Although the number of elderly people in Britain increases steadily, the law in relation to their particular needs is a relatively neglected field.

Concerned for the independence and autonomy of both the young elderly and the old elderly, the book covers employment and income, accomodation and housing, community and residential care, health provision and deliverly and family relationships, to provide an important guide to the most important legal issues. The Law and the Elderly will be of practical help to all those concerned with the welfare of the elderly and to undergraduates and lecturers in social work, law and gerontology.

Microsoft is bolstering its cloud presence with its Office 365 cloud application suite and believes it has more to offer enterprises than Google has with its own online applications, a Microsoft executive said on Thursday.
VMware wants people to be able to access enterprise applications with the same ease and flexibility they enjoy from Facebook and Gmail. That is, on any device, without a thought about where the service originated.
"Virtualisation is not inherently insecure. However, most virtualised workloads are being deployed insecurely."
Oracle may own the Java trademark, but VMware is touting its own Spring framework as the best programming model for enterprise Java developers.
Last week it was Colt announcing its cloud service, a little further down the scale, Atlanta has also announced its own virtualisation strategy, tying together products from a range of vendors.
VMware plans to offer a hosted development environment that should ease the deployment of applications to cloud environments, the company announced Tuesday.
VMware is working on products that will give enterprises more control over Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications, including how users are authenticated, company CTO Steve Herrod, said in an interview on Tuesday.
Vmware is set to address the problem that many SMEs find when it come to using cloud services - the lack of expertise in-house. At its VMworld Europe conference, the company is releasing the beta of a service called Go Pro, which will enable customer...
The future for IT lies in automating as much as possible of the infrastructure, allowing users to self-provision applications, all in a mixture of virtualized private and public clouds, according to VMware's CEO Paul Maritz.
VMware has demonstrated a new client application for its vCenter management tools that runs on the Apple iPad.
Rivals Citrix and VMware have taken their battle beyond technology development, even beyond marketing. Now they're working on the imaginations and psychology of potential customers and, to a certain extent, rewriting history.
Virtualization is on its way to mobile phones and could allow consumers to buy cheaper smartphones, download a wider variety of apps, or have a single device for both personal and businesses use, according to executives from VMware and other vendors....
Orange Business Services has formed an alliance with Cisco, EMC and VMware to help enterprises adopt private clouds, the company said on Monday.
Weighing in on a seemingly perennial question asked by system administrators, IT analysts Osterman Research is recommending that virtual machines be defragmented just as often as physical drives.
Orange Business Services appears poised to become a cloud service provider using pre-integrated "VBlocks" from Cisco Systems, EMC and VMware.

A Thousand Splendid Suns PDF Free Download
In a world often defined by hardship and adversity, Khaled Hosseini’s novel “A Thousand Splendid Suns” illuminates the intertwined lives of two Afghan women, Mariam and Laila, whose paths converge amidst the chaos of war and oppression. This poignant tale explores themes of friendship, survival, and the unwavering strength of the human spirit.
The Harsh Realities of Kabul
The Historical Context
Hosseini sets the stage by immersing readers in the turbulent backdrop of Afghanistan’s history, from the Soviet invasion to the Taliban rule. This historical context underscores the challenges faced by the characters.
Mariam’s Unfortunate Fate
The narrative begins with Mariam, an illegitimate child living on the outskirts of Kabul. Her life is marred by abandonment and societal rejection, reflecting the struggles of countless Afghan women during this era.
Laila’s Dreams and Disruptions
Laila, a bright and ambitious young woman, becomes a central figure as her world collides with Mariam’s. Her dreams of education and love are abruptly shattered by the ravages of war.
Mariam and Laila’s paths intersect when they both find themselves trapped in an abusive marriage to the same man. Their initial animosity gradually transforms into a deep bond as they navigate the complexities of their relationship.
Resilience and Sisterhood
As they endure unimaginable hardships together, Mariam and Laila draw strength from their shared experiences. Their resilience exemplifies the power of female solidarity in the face of overwhelming odds.
Love as a Beacon of Hope
Amidst the darkness, love emerges as a source of solace and redemption. Mariam’s connection with Laila’s children fosters a sense of purpose and belonging, and Laila’s affection for Tariq offers a glimmer of hope.
Sacrifices for the Ones They Love
Both women make extraordinary sacrifices to protect and nurture their loved ones, illustrating the lengths to which one can go for the sake of family and companionship.

The novel’s resolution brings the possibility of redemption and forgiveness, suggesting that even in the face of profound suffering, healing is attainable through understanding and compassion.
“A Thousand Splendid Suns” is a testament to the strength of the human heart, showcasing the beauty that can arise from even the most devastating circumstances. Through the journeys of Mariam and Laila, readers are reminded of the power of love, resilience, and the enduring capacity for hope.

