Right now, I expect to be available to work on this project anytime from Mid-September to Mid-October (during the sign of Libra, I guess). I expect it to take a week to complete properly. I would work on any kind of diesel engine, car, truck, tractor, whatever, I just want to start gaining experience.
I've been reading a lot about these conversions, which heat waste veggie oil (WVO) until it is viscous enough to be burned as diesel or bio-diesel would be in the engine. I would probably base the conversion on the Greasel.com system, which has a proven track-record. Except I think I can save some money in a few key areas, and get the oil hotter than the stock system. Of course, I'd be willing to work with the interests and financial constraints of the donor engine's owner. I'd also be willing to help source local oil supplies and paint the car to reflect its new status.
We could make it a workshop if others are interested in participating. Ultimately I would like to start an/work with an alternative fuels co-op in the region, but I need experience first.
Please write an email if you're at all interested in offering your vehicle for conversion, or if you would like to participate in a workshop (should they be available).

Scrapbook Layout: Dream Job
This is a layout I originally shared on Paper Lovers Studio for Inspired By... Challenge #3. It was also featured as part of my contributions to Find Your Voice. I still wanted to share it here, though, because I like to have a central online collection of all the layouts I've done. I really wanted to use a mint/gold/navy/white color scheme and I found a perfect photo to go with that scheme, so I went with it. I love how it came out and I really love that I was able to use the adorable sequin stamps from my Studio Calico kit. I heat embossed them with white and gold embossing powder. In case you were wondering why there's no journaling on this page, check out Lesson Two of Find Your Voice. This layout had a very long story involved and my contribution to Lesson Two explains that story and what I did with it.

text: Inspired by the region’s natural landscape and by its simplicity, the house is an expressive countryside home, surrounded by lush vegetation and a very green and healthy environment. The architects concentrated on creating a breezy atmosphere: the ground floor became a fluid, interconnected space. This villa you can see in the photos reveals the concept of living without borders in a natural, comfortable environment. The wooden facade, creates a picture-perfect exterior, accentuated by the use of simple patio furniture in the garden. Interior spaces are defined by the white beams hovering over the serene arrangements accentuated by natural wooden walls. The existing flooring at the entrance and living room is used as a way to detach the interior design from over-exposure to modern design and keep the balance of the overall look. This fascinating interior design leaves you wanting more and creates a few new ideas for anyone looking for inspiration. Enjoy!

Obesity is a chronic disease that affects many people and often requires long-term treatment to promote and sustain weight loss. According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey there are > 64% of adults in the US who are either overweight or obese. Health risks or conditions associated with obesity include: diabetes, coronary heart disease, dyslipidemia, hypertension, stroke, sleep apnea and respiratory problems, osteoarthritis, gallbladder disease, some cancers.
There are many factors that contribute to the increase in obesity in today’s society. According to The Obesity Epidemic: Pathophysiology Consequences of Obesity 2002, some contributing factors of obesity include the food supply being abundant and low in cost; the availability of foods with high caloric density in prepackaged forms; fast food restaurants; reduced amounts of physical activity; and the widespread availability of electronic devices that promote a sedentary lifestyle particularly among children.
In recent times, the high prices of branded prescription drugs in the US have been contrary to its commitments towards the welfare of its citizens, especially the elderly. This can be attributed to a misplaced patent regulatory mechanism, which on one hand limits the entry of cheaper generics and on the other, inflates costs as a result of a delayed drug approval process.
This has led to a thriving illegal importation of prescription drugs from overseas, especially Canada. In such a scenario, the US faces an unenviable task of not only restricting the inflow of these drugs into the US markets but also giving impetus to the consumer access to cheaper drugs within the US.

In 1998, James Thomson of the University of Wisconsin-Madison derived the first human embryonic stem cell line. According to the National Institutes of Health, stem cells are “cells differ from other kinds of cells in the body. All stem cells—regardless of their source—have three general properties: they are capable of dividing and renewing themselves for long periods; they are unspecialized; and they can give rise to specialized cell types.” Stem cells are generally classified as either embryonic stem cells (ESC) or adult stem cells. Because of the unique nature of stem cells (as compared to other somatic cells), they have become of enormous importance in medical research, particularly as potential cures for life threatening diseases.

The Laguna 14|12 Bandsaw is one of the smallest and most affordable bandsaws made by Laguna. It runs on 110V and is aimed at small professional shops and home shops.
Although the 14|12 is more affordable than Laguna’s bigger, professional bandsaws, it is still a premium product. This can be seen from the build quality. The wheels are made from cast iron, as is the table, and it uses Laguna’s famous ceramic blade guides.
The blade guides can be set without any tools, and the fact that they are ceramic sets them apart from the competition. For example, on Hammer’s bandsaws you can also get ceramic blade guides but they are only available as an upgrade costing several hundred dollars.
The 14|12 also has most features you would expect on a premium bandsaw. This include a quick release lever, which makes it easier to change blades and helps prolong the lifespan of your blades. It has a magnetic blade cover, optional work light, and windows for both blade tracking and blade tension.
There is also an upgraded version of the 14|12, called the 14|BX, which has a foot pedal break, more powerful motor, and a frame made from a heavier type of steel.
Unlike most American premium woodworking brands, Laguna actually also sells their machines elsewhere. Because of shipping and import costs, they are priced a little higher in for example Europe than the US, making the slightly less attractive compared to the competition.
Excellent bandsaw for serious enthusiasts with good build quality and solid features for a reasonable price.

