Here’s an Internet bizarrity that you can believe in: the pink fairy armadillo.
It’s a real animal, the smallest armadillo species in the world. At about 100 grams, it would fit in your hands. It’s covered with “very fine, silky white hair,” says Mariella Superina of the CONICET research center in Mendoza, Argentina. And its hard outer covering, rich in blood vessels, can blush pink.
Full details of Chlamyphorus truncatus biology, though, might as well be a fairy tale. It’s known only from a dry, sandy swath of Argentina and spends most of its time underground. The pink fairy is so hard to spot that Superina and her colleagues are struggling to determine whether it’s endangered or not. She heads an international group of specialists now trying to assess the risk of extinction for the world’s 21 known armadillo species, plus their close relatives, the sloths and anteaters.
In 10 years of field work, she has never caught sight of the pink species in the wild. She has seen tracks made by digging claws and the diamond-shaped tip of its tail. After several meters, the tracks just stop where, she presumes, the armadillo disappeared underground. Locals, she says, “can track down any animal — except the pink fairy armadillo.” Occasionally someone captures one and soon panics about keeping it alive. These rare captives, she reports, usually live no more than about eight days.
Superina struggled to care for one such stray that couldn’t be returned to the wild. In 2011, she published a Zoo Biology paper largely about what it wouldn’t eat. In desperation, she discovered that it would slurp up a goop (consisting of milk, cat food and exactly half a banana) that had been mixed for a different species. The next stray fairy, though, wouldn’t touch the stuff. (Don’t even think of getting one as a pet, she says.)
During the eight months the goop-tolerant fairy lived in Superina’s home terrarium, infrared cameras recorded it moving below the sand surface. Biologists had thought the species “swims” through sand. No, Superina now says. “It was very funny — it digs and then it backs up and compacts the sand with its butt plate.” The video shows a pale, furry body digging and butting, digging and butting. The flattened round rear plate used in compaction is unique to fairy armadillos.
This rare glimpse may have solved a paleontological mystery, too: Previously found rows of compacted earth discs that look like slumping sliced bread may actually be the work of ancient fairy armadillos’ butt plates.

Florida’s Judicial Ethics Advisory Committee issued an opinion concerning Florida judges presiding over hurricane-related civil insurance cases who have also submitted a hurricane-related insurance claim. Under what circumstances must judges disclose and/or recuse themselves from hurricane-related cases when they have filed an insurance claim with an insurance company that also has cases coming before them?
The JEAC opinion addresses only the ethical implications of Disclosure/Recusal/Disqualification and advised that the “inquiring judge(s) should 1) disclose that they have a filed a pending hurricane-related insurance claim to all parties or their attorneys with hurricane-related insurance claims in their division; and 2) recuse themselves from any cases involving the insurance company with whom the judge has filed their claim.” Further, if a judge’s own hurricane-related insurance claim settles, the judge “must disclose the existence of the insurance claim and its settlement for a reasonable period of time after its occurrence…”. Finally, “if the claim proceeds to litigation, and the judge is represented by an attorney, and that attorney comes before the judge on either a contested or uncontested matter, the judge must automatically recuse himself or herself for a reasonable period of time after the representation ends.” There are opinions suggesting a reasonable period of time ranges from several months to one-year. See Fla. JEAC Ops. 12-09, 11-17; 20-23, 01-17 and 12-37.
As for the legal requirements for recusals, “[i]f a motion for recusal is made and it is legally sufficient, then the judge should grant the motion and recuse.”

What is Estrogen Dominance and how are You Unknowingly Causing it?
Estrogen Dominance is a condition where the level of estrogen in your body is much higher than normal, especially in relation to your other hormonal levels. Though it’s not commonly acknowledged within the medical world just yet, it’s important to not only understand what it is, but how it can be caused and what you can do about it.
Much like when menopause and associated symptoms are caused due to a drop in estrogen, when it’s believed that there is too much of the hormone in one’s system, some practitioners will recognize that as Estrogen Dominance. When estrogen levels are too high, some of the more common symptoms include anxiety, breast tenderness, migraines, and digestive issues.
One thing we may not realize is how much our daily habits can impact our health, both positively and negatively. When it comes to Estrogen Dominance, there are a few things that can cause or aid in causing the hormonal imbalance:
- Excess body fat – Fat cells store an enzyme that causes the conversion of testosterone into estrogen. The more fat cells you have, the more estrogen gets created. This produces a dangerous cycle, as higher estrogen also cues your body to produce more fat cells.
- Alcohol – Your liver’s job is to filter various toxins from your body, such as alcohol and estrogen. The more you drink, the more focused your liver becomes on removing the excess alcohol from your blood stream and estrogen is then left to build up into your system.
- Birth control pills – Birth control pills are filled with synthetic estrogen, which can through your hormones completely off balance if you receive an improper dosage compared to what your body needs. Some birth control pills also reduce the body’s ability to produce progesterone, which is necessary to keep estrogen levels regularly balanced.
If you’re experiencing any hormonal imbalances due to aging or menopause, contact Global Life Rejuvenation today at (866) 793-9933 to learn how HRT for women can benefit you.

