WASHINGTON – Iraqi Ambassador to the United States Fareed Yasseen said Iraq needs help from the international community with a “massive effort in psychological assistance” for survivors of violence in the country.
Yasseen also said the “demands” of reconstruction in Iraq are “humongous.”
“For most Iraqis and certainly for the Iraqi government, Iraq is not Iraq without its minorities. I mean, you know, we’re not North Korea, OK? And their preservation and their active preservation as vibrant participative members of society with their role intact and protected is vital,” Yasseen said during a discussion Tuesday on “Stabilizing Iraq: What is the Future for Minorities?” at the United States Institute of Peace (USIP).
“It is recognized by the constitution and this is why we have parliamentarians representing minorities by constitutionally mandated law in Iraq,” he added. “And as we move ahead, we will have to contend, like I said, with the liberation of the rest of Iraq” from ISIS.
Yasseen said the humanitarian and stabilization work is going “remarkably well,” according to the United Nations humanitarian coordinator in Iraq.
“We have to complete our stabilization of the liberated areas and then we’ll have to engage in reconstruction, and there the demands are humongous. Nobody, I think, has really come up with a definitive figure, but I look forward to a pledging conference that our Kuwaiti neighbors are planning to hold beginning in 2018 to try to help us do that. And we look beyond that to all our neighbors to chip in because our stability and the well-being of Iraqis is part of the stability of the region,” he said.
“But then beyond that we will have to look at the issues of governance and, for that, the trend of the politics that you see in Iraq and the intentions of the government are quite distinct. First of all, there is a genuine will towards decentralization, not only because it’s the right thing to do but also because it’s the efficient thing to do. Nobody’s governed better than when people govern themselves, and so this is what is in the plan. We intend to have elections at the beginning of next year,” he added.
Yasseen said another issue of “prime importance” for Iraq is “justice” because “people have been wronged.” Yasseen mentioned more work needing to be done to prevent “young Yazidi men from seeking revenge.”
Yazidis have been targeted as apostates by ISIS, with men killed and woman taken as sex slaves. According to a Reuters report in 2015, “Yazidis returning to their northern home area of Sinjar are uncovering one mass grave after another, evidence of Islamic State’s rule from last August until its fighters were driven back there late last year. Now some are striking back. More than a dozen Sunni Arab residents told Reuters that armed groups of Yazidis raided four of their villages in Sinjar two weeks ago, killing at least 21 people. A further 17 went missing.”
“Transitional justice, it’s not an easy thing to do and we’ll need all your help to do that, but beyond that we will need to heal the survivors. I mean, we will need a massive effort in psychological assistance,” Yasseen said. “I think all Iraqis are subject to PTSD, myself included, with varying degrees and I’m a mild form, so this is something that we need your help with.”
Yasseen read suggestions for helping Iraq that he drafted back in May 2003, shortly after the war in Iraq began.
“Iraq needs the help of experienced human rights organizations, medical and legal associations and donor agencies. Independently, Iraq human rights groups must be formed. These organizations should establish human rights centers in all major Iraqi cities. Processes and mechanisms for documentation and for identification of remains should be formulated and implemented. Iraqi lawyers should be trained on how to document and follow up on cases of disappearances,” he said.
Yasseen referred to the mass graves of Iraqis killed for opposing Saddam Hussein’s regime, which were discovered at the beginning of the Iraq war.
“Iraqi judges should be trained on how to prosecute them. Iraqi psychologists and psychiatrists should learn how to counsel survivors. Iraqi doctors should be trained on how to identify human remains and the Iraqi government should be helped to establish the institutional framework for all this to happen, and this can’t happen without a concerted international effort,” he said.
“The sad thing is I wrote this in May 2003 when those mass graves were discovered first and we’re still at point zero, and we have even more pressing cases for this and as opposed to what happened earlier. Now the wound is extremely raw and if it’s not dealt with very quickly it will fester, and God guard us from that.”

The pair missed quite a few chances in this match, but Carroll believes that in the long run, this won’t turn out to be a bad thing.
He said: “It’s also a good thing I think in the long run for Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison.
“I think we’re hoping that we can build a team around them over the next few years, moving towards Bramley Moore.
“I think Marcel Brands had a lot of confidence, didn’t he, when he first came to the club, and there was a clamour; ‘finally, can we replace Lukaku? Can we go and buy a striker? Can we buy a £60/70m player to play up front for us?’
“I think Brands did always have in the back of his mind that Calvert-Lewin was going to be a talent, and he’s been proved right this season.
“So, I don’t think it’s any bad thing for Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison to wake up this morning or to be directly told ‘you’ve cost us an important three points there.'”
Do you think Everton can build a team around this duo?
TIF Thoughts on Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison…
The duo both missed quite a few chances in this draw with the Eagles and Calvert-Lewin missed two one-on-ones, so you can see why Carroll blames them for Everton failing to win.
However, given that one is 24 and the other is 23 and have until June 2025 and June 2024 on their contracts respectively, you can see why Carroll perhaps sees them as players who future Everton sides can be built around.
However, Carroll claimed later on in the podcast (24:16) that he can’t see Richarlison being at Everton forever.

Japan's whaling ships have returned from the Southern Ocean with their smallest catch in years, prompting the fleet's leader to blame harassment by the Sea Shepherd marine conservation group for the shortfall.
The Nisshin Maru, the fleet's mother ship, returned to Tokyo harbour yesterday with just 507 whales, a little over half the target catch of 935, according to the fisheries agency. The haul of minke whales and a single finback was well down on last year's catch of 680.
The fleet said Sea Shepherd's attempts to sabotage the hunt had deprived it of 31 days' whaling.
The annual confrontation between the two groups reached its height in January with the sinking of Sea Shepherd's high-tech powerboat, the Ady Gil, after a collision with the Shonan Maru 2 harpoon boat.
The speedboat's skipper, Peter Bethune, later boarded the Shonan Maru 2 to carry out a citizen's arrest of the captain and hand over a £2m bill for the destruction of the Ady Gil. The 45-year-old New Zealander could face a lengthy prison term after being indicted by Japanese authorities on five charges, including trespassing and assault.
The whalers used water canon and a sonic crowd control device to deter Sea Shepherd, whose crew responded by hurling rancid-butter bombs.
The whaling fleet's leader, Shigetoshi Nishiwaki, said he was "furious" with Sea Shepherd for preventing it from reaching its quota during the five-month season.
"They say they protect the sea, but they don't care about leaking oil or leaving pieces of a boat behind," he said, in a reference to the stricken Ady Gil.
This winter's catch fell one short of the total for 2006-7 season, when the fleet returned home early after a fire broke out aboard the Nissin Maru.
Japan is permitted to slaughter the whales for "scientific research" thanks to a clause in the International Whaling Commission's 1986 moratorium on commercial whaling.

text: Abstract : Geophysical methods are becoming more popular nowadays in the field of hydrology due to their time and space efficiency. So an attempt has been made here to relate electrical resistivity with soil moisture content in the field. The experiments were carried out in an experimental watershed 'Mulehole' in southern India, which is a forested watershed with approximately 80% red soil. Five auger holes were drilled to perform the soil moisture and electrical resistivity measurements in a toposequence having red and black soils, with sandy weathered soil at the bottom. Soil moisture was measured using neutron probe and electrical resistivity was measured using electrical logging tool. The results indicate that electrical resistivity measurements can be used to measure soil moisture content for red soils only.

