I’m finally up to date on book reviews! As you’ll see April was my best month yet for reading this year.
Golden Child by Claire Adam
This book in two sentences: Paul and Petter are thirteen year old twins living in rural Trinidad in the same house, but with very different attitudes: Peter is smart and Paul has always been thought of as a bit of an idiot. One day Paul goes missing on a walk, and when his dad goes looking for him, he’s forced to make an impossible decision.
What I liked and what frustrated me: I liked the descriptions of Trinidad and how literary the writing was. It was easy to picture the settings: the small house, falling into disrepair, the Catholic school, the bus that the boys ride between the two. There was a choice made in this book that bothered me a lot and altered the trajectory of how i felt about the rest of it going forward, so that frustrated me greatly. As someone pointed out in my instagram post about the book though, the choice was really true to the character and the cultural context.
Recommended for: people who like books set in new places + books about the bonds of family.
Love at First Like by Hannah Orenstein
This book in two sentences: Eliza co-owns a jewelry shop in Brooklyn with her sister Sophie, and when she’s bored she likes to try on the rings in the shop. One day she accidentally leads the shop’s Instagram followers to believe that she’s engaged, and instead of owning up to the mistake, she decides to take the free publicity and run – all the way to the altar.
What I liked and what frustrated me: I liked that this was a fun, engrossing summer read. I read it all in one sitting over two cups of coffee. It’s a better novel than Orenstein’s first novel, Playing With Matches, but it’s also much more unbelievable. It frustrated me that Eliza’s family was so willing to buy the fact that she had everything under control and that they bought her ridiculous ideas over and over again. I also didn’t like the way Eliza treated a lot of people, though I’m learning to see this as less of a flaw of characters and more a reflection of real life.
Recommended for: Anyone looking for a great beach read! The book releases in August. Thanks to Atria Books for sending this free ARC for review.
Beyond the Point by Claire Gibson
This book in two sentences: Three young women enter West Point in the summer of 2000 expecting to get an education, a military commission, and to play for the school’s basketball team. They get all that, but they also end up dealing with the effects of 9/11 on the country, which changes the trajectory of their lives entirely.
What I liked and what frustrated me: I liked basically everything about this book! I loved learning more about West Point and found myself on a Wikipedia rabbit hole to learn more about places and things mentioned in the book. I think my only frustration would be that I found myself wishing to know more about the school experience of West Point, but the book is called Beyond the Point so it makes perfect sense that it has to move on.
Recommended for: Anyone who loves books about close friendships and learning about places so different from your own experiences.
All That You Leave Behind by Erin Lee Carr
This book in two sentences: Erin Lee Carr’s father, the acclaimed journalist David Carr, died unexpectedly when she was on the cusp of adulthood. This book is her memoir of their lives together, frequently told through text messages and emails, and of Erin’s growth after his death.
What I liked and what frustrated me: I loved the way texts and emails were used in this book. It actually inspired me to write an email to my dad. Some of the choices Erin made frustrated me, but I thought about it for a bit and realized that she showed a lot of bravery and grace to herself in writing about these choices. We need more honest memoirs in the world, and this is absolutely one.
Recommended for: readers who like memoirs told with the aid of emails and text messages, and those who like father/daughter stories.
My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult
This book in two sentences: Anna was born to save her sick sister’s life. But she’s a teenager now, and she doesn’t want to do it anymore, even if it means fighting against her parents to get what she wants – and even if it means her sister dies.
What I liked and what frustrated me: I’ve read this book a number of times so it’s not new to me, and I can’t find anything truly frustrating about it. I like it because it still tugs at my heartstrings and makes me cry. The whole idea of this book felt so revolutionary to me the first time I read it: it involves a court of law, it has sisters, and it wrestles with impossible questions. I guess one thing that does frustrate me is that the movie is really bad and did the book a huge disservice.
Recommended for: Fans of Jodi’s earlier novels or books that make you cry.
Normal People by Sally Rooney
This book in two sentences: Marianne and Connell are two kids from Ireland who have a strong connection but can’t be together because they come from two different worlds. When they go off to university, their situations flip, and they find themselves drawn to each other again, no matter how unhealthy it may be.
What I liked and what frustrated me: I liked how honest to the millennial experience this felt. This is definitely more of a character driven book than a plot driven book, and more and more I’m learning I’m more interested in plot. So that frustrated me a bit, because it’s easy to feel like nothing happens.
Recommended for: readers who love character-driven novels about being in college.
Roar by Cecelia Ahern
This book in two sentences: This is a book of fantastical short stories that are intended to inspire women. They’re told with magical realism and all take on the elements of parables.
What I liked and what frustrated me: I loved the concept and I do love the idea of short stories because they’re easy to read. But this didn’t really work for me. The stories all feel super goofy and too on the nose. One woman keeps finding bites everywhere and realizes she gets one every time she apologizes. Another woman has been quite literally put on a shelf and ignored, until she decides to get down from the shelf. I just didn’t love it.
Recommended for: People who love magical realism and short stories.

Instructions to Make Shower Curtains and Decorate your bathroom from monogram shower curtains, source:bathroomdid.com