Video compression 2020 with live decoding
Compressed video data are growing at a faster rate than ever before. Already today, video data make up by far the highest percentage of bits on the Internet and in mobile traffic. This demonstrates the need for even more efficient compression, which goes beyond the current state of the art High Efficiency Video Coding standard (HEVC). In order to master this demanding challenge, the ITU-T Video Coding Expert Group (VCEG) and the ISO/IEC Moving Pictures Expert Group (MPEG) have already started working together in the Joint Video Experts Team (JVET). In April 2018, Fraunhofer HHI and other leading technology companies successfully proposed cutting edge coding technology with compression capability beyond HEVC. This marked the starting point of the Versatile Video Coding (VVC) standardization activity. The VVC standard is expected to provide 50% bit rate reduction over HEVC when finalized by 2020.

AMD Radeon RX Vega Mobile
The AMD Radeon Vega Mobile is a dedicated graphics card for laptops. It most likely uses the same chip as the Kaby-Lake-G graphics part. Rumors currently speak of 28 CUs (= 1792 shaders) instead of the 24 CUs in the Kaby-Lake-G top model. The clock speed should be also around 1 GHz. As graphics memory, the GPU most likely also uses 4 GB HMB2.
The Vega architecture offers some improvements over the Polaris generation and now supports DirectX 12 Feature Level 12_1. More information is available in our dedicated article about the Raven Ridge architecture.
The power consumption should be similar to the Kaby-Lake-G chips (altough this may be more efficient due to power sharing and distribution). The Kaby-Lake-G is rated at 100 Watt including a 35-45 Watt processor.
The Radeon Vega Mobile was announced one day before CES at a press event by Lisa Su.

It's Week 2 of the NFL season and it's not too late to create a lineup on FanDuel or DraftKings for one of their weekly tournaments to win some cash. These tournaments are held each week and there are some for each game day as well. They allow you to build a roster lineup each week compared to running with the same team for an entire season, as in fantasy football.
There is an NFL DFS GPP tournament on FanDuel and DraftKings for Week 2 of the season. FanDuel's budget to build a team is $60,000 with no more than four players from the same team. DraftKings has a budget of $50,000 to create a team. Before you go and build a team for this week's tournaments, here is some advice on building a quality lineup.
Best FanDuel/DraftKings lineup advice
QB - Baker Mayfield, $7100 (FanDuel)/$6000 (DraftKings) vs. Houston Texans
Baker Mayfield was electric against the Kansas City Chiefs and came close to causing a huge upset. Going up against the Houston Texans, Mayfield should find the endzone several times and have another great day. The Texans have the 26th-ranked passing defense and Mayfield is much better than Trevor Lawrence at this point.
RB - Damien Harris, $6200 (FanDuel)/$5400 (DraftKings) - at New York Jets
Damien Harris had 100 yards on the dot in Week 1 but had a late fumble that ended the Patriots' chances of a win over the Dolphins. He wasn't much of a threat as a receiver, but he doesn't need to be. Against the New York Jets, Harris is facing a weakened D-line and could have another big day. He had over 75% of the Patriots' carries against the Miami Dolphins and should be the workhorse again while he's on a hot streak.
RB - Miles Sanders, $6300 (FanDuel)/$6900 (DraftKings) - vs San Francisco 49ers
Miles Sanders will face the 25th-ranked defense when Philadelphia takes on the San Francisco 49ers. He had 74 rushing yards in the blowout win over the Atlanta Falcons. QB Jimmy Garoppolo could see better defenders in the secondary this week so that Miles Sanders could see a more significant workload this week and double-digit targets.
WR - Mike Evans, $6700 (FanDuel)/$6100 (DraftKings) - vs Atlanta Falcons
Mike Evans was nonexistent in Week 1 and recorded just 24 receiving yards, while Chris Godwin, Antonio Brown and Rob Gronkowski had excellent outings. The Falcons could not stop the Eagles in Week 1 and likely won't stop the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2. Mike Evans could have a much better game at home and lead the team in yards and targets.
WR - Chase Claypool, $5900 (FanDuel)/$5600 (DraftKings) - vs Las Vegas Raiders
Chase Claypool didn't have a big game last week against the Buffalo Bills but has big-play potential in any game and his versatility in the run game makes him a problem to cover in the game. If the Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves down early again, Ben Roethlisberger and Matt Canada could end up using Claypool often to drive down the field.
WR - Jakobi Meyers, $5500 (FanDuel)/$5100 (DraftKings) - at New York Jets
You can find a couple of cheaper options at WR this week who could have big games. Jakobi Meyers is one of those WRs when he goes up against the New York Jets' wounded secondary. He played all but one snap in Week 1 with a team-high nine targets that warranted just 44 yards. The New England Patriots aren't using their RBs as receivers much yet and Meyers could be the hot hand early in the game.
TE - Jared Cook, $5400 (FanDuel)/$3900 (DraftKings) - vs Dallas Cowboys
Jared Cook might be the old man in the TE room, but he had 56 yards on five catches last week and will face a Dallas Cowboys defense that gave up 90 yards and two TDs to Rob Gronkowski. Jared Cook isn't as talented as Gronk, but he could be a mismatch against Dallas' LBs. He's such a great value and has the potential to creep near 100 yards with at least one score.
FLEX RB - Jonathan Taylor, $7200 (FanDuel)/$7200 (DraftKings) - vs LA Rams
Jonathan Taylor was a threat as a receiver in Week 1 with six catches on seven targets. He had just 14.6 fantasy points in Week 1 and 56 rushing yards but could find some success against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 2. David Montgomery had over 100 rushing yards against the Rams last week and Taylor could be used to pound on the defense while Carson Wentz finds momentum with the passing game.
DEF - Denver Broncos, $4600 (FanDuel)/$3800 (DraftKings)
Expect every defense in the NFL to have a field day against the Jacksonville Jaguars this season. Denver's defense didn't have a great game against the New York Giants, but the Jaguars aren't much better than New York right now. Bradley Chubb should be 100% and the secondary will be eager to cause chaos for rookie QB Trevor Lawrence.

