A canyon at least 750km (460 miles) long with depths of up to 800 metres (2,600 feet) has been lurking 1.6km (1 mile) beneath an ice sheet that blankets Greenland, data from an airborne science mission has revealed.
The canyon has the characteristics of a winding river channel and is longer than the Grand Canyon in Arizona, US space agency NASA said, adding that the canyon is thought to predate the ice sheet that has covered Greenland for the last few million years.
“One might assume that the landscape of the Earth has been fully explored and mapped,” said Jonathan Bamber, professor of physical geography at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom, and lead author of the study. “Our research shows there’s still a lot left to discover.”
The research has been published in the journal Science.
The scientists mapped out the canyon by using thousands of kilometres of airborne radar data that NASA and researchers from the UK and Germany have collected over several decades.
NASA’s Operation IceBridge collected a large portion of this data between 2009 and 2012.
In their analysis of the radar data, the scientists discovered a continuous bedrock canyon that extends from almost the centre of the island and ends beneath the Petermann Glacier fjord in northern Greenland.
At certain frequencies, radio waves can travel through the ice and bounce off the bedrock underneath. The amount of times the radio waves took to bounce back helped researchers determine the depth of the canyon. The longer it took, the deeper the bedrock feature, NASA said.
The researchers believe the canyon plays an important role in transporting sub-glacial meltwater from the interior of Greenland to the edge of the ice sheet into the ocean. NASA said evidence suggests that before the presence of the ice sheet, as much as 4m years ago, water flowed in the canyon from the interior to the coast and was a major river system.

How do you capture your brass for reloading
Given the uncertainty of ammo supplies lately, I am considering saving empty brass when I shoot in case I decide to get into reloading. Is there a way to ensure that you capture all of your empty cases while shooting to prevent others from taking them or if you go to a range where they don't let you pick up brass you shoot off the ground?
Re: How do you capture your brass for reloading
All I have around me are indoor ranges, so that's all I can talk about. One of the smaller ranges I frequent will often let me get on the far right sided lane (so I have a wall and corner right where all my brass goes) upon request, provided it's not incredibly busy and I'm willing to wait for that lane to free up. Also, many times people don't clean up their brass when they're done shooting, so I spend the first few minutes picking up all the brass I've just inherited. In addition, if people in the lane next to me are cleaning up after themselves, I often ask them to sweep all their brass into my lane instead of out onto the range. Needless to say, I often leave the range with a lot more brass that I came with, so the few cases that fly away and are lost are no big deal.
I have no experience with ranges that won't let you pick up brass. I will say though that if a particular range won't even let you pick up YOUR OWN brass (I've heard of some), then find another range.

ANCOP AUSTRALIA AMBASSADORS JOURNEYED THEIR 4TH PHILIPPINE IMMERSION FOR 2019
Friday, January 18, 2019
CFC Australia kicked-off their 4TH Ancop Australia Ambassador Immersion this year from January 9 to 16. The ANCOP Ambassadors composed of members from Couples for Christ, Youth For Christ, Singles For Christ, and Handmaids of the Lord had their chance to visit ANCOP sites in the country and attended various CFC and ANCOP activities.
This year, the Immersion program was spearheaded by Bro. Nick Vargas and Sis. Cynthia Argana from New South Wales together with 13 more ambassadors from the different states in Australia, such as Adelaide, Canberra, Melbourne, Perth, Cairns, & Darwin. The Ambassador program is done every two years where they learn about the mission to answer the cry of the poor in a 3-month campaign. It is also to personally experience and understand the lives of the poor and to realize how they can do more in helping them.
The immersion started with an ANCOP Orientation at the CFC Global Mission Center (CFC GMC) then proceeded to interact with the children housed at the Bahay at Yaman ni San Martin de Porres in Bustos, Bulacan. After their overnight stay at the center, they proceeded to ANCOP Vancouver Homes at Paniqui, Tarlac where they get to meet the home partners, as well as helped in the construction of on-going houses at the site. They also got a chance to experience a Cornerstone Tutorial Session at Jose Fabella Elementary School in Mandaluyong City and attended the CFC International Leaders Conference at SM Mall of Asia Arena. The Ambassadors also had a chance to meet and interact with the Program Implementing Team, parents and scholars at Our Lady of Banneux in San Mateo. The latter part of the immersion is helping as well with the construction of houses for PAR 2 Homes at Moonwalk, Parañaque City, and ended the program by attending the ANCOP-SocDev Summit at CFC-GMC on January 15.
The hearts of these ANCOP Ambassadors were surely opened up to do more in advocating the organization’s work with the poor. Caring and sharing are all possible with the help of these people who unceasingly do something to help the least, the lost and last. (CFC ANCOP Communications /pmb)
Jobless. Abroad. Alone and lonely. This was what life was like for many members of Couples for Christ (CFC) Netherlands during the first months of the COVID-19 crisis. The reality of people in need inspired CFC Country Heads Mel and Daday de Leon, together with ANCOP Heads Medel and Milen Aviles, to start the “Tulong Kapatid” program, which provided relief through door-to-door delivery of care packages as well as financial assistance to the most affected CFC members.
MANILA, Philippines — Rain or shine, on lockdown or not, we’re walking for our scholars! For the first time ever, the ANCOP Global Walk (AGW) goes virtual and will target 5 billion steps over three months to help send underprivileged students and seminarians to school. This year, the AGW will also benefit ANCOP’s calamity services, which most recently have been assisting sectors most affected by the COVID-19 crisis.