European Union President Donald Tusk traveled to Balkan capitals on March 2 to discuss recent restrictions they imposed on migrants at their borders.
He is visiting the Croatian capital of Zagreb and the Macedonian capital of Skopje, where leaders recently announced they are considering even more drastic measures to shut down the so-called Balkan route traveled by migrants to get from the Middle East to northern Europe.
His trip comes as the United Nations refugee agency warned that the EU is on the "cusp of a self-induced" humanitarian crisis if governments fail to work together.
The border restrictions imposed by Macedonia and other Balkan countries as well as Austria have contravened advice and policies advanced by the EU.
They have also had the effect of creating a "domino-like" buildup of tens of thousands of refugees left stranded in Greece.
After visiting the Balkans, Tusk on March 3 and 4 will travel to Turkey, where most of the refugees from Iraq and Syria pass through on their way to Europe.

Internal Control Systems and Organizational Performance
MetadataShow full item record
The study was set to examine the impact of internal controls on organizational performance using a case study of Uganda Telecom Limited (UTL). The main problem of the study was that although internal controls were put in place to mitigate the occurrence of fraud, embezzlement, theft, misrepresentation, concealment and manipulation of data, UTL still experience such and this is what the study aimed at putting right. The study was aimed at achieving three specific objectives that is, to examine the influence of control environment on organizational performance, to examine the influence of risk assessment on organizational performance and to find out the influence of information and communication on organizational performance. A cross sectional study design was used to carry out the study and questionnaires and interview were employed to collect data from the sample of 104 respondents. Collected data was analyzed using correlation co efficiency and regression analysis for quantitative data and thematic anaylsis for qualitative data. The findings of the study indicated that internal controls together with its attributes of control environment, risk assessment and information and communication have a direct bearing on the performance of Uganda Telecom Limited. The study indicated that control environment account for 4% variation in organizational performance, risk assessment account for 3.5% variance in organizational performance and Information and communication account for 3% variance in organizational performance. The study recommends that there is a need to evaluate the control environment in which the business operates, risk assessment strategies and communication and information low within the organization since such components play a great part towards the performance of the organization. It can therefore be concluded that internal control systems affect greatly the performance of an organization.

I like dabbling with different photo editors. Yes, I’m an Adobe Creative Cloud subscriber and authorized affiliate, but I’m also a fan of knowing what’s available. I recently received news from the folks at Foxit, but it wasn’t about PDF files. It was about its photo editing software, Foxit Studio Photo. So I downloaded the free trial and took a dive into this photo editing option.
What is Foxit studio photo?
Foxit was quite frank in recognizing the power, capability, and popularity of Photoshop. This meant that Foxit kept Photoshop in the back of its collective mind as it developed Studio Photo. It wanted to provide a better experience.
Here’s where I stand with Photoshop: I use the app pretty regularly each day for projects and hobbies, yet the app still scares me with all of its nested menus and options. Yes, knowing keyboard shortcuts are helpful, but that only scratches the surface far as everything that Photoshop can do. Apparently, Foxit feels the same way about Photoshop. It’s a bit much.
SEE: Research: The evolution of enterprise software UX (Tech Pro Research)
As Studio Photo was developed, Foxit wanted to create an experience that offered all of the core functionality of a photo editor but also captures the most powerful tools of Photoshop. In short, eliminate all of the extra tools and options that an average photo editor wouldn’t use, but give them a little more power than only editing exposure and contrast. I can say without a doubt that Studio Photo does this that.
Fire up Foxit, and you’re immediately met with an interface that’s very similar to Photoshop. The menu layout, the panels, the color scheme–very similar. But it is definitely stripped down. I wasn’t intimidated when I opened the app. Like most computer applications, you have keyboard shortcuts to make using the app more efficient. When I reviewed Photopea, I enjoyed that most of the keyboard shortcuts were spot on with Photoshop. The shortcuts in Studio Photo has been pretty close to that experience, as well.
Performance of Studio Photo has been fairly stable. I’ve processed random jpg files, smartphone raw (.dng) files, larger jpg files from DSLRs, and also raw files from DSLRs. (.cr and .arw). The smaller and larger jpg files are handled with ease. Smartphone raw files were ok, too. Sometimes processing raw images from the DSLRs was a bit challenging. It didn’t put me off, but it was definitely noticeable.
You can even open Photoshop files (PSD) for processing. The pen tool, like in Photoshop, takes some getting used to. I used my Wacom tablet with it and the brushes lagged a little even though you have the ability to adjust brush settings such as size jitter and scattering. The pressure sensitivity was apparent, but again, a little laggy.
If you do not want to get into granular editing, you can utilize the quick edit options where Studio Pro will automatically process fundamental editing properties.
I can see this service as a nice alternative to individuals not wanting to jump into the subscription world of Photoshop. You can get a free trial of Studio Photo for 14 days upon registering with your email address. Fortunately, the free trial doesn’t lack any of the tools or capabilities of the paid version. So you won’t wonder what you’re missing out on from a features standpoint. After the trial period, you can purchase Studio Pro for a flat fee of $59.99.
Have you tried Studio Photo for your photo editing projects? What photo editing tools are you using to make your images pop? Let me know in the comments below or feel free to tag me on Twitter and Instagram with your favorite shots you’ve processed.

