapse, your friends and family may cause negative influence on you too! If you are trying to recover from alcoholism, spending time around friends or family who use alcohol can derail your recovery faster than you can blink if you’re not ready for the potential peer influence.
Outsiders can also influence you in a negative way, especially if you are not prepared. The best way that you can combat peer influence and protect yourself and your recovery, is to steer clear of those who are not open to recovery the way that you are and to avoid situations in which drugs or alcohol are being used or are likely to be used. If it’s friends and family members who abuse these substances, you should talk to them about how the potential for your recovery to be ruined makes you feel and about not participating in the use of drugs or alcohol, at least when you are around.
Illness, especially an illness that causes pain, can derail your recovery quickly. If you have been addicted to prescription drugs, painkillers or heroin, and you suffer an illness that causes pain in your life, you may find yourself ready to turn to drugs to cope. Unfortunately, we cannot always prevent illness and as such, when illness comes on, the use of medication is often accepted—unfortunately, many doctors even prescribe painkillers and other drugs to people who are in recovery not realizing that they are potentially setting them up for serious problems.
If you are sick or in pain, talk with your treatment provider about your past history of substance abuse to ensure that if you are prescribed medication, it’s a safe, non-addictive substance that will not potentially cause you further problems in the future.

- We made an interactive exhibition concept based on augmented reality. If you have a smartphone or a tablet you can try it out, right here!
- Together with atelier goupal & renderdesign we created a digital display / exhibition system for client Designlabland. Because Sweden is one of the countries with most Smartphones we choose to work with augmented reality. This enabled us to create a changeable and very interactive display system.
Augmented reality (AR) is a live, direct or indirect, view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. It is related to a more general concept called mediated reality, in which a view of reality is modified (possibly even diminished rather than augmented) by a computer. As a result, the technology functions by enhancing one’s current perception of reality. By contrast, virtual reality replaces the real world with a simulated one.
As a first subject space was chosen. Both as a creative platform but also and formost due to the future space tourists flying out of Kiruna.We have just created the concept and the 3d-models, not the movies inside the gallery (if you try it out you will know what we mean). The movies are made by Flatlight Films, TSO Photography, Danny Cooke and Evosia Studios. Thanks a lot for sharing your work!

HUNTER trappers have taken out a third wild dog with an estimated livestock body count reaching into the hundreds.
The dog, which frequented farms between Wallabadah and Murrurundi, had been attacking sheep.
Chilcotts Creek landholder Peter Forsythe said he “just fell to bits” when he was told professional dog controller Ben Johnsen had taken out the feral creature.
”I couldn’t believe our luck when I heard they got him – I had that dog trapped once seven years ago, and he got away, he’s probably killed hundreds of my sheep since then, maybe thousands,” Mr Forsythe said.
“I have lost 300 sheep to wild dogs in the last three weeks alone and you just can’t believe the impact it will have removing an old dog like this.
“He was clever, he knew where all my traps were, he walked right past all the baits, so I can’t thank the professional controllers enough for this.”
The latest scalp follows the demise of wild dogs nicknamed Black dog and Hannibal, who had become the stuff of nightmares for farmers in the districts they roamed. They were taken out as part of the Professional Wild Dog Controller Program, a $1 million push giving landholders access to professional controllers.
Three controllers have removed more than 50 problem wild dogs from the Upper Hunter under the project. Mr Forsythe said it was vital the population was kept in hand. “With the drought conditions in our region we have all been backed into a corner, we have nowhere to go for lambing season with our stock, so we have to work together to remove these wild dogs to give our livestock the best chance,” he said.

With three athletes in the house, it seems like one of them is always looking for an ice bag to help with an ache or pain. I have long used a bag of frozen vegetables as ice bags because the flexible ice packs you buy at the store can run between $8-12 depending on where you buy them. However, I just learned that you can make your own reusable ice packs for about $1.25 – and with a little bit of food coloring, each kid can have their own color coded ice pack (so I know who to nag when it doesn't get returned to the freezer – LOL).
Basically, you need zip closure plastic bags (in either the quart size or the gallon size), rubbing alcohol, water and food coloring. There is also a version you can make with dish soap. The alcohol serves two purposes – it helps keep the water even colder and prevents it from freezing all the way so you get a flexible shape. The higher the alcohol content the “slushier” the ice pack will be.
To make your own flexible ice pack:
Mix 1 part alcohol with 3 parts water in the ziploc bag size of your choice, add food coloring, insert in second bag, remove as much air as possible and freeze – courtesy of OneGoodThing by Jillee
Mix 1/4 cup rubbing alcohol with a 9 oz bottle of dish soap in the ziploc bag size of your choice, add food coloring, insert in second bag, remove as much air as possible and freeze – courtesy of the Krazy Koupon Lady
Keep in the the freezer for after practice or game injury management. You can also use them in your cooler to keep food cold on gameday.
** Be sure to remind kids NOT to drink these (EEEWWW YUCK) and always put a barrier between your skin and the ice pack like a thin towel.

