The Penguins are coming off a 4-3 shootout win against the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday, their closest game of the streak. The Penguins have won four consecutive games against the Sabres, outscoring them 17-2 in that stretch. That includes a 5-0 win Nov. 1 in Pittsburgh.
"Our special teams have been very good," Penguins coach Mike Johnston said. "If you look at the last six or seven games our special teams have been good. We got out of the gate, got some confidence early, which is very important as you know. If you look around the League, if you come out of the gate well you tend to get that confidence that you need. Those are a couple of the factors. And then now we're getting secondary scoring. We were searching for that early and we've started to get secondary scoring."

Jason Nahrung's great-great-grandfather, a bootmaker, came to Australia from Germany in 1858, and Jason grew up on a Queensland cattle property. After leaving home he worked for some twenty years as a journalist in Brisbane. During his time with the Courier Mail he reviewed books, music and live entertainment, and one stage won a William Atheling Jnr award for Criticism or Review in the area of speculative fiction. In addition to being a member of the Vision writers group and the Writers on the Edge critique circle, Nahrung has been the editor of the Queensland Writers Centre’s magazine Writing Queensland. He has also had a novel, The Darkness Within (2007) and a number of short stories published.
During his career Nahrung has been highly commended in the Aurealis Awards, been shortlisted in the Ditmars and the Australian Shadows and the recipient of the 2012 Chronos award for Best Fan Writer. In 2004 he was also engaged as director of the Aurealis Awards, and has since served on various judging panels.
Nahrung was awarded a Master of Arts in creative writing in 2008. He now lives in Melbourne as a freelance editor and manuscript appraiser with his wife, the author Kirstyn McDermott.
'Kevin Matheson works at his family’s service station in the Queensland outback. Life is all about cricket, fishing, the pub, his girlfriend. Then it all gets blown to hell – Kevin is caught up in a hideous, unbelievable world of cops and monsters in which two rival gangs of vampires vie for control, all while maintaining a charade of humanity.
Kevin has to adapt to the destruction of his family and play the politics of the supernatural world. The biker Taipan and his lover Kala make for unlikely allies as they lead the nomadic Night Riders in their fight to be free of the control of the Brisbane-based Von Schiller group, led by the ruthless Mira and her pack of blood-addicted human servants.
Caught between vicious bikers and their brutal foes from the coast, Kevin fights to save not only those he holds dearest, but his own soul. In a world without rules, only one thing holds true – blood really is thicker than water' [Source: Xoum website]

The studies on effects of pulsed electric fields on insulin molecular are meaningful for explaining the mechanism of biological effects of electromagnetic fields. The experiment results demonstrate that the conformation of insulin molecular has been altered by electric fields exposure for 30 minutes or by heat exposure for 50 hours. The results suggest that pulsed electric field exposure as heat exposure will after conformation of insulin molecular by breaking some hydrogen bonds and recombining another hydrogen bonds.

The rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have raised discussions about its impact on the future of work. While there is no doubt that AI will transform the job landscape, the changes don’t necessarily imply negative outcomes. AI has the potential to both replace certain jobs and create new ones. In this article, we will explore the dynamics of AI in the job market and explore what jobs AI is likely to replace and create.
The Impact of AI on Jobs
AI is not just a buzzword. It is a powerful technological force that is reshaping industries and job roles. It is important to understand that AI is not here to entirely eliminate human jobs but to augment and transform them. Many routine, repetitive, and rule-based tasks are the primary candidates for automation by AI. This can lead to increased efficiency and productivity in the workplac
Jobs AI is Likely to Replace
Repetitive Tasks: Jobs that involve monotonous, repetitive tasks are at the greatest risk. These include data entry, routine customer service inquiries, and assembly line work.
Routine Data Analysis: AI can process and analyse great amounts of data much faster than humans. Jobs involving simple data analysis may become redundant.
Administrative Roles: Tasks such as scheduling, document management, and appointment booking can be automated, reducing the need for administrative positions.
Basic Customer Support: Basic customer support demands can be handled by chatbots and virtual assistants, reducing the need for human agents in these roles.
Manufacturing and Agriculture: Robots and AI-powered machinery have already begun to replace human workers in sectors such as manufacturing and agriculture. They are taking over tasks such as harvesting crops and assembling products.
Jobs AI is Likely to Create
AI and Machine Learning Specialists: As AI systems become more complex, there is a growing demand for experts who can design, develop, and maintain AI systems.
Data Analysts and Scientists: With the increasing use of AI, there is a need for professionals who can gather, clean, and interpret data for AI applications.
AI Trainers and Ethicists: Humans are needed to train and ensure the ethical use of AI systems. This includes data annotation, bias detection, and ethical AI consulting.
Robotics Engineers and Technicians: As robots become more adaptable, there will be a demand for engineers and technicians to design, build, and maintain them.
Creative and Innovative Roles: Jobs that require creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving are less likely to be automated. These include artists, designers, and innovation managers.
Preparing for the AI-Driven Future
As AI continues to evolve, it is crucial for individuals to adapt and stay competitive in the job market. Here are some steps to consider:
Invest in learning new skills, especially those related to AI and data analysis. Many online courses and certifications are available to help you acquire these skills. Additionally, develop a growth mindset and remain open to change. Embrace new technologies and stay updated on industry trends.
Moreover, enhance your creative and critical thinking abilities, as these are traits that AI struggles to replicate. What’s more, if you work in AI-related fields, consider the ethical implications of your work and strive to develop responsible AI solutions. Last but not least, commit to lifelong learning. The job market will continue to evolve, and staying informed and adaptable is key.
In conclusion, AI is set to bring about significant changes in the job market. While it will replace some jobs, it will also create new and exciting opportunities. Embracing the potential of AI and preparing for the future can help individuals and societies thrive in an AI-driven world. The future of work is AI, and it is up to us to shape it in a way that benefits us all.