He will be joined by past students and alumni, as well as architect and professor Perry Kulper, who contributed the foreword to Animating Guarini. The roundtable will be held via Zoom. Mark and Perry will be joined by Cordell Sheppard, Lily Bakhshi Sheppard, Conner MacPhee and Anali Gharakhani.
Saturday, January 16th at 1pm PST
Register through Zoom
The book looks into the evolution of orthographic projection as Ericson explores its history to reacquire the generative techniques of drawing that do not deal with visualization. Animating Guarini reimagines orthographic projection as a drawing technique that precedes convention.
Ericson’s research has been featured on Drawing Matter, a website and private collection showcasing contemporary architectural drawings and work assembled in England over the past twenty-five years. Mark’s project, Onto an Epicycle of Cones, is part of a series that interrogates the orthographic drawing techniques of Guarino Guarini. The drawing translates his written and drawn instructions in the programming language of Python in the open-source platform of Processing.py.
Mark’s drawings have been published in LOG, 306090, and the catalog for the Museum of Modern Art exhibition Uneven Growth. His research focuses on studying and reimagining historical practices of drawing. Mark worked with Perry Kulper, who contributed the foreword to Animating Guarini. Kulper is an architect and Associate Professor at the University of Michigan. After working with Eisenman/ Robertson, Robert A.M. Stern and Venturi, Rauch and Scott Brown he taught at SCI-Arc for 17 years.


I'm trying to control a robotic hand with stepper motors using arduino
with octave because I'm doing the angles calculations to get predefined
The problem is the slow velocity I get in the steppers (using Octave and
arduino toguether) because to get one complete turn (200 steps ) it last
almost 11 seconds whereas only with arduino (without Octave) it goes really
fast but I prefer use Octave to be able to do the trajectory calculations.
I'm using ubuntu 18.04 , arduino package 0.3.0 and Octave 4.2.2 in a
Desktop Intel® Core™2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz × 2 and 4GB RAM
I've used also windows 10, arduino package 0.4.0 and Octave 5.1.0 in a
laptop 4GB RAM intel core i3 2GHz with more or less the same result.
The steppers are connected using the RAMPS 1.4 Board and the pololu driver
A4988. The stepper motors are Longruner 17HS16-2004S
This is an extract of my test program.
Thanks in advance
alfaStep = "d46"; # Firs Arm step pin
alfaDir = "d48"; # Firs Arm step direction
alfaEnable = "a8";

I wonder if running something like grbl on the Arduino to control
the motion, and use Octave to calculate and write the G-code to
the Arduino might be useful. Send the motion controls as blocks
of data rather than try to send individual movement commands.
Using a non "real time" OS to control motion is not going to result
in smooth operation. Adding something like Octave on top of that
would exacerbate that problem even more I would expect.

You put far too much trust into pause()'s ability to execute short
delays. 10 microsecond pause is just not practical in the interpreted
environment: on my 3GHz Linux box I see a factor of 67 discrepancy:
Elapsed time is 0.000674963 seconds.
Since that delayed delay happens in your step loop i'ts going to slow
things down significantly.

Use the tic/toc technique to time writeDigitalPin()--you will probably
find that it's slower than you think.
It is well known than stepping pulse train in software is not a good
idea---you need speed AND regularity in the timing sequence, or else the
motor will run slowly and unreliably.
As the others have said, redesign your system so that Octave calculates
the high-level parameters like the total number of steps, and send it to
a hardware step generator or at least a real-timish software step
Thanks again Przemek , I didn't know the tic/toc technique.
I see I have to redesign the system and try to use grbl or LinuxCNC , I'm
newbie in this and I need to collect more information.
Thanks for your help and quick response.

All are waiting for the announcement of Apple new Operating System version iOS 14. It is set to be released by the company at WWDC later this year. After all, the latest report came out from Apple’s news website The Verifier. The report is that all existing Apple devices working in iOS 13 can replace it with the latest iOS 14.
Above mentioned Apple devices include iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices that run in iOS 13. Earlier this year, universal compatibility was also reported. After all, if the reports are official, there may not see any major devices from Apple with the latest iOS 14 this year. However, the reports are not at all official and The Verifier has a mixed record in rumors based on Apple.
This Will Be The Last Update For iPhone 6 And SE
It is expected that Apple will continue to support iPhone 6s and 6s Plus for another year. Besides, iPhone SE is also said to be the one along with iPhone 6 models that will see its last updates with iOS 14. The iPhone 6 models were launched in 2015. This year WWDC is set to start on June 22.
New features and capabilities of the upcoming iOS 14 are yet to be seen. Some home screen improvements along with a new AR experience and app snippet features were rumored earlier. Moreover, we are also expecting new operating systems for Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Watch too.

text: Parents will face an endless number of challenges in their days of caring for their children. One of the most dreadful, however, is the constant battle surrounding brushing their teeth. It has been reported that nearly half of all American children have developed some form of tooth decay between the ages of two and eleven. While it’s hard to place all of that blame on parents, the truth is, building healthy habits from the start can help alleviate this problem. The sooner these good habits are formed, the more likely these children are to have stronger, more healthy teeth throughout their adult lives. The infographic included alongside this post provides information that will help parents establish these habits in their children, so be sure to check it out!

