I have a new Desktop PC (QUAD CORE AMD BULLDOZER 3.6GHZ 1TB HDD 8GB DDR3 RAM HOME DESKTOP COMPUTER PC (200704429960))which has no wifi adapter fitted. I was going to purchase one that the PC supplier recommended ( W311P - 150M WIRELESS PCI ADAPTOR COMPUTER PC), but now that I no longer need wifi in my older Medion MD8393 PC, I thought that I might swap it over to my new PC.
The only problem is that I can't actually find it !
The Medion instruction manual does not give very much in the way of technical detail, but then it is not meant
to be a maintenance manual.
The motherboard is an MSI MS-7502: http://edan.net23.net/allegro/plyta-glowna_komp-msi/DSCI0032.JPG
Can anyone tell me where to locate it please ?
I'm also going to transfer the TV tuner card over to the new PC once I have succesfully installed the wifi card, but I think that I can do that without any help.
One final thing I intend doing, is to buy a half-decent graphics card for the new PC as it only has integrated graphics. The Medion has an Nvidia GeForce 9500 GS, but I require a HD card in the new PC and at the moment, in the price range that I can afford, I'm considering either:
Sapphire Radeon HD7750 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI EXPRESS 3.0 x 16 HDCP Ready (11202-00-20G)
or the less expensive:
Sapphire Radeon HD6670 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI EXPRESS 2.1 x 16 HDCP Ready Low Profile (100326LP).
I would appreciate any thoughts on either of these two video cards or indeed, any suggestions on other compatible cards within the same price range.

I’ve been a loyal patient at this dental practice since the ’80s, and my recent annual cleaning reaffirmed why. Cindy, the dental hygienist, provided exceptional care. Her gentle touch and genuine concern for my comfort made the cleaning a breeze. I’ve always received top-notch service here, and Cindy’s expertise is a shining example of their commitment to patient satisfaction. Highly recommend this practice for their outstanding staff and long-standing dedication to dental health.
You know that you have a problem. Your dentures are loose, and that is annoying, frustrating, and inconvenient, to put it mildly.
A Worsening Problem
Dentures rest over your gums. They are not held securely in place. When you realize that this won’t stop bone loss in your jaw. That changes the shape of your jaw and makes your dentures more likely to move around.
Dental implants are designed to replace the roots of your lost teeth. They are placed in your jaw, which does two important things. First, it anchors your dentures to your jaw, which prevents slipping and sliding when you speak and eat. Second, it stimulates the jaw to prevent continued bone loss.
Just as important, you can restore your biting and chewing power. That means you can eat a wider variety of foods. This means you will be able to eat what you want and improve the nutrition in your diet as you get older.
Don’t settle for loose dentures. Keep them firmly in place with dental implants instead. Call Charlotte Dentistry at 704-285-0846 to schedule your appointment in Charlotte, NC.

ABBA — Ring Ring
Once upon a time, I decided to listen to ABBA. It’s been a while since I volitionally listened to such “easy” music (in contrast to Zappa, Krautrock or Mahavishnu Orchestra, just to mention a few). Surprisingly enough, I found myself enjoying this album, especially the B-side of it, which was far less dance-floor oriented than its A-side counterpart. The songs are well done, and there’s some variety in the style too, from the rocking Ring Ring to the slower and mind-soothing I Am Just a Girl, yet they’re still too simple for my taste. Also, most annoyingly, almost all of them were about love, and love alone. Yet here’s an exception from this rule, one of the reasons why I picked He Is Your Brother as my favourite track on this album.
Yesterday I tried to pull off a full scale Frank Zappa show. The idea was to play five albums in a row: Absolutely Free.
The Mothers of Invention — Absolutely Free
Frank Zappa and the Abnuceals Emuukha Electric Symphony Orchestra — Lumpy Gravy (reedited 1968 version)
The Mothers of Invention— We’re Only in It For The Money
The Mothers of Invention seem to prevent Zappa from going completely paranoid, yet the songs still jump from one style to another, a feature which irritates rather than pleases (and doesn’t help the headache either). However it still is amazing how a human mind could come up with music like this. The brilliancy of Zappa is his ability to come up with stuff that’s completely different from anything else, music from a different existence, which it yet for us to hear. If you feel tired with music in general, listen to this.
“I will love the police as they kick the shit out of me on the street.” — Who Needs The Peace Corps?
There were some problems with the latter half of the album, so I will leave this album unmarked for now.

