“Not far from Harbourn Head is the menhir known as The Longstone.“
Crossing, 1990 p.364.
In the old bounds of the moor of Buckfast there is an entry which reads: “usque ad Docaston” which roughly translated reads; ‘and thence to Docaston’, this being the ‘Longstone’ which stands near the head of the Harbourne river, (Brewer, 2002 p.132). For some strange reason I have always referred to this menhir as ‘Harbourne Man’ but it seems that both Hemery and Crossing call it simply the: ‘Longstone’. Worth, (1988, p.266) gives a splendid description of the stone:
“This menhir is situated about 500ft west of the head of the Harbourne stream. It is not indicated on the first edition of the 6 inch O. S. sheet cxiv, sw. But a bench mark is given (1123.7) which is in fact cut into the stone.
In contrast to the Beardown Man, which tapers but slightly towards the top, the profile of this stone is triangular.
The length of the stone above ground is 8ft 1 in., its width at ground level 3ft 7in., and its thickness 13in. on the one side and 10 in. on the other. Its greatest width a little above ground level is 3ft 3in., and its greater thickness 11 in. The stone leans considerably to the west“.
It seems over the years the Dartmoor weather and grazing animals have somewhat eroded the peat because in 1983 Hemery sets the height of the menhir as being 8ft 9in. above the turf. The ADS record lists the stone as standing at 2.4m (which in old money is 7.87ft) in 2004, so it would appear that either Hemery got his figures wrong or having shrunk the peat has now expanded? One thing he definitely does get right is a wonderful description of the site: “… seen when dimpsey (dusk) falls, its outline assumes the semblance of a huge dagger“, (1983, p.605). Indeed, in some letterboxing circles I have heard the menhir simply referred to as ‘The Dagger’ which probably derives from Hemery’s description. Is there any significance to the shape? Petit (1974, p.147) seems to think so, he suggests that the triangular shape may represent the female symbol that can sometimes be found in stone rows.
But what of the stone’s context in the landscape of the Bronze Age? The aerial map opposite shows the immediate area around Harbourne Man and as can clearly be seen there are numerous cairns dotted around and the vestiges of some small settlements. Therefore there can be no doubt that Harbourne Man is set amidst a Bronze Age landscape of occupation and ritual, but what part of the ritual did the stone play? Could it be significant that the standing stone was sited near the head of the Harbourne River? Were the people involved in some kind of water cult? About 1½ miles south of the stone is ‘Bloody Pool‘ it was here that what has now been described as a Bronze Age merchant or founder’s hoard was discovered. Comprising of four bronze spearheads and ferrules it has been suggested that they formed some kind of votive offering and were placed purposefully into the one time pool.
On Dartmoor there are basically three menhirs that have been fairly positively categorised as such, all are remote and fairly well detached from any other major feature such as a stone row or circle. Beardown Man is remote and the nearest water source is about 845m away, The Hangingstone again would have been remote and is roughly 692m from the nearest spring. Harbourne Man is hardly what one would describe as being remote but it’s only around 118m away from the head of the Harbourne, was this for a specific purpose? Was the stone intentionally fashioned in a triangular fashion to represent a female? Was that female some earth goddess? Was the head of the river seen as some portal between the world of the goddess and the world of the living? In which case maybe the stone should be called ‘Harbourne Woman’. Was the stone deliberately designed to look like a dagger? If so did it act as some tribal boundary that gave out a clear message of hostility to any interlopers? Was the menhir some kind of marker for astrological observations? Or was Harbourne Man simply a memorial to somebody or some family of note? Like the other menhirs we shall never know or maybe just not yet?
Again in common with other Dartmoor menhirs there is no folklore or superstition attached to Harbourne Man, he does not even go down to the river to drink at midnight.

Lamar Odom has made it no secret that his only season in Dallas was one he'd like to forget.
Surrounded by personal tragedies, Odom floundered on the court playing the worst season of his professional career.
"I wasn't myself," Odom said at his introduction Monday at the Clippers' practice facility. "...Sometimes we go through things in life that hold us back. I put those things behind me. It's time to move forward.
"It's time to be fresh again."

If you were hoping to get your KFC fix this weekend you may be disappointed - unless that is you go to St Austell where staff said "bizarrely" they are still open.
Branches nationwide have closed because of a mix-up with suppliers which meant they were not receiving chicken or chips to fry.
Notices have appeared in the windows telling customers they are sorry, but they do not want to offer a reduced menu and so are closed until new deliveries arrive.
In Cornwall it affects Falmouth and Bodmin, with the Penzance shop closed for health and safety reasons. St Austell, however, remains open.
A staff member there said: "I know it's bizarre, but we are still open."
In Falmouth they said they hoped a delivery would arrive today, but in Bodmin they said they did not know when they would reopen.
Reports have suggested it may not be until Monday at the earliest, but KFC have yet to confirm that.
In Plymouth The Herald was getting reports some staff have been told to go home, while others have been left in limbo as delivery trucks failed to turn up at city outlets for the third day in a row.
The city's KFC stores, including its city centre restaurants in Union Street and New George Street, all shut on Thursday evening after they started running out of ingredients.
It was not long after that reports of other KFC outlets up and down the country running out of ingredients started to flood in.
A spokesperson for the fast food retailer said there had been issues with its delivery system, and that its restaurants would be open again as soon as possible.
They said on Friday: “We deliver fresh chicken to our restaurants, but we’re having a few hiccups with our delivery system at the moment.
"We’re really sorry for any inconvenience, and we’re working to have all our restaurants back up and running as soon as we can!”
In the meantime, staff were seen leaving and locking up at the KFC in Union Street on Saturday, while in Mutley Plain the doors remained locked.
One member of staff told a customer: "We are not entirely sure what is happening".
Another said, after being asked whether the St Budeaux store was open: "I couldn't tell you at the moment."
There has been an explosion on social media regarding the KFC closures nationwide, and mass confusion over where the chicken has gone.
Some have dubbed it 'the great chicken famine of 2018'.
The closures have also been picked up by all national newspaper titles, including The Mirror, The Sun and the Daily Mail.

