Humanized design vertical laminar airflow cabinet with beautiful appearance
1. Vertical laminar flow cabinet description:
The principle of a laminar flow cabinet: a clean environment is formed in a specific space where clean air (inlet air) flows in a set direction. Divided by the direction of the airflow, the existing ultra-clean workbench can be divided into vertical, from the inside to the outside or to the side.Considering the quality of operation and the impact on the environment, it is superior in vertical mode.The clean air supplied by the air supply filter plate descends through the operation area at a specific speed, is separated in the middle of the operation area, is sucked away by the front air suction hole and the rear suction window, and the air sucked in the front and rear portions at the lower portion of the operation area is mixed together, and pumped into the rear positive pressure zone by a blower. In the upper part of the machine, 30% of the gas is discharged from the top through the exhaust filter, and approximately 70% of the gas is re-entered into the operating zone through the oxygen supply filter. To supplement the air discharged from the exhaust port, the same volume of air is replenished from the room air through the operating port. This air will never enter the operating area, just forming an air barrier.

Cuomo, de Blasio ring in Amazon deal as critics weigh in
Gov. Andrew Cuomo, flanked by long-time rival Mayor Bill de Blasio, officially announced Tuesday that Amazon will divide its much-anticipated new headquarters between Long Island City in Queens, NY and Crystal City in Arlington, VA.
In exchange for agreeing to locate one of its two new headquarters in Queens, Amazon expects to receive nearly $2 billion in New York State subsidies including a capital grant of as much as $505 million and $1.2 billion in tax credits. The move follows a search that spanned more than a year and prompted local governments across North America to scramble to offer tax breaks and other incentives to win the company’s favor. But the deal is already drawing withering criticism from city Democrats and others who say they were not consulted on the deal — criticism that could put Cuomo and de Blasio at odds with leaders of their own party in the Council and state Senate which, come January, will be controlled by Democrats.
“This is the largest economic development initiative that has ever been done by the city or the state or the city and the state, together,” Cuomo said during a news conference from his Midtown office.
The governor laid out the top-line numbers for the deal, which began to leak last week. The total city and state revenue involved will be $27.5 billion, Cuomo said, adding the state is hoping for a 9 to 1 return on investment.Amazon is expected to bring in 25,000 jobs over the course of some 15 years.
“That is the highest rate of return for an economic incentive program that the state has ever offered,” Cuomo said, estimating the total economic impact of the deal at $186 billion.
But even as the mayor and governor congratulated each other, Council members and state legislators said the deal was an end run around the city’s land use process and represented an unfair giveaway to a corporate giant.
“They didn’t talk to anyone,” said Council Member Jimmy Van Bramer, who represents the area where the headquarters will be located. “This was, you know not exactly three men in a room — because I don’t know if Jeff Bezos, the governor and the mayor were ever in the same room making this deal — but it essentially was the three of them making this agreement to the exclusion of everyone.”
Cuomo, however, praised the collaboration between his own team and the de Blasio administration in a rare moment of comity between the two Democrats.
“They did a magnificent job,” Cuomo said of the mayor’s team, including Deputy Mayor Alicia Glen and James Patchett, head of the New York City Economic Development Corporation, adding “I think the credit goes to the mayor of the city of New York.”
De Blasio returned the compliment.
“I know for you there’s a special meaning in this, as a proud son of Queens,” the mayor said. “It’s a great day for New York City, it’s an extraordinary day for Queens.”
In a blog post published Tuesday ahead of the announcement, the retail behemoth said the incentives would be subject to performance-based metrics: “Amazon will receive these incentives over the next decade based on the incremental jobs it creates each year and as it reaches building occupancy targets. The company will separately apply for as-of-right incentives including New York City’s Industrial & Commercial Abatement Program (ICAP) and New York City’s Relocation and Employment Assistance Program (REAP).” The latter are estimated to be worth as much as $1 billion.
Amazon said, in addition to the 25,000 jobs, it will bring $2.5 billion in investment and “incremental” tax revenue of $10 billion over 20 years time.
Away from the glad-handing in Midtown, city and state leaders expressed skepticism and outright disdain for the deal and the way it was negotiated.
“This has just been a busted deal and a busted process,” Van Bramer said. “It’s not something I can accept or support.”
State Sen. Michael Gianaris, whose district encompasses Amazon’s future headquarters in Queens, was invited to attend the press conference Tuesday at which this deal will be formally announced but he declined, he told POLITICO.
"$3 billion in incentives for 25,000 jobs amounts to $120,000 in public funding per job,” he said. “That’s outrageous by any measure.”
Assemblyman Ron Kim reportedly plansto introduce a bill to cut the state’s economic development subsidies.
State Sen. Cathy Young (R-Olean) decried the investment the state is making as a plant in Erie County announced it would shut down.
“Today we received the devastating news that Erie County manufacturer New Era Cap will close its Derby plant in March, putting over 200 workers out on the street,” she said in a statement. “Contrast this with today’s news from the other side of the state, that Long Island City in Queens will become the site of one of Amazon’s highly publicized ‘HQ2' operations. ... Overburdened New York taxpayers, particularly those in upstate who are seeing their communities and families decimated by job losses and lack of opportunity, have every right to be outraged by this massive giveaway.”
And despite de Blasio’s glowing rhetoric Tuesday, the deal represents a departure for the mayor who only a year ago expressed his own distaste for Amazon and the notion of subsidies to a corporate giant.
“Something different is happening now that is very destructive to communities,” he said last year. “A lot of people are turning to Amazon and other online options.”
The mayor said then he had never used the online service.

Creamy Mashed Potatoes & From-Scratch Gravy ~ Thanksgiving Cooking Class
Time & Location
About the Event
Two lessons in one! We'll be making the creamiest dreamiest mashed potatoes and a gravy so good you may cry happy tears..all in 90 minutes!
Good mashed potatoes are an art. Sure they only contain a small handful of ingredients. But it's the treatment of those ingredients and the process behind the magical taters that make this side dish (...or main dish. I won't judge.) so very good.
And don't forget the gravy! THE GRAVY. I learned how to make gravy in high school. It was my job every Thanksgiving at my boyfriend's family's house. And his grandma was a pro. A legit gravy superstar. And even though he and I didn't last, those gravy lessons did. :)
We're going to take all your turkey drippings and turn them into pure magic. (By the way, we're going to practice prepping and roasting the perfect on a special video that I'll have out soon. We'll be using a chicken for that, but the same exact rules apply.) Gravy is my single most favorite part of Thanksgiving. To me, gravy is a food group. It covers my entire plate like warm and yummy blanket. And I love it soooo much.
And I'm going to show you all how to create gravy magic. Because mashed potatoes need gravy. Right?
So ignore that stuff in a jar and let's get cooking! Come and join me as we make these two timeless Thanksgiving classics and learn lots of culinary techniques along the way!
And, as always, this class makes use of some items from your perfect pantry ingredients!
Our recipes are all pantry-centered because we believe that having certain essential ingredients on hand is key to successful home cooking.