What is an EcoBoost Engine?
How Does EcoBoost Work?
One of the most revolutionary factors of the high-performance, eco-friendly EcoBoost engine is direct injection of gasoline. By delivering a light mist of gasoline directly into each of the engines cylinders, performance is increased while harmful emissions are decreased.
Ford engineers also added a turbocharger with intercooler that pressurizes the air coming into the engine. Forced induction dramatically increases horsepower and torque, giving smaller four-cylinder engines the power of a standard V6, and many V6 engines the equivalent power of a larger-displacement V8. Independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT) allows the EcoBoost to achieve class leading torque any RPM level. Unlike other turbo charged engines, the EcoBoost is able to obtain instantaneous low-end torque while avoiding turbo lag.
Where Can You Find the EcoBoost Motor?
Ford has added the EcoBoost motor to many of its models. Since the engine was introduced in 2011, it has proven its reputation as a solid, reliable performer.
Have questions about EcoBoost engine? Feel free to talk to one of our service experts or speak with one of our sales representatives to learn more about the new Ford models available with EcoBoost. Our dealership is happy to serve Abbotsford, Mission, Chilliwack, Langley, and Surrey, British Columbia.

Which makes her Mama cry,
And smile, because she knows
She was supposed
To be at least an Eryn,
But probably so much more.
Erynn breathes in average air,
Exhales without a (seeming) care,
But poetry flows and dances,
Taking daring chances,
Leaps and rolls off her tongue.
With her hand, she touches canvas
Mixing shades and colors in sensual bliss
Orange Girl, Pencil butterflies,
Whales and seahorses, sharing eyes
Come to life with a sweep of her brush.
My sweet poet, with a painters touch
It’s overwhelming to me that such
A magical and talented life that begun
within my body, is now twenty-one.
Happy Birthday Sweetie! I love you!

Science is our most precise and powerful tool for making sense of the world. Before we developed the scientific method, we created rich mythologies to explain the unknown. The pressing questions that primitive men and women asked are the same ones we ask as children. Who was the first person? What is the sun? Why is there night and day? The myths that address these questions are beautiful, but in every case their beauty is exceeded by the scientific truth.
With characteristic clarity and verve, Dawkins answers these big questions. Looking first at some of the myths that arose to answer the question, he then, dazzles us with the facts. He looks at the building blocks of matter, the first humans, the sun - explaining the life and death of stars; why there’s a night and a day - ranging from our solar system to the inner workings of our planet; what a rainbow really is—going from the rainbow in your backyard to the age of the universe; and finally, he poses a question that still baffles scientists: When did everything begin?

Audio version is superb for us grown-ups
If you could sum up The Magic of Reality in three words, what would they be?
eye-opening mesmerizing bravo
What other book might you compare The Magic of Reality to and why?
In a class of its own; a master and beloved teacher who is well known for his searing intellect and scorn for those who discount the collective intelligence of evidential science in favor of subjective and ancient woo, disarms himself in order to speak with gentle, unblinking clarity. Ostensibly he does this to honor his own commitment to spare youth from propaganda and unfair use of rhetorical flourish. But that technique is tremendously alluring for us grown-ups too. Here Richard Dawkins plays the wise uncle, mentoring our species to grow up and see the real world for what it really is: amazing
What about Richard Dawkins, and Lalla Ward’s performance did you like?
Their narration is more professional and alluring than that of most of the professionally narrated books I have listened to via Audible. I also loved the refreshing pattern of male and female voices taking turns.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Any additional comments?
If any book could give me hope that our species might actually make it through the necessary transitions, it is this one -- provided it is widely read and listened to. I first read the hardcover, gorgeously illustrated, but was surprised I loved it far more as an author-read audiobook by which I create the pictures in my own mind while dear Uncle Richard and Aunt Lalla are reading to me!

A Dawkins Book.....FOR KIDS
I mean this book is "for kids" in the best way possible, because I would actually buy it for MY kid. It's good for adults too, but pretty much sums up Dawkins' other books. I always feel a few IQ points smarter when I read his books. This one makes GREAT analogies that allows the listener to easily understand some of the more complicated subjects. Highly recommend for anyone new to Dawkins.

This was the most fun I’ve had on a project in a while, and I’m excited to break it all down for you today! If you haven’t seen my Instagram stories, go watch that first so you can see timelapse videos of the process in action…
Let me preface by saying I am not a professional by any stretch of the imagination. I loved art as a child but haven’t picked up a paint brush in 15 years! I didn’t remember a single thing about painting before this, so I spent a couple days searching YouTube videos to get reacquainted with the basics. I found this video to be the most helpful, and followed a few of his tips which I’ll share in this post.
When we built our DIY fireplace this past winter, my vision for the space included a large beautiful painting of some sort (the map was a placeholder).
Over the past few months, my focus narrowed in on an abstract landscape piece. I’m sure you’ve all seen those Frame TV‘s and how they look like a stunning piece of art (that you can easily change with the press of a button!). They seem to be all over Instagram, and were definitely part of the inspiration behind my idea.
I’ve also been seeing these floating canvases everywhere lately, and decided it would be simple enough to recreate.
Before gathering any supplies, I spent some time browsing online and researching what to paint. I find it much easier, especially as a beginner, to have something to reference instead of making it up as you go along—but that’s just me! After a long search, I settled on this image:
I loved the simple landscape, muted colors, and the brush technique seemed do-able for a beginner. Now, it was time to gather my supplies! The only thing I had on hand was a small set of inexpensive acrylics, and my trusty short angled brush used for DIY painting. Fortunately, I was able to borrow my MIL’s easel and a few of her brushes. The only materials I purchased were the following:
30×40″ canvas (on sale for $11)
Gesso (don’t skip this step!)
I was trying to keep costs down as much as possible so I didn’t splurge for the good stuff, and only spent $25 on supplies. That way I wouldn’t be too upset if it was a disaster 😉
On painting day, I rounded up a few brushes, choosing a small variety to cover my bases:
Then I set out my paints. Less is definitely more here—you can make almost any shade you want with just a few colors (I didn’t end up using the red and yellow).
The color scheme was inspired by our living room rug, with shades of olive green, brown, beige and rust:
For my palette, I took a tip from a YouTube video and used a baking pan, paper towel (soaked in water) and parchment paper. This is supposed to keep the acrylics from drying out, plus it’s easy cleanup (and free, yay!)
Here’s my dining room table setup with everything laid out.
The easel was too small for the canvas so it was a bit wobbly, but I made it work.
I also printed out my inspiration photo for easy reference.
The last and most important step before getting started… put on some good tunes! My music of choice was Norah Jones ??
Okay, let’s get started! Before picking up a brush, I did a light pencil sketch of the general shapes (dividing lines between different shades of color) but it turns out that was a waste of time since the gesso hides it (whoops, told you I’m a beginner).
So the real first step should be coating the canvas with gesso. I used my larger wooster brush for this.
Think of gesso as primer—it coats the canvas and fills in the texture, leaving you with a smooth surface for your paint to easily glide across. I applied two coats, and then immediately started the ‘underpainting’.
This is a base layer that builds up texture and depth using a transparent color (this article has a great explanation for why it’s needed). I chose white + a dash of burnt umber for my underpainting. You don’t need to spend too much time on this, you just want a nice varied layer to give depth and dimension to your final piece. Heck, you could even stop here if you wanted something super simple and abstract…
Before moving on, I figured I’d give my pencil sketch another shot. I definitely would not skip this step if you’re a beginner.
Now the real painting begins. I’m not sure if there’s a best approach to this, but I decided to paint in different layers by color, starting with my mid-tone using a mix of white, burnt umber, and viridian. I mixed in batches as I went—the color does not have to be exact each time so don’t worry about using precise amounts of each. Just continue to mix a little here and there and experiment!
Then I started adding in some of the shadows, using more burnt umber (or less white). These are screenshots from the timelapse shared in my IG stories:
Once the shadows were filled in, I moved onto the lighter shades, using a mix of mostly white + yellow ochre (plus a bit of burnt umber and dash of burnt sienna in some areas).
I found it helpful to have plenty of paint on the brush at all times, and not too much water as that could remove the paint to reveal the canvas underneath. You want to blend the colors together on the canvas a little, but not so much that they become completely muddled together.
Once I was pretty happy with the composition of the light and medium shades, I took a step back to evaluate.
Works for me! Next it was time to move onto the darkest shades and paint the trees. This part was a bit less abstract than the sky and foreground, so I tested out a few different brushes to try and figure out the right technique.
I’m sure there’s a brush out there that’s much better suited for what I needed, but the top right was the closest match so that’s what I went with (if you’re reading this and you’re a pro painter, please recommend a good brush?!)
I began by outlining the shape of the tree using pure burnt umber (following my pencil guides), and tried to make the edges as ‘smudgy’ as possible. It was a little tricky with this brush. I figured out that a damp paper towel helped to soften the lines a bit.
I also used the smaller paint brush for the areas with finer detail.
Around the trees, I used burnt umber mixed with a bit of white for the secondary dark shade.
The last 30 minutes or so were spent going back over a few areas that didn’t look quite right and making small adjustments until I was happy with it. It’s hard to know when to quit, and you can spend days painting and repainting over your work if you’re a perfectionist. I capped my painting time at around 3-4 hours to avoid this. Just keep in mind the words of the famous Bob Ross: There are no mistakes, only happy little accidents.
Ta-da! What do you think? Does it seem pretty doable? Here’s a closer look:
My advice if you’re just starting out—the more abstract the art, the easier it is. Anything goes and you won’t stress about how realistic/proportional it looks. The trees were the most difficult part of this painting, so you could skip those and just have a nice hillside landscape.
Another tip: start small. My 30×40″ canvas was a pretty massive space to work in, which means more room for “happy little accidents”. I’d go with a more manageable 8×10″ or 11×14″ size to get the hang of things first.
The final step is to protect your painting with a varnish/sealer. I used a water based matte Polycrylic.
Hopefully Esmé grows up to love this painting and I can pass it down to her one day, so it needs to last a very long time! No one has to know it only cost 25 bucks to make ?
Up next: the simple $10 DIY canvas floating frame we built for this painting. I decided it needed its’ own tutorial, so don’t go anywhere cause I’ll be sharing all the details here on the blog tomorrow!