Faith in Action Alabama
Our mission is to honor God by dismantling systemic racism to create pathways of opportunity for all Alabamians.
GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION
For nearly two years, FIAAL’s Birmingham Peacemaker leaders have led weekly night walks in local neighborhoods as both a way to patrol the streets and show a united, nonviolent front that stands in the face of unrest. In 2019, leaders held a rapid response victims team training for over 30 Faith in Action Alabama volunteer leaders; have continued to engage city officials and other stakeholders to secure funding support for a proven anti-gun violence street outreach strategy.; and secured several criminal justice reform commitments from the Jefferson County district attorney. In November 2019 new numbers showing reduced gun violence rates in Birmingham, AL was released by the city's police department The reduction was partly attributed to Faith in Action Alabama's work in helping to make this possible, with a spotlight on their weekly night walks in the community.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM
Prayer vigils, public forums, and actions at the state capitol are just some of the many vehicles FIAAL has implemented in order to lower mass incarceration rates in the state. In February 2019, Faith in Action Alabama’s Mobile Hub brought more than 200 community members together to discuss the importance of creating a Mobile County public defender’s office, and highlight to key county officials the broad community support for the creation of a county public defender’s office. In March 2019, Faith in Action Alabama Huntsville leaders secured Mayor Tommy Battle’s public commitment that all of the city’s police officers will participate in implicit bias training.
Questioning their place as clergy and faith leaders and if they are providing the right leadership to pivot against the actions of the criminal justice system has played a strong part in guiding their decision to step up and speak out about alternatives that can and should be provided to offenders that would benefit from mentorship, education, and mental health treatment.
The push to elect lawmakers that are focused on protecting the rights of minorities and immigrants became critical in the 2017 Birmingham mayoral election and the 2018 Alabama Senate special election, respectively. With both events, FIAAL worked hard on securing voter registration and informing citizens soon on just exactly where the candidates stood on key issues. In October 2018, FIAAL hosted a public forum for District Attorney candidates; and FIAAL leaders have also convened in Montgomery to press state legislators on supporting specific reforms to address systemic racism.
Faith in Action Alabama
Gun Violence Prevention
Birmingham Peacemaker Anti-Gun Violence Campaign
Focused on securing city of Birmingham’s commitment to implement a proven anti-gun violence street outreach strategy.
Weekly night walks in two neighborhoods hard-hit by gun violence. The vision of the night walks is anchored by a commitment to listen, learn, love.
Rapid Response Victims Initiative – teams of Peacemaker volunteers provide support and information to need social services to families of victims of gun violence.
Local Criminal Justice Reform
Faith in Action Alabama’s Birmingham and Huntsville grassroots volunteers are engaging their area’s district attorneys in concerning local reforms to help address Alabama’s mass incarceration crisis. In Mobile, Faith in Action Alabama’s grassroots volunteers are moving an accountability campaign to help ensure the effective development of Mobile County’s recently established public defender’s office.
Democracy - Voter Rights/Voter Engagement
Faith in Action Alabama is moving a statewide voter rights restoration campaign to win back the voting rights of disenfranchised formerly incarcerated individuals. 15 percent of Alabama’s voting age African Americans have been stripped of the write to vote due to felony convictions and overall 8 percent of Alabama’s voting age residents are denied the right because of convictions.
As part of its voter rights restoration campaign, Faith in Action Alabama is collaborating with other organizations to address Alabama’s mass incarceration crisis. Mass incarceration is the pernicious form of voter suppression in Alabama.
Leading up to the 2020 November elections, Faith in Action Alabama will lead a statewide non-partisan voter engagement project.

The Fiscal Residence Checker helps tax professionals to identify the country where a person’s income is legally taxable under double-taxation treaties modelled after Art. 15 of the OECD Model Convention.
Through an interactive questionnaire that gathers all relevant information, the first step in assessing a person’s tax burden is simplified. This information is then legally analyzed and the applicable fiscal residence is determined as a result. The assessment aims to avoid the burden of double taxation by clearly identifying the country that has the legal right to tax a person’s income.
Under various double taxation treaties, persons who work in one country but are residents in another may avoid double taxation. Therefore, a country’s taxation powers with regard to a person’s income cannot be determined without considering the double-taxation treaty that exists between the two countries. On the basis of the applicable treaty, factors related to the nature of the work such as the number of days he or she spends abroad and the registered address of the employer are considered.
The Fiscal Residence Checker automates the process of ascertaining which country has taxation powers on a case by case basis. Using BRYTER double taxation software, the logical structure of double taxation treaties is transformed into a digital decision tree. The user is guided through an interactive questionnaire that collects all the necessary information to determine the respective tax liabilities in different countries. Due to the modular logic of our financial services automation software, the final result is based on the user’s inputs and the tool is able to determine tax liabilities for any combination of countries.
Automated & standardized
The Fiscal Residence Checker automatically assesses tax liabilities through a standardized process. This ensures consistent assessments that are independent from the individual user.
The Fiscal Residence Checker identifies the country with taxation powers in a fraction of the time it would take to conduct a manual assessment.
Centralized audit trail
All relevant inputs and triggered decisions of the Fiscal Residence Checker are documented in a centralized audit trail. Users are therefore able to validate the automated results where needed.
The Fiscal Residence Checker can easily be integrated into existing IT infrastructure. Result summaries can be linked to a central system of record or processed by other tools.
The Fiscal Residence Checker accommodates unique workflows and allows for easy expansion to cover any number of country specific tax regulations and use cases.
How it works
Through a customizable, user-friendly and interactive questionnaire, all relevant input data is collected from the user. With no limitation on the number of countries, users can input any combination of countries and incomes into the tool.
As the tax treaties are transformed into modular logic, the user’s inputs are automatically categorized and a legal assessment of the applicable fiscal residence is provided. The task of assessing the tax liabilities may be linked to other processes, such as sending the result to the taxpayer.
All assessments made through the Fiscal Residence Checker are stored in a central database for future retrieval and documentation purposes. The open architecture of the tool allows new double taxation treaties to be added into the underlying logic to update the tool periodically.

Soon, your smart phone will have to recognize you first, and after that step, will let you input the password.
Google is starting testing a new login method, that will replace the current password system “based on trust”. This system will monitor your typical behavior when using your smart phone.
Part of the Abacus project, named “Trust API” was presented on the Google’s development conference, and in June will be tested on a few financial institutions in the USA.
This system is developed for use on smart phones and the way it works is by constant check of the numerous personal indicators that may grant an access to different accounts, or access to the phone itself. Instead of a password, the phone will analyze your face, voice, the way you type, the way you move as well as your location.
All those results will be sent in “API” who will generate “trust results” and it will show if it is really you that uses that phone or if its someone else.
The whole idea is to make the devices more safe. Anyone can steal your password, but it would be much more difficult for someone to copy the unique way that each of us uses his or her personal smart phone. Google believes that this system would be ten times more safe than the fingerprint scanner.
The testing will start soon, and Dan Kaufman from Google says that this technology would be available to the developers by the end of this year, if the results go according to the plan. That means that remembering the passwords of all user accounts that we poses in the near future could become a past.

