CBS has confirmed what we’ve been expecting, yes, there will be After Dark for Celebrity Big Brother! This follows the longstanding news that the Live Feeds would accompany the new series and now makes our Big Brother experience complete for the upcoming season premiere.
Julie Chen reveals in the video below that we’ll be watching the Big Brother celebrities inside the house on Pop TV again like we do in the summer and BBAD will kick off on Wednesday, February 7th. That could mean we’ll get Feeds and BBAD starting on that very first night. Fantastic news. If you saw BBOTT then you know how fun that was to see things from the very start instead of nearly a week into the game like we do in the summer.
As for the Celebrity After Dark schedule, Julie also reveals we can watch every night until 3AM. We’ll have to wait and see if they move around the start times each day, but at least we know how late it’ll run. Speaking of days and times, don’t miss the full Big Brother Celebrity Schedule with details on every single episode of the full season.
— Orwell (@BBADOrwell) February 8, 2018
Ready to start watching? Me too! Don’t forget you’ll need All Access for your Big Brother Feeds with around the clock coverage, but if you can’t get that then be sure to set up your DVR for BBAD on Pop TV starting Feb 7th. Want more? Join us on Facebook, Twitter, and get our Email Updates too!

Laser Scanning Makes Quick Work of Abatement System Installation at Glass Packaging Plant
3D technology helps Borton-Lawson tackle long-distance plant retrofit with complete confidence.
Squeezing a new abatement system into an existing glass container manufacturing plant is no small task for any engineering firm. Take on the project in a plant more than 1,000 miles away from your main office, with the knowledge that the abatement system would be prefabricated and shipped from another location and would need to fit precisely as designed into a very tight space, and the challenge increases substantially
James Kovalik, PLS, technology manager for Borton-Lawson, headquartered in Wilkes-Barre, PA, knew exactly how to get the job done in the most efficient way possible. “The more data the better, and the Leica ScanStation laser scanner is the best at capturing ‘the full picture,’” he said. “I knew 3D laser scanning with our Leica ScanStation paired with 3D design would allow for the prefabrication of parts offsite with a guaranteed fit.”
Fast, Accurate and Safe Plant Documentation
Kovalik, who has been using a Leica ScanStation since October 2013, is often called in to document existing conditions for Borton-Lawson’s retrofit projects. The top-rated engineering firm relies heavily on real-world 3D as-builts to identify project constraints, develop system layouts, and establish the overall project scope and budget. Kovalik and his team started out using a Leica ScanStation C10 with Leica Cyclone software and recently added a Leica ScanStation P40 to their technology arsenal. “Laser scanning is fast, accurate and comprehensive, and Leica Geosystems’ reputation for equipment and data quality as well as the range of capture gives us confidence in our work,” Kovalik explains. “A lot of our projects are so complex that there would really be no other way to collect the data we need.”
Borton-Lawson’s reputation for excellence, accuracy and speed is a primary reason it receives so much repeat business from its clients, even those located some distance away.
For the glass packaging plant project, obtaining accurate measurements was especially daunting. The tie-in points at the existing exhaust duct were difficult to access and were at temperatures over 600 degrees F. Additionally, the glass furnace stacks, or chimneys, were guyed to locations on the ground that interfered with the new abatement system layout.
“The Leica ScanStation allowed us to quickly, accurately and safely get the measurements of the tie-in points and incorporate these with the rest of the site,” Kovalik said. “The laser scanner even picked up the guy locations accurately, which allowed us to design temporary supports so the construction did not have to be interrupted.”
A Perfect Fit Installation
Within three days, Kovalik had captured the entire installation site with the Leica ScanStation C10 and returned with the data to the Borton-Lawson’s Wilkes-Barre office. The team used Leica Cyclone software to quickly and easily register the point clouds and then transferred the data to the firm’s plant design software for modeling and engineering design. All clash detection between the design and actual field conditions was done within the point clouds and models, without the need to return to the jobsite.
“Without laser scanning, we would have to visit the plant to gather additional data as the layout was refined,” said Kovalik. “The volume of data we collected through laser scanning eliminated at least two additional return trips to the project site, saving approximately $20,000 on our costs for the project.”
The resulting 2D and 3D bidding and construction documents enabled the abatement system to be prefabricated for a precise fit and installed on the foundations as designed. “We were able to apply our experience, skill and technology to achieve a successful outcome on this complex project,” Kovalik said. “The accurate 3D as-builts acquired with laser scanning were invaluable.”

Lubbock Police and County authorities had a busy Tuesday night, responding to several traffic collisions.
A gray truck struck a tree at 70th and Albany. One witnesses says the driver missed hitting her by feet.
"There was an explosion I turned around, there was wood flying through the air. This trailer was shaking, and a truck came speeding right past me, as I ran toward my house,"she says.
Police arrested the man on the scene, and are looking into whether alcohol was a contributing factor in the crash.
Two people are at UMC with serious injuries, after a traffic collision at the intersection County Road 6500 and North County Road 3200. DPS says a green Pontiac Sunfire failed to yield the right of way and was t-boned by a truck. Aerocare flew two people from the Sunfire to UMC with serious injuries. No one in the truck was injured. The driver of the Sunfire was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving.
Finally, Lubbock Police say a car ran a four-way stop sign and collided with a van in the 2400 Block of Louisville. The impact of the collision sent one vehicle into a house, and the other into a tree. Luckily, no one was seriously injured in this crash.

