Livestream Saudi Arabian Grand Prix: preview
Jeddah is hosting the first street circuit race of the 2023 F1 season, which means impossibly tight corners at ridiculously high speeds and, inevitably, one or two cars in the barriers. Charles Leclerc suffered a belated heartbreak at the Saudi Arabia GP a year ago when Max Verstappen overtook him late for victory, and the Ferrari man suffered an early blow this time.
Leclerc will have to give up at least 10 places on the grid on Sunday, as punishment for the problems with the electronic control unit that forced him to withdraw from the season opener. It’s hard to take, especially as the Red Bull looks fantastic. What could be to liven things up, however, is another excellent performance from Fernando Alonso.
A podium finish for the Spaniard suggests that the Aston Martin may be the second fastest car on the grid. The fact that Lance Stroll was able to finish ahead of George Russell, despite having to drive with two broken wrists and a broken toe, having completely missed pre-season testing, suggests that Mercedes is dead wrong .
Also consider Esteban Ocon. The Frenchman needs to clear his head after a chaotic outing in Bahrain. After initially receiving a five-second penalty for the schoolboy’s error of standing outside the lines of his starting box, he was given a further 10 seconds for not correctly serving his first penalty, and then a further five seconds when he was caught speeding. in the pit lane… while on his way to serve the previous penalty.
Alpine put him out of his misery with an early retirement, although Ocon suffered the added embarrassment of watching his teammate and frenemy Pierre Gasly rise from last to ninth in his first race for his new team.
Drivers from five different teams departing in Q1 suggest the grid is tighter than it has been in years, so keep scrolling to find out where in the world you can get an F1 live stream for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

Eating avocado every day for a week will do this to your body. Avocados aren’t just for millennials anymore. However, we must say they are delicious on toast. Avocados are truly an amazing fruit. Not only are they a glorious shade of green, they’re packed with loads of healthy fats and health benefits. Not a fan of the avocado. Well, we think you will be after reading this article. Disagree? Today we’re going to let you in on all the secret health benefits of the avocado and give you some great ideas on how to make it delicious. First of all, we should probably go over what an avocado actually is. Is it a veggie? Is it a fruit? Hold onto your seeds because it’s a berry. You know what we know? We were shocked, too. We can hear you asking Aunt Berries, tiny little bite sized bits of yum. Apparently not. The official definition of a berry is as follows. A berry is a fleshy fruit produced from a single ovary. Mind blown. That’s just one amazing thing about the avocado. And we’ve only just begun.
There are many types of avocados out there, but the most popular one is called the hass avocado. And that’s the one we’re going to be focusing on today. It’s sometimes called the alligator pear, which is pretty accurate because avocados do have a sort of green bumpy skin and are indeed shaped like a pear to eat an avocado. You peel the outer layer, eat the yellowish, greenish, fleshy stuff inside and compost the seed. You’ve probably eaten avocado at some point in your life because they’re the main ingredient in guacamole.
Pass the chips, please. Besides being delicious on nachos, avocados are a go to super food for folks who are trying to be more health conscious. It makes sense, according to health line. Avocados contain a wide variety of nutrients and are packed with over 20 different vitamins and minerals, including potassium, vitamin C, vitamin E and many, many more. Not to mention they taste delicious.
One thing commonly known about the avocado is that it’s pretty fatty. In fact, it’s one of the fattest plant foods on this green earth. But maybe don’t make fun of them for it. They’re sensitive. However, these are the good kind of fats, healthy fats that you want in your body. It does have a few carbs as well, but most of them are really fiber. So, it’s actually great for any low carb diet you’re on.
Plus, they don’t contain any cholesterol or sodium. So that’s a bonus. If you’re focusing on your blood pressure, remember that potassium we were talking about? Well, normally, bananas get all the credit, but in reality, avocados are a better source of this much needed mineral. Pub med reports that having a high amount of potassium in your diet might reduce or regulate your blood pressure, which is a major risk factor for heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure.
More walk, please. So far, we’ve talked about blood pressure and the fact that avocados can possibly lower your risk of heart attack. That must mean they’re good for your heart. It’s true. Avocados are full of oleic acid. This is a mono unsaturated fatty acid and is a great heart. Healthy fatty acid according to help line.
Okay, that’s enough sciences stuff for now. Let’s get to the good part. It’s great on toast. All jokes aside, avocado makes a tasty spread on bread and is a much healthier choice than butter, jam or even her beloved mayonnaise. Try it with your eggs on toast or on a sandwich for a healthy kick. Not only can you swap butter for avocado on bread, but in baking as well. Ever heard of avocado brownies? How about chocolate chip cookies with avocado instead of butter? They’re so tasty and a much healthier option.
Speaking of all things avocado and delicious. There’s something called avocado oil and it seems like it can work magic on the body. According to the Huffington Post, avocado oil is very similar to olive oil only with the avocado oil. You could be decreasing your risk of heart disease, cancer and keep yourself looking younger for longer.
Research in Mexico tells us that this oil has the power to combat destructive rogue oxygen molecules that are known to destroy cell membranes, proteins and DNA. So next time you’re looking to use some olive oil and maybe try avocado oil instead. Hungry yet? US, too. Let’s. Jo over to something that won’t make us salivate. Avocados aren’t just for eating; they can be your skin’s best D2. They work great as a moisturizer. They can prevent chafing and reduce wrinkles. Even Kim Kardashian uses avocado on her skin.
The Huffington Post has a great recipe for a super easy face mask that’ll help moisturize and block wrinkles. This is starting to feel like a skin cream ad.
Let’s just get to the recipe mix, raw honey yogurt and an avocado together and mush it onto your face. Simple as that. OK. Now back to the health benefits of this mean green superfood. Avocado could help you on your weight loss journey as well. One of the most difficult things about losing weight is cutting down on your calorie intake or basically eating less food in a day.
Your stomach usually didn’t get. The memo, which leaves you feeling hungry and feeling hungry is no fun. There was a study posted on PubMed that found folks who eat avocado with their meal filled 23 percent more satisfied and had a 28 percent lower desire to eat over the following five hours compared to those who didn’t eat avocado. So that means that avocado might help you to feel fuller for longer. In a completely natural way, which means you’re more likely to stick with your weight loss, diet and snack less often.
Plus, like we said before, avocados are delicious. So, adding them into your meal is super easy. Another fantastic thing about avocados is that they’re great for women who are pregnant, he says. Finally, something you’re allowed to eat. The U.S. National Library of Medicine published a study that just reaffirmed the fact that avocados are packed full of fiber, potassium, mono unsaturated fats and lipid soluble antioxidants, which are all fantastic for breast milk quality. The outcome of birth and overall maternal health. Now, you know all the incredible health benefits of this amazing super food. And we want to make sure you get the best avocado when you’re out hunting. So how do you know when an avocado is ripe? Yes, this is the question that plagues all avocado lovers.
There is a secret to it. And do your best. Viewer, we’re going to let you in on it when you’re out shopping for the perfect avocado. You usually want one that’s darker in color. This is sometimes a great indicator that the berry is ripe for eating. We just said sometimes that’s a great indicator because this doesn’t always work if the color is throwing you off. You want one that’s a tiny bit soft as in doesn’t feel rock heard when you pick it up. If the avocado starts to give under the pressure of your thumb, then you know it’s ready to be enjoyed. Feel free to pass on this super-secret knowledge on how to pick the perfect avocado to all your pals. Or you could just tell them to watch this video. Who we don’t mind? And that’s the amazing avocado. What did you think of our video? Did we give you enough health facts about this delicious and strange berry? Did you already love avocados and have a great recipe you’d like to share? Tell us in the comments section below all your favorite arvo inspired dishes.

