So my blogging friend Mary Lee wrote a one word poem on Day 25.
Intriqued and tired from the month of asthma, allergies and work related things I have one to share as well today. This is the prompt at One Single Impression. It is a perfect word to describe what I have felt is happening in my school district over school libraries.
A poet and an article for you about “one-word poems”:
David R. Slavitt
Poetic Asides’ prompt for Day 27 was to choose between a hopeful poem or a hopeless poem. This is what I came up with on the way home from last nights school board meeting:
students, board members, teachers, parents
social studies and libraries
both asking “what’s best for kids?”
my drive home
golden glow twilight
cloud puffs drift
blue heron flies over
late night email
A lovely poem with HOPE. YAY
But you mentioned that things are looking hopeful in your district? *fingers remain crossed*
I like this, too. I told my students today that words are poems. I like what you wrote.
I like the idea of a one-word poem. This one is so revealing and provocative when paired with your thoughts…

Raul Ibañez hit a 3-run home run in the top of the 10th inning tonight to lead the Phils over the Mets, 6-3. The win gives the team the series win, a 4 game lead over the Mets in the NL East, and a record of 7-3 on this road trip. Pedro Feliz added 3 hits and scored 2 runs in the winning effort. Jamie Moyer seemed to be in trouble every inning, but he kept the Phils in the game.

The sponge is a product that is soaked with a spermicide. This spermicide soaked product is pushed as far into your vagina as possible before you have sex. After you have sex, you need to keep the sponge in for a few hours before you remove it, in order to reap the contraceptive effectiveness.
In general, the sponge is not as effective as other over-the-counter birth control options. If you use the contraceptive sponge perfectly, you get a better form of effectiveness. However, nobody's perfect. In some studies, one in four women who use this form of birth control will get pregnant with each use. So keep that in mind. It's 75 percent effective, and it doesn't prevent sexually transmitted diseases.
If you are considering using birth control that is not prescribed by a nurse practitioner or a physician, the sponge is not the best option. Please consider using condoms, at least until you can get a better birth control option for you. And by the way, condoms are an excellent form of birth control. You don't need to see a doctor. You don't need to tell anybody that you're using anything else. You can just use the condoms. Everybody's happy. And it also prevents sexually transmitted diseases.
So, please, the sponge, while it is convenient in some ways, it is not as effective as using condoms, and it does not prevent sexually transmitted diseases. So I reiterate. Use condoms, and if you don't like using condoms, use them until you can get to your doctor or your nurse practitioner, and then discuss your birth control options in more detail.

Would you take a class from this guy? Kal Penn in Epic Movie.
Penn, whose real name is Kalpen Modi, will teach Images of Asian Americans in the Media and Contemporary American Teen Films in the Asian American Studies and Cinema Studies departments at Penn.
I just saw (Kal) Penn in The Namesake, where he gave a wonderful serious turn as the main character, Gogol. You could see a little bit of Kumar in the performance and there was one pot-smoking scene, but Penn is definitely showing some dramatic acting chops.

Now you see her, now you don't. When Karen Hogan, at left with her twin sons, Matthew and Jack, wants a moment to herself, she retreats to a glass cubicle at one end of her TriBeCa loft. When the panels slide shut, she is inside an office that glows. When the doors are open, Ms. Hogan, a former investment banker who is studying photography, can work while keeping an eye on the babies.
''The box is like a big piece of furniture,'' said Peter Guzy, a Manhattan architect, who with his partner, Edward Asfour, designed the cubicle.
A builder's challenge, the design called for wood flooring, wide panels of glass (some movable, some not) and frames of silver cold-rolled steel and black hot-rolled steel. The panels slide along tracks concealed within the frame.
The cost of the box was $15,000, although a less elaborate version, with exposed tracks and frames screwed together rather than welded, can be had for about $10,000. For information: (212) 334-9350.Continue reading the main story

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - The Federal Appellate Court (TRF-1) on Wednesday rejected an appeal to prevent the restart of investigations, instead authorizing the Federal Police to try to establish whether waiter Adelio Bispo de Oliveira acted under third party instructions when he stabbed the far-right candidate for Brazil's presidency.
Adelio Bispo has been detained since September 6, 2018, when he stabbed the current head of state while participating in an election rally in the city of Juiz de Fora.
Leading the presidential election polls at the time, Bolsonaro was seriously injured in the abdomen, which forced him . . .

During the late 60’s, Fiat’s successful 950 Spider had started getting a bit long in the tooth. To come up with a deserving successor, the Italian brand once again returned to Bertone to design a new machine. Under the supervision of chief designer Marcello Gandini, Bertone took the drivetrain from Fiat’s front wheel drive sub brand Autobianchi Primula and mated it with a brand new engine from the Fiat 128. The result was the Autobianchi A112 Runabout concept which the company introduced the world at the 1969 Turin Auto Show. The Runabout was such a massive hit that Fiat decided to go ahead and make a production model from the A112. The resulting car was the Fiat X 1/9 that you see here in the photos – the world’s first widely successful mass-produced mid-engined sports car. Fiat built the X 1/9 between 1972 – 1982, the same era where this particular example that is going on sale at Bonhams’ Grand Palais comes from. After Fiat discontinued production of the X 1/9, Bertone continued producing the car till 1998.
Fiat X 1/9 Specs
The X 1/9 got its power from a transversely mounted 1.3-litre engine from the Fiat 128 Rally that produced a modest 75 bhp that was sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. Fiat knew that the superb weight distribution and chassis setup meant that the X 1/9 could handle more power, and in 1978 with the second series, the X 1/9 received an upgrade in the form of a 1,498cc engine and a five-speed gearbox. Now the power was up to 85 bhp and the X 1/9 was able to top out at 177 kmph while reaching 100kmph in about 11 seconds. Furthermore, the Fiat X 1/9 was also developed as a factory works rally car. This is when the engine was further bored out to 1.8-litre and fitted with an Abarth 16-valve cylinder head. Unfortunately, Fiat’s corporate policy back then favoured Lancia as the preferred rally car brand due to which the more powerful X 1/9 never took off beyond the prototype stage. Photos via Bonhams