Join Hafta-Ichi to Research the article “Covid infections may have peaked in parts of England, experts say | Coronavirus”
The number of people testing positive for coronavirus has begun to level off in some parts of England and may have peaked in others, experts have said.
There are now more Covid patients in hospital in the UK, and more on mechanical ventilation, than in the first wave of the pandemic. However, experts say the tide might be beginning to turn on infections.
According to analysis of data by the MRC biostatistics unit at Cambridge University, the number of infections in England overall is declining. Infections are still on the rise in the south-west and the north-east but appear to have plateaued in the East and West Midlands and are falling in regions including London and the south-east.
The R number for London, indicating the average number of people to whom an infected person passes the virus, is estimated by the team to be around 0.6.
The team say the trends are likely to reflect a drop in the spread of the virus following the introduction of tier 4 restrictions, school holidays and reduced movement over the festive period, but the impact of the national lockdown has yet to become apparent.
Despite the positive signs, they say measures to reduce the spread of the disease will be needed for some time. “The prevalence of infection remains high and the demand on healthcare services is currently extreme, so continued restrictions are needed to lower these levels and to maintain control over transmission,” they say.
According to government figures, the number of people testing positive for coronavirus in the UK (by date reported) reached a high of 68,053 on 8 January and has since fallen, with 48,682 new cases reported on Thursday.
Prof Karl Friston of University College London, who is a member of the Independent Sage group of experts, said it appeared that new cases had now reached their peak for the nation as a whole.
“It is difficult to directly interpret the reported cases because fluctuations in reported cases depend upon the number of virus tests conducted – and self-selection sampling bias. However, when you model the underlying incidence and prevalence, then it looks as if new cases have now peaked,” he said.
“This is further confirmed by a number of other metrics that look as if they are peaking,” he added referring to data from sources such as the Covid symptom study, led by King’s College London, which suggests the R number across the UK is now 0.9, with cases slowly beginning to fall in England and Wales. Friston said modelling of real-time parameters also suggested the R number was now below 1.
But Dr Michael Tildesley, of the University of Warwick, who is part of the SPI-M modelling group that feeds into the government’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage), said more time was needed before it becomes clear how case numbers are changing.
“There are early signals in the south-east and London that spread may be slowing but there is still a lot of uncertainty around this,” he said. Tildesley urged caution about drawing conclusions about falls in new cases over small areas when there are rises in other nearby local authorities. “We really need to see longer-term trends across these regions to have confidence that cases are falling.”
Dr Kit Yates, a co-director of the Centre for Mathematical Biology at the University of Bath and a member of Independent Sage, agreed. “I think we probably need to wait a couple more days to see whether we expect a plateau or a fall [in national rates] as the impact of schools going back and people going back to work [is seen],” he said.
“Although schools are supposed to be closed, we are hearing of many schools with far more kids attending than in the first lockdown, which will contribute to the spread. That impact will be beginning to be felt around now in cases numbers. If things continue to fall over the next couple of days then we can be more confident that the current lockdown is enough to bring R below 1.”
Prof Steven Riley, of Imperial College London, who is also part of SPI-M, said it was important to see how quickly cases fell. “In order to take pressure off the NHS, we need to get to low prevalence in the community as quickly as possible. A slow decline is going to lead to very high levels of Covid patients in hospitals for a prolonged period,” he said.

Rome is the second city to welcome the Formula E electric championship series following Rio di Janeiro’s announcement in August.
The first full season of Formula E racing, the 2014 Championship, will feature 10 urban races. Rather than being held at a race track, the Formula E series will be held in city centers. Because the Formula E cars are powered on electricity, the race won’t add to the toxic fume pollution in the city, nor add to noise pollution in the city.
Formula E Holdings say that a large number of cities are interested in hosting the Formula E series races. The list of venues will soon be proposed to the FIA for the first season (2014) and there will be further announcements of other cities in the coming weeks.
For Formula E to provide cars to teams should reduce the barrier-to-entry for teams to sign up and participate. At the same time, by being an ‘open’ series the door is open to a team to develop their own race cars. For example, when Toyota Motorsports set a lap record at the Nürburgring (or Nürburg Ring) in August 2011, with the EV P001, they claimed to have proved the TMG electric drive train was “ideal to power any future single-make electric motorsport series.” This is a broad hint that TMG intends to participate in a future electric race car series, and/or to supply parts to teams who wish to do so.
Jean Todt, FIA President, said: “It gives me great pleasure to be in Rome for this exciting announcement that the eternal city has expressed its firm interest to host a race in the Formula E 2014 championship calendar. The contrast between this innovative motorsport series and the rich ancient history of Rome is one I am sure the public and the media will be intrigued and enriched by.”
Alejandro Agag, CEO of Formula E Holdings said: “We are honored to have Rome on board as the first European city to host Formula E, since Italy is renowned for its motorsports passion, expertise and technical innovation. Clean urban mobility and sustainability are a priority for our Championship, and Formula E wants to become a showcase for these advances through an entertaining and all-inclusive spectacle. We are thankful to the Rome City Mayor and authorities for their enthusiastic welcome and support.”