Dr Adrian Morris is an allergy specialist and he explains why we think adults suddenly become allergic to pollen or foods or mites long after most people become allergic as children and the risk increases with increasing age. The outcome can be asthma, eczema or food allergies.
When we are a child and growing up our immune systems are rapidly developing and reacting to our environment so perhaps it is not too surprising when that is the time of our lives most of us acquire allergies & asthma, often after prolonged or repeated exposure to a particular allergen. Once our immune systems mature though this is clearly a much less common phenomenon affecting around 4 in 1000 adults who get asthma as adults.
We still do not have much idea why this happens though viral infection, depression and exposure to chemicals in the air or elsewhere in the environment (eg in the workplace) play a part in triggering the process. There is also an increasing amount of evidence that strongly suggests damp & mouldy homes can influence the development of respiratory diseases such as asthma in adults.
Some medicines are also thought to act a triggers; paracetamol and antacids prescribed for excess stomach acidity are known to increase risk of developing asthma. Perhaps not surprisingly there is also a risk when those same hormones that were involved in us growing up start to change during adulthood – so during pregnancy or menopause there is a chance of developing asthma or developing allergen sensitivity.

I am so darn excited that I had to repost this even though it wasn't that old of a post. I originally posted it 9/17.
Last week, after finding some cool things at Goodwill, I posted a recycle/reuse sneak peak. I FINALLY finished one of those projects, I started more than one.
This was $3.99 at Goodwill. Had no idea what it really was, but I liked it.
This was in my mom’s backyard. She had built a fence around her garden and had this leftover piece. When my son was 2, he painted it. My mom had it sitting up behind the gas fireplace piece that stuck outside the back of the house. I thought B never finished it. My mom tried to make me feel guilty I took his masterpiece. Other than 1 little comment, he was over it within 5 minutes.
I sprayed it Krylon Satin Black. I then took the gothic wall candle thingy parts (my cousin took it apart) and sprayed all the pieces Krylon Gloss Purple (I forgot to take a picture of them separately so this picture is a little grainy.)
I took the half size Styrofoam balls and sprayed them black. My cousin stuck in the pipe cleaners. I realized he needed a head, so I got one of those plastic ornaments that Michael’s has out for you to decorate and took the silver hangy part out. Sprayed the ball black and popped it into the Styrofoam. A little Crazy Glue later and it was stuck good. Then I glued on the squiggly eyes. Topped it off with a little Acrylic spray for safe keeping.
I am all about going all “handmade” when I do a project (well you know what I mean) so I wasn’t about to buy a sign either. I found a piece of wood the perfect size in my mom’s garage and painted it taupe to start. Then I brushed on black paint. To finish it off, I took sandpaper to it and rounded the edges to make it look more aged.
I found a font on the computer I liked for a guide and then freehanded “beware”. There was also all this chain attached to the gothic thing, so I used some of those to top off the whole thing. Put in some of the LED candles and VOILA!
All in all it cost me about $10. And I have a spooky Halloween decoration.

The Science Behind Chlorophyll Water's Detoxification Potential
Understanding Chlorophyll: A Natural Cleansing Agent
Chlorophyll, the vibrant green pigment that fuels photosynthesis in plants, possesses unique properties that can extend their benefits to human health. This includes its ability to bind with toxins and impurities, making it an intriguing option for promoting detoxification within the body.
Detoxification Through Chlorophyll: The Mechanism
Scientific research indicates that chlorophyll's molecular structure allows it to attract and bind to various toxins, including heavy metals and environmental pollutants. Once bound, these toxins are less likely to be absorbed by the body and can be eliminated through the digestive system. This process can support the liver, kidneys, and colon in their natural detoxification functions.
Evidence from Research Studies
Several studies have shed light on chlorophyll's detoxification potential:
Chlorophyll and Heavy Metal Detoxification: A study published in the "Journal of Environmental Health Perspectives" found that chlorophyll-rich diets could help reduce the absorption of dietary aflatoxin, a toxin linked to liver damage and cancer risk.
Chlorophyll and Environmental Toxins: Research published in the "International Journal of Molecular Sciences" suggests that chlorophyllin, a water-soluble derivative of chlorophyll, can effectively bind to and neutralize certain environmental toxins, aiding in their elimination from the body.
Chlorophyll and Gut Health: The "European Journal of Nutrition" reported that chlorophyll supplementation may support a healthy gut environment by modulating gut microbiota composition, potentially aiding in detoxification processes.
Incorporating Chlorophyll Water into Your Detox Routine
Integrating chlorophyll water into your detox regimen is simple:
Hydration Reinvented: Replace your usual water with chlorophyll-infused water for a refreshing way to support your body's detoxification processes.
Consistent Consumption: Regular consumption over time may provide sustained benefits, as chlorophyll's gradual detoxification process aligns with your body's natural rhythms.
Conclusion: The Green Path to Detoxification
Science underscores chlorophyll water's potential to enhance detoxification by binding to and aiding in the elimination of toxins. From heavy metals to environmental pollutants, chlorophyll water's properties can amplify your body's natural cleansing mechanisms. As you embark on your journey toward detoxification, consider the science-backed benefits of chlorophyll water and embrace this natural elixir as a supportive ally in your pursuit of optimal well-being.


