AN abandoned dog was rescued by animal wardens after it was left tied to a fence without food, water or shelter for what may have been several days.
The rottweiler was thin and flea-bitten when it was found near Andrew Street in Llanelli.
Dog wardens who came to the aid of the deserted animal said it needed urgent veterinary care but was now recovering well.
Carmarthenshire County Council dog warden Brendan Davies said: “We don’t know how long he had been there, but it may have been a few days. He was severely underweight and had lost hair on his back due to flea infestation.
“He has responded well to treatment and TLC, his fleas have gone and his coat is starting to re-grow already.
“This could have been avoided with such little cost - the [veterinary charity] PDSA was only a short walk away from where he was left tied up without food, water and shelter. His owner could have taken him there for treatment and advice for free.”
The dog is being cared for in a rescue shelter and will be re-homed when he is well enough.
The RSPCA is now appealing for information to find the owner so they can take the appropriate action.

Just over a year ago I posted a short piece on this site on safe staffing, particularly noting the work of Shaun Lintern and John Baker in alerting people to the importance of this in the mental health nursing context. Since then, the Nurse Staffing Levels (Wales) Act 2016 has passed into law, and the Welsh Government has opened this consultation on its draft statutory guidance for Local Health Boards and NHS Trusts. My colleague Aled Jones is coordinating a School of Healthcare Sciences response.
Here in Wales, the duty to calculate nurse staffing levels is currently limited to adult acute medical and surgical inpatient wards. In each NHS organisation with responsibilities in these fields, the Government’s draft document refers to the appointment of a ‘designated person’ with the job of calculating nurse staffing levels using three elements:
- professional judgement;
- use of an evidence-based workforce planning tool; and
- a consideration of the extent to which patients’ wellbeing is sensitive to nursing care.
Making these calculations, I can only imagine, will be a mighty challenging task requiring in-depth understanding of individual wards, the characteristics of patients admitted, and use of a tool which has (so far as I understand it) yet to be finalised.
Meanwhile, via John Baker I learn today of this new publication by NHS Improvement on safe, sustainable and productive staffing in mental health services. This is not about safe nursing staffing, but is about interprofessional staffing in specialist mental health services. Here I read of expectations around right staff, right skills and right place, right time and also spot a rapid review of the relevant literature. This begins with the understated observation that, ‘the issue of safe and sustainable staffing in mental health is complex and research is lacking’. I should say so. The time is ripe, I think, for some serious independent studies in this area.Follow @benhannigan

Although global in scale, the impact of climate change will be felt at the local level. Refocusing our attention away from the ice shelves disintegrating in the Antarctic, the flooding of Pacific islands, and carbon inventories measured in billions of tons, Jerry Jenkins turns to changes that are already occurring much closer to home, changes that threaten to transform one of America's great wildernesses, the Adirondack region, into a damaged and unfamiliar landscape.
With the aid of comprehensive color illustrations, graphs, charts, and maps, Jenkins demonstrates the fundamental reality of climate change on a local level and presents his analysis and discussion of the available data for the Adirondacks. The region's culture, biology, and economy are already shifting rapidly: boreal species such as the spruce grouse are in decline, pests such as the mountain pine beetle and black-legged tick are moving in, and ski areas are suffering from lack of snow. Jenkins goes on to deliver a critical message: changes in personal energy consumption can fundamentally alter the present trajectory of global warming. Climate Change in the Adirondacks provides a road map for how individuals and communities whether inside the Blue Line or beyond can reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and lead the way toward a more responsible future.
The book is an extensive gathering of data on local climate change problems, and as importantly, what Jenkins calls 'An Adirondack Strategy' that includes suggestions for moving from fossil fuels (coal and oil) to renewable energy (sun and wind). What makes this book so valuable is that Jenkins has crafted a readable and useful reference developed with local Adirondack conditions in mind: our excessive automobile and home energy use; the increasing loss of ice and snow cover and winter recreation businesses and facilities; the northern movement of the boreal forest and invasive species from the south; the loss of northern climate cultural traditions.John Warren, Adirondack Almanack
This fantastic book is probably the most important, accessible book ever written on climate change, realistic CO2 abatement, and community sustainability in a carbon-neutral (or as close as we can get) world. Unassumingly authoritative, it can be read and appreciated by audiences from high schoolers to professional scientists to energy scholars. Using the Adirondacks as a microcosm, Jenkins examines its economy, ecology, population behaviors, carbon footprint, energy usage and distribution, community structure, infrastructure, and industry to determine how and if the region could realistically reach carbon neutrality and energy sustainability in the next 20 years. Figures are clear and simply rendered. Caveats, assumptions, and uncertainties are clearly identified but not allowed to overwhelm the presentation. The result is a comprehensive, thoughtful analysis resulting in a realistic, sustainable community plan that could work in the present political and economic climate.... Summing up: Essential.Choice

Prolube Lubricants produce hig quality motor oils and industrial lubes right here in Australia.
With many types and uses for oils, advice and selection can be time-consuming and confusing. Especially over the phone. Besides that, technical documents and books can be difficult to decipher at times.
As a result, the team at Prolube took the initiative to set up an oil selector tool which is very easy to use. By simply answering a few questions, the oil selector tool does the thinking for you.
The problem was, not many people were using the tool. It was a new feature. And as it turned out, they were missing it on the website.
Running a simple A/B test proved a winning solution that brought a lot more people’s attention to the oil selection tool.
Rather than a basic button test that involves changing the colour or wording on a button, we aimed for something more substantial. Our test involved moving the button to a more prominent location on the home page and changing its size and shape altogether. This proved to have a big impact.
We had a clear winner after only a week. The ‘stand out’ button, separated from the main navigation, could hardly be missed, and button clicks increased by 45%.
This resulted in 19% more product orders. More website visitors were finding what they wanted and following through to submit an order.
The winning button proved a big response over just 7 days.
Because more people for getting help from the tool, Prolube experienced an increase in online orders.
So you see, just one change can make a substantial difference. Continuing with tests and finding winning solutions, these accumulative increases just keep coming.