It was going to be a lovely Friday. It was my day off after having been back to work for four full weeks post-maternity. I was looking forward to cleaning/tidying up the house, a pedicure and other wonderful things … maybe even a massage.
I got up like normal at 4:15 a.m. to do my first pump of the day. Thankful to be able to crawl back in the bed, I did and I slept until nearly 9 a.m. Daddy and kids were gone to work and school, and I was looking forward to a quiet day alone.
As I became fully awake and aware of my body, I realized my left breast was enormous. Hmmm, I thought. How did I get engorged this morning? The pumping routine I had established was at least five weeks strong by now. This seemed odd to me. Then I realized not only was I swollen, but I had a good bit of pain in that breast.
I set up my pump and realized as I was getting all my parts and pieces situated, this wasn’t normal engorgement pain. This was something new. I also felt really lousy as my legs and back were really achy. And I was very lethargic, even after so much sleep.
I wondered if I had the flu. I also wondered about mastitis. I googled mastitis first to see what that was all about. I’d never had it before with my two other kids, but heard stories from friends.
WebMD stated that symptoms included fever, chills and body-aches. Well, by lunchtime I was suffering from all three symptoms. My husband brought me lunch and as he looked at me I could tell he knew something was up. “Are you cold?” he said, as I sat on the couch shivering. He took my temperature and it was 101.3. Great. I told him either I had the flu or this was mastitis.
Meanwhile, our oldest son was performing in a preschool choir performance that night and I almost started crying thinking about not being able to go.
At the encouragement of a friend, who believed I had mastitis, I pursued that route. I left a message with my doctor, who was booked up for the day and wouldn’t be able to see me. And after two hours passed without a call back, my husband gave me the great idea to go to the Minute Clinic at CVS. I checked online and the one closest to me had a 36 minute wait. I logged in and held my place in line (such a great feature!). I put on some mascara (cause you can’t leave the house without mascara!), grabbed my shoes and out the door I went.
As I sat in the room talking to the nurse I became emotional. I felt like I was falling apart and the thought of missing our son’s first real performance had me a little distraught.
She was able to quickly assess my symptoms and confirm I had mastitis along with a possible sinus infection (dang pollen). She prescribed me a simple antibiotic that would take care of both issues she said; Tylenol for the fever and pain, and I should be good to go.
Back in the car I called my husband and told him I was too weak to pick up the kids, but by golly I was going to that performance.
I think I was sweating through most of the hour-long show that night. My husband asked me a few times if I was okay, did I need to leave. I pushed through and was thankful to be able to share that moment, those memories with our son.
As far as the mastitis, I had it for about 36-48 hours from what I could tell with the pain I was experiencing. I know many other women have had it much worse, and I’m thankful that we were able to get it figured out as quickly as we did. I’m also thankful for my friend Sheri who pushed me to see a doctor before it got much worse.
My advice? If you’re breastfeeding and feeling pain in your breast that isn’t normal, call your doctor. Don’t try to wait it out like I was thinking I could do. Address it quickly and it will save you some heartache … as well ease the terrible pain!

Guido Antonio Santórsola di Bari Bruno (18 November 1904 in Canosa di Puglia, Italy – 24 September 1994 in Montevideo, Uruguay) was a Brazilian-Uruguayan composer, violinist, violist, viola d’amore player, and conductor of Italian birth.
== Life and music ==
Santórsola was born in Italy and his family settled in São Paulo, Brazil, in 1909. After receiving initial musical instruction from his father, Enrico, he soon entered the Conservatório Dramático e Musical de São Paulo studying violin with Zaccaria Autuori, and counterpoint, harmony and composition with Agostino Cantù and Lamberto Baldi.He went to Europe to study violin with Gaetano Fusella (1876–1973) in Naples and Alfred Mistowski (1872–1964) at Trinity College, London.Returning to Brazil in 1925, he founded the Brazilian Musical Institute, and was violist of the Paulista Quartet and the Rio de Janeiro Teatro Municipal Orchestra. Subsequently, he was professor of violin, viola and harmony at the Conservatório Dramático e Musical de São Paulo before settling in Montevideo in 1931. Italian maestro Lamberto Baldi, director of the Orquesta Sinfónica del SODRE, invited Santórsola to be first violist of his orchestra and also perform with the SODRE Chamber Ensemble. Santórsola later founded and conducted the orchestras of the Sociedad de Cultura Artística Uruguaya and the Instituto Cultural Brasil-Uruguay, was violist in the Kleiber Quartet, and was professor at the Instituto de Estudios Superiores of the Escuela Normal de Música of Montevideo.Santórsola composed a large body of work that distinctly exhibits melodic and rhythmic energy of Latin America. His musical style was initially influenced by his interest in Baroque counterpoint, Brazilian and Uruguayan folk music, and later twelve-tone serialism.

Lon Po Po : A Red-Riding Hood Story from China by Ed Young [FIRST EDITION • FIRST IMPRESSION] 1989
Lon Po Po: A Red-Riding Hood Story from China by Ed Young
FIRST EDITION • FIRST IMPRESSION  PHILOMEL BOOKS
Oversized [picture book] Hardcover with dust jacket in excellent condition.
Dust jacket and book are both excellent; looks and reads like new.
Winner of the 1990 Caldecott Medal.
Long, long ago a good woman lived contentedly with her three daughters—Shang, tao, and Paotze—in the country-side of northern China...
But one day she had to leave to visit their granny, so she warned her children to close the door tight and to latch it.
Son after, to their surprise, there was a knock at the door and a voice saying that it was their granny, their Po Po. What could the children do but let her in? But what a low voice she had, what thorny hands, and what a hairy face!
The Chinese tale of Lon Po Po, Granny Wolf, like the European tale of Little Red Riding Hood, comes from an ancient oral tradition and is thought to be over a thousand years old. It is a favorite tale of artist Ed young, who translated and illustrated this version. Using a dramatic style that combines techniques used in ancient Chinese panel art with a powerful contemporary palette or watercolors and pastels, Mr. Young has created a book of classic beauty and charm.

The bar once known as the Kingly Club, has had its fair share of scandal: it was one of the places cabinet minister John Profumo met call girl Christine Keeler in 1961, and has hosted the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Peter O’Toole and Audrey Hepburn.
Its latest development sees it transformed into Disrepute or D.R.P, a members’ only bar incorporating a vaulted den of jewel-coloured upholstery, marble floors and polished brass accents.
The concept originates from the sixties heyday, playing on its glamorous heritage with a avant garde twist creating cosy nooks for couples or pink vaulted ceilings for larger groups.

