For almost two weeks, there was no trace of Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. However, he has been constantly appearing in front of the camera in recent years. As the leader of what he says is Russia’s “special military operation” in Ukraine, it was remarkable that he was now absent. Was there a bone between Shoigu and Putin? Was the defense minister fired? Or was he sick? A video published by the pro-state news agency TASS should prove otherwise.
The footage shows Shoigu presiding over a military meeting. Discusses arms supplies to the Russian army. We will continue to supply weapons and equipment. The priorities are long-range, high-precision weapons, aircraft equipment, and keeping strategic nuclear forces ready.”
The meeting was also attended by senior military officials, including the current Chief of Staff Valery Gerasimov, who also has not appeared in public for a while.

Mozart was the man of the moment last week, so why shouldn't the New York City Ballet celebrate the 250th anniversary of that composer's birth, too? The company did that on Friday at the New York State Theater with a program of dances by George Balanchine, one of them set to Mozart. That ballet was the best of the few works that Balanchine choreographed to the master's music. The performance of the piece, the 1956 "Divertimento No. 15," had role debuts by Sterling Hyltin, Yvonne Borree and Jonathan Stafford.
"Divertimento No. 15" is one of Balanchine's most serene and elegant works, its emotions glinting through the ballet's gracious but sometimes stultifyingly even pace. You long at times for someone to break loose. And though the choreography doesn't leave much room for individual spark, Ms. Hyltin did break away in her slightly brittle but wonderfully wayward-looking second variation and later in a fleeting pas de deux, in which her ardent upper body caught the music's dreaming ardor.
Ms. Borree was authoritative, but looked a little pushed in her variation, the third, as did Ms. Hyltin and most of the other female principals, who included Megan Fairchild, Abi Stafford and Miranda Weese. Mr. Stafford had the least to do of the principals, emerging as a handsome hunk who knew how to partner. The cast was completed by Philip Neal and Jason Fowler.
The program included "Firebird" and "Symphony in C." Clotilde Otranto was the guest conductor.
"Divertimento No. 15" will be performed on Wednesday and Sunday at the New York State Theater at Lincoln Center, (212) 870-5570 or www.nycballet.com.Continue reading the main story

The good stuff just keeps rolling on in! I have a special treat for you in this month’s WIP Wednesday post: the cover of Elixir Bound!
There’s so many great details. The bottle of Elixir at the top, the vine of little white flowers, and the main character, Katora. I love her expression. When I first saw the cover, I almost didn’t notice the shape of mountains at the bottom (a wonderful depiction of The Sleeping Giant mountain range from the book). The best part: what else but my name…on the cover of a book!!!
*Sighs* with contentment.
Seriously, though, the blog has gotten way too writerly/booky lately. I promise I’ll be branching out with some different topics. Look for some science updates, more magnetic poetry, maybe a fun anecdote or two. All that and more to come on my new website. That’s right…my website is just about ready. My next (and last post on blogger) will guide you to my new website.
What have all of you been up to?

According to webster's Nyamuswa eiaculazioni precoce farmaco levitra encyclopedic dictionary, acne is. Aubergine price at walgreens pharmacy in this study, an in-situ microelectrode was used to measure the currents through the ca1 neurons in hippocampus.
Found within just Korba, Heliopolis Ravish is the hottest contestant toward be a part of the limitless beat amongst connoisseur burger places to eat within just Cairo. In click more details opposition to the chains and the vacant bottles putting upon the wall toward the little buckets put upon the tables, Ravish incorporates an inner that is made up of come to be conventional of plenty of burger areas, with an unremarkable setting, still the open up kitchen area gave it a alternative atmosphere.
With competitors superior, just one would anticipate a selection of burgers upon the menu, however what we found out was some extremely simple solutions; out of 9 burgers, there are iphone giveaways 3 mushroom burgers, the Signature Mushroom (55LE), Signature Mushroom and Bacon (63LE), and Provolone Cheese with Mushroom Saute (55LE). We made the decision toward transfer with the Bird burger (45LE) and the Spicy Mexican (55LE), nonetheless neither ended up out there consequently we as an alternative started off with 1 of the further resourceful alternate options, the Salmon Burger (68LE).
Professing a nicely cooked piece of salmon, crowned with lettuce, ‘wasenasa’ sauce which was Really comparable in the direction of wasabi mayo, and sliced avocado and mango cubes, the burger experienced nearly anything of the fried sushi with regards to it and gave more information the burger unique flavours. The simply just function of the blend was the tempura onion rings, which didn’t meld with the other flavours. Within addition, it was Quite oily and the batter didn’t continue to keep jointly.
Relocating in the direction of our instant burger, the (160gm) Provolone Cheese and Mushroom Saut?burger (55LE) is almost certainly the great illustration of what Ravish is all over. The beef patty was tremendous juicy and knowledgeable properly, nevertheless the melted Italian provolone cheese stole the exhibit with its mouth-watering, gooey texture, which in just transform complimented the sweetness of the onions and the earthy flavour of the saut閑d mushrooms. The mayonnaise was a distinctive emphasize, in the meantime; it tasted selfmade and fresh new and was no cost of synthetic flavours. It gave the burger richness, which labored nicely with the refreshing shredded lettuce.
On your own can’t take in burgers devoid of fries, consequently tried using the cafe’s Pores and skin upon Fries (15LE) which have been sadly oily and ended up unremarkable, though the Eco-friendly Mayo Dip (8LE) we acquired was accurately wasabi flavoured mayonnaise. The Lovable Potato Fries (18LE), even now, had been very scrumptious, however, once more, it was tremendous oily and lacked seasoning. The Bacon and Blue Cheese Dip (8LE) we obtained wasn’t a lot of a dip, turning out in the direction of be bacon bits combined with blue cheese and oil ?still versus all logic, it was a delightful combo that may perhaps energy best upon a burger.
Owing in direction of the little sizing of the burger, we procured yet another one particular and we went with the (160gm) Signature Mushroom and Bacon burger (63LE). It tasted particularly the exact as the provolone cheese and mushroom, nevertheless in its place of cheese we obtained bacon.
We done our dinner with Torrjas with Vanilla Ice Product, Bananas and Insane (50LE), which is a burger bun wet within just milk and eggs then fried, not contrary to French toast. The outdoors of the bun experienced a eye-catching shade in direction of it and the cinnamon and sugar coat labored Pretty nicely with the contemporary bananas, the creaminess of the ice product and the outrageous, which gave it a crunch. Nevertheless, the centre was Really soggy and lacked any correct flavour. This was even more compounded by means of the real truth that the promised drizzled caramel was lost simply because it was out of inventory.
Over-all, our pay a visit to in the direction of Ravish proved in direction of be a incredibly high priced a person, with common achievements. Experienced Ravish opened 2 decades back, it may comprise astonished, however with currently’s opposition, it fails toward deliver every little thing refreshing towards an presently amazingly crowded desk.