SIDON, Lebanon: A new solid waste management plant in the southern city of Sidon will be fully functioning in less than two months, allowing the municipality to purge the heaps of waste that remain in the city’s notorious landfill. The plant is expected to be operating in full capacity by the end of March, with the ability to dispose of organic material extracted from waste, said Nabil Zantout, the general manager of the plant’s operating firm IBC.
The new plant was conceived by the city municipality in cooperation with relevant ministries and was funded partially by donations from the Lebanese government and Saudi Arabia.
If plans follow accordingly, Sidon will be the first city in Lebanon to do away with a landfill – one that has raised environmental and public health concerns in the past – in a sustainable manner.
According to Zantout, the plant will function under the supervision of Passavant-Roediger, the German firm that designed it. As this firm also chose the modern waste disposal technologies operating in the plant, they plan to oversee the recycling and waste treatment process with technicians as well.
“The plant is in the pre-final stages prior to full capacity operation. It has several sections that were routinely tested to make sure everything is working properly,” Zantout added.
When the plant began testing its first section on Nov. 19, it received 38 tons of waste that day alone. As the plant increased its service hours to 24 hours a day, every day of the week, in mid-December, the quantity increased to 60-70 tons of waste per day.
At that point, Zantout said, they asked the union of municipalities in Sidon and Zahrani to send their collective garbage to the plant, increasing their input to 170 tons daily.
“We aim at receiving 350 tons by the end of March,” he said.
Currently the plant is managing 175 tons of waste daily, but the municipality is discussing the possibility of expanding waste services to other cities like Jezzine and the coastal municipalities to increase waste input to 350 tons to avoid financial losses.
The plant plans to charge $85 for every ton of waste received from municipalities during the first two years of operation. After this point the price will rise to $95 per ton. These estimates were produced after initial studies were conducted, Zantout said.
Running a solid waste plant is not without its challenges, as Zantout expressed surprise when he learned that the elements found within the refuse received by the plant was different from those expected from an initial study conducted by Germans experts.
“When the German experts first came here and took a sample of the waste to analyze, they found out that 60 percent of the waste was made of organic material,” he explained.
The sorting process in the plant was designed according to these original findings, but Zantout discovered that the percentage of organic material being received was much higher, around 75-80 percent. Questions therefore arose over how to effectively manage the unexpected amount of organic material.
Zantout found that plastic, iron and cardboard materials were being extracted from the waste prior to it reaching the plant, leaving mainly organic material and plastic bags.
“Recyclable materials constitute 6 percent of the waste, whereas the initial study predicted 30 percent, and this affects the operation,” Zantout said, adding that plastic bags influence the plant’s sorting process as well.
In light of this, Zantout says his firm is looking into building a recycling plant in the future because there are no factories in Lebanon with the capacity to receive and manage the amount of recyclable material their plant produces.
Zantout said he planned to travel to Germany soon to find a solution to these unexpected challenges and find effective ways of managing them.
The plant expects to reach energy efficiency by March. “We will produce about 1000 kilowatts of energy more than the plant needs [to operate] and we can then sell the surplus to other firms and facilities around us in coordination with the municipality,” Zantout said.
The plant will also operate without harming the the health of its personnel as it has installed filters which purify the air inside the building, relieving workers from the harmful smell that accompanies waste processing.
Zantout dismissed fears of air and sea pollution, stressing that waste “will not spread to the land or the sea because there will be no smoke as there will be no incineration of waste.”
As the modern waste management technologies are imports from Germany, Zantout says he will continue to look to the country as a model to which to aspire:
“The waste sorting process in Germany begins in the household and that’s we hope to achieve in the future.”

Early effects of acute gamma-radiation on vascular arterial tone
Bourlier V, Diserbo M, Joyeux M, Ribuot C, Multon E, Gourmelon P, Verdetti J.
Br J Pharmacol 1998 Mar;123(6):1168-72
To determine the acute effects of irradiation on the functionality of vessel, rat aortic rings were mounted in an organ bath for isometric tension measurements and irradiated (60Co, 1 Gy min(-1), 15 min). Irradiation, which is without effect on non-contracted or endothelium-denuded vessels, led to an immediate and reversible increase in vascular tone on (-)-phenylephrine (1 microM)-precontracted aortic rings. The tension reached a plateau about 5 min after the beginning of irradiation. The maximal radiation-induced contraction occurred on aortic rings relaxed by acetylcholine (ACh) (1 microM). In this condition, the addition of catalase (1000 u ml(-1)), which reduces hydrogen peroxide, and DMSO (0.1% v/v), which scavenges hydroxyl radical, had no influence on tension level while superoxide dismutase (SOD) (100 u ml(-1)), a superoxide anion scavenger, reduced the observed contraction. A similar result was obtained in the presence of indomethacin (10 microM), a cyclo-oxygenase blocker. Pretreatment of rings with the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) (10-100 microM) inhibited the radiation-induced contraction. This effect was dose rate-dependent and even occurred for a very low dose rate (0.06 Gy min(-1)). The present results indicate that gamma-radiation induces an instantaneous vascular tone increase that is endothelium and dose rate-dependent. This effect is (i) maximal when nitric oxide (NO) is produced, (ii) greatly reduced by SOD and (iii) inhibited by L-NAME, suggesting a major involvement of complexes between NO and superoxide anion.