Our day started as usual on National Geographic Explorer. Breakfast was ready at 07:00, and we were surrounded by mountains and ice in beautiful Antarctica! At 8:30, we had the chance to meet one of the four women who stays on a small island called Goudier through the Antarctic summer. This woman visited us on board and told us about Port Lockroy’s history. The area was used by whalers and later became Base A for Operation Tabarin in the 1940s. The station was used until the 1980s and then went into disuse. Since the late 1990s, the British Antarctic Heritage Trust has been taking care of this and other historical sites on the Antarctic Peninsula, and they raise funds to do so through the post office and gift shop sales. After this briefing, we went ashore at this peculiar location and found ourselves surrounded by penguins before entering the historical hut and museum. Entering this building was like leaping through time. We observed old books, kitchen items that dated from the 1950s, and plenty of history on the walls. The gift shop was opened for us, and many postcards were placed in the mailbox. After our visit to Port Lockroy, we observed a couple crabeater seals resting on some ice floes on our way back to the ship. Crabeater seals are the most plentiful seals in the world; they are specialized krill eaters and only live in Antarctica!
We left Port Lockroy and entered the amazing Peltier Channel. As we cruised through, we had the chance to take good looks at the glaciers that slide down the steep sides of Winke Island. What a morning!
During the afternoon, we headed west into Borgen Bay. The bay is located to the east of Anvers Island, and it is surounded by high mountains that protected us from the wind in all directions. The water was flat and calm, which allowed us to set up kayaks and go for a paddle. The crew of National Geographic Explorer made boarding the kayaks easy for us. We moved from the ship to a Zodiac, and from a Zodiac to a kayak. We paddled for about an hour in the calm and frigid waters of Antarctica. We were able to get closer to the brash ice and take photos from a different perspective. Next, we did a Polar Plunge from a Zodiac attached to the side of the ship. Many of us decided to just observe those brave enough to carry out this crazy ritual. What a great way to finish our fantastic day in this amazing area.

For the first time in 18 years, HBO didn’t lead the pack in nominations. Netflix narrowly beat out the cable stalwart, earning 112 total nominations. HBO finished in second place with 108 noms.
HOW CAN I LIVE STREAM THE 2018 EMMY AWARDS?
The 2018 Emmys will air on NBC, which means you can find an Emmys live stream on NBC’s website. The only catch? You’ll need to authenticate through a cable provider.
Depending on your market, you may also be able to find an Emmys 2018 live stream if you’re a YouTube TV, Hulu with Live TV, fuboTV, Sling TV, or PlayStation Vue subscriber. More on these options (and free trials!) below.

PINK Prosecco, one of the first brands to launch a prosecco rosé, is bringing its new beverage to the UK and US markets.
Created by the founder of Slim Wine, the sparkling wine has has been produced in Treviso at a winery owned by the vice-president of the Prosecco Council, using glera and pinot nero (pinot noir) grapes.
It follows a change in regulation by Italian authorities earlier this year that allowed the production of rosé prosecco for the first time. The new regulations state that prosecco DOC rosé must be produced from a majority of glera grapes, and can include 10 to 15 per cent pinot nero to achieve its pink hue.
Presented in a striking black and pink bottle, PINK Prosecco has tried to give its brand an on-shelf advantage in the on and off-trade while also appealing to the ‘Instagram generation’.
Paul Anthony Gidley, CEO of PINK Prosecco, said: “There’s clear demand in the market for a strong pink prosecco and there’s definitely an opportunity for drinks buyers and hospitality outlets to capitalise on the new trend to drive sales and repeat custom.
“There’s a real buzz about PINK Prosecco on social media and it is set to bring a welcome highlight to the end of 2020. We have an amazing raft of events planned for next year, and trade and consumers alike will all have the opportunity to attend our ‘PINK Parties’.
“Since the Prosecco Council in Italy gave the go-ahead for prosecco DOC rosé we’ve been working hard behind the scenes to get the brand, bottle and bubbles just right. The result is a versatile, stylish and appealing product which we’re certain will be the next big trend among wine fans.
“Brits are the biggest consumers of prosecco behind its native Italy. Thanks to our experience with Slim Wine, we know that the UK has been shouting for an innovative new sparkling wine and we are pleased to be among the first to hit the market with this new prosecco DOC rosé.”
PINK Prosecco will be stocked on Vivino, Amazon and www.pinkprosecco.com, and will be available in independent retailers and venues across the UK from early November. This will be closely followed by its launch in the US.
It comes after wine brand The Emissary announced in September that it would be making a rosé prosecco for the British market.

A digital twin combines physics-based virtual replicas of a product (medical, aerospace, wireless or automotive, for example) which can alert the design team to potential operating or performance risks and provide preventative maintenance data to analyse machines in real-world operating conditions, to reduce risk. The data to generate the digital twin is collected using industrial IoT connectivity and individual feedback about product behaviour during operation.
The latest release from the company includes the Additive Suite for metal additive manufacturing. This feature allows designers to optimise weight reduction and density, address CAD geometry to create or repair it, simulate the additive process and conduct structural and thermal analysis.
For 3D design, there is automated meshing and instant post-processing results to view product behaviour. This has been used in medical implants, for example with simultaneous assessment of the structure.
In the electromagnetics suite, there are now advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous radar analysis and hybrid simulation techniques for PCB analysis. System modelling for electromagnetic field simulation products is also included, for analysis of power electronics systems.
For safety checking, an improved native model-based editor is included for automotive, aerospace, defence and rail designs.
In the semiconductor suite, a new 3D IC GUI wizard enables automatic and seamless connections between multiple dies, interposer and package for chip level power and thermal integrity analysis for system level design that can maximise cover and reduce design iterations.
There is also four times faster loading of project models and improved navigation, says the company.

