Automation Direct Expands Automated Warehouse System
Automationdirect.com, a leader in the industrial automation market, has grown tremendously since it first offered its direct-sales catalog of PLC products in January 1994. In April 1999, the company launched its e-commerce site, and the catalog now offers an estimated 2,600 products in its catalog. In 2002, the company’s product line grew more than 40%.
The warehouse operation is an integral part of meeting Automationdirect.com’s promise that orders received by 4:00 p.m. EST will ship the same day. Not only does Automationdirect.com strive to keep their self-imposed shipping deadline, but it also works hard to maintain their 99.98% order-accuracy rate. This has largely been accomplished with the installation of a PC-based control system and bar code identification system. To manage the increase in its product line, Mark Hermann, the logistics team captain, knew they needed to increase the capacity of their current warehouse system.
Hermann said, “We had more products coming in, but our space was limited. We also had to deal with the fact that a lot of the new products were of a smaller cube size. Our research told us that continuing with our old system would be expensive because we would need to hire more people, and using an A-frame automation system would also be too expensive.”
Automationdirect.com turned to several outside vendors to find a solution to ease their growing pains. Hermann called INTEWORX.NET, Inc., an integration firm, to write the control software and integrate the new system with the existing inventory management system. Solutions in Action was called to install the necessary hardware, and PathGuide Technologies, who wrote the original inventory management software, was asked to update the software to enable orders to be picked from the new system as well as the old system.
Hermann said, “When deciding on who to help us with the integration, we knew right away to turn to INTEWORX.NET. We had worked with their Senior Engineer Bill Glover before and knew he was easy to work with, honest, and experienced with the software and hardware that we would be using.”
Automationdirect.com had used Think & Do software before when installing its warehouse system, and wanted to continue to use it for the expansion project because it had proven to be reliable, and they would have the control to make their own changes.
To make the most efficient use of the space that they had, Automationdirect.com purchased a carousel system from Solutions in Action because it made more use of vertical space and took less horizontal space. It was also the ideal solution for managing the smaller-sized products.
Solutions in Action provided and installed the carousel and conveyor system. Solutions in Action Representative, Gene Sanders, was Automationdirect.com’s main contact. Hermann said, “ Solutions in Action was very professional and used only the best installers. Automationdirect.com installed the remaining hardware that was required using 90% Automationdirect.com products.”
The first challenge for INTEWORX.NET was the integration of the old system with the new system. Glover said, “We needed to design the controls and make the system work so they could pick the items from the new carousel. To do this, we rewrote the old warehouse elevator system to send items to the new carousel system.”
Glover continued, “We also had to find a way to interface with PathGuide, the original inventory management system. We decided to share information through a SQL Server Database. We used PC-based controls and Ethernet controls to talk directly to the database without the need of an additional PC-based SCADA system. Unlike a PLC system that would require another computer, the PC-based system allowed the control system to share information directly with the inventory system.” Choosing the PC-based system kept the costs down in development time and hardware expense while creating more cohesion between the control and inventory systems.
The New Process
Orders are received through the Automationdirect.com web site or by phone through a toll-free number. Those orders are processed and sent to the warehouse through the PathGuide system that includes ceiling-mounted RF transceivers that send the necessary order information to hand-held bar code scanners. At the same time, PathGuide sends the same information through the network to the control system designed using Think & Do software.
The people on the 1st floor of the warehouse assemble a cardboard box based on the size of the order. They place a bar code label on the outside of the box and then put an order sheet that is linked to the bar code into the box. They place the box on the conveyor/elevator system. To fill the order, workers take a hand-held bar code reader and scan the order sheet in the box. The scanner will tell them what to pick from the shelves and where the product is located.
As they pick, they scan each product’s bar code to record what has been added to the box. The box continues on the conveyor toward an elevator. Prior to reaching the elevator, a fixed bar code reader on the conveyor belt scans the box’s bar code label. At this point, Think & Do software knows where to direct that box. If the order is incomplete, the box will go to the 2nd or 3rd floor or to the new carousel area for additional products. If the order is complete, it goes to the shipping area to be delivered.
On the 2nd and 3rd floors, workers continue to scan and pick products to complete the order. If the necessary products needed to complete the order are in the carousel area, Think & Do continues to send the box along the conveyor to that area. Before it reaches the carousel, it passes another fixed bar code reader, which the new Think & Do system reads and creates a group of boxes called a “slug.”
When the carousel picker is ready for the slug, he presses a button on his hand-held scanner in which the PathGuide system sends a request to the Think & Do system to release the “slug” to be moved into the picking area. At the same time, Think & Do sends the bar-code numbers for that group to PathGuide. PathGuide then returns to Think & Do a list of all the products and carousel locations for the boxes to complete the orders.
Think & Do then runs an optimization program to turn the carousels for the picker to pick from. It will read the list and move the carousels to the nearest product bin on that list. It continues this procedure until all products have been picked to complete the order. It will always take the shortest route to reduce idle time. This optimization process makes the warehouse automation system as efficient as possible. When all the orders in the carousel area are completed, the conveyor sends those boxes on to shipping.
Hermann said, “The project took about six-weeks and ran smoothly. We were able to beat our target date for start-up by a full week. We have been well pleased with the outcome. It has met our expectations in keeping the cost down while increasing our pick efficiency and maintaining our 99.98% accuracy rate.”