Fig Bars I
This is a great dessert, i had no problems with it. I used 1tsp vanilla. The only changes i made after reading the reviews was...
#1-added no water to the 3cups fresh figs, cooked on med low until thick paste. Did not kneed dough,sqeezed into 2 ball, then flattened to roll out on a lightly floured surface. When placed in dish dough was alittle larger, so after adding the fig paste, i laid the dough back over the figs, then added the top.
I will be making this one again!!!

13 Oct 2009 RefGen Phone Conference (Archived)
An Idea for Reference Genome Annotation Direction
There is a huge amount of potential that could be exploited from the co-curation activities made available via the RefGen project. Therefore would it be worth setting up a scheme whereupon GOC groups could submit short proposals to the RefGen curation body, to suggest possible co-curation projects which the RefGen curators could choose to focus on for a specified amount of time? I have outlined some possible advantages to this idea below:
Advantages - the group/curator heading a chosen project would have an invested interest in helping to push forward the co-curation work; to help improve annotation consistency and the GO terms available. These curators will therefore support Pascale's coordination efforts. - as the selected genes in a project will have a common theme, all curators from the different groups should generate an extended understanding of the biology in a particular area; this should help improve the consistency of annotations available for a particular system, and ontology development discussions.
- projects should aim to eventually generate targeted publications on usefulness of the GO resource with respect to a particular area of biology . For instance, a publications could compare the annotations generated for the same system across diverse species, exploring interesting differences/similarities in the data, perhaps linking up with external investigators in the chosen domain.
- focused co-curation could directly aid ontology development work. For instance where an ontology development effort has recently generated new terms to describe a particular process, these could be provided to the group to be 'road tested' (with the understanding that terms need to be publicly available and that ontology developers are confident that a reasonable number of terms already exist in a usable state).
- where a recent ontology content meeting has generated a specific set of terms for an area of biology; co-ordinated curation work could help to rapidly generate annotations that apply the newly created terms and ensure the new terms are appropriate for all species. If this work is carried out with a recent ontology development effort, then external experts involved in the content meeting may also still be interested in helping with questions arising from annotation discussions.
Possible requirements for these co-curation proposals: 1. project proposals should be designed to create annotations to targets that are of interest to human biomedical research 2. proposals should incorporate a distinct time-requirement; i.e. a limited number of proteins should be proposed that would be possible to annotate in a period of approximately 3-4 months 3. at the end of this annotation period, the project should aim to generate a publication that demonstrates the usefulness of GO annotation resource and the value of the co-curation effort. The curators leading the co-curation exercise will be primary authors of such a publication as well as the Reference Genome group. 4. The annotation effort should, if possible encourage external collaborations to use and expand the information resource provided by the co-curation effort.
By using multiple focused, small annotation projects it would be hoped that more curators could become confident enough to be involved in ontology development efforts and that this may also help demonstrate to external users the usefulness of the the Reference Genome initiative; two points emphasized at the recent GOC meeting.
There are a number of ongoing projects where this proposal could be applied, which include:
- The current Co-curation project for the Loop of Henle (this has been initiated by Yasmin for the Renal GO Initiative, and involves 4 curators annotating ~200 conserved orthologs found to be involved in the development of a kidney structure which differs greatly been species, see: http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Loop_of_Henle_Cocuration): GOA-UniProtKB
- Selected genes involved in cardiovascular development (targeted to use terms developed by the recent Heart Ontology Content workshop): BHF-UCL
- Selected genes involved in lung development: MGI
- Signaling. When the GO editors are satisfied that the terms in this area satisfactory - curation groups could be asked to take a selection of different signaling pathways to test the structure of the ontology.
Possible future Projects: Ageing, Cell cycle, DNA repair (GOA-UniProtKB; Rachael Huntley)

The weekend is for relaxing, meeting friends and family, doing chores that we have neglected for long, cooking, and eating delicious things. But doing all these things on the weekend does not mean that you ignore your diet and health. Unfortunately, that’s what happens most of the time.
Through the week, we make conscious efforts to eat healthily, get in our workout any way possible, and sleep and wake up on time.
But come Friday night, and we become lazy. In the next two days, we plan to meet friends or family for brunches or dinners or go out to spend time with our kids. All of this is necessary, and it makes us happy, but somehow these plans always end up making us forget about our health.
Most people forgo exercise both of these days and eat carbs and all the items that they would never eat on the weekdays. While eating your favorite food is sometimes okay. But if you gorge on these, without portion control or exercise, all your hard work to maintain weight or lose it, will go out the window.
When you control yourself the whole week and eat a lot of weekends, your weight keeps fluctuating, which is bad for your health.
So, what can you do? Do you not enjoy festivities or indulgence on weekends with your family?
Well, not exactly. You can eat your favorite chocolate dessert, but try to make it healthier or eat a single slice, and get in some workout as simple as a walk is perfect too.
Here are some other ways that can help you stay on track on weekends.
1. Plan your weekend menu
If you are calling friends or family over on the weekend for brunches or dinner, plan the menu carefully. Even if you are not, planning it using the Canva planner is perfect for your health.
Create a menu that has all your favorite food, but use healthy ingredients. For instance, want to eat a cake? Use whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour instead of refined, and use jaggery instead of sugar. It will taste amazing, and you will get to eat your favorite thing.
Planning your menu ensures that you don’t order take out or make something which is unhealthy. It also helps you remember that eating in moderation is great for you.
The same goes for going out. Choose the place which has healthy eating options so that you can keep your diet on track.
2. Plan a day out which doesn’t involve eating
Social life for overall happiness and a healthy body and soul is critical. So, going to meet your friends and family is crucial. One way to ensure that it doesn’t affect your diet is to make plans that don’t involve eating. So, a museum tour or a coffee date or spend the day at a park. It is a great way to catch-up without affecting your health.
3. Start the morning the right way
You may not want to wake up early on weekends, but you do need to start it the right way. So, get in your workout the first thing in the morning. It can be a walk or a jog with your friend in the park. Or you can go to breakfast at a healthier café or eat right in the morning. It will ensure that you will start the day on a positive note before the weekend distraction begins.
4. Play safe with alcohol
You don’t have to deprive yourself of alcohol on weekends while trying to lose weight or maintain it. But you do need to be careful with it. So, that means sticking with a single glass and adding no enhancer which makes it high in calories.
5. Monitor portions
Weekends are for indulgences, whether it’s at home or a restaurant. Don’t deprive yourself of eating your favorite dessert or a starter. But do portion control. If you order a plate of fries for yourself and your friends, don’t eat the whole thing. Eat a small portion, this way you won’t load up on calories, and your palette will be happy too.
6. Plan a simple workout on weekends
Weekends make you sluggish more so than usual. So, having a workout scheduled for these two days is the best way to make correct and healthy food choices. You don’t have to do 45 minutes or a 1-hour workout. You can do a five-minute HIIT workout, or you can go for an aggressive one hour walk.
A simple workout over the weekends will keep you on track and ensure you don’t feel those Monday blues.
7. Eat all foods
Everyone around us tells us that you should not eat this or that if you want to stay fit or lose weight. But when you restrict one type of food or label it bad, it can make you indulge in it a lot during the weekend. That is the worst as it can lead to severe obstacles in your diet.
So, eat everything, if you feel like eating a bar of chocolate, eat a single piece instead of devouring it all. This way, when you know, you can eat anything and everything in a week, in a controlled portion, all these things won’t tempt you on the weekend.
8. Don’t compromise on sleep
Weekend means you can catch up on your sleep. So, if you stay up late on Friday, it will make you wake up too late on the weekend, which will lead to hunger pangs. Catching up on sleep means going to bed at a reasonable time, and waking up at the usual time. This way, you can work out, make healthy eating habits, and more.
Also, this way, you will have the whole day to catch up on Netflix and chores, and so on.
Weekends can be tough, but these tips will help you stay on track. Also, don’t forget to track your food even on weekends, this way if you are overboard with your calories, you can balance it out.