Reports on trucking and swine flu have proliferated this week. Many media outlets picked up the Knoxville, Tenn., newspaper interview with Professional Drivers Medical Depots (cited here earlier), but other angles have followed.
First, two on the lighter side:
Everitt Mickey, one of the writers who contributes to International Trucks’ Life on the Road blog, cautions readers to take the alarmist news accounts with a grain of salt: “The business of the news media, as they practice it, is to spread panic, hate, discontent and unease, while at the same time claiming otherwise.”
This one doesn’t involve trucking, but it does a thorough job of expanding Mickey’s criticism. My colleague Carolyn Magner showed me this on humor site The Gawker, with a label we both wish we’d coined: Aporkalypse now. The story itself, “Five Ways the Swine Flu Story Is Dumb,” takes the media to task.
The Fox affiliate in Memphis, Tenn., interviewed drivers across the Mississippi River in West Memphis, Ark., and found the flu was on the minds of many. One was Veronica Martinez, who’s based in border city Laredo, Texas. “You see this napkin here?” she said. “I don’t even touch the door.” The station’s website also has video of the West Memphis interviews.
The City Wire of Fort Smith, Ark., is among sources reporting a statement from the American Trucking Associations: “ATA is aware that, depending on how aggressively the Swine Flu continues to spread, certain government actions might be taken which could impact trucking operations, especially cross-border operations with Mexico and Canada, and potentially at a domestic level.”
The Journal of Commerce notes that work toward a new cross-border trucking program will apparently take a back seat to working on the flu.

Look at the subject terms and keywords that the articles you find are using. If they seem relevant, you may wish to incorporate them into your search terms.
If your results are too broad, add additional search terms to refine your search.
Searching for a specific phrase? Place it in quotation marks to search for those exact works in that order. For example: “To be or not to be” will find that specific phrase, rather than each word individually.

Marvel Announces Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Ongoing Series
Squirrel Girl is a character I don’t know anything about, mainly because I haven’t read anything she’s been in. At least as far as I know I haven’t, anyway. But apparently she’s pretty awesome, having gone toe-to-toe with Doctor Doom, Wolverine, Deadpool, and Thanos and beaten all of them. I don’t know the context for these fights, but with that kind of track record it makes why the Marvel adjective of her upcoming solo series is “unbeatable.”
Marvel has announced that Unbeatable Squirrel Girl will be launching this coming January. Written by Ryan North (Adventure Time comics) and drawn by Erica Henderson (Atomic Robo: Real Science Adventures), the book is another one of Marvel’s female-led books which is “intended to appeal equally to canon-heads and newcomers.” Aside from that we don’t know much about the plot or anything, but judging by the writer’s previous work and the art style it’s going to be one of Marvel’s more comedy focused and lighthearted series.
Above you can see the cover for the first issue, drawn by Henderson, and below you can see a variant cover drawn by Art Adams. Unbeatable Squirrel Girl launches in January, 2015.


Earnings season has sparked a comeback in a once-hot trade that was left for dead
|02/11/2019||Posted by BusinessMediaguide.Com under General World News||
- The short-volatility trade is back, at least for a while, according to a strategist at JPMorgan.
- The firm says the comeback stems from the minimal reaction Wall Street has had to disappointing corporate earnings over the past few weeks.
- Investors made huge bets against volatility in 2017 as levels of market turmoil remained historically low, but some of those bets blew up in spectacular fashion a year ago.
- JPMorgan equity derivatives strategist Shawn Quigg says there are other factors that are likely to put downard pressure on volatility over the longer term.