This Very Berry Sweet Tea infused with a strawberry, raspberry, blueberry and blackberry puree is the perfect compliment to your end of summer festivities!!
Growing up, we always had a pitcher of sweet tea in the fridge at any given moment and it was certainly a must with Sunday Dinner. It was the most refreshing drink EVER and it always made me think of home.
We didn’t really have a porch at my childhood house. It was more of a portico and I remember saying as a young girl…when I grow up, I’m gonna buy a house and drink sweet tea on the porch. Lol!!
HOW TO MAKE SWEET TEA
Not sure where the idea came from but the other day I finally enjoyed sweet tea on our porch with Jackson. 🙂 It was so nostalgic.
I try to have sweet tea available at every Sunday dinner but this week I wanted to make something different so I added a strawberry, raspberry, blueberry and blackberry puree and it was nothing short of DELISH. The whole fam loved this tea and thought it was great!!!
I love experimenting with different fruity flavors in my beverages like this mango lemonade and blackberry lemonade. This Very Berry Sweet Tea is a perfect compliment to your upcoming Labor Day cookouts. If you’re still looking for some menu ideas, here’s a great start! Say Grace and enjoy!!!
Very Berry Sweet Tea
- 1/2 c strawberries
- 1/2 c blueberries
- 1/2 c blackberries
- 1/2 c raspberries
- 2 extra large tea bags I use Luzianne
- 1 c sugar
- 8 c water divided
- Puree all fruit with either a blender, immersion blender or food processer. You should be left with about a cup of puree. Press puree through a sieve to remove most of the seeds. Pour into pitcher.
- Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a large saucepan and remove from heat.
- Place 2 extra large tea bags into water and steep for just a few minutes. Remove tea bags. Add sugar and stir until completely dissolved. Allow to cool.
- Pour cooled tea over puree and stir well. Add remaining 4 cups of cold water and stir. Serve over ice. Say Grace and enjoy!!!

While the Toronto Maple Leafs weren’t exactly the best team in the NHL (5-5-1 then) when Dion Phaneuf went on the shelf with a deep laceration on his left leg on November 2nd, they’ve clearly missed their big defenseman/captain. Without Phaneuf, the team went 5-8-3 and earned yet another round of firing talk for their coach Ron Wilson.
Now, it’s not accurate to assume that Phaneuf (0 goals, four assists for four points in 11 games with a -6 rating) would have made much of a difference during that streak, but the Leafs will almost certainly be glad to have him back beginning tonight against the Philadelphia Flyers.
TSN reports that the big defenseman will be back along with beleaguered goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere, though it’s unclear if Giguere will start or if Jonas Gustavsson will play in back-to-back games at this point. It’s going to be tough for the middling Maple Leafs to avoid two straight losses to the cream of the crop in the East, but getting Giguere and Phaneuf back should at least improve their chances.

To the editor:
For the past couple of months I have been seeing a sign in front of a local pub: “Thursday night‚$2.00 burger.” So I asked my buddies, Steven and Merv if they would join me for a $2 burger.
They laughed. “What do you get for $2, a miniburger? Maybe just the meat and the bread?”
So we went last Thursday. The pub was crowded, so while we were sitting, Merv said he did not see the $2 burger on the menu and I should go up and ask. I asked a waitress, “Do you still have the $2 burger?” She said yes and I returned to my seat and told the guys it was OK to order it.
So Steven and I ordered the burger but Marv, cautious guy that he is, order melted cheese. He was not taking chances.
The waitress came to take our order. “What do you want on your burger,” she asked. I said lettuce, tomato, onion, but then Merv interrupted and said “Give him the works.” Steven said the same except no cheese and no bacon. Steven was so taken by the extras on the burger that he said maybe he should order two. I said wait until you see it first. It might be too much.
The burgers came and they were pretty big, about three inches thick with all the extras. Mine came with thick meat, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, bacon and cheese, really too big to fit into the mouth. Steven went and got cutlery so we could carve up his burger.
That and a glass of beer would come to $5.50 plus tax, or about $6 total. After some wait, we finally got the bill. Mine was $8.96.
How could that be?
So I looked closely at the bill. We were charged 25 cents for the lettuce, 25 cents for the pickle, same for the onion and the tomato and 75 cents for the bacon and another 75 cents for the slice of cheese that was not even melted.
Steven and I burst out laughing. No question, we had been had. We never thought to ask how much for the condiments. Usually they come with the burger. But was it worth it? Sure, especially that I have a good story to tell.
Steven said we were lucky they did not charge for the bun and ketchup.
Later when relating this story to my buddy, Ed, he became incensed that the pub could advertise a burger for $2 and then charge you for the condiments. It failed the truth in advertising test. He said he would have gone up to the manager and argued for cancelling the cost of condiments.
Doug, another buddy, replied on the email that we got a classic burger for $5.50 which is still a bargain so we should not feel that we were taken. Acutally, he is right in one sense. But my buddy Ed had a point. If you are going to sell a burger, it should include the condiments because that is what people expect. Ed said that you can lose customers when you pull a stunt like that. But to be honest, the pub was filled to overflowing so I don’t think the phony $2 burger hurt their business at all.