What is Canine Lipoma?Canine lipoma is one of the most common benign tumors found in dogs. These fatty growths are most frequently found on middle-aged to older dogs, particularly overweight females. Breeds with a predisposition for lipomas include Doberman Pinschers, Schnauzers, Labrador Retrievers, as well as mixed breeds.(1) If your dog has a tumor under the skin that seems fatty, it is important to have it evaluated by the veterinarian. Unfortunately, both owners and veterinarians have been fooled by malignant cancerous tumors and misdiagnosed them as lipomas. Mast cell tumors are the most common form of cancerous tumors, and sometimes fatally diagnosed as lipomas. For more information on mast cell tumors in canines, please refer to our previous article: Mast Cell Tumors. Liposarcomas, another form of fatty tumor, are malignant and can metastasize (spread) aggressively to other parts of the body. Thankfully, these tumors are far less common than lipomas.What is the Cause of Canine Lipoma?
Veterinarians and experts are not sure what causes lipomas but genetics, chronic inflammation and environmental toxins may play significant roles.(2,3)
What are the Symptoms of Canine Lipoma?
Lipomas are fatty lumps found underneath the skin. They are typically soft and movable. Many dogs develop several lipomas over the course of their life. The presence of multiple lipomas is not an indication of malignancy.
What are the Treatment Options for Canine Lipoma?
We recommend contacting your local veterinarian for a complete diagnosis. The optimal way to determine what type of tumor your canine has is to perform a fine needle aspirate. This is a form of biopsy where a sterile needle is inserted into the tumor and cells are suctioned from the lump. These cells are then viewed under a microscope. If the cells have a normal appearance, then the tumor is benign. If the cells have an abnormal appearance, then the tumor is malignant. In some cases, the cells are not clearly defined, the aspirate should be sent to a veterinary pathologist for further evaluation or surgical removal of the lump may be recommended.
The majority of dogs won’t need to have their lipomas surgically removed. However, if the tumor is restricting movement or causing your dog discomfort, your veterinarian may recommend removal.
If the fatty lump is found to be a malignant tumor, then surgery is recommended. If caught early enough, your dog’s prognosis should be positive.
What are the Alternative Treatment Options for Canine Lipoma?
It is best to locate a holistic veterinarian in your area who can suggest treatment options specifically tailored to fit your dog’s case.
As with all types of cancer, feeding your dog a low-carbohydrate diet is best for maintaining a healthy immune system and combating cancer.(3,4) There are many raw and commercially produced dog foods that are filled with a variety of ingredients to ensure a well-balanced diet. If you choose to prepare a diet at home, we recommend that you contact a veterinary nutritionist for balanced recipes.
Homeopathy can also help to either stop the tumors from growing and spreading, or help to decrease them in size.
An omega fatty acids supplement is recommended for increasing blood flow, reducing inflammation and supporting a healthy immune system.
Lastly, elimination of toxins in your dog’s environment can be a great help. Health supplements can also help your dog’s body detoxify. The herb Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum) is an herb that protects the liver from damage by toxins, as well as having strong antioxidant properties.(5) Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) is a rich source of vitamins and minerals, giving your dog a boost of energy.

Chinese article by 孙钦舟
English Editor 武守哲
Although the smartphone is not a device specially used for taking pictures, it is a "battlefield for military strategists" for image sensor manufacturers. As Sony Semiconductor Solutions, which accounts for the largest share of image sensor revenue in 2022, even stated at the Investor Relations Day: As soon as 2024, the photo quality of smartphones will surpass the ability to save the interchangeable lens. Radical conception. Why is the mobile image sensor market so important? Do mobile image sensors have a chance to overtake interchangeable-lens cameras? TechInsights Senior Analyst, Jeffrey Mathews.

US - The nation's two largest pension funds have launched an emerging managers database in a bid to boost investment returns long-term.
The California State Teachers’ Retirement System (CalSTRS) and the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) - whose combined assets exceed US$380bn - unveiled a database of 721 Emerging Managers and Financial Service Providers (EMFSP).
The funds explained the aim was to "expose public and private pension funds and other institutional investors to a new universe of emerging investment firms in an effort to boost investment returns by building investment portfolios that tap into the changing demographics and talent emerging in California and the nation".
The EMFSP database was also sent to leaders and top investment officers of the nation’s pension funds and posted it on their websites.
Altura Capital developed the directory, which covers emerging and under-capitalised managers, funds, partnerships, consultants, researchers, and broker-dealers in 11 asset classes. One-third of the participants are money managers, followed by hedge funds (28.4%), private equity funds (13.6%) and broker-dealers (8.9%).
The EMFSP database captures the universe of emerging financial service firms, creates an industry reference guide, promotes information transparency and broadens opportunities for adding value to institutional investors’ portfolios from a largely untapped pool of talent.
“It’s said at the ballpark that you can’t tell the players without a programme, and this database does that for us," explained CalSTRS CIO Christopher Ailman.
"This tool helps us to scout promising talent to nurture for potentially solid investment payoffs as the managers and funds mature.”
CalPERS CIO Russell Read added it was easy to miss emerging firms that were still struggling to raise capital. “Most large firms started at the small end of the market and we want to find them on the small end of their asset class," explained Read. "Then we won’t have to stand in line for their services on the big end later.”
The Pensions Regulator (TPR) and Labour MP Stephen Kinnock and will listen to the experiences of steelworkers when transferring their pensions away from the British Steel Pension Scheme (BSPS) next week in Port Talbot.
Just Group has acquired a 75% stake in the holding company of Corinthian Pension Consulting in a bid to strengthen its professional defined benefit (DB) advisory services.
The Pensions Regulator (TPR) has exercised its production order power under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 for the very first time as part of a fraud investigation.
The ITN Limited Pension Scheme has named Trafalgar House as its administrator for an initial term of five years.