We report Fano resonances in a multimode square glass micropillar resonator; the resonances were obtained by using angle-resolved prism coupling. Our experiments reveal characteristically asymmetric line shapes of high-Q resonances and of detuned low-Q resonances in multimode reflection spectra. The asymmetric resonance line shapes evolve for an approximately π phase within a 0.5° range of reflection angles. We model our observed asymmetric multimode resonances by the far-field interference between a light wave that is evanescently coupled with a high-Q mode orbit and a coherent light wave that is refractively coupled with a detuned low-Q mode orbit.

A historic win for human rights – AIPP congratulates its first Secretary General, Luingam Luithui, upon his victory for the restoration of his fundamental right to citizenship after 22-year of ordeal
A historic win for human rights
AIPP congratulates its first Secretary General, Luingam Luithui, upon his victory for the restoration of his fundamental right to citizenship after 22-year of ordeal
29 August 2017
Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact (AIPP) marks the Delhi High Court order to affirm the fundamental citizenship right of Luingam Luithui, a prominent Naga human rights advocate, as a historic victory for human rights in India. Along with Luithui, the Court on 24 August has finally ordered the restoration of Indian citizenship of his wife, Peingamla.
The Court has ruled that it is due to the unconstitutional acts of the Government of India (GOI) that Luingam Luithui and his wife were forced to take Canadian citizenship; and that they remained Indian citizens throughout this period, as they never gave up their citizenship voluntarily. A two-member Bench comprising Acting Chief Justice of Delhi High Court Justice Geeta Mittal and Justice Shankar pronounced the order.
Twenty-two years ago, India impounded Luithui’s passport when he was traveling abroad. The government also refused to issue any travel document to his wife when she lost her passport abroad. It is a rare case where the GOI had abused the constitution of a democratic polity to forcibly exile and take away the citizenship right of its citizens.
The GOI resorted to arbitrary act of political prosecution, with complete disregard for rule of law, upon them because of Luithui’s prominence in human rights advocacy and activism. He, along with his Naga friends, had conceived of an organized human rights movement back home after his active involvement in and exposure to anti-Emergency activism with other activists in mainland India. They thus formed the Naga Peoples Movement for Human Rights (NPMHR) in 1978, the first human rights organisation in northeast India.
Luithui played a crucial role in addressing human rights issues and taking cases of army atrocities to the courts from Naga areas where the Indian Army reigned supreme over civilian authorities because of a raging armed resistance movement. Cases include NPMHR vs. Union of India challenging the constitutionality of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act that led to the Supreme Court enunciating clear guidelines for the Army to adhere to while carrying out operations in disturbed areas. In another instance, in 1987, when Indian security forces sealed off Naga villages in the Oinam area of Manipur and razed 31 villages to the ground in what was called ‘Operation Bluebird’, he and his colleagues documented the atrocities committed and took the Army to the Guwahati High Court.
Luithui was equally active in organising regional and international indigenous peoples’ movements, and in the standards-setting regarding indigenous peoples’ rights in the UN. He helped set up the AIPP and became its first Secretary General and was also instrumental in the formation of the International Alliance of the Indigenous and Tribal Peoples of the Tropical Forests.
Meanwhile, several members of his family were threatened, harassed and tortured. His brother died from the injuries due to torture and uncle died in a bomb blast by the Indian paramilitary force.
Nonetheless, as a human rights activist, Luithui did everything within his means with Lt. Gen. KM Seth to facilitate the peace process, between GOI and the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-IM), which led to the formal ceasefire declaration in 1997.
Luithui’s notable contribution to the human rights work include making the “sovereign” act of the Army judicable for the first time in India with the awarding of compensation for Army excesses in the case of Sebastian Hongray vs. Union of India. Further, through AIPP and otherwise, he played a prominent role in drawing the attention of the international community and governments on the state of non-recognition of the existence of indigenous peoples in Asia.
Having been targeted by the GOI, attempts of getting Indian passports and returning home failed. The coupled survived in Canada doing hard manual jobs in Ottawa and in the oil fields of Canada. Nevertheless, they continued to fight for their justice and for the sake of human rights. Their determination and persistency finally paid off when the Court served them justice after 22 years of ordeal.
“The Hon’ble Court has clearly affirmed that their case is an abuse of fundamental human rights and due process, which must be prevented to protect its citizens as well as to protect and promote the dignity and integrity of the judicial system,” AIPP’s Chairperson, Kittisak Rattanakrajangsri, said. “The Hon’ble Court has established that there can be no such exercise of sovereign power against the State’s own citizens, which is a victory for human rights.”

Spotted: As public transportation systems around the world are disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, people are using bikes, e-bikes and scooters to get to work. For those living in small spaces, however, a lack of storage can be a big barrier to scooter and bike ownership. Now, a collaborative project between the University of Tokyo, research organisation Mercari R4D and designer Hisato Ogata, may have a solution.
The Japanese team has developed a prototype for an inflatable scooter that fits in a backpack. The Poimo (Portable and Inflatable Mobility) scooter inflates in just over a minute using a pump. Users then attach the handles, four wheels, battery, wireless controller and motor, and off they go.
The entire scooter weighs around 5.5 kg and fits in a small backpack. According to the designers, the soft body can protect pedestrians and riders in the event of an accident. The inflatable scooter can also be easily customised, making it adaptable for use by those with mobility issues. The researchers have also experimented with other designs, such as mobility sofas, for “relaxing at waterfront resorts”.
The designers hope the scooter could eventually be used to reduce car trips, pointing out that, “About 60 per cent of car trips in Japan are short distances, which is not very good in terms of congestion and greenhouse gases. We believe that new mobility like Poimo is needed to replace this with short-range-only personal mobility.”
The Poimo is not the only innovative transportation option we have seen here at Springwise. Recently, we have seen a growth in the desire for more sustainable transport in innovations such as an aeroplane powered by friction, and an ultra-slim autonomous self-driving truck. The future of transport may look very different to that which we know.


In June, Nuclear Development LLC tapped SNC-Lavalin to complete work on at least one nuclear unit at the partially completed Bellefonte nuclear plant in Alabama. Nuclear Development has a contract to purchase the reactor from the Tennessee Valley Authority for $111 million after TVA determined it no longer needed the plant, which has two unfinished 1,256-MW reactors. TVA stopped construction on the plant in 1988, when work on the Babcock and Wilcox pressurized water reactor was about 90% complete. Since then, some of the reactor’s components have been removed, leaving the unit at closer to 55% complete. Company owner Franklin Haney expects it will cost about $13 billion to finish construction of the PWR unit and plans to ask for a federal loan guarantee. SNC-Lavalin’s engineering work will include design changes to ensure systems and components meet all regulatory requirements. It will also involve replacing missing, obsolete and degraded equipment, and ensuring the plant will operate reliably and at a high capacity factor, according to an SNC-Lavalin spokeswoman.

