NEW YORK — Your intrepid team of Blast reporters took to the streets of Manhattan with enthusiasm last night, ready to kick off what’s sure to be a fast-paced week of consuming music. Predictably, venues seemed to be working out first night kinks; nearly everything we saw was running about an hour behind, which resulted in some happy accidents and new discoveries. After all, that’s what CMJ’s all about, right? What follows is a recap of some of our faves.
Francis and the Lights: Our first stop was the MTV party at the Studio at Webster Hall, where buzz band Francis and the Lights entertained a packed crowd. The group’s stage lineup rotates, but last night singer Francis Starlite was supported by two backing musicians, who were cast into anonymity not just by their Ray Bans, but also by Starlite’s showmanship. Clad in a black Snuggie/cape-like clothing item for the first part of the set, he occasionally broke into spastic dancing and had brief, intense staring contests with members of the audience. The band’s recipe of subdued synthesizers blended with a dash of funk, soul and reggae is not entire dissimilar from fellow Wesleyan alums (and touring mates) MGMT. How long before Wesleyan-gaze becomes a genre?
A Million Years: A Million Years commanded the stage at Arlene’s Grocery with that typical Brooklyn guitar-driven, melodic indie rock we love so much. Singer Keith Madden’s voice is wide-ranging and whispers of Coldplay’s Chris Martin, while Nick Werber is extraordinary on lead guitar. Last night’s show featured a heavier, more rock version of Phoenix (with whom A Million Years has shared a stage in the past). Drum machines, synthesizers and electronic foot pedals add depth and interest to the band’s sound. A Million Years’ album “Mischievous Maker” was released in June and was produced by Shannon Ferguson of Longwave.
Freedom or Death: We ended the night at Fontana’s, which was playing host to an all-Canadian showcase. In their New York debut, Toronto’s Freedom or Death — which the Wall Street Journal named as a “must-see” act at the festival — played moody, melodic pop that was alternately reminiscent of Rusted Root and The Postal Service (seriously). Officially a duo, they performed as a quartet last night, and extra points for singer Sway’s passionate beating of a cowbell (!) during one song as he strutted across the tiny stage. Unfortunately, technical difficulties caused Freedom or Death’s brief-to-begin-with set to descend into awkwardness, culminating in a recruitment of audience members to come on stage and tell jokes to kill time. But songs like set-closer “This Crowded Room” clearly show that the act has promise.
Gobble Gobble: In terms of a weirdness factor, it’ll be hard to top Gobble Gobble, from Edmonton, Alberta, whose set bordered on performance art. A mix of house music, a psychedelic version of Stomp, and what can only be described as a demented children’s show, the group turned Fontana’s into a mini-rave for 30 minutes. The elaborate stage setup — which actually extended out from the stage into the crowd — featured a rotation of noisemakers, shovels, strings of lights and other props. It was like a musical acid trip, or Passion Pit on crack. It’s clear the band members, who bounded around the club with the sweaty exuberance (and masks) of Peter Pan’s Lost Boys, are having fun with what they’re doing. The audience appeared to share in their joy, although I’m sure everyone left wondering what exactly it was they just witnessed.

JoAnn C. Costigan, age 79 of Litchfield, MN died on Wednesday December 26, 2018 at Meeker Manor in Litchfield. A memorial service will be held at 10:30 AM on Saturday, January 12, 2019 at First Lutheran Church in Litchfield. Visitation will be held from 5:00 - 7:30 PM on Friday, January 11, at the Johnson-Hagglund Funeral Home and will continue one hour prior to the service on Saturday. Memorials may be given to the Litchfield High School Library or First Lutheran Church in Litchfield.
JoAnn Carrie (Steffensen) Costigan was born September 15, 1939 on a farm near Joice, Iowa. She was the daughter of Arthur and Zilpha (Oleson) Steffensen. Growing up on the farm, the last of 11 children, JoAnn attended country school until the middle of 3rd grade. JoAnn's father, Arthur died suddenly at the age of 42 when JoAnn was just 10 years old. A few years later Zilpha moved to the small town of Buffalo Center Iowa, just one block from the Costigan household, half a block if you took the alley.
JoAnn graduated in 1957 from the Buffalo Center, Iowa High School. She worked as assistant to the superintendent for two years after graduating. In August of 1959 JoAnn married Thomas Allan Costigan. JoAnn and Tom lived in Mankato while Tom finished his college education and had his first job as a teacher in Mapleton MN. JoAnn worked at Mankato State College, now Minnesota State University, as head of the receiving and duplicating department, during this time.
JoAnn and Tom moved to Litchfield when their first child, Terri, was one year old. They raised 3 children, creatively named Terri, Todd and Tim. JoAnn was a stay at home mom when the children were young and was the exceptional mom. She served as an “adopted mom” to many! Holidays were lovely, her frosted Christmas cookies and brownies were loved by all. Her smile lit up a room. She was kind and service minded, serving individuals and organizations passionately.
JoAnn was involved in many community activities throughout the years particularly in the church. She was a charter member of the Litchfield Study Club, board member at the Litchfield Public Library, and was very active at First Lutheran Church, morning circle, WELCA, Serving group, Caring Visitors and BREW. She often spoke of the very interesting discussions and wonderful women that attended the BREW group. She was also a proud Lioness.
JoAnn went back to work when her youngest son, Tim, entered the first grade. She was the media assistant, doing double duty as the nurse's aide at the Litchfield High School for nearly 30 years from 1976 to 2005 when she retired. Everyone at the high school knew her as Mrs. C. She loved the job and all of the kids she would get to know and support over the years. JoAnn enjoyed reading, attending plays and concerts of all kinds and attending many events to watch and support her children and grandchildren. She enjoyed traveling over the years to the Bahamas, Hawaii, Rome and many trips to Germany to visit Todd, Annette and Regina.
JoAnn is survived by her husband Tom Costigan; 3 children and their spouses, Terri Draxten (Fusi Suleimana), Todd Costigan (Annette Berger), and Tim Costigan (Iwona); 4 grandchildren, Karissa Chevallier (Christopher), Ian Draxten (Helena Most), Brett Boldt and Regina Costigan; and one great grandchild Sienna Chevallier. Also siblings Betty Mitchell, Jeanette Ennen, Marvin Steffensen, sisters and brother in law, Clarine, Delores and Susan Steffensen, Mick and Lois Costigan, Christina Costigan, Mary Steen, Dixie Costigan, and many nieces, nephews and cousins. Preceded in death by her mother and father, Arthur and Zilpha Steffensen, brothers Devere, Cecil, Garth, Clyde and Don Steffensen, and sisters, Elaine Yates and Mae Anderson and numerous beloved brothers and sisters in law.