Why are towels such a great choice when it comes to adding color: they’re available in every shade imaginable, are relatively inexpensive and super easy to swap out if you change your mind.
Marble bathroom insertions can definitely spice up your day. A play of materials helps define a sophisticated look, while the hidden and open storage spaces give the owner the possibility of carefully decorating the bathroom. An overcrowded design does no one good and it can interfere with the relaxation and coziness that should reign here.
Marble bathrooms in darker colors can enhance the coziness effect and start you off with a smile. Designed by Canny, this chocolate marble bathroom design in Canterbury, Australia, surprises the need for a dark yet cozy and soothing private bathroom. Chocolate marble tiles and wooden furniture provide the natural visual background that beautifies your daily activities. So why not start each new day with a big smile on your face reflected in the bathroom mirror?
There’s no need to stare at unadorned walls in your bathroom. Treated canvas prints are water resistant and affordable. Go for oversized proportions for the best visual impact. For a unique look, have a local printer blow up a favorite photo into customized wall art. Nowadays, custom printers can create canvas prints and even laminate them for water resistance.

Crossposted from the Huffington Post
In his State of the Union address, President Obama laid out a strategy to rebuild America’s economy, calling on the country to “Out-innovate, out-educate, and out-build the rest of the world.” He laid out strategies for better education, better energy production, better transportation and better job creation. All of these strategies are key to a stronger American economy.
It is time we remember and take pride in the fact that “America is the nation that built the transcontinental railroad, brought electricity to rural communities, constructed the Interstate Highway System. The jobs created by these projects didn’t just come from laying down track or pavement. They came from businesses that opened near a town’s new train station or the new off-ramp.”
The President’s statement means we have to continue to expand our infrastructure and communities with an understanding of how the two connect and support one another, and that’s exactly what smart growth does. The big national decisions we make about budgets and investment can ultimately make life better in the towns and neighborhoods that knit this nation together.
Smart growth is about building neighborhoods that work for the people who live there — meaning rural, suburban and urban communities with more housing and transportation choices near jobs, shops and schools where people want them. These are places where strong economies and a healthy environment can both thrive at once. Places where community leaders choose to get the most out of each federal or state dollar invested in the neighborhoods. Where the private sector can help jump-start the local real estate market in a way that is right for that unique community. Where we make decisions to save money in our municipal budgets and in our own wallets and invest for the future.
One of the most quotable moments of last night’s speech was that “This is our generation’s Sputnik moment.” The original Sputnik moment was born of the Soviet launch of the eponymous satellite in October 1957. It was a wake-up call to Americans that they needed to be smarter about the space race.
Today, Americans need to be smarter about how we grow and rebuild our economy so that our neighborhoods and towns are economically strong, environmentally sound and great places to live. That is ultimately the promise of the American dream.
This way of thinking is already championed by Republicans and Democrats alike, in small towns across America, by business leaders and in the halls of the nation’s Capitol. Our opportunity and challenge now is to bring more leaders to the table to help build a stronger economy. Smart growth strategies work best when businesses, developers, community leaders and other collaborate and innovate together. That’s how better communities and better economies are created.
Americans won the space race because we rallied our resources and our visions. Now the time has come for us to focus our considerable energies and creativity toward making our towns and neighborhoods better and stronger. As the President said — we can do this. We are Americans, and we do big things.

The Škoda Roomster – an incredibly versatile family car – was first introduced into the market in 2006. This model can be described as the forerunner to the Yeti. Many of the mechanical components that make up this model are very familiar to the rest of the Volkswagen group range, including the chassis and powertrain, which were taken from the Fabia and Octavia models.
The vehicle was reported to have an issue with the smoothness of its clutch pedal operation. This required the gearbox to be removed and the clutch inspected to diagnose the fault and fix it.
Once in the workshop, the bonnet was opened, and the battery, battery tray and air cleaner assembly were removed to provide access to the top of the gearbox. This revealed the gear selector, clutch slave cylinder, starter motor and gearbox mounting.
First the gear selector cables were unclipped from the selector levers. Then, the three retaining bolts from the cable bracket were removed, and the cables were put to one side. Next, the plastic clip retaining the relay lever was carefully removed. After that, the selector lever was removed and unbolted. With this lever removed, the starter motor could be taken out. This supplies extra clearance when removing the gearbox. The lever shaft has a master spline – when it comes to refitting the lever, it can only be fitted in one position.
The clutch slave cylinder was unbolted and secured, followed by the reverse lamp switch wiring harness, leaving only the gearbox retaining bolts to be removed at this stage.
The engine was supported by an engine brace before the two bolts that hold the gearbox mount in place were removed. Then, the vehicle was raised to a working height.
The front wheels were removed. This was followed by the removal of both lower suspension arm swivel joint retaining bolts. The joints were freed from the hub assemblies and covered with a plastic cap to protect the rubber boot and thread from any potential damage.
The left-hand wheel arch liner followed this.
The inner driveshaft joint retaining bolts were unbolted. The driveshafts could then be pulled free from the drive flanges to provide ample clearance for the removal of the gearbox. The exposed driveshaft joints were wrapped in a plastic bag to stop any grit from entering the joint until they were ready to be refitted.

Here's how, apparently.
"It's like back before the Civil War when slaves had the right to buy their freedom," attorney Marv Robon argued. "A penalty of $4 million is almost like a slave from Africa trying to buy his freedom in America.As usual, the media gets the point wrong. Whomever wrote the article follows with
He's comparing a millionaire to slaves? Oh, come on.No, no, no. What's wrong is that he's comparing contract law with slavery!
Rodriguez' decision to sign a contract he now regrets is compared to a system in which people were stolen away from their families, packed into ships without proper food, ventilation, water, sanitation, etc., and sold them to other people who would keep them and their descendants enslaved in perpetuity unless one of those descendants happened to find himself in a situation in which he could earn the money to buy his freedom.
Yep, contract law and slavery--surprisingly similar. Wonder how that lawyer did in his contracts class in law school?