I hired Elaine and I Love Photography to take a set of professional headshots for my new business. Everything went great and she grabbed a few shots that I love.
Nancy took acting headshots for me. She was warm, friendly, encouraging and helped me relax into the shoot. I am so happy with my headshots, and look forward to working with Nancy again, whenever I need photographic services. Great pictures!!!
Dave was great! I got my headshots taken by him. Very professional and inexpensive for the quality that he gives. I had the edited pictures before the end of the day and overall very, very satisfied and happy with my photos.
Couldn't have gone better. Beautiful photos, some of the best headshots I've ever had. Mark did a great job putting me at ease and helped me to have a fantastic time!
We hired Dan to do some corporate headshots for us. He was a good communicator, showed up on time, was very professional and friendly, and had the completed work back as scheduled. He willingly did some minor edits as requested. Would hire again!
Elle was fabulous! Our company needed some headshots for marketing materials and Elle delivered. She was very accommodating to all of our requests, and had the finished product for us in a timely manor. Elle's personality is fantastic. Loved the end result.
Great photographer and made me feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the experience. Definitely recommend for someone looking for headshots.
Thank you, Matthias! We had a great experience with Orfield Photography coming to our office in Bloomington to take headshots. Matthias was very quick to respond to our messages and we even got the proofs back the next day. Great service!
I worked with Courtney for a professional headshot for web/print marketing use. She was responsive to my questions, understood our needs/requirements, and was easy to schedule and deal with. She turned around the finished product sonner than asked. The attorney I sent her was pleased with the finished product.
I hired Give It A Think when I needed social media art for my theatrical production. Maruggi created my videos, took headshots, and assisted me in marketing. The quality of his work is superb. And a joy to work alongside - creative and enthusiastic. A win situation. Highly recommended.
Andrew was very accommodating to all the last minute changes and additions I had for my corporate event. He understood all the tasks I gave him which included candid photos of networking, speakers in action during their presentations, headshots of my incoming Board members amongst other items. He checked in regularly with his shots to make sure he was getting what I needed and had all the equipment to get the quality photographs. I would absolutely hire him again when in the Minnesota area.
Marla had great ideas for out the box photos. We got so many great looks hard to pick out a favorite. She has booked a hair commercial from one of the pictures
Dann photographed well over 100 headshots for our charity organization. The images were exactly what we asked for, everyone loved them and loved working with Dann! We can’t wait to have him back again!
Todd took my headshots and I could not be more pleased with the way things turned out. It was a personal and creative experience and I would recommend him to anyone looking for unique, quality, and beautiful photographs.
Steve was professional and responded very quickly to my inquiries. I was able to schedule and take my headshots within a few days. He was very friendly, so I felt quite comfortable getting my picture take. He recommended having the photo shoot at Gyeongbok Palace, and the photos turned out great! I highly recommend Steve and hope to have a chance to work with him again myself.
Brandon was an absolute joy to work with. He was very professional and prompt with delivering his final product, but he was also really generous with his time and I felt very comfortable while he was taking pictures of me. He was good about listening to my ideas, but also gave me his professional opinion and direction when we were taking the headshots. I absolutely loved the final product; I would hire him again in a heartbeat. He is hard working, talented, and creative.
I was very pleased with his work when Steve took my headshots. He confidently presents his knowledge and craft behind the camera.
I needed professional headshots for my business as well as pictures from my event to use on my website. Celisia was prompt, professional and provided quality pictures that I was proud to display on my company webpage. Will definitely use her again.
Sarah has a special talent to calm my nerves so she was able to take fantastic photos of me. It was so hard to choose which one i liked best that I ended up ordering two!
We utilized Maris to do corporate headshots for our team. She was efficient and everyone was thrilled with how their pictures turned out. She was timely in sending the images for us to review and equally quick with providing our final images. Overall we were thrilled.
New To Thumbtack
I'm looking for people who want to say goodbye to traditional, boring, headshots with out-to-lunch expressions. Join me and say hello to engaging headshots that make you stand out from the crowd.


Tent Stake Super Puller – 3/4″ – 1 1/4″ Stakes
The JackJaw® 502 Tent Stake Super Puller (with adjustable base) is the fast, easy and safe way to pull 3/4″ to 1 1/4″ tent stakes or rebar from hard soil conditions or stakes longer than 42″. These hard soil conditions generally result from tight kalichi clay (found in Arizona) or frozen ground. The JackJaw® 502 is your answer when facing hard conditions for pulling tent stakes.
Protect Your Investments – People, Stakes and Equipment
This tent stake super puller extracts posts straight out of any surface. The JackJaw® 502 tent stake super puller is a rugged all steel puller that weighs 39 pounds. In addition, it’s patented jaw mechanism provides a positive grip that prevents back and shoulder strain of operators that results from the whiplash of other pullers. Because it helps eliminate back injuries, the JackJaw® stake super puller may also help you lower your worker’s compensation EMR.
In addition, you no longer need an expensive bobcat and 3 guys or a heavy cumbersome hydraulic system to pull tent stakes. One guy can do the job! With the easy assembly, capabilities for mobility and ease of use, the JackJaw® 502 stands out as the premier tent stake puller in the market.
The sturdy lever arm gives you a 28 to 1 mechanical advantage. A 100lb down force on the handle generates a 2800lb upward force and a 5600lb gripping force on the post. The mechanical advantage of the puller is 20 to 1 when the handle is retracted. Tilted stakes? No problem! Just lean the JackJaw® tent stake puller to align with the stake.
Adjustable Base – Stake Adapter
With the optional stake adapter (AC0009), the JackJaw®502 tent stake puller easily pulls stakes from stake bars or flat base plates used in clear span tents. Watch the video showing how to raise the base to pull stakes in stake bar systems.
Stake width / Grip Width is 3/4″ to 1 1/4″
Made to Last!
JackJaw® tent stake pullers are produced in Dayton, Ohio from heavy gauge steel plate, and tubing to withstand everyday job site use. JackJaw® units have a zinc and clear chromate plating for long lasting durability and corrosion resistance. The easily replaceable jaws (CA0006 jaw kit) are case hardened AR400 steel for long wear.

