Water heaters should be flushed every one to three years depending on the model and water source. Sediment buildup in the tank can reduce your water heater's energy efficiency and also clog your water lines. Avoid these problems and increase the life of your unit by flushing the tank.
How To Flush the Tank
Turn off the electricity to the water heater or turn off the gas to extinguish the pilot. Shut off the cold-water inlet to the water heater.
Connect a garden hose to the tank's drain valve. Locate the draining end of the hose in an area that won't be adversely affected by the scalding hot water.
With the pressure relief valve open, open the drain valve and allow the tank to drain completely. Completely draining the tank ensures that you've removed all of the sediment possible.
Close the tank drain valve, disconnect the hose from the valve and close the pressure relief valve. Open all the hot-water spigots in the house, and turn on the cold-water inlet to the tank.
Close each hot-water spigot as water begins to flow from it. After all the spigots are closed, turn on the electricity to the water heater, or turn the gas switch to run.

Romualdez: Budget Ok to create more jobs
Ensure food security
THE House of Representatives starts hearings Friday on the proposed P5.268-trillion 2023 “Agenda for Prosperity” national budget.
Deliberations on the first full-year budget proposal of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. begins with a briefing to be given by members of the Development Budget Coordination Committee (DBCC) on the state of the economy and the macro-economic parameters the executive branch used in putting together next year’s spending program.
To be briefed are House leaders led by Speaker Martin Romualdez and members of the committee on appropriations.
To do the briefing are Budget Secretary Amenah Pangandaman, Finance Secretary Benjamin Diokno, Secretary Arsenio Balisacan of the National Economic and Development Authority, and Gov. Felipe Medalla of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.
The House launches the budget deliberation process four days after the President, through Budget Secretary Pangandaman, presented the proposed outlay to Congress.
Speaker Romualdez has assured his colleagues and the nation that the House, in considering and approving the 2023 national budget, would “effectively respond to the needs of the people, especially in addressing the continued impact of the health crisis, and in creating more jobs and ensuring food security.”
He also said the budget process would be transparent.
“The budget will be product of the entire House of Representatives, where the majority will listen to the minority’s concerns and of source, we as the representatives of the people, will also be attuned to their needs. This budget basically represents the hope of the future and the agenda for prosperity in the country this coming 2023,” Romualdez said.
He said the House would make sure that “every centavo of the national budget will be spent wisely to implement programs that would save lives, protect communities and make our economy strong and more agile.”
The Speaker added that the House would approve the proposed budget on or before September 30.
Congress is scheduled to go on its first recess on October 1. The break will last up to November 6.
According to Marikina City Rep. Stella Quimbo, senior vice chairperson of the committee on appropriations, the panel chaired by Ako Bicol Party-list Rep. Zaldy Co is aiming to finish its hearings by September 16.
That would give the House two weeks for plenary discussions and approval of the proposed 2023 budget, she said.
Next year’s outlay is 4.9 percent higher or P244 billion more than this year’s P5.024 trillion.
Based on budget documents, the spending proposal targets to implement an eight-point agenda: food security, improved transportation, affordable and clean energy, social services, health care, face-to-face education, bureaucratic efficiency, and sound fiscal management.
“The agriculture sector will receive a substantial increase of 39.2 percent, with a total proposed budget of P184.1 billion, to ensure food security and agricultural productivity,” according to the DBM.
It said a total of P1.2 trillion is allocated for “shovel-ready” infrastructure projects under the Marcos administration’s Build Better More Program, “to propel growth in agriculture, trade and tourism sectors and eventually reduce transportation and logistics costs.”
The education sector will get the highest allocation of P852.8 billion, while the health sector will receive P296.3 billion.

Men's Golf | Saturday, April 5, 2014
Bearcats Hold Second Place after Windy First Day at NWC Spring Classic
Kukula and Lamothe are Both Tied for Sixth Place
KENNEWICK, WASH. -- With two golfers tied for sixth place and another tied for 10th, the Willamette University men's golf team ended the first day of the Northwest Conference Spring Classic in second place in the team standings. The Bearcats responded to the very windy conditions at Canyon Lakes Golf Course with a solid round.
Ryan Kukula (Jr., Ocean Park, WA/Ilwaco HS) and Chase Lamothe (Fr., Corvallis, OR/Corvallis HS) were tied with two other golfers for sixth place with scores of 78. Clark Wilson (Fr., Ocean Park, WA/Ilwaco HS) owned half of a two-way tie for 10th after carding a 79.
Also golfing for the Bearcats were Steven Rodriguez (So., Red Bluff, CA/Mercy HS) and Peter Mitzel (Fr., Red Bluff, CA/Red Bluff HS). Rodriguez carded an 81, while Mitzel registered an 82.
Whitworth University owned a 12-shot lead in the team standings after the Pirates shot a combined score of 304. Willamette's score in second place was 316, which gave the Bearcats a three-stroke cushion over the University of Puget Sound, which held third place at 319. Pacific Lutheran University was fourth at 321.
Linfield College was next in fifth place at 326, while Whitman College was sixth at 338. Pacific University filled seventh place at 339, just one stroke behind Whitman. Lewis & Clark College was eighth at 356 and George Fox University was ninth at 372.
Oliver Rudnicki of Whitworth was the one player who mastered the weather conditions on Saturday, as he achieved an even-par 72 for a four-stroke lead. Two of his Whitworth teammates, Stephen Plopper and Jesse Salzwedel, were tied for second place at 76.
Another pair of golfers -- Dustin Hegge of Pacific Lutheran and Joshua Mau of Pacific -- matched each other in fourth place with 77s. Kukula and Lamothe were tied for sixth at 78, along with Ben Hayes from Puget Sound and Daniel Hoffman from Whitman.
Wilson was joined in 10th place by Adam Bean of Puget Sound, who also shot a 79.
The NWC Spring Classic will conclude with the final round on Sunday, April 6, starting at 8 a.m. (PDT). The Spring Classic counts for one-fourth of the overall NWC Championship, while the NWC Fall Classic, which Willamette won in October, counts for another fourth.
One-half of the NWC title is determined by the NWC Tournament, set for April 26-27 at the Oregon Golf Association Golf Course in Woodburn, Ore.