“I’m not Greta Garbo,” says Gary Barnett of Extell company, a developer of luxury Manhattan buildings and just about the only builder of consequence who hasn’t been stopped by the crash. While Barnett is an increasingly visible presence on the Manhattan skyline, most of his life is elsewhere. An Orthodox Jew and father of ten children, he lives in Queens and guards his privacy obsessively. In a recent Crain’s article, he refused to divulge his age (he is 54). “It’s not like I’m frightened of the camera,” he continues. “I’m not Howard Hughes. It’s not that I hate publicity because I hate publicity. It’s that I don’t see any good use of it. Donald Trump sells buildings that way, or he gets a television show and makes money off it. But that doesn’t do anything for me.”
Barnett is the anti-Trump. His buildings are as ostentatious as he is unassuming. Extell, which Barnett founded in the early nineties after a career as a diamond trader in Belgium, is emblematic of a new type of New York real-estate firm that specializes in developing ultraluxury buildings that are akin to gated communities in the sky, where buyers with millions to spend can satisfy nearly any desire without ever stepping outside. His condos, like the 60-story Orion on West 42nd Street or the Ariel towers on Broadway at 99th Street, include such extravagances as indoor lap pools, spas, screening rooms, and pet salons. Barnett’s particular vision for urban living now appears wildly out of touch with current economic realities—and yet he continues to sell properties to buyers who, so far at least, have been insulated from the ravages of the recession. “He has a really strong stomach,” Corcoran CEO Pamela Liebman says. “He shows no fear.”
Barnett’s lone-wolf style has not exactly endeared him to his peers. New York real estate has long attracted players who view business as both a commercial and a civic pursuit. Jerry Speyer, the co-CEO of Tishman Speyer, is perhaps the most famous archetype of the New York macher, serving as a confidant to mayors and governors. Inside the fishbowl of New York real estate, Barnett has few friends. He’s a subject of fascination and derision, a combative figure who is unafraid to challenge the industry order. Since blasting onto the scene at the start of the last decade, he has clashed with Bruce Ratner and the New York Times for control of the land under the Times’ new Eighth Avenue headquarters and made a surprise eleventh-hour bid for Atlantic Yards just as Ratner thought the massive development project was in his grasp. And now that the boom is over, Barnett is even more out of step with his peers. While few other developers are building, Barnett is charging ahead with projects that are grander than anything conceived at the market’s vertiginous peak. In March of this year, he snapped up the Helmsley Carlton House at 680 Madison Avenue for $170 million, vastly outbidding other suitors. And, in an act of either extreme confidence or epic folly (or both), Extell recently started construction on a project called Carnegie 57, a 1,000-foot-tall, $1.3 billion condo and hotel designed by Christian de Portzamparc and backed by the investment arm of the Abu Dhabi royal family. When completed in 2013, Carnegie 57 will top Trump’s U.N. Plaza tower for bragging rights as the city’s tallest residential building. “There’s a resentment that he’s able to still build and doesn’t give the appearance that he’s affected by this market,” says Stuart Saft, a partner at Dewey & LeBoeuf.
The resentment is tempered by the fact that many of his peers expect him to fail. “You have to bet that the peak will be higher than it’s ever been,” one incredulous real-estate banker said. “It’s a huge bet.”
“I don’t see there being significant competition for what we’re doing,” Barnett tells me. Barnett is standing at a conference table in his corner office, flipping through a glossy prospectus with renderings of the Carnegie 57 tower—a real-estate fairy tale in blue glass, punching out of a scrum of midtown skyscrapers. “I hate to speak in hyperbole, but I think it’s going to be the nicest project done in the city, because the architecture is beautiful,” Barnett says, sounding, it must be said, more like Trump than usual.
Barnett claims that irrational exuberance is not involved in his building spree. “There’s no new inventory coming to market,” he says. “If you go around, there’s a lot of pieces of dirt that didn’t get built. When this thing crashed, there wasn’t tons of overhang of inventory. If the bubble had continued for another two or three years, it might have been really bad.”