I loved the side characters too, especially Josh's mom, Janine. She is a great listener but she also tells it like it is, there's no messing with her.
As I was reading, I could hear the Australian and American accents and loved all the subtle Aussie touches the author sprinkled throughout the pages.
There were so many laugh out loud moments, my sides ached. I won't give spoilers but there is a point in the book where you will need tissues. I clutched my Kindle to my chest, sobbing.
Oh my, the romance, there is a part near the end that will simply melt your heart. I've not seen a better scene in any movie, ever!
There are lessons here too, not making assumptions about people, letting go of baggage, and forgiveness. All so expertly woven into the story. I just love this book. If you like romantic comedy, you will like this book. If you like drama and romance, you will like this book. I would give it more than 5 Stars if I could.
Now I understand why Paige and Josh were one of people’s favourite characters from last year. This book is all kind of adorbs.
Paige, feisty, loyal, lovable, cute Paige. She’s waking up. Or better yet, finally opening herself up. Daring to live out of a sheltered life. She’s off on an adventure to the other side of the world. But once she discovered her cousin’s idea of a perfect job is actually Paige’s worst nightmare, she might question her sanity here and there. Especially when she keeps making a fool of herself in front of one Josh Taylor.
Josh Taylor. Worship leader, overprotective, caring, and, usually, a gentleman.
He has a life he loves, which includes traveling the world and leading people in praises to God. There’s a lot of pressure, expectations, challenges that come with the field, but his family has learned to be stronger despite the trials. Doesn’t mean Josh likes it when a rumour starts, gossips are spread, people show up only trying to gain something from them, with no real interest in them. And he’s sure the blonde American is just one more person who’ll end up disappointing them.
Once these two have to spend time together without killing each other, both will have their preconceptions confronted by reality. And they’ll that to be given grace amongst trials is truly a balm to the spirit, a shake to unworthy foundations, and healing from the deepest regrets.
Here's one more reason to pick up this book: it's set in AUSTRALIA *---*
The story was so well written that the reader can really empathize with the characters as they try to move on with their lives with things in the past still haunting them. It's easy to relate because life isn't a bed of roses. This story has the struggles, pain, and turmoil that take place in our lives, and how a God can use those to mold us into the person he wants us to be--if we will let Him.
I really liked the plot of the story, enjoyed the characters, and followed the roller coaster of emotions of the characters as they journeyed through different stages. Life can be difficult, but he always gives us wonderful people to help us and lighter funnier times to make it fun, enjoyable, and sweet!
I did want to mention that this is an adult story...totally clean..but some subject matter that is for adults. I'm adding this because I have people ask so I'm going to try to remember to add this to my reviews.
"Um, because, as her daddy use to say, going to church made you a Christian about as much as going to McDonalds made you a hamburger."
"At its core, the gospel is offensive. We are all sinners. We all fall short of God. No matter how good a person we are, how nice a life we lead, we all need Jesus to bridge the gap for us."
If you enjoy contemporary stories with real life situations...read Kara Isaac's books. They are funny, witty, enjoyable and yet real! So just go buy it and support the author!!

Ninth Street to Close Due to Construction
COLUMBIA - The Columbia Public Works Department said in a media release Ninth Street between University Avenue and Elm Street will be closed from 7 p.m. Sunday to 6 a.m. Monday.
Ninth Street will again close at 7 p.m. on Monday to 6 a.m. Tuesday.
The street closure is due to a large crane and other construction equipment in and in close proximity to the roadway in front of 308 South Ninth Street, the project site of a multi-story mixed use building under construction.
Public works said the road closures will occur during the night time hours to reduce the impact to motor vehicle traffic, bus routes and to pedestrians and cyclists. Motorists, pedestrians and cyclists should locate alternate routes and use caution in the area of the construction zone.
The FastCAT route is affected by this road closure and will run on a detour route.

City residents may suggest ways to spend about $1.45 million next budget year to aid low- and moderate-income families to Hollywood's Community Development department.
The department is beginning to plan how to spend the money, which is granted the city by the federal government, according to George Keller, director of community development. The money will be spent between Oct. 1, 1985 and Sept. 30, 1986.
Ideas must be submitted by April 16.
The money is used for such programs as the upgrading of housing and commercial buildings in blighted neighborhoods, street repairs and capital improvements. It is designed to help low- and moderate-income families and aid in the preventions of slums.
Keller said much of the $1.45 million already is earmarked. However, residents with specific projects in mind may submit their ideas to Keller's department.

If Grace Potter is not on your radar, she should be. The frontwoman from the rock band Grace Potter and the Nocturnals has some great style, great energy and a pretty badass attitude. So it’s no suprise Mark cosmetics selected her to star in their “10 to Watch” campaign, following the Vampire Diaries‘ Kat Graham, Les Miserables star Samantha Barks and R&B singer Elle Varner.
And did we mention she’s also hilarious? Her beauty inspiration proves that point.
“Whenever I leave the house, first thing I do is I think would Jack Nicholson like this,” she shares in the exclusive clip below. “So he’s my beauty inspiration, because he’s my hero. I Love him. And I’d like to think that I’m the imaginary muse of Jack Nicholson even though I’ve never met him before. I’m dressing for Jack. But circa 1970 Jack.”
As for her beauty routine, she likes to keep things simple. “I never like to overdo it. I think one thing that empowers me about what I put on my face is having restraint. It’s like, a great artist should know when to stop. Everything in moderation.”
Courtesy Mark Cosmetics
Potter’s laid-back makeup approach may have directly resulted from one big night out. “The biggest beauty risk I’ve ever taken would probably be the day I decided to do a smokey eye, and it was a mistake,” she shares. “Wish I hadn’t done it. I had crazy platinum blonde hair at the time. I had been in Vegas and had a glass of champagne and thought it was a great idea to bleach my hair blonde and do a smoky eye. It was for the Country Music Awards, and I looked like a maniac. It was not cool.”
So for now, she’ll stick to the basics from Mark. “I discovered the brand through one of my favorite makeup artists, and she was using it on me once … I remember looking in the mirror and thinking, ‘This is what skin should look like when you have makeup on,” she says. “It’s like liquid skin. It shouldn’t look like anything other than what you are and who you are. And that’s the way I felt when I put Mark makeup on for the first time.”
Who’s your beauty inspiration? What’s your biggest beauty risk? Sound off below!