Hersey has been a manufacturer of water meters and other heavy industry equipment since 1859. A Hersey water meter checks and measures the flow of water through the main pipe into your house. You can use a Hersey water meter to tell how much water you have consumed. The meters come in many shapes and sizes. With a few steps, it is not difficult to identify them.
Things You'll Need
- Measuring tape
Inspect the water meter you have. Look for the "Hersey" or "Mueller" names printed on the meter. Mueller Water Products Inc. bought Hersey in 1999, so meters manufactured after that year may display the "Mueller" name instead of "Hersey."
Check above the counter for the Hersey trademark. The Hersey trademark is the printed word "Hersey," with the letter "H" is considerably larger than the other letters. Some meters may have "Hersey Meters" above the counter.
Turn the water meter over. The serial number or model number is printed at the bottom of the meter. Contact 800-323-8584 or 704-278-2221 and quote the reference number to identify your water meter.
Check the size of the water meter. Use a measuring tape to measure the diameter of meter's inflow pipe. Hersey meter sizes range from five-eighths inch to 2 inches.

Go with OA. When you arrive in ATH you will arrive at the OA terminal where all OA domestic flights operate from. If you fly any other airline to ATH, you will go to the other terminal where all other international airlines go to which is across the runway from the OA terminal and a hassle to get to if your travels involve an OA domestic flight. Also, a little known fact about OA: if you arrive in ATH with OA on one of their long haul international flights (all A340-300 flights), eg from JFK,BOS,YYZ,SYD or Melbourne, a free round trip from ATH to SKG (Thessaloniki) is yours for the asking at the time of booking (based on availability of course).

Just to correct my last reply, if the airline is in good financial status at the time of your trip then stay with OA. Like Alitis said, the terminal where you will be has all of OA's domestic flights to other Greek destinations.

God almighty, fly Olympic! Their J-class on the brand new A340 has huge seats, state of the art ergonomic stuff, with personal TVs and reading lights on stalks. Their economy class food is excellent on long haul, yummy main meals with smoked salmon on the side, it's a huge tray, lots of salad too. J-class is even better! Printed menu etc, full amenity kit, leather folder full of stationery, baggage priority, good lounges both ends with free food, bar, fax, newspapers and magazines etc (Athens one is big and plush). You can visit the cockpit and chat with the flight crew for an hour (on every OA flight I've ever been on it's seemed like there's eight uniformed pilots up front). True about the smoking but I also consider that a major plus - anyway there won't be that much smoking in business class, and the few that are there will be dispersed due to the generous seating.
And you're considering giving all this up and flying in Economy on a US airline where you'll be treated like dirt and either starved or poisoned instead? No footrest? No second / third / forth drinks service (and nothing before take-off, not even an orange juice)? Tiny seats surrounded by noisy idiots? In a ten year old 767? With call buttons that may as well be disconnected? And no IFE?
If only all life's decisions were this easy.

When Lewis Hamilton said at the end of the Formula One season that he, Fernando Alonso, Max Verstappen, and Sebastian Vettel would be the drivers to beat next year, observers quickly noticed a name he’d forgotten to mention.
Verstappen’s boss, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner was quick to set the record straight, saying Daniel Ricciardo is definitely a part of that elite group – and the Australian’s performances this season and over his career make it likely that Hamilton made an honest mistake in not including him.
Of course, there will be no future errors from the four-time world champion if Ricciardo partners up with the Brit at Mercedes as rumours over the Aussie’s long-term future persist.
The 28-year-old is out of contract with Red Bull at the conclusion of next season and is reportedly assessing his options as he weighs up the best avenue for silverware with Mercedes and Ferrari both possible destinations.
But for his part, the ever-smiling Ricciardo is focusing on next season, when he’ll have plenty of chances to show he belongs.
“I know what I want from myself in 2018,” Ricciardo said. “These are goals I wanted back in 2014. Nothing really changes.”
While he doesn’t say it explicitly, everyone knows what that means: Ricciardo is gunning for the title.
Mercedes’ dominance over the last few years, and Red Bull’s reliability problems this season, mean he hasn’t truly been a contender for the championship in his career, but there have been plenty of occasions when he’s shown the talent that justifies his lofty goals.
He’s also quick to acknowledge that he’s still developing as a driver, and his up-and-down 2017 season contributed to that.
“Through this year, there were some great days and some days which weren’t so great. I built up a list of notes from the year, what I can do to be better, to get more out of myself,” Ricciardo explained.
“These are things that are there. I don’t need to address them in the next month. It’s not stuff I’m going to learn back in Australia. But once I get back to Europe in the new year, then these are all things that I’ll put into place to work towards.
“It’ll all happen in due time, but for now all I’m thinking about is taking some holidays!”
Even in a 2017 dominated by Mercedes and Ferrari, there were race weekends when Red Bull had the second-quickest car, or arguably even the quickest, only to be let down by engine performance and reliability, issues that plagued Ricciardo and Verstappen all season.
“In the beginning of the year it was, ‘We need performance. Who cares about reliablity? We need a fast car,'” Ricciardo recalled. “We eventually got a fast car but reliability let us down throughout the whole season, early with Max, later with me.”
“I think Lewis finished every race this year, and if we want to be in the title we need to be finishing every race.”
If Red Bull can sort out their engine problems next season, it won’t take long for Ricciardo to show that there are five, not four, elite drivers in F1.
Alfa Romeo are returning to Formula One after a 30-year absence as backers of Sauber next year, the iconic Italian marque announced on Wednesday.
The Ferrari-powered team will be known as Alfa Romeo Sauber.
Ferrari chairman Sergio Marchionne, CEO of the Milan-based manufacturer’s company Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, said in a statement that Alfa was “determined to begin writing an exciting new chapter in its unique, legendary sporting history”.
Pascal Picci, Chairman of Swiss-based Sauber Holding AG, added: “We are very pleased to welcome Alfa Romeo to the Sauber F1 Team.
“Alfa Romeo has a long history of success in Grand Prix racing, and we are very proud that this internationally renowned company has chosen to work with us for its return to the pinnacle of motorsport.”
Alfa Romeo won the inaugural F1 championship with Nino Farina in 1950, and followed up with legendary Argentinian Juan Manuel Fangio winning the 1951 title.
They then served as engine supplier for several teams from 1961 until 1979, before returning with a works team from 1979 to 1985, when they pulled out of F1.
Sauber have yet to finalise their drivers line-up for next season, with Ferrari’s junior drivers Charles Leclerc and Antonio Giovinazzi believed to be in the frame to replace Marcus Ericsson and Pascal Wehrlein.
This month, PUMA launched their ’24/7′ campaign, the brand’s newest performance proposition for men, featuring four-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton.
As the newest addition to the PUMA family, the 32-year-old Hamilton will spearhead the Men’s Training Business launch, beginning with the ’24/7′ marketing campaign, which redefines the brand’s performance philosophy in a time when workouts are no longer constricted to the gym.
PUMA believe Hamilton is the perfect embodiment of the 24/7 training proposition. With his unending travels and insane schedule, he demonstrates just how necessary it is to have a wardrobe that performs from the gym to the street.
The brand recognise that the city itself can be the gym, track and stage all day, every day, which is how “24/7” came about. The streetwear line is built to perform. Product designs feature a fusion of high performance training technologies with streetwear styling to create the most flexible collection to date.

