SUPREME COURT OF ARKANSAS
LAURA ALLEN, INDIVIDUALLY AND AS CO-TRUSTEE OF THE THOMAS H. ALLEN AND LAURA ALLEN REVOCABLE TRUST AGREEMENT DATED OCTOBER 22, 2001, PETITIONER, VS. CIRCUIT COURT OF PULASKI COUNTY, NINTH DIVISION, RESPONDENT
Opinion Delivered 4-2-09
PETITION FOR WRIT OF PROHIBITION
ROBERT L. BROWN, Associate Justice
Petitioner Laura Allen, individually and as co-trustee of the Thomas H. Allen and Laura Allen Joint Revocable Trust Agreement, petitions this court for a writ of prohibition to prevent the respondent, the Pulaski County Circuit Court, Ninth Division (“the Ninth Division”), from exercising jurisdiction over the complaint styled Kay Allen Bird, individually and as trustee of the Clytie Carolyn Allen Trust #2 v. Laura Seibs, formerly Laura Allen, individually and as co-trustee of the Thomas H. “Bill” Allen and Laura Allen Joint Revocable Trust Agreement dated October 22, 2001, CV2007-485. We deny the petition for writ of prohibition.
The relevant facts are these. In 1988, Dr. Thomas H. “Bill” Allen quitclaimed his interest in his home, Longfellow Place, in Little Rock, to his then-wife Carolyn Allen. Carolyn Allen died in 1989, and, pursuant to her will, title to Longfellow Place vested in the Clytie Carolyn Allen Trust #2 (“the Carolyn Allen Trust”). This trust provided that Longfellow Place, the trust’s only asset, was held in trust for Dr. Allen, and the couple’s two daughters, Kay Allen Bird and Lori Allen. The trust named Dr. Allen as trustee and Kay Allen Bird as the successor trustee.
In 1992, Dr. Allen married Laura Allen, the petitioner in this case. In 1998, Dr. Allen, as trustee of the Carolyn Allen Trust, and Laura Allen, his wife, sold Longfellow Place. The net proceeds from the sale were $ 567,780.00, which Dr. Allen and Laura Allen used to build a new house at 5820 North Country Club Boulevard in Little Rock (“the Country Club house”). On October 21, 2001, Dr. Allen and Laura Allen created the Dr. Thomas H. Allen and Laura Allen Joint Revocable Trust (“the Joint Revocable Trust”), which provided that all trust property was divided equally into two separate trusts, one each for Dr. Allen and Laura Allen, and that at the death of either party, his or her trust passes to the survivor’s trust with the survivor as sole trustee for his or her benefit. At the survivor’s death, the remaining trust property was to pass equally to the surviving children and grandchildren of Dr. Allen and Laura Allen.1 Dr. Allen and Laura Allen transferred title to the Country Club house to the Joint Revocable Trust in December 2001.
In 2004, a guardianship action concerning Dr. Allen, In Re: Dr. Allen H. “Bill” Allen, an Incapacitated Person, No. PGD 2004-0603, was commenced in Pulaski County Circuit Court and assigned to the Ninth Division. On February 17, 2005, the Ninth Division found Dr. Allen to be incapacitated due to Alzheimer’s disease and appointed Lori Allen as guardian of Dr. Allen’s person and Bank of the Ozarks as guardian of Dr. Allen’s estate. Subsequent to the guardianship action, Dr. Allen’s two daughters and one grandchild filed a civil action in Pulaski County Circuit Court—Kay Allen Bird, Lori Allen, and Carolyn Bird v. Bank of the Ozarks, as Guardian of the Estate of Thomas H. “Bill” Allen and Laura Allen, as Co-trustees of the Thomas H. “Bill” Allen and Laura Allen Joint Revocable Trust Dated October 22, 2001, No. CV 2004-11842—seeking the imposition of a constructive trust over the assets of the Joint Revocable Trust, including the Country Club house. This case was also assigned to the Ninth Division of the Pulaski County Circuit Court.
In an order dated March 13, 2006, the Ninth Division imposed a constructive trust on the assets of the Joint Revocable Trust that were the result of the Longfellow Place sale in an amount equal to $567,820.00. The Ninth Division found that “the Carolyn Allen Trust was essentially gutted and the proceeds from the sale of the Longfellow Place home were then placed in the Joint Revocable Trust”; that the proceeds of the Longfellow Place sale were not used for the stated purpose of the Carolyn Allen Trust; and that the proceeds unjustly enriched Laura Allen, who was not a beneficiary under the Carolyn Allen Trust. Laura Allen filed a notice of appeal from this order on April 12, 2006.
On April 19, 2006, Laura Allen filed for divorce from Dr. Allen in Pulaski County Circuit Court. The case, Laura Allen v. Thomas “Bill” Allen, DR 2006-2052, was assigned to the Sixteenth Division. On May 30, 2006, Laura Allen filed a motion for stay pending appeal of the March 13, 2006 judgment in the constructive-trust case, CV 2004-11842, which the Ninth Division granted in an order dated June 6, 2006. This order also authorized Laura Allen to sell the Country Club house, which was subject to the constructive trust.
On July 19, 2006, the various parties in the various lawsuits reached and executed a Family Settlement Agreement.2 This agreement provided, among other things, that the divorce action, DR 2006-2052, would be finalized by an absolute divorce and that Laura Allen would dismiss her appeal in the constructive-trust case, CV 2004-11842, and put the Country Club house up for immediate sale with $568,000 of the net proceeds from the sale going to the Carolyn Allen Trust. On July 20, 2006, by order in the guardianship case, PGD 2004-0603, the Ninth Division approved the execution of the Family Settlement Agreement by Bank of the Ozarks, as guardian of Dr. Allen’s estate, and Lori Allen, as guardian of Dr. Allen’s person, and authorized the parties to take the necessary steps to implement the terms of the agreement. On July 27, 2006, the Sixteenth Division entered a decree of final divorce in Allen v. Allen, DR 2006-2052, which incorporated the Family Settlement Agreement. In its decree, the Sixteenth Division retained jurisdiction over the parties to enter additional orders.
On October 10, 2006, Kay Allen Bird and Lori Allen filed a motion to enforce the Family Settlement Agreement with the Ninth Division in both the constructive-trust case, CV 2004-11842, and the guardianship case, PGD 2004-0603. On January 11, 2007, Kay Allen Bird, as trustee of the Carolyn Allen Trust, filed a new civil lawsuit against Laura Allen—Kay Allen Bird, individually and as Trustee of the Clytie Carolyn Allen Trust #2 v. Laura Siebs, formerly Laura Allen, individually and as Co-Trustee of the Thomas H. “Bill” Allen and Laura Allen Joint Revocable Trust Agreement dated October 22, 2001, No. CV 2007-485—which was assigned to the Pulaski County Circuit Court, Twelfth Division (“the Twelfth Division”). The motion to enforce the Family Settlement Agreement and the new civil action sought essentially the same remedies—namely, that Laura Allen be ordered to sell the Country Club house in accordance with the Family Settlement Agreement and to pay for insurance and utilities on the house prior to sale.
On October 19, 2006, Laura Allen moved to dismiss the motion to enforce the Family Settlement Agreement pending in the Ninth Division and filed an answer and a motion to dismiss in the Twelfth Division on February 1, 2007. In her pleadings, she asserted that both the Ninth and Twelfth Divisions lacked jurisdiction because the Sixteenth Division retained jurisdiction over the Family Settlement Agreement under the terms of the divorce decree. On February 5, 2007, Kay Allen Bird moved to transfer CV 2007-485 from the Twelfth Division to the Ninth Division. Laura Allen responded to the motion to transfer on February 7, 2007, and reasserted her position that neither division had jurisdiction because the Sixteenth Division retained jurisdiction per the divorce decree.
On February 16, 2007, Dr. Allen died. Lori Allen and Kay Allen Bird then moved to withdraw their motion to enforce the Family Settlement Agreement in the guardianship case, PGD 2004-0603, and the constructive trust case, CV 2004-11842. The Ninth Division granted the motion to withdraw on March 13, 2007. Dr. Allen’s death resulted in Kay Allen Bird becoming successor trustee. She then moved to substitute Lori Allen as party plaintiff in place of herself as trustee of the Carolyn Allen Trust, in case CV 2007-485. The Twelfth Division granted the motion to substitute parties plaintiff on April 27, 2007. On May 9, 2007, on the agreement of the Ninth and Twelfth Divisions, case CV 2007-485 was transferred from the Twelfth Division to the Ninth Division.
After CV 2007-485 was transferred to the Ninth Division, Kay Allen Bird and Lori Allen moved for a temporary restraining order on August 25, 2008, and filed an amended motion for a temporary restraining order on September 11, 2008. Both motions, in part, sought to restrain Laura Allen from leasing the Country Club house. In her response, Laura Allen again denied that the Ninth Division had jurisdiction of the matter. Following a hearing in the Ninth Division on the temporary-restraining-order motion and Laura Allen’s motion to dismiss, the Ninth Division denied both the motion for a temporary restraining order and Laura Allen’s motion to dismiss on September 26, 2008, and ordered Laura Allen to have the Country Club house appraised within forty-five days from the date of the hearing. In denying Laura Allen’s motion to dismiss, the Ninth Division said that a “major obstacle” to her argument that the Sixteenth Division had exclusive jurisdiction of the matter was the fact that only one of the parties to the Family Settlement Agreement was before the Sixteenth Division in the divorce case, whereas the present action involved all of the necessary parties. On October 24, 2008, Laura Allen filed her petition for a writ of prohibition with this court, which is the matter before us today.
In her prohibition petition, Laura Allen urges this court to issue a writ to prevent the Ninth Division from acting without jurisdiction over the Family SettlementAgreement. She claims that the Sixteenth Division obtained exclusive jurisdiction under the common-law principle of concurrent jurisdiction because the Sixteenth Division was the first division to exercise jurisdiction over the Family Settlement Agreement when it incorporated the agreement into the terms of the divorce decree on July 27, 2006. Additionally, Laura Allen urges that the respondents voluntarily submitted themselves to the jurisdiction of the Sixteenth Division “by virtue of their agreement to incorporate the distributions made under the agreement into the divorce decree”; that the Family Settlement Agreement, which was incorporated into the Sixteenth Division’s decree, benefitted the respondent, and, as such, the respondents could enforce the agreement in the Sixteenth Division in accordance with Arkansas Rule of Civil Procedure 71;3 and that the respondents were in privity with Dr. Allen in the divorce action.
Respondent, the Ninth Division, recognizes the common-law principle of concurrent jurisdiction in its response, but asserts that the Ninth Division was the first to exercise jurisdiction in this case. The Ninth Division argues that the underlying subject matter is the Country Club house and the constructive trust over it, which was at issue in both the Ninth Division guardianship case and the Ninth Division constructive-trust case, both of which were filed prior to the divorce case in the Sixteenth Division. The Ninth Division notes that this fact is evidenced by the Family Settlement Agreement itself, which explicitly dealt with the issues already pending in the Ninth Division. The Ninth Division argues, in the alternative, that a writ of prohibition is inappropriate in this case because it has already acted in denying Laura Allen’s motion to dismiss and because Laura Allen has not shown that she lacks the alternative remedy of an appeal.
Separate respondents, Kay Allen Bird and Lori Allen, also assert that the Ninth Division was the first to exercise jurisdiction over this matter and specifically point to the Ninth Division’s July 20, 2006 order authorizing Bank of the Ozarks as guardian of Dr. Allen’s estate and Lori Allen as guardian of Dr. Allen’s person to execute the Family Settlement Agreement, which was seven days before the Sixteenth Division’s entry of the divorce decree. The separate respondents further argue that only the Ninth Division had personal jurisdiction over Kay Allen Bird and Lori Allen, individually and as guardian of Dr. Allen’s person, and that Ark. R. Civ. P. 71 states that a non-party to an action “may” enforce an order, and, thus, it is not mandatory. As a final point, the separate respondents claim that Laura Allen waived the right to contest the jurisdiction of the Ninth Division by failing to timely appeal the Twelfth Division’s May 9, 2006 order transferring the case from the Twelfth to the Ninth Division.
This court has repeatedly stated that a writ of prohibition is an extraordinary remedy that is only appropriate when the lower court is wholly without subject matter jurisdiction. See, e.g., Ulmer v. Circuit Court of Polk County, 366 Ark. 212, 234 S.W.3d 290 (2006). Subject matter jurisdiction is the power of the court to hear and determine the subject matter in controversy between the parties. Id. In Conner v. Simes, we succinctly explained the standard of review for a writ of prohibition:
The writ is appropriate only when there is no other remedy, such as an appeal, available. Prohibition is a proper remedy when the jurisdiction of the trial court depends upon a legal rather than a factual question. This court confines its review to the pleadings in the case. Moreover, prohibition is never issued to prohibit a trial court from erroneously exercising its jurisdiction. Additionally, a writ of prohibition is not the appropriate remedy for the denial of a motion to dismiss.
Conner v. Simes, 355 Ark. 422, 425–26, 139 S.W.3d 476, 478 (2003). Finally, this court will not issue a writ of prohibition for something that has already been done. Holmes v. Lessenberry, 297 Ark. 23, 759 S.W.2d 37 (1988) (per curiam). Where the circuit court’s order was entered without or in excess of jurisdiction, this court has, on occasion, carved through the technicalities and treated a petition for a writ of prohibition as a petition for a writ of certiorari. Simes, 355 Ark. at 428, 139 S.W.3d at 479.
We conclude that the Ninth Division has already acted on this matter in the guardianship case, PGD 2004-0603, the constructive trust case, CV 2004-11842, and the present action, CV 2007-485. Accordingly, relief in the form of a writ of prohibition does not lie. See Holmes v. Lessenberry, supra. Nevertheless, this court has, on occasion, treated a petition for writ of prohibition as a petition for writ of certiorari. See Simes, 355 Ark. at 428, 139 S.W.3d at 479.
A writ of certiorari is a remedy used to quash irregular proceedings. Lenser v. McGowan, 358 Ark. 423, 191 S.W.3d 506 (2004). This court has said:
Certiorari lies to correct proceedings erroneous upon the face of the record when there is no other adequate remedy. Certiorari is available in the exercise of this court’s superintending control over a tribunal which is proceeding illegally where no other mode of review has been provided. However, certiorari may not be used to look beyond the face of the record to ascertain the actual merits of a controversy, to control discretion, to review a finding upon facts or review the exercise of a court’s discretionary authority. Certiorari is appropriate where a party claims that a lower court did not have jurisdiction to hear a claim or to issue a particular type of remedy.
Evans v. Blankenship, 374 Ark. 104, __ S.W.3d __ (2008). A writ of certiorari is extraordinary relief, and lies only where it is clear on the face of the record that there has been “a plain, manifest, clear, and gross abuse of discretion, and there is no other adequate remedy.” Simes, 355 Ark. at 428, 139 S.W.3d at 480.
Laura Allen is correct that this court has long recognized the common-law rule on concurrent jurisdiction, also known as the jurisdictional-priority rule: “Where concurrent jurisdiction is vested in different tribunals, ‘the first exercising jurisdiction rightfully acquires control to the exclusion of, and without interference of, the other.’” Patterson v. Isom, 338 Ark. 234, 239, 992 S.W.2d 792, 795 (1999) (quoting Tortorich v. Tortorich, 324 Ark. 128, 131, 919 S.W.2d 213, 214 (1996)); see also Askew v. Murdock Acceptance Corp., 225 Ark. 68, 279 S.W.2d 557 (1955); Bradley v. State, 32 Ark. 722 (1878). In Askew, this court gave the rationale behind the rule, saying:
The principle is essential to the proper and orderly administration of the laws; and while its observance might be required on the grounds of judicial comity and courtesy, it does not rest upon such considerations exclusively, but is enforced to prevent unseemly, expensive, and dangerous conflicts of jurisdiction and of process. If interference may come from one side, it may from the other also, and what is begun may be reciprocated indefinitely.
Askew, 225 Ark. at 72, 279 S.W.2d at 560 (citations omitted).
In Edwards v. Nelson, 372 Ark. 300, 275 S.W.3d 158 (2008), this court reiterated the governing jurisdictional-priority rule:
Where two actions between the same parties on the same subject, and to test the same rights, are brought in different courts having concurrent jurisdiction, the court which first acquires jurisdiction, its power being adequate to the administration of complete justice, retains its jurisdiction and may dispose of the whole controversy, and no court of coordinate power is at liberty to interfere with its action. This rule rests on comity and the necessity of avoiding conflict in the execution of judgments by independent courts, and is a necessary one because any other rule would unavoidably lead to perpetual collision and be productive of most calamitous results.
Id. at 303-04, 275 S.W.3d at 161 (quoting Askew, 225 Ark. at 72-73, 279 S.W.2d at 560-61). Moreover, this court has granted a writ of certiorari on the basis of the common-law concurrent jurisdiction rule. See Foster v. Hill, 372 Ark. 263, 275 S.W.3d 151 (2008) (holding that the concurrent jurisdiction rule was one ground for granting a writ of certiorari preventing a division of the Circuit Court of Crittenden County from acting on a matter, over which a coordinate division had already exercised jurisdiction).4
The parties before this court are in profound disagreement over which division of the Pulaski County Circuit Court, the Ninth or the Sixteenth, first exercised jurisdiction over this matter. To summarize, Laura Allen asserts that the Sixteenth Division was the first division to exercise jurisdiction over the Family Settlement Agreement when it incorporated that agreement into the terms of the divorce decree on July 27, 2006. The Ninth Division classifies the underlying subject matter of this dispute as the Country Club house and maintains that it first exercised jurisdiction over this matter in both the guardianship case and the constructive trust case, which were filed in the Ninth Division prior to the filing of the divorce case in the Sixteenth Division. In addition, Kay Allen Bird and Lori Allen state that the Ninth Division was the first division to exercise jurisdiction over the Family Settlement Agreement when it authorized the execution of the agreement by the guardians in its order of July 20, 2006, which was seven days before the Sixteenth Division entered the divorce decree.
We conclude that the jurisdictional-priority rule does not operate to prevent the Ninth Division from acting on this matter. As already stated, a writ of certiorari is extraordinary relief and lies only when it is clear on the face of the record that there has been “a plain, manifest, clear, and gross abuse of discretion.” Simes, 355 Ark. at 428, 139 S.W.3d at 480. This requirement has not been met in the instant case.
We are persuaded by these facts: (1) the Family Settlement Agreement binds the parties in three separate causes of action, two of which were filed in the Ninth Division and decided by that division prior to the Sixteenth Division’s entry of the divorce decree; (2) the constructive-trust action in the Ninth Division established the respondents’ right to the proceeds from the sale of Longfellow Place, which was subsequently memorialized in the Family Settlement Agreement; (3) only one signatory to the Family Settlement Agreement was a party to the divorce action; (4) the Ninth Division issued an order authorizing the execution of the settlement agreement prior to the Sixteenth Division’s incorporation of the Family Settlement Agreement into the divorce decree; and (5) the instant case, an action for specific performance pending in the Ninth Division, named all the parties to the Family Settlement Agreement.
In short, it is clear to this court that the Ninth Division first took jurisdiction over matters that formed the heart of this dispute in the guardianship case, PGD 2004-0603, the constructive trust case, CV 2004-11842, and the present action, CV 2007-485. Because of this history, we cannot say that the circuit judge in the Ninth Division committed a plain, manifest, clear, and gross abuse of discretion in her actions with regard to the Family Settlement Agreement in CV 2007-485 or in any other proceedings involving the Family Settlement Agreement. Furthermore, we do not view an appeal as an adequate remedy under these facts because of the immediate need to avoid a dangerous conflict between divisions of the circuit court over which division has subject-matter jurisdiction to dispense justice. See Edwards v. Nelson, supra; Askew v. Murdock Acceptance Corp., supra.
Writ of prohibition denied.