How We Conduct Vetting on Real Estate Investment
By Tommy Leung
Founder & CEO, MinnowCfunding LLC
At MinnowCfunding, we care about our investor expectation and protection. Our team of real estate experts will ensure the vetting of the project and the real estate enterprise/entrepreneur is complete and comprehensive. We have assembled a team of real estate veterans and advisors with over 50 years of collective experience underwriting and managing residential and commercial real estate. This team will adopt a strict standard and procedure in vetting the real estate investment opportunities that look to raise capital on the platform. In this regard, I want to outline the approach and methodology that this team will apply in for major steps--Screening, Due Diligence, Fact Checking and Monitoring.Step 1. Screening
Through a vigorous interview process, the team will evaluate the character and experience of the managing sponsor and his management team. The team will consider if the sponsor has a solid reputation, track record, the requisite skill and knowledge to optimally manage the investment in a trustworthy and professional manner. By Regulation Crowdfunding, we will not allow any "bad actor" to gain access to the platform for any crowdfunding offering. At the same time, we will gather the preliminary information to check if the subject project is a viable investment based on its location, cost and profit.Step 2 Due Diligence
The team will obtain basic diligence items in order to perform the crucial investment analysis to determine if the investment is sound. This typically includes an investment overview, business plan, proposed organizational and entity structure, industry and banking references, credit and criminal background checks, financial statement, tax returns and more.
Using the information gathered, the team will conduct financial analysis, market analysis and marketability analysis to evaluate the risk and return of the project.Step 3 Fact Checking
To validate the information and data provided by the sponsor, the team will conduct site visit if possible, cross check with local real estate agents and professionals, city record check, title report check and other necessary third party check.
Following the completion of all above three steps, if MinnowCfunding determines the proposed investment and project is valid, MinnowCfunding will enter into Crowdfunding Agreement with the sponsor and file the required Form C with SEC. MinnowCfunding will then list the investment information on its platform with the input from the sponsor.Step 4 Monitoring
Following the closing of the investment offering, MinnowCfunding will periodically contact and visit the sponsor and subject property for an update. MinnowCfunding will ensure the sponsor will file annual financial report and report any material event such as company ownership change, disposition and bankruptcy.Summary
While MinnowCfunding can never guarantee that the objectives of any particular real estate investment can be realized, a comprehensive approach and due diligence of an investment’s viability and feasibility will be implemented. At MinnowCfunding, we are building relationships with active, reputable, and disciplined operators so that we can provide quality deal flow to our investors. As with all investments, investors should evaluate each individual real estate opportunity to see which best fits his or her investment strategy. Real estate investments do carry risks and do not guarantee a return of any sort.

A sound immune system is the pillar of a healthy body, not just for humans but our dogs as well.
You may have heard about how vital immunity is; there are tons of products available in the market that claim to boost your immunity and improve overall health.
But many of us may still be unaware of what the immune system is and what are its functions?
The immune system is the body’s safeguard mechanism that provides resistance to harmful bacteria and infections.
As humans, our pups are also exposed to dangerous bacteria, and if their system doesn’t function properly, it may increase the risk for various diseases such as diabetes, osteoarthritis, heart and liver illnesses, etc.
Hence it is imperative to maintain your pup’s immune system and give it a boost and what can be better than using natural techniques.
Here are seven such methods to help you boost your pup’s immunity:
1. Provide Your Dog a Healthy Diet
A diet that is rich in essential nutrients is imperative for a functioning immune system. Probiotics, vitamins, and fiber are excellent immunity boosters so make sure you add these to your diet.
Yogurt is one such substance that contains bacteria which can strengthen your dog’s digestive system while preventing various illnesses.
Foods such as blueberry, spinach, kale, red beans, and pinto beans contain antioxidants that support immune function and prevent the damage caused by free radicals.
However, I would suggest consulting your vet regarding your dog’s diet as it depends on the breed; the dietary requirements of large-breed dogs will differ from those of the smaller ones, so make sure your pooch gets the necessary nourishment.
2. Fitness is Crucial
Dogs are one of the most active creatures and require exercise daily; the need varies according to breed, age, and size.
If your dog doesn’t expend a particular amount of energy, it can cause obesity which lowers immunity and the overall quality of life hence fitness is crucial for optimum health.
Exercise also helps reduce stress, increases blood circulation, and decreases inflammation.
I will iterate the same fact here; make sure you do discuss your pup’s workout regime with the veterinarian.
Incorporate fun activities and games, so it doesn’t get boring for you or your pooch.
3. Prevent Stress
Like their humans, our pups can also feel overwhelmed and stressed due to particular situations.
Factors such as lack of physical activity, isolation or separation anxiety, an inconsistent routine can contribute to your dog’s anxiety.
When your dog is stressed his body will respond by producing cortisol hormones, and these can weaken the immune system when anxiety becomes a chronic issue.
Make sure your dog gets sufficient social interaction with the family, other dogs in the neighborhood and gets the exercise he requires.
If signs of stress persist, contact an animal behaviorist or the veterinarian to help your pup cope with the situation.
4. Add Supplements to his Diet
If you feel your dog doesn’t get the nourishment he needs, you may add a few supplements to his diet to make up for the deficiencies.
But remember that too much supplementation can cause more damage than benefit as some ingredients hinder the absorption of each other.
You can choose probiotic supplements as they support intestinal health and promote a healthy gut thereby boosting immunity.
Another excellent option is fish oil as it is rich in omega three fatty acids that help counter inflammation.
5. Let Your Pup Doze Off
Sleep has a significant impact on your pup’s health and may often get neglected. Lack of sleep can contribute to your dog’s stress and affect overall health.
Remember that like exercise, your dog’s sleep requirements also vary according to the breed and age. Dogs that burn higher energy need longer nap times to recharge their bodies.
You can help your dog doze off by constructing a proper routine and providing an environment that encourages sleep.
6. Keep Your Pooch Hydrated
Water is an essential nutrient for dogs as well so make sure your pup always has access to clean water.
Don’t provide your pup water directly from the tap as it may contain harmful impurities; try giving filtered water that is free of contaminants.
As a general rule, your dog’s daily intake should be equal to one-ounce water for every pound of body weight. It will aid in transporting nutrients to the cell and flush out toxins from the body.
7. Maintain Hygiene
Flea and tick infestation and others of the sort compromise your dog’s immune health. Ensure that your pup stays clean and free of germs and bacteria. Give your pooch regular baths, and clean his bedding toys, food and water bowls to maintain hygiene.

