This week's One Two Three feels a little bit like a cop out - since I've been seeing neon everywhere (and even tweeted about it), it didn't take much work to come up with a theme for this week's post. However, easy though it may have been, my intentions are true... I love me some neon!
(image from Atlantic-Pacific)
These Kate Spade pumps are the epitome of neon style this season - classic, classy, and yet completely outrageous. I love the idea of pairing stylish neon touches with muted colors and crisp fabrics, retaining some traditionalism while also bringing da funk. Alright that was probably a misuse of that cultural reference, but just go with it.
Something wild -- When I saw this necklace on Lauren Elizabeth's blog, I knew it was going to be a problem for me. I have put it in my "cart," taken it out of my "cart," and deleted emails from BaubleBar enticing me "not to forget about your items!" at least three times since I first saw this necklace...a week ago. It's only $34, it is neon and gold, and it is a troublemaker. Let's see how long I can hold out, shall we?
This weekend I had the pleasure of meeting a new friend in person, but not before tweeting with her on Friday about the neon Sharpie tutorial she promised to upload at Brit+co this week. She did not disappoint, and now I want to make these neon Sharpies miiiiiine so I can neon-ify my belongings. You should know, by now, my obsession with all things stationery-supply, and therefore it should be no surprise that these pens appeal to me doubly so.
What do you think of the neon trend this year, thumbs up or thumbs down? Have you made any fun neon purchases yet?

(CNN) – Southern California’s famed but troubled Crystal Cathedral will be sold to the Roman Catholic Church, in a deal a bankruptcy judge approved Thursday.
The Protestant church, which helped spark the megachurch movement in the United States after opening in 1970, declared bankruptcy last year following years of infighting among the family of church founder Rev. Robert H. Schuller and church leaders.
Sheila Schuller Coleman, the founder’s daughter, sought to reassure members and supporters of the iconic house of worship Thursday night, saying “there is still time for God to step in and save Crystal Cathedral Ministries.”

(CNN)–The books and movies of the Twilight Saga have launched a firestorm of debate as to whether the vampire-human love story represents eternal love at its finest or glorifies misogynistic and abusive relationships. I am a proud member of the first camp, seeing epic and eternal themes in the books as worthy of discussion and the violence as a part of the fictional world that tells the story.

When the household furniture is a place for visitors as well as family, remodel which will the furniture should be neat looking and simple to use. This could especially be an issue for family people and guests who are elderly or disabled. For easy rearrangement, think about smaller upholstered seats and two-seater sofas. However, some households absolutely love a large, sturdy, cushy sofa that everybody can cuddle on.

Start by measuring the room and sketching the outline onto the graph paper. Then, cut out furnishings outlines within the exact same scale from a 2nd piece of graph paper. Create themes for the current furniture very first, and then make templates in line with the size the couches, seats, and footstools into consideration. Slowly move the furniture themes about around the space describe to check for fit and arrangement. Remember to add no-upholstered furnishings and add-ons for example side furniture, floor lamps, a coffee table, book shelves, as well as an amusement centre.