Country enjoys rises in exports of wood and wooden products
(VNF) - Export value of wood and wooden products in May 2015 reached almost USD2.56 billion, up 6.9% year on year, reported the Ho Chi Minh City Handicraft and Wood Industry Association (Hawa).
The US, Japan and China were the three biggest importers of Ho Chi Minh City’s wood products, accounting for 65.3% of the total. The advantage came from the economic crisis making European producers reduce their wood production and the US imposing on anti-dumping tax on Chinese wooden products.

Vietnam’s wood export turnover is forecast to rise sharply until the end of the year as domestic wood producers have announced numerous orders throughout the year. In addition, the ASEAN Economic Community formation in December 2015 is expected to offer more opportunities for Vietnamese wood producers because wood is among the 12 prioritized sectors for export.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade predicted that the domestic wood market would see positive growth in 2015 as consumption demand of made-in-Vietnam wooden products was on the rise. The country planned to earn USD7 billion from wood and wooden products exports in this year.
However, aiming at sustainable development, the domestic wood industry needs to standardize its production process as well as design and make more Vietnamese branded products. In addition, experts suggested the industry define sections in the supply chain in order to attach importance to the production process.
Vietnam is now the world’s sixth biggest wood producers with an average export growth value of 27.15% during the 2011-2010 period. In 2014, the country earned USD6.23 billion from wood exports./.

Barack Obama believes that the U.S. should not give in trade to China. And that is the TRANS-Pacific partnership agreement, which will include 12 countries, will help to establish U.S. leadership in the global market.
photo: Alexander Astafyev
President Barack Obama appealed to Congress with a request as soon as possible to sign the agreement on the TRANS-Pacific partnership (TPP). This is stated in the article the American President in The Washington Post.
In his address, he called all the best aspects of this document: the TPP will include 12 countries, which make up almost 40% of the world economy. And in this market the US will become leaders, said Obama.
According to him in the area of TPP private firms will be able to compete freely with state-owned enterprises, the Internet is free, the agreement also enhances protection of copyrights of intellectual property that will allow innovators to build and create.
Obama noted that in this zone will be eliminated all obstacles to the sale of American goods abroad. This, according to him, applies to more than 18 000 taxes on products that are installed in other countries for American manufacturers.
Due to all these factors, assured the President that the United States will be able to sell more than is produced now, and this, in turn, will help to create more high-paying jobs.
Obama believes that building a wall to isolate itself from the world economy, only isolates the country from the incredible opportunities that it provides. Instead, says the American leader, the USA should be leading, should be a leader and command on the world market.
“The world has changed. The rules of world trade are changing. And that the United States and not countries like China, must write them.” “Other countries must play by the rules, which will be installed by America and its partners, not the opposite,” says Obama.
In his opinion, this agreement strengthens and national security: when the reduced number of people suffering from poverty, when trading partners are flourishing, and when the economy is forging closer ties in a strategically important region, America is getting stronger, Obama said.
At the same time, he warned Congress that to proceed with the signing of the agreement is impossible, as the main competitor — China — is also discussing trade rules with other countries in the Asia Pacific region. For example, said the us President, in Australia last week hosted a meeting of representatives of 15 Nations, to the end of the year to conclude his deal called the regional Comprehensive economic partnership.Related posts:

Age-related physiological decline emerges at different chronological ages across individuals. While physiological aging is linked to the functional decay of stem cells that sustain tissue regeneration, the basis of aging variation across individuals remains unclear. Using high throughput single cell technologies to compare mice of the same chronological age that exhibited early or delayed hematopoietic aging, we identified a small subset of “anti-aging” HSCs in delayed aging mice that counteracted the progression of aging by reducing myelopoiesis. Our molecular analyses revealed that some HSCs in mice with early aging onset show upregulation of genes involved in aging, myeloid differentiation, and stem cell proliferation. Delayed aging was instead linked to the upregulation of genes involved in stem cell regulation and response to external signals. Altogether, our findings suggest that modulation of myelopoiesis in select HSCs plays a major role in triggering or delaying the onset of hematopoietic aging in individuals.