Written on the Wind (1956)
"Written on the Wind" is perhaps the most hyperbolic of all movies, and yes, I do see the irony saying that. It elicits powerful performances from all of its actors, even if at sometimes it can seem a bit screamy. However, "Written on the Wind" is an anomaly in the film world for the time period it was made in. The 50s is where we see the shift from the typical family film to more edgy works, but still...this is pretty early. "Written on the Wind" gives us scenes in which couples share a bed (gasp), make references to only wanting sex out of relationship (gasp), and have longings towards married people (gasp). Though the casual view of sex is paired with brutal inter human relationship commentary...blah blah blah. "Written on the Wind" ranges from high to low to high and back again so quickly and with so much veracity that it can leave the audience breathless, and it tends to.
"Written on the Wind" starts on a dark, windy (hence the name) night as a mysterious man drunkenly speeds his car towards a mansion. The man stumbles out of his car and into the house as the inhabitants look outside their windows. A shot rings out, reminding us of "Mildred Pierce", and a figure stumbles back out, clutching a wound and falling to the ground.
Cut to a cheesy wind blowing a calendar backwards and we got back in time over a year. Lucy Moore (Lauren Bacall, perfect as always) is the new executive secretary for the Hadley Oil Company. She is surprised in the office by Mitch Wayne (Rock Hudson) who essentially asks her on a date...but not really...oh well. He takes her to a nice club where she meets the progeny of the patriarch of the Hadley company, Kyle Hadley (Robert Stark). Kyle is a little fond of the drink, well, he's a lot fond of the drink. As he slurs his way through every conversation and makes rather inappropriate advances towards Lucy Moore, we get the distinctive idea that children of the rich are bred incompetently. Money corrupts, or so says the movie. Kyle's drunkenness is paired with his sister Marylee's obsessive desire to meddle in other people's lives. Marylee (Dorothy Malone) is still smitten with her childhood friend Wayne...oh, the webs we weave.
As Kyle makes more moves, he kidnaps Lucy and takes her on a magical airplane ride. On this ride, he becomes very candid with her and she decides that she is in love with him. Why? He's a complete loser, oh well, there's no accounting for taste. Bacall is convincing enough that we believe Lucy can, for all her pragmatism, fall for someone as low as Kyle. But Kyle isn't all bad and as he almost loses Lucy, he realizes that he needs to turn his life around. A whirlwind romance later and the two are married and Kyle is sober.
There is one problem: Wayne is in love with Lucy.
It is so so so so so melodramatic and it works so so so so well. I can't emphasize how much I should hate this movie and how much I actually love it. There are some huge flaws in "Written on the Wind"; but it is so fast and furious that it is above all else, damn entertaining.
The lives intersect, the drama seeps in, money is terrible...we get it.
"Written on the Wind" may be really adult for its time and very cheesy, but its power is unquestionable.

from the doesn't-raid-fix-this? dept.
Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:
In 2015, Microsoft senior engineer Dan Luu forecast a bountiful harvest of chip bugs in the years ahead.
"We've seen at least two serious bugs in Intel CPUs in the last quarter, and it's almost certain there are more bugs lurking," he wrote. "There was a time when a CPU family might only have one bug per year, with serious bugs happening once every few years, or even once a decade, but we've moved past that."
Thanks to growing chip complexity, compounded by hardware virtualization, and reduced design validation efforts, Luu argued, the incidence of hardware problems could be expected to increase.
This month's Meltdown and Spectre security flaws that affect chip designs from AMD, Arm, and Intel to varying degrees support that claim. But there are many other examples.