Trump: Citizenship And The Census
President Trump delivered remarks regarding the question of citizenship on the US Census.
Trump was Monday’s KVML “Newsmaker of the Day”. Here are his words:
“Thank you very much everyone. Are you a citizen of the United States of America? “Oh, gee, I’m sorry, I just can’t answer that question.” And that’s after spending billions and billions of dollars. There used to be a time when you could answer questions like that very easily. There used to be a time when you could proudly declare, “I am a citizen of the United States.”
Now they’re trying to erase the very existence of a very important word and a very important thing: citizenship. They’re even coming after the Pledge of Allegiance in Minnesota. I’m proud to be a citizen. You’re proud to be a citizen. The only people who are not proud to be citizens are the ones who are fighting us all the way about the word, “citizen.”
Today I’m here to say we are not backing down on our effort to determine the citizenship status of the United States population. I stand before you to outline new steps my administration is taking to ensure that citizenship is counted so that we know how many citizens we have in the United States. Makes sense?
We will defend the right of the American people to know the full facts about the population size of citizens and non-citizens in America. It is essential that we have a clear breakdown of the number of citizens and non-citizens that make up the U.S. populations. Imperative.
Knowing this information is vital to formulating sound public policy, whether the issue is healthcare, education, civil rights, or immigration. We must have a reliable count of how many citizens, non-citizens, and illegal aliens are in our country.
The Department of Commerce sensibly decided to include a citizenship question in the 2020 Census, as has been done many, many times throughout the history of the United States.
Unfortunately, this effort was delayed by meritless litigation. As shocking as it may be, far-left Democrats in our country are determined to conceal the number of illegal aliens in our midst. They probably know the number is far greater, much higher than anyone would have believed before. Maybe that’s why they fight so hard.
This is part of a broader left-wing effort to erode the rights of the American citizen. And it’s very unfair to our country.
The Supreme Court ultimately affirmed our right to ask the citizenship question. And, very strongly, it was affirmed. But the Supreme Court ruled that we must provide further explanation that would have produced even more litigation and considerable time delays.
The case is already in three federal district courts that have been, to be totally honest, extremely unfriendly to us. These delays would have prevented us from completing the census on time. It’s deeply regrettable, but it will not stop us from collecting the needed information — and I think even in greater detail and more accurately. Therefore, we are pursuing a new option to ensure a complete and timely count of the non-citizen population.
Today, I will be issuing an executive order to put this very plan into effect immediately. I’m hereby ordering every department and agency in the federal government to provide the Department of Commerce with all requested records regarding the number of citizens and non-citizens in our country. They must furnish all legally accessible records in their possession immediately.
We will utilize these vast federal databases to gain a full, complete, and accurate count of the non-citizen population, including databases maintained by the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration.
We have great knowledge in many of our agencies. We will leave no stone unturned. The Census Bureau projected that using previously available records, it could determine citizenship for 90 percent of our population or more.
With today’s executive order, which eliminates long-standing obstacles to data sharing, we’re aiming to count everyone. Ultimately, this will allow us to have an even more complete count of citizens than through asking the single question alone. It will be, we think, far more accurate.
The Census Bureau can use this information, along with information collected through the questionnaire, to create the official census. In other words, as a result of today’s executive order, we will be able to ensure the 2020 Census generates an accurate count of how many citizens, non-citizens, and illegal aliens are in the United States of America. Not too much to ask.
This will greatly inform a wide array of public policy decisions. This information is also relevant to administering our elections. Some states may want to draw state and local legislative districts based upon the voter-eligible population.
Indeed, the same day the Supreme Court handed down the census decision, it also said it would not review certain types of districting decisions, which could encourage states to make such decisions based on voter eligibility.
With today’s order, we will collect all of the information we need to conduct an accurate census and to make responsible decisions about public policy, voting rights, and representation in Congress.
In everything we do, we will faithfully represent the people of the United States of America.
I would like now to introduce Attorney General Bill Barr to the podium. Thank you. Thank you, Bill. (Applause.)
ATTORNEY GENERAL BARR: Good evening. Thank you, Mr. President. And congratulations on today’s executive order, which will ensure that we finally have an accurate understanding of how many citizens and non-citizens live in our country.
As the Supreme Court recognized, it would be perfectly lawful for the federal government to ask on the census whether individuals are citizens of the United States. And it’s entirely reasonable to want to know how many citizens and non-citizens there are in the United States.
In fact, the federal government has routinely asked questions relating to citizenship ever since the 1820s. But while the Supreme Court correctly recognized that it would be entirely appropriate to include citizenship questions on the census, it nevertheless held that the Commerce Department did not adequately explain its decisions for doing so on the 2020 Census — because, as the Supreme Court recognized, the defect in the Commerce Department’s decision was curable with a better record.
The President asked me to work with Secretary Ross to determine whether there remained a viable path for including a citizenship question on the census. I did so.
In my view, the government has ample justification to inquire about citizenship status on the census, and could plainly provide rationales for doing so that would satisfy the Supreme Court. And therefore, there is no question that a new decision to add the question would ultimately survive legal review.
The problem is that any new decision would be subject to immediate challenge as a new claim in the three ongoing district court cases. In addition, there are injunctions currently in place that forbid adding the question. There is simply no way to litigate these issues and obtain relief from the current injunctions in time to implement any new decision without jeopardizing our ability to carry out the census, which we’re not going to do. We’re not going to jeopardize our ability to carry out the census.
So as a practical matter, the Supreme Court’s decision closed all paths to adding the question to the 2020 census. Put simply, the impediment was not — it was a logistical impediment, not a legal one. We simply cannot complete the litigation in time to carry out the census.
One other point on this: Some in the media have been suggesting, in the hysterical mode of the day, that the administration has been planning to add the citizenship question to the census by executive fiat without regard to contrary court orders or what the Supreme Court might say. This has been based on rank speculation and nothing more.
As should be obvious, there has never been under cons- — this has never been under consideration. We have always accepted that any new decision to add a citizenship question to the census would be subject to judicial review.
Turning to today, I applaud the President for recognizing in his executive order that including a question on the census is not the only way to obtain this vital information. The course the President has chosen today will bring unprecedented resources to bear on determining how many citizens and non-citizens are in our country, and will yield the best data the government has had on citizenship in many decades. That information will be used for countless purposes, as the President explained in his remarks today.
For example, there is a current dispute over whether illegal aliens can be included for apportionment purposes. Depending on the resolution of that dispute, this data may be relevant to those considerations. We will be studying this issue.
Congratulations again, Mr. President, on taking this effective action.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you, Bill. (Applause.) Thank you very much.”

An automated protocol for thoracic vertebrae of cancellous bone segmentation and radiomics bone mineral density (BMD) assessment shows promise for opportunistic BMD screening on chest low-dose CT (LDCT), researchers have found.
The findings could improve patient care, according to a team led by Shigeng Wang of First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University in Dalian, Liaoning, China. The study results were published September 19 in Academic Radiology.
"BMD measurement is a critical index for the diagnosis of osteoporosis, risk evaluation of fractures, and treatment effectiveness assessment," the authors noted.
Osteoporosis is a chronic bone disease that increases an individual's risk of fractures and is often underdiagnosed. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) has long been the gold standard for assessing the condition, but it can be hindered by overlapping anatomy, vascular calcification, and degenerative spine changes.
That's why LDCT is sparking interest in this indication. The modality is used for lung cancer screening, and it's possible that information it gleans could be used opportunistically to evaluate patients' bone mineral density -- especially with a boost from AI in the form of automatic segmentation of vertebrae, Wang and colleagues explained.
To explore this possibility, the team developed a model for osteoporosis screening based on LDCT images that incorporated an automatic deep-learning thoracic vertebrae of cancellous bone segmentation model and radiomics analysis. The group conducted a study that included 442 individuals who underwent both LDCT and quantitative CT exams; participants were randomly categorized into training, internal testing, and external testing cohorts.
Wang and colleagues trained the thoracic vertebrae of cancellous bone segmentation model using VB-Net -- evaluating its performance using the Dice coefficient -- and built predictive models for assessing bone mineral density using radiomics based on automatic segmentation and manual segmentation. They gauged the performance of the radiomics models using the area under the operating curve (AUC) measure and specificity and sensitivity percentages.
The investigators found Dice coefficients for the thoracic vertebrae of cancellous bone segmentation model was 0.99 for the internal testing cohort and 0.94 for the external cohort (with 1 as reference).
As for the radiomics models, the researchers found the following:
|Performance results of radiomics models for assessing bone mineral density on LDCT|
|Measure||Manual segmentation radiomics model||Automatic segmentation radiomics model|
|Internal testing set|
|External testing set|
These results could translate to better osteoporosis evaluation, according to the authors.
"The radiomics features extracted from thoracic vertebrae of cancellous bone of LDCT images offer information for the assessment of BMD and may serve as a valuable tool for opportunistic osteoporosis screening with high cost-effectiveness," they concluded.
The complete study can be found here.