15 Idea of the Fresh Idea to Monogram Shower Curtains Design

domain: design


Almost immediately following the establishment of a Town Centre working group at Fylde Council the country went into lockdown because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
As a result, the focus of the group moved to providing safe spaces as shops began to re-opened, quickly turning their attention to tackling economic recovery in our town centres.
In June, the Working Group launched a town centre survey for residents to give their views on what they wanted to see in their local high street. Within a few weeks over 1,500 replies were submitted which were full of ideas such as pedestrianisation, outside eating, provision for cyclists, and entertainment spaces to name a few.
Following this in July, pavement licences became available to cafes, bars and restaurants to allow them to accommodate tables on the pavement where it is safe to do so. A number of local businesses in Lytham and St Annes have been successful with their applications.
With the help of funding from Heritage Action Zone, in August a fantastic scheme was developed for Kirkham Town Centre to include a new Heritage Skills Centre, outdoor work and social spaces, a restored market square, shopfront restoration and arts facilities. A multi-million-pound bid was submitted to the government’s Future High Street Fund on 14th August; a video explaining the scheme can be viewed on Fylde Council’s Facebook page.
This week a report to the Planning Committee recommends a consideration of the expansion of the present regeneration scheme in Lytham, and the commissioning of a brand new vision for St Annes Town Centre which will build upon the ideas from the residents’ survey and working group’s proposals.
Leader of Fylde Council, Cllr Karen Buckley, said: “We are boosting our Economic Development team in recognition of the importance of economic recovery following the outbreak of Coronavirus. Our town centres are valued by residents and visitors alike, as was shown by the swift response to the survey, and their success is vital to the livelihoods of local people. We are hoping to appoint a Town Centre Manager to be a support for our businesses, build relationships with investors and advise on strategic regeneration projects. We have so much to offer here in Fylde and the work we are embarking upon now will ensure we can attract the investment needed to retain our distinctive charm.”
Councillor Richard Redcliffe, Chair of the Town Centre Working Group added: “This is a hugely significant opportunity to progress the regeneration of our three Fylde town centres St Anne’s, Lytham and Kirkham. The planned ambitious measures will ensure that the individual needs and challenges of those centres are addressed, and an exciting prosperous future is secured. This is something that we know is very close to the hearts of our Fylde residents.”

Two well-known French retailer uses the blockchain technology to track and enhance transparency of its supply chains.
After testing the technology in Vietnam with the support of the German startup Te-Food, Auchan introduced her to French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese markets. Using this technology, all participants in the supply chain will be able to record information about products at every stage of its existence into a single, distributed and open database. Consumers, in turn, will be able to scan QR codes, which are installed on all products in the "Auchan", and get a full idea of their origin.
The interface is made in the form of B2B applications, through which operations are performed in the supply chain. The B2C application is designed as for the use of consumers and for stock management and the provision of certificates for products authorities.
At the moment, "Auchan" uses the technology of the blockchain only in France to track the supply chain of organic carrots, but in December and February the company will begin to track the supply of potatoes and chicken respectively. In Italy, the technology will be used to track tomatoes and chicken, and in Spain ― for pork and exotic fruits.
For the "Auchan" was followed by another French retailer ― Carrefour, which began using the blockchain platform called IBM Food Trust. With its help, the manufacturers and suppliers will be able to share information about the origin of products and supply chains into a single network and also to authenticate digital certificates. By 2022 Carrefour plans to expand this technology to cover all own brands.
Cooperation Carrefour and IBM due to the activities of the American retail giant Walmart, which since 2017 is working with IBM on the implementation of the blockchain technology. This fall, Walmart announced that all suppliers of leafy greens will have to load the data on the supply in the blockchain, starting in September 2019. The main goal of the initiative is to precaution the spread of the infected greens, which provoking acute intestinal infection. Thanks to blockchain technology the company will be able to track the origin of any greenery and return it to suppliers for 2.2 seconds, and not more for six days as before.

Model for determining and optimizing delivery performance in industrial systems
Transilvania University of Braşov, Department of Manufacturing Engineering, Mihai Viteazu No.5, Braşov, Romania
* Corresponding author: firstname.lastname@example.org
Performance means achieving organizational objectives regardless of their nature and variety, and even overcoming them. Improving performance is one of the major goals of any company. Achieving the global performance means not only obtaining the economic performance, it is a must to take into account other functions like: function of quality, delivery, costs and even the employees satisfaction. This paper aims to improve the delivery performance of an industrial system due to their very low results. The delivery performance took into account all categories of performance indicators, such as on time delivery, backlog efficiency or transport efficiency. The research was focused on optimizing the delivery performance of the industrial system, using linear programming. Modeling the delivery function using linear programming led to obtaining precise quantities to be produced and delivered each month by the industrial system in order to minimize their transport cost, satisfying their customers orders and to control their stock. The optimization led to a substantial improvement in all four performance indicators that concern deliveries.

Despite roadblocks, "the Squad” has pushed progressive legislation, scrutinized the powerful, and changed the conversation around who gets to hold political power.
“Enough negotiating with Republicans pushing environmental injustice. We should be the ones the Biden administration prioritizes at the table.”
"No reconciliation bill, no deal. We need transformative change NOW."
“79% of West Virginia voters support the For the People Act,” said Common Cause. “Why doesn’t Sen. Joe Manchin?”
“The president can’t expect us to vote for an infrastructure deal dictated by the Republican Party,” said Rep. Jamaal Bowman.
To effectively confront the enormous problems facing our country and world, progressives need to soberly assess everything—good, bad and mixed.
The $15 minimum wage is overwhelmingly popular with the American people. One person should not be allowed to hold relief hostage.
Whatever the Georgia results, progressives still need more non-stop, grassroots consciousness-raising and many more elected lawmakers everywhere.

I currently want to use a RF transmitter/receiver along with a servo motor. With my board 1, I am receiving data as well as controlling a servo motor. For this I am currently trying to use the built in servo library servo.h as well as the library virtual wire. When I try to include both of these libraries, I get an error:
Arduino: 1.8.3 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"
libraries\VirtualWire\VirtualWire.cpp.o (symbol from plugin): In function `crc16_update(unsigned int, unsigned char)':
(.text+0x0): multiple definition of `__vector_11'
libraries\Servo\avr\Servo.cpp.o (symbol from plugin):(.text+0x0): first defined here
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
exit status 1
Error compiling for board Arduino/Genuino Uno.
After looking around a bit, I believe the problem is that both libraries use timer1. I searched around for servo libraries that use a different timer, but am having trouble implementing them. Does anyone know of other servo/RF libraries I can use that do not make use of the same timer? Or is there any way to fix this?
Any help is very appreciated

2face, as an artiste, has gotten expensive gifts such as SUVs, houses, jewelries in the past, but a song dedicated to him by a fan, Miebaka Asabuja Ogar aka Mi2 is surely one he would appreciate for a long time.