A new report into the UK live music sector highlights how black British music is being hurt by local councils and authorities
Genres like grime and UK hip hop are being stifled by “institutionalised” racism, according to a report by the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) committee. The Guardian and BBC News highlight the comments, made Roundhouse head of music Jane Beese, in an extensive report into the UK live music sector.
The report by the DCMS, which is made up 11 MPs from the Conservatives, Labour, and the SNP, found there was a lack of support from local councils for black British styles of music, with evidence that venues were cancelling gigs over “unfounded” concerns around licensing and safety.
Although the notorious ‘form 696’, which gave the Metropolitan police power to pre-emptively close down events in London based on the ethnic make-up of the expected audience, has since been scrapped, racism is still a problem in UK music. “It could be a venue that has been pressured to cancel the event by the police,” BBC Radio 1xtra’s DJ Target told the committee. “The small venue that is already struggling cannot afford to risk it so then they end up saying, ‘OK. We do not do those types of nights any more.’”
MC ShaoDow discussed the challenges of trying to perform in London: “I was booked for a performance in a club and called them ahead of time to say, ‘I am on my way,’ and they said, ‘Oh, by the way, we were just listening to your music. You make hip hop.’ I said, ‘Yes,’ and he said, ‘Oh, we cannot do that here, we will lose our licence.’” The committee has called for the government to develop guidance for licensing authorities, police forces, and music venues to prevent these artists from being unfairly targeted.
The report also looked at the impact that Brexit will have on the UK live music sector. Their findings are… well, they’re not good. Besides employment opportunities being under threat, with more than half of musicians surveyed by the Incorporated Society of Musicians saying that at least 50 per cent of their income is made in the EU, organisations like the Southbank Centre highlighted the complexity of visa arrangements, and how that could hamper their ability to book talent at short notice. The committee recommended the introduction and EU-wide touring visa; they also urged the government to avoid a situation that would result in the reintroduction of carnets for touring equipment.
Elsewhere, the report described the rapid closure of live venues around the UK as “happening on a scale unprecedented in other cultural sectors”, which is cool, and added that “the UK’s position at the forefront of the music industry could be at risk because the next generation of musicians will be denied spaces to hone their craft”, which is also cool. It suggested that “without access to an appropriate education, high-quality facilities or reliable income streams, people from a diverse range of backgrounds will struggle to build viable careers in the industry”. The report asked the government to review changes to business rates on the live sector, apply relief schemes to protect venues and independent festivals, and offer tax relief that’s currently given to orchestra performances to other forms of music.

A science fiction writer's blog.
wow - just wow
I remember the scene, it's odd seeing it drawn though. Without prejudice, the written scene didn't convey the emotional sense this picture does. It's very clever, quite anthropomorphic. And yet again demonstrates the power of pictures. I read the scene, as one fairly fearsome animal shucking of it’s mortal coil before being devoured by engineered scavengers, an animal that may still in it’s dying throes may have the power to cause harm to an attacker. In this picture the Gabble looks as if it’s in prayer, and clearly if you know the beasts behind, then it must exude some force or presence to keep them at bay until it’s spirit (for want of a better word) has flown.Your man Sullivan is very good. How much licence do you give to humanity, when your own aliens are so alien? Just a question, it don’t need an answer.
goddamn that is suitably creepy!
fuuuuuuuck. i thought the eyes would be different. not complaining tho. here's another for the kitchen i'm going to have to print out. to die for. ha.
My opinion of this is that no, it doesn't look to me precisely as I would visualize a gabbleduck. However, Mr Sullivan has taken the idea of the gabbleduck and added to it to such an extent that I wish this was how I visualized a gabbleduck. That's art.
I've always had a HELL of a hard time visualizing the gabbleduck. No offense, Neal, as I can't even begin to imagine how you would describe something like this picture in words. Yes, all the things you said do fit this picture. But I got nowhere near this amazing a visual in my head. It's a damn site better than the previous incarnation of the gabbleduck (looked more like one of Godzilla's mechanized foes).I can tell you one additional thing - this photo does its job. I haven't read The Gabble yet, but it's now extremely high on my list.(Now if only we can get him to sketch us a heroyne...)

Here are some really interesting facts about dogs that are unusual, factual and fun:
Unlike humans, dogs do not have an appendix.
Dogs can make about ten different vocal sounds.
Amazingly, dogs can make one hundred different facial expressions but most of these are made with the ears.
Dogs are not color blind. They see shades of green and gray and blue and yellow.
Most dogs only sweat from their paw pads and use panting to cool down in hot weather. The exception to this is the Chinese Crested, who has sweat glands in their skin as well as in the paw pads.
The dog was one of the very first animals to be domesticated by people. Our relationship with dogs goes back over 10,000 years.
Dogs can locate the source of a sound in 6/100th’s of a second by swiveling their ears.