I was surprised to find that Belgrade has a lot of parks and green areas, both large and small. The image of Eastern Europe is one of industry and pollution, but not of community parks. Last weekend I took Oliver and Ocean to a couple of them, one a new one for our family.
The first park we visited was in Dedinje, very near our house. The park is located across from Pink TV and city officials recently upgraded the park with a zip line, climbing apparatus, etc. The kids love it.
The second park was near the Kalenić market. It has a park area for dogs, a mini-skateboard park, and trees to climb. There is a statue of the Bosnian author and politician, Petar Kočić. He is known for his portrayal of the natural beauty of the mountains and rivers of Bosnia.
It is nice that the city has areas for young children to play. Many Serbs live in apartments and the need for access to green areas is vital.

Average speed limits do not exist but Highways England uses variable speed limits on smart motorways to smooth traffic flow, reduce congestion and enhance safety. The variable limits are set locally in response to traffic flow levels or to help manage incidents.
The Department issued revised guidance in January 2013 aimed mainly at local traffic authorities who are responsible for setting speed limits on local roads. It includes guidance on the use of variable 20 mph speed limits with electronic signs. It has been designed to help explain to everyone why and how local speed limits are determined. This guidance was revised following full public consultation in Summer 2012 and is available online on GOV.UK

Visited Sal & Mookies for the first time today with my family. Located in the Fondren/Medical area of town, just North of UMMC and the stadium.
Very relaxed atomosphere with lots of tables outside on the patios. Service was fast, friendly and attentive.
Food was very good. I had one of the hand tossed pizzas and it was delicious. A great selection of ice cream too.
Beer selection was good. I counted about 15 taps including Lazy Magnolia's Timber Beast and about twice as many bottles. Abita, North Coast, Sierra Nevada, Rogue, Yazoo and others.
Will definitely be back.

Part of the Big 3 in the Jackson area (Bravo!, Broad Street Bakery and Sal & Mookie's)all under the same ownership. Quality is a must at Sal and Mookie's. Italian casual dining for all ages. Service is always fast and friendly.
The ice cream selections are out of sight.
Recently refurbished Pi Lounge to reflect a more comfortable "working class" atmosphere. A pretty good selection of draft beer with Pint Night specials once a month. Over 35 bottles/cans.
Once the new beer law goes into effect in July, I expect Sal and Mookie's to up the ante with lots of specials.
A great place to eat and drink.

Poughkeepsie Journal, 11:17 PM, Aug. 14, 2011
When Pawling teenager Shane Smith was killed in a car-motorcycle accident inJuly 2009, police discovered the 21-year-old man who was driving the car was intoxicated at the time of the crash.
The substance Johnson had ingested wasn’t alcohol or cocaine. It was heroin.
And in the two years since then, police, prosecutors, defense attorneys and substance abuse counselors say, heroin use among young people in Dutchess County has increased substantially.
“Heroin has become a middle-class phenomenon here,” said Michael North, director of the county Department of Mental Hygiene’s Intensive Treatment Alternative Program. ITAP is a drug rehabilitation program for those accused or convicted of crimes.
North said about 28 percent of his clients had heroin addictions in 2009, but the number has risen to more than 50 percent this year.
“It doesn’t seem like it’s peaked yet, either,” North said.
Those who are arresting and prosecuting drug users and traffickers say they’ve been seeing heroin use grow for at least three years.
“In 2008, about 25 percent of our cases involved heroin. Now, it’s about 60 percent,” said Frank Tasciotti, a coordinator of the Dutchess County Drug Task Force.
Tasciotti and Brett Orlich, another member of the task force, attributed the rise in heroin use to the easy availability of opium-based prescription drugs such as Oxycontin and Vicodin.
“Young people are getting hooked on those drugs, then if they can’t get them, they turn to heroin,” Orlich said.
He said many of those who become addicted don’t know how dangerous the drug can be.
“With a lot of drugs, if you take too much, you pass out,” Orlich said. “With heroin, you OD and you’re dead. It’s a very unforgiving drug.”
Dutchess County Senior Assistant Public Defender David Martin said heroin had become the “drug of choice” for many of his clients.
“We’re seeing a brand-new bunch of people — young people from the suburbs — showing up in court with heroin addictions,” Martin said.
Aviv Segal, a prosecutor with the county district attorney’s Narcotics Bureau, said the price of heroin has dropped steadily as supplies have increased in the past three or four years, leading more young people to try it.
“And the thing about heroin is how quickly it’s addictive,” the prosector said. “There are very few recreational heroin users out there.”

More and more young people are cutting the cord – to their telephones.
A federal study released yesterday found more than 25 percent of Americans between 18 and 29 only have cellphones at home and have altogether abandoned their land lines.
The trend has profound implications on how these “cord-cutters,” cellphone-industry slang for people without land lines, access emergency services like 911 and are represented in public polls.
Nearly 30 percent of adults between 25 and 29 years old and 25 percent of adults between 18 and 24 years old live in cellphone-only households, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention survey found. The survey was based on interviews with 13,056 households last year.
“I don’t have one land-line number from a person under 50,” said Till Wirth, 28, a grad student at New York University and Lower East Side resident. Instead, the land-lineless business student said he stays in touch via cellphone, instant messaging or Skype, an Internet communication service.
“It isn’t surprising,” said Joe Farren, spokesman for CTIA – The Wireless Association, of the survey. “This cord-cutter category continues to grow every year.”
About 233 million Americans are cellphone users – 25 million new people joined their ranks last year alone, according to Farren.
New Yorkers interviewed by The Post yesterday by and large said they could do without the expense of a redundant land line as they stay in touch via cellphone and Internet.
But, traditional 911 emergency hotlines can’t automatically trace cellphone or Internet calls for help.
“They are not always reliable to reach emergency help in your home,” warned Robert Martin, executive director of the National Emergency Number Association, which represents 911 service providers nationwide. “Currently, it’s a patchwork quilt, and your most reliable method is still a land-line phone.”
Many New Yorkers are unaware of that drawback.
“Now that I think about it, that’s scary,” said Jessica Bianco, a land-lineless 20-year-old Berkley College student from Bergen Beach, Brooklyn.
Still, New York City, which averages about 11 million 911 calls a year, is further ahead of the rest of the country with connecting its system to cellular telephones. They pay a tax on their mobile bills to fund “Enhanced 911.”
The city can usually trace a cell- phone 911 call to the nearest cell tower within 300 meters, according to the city’s Office of Information Technology and Communications.
Still, it can be daunting for responders to find a victim calling from an apartment in a large building. It is also working to allow citizens to send camera-phone images of crimes to 911.
Less dramatic, but also worrying, is the growing concern that cellphone-only young people are being left out of surveys because federal law severely restricts pollsters access to cellphones.
Their opinions – from consumer tastes to political views – are at risk of not being heard.
“It doesn’t cross my mind,” said Adam Krause, 24, a photographer from Greenpoint, Brooklyn, who hasn’t had a land line for three years.