For @mormoc, who has been so sweet and nice to me when I needed a friend the most, thank you for checking up on me and making sure I am okay, we haven’t been friends for long but you have been nothing but sweet to me and I wanted to thank you and this is the best way I could think of.
There was a trail of rose petals outside her cabin, blue rose petals and she felt her heart beat faster. She wasn’t sure it was made for her, but when she looked back to see her siblings they were all smiling at her and Malcolm took a step forward to her.
“Go on, follow the blue road,” he said to her. Annabeth could see his smile, he had the biggest smile out of all her siblings.
“Malcolm, what does this mean?”
“Don’t think, just follow it.” He pushed her gently towards the door. “Go.”
Annabeth gave a last look to her siblings, some of them gestured for her to go inside and she started to follow the trail. She felt a little silly but something inside her was pulsing with anticipation. She was supposed to be going to out for a girls night with Piper and Hazel, but they were nowhere to be seen, actually she couldn’t see any other camper. Annabeth was wearing her favorite boots, dark jeans and a loose blouse, Piper had told her to dress comfortably, that she needed a break from the orange shirts.
Annabeth was starting to realise that she’d been tricked, she was not going to a dinner and she had a feeling Percy was behind of this.
The trail went all the way past the cabins and the big house, it seemed to end by Thalia’s tree, where she could see some lights shining in the night. Her hands started to sweat, she was sure there wasn’t an important day to celebrate, it was not her birthday and it was not their anniversary, she could only think of one thing, but she didn’t let her her brain to keep going with that thought, she didn’t want to get her hopes up.
The walk to Thalia’s tree felt endless, her heart was beating faster with every step she took. When she finally reached the top of the hill she could finally see the source of the light, there were candles forming a circle and inside which, stood Percy. He was facing away from her.
“Percy,” she said stepping inside the circle and he turned to face her, he was wearing dark pants and blue button down shirt, his hands were tucked into the pockets of his pants. “What’s going on? Where is everybody?”
“Did you know we met in this spot, exactly ten years ago?” He was smiling at her, that beautiful smile she loved, but there was a hint of nervous there. “I didn’t remember the exact date, but Chiron helped me.”
“Perce.” Her voice was quiet, she couldn’t get her hopes up, this could not be what she was thinking, but oh gods, she wanted it to be so badly, she wanted him to propose so badly.
He took a step forward and she did the same. “Ten years ago I was laying in this grass and I was about to pass out and then I saw you.” He took another step closer to her and he was so close to her, but not close enough. “The pretty girl with the princess hair and you said one thing. Do you remember what you said?”
“He must be the one.” Annabeth didn’t realize she was crying until Percy wiped her tears away with his thumb.
“You were talking about the prophecy, I know. But Annabeth, you’re the one.” He finally took the final step that was keeping them apart. “You have always been the one, my anchor, my light, my strength, my partner, my best friend.”
Annabeth’s breathing was speeding up, his hands were cupping her face and he was looking at her with those sea green eyes that were brighting so much. She was afraid to talk, because it was happening, every single part of her body was telling her, it was finally happening. She leaned into his right hand and kissed his wrist.
“It has always been you and it will always be you.” He gave her a quick kiss on her forehead before he took a step back. She barely had time to miss the warm of his hands before he was in front of her, down on one knee, with a little box in his hand.
“I have been trying to ask you this for the past few months, this ring has been on my pocket for so long and now that I am doing it, I can’t remember what I wanted to tell you.” He gave her a nervous smile and she laughed, her tears were falling and falling but she didn’t care. “You’re so beautiful, Annabeth, inside and outside. You’re so beautiful, brilliant and smart and amazing and I don’t know what I did for you to love me, but I am the luckiest men alive because you do. You love me, you decided to be mine and I am yours, I have always been yours, even if I didn’t realized it.”
“I have always been yours too,” she said quietly.
“Will you do me the honor of marry me? Of being my wife and waking up next to me everyday, I mean we already do that, but, oh my gods. Will you marry me?”
She was nodding like crazy, she couldn’t speak, she was fighting the sobs until she didn’t care about them anymore. She kneeled infront of him. “Yes, yes, yes, yes. I’ll marry you, I’ll be your wife, yes.” She kissed him. “Yes.”
“The ring,” he said and she nodded and finally saw the ring, a silver band with two small diamonds and between them there was a sapphire. It was absolutely beautiful. Annabeth could feel Percy’s hand shaking while he took her left hand and slid the ring onto her finger. He was still holding her hand when he stood up, helping her stand too. He kissed her again and again and again, sometimes breaking the kiss because they were laughing.
“It was about time!” A voice yelled from the forest, making them separate and Annabeth could see Clarisse leading the campers towards them.
“Oh gods,” Percy groaned but she could see a smile on his face. “Seriously?”
“The lovebirds need to cool off,” Clarisse yelled and just like the last time, campers went towards them and raised them in their arms,
Annabeth could see it was the rest of the seven the ones who were carrying them towards the lake and she could hear Percy’s laugh next to her, his hand in hers. She turned her face to look at him, he was already looking at her with the biggest smile on his face, a smile reserved for her.
She knew what was going to happen, but that didn’t stop her from screaming when her body fell into the lake. And just like six years ago, Percy pulled her deep into the lake, a bubble of air already forming around them.
And it was pretty much the best underwater kiss of all time.
I am still letting the movie set in and let me tell you, I am so disappointed in how Jack was in the entire thing. Well. Mostly. I loved a few lines. But where is our witty Jack?? Where did he go??? Where are his pants???? Ugh. But Hector love all the way. Sobs.
yeah Jack was just an absolute mess throughout lbr, and easily one of the biggest problems with the film as a whole ( I still can’t quite believe that Jack Sparrow started to annoy me and continued annoying me during the second half. he was staggeringly awful in parts of this movie ). the script seriously robbed him of his wit and charm and everything that made him so insanely likeable in the first three films in particular, so I absolutely know how you feel Kimmie <3 he did have some half-decent moments though I agree, and Hector was great. Geoffrey seriously did good with what he had to work with in this film, even if I’m still kinda meh on the execution of his arc in this movie
This is a thank you to all the really kind people who decided to follow me on here. I hope it’s at least mildly entertaining! If anyone has a better suggestion for a title, feel free to toss it into my ask box (I’ll definitely give you credit!).
Summary: Lucy tests a theory – and Natsu’s limits.
You know when you see a post so stupid and you just need to shoot it down for your own sanity? This is what this is, so feel free to skip and not read, haha.
I saw a post from someone saying that most of Killian’s actions in S3 that were in service to Emma and her family, were just Killian trying to get in Emma’s pants and not truly wanting to help out of the goodness of his heart. I know that’s been said left and right by people who are anti-Hook and haven’t even tried to learn and understand the inner workings of his character but I just want to talk about that – because Killian’s character is important to me and to see his actions sold short like that just really pisses me off.

Does pressure affect flow rate?
Line Pressure Effects on Gases in Motion Doubling the line pressure halves the volumetric flow rate, and decreasing line pressure increases the volumetric flow rate.
However, the number of molecules of air that flow (mass flow rate) does not change..
Is flow rate proportional to pressure?
This is best demonstrated by the fact that in turbulent flow, the flow rate is proportional to the square root of the pressure gradient, whereas in laminar flow, flow rate is directly proportional to the pressure gradient. This means that to double the flow, the pressure across the tube must be quadrupled.
Does higher pressure mean higher flow rate?
Pressure is the cause. Flow rate is the effect. Higher pressure causes increased flow rate. If the flow rate increases, it is caused by increased pressure.
How do I calculate flow rate?
The flow rate formula, in general, is Q = A × v, where Q is the flow rate, A is the cross-sectional area at a point in the path of the flow and v is the velocity of the liquid at that point.
How is flow rate calculated?
The velocity is measured as 10 feet per second and the cross sectional area of the flow is measured as 10 square feet. Flow = 10 feet per second * 10 square feet = 100 cubic feet per second.
What happens to pressure when flow increases?
Bernoulli’s Principle states that as the speed of a moving fluid increases, the pressure within the fluid decreases. The Bernoulli’s Principle explains the behavior of an ideal fluid passing through a pipe or enclosed passageway such a pump.
Does pressure drop reduce flow rate?
Under laminar flow conditions, pressure drop is proportional to volumetric flow rate. … Under turbulent flow conditions, pressure drop increases as the square of the volumetric flow rate. At double the flow rate, there is four times the pressure drop. Pressure drop decreases as common mode pressure increases.
Does turbulent flow increase pressure?
Turbulence increases the energy required to drive blood flow because turbulence increases the loss of energy in the form of friction, which generates heat. … When plotting a pressure-flow relationship (see figure to right), turbulence increases the perfusion pressure required to drive a given flow.
How do you calculate flow rate with pressure?
A thicker fluid flows more slowly under the same pressure. Square the pipe’s radius. With a radius, for instance, of 0.05 meters, 0.05 ^ 2 = 0.0025. Multiply this answer by the pressure drop across the pipe, measured in pascals.
What is the relationship between flow and pressure?
Bernoulli’s equation states mathematically that if a fluid is flowing through a tube and the tube diameter decreases, then the velocity of the fluid increases, the pressure decreases, and the mass flow (and therefore volumetric flow) remains constant so long as the air density is constant.
Does water pressure drop over distance?
An easy calculation to know is that for every 10 feet of rise you lose -4.33 psi. For every 10 feet of fall in elevation, you will gain +4.33 psi. Once you know your total pressure loss, you subtract it from your starting pressure.
Does mass flow rate change with pressure?
More distance between molecules means less mass in a given volume. If mass flow is kept constant, and temperature increases, volume flow increases to pass the same amount of mass (molecules) across the sensor. Fig. 1: Increased volumetric flow due to temperature increase T2 > T1 , constant mass flow and pressure.
Why does pressure drop increase with flow rate?
Pressure drop decreases when common mode pressure increases. Pressure drop increases as the square of the volumetric flow rate under turbulent flow conditions. When the flow rate is double, there is four times the pressure drop. Pressure drop increases as gas viscosity increases.

