An hour before the House’s Thursday vote formally laying out the process of the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, Speaker Nancy Pelosi took the House floor to set the tone: resolute, yet somber.
“This is something that is very solemn,” Pelosi said, standing next to a posterboard of the American flag. “Nobody ... comes to Congress to impeach a president of the United States.”
The pivotal resolution passed the House 232 to 196. Two moderate Democrats, Reps. Collin Peterson (D-MN) and Jeff Van Drew (D-NJ) voted against the resolution, joining all House Republicans. Rep. Justin Amash (I-MI), who recently left the Republican Party, voted in favor.
Thursday’s vote showed how far a once-splintered Democratic caucus has come on impeachment. A few months ago, many Democrats including Pelosi didn’t want to broach the subject — saying the public clearly didn’t support it. But the explosive revelations that Trump had asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to dig up political dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden, and allegations the president tied that demand to US military aid changed everything.
As evidence has mounted and Trump administration officials has come forward to testify in front of House committees, public support for impeachment has grown, according to polling tracking from FiveThirtyEight.
Democrats on the impeachment committees say the resolution will allow the American public to witness what committee members have seen behind closed doors over the past six weeks. They plan to call career administration officials who have served in both Republican and Democratic administrations as witnesses.
Public hearings are expected to begin in two to three weeks, Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA), who sits on one of the committees leading the inquiry, told Vox.
“I think there are a number of witnesses here who are incredibly believable,” Lynch told Vox outside the House floor Thursday. “There’s a lot there. With the quality of the evidence and the quality of the witnesses, there’s a substantial body of work here that’s we’ve produced in the last six weeks.”
“We still got more interviews to conduct,” said Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX), a moderate Republican who sits on the House Intelligence Committee.
For months, as calls for an impeachment inquiry in the House has escalated among Democrats, Pelosi has been a voice of caution, warning impeachment could be too divisive. But on Thursday, Pelosi appeared no longer interested in these concerns.
“We cannot ignore, and we will not ignore when the president’s behavior indicates that investigation, that inquiry is necessary,” Pelosi said. “As the inquiry proceeds, we’ll decide whether we’ll go forward with impeachment, that decision has not been made.”
At a press conference before the vote, she closed her remarks with the hint of a smile: “I have business on the floor that I have to see to,” Pelosi told reporters, on her way to take the Speaker’s chair on the House floor.
The political tide on impeachment has officially changed
For months before the Ukraine scandal broke, Pelosi had been hesitant to wade into a full-blown impeachment inquiry, fearing it could put moderate Democratic lawmakers in danger ahead of the 2020 elections.
But the Ukraine scandal changed everything. The focus on Democrats’ impeachment inquiry hasn’t faded. Instead, a steady stream of witnesses have come forward to talk to lawmakers, sharing grave concerns around Trump’s behavior. Thursday’s vote demonstrated a substantial amount of unity within the Democratic caucus on impeachment.
Just two moderate Democrats ultimately defected, including Van Drew, who was first elected in November. Hours before the vote, another lawmaker who had previously been an impeachment holdout, Rep. Kendra Horn (D-OK), announced she would vote for the resolution.
Van Drew, however, told reporters he viewed the whole exercise as a waste of time. Trump won Van Drew’s district in 2016, and Van Drew flipped the district from Republican to Democrat in a surprisingly tight race in 2018. The former dentist whose district includes Atlantic City, has long been a vocal opponent of the inquiry (earning praise from none other than Trump).
“I think this splits the country apart further, it is only about 13 months until an election,” the Democrat, wearing a pinstripe suit, told a scrum of reporters. “Let’s let the people choose. let them impeach if they want to impeach. I don’t think he will be convicted in the Senate, so we will have [put in] all this time, all this money all this energy all this effort, [for] a failed impeachment, the same president and the same presidential candidates.”
Aside from Van Drew and fellow anti-impeachment moderate Collin Peterson, whose district Trump carried by 30 points in 2016, the broader caucus was firmly united in the final vote, an outcome that members of the party celebrated. “I didn’t think there were any defections, really,” House oversight committee member John Sarbanes (D-MD) told Vox. “There was this giant Democratic vote in support of it, I thought that was pretty awesome.”
“Everyone in a vote of this magnitude has to do what they feel is right and what’s right for their constituents,” added Rep. Katherine Clark (D-MA), the vice-chair of the House Democratic Caucus.
Pelosi’s own caution toward impeachment in the past has now become part of her pitch to the American public: that Democrats’ slow inch toward a formal proceeding was part of a deliberative process. That, however, has not warded off Republicans’ complaints.
This was a procedural vote. Republicans are still complaining about process.
Republicans took the floor one by one Thursday morning to call the investigation into Trump a scam, question Pelosi’s leadership, and peg Democrats as shady, secretive agents desperately rushing to take down a political foe.
“Trying to put a ribbon on a sham process doesn’t make it any less of a sham,” Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), one of Trump’s close allies and staunch defenders in the House said on the House floor ahead of the speech.
Republicans have been focused on a provision in the resolution around witnesses. The minority will be allowed to call up their own witnesses, but only if they submit “a detailed written justification of the relevance” of testimony and if either Schiff or a majority vote on the committee gives approval. The measure is one way Democrats are hoping to prevent Republicans from derailing proceedings. It’s also consistent with how such requests have been handled in prior impeachment probes.
Standing next to a poster with a hammer and sickles, Republican Minority Whip Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) called the House Democrats impeachment inquiry “37 Days of Soviet-style impeachment proceedings,” to a round of applause from his Republican House colleagues.
“Maybe in the Soviet Union you do things like this where only you make the rules,” Scalise said. “Where you reject the ability for the perp you are accusing to even be in the room, to question what’s going on.”
For weeks Republicans were quick to point out that Democrats began conducting an investigation without voting on an impeachment resolution, skirting a traditional procedural step. Now, that Democrats have voted on the resolution — with near unanimity — Republicans’ procedural talking points have shifted.
Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) argued that the vote itself was indicative of how Democrats were abusing the process. “I’m very dismayed by the process, even on the floor, that they wouldn’t recognize the minority,” she told Vox. “We need transparency.”
What’s next on impeachment
The resolution the House just passed lays out the procedures around public hearings. But there’s no set date for when those public hearings will start.
Rep. Lynch, a Massachusetts Democrat who sits on the House Oversight Committee and has been in the closed-door depositions, told Vox he expects public hearings to start in the next two to three weeks. Lawmakers are now headed home for a week of recess, which means they have two weeks to conduct public hearings before the Thanksgiving holiday.
Although many in the Democratic caucus once said they believed impeachment would be wrapped up by the end of the year, it’s not clear if that timeline is achievable. Pelosi, for one, has not put any such timeline out.
Even though Thursday’s vote was momentous, Pelosi was still treading cautiously on the subject of whether Democrats would ultimately impeach the president.
“As the inquiry proceeds, we’ll decide whether we’ll go forward with impeachment, that decision has not been made,” Pelosi told reporters.
More immediately, Lynch said there are still a few remaining details to be ironed out in the coming weeks; the committees conducting the impeachment inquiry want to speak to Trump’s former National Security Adviser John Bolton, and are still in a “tug of war” with the State Department over documents they’ve requested. But Lynch told Vox he thinks the committees are building a solid case, which they’re preparing to make public.
“It gives a lot of people plenty to think about,” Lynch said. “Like Speaker Pelosi, I won’t get ahead of that process, but the time with witnesses and the time with the evidence has been well-spent, and I think there’s a case to be made.”