COVID-19: The Latest on England’s Travel Corridors for October 2020
In recent months, we have provided a number of updates on the air travel corridors between the UK and other countries around the world. These air corridors were implemented to allow travel to and from countries with lower levels of COVID-19 cases. Each week countries were added or removed, causing widespread consternation to many travellers who were due to travel, or already had. In some cases, visitors to other countries found themselves in a mad scramble to return to the UK before the deadlines imposed by the British Home Office. Indeed, holiday makers desperate to avoid an imposed lock-down on their return were often paying vastly inflated sums of money to get back to the UK by any means; by land, air, or sea.
With the onset of the second wave of COVID-19 cases in many countries, we will review how the UK Home Office’s guidance on travel corridors has evolved, and list which countries we can currently travel to.
Which Countries Have Been Removed from England’s Travel Corridor List in the Last Month?
Due to spiking levels of COVID-19 infection rates in Europe, it is not surprising to see that many of the countries which have been removed from the travel corridor list are European. There are also several small islands in the Caribbean included on the list. In the past few weeks, the following countries have been removed:
- On 18th October 2020:
- San Marino
- Vatican City State
- On 3rd October 2020:
- Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba (Dutch islands in the Caribbean)
- Poland and Turkey
- On 26th September 2020:
- On 19th September 2020:
- On 12th September 2020:
- French Polynesia
Which Countries Have Been Added to England’s Travel Corridor List in the Last m
It is clear to see that since 12th September 2020, far more countries have been removed from the English air corridor list than have been added. It is also interesting to note that some of those are European, most notably Sweden. Given that Sweden has famously trodden its own path of fewer, not more, restrictions, it is remarkable to see their addition to the air travel corridor list. As of 19th October, Sweden saw 676 new cases (compared with over 20,000 on 20th October in the UK), and zero COVID-19 related deaths. Indeed, since 16th October there have been no reported COVID deaths in Sweden.
The full list of countries which are now included in England’s travel corridor list as of 21st October 2020 are as follows:
- Akrotiri and Dhekelia
- Antigua and Barbuda
- the Azores
- British Antarctic Territory
- British Indian Ocean Territory
- British Virgin Islands
- Cayman Islands
- the Channel Islands
- Falkland Islands
- Faroe Islands
- Greece (except Mykonos)
- Hong Kong
- the Isle of Man
- Macao (Macau)
- New Caledonia
- New Zealand
- Pitcairn, Henderson, Ducie and Oeno Islands
- South Korea
- South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands
- St Barthélemy
- St Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha
- St Kitts and Nevis
- St Lucia
- St Pierre and Miquelon
- St Vincent and the Grenadines
What do the Travel Corridor Rules Mean in Practice?
Given the number of rules now in place, including the new COVID Alert Levels system introduced recently by Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, it is understandable that many travellers or prospective travellers are unsure of what they mean. The key points to be aware of are as follows:
- You will not need to self-isolate for 14 days if you are returning from a country on the travel corridor list.
- If you arrive from a country which has been removed from the exemption list, you will need to self-isolate on your return for 14 days (assuming you arrive after the deadline).
- If you spend time at the end of your trip in a country which is on the corridor list, the time spent in this country can be removed from the 14 days you need to be in isolation
- If you are not required to self-isolate on your return from another country, you will need to adhere to the local lockdown restrictions in your area
- If your journey involves transit stops in a country, not on the travel corridor list, you will not need to self-isolate on your return if no new passengers get on, no-one on-board gets off and mixes with people outside, or passengers get off but do not get back on. If new passengers get on, or you or other passengers get off the transport you are on and mix with other people, then get on again, then you must self-isolate for 14 days on your return.
- If you are travelling in a private vehicle through a country, not on the list, you will not need to self-isolate if no new people in that country get into your vehicle, or if no one in the vehicle gets out, mixes with others, and gets back in.
- All travellers returning to the UK are required to complete a passenger locator form (this can be done up to 2 days before arrival in the UK).
Many European countries have now been removed from the travel corridor list issued by the Home Office; notably Spain, France, the Netherlands, and Belgium. It is still possible to travel to some countries in Europe such as Germany, Ireland, Norway, Latvia, Lithuania and Sweden. If you would like to go skiing in the upcoming Winter season, your options are much more limited, unless you are happy to self-isolate on your return. If you are not, you could consider resorts in Germany such as Garmish-Partenkirchen, Teinplatte/Winklmoosalm and Reit im Winkl in Bavaria. Other options will be available in Sweden and eastern European countries such as Lithuania and Latvia. And let us not forget, Scotland.

A banda promete recompensar o público de Lisboa em breve.