Iran has reportedly been engaged in secret talks with multiple Iranian Kurdish militant groups in Norway. These meetings—which started in May, June, and with a third scheduled last month—are the first time the Iranian government has met with multiple Kurdish groups since the 1979 revolution.
Iran’s engagement with these armed Kurdish actors—two wings of the Komala party of Iranian Kurdistan and two rival factions of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP)—currently highlights its attempt to hedge against US President Donald Trump’s “maximum pressure” campaign, which de facto includes imposing sanctions and fomenting unrest domestically, in an attempt to change what it perceives as Iranian malign behavior.
Tehran likely aims to dissuade the Kurdish Iranian insurgents from increasing their onslaught in Iran or halting it through peace agreements. Sensing the immense geopolitical challenges Iran is facing, these Kurdish groups—which seek autonomy through armed struggle—might be testing the waters amid mounting regional pressure on Tehran.
Despite plans to meet, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched war games in the province of Western Azerbaijan aimed at countering “terrorist” groups, according to Tasnim News Agency. This either signifies Iran’s keenness on forcing Kurdish groups to compromise by initiating offenses or countering attacks launched by the latter or groups not interested in engagement. In all cases, Tehran is unwilling to show that it would be negotiating on the premises of geopolitical weakness.
Iran suspects that Kurdish insurgent groups are receiving support from Saudi Arabia and the United States. Thus, Tehran wants to ensure that it does not become outflanked and distracted in a three-theater war in the Persian Gulf, its Kurdish territories, and in Sistan and Baluchistan province in the south east of the country.
Yet, the aims of Iran’s strategy to de-escalate with Iranian Kurdish insurgents likely goes beyond tackling direct security threats, and includes upholding economic goals at home and in neighboring Iraq amid harsh economic US sanctions that Tehran is facing.
In provinces inhabited by ethnic Kurds—Kurdistan, Kermanshah, Western Azerbaijan, and Ilam—the Iranian government has recently started pursuing softer policies towards the historically marginalized Iranian Kurdish population. This, for example, was reflected by the recent return of an exiled Kurdish singer to his hometown Sanandaj after 35 years. Similarly, this was followed by holding a first annual Kurdish fashion festival.
If sustainable easing of security restriction in Kurdish areas in Iran is undertaken, this would help the government deprive Iranian Kurdish insurgents operating abroad from the needed public support base in Iran.
The likely prospects of further economic impoverishment of Iran’s Kurdish population, fueled by US sanctions, incentivizes Tehran to remove some restrictions in order not to push the inhabitants of the Kurdish areas to sympathize with the insurgents and revolt when circumstances are suitable.
In the wave of protests that Iran saw in December 2017 and January 2018, ethnic Kurds in urban centers were one of the groups that participated. This was in part because unemployment has been historically above the national average in provinces inhabited by ethnic Kurds in Iran, except for Ilam which remained below the national average at least since President Hassan Rouhani took office in 2013 (see figure below).
Source: Iran’s Statistical Center
Tehran’s ability to ease security and economic pressures in its Kurdish inhabited provinces on one hand, and de-escalating with Iranian Kurdish insurgents taking refuge in the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) in Iraq on the other hand, are helpful in its efforts to increase Iran’s economic exchanges with the KRG. Both efforts lead to the halting or minimization of conflict in the KRG, which often result in civilian casualties. This may also help the Iranian government send positive signals to the Kurdish population in Iraq for appeasement, a way to increase Iraqi Kurdish receptiveness towards Iranian exports to the autonomous region. Integrating with the KRG economically is one of the means of realizing Iran’s envisaged land bridge to the Middle East.
During 2017, President Rouhani suggested that a railway project which planned to connect Hamedan with the Kurdish inhabited city of Sanandaj could be extended to Iraq—probably through the KRG—and then to Syria. In August 2018, during a visit by Vice President and Head of Plan and Budget Organization Mohammad Baqir Nobakht, the provincial governor of Kurdistan had expressed hope that the railway connection project would be completed by the beginning of 2021.
Parallelly, Tehran has been attempting to grow its airport connections in the north west of the country with those of the KRG. In April, an Iranian official stated that flights from the province of Western Azerbaijan to the KRG’s Erbil would start in the near future. In July, the provincial governor expressed interest in resuming flights between Sanandaj and the KRG’s Sulaymaniyah. Because of the KRG’s independence referendum held in 2017, Iran had halted flights based on a request from the central government in Baghdad.
In line with the Iranian government’s broad strategy of encouraging tourism in Iran to hedge against US sanctions, Tehran has been targeting Iraq’s Kurds to visit Iran’s provinces—including its north western provinces—for tourism. For the Iranian government, a tourism boost in Kurdish inhabited areas can alleviate the economic hardship of these areas by decreasing chronic high unemployment. But also, for Tehran, increasing tourism furthers the country’s soft power, an element Iran is striving to project in its neighborhood.
While the Iranian government has been long pursuing policies and strategies encouraging exports to the KRG, Tehran is currently doubling down on these to encourage trade with the autonomous region. One-third of Iran’s non-oil exportsto Iraq are destined for the KRG annually. However, Iranian trade with the Kurdish Regional Government might be standing on shaky ground as US sanctions continue to pressure Iran’s economy and the Trump administration lobbies the KRG against expanded trade with Iran. This is highlighted in Sulaymaniyah by a member of the governorate’s Chamber of Commerce who stated in July that Iranian products which once acquired 60 percent of the city’s market two years ago, have now dropped down to 40 percent. Still, Iran has attempted to counter these sanctions by holding exhibitions, easing visas, eases bureaucracy, among other strategies.
Facing Washington’s “maximum pressure” campaign, Tehran is willing, at least on tactical grounds, to pre-empt and break regional isolation—partially driven by the US—especially in economically critical Iraq and KRG. While Tehran is aware of the importance of cementing its soft power with the Kurdish Regional Government by pursuing a transnational approach that does not compartmentalize Kurds in Iran and Iraq, the legacy of decades-long security strategies to counter perceived threats might overshadow such attempts.

Letter: Giving voice to those who had been silent
Giving voice to those who had been silent
To the editor:
Let us walk Thursday with megaphones funneling the invisible cries and muffles of the silenced — women who remain in precariously difficult to identify psychologically violent relations. And the invisible victims — children who witness the abuse. ["Walk a Mile in Her Shoes," benefiting the Elizabeth Freeman Center, will be held during Third Thursday tomorrow in Pittsfield.]
Studies confirm that a disproportionate number of children witnessing abuse are also directly maltreated. Research finally focuses on child maltreatment (neglect, emotional, physical) in conjunction with spousal violence. Childhood exposure to maltreatment perpetuates itself, predicting adult revictimization. The terror, the self-blame, the unpredictability, and the betrayal of childhood trauma are key for clinicians deconstructing adult reenactment and revictimization.
Those who seek shelter, or come forward, represent a small subset of domestic violence survivors, predominantly leaving their batterers because of severe physical abuse. Early research targeted physical violence alone in an effort to help women through legal channels.
Recent research shows the devastating impact of more insidious, escalating, chronic psychological abuse, a multi-factored type of violence that can be classified along a continuum of behaviors (dominance, restriction, isolation, intimidation, and denigration). Psychological abuse is known to escalate into, and coincide with, physical assault.
Psychological abuse emerged as critical to self-esteem deficits, depression and tendency to internalize blame, a dynamic associated with repeated victimization and trauma in our research. In our study of women and children in shelters, enduring and trenchant psychological forms of violence took precedence beyond physical abuse on PTSD symptoms.
Yes we are out there walking and debunking stereotypes, a far cry from early focus on the individual traits of battered women. We are using social-learning paradigms and talking about educating our kids to break inter-generational cycles of violence. We are advocating for structural interventions to break cultural and gender constraints on leave-taking with child witnesses towards safety. But where are these survivors and their young? Isolated on the ledge of a continuum of dominance, of mind control?
Bring their stories forth on the 15th. Hear the perilous sounds of self-silencing.