Lady Gaga spread her wings as she arrived at the UK premiere of House of Gucci wearing a sheer purple dress complete with a dramatic cape.
The singer and actress, known for her daring and eccentric outfits, paired the piece with fishnet tights and platform boots, repeatedly throwing her cape in the air for the cameras.
Co-stars Salma Hayek, Jared Leto, Jeremy Irons and Adam Driver also walked the red carpet at the event in Leicester Square.
Hayek, who is also seen in new Marvel film Eternals, plays Giuseppina “Pina” Auriemma, a self-styled mystic, in the Sir Ridley Scott-directed feature.
The Mexican-American star wore a floor-length gown cinched at her waist and completed the outfit with a necklace and matching bracelet.
Leto, who stars as Paolo Gucci, was among the first to arrive on the carpet.
He opted for a teal velvet suit although he eschewed wearing a shirt and carried a clutch bag shaped like a heart.
The crime drama follows Patrizia Reggiani, played by Gaga, a socialite who had her fashion dynasty heir husband Maurizio Gucci murdered in a case that gripped Italy.
House Of Gucci will arrive in UK cinemas on November 26.


Last night, Twitter appeared to have been subjected to large-scale cyber-attacks due to security breaches. A large number of well-known companies and celebrities’ authentication accounts were controlled by anonymous hackers.
Those affected include Tesla founder Elon Musk, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, and Apple’s official account.
Subsequently, some American politicians and top tycoons such as Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Warren Buffett, Michael Bloomberg, and Uber official accounts were also controlled.
After the hackers control these accounts, they are used for virtual currency phishing, that is, publishing false virtual currency welfare activities to induce users to transfer virtual currency to their accounts.
It is quite common for a well-known account to be hacked on Twitter because of security issues, but in most cases, it is not a Twitter vulnerability but a celebrity who has been phished to reveal the password.
But this time the situation is obviously different. The attacker seems to have discovered a key security vulnerability on Twitter, which allows the attacker to control a large number of celebrity accounts in batches.
This cyber-attack is similar to the previous attack on Twitter celebrity accounts, which is to control the accounts to publish fake virtual currency welfare activities for fraud.
For example, an attacker uses an Elon Musk account to publish a phishing website. The phishing website claims that the user can get double the amount of the refund after paying bitcoin.
In the end, the hackers defrauded about 114,000 US dollars of Bitcoin in this scam campaign.


It had already been leaked that Yamaha would provide the MT-09 three-cylinder with a larger displacement. Now we know: Yamaha is reviewing this bestseller for 2021 and not saving any money.
For the past eight years, the MT-09 has been adequately powered by an 847cc inline three-cylinder engine. With the inevitable update to the Euro 5 emission standard, Yamaha has carried out a major overhaul of this engine. The displacement increased by a small 42 to 889 cc, the power increased from 4 to 119 hp, the torque from 88 to 93 Nm.
Numbers not spectacular so far, but there is much more. The engine was completely revised and not simply punctured. Rather, the 78mm bore was retained and the stroke was extended from 59.1mm to 62.1mm. All important parts such as the engine housing, pistons, connecting rods, camshafts and fuel injection are new. The new engine is 1.7 kg lighter. The increased torque is already available at 7000 / min, 1500 / min earlier than its predecessor, which was not even criticized as weak.
The intake tract and the floor exhaust system with two exhaust openings have also been redesigned. This saves an additional 1.4 kg. Gears 1 and 2 have a longer ratio and the slipper clutch has been revised.
That wasn’t all, even the frame was completely redesigned with a new 10mm shorter die-cast aluminum frame and a new swingarm, which together are 0.8kg lighter. In the new, more compact frame, the steerer is positioned 30mm lower and the fork is shortened accordingly. The bearing of the new rocker arm is located between the side parts of the frame and no longer outside it. A die-cast aluminum part replaces the rear of the steel frame and saves 1.5 kg of weight.
KYB (formerly Kayaba) supplies the fork and shock absorber, both components are adjustable in preload, rebound and compression damping. The front brake has been updated with a radial brake master cylinder from Nissin. The forged rims, which are 700g lighter, also attract attention on a mid-range motorcycle.
The minimalist design of the MT-09 has been further developed with the obligation to dispense with unnecessary covers. The front fender and headlight bezel are the only remaining body panels. With 189 kg, the new MT-09 has become 4 kg lighter.
The assistance electronics have been updated with the integration of a six-axis gyroscope. This is derived from the 2015 R1 sensor, but due to further minimization it is only half as large and 40% lighter. This sensor enables standard cornering ABS, lean angle dependent traction control, slip control and wheelie control. There are two preset driving modes and a freely programmable driving mode. The Quickshifter Up & Down gearbox is standard. Inside there is a new 3.5-inch color TFT display. The lighting is based on all-round LEDs. The price has not yet been determined.