WOM - Hello Micha. Let me start to say that Bitterfeldt's debut is intringuing, you don't seem to fit it in any genre specifically (although having elements of various one) . That was your main intention for Bitterfeldt?
Micha - Bom Dia Fernando! Actually I am interested in a wide variety of musical styles and genres. I listen to classical music as well as to avantgarde pop and independent stuff - and also to electronic music. But of course my favourite music was, is (and probably will ever be) "dark“ music, especially dark extreme metal! I also discovered Gothic Music in the 90´s, but my roots have always metal-ish. The first band I adored (and still do, especially the old stuff) was Iron Maiden as I bought the Powerslave album. I soon switched to more extreme metal bands such as Slayer (still rule!), Kreator, Exodus, Celtic Frost, Death, Morbid Angel, Pestilence, etc. And I always liked the slow real heavy stuff, e.g. Asphyx, Triptykon or Neurosis. So with bitterfeldt it is like a return to my roots. But you might find some of my other influences in the songs, too. That´s maybe the the cause why Bitterfeldt sounds so unique.
WOM - How do you see "Götzen.Dämmerung", now that it's released? Turned out the way you hoped?
Micha - Considered from an overall perspective I would say "yes!“. Of course there is always potential for evolution, for improvement – so in the next album we will try to do some parts even more intense and powerful, maybe add a few more guitars. But I am happy with the album. It sounds good, the artwork is brilliant, and we managed to create an entity (as you wrote above) of music, lyrics, art, photos and the videoclip.
WOM - How the reactions to the album have been so far?
Micha - Bitterfeldt is definetely no easy-listening- stuff. You have to take your time and open yourself to the concept and the melancholic intense mood. So we expected that a lot of people will have difficulties to take part in our dark journey - and that they might not like it. But actually most of the reactions have been pretty good so far. Of course our former activities in other bands have helped us, i.e. we are no newcomers but old men being active in the metal scene for ages... But we really appreciate the positive resonance of the press and the fans with their interest in the band. Bitterfeldt is about being authentic, not about selling millions of records. We want to express our creativity - without any restrictions or the usual business thoughts and rules in mind. If people keep on enjoing our music, Bitterfeldt will prevail.
WOM - It's entirely sang in german. Do you see in the future singing in english?
Micha - You are right: lyrics are in German. I have done 6 albums with EverEve with almost 100 percent English lyrics so it was time to try something new. But you will find some translations on our website and also in the album booklet So everyone will be able to understand the lyrics. Maybe in the future we will do some songs in other languages, too – but at the moment it feels good to write and sing in my native language.
WOM - Do you plan to tour outside Germany?
Micha - Bitterfeldt is something special – and so are our live gigs: they only take place on special occasions at special locations. In may we will headline a small but nice festival in Germany to present the whole album in a very special way. But having toured throughout the years with EverEve I enjoyed playing in different countries, meeting nice people, discovering other cultures and visiting places I have never been to before. So if we get the right offers, it would be a pleasure and honour to come to your country, too...
WOM - One band that came to mind while listening "Götzen.Dämmerung", were Crematory. Not quite literal with what they're been doing lately but with some of the atmopsheres of the old days. They were a band that evolved during their carreer. That must be a hard question to answer but I'm curious... do you see yourselves changing a lot in the future? Nobody knows what tomorrow will bring but have you any idea of what kind of music you want to explore?
Micha - (Laughter) This is really a hard question to answer. First of all it is funny that you mentioned Crematory. Because we seem to have quite a history with this guys. Of course if you are around in the scene for many years you meet a lot of people and other bands. With some of them you stay in touch, especially when you appreciate what the other guys are doing and if there is some kind of mutual interest or sympathy. Some of these guys turned out to be kind of "longterm-companions“ (e.g. the guys from Lacrimosa, Destruction, VNV Nation etc. etc.). And with Crematory this happened to be as well. First of all we toured a lot with Crematory – and for some years we even had the same management. So maybe these are the reasons why our paths crossed quite often. And - as you might know – Matze, Crematory´s former guitar player plays now in Bitterfeldt... But now let´s turn to your question: I think there might be some minor developments and changes in the future. People develop and so do bands. But I am pretty sure that these changes will not be too big concerning the Bitterfeldt style. We will try to do the next album even more intense, heavier and darker. And as I told you I am thinking about including some more guitars. But we will definetely not change our style too much. It will always be slow, deep and hard music!
After the lyric video for "Bloodlines", melodic death metallers Across The Burning Sky, who have committed themselves to the Gothenburg style, are releasing a brand new lyric video for the track "Sacrifice", a song taken off the band's current album "The End Is Near". The video, which was premiered in cooperation with Metal Hammer Italia, is a combination of lyric video and religious motifs and rituals, which, in the context of the lyrics as criticism of religion denies the existence of a god and accuses his worship practices.
"Sacrifice" is once again a fast and ferocious ode to the early melodic death metal of the nineties and will also be on the forthcoming fourth part of the "Hymns Of The Underground" compilation series.

Pryapisme is a name that all that like experimental music should get to know. Specially because they have a modus operandi that isn't what you would expect. And they also mix a load of different genres and serve them on a single plate. We had to know if they were from outter space or just the regular next door neighbour - or if they are our regular next door neighbour that actually is from outer space and like to get high. For our surprise they were pretty chilled and cool guys. Here's what they had to say.
WOM - Your sound is quite allucinated. I bet that comes as a compliment, right?
Pryapisme - Yes, indeed, we are happy when our music provokes big reactions for our audience. We don't do drugs but the music is meant to be like a trip for the listener. If people find it allucinated, colorful, cinematographic or whatever, that's ok for us.
WOM - What is the purpose of Pryapisme as an musical entity? To experiment or simply to be defying?
Pryapisme - There's no particular purpose in the band. Just making the music we all like. We don't try to be defying but of course we experiment to crush new musical boundaries. We all listen to almost every possible music styles, we are fed with it and it's natural for us to use all those sounds and influences within our own music. We don't consider that we are big experimenters, we are just open-minded with our musical tastes, and we don't want to reduce the band in a traditionnal project with a single aesthetic.
WOM - How do you see yourselves in the future? Where do Pryapisme will travel? To a more electronic sound or a an organic one?
Pryapisme - I can't tell you for sure now what it will be like. Of course we want to play live the more possible and defend our new album on stage. The next opus of Pryapisme will be for sure a music for a videogame that we will annonce soon. We also have some ideas for concept EPs but we will take our time. For now, we focus on live gigs.
WOM - What kind of influences do you have to make such a experimental work?
Pryapisme - The main influences come from the bands "Mr Bungle", "Estradasphere" and "John Zorn" that we all listen when we were younger and still these days. We also take ideas and influences from videogames, movies and books. And of course from almost all musical styles : classical, metal, rock, electronic, oriental, latin, African... Our music is also fed with philosophy, psychology, Internet and animals (specially cats). It's really a big patchwork.
WOM - How have been the reacions to "Diabolicus Felinae Pandemonium" so far?
Pryapisme - For now, the reactions have been really nice. A few people don't like our extreme way of composing and structuring our tracks but that's (been) the case from the beginning. Some people prefer our old album and some think that this one is our best. It's normal that our music divide people but most of the feedbacks we have for now are really great.
WOM - Do plan to play live or is this a type of sound that it's best suited to listen in the record?
Pryapisme - We definitly plan to play live, the most possible. We just made our first show with some of the new track from the new album and we are very happy to play thoses new songs. Like always, our live tracks are very different from the studio ones. It's a choice that we always have. Seeing the band live is really another experience. We try to propose alternative versions, with different sounds and structures, in a more catchy way. The album is more visually-orientated, the live shows will be more rock'n'roll (traduction : with more false notes but with sweat and drool).
Northwest extreme death metal horde Dead Conspiracy have released a music video for "In the Wake of the Butcher", a track from the band's 2016 self-titled album.
The band credited with being Portland's first-ever death metal act released its long-anticipated first full-length LP of new material in November. Dead Conspiracy is available on CD, vinyl and digital formats through Necromantic Press Records. Exile Music will release the album on cassette. CDs featuring the 1987 demo and a cover track recorded for Tribute To Headhunter Death Cult are offered in Brazil by Funeral Rites Records.