242. Memorandum From the Administrator, Agency for International Development (Gaud) and Secretary of Agriculture Freeman to President Johnson 1
- Economic Assistance to Indonesia
Helping the Suharto Government get its economic house in order involves two separable problems:
- How to fulfill the U.S. share of the Inter-Governmental Group support of the Indonesia stabilization program for Calendar Year 1967, on which we are still $27 million short of the $65 million U.S. commitment; and
- How to help stimulate rapid enough developmental progress in Indonesia to sustain public and army support of the promising new trend in Indonesian political orientation and leadership without loosening the economic stabilization discipline which is essential to long run solution of Indonesia’s problems. The second of these two matters will be the subject of studies being undertaken by the World Bank and Asian Development Bank, which will not be available even in preliminary outline until about the end of this year.
This memorandum deals with the first item. A.I.D., with the concurrence of State,2 proposes to meet the U.S. commitment this year in the following way:
Actions already taken:
- A.I.D. loans—$30 million
- P.L. 480 cotton credit—$8 million
- P.L. 480 rice credit—$20 million
- P.L. 480 tobacco credit up to $2 million
- (P.L. 480 terms to be dollar-repayable loans—40-year maturity
interest during 10-year grace period, 2–1/2% thereafter).
The balance of $5–$7 million, to be covered in November by either P.L. 480 cotton credit (if demand for raw cotton has by then revived) or by an A.I.D. loan.[Page 523]
Agriculture concurs in the rice component of this package if it is decided as a matter of policy that Indonesia is of sufficiently high priority to risk diversion of rice from cash exports. Whether such diversion will actually be necessary depends on the size of this Fall’s U.S. rice harvest, the trend in Vietnam rice requirements and the behavior of the world rice market. With a bumper U.S. crop, we might get by without any visible diversion at all. But if we didn’t—and if the diversion were fairly obvious—we could expect criticism on the Hill. Secretary Freeman is prepared to take the risk if you concur with the State/A.I.D. proposition that Indonesia is important enough to be worth it.
Specifically, this package requires your approval to commit 100,000 tons of P.L. 480 rice to Indonesia, as a priority claim on a supply which otherwise could be fully absorbed in Vietnam, Africa, and in commercial exports. This would not mean a rice shortage in Vietnam. It would still permit providing Vietnam 550,000 tons under P.L. 480 from the current U.S. crop. In addition, we would still be able in the Spring to provide an additional 100,000 to 200,000 tons to Vietnam from the current crop (to be divided between P.L. 480 and cash sales, depending on the Vietnamese foreign exchange situation), plus small amounts to fulfill outstanding commitments to the Congo, Ghana and Liberia.
However, the above allocation totals more than the minimum of 670,000 tons Agriculture now expects to be available for P.L. 480 from this year’s crop. Although our crop may turn out to be large enough to cover it, we won’t know until October. But it makes very good foreign policy sense to let the Indonesians know now. The price of telling them now is that if our crop is not any larger than the low end of Agriculture’s range, we will have to choose between lowering P.L. 480 rice shipments to Vietnam and cutting into U.S. commercial rice exports.
Even with a very large U.S. crop, this rice commitment to Indonesia would probably foreclose the possibility of meeting 100,000 tons of Vietnam rice requirements from the United States, and cause Vietnam to turn to Thailand or Taiwan for purchases with Vietnamese-owned foreign exchange for that amount. We believe this will cause minimum domestic political difficulty here if the commitment to Indonesia is made at the beginning of the U.S. crop, i.e., this month, and any further Vietnamese purchases are made from Thailand/Taiwan next spring when the U.S. exportable surplus of rice is fully committed elsewhere.
The extreme tightness of U.S. rice availabilities, despite a record crop, and the growing shortage of rice in Southeast Asia to meet the world demand indicate need for reconsideration of existing restraints on U.S. rice acreage allocations for the future. This question will be addressed by the Department of Agriculture, State, Budget Bureau and A.I.D. in the near future looking toward budget decisions affecting the 1968–69 crop year.[Page 524]
We may need to return to you later concerning the $7 million of our 1967 commitment which will remain to be met beyond this 100,000 tons of rice. This will have to be put together through some combination of non-grain P.L. 480 and A.I.D. loans. But you need not make that decision now.
That you approve a priority claim of Indonesia for 100,000 tons of the P.L. 480 rice program, on the terms proposed above, subject to the development of an agricultural self-help commitment by the Indonesians satisfactory to Secretary Freeman and Administrator Gaud.

More than just a city of gleaming malls and luxury brands, Singapore is home to a multitude of passionate local craftsmen, artisans and business owners.
During the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of these homegrown heroes faced their fair share of adversity, overcoming seemingly insurmountable challenges with grace, tenacity and sheer passion for their craft.
Venture behind the scenes with these heroes of retail, and share in the struggles and triumphs they’ve faced amidst tough times.
Tradition amidst new trials
“It’s a very challenging time right now, but tea runs in our blood” says Kenry Peh, fourth-generation owner of well-loved heritage brand Pek Sin Choon.
Kenry’s life work centres on keeping the traditions of tea alive. With original roasted tea blends offered at almost every bak kut teh (peppery pork soup) eatery here, it’s no exaggeration to say that his 95-year-old business has served multiple generations of Singaporeans.
The tea leaves here are still wrapped by hand in traditional paper squares. Utilising a decades-old folding technique, elderly packers deftly assemble an impressive 2,000 packets daily at Pek Sin Choon’s shophouse in Mosque Street.
In spite of rising costs and fewer customers due to heightened social distancing measures in the early stages of the pandemic, the future is looking brighter for Kenry, with walk-in customers now able to visit his store.
Kenry’s unwavering commitment to his craft is echoed by other independent businesses facing dwindling sales in the wake of the pandemic.
In the apparel industry, fashion label Reckless Ericka is striving to keep local craftsmanship alive. Helmed by Singaporean designer Afton Chen, the womenswear brand outsources its sewing to seamstresses whose livelihoods would have otherwise been significantly impacted by the pandemic.
“I've worked with these ladies for 11 years. I really admire their craft, and we're almost like family,” Afton explains of her decision to continue employing marginalised craftsmen. “Our customers understand that they’re a huge part of our brand and identity.”
To adapt and to overcome
Ever since the pandemic started, many other brick-and-mortar retailers were forced to adapt and display entrepreneurial ingenuity to stay afloat.
Books Actually—a stalwart of the local literary community—is one such example. The beloved Tiong Bahru bookshop shifted its operations online entirely in September, allowing avid readers to continue to purchase books from the comfort of their homes.
It was owner Kenny Leck’s foresight and acumen that allowed him to evolve his business, reimagine the concept of a literary community, and begin a new chapter in the business. “Before the circuit breaker [A period that required Singaporeans to stay home and minimise face-to-face contact], we only had 600 titles online,” Kenny tells us of the burgeoning endeavour. “Now we have up to 2,500, and are adding more every day.”
“We’ve even transformed how we promote our writers by going digital completely.” In order to garner publicity, Kenny tapped on innovation and the power of online media, hosting a series of live Instagram chats and virtual interviews with local and international authors from all walks of life.
Similarly, Sifr Aromatics was compelled to hop into the world of e-commerce when its perfumery on Arab Street had to shut its doors.
Its online shop was launched in April 2020 and offers worldwide shipping in a bid to reach potential customers beyond our island’s shores.
“Though we may be [physically] distant from our customers now, we’ve made ourselves more available through other channels like email and social media,” says founder Johari Kazura, who hails from a family of perfumers.
As patrons were not able to conveniently customise fragrances in person during that period, Mr Kazura had to proactively send out sample kits, while being extra descriptive about the scents and his personal recommendations.
Despite being unable to meet customers face-to-face during the early period of COVID-19, remote communication allowed him an avenue to better understand some of their needs.
“I’ve actually deepened my connection with some of our customers who’ve reached out to us from their homes via social media,” he shares. “It leads me to understand how important we’ve been to them.”
The unwavering light of passion
Despite new changes in the months ahead, our retail heroes have evolved their businesses, created novel ways to connect with customers and continued to shine the unwavering light of their passions into an uncertain future.
“I think this experience will make us even stronger,” Afton enthuses. She’s already gearing up to launch a new collection and meeting clients for bespoke appointments.
As Jamal confidently sums up, “It’s not about making a quick sale. At the end of the day, it is the personal experience we provide that encourages people to come back to us.”
Likewise, local readers have continued to express their deep, abiding regard for Kenny Leck and his commitment to the local literary scene.
“I had a customer who used to buy books every month or so, who started buying them every week during the pandemic,” Kenny shares. “When I reached out to thank him, he merely said that it was his way of helping us during this tough time. Customers from overseas have purchased books and left messages online encouraging us…and that’s really, really nice.”
Having weathered so many storms through the decades, Mr Peh is determined to get back on track with furthering Pek Sin Choon’s vision, and perhaps says it best when asked about the future.
“The art of tea making is both bitter and sweet, and the world is always changing,” he shares. “But Pek Sin Choon’s vision will never change, and we’ll continue to be here, introducing people to the world of tea.”