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data A launcher fires a ball that weighs 30kg straight up to a height of 300m. What is the maximum range of the ball could be fired at? 2. Relevant equations V^2 = V^2-2(a)(d) R = ( V02 Sin2θ ) / g 3. The attempt at a solution To find the maximum range i know that it has to be fired at a 45° angle. It is in our energy and momentum etc. unit, practice so im guessing equations relevant to that is what i must use. I used this equation to find the Velocity when fired straight up. Which i got 76.68 m/s. Which if i drew a triangle to show the projectory, would be my height. I then used 76.68SIN(45°) to get 54.22 m/s. Which is my x & y velocity. Then i used the range formula to get 300 m. Is anything wrong with my work, shouldnt it be a different answer than 300m.

Chinese design on display in NY
Organizers of the first China & US Architecture and Space Arts Cultural Exchange Week (from left): Zhong Zhenying, Jiang Lu, Zeng Qingbo, Hu Zhongwei and Xie Bin in New York on Monday.
Five Chinese amateur curators successfully organized and pulled off China & US Architecture and Space Arts Cultural Exchange Week in New York City on Sept 23-29.
The event, whose goal was to introduce contemporary Chinese architecture and design to the West, featured a three-day exhibit on Wall Street displaying more than 50 architectural designs, models and artwork from designers worldwide.
Jiang Lu, director of SouFun, a real estate network platform with more than 8,000 employees and operations in 106 cities and regions in China, proposed the idea of an overseas architecture exhibition in March of 2013 and said their goals had been achieved.
"We had many famous Eastern and Western architects and designers from other fields join the exhibition," said Jiang. "Also, master interior designer Tony Chi acted as honorary chairman."
Jiang said that in the early stages of planning, many of the famous architects didn't show much interest in cooperating.
"They didn't want to show their artwork at the exhibition because I was not a professional curator, I had no curatorial experience and was not famous enough," Jiang said.
Such obstacles did not stop Jiang's passion and dream. She gathered four other designers - Zhong Zhenying, Hu Zhongwei, Xie Bin, and Zeng Qingbo - who shared her vision and agreed to work on the exhibition.
The four designers contributed some of their own art work for the show and encouraged their friends to join in as well.
"The chance to present your artwork in the heart of the world - New York City - is invaluable," Hu said. "This is an opportunity designers should jump at."
Zeng thought presenting his own artwork in New York was a way to develop.
"The architecture industry is quite different from East to West. For me, to hear the critics from the West is crucial," said Zeng.
While developing the exhibit, the team pitched their idea to many famous designers, including: Tony Chi, founder and president of TonyChi and associates, Tino Kwan, founder and president of Tino Kwan Lighting Consultants, and others.
Their "snowball" strategy worked. Chi agreed to attended the exhibition and act as honorary chairman a month before launch.
"As I was not familiar nor had any previous contact with the organization, their mission and objective captured my attention, which was a commitment to provide a bridge of design and architecture between China and the US," he explained.
"Also, many colleagues with whom I have shared many years in the industry were participating in the event, which further caught my interest and propelled my decision to participate," he added.
Joachim Pissarro, an adjunct curator at the Museum of Modern Art, attended the exhibition's opening on Sept 27 and gave favorable comments. "I am very impressed about the quality and standard of the exhibition," said Pissarro. "This is a good platform. I hope more exhibitions like this happen in the future."
Chi also offered positive feedback. "The exhibition was well-balanced, presenting a nice equilibrium between fine art and commercial art," he said.
Jiang said many Western critics and architects tend to think of Chinese architects as being not the most creative. "That may have been true in the past, but we want to show the world that Chinese architects are making progress," she said.
Xie said this was one reason why the team didn't hire professional Western curators.
"Truth is the first role," he said. "We wanted to present the real Chinese artwork without polish. We wanted to have real interaction between Chinese architecture and Western architecture."
Chi said Chinese architects possess a distinct culture, which can be enhanced through their growing contact with other architects in different cultures.
"This can lead to new inspiration and areas of creativity and broadening of the design potential of China which may not have been explored in the past," he said.
Pissarro said he especially enjoyed the exchange. "There is no good or bad when talking about art," said Pissarro. "An exhibition like this helps people see what has been done to a great level in China."
Zhong said all the hard work paid off when the team got comments from Western architects and designers, regardless of whether they were positive or negative.
"At the very beginning, organizing the exhibition was only something interesting," he said. "Later on, driven by passion, it became our dream."
The team is considering making the exhibition an annual event, an idea that gets Chi's full support.
"The event concept is very intriguing and this was a promising start," Chi said. "This has such potential to grow and become a tradition."

As a 32-year Army veteran and recipient of 35 medals, including the Defense Superior Service Medal, Legion of Merit, and two Bronze Stars, Randolph Rosin is familiar with hard work and dedication.
Rosin’s background in strategic communication and information power helped him serve as the Senior Defense Official in Yemen, coordinate Department of Defense activities against Al-Qaida, and plan the information operations campaign that helped accelerate the downfall of the Taliban and Saddam Hussein regimes in 2001 and 2003.
After retiring from the military, he received an offer from the National Intelligence University (NIU) to teach courses on cyber threat intelligence and information warfare and has been teaching there for two years. This was one of the reasons that led Rosin to pursue his PhD in Communication at American University School of Communication (AU SOC).
The PhD program at SOC discusses how technology plays into communication, and his background in psychological operations, information warfare, and communication directly relate to what he is learning. He has also joined the Internet Governance Lab and has worked alongside Professor Laura DeNardis.
His dissertation topic is the current concern about disinformation and the influence of other nations on the U.S. public sphere, public opinion, and elections. There has already been a lot of the research done on the influence of the presidential election between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, but he wants to take that research further.
Most of the research that has been done has used social media to study the volume of disinformation that was directed at specific swing districts. Many institutes looked at Twitter feeds and saw that there was a surge of anti-Clinton and pro-Trump content in certain swing districts. They concluded that there was a correlation between the volume of content and how those districts voted; however, Rosin found a gap in their research. No one has gone the last mile to survey and interview people to understand the degree to which the social media content influenced their decision – and he wants to do just that.
“As a former operator in the business I want to ask the big question: what was the measure of effectiveness? I want to see if there is a direct correlation between the behavior that is observed of the target audience and the material that was released,” said Rosin about his research.
To continue his research, he wants to go to a swing district where the previous studies stopped and interview people to make an inference about the degree to which the targeted messaging actually influenced the way people voted.