President Donald Trump is “fully behind” Stephen Moore, his choice to help lead the Federal Reserve, despite unflattering details that have come to light about Moore’s personal life, a top White House official said Wednesday while also complaining about Washington’s “toxic” environment.
“I spoke to the president yesterday. He completely supports Steve,” Larry Kudlow, director of the National Economic Council, told reporters. “People are being awful hard on him. … This town is a toxic town in some respects.”
Kudlow said Moore is “a smart guy” who “would be a breath of fresh air on the Fed, and so far it’s all systems go.”
Moore is a former Trump campaign adviser who helped design massive tax cuts the president signed into law in 2017. He has been affiliated with multiple conservative groups, including as the Heritage Foundation’s chief economist, leading some economists to say Moore could inject politics into an institution that strives to keep decisions about monetary policy free of political influence.
Moore has taken a series of controversial stances on the Fed and has acknowledged the need to learn more about how the central bank works.
He also has said Fed Chairman Jerome Powell should be fired for rate hikes last year that Moore claims undermined the benefits from Trump’s tax cuts. Trump has also publicly come down hard on Powell over those increases. The Fed recently announced it will not raise interest rates in 2019, a decision Powell said was not influenced by the president.
Trump has yet to forward Moore’s nomination to serve on the Fed’s Board of Governors to the Senate for confirmation. His required background check has yet to be completed.
According to published reports and court records, Moore had a lien of more than $75,000 filed against him in January 2018 for unpaid taxes, and has fallen behind on alimony and child support payments to his ex-wife.
On Wednesday, two senior Democratic senators asked Moore to provide detailed information related to the unpaid taxes, including an explanation of why he apparently wrongly deducted child support expenses, causing the underpayment.
Moore said last week that he and his current wife are disputing the IRS’ claim and have been seeking a resolution for years.
“We underpaid our taxes by $6,000, Moore said in an interview with Fox News. “I think it was in 2014 because of a mistake in a deduction we took. We overpaid our taxes, we estimate by our accountant, by about $40,000 to $50,000 in 2015 and somehow that comes out to us owing the IRS $70,000.
“For over two years, we have heard nothing from the IRS,” Moore said. “We can’t get the auditor to respond. … We want a resolution. We want to present our evidence.”
The letter to Moore came from Sens. Sherrod Brown of Ohio, the senior Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee, and Ron Wyden of Oregon, the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee. After Trump formally nominates Moore, the Republican-led Banking Committee will conduct his confirmation hearing.
Brown and Wyden gave Moore until April 15 to respond to their questions. Based on his responses, the banking panel may request his tax returns for 2014, they told Moore.
After Trump’s announcement in March, Moore said his criticisms of the Fed, including his suggestion about dismissing Powell, were likely written “in a time of anger.”
While the Fed’s recent actions have been more in line with the easy credit stance the administration is seeking, Trump has made sharp attacks on the central bank at recent meetings, according to a report Wednesday in The Wall Street Journal. The newspaper quoted an unnamed source present at one of the meetings as saying that Trump told the group that he told Powell during a recent telephone conversation: “I guess I’m stuck with you.”
Asked about that comment during his appearance at an event sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor, Kudlow said he thought it was an “expression of love and affection” on the part of the president.
Under the law that governs the Federal Reserve, a president can only remove a Fed chairman for cause. Courts in cases that involved other agencies that use similar language have interpreted it to exclude policy differences.
On the separate issue of tariffs, Kudlow said Trump would veto legislation being considered by Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, that, among other things, would scale back the president’s virtually unlimited power to impose tariffs on imports he declares a threat to national security.
“The president is not in favor of that at the moment. Not in favor of that,” Kudlow said. He added that Trump believes imposing tariffs, or even merely threatening to impose them, gives him the upper hand in trade talks with other countries, most notably China.
Trump slapped tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars in Chinese imports last year and believes China would not be negotiating a trade deal with the U.S. had he not imposed the levies, Kudlow said.
A Chinese delegation is in Washington this week for another round of talks, following a U.S. team’s trip to Beijing last week for discussions.