ST. PAUL – State Representative Duane Quam, R-Byron, is encouraging diesel retailers, distributors, fleets, farmers and other interested parties to learn more about Minnesota’s biodiesel requirement at an upcoming area meeting.
The “Be Ready for B20” workshop, sponsored by the Minnesota Soybean and Research Council, will be held in Rochester on March 21 at the Hampton Inn & Suites, 2870 59th St. NW, from 8:30 to 11 a.m; breakfast will be included. The goal of the workshops is to help the industry prepare for the change, understand the benefits of the fuel, and how it will impact fuel providers and end users.
“These workshops are a great opportunity for stakeholders to get up to speed on the B20 requirements going into effect on May 1st,” said Rep. Quam. "I hope diesel retailers, distributors, fleets, farmers, and others will consider attending this workshop to learn about the changes coming to fuel requirements."
According to organizers, topics at the workshop include a history and overview of Minnesota’s law; compliance with the law; diesel and biodiesel basics; best practices for storage handling and use; blending in the spring and fall; and identifying, treating and preventing common diesel issues. Representatives from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, the Minnesota Department of Commerce Weights & Measures Division and MEG Corp Fuel Consulting are scheduled to speak.
If you are interested in attending, please RSVP at 952-473-0044 or email email@example.com


What can a Surface Pro 4 do and is it worth it?
By: Jeff Fujii On: 18 April 2020
The Microsoft Surface Pro and Surface was released by Microsoft late in 2012 and are touchscreen-based devices. Microsoft has since expanded the Surface family to 8 main lines. The Surface Pro is a hybrid laptop with optional detachable keyboard and stylus pen. The original Surface Pro 1514 was released February 9, 2013 and models include Surface Pro 2, Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro 4, Surface Pro, Surface Pro 6, Surface Pro 7 and Surface Pro X.
Released in October 2015, the Surface Pro 4 specs include models with 4/8/16 LPDDR3 RAM and 128/256/512/1024 PCIe NVME SSD hard drives. The display is a 12.3" touchscreen with 2736x1824 resolution. This device runs on Windows 10 out of the box and is one of the main reasons it is so popular with laptop users. It has significant improvements over the Surface Pro 3, including better pressure sensitivity and a higher screen resolution.
The best thing about the Surface Pro is the current price of the device when compared the later models, particularly when Reboot IT includes the Type Cover making it great value for money. As of the date of writing, the refurbished Surface Pro 4 price starts at $529. If your budget can stretch to it, I would recommend the Surface Pro 4 i7 version as it really makes the experience of using this device even better.
The all magnesium unibody casing makes it a very sleek looking machine. Its dual functionality of a tablet and laptop makes it worth every cent and being designed by Microsoft, it feels like the software runs smoother and boot up times are great.
To put icing on the cake, a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 docking station makes a work or home office set up a breeze. Just connect to the charging port of your device and you will instantly have the ability to attach multiple monitors, USB devices and wired ethernet. The dock not only provides all these additional ports but charges your Surface Pro 4 as well. Remove the cable from the charging port and you are on your way, simple and efficient.