Over the past few decades, computer technology has advanced considerably. We have made significant advancements as a result of computers' exponential growth in size and power. We must find new solutions since we are quickly reaching the physical limits of the size of computer components. Quantum computing can be said as the solution to this. Here, we examine the fundamentals of quantum computing, including a definition, a look at how the technology's benefits across various fields
Quantum computing: What is it?
Qubits, which are quantum informational units, are used in the processing of data in quantum computing. Compared to classical computers, quantum computers are quicker at finding answers to issues and are also more equipped to consider alternative approaches.
Currently, quantum computing is a well-known and popular technology.The fundamental elements of quantum energy are made up of separate components like matter, as opposed to being a continuous wave.Elementary particles of matter and energy can behave either like particles or like waves, depending on the situation. Fundamental particles move in unexpected ways due to their inherent unpredictability. The position and momentum of a particle are two complementing variables that are challenging to measure simultaneously. The more accurately one number is measured, the more erroneous the measurement of the other value will be.
Based on quantum theory, computers are tremendously quick and efficient when used properly. They are capable of performing calculations that would take conventional computers decades or perhaps millennia to complete.
Advantages of Quantum Computing
Experts frequently stress the prominence of quantum computing's superiority. Quantum computations have great promise for analyses and simulations of extremely complicated processes involving vast volumes of data. The mathematical and science departments in particular see the significant potential here, along with digital marketing. A deeper and more thorough understanding of the interactions between individual particles, components, and the functions of living cells could be aided by quantum computers. However, there are also possible medical uses.
Advanced cryptography is the application that most people relate quantum computing with. It is impossible to crack encryption that makes use of very big prime number factorization (300+ integers) using the common machines we use today. This decryption might be made simple with quantum computers, providing considerably stronger safety for our digital lives and possessions. Naturally, we'll be able to crack conventional encryption considerably more quickly as well.
Quantum technology may make it possible to model considerably more intricate computer scenarios, such as those found in aviation. Significant time and financial advantages for businesses come from assisting with aircraft scheduling and routing. To take use of the computing power and the optimization potential of the technology, major corporations across the world are actively researching and investing in the field.
Large-scale problems can be solved with the aid of quantum physics and quantum computing. Due to the large data set, calculations in the discipline of topological analysis, where geometric objects behave in specified ways, are described as being simply impractical on common computers used today. To analyze the vast amounts of data they get about the cosmos and to investigate more effective and secure means of space travel, top space agency across the world is considering employing quantum computing.
Numerous scenarios require the prediction and forecasting of big and complicated data sets. The number of inputs that conventional simulation of, say, the weather can manage is constrained. If you overcomplicate the simulation, it will take longer than usual for the weather to change. According to experts weather influences a quarter of the GDP of a particular country, therefore being able to predict it more precisely would be quite beneficial economically.
It is extremely beneficial to identify patterns in data and use those patterns to forecast new patterns. Many automobile manufacturers are now investigating how they may use quantum computing to alert drivers a few minutes in advance of traffic conditions. With the advent of quantum computers, it will be possible for computers to match traffic patterns and forecast the behavior of a system that is as complicated as present traffic.
When you think that certain chemical composition could be a medicine given to billions of people, each with tiny variations in their makeup, the number of possible reactions across the human body is literally in the trillions. Quantum computing can a used as a key in manufacturing them for an accurate result.
Today, finding a novel treatment and bringing it to market can take pharmaceutical corporations up to 10 years and frequently billions of dollars. Quantum computing can significantly reduce costs and time to market, make it easier to reuse already-approved medications for new uses, and enable computational chemists to generate discoveries more quickly that may result in the treatment of a variety of ailments.
Driverless automobile inventions are being actively developed by top automakers like Tesla and technology giants like Apple and Google. These will help section of society with comfort but also reduce pollution, ease traffic, and provide several other advantages. Google is currently employing quantum computers to develop technology for batteries, transportation, and self-driving vehicles.
Things to keep in mind
The research into this issue is still ongoing, but there has been little progress in finding a solution.
Qubits are not used for traditional error rectification since they are not digital bits.
The biggest drawback of quantum computing is that the technology needed to implement it is still in the evolutionary stage.
Quantum logical operations need five times as much energy as traditional computer operations.
The workload for the CPU and efficiency issues.
Decoherence is destroyed and the wave function collapses into a single state when any kind of measurement is made to a quantum system.
Although the full benefits of quantum computing won't be realized for some time, the early research and applications have incredible potential.