If your car shudders when it idles and then smooths out when you accelerate, the problem may be related to your engine mounts. These are designed to help absorb vibrations and keep your engine from shaking too much.
If they’re worn out or damaged in any way, they won’t do their job properly. This can cause your engine to shake at idle speeds, but not while driving. There are a few ways to check if this is the problem first, take a look at your oil level if it’s low or dirty, you might want to drain and refill it.
Next up is a visual inspection if something looks broken or cracked on one of the mounts, it’ll need replacing immediately before further damage occurs. Check under the hood for any loose bolts or screws that could be causing the problem a quick tightening will often solve this issue.
What causes a car to shake and vibrate?
The most common cause of this issue is a bad wheel alignment, which can be caused by anything from hitting a pothole to simply driving too fast for too long. The reason this causes your car to shake and vibrate is that it changes the angle at which your tires meet the road.
If you’re experiencing this issue, take your car in for an inspection right away. It’s easy enough to correct the problem with new tires and an alignment, but if left unchecked it can lead to more serious problems down the line.
What are the symptoms of a bad engine mount?
The engine mount is designed to hold your engine in place. It helps absorb the vibration from the engine and allows the engine to run smoothly.
Engine mounts can wear out over time, which causes them to become loose or cracked. This leads to an increase in engine vibration and noise, which may cause your car to shake at idle but smooths out while driving.
How much does it cost to replace the engine mounts on my car?
This really depends on what kind of replacement parts you need—and how old your car is. If you’re looking at new engine mounts for an older model and it hasn’t been maintained very well throughout its life, expect to pay somewhere around $400-900 for new ones.
But if you’re looking at new motor mount replacements for a newer model and it’s been maintained well throughout its life, expect to pay somewhere around $150-400 for new ones.
What can I do to fix it?
Check your tires. Make sure they’re in good shape and have plenty of treads left. Check the alignment of your car. If it is out of alignment, this could be causing the shaking at idle. If those don’t work, try checking the balance on your tires or replacing them if needed.
Worn Out or Faulty Air Flow Meter
If your car is shaking at idle but smoothing out when you’re driving, it could be because the airflow meter is faulty. The airflow meter measures how much air is coming into your engine, and if there’s anything wrong with it like a bad sensor it will show up in the form of shaking at idle.
If this happens, you’ll need to have your car checked by a mechanic to make sure nothing else is wrong.
Why does it shake?
The first thing to try is adjusting the idle speed. The idle speed is the speed that you want your engine to run when you’re not pressing on the gas pedal. If your engine is running too fast, it can cause shaking in the car when it’s idle.
To fix this problem, watch for a dial on your dashboard labeled “idle speed.” Turn that dial until the number matches what is recommended by your car’s manual.
Another possible cause is related to the clutch. If this part is worn down or old, it can make the car shake when it’s idle because it can’t keep up with how fast the engine needs to run in order to keep itself running smoothly.
To check if this is causing your problem, check under your hood and look for an area called a clutch. If this looks worn down or damaged, consider replacing it as soon as possible.
The car’s engine is not adjusted correctly, and it needs to be fixed. The engine shakes at idle because there is too much air being sucked in, and the car smooths out while driving because there is less air being sucked in.

Social media commenters’ understanding of the antecedents of teacher-targeted bullying
This article reports on the findings of a small-scale, extant, qualitative social media research study on commenters’ understanding of the antecedents of teacher-targeted bullying. Comments on an article posted by Sarah Sorge (2013) on The Educator’s Room were used as data source. Guided by an ecological model and the attribution theory, the study identified victim and perpetrator attributes, colleagues’ indifference and unprofessionalism, school management’s lack of leadership and failure to address the problem, as well as socio-cultural factors and policy changes as antecedents of teacher-targeted bullying. It is argued that conventional teacher-learner power relations are flawed due to the unsupportive, even antagonistic attitudes of parents, colleagues, society at large, people in leadership positions and policy makers towards the victims of teacher-targeted bullying. It is concluded that, despite ethical dilemmas, the advent of the Internet and social media has created opportunities for researchers to use comments posted on the Internet as a data source to investigate teacher-targeted bullying.

She had arrived in Hawaii only days before, lured by a promise of pastry training as part of a cultural exchange program run by the U.S. State Department. The terms of her stay, under a visa known as J-1, were to spend the next 18 months working in the kitchen of a Waikiki restaurant — six days a week on 8-hour shifts beginning at 6:30 a.m.
But she found herself toiling inside the kitchen in a shift that began at 5:30 a.m. and stretched to 12 hours — without any breaks or overtime pay.