Flight mode won't switch off - it's greyed out and is ON.I've Googled the issue and an upgrade to the BIOS was recommended - it took me from 2.6 to 2.9 (I think) but still stuck on flight mode so no network connections to my printer etc. This is a fairly new machine. Upgraded to Windows 8.1.
I manage to pair my 2-in-1 pc Acer Switch 10 with an externat Bluetooth (bt) device only when the tablet is connected to my home wifi network. As soon as I disconnect from the wifi network, the pairing with the bt device is disabled. If I try to pair the bt device when wifi connection is off, the pairing succeeds just for a few seconds (1 or 2) and then it disconnects.
The support assistance of the bt device, since it actually manages to pair with the pc in such wifi wird conditions, suggested that it probably can be a problem due to the chip of the pc that probably manages both the wifi and the bt connections and is not able to manage them separately.
and updating the bt driver downloaded from the ACER Drivers and Manuals webpage. However, the installation procedure were interrupted as the installed bt driver appears to be "later".
I want to buy the acer aspire switch 10 , it's really awesome for me , but I have a question how could I write on onenote known that the stylus is almost useless , so is there any digitizer pen compatible with this product or not ....
Just finished installing all drivers in Win XP but I can't get the HDMI audio to work.
When I go to "Control Panel" then "Sounds and Audio" and change to "NVIDIA HDMI Audio" the volumebar is down at its lowest and the entire bar is "greyed out". Also if I play some music I hear a "thumping" sound from my TV:s speakers.
The driver I am using is 220.127.116.11 taken directly from the drivercd that I burned out together with recoverydiscs so its an "orginal" Acer (although Vista) driver.
I have also tried 18.104.22.168 to no luck.
My graphic driver is 180.70 with the modded .inf from Laptopvideo2go.
The other device is "Realtek HD Audio output" and it works fine, that driver ought to be me primary audio driver if I'm not misstaken.
when my girlfriend tries to switch on the above laptop it seems to boot up but there is just a blank, black screen. If you look very, very closely the desktop display seems to be there but we don't know how to change the colour/contrast etc. Is it as simple as that do you think or is the problem deeper. I've tried everything I can think of; I've thrown water over it, hit it with the cat and punched it. None seem to work.
How to zoom (increase text size) on the aspire switch 10? My other computers have a settings for this, Also, where can I get a user's manual. They are requesting a number I neither can find, or can't understand where it is, or can't read even with a magnifing glass.
I'm currently using Acer Aspire V5-573G, which uses Nvidia GT750M.
Whenever I run games or graphics-intensive program such as the adobe premier pro, the program will continue to run using the Intel HD graphics and not the Nvidia driver.
I've tried changing the settings in the Nvidia control panel to use Nvidia graphics driver for all programs, but running the optimus tool will show me that the Nvidia GPU is not being used for any of the programs.
I just want to be sure my Aspire Switch 10 is working as designed. When you adjust the brightness on your device (any laptop or tablet) in 8.1, how many steps is it from dimmest to brightest? The brightness bar goes up many steps, but after doing function + arrow keys 3 or 4 times im already at max brightness from the bottom. It feels like there should be many more increments of brightness.
I have problem a with my Switch 10. The internet connection drops frequently. It is followed by the signal strength icon showing 'Limited'. I then turn off WI-FI and turn back on and it does not recognize any networks at all. I then go into network settings, run the troubleshooter and it does its stuff, re-setting the network adapter, and then informs me that it could not find an issue. After resetting the adapter it works fine again.I have tried uninstalling and installing latest drivers but the problem persists. The problem lies within the adapter itself or the driver.
My adapter shows as being REALTEK and i read on here of similar problems with the Broadcom adapter, which makes me think that the driver is causing the problem. Someone suggested that the Bluetooth was causing a conflict, so I removed bluetooth and it made no difference. (I have re-installed bluetooth. All drivers are latest ones.My switch is not a month old yet and this happens a couple of times a day. and am close to returning the product. I like it, but cannot put up with such an important issue as the internet randomly dropping.
Acer usb ports not working anymore, but this USB port (the only one on the device) will connect the external drive but then disconnect a few minutes later (pretty much at random). It makes accessing games and my iTunes library very frustrating.
My Acer aspire switch 10 automatically turns itself off if it is charging and the lid is closed, when i tru to use it i find it hard to turn on and 99% or th time i need to hold the poer button for 10-15 seconds once or twice for it to power on. Never used to do this when i got it but not sure if it is windows being buggy or hardware...
My girlfriend gave me a brandnew Aspire Timeline 1810TZ with build in G3 (UMTS) for Christmas. When i played around with the preinstalled system (Windows 7 Home Premium x64), I could use the hardware switch in the front of the chassis to enable/ disable the build-in G3-Module.
But as you know, the preinstalled OS are normally very slow, so i formatted the System and installed Windows 7 Professional x64. After installation of all drivers from the Acer website, the switch for enabling the G3 didn't worked anymore! I reformated again with Windows 7 Home Premium x64, but there was the same Picture: No, response from the G3-Switch.
The funny thing is: G3 and WLAN share the same physical hardware switch (you have to flip it to the left to enable/disable G3, and to enable/ disable WLAN you have to flip it to the right).
Flipping the switch to the right activated WLAN without any problem!
I have no idea how to fix this (tried every driver i could find).
I just bought an aspire switch 10 last week, but I already got into problems with it.You see, when I turn it on, the acer logo appears, but then the screen goes blank and black.When I tried pressing some buttons, there is a mans voice and tells what the button I pressed is. Then nothing happens. It's just like that to every button. I tried to turn it of by just having the battery empty. Cause the screens still blank.What do I do about it?
Okay so my first question is this: Right now my wireless light is on showing that it's wireless, but if I close my laptop, or if it goes to sleep, and then I go back onto my laptop the wireless stops working and the light is off and it won't go on when I move the switch. I have a Aspire 5590
My second question is: I've hooked up a second monitor to my laptop I checked the settings and it works like this, if I move my mouse to the right and keep going, my mouse appears on the second screen. How can I make it so that the start menu and everything goes from the first to the second screen that way I can close my laptop, cause if I close my laptop screen it disables the second screen also/
So, I've had this problem from some time now. When I put my switch 10 to sleep, and then re-open it, the keyboard is not working anymore, like it has problem recharging drivers. Same issue happens sometime when I use it in tablet mode and then reconnect the dock to it, I've a very hard time trying to make the keyboard and touchpad working again. The fact is that the usb port on the dock doesn't seem to have any problem at all, only the touchpad and the keyboad. I can't figure out if that's a software or an hardware problem.
When updates are posted on Aspire Support Page my Aspire Switch 10 will not complete most downloads I attempt. It downloads anywhere from 60% to 95% of a particular download, then goes no further even though it indicates it is still downloading. I have left it in this "downloading" state for 10 minutes with no further progress. Of the few smaller zip files it did download completely, I got an error message of "Unspecified Error # 0x80004005" when it tried to unzip some of those.
I've got a DELL Inspiron 15 3542 . with Win7 64 bitsi downloaded all drivers from this sitewhen i try to install Bluetooth driver (Network_Driver_NT9P6_WN_22.214.171.124_A00) it shows an error message "Activate Bluetooth Using Wireless Switch" . i can't find a solution ....
I have this problem of wireless in my 15R 5537. I upgraded from windows 8 to 8.1 recently only to know that wireless driver was incompatible. I then visited the Dell support site and downloaded the wireless driver for the model i'm using and the OS installed. But when I tried to install it I got "Activate Bluetooth using wireless switch" error message.
I didn't know what wireless switch was since (fn+f2) was not working either. I came to know that there is wireless option in bios menu from various posts. But there was none in my laptop under "Advance" option in bios menu. I run bios version A08.
I tried to reinstall old windows 8(with a different CD this time) but wireless didn't work in this one either...
Just wanted to share my upgrade experience with my Aspire 4736z. My model did not come with bluetooth installed from the factory and it only has 3 usb ports and I wanted to keep them as free as possible.
So I found a place that sells the bluetooth module and cable needed.
I installed the module and cable and everything works great. Installed the driver and now my bluetooth button works as it should.
Here is the link to the place where I bought the module from:
i have had my laptop for a few wks now and keep tryin to work out whether it is bluetooth or not. if i press the bluetooth button on my laptop i see the message no device. last night i read notes to do with another laptop and followed the link to the acer website and tried to download the bluetooth drivers for my pc. when i downloaded the utility to my laptop i get the following msg "no bluetooth device was connected. please makesure that your bluetooth device is plugged in properly in order to continue installation" does this mean i need to physically plug something into my laptop or is my laptop not bluetooth afterall. how can i find out.