Perhaps, just perhaps, if the Detroit Lions were able to draft Dee Milliner, a year from now draft talk wouldn’t drift to cornerback the way it always seems to do.
Milliner out of Alabama, the national championship team, is a bit untested. But he’s universally ranked as the best cornerback in April’s NFL draft.
ESPN draftnik Mel Kiper projects that he will be drafted fourth, fifth or sixth overall.
The Lions have the No. 5 overall pick.
In his latest mock draft, Kiper has Milliner going to the Eagles at No. 4. Three NFL Network draft experts – Gil Brandt, Bucky Brooks and Charles Davis – have Milliner going to the Lions.
ESPN’s Todd McShay has him going third to Oakland. CBS Sports’ Rob Rang has him 13th to Tampa Bay while his colleague Dane Brugler has the Browns drafting him at No. 6.
It’s still early. The NFL Combine is next week which could change some minds.
“Can Dee Milliner be a heck of a player? Yeah. Does he have an elite skill set? No. He wasn’t a starter until this year at Alabama,” Kiper said in a conference call on Wednesday.
Yet he said just because Milliner doesn’t have the elite skill set it doesn’t mean he’s not going to be a heck of a player.
Milliner’s former teammate, Dre Kirkpatrick, was drafted 17th overall last year by Cincinnati.
“(Milliner) doesn’t necessarily have the overall talent physically and athletically as Dre Kirkpatrick, his former teammate,” Kiper said. “But he is more fundamentally sound. I think he’s a guy technically, the way he’s coached by Nick (Saban) and his staff down there, it’s only going to help him.
“He’s the kind of guy, because you need corners, and he’s a solid, consistent, reliable player he’s going to go four, five or six,” Kiper added.
Because the talent in each draft varies, it’s hard to compare the order to past elite corners. Mo Claiborne was drafted sixth overall in 2012, while corner Patrick Peterson was fifth in 2011.
“It doesn’t matter about that because each draft is different because of the talent at the top,” Kiper said. “That’s going to be the reason why that Milliner goes maybe a little earlier than those other players because of the way this draft is set up, when it’s all said and done.”
It seems it’s always cornerbacks on the wish list for the Lions when it comes to the draft.
It’s such a position of need that last year the Lions drafted three of them – Bill Bentley (third round), Chris Greenwood (fifth round) and Jonte Green (sixth round).
The need is still there. Chris Houston is an unrestricted free agent who undoubtedly the Lions will try to re-sign.
While there were promising signs from Bentley who earned the start out of training camp, he’s still a question mark because he played in just four games then missed the rest of the season after shoulder surgery.
Green, who managed to stay healthy, showed he has possibilities playing in 15 games with five starts.
Greenwood was out all year after surgery to repair an abdominal tear in late spring.
Wilson to visit
Veteran safety George Wilson, who was released by the Buffalo Bills on Monday, will visit the Lions on Thursday as was first reported by CBS Sports.
The 31-year-old Wilson has been a starter for the past two seasons after making the transition from wide receiver in 2007.
Not only is safety a need for the Lions, but the 31-year-old Wilson could bring that much desired veteran leadership too. In his eight seasons with Buffalo, he was voted a team captain five times.
Tim Walton, who had been the Lions defensive backs coach for four seasons, has been hired by the St. Louis Rams as defensive coordinator.
Prior to joining the Lions, Walton had been defensive coordinator for the University of Memphis.