Pekka Simojoki is especially known for his contemporary Christian musical compositions, including several masses, musicals and a great number of very popular songs. He has also started and directed several famous Christian music groups: the first was a folk group, Alabasteri, then an African-style choir, Jakaranda. He presently directs a gospel-rock band, EXIT, and a gospel choir, EtCetera. He wrote his first music quite early on, while living with his missionary parents in Namibia, Africa (1964-1973).
Pekka Simojoki made his first composition when he was about 13 years old, but he got more serious about it when he met the poet Anna-Mari Kaskinen and started to work together with her in 1979. Their co-operation still goes on and together they have created some of the most beloved Finnish spiritual songs. Pekka has also worked with several other poets and he writes a lot of texts himself. All in all, he has written nearly 700 songs.
Pekka Simojoki has published and edited several different songbooks and has recorded more than 60 albums with different ensembles. The albums contain a wide variety of religious music from children’s songs to rock. In addition to Nordic Praise, many other songs by Simojoki have been translated into other languages. His songs have been published in songbooks and hymnbooks of different denominations all over the world. A compilation CD of the ‘songs of silence’ has been recorded in ten languages. Simojoki has also performed in several other countries.
At the moment, Pekka Simojoki lives in Kangasala, near the city of Tampere. He works as a freelance artist: writing and arranging music, touring solo with his guitar or with his band EXIT or choir EtCetera, participating in different events, festivals and seminar.

Tech guru likes Samsung’s position
Samsung is turning enormous profits at the same time that it is capturing market share with its smartphones - a majority of which run on Google’s Android - as other Android smartphone producers struggle, he said in a live chat yesterday with several of Korea’s leading IT experts, including co-CEO of Kakao Lee Sirgoo and app developer Ablar Company CEO Chester Jungseok Roh.
As of the fourth quarter last year, Samsung accounted for 42 percent of all Android smartphones, according to market researcher International Data Corporation, when Android and iOS accounted for a combined 91.1 percent of all smartphone platforms. Samsung has its own Tizen operating system, which has a single-digit market share.
But the famous AllThingsD founder and writer advised that Samsung needs to be more cautious when it comes to software features for its mobile devices, because “too much software confuses consumers.” Mossberg pinpointed the two different browsers and two different media stores embedded with the latest Samsung flagship smartphone Galaxy S4 and other redundant functions with the Android operating system.
In his review of the Galaxy S4 later in April, he writes the S4 is “an evolution of the prior model and, despite some improvements, it still is especially weak in the software Samsung adds to basic Android. I found Samsung’s software often gimmicky, duplicative of standard Android apps or, in some cases, only intermittently functional.” He also said the Samsung phone “isn’t a game changer.”
Regarding KakaoTalk, he said he is closely watching Korea’s most popular mobile instant messenger, which is trying various services starting with mobile games. He disagreed with widespread perception that Americans are less actively involved with instant messaging services, saying an increasing number of them are using Twitter, a 140-word-per-message social network, and messaging apps offered by Apple and BlackBerry.
The chat, titled “Battle of the Next Mobile Platforms,” was arranged by the Wall Street Journal’s Korean Web site.