The Israeli Air Force’s fleet of armed and surveillance drones was an “integral” part of the recent round of fighting against the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group in the Gaza Strip, military officials said Wednesday.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, drones conducted more than 2,000 hours of flight time in some 100 sorties during the 66-hour battle, dubbed Operation Breaking Dawn, between August 5 and 8.
Dozens of targets were hit by the drones, mainly using the Elbit Hermes 450, which is operated by the Air Force’s 161st Squadron and the Artillery Corps unit 5252, from the Palmachim Airbase.
“The whole of Gaza is ‘covered’ with UAVs that collect intelligence 24 hours a day. From this intelligence, the Southern Command, the Gaza Division, the Air Force and other branches produce high-quality intelligence that turns into targets,” said Brig. Gen. Omri Dor, the commander of Palmachim.
“Some of these targets have been attacked by helicopters and fighter jets… and of course by our drones, which are also an integral part of the IDF’s offensive array,” he said.
In all, the IDF said it struck 170 targets, including two senior PIJ officials, 17 observation posts (six of which were manned by PIJ operatives), 45 rocket and mortar launching sites, eight military camps, eight weapon caches, six weapon production facilities, three targets related to the PIJ’s naval force and an “attack tunnel.”
Dor said the use of drones during the battle, and in general, was “diverse.”
“Starting with a very surgical event of finding a person or a single launcher and neutralizing it without causing collateral damage or harm to another person,” he said, to “excellent scanning abilities, which enables massive attacks [by fighter jets], as we have seen in recent times, and in recent years in general.”
Brig. Gen. Neri Horowitz, the commanding officer of the Artillery Corps, said the drones had been scanning the Gaza Strip in the days leading up to the battle, allowing them to have the intelligence to accurately target senior leaders, mortar and rocket launchers, including those which “were prepared for launch or those that had already fired.”
Dor said being able to conduct “aggressive attacks with a lot of explosives and minimal collateral damage” using fighter jets was thanks to the drones scanning the area.
During the recent battle against PIJ, the IDF said it delayed several strikes that would have been conducted, if not for drones identifying innocent people nearby who may have been hurt.
Still, Hamas authorities in the Gaza Strip said 49 people were killed amid the fighting, including 17 children. The IDF believes at least 12 people were killed by rockets misfired by Palestinian terrorists that landed short inside Gaza.
Hamas did not say how many of the total killed were affiliated with terror groups. At least 15 of those killed were claimed as members by the PIJ, Hamas and another smaller terror group.
Horowitz said the unit operating the drones has been a “significant force in many operations over the years and has an extensive combat heritage.”
Until recently, talk of Israel’s armed drones was barred from publication by the Military Censor. For years the IDF would not state it uses armed drones, and Israeli journalists who attempted to report on it came up against the IDF censor.
Horowitz confirmed that Unit 5252, the attack drone unit, has existed for more than two decades. “Since its inception, it has been a model for unique collaboration within the IDF,” he said.
Other drones used by the Israeli Air Force include the Hermes 900, also developed by Elbit, and the Israeli Aerospace Industries’ Eitan, also known as the Heron TP.
The IDF said that in general, drones consist of about 80% of the total operational flight hours in the Air Force. Israel has not disclosed how many attack drones it has.

On our last day in Dolphin Bay, we savored every last moment of relaxation.
We enjoyed our last leisurely breakfast of omelets, bacon, fruit, and whatever Thai dish was available.
We enjoyed sitting in the morning sunshine. Even with pink eye.
And we spent our afternoon lounging on the beach.
The kids worked hard on a sand castle with some of the kids they had met. This family's vacation lined up exactly with ours, so we saw a lot of them while we were there. They are international school teachers in Beijing.
The kids worked very hard on the details of their sandcastles.
while we sat back and watched them. (another token picture of me. yes, I was there.)
I thought it was strange that Kennedy didn't want to put her swim suit on. She played in the sand in her dress.
And even though Cade was ready to go home, he still seemed to have lots of fun at the beach.
One last trip into the ocean...
And our trip was done.
Cade fell asleep before dinner again (actually it was after we ordered and before our food arrived), so we enjoyed our last meal in the comfort of our room, and then we got up dark and early (around 4:00) the next morning to head to the airport. I'm already looking forward to our next trip!

During the glory years of the Wenger reign Arsenal were rather simple. We sprinted out the blocks, landed a series of blows on our opposition, and tried to knock them out quickly; a bit like a boxer who tries to KO his opponent within three rounds.
Nowadays we're more likely to gain a victory on points after a twelve-round slog-fest. The result is the same, but it's not always easy to watch. And the master of this new strategy is, ostensibly, Emmanuel Adebayor, who is fast becoming the king of the 80 minute goal - partially because he usually needs about 2-3 warm up chances before he slots one home.
I didn't watch the entire game last night; by the sounds of things I should be grateful. I haven't read a good word about the first half performance, and it seems that it took the indignity of a Emile Heskey near-miss to wake us up from our malaise. I could only start watching at around the late 50 minute mark, and one of the first things I saw was Adebayor spurn a pretty gilt-edged opportunity, set up by Theo. The game afterward was pretty scrappy. Baptista almost scored with a cheeky, if wonderfully struck, free-kick; Jens spilled a chance, albeit one far harder than Robben's, and was saved by Kolo; Adebayor missed another opportunity. We looked a bit blunt. At one point, Freddie was put through on the left. Instead of smashing the ball first time - as you know he would have done 2-3 years ago - he took a touch, over-complicated things and the opportunity was wasted. It seemed to sum up our approach in attack.
But then little Cesc came on and changed the game, putting in a wonderful tackle to win the ball, before floating over a beautiful route-one ball that Adebayor managed to control and poke through Kirkland's legs.
It seemed that we might just have been worth the win; but only just. The negative tone of the usually upbeat Arseblog surprised me but it doesn't seem like his comments were wholly unjustifiable.
However he was wrong to state that we wouldn't have won a game like that a year ago just because we won 3-2 up there last year. Last night's performance was ugly, and full of points we could criticise. But the fact remains that, without three vital players, and players who needed to be rested, we held things together and got a result that keeps us up in third. By December last year, we were in near free-fall in the league and, to me, the fact we did get a result shows we are slowly improving.
We need to improve our first half performances, because - with a few notable exceptions this season - its been our lethargy out of the blocks which has led to difficult games. But, I'm still encouraged that we can battle for 90 minutes, and pull a result out on a December night in the Northwest. What's important now is that we build on this result, tell Eboue to concentrate more, and, though I hate to say it, think about our long-term goalkeeping plans.