One wonders if these assertions are true and what is being done to arrest the situation. This is as a pro Melaye lawmaker who is also a member of the opposition People’s Democratic Party, has cried out in defense of the brash lawmaker.
The lawmaker representing Bayelsa East in the upper chamber of the National Assembly, Ben Murray Bruce, has cried out that men of the Nigeria force were making frantic efforts to kill his colleague, Senator Dino Melaye.
You will recall that the Police had lay siege for a few days now at Dino Melaye’s house in Abuja and have said they would not leave until Dino Surrenders himself as he is being wanted for homicide.
Melaye had also raised the alarm that the IGP was attempting to arrest and inject him to death.
Ben Bruce tweeted, “#HappeningRightNow! The @PoliceNG are currently at @dino_melaye’s residence and are threatening to fire tire gas into the building.
“And this is intentional. They know he is asthmatic and if these gases go into his house, they’d kill him. Enough is Enough!”
What are your thoughts on this story? Do you think it is fair for the Police to lay siege ata Dino Melaye’s house? And are Ben Bruce allegations true? Lets have your thoughts.

Nannochloropsis algae is a staple for filter-feeding organisms and as a dietary supplement to promote growth in refugiums for aquariums. This algae is unique in the fact that it only contains Type A chlorophyll (no B or C) which enables it to take in other types of pigmentation. Feeding these to rotifers and copepods, and then in turn feeding those to your fish, will help promote a healthy diet and bring out more of the natural color in your fish and corals!
Isochrysis is a genus of phytoplankton that make for an excellent food source for many filter-feeding organisms. It can be used to “fertilize” stocking tanks for rotifers, copepods, and various shrimp species. This algae is a prized food source because of it’s high concentration of fatty acids, which growth in species that have a high kilocalorie consumption rate (such as mandarin dragonets and dartfish). By feeding this to rotifers and copepods, mysids, etc, then feeding those to your fish, you transfer all those desirable nutrients. This keeps your fish happy and healthy!

As the country is going through difficult times due to the Covid-19 pandemic, musician Dr. Drew real name Andrew Mijoya will on February 14 release his first Extended Play (EP) to cheer up his fans as the world celebrates love on Valentine’s day.
The EP will be dropped ahead of his debut album release later this year.
Tittled “love” the EP intends to remind all that despite going through hard times everyone can take time to appreciate and celebrate with those they love.
“This EP is a celebration of love, and it covers Agape (The God Kind of Love), and Eros (Romantic Love).
“It always feels great to help lighten up mood for my fans when they are passing through trying times,” said Dr. Drew, who is also a medical doctor by profession.
According to the artist he worked with one Lilongwe-based, and two Blantyre-based producers.
“Obed Kananji of Groove Factory Lilongwe produced two tracks namely ‘Ndiganiza za Iwe’ and ‘Ndimakukonda’, which were then recorded at Phantom by Blessings Hollah.
“Blantyre-based producer AB Malinga of Melodix studio produced My Everything and Original while ‘Chikondi’ was produced by myself and recorded at Phantom,” he said.
Among the artists he has collaborated with are Niekay on ‘Chikondi’, gospel rapper Regenerate on Original, and Tamanda Mgala on My Everything.
“We have taken time to explore different styles on this project. Two tracks have all instruments recorded live and the other three have a combination of live and digital instruments.
“We have also included rap on one of the tracks, which means that there is something for every listener out there,” explained the artist.