If you’ve ever experienced a bout of dizziness, you’re not alone.
In fact, more than 40% of Americans will experience an episode of dizziness sometime during their lives that is significant enough to send them to a doctor, according the National Institutes of Health.
And while dizziness can throw you off balance, once a cause is determined, it can often be treated.
At Princeton Rehabilitation, a division of Penn Medicine Princeton Health, physical therapists with specialized training evaluate and treat dizziness, vertigo and loss of balance associated with inner ear or neurological dysfunction.
Common in Older Adults
The terms dizziness and vertigo are often used interchangeably. However, there are slight differences between the two.
Dizziness is characterized by feelings of lightheadedness, faintness or unsteadiness. Vertigo is described as feeling as if you or your surroundings are spinning.
Both, however, can cause you to feel off balance and impact your daily activities as well as increase the risk for falls.
In addition, older adults are more susceptible to dizziness and vertigo, with 80% of people aged 65 years and older having experienced dizziness at some point, according the Vestibular Disorders Association.
A Wide Range of Causes
Dizziness can be caused by a wide variety of conditions ranging from dehydration to cardiovascular problems to certain neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis and stroke.
Dizziness – and more often vertigo – can also be linked to a problem with the vestibular system, which comprises the parts of the inner ear and brain that process the sensory information involved with controlling balance.
Common vestibular disorders include:
- Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), a condition in which the small calcium particles in the inner ear become displaced and disrupt the inner ear balance sensors, causing brief, intense dizziness when you change the position of your head. BPPV is the cause of approximately 50% of dizziness in older people, according to the Vestibular Disorders Association.
- Ménière’s disease, which involves abnormal pressure in the ear due to a change in fluid volume in the inner ear. Symptoms of Ménière’s disease include intense vertigo, hearing loss, nausea, tinnitus and a feeling of fullness in the ear. The disease normally affects only one ear.
- Labyrinthitis and vestibular neuritis, inflammations caused by a viral infection.
- Orthopedic problems such as inflammation in the joints of the neck or jaw or a muscle imbalance in those areas can put pressure on the vestibular nerve and interfere with the vestibular system.
Physical Therapy Can Help
The first step in treating dizziness and vertigo is determining the cause of the condition by testing the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, vestibular, visual and sensory systems.
Once a diagnosis is reached, specific exercises and physical therapy techniques, available through Princeton Rehabilitation, can help alleviate dizziness, vertigo and other symptoms that can lead to falls.
Treatment may include balance training, visual exercises to help stabilize balance and, in cases of BPPV, a specialized equilibrium realignment technique known as the Epley maneuver to return the inner ear crystals to their normal positions.
Physical therapy can also help strengthen muscles and improve joint flexibility so patients are better able to maintain balance.
Additionally, therapists at Princeton Rehabilitation may provide instruction for how to adapt daily living activities such as bending forward to retrieve an object from the floor or turning your head to look at something while walking to prevent dizziness and vertigo.
Tips For Maintaining Balance
If you experience regular episodes of dizziness or vertigo, see your doctor. Ignoring symptoms could lead to more serious complications, including falls.
One of the best ways to maintain balance and prevent falls is through regular physical exercise to help you stay strong.
Moreover, the National Institutes of Aging offers these tips:
- Have your eyes and hearing tested often. Always wear your glasses when you need them. If you have a hearing aid, be sure it fits well, and wear it.
- Ask about the side effects of your medications. If a drug makes you sleepy or dizzy, tell your doctor or pharmacist.
- Get enough sleep. If you’re sleepy, you’re more likely to fall.
- Limit the amount of alcohol you drink. Even a small amount can affect balance and reflexes.
- Stand up slowly after eating, lying down or sitting. Getting up too quickly can cause your blood pressure to drop, which can make you feel faint.
- Wear rubber-soled, low-heeled shoes that fully support your feet. Wearing only socks or shoes/slippers with smooth soles on stairs or floors without carpet can be unsafe.

Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford has predicted that latest album Redeemer Of Souls will eventually be seen as “one of the greatest metal records ever made.”
He believes their 17th studio outing demonstrates a strong sense of purpose, and that means it’ll stand the test of time.
It gave Priest the third-best UK chart position of their career on release last month, leading the singer to confirm it wouldn’t be their last record.
Halford tells Rock Cellar: “I think, 10 years from now, this will be revered. I don’t say that lightly. Knowing how everything works, it feels that good.”
And if younger bands are inspired to take Priest’s latest ideas and run with them, the singer has no problem with that – as long as it helps them find their own way.
“In today’s metal world you hear the expression ‘cookie cutter,’ which is a bit insulting,” he says. “It’s about finding your originality. Most people understand that, to get ahead in rock’n’roll, you’ve got to do something that somebody else hasn’t done before. That’s very, very difficult.
“The overall state and condition of metal is phenomenal. It started with two bands, Priest and Sabbath and now look at it. Remarkable.”
Priest have confirmed a run of North American tour dates starting in October, but haven’t yet announced any UK or European appearances.

Orthodontic treatments are used to straighten out crooked and overlapping teeth. Braces can be also used to close a gap between two teeth and improve jaw problems, such as overbites and underbites.
Ideally, it’s best to begin orthodontic treatment for kids between the ages of 10 and 14, but patients can get braces at any age, including well into adulthood. Beginning at a younger age when a child’s mouth is still developing makes it easier to straighten their teeth, and we offer affordable dental braces.
If our dentists believe a patient could benefit from orthodontic care, we will make a professional recommendation to see our orthodontists for a full dental examination. Call (832) 844-3571 today to learn more about our orthodontists and how you could benefit from orthodontic care.