After losing three of their previous five games, the Buffalo Bills are no longer at the top of the AFC East. They could get back there in Week 12, but for that, they need to beat the New Orleans Saints at Superdome. That’s something they haven’t done since 1998, but on the bright side for Sean McDermott boys, the Saints are on a losing streak with three straight defeats.
The problem is that the Bills might not be in a good mood ahead of Thanksgiving, considering that they got blown out by the Indianapolis Colts last Sunday. Their offense looked anemic, while their defense had their worst outing in over a year, allowing 41 points.
Bills vs Saints Odds (NFL Week 12, 2021)
All odds are per FanDuel as of November 22.
|New Orleans Saints||+176|
|Buffalo Bills -4||-114|
|New Orleans Saints +4||-106|
Where and When to Watch
- Date: Thursday, November 25,
- Time: 8:20 pm ET
- Location: Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, LA
- Watch: CBS
A Must-Win Game for Buffalo
The Bills started the season with a loss but then went on to win the next four games. That made them one of the top betting favorites for the Super Bowl LVI, while their quarterback, Josh Allen, entered the MVP race.
However, they then entered a period where they lost three out of five games, which caused them to drop from the #1 place in the divisional table. The worst of those defeats was the one that happened last Sunday when the Colts demolished them 41-15.
Despite the blowout loss, the Bills’ defense remains one of the best in the league. Actually, with 17.6 points conceded per game, they have the second-best average – just behind the New England Patriots with 16.1.
Beating the Saints is a must for the bills if they wish to stay in the race for the divisional title. The thing is that they have just one win fewer than the Patriots, the team they’re taking on in Week 13.
Taysom Hill To Return for the Saints
The Saints lost their previous three games, despite being the betting favorite in two of those. One of the reasons behind this is that Trevor Siemian played as their QB in the absence of Taysom Hill. In those three games, he threw for a total of seven touchdowns, while two of his passes were intercepted. On top of that, he got sacked five times.
Perhaps Siemian isn’t entirely to blame for all this, but he’ll probably have to make way for Hill once he fully recovers from an injury. The good news is that Hill could make a return in time for the Thanksgiving game, which should make the Saints more dangerous in the offense.
Still, to be fair, their offense wasn’t too bad in the previous three games. The defense, on the other hand, was dreadful, with 30.0 points against them on average over that period. That’s not something you’d expect from a team with playoff ambitions.
That said, they will probably fix some problems in their defense, but that probably isn’t going to be enough to get a win on Thanksgiving. Instead, it’s very likely the Bills will be the ones to celebrate after the game.
Picks: Buffalo Bills to win and cover the spread; under should hit.

Police: Pedestrian killed in overnight crash on Hubbell Avenue
The Des Moines Police Department launched an investigation Sunday morning after a car struck and killed a pedestrian on Hubbell Avenue.
The crash occurred just before 5 a.m. in the 4500 block of Hubbell Avenue. Police said officers arrived to find a man dead at the scene.
According to the police department’s preliminary investigation, the man was in a traffic lane when he was struck by a vehicle traveling south on Hubbell Avenue.
Police said driver impairment is ruled out as a contributing factor to the crash, but the technical crash investigation is ongoing.
The investigation resulted in the closure of Hubbell Avenue’s southbound lanes at the scene of the crash.


China to Pilot Digital Yuan in These 28 Cities, Said Commerce Ministry
The long-anticipated digital yuan will be piloted in more cities across the country, announced China’s commerce ministry on Friday August 14.
The pilot cities announced this time are no longer limited to several heavyweight cities previously reported but with a large number of places included.
According to the official statement, these cities include those in the northern Chinese region of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, eastern region of Yangtze River Delta, “Greater Bay Area” around the Pearl River Delta, and some cities in Midwestern China where conditions are met.
The document makes it clear that digital yuan will be piloted in aforementioned cities, and said that the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) shall formulate policy safeguards. Cities like Shenzhen, Chengdu, Suzhou, Xiong’an New Area and future winter Olympic scenarios will assist in the pilot project, and then it will expand to other regions as the case may be.
On hearing the news, the digital currency-related stocks in the country surged. By midday, the digital currency sector was up 2.65% at 1429.12, with several stocks rising nearly 10%.
The spate of digital yuan related news over the past few months indicates that the DCEP might have been ready to come out.
Earlier this month, 8btc has reported that China’s major state-run commercial banks had been conducting large-scale internal testing of the digital wallet designed for the digital yuan, which indicates a step closer to the official launch of the country’s central bank digital currency.
On August 3, the PBoC pointed out in a video conference for the second half of 2020 that the “closed trial of legal digital currency has been successfully launched” in the first half of the year, and the research and development on it will be “actively yet prudently promoted” in the second half.
In April, employees of administrative units in Xiangcheng district in Suzhou city were reportedly required to install a digital wallet to receive 50 percent of their transport subsidies in the new digital currency.
The digital economy is an increasingly important driver of global economic growth. The R&D and application of legal digital currency are conducive to efficiently meeting the demand of the public in the digital economy, improving the convenience, security and anti-counterfeiting level in retail payment, and boosting the development of China’s digital economy.
As early as 2014, the People’s Bank of China has set up a special team to study issues regarding the framework of digital currency issuance, key technologies, circulation environment and relevant international experience. In 2017, the PBoC organized some heavyweight commercial banks and institutions to jointly develop the digital yuan (also referred to as DC/EP) system. DC/EP has basically completed the work of top-level design, standard formulation, functional research and development, joint testing under the premise of adhering to two-layer operation, cash (M0) substitution and controllable anonymity.