Dr. Lissa Rankin’s medical blog is based on her upcoming book What’s Up Down There? Questions You’d Only Ask Your Gynecologist If She Was Your Best Friend, which you can preorder here.
I’m a sufferer of severe PMS (my doctor calls it PMDD), and girl: SUFFER is the word. The whole issue is a stew of contradictory thoughts & worries for me. It mucks up my mojo worrying about how Goddess-dissing it seems that I have such problems surrounding my cycle. My condition is totally screwing up my relationship. I’m confused about treatment & what it all means, gyno-spiritually, if you will. I didnít seem fair that I should have to endure this, all because Eve ate that damn apple.
I hear you, sister. Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or its evil stepsister, the more severe premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), can rob even the best of us of our mojo for those few days before the menstrual cycle begins. You may feel like youíre rockiní in love, joy, and acceptance 24 days out of the cycle, but the 4 days before your period you turn into a raging lunatic. If you feel this way, youíre so not alone.
Most women experience symptoms of PMS from time to time — mood swings, chocolate cravings, bloating, irritability. But the more serious PMDD can seriously affect your quality of life. Makes it hard to Own Femininity, eh? Itís enough to make a Goddess like yourself resent being born female. So what can you do?
Natural Tips For Minimizing PMS Symptoms
1. Eat a whole foods diet. You’ve heard it before, but it really does help. That means cutting back on sugar, refined carbohydrates, dairy, caffeine, processed foods, and saturated and hydrogenated (trans) fats, and instead adding fruits, veggies, and whole grains, especially during the luteal phase (second half) of your cycle. Sorry, but that means bye-bye chocolate.
2. Increase essential fatty acids by eating nuts, seeds, and fish.
3. Manage your stress effectively. Try yoga, meditation, massage, or guided imagery CDs.
4. Engage in regular aerobic exercise. A good, long hike helps regulate your hormones and your stress, and it builds up happy-making endorphins.
5. Take a multivitamin and 1200mg of calcium/day.
6. Talk to an integrative medicine doctor about how to use supplements to help your PMS symptoms. Alternative medicine therapies like acupuncture and Reiki can also help.

Apple's CEO, Tim Cook has reportedly followed up on the announcement of the Apple/Beats deal with a memo to employees that discusses Apple's deep history in music, Iovine's role in the early days of iTunes, and how Beats got subscription music right. Mark Gurman, reporting for 9to5Mac:
Beats Music was built with deep respect for both artists and fans. We think it's the first subscription service to really get it right. Both Apple and Beats believe that a great music service requires a strong editorial and curation team, and we will continue to expand what we do in those areas. The addition of Beats will make our incredible iTunes lineup even better, extending the emotional connection our customers have with music.
The memo apparently affirms that Iovine, Dre, and the Beats Music team will report to SVP of services, Eddy Cue, while the Beats speaker and headphone division with fall under SVP of worldwide marketing, Phil Schiller.
If you're using Beats Music now, does the acquisition change anything for you? If not, will it get you to reconsider giving it a try?

Briny Baird had a 66 and was two strokes behind, but the name that got Goosens attention was Vijay Singh.
The big Fijian had six birdies over his final 11 holes and matched the low round of the tournament, a 6-under 65 that left him only three strokes behind and in the final group today, a familiar position.
A victory by Singh would clinch the money title and end Tiger Woods four-year reign. Otherwise, it would be decided next week at the Tour Championship.
If I do, I do. If I dont, I dont, Singh shrugged. Ive still got a chance next week. He still has to beat me next week to pass me.
Beating Goosen is no picnic.
The former U.S. Open champion is a tough front-runner, and he is playing well on the Copperhead course at Innisbrook.
Goosen was at 11-under 202 and has a good chance to win on the PGA Tour for the third consecutive year. He overcame a few mental mistakes on the back nine with an approach that stopped 6 feet from the hole for a birdie on No. 18.
Obviously, Vijay is trying to win to finish off the money title, Goosen said. Im trying to win it to get into the Mercedes (Championships at Kapalua). One of us will be unhappy.
Overlooked in the final group is Baird, who is 35th on the money list and figured he would need a top-five finish to get into the Tour Championship.
Now, hes got a bigger carrot to chase.
Its there for the taking if I play well, said Baird, who has never won on tour.
Tim Petrovic was another stroke behind after a 66, and he was on another kind of bubble.
The former pizza deliveryman is 41st on the money list, and appears to be a shoo-in to wind up in the top 40 and qualify for the Masters.
Petrovic is setting his sights even higher.
All that depends on Goosen, the cool South African who looks at peace whether he hits a tee shot 80 feet off line for bogey (No. 17) or holes a 60-foot putt for birdie (No. 8).
19-year-old Ahn leads LPGA event in Korea
JEJU ISLAND, South Korea Teenager Shi-hyun Ahn led by three strokes halfway through the CJ Nine Bridges Classic on Saturday after shooting a 1-under-par 71 in the LPGA tournament.
Defending champion Se Ri Pak, Grace Park, Catriona Matthew and Laura Davies shared second place.
Ahn, a 19-year-old South Korean, birdied the par-4 14th hole after making nine consecutive pars. She finished the second round at 8-under 136, a day after tying Paks course record on the resort island with a 65.
If I win this tournament, I plan to go to the United States to join the LPGA Tour, Ahn said.
Pak tied for 10th a week ago on the Korean tour after becoming the first woman in 58 years to make the two-round cut in a mens event.
The South Korean star shot a 70 Saturday while Park had a 73, Matthew a 72 and Davies a 71.
I putted very well for the two days, and I need to do it one more day, Davies said.
Michelle Wie, 14, ended the day last in the 69-player field at 19-over 163. After a first-round 85, she shot a 78 that included three double bogeys.
The tournament is Wies seventh and final LPGA Tour start of the year.
The field features 50 LPGA Tour players competing for a $1.2 million purse. The winners share is $187,500.
Spains Rodiles leads at Volvo Masters
SOTOGRANDE, Spain Carlos Rodiles of Spain took a two-shot lead over Fredrik Jacobson of Sweden after Saturdays unfinished third round of the Volvo Masters, the European tours season-ending event.
Rodiles, seeking his first tour victory, was at 11 under when darkness halted play. Denmarks Anders Hansen was third at 5 under.
Jacobson is a regular on the PGA Tour but also plays in Europe. Hes trying to become the only European to win three times this season.
With the second round called off Friday because of heavy rain and strong wind, only nine of the 10 groups were able to complete 54 holes. The remaining players will complete the third round today.