From November until March, the Chattanooga Community Kitchen operated nearly 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to provide shelter for more than 100 people who had no place else to go.
Kitchen officials said they can't do that again this November, at least not in the same way.
"It was incredibly taxing," Kitchen Assistant Director Jens Christensen said. "Having people together 24 hours a day. It was cabin fever. There was no time to maintain the facility."
The hope is that an agency or some group of agencies will step up to provide a second permanent emergency shelter to help people get into permanent housing. So far, no organization or agency is filling that gap.
The Chattanooga Rescue Mission offers the only emergency shelter in the city, and it has only 60 beds.
"We need to look at how our resources can work together and then figure out how much is needed to fill in gaps," said Mary Simons, executive director of the Chattanooga Homeless Coalition. "We're at the point where all of the partners are being identified. It's yet to be determined what others can bring to the table."
Chattanooga Community Kitchen officials started meeting with 37 social service agencies and city representatives this month and plan to meet with them throughout the summer to share what the kitchen has learned through its hands-on experience.
The kitchen provided the bare necessities: a dry, controlled climate with mat, blanket and bathroom facilities. No job skills training. No counseling. Yet about 118 people on average stayed there every night, said Christensen.
The youngest client was 6 months old; the oldest was 80.
The kitchen spent about $300 a night to operate the shelter, and that's one of the reasons officials say they can't do it again. Operating at that cost creates no sustainability, said Christensen.
It amounts to about $2.50 per person, but a more accurate cost may be about $8.50 to $11.50, the cost the Federal Emergency Management Agency reimburses per person for each night in a shelter. Christensen said the kitchen received no money from FEMA to operate its shelter.
Casey Kendall, case manager for Chattanooga Room in the Inn, which provides transitional shelter housing for homeless women and children, said she knows Chattanooga is capable of providing emergency shelter.
"There's obviously a need, and there's money in the community," she said. "It's just: What do we want to spend the money on?"
Even this spring when weather isn't as cold as in the winter months, the Room in the Inn has been filled, she said.
Maybe people sleeping under a bridge or in an abandoned building want to sleep at the Community Kitchen, but they should at least have a choice, said people visiting the day room at the kitchen.
Carol Phillips said she has slept in a tent on ice in the cold because she had nowhere to go.
"We have had so many people dying, being cold," said Phillips. "There is a big need to have something for women, families, for everybody."
Twenty-three people who were helped by the Community Kitchen died in 2010, and at least one of them died as a direct result of the cold, said kitchen officials.
The kitchen started operating the emergency shelter in 2011 to make sure there was always an alternative to sleeping outdoors in cold weather.
Richard Beeland, spokesman for Mayor Ron Littlefield, said the city can't provide a shelter but it can work with another agency to help find a spot for a shelter and help secure all necessities to operate it.
The goal is also to work collaboratively to provide programming that will get people who come to the shelter into housing. The shelter is not a destination, Simons said.
Christensen said that, ideally, the group will have a plan organized for a shelter by November.
Albert Greer, a homeless man, said he's seen some people turned away at the Chattanooga Rescue Mission because there aren't not enough beds.
"That's not enough to accommodate all of the people on the streets," he said.

Une femme est une femme ("A Woman Is a Woman") is a 1961 film directed by Jean-Luc Godard.
It relates the story of a young woman named Angela Récamier (Anna Karina) who greatly wants to have a child and repeatedly requests so of her lover, Émile (Jean-Claude Braily). When he refuses to impregnate her and they begin a long fight, Angéla sleeps with Alfred (Jean-Paul Belmondo), Émile's best friend, out of spite and desperation.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall:
- Early in the film Angela meets Alfred in the street. He asks to talk to her. She blows him off and goes into a club, leading Alfred to look directly into the camera and say "And off she goes."
- Before a scene where Angela melodramtically accuses Emile of not loving her, she says that they have to acknoweldge the audience. So they both turn to the camera, bow, and then continue playing the scene.
- Angela delivers her last line "I am a woman" looking straight at the camera. Then she winks.
- The Cameo: Alfred is right next to Jeanne Moreau in a coffee shop. He asks her how Jules and Jim is going (it was released the next year).
- Celebrity Paradox: At one point, Alfred, played by Jean-Paul Belmondo, tells Emile and Angela that he doesn't want to miss a TV broadcast of Breathless, which stars... Jean-Paul Belmondo.
- The End: The film ends with the camera panning up to the building across the street, where a neon sign says "FIN".
- Fanservice Extra: There are a lot of strippers at the club, including a quick shot of a lady wearing nothing but bikini briefs, and another who gets topless in a series of Jump Cuts for Emile (even in France, this was daring for 1961).
- Hand-or-Object Underwear: The same stripper who provided Toplessness from the Back then walks through the backstage of the strip club holding her hands over her breasts.
- Imagine Spot: Angela, who has a habit of making random comments out of nowhere, says that she'd like to be in a musical. And then for an instant she is, complete with costume change as she's briefly dancing on the sidewalk, before the brief sequence ends and she's back to what she was wearing before.
- Jump Cut: A Godard trademark. One very brief sequence has Angela leave her friend in the street, followed by a series of quick jump cuts between random locations (the street, her apartment, what appears to be a shop) before meeting Alfred in the coffee shop. Later, there are a series of jump cuts for Emile shot in a very similar manner, after Angela has left following his refusal to impregnate her.
- Literal Ass-Kicking: A scene where Angela and Alfred are striking poses ends with both of them posing with their hands on their knees. She turns around and kicks him in the butt.
- Lost in Translation: The final pun. In the end Émile says "Angéla, tu es infâme" ("Angela, you are horrid"), and she retorts, "Non, je suis une femme" ("No, I am a woman").
- The Criterion Collection DVD subtitles change the translation slightly to give us this: "Angela, damn you." "No, a dame, me."
- A later Criterion edition translates Emile's last line as "You are a bad omen."
- Love Triangle: For Angela, Émile, and Alfred.
- Match Cut: Angela, coming back from her act wearing nothing but a towel, points to some piece of clothing and asks if she can try it on. She passes behind a pillar—cut to the pillar from the opposite direction as Angela passes out from behind it, wearing the smart red blouse that she wanted to try.
- Meaningful Name: Alfred Lubitsch is, of course, named after Ernst Lubitsch.
- Running Gag: Emile and Angela live next door to a hooker, who has a phone. They are continually using/borrowing the hooker's phone, only to have the john of the day pass by them on the way out.
- Shout-Out: Godard throws in several references to French New Wave films, including his own.
- When Emile and Angela first call Alfred up to their apartment, he says he doesn't want to miss Breathless on TV. He must think he looks like the male lead...
- Angela and a friend have a conversation about the latter getting a job as a stripper which includes references to two then-contemporary New Wave films.
- Angela's friend has just been to the cinema, and Angela asks her what she saw. Her friend mimes playing a piano and then firing a gun; Angela correctly identifies this as a charade for Shoot the Piano Player and enthuses over Charles Aznavour's performance as Édouard/Charlie.
- When the conversation turns to business, Angela explains that the club proprietor wants girls for a show in Marseilles. She mentions another dancer, Lola, who set out for Marseilles but ended up in Buenos Aires, a reference to Lola, released earlier that year.
- Alfred meets an uncredited Jeanne Moreau in a bar and asks her how things are going on Jules and Jim (in which she played the female lead, Catherine).
- Toplessness from the Back: One of the strippers at Angela's club shucks off a dress and walks away wearing nothing but tights on her bottom.
- You Can Leave Your Hat On: Angela's a stripper, and there are many scenes at the strip club, including her number (although this movie is 1961 so there's a Sexy Discretion Shot).