ANGRY SPIRITS -- AND A CRY FOR HELP! -- AT A SALT LAKE CITY SÉANCE
by Thomas M. Sipos, managing editor [April 8, 2012]
[WeeklyUniverse.com] Six explorers of the supernatural realms made an astonishing breakthrough, at the home of spiritualist medium Elias Caress, when their séance was disrupted by an angry spirit -- or spirits! -- one of whom left behind a desperate plea for help as evidence of its visitation!
The evening of Sunday, April 1, 2012, had begun peacefully enough. The air was cold and dusk had already fallen when these six brave truth seekers -- including this Weekly Universe reporter! -- convened at Caress's Salt Lake City, Utah house -- which had once been a bordello!
Caress's assistant, the voluptuous Celeste McCulley, welcomed the truth seekers, then led them into a cramped room in the back of the house. Swords, posters, and mystical paraphernalia hung from the walls of many colors. The table was adorned with occult tools -- dowsing rods (aka divining rods when used for seeking ghosts rather than water), bells, tarot cards, Zener cards, candles, and pendulums.
Once the participants were seated about the table -- Caress and McCulley at either end -- Caress explained the purpose of his arcane tools. That ghosts sometimes communicate by ringing bells or moving pendulums. That their presence may be detected with the dowsing/divining rods. He finally displayed a small black slate -- which ghosts sometimes write upon!
Before any séance, Caress likes to break the "spiritual ice" by having the participants get to know each other. He thus displayed a deck of Zener cards, and explained how they are used to test for telepathy. Each card bears one of five symbols -- circle, cross, waves, square, star -- and the test subject is asked to telepathically read the card held by the person concentrating upon it.
Astoundingly, two of the séance participants guessed each other's card -- a circle and a star -- on their first attempts! This, despite a mere 20% "random guess" probability each time! Clearly, the séance participants were in a highly sensitive, psychically attuned mode!
Caress then explained how tarot cards may be used to detect the spiritual influences surrounding an upcoming séance. He gave the deck to one of the participants. She shuffled the cards, then picked -- the Devil!
"Okay, that's enough of that," Caress interjected, quickly putting an end to the use of tarot.
Yet despite such ominous and portentous spiritual warnings, the participants bravely resolved to continue with the night's séance, determined as they were to commune with the dead!
Caress dimmed the lights, leaving but one tiny lamp lit [see above photo]. The participants held hands, forming a magic circle to block out evil spirits. McCulley assured everyone that all would be safe -- so long as they did not break the circle! She then led everyone on a chant of protection.
Caress suggested that they try and contact the spirit of Lily Grace, a young woman who had lived in the house -- until she mysteriously disappeared in 1928. No one ever learned what became of Grace. Some thought she had eloped with her boyfriend, who disappeared at the same time.
Before long the tiny lamp began to flicker! -- and Caress's high-tech EMF meter detected the presence of a spirit!
Caress asked the spirit questions, and requested that the spirit make the EMF meter flicker once for yes, twice for no. Instead the EMF meter flickered frantically, as if whoever -- or whatever! -- was controlling the meter was severely agitated.
Then the tiny lamp went out -- leaving the participants in pitch black darkness!
Undeterred, the courageous séance-goers pressed forward. Caress turned off the EMF meter. He instead asked the unknown spirit to ring the glass bell on the table. Once for yes, twice for no.
AND THE BELL RANG!
And rang, and rang, and RANG! The answers were frantic and desperate! It soon became obvious that the spirit was greatly upset, even angry!
Then came the BANGING ON THE WALLS!
The participants heard -- but in the darkness could not see! -- wall ornaments knocked off of their pegs and come crashing down! An empty wine bottle on the table -- a pendulum hanging from the bottle's cork -- was knocked down! Mysterious blue orb lights floated about the room! Participants reported feeling a string-like substance -- was it ectoplasm?! -- brush against their faces!
Amid the ghostly chaos, McCulley repeated her chant of protection while Caress questioned the spirit -- and began to unearth some chilling and shocking truths! The séance participants learned that Lily Grace was likely murdered -- and that her corpse was probably still buried under the soil of Caress's house -- or perhaps even interred within its very walls!
Even more frighteningly, it soon became apparent that Grace wasn't the only spirit present! The tiny lamp would briefly come to life, frantically flickering. The bell was madly ringing, walls banging, orbs floating, when Caress finally declared the séance over. He and McCulley led a final chant of closure, then turned on the main lights.
Whereupon the participants made yet another bone-chilling discovery! Someone -- or something! -- had thrown the slate onto the floor and wrote upon it!
Just two words: HELP ME.
Even more amazingly, someone -- or something! -- had removed a candle from the candelabra and placed it atop the slate!
But even more astounding was when Caress blurted out, "I don't have any chalk! Where did it get the chalk from!"
A small piece of chalk was indeed found on the main table. Somehow, someone -- or something! -- had caused the chalk to materialize from another realm! -- and then placed it within inches from the séance-participants!
Despite astonishing supernatural discoveries of spiritual significance, the six truth seekers left the hair-raising home of Elias Caress with more questions than when they had arrived. Did the spirit of Lily Grace write that desperate plea on the slate? Where was she now? Was she trapped in the house, with someone -- or something?! -- trying to stop her from communicating clearly with the truth seekers?
And where had that piece of chalk come from? From this world -- or from another dimension beyond mortal reaches?


- Israel Has Been Secretly Funding Syrian Rebels (ISIS, Al Qaeda) For Years
by Tyler Durden, http://www.zerohedge.com/
Earlier, when discussing why the Syrian “rebels” fighting Assad are in “turmoil”, we said that as a result of the ongoing Qatar crisis the various Saudi and Qatari supply chains supporting the rebels, both in terms of weapons and funding, had dried up due to the diplomatic fallout involving Qatar and Saudi Arabia. “Together with Turkey and the United States, Qatar and Saudi Arabia have been major sponsors of the insurgency, arming an array of groups that have been fighting to topple Syria’s Iran-backed president.”
We concluded that “the rebellion against Assad now seems moot, which is why the most likely outcome is a continued phase-out of support for forces fighting the Syria government until eventually the situation reverts back to its pre-2011 “status quo.”
That, however, may have been premature as it was missing a key piece of data, one which was just revealed by the WSJ and which many had suspected. According to the Journal, Israel and Saudi Arabia have been alligned from the onset of the Syrian conflict, “with Israel supplying Syrian rebels near its border with cash as well as food, fuel and medical supplies for years, a secret engagement in the enemy country’s civil war aimed at carving out a buffer zone populated by friendly forces.”
The Israeli army is in regular communication with rebel groups and its assistance includes undisclosed payments to commanders that help pay salaries of fighters and buy ammunition and weapons, according to interviews with about half a dozen Syrian fighters. Israel has established a military unit that oversees the support in Syria—a country that it has been in a state of war with for decades—and set aside a specific budget for the aid, said one person familiar with the Israeli operation.
This news comes as a major surprise because while it was well known that Israel has provided medical help for Syrian civilians and fighters inside its own borders in the past, with the IDF retaliating to occasional stray rockets in the restive border region with reprisals, it was previously thought that the Israeli authorities largely stay out of the complicated six-year-old conflict next door.
That now appears to have been dead wrong. “Israel stood by our side in a heroic way,” said Moatasem al-Golani, spokesman for the rebel group Fursan al-Joulan, or Knights of the Golan. “We wouldn’t have survived without Israel’s assistance.”