Man City Boss Pep Guardiola Reacts To Sacking Of Crystal Palace Manager Patrick Vieira (SEE WHAT HE SAID)
Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola has reacted to the sacking of Patrick Vieira as the manager of Crystal Palace.
The Frenchman was ruthlessly sacked on Friday ahead of Palace’s Premier League clash against his former club, Arsenal.
His sacking followed a 12-game winless run by the club who are now battling relegation following Wednesday’s 1-0 defeat at arch-rivals Brighton.
However, Manchester City gaffer Guardiola is unsure whether or not the Frenchman’s dismissal will trigger an immediate improvement in the Eagles’ form.
“I’m so sorry for Patrick Viera, I don’t know the reason why but new opportunities wait around the corner,” said the City manager. “(But) I don’t even think about how that affects their game against Arsenal.”

Cambridge Researchers Unveil Breakthrough AI ‘Chemical Reactome’ Accelerating Drug Development
Researchers at the University of Cambridge may have found a way to significantly improve and speed up drug development. They have created an artificial intelligence platform that can predict how different chemicals will interact with each other.
This could be a game-changer. Traditionally, chemists have had to rely on slow trial-and-error experiments and complex simulations to try to figure these things out. As Dr. Alpha Lee, the leader of the Cambridge research team, put it: “Our new approach helps uncover the hidden relationships between chemicals that the old methods were missing.”
The system, which they are calling a “chemical reactome,” has been trained on a huge dataset of 39,000 relevant chemical reactions, allowing it to spot patterns that humans would likely overlook. The data it produces is faster and more reliable than what chemists have had to work with before.
The platform also includes a machine learning technique that gives chemists more precise control in modifying molecules for drug design. Dr. Emma King-Smith explained that this will allow “better screening” of new compounds by letting chemists fine-tune molecules instead of having to build them from scratch every time.
The AI model can predict exactly where reactions will occur in a molecule and how that changes under different conditions. This helps them find better ways to adjust the core structure of molecules—something that has been very difficult to do. As Dr. King-Smith summarized: this data-driven approach may be the key to overcoming limitations in drug development chemistry.
The researchers have already tested this out on real drug-like molecules with promising results. It seems this automated, AI-enhanced platform could truly transform how new medicines are discovered and designed. The future looks brighter thanks to this innovative work coming out of Cambridge.

Kenya and Uganda have been pooled in Group B of the Cecafa U17 Championship following a draw that was conducted in Arusha, Tanzania.
The two leading teams in the U17 qualifiers – that will be staged in Rwanda – will qualify to represent the zone in the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) U17 tournament. The junior Afcon tournament will be held in Morocco in 2021.
Ethiopia are the other opponents in a group that is expected to be the toughest especially taking into account the recent rivalry between Kenya and the Uganda Cubs.
Tanzania have been drawn alongside Sudan and Djibouti in Group C whereas Rwanda, Eritrea, and South Sudan are in Group A.
The championship has been scheduled to take place between December 13 to December 28 in Rwanda where the Cecafa Kagame Club Cup was held in 2019.
The top team in each group and the best runners-up will qualify for the semi-finals.
Meanwhile, Cecafa also conducted the draw for the U20 competition that will be held in Tanzania.
Kenya have avoided Uganda in the group stage as they landed in a pool that has northern neighbours Ethiopia and Sudan and this is the only group with three participants.
Tanzania, Rwanda, Somalia, Djibouti are in Group A whereas Group B is expected to be a rather smooth-sailing journey for Uganda given that they have been pooled alongside Burundi, Eritrea, and South Sudan.
The three top teams in Group A and B will enter the quarter-finals where they will be joined by the two top teams from Group C. The winner of the U20 competition will seal a place in the U20 Afcon tournament set to be held in Mauritania in 2021.
The tournament has been scheduled to be played from November 22 to December 6 before the focus will shift to the U17 competition.
No country has so far confirmed to participate nor pulled out of the tournament as the focus is now in the upcoming Afcon double-headers set for November.

North Carolina Rule Doesn’t Allow For Fallen Firefighter Memorial
DOT policy doesn’t allow bridges, roads to be named after fallen firefighters.
Published Monday, March 12, 2012
ASHEVILLE, NC (FOX Carolina) - North Carolina's Department of Transportation policy doesn't allow for firefighters or emergency responders who die on the job to have state-owned roads or bridges named after them. This is different from law enforcement officers dying in the line of duty, who can have bridges and roads named after them. In this case, Asheville wanted to rename the bridge on Interstate 240 that goes over the French Broad River in Bowen's honor. Bellamy says, "Jeff was going to be remembered on a bridge he traveled every day to work, and one that he saved lives on."

In the late 80s and early 90s, Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, and Emmylou Harris recorded two albums together: “Trio” in 1987 and “Trio II” in 1999. These two albums, along with a third that includes unreleased recordings and alternate takes from those years, were remastered and released in September 2016 under the name “The Complete Trio Collection,” which was also Emmylou Harris’s production.
Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, and Emmylou Harris have three unmatched achievements in the music industry, selling more than 200 million records among them, so it is not surprising that when they recorded those two albums, they were able to sell more than five million copies. and take home three Grammys.
Let’s not forget that this project was conceived in 1970 to start the recording of “Trio,” but owing to various reasons, it did not come to fruition until the end of the 1980s. Two Grammy Awards were given to “Trio,” which topped the sales charts for five weeks in a row. One million copies of their second album, “Trio II,” which features covers of the Carter Family’s “Lover’s Return” and Neil Young’s “After The Gold Rush,” were sold, and the record won a Grammy that year.
Watch Harris, Parton, and Ronstadt perform on the Late Show with David Letterman in 1999 in the video below:

Thirty years ago, when I was starting my real estate career, I met Bill Ross and his wife Hope and had the privilege of helping them sell their home in Lancaster County. Since that time, Bill has become a managing partner of Ross Insurance Agency and spurred its growth to one of the premier, independent insurance agencies in Lancaster County.
Over the past month, we have witnessed the devastating damage caused by floodwaters in the state of Texas. Many of the images we have seen are of quaint residential neighborhoods that were destroyed by the torrential rain dumped on this area by Hurricane Harvey. What is even more astounding is that most of these flooded areas are not in a flood zone as defined by the government. Homeowners are left wondering, “Could this happen to me?”
Bill recently wrote an article that appeared on the Lancaster County Association of REALTORS® blog, “Closing Comments”, that I thought was both interesting and informative. Hope it provides you with valuable insight and helps you determine whether private flood insurance is something you should consider.
A Flood of Change
“I’ve lived here for 30 years, and I’ve never seen flooding like this.”
That’s a common lament of flood victims, especially those who thought that they lived outside the flood zone of a nearby creek, river or ocean and who have realized that their homeowner’s policy, condo unit-owner’s policy, renter’s policy or even business policy does not cover the damage caused by a flood.
As recent floods are showing, you don’t have to live in a flood zone to have flood damage. In fact, ever year, a significant percentage of flood damage happens to property that is NOT in a flood zone. Most of these property owners do not carry flood insurance, so they are left to fend for themselves.
Traditionally, flood insurance was sold only through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) which was backed by the Federal Government (FEMA). Flood zones were mapped out, and rates were standardized, depending on which “flood zone” your property happened to be in.
Well, the times they are a-changin’. FEMA recently redrew the flood zone maps, so many property owners who were not in a flood zone have suddenly discovered they ARE NOW in one. And at roughly the same time, since the passage of the Biggert-Waters Act in 2012, which was designed to reflect the true risk of living in flood-prone areas, FEMA is phasing out subsidies for higher risk properties, so many flood insurance policyholders are seeing their premiums increase significantly year after year.
Now, to the rescue comes a new product called “Private Flood Insurance”, which gives many property owners a choice. You may now be eligible to purchase flood insurance through a private insurance company at a lower rate . . . often a MUCH lower rate.
This private coverage is typically written by what are known as Surplus Lines Insurance Companies, which means they are not licensed by the PA Insurance Department and are not covered by the PA Property and Casualty Guaranty Association, but this has nothing to do with the financial strength and stability of the carrier. In fact, the largest surplus lines carrier selling flood insurance in Pennsylvania is Lloyd’s of London, according to a PA Insurance Department news release.
Ronald Ruman, director of communications at the PA Insurance Department, recently said that Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner Teresa Miller asked her staff to look at ways to help homeowners find affordable coverage and found that in many cases, comparable flood insurance coverage was being offered through the private market at much lower rates than those offered through NFIP.
Bottom line, if you own property, whether it’s your home, your business or an investment, you should at least be considering flood insurance. And the good news is, you may no longer be locked into dealing with the government program or the government rates.
If you would like to obtain additional information on private flood insurance, I’ve provided Bill’s contact email below.

Thanks for the insight, Bill.

text: In recent years, wire-arc directed energy deposition (waDED), which is also commonly known as wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), has emerged as a promising new fabrication technique for magnesium alloys. The major reason for this is the possibility of producing parts with a complex geometry as well as a fine-grained microstructure. While the process has been shown to be applicable for Mg-Al-Zn alloys, there is still a lack of knowledge in terms of the influence of the WAAM process on the age-hardening response. Consequently, this study deals with the aging response of a WAAM AZ91 alloy. In order to fully understand the mechanisms during aging, first, the as-built condition was analyzed by means of high-energy X-ray diffraction (HEXRD) and scanning electron microscopy. These investigations revealed a fine-grained, equiaxed microstructure with adjacent areas of alternating Al content. Subsequently, the difference between single- and double-step aging as well as conventional and direct aging was studied on the as-built WAAM AZ91 alloy for the first time. The aging response during the various heat treatments was monitored via in situ HEXRD experiments. Corroborating electron microscopy and hardness studies were conducted. The results showed that the application of a double-step aging heat treatment at 325 °C with pre-aging at 250 °C slightly improves the mechanical properties when compared to the single-step heat treatment at 325 °C. However, the hardness decreases considerably after the pre-aging step. Thus, aging at lower temperatures is preferable within the investigated temperature range of 250-325 °C. Moreover, no significant difference between the conventionally aged and directly aged samples was found. Lastly, the specimens showed enhanced precipitation kinetics during aging as compared to cast samples. This could be attributed to a higher amount of nucleation sites and the particular temperature profile of the solution heat treatment.

Holland, Mich. - The Alma College volleyball team fell to No. 13 Hope College 3-0 (22-25, 19-25, 20-25) on Wednesday (Sept. 18) to open play in the MIAA. It is just Alma's second loss of the year; it previously lost to No. 1 Calvin.
Senior Katie Bush (Lowell, Mich. / Lowell) led the Scots (10-2, 0-1 MIAA) in kills with eight and hit percentage with .333. Sophomore Haley Novak (Midland, Mich. / Bullock Creek) had a team-high 26 assists and 16 digs. Freshman Sara Majerle (Rockford, Mich. / Rockford) put up seven kills and 14 digs.
Hope's (11-1, 1-0 MIAA) Katie Reitberg led all players with 15 kills on a .243 hit percentage. Vanessa Reynhout had 12 and hit .375.
How It Happened
- The Scots took an early 7-3 lead in the first set, forcing Hope to take a timeout. The Flying Dutch fought back into the set and tied the score at 11. The two teams battled for the lead until Hope scored three straight points to make it 22-19. It maintained its three-point lead to eventually take the set 25-22.
- Alma started slowly in the second set, falling behind 6-2 before calling a timeout. Hope remained in control, extending its lead to as many as nine at 18-9. Alma climbed back to within four with a 7-2 run, but Hope was too close to the finish and scored three of the next four points to win the set.
- The third set was close throughout - neither team had more than a three-point lead until the end of the game. Alma led 8-5 before Hope found some momentum with an 8-2 run to go up 13-10. It was back-and-forth from there; when one team scored, the other would tie. This went on for nine straight points. With each team six points away from a third-set win, Hope scored three straight points to go up 22-19. Junior Georgia Miller (Georgetown, Ky. / Scott County) tried to stop the bleeding with a kill, but the Flying Dutch had two more kills and a gifted point from Alma to secure the win.
- Alma hit .119 as a team. Hope hit. 215.
- The Flying Dutch made 11 errors in the first set. Alma had the same number in the second set, taking away from a team-high 13 kills.
- Hope posted 20 kills in the third game and hit .395. Alma did little to help the Flying Dutch with two errors.
- Alma struggled to keep the ball in play, hitting .051 and .044 in the first two sets.
- Half of Katie Bush's kills came in the first set
- Sara Majerle had six of her seven kills in the second set.
- Katie Bush hits .357 per game, third best in the MIAA. She also blocks 1.05 attacks per set, second in the conference.
- Majerle is second in the league in digs per set with 4.41.
- Haley Novak averages 8.68 assists per set, second in the MIAA.
Alma hosts Kalamazoo in its home opener on Saturday (Sept. 22) at 1:00 p.m.