Megan and Grace Phelps-Roper surprised the world last year when they announced that they had left the Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church, the fiery group known for protesting against gays and at U.S. military funerals.
In an interview with the Jewish Journal, Megan, 28, admitted that the two are still coping with their decision to leave the church — one that has left them cut-off and ostracized from their family members.
“We both still feel pretty lost,” she said. “But we’re getting there. The journey is incredible.”
After years of picketing along side her mother, Shirley Phelps-Roper, and other family members at Westboro, Megan now lives in South Dakota and is dating a young man, the Journal reported.
Grace, 21, struggles with the concept of God, telling the outlet that she’s not sure if he exists. The confusion follows her experiences with Westboro Baptist Church — a religious sect she had known for her entire life.
While Grace, who hopes to one day work for National Geographic, moved back to Topeka to complete her degree in studio art, Megan is still uncertain of what she wants to do professionally. For now, they’re still journeying.
Last year, the sisters stunned the world when they announced in a statement that they had officially left the church.
Considering that Megan and Grace are the grandchildren of Fred Phelps, the man who became infamous as an anti-gay crusader after launching his Westboro “ministry” decades ago, their separation was noteworthy.
At the time Megan wrote:
“In a city in a state in the center of a country lives a group of people who believe they are the center of the universe; they know Right and Wrong, and they are Right. They work hard and go to school and get married and have kids who they take to church and teach that continually protesting the lives, deaths, and daily activities of The World is the only genuine statement of compassion that a God-loving human can sincerely make. As parents, they are attentive and engaged, and the children learn their lessons well.
This is my framework.
Until very recently, this is what I lived, breathed, studied, believed, preached – loudly, daily, and for nearly 27 years.”
The letter also acknowledged that the two know they have hurt the American people with their protesting, a fact they regret. But the note essentially embraced the notion that the past is the past, despite how ugly.
Megan and Grace said they were intent on trying “to find a better way to live from here on.” It seems they are now living that out.

- Research Focus
Master of Philosophy (Surgery), The University of Adelaide: commenced February 2021
Thesis title: Ecological interactions between fungal and bacterial elements in chronic rhinosinusitis
Supervisors: Professor Alkis Psaltis, Professor PJ Wormald and Associate Professor Sarah Vreugde
James is an Adelaide based doctor with a strong interest in ENT. He most recently worked as an ENT service registrar at Modbury Hospital (2020.) In 2021 he is undertaking a Master of Philosophy (Surgery) at the Basil Hetzel Institute with the ENT research department. His research focus will be in the field of fungal and bacterial interactions in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis.
Fungi is an established and ubiquitous organism in the sinus ecosystem. It has been implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis, at least within a clinical subset of individuals with severe disease. Our research will explore the interactions between aspergillus and staphylococcus to determine the existence of a synergistic or inhibitory relationship. Building on previous research within the ENT research group, we hope to determine whether cross-kingdom interactions between these ubiquitous sinonasal organisms have a pathological role in chronic rhinosinusitis.

I hate to say I told you so…actually, that’s not true. In this case, it was sadly obvious that it would happen, but the general attitude of the whole OS/Free Software crowd is still to claim the earth is flat when it comes to Malware.
Interested readers might like to Google my EICAR paper from 2002 called “The Emperor’s New Clothes: Linux and the myth of a virus free operating system”.
There I discussed that the very thing that makes the OSS model work is also its greatest weakness, there’s little control, little QA, and 99% of the time proletariat downloading a package won’t check it (nor would most be competent to), so it’s very easy to insert malware. It’s very likely there is a lot more malware out there lurking in small fringe packages such as the one mentioned in the OMGUbuntu article.
The fact is that with the rise ofthe netbook, Linux becomes a more desirable platform to attack, and at the moment, it’s way too easy. After all, who needs anti-malware software on Linux?