The world is moving forward, and so does the healthcare industry. Nowadays, digital health care is an integral part of this progress. That is why modern technologies such as transcription, telemedicine, and cloud storage significantly improve documentation accuracy.
Integrating technologies into existing processes is the most effective way to use them. For example, healthcare providers can use voice recognition software to quickly and accurately transcribe spoken information into written documents. Furthermore, health professionals can use cloud-based document storage systems to store patient information securely and make it available to authorized personnel.
How Digital Health Care Has Changed Over Time
Digital health care has evolved significantly over the past few decades. In the early days, healthcare professionals used electronic health records (EHRs) mainly for administrative purposes, such as billing and scheduling. Today, they are useful for storing and sharing patient data such as medical history and test results. At the same time, telemedicine has become an increasingly popular way for patients to access healthcare services remotely.
Overall, modern technologies help providers deliver better care. They also allow patients to better manage their health data and interact with providers in real time. As the industry continues to evolve, modern technologies will evidently play an essential role in the future of digital health care.
Examples of Modern Technologies in Digital Health Care
The technologies that healthcare providers use to improve their services include the following:
- Digital Cloud Storage: This technology allows medical professionals to store patient data in the cloud, allowing for better organization and access to patient records and quickly sharing information with other medical professionals. The data is secure and encrypted, which ensures patient privacy and security.
- Patient Identification: This innovation uses biometric data such as fingerprints or iris scans to positively identify patients. This technology can ensure accurate patient records and reduce medical errors. It also helps to prevent fraud and identity theft.
- Medical Transcription: It helps to convert spoken words into written text. Medical professionals make use of this to quickly and accurately document patient visits and treatments. It also helps ensure accurate documentation and reduces potential medical errors.
These are just a few modern technologies used in digital health care. As technology advances, more innovations will undoubtedly improve the accuracy and efficiency of medical documentation. By utilizing these modern technologies, medical professionals can ensure accurate patient records and reduce the risk of medical errors.
Benefits of Modern Technologies in Digital Health Care
Technological advancements help medical professionals provide more accurate and efficient care than ever before, as tracking and managing documents is no longer difficult. With transcription services from providers such as GoTranscript, healthcare professionals can now easily prepare patient records and have them easily accessible in multiple file formats.
Technology can also help reduce paperwork and administrative costs associated with traditional systems. It reduces errors in documentation and improves the accuracy of diagnoses and treatments. Furthermore, it can help practitioners provide more personalized care, as they can quickly access patient information and tailor treatments to the individual’s needs.
In addition, transcription enables doctors to refer to and understand their patients better by having readily-accessible transcripts of everything discussed.
Likely Challenges of Modern Technologies in Digital Healthcare
Companies’ main challenge when integrating modern technology with their healthcare systems is ensuring data privacy and security. As healthcare data is highly sensitive, ensuring that the technology is secure enough and that only authorized personnel can access it is paramount. However, transcription services with high data encryption can solve this problem.
The cost of implementation is another challenge, especially for smaller healthcare providers. As with any technology, there is a heavy need to invest money in expensive hardware, software, and training to ensure correct and secure usage. Additionally, there is the cost of upkeep and maintenance of the technology and security measures to protect the data.
Finally, technology can be complex for some. Many healthcare professionals are unfamiliar with these innovations and may lack the skills to use them effectively, leading to errors in data entry and incorrect results.
Improving Documentation Accuracy With Modern Technologies
The accuracy of medical documents is essential for proper patient care and record-keeping in the digital healthcare industry. With the rapid advancement of modern technologies, there are now several effective ways to ensure accuracy when documenting patient information.
Healthcare providers can now capture more accurate information by utilizing modern technology efficiently. At the same time, voice recognition software can help to swiftly prepare written documents of unmatched precision on just about any patient history.
Start Using Modern Technologies to Improve Document Accuracy
The world is witnessing a surge in the use of modern technologies in digital healthcare. Its effects are felt even more in how doctors and other professionals handle patient information. Considering that document accuracy is of utmost importance in this industry, using technologies like mobile transcription, cloud storage, patient identification, and telemedicine makes everyone’s work easier.

Szymon was a bright, brilliant talent whose music, though written many years ago has remained timeless in its sound. The young Newcastle artist mastered the art of humble yet hypnotic art-pop - stunning and shimmering and hopeful. Sadly, Szymon lost his life at just 23 years of age. Lovingly curated by family and friends, Tigersapp is the record Szymon would have released, a glimpse into the vibrant world he hoped to share. It will be released next Friday, August 21 on Eloper Music, with distribution by EMI Music and is available for pre-order now.
-Medusa' is the third single from his posthumous debut album -Tigersapp'. It demonstrates a known voice, challenging, timeless and diverse in its exploration. Today, we are proud to present the stunning video from Italian artist/animator Sergio Pastore. A visual accompaniment through the gentle journey that is -Medusa' and with a nod to the likes of Studio Ghibli, the animation plays with ideas of connection and of continuity. Click on the pic below to watch the video:
Szymon worked tirelessly throughout 2008 to record an album worth of songs, and was on the verge of signing a record deal with EMI at just 19. Tragically, the darkness of mental illness began to fall at the same time and it was decided his treatment had to come first. Nevertheless, he continued to write, even as his battles with depression became more debilitating. In the end, the world became unbearable and Szymon took his own life in December 2012.
Unwavering believers in his talent and potential, they collaborated with fellow supporters Craig Hawker (Sony ATV) and Mark Holland (EMI) to give the album the spotlight it deserved.
"Szymon had a rare energy and enthusiasm for his craft," says Hawker. 'I'd told Szymon that whenever he was ready I would love to put out his music but I never expected that it would be without him here. His music has felt like a secret for a long time now and I'm proud to play a part in helping people to discover and celebrate a young talent's life and work."
-Medusa' follows on from his stirring debut offering, -Katyusha', and Hype Machine chart topping second single -Golden' which has had over 127,000 streams on Soundcloud.
Mixed in part by Rusty Santos (Animal Collective, Owen Pallett) and Ian Pritchett (Angus & Julia Stone), Tigersapp is a rich and touching testament to the talents of this singer-songwriter-composer. Borzestowski built lush layers of guitar, bass, woodwind, drums, synth and samples in his humble home-studio, under the moniker of his first name. It's a cruel blow that Szymon's not here to witness it, but it's a small comfort his life's work can now finally be shared.
In the words of his siblings: 'Releasing Szymon's album is bittersweet. We used to dream about playing with him and watching him play on stages. We finally now have the opportunity to release his music and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do."

So I’m not going to torture you with a sunny vacay spot thats hot and tropical because quite frankly, I can’t do it. These sheets of ice on the sidewalk have hindered my abilities to venture the interweb for places that we all are longing to be. However, I would like to share something that is just as awesome and beautiful as the waters of Bora Bora. Alaska!
Taking an Alaskan cruise has always been a dream of mine. These cruises allow you to see wildlife and national parks from the view of the ship and also offers a beautiful view. Something I would be most interested in is seeing The Great Land’s glaciers. “The Great Land” is the meaning of “Alyeska”, obviously the derivative of “Alaska”. This land is known for its lush forests, high mountain peaks, and tons of wildlife, such as grizzlys and moose. You can travel through the gulf of Alaska, or if lucky, cruise through the Inside Passage, a coastal route extending from southeastern Alaska through western British Columbia. The passage offers ideal scenery and gives onlookers a feeling of refreshment and clarity.
If you are seriously considering taking this cruise you will experience a whole new aspect of the world that you never thought you would. An alaskan cruise is filled with culture, nature, and most importantly, a beautiful view. Never did I think I would long to go to Alaska so badly. I would absolutely sacrifice a week on the beach if it meant seeing the beauty that an Alaskan cruise had to offer.

Amgen ($AMGN) won a landmark approval for a re-engineered virus designed to fight skin cancer, preparing to launch a first-of-its-kind therapy that could star in future combination treatments.
The injection, called talimogene laherparepvec, is a so-called oncolytic immunotherapy, using a genetically modified strain of the herpes virus to invade tumors and replicate itself, thereby killing cancer and spurring an immune response to multiply its effect. Abbreviated T-Vec, the treatment is approved for inoperable melanoma that has already endured first-line therapy, and Amgen plans to launch it within a week under the brand name Imlygic.
In the Phase III trial supporting its approval, injecting T-Vec into melanoma lesions shrank tumors at a statistically significant rate, meeting the primary endpoint of the study, but Amgen's treatment fell narrowly short of hitting its secondary goal of extending overall survival. The mixed results haven't hampered Amgen's case to regulators, however, and Imlygic is in line for European approval by year's end.
Amgen expects the drug to cost an average of $65,000 per patient, saying the variability of dosing for each person makes it difficult to nail down an exact price.
As is the case for all cancer immunotherapies, Imlygic's most promising future may lie as part of a combination therapy. Recognizing its potential, Amgen is collaborating with Merck ($MRK) on a study pairing its treatment with the PD-1-blocking Keytruda in melanoma and head and neck cancer. And Roche ($RHHBY) has signed on to match its atezolizumab, a PD-L1 therapy, with T-Vec in breast and colon cancers.
Amgen acquired the treatment in 2011 in its $1 billion deal for 2009 Fierce 15 honoree BioVex.