Warly Evan Alojado asks, “Which is better: ASUS Zenfone 5 Lite or Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro?“
Two new smartphones that were released earlier this year are put side-by-side to see which one has the upper-hand in each aspect. Will it be the Zenfone 5 Lite (2018) or the Redmi Note 5 Pro? Find out below!
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro is the latest addition to the Note series of the company. It has a 5.99″ 18:9 IPS display with 2160 x 1080 resolution, a Snapdragon 636 processor, a 64GB internal storage, a 4GB/6GB RAM, a 12MP + 5MP rear cameras w/ LED flash, a 20MP front camera with LED flash, and a 4,000mAh battery with fast charging.
The ASUS Zenfone 5 Lite (2018) is one of the smartphones that was announced by ASUS last MWC 2018 at Barcelona, Spain. It has a 6″ 18:9 IPS display with 2160 x 1080 resolution, a Snapdragon 630/430 processor, a 32GB/64GB internal storage, a 3GB/4GB RAM, a 16MP + 120-degree wide-angle rear cameras, a 20MP + 120-degree wide-angle front cameras w/ LED flash, and a 3,300mAh battery.
Here are their detailed specs:
|Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro||ASUS Zenfone 5 Lite (2018)|
|Display||5.99-inch 18:9 Full HD+ IPS display @ 2160 x 1080px||6-inch18:9 Full HD+ IPS display @ 2160 x 1080px|
|CPU||1.8Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 Octa-Core||Qualcomm Snapdragon 630/430|
|GPU||Adreno 509||Adreno 508/ 505|
|Memory||– 64GB Internal Storage|
– 4/6GB LPDDR4X RAM
|-32GB/64GB internal storage|
|Camera||-12MP Sony IMX 486 + 5MP rear camera with LED flash|
-20MP Sony IMX 376 front camera with LED flash
|-16MP + 120-degree wide-angle rear cameras|
-20MP + 120-degree wide-angle front cameras w/ LED flash
|Battery||4,000mAh battery with fast charging||3,300mAh battery|
|OS||Android 7.1.2 Nougat with MIUI 9.2||Android 8.0 Oreo (ASUS ZenUI 5.0)|
Here are the advantages of each smartphone:
ASUS Zenfone 5 Lite (2018)
+ Higher main rear camera resolution
+ Android 8.0 Oreo Out-of-the-box
+ Face Unlock
+ Dedicated microSD card slot
Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro
+ Better performing CPU
+ Better performing GPU
+ Larger maximum RAM (6GB)
+ Larger battery capacity
+ IR Blaster
+ VoLTE support
Both of the devices carry the same display setup making them on par with each other in this aspect. The 0.01″ difference is not much noticeable in real-world usage so we’ll just leave it as it is. In terms of viewing experience, either of them is a good pick for users who are fond of watching videos.
CPU AND GPU
The Zenfone 5 Lite has a Snapdragon 630 processor with an Adreno 508 GPU while the Note 5 Pro has a Snapdragon 636 with Adreno 509 one. If we base on the numbering scheme of Qualcomm’s processors, we can see that the higher the number, the more powerful the performance of a processor. This simply means that the latter has a better performing CPU as compared with the former.
The numbering scheme also applies to the Adreno GPUs which means that the Redmi Note 5 Pro has a better gaming potential than the Zenfone 5 Lite. Overall, if users want to have a better CPU and GPU performance, the Redmi Note 5 Pro is the right pick.
The Zenfone 5 Lite has a quad camera set up while the Redmi Note 5 Pro has dual rear cameras with a single front camera. The former has higher main rear camera resolution than the latter. We’ll be releasing sample shots from both smartphones soon so stay tuned.
The Redmi Note 5 Pro has a higher battery capacity than the Zenfone 5 Lite. On paper, the former should have a longer battery life based on its display and processor specs. Then again, the verdict is not yet final on this aspect until we get results from battery benchmarking applications.
The ASUS Zenfone 5 Lite (2018) is not yet officially priced while the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro is priced in the Indian market at Rs. 13,999 (~Php11,365) for the 4GB + 64GB variant and Rs. 16,999 (~Php13,801) for the 6GB + 64GB one.
If users like a smartphone with a dedicated microSD card slot, face unlock, and an Android 8.0 Oreo operating system right out of the box, then the Zenfone 5 Lite is the right choice. If they are inclined to performance and battery capacity, then the Redmi Note 5 Pro should be the right pick.
What do you guys think? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.


We’ve just found out that the Bluetooth SIG group has leaked the specs and official name of Samsung Giorgio Armani 2. This handset will be known as Samsung B7620 and it’ll pack an 800MHz CPU.
Samsung Giorgio Armani 2 Runs Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional and uses the same 800MHz processor that we saw on Samsung Jet. There’s also Stereo FM radio on board, with RDS, WiFi, A-GPS and Bluetooth. A business card scanner is also on the specs list, plus Pocket Office, a video editor and all sorts of audio and video codecs.
It’s possible that Giorgio Armani 2 will get a Windows Mobile 6.5 upgrade and a graphics chip might also be on board, but more on this once the official press release is out.