From Rockies to Richmond, Factory Optimism Booms in Fed SurveysBy
Expectations jump for orders, employment across four regions
Sentiment rising on heels of increase in equipment spending
What a difference three months has made across America’s manufacturing landscape.
Factories are brimming with confidence, marking an abrupt shift from a more than year-long slide tied to a collapse in oil prices, elevated inventories and tenuous global demand. Those developments have largely played out at about the same time President Donald Trump and a Republican-controlled Congress start hammering out legislation to lower corporate taxes and reduce regulations.
Neil Dutta, head of U.S. economics at Renaissance Macro Research LLC, says it’s mostly a product of fading disinflationary pressures and easier financial conditions. To get a sense of what’s going on at the nation’s producers, we turn to the latest regional manufacturing surveys from Federal Reserve banks.
First, this is how the playing field sets up for capital spending on machinery and other types of equipment. Up until the end of the year, it was pretty dismal in 2016. While some headwinds remain, factory managers have grown decidedly upbeat:
The pickup in fourth-quarter investment has given producers from the East Coast to Texas reason to expect demand will continue to firm. Sure, firmer oil and gas prices are behind some of the optimism in Dallas and Kansas City, whose district extends west to Wyoming, Colorado and northern New Mexico. But improvement in other regions of the country indicate something more favorable is occurring for manufacturers nationwide.
It’s not just expectations that are improving. More manufacturers in these Fed districts have reported increased bookings over the past three months. The Philadelphia Fed’s factory orders gauge jumped in January to the second-highest level since March 2011. In the Dallas Fed region, demand was the strongest since April 2014. The three-month point swing in orders at factories in the Richmond, Virginia, region matched the second-largest since mid-2009, when the economy was pulling free of the recession.
And all of this bodes well for job prospects for assembly-line workers. Gauges of the six-month employment outlook are soaring. The nation lost 45,000 factory positions in 2016, the first annual drop in seven years. A gauge of manufacturing job prospects in the Philadelphia Fed region advanced to the highest level since February 1984, while in the index for the Richmond area was the strongest since the survey began in November 1993.

A step-by-step guide on diagnosing and repairing the trouble code P0161 - Oxygen Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2 Sensor 2).
What is P0161?
P0161 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) that indicates a malfunction in the oxygen sensor heater circuit of the second downstream (rear) oxygen sensor on the second bank of a V-shaped engine. This DTC is often seen in vehicles that have been driven in cold weather, but it can also be triggered by a faulty oxygen sensor, wiring issues, or other electrical problems.
The first step in diagnosing P0161 is to check the oxygen sensor wiring and connectors for any signs of damage or corrosion. If the wiring and connectors look good, the next step is to check the voltage and resistance of the oxygen sensor heater circuit using a multimeter.
If the voltage and resistance are within the manufacturer's specifications, the problem is likely with the oxygen sensor itself. To confirm this, you can perform a visual inspection of the sensor to check for any signs of damage or contamination. If the sensor looks good, you can use a scan tool to monitor the sensor's output while the engine is running. If the sensor output is erratic or does not change as expected, it is likely faulty and should be replaced.
The most common fix for P0161 is to replace the faulty oxygen sensor. This involves disconnecting the wiring harness from the old sensor and unscrewing it from the exhaust system using a wrench or socket. The new sensor can then be screwed in place and the wiring harness reconnected.
If the oxygen sensor is not the problem, the next step is to check the wiring and connectors for continuity and proper voltage using a wiring diagram for the specific vehicle. Any damaged or corroded wiring or connectors should be repaired or replaced as needed.
In summary, P0161 is a diagnostic trouble code that indicates a malfunction in the oxygen sensor heater circuit of the second downstream (rear) oxygen sensor on the second bank of a V-shaped engine. Diagnosing and repairing this code involves checking the wiring and connectors, testing the voltage and resistance of the oxygen sensor heater circuit, and replacing the faulty oxygen sensor or repairing any damaged wiring or connectors. By following these steps, you can effectively diagnose and repair P0161 and ensure that your vehicle is running smoothly and efficiently.

What are British Standards?
British Standards are the recommendations that govern our industry. They’re not a legal requirement, but they ensure that best practice is being followed.
British Standards are published by the British Standards Institution (BSI), an independent body which was formed in 1901.
Here at Packaged Pumps Systems, we care about offering you the best service and the highest quality of products.
We choose to always adhere to British Standards.
British Standards give recommendations on the design, installation, testing and maintenance of basement pump systems.
With over 25 years’ experience in the basement pump industry, we manufacture over 1,600 pump stations each year.
With attention to detail at every stage, the design and installation of our basement pumps are always in accordance with British Standards and building regulations.
Battery Backup Units
A recent update to British Standards recommended that all basements that have a pump station should have a battery backup unit.
A battery backup unit will protect a pump in the event of a power failure.
If you’ve already got a basement pump but don’t have a battery backup unit then don’t worry, they’re really easy to fit to an existing pump station because they don’t need any additional electrical circuits.
We can help you find the right one for your pump station and we’ll fit it for you as well.
British Standards recommend that all pump stations should have a high-level alarm. In some cases, this may be a specific requirement of home and contents insurance providers.
A high-level alarm is installed as part of a basement waterproofing system to alert you that your pump is not working effectively and requires intervention.
Our Alertmaxx2 High Level Alarm & Rego1 Control Panel are the primary monitoring alarms for domestic pump stations. In conjunction with SideWinder Tech™, we are able to use our bespoke technology to monitor your pump station equipment and offer an unparalleled level of service from our in-house monitoring team.
As the sole manufacturer of the Alertmaxx2 and Rego1 worldwide – we know these units best.
Maintenance and Servicing
British Standards recommend a planned maintenance schedule for your basement pump.
The first inspection should happen when the installation of the pump is completed.
The second inspection should be within the first three months after installation or as soon as possible after the completion of building works that could affect the drainage installation.
According to the British Standards, a service should be carried out annually, as a minimum.
We’ve been servicing basement pumps for over 15 years and provide peace of mind to thousands of customers across the UK, who are on our service contracts.
We believe that servicing is vital to keep your pump in a good, working condition.
Basements are a crucial part of many homes and buildings, offering everything from storage to additional living spaces. However, basements also come with their own set of challenges, one of which is the potential for water intrusion. Whether it’s the result of rain or groundwater, unwanted water in the basement can lead to damage. This……
Basements, those foundational pillars of many homes, are often vulnerable to the whims of nature. Heavy rainfall and potential water accumulation mean your basement is constantly at risk. The first line of defence against such disasters is your sump pump system. Consider the sump pump to be the heart of the system, if the heart……
As a specialist in basement pumps, we understand their critical role in maintaining a dry and secure basement. Basements are prone to water-related issues due to their underground location and the potential for groundwater infiltration. A reliable basement pump system is essential for preventing flooding, water damage, and mold growth. Early Detection of Pump Failure:……
In the world of pump systems, one name has long been associated with reliability, innovation, and superior performance: PPS (Packaged Pumps Systems). For over 15 years, PPS had been closely tied to Delta Membranes, a well-known distributor of their products. However, in a surprising turn of events, PPS recently broke away from this partnership and……
Why is regular servicing important? Regular servicing is important to keep basement pump stations in a good, working condition. Like with most appliances and equipment within a home (such as boilers, fire alarms and washing machines), regular servicing detects any issues and prevents small things becoming a problem. That way, when you need the equipment……
What are British Standards? British Standards are the recommendations that govern our industry. They’re not a legal requirement, but they ensure that best practice is being followed.