Is Seattle's boom squeezing its middle class?
It's certainly not making it any easier for the group
Published 9:00 pm, Monday, April 18, 2016
In this modern era of Seattle as a boom town, there are winners, losers and those in between.
The winners -- at least some of them, anyway -- are those taking home healthy six-figure salaries (or more) at both mini and mega tech companies or the variety of other industries fueled by the tech boom's presence here.
They can buy homes or rent apartments easily enough, don't need to worry about the cost of their commute, and -- probably -- take a vacation at least once a year.
The losers -- again, some of them, anyway -- are those struggling to find or keep housing, foregoing vacations and "luxuries" like going out for a beer or dinner once in a while, and making long commutes to work and back aboard public transit.
They work minimum or near-minimum-wage jobs, often in service or retail industries, and spend most of their paycheck on bills, if not all of it. Some are even homeless. The booming economy has, in many cases, made their lives harder -- not easier.
But in between these vaguely defined groups, is an ever-shrinking group: The middle class.
The middle class has made up the largest share of Americans until recent years, when the lower and upper income earners combined overtook the group.
How are they faring in the Emerald City?
Let's take a look at some of the numbers.
Income-wise, Pew Research Center defines the middle class as households with incomes between 67 and 200 percent of the median household income.
For Seattle, with a median household income of $70,975, per 2014 Census data, that means household incomes from $47,553 all the way up to $141,950 would fall into the middle class.
That's obviously a pretty wide swath, and there are plenty of households of people who may live what we would think of as a "middle class life" who don't fall into that income bracket.
That said, it's a pretty well-accepted definition, so we'll go with it.

Those earning less than $50,000 make up 52 percent of households, and those earning more than $150,000 make up about 7 percent.
This assumes that datausa.io's analysis measured households (they didn't respond to my request for info on how they did it). I also need to point out that the data is less-than-reliable when you get down to these small sample sizes, so take it with a grain of salt.
But none of that tells us how life is for our middle-income people. What does their life cost? Just how comfortable is that middle class?
What I found is that a two-person household in Seattle is going to need to bring in $74,000 to $78,000 in annual income to have an income-based version of the middle class life, but that will leave you falling short of enjoying traditionally middle class luxuries.
To get at that, I'm revisiting my analysis of how much it costs to live here, this time figuring for a middle class household with two people, since that's the average household size here (2.11 to be exact), according to Census figures.
Since it's hard to guess how many of those households are roommates or families, and how many are couples that might share one bedroom, I'm house-hunting for a two-bedroom unit.
That will run you $2,359 if you get something around the median in Seattle, according to Zillow.com.
Write that down.
In case your middle class life still includes owning a home, the median home value here is up to $587,500, also according to Zillow, which equals a monthly payment of $3,178.09 with $50,000 down (the average down payment last year, nationally, was $57,710, according to realtytrac.com).
OK, now for the other costs of living in the Jet City.
I returned to Numbeo.com and plugged in some parameters that have our two household members eating out 5 percent of the time, rarely buying coffee outside of home, going out twice a month per household member, using public transportation (no car), one "sport club" (read: gym) membership between them, spending very little on clothing and taking no vacations.
So, the two middle-income earners will spend $1,510.65 every month before rent.
Now for some math.
If they rent, they're going to need $3,869.65 per month to get by. That pencils out to $46,435.80 annually. That means they're earning a pre-tax income somewhere north of $53,000 -- firmly inside the lower end of Pew's middle class bracket.
But most Americans believe that, to truly be middle class, you need to have a stable job (I'll just assume that here) and you need to be able to save money, according to Pew Research Center.
In fact, almost half of those surveyed by Pew last December also said you need to have time and money for a vacation, and 41 percent said you need to own a home.
By those standards, middle class life in Seattle seems kinda spendy.
If I assume our middle-classers are going to save 10 percent of their income (on the conservative end of what many financial people suggest), that means adding another $6,000 onto their annual salary, give or take.
Going back to Numbeo.com and adding one week of "relatively inexpensive" vacation per year ($75 per month to save for it, meaning a $900 vacation), brings the cost of living up to $1,585.92 per month before housing costs.
In total, also including the mortgage cost instead of renting, our two-person household needs $4,764.01 to pay the bills. But they have to save for the future, so they actually need to earn about $5,300 per month, which will leave an extra $20 bill for fun.
Now we're getting somewhere. Are you still with me?
So, annually, our two-person household needs $63,600 per year, after taxes. This is where is gets a little murky because we don't know if our household is a parent and child, or two roommates, or a couple that may or may not be married.
Depending on their tax burden, they could be losing as little as 13 percent of their income to taxes or as much as 19 percent. In other words, they'll need anywhere from $74,000 to $78,000 to be able to make their bills and savings goals.
That puts them pretty squarely in the middle of the middle, but still a bit above the median household income for Seattle.
But here's the thing: I'm not convinced I just bought a middle class lifestyle for my two-person household.
Sure, they're buying a home. But remember I cut their budget short when it came to extras -- they're not going out and enjoying much of the wonderful food and drink and entertainment we always like to rave about here in Seattle.
Instead, when they do eat out, they're keeping it pretty cheap. Apparently, they're wearing out their clothes, because I only afforded them $28 per month to spend toward clothing. They don't have any debt (aside from the mortgage), must have the cheapest phones on Earth, and they have no medical costs.
They're scrimping and saving all their money for one grand $900 vacation each year.
They also don't own a car, which certainly used to be included in most people's perception of middle class life.
And if they are a couple, eventually they may decide to start a family, which could make this whole thing a lot more expensive.
Welcome to Seattle.