Analyst unsure over 360 motion tech
Speaking to this site, games industry sooth-sayer Scott Steinberg has said that he is unsure as to whether the Xbox 360's motion-sensing technology (expected to be unveiled at a press conference later this morning) can help the console break into the mass market dominated by the Nintendo Wii.
Steinberg says that introducing the headline-grabbing technology might not be sufficient, with innovative software required to make the most of this Nintendo-battling opportunity.
"At this point, it's sure to be perceived as a secondary add-on to the console itself, and therefore a footnote to its established feature set, unlike the Wii, where it's been a well-publicized, core system selling point for some time," Steinberg explained.
"However, the company might be able to achieve a more pronounced success here if it introduces software that makes new and innovative use of the control method, allowing players to experience games in a more intuitive or organic manner. Which is to say that it's not enough simply to ape what Nintendo's doing. To making meaningful inroads here, Microsoft will have to raise the bar in some way, or attack the problem from a fresh angle, else the manufacturer runs the risk of solving a problem which there was little demand for addressing to begin with."

Wednesday, September 29th 2021, 11:07 am - Earthworms are being spotted in places they've never been seen before and are inching closer and closer to new ground. This has caught the attention of climate scientists who say the invasive invertebrates are slowly depleting terrestrial carbon stocks in the boreal forest.
Everybody knows earthworms are good for breaking down matter in soil. We use them in farming and agriculture and we even use them in our very own gardens.
But today’s earthworms are not native to North America — they are invasive and are slowly remaking our forests, which has caught the attention of climate scientists.
“The vast majority of earthworms that we have now in North America seem to have come over from Europe, and more recently from Asia,” said Michael McTavish, a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Toronto who is researching biological invasions. “This is an active invasion, where they're still spreading into previously earthworm-free soils.”
How can such a small organism have such a big impact? It’s the fact that earthworms have more recently been found in the boreal forest.
A study conducted by scientists at the University of Alberta and Natural Resources Canada compared earthworm-invaded and earthworm-free zones in soil types that are representative of the boreal forest. The study says that the boreal forest is the largest terrestrial reservoir of carbon on the planet, and any changes to this reservoir can have enormous implications on climate.

Many parts of the boreal forest are too cold during the winters for earthworms to survive, but this will change as temperatures warm and more earthworms migrate into parts of Alaska, British Columbia, Alberta, and Eastern Canada.
Earthworms are contributing to climate change by physically changing their environments. In boreal forests old leaves and other fallen plant matter builds up on top of the soil and decays very slowly and is where most of the carbon in boreal forests is stored.
When earthworms move into these environments they consume this leaf litter very quickly, which changes many aspects of the soil, including the pH and nutrients in it. The soil can change so much that it can no longer support the growth of native planets, resulting in leaf litter storing significantly less carbon.
“We can see the soil of the boreal forest as a buffer for carbon sequestration. So if we lose that buffer, that means that some of the organic matter that was supposed to be stabilized in the system for a pretty long time is not going to be there. So it's going to be released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide,” said lead author Justine Lejoly, a PHD student of soil science at the University of Alberta.

How did worms get to remote locations? The answer is with the movement of humans. McTavish says earthworms can be found primarily where people live.
“When we're talking about more remote areas, one of the major sources of earthworm spread is actually the disposal of fishing bait. So worms are popular with anglers, you take some worms out, you maybe don't use all of them, you dump the spares in the woods, and that's a potential new population,” he said.
But it isn’t just the improper disposal of fishing bait that can spawn a new cluster of worms in an area. It could be as simple as transporting soil that can carry earthworms at any stage of life.
“They are hermaphroditic, for the most part,” McTavish added. “Some are actually able to reproduce without other earthworms which makes it even easier for them to produce populations from a small number of individuals.”
The study concludes that more research is needed to document the ongoing earthworm invasion and to better predict how carbon stores in the boreal forest will be affected, particularly in the context of other concurrent stressors such as increasingly frequent and severe wildfires and vegetation changes.