Mark Di Ionno for The Star-Ledger
Lou DiGeronimo's Sandy recovery plan wasn't new. The Paramus architect is an old pro who believed in a common sense solutions: Come up with a few standard models, buy and construct in bulk, streamline the permit process and get people back home.
Rome wasn't built in a day, but Levittowns – soup-to-nut cities of 50,000 people – were built in three years or less. Why should this disaster recovery take so long?
History was on DiGeronimo's side. In April 1906, half of San Francisco's population of 250,000 was left homeless after a historic earthquake and fire. Within months, the U.S. Army and the city parks department hammered out 5,300 durable wooden shacks, first put in camps, then successfully moved to properties around the city. How durable? One just sold in Telegraph Hill for $765,000.
In this century, Marianne Cusato, a designer and professor of practice at Notre Dame's School of Architecture, did something similar after Hurricane Katrina. She designed 14 models of Katrina Cottages, ranging from 600 to 1,200 square feet. Three hundred permanent structures were built in Louisiana; a few hundred of her mobile units replaced FEMA trailers in Mississippi.
She's been lobbying for a national disaster "playbook" ever since.

Talking to your kids about substance abuse and drug prevention is extremely important as drug
use has become a major epidemic nationwide. As parents are already aware, kids soak up the
actions and adapt to the environment around them, so teaching them about the dangers of drugs is very important. As kids get older, they will begin to experience more real-world problems at home and in the classroom. Below we will provide a few tips on talking to your kids about drugs through open communication and education while also rewarding good behavior.
Open communication is essential for all stages of your children’s life. As a parent, you can
encourage good communication at an early age by assuring your children that they can talk to you about difficult topics like drug use. This will help them to create an open line of communication as they start to become young adults. Make sure you are actively listening to your children, as well as asking them questions about their friends, school environment, etc. Building this type of trust and bond will help you and your children to avoid many problems and put you in a great position to handle issues that are unavoidable.
Educating your kids about drugs may seem a little unusual at first, but it is a topic that they should be aware of. Many schools start drug prevention education in elementary school, so it’s
important that you are simultaneously following up with this education to ensure your kids
understand why it is so important. Educate your children on drug facts, and prepare them for
situations they may face in the near future, such as peer pressure. Peer pressure can happen at
any age, and talking to your kids about this will help them be more aware of these types of situations and learn how to say “no.”
Many aspects of social media can make your children more aware of drug use. As they watch
tv, movies and use multiple social media platforms, your child will likely see the glamorization of drugs and alcohol use. These images can quickly become instilled into your children’s brain, so let them know ahead of time that what they see on tv is not acceptable behavior. They should also be aware of the consequences they will face if they choose to imitate pop culture and start experimenting with drugs.
Rewarding Good Behavior
If your children practice these good behaviors and come to you for guidance, reward them! This
will help your kids to understand what is right by providing positive reinforcement. When
they make good choices and choose to spend their time working hard towards a good, healthy future, let them know that you are proud of them. Reassurance goes a long way toward helping them to make good decisions and say no to drugs.
Having age-appropriate conversations and following these practices can make a world of
difference when you are talking to your kids about drugs. As children may end up in difficult
situations that they do not expect, it’s important that parents to do their best to prepare them beforehand. So talk to your children about drug use if you have not done so already. The right guidance can make all of the difference in helping your children to secure a happy, healthy and successful future.

What is Kambo?
Kambo derives from the secretion of the Amazonian giant waxy tree frog Phillomedusa Bicolor. The secretion comprises a unique complex cocktail of bioactive peptides and neuropeptides that produce incredible health-promoting benefits for the body and mind. These peptides can perform a broad range of functions affecting the gastrointestinal system, cardiovascular system, the immune system and the nervous system.
The peptides found in Kambo can offer benefits for people who suffer from recurrent infections, chronic fatigue, PTSD, autoimmune disorders, cancer, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, sleeping issues, parasites and candida, gut and digestive issues, pms/pmdd and other hormonal issues, infertility, c**** long haul symptoms, and more.
People also often report an improvement in memory, their mental clarity, energy levels, their immune system, libido, stamina, and strength.
Kambo is administered through small superficial burns in the skin. This creates entry "gates" for the secretion to enter the bloodstream. Once it is applied to the gates, the effects are immediate and typically produce sensations like a warm flush, increase in heart rate and numbness and tingling of the ears, tongue and lips. These sensations last approximately 5-7 minutes followed by 10-15 minutes of flu-like symptoms. This can result in the client needing to purge, but because water is drank beforehand, the purge is typically smooth and without discomfort. After a total of 20 minutes, the Kambo secretions are removed and all symptoms subside (but the benefits remain!).