Two things happened recently that 99% of the ICT world would normally miss. After all microprocessor and chip interconnect technology is quite the geek area where we generally don’t venture into. So why would I want to bring this to your attention?
We are excited about the innovation that analytics, machine learning (ML) and all things real time processing will bring to our lives and the way we run our business. The data center, be it on an enterprise premise or truly on a cloud service provider’s infrastructure is being pressured to provide compute, memory, input/output (I/O) and storage requirements to take advantage of the hardware engineers would call ‘accelerators’. In its most simple form, an accelerator microprocessor does the specialty work for ML and analytics algorithms while the main microprocessor is trying to hold everything else together to ensure that all of the silicon parts are in sync. If we have a ML accelerator that is too fast with its answers, it will sit and wait for everyone else as its outcomes squeezed down a narrow, slow pipe or interconnect – in other words, the servers that are in the data center are not optimized for these workloads. The connection between the accelerators and the main components becomes the slowest and weakest link…. So now back to the news of the day.
A new high speed CPU-to-device interconnect standard, the Common Express Link (CXL) 1.0 was announced by Intel and a consortium of leading technology companies (Huawei and Cisco in the network infrastructure space, HPE and Dell EMC in the server hardware market, and Alibaba, Facebook, Google and Microsoft for the cloud services provider markets). CXL joins a crowded field of other standards already in the server link market including CAPI, NVLINK, GEN-Z and CCIX. CXL is being positioned to improve the performance of the links between FPGA and GPUs, the most common accelerators to be involved in ML-like workloads.
Of course there were some names that were absent from the launch – Arm, AMD, Nvidia, IBM, Amazon and Baidu. Each of them are members of the other standards bodies and probably are playing the waiting game.
Now let’s pause for a moment and look at the other announcement that happened at the same time. Nvidia and Mellanox announced that the two companies had reached a definitive agreement under which Nvidia will acquire Mellanox for $6.9 billion. Nvidia puts the acquisition reasons as “The data and compute intensity of modern workloads in AI, scientific computing and data analytics is growing exponentially and has put enormous performance demands on hyperscale and enterprise datacenters. While computing demand is surging, CPU performance advances are slowing as Moore’s law has ended. This has led to the adoption of accelerated computing with Nvidia GPUs and Mellanox’s intelligent networking solutions.”
So to me it seems that despite Intel working on CXL for four years, it looks like they might have been outbid by Nvidia for Mellanox. Mellanox has been around for 20 years and was the major supplier of Infiniband, a high speed interconnect that is common in high performance workloads and very well accepted by the HPC industry. (Note: Intel was also one of the founders of the Infiniband Trade Association, IBTA, before they opted to refocus on the PCI bus). With the growing need for fast links between the accelerators and the microprocessors, it would seem like Mellanox persistence had paid off and now has the market coming to it. One can’t help but think that as soon as Intel knew that Nvidia was getting Mellanox, it pushed forward with the CXL announcement – rumors that have had no response from any of the parties.
Advice for Tech Suppliers:
The two announcements are great for any vendor who is entering the AI, intense computing world using graphics and floating point arithmetic functions. We know that more digital-oriented solutions are asking for analytics based outcomes so there will be a growing demand for broader commoditized server platforms to support them. Tech suppliers should avoid backing or picking one of either the CXL or Infiniband at the moment until we see how the CXL standard evolves and how nVidia integrates Mellanox.
Advice for Tech Users:
These two announcements reflect innovation that is generally so far away from the end user, that it can go unnoticed. However, think about how USB (Universal Serial Bus) has changed the way we connect devices to our laptops, servers and other mobile devices. The same will true for this connection as more and more data is both read and outcomes generated by the ‘accelerators’ for the way we drive our cars, digitize our factories, run our hospitals, and search the Internet. Innovation in this space just got a shot in the arm from these two announcements.

Performing electrical wiring by yourself could be challenging. This is especially so when you lack the awareness along with the expertise in electrical stuff. The detail is you cannot do a trial and mistake approach when working with electrical wiring. Problems could price tag you a fortune or even your lifetime. That is definitely why before starting off any do-it-yourself electrical repair, you need to check with some electrical wiring queries in order to ensure you understand what you're performing. Something about electrical wiring is usually that wires tend to be color coded. Therefore, it is basically less difficult to grasp which ones choose which. Beneath would be the most typical electrical wiring concerns whose solutions generally contain colours to help you you establish just about every individual wire. - How To Connect Electrical Wires

How do You Wire a Change?
Among one of the most frequent electrical wiring concerns is regarding how to wire a switch. When utilizing switches at your home is quite straightforward, wiring 1 may not be that easy for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is in fact quite simple to wire. You'll find different types of switches, but for this instance, let us say you're installing a single-pole toggle switch, an incredibly frequent swap (and also the most basic).
You will find a few shades of wires inside of a usual single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and inexperienced. Splice the black wire in two and link them about the terminal screws - a person on prime as well as other around the bottom screw on the swap. The white wire serves like a resource of uninterrupted electrical power and it is generally related to your mild colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Connect the environmentally friendly wire to your ground screw of your respective swap.
These techniques would usually be adequate to produce an average switch work without a dilemma. Nonetheless, in case you are not self-assured you can attain the process adequately and safely and securely you greater allow the pros do it as an alternative. Just after all, you will find a motive why this job is without doubt one of the most frequent electrical wiring queries asked by most of the people.
How do You Wire a Ceiling Fan?
For a few reason, the best way to wire a ceiling fan is usually one among one of the most frequent electrical wiring questions. To simplify this activity, you can use a single switch for the single ceiling fan. To wire the enthusiast, it is only a issue of connecting the black wire on the ceiling fan on the black wire from the switch. When there is a lightweight, the blue wire must be connected to the black wire with the swap in addition.
How do You Exchange a Breaker and how Do you Insert a Sub Panel?
While quite a few try to perform these tasks them selves, plenty of people are recommended to rent an electrician alternatively. It is really far more complex and as a consequence hazardous for the majority of persons to try to exchange a breaker or include a panel. To provide you with an notion about these types of prevalent electrical wiring queries, you'd really need to get the job done with a hot electrical panel. In case you will not even determine what what this means is, you are simply not equipped to complete the work your self. Even when you really need to commit much more by using the services of an expert electrician, it's considerably safer and a lot more wise to try and do this as a substitute. - Pride Mobility Scooter Wiring Diagram Image Wiring Diagram Pride Mobility Scooter Wiring Diagram Pride Mobility Scooter Wiring Diagram Elegant Electric Scooter Wiringm Schwinn Electric Scooter Wiring Diagram #7056
There are motives why they are essentially the most commonly asked electrical wiring thoughts. Just one, many consider it truly is very simple to carry out, and two, these are definitely the common electrical tasks in the home. But then you really shouldn't put your protection at risk within your purpose to economize. The stakes could even be substantially larger for those who endeavor to get monetary savings and do an electrical wiring career without the need of ample understanding or encounter.

Ribera de Curtidores, Madrid, Spain. February, 2015
"Jeans represent democracy in fashion"
Good morning and happy Sunday,
after a busy period I'm back for sharing my passion for fashion with you.
This new post is in my mood 'cause represents my predilection for contrasts in the look as much as in
the location. The place I chose is popular here in Madrid among antiques lovers and with its cold
tones perfectly emphasizes this outfit so gritty and colorful. Moreover I opted for a look a bit casual
a bit chic: the fur vest, glam and striking, is perfect with an elegant dress as well as with a pair of
jeans and an informal sweater, especially if you choose a pair of stiletto shoes. It's a combination of
different styles, but it works and is one of the basic fashion rules: to dare and experiment.
The center piece of this outfit are these appliquè jeans that recall the 90s style, for its forms
and funny applications, mostly used as decorations for denim jackets or trousers and for the
accessories, as the clutch I wear. Therefore get ready to the 90s comeback: berry lips, choker
necklaces, accent braids, leather jackets, floral dresses, crop tops, large and colorful shirts.....
Pull out of the boxes all these things and you'll be trendy, stylish and up-to-date!
Hope you like it and have a nice weekend!