The flexibility and scalability of cloud computing for business lets a business grow without exorbitant equipment and software costs attached. Plus, using cloud software frees your employees to work from anywhere – conferences, manufacturing plants, satellite offices, etc. Businesses that have already moved to the cloud benefitted from a workforce ready to work from home during the COVID-19 pandemic, thus driving collaboration efficiency.
A full move to cloud computing not only improves efficiency overall and in individual work processes; it provides a foundation of business continuity, a cornerstone of every business’s emergency plan. Erasing the times of unrecoverable data loss has shored up the health of companies. Techjury reports 80% of businesses find that incorporating cloud technology has a positive impact and report operation improvements almost immediately after adopting cloud technology.
All of this integration comes together to help the typical office employee who doesn’t know SQL but needs to query data and generate on-the-fly reports. The ease with which data lakes tie into office suites enables businesspeople to run ad hoc reports to speed up the time required to generate meaningful insights from big data.
Erasing business silos results in better data sharing. This result of big data as a part of cloud computing and cloud officing eases collaboration between teams and between companies. Businesses may turn to outside firms to connect divergent data sets for collaborative projects.
Cloud methods also improve data governance and security. Business in the cloud requires fewer compliance resources while making it simpler to collect data for compliance. In an article by Techjury, it is reported that in 2020 around 83% of businesses’ workloads were stored on the cloud.
By making it easier to work and simplifying report generation, using the cloud to enhance a company’s abilities in business analytics improves return on investment (ROI) overall. Moving to the cloud can quickly pay you back just off of the savings from buying new on-premises computing equipment constantly. Your staff can use their own computers in conjunction with a company VPN to access cloud apps and data.

| | Re: Test kits: the good, bad and ugly
Believe it or not it doesn’t matter much which kit you use if you follow some basic chemistry.
Firstly, you have to realize that the color reference you have with your kit may be unreliable because color development depends on a lot of factors besides the concentration of the substrate. Things totally out of your control like temperature, age of the reagents, printing errors in the package and a gazillion other things make using the reference colors in any kit questionable.
So how do you get around this problem? You always need to run a minimum of three tests at the same time.
The first is a blank. This uses purified (ie distilled) water in place of the sample.
The second is a control. This uses a sample with a known concentration of substrate at the concentration you expect in place of the sample.
The third is, of course, your sample.
You have to run all three tests at the SAME TIME and under the same conditions. When the colors develop you can expect that the blank should have no color and the control will be the same color as the equivalent reference on your color chart. If this is not true than you cannot use the color chart for your estimate directly.
What you have to do is correct the color chart to your control. If the known concentration of the control is 20 ppm and the reading on the reference chart is 30 ppm then your chart is off by 20/30. Then when you check your sample and it reads 40 ppm you have to multiply this result to get the corrected answer:
20/30 * 40ppm = 27 ppm.
If you are consistent when running all three tests, you can use some really bad reagents and still get good results.

Can you add water to paint to make it go further?
Dilute your paint as a last resort.
In the end, you may need more paint because a first coat that has been diluted may not cover the primer well enough.
In times of desperation, add a few tablespoons of water to your paint before you begin the project, so that the entire area to be painted will end up the same color..
What to add to paint to make it waterproof?
There are generally two ways to waterproof water-based paint. You can brush on a coat of simple clear waterproofing sealer, or you can stir in a paint additive before you begin the application process. If you choose to brush on a sealer, the process is as simple as dipping and brushing.
Should you always thin down bathroom paint?
“If you are applying straight onto fresh plaster then definately water down whatever paint you use. … Then top too coat can be bathroom specific paint, or Vinyl Silk. Bathrooms are like front doors. More thin coats applied are better than one thick coat.
What happens if you add too much water to paint?
In blog posts and workshops the warnings can seem dire: add too much water, we are told, and the acrylic binder will break down, causing paint to flake off or adhesion to fail.
Can I use hairspray to seal acrylic paint?
Acrylic paint, tempera paint and other types of paint that you might use on rocks cannot be sealed with hairspray. Hairspray is neither permanent nor waterproof and some formulations of hairspray and paint react badly to each other and could cause your paint to melt or get gooey!
Can acrylic paint get wet?
One acrylic paint has thoroughly dried, it’s very water-resistant. … It’s not technically water-proof though, so for example if it’s *soaked* in water overnight or longer, it will begin to soften and loosen, and can be peeled off many surfaces, although it won’t “dissolve” like non-permanent paints will.
Can you lighten paint once it’s mixed?
There is no real way to lighten tinted paint, the only solution is to mix the current color with white base in a new clean 5 gallon bucket. Keep adding paint until the color you desire is achieved.
Does adding water to paint make it lighter?
Yes, it will make the color lighter (because you technically get more paint by putting water in it).
Should you water down paint?
You will need to use a paint that is watered down. The water will sink into the surface, allowing the paint to bond to it. Standard emulsion painted onto an untreated wall will not dry well. It is likely to crack and to peel.
Should you add water to acrylic paint?
Acrylic paint is water-based and thus water-soluble when wet, so water can be used to thin it. … To be safe, many manufacturers suggest that you use no more than 30 percent water to thin acrylics when painting on a nonabsorbent surface, such as a primed canvas.
Is it OK to add water to latex paint?
Latex is a type of water-based paint, which you can thin using water. On the other hand, oil-based paints require the use of oil-based type of paint thinner. … Thinning latex paint should be done with proper care, so you will be able to achieve the preferred viscosity while preventing over-thinning of the paint.
Can you thin acrylic paint with water?
There are two choices for thinning acrylic paint: water or acrylic medium. Water breaks down the binder in acrylic, thinning the paint so that it looks like watercolor and allows it to sink into the surface, resulting in a matte finish. … Adding 60 percent or more water creates a watery paint application called a wash.
What can you add to paint to make it thicker?
To get a thicker paint with powdered tempera, simply add more pigment to your mixture. If you’d like something even thicker, try mixing in a touch of a paint-thickening agent you probably have around the house: Flour. Cornstarch.
Why do Painters water down paint?
Watered down. The paint is mixed with 25 to 50 percent water before it’s brought into your home. When you mix paint with water, it more than doubles its coverage but makes it very vulnerable to chipping, peeling and cracking.
Can you paint without white?
Mixing paints to achieve new colors is an art form in itself. Depending on the type of paint, you can make it lighter without using white in various ways. … Water cannot be added to oil paints, but paint thinner can be used. Typically in acrylic and oil painting, mix different paints together to lighten them.