I’m going to try my best to make the best waffle-themed dishes for you.
I’m trying to avoid waffles.
You know, that thing where they just put a big waffle on top of the waffles, and you eat it?
If I had a wafer instead, I’d probably be okay with that, too.
Instead, I’ve gone with a whole house style waffle.
I’ve had people tell me that their waffles are way better with a wafel on top, but that doesn’t really make sense.
So, here’s how I make a waffled-style waffle at home with my best friend.
Start with a few waffles 1.1 This is my waffle recipe for the whole house, which means I’ve created a wafe-style recipe for every house.
I’ve been eating it for months now.
1.2 Start by making the wafels.
I like to make a lot of waffles first.
1 cup of flour 1 cup water 2 cups warm water (not hot) 1 egg, beaten 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature (I use butter from my oven) 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/6 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/16 teaspoon baking spray 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted 1/12 teaspoon cinnamon, ground 1.3 In a large bowl, combine flour, water, eggs, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon.
Mix on medium speed for about 1 minute.
Stir in butter.
Beat in egg.
Divide batter evenly between prepared baking sheets.
Set aside to cool completely.
In a medium saucepan, heat butter over medium heat until it melts.
Add the flour mixture and continue to stir until combined.
Do not overheat.
Add the warm water, egg, and salt.
Make sure you have a large amount of water.
This will make it easier to pour the batter into the waffle batter.
Pour the batter on the prepared baking sheet.
It’s important that you spread the batter evenly.
It should be like a cake.
Place a large waffle pan in the middle of your waffle making area.
The center of the pan will be where you’ll put the wafer.
Pour batter onto the waffles and place in the oven.
Cook for about 30 to 35 minutes or until the wafe is done and the batter is just beginning to brown.
Let cool completely before cutting. 8. Enjoy!

The juice of the aloe vera plant has been used for hundreds of years to rid the body of toxins that are naturally stored in the kidneys, liver, and other parts of the body. If you are experiencing medical problems, consider looking into a detoxification diet to flush out these toxins and enjoy natural health once again.
Aloe vera has been used for centuries for its digestive properties, so it is no surprised that many use aloe vera juice for detoxification purposes. This juice is available through many natural stores or online easily.
If you are interested in the properties of aloe vera juice for its detoxifying issues, consider consulting your primary health care provider, naturalist, or dietician to provide you with more information on the topic.
Generally, most individuals experience no problems using aloe vera juice for in a detoxifying diet, and few individuals experience allergenic symptoms.
Get on an aloe vera detox schedule
Once you have decided that aloe vera juice for detoxification is best for you, the steps to beginning the diet is quite simple.
This diet can be used once or twice a year, although you are strongly recommended against using a detoxifying diet over three times a year. Some side effects of the aloe vera use include weight loss, headaches, and fatigue, but all of these symptoms generally dissipate after the diet is completed.
When beginning a diet that will include aloe vera juice, just work to include the juice into your detoxification diet.
Medicinal use of aloe vera
The medicinal use of aloe vera for detoxifying is numerous. Often, individuals who experience problems with irritable bowel syndrome find that aloe vera juice for detoxification is the best way to control this painful condition.
Typically, for gastrointestinal problems, one tablespoon of aloe vera juice can be taken on a daily basis to generate the best results.
Also, individuals with arthritis find that aloe vera juice is a way to restore the movement in their painful and swollen joints. Since aloe vera contains a high number of nutrients, this process is much healthier for the body than traditional medicinal treatments.
Control Acne with the Aloe Vera Detox
Finally, aloe vera for detoxification is a great way to control acne. Instead of dealing with skin blemishes, turn to aloe vera to reduce the appearance of blemishes and reduce redness, irritation, and swelling associated with rosacea.
Historians have noted that Egyptian queens Nephertiti and Cleopatra used aloe vera juice for their complexions, and this valuable plant was often painted onto temple walls in this ancient culture.
Since then, little has been done to change the properties of aloe vera, yet the juices of the plant have proved to remain a popular way to treat acne. Especially with the included antioxidants and wealth of naturally occurring vitamins, it is no surprise that the skin of individuals who use aloe vera juice turns out to look healthy, youthful, and vibrant.

It all started with a trip to a French chocolate shop. The result is the new book On the Chocolate Trail: A Delicious Adventure Connecting Jews, Religions, History, Travel, Rituals and Recipes to the Magic of Cacao." The author, Deborah R. Prinz, spoke with Arutz Sheva - Israel National Radio on the "Walter's World" program with host Walter Bingham.
"When we were in Paris for that first trip, I happened to pick up the company literature which said that Jews brought chocolate to France," Prinz stated. "I had never come across that information at point during all my years of congregational work."
To download the mp3 click here.
"On the Chocolate Trail" is part history book, part recipe book, and part travel diary. It details her 6 years of research which included trips to Israel and talks with Jewish chocolatiers.
One of the most interesting of her trips was to Bayonne, France. "It's probably the location where Jews first started to make chocolate in France and is still a center of chocolate making," Prinz stated.
"There was significant friction between the Jewish chocolate makers and the Catholic chocolate makers," the author related. As her book details, the Jewish community in the region were 'conversos' who came after the Expulsion from Spain and Portugal.
There were certain restrictions against the Jewish chocolate makers. They couldn't live in the community of Bayonne. They had to live in the suburbs. Nevertheless, the non-Jewish chocolate makers who still exist in France today all tell the story in museums and literature that it was the Jews that brought chocolate to France."