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) is taking decent steps to throw off its reputation as an archaic firm that represents an era long gone. The firm has been re-branding itself since Satya Nadella took over as CEO and it seems to be doing a great job. Microsoft has a new mission statement focused on a “Mobile First, Cloud First” approach. The firm is making coming up as a serious player in the tech space as it unveils pleasant surprises across its range of software and hardware products.
Nonetheless, the firm’s former CEO Steve Ballmer doesn’t think that Microsoft deserves the cheers. Steve Ballmer has taken up an issue with how Microsoft reports its financials and he thinks that some of the recent decisions at the firm might backfire in the end. Steve Ballmer aired his displeasure with Microsoft on Wednesday during an interview with Bloomberg.
Ballmer takes aim at Microsoft
Ballmer, apart from being the past CEO of Microsoft is an ardent supporter of the firm. Hence, any criticism that he has is very hard to ignore. He is opposed to the firm’s decision to share a run rate for its cloud business instead of posting the actual revenue from the segment. Microsoft’s Azure cloud business is drumming up support in the market and it is close to catching up with Amazon’s AWS cloud business.
Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) has high hopes for its cloud business but the firm is somewhat dodgy about the past performances of the sector. Revenue shows how much money a segment has brought in over a period, but run rate takes the income from a point and make forecasts based on that focal point. Microsoft has said that Azure will deliver $8.2B in annual revenue and that its revenue will reach $20B by 2018.
To date, Ballmer remains the largest individual shareholder at Microsoft. He has shares totaling 333 million shares, which is more than Bill Gates’ total share count of 223 million shares. He joined Bill Gates at the firm in 1980 to become employer number 30. He became the CEO of the firm in 2006 and has some achievements to his credit. He tripled the firm’s revenue to almost $78B and the profits of the firm jumped to $22B in his last year as the CEO.
Ballmer might be wrong on this
Ballmer also took issue with the elements of Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT)‘s “mobile first” approach. Nadella has outlined the “Universal Apps” that it is pushing developers to create as a vibrant tool for attracting apps to the Windows 10 platform. However, Ballmer thinks that Universal apps won’t work and that the firm was better off running Android apps.
At time of writing shares in Microsoft Corporation were selling for $55.31, up 2.05 percent for the day so far. That puts the firm close to its opening price on Thursday’s market, and the effect of Ballmer’s comments appears to have been small, if at all significant.

Who is my payroll provider?
Your payroll provider is the business service your employer uses to send you paychecks. If you have a paystub nearby the payroll provider name can often be found at the top, in either the left or right corners.
If you don’t have a paystub handy but you have access to them online or through a mobile app, your payroll provider may be the business website or mobile app you go to access those, as well as your W-2 for tax purposes.
Some examples of payroll service provider names: ADP, Workday, Gusto, Paychex, Paylocity, Paycom, or Toast.
If you still are not sure who your payroll provider is, your employer will know! Check with them.
Where will my next paycheck go?
Once your paycheck is successfully set up to go to Clair, your next paycheck will arrive on the same day you are used to, but will now be conveniently deposited into your Clair Spending Account. Any early pay you received from Clair will be taken out of your paycheck.
How can I spend on Clair?
Once your account is active you will have instant access to your virtual card, which you can use to make online purchases (Doordash, UberEats, online shopping, etc). You can also add your virtual card to your mobile wallet (ApplePay, GooglePay, SamsungPay) to
spend money at physical stores that accept mobile wallet or tap-to-pay transactions (most grocery stores, drugstores, etc)!
Once your physical card arrives, remember to log into the Clair App* to activate it. Then you can use it anywhere Debit Mastercard® is accepted.
Can I pay my bills with Clair?
Yes, please find 3 options below:
Pay bills electronically, by using your debit card or your account and routing number to send funds from your Spending Account. You can view your account and routing numbers in the Settings page in the Clair App.
Transfer money directly to another bank account. Within the Clair App, you can make an external ACH transfer to the bank of your choice.
Mail a check. Within the Clair App, you will also have the ability to send a check, for a fee of $2.00. Most checks are delivered within 3-7 business days.
How does Clair On-Demand Pay work?
After you work a shift, a percentage of your earned wages will be available for you to advance.
You can then advance this percentage of your earned wages after each shift, up to a limit between paychecks.
When your next paycheck is directly deposited into your Clair Spending Account, Clair will take repayment from your Clair Spending Account for any advances. Once Clair is repaid, your limit refreshes and you can resume advancing once you work your next shift.
As a reminder, with Clair, there are no fees, interest, or charges for wage advances.
Can I send a portion of my paycheck to Clair?
Yes, certain payroll providers (e.x. ADP, Gusto, Workday) allow you to direct deposit a fixed amount or percentage of your paycheck into your Clair Spending Account. You can also enter your desired settings into your payroll system or direct deposit form manually. We calculate your On-Demand Pay based on how much of your paycheck you send to this account. The more of your paycheck you send to your Clair Spending Account, the more of your paycheck you can advance! We recommend sending at least 50%.