New Year’s resolutions are for the birds. At least that is what the media wants us to believe as they spout out how most of us make hefty resolutions only to fail time and time again. Personally, I love making over-the-top resolutions. I make quite a long list of things I want to change about myself and do for others. I find a category everything falls under, and then I narrow it down to one word. I use that word to give meaning to my entire year. When I’m feeling frustrated, or tired, or simply not amused, I remember my word and everything I have done to make it happen. We can all stay in touch with one word, right?
My word this year: Family
Speaking of family and traditions, New Year’s Day has rules, ya’ll! Real simple rules to follow in order to gather up luck for the year ahead. One of those rules is to make a big ole pot of porky black eyed peas, rice, corn bread and greens to bring on the prosperity. The recipe below is tried and true. I learned it at my parent’s side since they cooked it every year since I can remember.
Happy New Years, to my friends and family! May your year be filled with delicious food and lots of love.
(Recipe adapted from Emeril and many years at my parents side)
Time in Kitchen: 1.5 hours
Prep time: 15 minutes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or bacon drippings)
- 1 ham hock (or smoked turkey leg for a healthier alternative)
- 1 vidalia onion, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 large green pepper, chopped
- 2 carrots, chopped (not traditional, but I like to sneak in veggies)
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 to 2 teaspoons kosher salt, to taste
- 1 pound frozen black eyed peas
- 4 cups low sodium chicken stock
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 can organic low sodium diced tomatoes
- 6 green onions, diced
- Tabasco Sauce, for serving
- 4 cups cooked long grain white rice, for serving
- In a large Dutch oven, heat oil until it ripples. Add the ham hock (or smoked turkey leg) and sear on all sides. Add the onion, celery, green pepper, carrots, and garlic, salt and pepper to taste; cook until translucent; about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the frozen black-eyed peas, stock, bay leaves, thyme, Cajun seasoning, and diced tomatoes. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to simmer and cook for 40-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peas are creamy and tender.
- Remove ham hock (or smoked turkey leg), pull off meat. Discard bone and place meat back in the pot.
- Remove bay leaves.
- Serve Hoppin' John over rice sprinkled with green onions and a dash of hot sauce. Serve with a side of corn bread and greens for a traditional New Year's feast.

Sledgehammer Games finally announced the new Call of Duty: Vanguard, which will release in November.
Call of Duty: Vanguard Trailer
The new character is a shooter set during world war II, inspired by the single-player campaign and a multiplayer mode like Call of Duty Zombies and Warzone. The announcement comes from the parent company of Sledgehammer, Activision Blizzard. Above all, developer Blizzard has faced a lawsuit due to sexual harassment in California. Most of the employees walked out, moreover many high-profile developers left the Blizzard studio, including Allen Brack.
Aaron Halon stated in the last press release:
The pain that we shared is devastating. We love creating games. It’s what we admire to do. It’s our life’s work and that we are passionate about. However, we’re humans. We are looking for each other in good and bad times. Thus on behalf of Sledgehammer Games and every one of the teams supporting the decision of Duty: Vanguard, harassment of any kind goes against everything we tend to indicate as a studio. Despite their title, role, gender, orientation, or quality, everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and equality.
We can’t discuss the lawsuit. What I can say as a team is; we want to create a certain environment in which all team members feel safe, welcome. Please recognize that these thoughts and are at the top of our minds and can be going forward. They speak to the core values of who we are to would like to be.
Call of Duty: Vanguard’s further information
Now let’s back to the game Vanguard; the core of Vanguard is a single-player campaign, science fiction writer Tochi is working on its story. The shooter is focusing on the origin of the special force. The narrative will cover the untold stories of numerous heroes of Task Force One. It’ll feature characters inspired by real personalities; such s Lyudmil Pavlichenko, also known as Lady Death.
There are 20 maps in the game modes, including Champion Hill. The best thing is that Champion Hill players can play in squads of 2 or 3. Zombies twist still there developed by Black Ops Studio, which connected the previous Call of Duty story to the Vanguard’s one.
Raven Software’s leading the Vanguard map for the Royal spinoff Warzone battle. However, a new map that’ll launch in the last of this year is accompanied by New Anti Cheat System.
Preorder Listing spotted on Amazon

A group of real estate experts downplayed the possibility of a Japan-like property bubble burst at a forum hosted by the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry last month.
Participants who shared the view that South Korea’s property market is different from Japan included professor Choi Hee-gap from Ajou University.
Choi said that Japan suffered a property market crash – which was initiated by enterprises in the 1980s – in the wake of policymakers rapid hikes in interest rates in the 1990s.
“Unlike the Japanese case, Korea saw the expansion of the realty market on the back of active investment of households,” he argued.
“Further, thanks to financial authorities strict regulations on mortgage loans over the past several years, a bubble in housing prices is not so big.”
But he added that the government should implement detailed measures to cope with the aging society and resolve worries over a sharp drop in housing prices.
Kim Deok-ryeh, a researcher at Korea Housing Institute, said whether the sluggish real estate market will be revitalised depends on the pending bill on easing regulations, the coming presidential elections and the eurozone fiscal crisis.
Among the participants were officials from the Ministry of Land, Transportation and Maritime Affairs, Hyundai Research Institute, Citizens Coalition for Economic Justice and the Korea Housing Builders Association.
About 180 business leaders also participated in the KCCI forum as observers.
Meanwhile, Hyundai Research Institute recently warned that Korea may follow in the footsteps of Spain and Ireland as the country is now past its demographic window, the period when the percentage of people able to work reaches its peak.
We must be mindful of the possibility of a property bubble burst as a sharp fall in the proportion of the working age population cuts demand for real estate,” an HRI analyst said in the report titled Time to Prepare for Demographic Bonus 2.0.”
He said that Japan, the US, Spain and Ireland all faced real estate bubble bursts and financial crises amid plummeting asset demand as the working age population fell from its peak.
Korea has so far benefited from a demographic bonus with a growing working age population, or people aged between 15 and 64, offering more potential for high economic growth as smaller ratios of dependents to workers tend to boost savings and investment in human capital. But not anymore, the report said.
“Between 1966 and 2012, Korea enjoyed a demographic bonus, in which the rising share of the working age population and the decreasing costs of supporting dependents spurred economic growth,” it said.