ENGIE and Equitix have secured a contract with the University of Birmingham to transform Pritchatts Park student accommodation village into a state-of-the-art low carbon campus
The project involves the creation of 496 new highly energy-efficient student homes and an accompanying 482-space modular construction multi-storey car park.
The new accommodation will be constructed in the form of townhouses to complement existing buildings in the surrounding area.
A key element in the design of the new facilities is energy efficiency. 734 existing rooms will benefit from an extensive refurbishment, bringing them up to modern standards.
The overall scheme will be powered and heated entirely through electricity – with the refurbished building heated by air source heat pumps – which the consortium has pledged will be from 100% renewable sources.
The new multi-storey car park will also feature 24 electric vehicle charge points, with infrastructure in place for a further 72 in the future.
Building work is set to begin in the summer, with completion expected in August 2023.
ENGIE will undertake 50-year facilities management and lifecycle works contracts, providing ongoing repairs, security and cleaning services to support the day-to-day lives of the student residents.
The project sees ENGIE continue its partnership with Equitix, who will be the lead equity partner in the project, following the success of similar developments for the University of Leicester and Kingston University.
ENGIE and the University of Birmingham will also take equity stakes in Pritchatts Park.
Enhancing attractiveness, providing high-quality housing
Simon Bray, director of Campus Services at the University of Birmingham said: “The University’s overriding objective is to enhance its attractiveness to students, and positively impact recruitment and retention, through providing high-quality housing that meets their needs and expectations, now and in the future.
“The plans to expand Pritchatts Park will play a key role in providing the infrastructure to help deliver this vision. We are delighted to be working with ENGIE and Equitix.”
Jake Fellows, divisional development director for ENGIE UK & Ireland, said: “This is an exciting project for ENGIE, as it gives us the opportunity to showcase our wide-ranging placemaking capabilities across energy, services and regeneration, as well as demonstrating our long-term commitment through the investment model.
“It’s also great that we can continue our strong partnership with Equitix, which is already having such a positive impact in Leicester and Kingston.
“The University of Birmingham is one of the UK’s most highly-ranked institutions, so we’re delighted to have been chosen to create market-leading accommodation that is highly sustainable and equipped to meet the university’s ever-growing demand for places, as well as providing the best experience possible for the students who decide to call it home.”

USDA Information Collections on Poultry, Farm Equipment Imports Under Review
The Department of Agriculture’s Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service is requesting comments no later than Dec. 12 on the following information collections.
• Importation of Poultry Meat and Other Poultry Products from Sinaloa and Sonora, Mexico – APHIS currently has regulations in place that restrict the importation of poultry meat and other poultry products from Mexico due to the presence of exotic Newcastle disease. However, APHIS does allow the importation of poultry meat and poultry products from the Mexican states of Sinaloa and Sonora because it poses a negligible risk of introducing END into the United States. To ensure that these items are safe for importation, APHIS requires that certain data appear on the foreign meat inspection certificate that accompanies the poultry meat and other poultry products. APHIS also requires that serial numbered seals be applied to containers carrying these items.
• Foot-and-Mouth Disease; Prohibition on Importation of Farm Equipment – APHIS regulations prohibit the importation of used farm equipment from regions in which foot-and-mouth disease or rinderpest exist unless the equipment has been steam-cleaned prior to export to the U.S. so that it is free of exposed dirt and other particulate matter. APHIS collects information through a certification statement completed by the farm equipment exporter and signed by an authorized official of the national animal health service of the region of origin stating that the steam-cleaning of the equipment has been done.