Tremendous Turnout for Local Meeting
Over 750 Worthing Residents attended the newly formed “Bypass Not Throughpass” residents’ action group’s meetings at Worthing College held on Thursday 21 July 2016.
With the main meeting room full to capacity, the group had to put their contingency plan into operation. Group Secretary Nigel Kerridge addressed the 250 strong group of residents on the grass outside while, in a meeting room inside, about 500 residents heard about plans for the A27 from Chair Jack Delbridge and Helen Silman along with a presentation from Chris Todd from the Campaign for Better Transport.
Residents heard that current plans to dual the A27 could mean over 300 homes being bulldozed despite a shortage of housing in the area. Residents may struggle to access the A27 if local roads are blocked up and it might not even solve the traffic problems if the main junctions are not sorted out properly.
Planning is already underway to dual the road and so far there have been no public consultations. Options are already being ruled out. It is highly likely that only options around dualling the existing road will be “consulted” about. A local residents’ action group believes Worthing deserves better.
Hear the speeches at the meeting with lots of useful information.
The video on the left starts with the picture vertical but after a few minutes it is the right way up. So, stick with it, and your patience will be rewarded!
BYPASS NOT A27 THROUGHPASS ACTION GROUP
We are a group of local residents formed:
To achieve a bypass for Worthing:
To engage in all significant proposals to change the A27 between Shoreham Flyover and the Clapham/Patching junction; to ensure practicable proposals are acceptable to the affected residents and independently verifiable as likely to improve traffic flows;
To propose improvements to relevant authorities for consideration.
We are non-political. We believe Worthing deserves better for every resident and business.

NCRI – The first president of Tehran University after Iran’s revolution, Dr. Mohammad Maleki in an interview strongly condemned the crimes of the Iranian and Russian regimes in Aleppo and said: “Russia and Quds forces perpetrate massacres of the innocent Syrians and they proudly utter that they have snatched victory. They celebrate and distribute sweets in the streets. Qasem Soleimani also goes to Aleppo to walk by the corpses and burned ruins of the city. On the other hand, he criticizes the international community for falling silent against such crimes in Aleppo. He states:”it is so disheartening that the world lacks morality, decency, and humanity. Every day we see the images of children who were killed in Aleppo whereas the forces claim that they are fighting against terrorists.”
Dr. Maleki also addressed the Iranian regime as an existence that claims Islamism and he stated:”all these crimes are committed in the name of religion. You have completely spoiled religion. You wanted to develop Islam while you have already ruined Islam in your own country.”
Dr. Mohammad Maleki also referred to Ahmad Montazeri who was sentenced to 21 months of imprisonment and said:”they have given him such sentence to scare him and this government is like a person who is drowning and struggling to survive. I believe this regime has reached a deadlock.”
Following Ali Khamenei’s speech about the Minister of England, Mohammad Maleki stated: “how could the supreme leader address the Minister of England with such words? This is against ration, humanity, and morality.”
He also referred to the campaign of “Either Death or Freedom” in which the students of Mohammad Ali Taheri with more than 40 other people voluntarily went to Evin Prison. He praised their deeds and encouraged other groups such as workers, teachers, students and retirees to join the movement and develop its trends.
At the end, he added:”when different groups unite with each other, they can, therefore, stage unanimous and peaceful rallies. The people will also join them and this is the only way to save the country. The people will protest against the domineering regime and the regime cannot commit any crimes like before in the 80s.The media will be everywhere and the government is not allowed to commit any crime.”

If you haven't run across the news just yet, self-proclaimed infidelity site Ashley Madison was recently hacked by a team of infiltrators calling themselves the Impact Team, causing a reportedly enormous leak of user data. Rather than simply release the data to the public, however, Impact Team is threatening Ashley Madison owner Avid Life Media (ALM) with release of the data from some 37 million user accounts, if the company doesn't change its policies. ALM has confirmed that the leak is genuine, and says that it strongly suspects an insider is responsible, or at least assisted in the intrusion.
While it was first surmised that Impact Team was taking some sort of principled stand against cheating and trying to expose unfaithful spouses, it's now apparent the hacking group is outraged at the lack of protections for users, in a round-about sort of way. The hackers don't like that ALM has been charging users for a "permanent delete" of their accounts, and alleges that the company is not actually deleting sensitive customer information, in any case. The attackers released a 40MB teaser-file earlier in the day, making it clear the breach was real, and proving that ALM was retaining credit card information on subscribers even after they had paid for permanent deletion.Impact Team, an anonymous group of criminal hackers, is not to be confused with Hacking Team, a semi-anonymous group of not-quite-criminal hackers.
According to Brian Krebs(Opens in a new window), quoting now-defunct links to a statement by Impact Team, the hackers are demanding the complete shutdown of both Ashley Madison and the lesser-known Established Men site, both run by ALM. If the company does not do as "instructed," they say, they "will release all customer records, including profiles with all the customers’ secret sexual fantasies and matching credit card transactions, real names and addresses, and employee documents and emails.”
This proposal is of course insane -- a bit like telling someone to shoot themselves or else you'll kill them. Taking Ashley Madison down would be death to ALM, without a doubt; what incentive does it have to shut down, when the worst possible consequence of not shutting down is... being forced to shut down? The company is unlikely to care too much about helping its customers save face, so why shouldn't the site gamble that it can survive the release? From its own limited perspective, it simply has nothing to lose.This image shows a snippet of a statement reportedly released by Impact Team, alongside a small teaser leak, early Monday.
And the hackers are not likely to be bluffing -- though the message seems upset with lax privacy standards at ALM, it also calls the users themselves "cheating dirtbags and deserve no such discretion," in reference to the protection of their user data. Given the tone of Impact Team's various statements and actions, ALM could assent to every one of the demands, and the hacking group might just go on and release the information anyway.
This breach comes just months after a similar breach of user data from the "hookup" website AdultFriendFinder, though the incidents seem to be unrelated.
You simply can't escape cyber-crime if you're a business these days. If you're a small business, people might walk in and physically compromise your card-scanner, turning you into an unwitting accomplice in their card scamming plots. And if you're a large business, the vault-like concentration of monetary value in your central databases makes attempted breaches all the more likely. After all, there is no shortage of people willing to risk their lives by robbing physical banks; when similar gains can be achieved from the relative safety of a library computer kiosk, you have to expect that this will be an intractable problem.Sony Pictures, hacked by Guardians of Peace (GOP) warning message.
The only solution, long term, is a more demanding customer base. People who send their personal data over the internet, whether to cheating sites or online shopping, need to require better and more specific documentation of exactly how their information is secured. However, as shown by the permanent delete issue in this very story, some level of transparency will be necessary to validate security claims. We have health inspectors to keep the food service industry honest, and consumers safe -- why not have online security inspectors doing equivalent work in the online space?
The simple answer is that it would be expensive -- but increasingly, the national-scale economic implications of data breaches are becoming clear. Whether you're Ashley Madison or Target, Sony or the CIA, the low level of modern computer security leaves you open to all sorts of attacks and infiltrations. That might never change -- but with the right policies in place it might be possible to insulate the average customer from most of that danger.Many people won't care about the outing of a bunch of married cheaters -- but as ALM Chief Executive said himself, "Like us or not, this is still a criminal act."