Somalia has suffered a spate of jihad terror attacks, but these parents still think it is safer for their children than London. Sadiq Khanâ€™s London has become a hotbed of crime.Â Jihad preachersÂ speak and recruit freely. An Islamic State jihadist â€œtried to createÂ jihadist child armyÂ in east London.â€
The irony. Somalia is a troubled country, the home of the jihad terror group al Shabaab. This importation of Muslim migrants from countries plagued with jihad warfare is turning Western cities into mirror images of these countries. Why would Western leaders have thought that there would be any other result? It isnâ€™t just London:Â SwedenÂ has also now become so violent that migrants are considering moving back to their own war-zone homelands.
Drug trafficking to finance jihad activity is common: according to an official with theÂ UN Office on Drugs and Crime,Â the â€œmagnitude of the numbers involved make the relationship worrisome.â€ The Islamic State-linked group Jund al-Khilafa in North Africa profits from the drug trade, and the â€œLondon-based Arabic newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat reported that ISIS has been profiting from the trafficking of cannabis, moving it from Iraq through Syria and Turkey into Europe.â€
ISIS militantsÂ are not just in the business of profiting from drugs, but appear to be taking them, too. Many reports have suggested that terrorists are widely using captagon, nicknamed â€œjihad pills,â€ an amphetamine that suppresses feelings of pain, induces euphoria and allow fighters to remain awake for lengthy battles.
The Western values of free speech, pluralism, and equality of rights of genders, creeds and races continue to be eroded due to the importation of Islamic supremacists from trouble spots, and the fact that any discussion of this fact renders one â€œIslamophobic.â€
â€œMothers send sons to Somalia to avoid knife crime,â€ by Mark Townsend,Â Guardian, March 9, 2019:
British teenagers are being sent by their parents to Somalia, itself recovering from a series of terror attacks, because of concern that the police cannot protect them from knife crime.
Representatives from north Londonâ€™s Somali community say hundreds of children have been flown to Somalia, Somaliland and Kenya because of rising concerns over drug gangs and county lines, the criminal networks that use children to transport drugs from cities to the provinces.
In a series of interviews, Somali mothers who arrived in London after fleeing their country during its 1990s civil war told the Observer that many of their sons had asked to leave the UK because of drug gangs and the threat of violence.
Rakhia Ismail, Islington deputy mayor, said: â€œSending them away has become the only way they can be safer. This issue of safety has been repeatedly raised by the community but nobody has listened. So many children have gone abroad. Two weeks ago, there was a stabbing and a child was taken back home two days later.â€
The revelations follow a week of heated debate over the causes of and potential solutions to Britainâ€™s knife crime epidemic. Seventeen people have died after attacks in London alone since the start of 2019. On Saturday, there were reports that three people were in hospital after an attack at a nightclub in Birmingham, a city reeling from three knife fatalities within days last month. And a 15-year-old boy was charged with murder after the stabbing of 17-year-old Ayub Hassan, in west London, on Thursday afternoonâ€¦.
Sadia Ali, treasurer of Islington Somalia Forum and founder of Minority Matters, said: â€œHundreds of youngsters have been taken to Somalia, Somaliland and Kenya, some taken all the way to the rural areas. Parents feel they have no choice if they want their son to be safe.â€â€¦
Recently, Somalia has suffered a number of terror attacks. A car bomb in the capital, Mogadishu, killed seven people and wounded several others on Thursday, following. It followed another the week before which killed 29 peopleâ€¦.

White Fang was once howling as canine howl while their masters lie useless. He was once voicing an utter woe, his cry bursting upward in nice heart-breaking rushes, demise down into quavering distress, and bursting upward back with rush upon rush of grief. The Aurora was once the 1st steamboat of the 12 months for the surface, and her decks have been jammed with wealthy adventurers and damaged gold-seekers, all both as mad to get to the surface as that they had been initially to get to the interior. close to the gang-plank, Scott used to be shaking palms with Matt, who used to be getting ready to head ashore. yet Matt’s hand went limp within the other’s take hold of as his gaze shot previous and remained mounted on anything in the back of him.

White Fang flattened his ears ingratiatingly, yet remained the place he was once, making no try to strategy. ‘I’ll need to take ’m ashore with me. ’ Matt made a few steps towards White Fang, however the latter slid clear of him. The dog-musher made a hurry of it, and White Fang dodged among the legs of a gaggle of fellows.

I’m blamed if i will be able to see how he works it out that you’re the boss. ’ Scott, who were patting White Fang, without warning bent nearer and mentioned fresh-made cuts on his muzzle and a gash among the eyes.

Here’s your bandana. I’ll write to you approximately him. ’ Matt paused midway down the gang-plank. ‘He’ll by no means stand the weather! ’ he shouted again. ‘Unless you clip ’m in hot climate! ’ The gang-plank used to be hauled in, and the Aurora swung out from the financial institution.

Brought to you by James Sanders of SLRJAM.COM - SLRJAM - is Photography in Action!
So you have this great idea to take some pictures and decided today is the day to get it right!
Ok what do I want to take a picture of and will it work? Hmmm - you have to decide on the topic and if its a moving object, person, animal, landscape etc. Why? Because the light is different with all of these topics and its important to qualify your subject.
And you have to decide on your weapon of choice. So lets see Blackberry 8300x series, 8900, 9000, Storm, Tour all have camera's and your hand dandy Pearl. For the most part you are going to be operating on a 2 mega-pixel base line here which will take a pretty great shot despite what all the camera manufacturers will tell you.
Now, lets make sure you have an SD Card inserted or enough room on your phone to get the job done (4GB card should do the trick, but there are bigger ones out now, like 8GB and 16GB)
Ok Great! Now get out your BlackBerry and let's take some pictures!
Turn on the camera and then go to the options section.
You can get there by pressing first the right convenience key to activate the camera and then the Blackberry Key, located next to the Trackball on the left while in Camera mode, and select options
So you can see a few options here, depending on the model of Blackberry you are using, options will vary
- Default Flash Auto, On or Off
- White Balance Auto, Sunny, Cloudy, Night, Incandescent, Florescent
- Picture Size 480 x 360 - 2048 x 1536
- Quality Normal, Fine, Super fine
- Color Effect Normal, Black and White, Sepia
Some of these setting will or will not appear on your phone. These were based on the Blackberry Curve 8900 Running OS 18.104.22.168. This Camera has a 3.2 Megapixel camer.
Here Are some Quick Camera HOW TO Take A Picture Switches