It is a terrifying thing to be vulnerable, honest, and open about your story, to share the good, bad, and ugly of it all with someone God may bring along your way.
But I think it is much scarier to live a life of loneliness and isolation due to lack of boldness to start building a community.
So I make a commitment to God, myself, and those that He would walk with me in this season. I commit to being vulnerable, to being open to sharing my story and the faithfulness and enduring love of God in my life with you. Because at the end of the day, family is built of the brokenness of people but, we come together in that with one common factor that is greater than anything: God is the restorer and redeemer of our souls.
Here’s to the adventure.
My prayer tonight:
I submit myself to you. I submit my comfort zone, I submit my ideas and expectations of the years to come, and I submit my future when its all done. And I say God, have your way.
I am clay in Your hands. Change me, shape me, mold me, so that I at the end of the day am a better and more clear reflection of Jesus Christ. Because in this life my greatest desire is to simply become the woman He has destined me to be from the beginning of time, one discovery at a time. As I embark on this journey, I give myself in to the hands of the Father and say, have me.
"Then God’s message came to me: “Can’t I do just as this potter does?” God’s Decree! “Watch this potter. In the same way that this potter works his clay, I will work on you.” -Jeremiah 18:6.
in case nobody has told you today: you are hella bomb, hella cute, and anyone would be hella lucky to have you
im not crying there’s just overpriced college education in my eye
i dont trust people who can look good with messy hair
This is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. -Psalms 118:24
I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world. -John 16: 33
Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you. -Psalms 116:7

A long-stalled 40-story residential tower at the crossroads of Market Street and Van Ness Avenue received perhaps a new lease on life on Thursday when the San Francisco Planning Commission voted to increase the proposed building’s density and strip it of some of the deluxe bells and whistles that made it infeasible in a tough market.
In a 4-3 vote, the commission approved the 460-unit tower at 1500-1540 Market St., known as One Oak. The latest twist in the One Oak saga comes five years after the tower was originally approved after a long and somewhat contentious community process. Commissioners Kathrin Moore, Theresa Imperial and Gabriella Ruiz voted against the project.

Anderson in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania May 22, 2010
August 15, 1970 |
Compton, California, U.S.
|Spouse(s)||Alvina Anderson (1995–2015) (separated)|
Anthony Anderson (born August 15, 1970) is an American actor and writer, and the star of ABC's Black-ish. He has also starred in his own sitcom, All About the Andersons, as well as the Fox sitcom The Bernie Mac Show during the fifth and final season of the show. He is also known for his leading roles in television dramas such as K-Ville, The Shield and as NYPD Detective Kevin Bernard on the television legal drama Law & Order.