Magic for Liars has a very cool cover, but I think it led me astray. I was expecting something a bit more dynamic based on that design and the book’s excellent title, but the resulting story was only competent and a bit unexciting. I did like the book well enough, and would definitely be game for reading work by Sarah Gailey – I’ve seen raves for just about everything they’ve ever written – but maybe I’d prefer the ones about carnivorous hippos?
Mawrth Valliis by EPHK has a gimmick: all of the dialog is in the “original Martian”, so you have to infer the story from the illustrations. However, nothing in the book itself actually explains the conceit; instead, all context is left to whatever marketing materials you’ve read before cracking the cover.
Sticking with a recent theme, Black Star is minimalist sci-fi, focusing on characters caught in a deadly conflict. In this case, my favorite part of the book was the art. The story was straightforward enough, but the main character spends all her time doing terrible things for the sake of no one but herself.
I think I experienced a bit of synesthesia while reading In by Will McPhail.
The book is largely done in sketch-like black and white, the characters little more than outlines on a white background, except for moments when Nick, the main character, experiences real human connection. As soon as he makes that connection, the pages burst into fully painted, dynamic scenes, and I oftentimes felt like I could hear the sounds of crashing waves or the swell of some imaginary film score in my head. It made the whole thing quite extraordinary.
Sarah Anderson is best known for her Sarah’s Scribbles web comics, where a big-eyed, spiky-haired version of herself deals with introversion, anxiety, and the vagaries of modern life in a humorous, relatable way. Those strips are the exact sort of thing that people love to share on social media.
When I heard about her new book, Fangs, I was intrigued because it sounded so different from her oftentimes silly work in Sarah’s Scribbles.
When I read about Delas Heras’ debut, The Intergalactic Interloper, it sounded like a perfect change of pace from the world outside.
It’s a short book, humorous if not laugh-out-loud funny, and charming in a gentle, nostalgic way.
The action begins in the distant past of New York City 1995, a place and time that feels comforting purely because it is a quarter of a century and thousands of miles away from where I am right now.
I’ve never read any of the classic Nancy comics, but her look is iconic. I feel like I could identify a Nancy comic from across the room by the shape of Nancy’s head alone. The fact that those comics were ubiquitous enough to become iconic but passé enough that I’d never read any of them is a fascinating contradiction.
Golems from Jewish folklore have always fascinated me, with their heads full of instructions written on a life-giving scroll. A golem is both the creation myth in miniature and a way to codify magic, a sort of early computer programming where the processors are clay giants. It’s strangely comforting to imagine that human beings could control the world in such a fashion, while also terrifying to imagine the many ways it could go wrong.
In Reincarnation Blues, Milo is the ultimate slacker. He’s lived thousands of lives, but he still hasn’t reached perfection. Instead, he just wants to spend his time in the afterlife with his girlfriend, Susie, who also happens to be one of the incarnations of death. They’ve been together for more than eight thousand years, give or take, and Milo’s primary goal in the afterlife is avoiding transcending to the oversoul so that he can spend eternity watching TV on a couch with Susie.