Along with the rest of the state, precinct-level Democratic Farmer/Labor Party caucuses will convene in central Minnesota at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 4.
Precinct caucuses for local residents include the following: St. Joseph Precincts 1 and 2, St. Joseph and St. Wendel townships meet at Kennedy Discovery School; St. Joseph Township Precinct 2 meets at Discovery; and Collegeville Townships Precincts 1 and 2 meet at the P. Engel Science Center, St. John’s University.
District 13 encompasses 47 city and rural precincts in western Benton and eastern Stearns Counties, including Sartell, St. Joseph and Avon cities, and surrounding rural Stearns County townships. Party caucuses are held in February each election year and represent the kick-off of the political campaign season for both major Minnesota political parties. For both political parties, the caucuses are the occasions for choosing local party leaders, discussion and voting on resolutions for possible inclusion in the state party platforms, as well as election of delegates to district conventions.
Two DFL candidates have announced their intentions for the 6th Congressional District House seat, now occupied by Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Stillwater), who announced she will not seek a fifth term. The two candidates who are seeking the DFL endorsement for that seat are Sartell mayor Joe Perske and St. John’s University professor Jim Read, a resident of Avon.
Four Republican candidates – Tom Emmer, Rhonda Sivarajah; Phil Krinkie; and Allan Levene – are vying for the Republican endorsement for that 6th District Congressional seat.
Precinct caucuses are open to the public but in order to vote, offer resolutions or become a delegate, attendees must be eligible to vote in the next general election, live in the precinct and be in general agreement with the principles of the political party.
DFL party information
DFL Chairman Ken Martin said precinct caucuses are a great way for people to meet their neighbors, discuss issues important to their community and serve as the unofficial start to the 2014 election season.
“DFLers have a lot to talk about as we get ready to reelect Gov. Dayton, Sen. Franken, our congressional delegation, and a House DFL majority,” Martin said. “Gov. Dayton said he would Build a Better Minnesota and with the support of DFL legislators and Minnesotans, that’s what he has done. And despite Washington being far too paralyzed and dominated by special interests, Sen. Franken has been effective for Minnesota by finding commonsense solutions to the issues that matter most to our families. I encourage DFLers to come together Feb. 4 and talk about these accomplishments.
“Gov. Dayton turned a $5.5 billion budget deficit into a surplus, more Minnesotans are working since he took office, Minnesota has a fairer tax system, and people are free to marry who they love. Minnesota has the fifth fastest growing state economy in the U.S. With free all-day kindergarten for all students, a tuition freeze at state colleges and universities and affordable, accessible health care for every Minnesotan, Gov. Dayton and DFL leaders have made investments that will provide long-term prosperity for the state.”
Martin said Sen. Franken held insurance companies accountable by forcing them to spend people’s premium dollars on actual health care, not things like marketing or CEO salaries.
“Sen. Franken passed legislation to help make sure our medications are safe and is working to protect Americans’ privacy as technology makes more of our personal information accessible,’ Martin said. “He is also a fearless advocate for middle class families — whether it’s strengthening the economy by bringing businesses and community colleges together to fill high-skilled jobs, fighting to protect Social Security and Medicare, or working to address college affordability.”
For those new to the precinct caucus process, the Minnesota DFL has developed a video, “What to expect at a precinct caucus.” It can be viewed on the Party’s website at www.dfl.org under “Find Your District.” The website also features a precinct caucus locator for people unsure of where their precinct caucus is held.
All political parties in Minnesota hold caucuses in precincts across the state, at the same time, on the same night, for the same purpose.
For more information, call Buzz Snyder, Senate District 13 DFL chair, at 320-250-4414.
Additional local caucus locations are as follows:
St. Stephen, Sartell Precincts 1-7 and Brockway and LeSauk townships: DFL meets at Sartell High School; Republicans meet at Sartell Middle School.
Avon Township Precincts 1 and 2: DFL and Republicans meet at Avon Elementary School.

Thank you for checking in today! It’s definitely been awhile since my last post! Last Wednesday night, we had a huge snowstorm on the East Coast that knocked out my cable, internet, and phone for three days. Then on Friday, I woke up with a little sniffle and chest congestion that ended up turning into four days sick in bed. It was a pretty rough week! Although everything is back up and running tech wise, I am still not feeling 100% better, though am at the point where I feel good enough to start posting again! If you checked in while I was out, I apologize that there was nothing new for a bit! Thanks so much for checking back! 🙂
Today’s card was made with the Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper and Beautiful Day stamp set. Early last week, I posted a card made with a different design of this paper, which I had colored with Stampin’ Blends Markers. (See it HERE.) For today’s card, I left the paper as is, and just added a gold foil layer, as well as a gold heat embossed sentiment. I love the foil designs and accents of the paper, and think it’s elegant enough that it needs very little extra embellishment! I think this card would also make a very pretty wedding card…the birthday sentiment would just have to be switched to a wedding one!
Don’t forget, the Springtime Foils Paper is only available with a $50 purchase (before tax and shipping) during Sale-a-Bration! There’s only a couple of weeks left, so scoop this paper up while you have the chance! The final day of Sale-a-Bration is March 31st!
Speaking of Sale-a-Bration, Stampin’ Up! just released a whole new set of items that can be earned for FREE between now and March 31st! These are regular catalog items that can be earned with a $50-100 purchase! The only catch is that you need to use the special Sale-a-Bration item numbers shown below to get them for free. Using the regular catalog numbers will add them to your cart at the regular catalog price! Check out the new items just added below:
To shop, please visit the online store HERE.
Here’s a last look at today’s card so you can see the shine of the paper and sentiment! Isn’t that gold and silver just gorgeous?

Build support for mental illness
Once again, there might be signs of life at the Terrance Building.
That's the abandoned, 16-story brick tower, a favorite of graffiti artists, window smashers and urban explorers who are not opposed to trespassing, which sits on a couple of dozen acres along Elmwood Avenue near South Avenue.
Five years ago, the owners of Morgan Management — one of the firms buying the historic Gannett building downtown — and another local company called the ARN Group, took over the Terrance Building, built in the 1950s. But the property remained vacant as other developments began popping up all around it: The Reserve, a luxury residential complex; St. John's Brickstone, a senior living community; and, of course, College Town.
The Terrance Building seemed to have fallen through the cracks, left out of the neighborhood revival.
But now there is word the two real estate developers want to tear down the asbestos-rich Terrance Building to make way for a modern hotel, apartments and an assortment of other buildings and amenities.
This is good news, but it should also serve as a sober reminder.
Because the former inhabitants of the Terrance Building, previously a state psychiatric hospital, were people with mental illness. When the building closed, it signified a shift in the way we were supposed to care for these patients. Unfortunately, that didn't pan out.
Much has been written about the national effort to "deinstitutionalize" people with mental illness, which began in the 1960s. It was an epic fail. While our nation turned these people out of institutions, we did not set up proper supports for them to live successfully on the outside.
"We have replaced the hospital bed with the jail cell, the homeless shelter and the coffin," said Rep. Tim Murphy, R-Pennsyvania, who was quoted in a 2014 USA Today report on the crisis. "How is that compassionate?"
According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, well over half of adults with mental illness — including millions with severe disorders — are not getting treatment. And African-Americans, Latinos and Asians are far less likely than whites to receive care.
Together, cash-strapped states — including New York — have cut billions from public mental health budgets in recent years, while paying dearly for jail cells and hospital beds.
Just as the building on Elmwood, with its broken windows and boarded up doors, seemed to have fallen through the cracks, so have the people who would have once been cared for inside. In many cases, the care former patients received was far from ideal by current standards. But, for so many, these standards are not being met in this day and age, either.
We hope to see the property get the attention it needs. But so should some of the most vulnerable people in our midst who, a few decades ago, might have called it home.