Anderson is also is a regular judge on the Food Network's hit show, Iron Chef America. Anderson currently stars as Andre Johnson on the sitcom Blackish.
Anderson was born and raised in Compton, California. His mother, Doris (née Hancox), was a telephone operator and actress, and his father, Sterling Bowman, was a native of Little Rock, Arkansas, who moved to Los Angeles to work in the steel mill industry before opening a chain of three clothing stores. According to a DNA analysis, Anderson descends from the Bubi people of Bioko Island (Equatorial Guinea), and from the Tikar, Hausa, and Fulani people of Cameroon.
Anderson has stated that his first attempt at stand up comedy was a failure. He appeared at The Comedy Act Theater billed as comedian "Tasty Tony, the One and Only, and if there's another, he's a phony." Although this experience was a blow to his ego, he did meet his future friend and fellow comedic actor Guy Torry there, who consoled him after the show and encouraged him to keep getting up on stage. He and Guy would later act together in the Eddie Murphy film titled Life. Anderson is an alumnus of the Hollywood High School Performing Arts Magnet's Class of 1988 and Howard University. He trained with actors such as Avery Brooks, Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis.
Anderson currently writes for and stars in the hit ABC series, Blackish, alongside Laurence Fishburne and Tracee Ellis Ross which airs on Wednesday nights. He has been nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for this role. His past television work includes a lead role in the teen series Hang Time as Teddy Broadis. He had many one-off and guest roles on major series such as NYPD Blue, Malcolm & Eddie, In the House, and Ally McBeal. Recurring roles were on several series such as 'Til Death and The Bernie Mac Show. He was the central character in the series All About the Andersons, which lasted for one season on The WB.

He previously starred in two other crime series, Fox's K-Ville (as one of the lead characters) and Fox's cable channel FX's The Shield. Anderson is in an Atom.com Web show Matumbo Goldberg.
He also is a regular judge on Iron Chef America. Anderson is one of the few judges to taste dishes from all the Iron Chefs on the show. In the Ultimate Bar Food battle, he served as bartender/sous-chef for Iron Chef Bobby Flay opposite Masaharu Morimoto and fellow judge Simon Majumdar.
After his film debut in Liberty Heights, Anderson has been performing as an actor, often in comedic roles, for many years. Among his more prominent feature films are: Kangaroo Jack, My Baby's Daddy, Hustle & Flow, and Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London. In June 2010, he was cast in a minor role in Scream 4.
In 2009, Anderson directed a one-minute short film featuring his Law & Order co-star, Jeremy Sisto. The short was made for the Responsibility Project, a joint initiative of NBC and Liberty Mutual Group. The short aired during the Law & Order episode "Reality Bites" on October 16, 2009.
In 1995, he married his college sweetheart, Alvina. The couple have two children. They currently live in Hancock Park, Los Angeles. Anderson has Type 2 Diabetes, and has been active in diabetes awareness.  On September 25, 2015 TMZ announced his wife of 20 years had filed for divorce.

Democrats fail in effort to maintain SALT deduction; PAB future undecided
WASHINGTON – Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee on Tuesday defeated an amendment that would have maintained the current federal deduction for state and local taxes, while they continued an internal debate over keeping tax-exempt private activity bonds.
Rep. Bill Pascrell, D-N.J., offered the unsuccessful amendment, which was defeated in a 23-16 party line vote after Republicans defended their proposal to allow the deduction of up to $10,000 in annual property taxes. The House GOP tax reform bill would terminate the deduction for state and local income taxes and sales taxes.
State and local government officials who have fought for the full restoration of the SALT deduction are expected to continue their fight when tax legislation reaches the House floor next week. A Senate version of the tax reform legislation is expected to be unveiled Thursday with votes by the Senate Finance Committee next week.
Rep. Tom Reed, R-N.Y., defended the SALT compromise during the committee's deliberations, saying it would cover most homeowners.
Reed, meanwhile, is among a group of committee Republicans lobbying behind the scenes for maintaining tax-exempt private activity bonds, which under the bill would be terminated after the end of the year. Reed said he will continue to advocate for PABs even if a change isn't made to the tax bill in the committee.
“It’s not as if Ways and Means is going to disband once tax reform gets to the finish line,” Reed said. “There’s always going to be a need to make technical corrections. You’ve heard us talk about natural disasters. There are a lot of issues there.”
Reed is a supporter of PABs and the 20% tax credit for restoring historic, income-producing buildings, which is also scheduled for termination. He is the lead sponsor of the National Disaster Tax Relief Act. That bill would create a new class of PABs -- qualified disaster area recovery bonds -- for disasters that occurred between 2012 and 2015.
Republicans who support PABs said they have reminded Chairman Kevin Brady, R-Texas, of these uses of the bonds in their so far unsuccessful attempt to maintain them before the tax bill moves out of committee later this week.
“If you are going down the P3 approach and get to $1 trillion in infrastructure, you are going to need every tool in the toolbox to get this done,” Reed said.
Rep. Kenny Marchant, R-Texas, another committee member, agrees on the importance of keeping PABs to finance P3s. “I think that’s something many people are trying to convince the chairman, how integral they are,” he said. “But as the bill stands now they are not in there.”
Brady has taken the position that keeping the overall tax exemption for municipal bonds is enough to preserve the muni market.
The $38.9 billion over 10 years that would be raised by terminating tax-exempt PABs would help Republicans finance lower tax rates, especially the 20% rate for corporations. Another $17.3 billion would be generated by terminating advance refundings. Terminating tax credit bonds would actually lose $500 million in revenue because they are taxable bonds. Ending the tax exemption for sports stadiums and arenas as of Nov. 2 would raise $200 million.
Marchant said he agrees with the chairman’s emphasis on lowering tax rates.
“I’m going to have to stick with the chairman at this point,” he said. “My overarching interest is that my homeowners and my citizens get lower tax rates. I also represent a very extensive corporate headquarters district with Exxon, Fluor, Kimberley Clarke, AT&T and Toyota. And I can go on. I have 5 million square feet of Amazon fulfillment space in my district. My constituents can correlate that if their corporate employer does better, they are going to do better.”
Rep. Mike Kelley, R-Pa., lead sponsor of a bipartisan bill (H.R. 960) to expand the use of PABs to certain governmentally owned public buildings, said he was under the impression the Trump administration supported PABs for infrastructure investment.
“But I’m not included in a lot of those conversations,” he said.
Kelley said he has not given up on his bill. “We’re having discussions with the chairman right now to see that we can do,” he said. “I think it’s a great jobs bill so we’re trying to work with him to see that we can do.”
Rep. Erik Paulsen, R-Minn., observed, “Some of these provisions are still a work in progress.”
“Some of us who recognize the value that exists under private activity bonds, I think we are going to look at opportunities to move forward,” Paulsen said. “I can’t handicap it. You have the House process. You also have the Senate process. I think as more people become aware of the value it has for senior housing, for colleges, for charter schools, there’s going to be an interest in fine tuning or paying attention to that.”
Democrats are considering offering separate amendments to the tax plan to maintain tax-exempt PABs and advance refundings.
That would put at least 14 of the 24 Republicans on the panel on the spot because they are sponsors of legislation to either expand the use of PABs or to shore-up the low-income tax credit that’s often paired with PABs in multifamily housing projects.