Prediction of Botanical Composition Using NIRS Calibrations Developed from Botanically Pure Samples
- S. W. Coleman ,
- S. Christiansen and
- J. S. Shenk
Point quadrat, hand separation, and histological methods for determining botanical composition are tedious, time consuming, and expensive. Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) was used as a rapid method to predict botanical composition of grass-legume mixtures clipped from field plots. Our objective was to determine if a group of samples, each consisting of one of three botanical components, could be used for calibration in lieu of samples containing mixtures of the components. Calibration equations were developed for NIRS prediction of a number of legumes, Caucasian bluestem [(Bothriochloa caucasica (Trin.) C.E. Hubb.], and cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.). Hand separations of clipped mixtures were used to validate the calibration equations. All forage samples were grown in silty soils of the Dale series. Some evidence existed for an interaction between light scatter and mixing of two pure species, but it was eliminated effectively by second derivative transformation of the spectra. Biases existed for all components (36-61 g/kg) but were smaller than standard errors of performance (52-104 g/kg), except for legumes. Linearity was excellent for prediction for percentage legume, and validation was more precise for legume than for Caucasian bluestem or cheatgrass. This method of calibration for a closed population is recommended. Care must be taken to validate equations using mixed samples to insure linearity of unknowns between the extremes. Further, unknowns should be scanned along with calibration samples so that the same day to day instrument variation is associated with both sample sets.

Snoop Dogg Busted In Norway With Marijuana
I have so many questions, just by the title alone. Why is Snoop Dogg in Norway in the first place? And how is he still getting busted with weed? Any why is he even taking it out of the U.S., especially since a lot of other countries aren’t very lenient on it? Who knows, but according to MSN Snoop was busted at the airport with weed and a large amount of cash.
Apparently, Snoop was on his way to Kristiansand for a music festival when he was stopped at the airport. Seems as though a sniffer-dog found the small amount of weed on him. According to Norwegian law, they cannot name the suspect specifically but an “American artist” on his way to a music festival that was busted with weed kind of narrows the playing field. I think he got off pretty easy though…
Snoop was only fined about $8600 for his troubles. Pretty lenient, considering his past with drugs.

GROUP HOLDS RALLY ON POLLS TODAY
TO forestall possible outbreak of violence during the ongoing general elections, the Democratic Alliance for Youth (DAY) will today stage a rally to sensitise Nigerians against electoral misconduct.
Speaking yesterday to journalists in Lagos, the National President of DAY, Tunji Adesanya, said the rally is designed to educate Nigerians, most especially the youth, on the need to avoid problems during electoral process.
'The rally is necessary because over the years, youths have been targeted by do or die politicians to cause violence during elections,' he said.
He implored well-meaning Nigerians to come out en-masse and participate in the rally billed to start at 10am from the National Stadium, Surulere to Yaba.
Distinguished personalities expected to grace the rally include the presidential candidate of the All Nigeria People's Party (ANPP), Mallam Ibrahim Shakarau, Prof. Pat Utomi and Femi Falana.