Oftentimes, when we talk about places to go and things to do in Waynesville and Haywood County, our unique and growing food truck culture gets overlooked. Western North Carolina is home to a vibrant, entrepreneurial spirit and the presence of such a robust food truck scene is a testament to that environment. We want to highlight some of the businesses in our area that consistently show up to events and provide excellent food choices for both locals and tourists alike. And currently in November and December, the Smoky Mountain Event Center is featuring many of our local food trucks at their newest event, Food Truck Wednesdays.
While Asheville has a strong food truck scene, Waynesville and Haywood County is no slouch in this area and has an abundance of choices that you will see at festivals or street events, around town in semi-permanent locations, at the town farmer’s markets in Waynesville & Canton or at popular local businesses like Barber Orchard’s Fruit Stand during the fall season. One of our local success stories in the food truck business is Fuego, which was a successful food truck that has just recently made the leap and opened up a brick-and-mortar restaurant getting great reviews in the Hazelwood area of Waynesville. Below is a breakdown of some of the more popular food trucks in the area that you should check out if you get a chance.
Without a doubt, our favorite food truck in the area is Harvest Moon Crepes, which is a consistent vendor at the Haywood County Farmer’s Market in Waynesville. They offer both sweet and savory crepe options and have fun refreshments to go along with them. They always have a great turnout wherever they go. And one of the more permanent food trucks here in Waynesville that also has a good following is Jose’s Taco Truck at the Corner of Russ Avenue and Dellwood City Road. They focus mainly on tacos and for a quick, tasty bite, they are a great option. For those with a sweet tooth, two great options you will see at local events are Frozen Josie’s (hot cocoa and ice cream with fun seasonal toppings) and The Cheesecake Mousse (single-serve unique cheesecakes, nuff said!).
Unique Takes on Classic Food
Of course, food trucks are known for unique takes on classic dishes and the food trucks of Haywood County are no exception. A couple of the more active food trucks in the area are Woof Street Bistro, Ben’s Backdraft BBQ and Wicked Fresh Maine Lobster. All of these are very popular, and you will be sure to get a tasty meal or snack at any one of these great trucks. You can look for them at special events that are occurring in the area. Speaking of barbeque, there are plenty of other great options in the area, each with their unique spin, like Appalachian Smoke or Hit the Pit.
Other Food Trucks and Similar Businesses
And of course, our list above is nowhere near a comprehensive list of all the cool small businesses that are in the local food truck / food cart scene. With food trucks, you will most certainly be supporting local entrepreneurs, which is definitely a hallmark of our tight-knit western North Carolina community. Other well-known local options include Soul Dawgs and Mi Montanita Tacos in Hazelwood, Sunburst Coffee from Canton, as well as Pavino’s Pizzeria from Maggie Valley.
Food Trucks with Special Origin Stories
And before we conclude, we want to highlight a couple of local food trucks with inspirational stories similar to the aforementioned Fuego. Back in 2020, the Haywood Pathways Center, one of our local non-profits, started the Holy Cow Food Truck and their story is outlined in this Smoky Mountain News article. They are also an active local food truck, and all proceeds go towards supporting the Haywood Pathways Center and they also help folks in the center with training and job skills.
Also with a great story, one of our community’s newer food trucks is a success story in coordination with the Small Business Center of Haywood Community College. Sticky 8’s is a new venture started in November of 2022 bringing Asian Fusion dishes to our Haywood County food truck lineup. This article gives a great breakdown of how local entrepreneurs got the support and guidance they needed to succeed. It’s great to see Haywood County chosen when folks look around for great environments for small businesses! We certainly agree that this is a great place to be a small-business owner!
With food trucks, the challenge, of course, is knowing where and when they will be appearing in communities or at events. We’ve tried to link to the social media profiles of all of them above as most of these businesses use social media as their digital storefront. We encourage you to follow your favorites on social media so you can see where they are at on your next visit to the Inn!
We hope to see you soon!

Unless you’re competing in a class that has a minimum weight higher than the weight of your car without additional ballast, and mandates that the ballast can be mounted only in the passenger seat area, and prevents the battery from being mounted in the trunk, and allows the use of a Watts Link, then based off the above, the PHB is the better option.
For Project Budget 400whp Track Car, there is no question the best option is to stick with a stock PHB. It’s by far the cheapest option and extremely effective. By sticking with the PHB, we are saving $550-1,140 off the bottom line for a car that will end up performing just as good, if not better since we don’t have any minimum weight restrictions for our track-day fun.
Our 2014 Mustang GT’s worn-out stock suspension would not lead you to believe the platform’s true potential and capabilities. Unfortunately, this is what most people get an impression of when they’ve driven a rental car Mustang back in the day, or a friend’s relatively stock car on track.
We again turned to our friends at RareFab for the suspension install.
The new Steeda S197 Mustang Front Lower Control Arms with X11 Extended Ball Joints and Steeda Chromoly Lower Control Arms are ready to be installed.
When lowering the S197, the front Roll Center (RC) lowers more than the car’s Center of Gravity (CoG). This increases the distance between the RC and CoG, making the “Roll Moment” longer.
A longer roll moment decreases the car’s resistance to roll, thus increasing body roll, which is not good for the front-heavy Mustang with a strut suspension. Increased body roll requires more static camber to keep the desired contact patch when cornering.
A common solution for this is to stiffen the swaybar, but stiffer swaybars hurt braking performance and ride quality. In order to not rely on an extremely stiff swaybar, we decided to reduce body roll by changing the car’s suspension geometry and raise the front roll center with the Extended Ball Joints. Lowering the pivot point of the outer lower control arm (purple arrows), the instant center and roll centers are raised. This shortens the roll moment and increases the car’s resistance to roll, like stiffening a swaybar.

Did you know the Willamette River flows north?Tracey Saxby ·
One of the things I love most about my job is that I’m constantly learning about different places, working with local experts that share their knowledge and passion for the place they live, and the science they do. Right now I’m learning about the Willamette River in Oregon, as the IAN team is working in partnership with Meyer Memorial Trust to develop an Ecosystem Health Report Card for the main stem of the Willamette.
The Willamette River is a major tributary of the Columbia River, flowing northward in a wide river valley between the Cascade Range and the Oregon Coast Range. To get us all up to speed on the features of the river and some of the challenges it faces, Meyer Memorial Trust invited local and regional experts and stakeholders together for a tour of some of the key locations along the Willamette, followed by a science workshop in Eugene, Oregon.
The first stop on our tour was the Delta Ponds in Eugene, which are currently being restored by the City of Eugene to reconnect this former side-channel back to the main stem of the river. One of the biggest challenges for the Willamette River is that flood control, development, and land use practices have restricted the river and where and how it flows. The complex network of side channels, ponds, and wetlands have been lost over time, along with more than 60% of the original floodplain forest that bordered the river. By restoring the Delta Ponds as a side channel of the Willamette River, it provides critical habitat types that are very important for salmon, turtles, beavers, river otters, and birds.
Next up was the Berggren Demonstration Farm, an organic 30-acre farm along the Mackenzie River (one of the key tributaries for the Willamette). The property has an extensive and intact network of side channels and a healthy floodplain forest. The farm has partnered with the Eugene Water and Electric Board to showcase how sustainable agriculture can be integrated with habitat conservation and restoration efforts. Efforts to remove invasive species in the floodplain forest has resulted in an interesting role reversal: instead of the farm being the source of nutrients, pesticides, or other toxicants, any chemicals used to eradicate invasive plants in the surrounding forest have to consider the impacts on the farm!
I mentioned earlier that flood control has in part restricted the flow of the Willamette River; in fact, there are more than 371 dams throughout the Willamette River Basin, although only one on the main stem of the river itself. These dams provide water for irrigation, generate hydro-electric power, and protect against floods. Our next stop was to check out one of these dams: Lookout Point Dam. This was the first time I’d ever been inside a dam wall, and it was pretty awe-inspiring to see the hydro-electric generator units, as well as the control room. One of the biggest challenges with dams is that they prevent salmon from being able to travel up the river to key spawning grounds. At present, adult salmon are literally scooped out of the river below the dam and transported by truck up and around the dam. Scientists and engineers are still trying to figure out how to deal with the juvenile salmon or fry returning on their way down the river.
Last stop of the day was at the Willamette Confluence Project, which is over 1000 acres of property acquired by The Nature Conservancy with the goal to reconnect the river to its historic floodplain. The site has been mined extensively for gravel, and there are several old gravel pits of various depths with steep banks throughout the property. Our group was invited to help fill one of these in by throwing rocks into the pit… amazing how such a simple pleasure can make everyone feel like a big kid again.
Back on the bus one last time, but now with a much better understanding of some of the key issues and challenges facing the Willamette River. I’m looking forward to seeing the results of the workshop as we work together with all the various stakeholders to produce this report card.
How healthy do you think the Willamette River is?

Politicians arrested in Canada for fraud
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have charged Senator Patrick Brazeau and ex-Senator Mac Harb with fraud, saying they claimed improper living and travel expenses.
Brazeau, who was already suspended from the senate, and Harb, who resigned in August, were also charged with breach of trust.
They, along with two other senators, were the focus of outside audits of their expenses last year.
The two men deny the charges.