Are you ready to get crafty in the name of beauty? Chanel's F/W 2012 show left us swooning over the idea of bejeweled brows, so much so that we dug out our glue gun, needle, and thread, and came up with a pair of custom sparkly strips perfect for parties come September!
All it takes is a handful of your favorite beads and sequins and a little time to turn out a pair of these wild and trendy must-haves, but it takes a lot of confidence to sport them. Are you up for the challenge? Let's get crafting!
Measure your brows with a ruler to find the ideal size for your strips. Generally they will be between 1/4" to 3/8" wide and around 2" long. Mark out two rectangles on the felt in the corresponding measurements using your chalk and a ruler. Cut the rectangles out with your scissors. Hold them over your brows to check the size.
Heat up your hot glue gun. Dump out your sequins into separate piles on your crafting surface. Use your tweezers to pick up a black sequin. Tap it against the hot glue on the tip of the gun, then transfer it to the edge of your felt strip. Repeat with a colored sequin, and continue overlapping the previously placed sequin ever so slightly. Work from one end of the felt strip to the other.
Once both your felt strips are covered, turn off your glue gun. Using your tweezers, pull away any and all remaining glue threads from the surface of the sequins until they appear clean.
Tie a knot at one end of your thread. Push the needle through your brow strip from back to front near one end. Thread a bead through the needle and push the needle through the strip to the back again, next to the hole you just made. Pull your thread until the bead sits taut. Push the needle through to the front again about 1/4" away from the last stitch, and repeat with another bead. Continue with six assorted beads until you reach the edge. Push the needle through to the back and tie a knot. Repeat on the second brow strip using the remaining six beads.
Attach the strips to your brows using a cosmetic adhesive such as spirit gum or liquid latex, available at specialty makeup stores or costume shops and from special effects makeup companies such as Ben Nye.
How will you rock your bejeweled brows? With a bare face à la Chanel? Or with an equally bold makeup look to match? Either way, you'll feel fierce sporting one of the most daring trends of the season, and satisfied knowing you did it yourself!

“Even before this, Hadi had already given his statement to Bukit Aman including surrendering the mobile phone of the administrator of his official Facebook account to the police and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to aid with investigations.
“In this matter, Hadi puts his full trust into the professionalism of the police and the MCMC in conducting their duties and the investigation,” he said.

BALTIMORE (WJZ/CNN) — Under a federal court order, the federal government announced Saturday night that it has resumed accepting renewal requests for the DACA program.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, a division of the Department of Homeland Security, posted on its website that the renewal process for grants of deferred action under the Deferred Actions for Childhood Arrivals will resume immediately. The administration said in September that it was concluding the program.
The USCIS released the following statement:
“Due to a federal court order, USCIS has resumed accepting requests to renew a grant of deferred action under DACA. Until further notice, and unless otherwise provided in this guidance, the DACA policy will be operated on the terms in place before it was rescinded on Sept. 5, 2017.”
On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge William Alsup issued a preliminary injunction blocking President Donald Trump‘s decision to end the Obama-era initiative. The program granted temporary protection from deportation to hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children, often referred to as “dreamers.”
The agency said it won’t be processing applications for those who have never before received DACA protections and no new applications will be accepted.
Trump had criticized the judicial process, noting that the ruling could still be overturned. He tweeted Friday that the move was a “big step backwards.”
The president reiterated that he wants a merit-based immigration system.

The minutes of the meetings held on 10th and 24th November 1995 were approved.
Mr Skelsey began his talk with a personal view of tramways he had visited during the 1950s and 1960s. During the early days, there were no tram magazines, and so visits usually had to be planned around information supplied by well-meaning relatives. This could lead to expensive mistakes, such as when a tram turned out to be a trolleybus, which was of course an entirely different thing.
In 1945, tramways were already on the decline, and by 1950 only 27 undertakings remained. Most of these had only survived as a result of petrol shortages, but there were eight hopeful systems: Sunderland, Dundee, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Sheffield, Blackpool, Leeds and Glasgow. In these cities maintenance, rebuilding and even extensions continued through the 1950s, yet only Blackpool's trams survived. Both Leeds and Glasgow had major development plans which were frustrated by economic and other external factors. The real reason for the wholesale tramway closures seems to have been financial. Operators had never been required to depreciate their assets, and funds had been transferred to other budgets. In an era of no subsidies, buses were cheaper.
As the picture in Britain becomes gloomier, abroad beckoned, and Mr Skelsey described some of the European and Australian tramways which he had visited. In these locations, the American PCC tramcar and the use of articulation had both proved popular.
Mr Skelsey suggested that the 250 or so surviving tramways fall into three categories. The first is the eclectic: the "heritage trolley", or "variations on a theme park", such as the new Birkenhead tramway.
The second is the empirical: the "ideal". Twenty years ago, West Germany led the way, with developments that turned their systems into something rather different from the orthodox English approaches. Post-war reconstruction and a booming economy led to systems more akin to today's metros than their street tramway antecedents, with extensive segregation and tunnelling.
The third category is the pragmatic: making the best of what is already available. Segregation was desirable, but not necessary, as priority for tramcars at traffic lights became widely used. The key requirements are flexibility, affordability and achievability, but a managerial change was also needed, as it had to be proved that light rail was worthwhile.
The tramway revival began in the 1970s, when three North American cities borrowed basic European light rail technology to revive their undertakings. In Britain, the Tyne and Wear Metro led the way. Ironically, the current schemes for Leeds and Glasgow eschew the grand style of the earlier plans of those cities in favour of cheap street-level running in the city centres. Fully underground sections are less favoured than they once were, due to the expense of tunnelling and the reduction in accessibility to the system. Perhaps the most characteristic element of modern tramway schemes is the conversion of heavy rail lines to tramways.
Mr Skelsey answered several questions, after which the Junior Treasurer gave a vote of thanks.
The forthcoming pub visit was announced. The next speaker meeting would be the Presidential Distress, and Members were reminded of the closing dates for Photo Competition entries and Annual Dinner tickets.