Gallagher's Auto Service, located in Malvern, PA, 19355 has a team of well-trained, knowledgeable Toyota service and maintenance technicians who have years of experience working on Toyotas.
Toyota one of the largest automakers in the world. The Japanese automaker makes a wide variety of vehicles - from hybrids to sedans, SUVs and pickup trucks. Over its history, the automaker has produced several sports cars. It has also been a pioneer in hybrid technology through its Prius vehicle.
Toyota has built itself a reputation of being reliable, carving itself a lot of market share simply based on its cars' reliability. Problems that do arise, old and new, are often in appearance, with many issues relegated to interior fit and finish problems that arise over the life of the car. This depends on the model and year of the Toyota vehicle.
Toyota Vehicles Fixed At Affordable Prices
Gallagher's Auto Service has a well-trained staff of Toyota service technicians who are ready to service any of your Toyota vehicle needs. We understand the hardships you face when you're without a vehicle, so we will quickly get your vehicle back on the road. Gallagher's Auto Service prides itself on offering affordable repairs. Our friendly staff is waiting to service your Toyota vehicle. You can give us a call at 610-644-9904 or visit our service center.
Dropped off my car here today for a variety of stuff. Forgot my emissions inspection was coming up when I dropped off, called later and not only they were more than accommodating, but they rotated my tires as well without me asking because they caught that there would otherwise be an issue with the tires. Promptly completed, great quality, and most important of all--the price was EXTREMELY fair. Bill is also extremely professional and has great customer service. Definitely coming here again. Highly recommended.
Quality work, honest, and a fair price. If you don't want to be concerned about being raked over the coals or having unnecessary work done, look no further than Gallagher's.
I took my Mercury Mountaineer in for service. There had been a rumbling noise while accelerating. For all I knew it could have needed a new transmission but Bill Gallagher did not try and sell me a new tranny when in fact all it needed was in fact an additive added to the fluid to help with the overdrive (a known Ford/Merc. problem.) Thank you Bill for your honesty. I trust his shop implicitly. I highly recommend his shop to anyone.
Friendly, quick, and well priced. Would recommend.
Our experience with Gallagher's service was outstanding! Bill was very professional and treated us with the utmost respect. We have found their prices to be reasonable and we are very satisfied with their work. We will be going back to Gallagher's from now on and we will recommend their services to others.
Lucked out and found Bill's shop and now bring everything to him. Excellent mechanics, MB experts (as well as other German models and many other foreign and domestic vehicles). They now service everything from my '96 Jeep Cherokee to the MB. They actually repair things instead of rip and replace. They are always upfront about pricing and will give you an honest estimate before starting the repair.

TheraFlu relieves symptoms associated with colds, upper respiratory infections and allergies, according to Drugs.com. It contains a decongestant, cough suppressant, analgesic and antihistamine. These ingredients relieve symptoms of sinus congestion, runny nose, sneezing, pain and cough.
The decongestant in TheraFlu reduces swelling in the nasal passages by constricting blood vessels, explains Drugs.com. The antihistamine blocks histamine, which is responsible for allergic symptoms such as sneezing and watery eyes. The analgesic and cough suppressant act in the brain to decrease pain and reduce cough.
Side effects of TheraFlu include drowsiness, headache, nausea, dizziness and difficulty sleeping, reports WebMD. Doctors who prescribe TheraFlu judge the benefit to outweigh the side effects. Serious side effects, however, need to be reported to a doctor. These include irregular heartbeat, mental changes, tremors, weakness and problems with urination. Symptoms of rash, trouble breathing and itching or swelling of the face, tongue or throat indicate a serious allergic reaction, and medical attention should be sought immediately.
Before taking TheraFlu, patients should advise doctors of all allergies and other medications they are taking, instructs WebMD. Patients should also inform doctors of their medical history, especially problems of diabetes, glaucoma, high blood pressure, liver disease and hyperthyroidism. Other issues to report are heart problems, kidney problems, trouble urinating and alcohol use or abuse.

Shout is Laurie Halse Anderson's companion (of sorts) to her 1999 memoir and National Book Award finalist, Speak, narrated by Melinda, a high school student who stops speaking after a classmate rapes her. In the two decades since, Anderson has given book talks to teens about "rape mythology, sexual violence and consent." Young people have sought her out to "tell [her], shame-smoked raw/ voices, tears waterfalling,/ about the time" they were assaulted. Even on a movie set, she was approached by a "big square guy" who said, "I am Melinda... A lot of us working on this film/ are like her.../ it happened to us, too."
Longlisted for the 2019 National Book Award in Young People's Literature and chosen as a Spring 2019 Kids' Indie Next Great Reads title, Shout is a biography, a call to action, a lesson, a fable, a warm embrace for those who hurt, a guttural scream demanding the pain stop. It's factual as it flows in lyrical verse through Anderson's life; speculative as she creates a collective noun for teens; direct as she speaks to scared librarians "on the cusp of courage." Shout is for survivors, for abusers and assaulters, for consenting young people, for gatekeepers unwilling to let sex through. Immensely powerful, Shout is for everyone. --Siân Gaetano, children's and YA editor, Shelf Awareness