We can't seem to survive without the love and support of others. Sure, some people seem to make it work but as many centenarians have proven that after conscientiousness, healthy love and social influence makes life more fulfilling and can give us a sense of purpose not to mention extend our inevitable mortality.
From the moment we are conceived we begin to form our own autonomous self as we are faced with our dependence on others. This begins as a physical dependence for our physical security and grows into the need to have psychological, emotional and even spiritual support from others. The younger we are, however, the more we are influenced by our external world. Unmet needs, lack of nurturing, overbearing environments, childhood trauma and the like all influence how we begin to shape our internal reality and form the filter through which we see the rest of the world. This filter never goes away but instead becomes more and more permanent with age when gone unrecognized. It can distort how we view ourselves thereby distorting our impression of others and how we fit in the world around us.
If you are reading this it's because you were led here by your desire to understand love. Your present state of love and relationships is less than satisfactory and you want to understand more. Maybe you already realize that you have been in a relationship where one or both of you were emotionally unavailable. Perhaps you are aware that one or both of you have played the role of a Love Addict or Love Avoidant, maybe you have or are currently experiencing the extremes of manipulation and/or abuse. You may have already identified codependency, neediness, distance or overall communication breakdowns in your relationships. If you are still reading this, no matter what you may be feeling in your body (take a moment to notice if you feel anything in your body and don't judge it, just notice it), or emotionally please understand that you are not alone and needing healthy love in your life is natural. If you can relate to the definition of a Love Addict understand that you are addicted to an imagined idea (fantasy) and that is where the work lies, not in changing your desire for love.
If you are ready to let go of blame, judgement, and victimization (self or others), then follow the button below for examples of what various phases of a healing love journey may look or feel like for someone that desires to or has begun healing their unhealthy love patterns and experiences.

Can a 2005 6 speed transmission be swapped with a 2006?
(Toronto Canada )
Hi, I’m rebuilding my engine and wanted to replace my manual transmission. It has been nearly impossible to get into reverse( lockout solenoid is ok) and the battery will die if I can’t get it into reverse. Can I swap it with a 06-07 transmission? If so are any changes necessary, it’s a 2005 6.0l corvette convertible.

LC Regenerative Snubber for SEPIC Converter
The SEPIC converter is a type of DC/DC converter commonly used in electric vehicle (EV) applications. Unlike regular buck-boost converters, the output voltage polarity in the SEPIC converter is non-inverting. However, it suffers from energy stored in the leakage inductance of the primary inductor, which can damage the MOSFET switch. A snubber circuit is used to protect the switch, and ringing created from resonance increases the EMI of the converter.

While the ongoing debate about the separation and detention of families entering the country illegally has focused on Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Office of Refugee Resettlement, at least 12 Democrats have called for "abolishing" a third agency, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). ICE is the Department of Homeland Security's law enforcement agency that operates in the country's so-called interior, not at the border where families have been separated, and has a budget of approximately $6 billion.
ICE arrests, detains, and deports aliens accused of committing a wide range of crimes, including human trafficking and other serious crimes, but many criticize the agency for inhuman treatment of immigrants who have not committed serious crimes.
The call to "abolish ICE" began in June 2018 as an ambiguous call for change without a specific legislative proposal, with senators Warren (MA), Gillibrand (NY), and Sanders (VT) and representatives Pocan (WI), Serrano (NY), Jayapal (WA), Blumenauer (OR), McGovern (MA), Grijalva (AZ), Capuano (MA), Espaillat (NY), andVelazquez (NY) calling for abolishing ICE.
On July 12, Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI2) introduced legislation. Here's what it would do.
Does "Abolish ICE" mean ending immigration enforcement?
No legislator has proposed that.
Mijente, a national Latinx organization, has proposed not just getting rid of ICE, but also defunding CBP, ending privately-run detention centers, prohibiting use of the military in enforcing immigration policies, and more. But this sweeping reform hasn't been endorsed by any Member of Congress.
Even if a legislator were to call for the elimination of ICE with no replacement ----which no legislator has ----immigration enforcement would nevertheless continue. Although CBP patrols the so-called border, the law defines the U.S. border to contain two-thirds of the country's population. CBP might pick up the slack if ICE were eliminated, and could be tasked to enforce the laws left on the books that ICE currently enforces.
Eliminating a federal agency sounds extreme. But calls to abolish federal agencies are common. Since the start of 2017, there has been legislation introduced to eliminate the Environmental Protection Agency (H.R. 861), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (S. 370; H.R. 1031), the Export-Import Bank (H.R. 3114), the Department of Education (H.R. 899), and several smaller agencies (H.R. 6100, H.R. 6023, H.R. 5123).
Repeal and replace for immigration enforcement
H.R. 6361: Establishing a Humane Immigration Enforcement System Act, Pocan's bill, would establish a commission to report to Congress a plan to transition the essential functions of ICE to other agencies, with a focus on human rights and transparency, and it would terminate ICE one year after the bill becomes law.
Although ICE would end, the "Commission to Study and Establish a Fair and Humane System of Immigration and Customs Enforcement" would be directed to propose a plan that does not reduce the total federal employment, but instead ICE agents would be replaced with personnel responsible for the legal, health, and social-service needs of detained individuals and asylum-seekers. It would also provide recommendations to ensure federal agencies administer asylum requests in a prompt and timely manner.
The bill outlines the sponsors' rationale for abolishing ICE in eighteen easy-to-read bullet points and directs the commission to comply with international standards, including the Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees of 1967, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the Convention Against Torture.
Pocan issued a joint press release with Reps. Pramila Jayapal (WA-07) and Adriano Espaillat (NY-13) upon introducing the bill:
"Sadly, President Trump has so misused ICE that the agency can no longer accomplish its goals effectively. As a result, the best path forward is this legislation, which would end ICE and transfer its critical functions to other executive agencies."
Before introducing the legislation, Pocan hadproposed in a tweet that ICE's work to combat human trafficking "would be transferred to other agencies that already fight human trafficking." Rep. Espaillat proposed abolishing ICE and then creating a commission to propose a new immigration enforcement system. Espaillat, 62, is the first formerly undocumented immigrant to be elected to Congress. He is Dominican-American.
What opponents say
Rather than hold a vote on the bill, House Republicans voted Wednesday on a resolution in support of ICE, authored by Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA3). It passed 244--35, with 133 Democrats voting "present."
The resolution tells a different story about ICE than the Pocan bill. It provides a competing argument outlining ICE's recent accomplishments, such as criminal convictions on drug and violent crimes, and highlights the dangers of abolishing the organization. It is also written in plain-language and is also worth reading. Higgins said in a press release:
"ICE plays a crucial role for our nation's security and their service should be respected. Hopefully, this resolution will remind some of my colleagues across the aisle that we have been elected to serve American citizens, not foreign citizens, and certainly not illegal immigrants."
If any "abolish ICE" proposal were to be enacted, it is likely to be one that re-assigns ICE's responsibilities to other federal agencies ---if history is to be repeated. ICE's primary predecessor agency, Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), was a part of the Department of Labor from 1891--1933. It moved to the Department of Justice in 1940 during the lead up to World War II, during which INS ran (some) Internment Camps detaining Japanese Americans. And only in 2003 did it become "ICE" in the Department of Homeland Security, when the department was formed in the aftermath of the events of September 11, 2001.
Abolishing ICE could mean returning its violent crime enforcement operations to the Department of Justice and its labor law enforcement to the Department of Labor, while leaving its national security operations in the Department of Homeland Security.
Other calls for government reorganization
Major reorganizations of government agencies aren't uncommon either. Last month the Trump Administration proposed merging the Departments of Education and Labor and transferring some programs between three departments like musical chairs. And legislation introduced in Congress to abolish the Internal Revenue Service (H.R. 25 by Rep. Woodall; S. 18 by Sen. Moran) wouldn't end taxation, but it would transfer the responsibility. H.R. 31 by Rep. Hudson would create a commission to propose abolishing other agencies.
Reforming ICE where it is
The last major proposal regarding ICE is to keep the agency but reform its operations. Sen. Kamala Harris, who hasn't called for abolishing ICE, has proposed reducing ICE's funding and last year introduced legislation to clarify the rights of immigrants detained by ICE and CBP. Keeping ICE but reforming its operations could be a less disruptive change to immigration enforcement.
However, none of these three tactics to reform ICE are likely to be enacted any time soon --- not only because they are opposed by most Republicans, but because both parties are facing stark internal division on virtually all of the wide range of immigration issues being debated today.