Just when it looked like it couldn’t get worse
It’s no secret that our friends at Tandem (NASDAQ: TNDM) are in a pickle. The company is running out of money and is in desperate need of additional capital. Based on their most recent public statements and/or SEC filings they are down to just a little over $14 million in available cash. Back on the 16th of January the company filed and S-1 which was later amended on the 29th. In the amended S-1 they stated they intended to raise $46 million by issuing another 13.5 million shares.
That is the last we have heard as they have yet to execute this offering, which is not shocking given the plethora of issues facing the company. Yet just when it looked like things couldn’t get any worse they now must deal with a crazy stock market which has no appetite for deals which will dilute and destroy shareholder value. Listen we may not be market analysts by any stretch of the imagination, but it does not take an advanced degree in finance from the University of Chicago to figure this one out.
Even without all this market craziness Oppenheimer, the lead underwriter for the offering had a herculean task ahead of them. Listen these folks are pretty good at shoveling corporate crapolla but with Tandem this is more than putting lipstick on a pig. This is like convincing Diabetic Investor that Sanofi (NYSE: SNY) isn’t as dumb as they look in diabetes.
But that’s not the only thing as we noted earlier today there continues to be a host of insulin pump newbies. Yep, companies are spending millions, so they too can get their heads bashed in going up against Medtronic (NYSE: MDT).
Listen while everyone is celebrating the Eagles victory over the hated Patriots, the fact is the Patriots have won 5 Superbowls and are favored to win next year’s Superbowl even though they are about lose both their offensive and defensive coordinators plus one of their best players is contemplating retirement. While underdogs do occasionally prevail in the NFL, the fact is Medtronic is to insulin pumps what the New England Patriots are to football, damn good.
Think about this just for a moment, had it not been for two controversial calls, some missed extra points and a missed field goal everyone would be bemoaning yet another Patriots championship. We don’t want to take anything away from the Eagles who we predicted to win but the facts are what they are.
The same goes for Medtronic who like the Patriots are hated by almost everyone for their dominance. We do not refer to them as the evil empire by accident. Like the Patriots, a team that has been known to play fast and lose with the rules, Medtronic is not as pure as Creaser’s wife. Still like the Patriots it is difficult to argue they are not dominate and the team everyone wants to be, the team everyone wants to beat. As several Eagles players noted after the game until the last hail Mary hit the ground they couldn’t believe they had won the game.
The harsh reality for Tandem is even with a complete make over, more money combined with a new management team, winning will be difficult. Heck just staying alive would be an accomplishment. Perhaps this is why combined with crazy markets the company and their underwriters are having a difficult time selling space on the lifeboats after the ship has hit the iceberg.
Perhaps potential investors are asking a simple question; After we give you our money what’s the plan? How will you fix all the problems? How will you make money in the future when the only thing you have demonstrated consistently is your ability to lose money? Ok that’s three questions.
Shares of Tandem have fallen over 13% since they filed the original S-1 was filed while the NASDAQ has declined just under 5% over the same time frame. Throw another 13.5 million shares into the mix, the company currently has just over 10 million shares outstanding, and the numbers even with very fuzzy math don’t add up. Throw in the company’s negative worth, market cap slightly over $26 million debt outstanding over $80 million and its no wonder the sales team at Oppenheimer is downing Pepto Bismol by the gallon. Listen if this team pulls this one off it will be a bigger upset than the Eagles beating the Patriots.

A day of peaceful commemoration of the second anniversary of Michael Brown’s death was marred Tuesday night when gunfire broke out after a protester was struck by a motorist.
After a quiet morning vigil and evening church service, the night turned violent when a car struck a protester standing on West Florissant Avenue.
Others among the roughly 75 protesters began trying to cut off the car, which then reversed direction to try to avoid the crowd, according to several witnesses.
At that point, witnesses said, several protesters pulled out guns and began chasing and firing at the fleeing car.
“I just started screaming, and the bullets started flying, and I started screaming some more,” said Heather DeMian, of St. Charles, a regular protester who has been live-streaming Ferguson protests.
It appears the driver did not intentionally strike the protester, according to Ferguson spokesman Jeff Small, who said the woman is being “very, very cooperative” with police.
"Investigators say the woman was simply driving down West Florissant at nighttime, unaware someone was standing in the street, until it was too late to stop before hitting them," Small said in a statement Wednesday morning.
He said there were bullet holes in the woman’s car, but no one in the vehicle was injured.
Police arrived at the scene within a minute, Small said. No arrests were made, and the extent of the injuries to the protester who was struck is unknown because the man was taken from the scene in a private vehicle, Small said.
Two people who were shaken up as the crowd fled the gunfire were taken to a hospital by ambulance.

In our second blog on housing associations we look at why they are consistently cited as great places to work and what the future might hold for them.
by Brelda Baum
Housing associations (HAs) are perceived to be great places to work according to The Sunday Times Best Companies to Work For 2014 survey (not for profit results) which is dominated by HAs and social housing employers. This seems to demonstrate that, despite the availability of other more lucrative options, people still want to work in the housing sector, perhaps because HAs and social housing organisations are at the forefront of a very rapidly changing environment, often at the cutting edge of a lot of social issues, so that by working for them, people see themselves in a position to do some good and see evidence of it.

This week, throughout the UK, there will be a host of events in support of Carers Week 2014. For the first time, the UK-wide annual awareness campaign is launching the Carers Week Quest, a new initiative to encourage improved collaborative working in local communities to reach out to carers. It will also be the first time that the valuable role of #youngcarers is recognised, with the introduction of Young Carers Awareness Day on Friday. The theme for this year is ‘identifying carers’. It is hoped that this week of events can help carers access the support they need, when they need it. In support of #carersweek, Idox has decided to review the literature on young carers.