PETALING JAYA: Two prominent activists have condemned Putrajaya after a Turkish national and his family were handed over to Ankara, despite the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) classifying him a “person of concern” who could be harmed if he was forcibly returned to his home country.
Prominent Muslim spokesman Dr Ahmad Farouk Musa and former ambassador Dennis Ignatius said the latest action of deporting Arif Komis, his wife and their young children was shameful and proof that the present ruling coalition’s commitment to defend human rights was a sham.
“We voted them into power thinking that the standard of human rights would improve. But they are just another group of arrogant politicians who only talk without having anything in effect,” Farouk, who heads the Islamic Renaissance Front told FMT.
Ignatius contrasted the treatment meted out to Komis with government leaders’ repeated defence of Indian Muslim preacher Dr Zakir Naik, who has been charged in absentia in India with money laundering.
Ignatius recalled a statement by Foreign Minister Saifuddin Abdullah in which he assured that Putrajaya would be more careful in “sending people back”, with a promise to scrutinise extradition requests based on the spirit of human rights, freedom and the rule of law.
“Now we are left to wonder whether all those grand statements about human rights are just empty rhetoric, a mere ruse to justify the government’s refusal to deport Zakir Naik,” the outspoken former envoy told FMT.
FMT has learnt that Komis who arrived in Turkey with his wife and their four young children today was swiftly detained by police.
His deportation comes some two years after Malaysia fulfilled a similar request by the Turkish government to deport three of its nationals from Malaysia, which drew strong reactions from rights groups.
Ankara accuses Komis, who works at a Turkish private school in Kuala Lumpur, of links to the Gulen group, a faith-based social movement inspired by the teachings of exiled Turkish Muslim preacher Fethullah Gulen.
The Turkish government and official media call the group Feto, or Fethullahist Terrorist Organization, and has accused it of masterminding the failed coup in 2016.
Farouk described the move to deport Komis as the latest in a long chain of incidents “that was like a knife that strikes deep into our hearts”, and warned that Malaysia risked being known as a “pariah state” in the eyes of the international community for its disregard of human rights and rule of law.
Farouk took to task Saifuddin for not fulfilling a promise to observe an SOP to ensure that no one will be victimised by deportations.
He said following the outrage by rights groups over Malaysia’s deportation of four men to the Egyptian military regime earlier this year, Saifuddin had said that future cases would be referred to his ministry first.
“But it seems that the right hand doesn’t know what the left is doing. And that the police have their own SOP and were oblivious of any such rule or regulations by Wisma Putra.
“To me it only shows how incompetent the foreign minister is in ensuring that human rights is observed in the new Malaysia,” said Farouk.
Ignatius said the policy of deporting exiles wanted by authoritarian regimes was a shameful practice under the previous government, and was done to appease fellow Muslim states.
“It also raises the question of double standards – those fleeing persecution or prosecution from non-Muslim countries are given special protection whereas Muslims fleeing well-documented persecution from their own governments are sent back. It is imperative that the government adopts a fair and transparent policy for all such cases in the interest of upholding the rule of law,” he said.
Meanwhile, Amnesty International described the move to send back the Komis family as “deplorable”
“The family is at risk of serious human rights violations or abuses back in their country,” said Amnesty Malaysia’s executive director Shamini Darshni Kaliemuthu.
“The Malaysian authorities must never deport individuals where there is clear evidence of the human rights violations they may face at their destination,” she said, adding that Komis must be released “unless there is credible evidence of internationally recognisable criminal acts”.
Earlier, Human Rights Watch said the Pakatan Harapan government under Dr Mahathir Mohamad was “turning out to be just as bad as Najib and Barisan Nasional” in failing to protect refugees.
“This is a schoolteacher and his family who are persons of concern to UNHCR, with legal documents to work in Malaysia. They should be released and allowed to seek refugee protection,” HRW’s deputy Asia director Phil Robertson told FMT.
Komis is an asylum-seeker registered with the UNHCR office in Malaysia.
FMT has sighted a letter by the UNHCR urging Komis not to be deported to Turkey pending a decision on his application for refugee status.
FMT has reached out to the UNHCR for comments and is awaiting their response. The Turkish embassy in Malaysia has meanwhile refused to comment on the matter.

I entered a quilt show. The Rocky Mountain Quilt Festival to be exact. I entered as an individual with no guild ties because I wanted to be judged and I'll get the judges comments back when I pick up my quilt. But LOOK! Do you see the ribbon? How could you miss it, right? 2nd place in applique. I never expected that!
Here's the back story on the quilt. It started as a challenge between two friends and there were quite a few guidelines.
- it needs to be based on a poem or song
- outside perimeter dimensions were not to exceed 160" (this one is 120")
- both piecing and applique need to be used ( the back is comprised of lots of pieced pinwheels in purple and the polka dot fabric)
- and like the Hoffman Challenge, a certain fabric (in this case the polka dots) needed to be used.
I hand painted the background for this original design and am extremely pleased with the way it turned out. All the applique is satin stitched including the lamé on the dragonfly wings. My drawing style is pretty obviously cartoons. Try as I might to do realistic, it just doesn't happen.
Deb Geyer, in Anderson, Indiana did the quilting.