WASHINGTON - Donald Trump vowed Thursday to wage a hard-charging and lengthy presidential campaign, including filing his financial disclosures with the Federal Election Commission as early as next week, as unease swirled through the Republican Party about his incendiary rhetoric on immigration.
In a wide-ranging, 30-minute interview with the Washington Post, the billionaire real estate mogul and reality-television star also said he has serious concerns about other GOP candidates and refused to commit to supporting the eventual nominee in the general election.
"So many people want me to run as an independent, so many people," Trump said. "I have been asked by - you have no idea, everybody wants me to do it."
Pressed about whether he would back the Republican ticket if he fails to win the nomination, Trump left the door open for a third-party bid of his own.
"I would have to see who the nominee is," he said.
More on Trump
Donald Trump is simultaneously the most widely disliked candidate in the Republican field and, at least for now, among its front-runners, according to new polls. Almost half of voters surveyed don't just have an unfavorable view of Trump, but a "very unfavorable" one, according to a Economist/YouGov poll released Thursday. But Trump leads the GOP pack in the YouGov survey, with 15 percent calling him their preferred candidate.
Chef Geoffrey Zakarian is canceling plans for a restaurant in a new hotel being developed in Washington by Trump. The host of the Food Network's "The Kitchen" and judge on "Chopped" said Trump's recent statements on Mexican immigrants "do not in any way align" with his personal core values.
From wire reports
For now, Trump said he believes the "best chance of defeating the Democrats" is for him to "win as a Republican because I don't want to be splitting up votes."
The specter of an independent run by Trump has unnerved GOP power brokers, many of whom worry such a campaign could draw substantial support from the party's base, similar to how Ross Perot's maverick 1992 presidential campaign won an enthusiastic following among frustrated conservatives.
Trump's comments came in a call to the Post to dispute some details reported Wednesday night about a private phone call with Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee.
Priebus weighs in
Trump said the Wednesday call with Priebus lasted between 10 and 15 minutes and was "congratulatory" with regard to Trump's ascent in the polls. He said that, near the end of their discussion, Priebus asked him to speak in a more measured way about immigration.
"He started off saying, 'Wow, you really hit a nerve,' " Trump said. "He said, 'I don't think I've ever seen anything like this since I've been in politics.' "
Trump said: "It wasn't a lecturing-type call. He's going to lecture me? Give me a break."
Trump shrugged off the alarm in the GOP about his candidacy.
"They don't know me yet," Trump said of Republican elders. "When they know me, they will love me. That's what happens, and I think I'm going to win. I'm getting the biggest crowds by far. I'm going to Arizona (on Saturday). I hear the place is going wild."
One Arizona Republican who is not enthused is Sen. Jeff Flake, who Thursday called on the local Republican Party to withdraw its sponsorship of Saturday's event, which will feature Trump and Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
In an interview Thursday, Flake said Trump and Arpaio's inflammatory words about immigrants and about President Barack Obama's place of birth are not reflective of the Republican Party's values. The event at the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix is hosted by the Republican Party of Maricopa County.
"As an elected official and as a Republican, I'm not excited about this, to say the least," Flake said. "I don't think that his views are reflective of the party, particularly in Arizona, a border state."
Other Republicans disagreed. "I believe that Mr. Trump is kind of telling it like it really, truly is," former Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer told CNN on Wednesday.
She said many residents are anxious about "the drug cartels, the smugglers, the drug houses" that "come across our border."

JOPLIN, Mo. —
On Friday’s anniversary of a Supreme Court decision to uphold the federal health care reform law, Missouri U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt visited Joplin to discuss the law with those in the medical field.
“We want it to work as well as it can possibly work,” said Blunt, who said he has been “skeptical” of whether the law could be fully implemented in the country. “I think it’s a long way from perfect, but it is the law.”
Blunt said the objective of his roundtable discussion with local health care officials, held at Access Family Care in Joplin, was to assess the challenges that they’re facing with implementing the law and whether any adjustments to the law could be proposed by legislators.
He said he wanted to know how people are being affected by the law, which was upheld in a 5-4 Supreme Court decision a year ago.
Richard Schooler, executive vice president and chief operating officer for Freeman Health System, said one of the challenges he has noticed in the law is in employee recruitment. In order to broaden health care access to patients, hospitals need to expand their work force, but funding isn’t necessarily available, he said.
He said the federal law offers several grants for residency training for new physicians, but those grants will expire within a few years. He said more funding for training is needed to attract new physicians to the field.
“We’re doing everything we need to do to get more access (for patients); we’re not doing what we need to do to get more providers,” he said.
Gary Pulsipher, president of Mercy Hospital in Joplin, said it has become particularly challenging to recruit primary care physicians.
He also said Mercy is working to adjust its cost structures internally. He said he has seen “significant changes” in medical reimbursements from the federal government as a result of the law, and Mercy is trying to figure out how to maintain patient care while reducing costs in other areas.
Paula Baker, Freeman’s chief executive officer, said she appreciates efforts to expand health care access for patients seeking treatment for mental or behavioral health issues.
She said Freeman sees an average of 80 patients each week with a mental health or substance abuse diagnosis. The health system also oversees Ozark Center, which focuses primarily on mental and behavioral health care.
“If there was greater access to care for those patients, I think that would be beneficial,” she said.
Blunt said he agreed that providing access for that type of care and finding funds to support it were critical health care needs.
Meanwhile, Sen. Claire McCaskill has also offered some proposals to modify the law. She continues to support an effort to repeal a provision that requires some states to subsidize wages at hospitals through Medicare reimbursements. She said Missouri could lose $15 million this year under the loophole.
“I’ve consistently said that whether you supported or opposed the Affordable Care Act, we can work together to keep improving and strengthening it as it’s implemented,” she said earlier this year.
Affordable Care Act
The law, called the Affordable Care Act, aims to broaden health coverage for uninsured Americans. Several provisions — including one that requires individuals to have an insurance policy or else be charged a penalty — are expected to become effective next year.