Overview of ADHD:
ADHD is neither a” new” internal health problem nor is it a complaint created for the purpose of particular gain or fiscal profit by pharmaceutical companies, the internal health field, or by the media. It’s a veritably real behavioral and medical complaint that affects millions of people civil. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), ADHD is one of the most common internal diseases in children and adolescents. According to NIMH, the estimated number of children with ADHD is between 3- 5 of the population. NIMH also estimates that4.1 percent of grown-ups have
ADHD History of ADHD:
In 1902, there’s the first proved complaint relating this was in Britain, and the croaker. who diagnosed the impulsive complaint was named Dr. Still. He called this complaint” disfigurement of Moral Control” and he believed that the diagnosed existent had a medical complaint beyond their control. Charles Bradley introduced the use of instigations in children who were hyperactive. I still find it intriguing that instigations were allowed.
In 1980, the complaint was given its current name of Attention deficiency complaint, with or without hyperactivity. This was proved in the DSM- III put out by the American Psychiatric Association. ADD and ADHD were two different judgments. Next, in 1987, ADD was changed to Attention deficiency Hyperactivity complaint. The American Psychiatric Associated noted that this was a medical opinion, and not purely cerebral. They also noted that ADHD could beget behavioral issues. In 1996, a new drug called Adderall was approved by the FDA for the treatment of ADHD. After a period of time, it was supposed to be better at treating the complaint since it lasted longer and was easier to come down off of. In 1999, other specifics were added to treat ADHD similar as Concerta and Focalin. In 2003, Strattera was introduced as the first ADHD drug that wasn’t a goad. This medicine acted like an antidepressant, but increased the quantum of norepinephrine in the brain.
Recent research on ADHA:
According to Model Research, I don’t have real-time access to current exploration.
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental
Complaints that usually begin with the most common and may persist for most of the time. Research on ADHD is a dynamic field, and scientists continue to study its causes, opinions, treatments, and operations. Then there are some important areas of research related to ADHD.
Brain Structure and Function:
Researchers have used color imaging methods, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to study the brain structure and functioning of individuals with ADHD. These studies have shown differences in certain brain regions involved in attention, impulse control, and executive functions.
Genetics and Heredity:
Studies have indicated that ADHD has a strong genetic component. Researchers have linked several genes that may contribute to the development of ADHD, although it is likely that multiple genes interact with environmental factors to influence risk. Environmental factors are experienced color testing.
This may contribute to the development or exacerbation of ADHD symptoms. These factors include prenatal. Exposure to substances (eg, smoking, alcohol, drugs), preterm birth, low birth weight, and exposure to toxins or adulterants.
Research suggests that imbalances in certain neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and norepinephrine, may contribute to ADHD symptoms. Drugs commonly used to treat ADHD, such as stimulants (eg, methylphenidate, amphetamines), work by blocking the release of these neurotransmitters.
ADHD often coexists with other underlying health conditions, such as anxiety disorders, depression, and learning disabilities. Research aims to understand the relationship between ADHD and these comorbidities and develop effective treatment strategies. Nonpharmacological Interventions Experimenters are exploring a variety of nonpharmacological interventions for managing ADHD symptoms, including behavioral, cognitive training, mindfulness practices, and lifestyle changes (eg, exercise, diet).
It is important to note that these areas of exploration are constantly evolving, and new discoveries in September 2021 may be beyond my knowledge. For the most extreme information, I recommend reaching out to reputable sources, academic journals, or medical professionals. In ADHD.
Causes, symptoms and treatment ADHA patient:
The exact causes of ADHD aren’t completely understood, but it’s believed to affect from a combination of inheritable, neurological, and environmental factors. Some implicit factors that may contribute to ADHD include.
ADHD tends to run in families, suggesting an inheritable element. Certain genes associated with brain function and neurotransmitter regulation are believed to play a part.
Differences in brain structure and functioning have been observed in individualities with ADHD, particularly in areas related to attention and impulse control.
Factors similar as exposure to environmental poisons during gestation, unseasonable birth, low birth weight, and antenatal tobacco or alcohol exposure may increase the threat of developing ADHD.
The symptoms of ADHD can be distributed into two main types inattentive symptoms and hyperactive/ impulsive symptoms. individualities with ADHD may parade some or all of the following symptoms.
Difficulty sustaining attention and being fluently detracted. Struggles with organizing tasks and conditioning. Frequent obliviousness and losing things. Difficulty following instructions and completing tasks.
Hyperactive/ Impulsive Symptoms:
Restlessness, wriggling, and inordinate talking Difficulty staying seated and constantly being” on the go” Impulsivity, acting without thinking of consequences interposing or intruding on others’ exchanges or conditioning.
Treatment for ADHD generally involves a multimodal approach that combines colorful strategies, including.
Behavioral remedy, similar as cognitive- behavioral remedy (CBT), can help individualities with ADHD develop managing chops, ameliorate tone- control, and manage impulsive actions.
Drug goad specifics:
Similar as methylphenidate (Ritalin) or amphetamines (Adderall), are generally specified to help manage ADHD symptoms. Non-stimulant specifics like atomoxetine (Strattera) may be specified as a volition.
Parenthood and Educational:
Support furnishing parents and preceptors with training and support in managing ADHD can be salutary. Creating structured routines, setting clear prospects, and using positive underpinning ways are frequently helpful.
Fresh support services, similar as occupational remedy or social chops training, can help individualities with ADHD in perfecting their administrative functioning, social relations, and overall quality of life.
Showing Difficulty Living with ADHA in personal life:
Living with ADHD can present unique challenges and gests for individualities. While cannot partake particular stories, I can give you with some common gests and stories participated by people living with ADHD. These stories can help exfoliate light on the day- to- day realities and perspectives of those with ADHD.
Difficulty with focus and attention:
Many individuals with ADHD struggle with maintaining focus, staying on task, and avoiding distractions. They may find it difficult to concentrate on a single task for long periods of time, leading to frustration and difficulty in academic or professional settings.
Acceleration and Acceleration:
ADHD can manifest as abnormal states of motivation and energy. People with ADHD may act on impulses without considering the consequences, intrude on exchanges, and have a constant urge to move or squirm. This can make it difficult to maintain tone control in color situations.
Time Management and Organization:
Organizing tasks, prioritizing responsibilities, and managing time effectively can be difficult for individuals with ADHD. They may struggle with planning, completing tasks, and meeting deadlines. This can lead to feelings of overwhelm and frustration, which affect academic performance, work productivity, and special relationships.
Social and Emotional:
Challenges ADHD can affect social relationships and emotional regulation. Individualists may find it critical to listen attentively during exchanges, consider social cues, or parade sentimentality. Which affects their connections. Emotion regulation can also be difficult, with some individuals having difficulty controlling emotional feelings or emotional responses.
Power and Creativity:
Although ADHD presents challenges, it is important to recognize that individuals with ADHD often retain unique strengths. They can parade high levels of creativity, assume outside the box, and transcend areas that tolerate quick thinking or rigor. Harnessing these strengths can be an important factor in effectively managing ADHD.

While fillings are usually the first-line treatment for small cavities, they usually aren’t suitable for severe tooth decay. Luckily, dentists have several advanced methods of restoring your teeth to improve both their form & function.

If a cavity becomes too big, it may put the structural integrity of your tooth at risk. When this happens, simply putting a filling in that space is not enough to hold your tooth together. In this case, the next step up from a filling is an inlay.
Inlays are sturdier than fillings, but they also require more dental work. Your dentist will need to take an impression of the affected tooth to send to a dental lab, which will fabricate the inlay for a perfect fit. In the meantime you’ll be given a temporary inlay until your second appointment, when the dentist will put in the final restoration.
Onlays are similar to inlays, but they are used when tooth decay has spread from the inside grooves to the cusp, which is the raised edge that runs around your tooth. The cusp is your primary biting surface, so an onlay can help you regain the ability to chew your favorite foods.
Crowns: A New Tooth Fit for a King
Left untreated long enough, a cavity can become far too large or widespread to merely fill the gap with a filling, inlay or onlay. The heavy-duty solution for patients with advanced tooth decay is typically a dental crown.
Like with inlays & onlays, preparing & placing a crown takes two appointments. During your initial appointment, your dentist will take an impression of all your teeth, file down your damaged tooth & give you a temporary crown while the lab creates a permanent one. When you come back, your dentist will fit the crown.
This might sound like an exhausting process, but it’s a worthwhile way to take back your smile from pesky plaque & caries. With any of the aforementioned options, you’ll be able to easily enjoy the way your teeth look & eat whatever you like without worry.

UK: Transport for London and Network Rail opened a public consultation for the proposed Crossrail 2 route on May 14. The consultation aims to establish the level of support for the scheme and a preferred route. It will close on August 2, and its findings will then be presented to the mayor and to the public on the internet. More detailed consultations would follow.
The second Crossrail route would run north-south to complement the east-west Crossrail 1, currently under construction. It will be operational no earlier than 2030. A route for the line has been kept free from any intrusive building development since 1991, with new buildings along the route built to allow for a railway line.
Two options are proposed. The metro option would build a tunnel between Wimbledon in the southwest and Alexandra Palace in the northeast. A high-frequency underground service would call at Tooting Broadway, Clapham Junction, King's Road Chelsea, Victoria, Tottenham Court Road, Euston-St Pancras, Angel, Dalston Junction, Seven Sisters and Turnpike Lane. Interchange with Crossrail 1 would be provided at Tottenham Court Road. An option for a station at Piccadilly Circus is also being examined.
The suburban option extends the metro route in both directions, running over existing heavy rail lines to Cheshunt in the north and various destinations to the southwest of London. This option would be more like Crossrail 1, where train services will run over existing Network Rail infrastructure beyond the central underground core.

One of the projects I have been working on since last summer is a campaign to promote gardening in Massachusetts. It has been a joint effort with the MNLA (Massachusetts Nursery and Landscape Association) and MFG (Massachusetts Flower Growers Association). Our goal is to get kids, families and adults away from the TV or computer and outside and into the garden. May 1st we met at an Elementary School in Dorchester that has a terrific teaching garden for students, many of who who don’t have a lot of space to garden in the city. We planted Marigolds with the kids in an effort to kickoff the campaign. When Governor Patrick was made aware of our efforts, he accepted an offer to join us! I was very impressed with his gardening skills and knowledge. He did not just pose for the cameras, he helped plant some Columbine in the teaching garden and was great with the kids showing them how to plant the Marigolds in pots. He worked the soil with his hands and “Played Dirty”, even in the rain with us! I had a chance to ask the Governor about what his favorite plant was from his own garden. Answer?