Re-writing the story of my life and working to find my new happiness is an interesting journey. I’ve changed directions many times, desperately searching for God’s will and divine purpose; all the while clinging desperately to the parts of my life that make me happy. Happiness is one of those arbitrary attributes that everyone seems to think they deserve. An invisible “feeling bubble” that is supposed to encompass us because we breathe in and breathe out. Happiness has become a demand. An entitlement. Something we create out of thin air and post on social media to convince ourselves that we are, indeed, happy. I look at the world and see so many, like myself, searching high and low for “happy.”
I was on a train bound for this magical place called “happy” when the train veered off course, crashed and burned, and sent me spiraling as far from the tracks as possible. After licking my wounds and wandering around aimlessly for awhile, I started working towards pasteing myself back together and uncovering the ever elusive, “happy.” Armed with the word of God, the stubbornness of my mother, and the persistence of my father; I set out on a solo journey towards happiness.
And so far, you know what I have discovered? A long list of things that DON’T make me happy. Frankly, I’m disgruntled that a hard working gal, such as myself, is having such difficulties securing “happy.” Dating seems like a ridiculous notion, finding a place to call “home” is proving to be much harder than I thought, and my work is the most inconsistently consistent thing about my life. I DON’T like the ambiguity. I DON’T like being a misplaced person. I DON’T like the constant rejection of it all. These are just a few of the things that DON’T make me happy.
I also DON’T like feeling like I’m not being heard. I DON’T like feeling under-valued. I DON’T like feeling that I have to constantly defend my choices. Heck, I DON’T like feeling so deeply. I’m sick of all the feelings. Every. Last. Feeling. I’m over myself. I’m sick of hearing, “So, what are you going to do now?” You wanna know what I’m gonna do now? Eat a taco. Tacos are something I like. I can get behind a taco. That’s about as far ahead as I can count on life to work out…dinner plans.
Where is this crazy happiness that you all seem to have figured out? Seriously. I’m open to suggestions. But let me tell you something else I DON’T like…manufactured happy. I DON’T want filtered, watered down, had to sell my soul for this fake smile “happy.” I DON’T want the emptiness that comes with living a life my Savior wouldn’t be proud of. I DON’T want to lose the best parts of me, the parts I love the most. The bow-wearing, cheese loving, southern slang saying, card writing parts of me that may not add up to happy, but they add up to Katherine.
Wouldn’t that be the tragedy? In the search for universal happy, we lose the unique threads that make up our souls. I wish I was thinner. I wish I had my own little family. I wish I had acting contracts lined up for years to come. I wish I had a place to call my own. If I had all those things, would I be happy? Would my faith still be strong? Would my relationship with Christ still be the center of my life? Would I wake up every day hoping others saw God’s love in me? Or would that take a backseat to my earthly idea of “happy?” And when you put it that way, haven’t I been happy all along?
So, maybe this is an opportunity to take a rain check on the worldly “happy party.” Let others race around on the “happy” scavenger hunt. I’ll be eating a taco.
John 1:10 “He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him.”
One thought on “Day 479”
Reading this made me happy, brought a smile to my soul! I think I’ll join you with that taco.

The agreement will give Bede the ability to offer its clients access to iovation services to ensure the highest possible levels of security via a proven suite of device-based services.

Duane Burcham, Senior Sales & Business Development at iovation, said, "The gaming industry is subject to some of the most sophisticated fraud techniques in the world, so it is vital that operators stay one step ahead by using the very latest tools to ensure a safe and secure environment for their players.

A vicious line of questioning by Peter Doocy about gas prices has gone viral yet again, leaving the white house press secretary fumbling.
Fight fake news with the truth everyday. Arm yourself, tap subscribe, enable notifications and fight back with Next News Network.
In this video, we’re going to take a look at the epic takedown of Karine Jean-Pierre by Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy. As you know, Biden has been making the rounds trying to convince people that he has a plan to reduce gas prices. Well, Doocy wasn’t having any of it and absolutely demolished them in front of the entire country. Stay tuned for this one
Daily wire reports. During Wednesday’s daily briefing, Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy grilled Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, asking why President Joe Biden thought gas companies would assist his administration if he wanted to put them out of business.
In response to the president’s announcement that he planned to sell additional oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) and buy it back once crude prices dropped to $70 a barrel, Doocy asked Jean-Pierre the question on everyone’s mind.
This exchange follows Bidens recent attempts to manipulate oil prices ahead of the midterm elections.
Next News Network reported. As the Biden administration attempts to stabilize markets and ease gas prices for consumers, President Biden has announced the release of 15 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve on Wednesday. In March, the Biden administration announced a 180 million-barrel drawdown from the country’s emergency stockpile – the largest and fastest release since 1971.
Doocy’s truth left Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre speechless as she has issues dealing with truth. We have seen KJP change the literary or textbook definitions of words to make Biden look better, yet as Doocy questioned why President Joe Biden thought gas companies would assist his administration if he wanted to put them out of business, KJP was left with having to read from her pre-written responses. Trump has been a strong advocate for domestic oil production and has repeatedly said that Biden’s energy policy would destroy the American economy. Turns out yet again, Trump was right. Gas prices have gone way up since Biden took office, the blame can only sit on Biden. Many experts are right to believe that this could hurt the Democrats in the midterm elections. Trump and other Republicans have already started to use this issue to attack Biden, calling him a “failure” and saying that he is “destroying our country.” It remains to be seen how this issue will play out in the midterms, however Polls point to a red wave, but it is clear that Trump and Republicans are not going to let Biden get away with his failed energy policy.
Let’s continue this conversation, in the comments below.