Sulfur is reduced to a sulfide form under anoxic conditions in submerged paddy soils. Free hydrogen sulfide is generated and inhibits the rice root growth in paddy soils with low content of free iron oxide and high sulfate content. On the other hand, application of sulfate has been expected to decrease methane (global-warming gas) emissions from paddy soils (e.g. Van der Gon and Neue, 1994) because of sulfate's function as an electron acceptor. In addition, increased sulfide reduces concentrations of heavy metals such as Cd in pore water of anoxic soils through precipitation as insoluble sulfide (Carbonell-Barrachina et al. 2002). This precipitation might reduce uptake of heavy metals by rice plants. These effects can be beneficial for prevention of global warming and safe food production. For those reasons, it is very important to estimate sulfur levels without negative effects to rice root growth in paddy soils for environmentally conscious rice production with high yield levels. Some studies have reported no clear decrease in rice yields through application of sulfur (e.g., Van der Gon and Neue, 1994). Ferrous iron reacts with sulfide and alleviates toxicity of free hydrogen sulfide. Therefore, sulfur levels in paddy soils, which inhibit rice growth, should differ depending on the iron content of soils. In this study, we investigated the influences of sulfur levels on rice grown in paddy soils with different contents of iron.
Materials and methods
We used three alluvial soils (Entisols) and three volcanic ash soils (Andisols) with wide variation in reducible iron content (extraction with pH 2.8 CH3COONa buffer of reduced soil) in this study. Soils named in this study are the following. Alluvial soils used were Tsuruoka, Ogata and Kiyosato soils with respective reducible iron contents (g Fe kg-1) of 1.3, 6.6 and 15. Volcanic ash soils used were Naruko, Shikama and Moka with respective reducible iron contents (g Fe kg-1) of 3.1, 5.9 and 6.5. These soils were filled into square frames (0.076 m2; 0.15 m deep) placed at an experimental paddy field of Tohoku University, Japan. Soil sulfur contents were varied by gypsum addition at rates of 0, 500 and 1000 g m-2 (corresponding to 0, 93 and 186 g S m-2) on 12 May 2004. Basal fertilizers (5 g N m-2, 3.1 g P m-2, 5.8 g K m-2) and rice straw (500 g m-2) were applied, and topdressing (2 g N m-2) was conducted at the ear formation stage. Rice seedlings (Oryza sativa L. cv. Hitomebore) were transplanted to each frame on 14 May and harvested on 18 September in 2004. In 2005, the same soils were used without further addition of gypsum. Six soils with three sulfur levels were arranged by randomized block design with three replications. Sulfide (as total reduced sulfur) and free hydrogen sulfide in the soils were evolved with N2 and trapped in a Zn-acetate solution with or without previous addition of sulfuric acid, respectively. Concentration of sulfide in the solution was determined by iodimetric procedure.
Results and discussion
In 2004, sulfur treatment stimulated increase in tiller number, but decreased brown rice yield by 0–12% compared to no sulfur treatment in six soils. In April 2005, amounts of sulfate remaining in soils, as estimated by extraction with 0.03 M Ca(HPO4)2 solution were different among the six soils. Tsuruoka and Kiyosato soils respectively retained 15% and 27% of sulfur applied in 2004 for high sulfur treatment of 186 g S m-2. Soil with higher contents of reducible iron retained greater amounts of sulfur, probably because of more intensive formation of insoluble FeS. Moreover, greater amounts of sulfur remained in volcanic ash soils than in alluvial soils after one year.
In 2005, sulfur treatment did not increase the tiller number and decreased the brown rice yield by 7–18% compared to no sulfur treatment in Tsuruoka, Naruko and Shikama soils. With high sulfur treatment, free hydrogen sulfide measured at the ripening stage of rice increased significantly in these soils. A significant positive correlation was found between the amounts of free hydrogen sulfide and the molar ratios of sulfide to reduced iron of soils. Suppression of rice growth in high sulfur soil was more severe in 2005 than in 2004, although soil sulfur contents were lower in 2005 than 2004. The reason for more severe suppression of growth in 2005 would be that gypsum treatments increased the concentration of NH4+ in soil solution through exchange of Ca2+ from gypsum for NH4+ absorbed in soil and resulted in increasing tiller number in 2004. With sulfur treatment, grain yields decreased and the amount of free hydrogen sulfide increased to more than 0.5 mg S kg-1 in Tsuruoka, Naruko and Shikama soils in 2005. This correspondence suggests that the hydrogen sulfide toxicity decreased the rice yields in these soils. Molar ratios of sulfide to reduced iron were more than 0.05 in these soils. It was concluded that the paddy soils with the ratio of more than 0.05 generated free hydrogen sulfide and decreased the rice yield.