Using computer-aided design (CAD) software is the first step to creating a physical part made by a CNC machine. The CAD software creates highly detailed 3D models. However, they don’t instruct the CNC machine how to operate to make the part you want. Here are some essential steps to take when you’re getting your CAD model ready for a CNC machine.
The first step requires getting the CAD file into a format the CNC machine can recognize. G-code, also known as RS-274, is the most widely used programming language for CNC machines. Sometimes, you’ll need to convert the file into a G-code language. For example, DXF is a CAD file format developed by Autodesk. It works well for sharing drawings. But, the primary downside is that most CNC machines cannot read it.
Fortunately, free file conversion exists to help. The Standard for the Exchange of Product Data or STEP format is a widely used file format that works with CNC machines. It is a vendor-neutral file format, and many CAD programs offer this file type as an export option.
However, you may also see three versions of STEP in your program, or AP203, AP214 and AP242. AP242 is generally accepted as the best option of the three. It’s the latest version of the STEP standard and will show your item in high detail. Another thing to note is that AP203 does not show colors.
There’s also Initial Graphics Exchange Specification or IGES. It’s an older standard, last updated in 1980. It is another format not tied to a particular vendor. One consideration is that IGES files are typically larger than those in the STEP format. That could be a concern for people sending their files through email.
It’s highly likely that the company you choose for CNC machining will convert your file into STEP anyway. Selecting it as your file type from the start allows you to check them before the final uploading, ensuring there are no conversion errors.
In many cases, people need to make CNC technical drawings while getting their CAD models ready. These documents show the dimensions and other specifics that are not always evident from the CAD model alone.
A CNC technical drawing is necessary if:
Even if the component does not fit into the above categories, it’s still a good idea to include a technical drawing. That’s because the CNC machinist can use it as a reference, increasing the chances of great results.
There’s even at least one company that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to interpret technical drawings. That approach works in cases where there is not an accompanying CAD model, too.
However, consider your options carefully if you’re thinking about using a provider that relies on AI to study the technical drawing or any other part of the process. AI algorithms typically need vast amounts of data to work well. One AI model developed by Google got trained on 1.2 million data points.
Take a detail-oriented approach with your technical drawing. For example, if the part has hidden geometries, think about adding sectional cutaways that show the internal specifics. Make sure to identify the size and location of all threads. Also, bear in mind that the standard tolerance will likely be ±.125 millimeters, so you’ll need to specify any desired tolerances requiring more precision.
One of the biggest advantages of CAD files is that they allow for smooth communication between parties. Besides looking at a file in its current state, authorized people can view the changelog and see what has been done since they last viewed it. That capability minimizes confusion and mistakes by keeping everyone on the same page.
3D CAD models are also typically easier for people to understand if they don’t have technical backgrounds. Although engineering and design teams are well-versed in deciphering traditional drawings, that’s not usually true for others, such as C-suite members or people on marketing or sales teams.
It’s a good idea to let all stakeholders see the latest version of the CNC model and get their approval before sending it to a CNC provider. That way, you’re setting expectations and giving everyone a chance to provide feedback.
At this stage in the process, people are ready to contact CNC providers and see what kind of pricing they can offer. Fortunately, many companies have online quote request forms, which streamline communications. Some of them even provide instant results, depending on the inputted information.
However, you’ll need to know a few more pieces of information to make things go smoothly during these communications. For example, how many parts do you need produced and in what timeframe? What’s your chosen material? These factors will help determine how much you pay.
Several things are also within your control to reduce the overall cost. For example, a high machinability of the chosen material keeps expenses down. The same is true if you have only one finish for the part rather than several different ones in certain areas.
Specifying tight tolerances is another thing that will drive up your overall project costs. That’s because they require more machining time and manual inspections. If your part has holes, choosing a standard drill bit diameter will keep the costs down, too. Otherwise, the CNC machinist will need to spend more time crafting a less common hole size.
If it’s feasible for your project, consider ordering the CNC-machined parts in bulk. That approach can significantly reduce prices. However, you also don’t want to be in a position where you’ve purchased too many unnecessary items.
Getting a CAD model ready for CNC machining is not a complicated process. However, unexpected outcomes are more likely to occur if you don’t follow these steps carefully. Taking the right preparatory measures increases the likelihood of your project turning out as expected and staying at or under budget.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey took part in an online hearing of the US Congressional Disinformation Committee the day before. This happened alongside such famous personalities as Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Google CEO Sundar Pichai.
Representatives of well-known companies discussed the role of social media platforms in preventing the spread of false information. And during the conference, Dorsey found a way to support the main cryptocurrency.
By tradition, we start with an explanation. Dorsey’s speech was interesting in itself, but Bitcoin supporters were more interested in the environment of his home during the video call. Behind the founder of Twitter was a watch-like device that was quickly identified as the BlockClock mini.
This device displays the current price of BTC along with other data on the type of market capitalization of the main cryptocurrency and the amount of satoshi – the smallest particle of one bitcoin – in one US dollar. That is, in fact, Jack made it clear that he supports Bitcoin and is confident in the prospects for cryptocurrency in the future.
It all looked like this.
Those very hours
Who Supports Bitcoin
BlockClock mini was developed by Canadian startup CoinKite, also known for its OpenDime and ColdCard hardware wallets. Although the device can show the time, during Dorsey’s speech, it was configured to display information specifically about Bitcoin, Decrypt reports.
Recall that Dorsey has long been known as an active supporter of cryptocurrencies. In February, he launched his own Bitcoin node, and there is only one word in the description of his Twitter account – «Bitcoin».
In addition, Square, which Dorsey co-founded, has been actively investing in the crypto market since last year. Additionally, Jack recently sold his first tweet as NFT for $ 2.9 million .
He converted the received money into ETH into bitcoins, after which he sent the cryptocurrency to a charity platform, whose representatives help people who are less fortunate. In total, Dorsey sent 50.87 bitcoins.
Sent to @GiveDirectly Africa fund Thank you, @sinaEstavi.
– jack (@jack) March 22, 2021
Here is the transcript of the hearing. Dorsey and his watch can be seen at 56 minutes.
And here is a demonstration of the device used by Jack Dorsey. The video shows the different modes of BlockClock mini. In particular, the device is able to show the size of the mempool – that is, the queues of unconfirmed transactions, current commissions, the volume of cryptocurrency in circulation, the current block number in the network, and even the value of BTC in gold.
The Bitcoin clock in the background of the conference is a clear sign from Dorsey. He is ready to speak out in support of the crypto market and does not hide it from the government. And this plays into the hands of the growth of BTC adoption, because Twitter is perhaps the most popular platform for the rapid exchange of information between cryptocurrency lovers. Well, Jack himself has 5.3 million followers on Twitter.
We believe that this situation is unlikely to become an impetus for a sharp rise in the Bitcoin exchange rate, as it happened after Tesla announced its own investments in cryptocurrency, but it can still help the industry. Jack Dorsey’s decision to put a BTC clock behind him testifies to the popularization of blockchain assets in people’s lives. In fact, now you can stumble upon the topic of cryptocurrencies almost when viewing content on any topic.
The day before, it was proved by the reigning UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic. During the interview, he was asked what advice he would give to the 20-year-old debut of this promotion. He recommended investing in Bitcoin.

President Muhammadu Buhari’s Personal Assistant on New Media, Bashir Ahmad on Thursday declared that the prices of foodstuff have reduced.
He said this while reacting to a report by the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, claiming that there had been a reduction in the prices of foodstuff recently.
Ahmad claimed that a bag of Maize which was sold for N15, 000 was now selling for between N12,000 to N15,000.
In a tweet, the Presidential aide noted that a measure of maize was now being sold for N120 as against N150.
He also noted that Nigeria’s inflation rate had also fallen from 11.23 to 11.14 percent.
“Prices of food stuff crashes. A survey conducted by NAN in some part of Nasarawa State on Wednesday revealed that the prices of maize and local rice have reduced but that of foreign rice still maintains its rate.
“A bag of maize is now selling for between N13,000 and N12,000 as against N15,500 it was sold last three months, while a measure now costs about N120 down from about N150 previously.
“Nigeria’s Inflation yesterday fell from 11.23 to 11.14% for month of July,” he tweeted.