Many mistresses prefer to do Christmas gifts with their hands. But a new year's gift should be appropriate to decorate. The decoration of the embroidery has always been considered very beautiful and elegant. Embroidery snowflakes will make any thing original and unique.
Your ideas of Christmas decorations at home can impress your friends and relatives. So think about how you could decorate the room, using not only traditional jewelry. And if you already have almost finished products, but you do not know how to decorate them, you can always use embroidery. For example, it can even be a simple tablecloth.
Cross-stitch for the New year perfectly decorate the tablecloth, which you can cover on the festive table. Embroidery snowflakes will not take you very much time, especially if you take into account that there are different in complexity and size of the scheme.
Embroidery snowflakes will look great in the corners of the tablecloth. And if you take into account that the New Year's cross-stitch embroidery is perfectly combined with various decorative elements, such as ribbons, rhinestones and beads, your New Year tablecloth will be original decorated. We offer you embroidery schemes for the New Year, which depict snowflakes.
Embroidery snowflakes can be monochrome. and two or three colors. Monochrome embroidery will take you much less time. But adding color will make your work more decorative. By the way, monochrome embroidery is also good in that it is very easy to select additional decorative elements.
Christmas snowflake embroidery can also be carried out using conventional sewing machines. It is possible to embroider the machine very quickly, but the received patterns will surprise everyone with their smoothness of lines and the complexity of the elements. Of course, embroidery a sewing machine requires a certain skill, so beginners should practice on a separate shred. Just draw the pattern on the fabric and put the sewing machine in the embroidery position (only if this function is provided in the model of the machine). You can begin to embroider snowflakes with sewing threads that you have chosen.
Remember that quality machine embroidery snowflakes You get only thick enough fabric. So use for machine embroidery with nice tight fabric. During embroidery, always follow the tension of the tissue. Insufficient tension will lead to the fact that Your work will be spoiled.

Usually, for sewing a seam back with a needle use threads of the same color. To emphasize the beauty of embroidery and make it more festive, you can use metallic threads. Such snowflakes will beautifully shine and shimmer. You can also use special threads, painted in three colors. So you will create beautiful and unpredictable shades!

Course: West Speed: 4 knots
Wind: Southwest, light
Weather: Overcast, mild
Day's run: 53
We got away as planned at 3.30 p.m. with little fuss, cleared the entrance
to Dieppe's Harbour and set sail, close hauled on the starboard tack with a
nice little breeze from the north, not what was forecast but actually an
improvement. But not for long, by 5.30 what little wind there was started to
fade, in response I dropped the heavy sails and hoisted the drifter, and the
wind continued to die. At 7.30 we had a tease of a breeze, the drifter had a
small tear in it from chafing against the spreaders, there not being enough
wind to hold it clear, I dropped the drifter and raised the mainsail and
jib, for twenty minutes . it must have been the winds last gasp because by 6
pm there was not even a puff. I dropped the sails and drifted. But no, not
quite the last gasp, at 8.50 we had another go, a puff, back up with the
sails . until just before midnight when again 'down dropt the breeze, the
sails dropt down/ 'Twas sad as sad could be;/And we did speak only to break/
the silence of the sea!' We were drifting again. No problems, we had made a
good offing and were well south of the shipping lanes, so I figured I could
relax. Accordingly I set the kitchen timer for an hour and enjoyed a
relatively undisturbed sleep for the evening, happy that I was sleeping free
of marina charges.
At 5.30 a.m. the wind returned, from the south, again not as forecast but
again better (the forecast wind being from the southwest, the direction in
which we wish to go, any other direction had to be better). We have since
held a light breeze, it has in fact now backed into the southwest but it is
such a nice little headwind, we are making a steady four knots, and while
tidal streams are relatively strong it all averages out after a while, so I
I have set a waypoint in the GPS for Cap de le Hague, 80 miles away. From
there I think I will make for Alderney or one of the other Channel Islands.
The French Custom's officers recommended St Malo but it is a bit of a detour
off my planned track, I will ponder some more on this, for now we will
concentrate on making as much westing as possible.
We have just crossed the Greenwich meridian again, the longitude has
mysteriously flipped from east to west.
All is well.
"Mkgnau!", "Mrkgnao!", "Mrkrgnao!", "Gurrhr!".
Skipper Bob has been re-reading Joyce's 'Ulysses' again. I have been
glancing over his shoulder. Now apparently Mr Joyce is celebrated (by some)
as the greatest master of the English Language since John Milton, hmmm, well
I have to say, these quotations above, master of cat language James is not,
or are these some feeble attempts at onomatopoeia? Maybe 'pussens' is Irish
and speaks Gaelic-Cat. And really . 'pussens', how condescending! Us cats
need grand sounding names as due to our ancient and proud heritage. "Bob
Cat" for instance, is tough, compact, simple, even elegant, wholly suitable
(thank you Morgan). Really I do not think the critics have given this
important theme enough attention. I've said it before and will say it again,
the land of the Pharaohs had it right, and human civilization has all been
downhill since. Where is Elbuort? I wonder what he knows about such things.
Maybe if I go back to sleep he will appear to me .. Zzzzzzz.