San Francisco's Famous Cable Cars
It's hard to think of San Francisco without conjuring an image of a clanking cable car crawling its way up a steep city street. One of the city's most popular tourist attractions, cable cars are still used as a functioning part of the San Francisco transit system, if even on a small scale. Cable cars were the brainchild of Andrew Hallidie, who came to America in 1852 from Great Britain. One damp and cold day in 1869, Hallidie was watching a five-horse team pull a heavy street car up one of San Francisco's steep hills. One horse lost its footing on the slick pavement and the weight of the street car dragged the horse team down the hill, killing them all. Hallidie's father had earned a patent in Great Britain for manufacturing wire rope. Hallidie had applied the technology to gold mining after he arrived in California. Hallidie designed systems to haul rock ore in mining camps and quickly made the connection between the death of the street car horse teams and the power of metal cable.
By 1873, the first cable car began service with the Clay Street line. The cable cars were an immediate hit and eventually 600 cars were ferrying San Franciscans around 120 miles of city streets. The Great Quake of 1906 nearly destroyed the entire city and many lines were never rebuilt. Tourists can still hitch a ride with nearly 40 cars that travel on 10 miles of railway. Cable cars are individually created works that are maintained by skilled carpenters and repairman. San Francisco citizens have fought several battles to make sure cable cars weren't totally replaced with modern transportation. Visitors can board the cars at stops or jump on and hold onto a railing while the cars bump along up and down San Francisco's famous hills.
San Francisco's Treat
The present cable car system underwent a complete overhaul that took two years in the early 1980s. Now, the Powell-Hyde line runs from Powell and Market Streets to the Hyde Street Pier at Fisherman's Wharf. The Powell Mason line travels over Nob Hill to Bay Street and also stops at the Fisherman's Wharf. The California line starts at California Street and makes its way through the financial district and Chinatown to Van Ness Avenue. For a historic look at cable car history and an up-close look at how the cable systems actually work, a visit to the Cable Car Barn & Powerhouse is in order. The great steel wheels and cables that pull cable cars from underneath the street are in plain view at the 1201 Mason Street museum. The Cable Car Museum is open every day except for Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
Cable Car Fares
Fares are collected by cable car conductors or tickets can be bought at turn around spots. One way trips for adults and children cost $2. Three different passes are also available: one for $6; three days for $10 and seven day passes for $15. Cable cars run every day from 6 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Bestselling author James Lee Burke’s masterpiece is the story of a father and son separated by war, circumstance, and a race for the Holy Grail—a thrilling entry in the Holland family saga TheNew York Times Book Review has described as “saturated with the romance of the past while mournfully attuned to the unholy menace of the present.”
After a violent encounter that leaves four Mexican soldiers dead, Texas Ranger Hackberry Holland escapes the country in possession of a stolen artifact believed to be the mythic cup of Christ, earning the ire of a bloodthirsty Austrian arms dealer who places Hack’s son, Ishmael, squarely in the cross hairs of a plot to recapture his prize.
On the journey from revolutionary Mexico in 1918 to the saloons of San Antonio during the Hole in the Wall Gang’s reign, we meet three extraordinary women: the Danish immigrant who is Ishmael’s mother and Hackberry’s one true love; a brothel madam descended from the Crusader knight who brought the Shroud of Turin back from the Holy Land; and a onetime lover of the Sundance Kid, whose wiles rival those of Lady Macbeth. In her own way, each woman will aid Hack in his quest to reconcile with Ishmael, to vanquish their enemies, and to return the Grail to its rightful place.
About the Author
James Lee Burke is a New York Times bestselling author, two-time winner of the Edgar Award, and the recipient of the Guggenheim Fellowship for Creative Arts in Fiction. He’s authored thirty-nine novels and two short story collections. He lives in Missoula, Montana.
"The well-paced action features the usual men at play with fists and guns, but Burke also offers three strong women with pivotal roles, one of whom could be a match for any of the tough guys. Burke [has a] sure hand for crisp dialogue and a compelling story..." — Kirkus
"Two-time Edgar winner Burke sets Texas Ranger Hackberry Holland the task of protecting a precious artifact (is it the Holy Grail?) from a string of villains, including an Austrian arms dealer who sets his sights on Holland’s son Ishmael, who serves in the US Army; Burke does not disappoint." — Boston Globe
“Readers of best-selling Burke's novels about the Holland family (Wayfaring Stranger) will gravitate to this prequel featuring the well-known and notoriously cantankerous Hackberry Holland. The large cast features complex and compelling characters, and the action deftly builds to a roaring boil.” — Library Journal
“Stunning… Crisp dialogue highlights this tale of redemption and the bonds of family, and the breathtaking conclusion is one that readers won’t soon forget.” — Publishers Weekly (starred)
"Burke wins us over yet again with another fusillade of lyrical, deeply moving prose that makes us feel the beating hearts of all his characters, demon-wracked though they may be." — Booklist (starred)
“James Lee Burke’s finest literary work to date, cementing his reputation as one of America’s all-time masters.” — New York Journal of Books

When it rains, it pours for 26 rebel returnees in Negros Occidental.
This was after the former members of the New People’s Army who were given financial and livelihood assistance by the provincial government of Negros Occidental, yesterday again received P1.3 million in livelihood assistance from the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace Process.
Each returnee received P50,000 in livelihood assistance, Col. Oscar Lactao, 303rd Infantry Brigade commander, said.
Lactao, however, said that before they availed of the assistance, the returnees had to undergo social preparations from the Department of Social Welfare and Development, that included options on what livelihood projects they want to pursue.
The provincial government of Negros Occidental has so far distributed almost P700,000 in financial and livelihood assistance to 67 rebel returnees.
Governor Alfredo Marañon Jr. said he will include the families of returnees in the Negros Occidental Comprehensive Health Care Program, and also provide scholarships to deserving children of rebel returnees, some of whom are now enjoying it.
Among the 26 recipients of the P50,000 livelihood assistance from OPPAP was Eduardo Baynosa Sr., his daughter, Mary Janer, and son Eduardo Jr. and wife, Jonahmae Mahilum, all of whom had served the NPA in northern Negros for several years.
Rebel returnees Eldro Montargo, Romeo Olite and Richard Baylosis, in behalf of other returnees, thanked Marañon and the military for helping them return to mainstream society.
Olite, who surrendered to the military in 2009, said his child is among those who availed of the scholarship program of Marañon.
Montargo said his mother availed of the government free medical services in Sagay City.
They also issued an appeal to their former comrades to “spare them” from harm, citing the summary execution of a rebel returnee in Calatrava last year. They also enjoined their former colleagues still in the mountains and fighting against the government to re-think their situation.
“I hope the messages of the rebel returnees will reach those who are still fighting against the government, that we should unite in fighting the poverty, and not against each other,” Marañon said.
Lactao said he was told by the DSWD that OPPAP is also set to release livelihood assistance to the remaining 67 former rebels, through the strong representation of Marañon with Undersecretary Luisito Montalbo.
“Hopefully, this will help you start a new and peaceful life with your families,” Lactao told the 26 rebel returnees at the Provincial Capitol in Bacolod City, where Senior Supt. Milko Lirazan and representatives of the Provincial Social Welfare and Planning Development and Offices, respectively, and OPPAP, were present.
“Forty years of armed struggle have not solved any of our problems but have rather caused more problems and misery,” he said.*GPB