For the most part, cricket has been a serious game played by serious people; almost everyone diligently picked one particular vocation and specialised in it until he became a master with either the bat or the ball.
Over the years, as the game embraced new talent, the all-rounder became a major force: he is, by definition, a player who can walk into the side purely as a batsman or just as a bowler. Given the exacting nature of the two crafts, very few have really excelled at it.
Gary Sobers, by consensus, is one player who towered over all with his supreme dexterity on the field; the all-rounder, though, really came into his own when Imran Khan, Ian Botham, Kapil Dev and Richard Hadlee pitted wits and skills against each other, demolishing oppositions in their wake.
Since then, many have aspired and attempted to emulate the amazing quartet without as much success; of course, even before them, there have been brilliant batsmen who could bowl a fair bit, and cunning bowlers who could throw their bats around. The advent of One-day cricket added a new dimension to the game.
As time and overs became preeminent, the bits and pieces player surfaced: this breed rarely managed to graduate to the Test level, or barely sealed a place in the side for only one of his abilities. But when you clubbed the two, he became an integral part of the One-day side; add his agility as a fielder, and you suddenly had an irresistible package.
Like life, however, cricket too often tends to come full circle: the rise of a different format, the T20, is changing the dynamics all over again. In the beginning, teams packed themselves with the same bits and pieces players, hoping they would smash a few runs in the middle overs and sneak in some overs.
As the stakes mounted, captains and think-tanks are discovering that every over, if not every ball, can be the difference between winning and losing. If you look at the ongoing tournament, you will notice that the specialists have reigned. There’s not one single player who features in the top 10 of, both, the Purple Cap and the Orange Cap, lists.
Among the leading batsmen, almost incredibly, not even one of them has turned his arm around; among the top wicket-takers, though, there is Chris Morris, Kevon Cooper, Dwayne Bravo and Thisera Perera who can stake claim to the term all-rounder. Even the quintessential player for all seasons, Jacques Kallis, is No. 31 in the batting list and No. 18 in the bowling rolls.
Yusuf Pathan, Suresh Raina, Chris Gayle — just to name a few — who have traditionally chipped in with crucial wickets are just not being considered for bowling; indeed, almost every team is playing with a full complement of five specialist bowlers that signals the dramatic change in tactics. Is this why big scores have not been forthcoming?
Even on the batting front, we have only seen the specialists coming out first (even though Yusuf Pathan and R Ashwin broke the mould on Saturday); there has been no sign of the pinch-hitter, a bowler who is sacrificed in the hunt for quick runs, either. Hitting begins right at the start and doesn’t end till the last ball; is that why teams are getting bowled out so often?
So, is there a case for going back to the old ways, preserving wickets and launching a full-scale onslaught at the death? Don’t be surprised if method eventually becomes more important than madness again. After all, cricket has never been more serious than now.

Executive summary: ice has a high albedo and reflects most sunlight hitting it back into space. Less ice means less light reflected, more energy absorbed. Arctic ice is in a melt/refreeze cycle, but recently warming has meant less ice refreezing (18% below the long-term average). At some point this enters into a domain of positive feedback and:
Current computer models suggest that the Arctic will be entirely ice-free during summer by the year 2070 but some scientists now believe that even this dire prediction may be over-optimistic, said Professor Peter Wadhams, an Arctic ice specialist at Cambridge University....Sea ice keeps a cap on frigid water, keeping it cold and protecting it from heating up. Losing the sea ice of the Arctic is likely to have major repercussions for the climate, he said. "There could be dramatic changes to the climate of the northern region due to the creation of a vast expanse of open water where there was once effectively land," Professor Wadhams said. "You're essentially changing land into ocean and the creation of a huge area of open ocean where there was once land will have a very big impact on other climate parameters."
But don't worry, the mega-engineers are on the job.
So, Schelling asked, how much would it cost to increase the Earth's albedo by enough to offset the damage from increased greenhouse-gas emissions? The necessary change involves a fraction of a percent of incident solar energy, not enough to be observable without precise instruments. Some apparently minor changes might do the trick: slightly degrading the performance of jet aircraft engines could put more carbon black into the statosphere. A higher-tech solution would be to put lots of reflective mylar in low-earth orbit; a lower-tech solution would be to scatter lots of ping-pong balls in tropical waters; an extremely cute solution, if practicable, would be to stimulate the formation of cirrus clouds over parts of the Pacific Ocean.
So we replace the Arctic ice with ping-pong balls, problem solved!
We are gonna be living in a science-fiction world, like it or not. But it's more Bruce Sterling and Kim Stanley Robinson than Isaac Asimov or Robert Heinlein.


God bless Chick-fil-A: Mississippi College student writes viral song in honor of new eatery
It is clear that Mississippi just can't get enough "chikin".
Mississippi College is set to receive a Chick-fil-A by the summer of 2020.
MC President Blake Thompson broke the news Friday at the Christian university's Faculty/Staff convocation along with student leaders.
Thompson revealed the news with pictures of the Chick-fil-A mascot wearing a t-shirt that said: "Reel Fanz Eat Chikin" on a huge screen at Anderson Hall, according to a news release.
The new eatery will be located in the basement of the renovated Alumni Hall.
One student was so excited to see the popular chicken sandwich franchise come to campus that he wrote a song dedicated to Chick-fil-A.
Morton native Jared Vardaman celebrated by singing God Bless Chick-fil-A, a parody of Lee Greenwood's Proud to be an American and added his own lyrics in the second verse.
He posted the video to his Facebook page with the caption, "In honor of the announcement that Chick-fil-A is coming to MC, here's a little parody to brighten your day!"
The video was shared on social media with, at last count, 27,000 views, 540 likes and 640 shares. Chik-fil-A reached out with a note that corporate officials would send Vardaman "a little surprise".
The junior communications major said singing has always been a part of his life. He started singing at the age of 3 and, to this day, sings with his family group, "The Vardamans".
“It’s been such a whirlwind experience and I’m just trying to wrap my head around it! A fun little song that I recorded in my room has become bigger than I ever could have imagined. It’s honestly really humbling. I guess that just shows you how much people love their Chick-fil-A!”
What to try:Popeye's chicken sandwich and Burger King's tacos. Here are 6 new fast foods you must try