2015 Southern Political Science Association. For decades, constitutional theorists have confronted the normative problems associated with judicial review by an unelected judiciary; yet some political scientists contend that judicial review actually tends to promote majoritarian interests. We evaluate the majoritarian nature of judicial review and test the political foundations that shape this process. To do so, we construct a statute-centered data set of every important federal law enacted from 1949 through 2008 and estimate the probability of a law being challenged and subsequently invalidated by the Supreme Court. Our methodological approach overcomes problems of selection bias and facilitates a test of judicial majoritarianism and the mechanisms that drive that behavior. We find that the Court tends to invalidate laws with little support from elected officials and that this pattern is primarily driven by the justices' concern for congressional constraint during the certiorari stage.

Microstructural Evolution and Mechanical Properties in Directionally Solidified Sn-10.2 Sb Peritectic Alloy at a Constant Temperature Gradient
MetadataShow full item record
The Sn-10.2 Sb (mass fraction) peritectic alloy was prepared using a vacuum melting furnace and a hot filling furnace. The samples were directionally solidified upwards at steady state conditions with a constant temperature gradient (G = 4.5 +/- 0.2 K. mm(-1)) under different growth velocities (V = 13.3-266.7 mu m. s(-1)) in a Bridgman-type directional solidification apparatus. The effects of the growth velocity (V) on the dendritic spacings were investigated. Primary dendrite arm spacing (PDAS) of a phase in directionally solidified Sn-10.2 Sb peritectic alloy was measured on the longitudinal and transverse sections of 4 mm diameter cylindrical samples. Secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS) was measured on the longitudinal section. The experimental results show that the measured PDAS (lambda(IL),lambda(IT)) and SDAS (lambda(2)) decrease with increasing growth velocity. The dependence of PDAS, SDAS, microhardness (HV) and compressive strength (sigma(c)) on the growth velocity were determined by using a linear regression analysis. The experimental results were compared with the previous experimental results and the results of the experimental models.

Lupita Nyong’o wins Golden Globes’ red carpet fashion award
She may have lost out to Jennifer Lawrence in the best supporting actress category, but newcomer Lupita Nyong’o definitely won the top red carpet fashion award at the Golden Globes.
“Lupita Nyong’o was by far the best dressed last night at the Golden Globes,” celebrity fashion stylist Beagy Zielinski told theGrio. “Her Ralph Lauren dress actually looked better on her than on the runway model who wore it in the show! The color against her skin was divine. The dress was tailored to perfection.”
Nyong’o’s breathtaking, bright red gown earned the 12 Years a Slave actress accolades before the Hollywood Foreign Press Association began giving out its awards during Sunday’s broadcast. Twitter users and professional journalists alike went simultaneously agog on social media in response to the dramatic, cape-sleeved gown cut with a sensual, slim silhouette.
“ALL the awards for this dress Lupita Nyong’o has on. #GoldenGlobes,” tweeted Aljazeera America news producer Dexter Mullins in a reaction that was shared by countless onlookers.
Great dress, hot hairstyle
According to the Page 6 gossip column of the New York Post, both Gucci and Prada vied to dress the actress that night — but American designer Ralph Lauren won out.
In addition to a stunning frock, Nyong’o debuted a subtly new hairstyle. Known for her low Afro, at Sunday’s Globes — which are well-known as a precursor and predictor of the Academy Award nominations — she wore a straighter look. While not “bone-straight,” Nyong’o’s tresses were slightly spiky instead of coiled. Her clearly-cropped part complemented the nearly-shaved perimeter of her coiffure.
“Her short haircut showing off her great shoulders really made the look regal and I love that she went with minimal jewelry,” Zielinski elaborated about Nyong’o’s ensemble. “But what made her stand out the most was her humble confidence. When interviewed by E! about whether she felt pressure to look good after being named one of Vogue‘s Top Ten Rising Style Stars of 2014, she replied ‘no, because I only wear what speaks to me.’ It made me love her that much more, because it shows that she isn’t just another celeb with a great stylist. She also has a great sense of style herself.”
That innate sense of style is being rewarded by numerous magazine covers — and a luxury fashion contract. Yes, Lupita Nyong’o is benefiting from this attention as part of the Spring 2014 Miu Miu print ad campaign.
Poised for greater laurels
For style watchers, this latest rep carpet coup is part of a trajectory for Nyong’o that will likely continue into the stratosphere.
“She has been working the red carpet circuit since September and hasn’t made a misstep,” writes Los Angeles Times fashion critic Booth Moore. “She has shown remarkable range, and every look she has chosen has been special.”
This might be small solace to those who are disappointed that the recent Yale graduate did not take home a statue for her portrayal of the tortured slave Patsey in 12 Years a Slave. But it does give us hope to know that, regardless of whether she receives a nomination for an Oscar later this week, Nyong’o’s presence in Hollywood is solidly cemented at center stage through both her acting talent and her style.