The immediate and short-term plan is to improve flow of containers using information technology
Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has come forward to offer assistance to Chennai Port Trust for improving container movement.
The move would help the export-import trade plan better and save on time and cost. Further, the offer assumes significance, coming as it does in the backdrop of Chennai-Bangalore Industrial Corridor project, in which JICA will have a major engagement.
Chief Representative at JICA India Office Shinya Ejima said, “We are willing to help the port” from the perspective of improving efficiency of the port operations. The prospects of JICA joining hands with the port for this purpose were discussed when he met a senior official of the port, Mr.Ejima told The Hindu during his visit to Chennai recently.
The immediate and short-term plan is to improve the flow of containers using information technology. Pointing out that the port administration was trying to reduce congestion, particularly the long queue of container trailers, he said Japan has experience in improving port operation. And this it was able to achieve by “using not very complicated, but simple technology.”
While highlighting the importance of good road infrastructure, Mr.Ejima referred to the stoppage of work on the Chennai Port-Maduravoyal elevated four-lane link road project. Japanese industrial units in the State, he added, were looking forward to the project. “I don’t know what is the real cause [but] if the plan exists and construction is started, [it’s] better to solve the issue,” he said, adding the elevated road would be important in terms of improving access to the port.
On the Chennai-Bangalore Industrial Corridor project, he said the master plan study had recently got under way and set to be completed by early 2015. It involves comprehensive perspective planning at corridor level and detailed planning at industrial-node level mainly in the sectors of transportation, power/energy, water and industrial park.
The study will cover an area of 560 km across Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. It will cost around Rs.37 crore and help arrive at the total cost of the project.
With regard to the progress made by the ongoing Chennai Metro Rail project, being funded by JICA, Mr.Ejima said, “The project implementation has not been delayed so much. Of course, not everything is perfect. They are working quite hard.” With regard to the State government not evincing interest in pursuing the next phase of Chennai Metro, he said the network expansion was very important.
Bangkok, he added, got the Metro during the late 1990s but because of various reasons it was not expanded. “Now they are facing heavy traffic congestion in central Bangkok. Delhi Metro started a few years after Bangkok but the network was continuously expanded and it has reached nearly 200 km. After three years it will be reach 300 km… very impressive,” he said.
“We expect Chennai not to stop with this and expand and extend the Metro [to] phase II and III,” he added.
Replying to a query on other projects in Tamil Nadu, he said JICA was considering extending assistance for establishing an outpatient tower and purchase of equipment to the Institute of Child Health and Hospital for Children, Egmore, Chennai.
The proposal was in the final stage of decision-making, he said, adding JICA was in discussion with the Japanese government to make an official commitment and it was likely to be made by this fiscal.

Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel scrambles away from the Missouri pass rush this past season.
INDIANAPOLIS – Bruce Arians has coached many successful quarterbacks during his NFL tenure, and nearly all of them fit a certain prototype: tall, sturdy pocket passers with a big arm. Denver's Peyton Manning, Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger and Indianapolis' Andrew Luck are among his former pupils, while current quarterback Carson Palmer also fits the mold.
The main topic of conversation at the NFL Scouting combine, though, is about a certain 5-foot-11, Heisman Trophy winning scrambler. When the Cardinals' coach was asked if Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel could fit into his offense, Arians didn't hesitate to say yes.
"There's no doubt," Arians said. "He's 5-11 and Ben Roethlisberger is 6-6, but he lived that way early in his
career. One, two, (then) I'm going to create something. He did not make mistakes. As long as (Manziel) isn't making mistakes, you can live with it."
It's unlikely Manziel falls to the Cardinals at No. 20 overall. Most projections have him among the top five picks, with No. 1 overall a possibility. His Houdini-like ability to evade rushers and a track record of success has quarterback-starved franchises taking a close look. There are questions about his size, although the emergence of Russell Wilson in Seattle has been a boon to diminutive quarterbacks.
Manziel was officially measured at 5-foot-11 ¾ on Friday, a figure the confident gunslinger shrugged off.
"I feel like I play like I'm 10 feet tall," he said. "A measurement to me is just a number."
Manziel was the most anticipated guest in the media area at Lucas Oil Stadium. He slipped in a back door and answered questions from an overflow throng of reporters. He claims to still be a small-town kid, but is clearly the most high-profile player in this draft.
Jaguars General Manager David Caldwell, whose team picks third overall, insisted it was only Manziel's talent and not his marketability that would impact Jacksonville's decision. However, there's no doubt the team who chooses him will feel the glare of the spotlight.
"Manziel's got that 'It' factor," said NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock. "It doesn't matter if it's Cleveland, Seattle, Dallas. He's just going to be who he is."
Manziel won't throw at the combine -- doing so instead for teams in individual workouts -- but will participate in the rest of the physical activities. Much of his collegiate success came from his ability to freelance and create plays out of nothing, and critics wonder if that skill will translate to an NFL where defenders are faster across the board. Manziel believes his game is more refined than the highlight-scrambles show.
"I'm looking forward to showing up all the people that are saying that I'm just an improviser," he said. "I feel like I worked extremely hard this year to all-around hone in on my game."
Arians is wary of the hits scrambling quarterbacks take throughout the season, especially on designed runs. However, if he did coach Manziel, he said there would be no overhaul to his game. Staying in the pocket would be stressed, but Arians believes Manziel has specific strengths which, if inhibited, would be counterproductive.
"The same things were always being said about Roethlisberger: He doesn't throw the ball away, he takes too many hits, extends plays too long," Arians said. "He got hurt one time doing it, so everybody wanted to change the way he plays football. You can't change the way a guy plays football. You have to accept who he is."