Federal Vaccine Mandates: Step-by-Step Compliance Guide for Community Action
This step-by-step compliance guide is intended to help the Community Action network navigate the employee vaccination mandates announced by OSHA, Head Start, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). We describe the planning process your CAA should consider as you develop and update your policies to reflect the new requirements. We also provide template policies and additional resources to assist CAAs in preparing for and implementing the mandates. We will update this resource as additional guidance is issued and legal developments arise.
1/13/22: The OSHA vaccine-or-test mandate has been blocked nationwide by the U.S. Supreme Court. The CMS vaccine mandate has been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court and is currently in effect.
1/3/22: The Head Start Interim Final Rule establishing the Head Start vaccination and masking mandate has been preliminarily enjoined in 25 states: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming. Head Start, Early Head Start, and Early Head Start-Child Care Partnership grant recipients in those 25 states are not required to comply with the rule pending future developments in the litigation.
1. Identify which mandate(s) apply
OSHA Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS)
The OSHA ETS applies to private employers with 100 or more employees, including full- and part-time employees at all business locations and employees who work exclusively from home. Independent contractors are not considered employees for purposes of the OSHA ETS. If an employer meets the 100-employee threshold at any point while the OSHA ETS is in effect, it will be subject to the rule and must comply for the duration of the ETS.
OSHA anticipates that the ETS will be in effect for six months from the date of publication in the Federal Register (i.e., through May 6, 2022). However, OSHA will continue to monitor trends in COVID-19 infections and deaths as more of the workforce and the general population become vaccinated and the pandemic continues to evolve. Where OSHA finds a grave danger from the virus no longer exists for the covered workforce (or some portion thereof), or new information indicates a change in measures is necessary to address the grave danger, OSHA will update the ETS, as appropriate.
The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, which established OSHA, also allows states and U.S. territories to adopt their own occupational safety and health plans (referred to generally as “State Plans”) that must be approved by federal OSHA. State Plans may cover public employees only, or all public and private-sector employees, but they must be at least as restrictive as federal OSHA rules and regulations. You can find a map with information about state plans and their scope here.
CAAs in State Plan states should review their State Plan’s scope of coverage on osha.gov to determine whether they will be covered by the federal OSHA ETS or their State Plan. However, CAAs covered by State Plans should prepare to comply with a rule that is similar, if not identical, to the OSHA ETS. The OSHA ETS requires that State Plans adopt a conforming state-level emergency temporary standard within 30 days of the publication of the ETS, or by December 6, 2021. OSHA has indicated that it will work with the State Plans on adopting an emergency standard that is at least as effective as the ETS within the 30-day timeframe required by 29 CFR 1953.5(b). Alternatively, they may demonstrate that promulgation of a state ETS is not necessary because the state already has standards that are the same or at least as effective as the federal standard.
If a State Plan fails to adopt this ETS, or a comparable standard, Federal OSHA will determine that the State Plan is not as effective as federal OSHA. Federal OSHA may then commence proceedings to ensure adequate protections for covered workers within the state. This may include Federal OSHA’s reconsideration and possible revocation of State Plans previously approved by Federal OSHA. At this point, CAAs in State Plan states should prepare to comply with the OSHA ETS, as we expect that all State Plan states will be required to adopt a comparable standard.
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Interim Final Rule
The CMS Interim Final Rule (the “CMS rule”) applies to Medicare- and Medicaid-certified healthcare providers and suppliers that are regulated under the Medicare health and safety standards known as Conditions of Participation, Conditions for Coverage, or Requirements. Specifically, the CMS rule applies to the following:
- Ambulatory Surgical Centers;
- Psychiatric residential treatment facilities;
- Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly;
- Long Term Care (LTC) Facilities, including Skilled Nursing Facilities and Nursing Facilities, generally referred to as nursing homes;
- Intermediate Care Facilities for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities;
- Home Health Agencies;
- Comprehensive Outpatient Rehabilitation Facilities;
- Critical Access Hospitals;
- Clinics, rehabilitation agencies, and public health agencies as providers of outpatient physical therapy and speech-language pathology services;
- Community Mental Health Centers;
- Home Infusion Therapy suppliers;
- Rural Health Clinics and Federally Qualified Health Centers; and
- End-Stage Renal Disease Facilities.
CAAs are only required to comply with the CMS mandate in relation to healthcare facilities that fall into one of the above categories. Thus, receipt of Medicare or Medicaid funds will only require compliance with the CMS rule where the funds are used in connection with the operation of one or more of the facilities described above.
Head Start Mandate
The Head Start Interim Final Rule (the “Head Start Rule”) applies to all Head Start and Early Head Start programs, including programs offered by delegate agencies and Early Head Start-Child Care Partnerships. The mandate specifically applies to:
all staff who work with enrolled Head Start children and families in any capacity, regardless of funding source;
Head Start contractors whose activities involve contact with or providing direct services to children and families; and
volunteers in Head Start classrooms or working directly with children.
State Law Preemption
All three federal vaccine mandates expressly claim to preempt all state and local laws that restrict employers from implementing vaccine mandates. The Head Start rule also claims to preempt State laws that prohibit employers from requiring universal masking. The OSHA ETS also states its intent to preempt any state or local requirements that ban or limit an employer’s authority to require vaccination, face covering, or testing of employees.
The conflict between the federal mandates and state laws is likely to result in extensive and contentious litigation. It can be difficult to predict whether courts will interpret two laws to directly conflict with one another, but in light of the tight timeline for compliance as discussed below, CAAs should be prepared to comply with the federal mandates as written.
In addition to the rules discussed above, CAAs may be subject to rules on employee vaccinations at the state or local level. To the extent that those state and local rules do not conflict with the federal guidance, CAAs should comply with them in addition to the federal mandates.