The research was based on a case study of the Cayman Turtle Farm in Grand Cayman that included reports of illness from visitors to the attraction between 2007 and 2011.
The researchers point out that contact between humans and captive (caged) sea turtles is different from contact between humans and free sea turtles.
The caged animals have a higher probability of developing diseases that can affect people due to the number of animals kept in a small area and higher potential for the development of bacterial, fungal, parasitic, and viral diseases that can be passed on to people.
Sea turtle and human contact can produce gastrointestinal disorders or flu like symptoms. More serious human disease can include septicaemia, pneumonia, meningitis and acute kidney failure.
The researchers note that most doctors are not aware of the potential of serious diseases that can be spread by human to captive turtle contact. The research intends to rectify this problem.
The majority of cases of serious disease were linked to the consumption of farmed sea turtle meat. The researchers advise tourists to avoid any sea turtle meat or food farmed from captive sea turtles.

New to the forum with a question, which I haven't found a definitive answer to yet..
I want to create a couple of performances with up to 2 parts on a secondary keyboard (Novation Impulse 61 to be excact)
and being able to use footswitch controller to control volume via expression pedal..
One sound would be a piano on the lower keyboard (MODX) and 2 clarinet sounds on the MIDI keyboard
The other performance would be a classic organ sound on the upper MIDI keyboard, and being able to use the Expression pedal to control the swell - and hopefully the sustain pedal to control the rotary speed function.
With a piano on the MODX.
I've been through the manual and numerous forum posts and not yet cracked this problem.. Something I would've done in 2 minutes using Mainstage 3 :P
Thanks in advance,