This is a method of keep things in an order that makes every picture appear proper. The Rule is to have equal amounts of scenery or space across the image
This is Jessie the Dog, you will notice he is there by himself, but there is an even amount of green from Left to Right as well as some on top, giving him the attention he deserves in the photo Front and Center! It was a sunny day and well it was reasonably well lit so light was not an object. (This is a untouched image, only cropped) straight from the phone.
Here is a Shot in doors at a local mall and you can see how the lighting is mor stable, and well it delivers a better shot over all. But in some cases it requires a bit of an extra lighting to boost the clarity of the shot. If you are ever working on taking a shot of anyone or anything and you are not happy with the picture for any reason - try and get better lighting.
Or if you are getting shots, but not happy with it and you are thinking ok - well I can always fix it up in some image editing program - just Forget it! Put that program away and just go back and shoot the shot again - trust me on this - you will be happier in the end that you got the shot you were looking for, and its less work for you in the end everybody wins!
Water Shots and Landscapes (moving and not moving)
These can be tricky - you need a steady hand and some patience for both areas.
Here is a Water Fall Shot in Napanee, Ontario - Home Town of Avril Lavigne.
Even though we did not zoom in on the seagull in the center, the Rule of 3rd's was still applied here, with even amounts of scenery all around the bird, giving the waterfall a complete look along with the bird there for decoration.
Thank you very much for taking the time to check out this brief tutorial on Taking Great Pictures with Your BlackBerry - Keep on snapping those pix!

Central home air conditioner service systems consist of two major components: a condensing unit that sits outside your house, and the evaporator coil (often referred to as an A-coil) that sits in the plenum of your furnace or air handler. The refrigerant in the A-coil picks up the heat from your home and moves it to the outdoor condensing unit. The condensing unit fan blows outside air through the condensing coil to remove the heat. The condensing unit houses the three parts replaceable by a DIYer: the contactor, the start/run capacitor(s) and the condenser fan motor. The condensing unit also houses the compressor, but only a pro can replace that. The A-coil has no parts that can be serviced by a DIYer.
Some systems include an "economizer mode", which is sometimes called a "free-cooling mode". When economizing, the control system will open (fully or partially) the outside air damper and close (fully or partially) the return air damper. This will cause fresh, outside air to be supplied to the system. When the outside air is cooler than the demanded cool air, this will allow the demand to be met without using the mechanical supply of cooling (typically chilled water or a direct expansion "DX" unit), thus saving energy. The control system can compare the temperature of the outside air vs. return air, or it can compare the enthalpy of the air, as is frequently done in climates where humidity is more of an issue. In both cases, the outside air must be less energetic than the return air for the system to enter the economizer mode.

Natural ventilation is the ventilation of a building with outside air without using fans or other mechanical systems. It can be via operable windows, louvers, or trickle vents when spaces are small and the architecture permits. In more complex schemes, warm air is allowed to rise and flow out high building openings to the outside (stack effect), causing cool outside air to be drawn into low building openings. Natural ventilation schemes can use very little energy, but care must be taken to ensure comfort. In warm or humid climates, maintaining thermal comfort solely via natural ventilation might not be possible. Air conditioning systems are used, either as backups or supplements. Air-side economizers also use outside air to condition spaces, but do so using fans, ducts, dampers, and control systems to introduce and distribute cool outdoor air when appropriate.
High-efficiency condensing furnaces (90% AFUE and above) are a bit more complex than conventional furnaces. The main differences between a conventional and condensing furnace are the heat exchanger technology used to extract heat from the combustion process and the method used to exhaust the combustion gases. In these ways, the furnaces are very different. The condensing furnace does not have a significantly more efficient combustion process than does a conventional furnace; both use gas burners with electronic ignition. The difference lies in that the condensing furnace has a more efficient heat extraction process after combustion.

Updated: Troy suspends fraternity over ABC raid
Published 7:48 am Wednesday, June 22, 2011
Troy University has temporarily suspended a fraternity pending its investigation into an ABC raid at an off-campus party that led to more than 50 arrests.
Herbert Reeves, dean of students at Troy, said “a little over half” the 50 people arrested early Wednesday were either Troy students or those scheduled to begin classes in the fall. The individuals were arrested after the Alabama Alcohol Beverage Control board raided a party at The Pines restaurant in downtown Troy. The party, reportedly hosted by Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity, had been approved by the university, Reeves said.
“It was a social event for the fraternity,” he said. “Any time a there’s an official function or we approve an event, we ask them to abide by the laws of the state.”
Lt. Thomas Price of the ABC said agents received a call a call Tuesday night that minors were consuming alcohol at a party at The Pines restaurant.
“Within two minutes of our going in the front door, we arrested the first person,” Price said about 7 a.m. Wednesday. “And we’re still counting.”
Originally, Price reported that some 75 people had been arrested. By midday, Troy Police said 50 people had been charged with 51 offenses. Most were minor in consumption, although one individual was also charged with a felony drug charge.
Price said early Wednesday he believed more than 300 people attended the party, although that number has not been confirmed.
“They were upstairs, downstairs, outside … even on the roof,” Price said, explaining that four individuals fled to the rooftop when the raid began. “Unfortunately, they couldn’t get back down the hole they used to get up on the roof, so we had to call in the City of Troy ladder truck to help them get down.”
In the state of Alabama, residents must be at least 21 years of age to consume alcohol. Price said anyone under of the age of 21 who registered more than 0.00 when the breath tests were administers was charged with consumption. While he didn’t release names of those charged, Price said the arrests included Troy University football players and female basketball players. He also said two juveniles – ages 16 and 17 – were involved in the raid.
“It was a dangerous situation,” Price said.
Reeves said the university was still investigating to determine which students were involved in the incident. Any who were charged would face the same disciplinary action, he said, which could include probation.
“We’re disappointed in the fact that a situation like this has happened,” Reeves said. “Our stance is that we ask our students to comply with the laws of Alabama.”
Price said the agency would pursue disciplinary action against the chapter and restitution for expenses incurred with the use of the city fire truck.
The Pines Restaurant could face citations, as well, Price said.
Price said the bust “is the largest in my 18 years with the state ABC board.”
Chief Anthony Everage of the Troy Police said those charged in the bust were being processed and released from the city jail early Wednesday morning.