Defeating Crayk, Bane of Courage:
At the beginning of your encounter with Crayak you will view the battle through his perspective. What you have to do is place Link in an area where Crayak can view him and wait for him to approach. Then shoot arrows at him and cracks will start appearing on his shell. Use your sword and attack him focusing on the damaged areas of his shell and eventually the shell will completely crack exposing his back and tail which has a blue area you need to strike with your sword. To get Crayak to stop moving when you battle him fire arrows at his face so he reverts to his battle stance. When he does this quickly get behind him and attack the tail. Keep doing this until the battle is won.
Defeating Cylock, Master of Wind:
To defeat this boss which is in the sky you have to send bombs up using the whirlwinds to bring it down. The easiest way to do this to send a bomb up a whirlwind which is in the same area as the creatures shadow. When a bomb hits this boss it will crash to the ground where you then attack it with your sword. Keep repeating this process until it is defeated but remember to roll to out of the way every time it plummets to the ground.
Defeating Diabolical Cubus Sisters:
Use your sword to deflect the Energy Ball your enemies throw at you and follow it's path back with your eyes. When the battle is nearly won and almost all your enemies have been defeated other projectiles will also be thrown at you. Ignore these and keep defelecting the Energy Ball back until the battle is won.
Defeating Blaaz, Master of Fire:
At the beginning of the battle this boss will split into three smaller enemies. Using the boomerang you have to connect them up again. Keep an eye on the top of the screen and the number of horns that the three sprites have when they make contact. The sequence when connecting them is 1 horn, 2 horns and then 3 horns. When the sprites have been connected and have formed one enemy again quickly attack it with your sword. Keep repeating this process until the boss is defeated.
When you are confronted with a group of Pirate ships destroy them and you will notice that the last ship you destroyed in the group will leave a red 'X' on the map. Go to this location to salvage treasure.
Sup! I don't have an acount but I will adress my self as epicdamien,ok?
Ok when you fight bellum you have 2 lock swords.
You have 2 wack him like crazy then when he sidesteps you turn and continue wackin him then when you beat at the sword lock you gotta wack 'em do what you gotta do to hurt him like a psychomaniac!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then he starts doing spiin attacks!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lots of people have been wonderin how to counter this attack! So I decided to figure it out,and I did it! Ok so in order to counter it you must do a spin attack when he gets really close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope I helped! Epicdamien is out!
P.s.please don't be bpthered that I am a guest and I use a nickname!
This isn't really a cheat, more a random glitch. I found it myself, but I bet other people have found it. Anyway,here's how to do it.
1. Go into the Ocean Temple.
2. Get to the third floor.
3. Grab a Force gem. (it would be best to get the one on the bottom right)
4. Kill the Phantom with the key.(drop him down a hole) he will drop the key. Hold the force gem, and walk on to the key. You'll get it, and link will do his normal pose, but the force gem will sort of sit on his head.
5. Do whatever the heck you want. Lol
Hope you enjoyed using this glitch. (If you did|) it works every time.
PS: I've found a few others, and will post them once I remember/find them again.
PPS: PLEASE THUMBS UP
PPPS: This glitch was not copied in any way.
Try to trap a chicken then attack it for around 4-5 times, then the chicken will turn red an it will call it's friends to attack you by flying towards you. A great way to die. :D
What you need: swordsman scroll
fire sword lvl. 2
and link (you)
Ok when you freeze time in the last fight with linebeck (a.k.a belumbeck to me)
Use the super spin and with at least 6 hits with the spin if you can do it just right he will die in under a minuete I tried it once and it worked
Read above it looks like a ds and shaped like a ds on a ds game go to the southern part of the southeastern sea east of the goron island it has the gorons on it there is a mini game here and you can get prizes I got a blue rupee an upgraded bombchu bag and a big green rupee also there is treasure (get your shovel out) CAUTION: when you dig there will be no rupoors but there will be rupees or (dun dun dun) bees or snakes
When in a room full of phantoms or reaplings, go into a safe zone and pound with the hammer. Make sure it is huge. The phantom/reapling will hear it and rush over. Make the hammer huge again and whack it. It should now have stars spinning around his head, and will not see you or chase you for 5-10 seconds. You can use it unlimited times. This is useful for dungeons with many phantoms. Hope this helped!
At the isles of dead,go to the pyrimid where the guy died.hookshot the 2 sighs
When you are on the other side.bounce off and you can jump a cliff that isnt on the map.
I hope you find this a weard thing
Ok, if you corner a chicken anywhere in the game, start attacking with slash or stab attack (slashi sword horizontally or vertically), it won't work with a homing attack. Anyway, if you attack and hit it 4 times, it will turn red and start following and attacking you. But that is not the end of it. A bunch of chickens will be flying around, and if one touches you, you lose 1/2 a heart. It's fun to do, but not very helpful.
Let me know what you think. A lazy gamer, Marthmaniac.
OK you want money quick and fast in this game.Go to gust island and there will be a bunch of those little purple and Grey guys all around the island. Kill them all to make hundreds, because every time you kill a group of those Grey things you get 20 rupees.
First go to Mercay Island now go to the highest place on the island(the darkest on the map)go to the part that is sticking out towars the east go on the south part of this part of the landform and place a bomb a cave will open enter it and go east and exit you will be on a mini island go up and talk to the person with a guitar and talk to him/her/and he/she will go on yammering about magic boxes.This is Tag Mode now talk to a box and put something in that you don't want and you will have activated Tag Mode now press a button on the southern part of the island to extend a bridge making it easyer to come and go no when you choose your save file it will say:Adventure Battle and Tag Mode
I hoped this helped at all,
To do the vertical slice, put your pen in front of link and schetch towards him but don't do it behind him or it won't work(its just like doing a horizontal slice)...
On Mercay Island, at the docks, there are a lot of chickens running around. If you manage to catch one (lead it into a corner so it can't escape) tap it to pick it up. Next go to the south-west corner of the docks and there is a little island over some water. If you walk into the sea carrying the chicken you can glide across to the island and go up the steps there is a treasure chest up there.

During software development. A safety PLC requires additional software testing techniques. To verify the data integrity checking, a series of fault injection test software must be running. The program is deliberately broken to ensure that the PLC to respond in a predictable safe. Design and testing software is fully documented so that third-party inspector to understand the operation of the PLC. While most software development does not justify this activity, precisely how the errors of the most dangerous software design is revealed.
There are certainly many similarities between the safety of a conventional PLC and Safety PLC. Both have the ability to perform mathematical calculations and logic. Both usually have input and output (I / O) modules that provide them with the ability to interpret signals from sensors and process control elements running late. Both will scan the input, perform calculations and write the output. Both usually have a digital communication port. However, PLC was originally not designed to be a fault tolerance and fail-safe. That's the fundamental difference.
The realization that many users of conventional controllers cannot be relied upon in critical protection applications creates the need for safety PLC. High standards for design safety PLC manufacture, and installation. Something that is less those high standards will be considered irresponsible, if not negligent, from the point, professional business and social perspective.

If you’ve been feeling a little unhappy lately, you’re not alone.
According to a new Provincial COVID-19 Misery Index from the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, Alberta is Canada’s most miserable province.
The index considers pandemic-related factors such as slow or poor response from government, lost jobs, and the spread of sickness and death from the virus itself.
- See also:
Divided into three main categories, the index captures “disease misery,” “response misery,” and “economic misery” impacts in each province by measuring 11 key metrics.
Metrics include cases of COVID-19 per 100,000 population, the number of deaths related to the virus, number of people receiving a vaccination, restrictive public health measures, and changes in unemployment, among others.
“Not surprisingly, the misery from COVID-19 has hit hardest in the provinces that have experienced the highest incidence rates of the virus,” reads the report.
Alberta ranked as the most miserable province in the country, earning a “D” score, while Ontario and Quebec came in second and third for unhappiness, respectively.
British Columbia placed as the fourth most miserable province, with a “C+”.
The Maritime provinces fared the best, and Prince Edward Island was rated least miserable with an “A+” score, followed by Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
Alberta was hit the hardest in the “economic misery” section, receiving high scores in each of the category’s factors except GDP change. The province did slightly better for “response misery,” with a particularly low misery score in the number of vaccinations per population.
Under the “disease misery” section, Alberta received high misery scores for both cases per 100,000 population and excess mortality.
At a national level, Canada ranked as the fifth most miserable out of 15 countries around the world, while the US came in seventh for unhappiness.
Spain scored the highest in the global rankings, earning the title of the least happy country on the COVID-19 Misery Index.