Hofstra lacrosse team upsets No. 8 North Carolina
Hofstra combined its typically stingy defense with an efficient performance at the other end of the field Saturday. The end product brought down one of the top men’s lacrosse teams in the nation.
Dylan McIntosh scored three goals and Jack Concannon had nine saves on 15 shots to lead Hofstra to a 12-6 win over No. 8 North Carolina at Shuart Stadium. Ryan Tierney added two goals and two assists and his father Seth won his 100th game as head coach of the program.
“I’m thrilled with our guys,” Seth Tierney said. “We out-teamed them . . . and I’m awfully proud.”
Hofstra (2-2) came in ranked first nationally in goals allowed per game (6.0), and after a slow start to the season its offense has come alive as well. After being held to a combined nine goals in its first two games against Ohio State and Villanova, the Pride surged to a 14-2 win over Stony Brook on February 27.
The momentum carried into Saturday as Hofstra took an 8-0 lead into halftime and was ahead 10-1 in the third quarter. North Carolina (6-2) had three consecutive goals to close the period, but a series of close-range saves by Concannon in the fourth kept the Tar Heels from getting closer. McIntosh scored with 12:48 left and Brendan Kavanagh scored with under five minutes remaining to extend the Pride’s lead to 12-4.
Kavanagh and Alex Moeser had two goals apiece and Dylan Alderman and Jimmy Yanes both added a goal and two assists for Hofstra.
The Pride’s strong play at both ends of the field was supplemented by a dominant performance in the middle of it, where Kyle Gallagher won 13 of 20 faceoffs.
“You can’t say enough about what he did today,” the coach said of Gallagher, who also scored a goal in the second quarter.
When North Carolina was able to get possession, they had a difficult time beating Concannon, who came into the day with the nation’s fourth-best save percentage (62.2) and played like it.
“A few of those shots came up right in the crease,” he said. “I’m seeing the ball and I’ve been watching film on the shooters to find tendencies. I settled in and tried to play my game and make some saves.”
Hofstra’s attack had no such difficulty with the North Carolina defense and a more patient approach yielded its most efficient shooting performance of the season.
“We were getting deep into possessions and we had a ton of them, too,” McIntosh said. “We made them count.”
Added Ryan Tierney: “They were falling asleep after the third or fourth dodge . . . and we kept going hard.”
All of that culminated in a postgame surprise for his father.
“When I heard it on the loudspeaker in the handshake line, I wasn’t even aware of it, to be honest,” the 12th-year coach said of the 100-win milestone. “It’s not something you keep track of I’m just thrilled it was here at Hofstra with Ryan and all those guys on the field.”

The human spirit needs nature.
A little time spent within the forest will show this as we are rejuvenated by its energy.
Leopard's guard and bring balance to the forest. The effect of their presence is indescribable. Like all great things in life, this can only be felt.
The feeling I have looking upon their beauty is deeply spiritual.
All that they are reveals true divinity.
Thee Leopard is truly an artwork of Spirit.

The Bush administration is squandering hundreds of billions of dollars on incompetence again.
In a House Domestic Policy Subcommittee hearing on Friday, Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, took Interim Assistant Treasury Secretary for Financial Stability Neel Kashkari (read: bailout chief) to task over the Treasury’s decision to spend every cent of the first $350 billion in bailout funds buying up preferred stock in Wall Street icons and other banks, while allowing troubled borrowers to fend for themselves.
Kashkari did his best to deflect the outrage, but his task would have been easier had the Treasury’s position been defensible. In a Senate Banking Committee hearing the day before, both consumer-protection advocates and banking executives endorsed an anti-foreclosure initiative devised by FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair that would create strong incentives for the private sector to cut borrowers some slack. Despite the plan’s broad appeal, both Paulson and Kashkari refused to devote any Treasury funds to the program, making the bailout chief sound like, well, a chump, when he insisted that Treasury is doing everything in its power to keep people in their homes.
The whole thing is beginning to look a little too much like Iraq. Bush administration officials steamroll both chambers of Congress with warnings of a dire emergency and are rewarded for their efforts with unprecedented authority and funding. Shortly afterwards, it becomes clear that the initiative has been squandered on meaningless giveaways to huge corporations without any corresponding social benefits. Naomi Klein of The Nation details the corruption parallels in an illuminating piece for Rolling Stone.
Most depressing is the bailout’s complete impotence with regard to providing broader economic support. Paulson and Kashkari have succeeded in keeping the U.S. financial sector afloat for the time being, but despite an enormous injection of taxpayer funds, banks are not lending money out into the broader economy. One part of the problem is the fact that President Bush & Co. took years to acknowledge that the country was in fact facing disaster (remember Paulson’s 2007 talking point that the subprime mortgage crisis was "contained"?). Now that the Treasury is finally taking action, it is doing so in an environment where there simply are not many good loans to be made. The other roadblock is Paulson’s refusal to require banks who accept public money to put it to use for the public good, as Joshua Holland explains for Alternet.
That desperate attempt to adhere to some kind of free-market principle—not forcing companies to do anything with billions of dollars allocated to partially nationalize them—was on display Friday at a speech Bush gave in New York. It sounds like a sick joke. After demanding $700 billion to save Wall Street, Bush is still warning against the evils of government intervention, claiming that free-market systems have a monopoly on "social justice and human dignity."
"The greater threat to economic prosperity is not too little government involvement in the market," he said. "It is too much government involvement in the market."
Matthew Rothschild skewers this absurdity over at The Progressive.
"You can’t have social justice and human dignity with mass unemployment, rampant foreclosures, high rates of poverty and food insecurity, and a health care system that leaves almost 50 million people uninsured," Rothschild writes.
Bush did make a few nods to sanity during his speech, arguing that markets need to be "more transparent," but the claim was a little perplexing amid reports that the Federal Reserve is refusing to disclose who it is granting about $2 trillion in emergency loans.
"Where is the ridicule?" Dean Baker asks in a blog for the American Prospect, arguing that Paulson and Bernanke are looking more like "crony capitalists" every day.
Going green, going global
Bush’s speech was designed to frame the debate surrounding the meeting of leaders from the world’s 20 largest economies to address problems in the global financial architecture. Fortunately, President Bush does not have final authority to sign an agreement for the U.S., that task will be left to Barack Obama in April of next year. Over at oneworld.net, Gary Gardner and Michael Renner note the opportunity not just for a New Deal to refashion the U.S. economy, but to ink a Green Deal that does away with global dependence on fossil fuels and provides for a fairer distribution of wealth across the globe.
At the moment, U.S. economic policy remains dominated by how to handle the bailout. How Democrats seek to proceed with lashing Detroit automakers to that $700 billion debacle will say a great deal about the majority party’s governing intentions heading into the next Congress.
"It’s time to think big," Andrew Leonard writes for Salon.com. "A Manhattan Project-scale plan to move the U.S. into an energy-sustainable future should start with a complete restructuring of the automotive industry," according to Leonard.
The sagas of the financial and automobile industries have more in common than meets the eye. Both have lobbied heavily against new regulations for decades, and the lax oversight has left both in dire straits. While conservatives are quick to point to labor union contracts that make workforces at GM, Ford and Chrysler pricier than for foreign manufacturers, the fact is that the Big Three have drastically lost market share in recent years by failing to make cars people actually want to buy. In a video produced for American News Project, Garland McLaurin details how Detroit spent millions lobbying Congress against raising fuel economy standards while failing to develop cars that achieve high gas mileage.
Millions of people could be out of a job if the Big Three go under, but if Democrats hurl money at the companies with no strings attached, they’re no better than the current administration’s set of bailouteers.