CD2 includes a live set, The Silver Echo & the Golden Echo – recorded live at Reading Festival in 1996.
Paul Campion, AC Acoustics
Formed in Glasgow in 1990, AC Acoustics original sound took its lead from the wave of mid-late 80s noise bands like Jesus And Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine. Their first release 1992s Wrist Eye EP – featuring backing vocals from Teenage Fanclub’s Gerry Love – and a show opening for PJ Harvey brought the band to the music press’ attention and won them a session with John Peel. It also brought a record deal with Elemental who released their debut mini album Able Treasury to ecstatic reviews in 1994:
By the time of its follow up, 1997’s Victory Parts, the band had evolved a more complex hook-heavy sound overlaid with Paul Campion’s intriguingly cryptic lyrics. The band toured heavily with the likes of Embrace, Stereophonics, dEUS and Placebo (Brian Molko a big champion of the band) but despite this and glowing accolades for Victory Parts in the music press ac acoustics were apparently destined to remain a cult act, ultimately calling it a day in 2003 after two further albums, Understanding Music (2000) and O (2002).

All purchases of Victory Parts made through the One Little Indian store come with a 7″ record sized collectors booklet featuring interviews with Mark Raine from AC Acoustics about the making of the album.

The advantages of vacuum hydrocarbon ultrasonic cleaning machine
A hydrocarbon cleaning machine should be the most environmentally friendly cleaning method to solvent for a hydrocarbon solvent, is a non-toxic and harmless environmental cleaning agent, no harm to the human body. The special vacuum system of hydrocarbon cleaner adopts an automatic condensate water recovery device to completely discharge the hydrocarbon solvent condensed in the high vacuum pipeline, which makes the workpiece completely dry after the vapor phase cleaning, reduces labor intensity, convenient control, smooth operation, convenient maintenance, sealing degree to high vacuum technical requirements, space-saving. The vacuum hydrocarbon cleaner takes advantage of the physical change of the liquid in the vacuum state to change some characteristics of the hydrocarbon cleaner and the cleaning object to bring the advantages of the hydrocarbon cleaner into full play.
1. Strong cleaning ability: to improve the cleaning effect, the vacuum cleaning dryer uses four technologies:
(1) high cleaning effect: the cleaning tank is equipped with an ultrasonic cleaning device. Due to the weak Sonication of the carbonated water-based cleaning solution, a vacuum system is installed in the tank to enhance the ultrasonic capability. The workpiece is cleaned in the vacuum (10Kpa-gas), the air bubble is discharged into the blind hole, and the cleaning fluid can enter the blind hole for cleaning. The gas in the cleaning solution degasses in the vacuum, enhancing the ultrasonic ability.
(2) vacuum cleaning. Under the vacuum condition, the air in the blind hole and the small gap of the workpiece is pumped out, so that the solution is completely immersed in all parts of the workpiece, and the cleaning is more thorough. The vacuum also degasses the solution, thus improving the ultrasonic efficiency.
(3) mechanical oscillation. The transmission mechanism makes the workpiece swing up and down in the cleaning trough so that the dirt and the workpiece can be separated more quickly.
(4) gas-phase cleaning. At the last step of cleaning, the workpiece is cleaned by solution steam so that the oil dissolved in the cleaning solution will not remain on the surface of the workpiece.
2. Fast drying speed: first, heat the workpiece with high-temperature steam in the drying tank, then make the drying tank quickly into the vacuum state, using the vacuum boiling effect to make the cleaning fluid on the surface of the workpiece rapidly volatilize.
3. Solvent regeneration uses: the vacuum cleaning dryer adopts a multi-stage vacuum distillation regeneration device so that the cleaning liquid with oil dissolved in the cleaning tank is continuously sucked into the distillation device, heating and evaporating in a vacuum, then condense to become the cleaning solvent back to the cleaning tank, cleaning fluid always keep clean. Oil residue in the bottom of the distillation unit, regular discharge.
4. Low solvent consumption: in the process of vacuum drying, the solvent gas is recovered by a condensation recovery device, so that the loss of the cleaning agent is less than 0. 04%.
5. High Safety: the vacuum cleaner drier adopts an explosion-proof motor, explosion-proof switch, heat-conducting oil indirect heating, flammable gas concentration alarm, automatic door closing, automatic power off and automatic fire extinguishing device, to make sure it is safe to use. Install solvent cooling, exhaust, pump, and motor with explosion protection in the tank and connect the Compressed air to the electrical control box and relay box to isolate them from the outside world.
Vacuum steam cleaning drying tank although the use of hydrogen carbide cleaning liquid steam, in the vacuum state oxygen concentration is reduced to ensure safety. The vacuum pump adopts a liquid-sealed vacuum pump with high safety. The mist and steam of the cleaning solution are recovered by gas-liquid separation and condensation during vacuum extraction, thereby reducing the concentration of waste gas. (lower limit of explosion concentration less than 25%) this machine is equipped with a carbon dioxide automatic fire extinguisher.

One of the first entries in your 2017 calendar should be the release date of a 30th Anniversary entry in the Double Dragon series. Arc System Works acquired the rights to the series last year, and just announced that Double Dragon IV will be released January 30th on the PS4 and Steam platforms. Despite being the first new update since 2012's Double Dragon Neon release and first update of any kind since Double Dragon Trilogy, its trailer flashes the classic side-scrolling beat 'em up action this series has been known for since it started as a coin-op in 1987.
According to a press release, three developers from the original game are helping to create it. The original planner, designer and composer from the arcade game are involved, which should help keep the classic feel going. The Japanese price of the game is listed as 800 yen ($6.84 US), so it shouldn't be too hard on the pockets once it's released.