The sand traps on a golf course can be one of the most difficult places to be.
Many amateur golfers struggle to hit quality shots, often ruining a round of golf and leading to a devastating score on a hole.
Amateur golfers try to avoid the sand traps at all cost, while the professional golfers actually see the shot as rather simple.
I am sure you have seen it or experienced it before. The golfer struggles to even advance the ball two feet (chunked shot) or a shot that goes 30 yards past the green (bladed shot) leading to embarrassment and frustration.
I have good news for you! It doesn’t have to be that difficult. With our 5 simple tips below and some practice on your end, you should be able to get the ball up and onto the green and give yourself a chance for par.
How To Hit Out of Sand Trap (5 Tips)
- Use the sand
- Setup slightly open
- Open the clubface
- Understand the sand
- Keep your pace
Tip #1: Use the Sand
The sand is your friend in a greenside sand trap. Use the sand to help you get the ball out of the sand trap and onto the green.
Did you know that club is never going to touch the ball on a greenside sand trap? Yes, you read that correctly. The sand is actually going to throw the ball out of the sand. You are going to use the sand by hitting behind the ball to propel the ball out of the sand trap and onto the green.
This is one of the only times in golf you actually try to miss the ball. Depending on the thickness of the sand, you are going to hit 1 to 2 inches behind the ball and through the ball to get the sand moving and propel the ball onto the green.
The best visual is if you take a dollar bill and place the ball in the center of it. You should enter the sand at the backside of the dollar bill and exit on the front side. Taking a quality divot and using the sand to your benefit.
Too many golfers fear the sand, but instead you need to get comfortable hitting down and through the sand.
When you are practicing these shots, you can draw a line 1-2 inches behind the ball and keep your eyes on that line, trying to get the club to enter the sand on the line. Of course when you are playing an actual round, you are not allowed to touch the sand with the club or draw a line in the sand until you are actually making your stroke on the ball.

Tip #2: Setup Slightly Open
When you get into the sand, go ahead and pick your target and aim your feet slightly to the left or open. This will help produce a little cut shot that will help you get down into the sand and through the sand. You will want to swing along your stance line.
As you advance in your sand play, you might not always use this stance, but as you begin this is the safest, go-to shot you can use to ensure you get the ball out of the sand trap and onto the putting surface.

Tip #3: Open the Clubface
Don’t be afraid to open that clubface and use the loft as your friend. Many high handicap golfers get scared of using loft, but the loft will help you get the ball in the air. It also allows the bounce of the club to be used properly and enables you to take an aggressive swing.
Many sand traps often sit below the putting surface with a big front edge between you and the green. The extra loft will give you enough height to ensure you don’t leave the ball in the sand trap. Remember, the number one goal here is to get the ball on the putting surface.
As far as what club you should use, I would recommend a wedge between the 56 and 60 degree range. Loft is your friend, use the loft on the wedges in this range. These clubs are also designed with the right amount of bounce to get the club through the sand and keep it from digging.

Tip #4: Understand the Sand
Unfortunately, the sand conditions are going to be different from golf course to golf course and even from hole to hole on some of the poorly maintained golf courses. . Of course rain and weather conditions can also impact the sand.
When you get into the bunker and start to set up your shot, go ahead and dig your feet into the sand slightly and get a feel for the amount of sand under the ball. The more sand there is the more fluffy the sand is, which means you might need some additional speed through the shot as your club will slow down more upon impact with the sand.
If you get into a bunker with very little sand or compact sand due to recent rain, it will be important to hit a little closer to the ball. Another option is to swing with a shorter follow throw and a more punch-like swing. This keeps the speed going and keeps you from skipping the club across the sand and contacting the ball.
Whatever you do, make sure you maintain your speed throughout the swing.
Tip #5: Keep Your Pace
The golf swing that is most devastating in the sand is the swing where the golfer slows down prior to getting to the ball. This can often be a result of hesitation and a lack of confidence. Strike the sand like you are striking a match. Be confident and keep your pace through the shot.
Over time you will experience different lies and stances in the bunker. Two of the most important basics are hitting the ground before the ball and maintaining your pace. Of course, you want to be confident on these shots as any hesitation often leads to disaster.
Next Steps: Practice
I would highly encourage finding a practice area with a bunker. Of course, you might want to aim away from others if there are people in the area, but go ahead and get used to the sand and gain confidence with hitting shots out of the sand.
Practice a 10, 20 and 30 yard bunker shot as a frame of reference for how hard you have to swing to get the ball to exit the sand and fly that distance. Also try a low, medium and high lofted shot by opening the club face and playing with the loft. These different variations will help you succeed the next time you are in the sand trap on a golf course.

Headless in Judeau – Atom Egoyan Dials Back the Kink
|Soprano Erika Sunnegårdh - George Socka|
The current "set is stripped away and we are in the antechamber of some strange sanatorium. Everything is being videotaped, there is surveillance everywhere and this supports the idea of King Herod’s paranoia.”
“Salome is looking at Jochanaan, who won't return her gaze and you have another character, a female page, who is in love with the head of the Guard and he won't return her gaze either (although he does let her perform Toronto’s first operatic fellatio interruptive on stage – he shoots himself in the head during their sex act)” said Egoyan.