Elliott Graber and Kevin Earlywine met at The University of South Dakota in 2007. They became friends and in 2013 they decided to try writing music together while struggling to survive in Los Angeles! The result was a sound that was a unique blend of old- fashioned harmony singing and exciting, percussive acoustic guitar. Inspired by famous duos that came before them, the two set out to use their unique sound to craft a special collection of music. Elliott Graber is from the beautiful town of Freeman, South Dakota and Kevin Earlywine hails from the great Rockford, Illinois.
Kendra Swanson is an independent folk music performer and songwriter. With strong, expressive vocals and energetic instrumentation, she applies a timeless sound to original compositions written from (and about) the American heartland.

The Lone Canary is a Folk/Americana duo comprised of Rockford, IL musicians Jesse Fox and Heather Camacho. They have an acoustic, rootsy sound echoing the styles of The Civil Wars, Noah Gundersen, Cory Chisel and Joshua James. Heather and Jesse grew up as childhood friends, living just a couple blocks from each other. They attended the same high school and church, where they played music together into their young adult years. Jesse, a solo artist since 2008, and Heather, who occasionally played and sang with him, officially joined forces in June of 2014 to form The Lone Canary.
Seasaw is Eve Wilczewski and Meg Golz, who are the sea and saw respectively. Fate and a small-town restaurant in Freeport, IL brought them together for the first time in 2010. Seasaw collaborated through four years of long-distance until the summer of 2015, when Eve joined Meg in their current residence of Madison, WI. Seasaw has since grown their powerful and charismatic sound in a way that can only be accomplished when best friends are living and creating within blocks of each other.

The perfect autumn centerpiece, our Fall Fare floral arrangement is a stunning showing of autumn colors and flowers.
We are so anxious to have fall finally arrive, that when the colors and flowers begin to come into the shop we jump for joy! Summer might, just might, be behind us, although the temperature disagrees! But the rest of the country begins to cool down, our children are back in school, and the trees begin to change color as Mother Nature starts her season. We have to drive 100 miles or so to see the beauty of the trees changing into their autumn colors, so we relish in the colors as them come into our shop!
A bit of orange, of course, complimented with purple and yellow will brighten any table this time of year. Flowers such as mums, spray roses, statice and carnations are beautifully designed with Fall Fare in mind!
Looking for something unique? Try our Autumn Veggie Basket, designed by Basket Express!

NAFSA Regional Workshop in Sacramento!
NAFSA Regional Workshop, Sacramento
Pre-Conference Workshop: Managing Conflict across Cultures
Tuesday, 10/24 from 1-5pm
Conflict can interfere with productivity and work satisfaction, and can affect bottom-line outcomes. How can we deal with conflict and lead most effectively? How does culture influence how we approach conflict? How is our own style similar to or different from those in our workplace?
In this interactive, skill-building workshop, we will address these questions and more by discussing four conflict styles grounded in recent intercultural leadership research, and develop strategies for bridging differences using highly interactive methods. Participants will be equipped with tools for resolving conflict more effectively, which will ultimately result in more effective and inclusive international education communities.
1.) Understand how culture influences how we perceive, think, and behave in conflict situations
2.) Identify four distinct styles of dealing with conflict and begin to accurately interpret the statements/actions of people with different conflict styles by understanding the values driving those behaviors
3.) Recognize and manage the emotional challenges of conflict and stereotypes of other conflict styles as they occur and appreciate styles that differ from your own
4.) Develop strategies and skills for adapting your communicative approach as appropriate during the conflict

Biography & exhibitions:
Empty wall bores me.
I use paints to disrupt the purity of the blank canvas with shapes and colors, featuring very loosely interpreted silhouettes prominently. I've lived my whole life surrounded with theater, art and beauty, - things I find the most meaningful inspiration. While suffering, weakness, and ugly emotions attempt to join the joy of abandon with color to create bold, bright, daring pieces. Experience is a virtue. Looking at my work puts you inside a moment to experience the laughter, the sadness, the confusion, the heartbreak, the fear and the bliss shared in a single expression. The colors, lines, and shapes I use seek to emulate how imperfect they seem in today's digital society.