Monaca, PA – The Community College of Beaver County Titans left the comfort of The Dome to take on a trio of Western Pennsylvania adversaries recently. Traveling with a record of 14-1 and winners of 13 straight, the CCBC Titans had moved into the top 10 in the NJCAA Division II national rankings at number 8. Coach Spriggs and the Titans have been firing on all cylinders since their first and only loss back in early November to Harcum, a two-point setback in overtime.
On Wednesday, January 15, the Titans traveled to Westmoreland Community College for their second meeting of the season against the Wolfpack. CCBC led wire-to-wire in the game, turning outstanding defense into easy offense all night long in the 121-35 victory over Westmoreland. The Titans converted on 54.1% (46-85) of their field goal attempts while holding Westmoreland to an ice-cold 21.7% from the field and forced the Wolfpack into 31 turnovers, leading to plenty of transition opportunities for CCBC. Six Titans reached double figures in the victory, being led by sophomore Chris Greene with 20 points and 8 rebounds and freshman Yazid Powell with 20 points and 4 assists. Sophomore guard Simeon Fryer and sophomore forward Tyree Corbett each added 17 points, with Corbett pulling down 11 rebounds for another double-double on the season. Sophomore guard Rasheed Browne also recorded a double-double, scoring 14 points and handing out 16 assists. Sophomore guard Dymir Montague also added 11 points in the win.
Another trip through western Pennsylvania awaited the Titans on Friday, January 17, as they traveled to Johnstown take on Pennsylvania Highlands Community College. The red-hot Titans offense shot 56.3% from the field (45-80) on their way to their 15th straight victory, a 115-63 win Friday against the Black Bears. Freshman Elijah Kiah-El scored a season-high 23 points to lead the Titans offensive attack. Greene recorded a 19 point and 13 rebound double-double and sophomore guard Cyrie Coates came 3 assists shy of a triple-double, scoring 15 points, grabbing 10 rebounds, and dishing out 7 assists. Browne scored 12 points and handed out 13 assists, while Montague and sophomore forward Antwan James both added 12 in the Titans winning effort.
The Titans took to the road once again on Wednesday, January 22, this time a short trip to their northern neighbors at Butler County Community College. A poised CCBC team took to the floor and put on another outstanding offensive display, scoring 137 points for their 16th straight victory The Titans disruptive defense forced the Pioneers into 26 turnovers which resulted in CCBC scorching the nets at Butler County, connecting on 67.4% (62-92) from the field on their way to the 137-54 victory. Fryer poured in 25 points on 11-16 shooting from the floor, hitting on 3 of his 5 attempts from 3-point range. Greene did it all for the Titans, scoring 20 points, grabbing 12 rebounds, dishing out 7 assists, and coming away with 5 steals. Corbett posted a double-double, adding in 19 points and 11 rebounds in the win, Kiah-El added 16 points, and sophomore guards Montague and Coates chipped in with 14 and 12 points respectively to round out the offensive attack.
The CCBC Titans will look to extend their winning streak to 17 when they return home to The Dome to host Butler County Community College on Monday, January 27 at 7:00pm. CCBC will close out the month of January on the road against the College of Southern Maryland on Wednesday, January 29 at 7:00pm.

World Data Lab (WDL) is a data enterprise that produces the most consistent and credible estimates for spending and demography.
Research from WDL has appeared on CNN, The Economist, and the Financial Times. Some of their clients include HSBC, L’Oreal, and Citibank. Their advisory board includes leading representatives of the World Bank, Brookings Institution, and academia. Their team is made up of the world’s leading experts on economics, demography, and income.
The World Data Pro product is a state-of-the-art analytics and data as a service (DaaS) tool. With it, you can increase your understanding of current markets, develop data-driven emerging market entry strategies, increase the accuracy of current and future customer profiles, and maximize revenue through optimized sales and distribution.
The legacy version of the product had numerous issues with maintainability, new feature creation, and delivery, as well as data indexing and user traffic scalability issues.
The WDL team needed a complete rework and redevelopment of the tool, with a new design library, front- and backend services, and with state-of-the-art data indexing solution. All of them should run on a multi-regional highly available and scalable cloud infrastructure.
After evaluating WDL’s requirements we proposed a scalable cloud and software architecture. It was able to reliably and instantaneously index and process the hundreds of gigabytes of consumer data.
- After approval, we implemented a custom backend service, which takes care of the subscription and access plan management.
- A backend service that searches and aggregates data from the search index.
- We developed the custom design library and a frontend app in accordance with the provided designs by the WDL team.
- Automated CI/CD pipelines were set up for the building, testing, and deployment stages of the services to a container orchestration system hosted on the cloud.
With this, we not only managed to develop a highly scalable data analytics platform but also achieve a very high level of customization and automation of the update, monitoring, and maintenance processes of the World Data Pro product.

It totally understood of that such film producers were biased in their production. Maybe trying to categories the character role based on the sex , which may sometimes not be true. But because of the understanding that women where not fit to partaker in such role may cause the out-righting their role in the film Just watched this movie for the first time last night. I never really got into older movies, but heard the visuals in Lawrence of Arabia were stunning so I wanted to watch it on my big screen (100 inch HD projector). Not only was I absolutely blown away by the scenery, but the story and acting were superb. Really though, it is completely worth the watch for the visuals alone. I had no idea Jordan had such beautiful landscapes.
I also really enjoyed how the film didn't seem rushed, but also told a lot of story. It was a stark contrast to modern films that try to pack so much story into 90-120 minutes. They don't rush conversations between characters, and not every conversation is just the script trying to keep you informed. It seems like a lot of modern films get lazy and just try to feed you the plot or theme through dialogue.
The bechtel test is considered the base minimum test for women in film. It states that films should have at least two women who speak together about something other than a man. The fact that Lawrence of Arabia doesn't even have two women speaking, the easiest part of that test to pass, is absurd and severely underestimates women.
No, Lawrence of Arabia does not underestimate the role of women. The fact that a 227 minute long film does not have one woman with a speaking role plainly displays the self-importance and narcissism of entitled, privileged men. It is the epitomy of navel-gazing and a testament to how sexist Hollywood was, which hasn't changed a lot since then.
Should we make 50/50, come on, it's a film, I really don't see why you should make a film with equally presented men and women, it's a film, we can't set quotas, it is another thing if tehy are insulting someone, but if not I don't see any reason to condemn this.
This film is set in Arabia where they have extremely strict rules and laws concerning women. The fact that women have no speaking roles in this film only indicate what the environment is like for the women of this country. It is true to the culture. This has nothing to do with women's worth in film production but of their cultures' beliefs about women.