text: Irrational use of drugs is still a problem in Indonesia. Therefore since 1983 the National Drug Policy (KONAS) has been develop general drug policy participating by all pharmacy players in Indonesia. To overcome the problems of irrational drug use, it is important to determine problems to develop appropriate and effective strategies. There are some indicators could be used to find out levels of rationa/irrational drug use in various health facilities, as one of them is prescribing indicator. This study aimed to determine levels of drug use at 6 (six) dispensatories in Bandung, Surabaya and Makassar cities by counting prescribing indicators. Data were selected from a research of the KONAS conducted in 2005 by center of Research and Development for Pharmacy and Traditional Medicine. Data were from 30 prescriptions in each dispensatory retrospectively from the day of survey. Results showed that the average number of drugs prescribed was 2.66%, the percentage of patients receiving injections was 8.89%, the percentage of patients receiving antibiotics was 45%, the percentage of drugs prescribed by generic name was 20.65% and the percentage of drugs prescribed in accordance to the National Essential Drugs List (DOEN) was 33.43%. In comparasion to the previous available data, it could be assumed there were better rational uses of drugs as shown in the average number of drugs prescribed and percentage of patients receiving injection. The contvary conditions were for the percentage of patients receiving antibiotics, the percentage of drugs prescribed by generic names and percentage of drugs prescribed in accordance to the National Essential Drugs List. It recommends to provide continued information on the rational drug use in accordance to, KONAS, DOEN and socialization to private sectors such as dispensatories.

Locals glad to take note of the greatest champion
NO LIVING person outside of the Royal Family has adorned a banknote in the UK — until now. In a tribute to the greatest champion golf has known, the Royal Bank of Scotland has issued a commemorative £5 note to celebrate the career of Jack Nicklaus and, to judge from the response of the locals at St Andrews, they could not have chosen better.
With the note displaying images of Nicklaus holding the Claret Jug and playing a shot on his way to victory at St Andrews in 1978, it may have been expected to cause a stir. An American on a Scottish fiver? Surely not. Nicklaus is honoured, while the town residents and visitors would do anything, it seems, to get their hands on


Building and calibrating a country-level detailed global electricity model based on public data
Ó Gallachóir, Brian P.
Deep decarbonization of the global electricity sector is required to meet ambitious climate change targets. This underlines the need for improved models to facilitate an understanding of the global challenges ahead, particularly on the concept of large-scale interconnection of power systems. Developments in recent years regarding availability of open data as well as improvements in hardware and software has stimulated the use of more advanced and detailed electricity system models. In this paper we explain the process of developing a first-of-its-kind reference global electricity system model with over 30,000 individual power plants representing 164 countries spread out over 265 nodes. We describe the steps in the model development, assess the limitations and existing data gaps and we furthermore showcase the robustness of the model by benchmarking calibrated hourly simulation results with historical emission and generation data on a country level. The model can be used to evaluate the operation of today's power systems or can be applied for scenario studies assessing a range of global decarbonization pathways. Comprehensive global power system datasets are provided as part of the model input data, with all data being openly available under the FAIR Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship allowing users to modify or recreate the model in other simulation environments. The software used for this study (PLEXOS) is freely available for academic use.

Lowe's Wins EPA'S Top Honors for Environmental Leadership
Lowe's is first retailer to receive 4 consecutive WaterSense, SmartWay awards
MOORESVILLE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded Lowe's Companies, Inc. (NYS: LOW) the highest honors for industry leadership in its WaterSense® and SmartWay® programs. Today, Lowe's received the 2012 SmartWay Excellence Award for its environmental performance in the freight transportation industry. Last week, the EPA named Lowe's the 2012 WaterSense Retailer Partner of the Year for its efforts to educate consumers about water-efficient products and practices.

Added to the 2012 ENERGY STAR® Sustained Excellence Award that Lowe's received in March, the EPA honors represent unprecedented recognition for a retailer. Lowe's is the first retailer to win a WaterSense award in four consecutive years and the only retail shipper partner to win four consecutive SmartWay Excellence Awards.
"These honors reflect the dedicated efforts of Lowe's employees across the company as we continue to reduce our environmental impact while championing energy and water efficiency," said Michael Chenard, Lowe's director of corporate sustainability. "The recognition reinforces our long-standing partnership with the EPA to promote sustainable practices and programs."
Lowe's, a WaterSense partner since 2008, continues to expand efforts in stores, online and throughout local communities to increase awareness of the WaterSense brand and help consumers improve the overall efficiency of their homes. The EPA honored Lowe's and four other partners of the year Thursday in Las Vegas. Lowe's received recognition for employee training and national efforts that included supporting the Wasting Water Is Weird campaign to promote water conservation.
The EPA estimates that the number of WaterSense-labeled toilets and bathroom faucets Lowe's sold in 2011 can save customers nearly $34 million each year on water bills and about four billion gallons of water annually - equivalent to two hours' worth of flow over Niagara Falls.
Lowe's conservation strategies and continued contributions to the transportation industry also were honored in Las Vegas. To earn the 2012 SmartWay Excellence Award, Lowe's implemented initiatives that resulted in reduced emissions and less overall highway congestion. Nearly 3,000 partners participate in the SmartWay Transport Partnership. Lowe's is one of only two companies, and the only retailer, ever to receive four consecutive awards.
"I commend Lowe's for its leadership in moving goods efficiently and reducing the environmental impact of freight through the second generation SmartWay Transport Partnership," said Chris Grundler, acting director of EPA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality. "Their commitment is helping lead the freight industry to a more sustainable future."
Since becoming a SmartWay partner in 2005, Lowe's has collaborated with carriers to reduce emissions and adopt innovative technology while increasing its use of more fuel-efficient modes of transport, such as rail. The EPA program has helped Lowe's carriers reduce highway travel by 560 million miles and resulted in diesel fuel savings of more than 100 million gallons and carbon savings of 1.2 million tons.
In addition to influencing hundreds of its own carriers, Lowe's is a member of the Coalition for Responsible Transportation and worked with EPA SmartWay to develop the Clean Trucks Initiative to reduce emissions of port drayage trucks across the country. Last year, the EPA named Lowe's transportation team SmartWay Champions for its work to reduce truck emissions and protect air quality around ports.