Address: 12 Lan Kwai Fong, Central 中環蘭桂坊12號地下
Telephone: 2869 0099
Rockabilly, the newest bar to take up residence in Lan Kwai Fong, is going to rock Hong Kong’s hungry souls with its enticing offerings of draft beers, spiked slushies and gourmet snacks.
Rockabilly is an operation by the Eclipse Hospitality Group, which also runs Café Siam, TAKU and Coyote Bar & Grill. Split over two floors, the bar’s decor takes inspiration from an abandoned car repair shop and tattoo parlour, with neon signage and vintage fixtures imbuing the space with a sense of effortless cool.
The Blue Moon slushie ($50) was a tasty start to a fun-filled evening. Made with white rum, Curaçao, pineapple juice and coconut milk, it tasted very similar to a piña colada but was in a rather confusing blue colour.
The other girls ordered a Pink Cadillac slushie ($50), made of Tequila Reposado, Grenadine and fresh lemon and lime juice, which tasted citrus and refreshing, and a Purple Haze slushie ($65), a beautiful two-tiered drink made of Blue Moon slushie and Pink Cadillac slushie, which turned purple as the two colours gradually mixed together.
I went to Rockabilly with the Sassy Girls, who just happen to be some of the coolest and most adorable girls in town, and all of us were over the moon when we saw the 7 types of irresistable fries on the menu.
The pepperoni pizza fries ($72) were sheer deliciousness, with the generous toppings of cheese, crispy pepperoni and homemade tomato sauce hitting all the right notes. The poutine fries ($75) were a favourite for some of us, as the beef gravy was excellently flavourful, but I wished there was more melted cheese in it (see the pulled pork poutine I had at Common Room).
The chili cheese fries ($75) and the bbq cheese fries ($72) both had a delightful punch.
The garlic aioli fries ($75), with an intense garlic taste, were a gorgeous symphony of flavours. The chicken curry fries ($85) were an inspired creation, and were a tad more filling than the rest of the fries as there was some chicken meat in them.
The Rockabilly Wings ($98), a signature dish on the menu, were worth every calorie. Marinated for 48 hours in a mixture of herbs and then deep fried, the chicken wings were magnificently crunchy on the surface and exquisitely tender on the inside, and their herbal flavours were outstanding.
The bar’s menu features 8 beef sliders and 3 gourmet sliders, and it was only right that we tried at least a few of these! We ordered the “Boss Hog” pork belly sliders ($138), and I found the well-grilled and juicy pork belly a great complement with the refreshing redslaw. My only complaint was that the pork belly could have been more tender.
The “Sponge Bob” fried fish sliders ($138), served with a dollop of tartar sauce, were truly satisfying, and the freshly fried fish was piping hot and satisfying.
Last but not least, the Smokey Monroe sliders ($122) completely blew our mind – the beef patty was thick and remarkably juicy, and they were the perfect partner for my Blue Moon slushie!
The menu of Rockabilly may be limited (we tried almost every item on the menu), but each dish has been well thought out and delivered a lasting impression. Do look out for their happy hour promotions: $10 Tuesdays ($10 sliders all night with the purchase of any beverage), Rock-A-Betty Wednesdays (free slushies for the ladies from 6pm – 9pm upstairs) and Draft Thursdays (free slider with the purchase of any draft beer)- these will make your tummy, as well as your wallet, very happy!

Joint Press Release
Attacks against Gaza based non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have continued as the office of Palestinian Non-governmental Organizations Network (PNGO) in Gaza City was broken into and some of its belongings were stolen or sabotaged. The stolen belongings include a small amount of cash. In previous attacks, the offices of the Costal Municipalities Water Utility, the Al Dameer Association for Human Rights, the Independent Commission for Human Rights, and the An-Najd Development Forum were broken into. An office of an international NGO, the Cooperative Housing Foundation (CHF), which is located in the same building that hosts PNGO in Gaza City, was also broken into yesterday. The undersigned organizations strongly condemn the continued attacks on civil society organizations and call on the authorities in the Gaza Strip to act in accord with their legal obligations, investigate these crimes, make public the results of the investigations, and bring to justice those who prove to be involved in them.
On Sunday 13 December 2009, the offices of PNGO and CHF in Gaza City were broken into and some of their belongings were stolen or sabotaged. The two offices are located in the Abu Al Qmsan Building near Shifa Tower, west of Gaza City. PNGO staff members reported that they noticed a clear mishandling of papers and documents in their office. A small amount of cash (NIS 2,369) was also lost. They also noticed that there was no forced breaking into or damage to any doors or windows in the office, which suggests that the trespassers had the ability to open closed doors without forcibly breaking them.
It should be noted that the office of CHF was broken into the same way as PNG, despite that the office door was closed by a high quality locks (multi-lock) and was closed when the staff left the office yesterday. The perpetrators entered the office and destroyed one of two empty safes.
The undersigned human rights organizations gravely condemn the assault on the office of PNGO and the CHF. They also note the timing of these assaults, as PNGO have just won the French Republic Human Rights Award and are still being exposed to a defamation campaign by the pro-Israel lobby due to their role in confronting Israel's human rights violations and the siege imposed on the Gaza Strip, and for their pioneering role in the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaigns against Israel's violations of international law.
The undersigned organizations express their deep concern by the repetition of such assaults against NGOs and international organizations in the Gaza Strip. The nature of assaults raises doubts about the real motivations of the perpetrators, particularly as the stolen objects are not valuable, but there was extensive mishandling of papers, documents and computers in most assaults.
In light of the above, the undersign human rights organizations call on the Gaza Government police to open a prompt, transparent, and credible investigation into these criminal acts and bring their perpetrators to justice without delay. The authorities are called to reveal information about the investigations in previous similar assaults, particularly the assault against the office of Al Dameer Association for Human Rights; and to take all the necessary procedures to protect the civil society organizations' security and facilitate their work.

Politically charged hard rock act Corporate Avenger has hit the road in support of its debut full-length album, "Freedom is a State of Mind," released yesterday (July 24) by Suburban Noize/Koch Records. Supported by fellow Southern California-based act Insolence, which is touring behind its Warner Bros. debut set "Revolution," Corporate Avenger plays tomorrow in St. Louis, and has dates scheduled through Aug. 17 in West Hollywood, Calif.
Beastie Boys' Mike Diamond, Alanis Morissette, Jackson Browne, Barenaked Ladies, Dave Matthews Band, Moby, Phish's Trey Anastasio, James Taylor, and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are among the artists who have teamed up with the Save Our Environment Coalition in an initiative to oppose the energy plan of President George W. Bush.
R&B acts Destiny's Child and Monica, along with legendary performer Liza Minnelli, have been added to the lineup for the upcoming Michael Jackson tribute concerts at New York's Madison Square Garden. Destiny's Child will perform a medley of their hits during the Sept. 7 event, according to the show's producer, David Gest, while Minnelli and Monica are set to appear at both shows, Sept. 7 and 10.
Seminal guitar rock outfit Living Colour has reunited and begun lining up dates for a handful of U.S. tour dates, kicking off Aug. 1 in Old Bridge, N.J., according to the Black Rock Coalition, a non-profit agency dedicated to promoting the work of black musicians. The organization was founded by Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reid.
Napster has named Konrad Hilbers as CEO, Billboard Bulletin reports. The announcement was made yesterday (July 24) at the Plug.In online music conference in New York, which was presented by Jupiter Media Metrix in association with Billboard. Hilbers succeeds Hank Barry, who has served as interim CEO since May 2000 and will remain on Napster's board of directors.
Hard rock act Nickelback will hit the road at the end of August with 3 Doors Down in advance of its third album, "Silver Side Up," due Sept. 11 on Roadrunner. The band will play a stateside date on Aug. 5 in Eastacade, Ore., and then head to Europe for promotion. The band will return to North America for the 3 Doors Down tour, beginning with an Aug. 31 show at the Minnesota State Fair in St. Paul. More dates are expected to be added in coming weeks.
More than a decade after voluntarily introducing "parental advisory" labels, the recording industry is putting some promotional weight behind the stickers. Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) president/CEO Hilary Rosen announced yesterday (July 24) that the industry will launch a new campaign to improve awareness of the advisory labels, which are used to denote recordings with potentially offensive lyrical content.
Being in a rock band from Miami isn't always easy. In a city known for its beautiful beaches, club music, and fashion-driven culture, MCA act Darwin's Waiting Room struggled to find venues to play and an audience for its brand of rap-inflected rock.
While known for their eclectic and often downright goofy songs, They Might Be Giants take a stab at sincerity on the forthcoming album "Mink Car," due Sept. 11 via Restless Records. Such a statement should not deter longtime fans of the band, as there's plenty of the trademark wit for which John Flansburgh and John Linnell are known laced through a collection of songs inspired by a typically wide range of musical influences.