Gov. Jerry Brown’s proposed 2013-14 “balanced” budget will be an improvement over successive years of multibillion-dollar deficits, if his projections come to pass. Based on Sacramento’s track record, that may be a big “if.”
In his State of the State speech, scheduled Thursday, Mr. Brown should be frank about his budget projections. Republicans say that without accounting changes and rosy projections, the budget would reflect a deficit of nearly $2 billion, despite billions in higher taxes. Mr. Brown admirably showed some restraint for 2013-14, but still would increase spending substantially over the current year without first guaranteeing the general fund will be in the black. That’s backward.
The governor also should be open about why he wants to spend any of the temporary income tax and sales tax increases from Proposition 30 on ongoing programs. Paying down debt instead could free up other general fund revenue. Moreover, from where will money come to fund those programs at the same level once the Prop. 30 taxes expire in seven years? Isn’t Mr. Brown building in higher costs without the revenue to cover them down the road?
The governor’s address should propose paring down expenditures, contingent on close, real-time monitoring of his fiscal projections, rather than waiting until deep into the fiscal year to discover the state is in another financial hole. Early cuts can prevent deeper cuts later.
The California Taxpayers Association found the governor’s budget doesn’t address the Unemployment Insurance Fund deficit and huge unfunded retiree health care and pension liabilities, guaranteeing those fixes will be more costly later. Mr. Brown needs a plan this year, not another year of delay as situations worsen.
CalTax also says the governor offered no explanation why the Prop. 63 income tax on millionaires to fund mental health programs, approved in 2004, will bring in only $1.194 billion, rather than the projected $1.349 billion in 2012-13. We suspect fewer millionaires are paying California taxes. If high-earners are leaving the state, or their earnings are being diminished, the governor needs to face up to how costly government policies on doing business and living in California contribute, then take corrective measures. Mr. Brown’s Prop. 30 tax increase on high earners figures to exacerbate that downward revenue trend. He should propose tax reductions to offset Prop. 30 tax increases, looking to stimulate the economy and, consequently, boost tax receipts.
CalTax also reported that projections of tax revenue from Facebook’s stock offering are reduced in Mr. Brown’s new budget to $1.3 billion over three years; the estimate last year was $1.9 billion to the state by June 2013. And the vaunted cap-and-trade cash cow – money from auctioning rights for businesses to emit greenhouse gases – is downsized from $1 billion to $200 million because of the weak response at August’s first permit auction.
Voters and taxpayers deserve a realistic portrayal of the state budget. Mr. Brown has an opportunity to provide the unvarnished truth in his State of the State address.

This paper examines the impact of two incentive schemes on school attendance in rural Bangladesh: a food-for-education program for poor primary school children and a female secondary school scholarship scheme. The data come from an in-depth village study, before and after the programs went into effect. Both programs provide direct financial incentives to families to send their children to and keep them in school. The data also allow for an assessment of an informal school program sponsored by BRAC, a national non-governmental institution, at the study sites. School enrollment in the target population increased more rapidly than would have been predicted by long-term trends and coincided with the introduction of the incentives. Furthermore, the school incentives resulted in marriage delays for young girls. Qualitative evidence also documents a change in perceptions about the importance of education for underprivileged groups in society.

Obama Rallies Troops in Afghanistan: 'Tired of Playing Defense'
Stormy weather greets the president on his surprise visit to Afghanistan.
BAGRAM AIR BASE, Afghanistan, Dec. 3, 2010— -- One year and two days after President Obama appeared before an audience at West Point and told the nation he was sending 30,000 more U.S. troops to Afghanistan, he has come to meet with troops in the war-torn country for his second visit as commander in chief. He was greeted by bad weather and storms of an altogether different kind.
The rough winds and dark clouds could symbolize the challenges the president and his team face here as the war -- now in its 10th year -- risks being undermined by a corrupt government, a strong insurgency, leaks of classified cables, waning public support and shifting political winds.
In a pep talk to troops at the Bagram Air Base, Obama praised their work and expressed cautious optimism about the future.
"You are protecting your country. You are achieving your objective. You will succeed in your mission," a casually dressed Obama said to 3,850 troops in the audience. "We said we were going to break the Taliban's momentum, and that's what you're doing. You're going on the offense, tired of playing defense."
The president was originally scheduled to have a "working dinner" with Afghan President Hamid Karzai at his presidential palace in Kabul in this unannounced visit and to meet with civilian personnel at the, U.S. Embassy in the capital city.
Obama's arrival in Afghanistan was first reported by ABC News' Martha Raddatz, who learned of Obama's arrival independently while on assignment in Afghanistan and was not traveling with the White House press pool.
There are more than 1,000 U.S. government civilian employees here, from the State Department, USAID and nine other agencies, a tripling since the president announced his new policy one year ago.
But strong winds and low cloud cover made helicopter travel hazardous, so in the last few hours of the president's trip to Bagram on Air Force One, the Kabul part of the visit was scrapped.
The "ceiling" -- the cloud cover -- between Bagram and Kabul is less than 1,000 feet, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters on Air Force One. Wind speeds are 45 mph and above, with less than two miles of visibility.
"It all made helicopter travel not an option," Gibbs said.
Instead, the president spoke over the phone with Karzai for 15 minutes, before meeting with Gen. David Petraeus, Ambassador Karl Eikenberry, National Security Adviser Tom Donilon and Gen. Douglas Lute.
Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications, Ben Rhodes, said the cancellation of the visit to the palace wasn't of tremendous importance, because the president and Karzai spoke at a NATO summit in Lisbon, Portugal, a few weeks ago, after Karzai expressed frustration with night raids by ISAF forces and Obama said Karzai has "got to listen to us as well."
The president today met with eight wounded patients at Bagram -- five troops and three civilians -- and presented four Purple Heart awards. He also met with troops from the 101st Airborne Division, which is in the midst of its fourth combat deployment since 2003, having served two tours in Iraq and one previous 15 month rotation in Afghanistan from 2008 through 2009.
The president also met with the unit that lost six soldiers earlier this week when an Afghan border police officer went on a shooting spree in Nangarhar province. The unit these soldiers were with had only 18 men, so one third of them were wiped out "in five seconds," a senior officer told Raddatz. The Taliban claimed that the police officer had joined the force so eventually he could carry out a shooting like this, a claim that U.S. officials doubt.
Obama mentioned the members of the platoon today in his remarks as a sobering reminder that war is costly.
"Progress comes at a high price," the president said. "We know their memories will never be forgotten. Their lives have been added to the lives of our nation."
The trip was shrouded in secrecy for security reasons, with the reporters who accompanied the president not permitted to announce his presence here until after the president landed.
This visit comes at a pivotal moment for the president. More than 1,300 U.S. troops have been killed in Afghanistan since the war began, with more dying this year than any previous year, as Obama has increased the number of troops to 100,000.

Answer: Although cross pollination would not be a problem, the two prefer very different soil with blueberries requiring an extremely acidic soil that is humusy and evenly moist yet well drained. For this reason you would not want to grow the two intermixed together. Most blueberry varieties require a pollinator. You might want to check with your county extension to see which varieties they are recommending as doing particularly well in your area.