Virtual memory allows the system to use hard disk space to store information normally stored in RAM. Windows 7 and Windows Vista manage virtual memory by using a paging file. You specify the minimum and maximum size of this file. … However, some applications may require a non-default size for the paging file.
What is the best paging file size for Windows 7?
Ideally, your paging file size should be 1.5 times your physical memory at a minimum and up to 4 times the physical memory at most to ensure system stability.
Is disabling paging file bad?
If programs start to use up all your available memory, they’ll start crashing instead of being swapped out of the RAM into your page file. … In summary, there’s no good reason to disable the page file — you’ll get some hard drive space back, but the potential system instability won’t be worth it.
What is a good virtual memory size for Windows 7?
Microsoft recommends that you set virtual memory to be no less than 1.5 times and no more than 3 times the amount of RAM on your computer. For power PC owners (like most UE/UC users), you likely have at least 2GB of RAM so your virtual memory can be set up to 6,144 MB (6 GB).
What does file paging do?
The Pagefile allows the computer to perform smoothly by reducing the workload of the physical memory, or RAM. Simply put, every time you open more applications than the RAM on your PC can accommodate, the programs already present in the RAM are automatically transferred to the Pagefile.
Do you need a pagefile with 16GB of RAM?
1) You don’t “need” it. By default Windows will allocate virtual memory (pagefile) the same size as your RAM. It will “reserve” this disk space to ensure it’s there if required. That’s why you see a 16GB page file.
Does paging file speed up computer?
So the answer is, increasing page file does not make the computer run faster. it’s more imperative to upgrade your RAM! If you add more RAM to your computer, it will ease up on the demand programs are putting on the system. … In other words, you should have at most twice as much page file memory as RAM.
Is paging file safe?
No, the page file is what helps keep your computer stable. Although you may think there is enough memory in your computer to handle all the programs it runs, you can still exceed that limit, which may cause program errors and even system crashes.
Can you disable paging file?
From the Advanced tab, click Settings under the Performance heading. From the Advanced tab click Change under the Virtual memory heading. Uncheck the “Automatically manage paging file size for all drives” box. With the drive to disable virtual memory selected in the box, select No paging file.
Can I turn off paging file?
Disable The Paging File
Select Advanced system settings. Select the Advanced tab and then the Performance radio button. Select the Change box under Virtual memory. Un-check Automatically manage paging file size for all drives.
How big should my pagefile be 8gb RAM?
On most Windows 10 systems with 8 GB of RAM or more, the OS manages the size of the paging file nicely. The paging file is typically 1.25 GB on 8 GB systems, 2.5 GB on 16 GB systems and 5 GB on 32 GB systems. For systems with more RAM, you can make the paging file somewhat smaller.
Do you need a pagefile with 32GB of RAM?
Since you have 32GB of RAM you will rarely if ever need to use the page file – the page file in modern systems with lots of RAM is not really required . .
How much virtual memory should I set for 2GB RAM?
Note: Microsoft recommends that you set virtual memory to not less than 1.5 times the size of your RAM and not more than three times the size of your RAM. So, if you have 2GB of RAM, you could type 6,000MB (1GB equals around 1,000MB) into Initial size and Maximum size boxes.
Do I need paging file?
You need to have a page file if you want to get the most out of your RAM, even if it is never used. … Having a page file gives the operating system more choices, and it will not make bad ones. There is no point in trying to put a page file in RAM.
Is it OK to delete the pagefile sys?
Because pagefile contains important information about your PC state and running programs, deleting it could have serious consequences and tank your system’s stability. Even if it takes up a large amount of space on your drive, pagefile is absolutely necessary for the smooth operation of your computer.
What is meant by paging?
Paging is a function of memory management where a computer will store and retrieve data from a device’s secondary storage to the primary storage. … Paging acts as an important part of virtual memory, as it allows programs in secondary storage to exceed the available size of the physical storage.

Hyundai Tucson gets better Latin NCAP safety rating
The new improved Tucson 6 airbag variant has got better rating in the recently conducted Latin NCAP test.
The Hyundai Tucson which was recently launched in India was under the radar because of low safety rating. During the crash test conducted by Euro NCAP back in November 2021, new gen Hyundai Tucson scored a 5-star safety.
However, the base variant with 2 airbags got 0-star safety rating during the recently conducted Latin NCAP crash test. On the other hand, the Tucson 2022 variant with 6 airbags has secured a 3-star safety rating.
In 2021 Latin NCAP tested the previous version of the Tucson with two airbags as standard in the basic version scoring zero stars.
This version of the Tucson was tested in frontal impact and side impact, whiplash and pedestrian protection. The lack of side curtain airbags as standard limited the score and performance in Adult Occupant Protection. The lack of ISOFIX marking and the standard lap belt in the rear centre position as well as the lack of passenger airbag disabling switch explains the low score for Child Occupant Protection.
As a result of the zero stars, Hyundai decided to improve the basic equipment of the model adding standard side airbags, side curtain airbags, three-point belts in all positions, i-size marking, seatbelt reminder for the front passenger position, ESC and speed limitation system.
In the updated model, the adult safety points scored were at 32.64 or 81.61% of the total available points. For child safety, it scored 34.07 points or 69.53% of the total available points.
The car was also tested in side pole impact, ESC, Moose Test and speed assist. These safety features showed satisfactory performance. Latin NCAP also tested optional equipment like Autonomous Emergency Braking, Lane Support Systems and Road Edge Detection, which all showed good performance.
Both the Secretary General of Latin NCAP, Alejandro Furas and the Chairman Stephan Brodziak welcomed Hyundai’s quick reaction to improve the safety standards of Tucson in order to meet the Latin NCAP criteria.

An old restaurant scam is making the rounds among restaurants across the nation in a new format. Restaurants are receiving large orders of 100 or more servings of food, with payment through a scammed credit card number. The restaurant is also requested to refund a overage to the customer through mail or wire transfer, and the establishment is left holding the bill when the credit card turns out to be faked.
Independent restaurant consultant Aaron Allen has released his new report entitled the “Top 50 Menu Engineering and Design Tips”. The list contains 50 different ideas and recommendations for making your restaurant’s menu as clear, appealing and exciting as possible. Allen’s firm included research on how the eye processes information according to color, flow and arrangement on a menu page.
The National Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Department is currently conducting interviews and investigations at over 30 national Chipotle Mexican Grill locations. The chain may have hired illegal immigrants without the right to work in the United States. No conclusive findings have been announced, and the chain is complying fully with the investigation.
Restaurants are cashing in on the popularity of social media by letting users access their menu digitally on iPads and Smart Phones instead of paper menus. Guests are also encouraged to Tweet their location and meal choices to friends and family, or check in through FourSquare. Even high end restaurants like The Carlton are using iPads for their constantly changing wine list.
A 20 year old student was struck and killed by a drunk driver in New York, and the state’s laws have found Dave & Buster’s accountable for over-serving the driver. The driver’s blood alcohol level was nearly 3 times as high as the legal limit. Dave and Buster’s will pay a $1.5 million dollar settlement to the parents of the deceased student.
Nick Vojnovic may not be the President of the Beef O’Bradys’ parent company any longer, but he is investing in a new chain that may take off soon. The Little Greek Restaurant chain is still small but wants to make the gyro part of the American fast casual dining scene. He has invested in three locations in Texas and Arizona.
The Miami International Airport now has a new bar and grill location as the Shula’s Bar&Grill has finally opened. Named after the NFL Hall of Fame coach Don Shula, the bar and grill serves a full menu of tavern fare like grilled burgers and appetizers. A full beer and wine list complement the food options. The restaurant is located just past the security check point in the main concourse.
Maggiano’s Little Italy is running their eight annual Eat-A-Dish for Make-A-Wish fundraiser from now until the end of June. Six special menu items will add $1 to the total donation from the chain to the charity, and patrons can also purchase paper stars to donate $1. The chain hopes to donate funding for at least two wishes for each of their 44 locations.