UCLA out to silence critics about NCAA tournament inclusion
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - UCLA is keenly aware that there are questions about whether it's worthy of an NCAA Tournament bid.
The Bruins' answer: Whatever.
For what it's worth, five other tournament schools have the same number of losses as UCLA (20-13). And the 11th-seeded Bruins have won 12 of their past 18 since a five-game midseason slide.
UCLA believes its body of work in one of the nation's toughest conferences speaks for itself. The Bruins will try to prove in Thursday's South region second-round game against No. 6 seed SMU (27-6) that their recent play is more indicative of their credentials than the losing streak or a 39-point loss to No. 1 Kentucky.
"I'm not really worried about what's being said," said senior guard Norman Powell, the Bruins' leading scorer at 16.4 points per game. "I think this team is taking it as a little bit of fuel to their fire and more motivation to go out there and play."
UCLA faces a Mustangs squad led by former Bruins coach Larry Brown, a subplot less important to them than silencing their critics.
"It's been kind of funny to us," UCLA coach Steve Alford said Wednesday of the attention. "When you look at resumes and RPIs that were behind us, it's not like we were the last one in. We didn't get an 8 or 7 seed either. We got an 11 seed, but we weren't the last team in either."
While skeptics focus on UCLA's record, Brown wants his team to concentrate on locking down a Bruins starting lineup all averaging in double figures.
That is, once the Mustangs get past the newness of being in the tournament for the first time since 1993.
"I just want them to worry about how we play," said the Hall of Fame coach, who's back in the field for the first time since leading Kansas to the 1988 national championship.
"You don't have a lot of time to prepare for the people you're playing. So we've got to do the things we value and do them well."
The Bruins believe they're doing that, even if their record doesn't reflect it.
Here are some other things to look for when No. 11 seed UCLA faces No. 6 SMU on Thursday:
FORTY-PERCENT SOLUTION: SMU ranks seventh nationally in field goal defense at 38 percent and must shut down a UCLA offense averaging 72 points per game. Holding opponents below 40 percent from the field has been the key for the Mustangs, who have held 20 of 33 teams below that level and are 19-1 when that happens. The Bruins are shooting 44 percent.
HISTORY LESSON: Alford was a teenager when Brown coached UCLA to the 1980 NCAA final against Louisville and has a fuzzy memory of his two seasons in Westwood. But that loss is part of the program's storied tradition that players see every day, even though their knowledge of Brown is more recent. "Obviously, coach Brown was at UCLA and had a lot of success there in his few years here," Alford said. "But they know coach Brown more from what he did professionally and what he's done even beyond the UCLA years."
DISH MASTER: As if averaging 15.1 points per contest isn't impressive enough, UCLA sophomore guard Bryce Alford ranks 43rd nationally in assists at 5.0 per outing. The coach's son has recorded seven assists each in two of his past five games.
LONG TIME, NO SEE: The schools are meeting for just the third time overall, the first time in postseason and first time at a neutral site. UCLA has won both previous meetings at Pauley Pavilion, the last one 99-71 in the 1976-77 season.

The simple Shepherd boy
He sits in the grass watching his flock
like any good shepard does.
No lust for power, or wish for adventure.
Only to sit and watch his sheep.
Calm and serious, he plays no games.
Though he loves his sheep, he gives them a good whack if it keeps them safe.
His bow at the ready he knows the dangers beyond those trees.
He shoots down any wolf he sees, no mercy for the wolf.
No love for the wolf.
And though he loves his sheep his family is just as loved.
His life is only to protect.
No fear of death.
No regrets for his decisions.
A simple shepherd boy, born for so much more.
He does not wish to be more.
He does not wish to be great.
He merely wishes to watch over his flock.
Though he is flesh like all.
Wishing for a wife.
But not riches.
Nor the love of many women.
He wishes for enough.
He wishes to be simple.
He wishes for one.
Though he is destined for fame.
Destined for riches.
And the love of many women.
He does not wish to kill men.
He does not wish to wield the sword.
Or lead men to war.
But he will kill men.
He will kill more than wolves.
He will wield the sword.
He holds no regrets on his shoulders.
But one day he will hold many.
Does not wish to save the world.
He does not wish to change the world.
But he will save the world.
He will change the world.
He does not wish to leave his flock.
But one day he will.
Hey, sorry if this isn't any good, I never was too good at poetry. This is describing one of my characters from a story of mine. I'm hoping it will give me a better idea of his character so I can try and keep him in character. Reviews are appreciated though.

A dental health care program includes:
· Regular visits to your veterinarian, which include an oral exam
· Veterinary dental cleaning and dental X-rays as advised
· Daily home oral care
Oral Exams by Your Veterinarian: A thorough dental exam can identify potential problems such as plaque and tartar buildup, gingivitis, periodontal disease, and fractured or abscessed teeth.
During an oral exam Dr. Lofsky will:
· Examine the face and head for asymmetry, swelling, or discharges.
· Examine the outside surfaces of teeth and gums, and the “bite.”
· Open the mouth to examine the inner surfaces of the teeth and gums and the tongue, palates, oral mucosa, tonsils, and ventral tongue area.
· Palpate and assess the size, shape, and consistency of the salivary glands and the lymph nodes in the neck.
Dental Cleaning by Dr Lofsky:
To prevent dental disease, your pet needs routine dental care at home. But to perform good home care, you need to start with clean teeth. Brushing will remove plaque but not tartar. So if your pet’s teeth have tartar, it is necessary for your veterinarian to remove it and polish the teeth.
This professional veterinary dental cleaning is often called a prophylaxis or “prophy.” A routine dental cleaning consists of:
· Anesthetizing your pet.
· Flushing the mouth with a solution to kill the bacteria.
· Cleaning the teeth with handheld and ultrasonic scalers. All calculus is removed from above and below the gumline. This is critical and can only be done if the animal is under anesthesia.
· Polishing the teeth to remove microscopic scratches.
· Inspecting each tooth and the gum around it for any signs of disease.
· Flushing the mouth, again, with an antibacterial solution.
· Recording any abnormalities or additional procedures on a dental chart.
· Determining the best follow-up and home dental care program for your pet.
Dental health care is an important part of keeping pets healthy, and, just like you and me, pets need dental x-rays, too. X-rays help us view and then appropriately treat teeth and bone that are hidden from view.
Examining a pet’s mouth can be compared to an iceberg. You may be able to see the exposed tooth or iceberg floating on the water but you will never know what is going on under the gum line unless you x-ray it.
Dental x-ray allows your veterinarian to examine teeth, bone and the supporting structures below the gum line. X-rays often reveal hidden and painful conditions and for that reason, wilmot veterinary clinic recommends dental x-rays during every dental procedure.
When must dental x-rays be taken?
· during every dental procedure
· periodontal disease presence
· loose teeth
· bleeding gums
· broken teeth
· discolored teeth
· missing teeth without explanation
· oral or facial swelling presence
Daily Home Oral Care: Home oral care includes routine examinations of your pet’s mouth and brushing her teeth.
Home oral exam: As you care for your pet’s mouth, look for warning signs of gum disease such as bad breath, red and swollen gums, a yellow-brown crust of tartar around the gumline, and pain or bleeding when you touch the gums or mouth. You should also watch for discolored, fractured, or missing teeth. Your veterinarian should also check any bumps or masses within the mouth.
Oral Care Products: There are several veterinary oral health council diets, treats, and water additives on the market that have been clinically proven to reduce plaque and tartar build-up.