China urges US to stop meddling in Hong Kong affairs
Source:CGTN Published: 2019/5/17 20:34:52
China firmly opposes any attempted foreign interference in Hong Kong's affairs, Lu Kang, a spokesperson for Chinese Foreign Ministry, told reporters at a press conference Friday regarding US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's comments on the newly proposed Hong Kong extradition law.
Pompeo met with Martin Lee, a leading figure of Hong Kong's opposition camp on Thursday, expressing his concern about the Hong Kong government's proposed amendments to the extradition law, calling it a threat to Hong Kong's rule of law, the U.S. State Department said in a statement.
Lu refuted Pompeo's remarks, reiterating that Hong Kong is China's Special Administrative Region (SAR) and its affairs are entirely China's internal affairs. China urges the U.S. to respect the legislation system in Hong Kong, and stop meddling Hong Kong's affairs and threatening the rule of law in Hong Kong, said Lu.
Lu further pointed out that Martin Lee is not a pro-democracy leader as the U.S. suggested in the statement, but a person with political purposes attempting to disturb social order with the help of external interference.
The Chinese central government has been comprehensively implementing the principles of "one country, two systems," "Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong" and its high degree of autonomy, since the return of Hong Kong, said Lu, adding that Hong Kong continues to enjoy prosperity and stability, and Hong Kong residents enjoy every right and freedom they are entitled to in accordance with the law.

Flooding at Croxdale, near Durham in the phenomenally wet summer of 2012. The River Browney, a tributary of the Wear, snakes past the hotel and is prone to flooding. Flood prevention here has stopped things getting as bad as previous years. The hotel has been flooded out on many occasions in the past (see photo below).
June was particularly poor. There were 3 days in the month with > 20 mm of rain. It was the 3rd wettest June since 1850 in Durham, with a total of 138.6mm. 2012 was the wettest year since 1850 in Durham. It was the dullest June on record in Durham since 1882.

Another day, another hotel gym for Fit Stanley to check out!
This hotel has a very nice, well-equipped gym, but Fit Stanley isn’t sure we can get our workout done within this time limit.
Since it was only 5:15 am and there was a bank of treadmills, we decided to see how long we could g0 before the gym filled up.
The treadmill screen had a track layout, so we made up a virtual track workout, based on 1/4 miles laps instead of set time intervals:
Virtual Track Workout
Lap 1: walking warm-up @ 3.5 mph
Laps 2-3: running warm-up @ 5.7 mph
Laps 4-5: running warm-up @ 6.0 mph
Lap 6: running ramp-up @ 6.3 mph
Lap 7: running ramp-up @ 6.5 mph
Laps 8-11: tempo run @ 6.7 mph
Laps 12-17: 1/4 mile repeats @ 7.0 mph with 1/8 mile recovery at 6.0 mph
Lap 18-19: running cool-down @ 6.3 mph
Laps 20-21: walking cool-down @ 3.7 mph
(I got to my cool-down before all the treadmills were taken, and by the time I finished the first cool-down lap, several other treadmills were open, so I don’t think I kept anyone from their workout.)
After a bit of stretching, it was time to get some coffee.
Does your gym have a time limit on its cardio equipment?
When is the last time you climbed a tree?

Welcome to the Screen Rant Box Office Prediction. Every week we put together an informal list of box office picks for the upcoming weekend - in collaboration with the Screen Rant Underground podcast Box Office Battle - to offer readers a rough estimate of how new releases (and returning holdovers) will perform in theaters.
For a recap of last week's box office totals, read our box office wrap-up from Fury's opening weekend - and scroll to the bottom of this post to see how our previous picks measured up.
Full disclosure: Box office predictions are not an exact science. We acknowledge that our picks may not always be correct. For the sake of offering a jumping off point for discussion, here are our picks for the weekend of October 24 - 26, 2014.
This weekend, action flick John Wick debuts in 2,450 theaters, while horror movie Ouija opens in 2,750 locations. In limited release, 23 Blast plays in 650 theaters, Citizenfour is released on five screens, and Laggies and White Bird in a Blizzard both get unspecified releases. St. Vincent also has nationwide expansion.
#1 - John Wick
Our pick for the top spot this week is the new action movie, John Wick. Despite early tracking indicating just an $11 million opening weekend, we think that this film will be able to exceed those expectations and become a viable hit. Early reviews have been extremely positive, with several outlets calling it one of the best movies of the year and praising star Keanu Reeves' performance. This type of production (established Hollywood veteran murders everyone in a homicidal, vengeful rampage) has proven to be very popular with moviegoers in recent years, as the numbers posted by Taken and The Equalizer prove.
Reeves obviously isn't the same kind of box office draw he was in the 1990s, when Speed and The Matrix made him a household name, and his latest offerings have illustrated that fact. Last year's 47 Ronin bombed with just $38.3 million domestically. However, we think this could mark the actor's comeback. John Wick is generating the kind of buzz and excitement Reeves' previous efforts have lacked and now that he's in the running for Marvel's Doctor Strange, people have even more reasons to support him. We'd say Keanu's back.
#2 - Ouija
Our pick for second is Ouija. The board game adaptation should find a nice audience this week due to it being so close to Halloween, a factor that has helped tracking go up to $29 million. Readers will note that that's significantly higher than the projected numbers for John Wick, but the actuals may play out a bit differently. When compared to the action film, Ouija has had a very small marketing campaign, meaning that awareness could be low. Also, early reviews aren't available for the horror movie just yet, which is something that could influence some viewers to stay away and go with the "safer" pick. There will no doubt be a sizable turnout for Ouija, but with it not on a lot of radars, it will be tough for it to come out on top.
#3 - Fury
Look for last week's champ, Fury (read our review), to drop to third in its second weekend. David Ayer's war drama grossed $23.7 million in its first three days, which is a solid total and a slight increase from what Monuments Men did earlier this year. The film's positive critical reception and strong audience word-of-mouth will keep it hanging around the top five for a couple more weeks, but it doesn't look as if Fury will have strong legs. John Wick will eat into the adult demographic, while Ouija will draw in casual moviegoers looking for a scare (and not the horrors of World War II). The competition looks too stiff for Fury to pull off the repeat.
#4 - Gone Girl
Coming in fourth should be Gone Girl (read our review), which has quickly become one of David Fincher's highest-grossing endeavors. In just three weeks of release, the adaptation of Gillian Flynn's popular novel has made $106.7 million, $17.5 million of which came last week. Even with strong competition in the form of Fury and John Wick, this awards contender should continue to post healthy numbers - thanks to the large following of the source material and the overall reception from critics and moviegoers alike. Its time in the top five may be coming to a close shortly, but for now, Gone Girl will sustain its impressive theatrical run.
#5 - The Book of Life
Rounding out the top five should be The Book of Life (read our review). The animated film made a little over $17 million during its first three days, which is a respectable total, but not what people typically expect with a family movie. Due to the lack of competition for this coveted segment, the film should continue to do solid business for itself. While it's not going to be the next LEGO Movie, it should still keep its spot in the top five for another week at least.
#10 - The Judge
Without knowing the exact total number of theaters St. Vincent is playing in, we can't confidently put it in the top five. The film does have a famous cast with Bill Murray and Melissa McCarthy in leading roles, which will help its commercial prospects, but it probably isn't playing in enough locations to crack the top of the charts (Men, Women & Children's "nationwide" expansion last week was 608 theaters). Even if it was, the existing holdovers and new releases are poised to have strong weekends, making it unlikely this smaller film can hang in.
That's it for this week's breakdown.
Now, if you want to participate in the weekly Box Office Battle, it's time for you to make your picks! In the comments section below, post what you think will be the top five movies this weekend at the box office as well as your own number ten tiebreaker. Then, tune into the Screen Rant Underground podcast for the results and find out who won.
Opening in theaters this week (Wide):
- John Wick - 2,450 theaters
- Ouija - 2,750 theaters
- St. Vincent - unspecified nationwide expansion
Opening in theaters this week (Limited):
- 23 Blast - 600 theaters
- Citizenfour - 5 theaters
- Laggies - unspecified
- White Bird in a Blizzard - unspecified
Box Office Battle Scoring Rules: You get three (3) points for each direct match with the weekend actuals and one (1) point for each movie placed within one spot of the exact position. A perfect score is 15 points. Tie-breakers are not worth any points but, in the event of a tie, the person with a tie-breaker selection closest to the number 10 spot will be awarded the win.
Last Week’s Official Box Office Battle Reader Winner (Fury opening): Sal reports that blackknight16 won with a score of 13.
For the record, here are our picks from last week - along with the corresponding amount of points we received for each pick (listed in parenthesis).
- #1 - Fury (3)
- #2 - Gone Girl (3)
- #3 - The Book of Life (3)
- #4 - Dracula Untold (0)
- #5 - Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day (1)
- #10 - Addicted
- Final Score: 10 points