Operation Prom Date by Cindi Madsen
Publication Date: March 13th 2017 by Entangled Teen
Source: ARC from Publisher via Netgalley
Kate ships tons of fictional couples, but IRL her OTP is her and Mick, the hot quarterback she’s crushed on since, like, forever. With only one semester left of senior year, it’s now or never if she wants to land him in time for prom. Since she’s flirtationally challenged, she enlists Cooper Callihan, the guy who turned popular seemingly overnight but who used to be a good friend.
Cooper lives and breathes rowing, but his partner just broke his wrist. When he remembers Kate’s good with a set of oars, he strikes a deal: help him train, and he’ll make sure her crush notices her. Only he didn’t know how addicting spending time with her would be. Or how the more successful the Operation is, the more jealousy he experiences.
The mission has been set. The troops have their marching orders. But what if the target is the wrong guy all along?
I received an ARC of this book from the Publisher. No compensation in any form was received for the review of this book.
This book was super cute! Friends to lovers is my favorite trope, so it wasn’t hard for me to love the story. I rooted for Kate and Cooper since the start because their chemistry is so cute and undeniable!
This is my first read from Cindi Madsen so I didn’t know what to fully expect and I’m really glad to say that I definitely enjoyed the story. Kate and Cooper’s characters are easy to relate to, especially with Kate and her fangirl talk. I felt like we had so much in common, which was one of the reasons why it felt easier to read the story.
I also enjoyed the characters’ journey from friends to lovers. It was fun to see the whole thing unfold. I adored Cooper so much, since the beginning. Also there’s the fact that Cooper is a big space nerd, which I loved BECAUSE SAME, MAN. SAME!
Overall, I love the whole dynamics of the story. From friendships, family, and the romance, everything felt perfectly balanced. I just wished there was more distinguished voice difference between Kate and Cooper because it was a little confusing to read from two POVs, and this hasn’t happened to me before. Anyway, this book is overall great and definitely swoonworthy!

Yeager’s haphephobic protagonist /1404er/ has got over reality, family or the social and moved on – to a somewhat more tenable amnion of snuff porn, clickbait and casual online scapegoating. Amygdalatropolis inhabits our post-truth heterotopia like some virulent new literary life form, perfectly tooled for the death of worlds.
And Scott Wilson:
Amygdalatropolis is a work of brilliant neurorealism in which the city is a Computer, a libidinal pornutopia voided of all bedeutung other than the residual, electronic prickling of sexual fear and auto-autistic aggression where software and synapse flicker in an endless algorithmic loop. Norburt Wiener’s apocalyptic steersman leads directly here: a psychopathological cyberutopia heading straight into the lake of fire.

TRANSPORTATION//MEASURE B1 | The chair of the Alameda County Transportation Commission says the campaign for Measure B1, which narrowly missed out on a two-thirds majority last Election Day was “poorly-run” and county leaders need to quickly amass support for placing another measure before voters.
Measure B1 would have reignited a half-cent county transportation tax, approved in 1986 and 2000. However, the measure fell short by some 700 votes of clearing two-thirds with 66.53 percent support. The Alameda CTC on Thursday announced it will ask the Alameda County Registrar of Voters for a recount that could begin Dec. 3.
Alameda CTC Chair Mark Green, who is also Union City’s out-going mayor, said Tuesday night the ill-fated campaign could have done more with its vast resources. “It was a campaign that was poorly-run—well-financed—but, poorly-run,” said Green. “Just a targeted mailer here and there would have been enough to push that over.”
Green pinpointed the seeds of the measure’s demise came in the eastern and southern parts of Alameda County. In the Tri Valley cities of Dublin, Livermore and Pleasanton, said Green, just a single precinct among the three cities mustered more than two-thirds majorities. Furthermore, in Fremont, where funding for a potential BART station was on the table, just four precincts voting affirmatively for Measure B1, said Green.
The transportation hub of Alameda County, however, came through, said Green. Albany, Berkeley, Oakland and the centers of San Leandro and Hayward showed significant support for Measure B, he said. A quick legislative fix, though, needs to be found to keep repairs and construction on the East Bay’s aging trasportation infrascture moving forward, he said.
“The first thing that needs to be done for us to go up this mountain again,” added Green, “is legislation has to be there to allow Alameda County to get an additional half-cent authorization.”
In Sept. 2011, Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law Fremont Assemblyman Bob Wieckowski’s bill allowing for a one-time only, two-year exemption allowing the county exceed the two percent threshold on local taxes.
Green says he also already impressed upon the county’s newest legislators—Assemblymembers-elect Rob Bonta and Bill Quirk—the need to offer legislation reauthorizing another exemption. Yet, he believes the previous two-year window may have to be lengthened to four years along with threshold for approval lowered to possibly 55 percent.
Haggerty too. Pushed Livermore Bart but didn't deliver votes from his district.
i voted yes, but always felt it was a rough one to pass with so many money measures on the ballot-this measure can be brought back in 2014 without skipping a beat-i believe there is money in the bank to complete present approved projects-this measure was for future projects as origial measure b projects from 1986 and 2002 are completed-to me this is not serious-it maybe come so but not now except for potential job losses at ACTA-tony santos
Buck stops at Chair — and Green was chair during campaign. The myth of Mark Green is over. He can't raise money for viable cmpaigns, can't communicate a message which rallies activists and voters (bullying doesn't count – and shame on all those elected officials who allow themselves to be bullied by the big bad chair of ACTC, and lead and execute a campaign which includes mail and field. Also, time for better consultants for these campaigns.
Yeah, and Green would know a lot about poorly run campaigns.
It's pretty clear that Mark Green has no idea how to run a successful campaign, so his offhanded and ignorant comments aren't newsworthy. Anyone who knows anything about this knows that similar countywide tax measure campaigns have raised twice as much money and still failed – and they weren't trying to DOUBLE the amount and make it PERMANENT. I'm glad they are doing a recount and keeping my fingers crossed for a win. Our county needs measure b1 to pass.