You Can Have a Strong Relationship With Your Teen: Here's How
May 08, 2019
As children enter the early teen years, more and more of their lives takes place away from you. For parents, trying to balance teens’ increasing need for privacy and independence with the need for adequate supervision and involvement may often make you feel like you are walking the tightrope in the circus—over a cage of hungry lions. The good news is that you have more than a decade of parental experience under your belt. So although you may feel unprepared, you are well qualified for the task at hand.
Trust Your Gut
As kids become teenagers, one of the biggest mistakes parents make is to stop trusting their gut. You had no trouble making rules and setting appropriate limits when they were 10 or 11. The magic number 13 shouldn’t change that. Remember, no one knows your child better than you. If something seems off, it likely is. Follow your instincts and do what you think is right.
Clear and Communicated Expectations
The easiest way to help your teens toe the line is to ensure they know what is expected of them. Be sure your rules, family values, and expectations are clearly communicated and consistent. Supervision, rules, and privileges should be age-specific and the same for all family members—boys and girls.
Don’t be dismayed when “nothing” seems to be the answer to every question you ask your teens. Grilling them or prying is a surefire way to make sure they never open up. Take a new approach. Tell them about your day. Acknowledge if they look angry, upset or sad, and make yourself available—“I’ll be over here if you want to talk.” You’ll be pleasantly surprised how they open up.
Stay On That Pedestal
It might be hard to recall, but your teens are the same children who used to think you were invincible. Don’t lose your parental credibility by trying to relate as a friend, instead of a parent. It doesn’t matter how you behaved as a teen. Save those stories for when your kids are adults.
Privacy is a Privilege, Not a Right
Teens must earn the privilege of privacy and independence. Be sure to dole it out a little at a time and evaluate how they manage before you give a little more. Throughout their teen years, this will be a constant ebb and flow—as they show they can be trusted and you give more, or they misstep and you reign them back in.
Kids Will Be Kids
There is no doubt that your teens will make mistakes; thankfully, most will be relatively minor, but don’t make the parental mistake of under-reacting when it is something serious. Any sign of substance use should be dealt with as a major offense. Consequences should be enough of an ordeal for your teen that they serve as a true deterrent for such behavior in the future.
Crime and Punishment
If you want your rules followed, there have to be consequences when they are broken. The key is that the punishment is reasonable and enforceable. Keep it short and sweet when delivering justice. Don’t engage your teen in a discussion about the reasons behind your rules when they are being enforced. Save those conversations for another time and place.
Large and Lasting Influence
Research proves that cultivating a strong parent/child relationship ensures that you will have a large influence over your teens’ behavior for a long time. A strong relationship doesn’t mean that you always agree. It means you take interest in what they do, share your opinions, make yourself available for them to talk to, know who their friends are, and step in where necessary to keep them physically and emotionally safe. You can expect challenges to your ability to love and understand them. You also can expect to be compared to other parents. What they are really saying to you is your limits are meaningful. Even though it may be hard to believe, they some day will be thanking you.

Answers To Your Questions
Logbook loans are generally a very straightforward type of loan, but we’re sure you have a number of questions so have compiled answers to some of the common questions we receive from Heath applicants.
How do Heath Logbook Loans work?
The way Cardiff loans against cars work is you use your car as security for getting a loan. The only thing you need to hand over is the logbook (also known as V5 document) of your vehicle. The logbook is held by the lender as collateral, and you get to keep and use your vehicle throughout the agreement. The document is then returned to you when you finish repaying the loan. Loans are available throughout Cardiff and are increasing in popularity with those with bad credit.
What documents do I need to provide?
Enquiring about a loan is easy and only takes a few minutes of your time. You’ll need to provide some personal information along with a copy of your photo ID, your logbook (or V5 documents) most recent MOT, proof of car insurance, proof of Cardiff residency, and proof of income. These things will all help lenders verify your identity and ownership, and it will also help lenders decide what type of loan you can qualify for.
Why are Logbook Loans a good idea?
They are often a good type of loan for Heath borrowers with bad credit scores because they consider all credit hostory. If other loan lenders refuse to offer or give you a loan because of your current credit score, why not apply for a V5 loan? If you own a car and want a loan that considers all applicants, Cardiff V5 document loans could be the perfect solution. With this type of loan, you do not even have to go through the long and arduous processes you’d have with the banks.
Can I still get a V5 Loan even if i’m unemployed?
Yes, Cardiff residents could still get a loan although you will still need to be able to prove that you can afford the repayments every month to avoid losing your vehicle. Responsible lending approaches mean the lender needs to be satisfied that you aren’t going to risk gong into arrears. To find out whether you can make a successful Heath loan application, simply enquire online using the form on this page.
Does my poor credit score matter?
Even if you have a poor credit score, you may still be eligible for a loan as long as you have a car which you can use as collateral. Even though you will still have to undergo a credit check, your chances of securing a V5 loan could be good. To qualify, you also need to be a registered citizen, be of sound mind, be of the legal age, and own a car that’s legally registered in your name.
What happens if I can’t prove my current income?
Cardiff V5 lenders need to see proof that you can afford the monthly payments so you don’t risk going into arrears or even risk losing your vehicle. Being responsible lenders means only lending to Heath applicants that have the means to prove that they could afford to pay it back. If you think you might have trouble proving your income, then please get in touch to discuss the lending options that might be available to you.
What about car maintenance during the loan?
Although a logbook lender does reserve the right to take possession of your car if you default on your payments, if you are current, you are still the owner of the car. As such, all maintenance remains your responsibility, and this includes MOT checks, insurance, and regular servicing. Your lender will expect normal wear and tear along with additional mileage on the car, but if anything should significantly reduce the car’s value, you will be expected to report that change to the lender as soon as possible.
Do V5 Loans show up on HPI checks?
V5 loans should show up on any HPI checks, and are displayed as a Bill of Sale agreement. However, this isn’t always the case. In case you conduct the HPI check, and follow the purchasing guideline, then you’ll be protected by the HPI guarantee in case it turns out that there’s a V5 loan against the vehicle.
What is the repayment duration?
Your loan can be arranged with either a 12, 18 or 36 month duration and since there are no penalties for early repayment you can save money on interest payments by settling the account early.
To find answers to any further queries you may have then simply get in touch today using the short form you can see above. You’ll be contacted by an advisor who can answer any questions you have to see if a V5 loan is for you.