U.S. Army Improves Chemical Exposure Detection
The U.S. Army Edgewood Chemical Biological Center are combining wearable chemical samplers and chromatography to accurately identify to which chemical warfare agent and how much of it a soldier was exposed.
Scientists at the U.S. Army Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC) are using a combination of wearable chemical samplers and multi-dimensional chromatography to better protect soldiers against chemical warfare agents, according to an ECBC news story posted May 1. It said the tools they've developed will accurately identify to which agent and how much of it a soldier was exposed.
They're superior to hand-held detectors, which may have a limit of detection higher than the amount present or may not accurately identify the chemical class of the substance. And the wearable sampler attaches to a uniform and collects data on substances to which the wearer may have been exposed during a mission.
"The sampler collects almost everything it encounters," Bruce King, Ph.D., ECBC research chemist and project lead, said in Ashley Mason's article, which explained that the researchers use LECO Corporation's Pegasus GCxGC-High Resolution Time of Flight, known as HRTOF, system to analyze the data gathered in the sampler and accurately identify the chemical warfare agents.
ECBC is part of the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command.

A grappling hook is a hook attached to a rope, designed to be thrown or projected a distance, where its hooks will engage with the target. Grappling hooks were originally used in naval warfare to catch the rigging of an enemy ship so that it could be drawn in and boarded. Later, grappling hooks were also used in rescue work or to assist in scaling walls.
The most common design consists of a central shaft with a hole at the base of the shaft, called an "eye" to attach the rope, and three equally spaced hooks at the end of the shaft, so arranged that at least one is likely to catch on some protuberance of the target. Some modern designs feature folding hooks to resist unwanted attachment. Most grappling hooks are thrown by hand, but some used in rescue work are propelled by compressed air or a rocket.
Grappling hooks are currently used by combat engineers breaching tactical obstacles. The grappling hook is launched over the open ground in front of the obstacle and dragged backwards in an attempt to detonate trip-wire-fused land mines, and can be hooked onto wire obstacles and pulled to set off any booby traps on the wire. A tool available for this purpose is the rifle-launched grapnel, a single-use grappling hook placed on the end of an M4/M16 rifle. A grapnel can clear up to 99 percent of the trip-wires in a single pass.
In certain games and movies, elaborate fictional versions appear, often referred to as a grappling gun. This usually consists of a launcher (sometimes resembling a gun), a small electric motor, and a rope cartridge with hook. The motor enables the hero to pull himself up (by wheeling the rope back to the launcher, while the hook is caught onto a solid anchor) or to drag and people.
The grappling hook became popular as a video game mechanism after the release of the Quake CTF (Capture the Flag) modification on October 2, 1996. This addition to Quake allowed players to fire "the grapple" at any surface. Once embedded in that surface, the grappling hook pulled players to that location. This mechanism allowed players to reach areas of the game level that would otherwise be inaccessible. The huge popularity of this "mod" resulted in the inclusion of both CTF modes and grappling hooks in many future games.
It usually consists of a grappling hook launched from a gun-like firearm. The hooked end can catch onto a stable edge and then the user can "reel in" the line, though this sometimes is an automated feature. The hookshot has appeared in many video games, though is best known for its use in the Legend of Zelda series of videogames.
In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, the grappling hook is a versatile new addition to the hero Link's arsenal of weaponry. Simply a rope with a tridentate metal claw at the end, it is primarily used to latch onto horizontal posts jutting out of cliffsides or walls in order to swing across large gaps. When latched onto these posts, the player can also climb the rope and stand on top of the post, offering a rugged method of ascending walls. While on a boat out at sea, the grappling hook becomes a crane used to haul treasure up from the ocean depths. In battle, the grappling hook can usefully snatch up key and restorative items held by one's enemies.
Moreover, a fictional variant of the grappling hook called the hookshot makes appearances in several The Legend of Zelda series games. This device is usually held in one hand, comprised of a coiled chain with a hook at its end, which most often takes the appearance of a tapered wedge. The chain can expand and retract, and when the hook latches onto various materials such as wood it either pulls the user towards the object or vice versa, depending on anchorage and differences in weight.
In Bionic Commando, a grappling hook replaced the ability to jump from standard platform games. This led to an unusual but highly popular gameplay style.
In the movie Police Academy 5: Assignment Miami Beach, a jewel thief gang uses a grappling hook to get to a museum with diamonds.
In "The Simpsons game" Bartman can use grappling hook.
In Midway's Mortal Kombat fighting games, the character Mavado uses a pair of elastic ropes with hooks at the end, which are called "Grappling Hooks," for movement or attacks. Scorpion is quite famous for his similar device, though he uses a kunai attached to a rope, instead. In the essence of a grappling hook, it is essentially the same as he uses it to pull in enemies.
Green Arrow had a "Grappling Arrow"
The "Ratchet & Clank" series has both a laser-based grapple hook, and a more traditional spring loaded one.
One of the most important tools used by the main character in the game Tenchu is a grappling hook, which he uses to climb onto such objects as palace roofs, walls, or trees.
In Carmen Sandeigo ThinkQuick Challenge, Snarla Swing uses a grappling hook to try to escape from her temple.