After fines, Hampton trustees need to look beyond Mackensen
The Hampton Trustees of the Trust Funds should start the search for a new investment firm in light of the recent breach of trust committed by Mackensen & Company.
The Hampton-based firm was recently fined $100,000 by the Securities and Exchange Commission for using misleading advertisements to woo prospective clients.
According to the order, Mackensen & Company from late 2010 into 2012 sent 500 letters to trustees of the trust funds throughout the state. In the letter, then-owner Warren Mackensen claimed in a “comparative performance report” each municipality could make more money with Mackensen & Company’s model investment portfolio than it made in its existing investments.
In its order, the SEC noted in the advertisements that Mackensen and Mackensen & Company never disclosed the portfolio did not exist and the described performance was hypothetical and backtested.
While the firm did not commit financial fraud, it did mislead potential clients and as a result violated the federal Investments Advisers Act of 1940.
The breach of trust comes down to the fact that the trustees didn't hear about the investigation until right before the order was handed down on Sept. 3.
Mackensen & Company has managed the town’s $18.2 million Hampton Beach Real Estate Trust Fund, as well as other trusts since 2010.
You would think the firm would inform one of their biggest clients about the pending investigation.
Instead the firm remained silent.
That is why we were surprised Hampton's Trustees of the Trust Funds, at its Oct. 19 meeting, voted to reaffirm its decision to select Mackensen & Company as its investment adviser.
The rationale of the trustees was that the company's promotional activities under its former owner had no bearing on the trustees’ decision to select the firm in 2010.
The trustees praised the company's new owner, David T. Mayes, and the job the company has done overseeing the town's money.
Norm Silberdick, chairman of the Hampton Trustees of the Trust Fund, said since Mackensen & Company came on board, the trust fund assets have grown by $4.7 million, routinely generating roughly $700,000 each year for the town to offset the tax rate.
The issue we have with the trustees' rationale is while Mackensen sold the company in 2012, he stayed on as the company’s chief compliance officer until July 2014.
He didn't leave the company until 2015.
Mayes, the new owner, worked for Mackensen & Company at the time of the violations and yet remained silent on the infractions, according to trustees.
Mackensen & Company has also used the fact it oversees the town’s trusts to their benefit in advertising promotions.
It’s been nearly five years since the town has put out a request for proposal for investment firms.
Let us not forget, the trustees came under fire after it selected Mackensen & Company in 2010.
At the time, its owner, Warren Mackensen, was a Hampton trustee and the group’s bookkeeper.
The attorney general’s office investigated the matter at the request of selectmen and ruled Mackensen had a conflict of interest in his simultaneous roles as a trustee and as the fund's financial adviser.
While Mackensen claimed there was no conflict because, at the time, he was not charging the town for his services, the attorney general's office ruled his firm received an indirect benefit overseeing a trust of this magnitude because it can be used in his company’s promotional materials.
In response, the trustees put out a request for proposal to hire a new investment firm and Mackensen opted against seeking another term on the board. After interviewing eight firms, the trustees once again selected Mackensen & Company on April 18, 2011.
To us, it’s time to see what other companies are out there.

The CD14 receptor is an important mediator of inflammatory reactions, and its expression is under genetic control. The allelic variant of the C260T polymorphism located in the promoter region of the CD14 gene is associated with receptor expression and ischemic risk. To date, most studies assessing the functional implications of the C260T polymorphism have been performed under proinflammatory conditions (e.g., acute coronary syndromes), and whether gene sequence variations of the CD14 receptor have any functional effect on systemic inflammation in patients in a stable phase of their atherosclerotic disease process is unknown. Eighty-two patients with stable coronary artery disease were studied. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) was used as a measurement of systemic inflammation. The genotype distribution of the C260T polymorphism of the CD14 gene was as follows: CC in 18 of 82 patients (22%), TC in 48 of 82 patients (58.5%), and TT in 16 of 82 patients (19.5%). TT subjects had increased hs-CRP levels compared with carriers of the C allele (p = 0.04). A higher percentage of T allele homozygotes had hs-CRP levels > 0.3 mg/dl (p = 0.01). Homozygosis status of the T allele was independently associated with hs-CRP levels > 03 mg/dl (p = 0.004). In conclusion, these observations may support the findings in large-scale studies that T homozygotes of this functional polymorphism are at increased ischemic risk. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc.

Peshawar, Apr 8 (ANI): A US drone aircraft fired two missiles on a vehicle carrying militants in the Daza Ghundi area near South Waziristan on Wednesday, killing four people.
"The drone was flying very low and as soon as militants in a truck opened fired at it, a missile was fired that hit the vehicle," a foreign news agency quoted a resident, as saying.
The incident is the latest in a string of attacks over the past several weeks, and come on the heels of a meeting between senior US officials and their Pakistani counterparts during which both sides pledged co-operation, Dawn News reported.
Earlier, President Asif Ali Zardari had earlier called for the US to hand intelligence reports and drone technology to the Pakistan Army in order to better enable the country to deal with the terrorist threat. (ANI)

All this week, NBC5 has been bringing you stories about the damaging effects of domestic violence.
In Tarrant County, it's estimated one in three women will become a victim. The national average is one in four. Last year, the county had 16 domestic violence murders, 14 already this year.
The problem is so large that police and prosecutors teamed up to create a special unit. NBC 5 went with them to the doorstep of abuse.
It’s a rainy afternoon and Bedford Police are making a house call.
The latest news from around North Texas.
"To try to make contact with both the victim and the suspect involved in this case," said Bedford Police Officer Hall.
It's an unannounced visit to the home of a known domestic violence offender. On this day, they're hand-delivering a letter to put the abuser on notice.
"It tells them to stop their actions now, their violent actions now," said Bedford Police Sergeant Tyler Stillman. "If they do not, we will submit their case for swift prosecution and put them in prison."
Swift prosecution is the next step in a combined effort to shine a light on violence in the home.
"These are not crimes just against the victim,” said Tarrant County District Attorney Sharen Wilson. “They are crimes against the state of Texas."
And in Tarrant County, they are far too common. Wilson noticed a pattern when she took office in 2015 and started reviewing all capital murder cases.
"Over half of our capital instances last year were family violence-related and you know, that is not acceptable," Wilson said.
So the DA's office started a new unit that only handles cases of "intimate partner violence."
"And we see that if we don't take these seriously, this person, remember they're prone to violence, could be a threat against our greater community at another time," Wilson said.
Now prosecutors are working with police before the case reaches the courthouse. NBC 5 watched as they met with officers from the Hurst, Euless and Bedford police departments to streamline how these cases are handled, from the first contact.
"Everybody's job as a police officer is make them safe that night, get them off the street, diffuse the situation. But what we're thinking about at the DA's Office is the end game," said Art Clayton, Chief Prosecutor for the Intimate Partner Violence unit.
Prosecutors are urging police to collect good hard evidence the night of the crime because in family violence, the victim doesn't always want to testify, though the case will move forward.
"We've gotta keep in mind, their situation is complicated,” Clayton said. “We gotta let them know we're here to help and keep them safe."
Which takes us back to the streets with Bedford police.
"We're gonna do a follow-up with this victim. Just to see if she's safe and see if there's any resources or anything that she needs at this point," said Courtney Janes, victim services coordinator for the Bedford, Hurst and Euless police departments.
She's a trained counselor, there to reassure victims and help navigate volatile relationships.
"With these types of offenses, emotions are very, very high," Janes said.
Take the case of Julie Renfro. When officers step in her door today, it's like a family reunion. But back in 2014, the same officers arrived moments after Renfro's ex-husband had severely beaten her. Crime scene photos captured the first signs of injury.
"My hair was a mess, I had blood on my face and I'm trying to downplay this whole situation," Renfro said.
Police didn't give up and Renfro's ex was locked up. Now he'll be getting out soon and her support team is still there for her.
"We can help figure out what we can do to keep you safe," Janes said.
"They never gave up on me and like I said, I didn't have anybody to reach out to," said Renfro.
It's a mission to see the process through, keep a family safe and deliver justice for the crimes behind closed doors.
“We’re here to try to keep them safe and to make the violence stop and honestly that may mean that that person needs to be locked up for a long time,” said Wilson.
Prosecutors say these cases are also the most dangerous for police. This year, across the country, 32 out of 38 cases where police were killed on the job were connected to a domestic violence call.