Today's second project: The "I Spy" Jar.
For several years, a couple of "Find It" games have been showing up at our annual church retreat. Filled with colorful plastic "sand," these approx. 12 inch tubes also contain about two dozen small plastic objects which may be revealed by carefully shaking and rolling the container. The object is to check off each hidden object from the list - including the always elusive penny. They're surprisingly diverting for adults and kids alike. They're also about $25 from the manufacturer!
My version is essentially free.
1. Sturdy clear plastic container with lid (I used a small Parmesan cheese container)
2. A handful of small toys, buttons, beads, coins, marbles, and other found objects of your choice
3. Enough rice to fill the container to within about 3/4 of an inch of the top.
4. Heavy tape (duct or electrical) to seal lid, or glue if you want to make it really permanent.
5. (Optional) Laminated checklist of all hidden objects.
Instructions (like you need 'em!)
Combine rice and found objects in jar. Seal lid with heavy tape or glue.
If desired, create a checklist of objects to be found and challenge your kid (husband?!) to complete it during a long car trip. If your child is a pre-reader, consider photographing each object and making a pictorial checklist.
(I know, it could be Much prettier. The duct tape is quite unattractive. If you need it to look nice and Don't need it to stand up to small children, you could glue a piece of pretty scrapbook paper around the taped edge, but be sure not to obscure too much of the tube or you rather defeat the purpose!)
My two year old actually played with this thing for 15 minutes tonight despite having entered the "manic" phase of tiredness.
A teacher friend of mine thought they may also be useful for some of her older students who just can't sit still. Or, depending on how much of a sense of humor your guests have, consider placing one in the bathroom during a party in lieu of those dated magazines! :)
I made several of these as Christmas gifts for kids in our lives, and here's what I did to make them prettier
1. I dyed the rice so it wasn't simply boring white. Since these were Christmas gifts, I went with red (OK, pink) and green, but the sky's the limit.
Here's a blog explaining how to use water colors to dye rice: http://homemadeserenity.blogspot.com/2011/01/why-dont-you-make-rainbow-rice.html
I went a different route and used food color and vinegar - essentially the same method as dying easter eggs. Mix water and vinegar about 50/50, color with food coloring, and add only liquid enough to barely wet the rice you are dying. Use a jar or a zip-lock, and mix it around well, then let it sit for several minutes to get darker.
My method yielded far paler results than the watercolor option above, though.
The important part is to let it dry REALLY well (I spread it on a cookie sheet and put it in a warm oven for a while) before sealing it in the I-Spy jar. We don't want mold!
2. I glued, rather than duct-taped, the lids.
Honestly, this is a dicier proposition than it seems it ought to be. I had very bad luck when trying to hot-glue a metal lid to a glass jar for another project (the glue was too thick, interfered with the threading, and really didn't stick to such non-porous surfaces very well), so this time I didn't even attempt it. I used Elmer's and let it dry over night. It Seemed to be holding, but I think a really determined child could get it off. Super glue would probably be your best bet.
3. Before filling the jars, I photographed the group of items that would be included. I printed it at about 3x4 inches, laminated it, hole-punched it, and tied it to the jar with a stretchy cord. The plan is for the kids to use the card as a challenge, and to stretch out the game a little - "can you find the red bird? No, that's the blue one: keep looking!" Theoretically dry-erase markers or crayons could be used to mark off each item as it is located. You could have your kids race, use it as a "time out" timer ("You must find 10 items before you can get up from that chair!"), etc, etc.
Of course, if your target audience is able to read, you could simply make a text list of the items. That's how the commercial jars are labeled.

Hollywood icon James Garner once said, “You can never have too many friends.” I apply that same logic to kitchen gadgets, which have a lot in common with friends: They’re there when you need them, ready to spice up your life or add a little sweetness to your day.
If you’ve just made a new friend in the form of an air fryer, you’re in good company. This social butterfly is very popular right now, and while the delicious possibilities for this gadget are endless, here are a few great places to start.

Some of Our Favorite Air-Fryer Recipes
Here are a few of the best recipes to break in that shiny new toy, as recommended by ATK’s resident air-fryer expert, Sam Block.
- Chicken nuggets: “I'd have to start with ATK’s chicken nuggets: You brine the chicken, and we've come up with a hack where we whisk the flour and egg together, so it's just a two-batter process as opposed to three,” Sam said. “What makes it even better is that they freeze really well—I always have them on hand for my 3-year-old nephew (but mostly for me).”
- Well-done cheeseburgers: “In this ATK cheeseburger recipe, we purposely cook to medium-well or well-done—the panade keeps them supermoist and juicy and delish,” Sam said. The best thing about this dish is that you don’t have to deal with the splattering oil or needing to hover over the grill; your new kitchen gadget does all the work for you.
- Baked potatoes: Who doesn’t love a baked potato? In your brand-new air fryer, these spuds will be ultracrispy, a whole lot easier, and significantly quicker, as you won’t need to preheat your oven.
Tips for Using Your Air Fryer
Instant Vortex Plus 6-Quart Air FryerOur winning air fryer is large enough to fit four chicken cutlets or two 15-ounce bags of frozen french fries, cooking everything to crispy, golden perfection. Intuitive digital controls (including a simple knob to set the time and temperature) are brightly lit and easy to operate.
- Prevent food from sticking to your air fryer. Best practice for using your air fryer is to always grease the fryer basket before use, even if the food you’re frying doesn’t need added oil; this will just help food lift easily off the basket. All you need to do is dab or spray some oil on the bottom grates and you’ll be good to go. Another option is to use a foil sling. Learn how in this article about preventing food from sticking to your air fryer.
- Don’t overcrowd the frying basket. Just like in your average skillet, you don’t want your food to be crowded when you’re trying to make it crisp up—not enough space will simply make it soggy and won’t leave it with that ever-so-tantalizing golden-brown hue. Try cooking your food in batches if needed.
- Shake the basket while cooking. To ensure perfectly even cooking when air-frying smaller bits of food such as fries or wings, open up the basket and give it a little shake. When you open the fryer element, the cooking process will pause, but as soon as you click it back in it will start up again, so don’t worry about needing to fiddle with any settings after a quick shake.