The community standards set forth by Facebook are supposed to protect everyone... unless you're a Black woman. Recently read an article about a Black woman who was receiving death threats on Facebook and Twitter after saying she felt uncomfortable in a Cracker Barrel surrounded by white folks. Did Facebook do anything about the abuse she was receiving? Nah, but they did suspend her account for three days after she posted screenshots of how Facebooks community standards do NOTHING to protect black women from a mob of angry white people.
I, too, have had my fair share of run ins with the horribleness of white men and Facebooks lack of concern for MY safety. I recently posted an article about how there was a law in NC about women not being able to back out of sex once it was underway. I captioned the post "Me. Are Trash"
A few minutes later, that same post was taken down because it didn't go along with the community standards of Facebook-- you can't say MEN ARE TRASH but there's laws out here that protect men from making trash ass decisions that affect women.
So I immediately make a post about how silly Facebook is for making me take down the post when Men truly are trash and should be held accountable for their actions. And GUESS WHAT?!?!!
Yes. Weeks later Facebook once again removed something I posted. But that's not the kicker- I was banned from posting anything for 24hrs 🙄
Yes bitch. Facebook doesn't care about what I have to say in regards to men. I've seen countless racist memes, videos of black bodies being killed by the hands of cops, porn and gross depictions of a man ejaculating on black womens faces, been called a nigger simply for having an opinion about this trash ass Trump administration-- but I report that content to no avail. They stay there for everyone to gawk at. So you know what?? FUCK FACEBOOK. Anything to protect men. This whole country was designed for women, especially minority women, to fail. So I'm no longer giving trash ass Facebook my beautiful commentary. It's now just to house memories from high school and college days. Fuck Facebook. FUCK IT ALL.

McMinn to show work with renowned artists
by Chris Pedler of the Bendigo Advertiser - article appearing 1/8/2017
BENDIGO artist Susan McMinn will exhibit her work along with renowned Australian artists Sidney Nolan and George Lambert.
McMinn’s painting Desert March will be the feature piece in the Melbourne Shrine of Remembrance’s year-long exhibition The Light Horse: Australians in the Middle East 1916-18.
The exhibition focuses on the Australian Light Horse efforts in a campaign against the Ottoman Turks in the desert wastes of Sinai, Palestine and Syria.
McMinn’s inclusion in the exhibition is a point of pride considering she studied works by Nolan and Lambert as part of her Fine Arts PhD at La Trobe University Bendigo in 2012.
“I only realised (who I was exhibiting with) when somebody contacted me over the weekend after they saw a story in The Australian,” McMinn said.
“I saw that article and realised then. It was a bit a surreal but I feel pretty honoured and really excited.”
Artwork: Susan McMinn to be featured with Australian artists Sidney Nolan and George Lambert.
Picture: Darren Howe
As part of her PhD’s thesis, McMinn travelled to Israel to visit sites where Lambert had painted works.
“George Lambert was sent to the Middle East as an Australian war artist. I was really interested in how he captured images of soldiers, horses and landscape,” she said.
“The landscapes are so true to Israel. It was amazing to see, I couldn’t get over it.”
McMinn said compared to Lambert’s work, Nolan was more immediate in capturing the moments.
“His work is very immediate and quick. I was so interested in how he captured these real, immediate drawings,” she said.
“War was so harsh on people’s bodies and the horses as well. There was a little bit of deformity of the body from being put into unusual positions under duress, and Nolan captures that.”
It is not the first time McMinn has exhibited at the Shrine of Remembrance with an exhibition titled Battle of Beersheba, Historical Memorabilia and Contemporary Artwork.
Her first solo exhibition was in the Bendigo District RSL in 2005. Last year she opened the Arnold Street Gallery in North Bendigo.
“I have had a show at the Shrine before. They rang to see if I would put some work in The Light Horse exhibition and used my image as the main one in the publicity, which was exciting,” she said.
As well as Desert March and McMinn’s paintings, one of the artists animations will be featured.
“It is an animation I did in 2009 called The Last War Horse and is on permanent exhibition,” she said.
The Light Horse: Australians in the Middle East 1916-18 is on from October 20, 2017 to October 21, 2018 at the Shrine of Remembrance.

Everyone is looking for a way to distinguish themselves.
Everyone wants love.
We can deny it or hide it, but all of us crave connection and a way to contribute our gifts.
When I feel the lack of these things, I can choose to withdraw. I can choose to rage against those who seem to have what I lack. Or I can choose to make a difference for those who are also in need of connection and contribution.
These people are everywhere. They are my neighbors. They are my enemies or my competitors. They are the strangers I fear or the friends I have yet to meet.
If I remember this when my own plans (for who should love me, or who should value my gifts) crumble, I will thrive.