Skid Row have made one other singer swap, as revealed with the premiere of a brand new track from their upcoming album The Gang’s All Right here, earlier immediately on Eddie Trunk’s Trunk Nation SiriusXM present. Having spent the previous few years with former DragonForce frontman ZP Theart dealing with vocals, the band is transferring on with Erik Gronwall, previously of the band H.E.A.T., taking the lead.
A snippet of the album title monitor may be heard within the teaser for Trunk’s present under. The album will arrive on Oct. 14 through earMusic, whereas the primary single/title monitor will formally be launched on Friday (March 25).
The band in a press release (as reported by BraveWords), “It is a new period for Skid Row. With a brand new album, a brand new single and a world tour, we have added a brand new voice. Welcome powerhouse vocalist Erik Grönwall, previously from the band H.E.A.T. from Sweden.”
Grönwall added, “Girls and gents. I hereby declare the circle of all fucking circles full. You’re trying on the new singer of @officialskidrow #skidrow #erikgronwall”
Theart joined the band in 2016, having adopted earlier vocalist Tony Harnell, however the band didn’t launch any new recorded music throughout his time with the group.
Skid Row have been via a collection of vocalists since their cut up with Sebastian Bach in 1996. Johnny Solinger had the longest run, taking on vocal duties once they reactivated in 1999. He remained within the function till 2015 when Harnell took over. Solinger handed away in June 2021 after battling liver failure.

Edo state gubernatorial aspirant, and renowned poet, Odia Ofeimun has said the issue of rampaging herdsmen is capable of destroying Nigeria, advising President Muhammadu Buhari to take decisive action.
Ofeimun made this statement at the University of Ibadan while reading ‘Taking Nigeria Seriously’, one of his recent books. He said the bulk of the nation’s woes could be linked to the fact that Nigerians and their leaders do not take the country seriously.
He advised the government on the steps to take in tackling the killings of innocent Nigerians.
“If we don’t deal with the issue of herdsmen, there may be no Nigeria tomorrow,” he said.
“Almost all Nigerian groups are brought up not to take Nigeria seriously; they fight against themselves and the future of their children by feigning to be fighting for the interest of their people… The Fulani must be made to move to where they have cultural empathy – dairy industries, corn-beef industries.
“Government must build a global industry around their cattle-rearing,” he said.
He described Nigerian leaders as “hunter-gatherers” who move into a virgin environment which they graze to zero until it becomes a desert and then move to the next land, failing to plan for tomorrow in the process.

1. Roy’s Peak
We are going to start with the place, that we believe, has the most breath taking views in the whole of New Zealand, Roy’s Peak. From the car park it’s a hard 3 hour vertical slog to the viewing platform with a view that makes you jump for joy! However don’t stop there. You have to reach the summit to really appreciate the unreal 360 degree views.
2. Mount Maunganui
This is definitely one of our favourite places on the North Island. It’s a steep climb but it only takes 30-45 minutes to reach the summit. From the top you get a great view of the peninsula and the Pacific Ocean meaning it is not only the steep climb that leaves you breathless!
3. Lake Tekapo
One of the bluest lakes you will ever see anywhere due to rock flour created by surrounding glaciers. With beautiful lupin flowers on the shore, Lake Tekapo really is gorgeous. Tekapo also has the darkest sky in the whole of New Zealand so budding photographers can shoot night and day!
4. The Wanaka Tree
Also known as ‘the lone tree of Wanaka,’ this beautiful tree will reappear constantly on your Instagram feed. It is very impressive and the Southern Alps act as an incredible backdrop to all these photos.
5. Mount Taranaki
This is one impressive looking volcano! No other hills surround Mount Taranaki so it makes the volcano look even more impressive. Make sure you take the trip to the west coast of the North Island to see this spectacular sight.
6. Milford Sound
It’s a long drive from Queenstown to Milford Sound but the views you get on the drive and once you arrive at the destination are well worth the hours in the car. Try and plan your trip for a clear day so you can really appreciate how spectacular the Sound is!
7. Cathedral Cove
It’s an easy 45 minute walk from the car park to Cathedral Cove and what a gorgeous spot this is. Located on the popular Coromandel Peninsula Cathedral Cove should not be missed. Pack a picnic and make a day of it, you’ll want to spend a few hours on the beach.
8. Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park
With the tallest mountain in New Zealand, at 3724m, this national park is impressive. If you head to check out the Tasman Glacier and Lake make sure you take in the view of the whole valley. It looks awesome!
So there you have it, 8 places in New Zealand you absolutely can’t miss! But remember New Zealand has so many beautiful sights that every corner you turn you’ll find something pretty spectacular!
Finally, take a look at our final New Zealand vlog!!

Shaw's decision bad for business - PSOJ
Ambassador Derick Heaven has welcomed the announcement by Agriculture Minister Audley Shaw that he intends to reimpose the tax on processed (granulated) sugar, which is used as a vital ingredient in a wide and diverse range of manufacturing processes. He, however, cited the need for a safety net for those legitimate businesses that will be adversely impacted, and at least one businessman agrees.
"The minister's announcement is long overdue about the reintroduction of the way in which imported refined sugar is handled," the former diplomat told The Gleaner after yesterday's stakeholders luncheon at the Spanish Court Hotel in New Kingston, hosted by the Sugar Industry Authority and All-Island Jamaica Cane Farmers' Association.
"The manufacturers are going to need some assurances and it has to do with the way it is managed. With proper management, it need not impact negatively on manufacturers apart from having to upfront the money. But with the assurance from the minister of quick return to the extent that it is going to cause the massive leakage that is taking place, it is going to be a plus."
However, businessman Steven Sykes, who represented the Private Sector Organization (PSOJ) at the meeting and is a member of the Jamaica Manufacturers' and Exporters' Association, took issue with the minister's handling of the situation.
Sykes, an executive of Continental Baking Company Limited, which is a major importer of granulated sugar as an ingredient for its very popular National brand of baked products and snacks, anticipates that there will be significant pushback from the manufacturing sector.
He explained that the promised quick return on their upfront expenditure will cost businesses much more than the cash value of that spend.
"History has shown that whenever we pay and try and recover it, you never ever get back till 30 years later, and when you pay a tax and you recover it later, you lose on the cost of money," Sykes told The Gleaner.
"If you pay a million dollars and you receive a million dollars a month later, that money has depreciated in terms of the US-dollar value. You lose in the finance cost in paying that million dollars in the first place, so it is costing you more than a million dollars."
The businessman also questioned the minister's rationale for bypassing the police, especially in light of the mountain of evidence he claims to have in hand.
However, Shaw defended his actions and decision to leave the security forces out of the loop as a pragmatic approach to dealing effectively with such major crimes.
"That is the way to really rescue this industry. If I decide that we a go wait to see who we can arrest and who we can do this, it won't work. The system is so corrupt now, the corruption is everywhere. The corruption is at customs, the corruption is among so-called brokers who are brokering on behalf of manufacturers who import the sugar duty-free. Some goes to manufacturing and the rest goes into the market, destroying the Jamaica sugar industry," Shaw said, in justifying his unorthodox approach to this vexing issue.
For Sykes, the minister's action is misguided and misinformed.
He explained: "Now the minister said that he has conclusive evidence of this adulteration and corruption. Then they need to use the evidence and go out and find the people, take their pictures, put it in The Gleaner and Star and lock them up and charge them. But do not get into a situation where you are going to burden the legitimate manufacturers who are playing on a level play field and trying to do what they are supposed to do and right. And then you burden them because you, your system and those who are supposed to manage it are not managing it."

Presenters: Tammy Bush and CMHA Kenora
Tammy Bush, in partnership with CMHA Kenora, is hosting a tie dye workshop in support of suicide awareness and prevention. Sam Bush loved tie dye shirts. He had blue, red, and mixed colour tie dye clothing he loved to wear because they were colourful, fun, and made him feel good about himself. Part of being mentally healthy (feeling good in your brain) is having the people, animals, places, and things around us that help us feel our best. These things also help when we are having a hard day, they make us feel safe and comforted until we feel better.
On May 27, join us at the Douglas Family Art Centre to tie dye some T-shirts and scrunchies in our favourite colours so we can wear them to help us feel good.
This workshop is free to attend, though space is limited so register to reserve your space by clicking here.