Efforts by the Broadband Communications Chamber to ensure fairness and conformity in the country’s broadband industry through series of ongoing engagements with stakeholders has led to the unraveling of another staggering revelation which goes a long way to confirm the deliberate double standards of industry regulator the National Communications Authority (NCA) This came up following a meeting between the country’s legislative body in charge of Communications and the Broadband Communications Chamber in Accra recently. Biztechafrica learnt that during the meeting it emerged that the NCA has given approval to another government body which is also under the supervision of the Ministry of Communications, the National Information Technology Agency (NITA) to operate 4G services in the country.
Members of the executive board representing the BBCC at the meeting expressed surprise at not having any knowledge whatsoever about NITA’s involvement in the operation of 4G service, when asked by the parliamentary select committee on Communications whether they are aware of the fact that NITA has partnered with a private entity to commercialize some of its fibre infrastructure and that the entity had already deployed Wi-Fi hotspot and was providing 4G services to the Accra Technical University. According to the Broadband Chamber, the NCA’s move clearly points to the fact that it does not want to provide an even playing field in dissemination of industry data and information. They mentioned Netherlands based Afrimax and its acquisition of Busy Internet to operate 4G services in Ghana as an example where the industry regulator NCA chose not to inform the public about the approval of that deal which then later became difficult for them to address the disparity among 4G players.
When the Select Committee on Communication asked how Busy Internet became a license 4G operator since they seemed to have acquired their 4G licence “through the backdoor” especially as they paid less for their 4G license than other 4G providers, the BBCC executives explained that there are two ways to acquire and access spectrum, and noted that there are the authorizations which are short term permits and the long-term licenses e.g.
10-15 years. “Busy has an authorization and are traditionally operating as an ISP. Authorizations are specific to a region and are of short duration and lower costs as compared to long-term licenses that are nationwide and more costly,” the Chamber said.
The BBCC then reiterated its commitment in ensuring uniformity for all 4G players in the sector and as a matter of urgency we are putting together plans on ways to ensure consistency in the sector which they hope to share with the Regulator soon.

Shadow of the Colossus originally launched on 2005 on the PlayStation 2 – can you believe it? – but a new version is on the way. Here’s what you need to know about the Shadow of the Colossus remake. See also: Best upcoming games 2017.

Shadow of the Colossus remake release date: 2018 (TBC)
How much will Shadow of the Colossus remake cost?
Will Shadow of the Colossus remake launch on PS4 and PC?
The remake of the classic game was announced during Sony’s press conference at the huge gaming convention and since it was originally a PlayStation game, it’s no surprise that Shadow of the Colossus remake will launch on PS4.
There are a lot of gamers out there wondering if it will arrive on PC, too, but sadly that’s not the case. Check out out list of the best PC games, though. Read about the interesting co-op only A Way Out.
Shadow of the Colossus remake gameplay and details
Sony hasn’t said much about the upcoming game but here’s what we know so far.
Rather than a sequel, this is a remastered version so the main difference is that the graphics have been updated to modern standards. The above trailer gives you a good idea of how far things have come since 2005 and the PS2 and the remake has an overhauled look and feel. Also read about Skull and Bones.
As you’d expect from remastered version, the elements of the original game are very much intact. So that includes colossi beasts, Wander and Argo the horse. Shadow of the Colossus is an exploration game like Zelda but there are no dungeons or even characters to engage with.
There was an updated version of the game released on PS3 in 2011 but this will be a much bigger renovation. The Shadow of the Colossus remake is being developed by Japan Studio and Bluepoint Games, which worked on Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection. The game was directed by Fumito Ueda, the developer behind The Last Guardian.
Shadow of the Colossus trailers
Below, you’ll find the gameplay trailer from Tokyo Game Show 2017.
As a side note, it was released in Japan as ‘Wander and the Colossus’.

Markus W started his career as a DJ in 1995 in Germany. After some experimenting with different types of music he eventually specialised in playing house music and commercial dance.
During his career he has played in many gay clubs in Germany such as New York Club, Soul City, Old Mrs Henderson and Carmen’s Lounge, all in Munich and Kerosin Parties in Augsburg. He has contributed to major events such as CSD Munich (Gay Pride) and Inxomnia Party Munich, always delivering a mix of well known house classics mixed with brand new club records.
Markus’ music has developed over the years to a more progressive main room club style of house. But he is not afraid of vocals and known for his uplifting and upfront style. He is flexible in his sets and can be booked for commercial dance sets as well as for gay circuit sets. Each of his sets is customised for the occasion, often mixed with his own mashup mixes or remixes. He has played many venues in London including Barcode - Vauxhall (Energy Bears), The White Swan - Limehouse, Brodie’s Bar- Canary Wharf and Borough Bar – London Bridge. He currently has regular bookings at NY Club, Munich, Union - Vauxhall (Nudity) and The Royal Vauxhall Tavern (S.L.A.G.S. Chill Out).
Markus is part of the remix projects The Vauxhall Boys (for commercial dance music) and SE11 (the more progressive side of club music) and produces mashups and bootlegs supported by other DJ’s all over the world and online via gay radio stations (e.g. Jemm One, Sauce FM).
He is based in Vauxhall, London, UK.


(Sixty) of South Carolina’s highway deaths a year ago can be directly attributed to distracted driving. AAA Carolinas believes the number is actually a lot higher as many drivers do not readily admit to distracted driving, such as texting, at the time of the crash.…
Contrary to what some drivers may think, hands-free, handheld and in-vehicle technologies are not distraction-free, even if a driver’s eyes are on the road and their hands are on the wheel. The latest AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety research found that:
▪ Drivers who text when behind the wheel more than double their odds of being involved in a crash.
▪ Drivers who talk on a cell phone (either hands-free or handheld) when behind the wheel may elevate their odds of being involved in a crash.
▪ Drivers who use in-vehicle technologies, like voice-based and touch screen features, can be distracted for more than 40 seconds when completing tasks like programming navigation or sending a text message.
▪ Removing eyes from the road for just two seconds doubles the risk for a crash, according to previous research.…
In South Carolina, texting while driving is illegal. But being cited and fined may be the least of the problems associated with the practice.
More than 37,000 people were killed in crashes on U.S. roadways in 2016, NHTSA numbers show. That should tell everyone how dangerous the roads are – and how important it is not be distracted in any way from getting to your destination without harming yourself and others.
Rather than focusing on issues, some candidates (for governor) can’t stop talking about President Donald Trump in their push for voters.
Last week, Democratic candidate Marguerite Willis came out swinging, calling President Donald Trump “a horrible racist” in an online ad. Willis made the claim six times in the 30-second ad. She went on to accuse the president of being sexist and called him the “worst kind of racist, which is a racist that pretends he isn’t a racist.”
Such rhetoric has no place in such an important contest. It only serves to further divide the electorate.
South Carolina voters deserve better. Voters want to know where the candidates stand on the issues and what they will do once elected.…
Here’s our plea to the candidates: keep it classy and make the campaign about the issues. Show us what you’re going to do, if elected. In other words, earn our votes and squash the mudslinging.