Exploring the Pros and Cons of the NASB Bible: A Guide for Those Exploring Christianity
For anyone who is exploring Christianity, finding the right Bible is essential. With so many different translations out there, it can be tough to know which one to choose. One option worth considering is the NASB Bible. Short for the New American Standard Bible, the NASB is prized by many for its clarity, accuracy, and faithfulness to the original texts.
But like any Bible translation, the NASB has its pros and cons. On the positive side, it provides an incredibly accurate representation of the original language. However, some people find the language difficult to read, and the translation lacks modernization.
In this article, we will delve into the introduction of the NASB Bible, explain what it is and how it came to be. We will also take an objective look at some of the pros and cons of this version of the Bible, compare it with other translations, and offer some advice on how to choose the right Bible for you. So if you are interested in learning more about the NASB Bible, keep reading!
An Introduction to the NASB Bible: What It Is and How It Came to Be.
The New American Standard Bible (NASB) is a modern translation of the Christian Bible that aims to provide an accurate and readable version of the sacred text. The NASB was first published in the 1970s and has since become a popular choice for Christians looking for a faithful rendering of the original scriptures.
One of the strengths of the NASB is its commitment to literal translation. Unlike some other translations, which may take more liberties with the text in order to make it more accessible or poetic, the NASB strives to remain as true as possible to what was written in its original languages. This can be particularly useful for scholars or anyone seeking a deep understanding of biblical texts.
However, this literal approach can also be seen as a weakness by some. Critics argue that it can sometimes make passages difficult to read or understand, especially for those who are not familiar with older English language conventions or biblical terminology.
Despite these potential drawbacks, many Christians find great value in using the NASB as their primary Bible translation. Its reputation for accuracy and fidelity has earned it a loyal following among those who place great importance on scripture study and interpretation.
Overall, whether you choose to use the NASB or another translation of the Bible depends largely on your personal preference and goals as a reader. For those seeking an accurate and unadulterated version of scripture, however, there are few translations that can match its level of precision and faithfulness.
The pros of the NASB Bible are clarity, accuracy, and faithfulness to the original texts.
The NASB Bible offers several pros that make it a popular choice among those seeking to deepen their understanding of Christianity. One of the main advantages is its clarity, which allows readers to easily follow along with the text without getting bogged down in confusing language.
Another benefit is its accuracy, as the NASB Bible was translated from the original Hebrew and Greek texts by a team of qualified scholars who were dedicated to preserving the integrity of the scripture. This means that readers can trust that they are getting an authentic representation of God’s word.
In addition, the NASB Bible is known for its faithfulness to the original texts. This means that it stays true to what was originally written and doesn’t take liberties with interpretation or translation. This makes it an ideal choice for those looking for a reliable and trustworthy version of scripture.
Overall, if you’re looking for a Bible that is clear, accurate, and faithful to the original texts, then you can’t go wrong with choosing the NASB version. It’s a great resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Christianity and grow in their faith journey.
The cons of the NASB Bible are lack of readability, difficult language, and lack of modernization.
While the NASB Bible is often praised for its accuracy and faithfulness to the original text, there are some cons to consider as well. One of the biggest drawbacks is its lack of readability. The language used in the NASB can be difficult for modern readers to understand, with archaic words and sentence structures that can be confusing.
Additionally, while some may appreciate the lack of modernization in the NASB, others may find it a hindrance. In a world where communication styles and language usage are constantly evolving, some may feel that an older translation like the NASB does not capture the essence of Christianity in a way that resonates with contemporary audiences.
Furthermore, because of its literal translation approach, some passages in the NASB can come across as stilted or awkwardly worded. This can make it difficult for readers to fully connect with what they are reading and internalize its teachings.
While these cons should certainly be considered when choosing a Bible translation, it’s important to remember that every individual has their own preferences when it comes to reading and learning about Christianity. Ultimately, what matters most is finding a version of Scripture that speaks to you personally and helps deepen your relationship with God.
Comparisons with other Bible versions.
When it comes to choosing a Bible version, there are many options available that can leave one feeling overwhelmed. Among the popular choices is the New American Standard Bible (NASB), which has its own set of advantages and disadvantages.
One of the main advantages of NASB is its adherence to literal translation, making it a great resource for those who want to delve deeper into the original meaning of biblical texts. However, this same feature can also make it difficult for some readers to understand certain passages, especially if they are not familiar with archaic language or cultural contexts.
Another advantage of NASB is its accuracy in preserving original manuscripts, providing readers with a reliable source for studying and referencing biblical texts. On the other hand, some may find that this accuracy leads to a lack of poetic expression or literary flair found in other versions.
« what is the best bible to get for beginners
is bible an academic text »
Compared to other popular versions such as NIV or ESV, NASB may be seen as less accessible due to its strict adherence to literal translation. However, for those seeking an in-depth study tool with precise language and accurate historical context, NASB may be an ideal choice.
Ultimately, choosing a Bible version should depend on personal preference and individual goals for studying scripture. Whether you choose NASB or another version, remember that the most important aspect is allowing God’s word to speak into your heart and guide your life journey.
In conclusion, choose the right Bible for you.
When choosing the right Bible for you, it’s important to consider your personal preferences and needs. The NASB Bible is one option that many Christians find appealing, due to its literal translation of the original texts.
However, like any version of the Bible, there are pros and cons to using the NASB. On the plus side, its accuracy can make for a more in-depth study experience. On the other hand, some may find its language too formal or difficult to understand.
Ultimately, it’s up to each individual reader to decide which translation resonates with them most deeply. It’s important not to get caught up in debates over “the best” version of the Bible – what matters most is finding a text that speaks directly to your heart and soul.
So whether you choose NASB or another translation entirely, remember that what truly matters is not which words you read, but what they inspire within you. May your search for spiritual guidance be fruitful and fulfilling!
When choosing the right Bible for you, it is important to consider all of the pros and cons associated with any Bible version. Though NASB can be a great option due to its accuracy and faithfulness to original texts, some may find that it lacks readability or has language difficult to understand without modernization. Ultimately, your decision should weigh both factors in order for you to make an informed choice that best suits your own needs as someone who is exploring Christianity.