More conscientious catch methods and the rise of cultivated seafood could help
take the pressure off of overfished marine ecosystems — whose health is critical
for planetary health.
Just over 70 percent of our planet is covered in water. And around 250,000
live beneath the surface of all that water — everything from whales the size of
buildings to water fleas barely a millimeter long.
The health of this vast array of sea life is imperative for a healthy planet —
everything from the air we breathe to the stability of the Earth’s climate
depend to some degree on the ability of sea turtles, dolphins, fish, and
countless other aquatic life forms to live and thrive. The world’s oceans supply
about half the oxygen
we breathe and absorb roughly 25 percent of the
our industrial activities emit on a regular basis; and their inhabitants also
play a crucial role in these processes: Marine worms convert organic material
which marine plants photosynthesize; while fish are vital for the production of
the world’s oxygen, plus the sequestration of all that carbon — making them a
key tool in fighting climate
According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, the
fishing industry removed and killed up to 2.7 trillion fish each
year between 2007 and 2016.
And as fish consumption continues to increase every year around the globe,
forecast that the world’s oceans could be virtually empty by 2048.
Another issue with modern-day, industrial fishing is the problem of “bycatch” —
the hundreds of thousands of dolphins, sea turtles, sharks and
whales that die each year from
getting entangled in fishing nets.
Hear the latest case studies, partnerships, innovations and educational initiatives fostering the continued growth, scale and impacts of regenerative agriculture throughout the world - Thurs, May 9, at Brand-Led Culture Change.
Depleting the planet of the world’s marine wildlife negatively affects coastal
civilizations in parts of Africa, Asia and Latin America — as many
impoverished communities have no choice but to catch local fish to feed
themselves and their families. But it’s not just the poor that are in trouble
from overfishing: The fishing industry itself will also be in quite a bind the
day there are barely enough fish to catch — especially as many farmed
are fed wild fish from the oceans — not to mention the additional effect on
global biodiversity, which is already in danger of destabilization from
“Aquatic animal welfare is important for environmental protection because of its
interconnectedness with water quality, antimicrobial resistance and food
safety,” Christine Xu, head
of strategic initiatives for the Aquatic Life Institute, an
international organization that conducts research and provides advice on aquatic
welfare, told Sustainable Brands® (SB).
The organization also works with corporates to incorporate aquatic-animal
welfare commitments into their business practices.
“In fisheries, more gentle catch and handling methods for fish onboard fishing
vessels means lower bycatch and mortality, which helps both welfare and
conservation efforts of fish populations,” she added.
Scientific innovation in food production is offering an even more effective
solution — and foodtech startups including Aqua Cultured
are producing real, lab-grown seafood without killing or harming any fish (much
less other aquatic species).
As with cell-based (or cultivated)
cell-based fish and other seafood alternatives are making a splash —taking cells
from fish and potentially other aquatic animals and lab-growing them into a
variety of real seafood products — and entrepreneurs and investors are embracing
the lucrative opportunity to relieve pressure on the oceans.
“We need a new solution to feed people nutritious seafood without compromising
fish stocks. Cell-cultured seafood provides a sustainable alternative that
alleviates pressure on wild fish populations, allowing marine ecosystems to
recover and thrive,” Mia Montanile,
associate director of corporate communications for cell-based seafood company
BlueNalu, told SB.
As communications manager and sustainability lead Shara
California-based BlueNalu (which has already partnered with food giants such
to scale the delivery of sustainably produced, cell-cultured seafood
products in Europe) uses its platform to make a variety of seafood
products — focusing on species that are difficult to farm raise, susceptible to
contaminants, vulnerable in the wild, and primarily imported. Narsipur said the
team is excited about the progress with its first offering, bluefin tuna
In 2022, cultivated meat and seafood companies received close to $900 million
from investors, with a cumulative all-time investment of nearly $3 billion,
according to the Good Food
and the cultivated-seafood industry is
projected to see a
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.1 percent through 2030. But a few
hurdles remain before it becomes available in local supermarkets.
As Montanile explained, BlueNalu “is focused on continuing our scale-up journey
— getting regulatory approval in the US,
and additional nations around the world; and then launching our products into
commerce within selected restaurants. In tandem, we’re working with culinary
partners to perfect our product and conducting market research around the world
to home in on consumer preferences in each region we plan to go to market.”
As with animal products made from plants and
cultivated seafood startups are ramping up production to save our planet — which
of course includes that 70 percent covered in water. And this may only be the
“We have already completed a comprehensive, techno-economic analysis based upon
our process parameters; and we are making plans for long-term, large-scale
commercialization,” Montanile concluded.

I have always been fascinated with “reading cards” it seems so mysterious. And let’s face it, my childhood was “hell and brimstone” and this crossed the line between good and evil.
🙂 people are so silly when they don’t understand something!
Years later with a much more open mind. I continue to study all things that I find interesting. As I study I felt a much deeper connection to my inner voice and the universal consciousness. I really wanted to find a easier way to communicate to both. I believe that the “cards” are just a way to connect with MY true soul and consciousness.
Enter again the idea of reading cards.. there are so many more different card decks now, based on many spiritual belief systems. I was able to buy several decks, read about them and really create a connection to them. I don’t think that it is important what deck of cards you use, only that it feels great to you!
When I first started using the cards I had a systematic approach, I kept them all in a row on my book shelf and each day I would pick a new card. Sometimes they were enlightening, sometimes not. More interesting was that when I picked a card for a specific person and shared with them, they ALWAYS knew what it meant and would ask how I knew they needed to hear that.
As time went on I would find myself with a deck of cards in my hands while I was thinking at my desk. I would pick a card and it would be exactly what I needed to hear at the moment.
Now I pick up the deck when I am thinking… to me it feels like I am connecting and sharing my love with myself. If I feel that I need to pick a card I will, if I am working on a question or problem I will ask and receive an answer. I always receive an answer. It is like I know what to tell myself 🙂
I am very glad that I was open enough to try creating a way to me communicate with me! I truly believe it is most important that you find a way to communicate that works for you, whether it is cards, whether it is silent meditation, whether it is journaling. Learning to communicate with yourself is one of the most important skills you learn in your life!