That's right! This thread title IS ENTIRELY IN ALL CAPS REDUNDANTLY with exlamations!! which means you HAVE to read it(also means its brilliant by me). It is also NEW which also gets attention and its URGENT because I want you to look at me right away! And I'm asking for you to HELP me get way more attention than I deserve by looking at this dumb thread.
LOL... one of your best.
There's too much dumb stuff eleswhere to distract our attention. It's a sad state of affairs.
how can you be posting this ivandh while you are having a power cut ?
Interesting so far ( not average to be sure ).
How can anyone sleep in the middle of all of this excitement ? ( the only thing that is missing is fireworks ).
Maybe a fire-eater?
Well yes, I just hope that he doesn't set the Theater on fire.
Come to think of it, he looks more like a fire belcher.
At this point I must say that the lack of help forthcoming to this point is quite disturbing. I mean we have a photo of a fire-eater, but no waffles ( or any other photos for that matter ).
Do I need to spell it out?!?
Well this is a but odd I must say. Often when someone adds a couple of good photos to a thread things start take off. However things are rather quiet here, hmmm.

Kenya’s biggest bank by market value has suspended plans to sell its first green bond in its home country and a social bond in the Democratic Republic of Congo due to relatively high borrowing costs.
(Bloomberg) — Kenya’s biggest bank by market value has suspended plans to sell its first green bond in its home country and a social bond in the Democratic Republic of Congo due to relatively high borrowing costs.
Equity Group Holdings Plc has been working with the International Finance Corp. to sell the bonds by 2025, but “stubbornly high interest rates” offered by the government in Kenya is stifling demand for private-sector debt, according to Chief Executive Officer James Mwangi.
The Central Bank of Kenya has increased its benchmark interest rate by 350 basis points in the past 15 months, while monetary policy authorities in Congo more than doubled the key interest rate to 25% last week.
“We have been caught up by the macroeconomic environment that has forced us to put that on hold because of the high interest rates that the government is offering,” Mwangi said of Kenyan securities in an interview in the capital, Nairobi. “We can’t successfully offer a bond that undermines the current interest regimes because people will be forced to mark-to-market.”
Borrowers can hardly compete with a coupon rate of 16.8% for a five-year Kenyan Treasury bond. Equity, which had started reducing investment in government securities, reversed that move and bumped up purchases by 33% to lock in the attractive returns.

Another constraint to funding will be the shift in the Libor rate. Nearly 50% of Equity’s loan book is funded in dollars, which means its US currency funding costs climbed to 10.5% from 4.5% in the past year, according to Nairobi-based Sterling Research.
The Nairobi-based bank sees high inflation persisting and disposable income remaining low in its six African markets during the next six to 12 months, said Mary Nteere, Equity’s head of financial and regulatory reporting.
Equity’s cost of risk — the proportion of money associated with managing risk — will be in the high range of 1.9% to 2.5%, she said. Non-performing loans ratio rose to 9.8% and the lender boosted its bad loans coverage by 73% in the first half.
“That ratio you’re seeing of 9.8% is likely to remain sticky in that period and in light of that we’d like to retain our cost of risk high so that we retain our coverage,” Nteere told investors.