What is Managed Web Hosting ?
Managed web hosting is one of two types of dedicated web hosting. Dedicated web hosting is the kind of web hosting that is most suitable for large business owners who have to run multiple websites. This kind of owners will need a massive amount of disk space and bandwidth. This is why shared web hosting is not an option and this is why these businesses use the services of dedicated web hosting provider that enables them to rent out an entire server and all of its resources so it can sustain the traffic and bandwidth needed.
There are many Managed Hosting Providers and their Managed Hosting Solutions depends and vary according to the Price and many other factors like the type of Dedicated Hosting i.e. either Windows Dedicated Hosting, Dedicated Linux Hosting, or any other.
|Hosting Review||Rating||Expert View|
What can you do with Managed Hosting?
Large businesses can utilize dedicated managed web hosting in order to get the amount of bandwidth and disk space they need without having to worry about monitoring or managing the website. This is due to the fact that in dedicated managed web hosting, the provider is the one responsible for monitoring and overseeing the operations of the website.
Finding the best Managed Hosting Provider
Using dedicated managed web hosting services is the smart choice. After making that choice, you will have to start comparing the different packages on offer by different providers.

- Donald Trump is struggling to find lawyers willing to represent him, according to a Washington Post report.
- The Post spoke to several lawyers, some of whom described Trump as an unlikely client.
- Others said they feared they would not be paid after representing him.
Former President Donald Trump is having trouble finding a good lawyer to represent him, according to a new report from The Washington Post.
The Post spoke to several attorneys who spoke on condition of anonymity about Trump’s efforts to find an experienced attorney to represent him. “Everybody’s saying no,” one Republican lawyer told The Post, assessing how lawyers are rejecting the Trump camp’s cases.
Also, speaking on condition of anonymity, another attorney spoke about the difficulties he faces representing Trump. They said that during his presidency, Trump would tweet about Mueller’s investigation against the advice of his legal team. Several other people also told The Post that Trump was an unlikely client and were concerned about whether they would be compensated for their work.
“In the old days, he told the firms that represented him it was a benefit because they could advertise him. It’s not the same today,” said Michael Cohen, a former Trump lawyer who has since become a critic. the ex-president’s tough.
“He’s also a very difficult client in that he’s always pushing the envelope, he rarely listens to sound legal advice, and he wants you to do things that aren’t ethically or legally appropriate,” Cohen added.
Trump spokesman Taylor Budowich told The Post that Trump’s legal team includes individuals like Jim Trusty and Evan Corcoran, who have “decades of prosecutorial experience and have litigated some of the most complex cases in American history.”
“President Trump is represented by some of the strongest attorneys in the country, and any suggestion otherwise is fueled only by envy,” Budowich said.
Trump is currently represented by Trusty and Corcoran — as well as Alina Habba, a parking garage attorney in New Jersey, and former One America News anchor Christina Bobb.
Trump is facing several major legal challenges this year, including an investigation in New York into whether the Trump Organization violated banking, insurance and tax laws and engaged in financial fraud. Trump pleaded fifth more than 440 times during his deposition in the case.
Trump could also face possible criminal charges following a Justice Department investigation into whether he misused confidential documents. While executing a search warrant at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago last Monday, the FBI seized 11 sets of classified documents — some of which were marked “top secret” and related to nuclear weapons. According to the order, the Justice Department is looking into whether Trump broke three federal laws, including the Espionage Act.
A representative at Trump’s post-presidential press office did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment.

In 2010, prisoners at Sing Sing Correctional Facility came together to form a group called Forgotten Voices, which sought to help the public combat gun violence and other social issues. Shortly after taking control of the facility in 2012, Superintendent Michael Capra invited elite multimedia professionals in to help those convicted of capital crimes share their narratives in hopes of persuading young people to put down their guns. Eventually, the project would come to be known as Voices From Within. Watch their video.

A number of Liverpool supporters have been voicing their frustration after it was claimed that Divock Origi looks set to stay at the club.
The 26-year-old has had a strange Reds career overall, producing some memorable moments but also flattering to deceive at times.
Origi will always be loved for some major contributions, including his goal in the 2019 Champions League final win over Tottenham, his double against Barcelona in the semi-finals and his last-gasp winner at home to Everton in the Premier League.
The longer his Liverpool career has gone on the more ineffective he has become, however, with the forward making just two starts in the league last season.
Origi appears to be surplus to requirements under Jurgen Klopp, but despite him being made available, The Athletic‘s James Pearce [via Anfield Watch on Twitter] has claimed that no concrete offers have arrived this summer.
Liverpool fans unhappy at Origi latest
That suggests that Liverpool will keep hold of the Belgian and these unhappy fans took to Twitter to provide their thoughts.
“He started 4 games last season, kids were getting played ahead of him in pre-season. He’s got no ambition to play football whatsoever. Just don’t give him a squad number am sorry it’s harsh but club before any player. No good to us if you lack ambition and are happy sitting on the bench“
“Can we terminate his contract @LFC? we don’t want to see him in the Liverpool shirt anymore“
“Sell him please just sell“
“He hasn’t got a career. He’s just taking his money from the club“
“Gone from being a cult hero to such a bottleneck…“
“Shaqiri left because he wanted more playing time but Origi wants to stay since he knows he won’t be able to earn the same salary elsewhere. Our biggest mistake was offering him a new contract after the CL final!“
In other news, some Liverpool fans are angry after a key development emerged on Thursday. Read more here.

Re: Want to build a long range rifle
Thank you for everyone's imput. It sounds like the 338 is the most popular. As for the Africian questions. More than likely it will just be a plains game hunt. And truthfully I may just take my bow, that is if I even get to go with today's economy. But I was under the impression I would be required to take a 30 cal. or larger for anything in Africa. It looks like I need to do some more research.
I am not a gun collector I only own a couple of guns, but I shoot them a lot. So I would like to by something large enough for most big game around the world meaning, deer, bear, elk, moose, caribou, and plains game. I would think if some day I could hunt dangerous game I will be able to afford a bigger gun. Also I just like the idea of shoot accuratly out to 800 yards, sounds like a blast. Over the last year I have been able to tune my TC muzzleloader to shoot a 8" inch group at 300 yards with a 1x scope and my 270 out to 400-500 yard, but I have felt like there is not enough energy left to shoot elk that far with that caliber. I wish I new more technical data about the gun it might be fine. I just have worked of trail and error.
Can someone explain more about a 338 Edge. Is it the same as a 338 mag. Sorry this might be a dump question. Its okay to give me a little crap if you would like!