After a cruise on the Aranui 3, a friend and I stayed at the Royal Tahitien, and found it the perfect place to wind down and prepare for the flight home. True, it is old style, 60's decor. But the room was huge, with a full kitchen, tile floors, drapes that kept out the light, and a/c that worked and kept things cool. Our room was situated in the back so no unwelcome noise from the band escaped to keep sleep at bay.
A few kilometers from town, and the airport, it has a convenient location. We took the bus downtown for something to do, and it was relatively easy. The restaurant was great, and we had dinner there twice and lunch once. Full of locals,who,obviously enjoyed the evening music and the French fare. Set at the waters edge, with the sounds of lapping waves, we found it really quite delightful. I would stay there again.
This is old style decor, but it was clean and suited us perfectly.More

text: In 1877, Reverend W.H. Smith and 300 former slaves established this community. They decided to name their new town based on the story from The Bible. The town started without any buildings and the citizens lived in dugouts on the Kansas prairie. The community recruited many former slaves from Kentucky and the town was thriving by 1885. During this time, the town consisted of three general stores, one bank, two newspapers, three churches and numerous houses. The railroads never came and the town did not prosper. Like so many towns in the 1800’s the railroad was vital to a new town’s success. Today, the town still remains as a testament to the spirit and achievements of African-American culture. During the last weekend of July, the town celebrates “Homecoming”. Many former citizens and descendants come to celebrate from near and far. Nicodemus has also become a National Historic Site.

Homemade Birthday Invites: Estro Fest 2012
One day I just decided that I was going to have a birthday party for myself this year. This was like one week ago... I had a notebook of Strathmore Imperial Watercolor postcards I picked up at Craft Bits and Pieces for .10 cents. It was one of the random purchases that I had no idea when I would use them but for .10 cents and Strathmore paper come on... you just have to get them.
During Saturday Art with the ladies I began playing around with layering paint, adding texture mediums in, stamping, etc... using the postcards and later when I got home an idea started to form. Why don't I turn these into birthday postcard party invites? I spent another Saturday Art session making a total of 13 postcards and with my friends help came up with the theme; "Estro Fest @ Casey's House. Come Party!" This is based off of an old Vagina Monolog's advertisement. I decided to have an all ladies party this year going along with my pre-vorce theme this year of "girl power" kick that I'm on.
Each invite is unique. I'll post the fronts of the cards but not the backs because obviously my information is on the back. Can't wait for the party!
The one self criticism I have is that as I was writing the words on the front of the cards I began to wish I hadn't. The fronts are so neat and took so much time to make that I wish I would have kept them just as the piece of art and put the words all on the other side. The problem was writing all of the info. on half a side of a postcard was tough to fit it all in as it was, but I still which I hadn't wrote on the front. Another criticism is that my writing style still sucks. I need to take a class or something. Anyone know of tutorials online?

To build success, you need to learn to deal with the various romances and approve the options that have the potential to be hurdles later on. Each one of the different types of associations within types lives possesses a strong affect on your level of total success.
While previously mentioned, there are two fundamental types of relationships that tend to obtain people straight down and stay there for your very long time; these types of relationships tend to end up being long-term friends and long-term lovers. Both of them are very different from one another and one person aren’t simply consist of one type of relationship to another. Nevertheless , if both types of relationships will be worked on constantly then the probability of one person surviving in life are greatly improved. It also makes it better to let go of any kind of unwanted or toxic good friends or earlier lovers that may be causing you challenges in the present day.
On the other hand, there are other types of relationships which have been shorter when compared to a friendship. These relationships may be as short as a weekend encounter or maybe a few months at many. Unfortunately, very often the harmful relationship is actually causes people to feel bitterness. A negative reviews from someone is going to produce a person to develop a wall structure around themselves. Friendships with poisonous partners can eventually dress in people straight down and they will truly feel overwhelmed and hopeless. Therefore , it is important that offer yourself space when it comes to your romance.

One of the least complicated ways to examine whether a relationship will work for you is by thinking back to just how much time you were spending with your spouse.

However , in the event you two are generally separated by a time constraint then you might not have that foundation. You have to think about what kind of emotional support do you give one another. Allow me to explain provide mental support then you certainly cannot expect to have a long term relationship.
One of the most hard things to do when in this sort of types of relationships is to not get envious. Jealousy can cause a great deal of discomfort within a romantic relationship.

This protein encodes an enzyme that synthesizes selenophosphate from selenide and ATP. Selenophosphate is the selenium donor used to synthesize selenocysteine, which is co-translationally incorporated into selenoproteins at in-frame UGA codons. This protein itself contains a selenocysteine residue in its predicted active site. The 3' UTR of the gene has a stem-loop secondary structure called a selenocysteine insertion sequence (SECIS) element, which allows UGA to direct the incorporation of selenocysteine rather than signal a translational stop.

Laser Torpedoes are a special weapon that has the unique ability to track targets, allowing them to reliably hit. The main advantage of them is that they deal massive burst damage reliably at long distances. This allows you to cripple small ships easily as they cannot dodge it easily. They also deal good damage to stronger materials such as iron, making them useful against Ironclads. However, they do have a couple of drawbacks. The first one is their long reload times, which prevents them from dealing good sustained damage. The second one is that they are countered by point defence, commonly found on more expensive ships, and therefore is usually less effective against them. However, overall a Laser Torpedo Tube is usually valued higher than a Heavy Mount, especially when a ship comes with many of them.
These big, slow missiles store power from the ship's sails, and then use it to power their own engines. Laser Torpedoes explode when they make contact with a ships hull, doing terrible damage. Nimble ships can often outmaneuver them, so get in close to ensure a succesful shot. As a Torpedo tracks the enemy target, it will detonate should a careless ally ship get in the way.