As we began to make our way up the chute, the climbing stayed drama free. It was exactly what it looked like from below, fun and cruiser. We could see a trio of climbers below us in the distance below looking up at us. Below I knew it, I could feel the sun cresting over the ridge above. A few kicks later, looking over my left shoulder I could see the Wy’east ridge to the summit soaring up above us. “Woahhhhhh, Jess, this is beautiful! When you get up here look over your left shoulder!” [...]
Last year Jessica and I had so many failed attempts at the Devils Kitchen Headwall that we ended up deeming just uttering its name to be unlucky. The fails were not climbing fails, per se... forgetting our boots at home, seriously bad ice fall conditions, etc. By the time we actually managed to give it a shot, it was in condition thin enough that I didn’t deem reasonable to climb half-way through. I bailed off an extremely sketchy screw placement in aerated ice and called it a season for the Headwall. [...]
We followed the traces of our boot pack from 2 days prior, almost completely erased by the constant spindrift. The snow was a ton more stable and far less of a pain in the ass to break trail through. (That wouldn’t last.) We pretty quickly realized that we didn’t do much research about the route, the lower section of which proved to be far longer than expected. [...]
I met Jessica this last summer in the Cordillera Blanca. Our relationship kindled quickly, and a few months later she moved here to Seattle from Montreal. As they would say- the rest was history. I guess we could say that this would be the start of our climbing history. I believe that the definition of [...]
This Andean-esq rhyme clad committing route deserves to be climbed alpine style. We planned to simul-climb the entirety of the 2,000’ face, armed with a rack of screws, pickets, and a couple tiblocks for running protection. We knew that with the long warm days there would be falling ice. We would have to beat the sun before allowing it to bake the upper south west face so an early start and climbing speed would be a big factor.[...]
The North Face has been especially appealing to me. The face is really defined by two significant gullies running almost completely from bottom to top, reminiscent of some sort of double barreled musket. It’s the sort of feature one would should really only climb when conditions are solid, otherwise it would be a game of bullet dodging. [...]
I had always wanted to climb the Leuthold Couloir, an apparent Pacific Northwest classic, but being a grade II climb I just never really got around to it. When we saw a 2 day weather window open up, we made the call to shoot for the Leuthold Couloir with a camp at Illumination Rock. It would be a little easy, but hey, it’s supposed to be a classic.[...]
The Pearly Gates route is a route usually deemed for beginners during the spring and summer. However, when undertaken during the winter, the route really takes on an elevated level of seriousness. Trail breaking, steep hard blue ice, and high winds, all make for what I consider a Cascade classic.

The Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission recently took a number of regulatory measures against GP to realize Tk12,579.95 crore in government dues
The net profit of leading mobile phone operator Grameenphone plunged by Tk116.40 crore in the July-September period compared to the same period of last year as regulatory actions weighed on its expected growth.
According to GP’s financial statement, the net profit of the company was Tk843.28 crore in third quarter of last year which came down to Tk726.88 crore in the same quarter this year.
“We continued to deliver a solid business performance in the third quarter despite a very challenging regulatory environment. We have been affected by the halt on No Objection Certificates (NOCs) from our regulator. However, 99.5% of the total population is covered by Grameenphone’s network, while 69% of the total population is under our 4G network,” GP chief executive officer Michael Patrick Foley said in a press release on Monday.
“While voice revenue continues to grow, we witnessed a healthy growth in data revenue, along with growth in usage. 53.7% of our total sub-base are now data customers,” he added.
The earnings per share of GP also declined by Tk0.84 to Tk5.38 in the July-September period from Tk6.25 in the same period of the previous year.
On Monday, the price of GP shares dropped by 1.32% or Tk4.2 in the premium bourse Dhaka Stock Exchange.
As of August, GP’s total number of subscribers was 7.56 crore among the 16.25 crore mobile phone users in the country.
The Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission recently took a number of regulatory measures against GP to realize Tk12,579.95 crore in government dues.
In July the telecom regulator temporarily slashed GP’s bandwidth by 30% and also barred the operator from rolling out new packages or services, or import network equipment to pressure them into clearing their dues.
The BTRC also issued show cause notice for license cancellation of the company last month and after reviewing GP’s reply, last week the government decided to appoint administrator to the company.
After running an audit on the Norway based company GP, the BTRC in 2016 claimed Tk12,579.95 crore from GP in taxes and late fees accumulated over several years.
The BTRC ran its first audit back in 2011 on GP, and found financial discrepancies amounting to Tk3,034 crore in the operator's books from its inception in 1996 through to March 2011.
Grameenphone then disputed the appointment process of the auditing firm, and after a court ruling the BTRC in October 2015 appointed another firm, Toha Khan Zaman & Co, to run a new audit on GP’s books from its inception until June 2015.
GP officials claimed that the methodology in the particular issue of the BTRC were questionable.
The High Court, however, last week issued an ad-interim injunction for two months against the realization of Tk 12,579.95 crore from GP by BTRC.
The HC bench of Justice AKM Abdul Hakim and Justice Fatima Nazib passed the order.

Anti-women, anti-life lawmakers in Mississippi are upset that they will no longer go down in history as the first state in the country to force women who are raped by their fathers to have the baby. A Mississippi House Committee has voted to ban all abortions, with an exception to save the life of the woman. If this bill passes, it will kill many more women than it will "save." There are no exceptions for rape or incest:

Though the Republican Party's war on women has had many fronts, its latest is South Dakota, the first state to openly defy
Roe v. Wade in the hopes that the battle will soon move to a more anti-choice-friendly Supreme Court. There, the battle for the future will begin in earnest.
What I've said before bears repeating. If we Democrats aren't willing to stand up and fight for a woman's right to choose, for a pro-choice, pro-child point-of-view that fully educates women and young people about reproductive issues - including contraception and abortion - then who will?
The real question, therefore, is this: When the battle begins, whose side will you be on? Will you be ready to fight, tooth and nail, for women? For what's right? For our values?

How could a bill like this pass in any state in this country? This "abortion ban" bill gives parental rights to rapists. How sick is that?

With all eyes still on Dick and his gun, a lot of stories are falling thru the cracks. Unfortunately, stories about women's issues (I know they aren't just women's issues) are often ignored altogether.
A new study by the World Association for Christian Communication, a non-governmental organization that promotes communication for social change, found that while women make up 52 percent of the world's population, they make up only 21 percent of news subjects. The findings are based on news items appearing on a single day (Feb. 16, 2005). Almost 13,000 news items were surveyed on that day in 76 countries.
Here's an overview. I try to do this daily at StoriesinAmerica.