The orientalist dream of Francisco Pradilla
The museum quality of “Danza de odaliscas” reveals the best version of Francisco Pradilla’s orientalist production.
The European colonial expansion in North Africa during the 19th century was decisive in the desire of many artists to travel and explore an unknown world. The representation of its landscapes, customs and conflicts gave rise to the so-called orientalist painting, a genre with its own personality within nineteenth-century art that was passionately cultivated by the great masters of the time.
The irruption of orientalism as a fully recognized genre finds its origin during Romanticism which, like medieval historicism, meant an escape from reality endowed with a certain mythification. Artists, attracted by the exotic and distant, represented the oriental world through a prism dominated by fantasy and evocative character. which characterized the many stories about the lands of Mediterranean Africa and the Near East that, like those of Francis Burton, Gustav Flaubert or Gerard de Nerval, among others, proliferated in literature. In fact, following the Napoleonic campaigns, the Western imaginary was nourished by the glories of these old empires whose conquest was represented in multiple scenes symbolizing the power and superiority of the West over the East.
One of the most powerful images that penetrated bourgeois taste and, therefore, the art market was undoubtedly that of the odalisque. Artists such as Ingres or Delacroix dedicated part of their production to these sensual slaves of the Turkish harem who, given to the lowest passions, became in one of the great myths that the history of art has created. Proof of this are the images that immediately come to mind when we think of their figure, imagining them as exuberant women dancing sensually or lying on the couch of the harem. Whether nude or adorned with exotic clothing and jewelry, the figure of the of the odalisque symbolized the dreamed, mythologized and therefore misunderstood image of the oriental world and in particular of women, thus contributing to the creation of archetypes that have survived to the present day, such as that of the femme fatale.. The iconographic model established in nineteenth-century French painting by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres and Eugène Delacroix is, therefore, the result of an exoticized and eroticized vision where the female body represents the desire of the West to escape from its reality to immerse itself fully in the oriental reverie that they wanted to recreate.
At the national levelWhile it is true that all the clichés and mythologies that had shaped European romantic culture were incorporated, there was a desire to project a less fanciful vision of Moorish culture. Mariano Fortuny began the path that later generations, such as our protagonist Francisco Pradilla, took as a reference. In fact, Pradilla’s orientalist vision will be marked both by his trips to North Africa and by the years he spent in the region. could share with Mariano Fortuny during his stay in Rome, being in the last year of his pension in the Italian capital when he made the monumental work in bidding “Dance of Odalisques”.. In it, Pradilla takes as a model one of the most recurrent scenes of this typology, showing a group of odalisques dancing half-naked to the beat of a musical instrument, giving light to an apotheosic exercise of technical mastery both at a chromatic and draftsmanship level.
As we can see in it, the painting of this period will be dominated by the realistic tone that emerges both in the expressive intensity of the characters, as well as in the execution of the details and the successful light treatment. In this aspect, the Aragonese painter is heir to the preciosity and dramatic effects of chiaroscuro practiced by his French predecessors, but also, and very notably, to the imprint that Mariano Fortuny left on the entire generation that immediately followed him, and he was even considered the most important supporter of the young Pradilla’s time.
The warm light that enters the scene from the right side to illuminate the women in the foreground, contrasts with the darkness of a background from which a male figure emerges to observe them as they surrender to the sensuality of the dance. This play of light, together with the swaying movements of the female bodies and the exchange of glances between them, endow the composition with a very sharp rhythmic sense full of dynamism. It should also be noted that, unlike other representations starring odalisques, Pradilla here frees them from the harem. The scene is then transferred to a nocturnal exterior in what appears to be a natural setting, which only accentuates the mysterious character of this type of scene.
In fact, As specialists in his work maintain, “Odalisque Dance” is related to other orientalist paintings made in the same year which, like the “Odalisque” acquired by the Goya Museum in 2021, show us one of the women who are the protagonists of our painting. dressed in typical Moorish garb and immersed with a pair of musical instruments in a similar nocturnal environment. This fact has given rise to a more than reasonable hypothesis according to which the artist was then considering the possibility of presenting an orientalist theme of this kind to the National Exhibition of Fine Arts of 1887, which he finally discarded in favor of a historicist theme.
Be that as it may, there is an unappealable certainty of the portentous talent that Pradilla showed since his beginnings and that now, thanks to the tender of “Danza de Odaliscas”, we can enjoy in all its splendor, reliving the orientalist dream that the artist imagined.