Samsung Galaxy S8 has just been released a few days back and the internet is flooded with information about it. While Galaxy S8 is yet to available at stores, the South Korean smartphone giant has already started working on their next move â the Galaxy S9, which is expected to be released within a year.
As reported Phone Arena, citing the Korean news outlet The Bell, Samsung has been working on the display panels of the Galaxy S9 since late March and if what these sources are saying is true then Samsung is already six months ahead of its schedule.
One of the reasons for Samsung being so early to start developing the next flagship model is the stricter quality control process of the company, which was set up right after the S7 debacle.
As per the report, the team behind the S9's display panel have set a goal of supplying samples by mid-April and other parts of the phone will go under development one month after the display panels are supplied.
However, there is no further information about speculated specifications of the smartphone. It is anyways to early to anticipate anything about Galaxy S9 given the fact that the Galaxy S8 did not even hit the stores yet. Galaxy S8 will go on sale from April 21, as announced by Samsung.

It is impressive how there are people who are able to create a tiny yet fully functional house with a beautiful design inside and out. Just like this tiny yet beautiful home with a creative loft and charming interiors that you can be proud of having as your home, whether as your main house, guest room, or vacation space.
Despite being small, this house easily stands out from the rest because of its cute design. Surprisingly, it still looks impressive even if the exterior walls are painted in gray, a color that some people might find boring. Perhaps the white accents and the stylish trim made a lot of difference.
Gated Home, Lovely Design
This charming little home features a fence and gate that double as the walls for the porch. If you were to use this home as inspiration, you can extend the porch roof to reach the fence portion to maximize the space.
A budget-friendly design, this house also features a sloping, flat roof and an open-plan interior.
Adding a table set makes the porch a great place to hang out and enjoy some afternoon snacks while chatting with friends. This spot would also be perfect if there’s a big tree at the front for a cool shade.
Having an open-plan interior ensures that there’s more space to move around instead of being restricted by walls.
Of course, in floor plans like this, the dining space can become an extension to the living room, and vice versa.
Even with the tiny space, there’s even a cute bar set near the stairs to define the space between the kitchen and living room. This place is well thought out and cute.
Creative Loft, Nice Accents
A creative loft is set on top of the kitchen area, creating a space for a bedroom or workspace, as needed.
What’s great about this house is that there are lots of nice accents that upgrade its look without making the place look too cluttered.
You can build this tiny space for around Php500,000; though the actual costs can vary and could be more or less than the estimate, depending on factors like your contractor’s fees, materials used, and actual floor space.

(CNN)- More states are extending the time their schools will remain closed, some even through the rest of the school year, as the number of novel coronavirus cases continues to rapidly rise.
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam announced Monday he will close schools in the state for the rest of the academic year, and North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper ordered schools to remain closed through May 15.
The orders come as states step up measures to fight the spread of the virus. Millions of people are under state orders aimed at keeping them home, and by Wednesday, when all measures go into effect that have been announced, 39% of the US population will be under such orders in 12 states.
“This is an unprecedented situation, and it requires unprecedented actions to protect public health and save lives,” Northam said in a release.
As of Sunday, schools were closed in 46 states, according to Education Week, affecting at least 54.5 million students.
Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly last week was the first in the United States to close a state’s schools for the rest of the school year.
California schools are closed indefinitely, and Gov. Gavin Newsom has said it’s likely they won’t open for the rest of the academic year. Los Angeles United School District on Monday said its schools will remain closed until May 1.
Florida last week canceled all remaining testing for all students for the school year, and Gov. Ron DeSantis said grades won’t be calculated.
Requirements for graduation will be evaluated without testing, DeSantis said, and parents can opt to have their child kept in the same grade in the coming school year.
The Centers for Disease Prevention and Control has said that closing schools for eight weeks or more may have a bigger impact on slowing the spread of coronavirus than two- to four-week closures.
There were more than 42,000 cases of coronavirus across the country as of Monday evening, and more than 500 people have died.