Water heaters are essential appliances in any home, providing hot water for various purposes. However, if you've ever heard a loud knocking noise from your water heater, you know it can be a cause for concern. In this article, we'll explore the possible reasons for this knocking noise and provide solutions to fix the problem.
Over time, sediment can accumulate at the bottom of your water heater tank. This sediment can cause the heating element to become covered, leading to an imbalance in the water temperature. This imbalance causes the water to boil and produces steam bubbles, eventually collapsing, creating a loud knocking noise.
Solution: To fix this issue, you can drain and flush your water heater tank to remove the sediment buildup. It is recommended to do this annually to prevent sediment accumulation.
Water hammer is a phenomenon where the water in the pipes hits against a closed valve, causing a loud banging noise. This problem is often noticed when the water is turned off quickly, causing a sudden pressure surge in the pipes.
Solution: Installing a water hammer arrestor can help to prevent this problem. This device absorbs the pressure surge, preventing the water from hitting against the valve.
If the knocking noise is coming from the top of the water heater, it may be due to a loose heating element. This element can vibrate against the metal cover, producing a loud knocking noise.
Solution: Tightening the heating element with a wrench can fix this issue.
High water pressure can cause a variety of plumbing problems, including knocking noises in the water heater. This pressure can cause the water to move too quickly through the pipes, leading to vibrations and noise.
Solution: Installing a pressure-reducing valve can help to lower the water pressure and prevent knocking noises.
If you're experiencing loud knocking noises from your water heater, there are several possible causes. In this article, we've discussed sediment buildup, water hammer, loose heating elements, and high water pressure as common reasons for this problem. We've also provided solutions to fix these issues, including draining and flushing the tank, installing a water hammer arrestor, tightening the heating element, and installing a pressure-reducing valve. By addressing these issues, you can enjoy a quiet, efficient water heater that provides hot water whenever you need it.
In addition to the solutions mentioned above, there are a few other tips you can follow to help keep your water heater running quietly:
Insulating the hot and cold water pipes can help to reduce noise by preventing them from vibrating against other surfaces. This can be especially useful if the pipes are in a location that amplifies the sound, such as a crawl space or a basement.
The anode rod is an important component of the water heater that helps to prevent corrosion. If the anode rod is corroded, it can cause loud popping or cracking noises. Checking the anode rod and replacing it if necessary can help to prevent this problem.
Regular maintenance of your water heater can help to prevent problems before they occur. This includes annual tank flushing to remove the sediment buildup and check the heating element, pressure relief valve, and other components for signs of wear or damage.
A water heater is an essential appliance in any home, and a loud knocking noise can be a cause for concern. By understanding the possible causes of this problem, such as sediment buildup, water hammer, loose heating elements, and high water pressure, you can take steps to fix the issue and enjoy a quiet, efficient water heater. Additionally, by following the tips for maintaining a quiet water heater, you can prevent problems before they occur and ensure that your water heater continues to provide hot water for your needs.

They can choose gear, far too, from the catalog, that they will use in the game, and also various other packages that can help these individuals when they start playing. If your child subscribes to Roblox and turns into a member, they can also have arms, legs, and torsos that are made and created by the company which will distinguish their characters from non people who still have access to all the features of the package. If your child is very proud of their creation, then simply he or she can have it for the Roblox list and if it can be liked by other characters and players, then it can become a part of the catalog as well and various people can pick it later on.
Roblox provides over eight million types of games that child may roblox hack participate in. Your kid will get to decide on a genre for the spot in which they might play the overall game and they can pick pieces to produce from that were definitely already crafted or can create custom sides where they can play using block layout elements they will create planets from that in many cases are maze like.