With fiscal year 2011 sales of $50.2 billion, Lowe's Companies, Inc. is a FORTUNE® 100 company that serves approximately 15 million customers a week at more than 1,745 home improvement stores in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

GW Baseball Rallies for 7-5 Win in Season Finale
Colonials Erase 5-2 Deficit to Earn Series Win
May 17, 2014
ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. - The George Washington baseball team faced a three-run deficit but rallied by scoring five runs over the final three innings to earn a 7-5 victory over St. Bonaventure on Saturday afternoon to clinch a series victory in the regular-season finale at Fred Handler Park.
GW (20-30, 12-15 A-10) scored its seven runs on 14 hits and had five players record multiple hits at the plate. Junior Ryan Xepoleas (3-for-4, two runs, one RBI) and senior Colin Milon (3-for-5, one run, one RBI) led the way with three hits apiece. Milon was making his first career start at designated hitter.
Sophomore Matthieu Robert's RBI single gave the Colonials a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning before St. Bonaventure (12-30, 6-17 A-10) responded with a trio of runs in the bottom half and a single run in the fourth to take a 4-1 advantage.
GW cut the deficit to two with a run in the top of the sixth inning when freshman Andrew Selby led off with a single, stole second and advanced to third on a groundout before scoring on an RBI bunt single by Xepoleas.
The Bonnies push the lead back to three with a run in the bottom of the sixth, but GW responded in the top of the seventh, using a sacrifice fly from Selby to make the score 5-3.
Trailing by two entering the eighth inning, the Colonials scored four runs over the final two frames to rally for the 7-5 victory.
In the eighth, senior Owen Beightol and Xepoleas led off with consecutive base hits and advanced to second and third on a passed ball. Freshman Kevin Mahala drove in Beightol on an RBI groundout and Robert followed with another RBI single to tie the game at 5-5 entering the ninth.
Beightol hit a one-out single in the ninth to start the game-winning sequence. Xepoleas followed with a walk, and a fielder's choice put runners on the corners with two outs.
Milon followed with an RBI single to put GW ahead 6-5, and another passed ball later in the inning allowed an insurance run to cross the plate and gave the Colonials a 7-5 lead.
Freshman Eddie Muhl, who had entered the game in relief in the bottom of the sixth, worked a scoreless ninth inning for his third career victory. Muhl allowed just two hits over 3.1 innings of work and registered three strikeouts.
Beightol concludes his career with top-five rankings in games played and at-bats and among the top ten in career rankings in hits.

Interest rates may be low, regulators may be tough, sales of many of life, health and annuity products are flat — but life, health and annuity issuers say they’re hungry for workers, and much hungrier than issuers of property and casualty insurance.
Life, health and annuity issuers expect to increase employment about 2.3% in the coming 12 months, according to the Jacobson Group and Aon PLC’s Ward unit.
The Jacobson Group is a Chicago-based recruiter, and Ward is a benchmarking survey firm.
A year ago, life, health and annuity issuers told the companies that they were expecting to increase staffing 1.3% in the coming 12 months.
The issuers turned out to be more likely to increase staffing than they had predicted: About 61% had predicted that they’d expand staffing. In reality, 69% expanded their staff.
Life, health and annuity issuer hiring appears to be stronger than P&C issuer hiring.
P&C issuers are predicting they’ll increasing staffing 1.2% over the coming 12 months. A year ago, P&C issuers were predicting they’d expand staffing 0.5%.
About 63% of the issuers were predicting a year ago that they’d add staff; 67% ended up increasing their staff size.

Why disturb those lying in an eternal sleep with two dates reading their arrival and departure? It’s a human instinct, a little too basic man’s nature with saint or satan-like mental wavelength. Though the 1992 Hollywood flick made by Paul Verhoeven featuring husky and handsome Michael Douglas and horny Sharon Stone caught many in awe, this novel authored and well-essayed by Vijay Nair is in no way less than a racy thriller of that sort. The story keeps revolving around Neha and her mother’s gruesome death. Neha is enraged with her, convinced it was her mother’s own scheming ways that brought her end. But then a distress call from her childhood friend Samir brings Neha back to the hills of Coonoor, a scenic journey.
Samir is implicated in a murder case of his married lover, Sujala. A distressed Samir refused to speak to anyone except Neha, who liked to help him. She could not shut her mind to the fact that the circumstances in which the victim was found bear an uncanny resemblance to the manner in which her mother had been murdered. Nor can she deny the fact that she, too, was irresistibly drawn to the seductive charms of the luminously beautiful Sujala.
The book Let Her Rest Now is a real page-turner with lots of raunchy stuff and thrills and spills. Love and lust for any desired object walk hand in hand with man all through his life and he on a whim commits all sins and crimes to pander to his whimsical needs. It’s about a female character getting torn rather sandwiched between the need to find her mother’s murderer, and the suspicion that the best friend could probably have been responsible for this murder. This is exactly what Neha, the protagonist in the novel, grapples with.
It’s been pretty long for Neha to have spent a considerable time contemplating her mother’s brutal murder, and at the same time she finds it hard to get through with this haunting situation but at the same time Neha is still trying to come to terms with it and is miffed with her mother, convinced that she was responsible for her death, as her own ways led her to the last.
The story takes a twist in mid-air flight, as Neha is combating her suspicion and loyalty towards her friend, she comes across the mysterious Sujala, Samir’s lover, and now Neha’s object of desire. Sujala and her husband Kabir, the newest inmates of Coonoor, are not popular and are held responsible by the town for ruining the young artist Samir’s life. But to complicate matters, Neha falls for Sujala. How Neha works her way through all these twists and turns and whether she can find her mother’s killer forms the crux of the plot.
The read takes one to the prowess of myriads sexual encounters and orientations, a psychopathic step-father and nosy neighbours, Vijay Nair has the perfect knack to pen the thriller in a small hamlet. Every single page leaves one with a trace of curiosity as to what next sort of things. The yarn is woven with love, passion, suspicion, loyalty and sort of revenge. The novel races through racy stunts. Through its many bizarre and upsetting turns with the plot glaring at our disgusting life, the irony springs up to the surface when we start liking what we once terribly hated. Nair’s writing style is lucid and coherent that makes the reader feel comfortable with easy-to-understand English. However, I spotted on a number of occasions that the plot is a little loosely strung together otherwise a nice narration at a slow pace. Things were closely though a bit of Agatha Christie-type mystery juxtaposed with a couple of sizzling scenes, three murders and torrid clandestine love affairs remain afloat that really keeps one glued to the last page.