If ISRO exemplified Indian jugaad with Mangalyaan, here is another stalwart you can add to the wall of fame. Mohammad Raees Markani – a car mechanic from Madhya Pradesh – has perhaps found a way to rescue the Indian public from the woes of ever rising fuel price by designing a working motor vehicle that runs on water.
Markani, 44, had been modifying an 800 cc engine for five years to reach what he believes is a scientific breakthrough.
The eco-friendly car uses a mix of water and carbides – a concoction that costs less than INR10 per litre.
The genius behind the invention says: “The car runs on acetylene gas , which is formed from a chemical reaction between calcium carbide and water. The gas is used for several industrial purposes including welding and portable lighting for miners. But in my case, I am using it to propel the car engines.
I have made other changes to the engines, which helps the overall performance of the car . So basically, it is just about the water.”
Markani has never attended school and has been a car mechanic for over 15 years. With his invention which has been hailed as a great leap in Indian society, he has become a local celebrity.
“This idea struck my mind while I was gas welding a part of my car in my workshop many years ago. But I did not know how to go about it,” Markani said.
“Somehow, I made a start and it took five years to make this efficient engine.”
With global warming no longer a joke, the market for environmental-friendly fuels and vehicles is becoming bigger and automobile companies are fervently looking for technology that can make their products less polluting. Needless to say, Markani’s car appears like a good option to them.
Markani now has a patent for his water car and has been invited by Chinese automobile companies to to develop the idea further.
All the companies that are interested in Raees’s water car project will have to meet his one condition – any plant to make new cars will be established only in his hometown in Madhya Pradesh.
Markani said: “I want things to change in my hometown. So this is where my work should continue.”
The only way to top this economic deal would be through bargaining with the fuel supplier. That achievement will warrant a different story.

This German made machine is almost a direct copy of Hiram Maxim machine gun and was the standard armament for most of that nation’s fighter aircraft. There are 4 version of the Spandau MG08. This variant is the 1915 LMG 08, which was originally produced as a light machinegun for the infantry and produced into the 1920's. This is the classic LMG most often seen; however it was not used on airplanes until mid war. Problems with the aerial version of the MG08 (see lMG 08), resulted in some individual pilots replacing broken lMG08s with infantry LMG in late 1916; these guns proved more reliable and manufacturers began mounting this version on new planes in 1917. Our model has the short mounting bracket used in airplanes; the longer bracket most often seen on surviving pieces was for mounting on a tripod.

Antidepressants could be the best adjunctive treatment for adult outpatients with schizophrenia who are taking a second-generation antipsychotic and need a change in medication, results of an observational study suggest. Patients who added antidepressants to their treatment had a lower risk of psychiatric hospitalization and emergency room visits than did those who tried an alternative antipsychotic, and those who took mood stabilizers and benzodiazepines were significantly more likely to die over 365 days.
Specifically, “the possibility that adjunctive use of gabapentin is associated with increased risk of death raises a serious concern,” wrote, MPH, of the department of psychiatry at Columbia University, New York, and his associates in .
Often, Dr. Stroup and his associates noted, second-generation antipsychotics often are insufficient to alleviate symptoms and leave patients with functional limitations.said Dr. Stroup, who is also affiliated with the New York State Psychiatric Institute, and his associates.
Using a Medicaid database, the researchers retrospectively tracked 81,921 outpatients with schizophrenia (aged 18-64 years; mean age, 41 years; 46% women) who were treated with a single antipsychotic from 2001-2010. Each patient added an antidepressant (31,117), a benzodiazepine (11,941), a mood stabilizer (12,849), or another second-generation antipsychotic (26,014).
The researchers examined treatment outcomes over a yearlong period after patients began their new treatment and compared the various groups to the reference group (those who began taking an additional antipsychotic medication).
Compared with the reference group, patients who took an antidepressant had a lower risk of psychiatric hospitalization (hazard ratio, 0.84; 95% confidence interval, 0.80-0.88), while the benzodiazepine group had a higher risk (HR, 1.08; 95% CI, 1.02-1.15), and the mood stabilizer group saw no major difference (HR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.94-1.03). Similar results were found for the risk of psychiatric emergency department visits, compared with the reference group: The HR with the addition of an antidepressant was 0.92 (95% CI, 0.88-0.96), 1.12 with a benzodiazepine (95% CI, 1.07-1.19), and 0.99 with a mood stabilizer (95% CI, 0.94-1.04).
In regard to mortality, the researchers found that mood stabilizers and benzodiazepines stood apart on the risk front with HRs of 1.31 (95% CI, 1.04-1.66) and 1.22 (95% CI, 0.98-1.52), respectively. Among mood stabilizer use, Gabapentin accounted for 1,755 initiations (13.7%) and was associated with 45 deaths (28.0%), the researchers reported. “No other mood stabilizer appeared to be associated with a higher rate of death than the others.”
Dr. Stroup and his associates cited several limitations. One is that the results might not be generalizable because the investigators looked only at patients who were enrolled in the Medicaid program. Nevertheless, “improved pharmacologic treatment of schizophrenia and consequent reduced need for hospitalization and ED visits associated with more antidepressant and less benzodiazepine use would represent a significant benefit for individuals and for public health,” they wrote.
The study authors reported various relationships with drugmakers, including Auspex, Intra-Cellular Therapies, Eli Lilly, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Merck. The study was funded by a Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute award.

EVANSVILLE - The Indiana Department of Transportation is warning motorists that workers will be making repairs next week to all lanes of the Lloyd Expressway one Evansville's East Side.
An INDOT crew is scheduled to do "spot paving" and patching on the Lloyd throughout week starting at 7 a.m. Monday between Stockwell and Burkhardt roads. Crews are expected to work on that stretch of road from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day through Friday. However, inclement weather could delay the work, department spokeswoman Cher Elliott said.
Spot paving, which could also include milling if needed is part of a road's regular maintenance, she said. Only one lane will be affected at a time. Elliott said workers plan on doing the work lane-by-lane, meaning they will make all the repairs needed in a single lane in the affected stretch and then move to another lane of travel.
"What they will do, they'll go and address any and all of those areas in that particular location, and then they'll go to another lane," Elliott said.
There will be flaggers out in the work zone to direct traffic.