It’s like the city wasn’t aware they existed, so now it’s making up for lost time.
That’s how residents of an east Toronto townhouse complex describe their current splash with the city’s water services department. Despite repeated calls from some asking to have their water meters hooked up, 30 units were never officially added to the water grid.
Last week, at long last, residents found water bills in their mail slots. But they were aghast at the amounts billed: more than $5,000 in some cases, stretching back more than six years to when the complex was built.
And payment is due May 5.
“Everybody I spoke with got billed the same amount,” said Jim Barbour, who lives with his wife and four children at the complex, on the corner of Dundas St. E. and Kingston Rd. He’s written a letter to the city and his local councillor, Mary-Margaret McMahon, demanding an explanation for how the bills were calculated, and why — and how — the city didn’t bill them for so long.
“It took nearly seven years to notice 30 homes weren’t getting bills,” Barbour said. “Who’s reviewing the water meter billing at the city?”
What do you think?
City communications co-ordinator Lyne Kyle told the Star in an email that Toronto Water realized something was amiss early this month when one of the homeowners called to ask about getting a meter.
Kyle said the city calculated the bills for Barbour and his neighbours by pegging the average consumption of homes this size — one cubic metre of water per day — to the annual price of water, which has been rising steadilyover the years.
“Moving forward, once the meters are installed, these homeowners will be charged based on their water use,” Kyle said.
Barbour’s neighbour, John Golding, said he had repeatedly caled city officials to get them to start tracking his water use, to no avail. He eventually installed a water meter himself, but still wasn’t getting billed. Now that the fee has arrived, he claims he is being charged for nearly four times more water than he actually used since moving to his townhouse in mid-2008. He’s also being billed for months he didn’t live there.
“They’re just guessing out of a hat,” said Golding. “They just give you a $5,000 bill … Who has that kind of money in their bank account?”
Jacques Bonhomme also lives in the complex with his wife and kids. Like Golding and Barbour, he reached out to the city to inquire about the getting a water meter set up, but says the process was difficult and never panned out.
According to the city’s Water Meter Program website, Toronto residents can call or book an appointment online to get a meter installed for free. Under the new electronic meter system — which the city indicates is completely rolled out in the ward that includes the townhouse complex — residents are supposed to get three bills per year.
Kyle said that in 2011 the city started flagging new developments for follow-ups to ensure utility use is being tracked. The city’s revenue services department has also been working to match tax and utility accounts to make sure everyone is online, said Kyle.
These homes were missed because they were built before this flagging process was put in place, Kyle said.
“Most of us are more than willing to pay; it’s just very frustrating that they make it so difficult to set up,” said Bonhomme. “It’s just like a cat chasing its tail.”
Bonhomme and Barbour have both suggested they should be given a payment plan to pay what they owe, but want clarification on how their $5,000 bills were calculated.
“That’s a big hole in your pocket, I’ll tell you,” said Bonhomme.
Kyle said the city is working with some of the homeowners to extend the due date for their bills and to pay them incrementally.
The average annual water bill in Toronto — based on 300 cubic metres per year — is currently $887. In 2008, just after the east Toronto complex was built, the average was $522.

After our holiday thaw, winter returned with a vengeance in a weather system that gave us snow, freezing rain, and a plummeting of temperatures. The way freezing rain interacts with trees and bushes is beautiful, albeit destructive.
These two shots are at the north side of the Bank Street Bridge, where bushes and trees rise up alongside the bridge. In such cases, it's best to leave the branches alone, weighted down with ice though they are. They'll bounce back when the ice shakes loose, but trying to remove the ice will just break branches.
As tou say,it looks nice but is damaging. I hate freezing rain.ReplyDelete
Very weird winter for where I live, this year. It's winter, it's spring, it's winter again.ReplyDelete
Thank Goodness the bad freezing rain is back up where you are. Where it belongs !
For some reason Canada's Polar Jet Stream keeps dipping down and trying to freeze the rest of my citrus trees it didn't kill 6 years ago. Please keep it with you.
it looks very white, must be really cold !ReplyDelete
Tonight woke me my wife to look how it was snowing. It was pleasant to see. It is the first time I see snow in Madrid this year.ReplyDelete
Belas fotos Willliam. Deixar a natureza fazer o seu trabalho. Bem que eu gostaria de sentir só um pouquinho de frio. Aqui está um calor insuportável. Temperaturas altíssimas.ReplyDelete
Uma boa semana
We were surprised by a fine layer of "invisible" ice yesterday morning that proved treacherous.ReplyDelete
This is bad for the branches, they often are damaged by the heavy ice.ReplyDelete
You have more snow than we have just now.ReplyDelete
Hope you'll get more and more snow.. :)
Wow your poor trees! but it is kinda beautifulReplyDelete
Wow those iced branches are beautiful! Sorry for trees but I guess they have to wait patiently until ice gets loose or melt away.ReplyDelete
I bet they'll look stunning when sun shines on them.
Simple things clutching beauty.ReplyDelete
Yes I can just imagine those frozen branches snapping. I haven't ever even seen a frozen branch :)ReplyDelete
I haven't been in that area for awhile now. The trees do look gorgeous.ReplyDelete
it is neat to see each twig fully encased, but as you said, dangerous and destructive, too.ReplyDelete
@Red: I don't like it either. Walking in it is treacherous.ReplyDelete
@Whisk: well here we do get freezing rain on occasion in the winter. Usually it's just a little bit. Back in 1998 however there was a massive ice storm in this part of the continent, and you can still see some of the damage.
@Parsnip: we can't control the jet stream!
@Massimo: it tends to be quite damp in those conditions, and you seem to feel the cold more.
@Tomas: snow in Madrid must be different!
@Gracita: thank you!
@Revrunner: definitely not something you want to experience in the wrong way.
@Marianne: that's quite true, it does happen.
@Orvokki: the snow we've got is going to stay for a good while, with more to come.
@Aimee: it's quite a contrast: beauty and destruction.
@Tamago: they do look lovely in the sunlight.
@Birdman: that's a good way to put it.
@Grace: now they're looking better. The ice does eventually fall off.
@Deb: there's a cat shop up the street that you'd love!
@Tex: very destructive!
We get lots of freezing rain here, too.Delete
All part of winter in a snowbelt.
Winter makes for lovely photos though.ReplyDelete
Ah... an everyday scene also here...ReplyDelete
I can hear those branches popping and cracking as I look a the photos.ReplyDelete
It's a little icy here too, William! Be careful!!ReplyDelete
Impressive pictures, we are not really used to weather like this... Once in a while it happens, but for us is quite scary!ReplyDelete
It is beautiful but destructive. My dad has a coffee table book about the 1998 ice storm. Hard to believe all the destruction. My Aunt lived in Kingston at the time and had to move her family to a shelter for 3 weeks because there was no water/power at her home.ReplyDelete
@Denise: it certainly does.ReplyDelete
@Karl: we can expect freezing rain here from time to time each winter.
@Sharon: it's a strange sound to hear.
@EG: I do try to take care being out and about in the winter.
@VP: southern Ontario really got hammered by a freezing rain storm in December of 2013, but even that wasn't as bad as the 1998 storm.
@Jen: I have that book too. It's quite a vivid account of the storm.
This scene reminds me of the ice storm we had here in Montreal in 1998.ReplyDelete
It hit SE Ontario, too, as well as many in Quebec!Delete
These are striking! Yes, Ice Storm '98. It was awful in Ontario, too.ReplyDelete
It's awful to see how destructive this icy rain can be.ReplyDelete
C'est très joli ... le genre de paysages d'hiver que j'aime beaucoup.ReplyDelete
Though the ice is very destructive, it makes for great photos. We haven't had any ice here yet this winter. It rained today and got up to +8C. Very spring-like.ReplyDelete
I can't recall ever having seen this in my adult life. Destructive yes maybe but oh I love it!ReplyDelete
I don't know of anything more beautiful than looking outside to see trees encased in crystal! So long as I don't have to go out among them!ReplyDelete
I get the shivers just looking at it!ReplyDelete
We seem to have missed most of that one here!ReplyDelete
I've never experienced this...and reading some of the comments above makes me happy I've missed it. Hope you can stay warm!ReplyDelete
@Linda: I'll be adding on a link or two in tomorrow's post about that.ReplyDelete
@Jennifer: in some places the scars are still there from that storm.
@Marleen: in this case, it put some people out of power, but nothing near what it had been in other storms.
@Anna: winter is my favourite season.
@Pamela: we had warmer temperatures here yesterday, but it never got over the freezing mark.
@Ciel: it's definitely not fun to walk in!
@Cheryl: if one can stay inside, it's for the best!
@Norma: a serious ice storm like the one in 1998 would be a nightmare anywhere.
@RedPat: you had enough of one last December!
@Kay: it can be much more destructive than other storms, and yet the destruction seems to be done in silence.
They do look pretty!ReplyDelete
They might be pretty but I'm glad I don't have to deal with stuff like that. Brrrrr!ReplyDelete
that is wild looking. i am not sure i have seen limbs do that? i guess it is due to a real cold temp? or? ( :ReplyDelete
Wow that is some thick ice.ReplyDelete
Brr! OMG! Like looking upon a hostile landscape!ReplyDelete
ALOHA from Honolulu
"Snow was an adventure - now seems indenture" Cloudia :-)ReplyDelete
@Lois: but dangerous!ReplyDelete
@Lowell: it is rough weather to get out in.
@Mari: in this case, I agree. Freezing rain becomes problematic.
@Beth: it's the weight of the ice that can twist branches like that. They do bounce back- the ice is largely off them now, and these bushes are looking better.
@Randy: not nearly as thick as the 1998 Ice Storm.
@Cloudia: wait til you see tomorrow's post.
this was supposed to be a harsh winter from what everyone was saying...very mild so far....some cold temps here and there but no big snow/ice events yet!ReplyDelete
Our winter this year started in November.Delete
We get those conditions here his Greensboro. Seems like February and even March can be bad. We'll see. Hope you don't have to venture too far!ReplyDelete
Freezing rain is the only kind of weather in winter I dislike.Delete