- Use the point of a spudger to disconnect the home button cable connector pushing it up away the home button before pushing the upper left corner away from the front of the panel.
- Use the spudger to peel the home button from the display and then carefully fix the spudger under the home button cable from the adhesive. Once the adhesive is removed, you can remove the home button cable.
Step 8: Reassembly
- Simply follow the previous instruction in reverse order to replace the screws using the same tools and screws.
- Be careful while doing so and your iPhone 6 Screen replacement will be done.
The process can be difficult doing on your own. So, you can visit the reputable store for iPhone 6 Screen replacement in Woodland Hills Mall and let the professional handle it.


As 2018 draws to a close, we’re reflecting back on some of our accomplishments for nature this past year. We could not have done it without you – our members, friends, followers and funders. With your support, we continue to be a force for nature in Ontario and there when nature needs us most.
With your help, we’re standing up against the Government of Ontario’s Bill 66. If passed, this legislation would trump critical environmental protections for land, water and wildlife across Ontario. Sign our letter to the Premier today.
We were back in federal court – represented by Ecojustice – with our partners the David Suzuki Foundation, Friends of the Earth Canada and the Wilderness Committee, fighting to protect our pollinators from Thiamethoxam, a deadly pesticide.
Our Youth Council hosted 9 Our Special Spaces events, planting 1,500 pollinator-friendly plants with the help of over 250 volunteers. Six of our Youth Council members were recognized nationally and internationally for their environmental leadership.
We raised more than $40,000 for our Protected Places Campaign this Giving Tuesday! These funds will help us fight to ensure Canada meets its target to protect at least 17% of lands and inland waters by 2020.
Our Protected Places Declaration has been signed by over 5,000 Ontarians and endorsed by 137 organizations.
Our citizen scientists submitted a total of 435,236 records of reptiles and amphibians to our Ontario Reptile and Amphibian Atlas. These submissions help to increase the collective knowledge base of reptiles and amphibians in Ontario, and help guide important conservation efforts.
We completed a 500 metre wheelchair-accessible boardwalk at our Petrel Point Nature Reserve. Improvements to the trail will enable a more inclusive outdoor experience for people of all physical abilities while protecting the property’s sensitive fen ecosystem.
Ontario Nature’s Dr. Julee Boan and four other scientists published a peer-reviewed research paper, From Climate to Caribou, outing some in the logging industry for their harmful misinformation campaign about at-risk boreal caribou.
We hosted a number of events on our nature reserves, helping educate and connect our members with nature across the province. Some of these events included identification training, guided hikes, stewardship tips, invasive species removal best practices and more.
We launched our long-term monitoring protocols for Ontario snakes. In total, 9 sites and 216 cover boards were set up to monitor snakes in the Norfolk region. We found 132 individuals and 2 species at risk snakes.
Finally, we celebrated 87 proud years of conservation work in Ontario! Please consider making a year-end gift this holiday season to support our work to protect wild species and wild spaces through 2019 and beyond.

The Lindbergh High School girls’ basketball team recently grabbed a confidence-building win with a 50-49 victory at home over Cor Jesu Academy.
“Personally, I think that this was a game that could turn our confidence around early in the season,” Lindbergh head coach Bill Thoele said of the Dec. 11 victory. “It was a very competitive and close game. I think that this was a huge win not only for our record, but a huge confidence builder.”
The Flyers (4-3, 1-0) were led by Brittany Casey with a 19-point scoring effort. The junior forward also pounded out 12 rebounds as well as two assists and one steal against the Chargers.
“Brittany’s been struggling a bit offensively and was having problems with her shot,” Thoele said. “Just for her confidence alone, this was a big game and I think that this game will get her going.”
Another Flyer who scored 19 points was senior guard Aimee Ubriaco, who also had five steals, five assists and four rebounds.
“We go only as far as Aimee takes us,” Thoele said. “We’re relying on her to score a bit more this season and she’s done a great job for us.”
Sophomore guard Alicia Ubriaco also scored in double figures with 10 points, four rebounds, three steals and one assist.
“Alicia had also been struggling with her outside shot,” Thoele said. “She had a couple of big shots late in the game to get things going for us.”
The Flyers were scheduled to be back in action at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday — after the Call went to press — against Hillsboro in the Seckman Holiday Tournament.
Hillsboro (1-5) has struggled early on in the season and the Hawks dropped a 54-34 decision to Seckman Dec. 13.
“I think that we match up well with them,” Thoele said. “If we do the things we’re capable of doing, we should advance to the next round.”


Producing Energy from Natural Geological Sources
Geothermal (or geoexchange) energy is produced by harnessing the Earth’s natural geological heat source and converting it into a source that can heat a domestic property.
The Earth is normally around 55°F (12.8°C) and this heat can be utilised by the use of ground source heat pumps.
Certain geological characteristics aid the production of geothermal power such as geysers or hot underground magma deposits.
Iceland takes advantage of the country’s unique geological make up to use geothermal power to great effect. Currently 17% of Iceland’s total electricity production is derived from geothermal energy.
There are three main components required to introduce a geothermal Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) installation into a domestic environment and they are detailed below.
- Ground loops
A ground loop is a length of pipe buried in the ground which contains a mixture of water and anti-freeze – this is pumped around the pipe to absorb the natural heat from the ground.
There are three main types of ground loops available and you should make a determination on their characteristics and site conditions to decide which would provide the best solution for your situation.
The three types of ground loop in a Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) system are; the borehole, straight horizontal and spiral horizontal. For obvious reasons you would require more land for a horizontal trench than a borehole and boreholes actually cost more to develop than horizontal trenches. For example, a spiral horizontal trench of 10m in length would provide approximately 1kW of heating for your home.
- Heat Pump system
The heat pump system would consist of an evaporator, a compressor and a condenser and is similar to those used in refrigeration units.
- Distribution system
This is the system that delivers the heat to under floor heating or radiators in the home. It is also possible to store hot water generated using a GSHP system.
Cost and Viability
It is important to consider whether you have the land available for underground piping and whether that land is suitable to dig trenches. If there is available space, one can usually purchase a standard 8kW system for between £6,500 and £9,500 (distribution system not included). The efficiency of this type of system is measured by the Coefficient of Performance (CoP) and this is used to measure the ratio of heat produced to the amount of electricity used to drive the compressor and the pump. For this system the typical CoP is between 2.5 and 4 – in other words, for each unit of energy used to drive the system you can expect to recover 2.5 to 4 units. Based on this CoP, a geothermal system would be cheap to run than an oil system or electric storage heaters.
If you wish to make the system even more environmentally friendly then you could even go as far as installing photovoltaic solar panels to produce the electricity to drive the system! Of course, if this is not a viable option you could obtain your electricity from a green energy supplier instead.
It is possible to reduce your heating demand substantially by making your home more energy efficient and by installing additional insulation such as loft insulation, cavity wall insulation and draught-proofing. If your home is not already fitted with double-glazing then having it installed would produce a dramatic increase in the energy efficiency of your home and a very significant reduction in your energy requirements and associated costs.
There are grants available if you wish to implement this form of renewable energy into your home. Please consult the grants section on our site for additional details.