After the previous article on the PDC extension between the Toronto Blue Jays and the New Hampshire FisherCats there is more to tell about PDC extensions.
The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (gawd I hate that name), have extended the Player Development Contract with the Salt Lake Bees through 2018. The teams have been in a close relationship for fourteen years now.
The Pacific Coast League (AAA) affiliate joined the Angels organization in 2001. Back then the Angels were still called Anaheim Angels and were owned by the Disney Company. The Salt Lake Bees were named the Salt Lake Stingers in those days. In the years before 2001 the team was named Salt Lake Buzz. But due to a lawsuit filed by Georgia Tech, the team changed its name into Stingers. Georgia Tech’s mascot is named Buzz.
The team came to Salt Lake in 1994 when the Portland Beavers moved from Oregon to Utah.
The Salt Lake Bees play in Smith’s Ballpark. This ballpark has one of the most exciting backdrops in baseball.
Some notable players that played in Salt Lake City in their minor league days are, Mike Trout, Jered Weaver and Howie Kendrick.

The Monetary Policy Committee of the Apex bank voted on Tuesday to increase the benchmark interest rate by 100 basis point to 16.5 % , the highest since 2001 in a sustained push to control inflation and ease pressure on the Naira.
The Central Bank Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele, disclosed this while reading the communique of the last MPC meeting of the year on Tuesday, November 22 , 2022.
He said previous increase was beginning to yield results, adding that “there is need to keep tightening”.
Persecondnews gathered that the Committee also retained the Cash Reserve Ratio ( CRR ) at 32.5 percent and voted to retain the asymmetric corridor at +100 and -700 basis points around the MPR.
The liquidity ratio was also retained at 30 percent.
In October, Nigeria’s inflation rate hit a 16 year high of 21.09 percent amid skyrocketing cost of goods and services, despite the CBN bold measures.
Also in October, CBN announced the redesigning of all major Naira notes and will by December 2022 start circulating them as part of measures to control money supply.
On Monday, the Naira appreciated to #775 per dollar at parallel section of the foreign exchange market, gaining at #15 or 1.9 percent compared to #790 it traded last Friday.
At the investors and exporters window, the Naira appreciated against dollar, exchanging at #445.38.
Persecondnews reports that of the 11 members of the Committee meeting, 10 members voted to increase the MPR by 100 basis points while one member voted for a reduction.


CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The executive director of the West Virginia Association for Justice says the state cannot afford to spend money on the creation of an Intermediate Court of Appeals.
A bill (SB 277) pending in the Senate Judiciary Committee would establish an intermediate court in both the Northern and Southern Districts of West Virginia, but Beth White said doing that would be fiscally irresponsible.
“It’s going to cost $30-$40 million and we’re already $500 million in debt,” White told MetroNews. “It unnecessarily expands government when all of the independent data says we don’t need to do it.”
The bill is sponsored by Senators Craig Blair (R-Berkeley, 15) and Patricia Rucker (R-Jefferson, 16). It was discussed during WVAJ’s Mid-Winter Convention and Seminar Friday at Embassy Suites in Charleston.
The intermediate court would consist of six judges, with three judges in each district. Each judge would initially be appointed by the Governor, according to the legislation.
But White said that is unnecessary. She said the automatic right of appeal already exists in West Virginia and that appeals continue to decline in the state — from 3,569 in 1999 to 1,224 in 2016.
“Our appeals have declined by 65 percent — four times the national average. We don’t need it,” she said.
While larger states may need the intermediate court, White said West Virginia does not. The WVAJ said West Virginia is in line with other eight other small states that do not have an intermediate court. Those states include: Delaware, Maine, Montana, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming.
“Larger states have the intermediate courts, but they are dealing with 30 times the case load that you see in West Virginia. Small states, like West Virginia, don’t have them. Every state that does not have an intermediate court has a population of under 2 million people,” she said.
Civil cases, White said, only count for about 14 percent of the total case load for the state Supreme Court.
“More than half are workers comp, criminal, abuse and neglect,” she said. “You’re going to add an intermediate court for corporate special interest that is going to costs tens of millions of dollars for 14 percent of the case load? It doesn’t make sense.”
White said if the bill passes, millions of dollars would also be spent by the state Attorney General’s Office, public defender services and by state agencies that will have to handle appeals through the state Supreme Court.
According to the bill, the Intermediate Court of Appeals would be established on or before July 1, 2018, if passed and signed by Governor Jim Justice.

Also we can tell this by looking at the shorter term MA as its signally a flattening of direction. However the longer term MAs are still sloping upward
which suggest the trend is still going up.
From an perspective, we could also be in a subwave 4 formation so a B/O above the could be expected. Entries can be taken at the test of the TL, but more conservatively you could wait for a B/O of the upper then retest to go long.
Of course price may do the complete opposite and breakout to the bottom.

Cosmetic dentists prefer to use dental implants for their patients because of the benefits that these appliances can have. A dental implant is a small titanium rod that is put into the jaw bone, acting like a real tooth root. The titanium rod of dental implants actually bond with the jaw bone over the course of about three months. This ensures that the rod is completely secure and can hold a crown, or cap, on top of it once the procedure has been completed and healed.
The reason your dentist in Charlotte prefers dental implants is because they are a lot less invasive to your teeth than a bridge. A dental bridge uses surrounding teeth to anchor a crown on top of a missing tooth. Because of this, the surrounding teeth have to be filed down to fit the bridge. This is very invasive to teeth that might be in perfectly good condition. When your dentist in Charlotte uses a dental implant, they are simply adding the crown to the area that is missing the tooth. None of the surrounding teeth will be touched during the procedure and this can ultimately save you a lot of headache and money.
If you are missing a tooth and want to know what your options are for replacing it, be sure to visit cosmetic dentists to see about getting an implant put into your mouth. More and more people are opting for an implant because it is relatively noninvasive and does not destroy the structure of surrounding teeth like a dental bridge might. This is a wonderful option for anyone who is missing a few teeth and who does not want to compromise the rest of their teeth just to have a bridge put in. Be sure to speak with your dentist to learn more about this procedure.