I’ve lately been hearing anecdotes of patients being prescribed aspirin after total hip or knee replacement, and I know of one person, a hemostasis expert, who was prescribed no antithrombotic therapy subsequent to TKRs on both knees with no adverse effects. I’m curious about these changes and invite comments about your experiences or experiences of your acquaintances or patients. Is aspirin safe? Is it safe to go without any antithrombotics?

A mosque is a place of worship for Muslims—a place to kneel, stoop one's head and pray solemnly. Oftentimes, it is also used to carry out various other religious activities.
The first thing that might catch one's attention about this mosque in Kota Baru Parahyangan (KBP) is the absence of a dome, which is almost always a quintessential characteristic of mosques.
However, the architects have informed that the dome is not a cultural/religious identity, hence not a necessity when it comes to designing an Islamic place of worship.
The architecture of the KBP mosque is unique in that it uses stacked stones as the main façade to create tectonic effect, while embedding Islamic text/calligraphy on the façade as a graphic element and reminder prayer.
The primary shape of the mosque takes the form of a square, which seems the most efficient since Muslims pray in straight rows facing a specific direction or the Qiblah.The structural columns are arranged in such way that the façade seems like it is not supported by any frame. This shape also alludes to Ka'bah, the most important structure in the Islamic world, to which all Muslims' prayers are directed.
The tall pole-like structure next to the square building form is called the minaret, an important element for mosque. It was used in the past for someone to call out to all Muslims to prayer on top of the minaret whenever prayer time has come. Today, the minaret still serves the same function, except loudspeaker. In a way, the minaret has become an icon of mosques; anyone searching for a mosque can one from afar.
With a capacity to accommodate approximately 1,000 people, the mosque is also designed to 'blend in' with nature. The stacked stones allow for natural ventilation without the need for air-conditioning. Surrounded by water, the ambient temperature around the mosque will be lower during the hot season. Once inside, the people are able to look out and appreciate the external scenery.

|LBAP Species â€“ European Eel|
Eels were once widespread in Carmarthenshire’s rivers but there has been a rapid decline of this mysterious creatures about which there is still a lot left to learn.
Eels are a major part of the diet of wildlife like otters and herons and form an vital part of the Welsh freshwater ecosystems. In addition eels also provide an income to 250,000 fishermen across Europe.
It is now generally thought that European eels (Anguilla anguilla) are born in the Sargasso Sea near Bermuda and as larvae are swept by the Gulf Stream towards Europe, a journey that may take a year. Changing into "glass eels" when they reach the continental shelf, in the spring they begin to move through estuaries and into freshwater.
Now the eel larvae develop pigmentation, at which point they are known as elvers and look like smaller versions of adult eels. These elvers continue to move upstream and again change colour to become brown or yellow eels.
When eels reach full maturity - some can live up to 40 years and grow to 1 m long - they migrate back to the ocean where they return to the Sargasso Sea, spawn and die.
Across Europe eels have declined by as much as 95% in the last 25 years, according to the Environment Agency. Reports show that the number of young eels arriving in Britain's estuaries, rivers and streams each spring is significantly down on previous years. Catches of glass eels are well down – expected catches of 40 kilos have been reduced to 1 kilo. This important fish species certainly seems to be in trouble - which is of concern to fisheries officials, conservationists and fishermen.
One reason for their decline may be that artificial structures such as weirs and dams are stopping glass eels reaching the freshwater habitats where they mature. Other theories are that a parasite may be killing them off, or that illegal fishing methods are taking their toll.
The Environment Agency are installing special river "ladders" in parts of Wales, including at Dolbantau weir on the River Clettwr in Llanfihangel-Ar-Arth, Carmarthenshire in an attempt to halt a decline in the eel population. The ladders are brush-like in design and provide eels with the grip to climb up and pass weirs that block their way. Using these special ladders, they can get past these weirs and reach the wetlands and habitats upstream where they can mature and thrive.

Hengli Heavy Industries wins deal for 4+4 bulkers
Hengli Shipbuilding (Dalian) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Hengli Heavy Industry, has signed a contract for the construction of four 82,000 dwt bulk carriers and four 180,000 dwt bulk carriers, marking the shipbuilding company’s entrance into the large-scale bulk carrier construction market.
The shipbuilder did not disclose the identity of the shipowner behind the order, revealing only that is a ‘mainstream bulk carrier owner in Europe, with a number of shipbuilding contracts with many well-known Chinese shipyards.
The order comes as the yard, formerly known as STX Dalian, relaunches operations under Hengli’s wing after going bankrupt in 2014 due to its inability to pay off debts.
Hengli acquired the bankrupt STX Dalian yard in July last year for RMB2.11bn (approximately equal to $328.66 million) and invested a further RMB18bn into the facilities to develop it to be a high-end marine equipment manufacturing base.
The shipbuilder revived its operations under the new brand earlier this year. Hengli Heavy Industries said that within a month, it has signed nearly 30 new shipbuilding orders, entering the ranks of the construction of mainstream bulk carriers and large bulk carriers.

The Hobby Lobby in Kenosha will move to a new location.
The retailer has leased 53,000 square feet in Southport Plaza, 6804 Green Bay Road, in Kenosha, according to Mid-America Real Estate-Wisconsin, which represented the building owner. The space had been a Jewel-Osco grocery store and then was vacant for several years, Mid-America principal Dan Rosenfeld said. The plaza is anchored by a Kohl’s Department Store and Gordmans.
The new store is expected to open in 2015. The Kenosha Hobby Lobby is now at 5914 75th St.