Tina C. Home is where the heart is
Home Is where the heart is
“Imagine that after a long day of work or school, you get onto the bus without a home to go to.” A large amount of Calgary’s children have to survive without a place to live. About 40 % of adults without a residence of a home are employed but still can’t afford it. So many people are forced into not having a roof to live under. Whether someone forced them to endure that environment, or they always have. It’s amazing to see that even in such a rich country, so many people still don’t have a place to take shelter. I take this moment to cherish home and think about what it means to me. To me home doesn’t just mean a place with furniture in it. You find memories in a home. Good or bad, you will find them to remind you of your past. Home gives you a sense of security and privacy. It’s also a place where no one is judged. Maybe a little, but you always know it is out of love and friendliness. Home is a place where i can truly express myself. Whether through art or speaking with a loved one, you can always express yourself to someone or through something in a home. At home you always have a place to rest, whether frequent or not, a rest is something that is needed needed in everyone’s life, at home, you always have a shoulder to cry on. It doesn’t matter if it’s an inanimate object, person, animal or anything else, you will always be able to tell someone or something how you feel. You will always have a shoulder to cry on. (even if you don’t cry on their shoulder.) A home is a place to take shelter and spend a warm winter. Finally, I would like you to please remember this saying: The slumber of the workingman is pleasant, whether he eats little or much; but the full stomach of the rich man does not allow him to sleep.

Canada (University of British Columbia) UBC research could help astronauts eat well on future Mars missions
If space is the final frontier, it’s food that will get us there in good shape, and UBC researchers are making sure that our food will be up to the task.
Dr. John Frostad, an assistant professor in chemical and biological engineering who studies the science of food, leads a team that is creating new ways of encapsulating omega-3 fatty acids so that they can go the distance.
Omega-3 is essential to mental sharpness. Even a couple of days without omega-3 in our diets may dull our brains and have us feeling less than our best. However, our bodies cannot produce it naturally so we must find it in the foods we eat, such as fish, flaxseed, or often by taking supplements.
“For astronauts and others on space missions, the difficult part is ensuring that omega-3 stays fresh and viable in whatever form—capsules or liquid—it is stored in,” explains Dr. Frostad.
“The shelf life of most omega-3 capsules is around two years, but space missions can go for longer than that and they must be self-sufficient. You can’t do a grocery run every couple of months. Studies also show that expired omega-3 supplements can have carcinogenic properties, so the stockpiles that you do have should stay at their absolute best.”
Starches and nanocellulose crystals show early promise
There are currently no surefire ways of preserving omega-3s for longer than two years but the Frostad team thinks they have some pretty good contenders.
A current approach they are testing, in concert with ingredients manufacturer Ingredion, is to encapsulate the omega-3s in quinoa powder.
“Potentially, we could embed the essential fatty acids in quinoa starch to create something you could blend into a smoothie,” notes Cody Rector, a graduate student in the Frostad lab who is currently pursuing his master of science degree in food science.
Another contender is cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) – very tiny crystals derived from wood fibres with unusual properties that make them capable of stabilizing mixtures of oil and water.
“CNCs could one day be used as a naturally sourced additive in emulsions that contain omega-3’s or other essential fatty acids,” says Dr. Roxanne Fournier, a postdoctoral researcher in food science who studies the effects of spaceflight on biological systems and ways of improving food and nutrition for crewed spaceflight.
Creamy coffees in space
If the team succeeds, their work could influence how fats are packaged into foods for space missions.
Dr. Fournier, who in addition to her work at UBC is also working on projects funded by the Canadian Space Agency to improve health in space, explains: “Foods that astronauts bring into deep space often need to be rehydrated, and the resulting texture can be watery or mushy and not very nice.”
Once food manufacturers can effectively package fat using the techniques the Frostad team is developing, then fats can be added easily to foods to make creamy-tasting coffees and smoothies, for example.
“Food fatigue can be an issue for astronauts eating uniform textures day in, day out,” says Dr. Frostad. “Properly encapsulating omega-3s will not only prevent malnutrition, it can also make future space diets more tolerable and, well, nicer to eat.”
Although NASA’s touted crewed Mars mission is the original impetus for the research, Dr. Frostad and team also sees potential applications right here on Earth.
“Increased shelf life has clear advantages for consumers who can safely store food longer as well as grocery stores that can stock products longer,” says Dr. Frostad. “The current war in Ukraine has really shaken supply chains for many items, so products with longer shelf lives could help lessen the negative impacts of such events in the future.”