NJ AUTO DEALERSHIP FORCED TO CLEAN UP ACT
On August 20, 2018, My Minute Minute responded to calls regarding Route 46 Hyundai of Hackettstown, NJ's illegal practice of overstock automobile storage on a grass field and subsequently aired satire news coverage that evening. The grass field lays within a residential district neighboring residential homes. The practice of storing automobile on grass can over time prevent the natural growth of field dwelling plants and wildlife. This practice also can decrease the property value of nearby homes.

Heading to Emerald Bay? You’ll find less parking — and traffic delays
September 6, 2017
There will be fewer parking options and probable traffic delays in the Emerald Bay area for the next several months as crews work to repair a section of California Highway 89.
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) announced the start of construction on Wednesday.
The project, which should be completed by mid-November, involves replacing a retaining wall and extending an existing barrier slab and rail in Emerald Bay — an iconic area and popular destination for visitors and locals.
A contractor will spend the next several days establishing a staging area in the Eagle Falls parking lot along the southbound lane of the highway.
Caltrans warns that visitors should anticipate most, if not all, of the parking spaces being blocked by construction equipment.
Aside from parking, reversing one-way traffic controls will be implemented from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. Motorists should anticipate delays of up to 20 minutes, according to Caltrans.

Honduran food is made by creating magic out of simplicity. Every region has its own specialties; from the Pacific Coast’s famous seafood to San Pedro Sula’s Pollo Chuco, two things unite all typical dishes: they are amazing, and they are made with what we have.
At Casita Copán we enjoy this delicious cuisine daily. Baleadas, Pupusas or Empanadas as they are known in Copan (probably confusing a lot of South American tourists) and other treats are mainstays in our kitchen. Our amazing cook, Glenda, manages to create nutritious and traditional dishes every day, for only $.50 per child. Oftentimes the kids will eat less typical foods like Chow Mein or Pizza, but it always has a Honduran twist (I’m looking at you, Tacos de Espagueti).
Maybe you can’t travel to Honduras, but you can definitely bring a piece of Honduras into your home with these three recipes that you can create with common ingredients found at most US supermarkets.
It is not like a big taco. It is not like a burrito. It is a Baleada, and it is perfection. The secret is in the home-made flour tortilla. The classical one is just the tortilla, the beans and the mantequilla y queso, but you can use these three ingredients as a base to make your dinner go from zero to artery-clogging hero by adding chorizo, ham, fried plantains or anything else you may have laying around.
4 cups of white flour
4 tablespoons of vegetable oil
2.5 teaspoons of baking soda
1 teaspoon of salt
.5 cup of water
Queso Fresco (if this is unavailable, Feta cheese is a good substitute)
Mix all the ingredients minus the water in a bowl that is big, and deep.
Knead the flour slowly, and simultaneously add water until the dough is soft and it stops sticking to your hands. Divide the dough cutting it into little balls (about the size of what would fit in your hand) and let the dough sit, covered with a cloth or towel, for 15 to 30 minutes.
Heat up your comal –or if you don’t have one, a flat non-stick pan will work – while you start stretching out the little dough balls, hitting it with both hands to give them the shape of a tortilla. You can also use a rolling pin to stretch them out.
When it is finally tortilla-shaped (or as close to that as you can get it), put it on the comal or pan; it’s gotta be hot! Remember that a good tortilla always inflates, but don’t worry if it does not happen your first time; this requires practice. Flip the tortillas after about ten seconds so both sides are cooked. The experts do it with their bare hands, but you can use a spatula if you prefer. After about ten to fifteen seconds on each side, your tortilla is ready.
After you’ve made a few, you can keep them wrapped in a cloth or towel, since a sealed container will trap moisture and will make them mushy. Heat up the beans, and spread them on the tortilla and sprinkle on the cheese and a dollop of sour cream and Cheque! You have made a Baleada. Add eggs, avocado, meat or anything else your heart desires.
Casita Tip: The water can be substituted with coconut milk for a softer, flakier tortilla.
Arroz Con Pollo
At the intersection of nutritious, delicious and economic we find Arroz Con Pollo, a Honduran staple, especially when feeding a large family. The following is just one way of making it; the preparation varies according to the person who makes it, and you can mix and match vegetables as you wish. Throw a little seafood in there and you have a Central American Paella. The one thing every Honduran knows for sure is that the one made at their house is the best one there is.
3 pounds of chicken, whatever pieces you prefer
2 cups of uncooked rice
2 medium carrots, peeled and cubed
1 cup of peas
1 tablespoon of annatto (for color)
1 tablespoon of ground cumin
3 garlic clothes, diced
3 tablespoons of butter or oil
1 white onion, diced
1 celery stalk, diced
4 peeled tomatoes, diced
1 green pepper, diced
1 cup of white wine
1 cup of chicken stock
3 tablespoons of freshly chopped cilantro
Salt and Pepper to Taste
Mix the garlic, annatto, cumin, salt and pepper to make a dry rub. Rub on the chicken. Heat up the oil at medium heat in a deep, big pan and add the pieces of chicken (skin down) and cook until they are golden on both sides.
Add the onion, tomatoes, pepper, celery, and cook for ten minutes will stirring.
Add one cup of white wine, cook for 20 to 25 minutes at low heat until the liquid is reduced to about half. Stir frequently.
Add the chicken stock, rice, peas and carrots. Mix well.
Cover and cook at a medium temperature for 20 minutes. Reduce heat and cook at low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the rice is firm but tender.
Sprinkle cilantro on top and serve.
Casita Tip: Arroz con Pollo is perfect for carbo-loading before doing a marathon fundraiser!
Where is Tres Leches from, you might ask? The answer will depend on the nationality of the Latinx person you are asking. My answer: Tres Leches is best enjoyed with a nice cup of hot Honduran coffee.
Since Tres Leches is very easy to make, the recipe can be pretty standard. This one is a good start, but you can add cinnamon and nutmeg to the “milks” to give it a deeper taste. Or if you’re feeling really adventurous, we recommend a sprinkle of ginger and cardamom. And finally if you’re feeling lazy, a box of Yellow Cake Mix can significantly shorten your preparation time for this dessert!
Casita Tip: Make this at your next bake-sale fundraiser! Just make sure to serve it in plates as it is quite a wet cake.