Weaners must not be allowed to freeze. An animal freezes at the potential cost of several days’ growth, and a greater risk of diarrhoea and mortality.
An intelligent canopy creates and maintains a better microclimate in the weaner unit.
The canopy is precisely positioned by means of a motor. An infrared sensor monitors the pigs’ body temperature and adjusts the cover to maintain optimal pig body temperature at all times. The opening in the canopy can be adjusted to as little as 40 cm, which reduces heating consumption in the unit by up to 90 %. The intelligent cover renders other heat sources superfluous.
VengSystem's intelligent control system adjusts cover position automatically.
The technology reduces the opening in the cover to as little as 40 cm. The intelligent canopy renders other heat sources superfluous and reduces heating costs by up to 90 %.
Another possible method is to fit heat lamps to the cover and control the temperature in each pen. This allows for sorting the pigs and keeps the smallest piglets in a warmer environment to ensure that they thrive.
VengSystem is an innovative company with unswerving focus on making agriculture climate-neutral. We develop products in close cooperation with some of the world’s leading farmers. We are driven by our farmers’ challenges and needs. We call this Next Level Farming!

With the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, Congress created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to assure safe and healthful working conditions by setting and enforcing standards and by providing training, outreach, education, and assistance.
OSHA covers most private sector employers and workers in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and other United States jurisdictions either directly through federal OSHA or through an OSHA-approved State Plan. (State Plans are OSHA-approved job safety and health programs operated by individual states instead of federal OSHA.)
Not covered by the OSH Act
- Self-employed workers;
- State and local government workers (EXCEPT that state/local government workers in states that have an approved OSHA State Plan ARE covered by their state’s plan);
- Immediate family members of farm employers that do not employ outside employees; and
- Workplace hazards regulated by another federal agency (for example, the Mine Safety and Health Administration, the Department of Energy, Department of Transportation, or Coast Guard).
- CSHO (Compliance Safety and Health Officer): The federal OSHA employee who conducts inspections for the agency — a.k.a. “OSHA Inspector.”
- General Duty Clause (GDC): A section of the OSH Act — Section 5(a)(1) — that requires employers to protect employees from recognized, serious hazards, regardless of whether there is a specific standard addressing that hazard. OSHA often uses the GDC to cite employers for not protecting workers from ergonomic-type hazards, workplace violence, and heat stress.
- General Industry: The group of industries who are covered by OSHA’s Part 1910 regulations. This includes the majority of workplaces, except for construction, agriculture, and maritime.
- OSHA: The Occupational Safety and Health Administration — the federal agency that sets and enforces worker safety and health laws.
- OSH Act: The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, which is the enabling legislation for OSHA.
- Repeated violation: A hazardous/violative condition that is the same or similar to a previously cited condition in the past five years at either the same establishment or another establishment of the same company under federal OSHA jurisdiction.
- Serious violation: A violation where there is a substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result, and the employer knew or should have known of the hazard.
- Willful violation: A violation that the employer intentionally and knowingly commits.
Summary of requirements
Under the OSH Act, employers must:
- Follow all relevant OSHA safety and health standards.
- Find and correct safety and health hazards.
- Inform employees about chemical hazards through training, labels, alarms, color-coded systems, chemical information sheets, and other methods.
- Notify OSHA within 8 hours of a workplace fatality or within 24 hours of any work-related in-patient hospitalization, amputation, or loss of eye.
- Provide required personal protective equipment (PPE) at no cost to workers. (Note that employers must pay for most types of PPE; athough, there are a few exceptions such as non-specialty prescription safety glasses and non-specialty steel-toe shoes, provided employees are allowed to take the equipment home with them.)
- Keep accurate records of work-related injuries and illnesses.
- Post OSHA citations, injury and illness summary data, and the OSHA Job Safety and Health — It’s The Law poster in the workplace where workers will see them.
- Not retaliate against any worker for exercising their rights under the law.
Many trade associations collect and disseminate information on workplace safety and health matters to better serve their members. The following are examples of professional associations that have a broad range of expertise and information on workplace safety and health.

MENDHAM, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / March 14, 2017 / #GiveHealthy is designed to solve a big problem.
Donating food to food drives is one of the most popular forms of giving in the US. More people donate food than watch the Super Bowl each year, a great display of the public's interest in supporting one of our most pressing social issues - hunger.
However, traditional food drives are limited to non-perishable donations, often highly processed, nutrient deficient food. The 42 Million+ people struggling with food insecurity also face high rates of diet related health issues - things like obesity, diabetes, cancer - due to a lack of access to healthy food. A lot of food that gets donated actually worsens these health conditions.
What's needed are healthy food donations.
#GiveHealthy provides an easy way for people to donate fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, and other healthy food so that people struggling with hunger get the kind of food they really need. It's also designed to heighten public awareness that hunger is a health issue and to get people thinking about the kind of food they should donate.
#GiveHealthy starts in March with a two month Get Involved! phase, during which groups can join the campaign as a partner, an ambassador, or to sponsor their own #GiveHealthy food drive. Hunger organizations can join the campaign as well. The Donate! phase of the campaign will run during the entire month of May. The Gets Delivered! phase will take place in June and July as the healthy food is delivered to hunger organizations across the country.
Healthy food deliveries will be made in June and July to hunger organizations across the country.
#GiveHealthy was developed by a group of organizations working towards getting healthier food to those who lack access to it. These Founding Partners include Wholesome Wave, WhyHunger, Foodtank, Ashley Koff Approved, and Amp Your Good. National Partners include The Center for Science in the Public Interest, Cancer Schmancer, Change Food, and many others. The campaign also has a set of notable Health, Education, Hunger, and Media partners.
#GiveHealthy is guided by an Advisory Board well versed in the complex issues affecting hunger - food system, nutrition, health, food policy, and food access.
People love to donate food to support those facing hunger. It's an elemental and universal way of giving. #GiveHealthy is a movement to change this most popular form of giving so that people donate the kind of food that will have the most positive impact - healthy food.
Those who are interested in joining the #GiveHealthy movement can visit www.givehealthy.org for more information and to sign up to participate.