As expected, Facebook today once again updated its filing for an initial public offering (IPO) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This is the seventh time it has done so, and the biggest change is that has increased its IPO price range from $28-$35 to $34-38.
Here's the relevant text that was inserted in the seventh amendment:
In early May 2012, in consultation with the underwriters, we determined the anticipated initial public offering price range to be $28.00 to $35.00 per share. Subsequently, in mid-May 2012, we increased the anticipated initial public offering price range to $34.00 to $38.00 per share. The assumptions supporting the revised anticipated initial public offering price range represented management’s best estimates and discussions between us and the underwriters after approximately one week of marketing of the offering, and involved complex and subjective judgments. We believe the difference between the fair value of our Class B common stock as of January 31, 2012, which was $30.89 per share, and the revised anticipated initial public offering price range is due to many factors and we are unable to quantify the amount that any particular factor contributed to the increase in price. However, it should be noted that the two values were determined through different methodologies. The January 31, 2012 valuation followed the methodologies used in 2011 and was influenced in large part by third-party private stock sale activity that occurred in January 2012, whereas the revised anticipated initial public offering price range is primarily a result of the increased likelihood of consummating our initial public offering in the near term and our most recent conversations with the underwriters associated with our initial public offering. The revised anticipated initial public offering price range is also based on the assumption that our initial public offering has occurred and that a public market for our Class A common stock has been created, and therefore excludes any marketability or illiquidity discount, which was appropriately taken into account in our board of directors’ fair value determination as of January 31, 2012.
Furthermore, Facebook is now selling an additional 50.2 million shares.
Here's the relevant text:
We and the selling stockholders have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days from the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to 50,612,302 additional shares of common stock at the public offering price listed on the cover page of this prospectus, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters may exercise this option solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, made in connection with the offering of the shares of Class A common stock offered by this prospectus. To the extent the option is exercised, each underwriter will become obligated, subject to certain conditions, to purchase about the same percentage of the additional shares of Class A common stock as the number listed next to the underwriter’s name in the preceding table bears to the total number of shares of Class A common stock listed next to the names of all underwriters in the preceding table.
Previously, given the sale of some 337.4 million shares, the price range meant Facebook could raise between $5.04 billion and $6.30 billion for itself, as well as between $4.41 billion and $5.51 billion for its investors. The company estimated it will likely net $5.6 billion from the offering if it achieves a mid-point price of $31.50 per share.
Now, given the sale of 388.0 million shares, the new price range means Facebook could raise anywhere between $13.19 billion and 14.75 billion. Here is the relevant document filed today with the SEC you may want to check out for more information: Amendment No. 7 to Form S-1 REGISTRATION STATEMENT.

Arbitration, as a means to resolve the dispute between parties, is gradually gaining popularity. Nepal enacted the Arbitration Act,1999, with an aim to update the laws relating to arbitration as mentioned in the preamble of the act. Arbitration is regarded as a form of alternative dispute resolution, which is a legal technique of settlement of disputes outside the court, in which the disputing parties refer the case to an impartial or neutral third party regarded as an arbitrator.
Here is everything you need to know about arbitration law in Nepal.
Appointment of arbitrators
Section 5 of the Arbitration Act states that the number of arbitrators shall be determined as mentioned in an agreement. In case of failing to mention in the agreement, it should ordinarily be three in number. If an agreement has mentioned the number of arbitrators in even number, one member shall be added to it.
Further, section 6 of the Arbitration Act states that the process of appointment of arbitrators must be started within three months from the date when the reason for the settlement of disputes arises. The arbitrator is appointed in accordance to the clauses mentioned in the agreement. However, if no clauses are mentioned in regards to appointment, each party shall appoint one arbitrator and the arbitrators so appointed shall appoint a third arbitrator, who shall work as the chief arbitrator.
Disqualifications of arbitrators
Section 10 of the Arbitration Act provides the list of criteria of disqualification from getting appointed as arbitrators.
- Those who have no capacity to enter into a contract
- Those who have been punished by a court for criminal charges involving a moral turpitude
- Those who have become insolvent or who have been declared bankrupt
- Those who have any personal interest in the dispute that is to be settled through arbitration
- Those who do not possess the specific qualifications as mentioned in the arbitration agreement
Removal of arbitrators
As per Section 11 of Arbitration Act 2055, the parties can remove the arbitrators if the conditions mentioned in the agreement are not followed. If an agreement is silent about the conditions, the arbitrators can be removed from their responsibility in the following conditions:
- In case any arbitrator is clearly seen as biased or discriminating against any party instead of working in an impartial manner
- Where the arbitrator engages in improper actions or commits fraud in the course of the arbitration
- Frequently commits mistakes or irregularities in the course of the arbitration
- If the arbitrator does not attend meetings for more than three months, without furnishing satisfactory reasons, in order to delay the proceedings in an improper manner.
- Takes any action which is opposed to the principles or rules of natural justice
- The arbitrator is found to be lacking the necessary qualifications or to have ceased to be qualified
Places for arbitration
Section 12 states that arbitration shall be conducted where it is specified by an agreement. If an agreement is silent about the place, it shall be done at:
- A place determined by the disputing parties
- If the parties fail to agree, the place shall be specified by the arbitrators in the light of all the circumstances. However, the arbitrator may record the statements of witnesses, obtain opinions of experts and inspect any document, object or place at any other appropriate place.
Procedure of arbitration
The procedure of settlement of dispute through arbitration includes the following steps:
Step 1: Submission of claims
The plaintiff should submit its claim before the arbitrator in writing along with all evidence.
Step 2: Counterclaims
If the time is mentioned in the agreement, the opponent party shall submit its objection within the time limitation provided by the agreement. If the time limit has not been mentioned, counterclaims shall be submitted within 30 days from the date of the receipt of the claim.
Step 3: Rejoinders
The rejoinders should be submitted within 15 days from the date of submission of the counterclaim. A copy of the rejoinder should also be provided to the opponent party.
Step 4: Extension of submission time
In case any party fails to submit its counterclaim or rejoinder within the time limit due to circumstances beyond the control of the party, the party can submit an application to the arbitrator for an extension of the time limit within 15 days from the date of expiry of the time limit. If the reason for the extension seems satisfactory, the arbitrator may extend the time limit as requested.