Under standard conditions acc. IEC (free burning, 25 - 40°C ambient temperature) a typical increase of the emitted radiation power in the wavelength range < 500 nm up to 3 mW/klm per 10,000 hours of operation was determined. This corresponds to approx. 0.1% of the total emitted radiation power. This increase depends on the operation conditions.
For example for a T5 HO lamp at 80°C ambient temperature an increase of the emitted radiation power in the wavelength range < 500 nm of up to 50 mW/klm per 10,000 hours of operation can be observed. This corresponds to approx. 2% of the total emitted radiation power.

Take a battery, few wire pieces, a bulb, a nail and a pencil lead. First connect the nail in the circuit as shown in the figure. Is the bulb glowing? Now, connect the pencil lead in the circuit. What do you observe?
The bulb glows when the
nail is connected because metal transfers energy, while the graphite lead
produces heat energy.
Strike a metal utensil with a metal spoon. Note the kind of sound emitted. Now, strike a piece of wood charcoal with the same spoon. Do you find difference in the kind of sound produced? Most metals produce ringing sound when struck i.e. they are sonorous. Non-metals are non sonorous.

Blindness could keep a Fort Worth man from getting a face transplant.
News 8 first introduced you to Dallas Wiens last year. He lost his face when he was burned by a live electrical wire.
Wiens has undergone several surgeries, but still can't see out of his right eye.
The Cleveland Clinic won't consider blind patients for a face transplant because they are unable to inspect their face daily for signs of rejection.
The only other U.S. medical center to have performed the groundbreaking surgery — Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston — is considering Wiens as a candidate.

Under the Department of Education’s 2011 “Dear Colleague” letter, colleges risk their federal funding if they judge students accused of rape by any standard higher than “preponderance of the evidence.”
If a bare majority of a hearing panel agrees that it’s 50.01 percent likely that an accused student is “responsible,” that student will be forever tarred as a rapist, with reverberating consequences to career, income and relationships.
That’s why Stanford University set a higher bar than other colleges for finding students responsible – first a “supermajority” of the panel, and for the past year unanimity – but now it’s getting raked over the coals for that cautious approach.
Two weeks ago The New York Times reported that a student-athlete beat rape claims in 2015 after two panels, in 3-2 votes, judged he had raped the accuser, because a “responsible” finding required a 4-1 vote.
The story prominently featured criticism from victim-rights groups, and drew a stern rebuke from Stanford for “an incomplete assessment of our efforts” and why it moved to a unanimous vote.
Now Inside Higher Ed reports that both of Stanford’s thresholds – the original 4-1 vote, and currently a unanimous three-member ruling – are incredibly rare in higher ed:
The Association for Student Conduct Administration could recall no other institution that required a supermajority vote, and neither could Culture of Respect, the sexual-assault-prevention arm of NASPA: Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education, or the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, an organization that has urged colleges to adopt such policies. Duke University appears to be the only other prominent institution that requires a unanimous vote in its sexual misconduct hearings.
The bare-majority requirement was advocated in a 2004 article on a “model student conduct code,” and it was adopted by “most colleges that use hearing panels,” despite the risk to accused students who already face a more-likely-than-not evidence standard:
Published in the Journal of College and University Law, the Model Student Conduct Code states that colleges with student conduct boards that consist of more than one person should determine responsibility for violating conduct rules by a majority vote, not a supermajority or unanimous decision. But, as sexual assault is a more serious charge than other forms of misconduct, such as cheating, some colleges administrators have grown uncomfortable with requiring only a majority vote in those hearings …
Duke’s unanimous requirement actually goes back to 2003, even before its infamous lacrosse-team rape case:
Larry Moneta, Duke’s vice president for student affairs, said this week that the policy has largely been without controversy and that the university was unaware it was in such rare company.
“Our approach is based on an analysis, done years ago, of what we believe to be the best practice for accountability,” Moneta said. “It wasn’t based on discussions over evidentiary standards, but on what is a fair and equitable approach for resolutions of an allegation. It was just a Duke decision that we wanted to be sure there was agreement on the outcome for something so serious.”
While the Association for Student Conduct Administration writes off the supermajority threshold as too high for what it calls a “policy violation” – an accusation of sexual misconduct, which can range from nonconsensual kissing to forcible rape – the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education’s Samantha Harris notes that
colleges are increasingly adjudicating claims that also involve potentially criminal conduct, so this disparity becomes troubling. Unanimity should be required for suspension or expulsion, particularly when you are using the lower preponderance of evidence standard. Otherwise, you are suspending or expelling someone based on the fact that only half of a group of people think someone was more likely than not to have done something.