AFR joined more than 45 organizations in submitting a comment letter to the OCC and the FDIC supporting their proposed guidance on bank payday lending. The letter praises their proposal, and adds some additional steps that we believe would be beneficial to curbing the use of payday loans.
AFR joined more than 15 leaders of public interest groups in releasing a joint statement applauding the FDIC and the OCC for their proposed guidance issued this week directing banks to stop making predatory loans that trap borrowers in a cycle of debt with 300% interest.
AFR sent a letter to the Federal Reserve and FDIC on the reported transfer of the Merrill Lynch derivatives book to Bank of America’s depository subsidiary, which could expose taxpayers to substantial additional risks.”
AFR submitted a comment to the FDIC and the Federal Reserve on the rules implementing the Dodd-Frank requirement that companies submit “living wills” and records of credit exposures. “Living Wills” are plans detailing how the company could be resolved through the bankruptcy process without a need for government intervention. AFR supported the rules but suggested they be strengthened by requiring planning for situations of market stress and also by establishing more thorough and continuous records of credit exposures.

After years of work, Moore was able to extend the operating life of the lamps by inventing an electromagnetically controlled valve that maintained a constant gas pressure within the tube. Although Moore’s lamp was complicated, was expensive to install, and required very high voltages, it was considerably more efficient than incandescent lamps, and it produced a closer approximation to natural daylight than contemporary incandescent lamps. From 1904 onwards Moore’s lighting system was installed in a number of stores and offices. Its success contributed to ’s motivation to improve the incandescent lamp, especially its filament. GE’s efforts came to fruition with the invention of a -based filament. The extended lifespan and improved efficacy of incandescent bulbs negated one of the key advantages of Moore’s lamp, but GE purchased the relevant patents in 1912. These patents and the inventive efforts that supported them were to be of considerable value when the firm took up fluorescent lighting more than two decades later.
Although Edison lost interest in fluorescent lighting, one of his former employees was able to create a gas-based lamp that achieved a measure of commercial success. In 1895 demonstrated lamps 2 to 3 meters (6.6 to 9.8 ft) in length that used or to emit white or pink light, respectively. As with future fluorescent lamps, they were considerably more complicated than an incandescent bulb.
Although there are a large number of lighting options, the majority of lighting in homes is done by either or fluorescent lights. Fluorescent lighting has a considerable advantage in energy efficiency over incandescent lighting. Fluorescent lights can produce 50-100 /watt compared to about 15 lumens/watt for incandescent bulbs.

Ahead of the Artemis missions that will send humans back to the moon, scientists at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center received samples of the lunar surface that were preserved in a freezer at the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston since Apollo 17 astronauts returned them to Earth in December 1972.
The research is part of the space agency’s Apollo Next Generation Sample Analysis Program (ANGSA), which is an effort to study the samples returned from the Apollo Program in preparation for the Artemis missions to the Moon’s south pole.
The process of getting the samples from Johnson to researchers at Goddard is not simple. It began over four years ago when NASA’s Julie Mitchell and her Artemis curation team at Johnson began designing and retrofitting a facility to process the samples. They employed a new technique that could be applied to future lunar missions.
Samples were also sent to researchers at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley, the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC, and the University of Arizona, Tucson
“We started this in early 2018 and there’s been a lot of technical challenges that we’ve had to overcome to get to this point. This was seen as a practice run for preparing a facility for future cold sample processing. By doing this work we’re not just facilitating Artemis exploration, but we’re facilitating future sample return and human exploration into the rest of the solar system,” said Mitchell, in a press statement.
After the facility was ready, Apollo sample curator Ryan Zeigler and his team had to adapt to the unique conditions designed by Mitchell’s team to keep the samples frozen during processing. These included decreased visibility due to frost and challenges manipulating the sample while working with thick gloves in a nitrogen-purged glove box. All of this took place inside a walk-in freezer maintained at minus 20 degrees celsius.
The ability to keep samples frozen will be important for Artemis as astronauts could potentially return ice samples from the Moon’s south pole. Once the frozen samples were processed and subdivided at Johnson by lunar sample processor Jeremy Kent, the samples were express shipped in a cooler with dry ice, opened at Goddard and stored in a secure freezer.
Jamie Elsila, a research scientist at the Astrobiology Analytical Laboratory at Goddard, is focusing on the study of small, volatile organic compounds during her research and analysis of the samples. Previous research has shown that some lunar samples contain amino acids, which are essential to life on earth.
Natalie Curran, principal investigator for the Mid Atlantic Noble Gas Research Lab at Goddard, will focus on understanding the history that the samples experienced during their lifetime on the moon. Unlike on earth, the Moon has a harsh environment that does not have an atmosphere to protect the surface from exposure to space.
Curran’s work will involve the use of noble gases like argon, helium, neon and xenon to measure the duration that the sample has been exposed to cosmic rays, which will help the researchers understand the history of the sample.
Elsila and Curran have both frozen and non-frozen samples in their possession. When the samples were brought to Earth, a portion was stored at room temperature and another portion was frozen so that the two groups can be compared. The researchers will analyze both groups to see if there are differences in organic content.
Understanding any variations that occur due to the different storage methods will help scientists make decisions about how to store samples returned by Artemis astronauts.

The MRT substance abuse program consists of 16 steps. Twelve steps are considered completion, while the last four are optional. Generally, a participant can complete the program within 24-36 group sessions held in accordance with the agency’s implementation needs and requirements. For example, drug courts and probation sites typically hold a weekly group.
Clients complete workbook homework prior to coming to each session. In the group, clients present their homework and the facilitator passes the client to the next step — or has the client re-do the homework based on objective criteria.
All MRT groups are open-ended, meaning that new clients can enter an ongoing group at any time.
The primary workbook for the offender population to address substance abuse is How to Escape Your Prison. It is available as an audio CD, in Spanish Translation, a Spanish audio CD, a juvenile version, and a juvenile audio CD. We offer an Adult Facilitator Guide and Juvenile Facilitator Guide as well as an MRT Journal.
For the non-offender population or in settings where softer language is appropriate, the preferred workbook is Discovering Life & Liberty in the Pursuit of Happiness. A Facilitator’s Guide accompanies this program.
Filling the Inner Void is an adaptation of basic MRT that was initially designed for hospital-based programs and clients in private practice. The book goes into several deeper concepts than the offender or juvenile-based versions cover. The Jungian idea of the “shadow” is presented along with ideas about understanding why many people accumulate so many material objects.
MRT training is required in order to purchase MRT programs/materials.
During the training, each new facilitator receives a copy of the following:

Information or the lack of it decides the outcome of every endeavor. Mesothelioma treatment is also such an avenue where life and death is decided on the availability of proper mesothelioma information. It is observed that many people who had been exposed to asbestos at workplaces decades ago still have no inkling that the silent killer may be creeping on them, unseen, unheard and unheralded. Let us examine the basic information on the disease one by one.
Inhaling asbestos particles at work place or home results in mesothelioma. The fine particles of asbestos reach the mesothelium, which is a protective lining around the cavities of the internal organs, starting off chemical reactions resulting in the membrane cells dividing abnormally. Gradually the infection spreads and with that the symptoms appear. It could even take fifty years for the disease to reach the fatal stage.
Mesothelioma cancer is of three types. The pleural mesothelioma, which is the common one affects the protective lining around cavities of the lung. The peritoneal type destroys the abdominal cavity and the pericardial type infects the lining of the heart. Pericardial mesothelioma is the most fatal one, but, if not treated promptly and properly, the other two also can result in death.
The symptoms are invariably breath shortage and chronic cough. Many other symptoms like fever, pain around the rib cage, night sweat, swelling in the stomach etc also may occur. Persons having the requisite mesothelioma information would never wait till all these symptoms to develop, but would pre-empt the cancer from reaching advanced stages by getting himself diagnosed and treated.
Patients can either opt for traditional therapies or can try out some of the modern therapies being developed and clinically experimented. Conventional treatments are surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. For more serious cancer cases, a combination of two or three of these is often practiced. Proper information on the cancer asylums nearby who have enough knowledge and experience in treating asbestos cancer can be instrumental in saving the life of an affected person. The patient is entitled mesothelioma compensation from erstwhile employers too. In short, worthwhile mesothelioma information acts as the thin line separating life and death.

By Lefteris Yallouros – Athens
The 9th Party Congress of Greece’s ruling conservative New Democracy party completed proceedings on Sunday in Athens. A speech by the party’s parliamentary spokesman, Makis Voridis, however, appears to have angered socialist PASOK, the coalition government’s junior partner, placing strain on the Prime Minister’s relation with PASOK leader Evangelos Venizelos.
Mr. Voridis (photo) stated that PASOK founder Andreas Papandreou is to blame for the destruction of the economy. He also attacked the left and said the party should prepare for battle against leftist ideology.
“The crisis in Greece has a given name and surname. The choices of PASOK (and) Andreas Papandreou (which were taken at a specific time for Greece) are responsible for the destruction of this country” Voridis said.
PASOK party officials lashed out against Makis Voridis calling him a supporter of the 1967 military junta, while reports suggest Venizelos made a phone call to the Prime Minister. Greek newspaper TO VIMA reports government vice-chairman Venizelos told the Premier such statements are divisive and undermine the government’s course. The PM was understanding and did not object to Venizelos’ reasoning.
Former PASOK President George Papandreou (son of Andreas Papandreou) issued a statement on Sunday saying the handling of the economy by the Karamanlis administration was to blame for Greece’s economic woes and that this was accepted by New Democracy party members. Papandreou said Greece needs unity, responsibility and seriousness but instead he sees divisional tactics behind certain comments.
Addressing the Party Congress, Antonis Samaras recognized the contribution of PASOK and the Democratic Left party to the past year’s government work, although he pointed out that they shall always have different courses. “In crucial moments, if the country demands it, a party must serve the country,” Samaras said, making indirect reference to the present coalition government with PASOK. He reiterated that the target of the two-party government now is to complete the four-year tenure. “Greece’s salvation means staying in Europe and this target was achieved by all of us together,” he said.

Alexi Ogando still has some shoulder soreness following a bullpen session earlier this week, so not surprisingly manager Ron Washington admitted that the Rangers don’t expect him back from the disabled list until after the All-Star break.
Jeff Wilson of the Forth Worth Star Telegram reports that Ogando will throw at least one more bullpen session and also throw live batting practice at least once before being cleared for a minor-league rehab assignment.
He’s been on the DL since June 6 and previously missed three weeks with biceps tendinitis, so the Rangers have plenty of reason to be cautious about his recovery timetable.

I finally had to investing top quality date having Gallup’s “County of Western Workplace” survey, had written this past season.

It has emerged that a journalist murdered in the Ashanti Region recently was killed for threatening to end a 6-year relationship with her boyfriend.
Thirty-six-year-old Philip Akumaning, also known as Atta Panin, is said to have become aggrieved when the broadcast journalist threatened to quit the relationship over a misunderstanding.
Police say the suspect who parades himself falsely as a military officer, pulled a double-edged knife and stabbed the journo, Portia Amma Agyeiwaa, several times in the in the chest, thigh and left arm.
Portia was found in a pool of blood in front of her room at the Bekwai suburb of Nyameduasi, on April 15, 2018, and was pronounced dead on arrival at the Bekwai Government Hospital.
Akumaning went into hiding at Teshie in Accra until he was picked up at Patriensa, near Konongo, upon a tip-off over the weekend by the Asante-Bekwai police led by the District Commander, DSP Edward Obeng Boateng.
Ashanti Regional Deputy Commander, DCOP Fred Adu Anim, told journalists the suspect had all this while posing as a military officer.
"The suspect, Philip Akumaning, 36, alias Atta Panin and deceased Portia Agyeiwaa, an ex-employee of Dess FM-Bekwai were lovers. The suspect, all along posed as a military officer," DCOP Anim said.
Details of the love escapades between Akumaning and the late broadcast journalist revealed that the two first lived at Kasoa in the Central Region before they moved to Bekwai after Portia got employment at the local radio station.
According to DCOP Adu Anim, the two were cohabiting in their rented apartment at Nyameduasi, a Bekwai suburb.
"The suspect and the deceased were living at Kasoa in the Central region until 2018 when the deceased had a job at Dess FM- Bekwai in Ashanti. The lovers rented a room at Nyameduasi, a suburb of Bekwai where they were cohabiting. On 15-04-2018 at about 8:30 p.m, a misunderstanding ensued between the suspect and deceased when the latter threatened to end the relationship with the suspect," DCOP Adu Anim explained.
A Bekwai Magistrate Court issued a warrant for the arrest of the suspect after police leads pointed to him. Police say the arrested fake military officer is the prime suspect in the murder of the journalist carried the act alone.
On Sunday, he led police to his Assin Fosu base in the Central Region where the knife he used to murder the journalist was retrieved.
"In his caution statement, he admitted the offence of murder and subsequently led police to Assin Fosu in the Central Region where the knife he used in killing the deceased was retrieved," the police Commander stated.
Angry relatives of the late journalist attempted to pounce on the suspect when they saw him at the regional police headquarters for the first time since the incident.
A brother of the deceased, Kwaku Kwarteng Kobia, told Joy News the family would have wished to end the life of the suspect if instant justice was allowed.