Genesis Releases "Foxtrot"
Foxtrot is the fourth studio album by British rock band Genesis and the second from the band lineup which included Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford, Phil Collins, and Steve Hackett.
The album was recorded and released in 1972 as the band's career quickly gained momentum. Foxtrot was also Genesis' first album to enter the UK Top 20, reaching #12 and paving the way for a long and successful chart career for the band. Still, it failed to reach the US charts, as their contemporaries, Yes, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Jethro Tull, and to a lesser extent, Pink Floyd, were more popular at the time. It was not the first Genesis album to chart worldwide: Trespass had reached #1 in Belgium in 1971, shortly followed by Nursery Cryme's #4 placing in Italy. Foxtrot managed to better its predecessor's performance by attaining the #1 position in the Italian charts.
Both "Watcher of the Skies" and "Supper's Ready" rank among some of the band's most popular works, and became live favourites. "Watcher of the Skies" and "Get 'Em Out by Friday" appeared on 1973's Genesis Live, while the 23-minute-long "Supper's Ready" was omitted due to space considerations. Live versions of that track did appear on 1977's Seconds Out (with Phil Collins on vocals), as well as the 1998 box set Genesis Archive 1967-75.
"Can-Utility and the Coastliners" is based on the legend of King Canute, who supposedly ordered the seas to retreat to mock the sycophancy of his followers. An early, longer version of the song found its way into pre-album live sets; known as "Bye Bye Johnny", it featured an extended instrumental section in which the haunting Mellotron string sound dominated. However this particular version never made it to the recording stage.
"Horizons" starts with the central idea of Bach's Prelude of the first Cello Suite and then develops its own piece, baroque style. The song accomplishes the function of a prelude.
The title of the album may be a nod to the Mellotron Mark II used by Banks at the time, which included foxtrot as one of the preset rhythms in its tapeset. The 'fox on the rocks' (a phrase itself reminiscent of the works of Dr. Seuss) is mentioned in the lyrics of the "Willow Farm" section of "Supper's Ready", and is featured in the album artwork. This figure in a red dress with a fox's head became one of Gabriel's earliest stage costumes.
A digitally remastered version was released on CD in 1994 on Virgin Records in Europe and on Atlantic Records in the US and Canada. The remastered CD features lyrics to all of the songs in addition to the original album artwork.


Thurmond, who spent the bulk of his Hall-of-Fame career with the San Francisco/Golden State Warriors, played with the Cavaliers from 1975-77. He had been acquired from the Chicago Bulls on Thanksgiving Day 1975, a move done to shake up what had been a disappointing Cavaliers squad.
Thurmond’s presence and leadership proved to be a key component in helping the Cavs catch fire for the remainder of that season. The legendary “Miracle of Richfield” season commenced, with Cleveland reaching the playoffs for the first time in their six-year history.
During those playoffs, Thurmond was thrust into a starting role after starting center Jim Chones broke his foot just prior to the Eastern Conference Finals. Putting up an effort much like LeBron James did in 2015, Thurmond and the Cavaliers fell to the eventual champion Boston Celtics in six games.
“We had the best team in the league in the second half of that season,” Thurmond said just six weeks ago during an interview with Tom Reed of Cleveland.com. “We were denied our due, there’s no question about it. Just thinking about Chones’ injury almost makes you want to cry. I’m still trying to swallow that one.”
The following year, Thurmond’s career appeared to be over when he suffered a knee injury early in 1977. However, he took the court for one final game when he entered Game 2 of the first round of that season’s playoffs. His efforts temporarily staved off the Cavs’ elimination.
After retiring a few months later, Thurmond was honored on December 18, 1977, when the Cavaliers retired his number. He then went back to San Francisco to work for the Warriors, though he never forgot his time with the Cavs.
“I loved my time in Cleveland…I can still remember sitting in the locker room 20 minutes before a playoff game and hearing those fans stomping their feet. My late brother, Ben, used to bring a tape recorder to the Coliseum just to capture the noise.
“It was so loud in that old building that (coach) Bill Fitch had to hold the huddles on the court because nobody could hear him on the bench.”
James, who like Thurmond, is from Akron, took time to pay tribute to him:
Damn man!!! R.I.P Akron's own Nate Thurmond. Knowing u played in the same rec league as me growing up gave me hope of making it out! Thanks!
— LeBron James (@KingJames) July 16, 2016

We went through this recently..Ours is now 4.5 months old..
We have found that you always need a toy or bone near by..
They need to be chewing.
Also learned that they MUST go to Puppy Training class.
When ours nip,we say LEAVE IT in a deep serious voice.
When he stops biting you give him a treat.You must do it ALL the time..
Their teeth are like razor blades..
Also learned he must be walked often & he gets to go to the dog park every other day..Its exhausting..But they need to be exhausted!
Make sure to have that toy or bone near by to put in his mouth rather than your arm..
They think your their litter mate..
We can see a difference in him now that he’s approaching 5 months old..
We are also starting him in Obedience School..
He is going to be HUGE..He must be trained now or it will hell come winter..
Hope this helps..

Toyota had been aiming for a high February production plan to meet strong demand.
The automaker said parts such as semiconductors and wire harnesses are in short supply because of bottlenecks triggered by lockdowns in southeast Asia.
The automaker will reduce output again in November, but the impact will not be as painful as before and Toyota sees signs of recovery on the horizon.
Toyota could lose up to 480,000 units from January through March.
Unable to secure a number of parts, including wire harnesses from Vietnam and chips from Malaysia, Toyota said it would slash its vehicle output in September by 40 percent from previous plans.

Vehicle noise limits
There are limits to the amount of noise that vehicles can make on public roads. This applies to all types of vehicles.
In general, larger vehicles with bigger engines are able to make more noise.
Noise limits on tyres
There are noise limits on tyres and since November 2012 all new tyres are graded and labelled to show how noisy they are.
Modified exhaust systems
It’s illegal to modify the exhaust system to make a vehicle noisier after it has been ‘type approved’ (checked it meets environmental and safety standards).
The police can also take action if your vehicle’s silencer doesn’t work in the way it was designed or if you’re driving in a way that creates too much noise.