The essays collected in this volume are based on a conference that was held in August 2015 at Fordham University in New York City and organized by Professor Lawrence Kramer, who as a long-term member of its executive board had invited the International Association for Word and Music Studies (WMA) to participate in it. The topic of the conference was “Music, Narrative and the Moving Image”, which implied an extension of subject area beyond WMA’s customary concern with aural and linguistic phenomena. This extension took account of both the conspicuous dominance of visual perception in the present cultural climate and the fact that the contemporary media world is characterised by an increased variety of media active on the scene which enter into ever more lively intermedial interaction. Thus, in the conference proceedings here collected, besides the obvious leading multimedia artform of the time, film – which is covered from the silent cinema era to most recent cases –, there are television, music videos, book illustrations and woodcuts treated among the visual media and genres; theatrical forms discussed are plays, operas, including “revolutionary” Peking opera, ballet, and even such rare forms as cabaret spectacles with shadow plays; among the literary genres, narrative fiction and poetry are discussed, as is instrumental music in various formations; and among the musico-literary forms, an emphasis on songs is noticeable.
The great variety of subject areas treated in the papers read at the conference is a challenge for finding a convincing structure to present them in the collection at hand. Nonetheless, the structure chosen has hopefully sufficient inherent logic. The natural major area of interest covered in the essays is film music. In some of the cases discussed the emphasis is on theoretical issues, concentrating on the various functions of music in film (Part 1, Section 1: “Film Music: Reflections on Functions”); while others offer an interesting range of diversified case studies of the use of film music (Part 1, Section 2: “Film Music: Significant Intermedial Cases”); a third section deals with the interaction of words, music and the moving image in media other than film (Part 2: “Intermedial Varieties”); and the fourth and last section addresses cases of intermedial transpositions that involve visual, aural and verbal aspects (Part 3: “Remediations”).
Nonetheless, alternative structures could have been found, as there are various other concerns that recur in several essays and may have formed separate groups. Thus a number of essays discuss narrative functions – on top of those found in Part 1, Section 1 by Werner Wolf, Saskia Jaszoltowski, and Jordan Stokes – and include contributions by Christopher Booth, Heidi Hart, Ruth
In the discussion of functions of music in film (Part 1, Section 1), Lawrence Kramer’s pivotal essay (“Music’s Body and the Moving Image”) assigns music in film the vital function of establishing body images, which are missing in moving images without sound, and thereby reflects a prevalent contemporary concern in musical scholarship with embodiment. In a similar direction, Saskia Jaszoltowski’s contribution (“Disturbing Silences and Open Narratives: Musical Gaps in Fictional and Documentary Moving Images”) thematizes the “ghostly effect” of soundless cinema and discusses various functions of the presence or absence of the acoustic dimension in diversified – narrative and non-narrative – forms of moving images. Werner Wolf in his essay (“Traditional and Non-Traditional Uses of Film Music, and Musical Metalepsis in The Truman Show”) contrasts traditional commercial Hollywood practices of establishing real-life illusions, including emotion-centred functions of music, with postmodernist practices that entail the blurring of ontological levels and the exceptional introduction of musical metalepsis. Jordan Carmalt Stokes (“Homer and the Springfield Orchestra Bus: Four Test Cases for Any Future Challenge to the Diegetic/Non-Diegetic Model”) offers a well-balanced argument for how to meet the challenges repeatedly expressed against the so-called “narratological model” of the distinction between diegetic and non-diegetic music in film.
The earliest example discussed of “Significant Intermedial Cases” of film music (Part 1, Section 2) concerns early Italian cinema of the 1910s. Bernhard Kuhn (“Operatic Plurimediality in Italian Silent Cinema: Nino Oxilia and Pietro Mascagni’s Rapsodia Satanica (1915)”) analyses Rapsodia Satanica as a Wagner-related film with recognizable intermedial references to high-art and the purpose of enhancing the cultural status of cinema at the time. With a similar objective, as discussed by Walter Bernhart (“Humanized Documentary, ‘Light’
In the first essay of Part 2 (“Intermedial Varieties”), Peter Dayan (“Shadow Images Moving to Music: La Tentation de saint Antoine in Montmartre”) takes the reader to the world of 1880s Parisian theatre and discusses an exceptional case of the relationship between music, word and image in the spectacle and book versions of a cabaret shadow play. Marion Recknagel’s essay “‘The Big Turnaround in the Middle’: On the Silent Movie and the Film Music Interlude in Alban Berg’s Opera Lulu” analyses the various dramaturgical functions of the silent film with accompanying music that Berg placed at a pivotal position in the middle of his unfinished 1930s opera Lulu. Frieder von Ammon (“All the Pieces Matter: On Complex TV Music”) investigates the use of music in ‘Quality TV’ since the 1980s and observes a decisive shift from earlier TV series in terms of a significant enhancement of sophistication in ‘Quality TV’ series. Emily Petermann’s focus in her essay “The Music Videos of Alternative Rock Band They Might Be Giants: Prolegomena for a Theory of Nonsense across Media” concentrates on nonsense as a phenomenon that finds coordinated parallel expression in some examples of the multimedial form of the American music video since the 1980s.
In the initial essay of Part 3 (“Remediations”) by Axel Englund (“Thrilling Opera: Conflicts of the Mind and the Media in Kasper Holten’s Juan”), a highly creative transposition of Mozart/da Ponte’s opera Don Giovanni into a complex combination of filmed live opera and movie thriller demonstrates the hazards of mixing media in the adaptive process. Alla Bayramova’s essay “Novel, Woodcuts, Film, Music …: Pondering over the Title of Gara Garayev’s Symphony
As is agreeably customary, thanks are due to be expressed in a preface of this kind. I gladly thank my co-editor David Urrows for being a helpful second pair of eyes and ever prudently critical co-evaluator. My gratitude also goes to Larry Kramer for making the whole project possible by inviting us to Fordham and guaranteeing the congenial atmosphere for successful academic performance and proficiency. Self-evidently thanks deserve to go to all the contributors who have shown exceptional patience and spirit of cooperation in the long editorial process of turning the essays into a publisher-suitable shape. Of the publishing company, it is above all Masja Horn, Brill Acquisitions Editor for Literature and Cultural Studies, who deserves high praise and lots of thanks for being a constant source of support and encouragement in making the book finally see the light of day. I wish the book a wide attentive and sympathetic readership.