Middle East carriers are one step closer to tapping into the lucrative Japanese market as both Emirates and Etihad Airways launched their flights to Tokyo yesterday, with Qatar Airways following suit on April 26.
Emirates will operate five weekly flights to the Japanese capital, adding to its daily service to Osaka that was launched in 2002.
While Etihad Airways did not divulge the load factors it expects from the Japanese route, Emirates said in a statement earlier it is expecting its seat factor to be more than 80 per cent on Tokyo route during its first year of operations.
Richard Vaughan, Divisional Senior Vice-President, Commercial Operations Worldwide, Emirates, said in a recent statement: "We have a great deal of experience in serving Japan and we are confident of robust demand for our Tokyo services.
"There is already a solid demand from Tokyo. Almost 75,000 passengers from the Kanto area travelled to Dubai between 2008 and 2009 using our Osaka flight. We are happy to be able to offer a non-stop route for these passengers through our Narita [Tokyo] service."
Meanwhile, Abu Dhabi-based Etihad will also operate five non-stop flights per week to Tokyo, in addition to the five flights per week it offers to Nagoya. [Emirates pulled out of Nagoya in February last year, having launched in 2006, as the route had proved to be uneconomical and the airline had "no plans" to reinstate the service on that route according to an Emirates spokesperson earlier].
James Hogan, Etihad Airways' Chief Executive Officer, said Etihad was expecting a high volume of traffic on the route, particularly business travellers.
He added: "Japan is a key market for Etihad and will be an important focus in 2010. We have worked closely with the Japanese Government to enable us to start services between our two capital cities, and we thank them for their support."
Etihad's Tokyo services follow the commencement of the airline's flights to Nagoya in February this year and code-share services with All Nippon Airways this month.
The Doha-based Qatar Airways, which already flies to Osaka, will jet into the Japanese capital daily, representing a significant increase in capacity for the Japanese market. Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said in a statement: "Tokyo is Japan's commercial and financial centre and has been on Qatar Airways' wish list of destinations for a number of years. It is only now that we are able to serve Tokyo due to new traffic rights and slot availability at the city's main Narita International Airport."
According to industry figures, trade relations between Japan and the UAE have grown by 300 per cent to more than $57 billion (Dh209.3bn) in 2008 from $14bn in 2002.
Currently, there are about 350 Japanese companies operating and more than 3,500 Japanese expatriates living in the UAE.
While the UAE-based carriers are benefitting from this growing business, another opportunity that has opened more avenues for these carriers is the downfall of Japan Airlines earlier this year; the carrier filed for bankruptcy protection in a highly publicised media blitzkrieg, with ¥2.32 trillion (Dh95.5bn) in liabilities.
JAL also had announced it would cut international and domestic routes, including eight flights on routes from Tokyo to New York-Sao Paulo and Shanghai, besides nine other routes inside Japan. At the time, Richard Jewsbury, Emirates' Senior Vice-President Commercial Operations for the Far East and Australasia, had told Emirates Business: "Japan Airlines is a longstanding partner. We have a code share agreement with JAL on our existing Osaka daily service. This partnership will be expanded to include a code share on the new Dubai-Tokyo-Dubai service.
"We have no intentions of cancelling the code-share agreement as it delivers significant value to both Emirates and JAL," he said.

In this new insideBIGDATA Guide to Manufacturing, the goal is to provide enterprise thought leaders in the manufacturing sector ways to obtain greater value from their company’s data assets through use of big data technology.
This article is the first in a series that explores the benefits that manufacturing firms can achieve by adopting big data technologies. The complete insideBIGDATA Guide to Manufacturing is available for download from the insideBIGDATA White Paper Library.
Big Data for Manufacturing – An Overview
Manufacturing concerns consistently have sought ways to reduce waste and variability in their production processes to dramatically improve product quality and yield (e.g. the amount of output per unit of input). Further, these companies need a granular approach toward recognizing and correcting manufacturing process flaws. Big data technology provides just such an approach and many high tier manufacturers possess a significant degree of interest and motivation in adopting the big data technology stack.
Big data analytics refers to the application of tools based on principles of computer science, statistics, data mining algorithms and mathematics to enterprise data assets with the fundamental goal to assess and improve business practices. In manufacturing, operations managers can use big data to drill down into historical process data, discover previously unidentified knowledge among discrete process steps and inputs, and then optimize the factors that are shown to have the greatest effect on yield. Many manufacturers across a broad range of industries now have an abundance of real-time shop floor data and the capability to conduct sophisticated statistical learning assessments. They are taking previously siloed data sets, aggregating and joining before analyzing them to reveal key insights.
Even when considering manufacturing operations that are thought to be best in class, the use of big data may reveal further opportunities to increase yield above industry benchmarks. In addition, companies can reduce their waste of raw materials, reduce energy costs and thus increase profitability by rigorously assessing production data, all without having to make additional capital investments or implementing major change initiatives.
The essential first step for manufacturers that want to use big data to increase yield is to consider how much data the enterprise has at its disposal. Most manufacturers collect vast troves of process data but typically use them only for tracking purposes, not as a basis for improving operations. The challenge is for these players to invest in the systems and skill sets that will allow them to enhance their use of existing process statistics. For example, it might be prudent to index information from multiple sources so it can be analyzed more easily and hire data scientists who are trained in identifying patterns and drawing actionable business insights from the data.
Some manufacturers, particularly those with lengthy production cycles, have too little data to be statistically meaningful when put under a data scientist’s magnifying glass. The challenge for thought leaders at these companies will be taking a long-term focus and investing in systems and practices to collect more data. They can invest incrementally, e.g. gathering information about one particularly important or particularly complex process step within the larger chain of events, and then applying sophisticated analytics to that part of the process.
Big data is becoming a strong competitive advantage in the manufacturing industry. In fact, big data savvy is nearly a necessity these days because many companies feel if they don’t adopt a data-centric business strategy it could affect their competitive landscape in the next 3-5 years. As a result, manufacturing businesses, across a wide range of categories and verticals, are exploring ways to adopt big data. Here are just a few areas of interest for big data under the manufacturer’s prism:
- Manufacturers are seeing a higher degree of visibility into supplier quality levels, and improved accuracy in predicting supplier performance over time. Using big data, manufacturers are able to view product quality and delivery accuracy in real-time, making trade-offs on which suppliers receive the most time-sensitive orders.
- Selling only the most profitable customized or build-to-order configurations of products that impact production the least. For many complex manufacturers, customized or build-to-order products deliver higher-than-average gross margins yet also costs exponentially more if production processes aren’t well planned. Using big data, manufacturers are discovering which of the myriad of build-to-order configurations they can sell with the most minimal impact to existing production schedules to the machine scheduling, staffing and shop floor level.
- Measuring compliance and traceability to the machine level becomes possible. Using sensors on all machinery in a production center provides operations managers with immediate visibility into how each is operating. Big data can also show quality, performance and training variances by each machine and its operators. This is invaluable in streamlining workflows in a production center, and is becoming increasingly commonplace.
- Quantify how daily production impacts financial performance with visibility to the machine level. Big data is delivering the missing link that can unify daily production activity to the financial performance of a manufacturer. Being able to know to the machine level if the factory floor is running efficiently, production planners and senior management know how best to scale operations. By unifying daily production to financial metrics, manufacturers have a greater chance of profitably scaling their operations.
For an important perspective on this new found awareness, the “Industrial Internet Insights Report for 2015” sponsored by GE and Accenture considers the rise of the “Industrial Internet,” the combination of big data analytics with the Internet of Things (IoT), and how it is producing huge opportunities for manufacturers. The report includes a number of telling highlights for how manufacturers see big data affecting their bottom lines:
- 67% of manufacturers report strong board level support as primary influencer for big data initiatives.
- 87% of manufacturers report big data is one of the top three priorities.
- By introducing big data analytics and more flexible production techniques, manufacturers could boost their productivity by as much as 30%.
- 70% of manufacturers report interest in using big data to “gain insights into customer behaviors, preferences and trends”—more than any other industry.
The goal for this Guide is to provide strategic direction for enterprise thought leaders in the manufacturing sector for ways of leveraging the big data technology stack in support of analytics proficiencies designed to work more independently and effectively in today’s climate of striving to increase the value of corporate data assets.
Over the next few weeks we will explore these manufacturing topics:

So you met this guy, you got talking, and he seemed perfect. He was loving and romantic, and you thought this would be a long-term relationship. Then suddenly, he rejected you and didn’t communicate anymore.
There are a few reasons why this occurs, and it could be due to commitment or unresolved issues from his past.
In this article, we will be exploring the reason that could lead to this and what to do in such situations.
Love and relationships are complicated situations that are established on the basis of trust and communication.
Hence, situations that seem like confusing signals are being given can be nerve-wracking.
When it comes to men, there are a lot of reasons why they can reject you after seeming interested in you.
Some of these reasons are based on character uniqueness, and some are based on issues that may have troubled him in the past.
9 reasons he rejected you even though he seemed interested
There are many reasons why men may reject you even though they seem interested; listed below are 9 reasons why.
- He doesn’t actually like you
- He is afraid of commitment
- He has unresolved feelings for someone else
- He isn’t yet ready for a relationship
- He thinks you love someone else
- He only wants intimacy
- He has low self-esteem
- You are too clingy or too distant
- You are too arrogant and prideful
He doesn’t actually like you
Yes, as painful as it might sound, one of the major reasons why men may reject you is because they were never really in love with you in the first place.
A lot of men are too nice to tell you outright that they are not interested in you anymore, so they try to keep the interaction alive till it dies out.
Some toxic men will signal that they might be interested in you when they had no desire for you in the first place.
You need to understand early on if he actually wished to take it further with you to prevent yourself from getting hurt or getting too attached.
He is afraid of commitment
A lot of guys with commitment issues have feelings for you but are scared of going into a serious relationship.
This could be due to a few issues ranging from fear of breakup to fear of betrayal.
They will continue to give you attention but will shy away or avoid you once you make advances to take the relationship to a more official state.
Depending on your character, commitment issues could be a red flag in a man as it signifies a man who may shy away from certain bittersweet factors in a relationship.
If it’s commitment issues, then you may have a chance with him in the future as he might return back to you when he is ready.
He has unresolved feelings for someone else
This is a major reason why a lot of men who seem very interested will reject you eventually. They may still have emotions for their ex or another woman in their lives.
These rather conflicting emotions cause him to fear moving forward with the relationship and influence him to reject your advances.
Men typically do this with the hope that they could eventually be together with the target of these feelings or return to them in the case of an ex.
This is actually a sign to be wary of early on in your talks because, in a relationship, these unresolved feelings could lead to a breakup.
He isn’t yet ready for a relationship
Relationships take a lot of time and attention, and he might not be ready for it now due to a lot of personal reasons.
It doesn’t mean you are not good enough, or you are doing anything wrong; perhaps he just loves your company and will come for you when he is emotionally ready for a relationship.
Stress and many other issues can affect his thinking along this path, and it’s best to allow him to decide when he is ready.
Respect his choice, and don’t force him into the relationship.
He thinks you love someone else
Do you talk a lot about another guy in his presence? Does he know you are fully single? Sometimes men get the feeling that the girl isn’t really interested in them or that there is another man in the picture.
Most men prefer to have their lovers to themselves, so the thought of someone being in the picture can make him outrightly reject the relationship.
Men also want to be reassured that the girl they like reciprocates their feelings. So it’s best to act in a way that gives him a clue that you are completely single and that you like him too.
Also, make it very clear to him that you aren’t romantically involved with any of your friends; this clears up things in his eyes.
He only wants intimacy
As vulgar as it might sound, some men are not interested in relationships but only in your body. They are repulsed by the idea of a long-term relationship of affection.
It’s best to accept that there are indeed people like this and also resist the urge to give in to his desires with the hope of changing him.
While people are indeed capable of changing, you should not let yourself be used that way.
You deserve to be with someone who you don’t have to appease constantly with your body.
He has low self-esteem
This is a huge issue with a lot of men, and it’s a major Eason why they don’t end up with the women they like.
They can’t bring themselves to accept that they are up to your standard or that they are capable of making you love them.
This self-esteem issue can stem from looks, financial capability, and charisma insecurities. He might think you find him amusing and of low class.
The danger in this is the fact that you will never know how deep this insecurity has eaten into him.
If you truly like him, show him a few signs that could help him recover his confidence, and you could compliment him genuinely.
Compliment and not flatter as flatter is often misunderstood as subtle mockery.
You are too clingy or too distant
Are you the type that calls him 100 times a day? You are constantly checking up on him, you get annoyed when he pays attention to something else, and you are with him 24/7.
Well, no one likes to be suffocated. It’s not bad to be vested in him but give him some breathing space once in a while.
Allow him to his to do his own thing, allow him to make friends and hang out alone too.
He might also reject you for not being around at all. A relationship is heavily dependent on attention and communication; if he has to beg you to show him some attention or even hang out with him, he might not want to move forward with the relationship
I understand that you might be a private person, but love requires some sacrifice; you should make out some time to spend with him.
You are too arrogant or unapproachable
Respect is important in a relationship, and it’s a game changer for men. If you constantly ooze out an aura of arrogance and pride, he might be turned off by this display.
Perhaps you constantly look down on him and act without considering his feelings.
You can try to be more accommodating to his views and consider his opinion before making decisions; even if the opinion is the same as yours, he will appreciate you asking.
What do I do when he rejects me after being interested?
Dealing with rejection can be hard, especially for someone you loved and hoped to have a long-term relationship with.
Here are 8 ways to deal with rejection from someone who seemed interested.
- Allow yourself to experience the feelings
- Give yourself time to heal
- Understand that you will go through grief
- Stop the Self Blame
- Practice Self Care
- Get a Therapist
- Try again
- Confide in Someone
Allow yourself to Experience the Feelings
Allow yourself to experience the emotions that come with rejection. It will be painful, but it’s better to let them out.
You might think they will never stop but be reassured that it will get better eventually.
So, allow yourself to cry that pain out. Bottling up the emotions will only lead to further self-blame and harm.
Give yourself time to heal
Taking time to deal with your emotions and feelings is recommended. Maybe a vacation or a weekend of binge movie watching.
Just find something to distract you from the event that has happened. By doing this, you distance yourself from the rejection and prevent yourself from getting tangled up in it.
Understand that you will go through grief
Yes, you will go through the five stages of grief. It is best to be prepared for when they start hitting.
Accept the hurt that has come upon you and find a way to channel the emotions out positively.
You can let your emotions out creatively and work on an art project or a book project. Just something to help you deal with the event that has happened.
Stop The Self-Blame
When rejected, you might get the overwhelming urge to blame yourself, believing it’s your fault for not being more loving, accepting, and receptive to his desires.
It’s not your fault; it takes two willing people for a relationship to work. You can invite someone to a relationship, but ultimately it’s their choice to commit to the relationship.
People leave for a lot of reasons, and most of the time, it’s about them and not you.
Practice Self Care
Eat well, exercise, take a walk, and sleep properly. Being rejected might tempt you to compromise on your health habits, but that’s ultimately more dangerous than any rejection at all.
After rejection, it’s time to be yourself again, be kind to yourself and surround yourself with positive and reassuring vibes.
Who knows, this might be time to try out yoga and meditation.
Get a Therapist
If you feel too overwhelmed, then a therapist might be a good option. They are willing to dedicate the time, support, and patience required to help you get through the dark emotions that might cloud you.
You can schedule an appointment with any in the cities near you.
Being rejected shouldn’t be the end of your love life. You were just rejected, and there are millions of people in the world who would love to have you as a partner.
Once you are confident that you have healed enough, then it’s time to return to the dating solace and eventually find your ‘happily ever after man.
Confide in someone
When dealing with rejection, having a friend or family as part of your support system is a great way to vent your emotions. Reach out to them. Allow them comfort and support you.
One day you might be able to act in that capacity for them. A support system means you get advice from people who might have experienced such emotions before.
Ultimately relationships are a personal choice and cannot be forced. As such, a lot of reasons could affect a man’s interest in you.
Most of the time, you are not the problem; they might have personal issues weighing them down.
So, should he reject you after seeming interested, accept his decision and acknowledge that he might not have been the perfect one for you.
There are a lot of alternatives, so if you do get rejected, you have a good chance of still finding happiness with someone.
In this article, we discussed why men reject even after seeming interested and what to do in such situations.