One of the worst parts of winter is the shovel. Keeping your driveway clear of snow is essential, and essentially unchanged in decades. Step outside with a shovel and get to digging. It's a great way to end up with a sore back at best or a heart attack at worst, but what else are you going to do? We've got some tips on how to keep your driveway clear with less work using the latest in driveway technology.
Like to keep it affordable and old-school? The classic metal shovel is still effective but an ergonomic bent handle is a modern addition that is intended to make shovelling easier on your cold body. Newer shovels also have a second handle mounted low on the main handle, letting you use both arms to get a grip and do the heavy lifting with less strain.
The snowblower is another time-tested way to clear your driveway. A two-stage gas snowblower makes quick work of even hip-deep snow thanks to an auger that chops up the snow (stage one) and then pushes it into the impeller (stage 2) that launches it across the yard.
Having yet another gas engine needing maintenance and fuel can be a hassle. Electric snowblowers options are limited and many models have trouble clearing more than a flurry from a walkway. However, thanks to modern lithium-ion battery technology you can get a serious electric snowblower. Full-size two-stage models can clear a typical suburban driveway on a single charge. A great example is the EGO POWER+ 2-Stage Snow Blower. The same batteries that allow near-silent snow clearing in the winter can then be used to power mowers, blowers, and other lawncare equipment the rest of the year.
If you really want to make your snowblower high-tech, a company called Snowbot is readying a Roomba meets snowblower called the Snowbot S1. It's still in beta testing, but the manufacturer says it will use lidar sensors and positioning beacons to clean your driveway autonomously. You can also control it from inside your home using a Playstation-like controller if that's more your style.
Traditional road salt helps to keep snow and ice from building up on your driveway — at least for the few centimetres of snowfall — but why not upgrade to the same modern technology highway roadcrews have? See the brine trucks that coat roads with salt in liquid form ahead of a storm? Bare Ground KlearWay lets you coat your driveway with a de-icer and apply it throughout a storm to make sure you don't need to shovel. The liquid de-icer comes in a bag-in-box and is hooked up to an AC-powered pump and an attachment that looks like a lawn sprinkler.
Controlled manually or from your smartphone, the sprinkler can cover up to 93 square metres of driveway and keep it clear from snow falling at up to five centimetres per hour. The company offers a wide range of de-icing solutions, including fluids that are claimed non-toxic and safe for pets and plants, as well as safe for concrete. A 20-litre box of the solution can melt as much snow and ice as 250 pounds of salt.
For the ultimate in snow removal, you need to be ready to shovel out the cash instead. Radiant floor heating systems use either a system of pipes that channel warm liquid through (or under) your driveway or an electrically heated grid that does the same. While using a boiler or electricity to heat the outdoors is convenient, it does have some issues.
You'll probably need a new driveway, for one. It's possible to place the system under or on top of your existing driveway, but it's not often feasible and it is certainly not easy. This is going to be an expensive project. Ripping up and repaving your driveway isn't cheap, nor is the new boiler you'll need and the radiant heating grid that needs to be installed. Lastly, energy costs to heat up the outdoors, especially in the colder parts of Canada, will be high both in dollars and in impact on the environment. The heat is only needed on days when snow is expected, but if that is enough days to make you want a heated driveway, it's enough days to be expensive.
What's the best way to clear your driveway? That's going to depend on your budget and your ability to shovel. Our preferred method is the old-fashioned sleigh shovel, but all of that manual labour might not be for you, and there's nothing wrong with picking one of the other methods we've listed. Of course, if you don't want to worry about it at all, there's always an app for that. Or the tried-and-true method of offering the neighbour kid $20 to do it for you. That might be $50 now, with inflation.

The Roebuck is a past holder of the Cheshire Dining Pub of the Year award. And certainly, there’s a really good dining pub struggling to get out, in the competition between pubby food outlets on the outskirts of Manchester Airport. The small village of Mobberley has three decent contenders and a couple of others doing pretty gruesome looking pub grub.
What brings folk in is the exceptionally well priced lunchtime two courses for a tenner. That might bring you Bury black pudding cake topped with poached egg, followed by local lamb’s liver and onion gravy. Another draw is the well kept beer, which included Tatton Best bitter, from literally just down the road in Knutsford.
However, we decided to order off the main menu. For starters, a classic prawn cocktail was a generous mix of king and ordinary prawns. The sauce a tad underseasoned and a tad parsimonious. For the other, a breast from a locally shot wood pigeon sat between a “sandwich” of puff pastry with a little watercress and spinach sauce. It was good idea that needs some work – cook the sauce more to intensify it, cook the pigeon less so that’s not so tough.
Rib of beef was described as 24 hour roasted (eh?) and served medium rare. Perhaps their definition of medium rare is different to mine, but this was somewhat past medium. Damn good flavour, though. Excellent goose fat roasted spuds, carrots, broccoli and cabbage contributed to my five-a-day. There was very good gravy and two deliciously crisp rashers of pancetta.
On the other plate, an individual homemade shortcrust pie – steak, mushrooms, Tatton beer. I wanted this as soon as I looked at it but there was no chance of a swap. It came with the same veg as my beef, chips and small jug of beer based gravy. Good dish.
So, a pretty reasonable lunch which, with drinks, had cost £45. Not perfect, but perhaps they were having an off day. The Roebuck might describe itself as a dining pub but this is pretty much a restaurant in anyone’s book. Sure, you’ll be welcomed just to stand at the bar and swig a pint or two. But folk are mainly here eating – you’re shown to your table, as in any restaurant; orders are taken at the table and the bill is later presented. Don’t let that put you off.

Jamie Vardy has told his Leicester City teammates to forget its Premier League success of last year in order to advance past Sevilla in the Champions League.
Vardy is with his team in the south of Spain for the first leg of the last 16 tie against Jorge Sampaoli’s Sevilla, which is third in La Liga.
Leicester, the Premier League champions, has suffered a painful defense of its title this season, falling to 17th in the table, and the Champions League will offer some relief.
“We have to completely forget what happened last year. We need to work hard each and every single one of us, the staff and players and come game time it is up to us when we step over the white line,” Vardy said Tuesday, as quoted by the Daily Mail.
“It has been tough, things haven’t clicked this year, but we know if we keep giving 100 percent for each other things will change.”
Leicester finished top of its group but was unfortunate to be drawn against the impressive Sevilla, which is just two points behind Barcelona in the Spanish La Liga.
Vardy is unable to identify why Claudio Ranieri’s team has succeeded in Europe while plummeting at home.
“We’ve played better in the Champions League but for some reason it has just not clicked in the Premier League,” he added. “I wish I could put my finger on it myself to change that around but obviously it’s not that easy.”Try Newsweek: Subscription offers