The move will help reduce debts at Spanish construction group Ferrovial, which paid £10.6billion for BAA 18 months ago.
World Duty Free takes in 58 stores selling duty-free products at BAA’s seven UK airports, including Heathrow and Gatwick. It has 1,900 staff and serves 62million customers a year.
The business is being bought by Italy’s Autogrill, which last year acquired UK airport shops and restaurant operator Alpha Airports.
In a separate deal, Autogrill is paying £200 million to Imperial Tobacco, its 49 per cent partner in Aldeasa, operator of 273 shops in 44 airports around the world.
Imperial inherited the stake when it took over Franco-Spanish cigarette maker Altadis last year.
The two deals make Autogrill the world’s biggest airport shops operator with more than 5,200 outlets in 42 countries.
Ferrovial has been selling off non-core businesses and will use the proceeds to help refinance BAA debt.

Reading this short article led to some soul-searching. Which kind of person was I at dinner last night — and which am I fundamentally? Does being good partners in promiscuous social conversation make us shallow? Does applying the Ignatian principle of suiting the conversation to the company risk making one a unmoored sophisticate? Is it not possible to be fruitfully committed to, say, music and literature while still being able to range freely in the interests of other people? What about the people who say, “Oh, you’re a musician. We must talk about music,” whether we want to talk about music with them or not?

November 13, 2010
Most discussions of Olivier Messiaen quickly turn to the subject of color, since his was an extreme instance of synesthesia. As a musician with a moderate degree of red-green color-blindness, I’ve long been interested in how my condition might affect the perception of music. Though Messiaen’s linking of color and tone was far more radical than mine, the general question of color is to some extent transferable among our senses (as when we speak of “loud” colors, for example). My own color-blindness is of a sort in which I see all the colors as different (and my pallet is extremely satisfying and my taste not noticeably different from the norm), but it has been proven to me scientifically that my colors are not your colors. My curiosity about the way one sense affects another is enhanced by the fact that the best musician of my acquaintance is completely color-blind but has the absolutest of absolute pitch. Since he’s also a student of Homer, I have often thought of them both as I recall sunsets over the Mediterranean (a passion of mine) and my conviction that Homer’s wine-dark sea really does look like wine at a certain moment in the process. Now I stumble on this interview in the Paris Review, from which I quote:
What’s the best explanation for Homer’s describing honey as green, oxen as wine-colored, and iron as violet? And why did the natives of Murray Island call the sky black, of all colors!
Well, as for the first question, I can’t explain it better than William Ewart Gladstone did one hundred and fifty years ago: “Colours were for Homer not facts but images: his words describing them are figurative words, borrowed from natural objects. There was no fixed terminology of colour; and it lay with the genius of each true poet to choose a vocabulary for himself.” For Homer, the word that ended up meaning “green” meant something like “fresh” or “pale,” and could be applied with perfect sense to fresh and pale looking things of both green and yellow hue. The distinction in hue between yellow and green was not one that seemed very important in his day. Similarly, in many cultures “blue” is just considered a particular shade of black, and finding a particular name for this particular shade is not a very pressing matter, especially as blue material objects (as opposed to the vast nothingness of sky or even the sea) are extremely rare in nature. So it makes perfect sense, if some nagging anthropologist comes to question you about the color of the sky, to use the nearest color on your palette, and say “black.”
The book under discussion there deals with the idea that color-perception is as much a cultural matter as the perception of music is. The romance of music as a “universal language” has long since been debunked, but it seems that color is also unstable from culture to culture.
And it just occurs to me that, since my variety of genetic color-blindness is common in males and not present in females (though inherited through the mother), the effects of any links between color and music would also vary, not just from individual to individual and culture to culture, but between the sexes as well.

As noted by David Li and scores of others, one of the central preoccupations of continent earth studies since its instauration in the late sixties has been how to delineate Asian America. Two assumptions cause this long-standing carping discourse: first, that the label, which is almost universally acknowledged to be disproportionate to the experiences of Asians living in the United States, can nevertheless capture the state of groups and individuals who mightiness otherwise be unheeded or marginalized, and second, that the calculation of Asian America is useful and perhaps even necessary in brawling for the opinion clarity of the respective groups and communities that it claims to represent. Thus, the questions encompassing how to define asiatic land are truly questions some inclusion: who can be counted in [End Page 182] Asian America, and how can these eastern Americans be integrated into the US trunk politic?

The ongoing legal case between M&S and Interflora has finally been settled, with the high court ruling in favour of Interflora. M&S have been embroiled in a legal battle with the flower company since 2008, due to their use of the term Interflora within their Google Adwords campaigns. M&S have been advertising their flowers and gifts website using Interflora’s brand name to attract consumers, which has infringed on Interflora’s trademark.
Justice Arnold said: The M&S advertisements which are the subject of interflora’s claim did not enable reasonably well informed and reasonably attentive internet users to ascertain whether the service referred to in the advertisements originated from [M&S or Interflora]…On the contrary, as at 6 May 2008, a significant proportion of the consumers who searched for “interflora” and the other signs, and then clicked on M&S’s advertisements displayed in response to those searches, were led to believe, incorrectly, that M&S’s flower delivery was part of the interflora network”.
The decision which has been passed is good news for Interflora. It means that when a consumer clicks on an “Interflora” ad, they can be confident that they’re getting their product directly from the Interflora network. As keyword advertising within Google is so powerful, it’s unfair for a company to cash in on another brands term and direct them somewhere else, thus grabbing their potential customers. As a result, the case will return to court later to determine how much M&S must pay in damages to Interflora.