The deep playoff run ended for the Erie Otters Friday following a 6-2 loss to the Oshawa Generals in Game 5 of the Rogers OHL Championship Series.
And so, for the first time since 2007, the Sabres will not have one of their prospects participating at the Memorial Cup, where the winners of the Ontario, Western and Quebec leagues do battle with the host team for the top prize in Canadian major-junior hockey.
Sabres forward prospect Nicholas Baptiste (2013, third round) logged a minus-3 rating in Friday's loss, leaving him with one goal and two assists in the final round, and totals of 12 goals and 23 points in 20 playoff contests.
Exactly half of Baptiste’s dozen playoff markers came on the power play. He connected on the majority of them from his hot spot inside the left faceoff circle.
Baptiste began the week by producing an assist on the game-winning goal as Erie earned a 4-3 win in Game 3 on Monday. Connor McDavid, a top prize in the 2015 NHL Draft, led the way with a goal and a helper in the victory as the Otters halved the Generals’ lead in the best-of-seven series to 2-1.
On Wednesday, Baptiste remained productive with one goal and one assist as Erie battled hard but came up short in 6-5 overtime loss in Game 4.
With Oshawa out to an early 2-0 lead, Baptiste got the Otters on the board at 15:10 of the opening frame when he one-timed a Remi Elie (DAL) feed on the power play. The teams would trade goals through 40 minutes and play a scoreless third period before Cole Cassels (VAN) ended it at 8:19 of overtime with a power-play goal of his own.
Wednesday’s loss put the Otters on the verge of elimination and the Generals smelled blood in the water as they posted a dominating performance in Friday’s series clincher.
The 20-game finish to Baptiste’s junior career provided a greater indication that the 19 year old has the makings of a reliable two-way winger who can add some scoring punch on an NHL energy line.
He'll more than likely need some time to adjust to the pro tempo with Rochester of the American Hockey League, but his quick acceleration, willingness to make contact and ability to get pucks to the net make for a compelling prospect.
For more on all the youngsters in the Sabres pipeline, check out Kris Baker’s website, SabresProspects.com. You can also follow him on Twitter (@SabresProspects) for in-game updates throughout the week on any Buffalo prospects that are in action.

How does a cipher suite work?
Cipher suites are sets of instructions on how to secure a network through SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) or TLS (Transport Layer Security). As such, cipher suites provide essential information on how to communicate secure data when using HTTPS, FTPS, SMTP and other network protocols.
What cipher does TLS 1.2 use?
AESAES is the most commonly supported bulk cipher in TLS 1.2 & TLS 1.3 cipher suites. When run in Galois Counter Mode and CCM (Counter with CBC_MAC) mode, AES functions as a stream cipher with message authentication capabilities (an AEAD). CBC just means that AES is being run in block cipher mode.
What is modern cipher?
Modern cryptography relies on cryptographic keys, usually a short string of text, for encoding and decoding messages in combination with cryptographic algorithms. Based on the type of keys used, cryptography is classified as either symmetric or asymmetric key cryptography.
Is Morse code a cipher?
One of the most famous examples of a cipher in regular use is Morse Code (which is not a code, but rather a cipher). Morse Code has the benefit that it can be transmitted in several ways, such as written, by sound or by light. Each letter is replaced by a series of dots and dashes as given by the key below.

Is TLS 1.2 secure?
TLS 1.2 is more secure than the previous cryptographic protocols such as SSL 2.0, SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, and TLS 1.1. Essentially, TLS 1.2 keeps data being transferred across the network more secure.
What is the use of cipher suite?
A cipher suite is a set of information that helps determine how your web server will communicate secure data over HTTPS. A web server uses certain protocols and algorithms to determine how it will secure your web traffic. These are the ingredients of a secure connection.

Advanced Encryption StandardThe Advanced Encryption Standard, AES, is a symmetric encryption algorithm and one of the most secure. The United States Government use it to protect classified information, and many software and hardware products use it as well.
What does Cipher mean?
In cryptography, a cipher (or cypher) is an algorithm for performing encryption or decryption—a series of well-defined steps that can be followed as a procedure. An alternative, less common term is encipherment. To encipher or encode is to convert information into cipher or code.

How Industrial Food Makes Us More Vulnerable to COVID-19
As Chuck D says, it’s ‘food as a machine gun,’ and that’s even more deadly in this pandemic
When I finished working on my book, “Formerly Known As Food: How the Industrial Food System is Changing Our Minds, Bodies, and Culture,” in 2018 — after 10 years of research and writing — I was certain of two things: First, our industrial food system is decimating our environment. Second, our nutrient-depleted, and chemically saturated processed food supply is changing our bodies from the inside out. It was also clear how these two issues are deeply linked: What we do to our environment, we do to ourselves.
What I didn’t know was that the COVID-19 pandemic was just around the corner and would bring global attention to the grave risks inherent in our industrial food system.
All over the world, industrial agriculture has pushed small-scale farmers deeper into forests where these types of pathogens exist. The decimation of forests has also sent those who bring wild animals into city markets deeper into remote forest areas, resulting in human exposure to novel pathogens.
What’s more, animals confined in factory farms are perfect incubators when these pathogens spill over — unsanitary, cramped conditions among animals with near-identical genetics means that viruses spread rapidly and often become more virulent.
On the consumer end of the food supply, our highly processed and nutrient-poor foods are causing unprecedented numbers of people to develop diet-related chronic diseases. Six in 10 adults have one chronic disease and four in 10 have two or more — overall, more than 40 percent of the entire U.S. population has a chronic disease, and many of those diseases are directly related to our food: diabetes, cardiovascular disease, stroke, kidney disease, and various cancers.
These underlying conditions correlate with increased morbidity and mortality for those who contract the virus. Preliminary findings show that metabolic dysfunction is causing devastating complications from COVID-19 and, shockingly, only 12 percent of the entire U.S. adult population is considered metabolically healthy. Metabolic dysfunction has one primary source: our highly processed…

KKK Donut Club & LGBTQ Has too Much Male White Privilege

Oops! A Krispy Kreme donut store in the U.K. launched the KKK club (Krispy Kreme Klub). They say it was an innocent mistake and the corporate office quickly scrubbed the event and all promotional materials.
An article for the University of Houston Daily Cougar’s sex week issue argues that the LGBTQ community focuses too much on white gay men. Here we go again with that white, male privilege. Will we ever be able to suppress it?

HARWICH, MASS. (WHDH) - A fire in Harwich burned through a camper trailer, damaged nearby vehicles and sent smoke into the sky over parts of Cape Cod Monday night, local fire officials said.
The Harwich Fire Department in a statement on social media said crews responded to the scene on Queen Anne Road shortly after 7 p.m.
Once on scene, officials said, firefighters found a 34-foot camper heavily involved.
Officials said firefighters spent just over one hour responding to this fire. While no injuries were reported, the fire department said the fire caused “some damage” to vehicles parked close to the camper.
The camper itself was badly charred and photos shared by the fire department showed a plume of dark smoke rising over the scene at one point. The smoke, officials said, could be seen “all across the mid and lower Cape.”

The Enerdrive ePOWER 20A Battery Charger is a fully automatic, “set and forget” charger. It is designed to quickly and accurately recharge your batteries using algorithms that help maximise service life. Multistage smart charging technology enables the charger to be connected to your battery banks permanently.
As dictated by battery manufacturer’s recommendations, batteries require a multistage charge sequence for perfect, fast and accurate charging. Our ePOWER multistage smart 20A battery charger delivers four primary charge stages:-
The ePOWER 20A Battery Charger delivers a priority charge to Bank 1, or your main house battery bank which allows the charger to get this bank recharged the quickest, then transition the cycle to the lesser bank 2 & 3 batteries.
The priority function also allows you to have a battery chemistry different to the other two, such as an AGM battery for house and lead calcium for your start banks.
In the event that all 3 banks are in need of a charge, an over-ride function helps recover all 3 banks quickly and evenly before switching back to prioritise on Bank 1.
The recent advances in high capacity Lithium battery technology have seen the need to develop a battery charger suited to their needs. With most traditional ‘smart’ chargers their suitability to Lithium batteries is limited. Lithium batteries require a constant current / constant voltage charge algorithm and are unique in that almost every amp-hour of charge delivered by the charger is accepted as one amp hour into the battery, hence the need to deliver a constant current as long as possible.
The Enerdrive ePOWER charger can be programmed for Lithium batteries. This setting delivers the full rated output of the charger constantly with the charger switching to power supply mode once the voltage peak is met (indicating a full battery bank). The graph shows the ePOWER charger algorithm perfectly supporting Lithium battery requirements.
The ePOWER 20A Battery Charger display gives you all the information you need for the operation of your charger. At a glance, key information such as charger amps, battery voltage and charge state continually alternate on the screen. When in float / power supply mode, the load amps are displayed so you can see exactly what the charger is doing. The display also allows you to program all settings of the charger, as well as activate the silent mode.
Silence when you need it – By pressing the “SEL” button for 5 seconds, the ePOWER Charger enters the ‘Silent’ mode that prohibits the fan from working. This ensures totally silent and safe operation at night, ideal if the charger is located close to your sleeping quarters. Silent mode limits current output to no more than 50%, and is programmed to remain on for 12 hours before automatically returning to a normal ‘fan-on & full output’ setting.