Boston.com …The committee’s Republican chairman, Rep. Jo Bonner of Alabama, said the outside attorney, Billy Martin, requested the recusals. But Bonner said the recusals “are not based on any indication of any wrongdoing or inappropriate partisanship by the members.’’ Its senior Democrat, Rep. Linda Sanchez of California, also withdrew from the case — even though she was not a committee member when the allegations of bias surfaced. In fact, all five of the Democrats on the committee in 2010 quit the panel when Congress convened in January last year, saying new members were needed to take a fresh look at the Waters case. However, all five Republicans decided to stay on.
Waters, a high-ranking member of the Financial Services Committee, was accused by the panel of trying to use her influence to obtain federal aid for a minority-owned bank where her husband is an investor.
During an investigation that has gone on for more than two years, Waters, one of the longest-serving African-American lawmakers, has consistently denied wrongdoing, saying her efforts were focused on helping a number of minority-owned banks that were in financial trouble.
The chairman said Martin advised the committee that, to date:
—He has not discovered any evidence to indicate bias or partiality in the investigation.
—He has not discovered evidence that should cause a mandatory removal of anyone from the case.
—There is no conflict that would require disqualification of any current member or staff of the committee….
There is email evidence of Water’s guilt among other things but the trial is continually delayed. We haven’t found the frozen money in the meat freezer yet but there is a great deal of circumstantial evidence.
A newly discovered exchange of e-mails led the House ethics committee on Friday to delay its trial of Representative Maxine Waters, a California Democrat accused of helping steer bailout money to a bank in which her husband owned shares.
The e-mails are between Mikael Moore, Ms. Waters’s chief of staff, and members of the House Financial Services Committee, on which Ms. Waters serves. The e-mails show that Mr. Moore was actively engaged in discussing with committee members details of a bank bailout bill apparently after Ms. Waters agreed to refrain from advocating on the bank’s behalf. The bailout bill had provisions that ultimately benefited OneUnited, a minority-owned bank in which her husband, Sidney Williams, owned about $350,000 in shares. ..
The subcommittee’s original report found that in early September 2008, Representative Barney Frank, Democrat of Massachusetts and the committee’s chairman, told Ms. Waters not to get involved with any issues involving OneUnited and that Ms. Waters agreed to refrain from advocating on the bank’s behalf. The case against Ms. Waters hinged largely on a series of e-mails between Mr. Moore and OneUnited, which may suggest that Ms. Waters’s office continued to lobby on behalf of the bank, although Mr. Moore has argued that he was primarily on the receiving end of the messages.
A person directly involved in the investigation said the new e-mails could show that members of her staff continued to work on the bank’s behalf.
“It may directly contradict a bit of Maxine’s story, if not the actual facts, the way she has told it,” said the person, who did not want to be identified because of the sensitivity of the trial.November 2010

TAX AND SPEND DEMOCRATS
May 23, 2007
Without much notice, Democrats have passed a budget resolution that would allow most of the Bush tax cuts to expire at the end of 2010. Allowing this to happen would constitute the largest tax increase in American history, says the National Review.
The Democrats argue that their budget does not necessarily assume tax increases, although it projects higher spending and budget surpluses that couldn't be accomplished any other way, says the National Review:
- As Brian Riedl of the Heritage Foundation noted, the Democrats' budget assumes that revenues will be $721 billion higher than the Congressional Budget Office estimates.
- That's suspiciously close to the amount of money taxpayers are projected to save if the Bush tax cuts remain in place.
- In fact, if one assumes that the Democrats preserve marriage-penalty relief, the child-tax-credit expansion and the 10 percent income tax bracket -- the cuts they are inclined to keep -- then the difference between the two amounts is erased.
- The Democrats' budget increases discretionary spending by 9 percent, setting aside more money for hundreds of duplicative and ineffective government programs.
- It also allows for the reauthorization of corporate welfare such as the Advanced Technology Program and massively wasteful farm programs.
- Through these programs, the federal government directly transfers billions of dollars each year from taxpayers to some of the nation's most successful large companies, including IBM and Archer Daniels Midland.
The Democrats' budget is just as notable for what it doesn't include, says the National Review. It does nothing to reduce massive unfunded liabilities in Social Security and Medicare, and doesn't provide a permanent solution to the Alternative Minimum Tax problem. In fact, the only thing that seems certain are increased taxes on dividends and capital gains, and a big tax hikes for middle-class families.

Real joy comes, when one does something new in life;
Creativity and inventiveness are the magic wands to
Produce great achievements that bring joy incredible
As one can enjoy serendipity happening in such acts!
All days of creativity are very interesting sure
Making one least bored all day long and it makes
Time is not enough for one not just one day but
Everyday and the time moves fast before one sleeps!
In sleeps too, dreams of great wonder always occupy
One who enjoys everyday in some creative or inventive
Work from the morning to the night and sleeps feeling
Not satisfied by doing interesting work with full zeal!
For the creative person, time is not enough and one
Doesn't get satisfaction till one perfects in work!