Does CBC confirm pregnancy?
Complete Blood Count (CBC)
To identify and prevent problems, a CBC may be done before pregnancy, if possible, at the beginning of pregnancy, and one or more times during pregnancy. The first baseline results can be compared to later values to look for changes that could indicate a health issue.
What is a CBC blood test for pregnancy?
One of the routine pregnancy blood tests you’ll have is the complete blood count (CBC). This test looks at the different parts of your blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Can normal blood test detect pregnancy?
It can find smaller amounts of HCG, and can confirm or rule out a pregnancy earlier than a urine test. A blood test can detect pregnancy even before you’ve missed a period. Pregnancy blood tests are about 99 percent accurate. A blood test is often used to confirm the results of a home pregnancy test.
What blood test shows early pregnancy?
During one of your first visits, your doctor or midwife will identify your blood type and Rh (rhesus) factor, screen for anemia, check for immunity to rubella (German measles), and test for hepatitis B, syphilis, and HIV and other STDs.
What does a CBC blood test show?
The complete blood count (CBC) is a group of tests that evaluate the cells that circulate in blood, including red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets (PLTs). The CBC can evaluate your overall health and detect a variety of diseases and conditions, such as infections, anemia and leukemia.
How does pregnancy affect CBC?
Complete Blood Count (CBC) and Anemia
Because of the normal changes in pregnancy, it is very common for your haemoglobin to go down. Women experience a 50% increase in their blood volume during pregnancy but only a 30% increase in the number of red blood cells.
What is a normal blood count for pregnancy?
That’s why pregnant women are recommended to have a hemoglobin level of 12-16g/DL and any value below 12 is considered as iron deficiency and below 10.5 as anemia. Iron deficient anemic women have shorter pregnancies than non-anemic or even anemic but not iron deficient pregnant women.
Can a blood test detect pregnancy at 1 week?
A blood test for hCG can detect pregnancy with more than 99 percent accuracy as early as one week after conception. A qualitative pregnancy blood test simply looks for any hCG in your bloodstream to confirm pregnancy.
How does a blood test determine pregnancy?
Your doctor can give you a blood pregnancy test as early as 11–14 days after ovulation. To perform a blood pregnancy test, the doctor draws blood from a vein in your arm. This blood is sent to a laboratory for testing. The results of most blood pregnancy tests take at least a couple of days.
How can I check if Im pregnant without a pregnancy test?
The most common early signs and symptoms of pregnancy might include:
- Missed period. If you’re in your childbearing years and a week or more has passed without the start of an expected menstrual cycle, you might be pregnant. …
- Tender, swollen breasts. …
- Nausea with or without vomiting. …
- Increased urination. …