Ninth Circuit Will Not Reconsider Ruling Reviving Suit Against Gun Makers
By DAVID WATSON, Staff Writer
Over the objections of eight judges, the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has voted not to reconsider en banc a decision that reinstated a lawsuit seeking to hold gun makers and a distributor responsible for the 1999 shootings by white supremacist Buford Furrow in the San Fernando Valley.
An order issued Friday noted that a majority of the court’s nonrecused active judges did not vote in favor of reviewing the 2-1 panel decision in the case. Though the vote was not announced, eight judges joined in one or both of two dissents which argued the suit was properly dismissed by U.S. District Judge Audrey Collins of the Central District of California.
The court has 26 active judges, plus two vacancies.
Judge Consuelo M. Callahan said that Judge Richard A. Paez, who wrote the majority decision for the three-judge panel in November, relied on a “creative interpretation” of California law to decide that liability was not barred by a since-repealed statute immunizing gun manufacturers in products liability actions. Paez said that law did not address the plaintiffs’ theories of negligent marketing and distribution.
If California law were “so unsettled” as to permit the interpretation adopted by Paez and Judge Sidney Thomas, Callahan declared, the proper course for the Ninth Circuit would have been to certify questions to the state’s Supreme Court for guidance.
Paez said Glock Inc. and China North Industries Corp., as well as Glock distributors RSR Management Corporation and RSR Wholesale Guns Seattle Inc., could be held liable for negligence and for creating a public nuisance if the plaintiffs can prove that they knew their products were being sold in the “secondary market” to persons who had no legal right to own them, and took no steps to prevent this, or that they deliberately oversaturated the legal market with the knowledge that an illegal secondary market would thereby be created.
“The critical feature of these claims is their breadth,” Callahan wrote. “—Glock is not alleged to have done anything illegal. Rather, its liability is based on a theory that it failed to reduce profits because it allegedly knew (or a factfinder might find that it should have known) that its heightened output (all of which is legally sold) created a surplus in a secondary market, which Glock allegedly knew was utilized by ‘criminals and underage end users.’ How many other manufacturers or distributors of products that find their way into California will be burdened with similar allegations?”
The suit was originally brought in Los Angeles Superior Court, but was removed to the federal court by China North as an entity primarily owned or controlled by the Chinese government. The plaintiffs were the mother of letter carrier Joseph Ileto and the parents of three children shot by Furrow at a Jewish day camp in Granada Hills.
Ileto, a 39-year-old Filipino American, was shot nine times as he worked his Chatsworth route. He was the only one of Furrow’s victims to die in the August 1999 rampage.
About an hour before encountering the postal worker, Furrow fired more than 70 times into the North Valley Jewish Community Center, which was packed with children attending camp. Three young boys, a teenage girl working as a counselor, and a woman were hurt.
Furrow fled to Las Vegas where he surrendered the next day, announcing he had intended to send a “wake-up call to America to kill Jews.” He pled guilty in order to avoid a federal death sentence, and is serving life in prison without parole.
Under Paez’s reasoning, Callahan said, “General Motors could be sued by someone who was hit by a Corvette that had been stolen by a juvenile. The plaintiff would allege that General Motors knew that cars that can greatly exceed the legal speed limit are dangerous, and through advertising and by offering discounts, it increased the attractiveness of the car and the number of Corvettes on the road and thus increased the likelihood that a juvenile would steal a Corvette and operate it in a injurious manner.”
The panel dissent authored by Senior Judge Cynthia Holcomb Hall, Callahan said, “explains why the California Supreme Court would not rule in the manner theorized by the panel.”
Paez’s effort to distinguish Merrill v. Navegar, Inc. (2001) 26 Cal.4th 465, in which the state high court held that the immunity statute barred an action seeking damages from the manufacturer of the automatic assault weapons used by Gian Luigi Ferri to kill eight people at a San Francisco law office in 1993, misrepresented California law by “conflating duty, which is a question of law, with foreseeability,” Callahan asserted.
“Under California law,” she explained, “the concept of duty in an action alleging common law negligence is a multi-pronged inquiry, and is not limited to determining the foreseeability of harm to the plaintiffs—.Moreover, under negligence law, a defendant has no duty to control the conduct of a third party, absent a special relationship between the defendant and the third party.”
Paez’s opinion also “improperly uses product liability concepts of causation to determine that Glock’s alleged encouragement of the secondary market was the cause of the underlying injuries,” Callahan said.
She went on to argue that Paez’s interpretation of California nuisance law was equally faulty.
“Nuisance cases have uniformly required some property to be protected against the nuisance,” she said.
Judges Alex Kozinski, Diarmuid F. O’Scannlain, Andrew J. Kleinfeld, Ronald M. Gould, Richard C. Tallman, Jay S. Bybee, and Carlos T. Bea joined in the dissent authored by Callahan. All but Tallman and Bybee also joined a brief separate dissent authored by Kozinski.
“Imposing novel tort theories on economic activity significantly affects the risks of engaging in that activity, and thus alters the cost and availability of the activity within the forum jurisdiction,” Kozinski wrote. “In effect, it is a form of regulation administered through the courts rather than the state’s regulatory agencies. It is, moreover, a peculiarly blunt and capricious method of regulation....Courts should therefore be chary of adopting broad new theories of liability, lest they undermine the democratic process through which the people normally decide whether, and to what degree, activities should be fostered or discouraged within the state.”
The case is Ileto v. Glock Inc., 02-56197.

Downtown Wilmington Portrait Photographer | Adam & Anita
I met Anita and Adam in downtown Wilmington on a very rainy morning to get some photos of the two of them while they were visiting town on a weekend getaway. I have nothing but admiration for the two of them while they walked around with me in a pretty consistent drizzle (and by the end, a very near downpour) and they trusted me to get great photos even in spite of the ever-changing Wilmington tropical storms. It’s been quite a challenge to get photos done lately, especially when I so commonly work with couples and families who are visiting town and only have a short number of days to get photos done. So THANK YOU both for being so positive and for working with me in non-ideal situations. But I’d like to believe we got some AMAZING photos and I had so much fun walking around in the mist with Adam and Anita! I hope to get to see you both again next time you’re in town!