Named after the 1963 bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala., this dirge opens with an ominous ringing of piano and bass chords -- seemingly announcing the approach of storm. It's worth noting that this John Coltrane song was originally recorded in the studio, but was released on the 'Live at Birdland' album.
The Billy Strayhorn-composed 'Lush Life' has been recorded many times over the years, but none are greater than this version done during a one-time 1963 meeting between Coltrane and the respected but not hugely popular singer Johnny Hartman. McCoy Tyner anchors this tune (accompanying both singer and saxophonist to great effect); however Coltrane's short double-time solo makes this number burn bright.
Recorded during the 1961 run at the Village Vanguard, 'India' features solos by Coltrane (on soprano saxophone) and Eric Dolphy (on bass clarinet). The song was featured on the the classic quartet's 'Impressions' album. Several years later, they would release their most famous record, 1964's 'A Love Supreme.'
'Chasin the Trane'
'Chasin' the Trane' is an unrelenting performance by Coltrane, who barely pauses during the 15-minute tune as he tears at melodic ideas and performs rhythmic summersaults, in what many be regarded as a classic performance from the 1961 run at Village Vanguard. Not his greatest composition, but arguably some of his greatest playing on the record.
'In a Sentimental Mood'
Coltrane cut a small group album with Duke Ellington that featured members from both leaders' bands. 'In a Sentimental Mood' matches Ellington's light sparkling piano with the dark simmering horn work of Trane. Everyone loves the album with Johnny Hartman, but this is a transcendent moment from another great collaboration.
From Coltrane's break-though album 'Giant Steps' -- which was recorded around the same time as 'Kind of Blue' with Miles Davis -- 'Naima' is the most soulful song of the Coltrane canon. Coltrane, known for his furious intensity and extended solos, barely plays above a whisper here, nor does he wander far from the melody during the four-and-a-half-minute song.
Coltrane only did one album for Blue Note, but 1957's 'Blue Train' is a classic. This session featured a rehearsed band and Coltrane's strongest composition before his work on 'Giant Steps.' The title's opening cut highlights the strong three-horn front line and reveals a sophisticated texture that wasn't in his other work during that time.
Coltrane was also a talented composer, capable of brilliant penmanship. The hypnotic brilliance of 'Acknowledgement' is a testament of this. The breathy saxophone notes reaching to the heavens and the earthy bass line pulling us back to earth send chills down the spine of any self respecting jazz fan, every time they hear it.
The song by which all saxophonist's measure themselves, 'Giant Steps' is the arrival of Coltrane as a player. This song starts at a full gallop, where a descending figure soon erupts into furious solo. It's as if the saxophonist can't seem to get the notes out fast enough, as he goes through the same three scales, over and over again.
'My Favorite Things'
Recorded in 1960, this John Coltrane song -- written by Rodgers and Hammerstein for the 'Sound of Music' soundtrack -- works on so many levels. The simple, folk-like melody inspired the saxophonist to go amazing heights. There weren't many gigs where Coltrane didn't use it as his centerpiece -- sometimes taking the tune out into the stratosphere for an hour at a time. A jazz landmark.

“I think it’s a fun ride. It’s a great action film and a solid family drama. I think that’s a great entertainment combination.”
– Lin Oeding
The feature-length directorial debut for veteran stuntman and stunt coordinator Lin Oeding (Straight Outta Compton, The Equalizer), the minimalist, existential thriller Braven is one heck of an entertaining ride.
The filmmakers manage to maintain a level of dramatic comedic absurdity throughout that’s both humorous and heartfelt, granting Freak Show an emotional resonance that’s somewhat surprising.
Yet, even at an epic 142 minutes, gosh darn it all if I didn’t still get a kick out of watching The Death Cure.
Yet tension exists, and terror continually follows it, everything building to a suitably violent and destructive climax that kept me moving forward in my seat eager to discover how things were going to turn out.
It can safely be said that predicting the nominees, let alone the eventual winners, of the 90th annual Academy Awards, is as difficult this year as it has ever been.
With the war in Afghanistan ongoing and no immediate end to the conflict in sight, the fact 12 Strong plays like nationalistic propaganda shouldn’t be surprising.
None of that matters because Den of Thieves is so brain dead, so filled with bad ideas and lame plot devices, that maintaining interest in what is going on and why, let alone caring about who is going to survive until the end, is practically impossible.
Neeson and Collet-Serra know what they’re doing and they’ve got the formula down pat. For fans of the pair, there are certainly far worse ways to spend a couple of hours. If anything, The Commuter sure beats getting stuck in rush hour traffic on the way home from work.

The U.S. Supreme Court extended gun rights to every state and city in the nation yesterday, in a ruling likely to spur new challenges to gun control measures across the United States.
The 5-4 ruling could ultimately make it easier for individuals to own handguns.
Splitting along conservative and liberal lines, the nation’s highest court extended its landmark 2008 ruling, that individual Americans have a constitutional right to own guns, to all cities and states for the first time.
The decision was a setback for Chicago’s 28-year-old ban on handguns, which will now face a fresh judicial review and is likely to be eventually overturned.
Legal challenges to existing laws restricting gun use in other states and cities are also expected.
The right to bear arms, under the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, previously applied to just federal laws and federal enclaves, like Washington D.C., where the court struck down a similar handgun ban in its 2008 ruling.
Gun rights has been one of the country’s most divisive social, political and legal issues. Some 90 million people in the United States have an estimated 200 million guns.
The United States is estimated to have the world’s highest civilian gun ownership rate. Gun deaths average about 80 a day, 34 of them homicides, according to U.S. government statistics.