27 March, 2018
On Friday, a Houston grand jury indictment calling for the arrest of Eagles defensive end Michael Bennett was released after the nine-year National Football League vet was accused of pushing/injuring a 66-year-old paraplegic woman to get on the field to celebrate with his brother, Martellus, after the latter bro won the Super Bowl in 2017.
According to the DA's statement, Bennett - who attended high school in the Houston area - was in town for the February 5, 2017 Super Bowl to watch his brother, Martellus, who played for the New England Patriots against the Atlanta Falcons. Bennett was at the game as a spectator watching his brother Martellus play for the New England Patriots against the Atlanta Falcons.
Michael Bennett, the Philadelphia Eagles' new defensive end, turned himself in to Houston police Monday afternoon in response to a felony charge relating to an alleged incident at Super Bowl LI in 2017. It carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Acevedo said the officer checked on the condition of the paraplegic woman rather than trying to detain Bennett.
Rusty Hardin, the Houston defense attorney who has represented Roger Clemens and other high-profile clients and is now representing Bennett, called the chief's comments "over the top".
From the courthouse, Hardin took issue with Acevedo's words.
Stenson takes 1-shot lead at Bay Hill
The third-round 69 breaks a small string of third-round improvement during Woods' three previous made cuts this year. Henrik Stenson has another chance to win at Bay Hill, and he made it a little bit tougher on Tiger Woods.
"In this country, people are presumed innocent", Mr. Roseman said. "We have to fair about that in all these matters", Roseman said.
Former Seahawks DE Michael Bennett was indicted Friday for an alleged 2017 incident.
Hardin told US today that Bennett has been out of the country.
"I want to be clear: There's probably not a person-and I'm going to put him on the same ground as a bunch of people-that we trust more than (GM) John Schneider and the Seahawks", Roseman told reporters in Orlando. "Unlike the chief of police, I can tell you right now this guy is not morally bankrupt, he's one of the best people I've met".
The Houston Police Department forwarded its findings to prosecutors in December, according to NFL Network. "I'm going to take my time to find out what occurred".

Re: How I Healed My Floaters & Flashes by Kaiser76 ..... Eyesight Forum
Date: 7/26/2008 6:45:25 PM ( 15 years ago ago)
I've been taking this for a week and have already noticed a significant improvement in the fluidity of my knees which normally feel compressed and snap a lot. My back also feels more flexible and no longer compressed. I bought this mixture of HA for the health of my eyes since I learned that the vitreous fluid in the eye is HA molecules. I hope this will improve the quality of the vitreous and perhaps reduce or eliminate floaters. I wish I had found out about this sooner.

October 09, 2013
Film recordings of eleven episodes of Doctor Who – nine of which were considered ‘lost’ - have been discovered in Nigeria.
All six episodes of The Enemy of the World and five of The Web of Fear were found by Phillip Morris, director of Television International Enterprises Archive, in a television relay station in Jos, central Nigeria.
Morris tracked records of shipments made by the BBC to Africa, that contained tapes for transmission. BBC Worldwide is currently re-mastering these episodes to restore them to the fantastic quality that audiences expect from Doctor Who. The titles will launch exclusively on iTunes at 00.01 on October 11, 2013.
The pair of sequential adventures were originally screened on the BBC as part of Doctor Who’s fifth season, for 12 weeks between December 1967 and March 1968. They star Patrick Troughton as the Doctor, with Frazer Hines and Deborah Watling as companions Jamie and Victoria.
The Enemy of the World sees Troughton take on the dual-role of both the Doctor and his antagonist, Salamander, in a thrilling tale of spies, natural disasters and one man’s desire to control the whole world. The Enemy of the World will be released exclusively on iTunes on October 11. A DVD is also available for pre-order now from BBC Shop, and will be in stores from November 22.
Also recovered is the 1968 story, The Web of Fear. Unfortunately, Episode Three is still missing but reconstruction has been made this using still image ‘telesnaps’ of the episode and the original audio soundtrack, which has been restored. The story introduces Nicholas Courtney as Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart (who later returns as the Brigadier) and sees the Doctor do battle with the Great Intelligence for a second time. The Web of Fear will be released exclusively on iTunes on 11 October, and will be released on DVD in early 2014.
Phillip Morris says, “The tapes had been left gathering dust in a store room at a television relay station in Nigeria. I remember wiping the dust off the masking tape on the canisters and my heart missed a beat as I saw the words ‘Doctor Who’. When I read the story code I realised I’d found something pretty special.”
Fiona Eastwood, Director of Consumer Products, BBC Worldwide comments: “We are thrilled with the recent discovery of The Web of Fear and The Enemy of the World and we’re very happy to be working with iTunes on bringing remastered versions of these treasured episodes to fans as we celebrate the 50th year of Doctor Who.”