The next-gen GT-R is said to be earmarked for production in 2028 or 2029.
Nissan showcased its latest “Hyper” concept at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show in the form of the Hyper Force. The new Nissan Hyper Force concept sits alongside 4 other concept vehicles, part of the brand’s “Hyper” banner. This includes Hyper Urban, Hyper Adventure, Hyper Tourer and Hyper Punk.
The new Nissan Hyper Force is an all-electric supercar with solid-state batteries, powering all four wheels via Nissan’s E-Force system. The electric powertrain is said to produce over 1,300 BHP, which, combined with the lightweight carbon-fibre construction, should offer an exhilarating performance both on and off the track. Nissan is also said to have taken help from its performance division, Nismo, to optimise the car’s aero for better downforce and cooling.
Inside, the supercar concept features ambient lighting depending on the driving mode selected, of which there are two: GT (Grand Touring) and R (Racing). In GT mode, the cabin is illuminated in Blue, while in R mode, the lights go Red, and the displays separate and move towards the driver to provide essential track information.
The Hyper Force also comes with augmented reality to allow owners to compete against each other while on a circuit. There is also a virtual reality mode to “drive” even when the car itself is stationary.
The next-gen GT-R is said to be earmarked for production in 2028 or 2029. The next-gen model will be powered by the solid-state batteries previewed in the Hyper Force. Nissan will set up a pilot plant for solid-state batteries next year before entering mass production in 2028.

Detective Conan, also known as Case Closed is one of the longest-spanning anime and manga that are currently ongoing. The franchise, therefore, had enough time to be extremely popular not only in its native Japan but also in China and elsewhere, since many fans grew up with it. But when any work goes on for more than decades, you might lose track at some point, and rumors will abound. So, is Detective Conan Case Closed finishing soon, and when?
Unless you're among the fans who grew up with the manga and show, you might have been a bit intimidated to tackle them due to the sheer number of volumes/episodes, so here's a short overview:
Detective Conan first saw the light of day in 1994, as a detective manga written and illustrated by Gosho Aoyama. The manga is being marketed as a shonen work. As of April 2021, the impressive amount of 99 tankobon volumes has been released – many shonen works are huge, but it's not every day that you see one close to acquiring a three-digit number of volumes.
Since 1996, the show was adopted by TMS Entertainment, also home to Fruits Basket, and never really stopped airing for good. You can find Detective Conan episodes on both Funimation and Crunchyroll, but there are over 1000 of them, so be warned!
In Detective Conan we follow the adventures of a high school detective who is attacked by criminals during an investigation and is forced to ingest poison. Surprisingly, he is not killed but transformed into a child with all memories of his life until that moment. Distressing as this is, he won't let it keep him from his call to solve crimes.
Adopting the persona of a child named Conan, he moves in with his childhood friend and her father, a detective, and tags along in his investigations, often being the one to close the case through creative impersonations. He also enrolls in a primary school, where he leads the next generation of young detectives.
Not only is Detective Conan fun, but some educational value has also been noted, with the Japanese government has used it to raise children's awareness regarding criminality. Many older anime fans have fond memories of watching the show or reading the manga when young, but when something spans for so long, you come to wonder if it will ever end.
As it seems, the case of Detective Conan might close in the not too distant future. The exact date of the final volume and final episode is still unknown Gosho Aoyama reportedly knows the ending he wants the series to have, although this is still under lock and key, and will likely remain for a few more years.
Since Detective Conan has always been a bit of a slow burn, alternating between small hints about the whereabouts of the criminals who fed Conan poison, other cases, and character development, some fans speculate the author will need many more years to give a satisfying conclusion, while others think that he has built up enough for the series to become much more fast-paced soon and eventually end. Or, it might be that the creator doesn't plan to retire anytime soon at all, and just knows the ending but plans to do much, much more before getting there.
Until the very last chapter and an episode of Detective Conan become available, we won't know for sure. What we do know, is that their release date will be bittersweet for many long-time fans.