Abiotic stresses, especially salinity and drought, are major limiting factors for plant growth and crop productivity. In an attempt to develop salt and drought tolerant tomato, a DNA cassette containing tobacco osmotin gene driven by a cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter was transferred to tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Putative T0 transgenic plants were screened by PCR analysis. The selected transformants were evaluated for salt and drought stress tolerance by physiological analysis at T1 and T2 generations. Integration of the osmotin gene in transgenic T1 plants was verified by Southern blot hybridization. Transgenic expression of the osmotin gene was verified by RT-PCR and northern blotting in T1 plants. T1 progenies from both transformed and untransformed plants were tested for salt and drought tolerance by subjecting them to different levels of NaCl stress and by withholding water supply, respectively. Results from different physiological tests demonstrated enhanced tolerance to salt and drought stresses in transgenic plants harboring the osmotin gene as compared to the wild-type plants. The transgenic lines showed significantly higher relative water content, chlorophyll content, proline content, and leaf expansion than the wild-type plants under stress conditions. The present investigation clearly shows that overexpression of osmotin gene enhances salt and drought stress tolerance in transgenic tomato plants.

Jesus Christ is my Savior. He is my God. Because of Him I have been saved from death and sin. I exist because of Him. I will continue to exist, and eventually exist in glory, because of Him.
I love Him, and owe Him all that I am, and all that I will ever be.
I don’t remember when I first met Him, but I have since learned that before we were born, He stood before all of us and presented our Heavenly Father’s plan to us – a way that we could all come to earth, get a body, prove ourselves, and then return to a home of eternal glory.
Our Savior stood before all of us and offered Himself as the necessary sacrifice to make this plan a reality. He was willing to suffer and die for us. Why? Because He loves me – with a depth of love that I can barely begin to comprehend. In exchange, He asked me to follow him, and do what He asks of me.
I know that I accepted this plan, and that I loved him for His willingness. I know this because I am here – living, breathing, learning, growing. Everyone else we see around us everyday accepted this plan as well, as evidenced by our very existence. Many of us do not know, and many that do know, don’t care.
I know, and I do care.
Because I know, I try and live my life in the manner that he showed us when he was here on earth. I try and keep the commandments he has given us. I try to do what is right.
And I fail. Often. And sometimes spectacularly.
But my Savior has within His power and authority to save me from myself, from my sins, and from the pain that can and does result from those sins. The pain that can happen now, later, and eternally.
How can He possibly do this? He suffered to pay for my sins already. I do not pretend to understand how it happened, but somehow, He was able to take upon Himself the sins and ills of all the world. He suffered in the Garden of Gethsemane, and on the Cross. He bled and died – voluntarily -for me. Because of this, He has the amazing ability to exchange my suffering for His.
• He is my literal Savior. He saves me from sin.
He overcame death and lived again. This resurrection results in the miraculous promise that all of us – ALL of us that have lived, or will ever lived in this mortal life will live again, as he has.
• He is my literal Savior – he has saved me from death.
But it doesn’t stop with being saved… It even gets better.
• He literally saves me from what I would fear most in eternity: Being without my wife.
My Savior wants me to progress, and find joy in this life – not just in the eternities. Because of this, He has restored His Church to the earth. He directs it through revelation to modern-day prophets. And why not? Would a loving Savior leave us to our own devices?
To help us learn and develop, He has given us new scripture, revealed to His prophets. I love the Bible, but it should be obvious to anyone that loves the Bible that it is just not enough. The very existence of over 30,000 different Christian denominations preaching their own paths makes that patently obvious. There is one path – and the Lord saved us, yet again, from a lifetime of wandering in the wilderness looking for the “one path” of which He spoke.
• He literally saves me from following the wrong path.
I find modern revelation as additional proof that He loves me, and you. We are not left alone. He speaks to us through Prophets, Apostles, and the Holy Ghost. He is the Almighty God – He is not limited in what He can share with us for our well-being.
• He literally saves me from ignorance, and the resulting mistakes and pain.
He does, in a very real way “leadeth me beside the still waters,” and “restoreth my soul.”
I know that He loves me. He shows that love to me daily. I find myself flailing when I try and express what I feel for Him with words – so I try to use my deeds.
I know that Jesus Christ is the Savior of mankind – of all those who have walked the earth, who now walk the earth, or have yet to walk the earth. That is the grand vision of His purpose.
But at the core of my being, I know that He is my Savior, my elder brother, my Lord. Praise Him.

On the eve of parliamentary elections on May 6, the Greek government has stepped up the words and xenophobic acts in an attempt to divert the discussion of economic realities.
After the series of raids in central Athens that happens since March 28, the first of the new camps for foreigners was opened on April 29, with the arrival of a first group of 56 foreigners, followed by a second of 164 people. This camp is intended to accommodate a thousand people, and it is the first in a series of thirty whose construction is planned mainly in former military bases.
The pretext given by the government to justify this large scale confinement is to protect the Greek population from disease risk spread by foreigners. These camps are designed primarily for the sick, illicit drug users, people living in unsanitary conditions. So these are the poorest and most vunérables exiles who will be locked away.
The inhuman and degrading conditions that prevail in Greek detention centers were reported well before the crisis, including by the European Commission, yet little stingy on human rights, and rights of migrants in particular.
A part of the greek population is sinking in dark misery, and Medecins du Monde describes the increase in cases of malnutrition, nourishing people at soup kitchens or making the bins. The Greek health system is decaying due to budget cuts.
What will be the living conditions of these camps where will firstly be locked the sick and most vulnerable people?
What is happening again in Europe, before our eyes?

Each has his preferred songs. Those which were sung by our elders, those which we listen to on the radio, those of our souvenirs, of our loves, of great moments in our life, those of every day and those which during the passage of time maintain their evergreen lustre.
Pierre VAIANA, Fabien DEGRYSE and Jean-Louis RASSINFOSSE joined their personal experience and benefited from their differences to select some of the French songs which are part of their common heritage (The band was named after Charles TRENET's famous song "l'âme des poètes", which is considered a standard in "French chanson")
Since its debut, jazz exploited songs of various origins. Many of these standards transformed with time into musical material. From these models, for those who only discovered the modified form, a new form of art was revealed which sometimes was completely detached from its roots. But, each song is a particular emotion, each melody liberates a unique vibration. It is this sentiment of love, essential in every song which is the base for improvisation that the 3 musicians wanted to find and translate through their instruments with their creativity and the sensitivity which is theirs.
The group has performed worldwide, a.o. in Europe, Africa, Canada, etc...and has recorded 5 CDs, a.o. with Jacques BREL's and Georges BRASSENS songs.
A re-creation of the classic French songs with the fresh and creative approach of modern jazz musicians.

A Conversation with Meredith Vieira & James Braly
MV: My partner Amy Rapp and I have a company, Meredith Vieira Productions. We’re interested in bringing comedies and drama to the public that are character driven. I’ve always been a major fan of theater and it was really Amy who said, “You’ve got to take a look at this show.” To be honest with you, I’d never heard of James Braly before, but I saw his monologue and it blew me away. It was funny. It was dark. It was biting and it was about a dysfunctional marriage. Every marriage has a little dysfunction to it. And it made me laugh and also teared me up a bit. We were lucky enough to court James successfully. It’s been a wonderful partnership – the idea that we could help expose him to the rest of the country was something that we are excited about.
KS: James, I wanted to ask you about the topic of the show. I love the blurb “a darkly funny tale of 20 years of monogamy in one terrifying hour.” As somebody who’s been married a lot longer than that I wonder, are we going to scare off potential audience members who aren’t married yet?!!!
I know people who have seen the show and decided they should move in with each other!– James Braly
JB: It depends on how confident they feel in their relationship, definitely! I don’t think so. My developmental past had me going through an organization called the “Moth” in New York, where the demographic was, at the open mic’s was 18-30, and at the more fancy functions was 25-60 and the 18-30 year olds are frequently not married. So a lot of the material I developed was for younger people who were not married. The show deals with different stages of a relationship not just the post marital stage and the stages thereafter but the courtship issues also. Actually I know people who have seen the show and decided they should move in with each other!
MV: I wanted to go back for a second to story telling because it seems like a dying art, yet I’m not sure, I can’t name any of these great story tellers. After Spaulding Gray, I didn’t hear of any others and that’s why James is so special to me. I feel it is an art form that needs to be expressed especially in a day and age where we talk less and less and conversation is done through texting and I think sitting in an audience and just listening to somebody tell their story, there’s something so intimate and special about it that I find that makes the evening with James so magical because you’re not going to find it elsewhere.
KS: Meredith, the sense I have is that’s you’re all about telling stories.
MV: Absolutely, because I think at the end of the day – I got a lot of that from Don Hewett of 60 Minutes who said you know it’s not the picture it’s the words – tell me a story. Talk about a successful formula for a broadcast after all these years and Don was right, good story telling is an art form and it’s rare because it’s not easy to do. It takes a real talent to pull it off and that’s what you have in James. And your audience will see that for themselves.
KS: James, tell us about the evolution of the show – starting in Edinburgh then in New York City, now it’s on tour and it looks like you’re talking about a screenplay?
JB: Yes, we have been developing, actually on kind of two tracks, one as a feature screen play and the other as a television series and so it is in development right now.
KS: What can patrons expect to see or hear as they’re sitting in this intimate Music Hall Loft at your show?
JB: Well I’m hoping they’ll experience themselves laughing and what initially feels like wholly inappropriate ways, but then once they feel the permission to have that emotional experience they go on a journey with me, they go on a ride with me and at the end of the ride they feel, at the very least, entertained and something they may not have felt before. Often times when you see a feature or you read a book you get lost in those characters and that’s true of storytelling but ultimately it brings you back to asking questions of your own life and of the people in it and it’s a very provocative form in that sense. So it holds you, if done well, as entertainment and then it asks you to ask yourself some questions. So I’m hoping that they feel really satisfied – that their time is well spent.
KS: We are very much looking forward to Meredith Vieira’s Production of Life In A Martial Institution with James Braly at the Music Hall Loft September 9 to the 11th in downtown Portsmouth NH. Thank you!