Parachuting in ‘stars’ and paying them huge sums of money in the name of talent management can cause organisations more harm than good, according to a leading academic.
Professor Graeme Martin, director of the Centre for Reputation Management through People at the University of Glasgow Business School, said the ‘culture of celebrity’ was becoming extremely hard to manage.
“This focus on individual talent in an organisation creates hero worship, narcissism and a reliance on financial incentives, and you risk neglecting the rest of the organisation,” he said.
Martin was addressing delegates at last week’s HR Directors Club workshop on talent management. The event was sponsored by technology consultancy Diagonal Consulting, which has conducted research into what is holding businesses back from adopting talent management.
Martin Reddington, research associate at the Roffey Park Institute – who was also a speaker – said that line managers were often suspicious of talent management initiatives. “Being told by HR that they have to appoint a high potential in a role raises concerns among managers that normal recruitment processes are being circumvented,” he said.

Project Tiger was launched in 1973 with 9 tiger reserves for conserving our national animal, the tiger. Currently, the Project Tiger coverage has increased to 50, spread out in 18 tiger range states.
The tiger reserves are constituted on a core/buffer strategy. The core areas have the legal status of a national park or a sanctuary, whereas the buffer or peripheral areas are a mix of forest and non-forest land, managed as a multiple use area.
It is an ongoing Centrally Sponsored Scheme of the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change providing central assistance to the tiger States for tiger conservation in designated tiger reserves.
The National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) is a statutory body of the Ministry, with an overarching supervisory/coordination role, performing functions as provided in the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972.
The NTCA was launched in 2005, following the recommendations of the Tiger Task Force. It was given statutory status by 2006 amendment of Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972.

How The POWERSUIT Boosts Reaction Time
Updated: Aug 15, 2020
What is the single biggest deciding factor in any sport? This one thing can cause a team to win the ultimate championship or suffer a crushing defeat. Skill, training, mindset are all great guesses but not what we are looking for. The answer: reaction time. No matter how skilled a player is, they’ll always lose if they have the slowest reaction time on the court. How can you sharpen this skill to its full potential? Through the use of the POWERHANDZ POWERSUIT by Universal Performance. This is the ultimate sports training tool. If you want to boost your reaction time, the POWERSUIT is what you need!
Target Key Muscle Groups
The POWERSUIT provides a full-body workout while simultaneously targeting key muscle groups. Why is this important? It allows you to maximize your results with the muscles that are crucial to reacting quickly. This allows your reaction time to be maximized. You might be feeling the burn now but it will all be worth it when your muscles pay you back during the game. Be the one who can react in a split second while everyone else is still staring in disbelief. Let the POWERSUIT do its job when you workout so you can spin circles around the competition.
Naturally, reaction time is dependent on someone's speed. You can’t react quickly while being one of the slowest players on the team. The POWERSUIT helps to dramatically boost your speed when it’s worn during training. How? Your body gets used to moving with the extra weight making it work harder. Eventually, you can move as if you weren’t wearing the POWERSUIT, making you stronger than you ever thought possible. Once you take the suit off and it’s game time, you are moving as if you're 10 pounds lighter. Once you boost your speed, you’ll boost your reaction time. What could be better than that?
Allows for Great Movement
The suit doesn’t just improve your speed but it helps you move more efficiently. Aside from your speed, you need your body to be able to move perfectly to react above expectations. You could be fast but it won’t matter if your body isn’t where it needs to be. Of course, there are times when you are gonna be behind the curve but when you get that one second that counts you need to jump on it. Have your body moving like a well-oiled machine with the reaction time of a beast built to crush the competition after training with the POWERSUIT.
No need to adjust your training routine
The best aspect of the POWERSUIT is that it doesn’t require you to change your training routine. A simple walk on the beach becomes a cardio exercise in the POWERSUIT. If you want to improve your reaction time through the use of the suit, all you need to do is one simple thing; KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING! Don’t try to reinvent the wheel or drastically change what’s been working for you. Let the suit do its job by taking your training to the next level.
Reaction time is the single biggest factor in any sport. If a player can move faster than anyone in that split second, it’s a win for the team. The POWERSUIT will help dramatically increase your reaction time. This is something you can’t pass, so contact us to learn more. The POWERSUIT was designed to be the ultimate sports training tool. No matter what you are training for, it will improve your skills. One workout with Universal Performance and you’ll wonder how you ever trained without the suit. To learn more about training like a champion and the POWERSUIT, read more of our blog.

What do I need to do to use a diamond drag bit on my Shapeoko 3 XXL?. I don’t see the tool in the tool path edit menu in Carbide create I am REALLY new to this
Assuming you’re using a spring loaded drag bit: You want to create a tool that’s about .020" in diameter, when you set up depth of cut, set it very, very small, say .001". When you set Z zero, set it on top of the material you’ll use, and be sure to turn OFF the router. I recommend setting it by hand, not using a probe. You may need to adjust the Z down a few thousandths at a time to get a good “drag” - it takes a little trial and error.
Can anyone tell me what’s the advantage of either 90° or 120° diamond drag bit?
What would u recommend for a step over. This is awesome advise btw. TY