Gambling terminology refers to the rules, activities, and language associated with gambling. A game may be either legal or illegal, and it may also refer to any entertainment activity. There are also exempted forms of gaming, such as bingo games. Compulsive gambling can lead to an addiction, and Gam-Anon, a fellowship for compulsive gamblers and their families, helps them cope with the disorder.
Table games are gambling games that are played on a table. They are often called blackjack, roulette, and poker. They can be played on a real table or on a computer. In both cases, the table is usually made of metal and glass, which allows the player to see the cards without having to look up the rules.
While slots are games of chance, many gamblers enjoy table games. These games offer a wider variety and higher profits than slots. In addition, online table games are available in a wide variety. Slot machines, on the other hand, are typically one-button games. Knowledge is power, and it pays to understand the rules of the game.
Table games are also played on specially designed tables and are supervised by a croupier or dealer. The players place bets and are paid based on the odds set on the table. This concept is known as the House edge, which is an internationally recognized feature of casino gaming.
There are a few ways to reduce your house edge in craps gambling games. The first way is to make your bets smaller. The lower the house advantage, the more likely you are to win. In most cases, the house advantage is less than two percent. However, there are exceptions. In some jurisdictions, there are special rules that allow players to bet at higher odds.
Another way to lower your house edge is to play online. There are a variety of online casinos that allow players to play craps for real money. You can find these online casinos by searching for craps under the Table Games category or Specialty Games section. To be safe, choose a casino that has a reputation for fairness. You can also read online reviews of online casinos to avoid scams.
Craps is a game with unique language. Some terms are unique to the game, including “yo” for 11 and “hard way” for same-number totals. If the come-out roll is a 7, a player who has placed a bet on the pass line automatically wins. When it is a two or three, however, the player loses.
Blackjack is one of the most popular games in the casino, and because of its popularity, its terminology has expanded significantly. In addition to being the name of a casino table game, it has also become a name for several other things, like blackjack cards, blackjack dice, and even blackjack cities. In fact, there are three cities with the name “Black Jack” – Kansas, Kentucky, and Missouri.
For new players, blackjack terms can be confusing, especially if they’re not familiar with the game’s rules. A blackjack glossary can help you make sense of the most common terms and rules. Once you know what each term means, you can start playing! It’s worth checking out the blackjack glossary before you hit the casinos!
In the gambling game Blackjack, the first two cards a player is dealt must be an ace and a ten-card. This combination must give the player a total of 21, which is called “natural blackjack.” If the player gets a natural blackjack, he or she wins one-and-a-half times his or her bet. Otherwise, the dealer collects all the bets and the player loses all his or her chips.