BOQU Instrument focus on development and production of water quality analyzers and sensors, including water quality meter, dissolved oxygen meter, pH sensors, etc.
Before the COD rapid determination instrument detects the COD content value, the sample needs simple pretreatment.
After adding the chemical oxygen demand reagent for digestion, the detection work is carried out. The digestion process of the water sample directly determines whether the organic matter in the sample can be completely oxidized.
When using a chemical oxygen demand measuring instrument to measure the chemical oxygen demand content in the determination, the chemical oxygen demand digestion instrument needs to be heated to a constant temperature (165°C, 15 minutes), and then placed in the digestion colorimetric integrated tube. Otherwise, the organic matter in the sample cannot be completely oxidized, and the detection result of chemical oxygen demand is lower than the actual value.
The principle of the COD analyzer uses a closed digestion tube for closed digestion. A special oxidant containing a certain amount of potassium dichromate is used in a strong acid solution. Under the action of a catalyst, the water sample is digested at a constant temperature of 165°C for 15 minutes to oxidize the water. The reducing substance.
From the principle of detecting chemical oxygen demand, it can be seen that detecting chemical oxygen demand requires constant heating for 15 minutes in an the environment of 165°C.
However, if the COD digester is first put into the digestion colorimetric integrated tube and then heated, it will take a certain time for the COD digester to heat up from room temperature to 165°C, which will cause the COD to be at 165°C.
The heating time in the C environment is much less than 15 minutes, which leads to the incomplete reaction of the organic matter in the sample, which leads to the detection of the chemical oxygen demand value far lower than the actual value.
Therefore, after the digester is heated to the preset temperature, the digestion colorimetric integrated tube needs to be placed.
In the routine test parameters, in addition to the cod measuring instrument and the multi-functional intelligent digestion instrument, the total phosphorus measuring instrument and the total nitrogen measuring instrument also need to be used in conjunction with the digestion instrument, such as the digestion condition of total phosphorus: 120℃, 30 minutes; the total nitrogen digestion condition is 120°C, 40 minutes; when taking the water sample of the instrument for testing, the digestion process needs to be heated to a constant temperature and then put into the digestion colorimetric integrated tube.

The Senate State and Local Government Committee has approved legislation to help senior citizens who participate in Tennessee’s property tax freeze program. Senate Bill 1128 requires the base tax for property tax freeze programs to be recalculated in any year in which the actual tax due is less than the previously established base tax for the property.
Currently, it is very difficult for seniors to re-freeze their base tax amount. This legislation makes the calculation automatic, providing a helpful correction for senior citizens who participate in the property tax freeze program.
In November 2006, Tennessee voters approved an amendment to Article II, Section 28 of the Tennessee Constitution giving the General Assembly the authority by general law to authorize counties and/or municipalities to implement a local option property tax freeze for taxpayers 65 years of age or older. The Property Tax Freeze Act was passed in 2007 putting the program into place. Twenty-seven cities and 23 counties participate in the program.

The name of young actor Shah Rukh Khan is also included in these, whose rift with the actor was reported for the last several years. But recently Sunny Deol himself had claimed that their relationship was genuine. Meanwhile, a video of Gadar 2’s success party has surfaced, in which Shah Rukh Khan is seen entering his wife Gauri Khan. In this video, both can be seen coming holding hands, seeing which the fans are seen reacting.
In the video shared by paparazzi, Shah Rukh Khan enters the success party of Gadar 2 holding wife Gauri Khan’s hand. Although he does not pose for photographers. Talking about the look, both of them are seen in matching black look. While Shahrukh Khan is seen wearing a gray jacket with black cargo and T-shirt, Gauri Khan is looking very beautiful in a white and black jacket with black pants and top.
On seeing this video, the fans have started commenting. One user wrote, in which temple did Gauri Khan ask for a vow to get such a loving and caring husband. Another user wrote that he has just returned from Dubai two hours ago. Another user wrote, there should be such a caring husband. The fourth user wrote, Shah Rukh Khan’s charm is of the next level.
Significantly, on September 7, Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan is ready to be released in theaters around the world, the trailer of which has recently surfaced. At the same time, the advance booking of the film also seems to be earning handsomely.

It’s difficult to imagine, in an era when an African American is the leader of the free world, that racism would rear its ugly head in two very different incidents during the past two weeks. First, the heartbreaking story of Trayvon Martin, a young African American who took a shortcut through a gated community on his way home from the convenience store in Florida. Tragically, George Zimmerman, an armed vigilante on a “neighborhood watch” who reportedly felt “threatened” by Trayvon’s presence, particularly because he was wearing an offending hoodie, hunted him, then shot him down in cold blood.
Carrying an iced tea and a package of Skittles and talking on his cell phone with a friend, Trayvon was absolutely defenseless. He had no means of escape from a man intent on killing him because his skin color and wardrobe sent up a “red flag.” Being on a neighborhood watch is not a license to kill; the idea is merely to pick up the phone and alert the police if one sees something suspicious, yet Zimmerman insisted on taking the law into his own hands, pursuing Trayvon even when police authorities directed him not to. If there is any justice, Trayvon’s murderer will not go free but will receive a minimum sentence of life in prison. This was a lynching, plain and simple, and far outside of the protections that Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law affords Zimmerman.
The second incident of racism, while not nearly as grievous as Trayvon’s murder, could more accurately be described as incidents, or numerous comments on social media networks by some teen fans of the hit film The Hunger Games, who are protesting the casting of two black actors as characters whom they had imagined to be white when they read the books: Lenny Kravitz as the main character Katniss’ mentor Cinna, and Amandla Stenberg as Katniss’ young ally Rue. Though these characters are described as having dark skin in the books, said fans would apparently prefer that Caucasian actors with really deep tans have been cast instead. It’s a sad statement that some of our nation’s young people, in the age of the first black president, have so little imagination and so little tolerance.
African American young people like Trayvon, had he lived, and Amandla deserve to grow up in a nation where they can be respected and admired for their beauty, both inside and out, and for what they can contribute to the world. Sadly, the world will never know again the joy and light that Trayvon brought his friends and family, but some day when Amandla is a veteran performer standing on the podium with an Oscar for Best Actress in her hands, like Halle Berry before her, she will have shown them all. The small-minded idiots who expressed their dismay at the color of her skin will thankfully be but a distant memory.
|Amandla Stenberg, who portrays Rue in The Hunger Games,
on the film’s opening night
These events are unfortunate proof that racism continues to thrive in our nation, whether behind closed doors, in social media networks, on the playground, in gated communities, or in the hearts of those with narrow minds and narrower hearts.
As parents, we have the power to raise children with loving hearts and open minds. These incidents should set off an alarm, and a raise a gigantic red flag, that we are not out of the woods when it comes to racism. We must be ever vigilant against the worst enemy the United States could ever face: the hatred and cruelty within some human hearts that awakens, attacks, and even kills without warning.