In the hustle and bustle of a city, have you ever stopped to think about the soil under your feet? If not, you can be forgiven. Soils in urban places – be they villages, towns, cities, or suburbs – have often been overlooked by not only the general public, but also scientists.
Soil science has its roots in the 1800s. Emerging out of agricultural necessity and geological curiousity, soil science was founded with scientists like Liebig studying nutrients stored in soils to understand plant nutrition, and Dokuchaev identifying some of the foundational principles of soil formation. To this day, most of our soil science has been focused on agricultural and natural environments.
Whilst soil science was being born on Russian steppes and agricultural fields in the 19th Century, the industrial revolution was rapidly transforming soils across the Western world as urban settlements rapidly grew. As heavy machinery and vehicles became more commonplace, our settlements got denser and roads, railway tracks, pipes and cables disturbed soils across landscapes. Today, whilst urban land use only makes up a small percentage of our land area – only 1% of habitable land supports human settlements and infrastructure globally – the soil in these areas still matters.
Soils provide many services to us as human beings: they infiltrate water helping reduce flood risk, they store carbon helping to regulate the climate, and of course they support plant growth and help put dinner on the table. Most of our food comes from agricultural fields, but what about soils in cities – could they play an important part in food production and our diets? This is a question we have been exploring at Lancaster University through our Rurban Revolution project.
Whilst we might not have dedicated much of our space in towns and cities to growing food today, there’s lots of opportunity to do so. Our study of the UK showed that the greenspace we have in towns and cities could provide us with up to 40% of the fruit and veg we currently grow on farms in the UK or import. This estimate assumes that we can get the same yields on this land as in horticultural farms, and it includes using all of our playing fields, parks and gardens for growing. Using all this space isn’t realistic of course, but it suggests that by even using a small fraction of this land we could significantly boost our supplies of fresh local fruit and veggies.
But can urban soils be as productive as farmland? Our recent research suggests that yes they can! We compiled data from 200 studies conducted across 53 countries around the world where people had measured urban yields, for a whole host of crops. We found that for almost all crops, urban agriculture had average yields as high or higher than conventional farm settings – only sugarbeet did better in the field. Some of the bumper yields come from growing in controlled indoor environments – but crops like cauliflowers, brassicas, beetroots and rhubarb did as well or better in the urban soils.
And what was the most studied urban grown fruit and vegetable? The humble lettuce. Hope you enjoy this recipe from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall published by The Guardian – perfect if you have a garden lettuce glut from those too often unsung city soils.
Recipe: Lettuce and spring onion tart (V)
1 tbsp rapeseed or olive oil
4 little gem hearts, trimmed and quartered
2 bunches spring onions
100g lancashire (or a medium cheddar or hard goat’s cheese)
2 eggs plus 1 egg yolk
200ml double cream
200ml whole milk
For the pastry:
250g plain flour
A pinch of salt
125g cold, unsalted butter, cut into cubes
About 75ml cold milk
Start with the pastry. Sift the flour and salt together, or give them a quick blitz in a food processor. Rub in the butter with your fingertips – or blitz again – until the mix resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the cold milk, little by little, until the pastry just comes together, then turn out on to a work surface and knead briefly to bring it into a ball. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
Heat the oven to 180C/350F/gas mark 4. Roll out the pastry quite thinly and use it to line a 25cm tart tin, leaving the rough edges hanging over the sides. Line with foil and baking beans, and bake blind for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and beans, prick the pastry with a fork in a few places, and bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes more, until just starting to colour. Trim away the excess pastry around the edge.
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the little gem quarters, season and cook for about five minutes, turning them once or twice, until they’re golden brown on the cut surfaces. Add the butter, letting it melt in the pan, then spoon it over the lettuces. Arrange the lettuce hearts in the pastry case.
Reduce the heat under the pan a little. Trim and roughly chop the spring onions, then sauté gently for five minutes. Add to the tart, then crumble over the cheese.
Combine the eggs, egg yolk, cream and milk, season well, then pour over the tart filling. Bake for about 35 minutes until golden on top. Serve warm or cold.
To celebrate World Soil Day on the 5th of December we have written a series of blogs that dig in (pun intended) to the many connections between soils and food. These blogs are inspired by our sustainable soils research at Lancaster and include a recipe that connects our soil research to the dinner plate! We are publishing a blog a day between 21st November and the 5th of December. We hope you enjoy digging into both our research stories and recommended recipes. Enjoy – bon appetit!

The Spirit of a Winner: Guided Journal, by Marilyn D. Fitzgerald (M.D.F. Communications Inc., Matteson, Illinois, 2007, 201 pages.)
Book Review by Dennis Moore
“The life which is not examined is not worth living.” – Plato
November 24, 2019 (San Diego) - Having known Marilyn D. Fitzgerald, the author of this insightful book and spiritual guide, I feel honored to write the review of this book. Knowing her and spending time with her over the many years actually gives me the requisite vision and insight to share with others.
The Spirit of a Winner, written by this talented author and visionary, is actually a life-changing tool. It is a guided journal that will help give structure and meaning to your life, something that I for one sorely need. Fitzgerald states that this guided journal will assist you in tracking the important information you need to create an extraordinary life and body. She indicates that millions of people have formed the habit of journaling and enjoy the benefits of it, including Oprah Winfrey.
A particular passage in this book/journal resonates with me; “It is God’s will that we live healthy, happy, and prosperous lives. If your life does not reflect these experiences, then you need to find out what is going on inside your mind. Using this guided journal will help you gain insight to the causes of the effects that you are experiencing.”
Fitzgerald, a seasoned tri-athlete, competing in sports for over two decades, combines the discipline of this Spirit of a Winner: Guide Journal, for a healthy and wholesome body and mind, to go along with a sound spirit. Now the author wants to share these principles with the readers of this book.
The author, pictured here with the daughter of the late heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali, specifically states in this well written book (Journal): “The journal is designed to help you become aware of the Spirit-Mind-Body connection. It is my hope that once you make this connection, you will create a wellness lifestyle. In order to make the connection, you have to track many aspects of your life that influence the connection. The first step in your journey toward developing a winning Spirit is knowing what defines the Spirit of a Winner. See the poem on the preceding page. Read it daily in the morning when you wake up and before bedtime – and whenever you feel like giving up on your journey to creating your desires and positive experiences. The second step is goal-setting. The word ‘goal’ is often-mentioned; however, less than eight percent of people set them. There are many reasons why. One reason is they are not clear on the purpose and how to set them. ‘Goal’ is defined as an aim, something that somebody wants to achieve.”
This journal by Fitzgerald is designed by her to be a 31-day tool to document on a daily basis your experiences and perceptions, such as; “What Have I Done Today To Make Someone Feel Proud?” and “Release……Things I Need To Release and Let Go!” This book teaches discipline and reflection, attributes that I and all readers of this book/journal can benefit from. See audio presentation here.