She was the latest Bond girl and now, the beguiling French actress Eva Green is a witch, but not the kind of witch you expect, in The Golden Compass. About to leave for a vacation in Australia, Green says she hopes to do more than fly around in the next two installments of this epic trilogy. Green talked to Paul Fiacher in London.
Question: You spent most of your time in the air – you were flying around in this movie a lot of the time. Was that something that you enjoyed? Dealing with all this, special effects and stuff
Green: It was not special effects. I was really in the air, suspended on wires and traveling very fast and I had to land very sharply. And I felt like I was in a plane crash sometimes. That was scary. That is not my favorite thing, I would say. But I’d learned a lot and I survived.
Question: How tricky is it to do that and act at the same time, did it get easier as you went along
Green: No, it’s not really acting, you know? In the air, it’s not really. My acting scenes are with the child and with Lee Scoresby. Otherwise it’s more like a challenge, I would say, to fight and fly.
Question: After Bond, James Bond. Why this particular?
Green: Because it’s a witch, first of all. I mean, it’s quite cool. It’s a little girl’s dream. And I love the books. The books are very rich, very complex and it’s not like a typical fantasy adventure. It’s very clever, very spiritual, very philosophical, and it’s also full of magic. It’s just fun and clever.
Question: Does your character have a prominent part in the next two books?
Green: Yeah, my character is much more important in the second one because you go into her world and the relationship that she has with Lee Scoresby is also more important. It’s very moving. We’ll see what they do with it, but she becomes much more important.
Question: And can you talk about working with Dakota?
Green: Dakota is a beautiful person, very good actress. It’s her first movie, a big part, and she was very professional, very calm, and she was really enjoying every minute. It’s such a pleasure to see somebody who is passionate and very excited and sometimes you forget as an actor that it’s just playing, you know? So it was nice to see that, and she’s very sweet.
Question: What does doing something like Casino Royale do for you? Does it allow you to choose stuff that you want to do? What do you get out of it?
Green: You are, you become more famous I would say. It gives you more opportunities, more scripts. But it’s still, I think, quite hard to get good material and I still have to prove a lot as an actress, I think. I don’t want to be typecast as an enigmatic femme fatale, that kind of thing. I just finished a movie called Franklyn, which is very, very different from what I’ve done before.
Question: What is that [Franklyn]?
Green: It’s a crazy movie. It’s a first time director, Gerald McMorrow, and it’s with Sam Riley and Ryan Phillippe. It’s about three people who are completely schizophrenic and lost. And I play two characters. It is impossible to summarize.
Question: It’s a science fiction futuristic type of thing, isn’t it?
Green: Ryan Phillippe is in the parallel world and it’s a sci-fi universe. And then, we all live in a parallel (universe), a bit like His Dark Materials. But one of my characters is quite… she’s a tormented artist. She’s a bit like Sophie Calle, Tracy Emin, and then the other one is very light, full of life, very witty, and big sense of humor. She’s the opposite of the other one.
Question: And do you ever interact with each other?
Question: So what would be your dæmon?
Green: Hmm…A frog.
Green: Because they’re French.
Question: How do you deal with this fame sort of thing, Daniel told that he runs away to avoid it, what do you do?
Green: I’m not really followed on the streets or…I live a normal life and I’m not – people don’t really recognize me. Boring life, you know?
Question: I was just going to ask you a little bit more about the flying. Were there particular I mean were you good, I mean being on ropes and things like that things like harnesses and things like that when you’re flying? Are you cool with being up in the air and that kind of thing?
Green: Not really but you know, I had to do it.
Question: How do you psych yourself up for a day when you know you’re going to go in and you’re going to be on wires all day long?
Green: I was surrounded by very patient stunt people. It’s all in the head, so you really have to be calm and I learned a lot from it, actually. Just to focus. To concentrate. ‘I’m going to land. I’m going to land.’
Question: Any good incidents where, as a practical joke they kind of let you hang in the air too long or –
Green: No, everything went fine. We’ll see for the second movie.
Question: They shot and cut out the ending of this…?
Green: Yes, they added some stuff and then they, it’s, it’s not the same ending as in the book. So I don’t know why they’re going to do that. They’re going to start (the second film) with the ending of the first book.
Question: When do you think they’re going to start shooting this next movie? Do you have a date yet?
Green: September 2008.
Question: So you’ve got a while to worry about that.
Green: (Lightly) Yeah.
Question: Do you know what you’re going to do next, or anything planned?
Green: I haven’t signed (for) find anything yet, no.
Question: Are you looking for something else?
Green: I just want to lie down on the beach right now.
Question: Your character has a very maternal kind of [bond] with Lyra. And I’m just wondering on the set did you feel a little protective of her because she was new –
Green: Yeah, absolutely.
Question: Did you guys go to lunch or anything like that together?
Green: Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got on very well, actually. Yeah, yeah. I really like her, but she’s not like a child. She’s very mature. We talked to her as if we were the same age. She’s very clever. She’s quite amazing.
Question: Did you give her any advise because she’s such a newcomer to the industry?
Green: No. She’s very talented. It’s quite hard, all the attention right now and publicity. It’s all new. But she’s learning very quickly and she has a very good mother who is very down-to-earth and doesn’t buy into all the bullshit.
Question: When you made your entrance in the movie is very dramatic, announcing your name and all that how did you complete that scene?
Green: I don’t know, it’s quite a simple scene. She’s very regal, and I wanted her to be a bit scary at the beginning and not like, ‘Oh, I’m a good witch! Hello. How you doing?’ And, actually, each time Lyra meets new characters they all are a bit dangerous. You don’t know who they are. And she’s testing her. She wants to know if she’s the child of the prophecy. It was not too difficult.
Question: That particular scene though, is different in the books.
Eva Green: In the book, for example, she has a longer scene on the balloon with Lee Scoresby. So that was a bit cut and shorter. But, I think it’s interesting that she is the one testing the child.
Question: Did you work with Ruth Myers in terms of the costume?
Green: I wanted to look a bit like from the Waterhouse painting. You know, quite pre-Raphaelite. And also she’s barefoot, quite ethereal, and the material’s quite translucent and see-through, because witches don’t feel the cold. If they were going to wear heavy clothing it would prevent them from sensing the world around them. They’re very close to nature.


NKU to host candidate forum
Candidates for state office will get a chance to talk about their education policies and their platforms at a forum at Northern Kentucky University on Monday.
Monday’s forum in the Student Union ballroom will be the first of two candidate forums at NKU this October. The forum will run from 5-7 p.m. and will allot 30 minutes for each candidate to address the audience. The first forum will have Republican State Senate candidate Chris McDaniel; State Sen. Damon Thayer, R-Georgetown; Republican congressional candidate Thomas Massie, Democratic State Senate candidate James Noll and State Representative-elect Diane St. Onge, R-Lakeside Park.
The second forum will happen Oct. 24 and feature Republican State House candidate Brian Linder, Democratic State House candidate Wanda Crupper Hammons, State Rep. Tom McKee, D-Cynthiana, Democratic congressional candidate Bill Adkins, and Republican State House candidate Bryan Lutz.
Massie holds Super Saturday event
Republican Fourth Congressional District candidate Thomas Massie will start this Saturday a series of “Super Saturday” events to get out the vote on November 6.
At 9:30 a.m. on Saturday at his campaign headquarters in Florence, Massie will give a speech to volunteers. Volunteers will talk to voters by phone and in person.
“With only a few weeks to go and counting until Election Day, it is critical that everyone be committed to making their voices heard. A record of over 8 percent unemployment, and President Obama’s continued failure to keep his promises to help the families of the Fourth District is the status quo my opponent wants to keep in Washington, but I plan on changing things,” Massie said in a statement “We expect lots of volunteers on the phones and knocking on doors to promote our message which is all about job creation, economic growth, and Kentucky values.”
Massie’s headquarters is at 267 Main Street in Florence.
Adkins gets coal miners’ union endorsement
The United Mine Workers of America has endorsed Democratic Fourth Congressional District candidate Bill Adkins.
Adkins for the past 13 years has worked as an attorney in Grant County but grew up in Letcher County and worked as a coal miner.
“I am grateful for the UMWA’s endorsement and personally pleased to have the support of the organization for which my father and grandfather fought so hard to have union representation in the mines,” Adkins said in a statement.
The coal miners join other union endorsements for Adkins, including the United Food & Commercial Workers Local 75, IUE/CWA Local 761, Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers & Trainment and the International Union of Operating Engineers.

The Phallus and the Mask (Paperback)
The Patriarchal Unconscious of Psychoanalysis
Psychoanalysts of all schools have generally dismissed and sometimes openly disapproved feminism and its critique of male universalism. While other disciplines, like sociology and anthropology, have welcomed the contributions of feminist theory, psychoanalysis remains hindered by its own unconscious, which is patriarchal. This book wants to cast light on the unthought of Freudian and Lacanian theory by way of an analysis of the concept of femininity. The aim is to show how phallocentrism functions as a screen which obscures the real relations between the sexes, the meaning of desire and the understanding of sexual difference.