Obama’s excuse for his illegal amnesty will be that the immigration system is “broken” forcing him to act. But when Obama says that the system is broken, he means that some parts of it still work and so he intends to break immigration all the way through to benefit his own corrupt political allies.
That will hurt his own voters the most, but the Democratic Party has a notoriously masochistic relationship with its voting base. It beats them up and then it gaslights them by hugging them and telling them that it was really the mean Republicans who punched them in the face.
When African-American unemployment rates rise, the workers who can’t find jobs because of all the brand new DREAMERs won’t blame the White House, they’ll blame the evil Republicans for income inequality, assuming Sharpton manages to read the term correctly from his MSNBC teleprompter.
According to Obama our immigration system is broken because it doesn’t allow illegal aliens who illegally crossed the border to take American jobs. That’s not a broken system, that’s what the system is supposed to do.
When illegal aliens aren’t allowed to legally take American jobs, that’s how you know the immigration system is working.
In the language of progressivism, helping means ruining and fixing means breaking. A system that fulfills any useful purpose must be reformed out of all usefulness. If the tattered shreds of the immigration system still keep a single Democratic voter from legally cashing a welfare check and casting a vote, then immigration must be reformed and helped and fixed until it is completely destroyed.
The immigration system is broken because it was reformed so many times that it makes as much sense as an outhouse on a space shuttle. Its main function now is to bring millions of people without jobs to a country where millions are out of work. Obama wants to fix that by adding millions more people.
Our system of immigration is a perfectly good system for importing lots of low wage workers. The only problem is they’re being imported into a country where there are a lot more low wage workers than there are jobs. The cost of providing food stamps and social services for the immigrants and the Americans they put out of work is passed on to the shrinking middle class which kills more jobs.
Some Republicans would like to modify it to help Mark Zuckerberg bring cheaper third world programmers and engineers to replace the Americans over at Facebook. Why settle for just wiping out the working class, when you can also take out chunks of the middle class?
Our immigration system made perfect sense back when we were opening factories everywhere. It made sense when new ranches needed hands and land needed working. It makes a lot less sense when the government is fighting a war on carbon, when ranches have to get out of the way of the spotted red toad and farms are starved of water in the name of the environment.
The million immigrants a year are not entering booming industries, but serving as cheap labor in declining ones. And they’re doing it in a country where declining industries and poor workers are already being subsidized by taxpayers in a dozen different ways. Why then should taxpayers also be subsidizing the replacement of American workers with Somali and Honduran workers?
Who benefits from that except the Democratic Party which not only killed the industries, but is now managing to kill the American workforce? The glorious future of the new economy is a government subsidized Chinese factory using foreign workers to make subsidized solar panels in Oklahoma while taxpayers remain on the hook for the subsidies which used bonds sold to Chinese investors.
Declining industries tighten their belts by cutting costs. They find the cheapest employees they can. Those cheapest employees become a constituency for the nanny state. The nanny state makes it even more expensive to operate. The cycle spins on until the only industries left are state subsidized and everyone directly or indirectly works for the state. And the only items of collateral with which to borrow more money to subsidize them with are the land and the people. That’s not America. That’s Africa.
The Obama economy has created mostly low wage jobs. Those jobs continue to be filled by immigrants. There still aren’t enough jobs so Obama is proposing to create even less jobs by adding more immigrants by legalizing more illegal aliens.
There is something broken here, but it’s not so much immigration as Obama and his party.
Last week I spoke to a British immigration lawyer who described how difficult it was for seniors in the United Kingdom to retire in the United States. While most countries welcome wealthy retirees, our system makes it difficult for them to move and bring their money over here.
Meanwhile in his 2013 State of the Union address, Obama had praised Desiline Victor, a 102-year-old Haitian woman who had moved to the United States at around 80 and never learned to speak English, but did spend hours waiting in line in Florida to vote for Obama. There are plenty of senior immigrants coming through family reunification for a big bite of a social welfare system they never paid into.
But the Democratic Party would rather have a voter than a worker. And so what we have is not an immigration system, but a migration system.
That’s why Obama and his people fought so hard against an Ebola travel ban. It’s why the New York Times editorialized against allowing Cuban doctors to defect because of the “brain drain” but instead urged that “American immigration policy should give priority to the world’s neediest refugees.”
America certainly takes in plenty of needy people, but what the New York Times is emphasizing is that we should be taking in people with nothing to contribute and keeping out those who do. Its ideal immigrant will at best be a low wage worker and at worst a permanent welfare case. We don’t want Cuban doctors. We want Somali muggers and Liberian Ebola cases and Pakistani terrorists.
Immigration is not meant to serve American interests. America is meant to serve immigration.
The end result of this immigration policy will be a stratified society with a permanent lower class and a thin upper class whose leftists can always start a riot by shouting about income equality without ever being able to offer it. Without social mobility what we will have left is social instability. There will be lots of young men with time on their hands to build bombs or throw stones.
If the left doesn’t win through the system, they’ll have their revolutionary constituency standing by.
The only way we can afford the immigration policy that we have now is with a lot more industry and a lot less welfare. Instead our immigration rates were widened and rerouted to the Third World even as our actual industries declined. We kept on taking workers we didn’t have jobs for. We built ghettoes and rust belts and our politicians kept on reciting robotic speeches about being a nation of immigrants.
Immigration requires opportunity. We still have it, but less of it than we used to. Our immigration system is not based on opportunity. It’s based on a migratory flow of Democratic Party voters.
What broke the system was making it as open as possible to those who had the least to offer while closing it tightly to those who had the most to offer. Now Obama wants to import illegal aliens while deporting American jobs. He wants to trade American jobs to illegal aliens for Democratic votes.
If the immigration system is to work again, it should work for America… not for Obama.

More happy campers: Alberta campgrounds begin releasing sites in return to full capacity
Some sites came up for grabs Thursday
Good news for tent campers, trailer adventurers and backcountry explorers keen to snag a spot in one of Alberta's provincial campgrounds.
With health restrictions that had kept Alberta's provincial campgrounds operating at 50 per cent capacity being lifted, the first wave of previously blocked sites came up for grabs on Thursday.
The return of Alberta provincial campgrounds to 100 per cent capacity was among the many pieces of the Stage 2 relaunch strategy announced by Premier Jason Kenney earlier this week.
The availability of the campsites was announced by Alberta Parks on Twitter on Thursday afternoon.
The sites will be made available "in phases" and would-be campers are encouraged to keep checking the reservation website for their campground of choice, Alberta Parks said.
⚠ Important Update: Sites are currently being made available on https://t.co/XeJtAGQsNJ in phases as we work towards opening campgrounds to 100% capacity. Keep checking in for your favourite campground. pic.twitter.com/RYHzJwbdv1—@Albertaparks
Some campgrounds will be operating at full capacity as early as Friday but officials are still working out the "operational details."
The new onslaught of camping spots comes one day before the next phase of the government's economic relaunch plan is set to begin.
Provincial campgrounds were just among the dozens of business and services included Stage 2, which will see many Albertans carefully emerging from isolation and embracing new freedoms this weekend.
- Alberta will move to Stage 2 of relaunch on Friday, premier says
- Uncertainty meets unbridled enthusiasm as Alberta flings open the relaunch doors
COVID-19 took a toll on the spring camping season this year.
Provincial parks began the season behind schedule and operating at 50 per cent occupancy. The cap on bookings was intended to encourage physical distancing and reduce the number of campers using trails and shared facilities at the peak of the pandemic.
Camping reservations were cancelled by random selection and bookings were shuffled to accommodate the health directives. Reservations were closed to out-of-province campers. Group camping areas and comfort camping sites, including yurts and cabins, were shut down for the season.
The rush to get the select sites still available overwhelmed the provincial website, causing it to repeatedly crash and the ministry's social media staff to plead with frustrated users for patience.
The site appeared to be working well on Thursday afternoon with many of the coveted sites already filling up.
Some national parks have reopened for partial day use earlier this month but are expected to remain closed to camping until at least June 21. Ottawa will assess whether camping should resume at that point.