The Adirondack Mountain Club (ADK) strongly supports the decision by the New York State Office of Parks Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) to reject the proposed expansion of the National Fuel Gas (NFG) storage facility in Allegany State Park. ADK also strongly supports OPRHP’s decision to reduce the lease agreement to 15 years and to reduce the size of the underground storage area.
“We strongly support OPRHP’s decision to oppose any change in capacity or manner of operation which would increase the environmental impact of the Limestone gas storage facilities to Allegany State Park,” said Neil Woodworth, Executive Director and Counsel of the Adirondack Mountain Club. “ADK calls upon Governor Cuomo and Commissioner Rose Harvey to ensure that at the end of this lease renewal period, NFG will cease use of the Limestone gas storage facility, vacate the park entirely and remove all facilities and infrastructure from within Allegany State Park.”
The Limestone gas storage facility has operated in Allegany State Park since 1964 under a 50-year lease. The lease rights were acquired by NFG in 1990, and currently contain 14 storage wells. The previous 50-year lease expired in June 2014 when State Parks and NFG entered into a one year lease extension to allow negotiations of a new lease. The original state lease allowed NFG to use 9,000 acres and allows for the creation of a network of roads, pipelines, and well heads to permit the injection of gas below ground, until such time as needed and withdrawn. The existing surface footprint of the NFG gas storage facility is 15 acres for the injection well pads plus 2 roads (total less than 50 acres). During the recent negotiations on the lease renewal, NFG pressed for an increase in gas storage capacity to 5 billion cubic feet and expansion of the well field.
OPRHP recently released the proposed lease agreement. ADK is pleased that the lease renewal agreement rejects the proposed NFG expansion, reduces the underground footprint by 1, 608 acres; and prohibits:
- any expansion of the gas storage facilities
- new well locations or injection point locations
- the construction of new access roads or the expansion of existing access roads
- any cutting or clearing of vegetation or other ground disturbance
- any increase in the amount of gas stored, and
- the construction of anyadditional pipelines or other infrastructure.
Under the proposed lease, NFG agrees that the leased area is fully open to the public for all forms of outdoor recreation. The new lease will terminate on June 30, 2030.
ADK reminds the public that OPRHP will accept public comments until Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Those interested in submitting comments regarding the renewal of the natural gas storage lease may do so by emailing their comments to: email@example.com
You can also make a comment through ADK’s Action Alert.


I have the Fortin Chrt6 Evo All. I have it wired up correctly. It works but my dash starts to go nuts. My fuel light comes on even with a full tank, the dash lighting flickers. My check engine, air bag, tpms, traction control lights all come on. It’s just going haywire. When I unplug the unit it’s fine and everything is normal. Why is this happening?!?! It’s cold where I live and would be nice to use this without the fear of a n airbag going off randomly. Also, my truck is a 2014 Ram 1500 5.7l Hemi with tip start.

NC State’s Gregg Museum Designed for Gold-Rated Sustainability
- Apr 03, 2018
North Carolina State University’s Gregg Museum of Art & Design has earned another LEED certification, to the Gold level, for the 15,850-square-foot new gallery wing designed by Perkins + Will. The award marks the third university building to earn the LEED Gold certification.
The expansion, which consists of the addition of the new gallery next to the existing historic chancellor’s residence, was finalized in August 2017 at its new Raleigh location at 1903 Hillsborough St. The project was initially designed to earn USGBC’s LEED certification only to the Silver level.
The building has a design that reduces energy costs by nearly 28 percent—to ensure energy savings are achieved, the facility’s energy use will be regularly measured. Moreover, the current design uses low-emitting refrigerants in its air conditioning systems, has low mercury lighting systems and features a reflective roof that reduces heat absorption from the sun.
Potable water use is reduced by 22 percent through the installation of efficient plumbing and fixtures. The water economy occurs on the exterior too, thanks to the property’s native and water efficient plants, which will reduce water consumption by 52 percent.
About two-thirds of the building’s materials came from manufacturers within 500 miles of the site, with half of the wood used in the building being Forest Stewardship Council-certified for originating from a responsibly managed forest. Overall, the new development used more than 25 percent recycled content and sustainable building materials, while 63 percent of construction waste was diverted from the landfill through recycling or reuse.
Indoor quality is kept at good levels thanks to the usage of low-emitting interior adhesives, sealants, paint and flooring. Furthermore, the facility is regularly cleaned with environmentally responsible housekeeping practices.
The location of the property encourages common transportation, having a bus stop in close proximity, and is also accessible by pedestrians and cyclists. Moreover, the building features preferred parking spaces for low-emitting and fuel-efficient vehicles, as well as visitors who carpool or vanpool.
“It was an honor to collaborate with NC State in accomplishing a design that champions our shared commitment to the environment and sustainability,” Kenneth Luker, a principal with Perkins + Will, said in prepared remarks. “By achieving LEED Gold certification, the Gregg Museum team created an example for others to replicate.”
The Gregg Museum also landed a 2018 Honor Award for its design from the American Institute of Architects Triangle Chapter, which is the chapter’s highest level or recognition. The current expansion is the 13th university construction or renovation project to earn LEED certification since 2011, when NC State began aiming a minimum LEED Silver certification for all construction and renovation projects larger than 20,000 square feet.

Just found out that I don't need to make that trip so I can start my clones over the weekend as planned.
I have a question though, if anyone can help. Up until now, my humidity has been pretty consistently staying around 60%. Since the flip, it is now up to 70%. I'm thinking I need to do some dehumidification.
The question is around where I need to place the humidifier. Will dehumidifying the air outside my 4X4 grow tent help or do I need to find a dehumidifier I can fit inside the tent?
My guess would be that a humidifier outside the tent should help because of the amount of airflow I have going through the tent but I just want to be sure. I used to have a 70 pint unit in the grow area but that one expired some time ago.