Greek crisis and the EUIn an op-ed piece from the beginning of April, former German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer discussed Greece's credit problems and what other EU countries should learn from them: Griechische Lektionen für Europa Der Standard 01.03.10.
Ireland had run into problems with their speculative debt policies before Greece. When the Great Recession hit, they faced problems paying the interest on their official debt. They were able to come up with the funds by cutting other government spending. But, Fischer points out, the Greek situation is different. In Ireland's case, their economy was basically healthy. Greece's wasn't.
Fischer, like many other commentators, criticizes Greece for living beyond their means. The EU, however, can neither allow Greece to just go bankrupt nor leave it to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to clean up. Because if similar problems develop in Spain, Portugal and Italy:
Dem Euro würde dann aber die Gefahr eines Scheiterns drohen, und damit wäre zum ersten Mal in seiner Geschichte das gesamte europäische Integrationsprojekt ernsthaft gefährdet.
He notes that the Maastricht Treaty requirement for EU countries to maintain debt levels at no more than 3% of their
[The EU's Stability and Growth Pact under the Masstrict Treaty set a guideline that "the planned or actual government deficit" of each member country should not exceed "the reference value of 3% of GDP".]
Fischer emphasizes that to avoid such an outcome, the EU will need to come up with new central economic policies, though he thinks it would be a waste of time right now to try to change the EU governing structures again. One intriguing idea of his is to create Eurobonds to support the countries facing possible bankruptcy. With the risk of default spread among many countries rather than one, this would provide countries like Greece, Spain and Portugal more flexibility to address immediate financial squeezes without such heavy reliance on their current course of cutting government spending in the middle of a recession, the opposite of what counter-cyclical policy needs to be.
Since then, the EU has moved in the direction Fischer indicated, with the establishment of a central bailout fund of substantial size.
As Fischer also notes, the EU was facing rising skepticism among the European publics. This is due in large part to what is rightly called a democratic deficit in European politics. Although people do elect representatives to the European parliament, democratic politics still focuses primarily on individual nations. The ordinary citizen's commitment to the Union as such is not strong enough right now to sustain the development of the EU over the long haul.
The economic crisis has taken the pressure to rectify that problem to a new level, with the taxpayers of Germany, France and other countries not so hard hit in their governmental finances being required to bail out other countries.

Jets Revis Fight
New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis, right, enters the Pittsburgh Municipal Courts Building en route to City Court with his lawyer, Blaine Jones, Friday, Feb. 17, 2017, in downtown Pittsburgh. According to a docket sheet filed Thursday night, Revis is facing two counts of aggravated assault, along with charges of robbery, conspiracy to commit aggravated assault and terroristic threats - a misdemeanor - after a fight early Sunday. (John Heller/Post-Gazette via AP)
The alleged video from Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis' street fight in Pittsburgh last week has been leaked, courtesy of TMZ.
It's just not Revis in the video, according to attorneys Robert Del Greco Jr. and Mark Fiorilli, who issued a statement on Sunday.
"Darrelle Revis absolutely, categorically and positively did not knock out anyone, did not conspire with anyone to commit an assault, did not say 'shut up before I knock your [expletive] out next' and surely did not 'rob' another of a cell phone," the statement said, via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
"The voice and admissions made on the video are not that of Darrelle Revis. We have no doubt but that further investigation relative to the clothing and voice verification will corroborate the above assertions."
The video is as previous reports indicated: An unknown man is recording a scene after apparently knocking two others out. When a third party tries to calm him down, he threatens to do the same to him.
Click here to watch the video. Viewer discretion is advised. Strong language is present. The police or state of Pennsylvania have not released this video to the media or public.
In the video, an unknown man is heard saying: "I knocked both of these mother------- out. Both of them. They both sleep. Shut up before I knock your a-- out next. Both of y'all shut up."
Police charged Revis, 31, with four first-degree felonies and one misdemeanor after an altercation Sunday morning on Pittsburgh's South Side. Those charges include two counts of felony aggravated assault, one count of felony robbery, one count of felony conspiracy to commit aggravated assault, and one count of misdemeanor making terroristic threats.
Friday night, a day after being charged, Revis turned himself in and was arraigned. He received a non-monetary bond, but has to appear at all hearings and cannot have any contact with the alleged victims and witnesses, per ESPN. He has 72 hours to submit his passport. His next court date will be Thursday.
In a statement released by the police, Revis was painted as the aggressor. Revis' previous attorney, Blaine Jones, indicated he was the victim. You can read the police statement here, and Revis' side to the story here.
Both accounts do make reference to an unknown man coming to Revis' aid, and two men getting knocked out. In the police complaint, neither of the two alleged victims or a witness said they knew exactly who threw the punches.
Jones made comments on Thursday and Friday saying he felt it would benefit Revis to have the video released. It isn't clear if this is the specific video he was talking about.
There was a video referenced in the police complaint apparently showing the lead up to the incident.