Theartevangelist.com - Lil Yachty Art. Typically time's common every day goods are ignored within our quest for unique art decor which shows our personal perception of attractiveness and kind. Perhaps in a few much distant era of your time our common products and solutions, which we acquire without any consideration, may possibly perplex some foreseeable future civilization as they attempt to tell apart what the merchandise objective and reason for becoming was. For this quest I have tried to acquire my everyday handbook can opener and disclose to the reader the real magnificence connected using this type of functional utensil.
The Renaissance age teaches us of the way art received great sponsorship, recognition, and patronage. This was chiefly influenced by the Medici family's involvement and also the efforts of the fantastic scholars who always liaised with the ruling class. It is interesting to know how a ruling class also massively supported the research of art and also the discovery of gifts. Powerful lessons might be gleaned from the whole-hearted support into the evolution of art from the Renaissance era- that the art lighting and restricted period. This is often connected to Lil Yachty Art.
Linked to Lil Yachty Art, Fantastically made objects may help change our inside surroundings into a location for residing and entertaining that expresses our individual flavor and sorts our own distinct haven to share with spouse and children and pals. Steel wall artwork has been cleverly utilized to convey art from different artwork durations and art movements inside a way that's both equally attractive and appeals to the mood of popular tradition in just present-day fashionable environments.See Also: The Art Of Guardians Of The Galaxy
Up to date artwork paintings protect broadly the many years of publish Environment War II as many as the present day. The kinds of portray in contemporary actions change greatly from 1 to another. This post covers the foremost actions of up to date artwork, and tries to elucidate how they link with one another.
Some of these earliest of all known art (pre-historic cave and rock art) features wildlife. But, it might be more correctly regarded as art about food, as opposed to art about wildlife since a result. Subsequently for a lot of the remainder of the annals of art in the western world, art depicting wildlife has been mostly absent, due to the simple fact that art in that time was mostly dominated by narrow viewpoints on reality, such as religions. More recently, wild life art has become a favorite and essential art subject.

We posted this video awhile back on our Circle Connections blog,
… however I took the time to watched it again this morning after receiving a link to it in an email from a dear friend.
Perhaps it should become a morning meditation for all women until we are fully awake without dozing or pulling the covers over our heads, or because we make ourselves too busy to allow ourselves to feel it and make it worth our time to know what we know.
There is a groundswell of awakening, and it’s nurturing is up to us. As we connect with our ‘girl cell’ we cannot comfortably go back to sleep. As we dare to step back into our core strength each of us will know how, and that we must actualize our calling.
Emotions are messy. We are often grumpy when first awakened. Having been denied or made wrong to have emotions or be intuitive, often our emotions burst forth in a violent manner. After all, we contain a cellular memory of being burned at the stake for being healers and wise women.
However we must realize that victims become perpetrators. We are now called to let our awakening to be messy and then move beyond that awkwardness to transform our emotion and anger to intuition and grace. We are called to move from being egocentric and pricklly to insightful and courageous. We are called now to hone our capacity to direct our words and emotions in a skilled and potent way to be the change we are called to be. There is great power and reassurance that comes from holding hands at the well, walking this path in the good company of other conscious women and those who love us.
The internet has become a place like the well where women connect to share our experiences. Women are reclaiming the internet as a feminine model and as their place of gathering to share our wisdom stories. As at the well,the internet has become a sharing place for us to do our grassroots work and the means for spreading the word.
Today at the ‘well’ that lives in my inbox, this message was passed along to be by a dear friend as it was shared with her by a dear friend of hers… and this is how women do it…
“While I was in Kenya I spent the morning with Agnes Pareiyo (mentioned in Eve’s T.E.D. talk) and the girls at her house. In this very powerful video Eve Ensler talks about “the girl cell”, and also about the work of Agnes.
I think it is a presentation that no one – male or female – should miss hearing. I have attached a picture of a few of the girls I spent time with, and 2 of their caregivers, and the building which Eve funded there.”
We are emotional creatures, powerful beyond all measure, blessed with a ‘girl cell’ that aches to be set free. May we all go there, to that core that lives in each of us. May it no longer be silenced, by others or by our own doing.

Former One Life to Live star Kassie DePaiva is bringing Blair Cramer back to Port Charles! The actress recently announced her pending return to General Hospital on her official website.
“I received a call from GH’s executive producer Frank Valentini. My friend…And he said there is something coming up on the canvas for Blair,” the actress wrote in her blog. “I guess it must be true because Carolyn Hinsey tweeted that I would be coming back for a ‘nice stint’. I’m not sure what that means exactly… But maybe that’s a good sign. I’m always excited to put Blair’s hat back on and to walk in her shoes. GH is looking good these days.”
After OLTL ended its 44 year run on Jan. 12, 2012, DePaiva’s character crossed over to GH in March for a major storyline involving Blair’s daughter Starr (Kristen Alderson). She returned again in May and July.
No news on a first airdate or what her story will be, but with Todd’s (Roger Howarth) role in the baby switch being exposed, one can only assume Blair will return to blast her ex for his actions.
My POV: Can GH just put Kassie DePaiva on contract already? All of this coming and going is so unfair. I understand there may be some hesitation to bring Blair on permanently considering the backlash GH received from fans about the OLTL “invasion,” but there is just SO MUCH STORY with her character. I hope they’re able to work something out to bring her on full time. An actress of DePaiva’s caliber should be used.
