In 2008 we (UrbanCanvas) took part not once but twice in one of the country’s most ‘prestigious’ festivals- The City of London Festival– why prestigious; well it just happens to be one of the country’s richest events bankrolled by major City of London institutions and featuring ‘high end arts’ from around the world….anything from opera to world class jazz and classical arts.
One of our commissions was to produce a piece of street art linking into their theme of India- East meets west. So we decided to produce a piece of street art based upon a traditional rangoli style grid system using dots……something that could involve city office workers during their lunch breaks and bringing a bit of arts and culture to a dead and deserted office square.
Now we usually use recycled CD ROM’s for this kind of thing, you know the type they use to give away free in electrical hardware shops (AOL and that type of thing) but the London festival being what it is offered us literary boxes of CD’s…..mostly demos that had been sent to them from artists from every continent…..it does take hundreds of discs to produce a work on this scale and we were very grateful but at the same time felt bad about cutting up somebody else’s art (music) for a temporary street art instillation.
Well to cut a long story short we brought a box of CD’s home with us and in amongst the box of largely poor demos I found this gem….two albums by Moussu T e lei Jovents….. (Mademoiselle MARSEILLE – 2005 & Forever polida-2006) now I’ve never heard of them before but I am totally smitten by this lot!!
The album cover states:” Moussu T e lei Jovents invent the song of Marseilles anew to spread the message of Provence, a harbour turned towards the sea, cosmopolitan and proud of it’s history”
This music is a revelation, if ever your feeling sad or jaded then this is the perfect pick me up, full of life and honest integrity…..and you don’t have to understand French to get it…..this music transcends boundaries….I’m totally hooked on this band and I would urge anybody with an ounce of humanity to go out and buy at least one of these albums.
Now if you ever hear any of the stuff I recommend being played in your local supermarket or on the X Factor I’ll eat my own turds! 🙂

You’ve never seen Benzino this angry and ratched.
The “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star went on an expletive laced rant on a airplane in Chicago earlier this week resulting in him being kicked off the flight.
TMZ released the below video showing Benzino dropping one f-bomb after another calling a flight attendant “you’re a racist mother****er.”
Benzino was reported asked to leave the flight after the plane stopped in Chicago during a flight from Las Vegas to Atlanta.
Benzino was spotted partying with Floyd Mayweather on Sunday following the boxer’s infamous brawl with Atlanta rapper T.I.

Are you a young carer?
Young carers are young people aged five to 18 who look after a family member who is ill, disabled, is experiencing mental ill health, or is affected by alcohol and/or substance misuse.
Young carers may experience different issues from adults and need a different kind of support and advice. So, we work with two organisations that specialise in supporting you. These are:
- Sandwell Young Carers
- Sandwell Advocacy who have a project especially for young carers
More information for young carers
The Children and Families Act 2014 and the Care Act 2014 gave young carers improved rights to an assessment of their needs. The organisation Carers Trust has produced a briefing on the rights for young carers. It is written for young carers and young adult carers to inform you of your rights.
There are several websites designed for young carers. Some of them have interactive forums and online advice.
Here are two of them:
- Barnardo’s – details of the services provided by the charity Barnardo’s to support young carers

We are awarded the Engineering Research and Innovation Seed Funding (ERISF) by the College of Engineering at the University of Arkansas (UA). As introduced on the program website, “The overarching goal of the ERISF program is to assist engineering researchers in developing new innovative research programs that have strong potential for significant future support from government agencies, corporations, industry, consortia, or foundations.”
In this interdisciplinary research project, we aim to understand engineering design thinking in complex systems design. In particular, we are interested in quantitatively characterizing and computationally modeling designers’ thinking in three aspects: the divergent-convergent reasoning, the system thinking and the sequential decision-making in engineering design. The accomplishment of this project will lay the foundation for our future study towards realizing artificial intelligence assisted design (AIAD). This project will be carried out through a collaborative effort with Dr. Michael Gashler from the Department of Computer Science and Computer Engineering at the UA, and Dr. Charles Xie from Concord Consortium.

Northern Swedish winds to power Google
Aquila Capital confirms that it has acquired the 148 MW capacity wind project and that most of the power will be sold at a fixed price to a subsidiary of Google.
Development of the Lehtirova park started this month. It is located in area between the two north Swedish municipalities of Gällivare and Pajala. The 41 turbines will have an annual production of up to 500 GWh, project developer OX2 informs.
The wind project is to stand ready for production in 2018.
“Google has been carbon-neutral since 2007 and we are committed to powering 100% of our operations with renewable energy sources. Today’s announcement is Google’s seventh European wind power deal to date and reinforces our position as the world’s largest corporate renewable buyer,” Francois Sterin, Director of Global Infrastructure at Google, says in a press release.
The company has been represented in northern Sweden since 2007 when it acquired Marratech, video conferencing software developer located in Luleå.
The new wind power project will be one of the biggest in the Nordic region, Affärer i Nord reports.

Errors in geography
Matt is called a US Marshal. Kansas became a state in 1861, more than a decade before the series is set. There was only one US district court in Kansas and one marshal assigned to it, plus a number of deputy marshal. All deputies would be based in Hays, the capital, not towns like Dodge. And deputies would enforce federal laws and court orders, and capture federal fugitives. They would not have state or local jurisdiction (like breaking up fights in the Long Branch). At the time of the series Dodge had a town marshal, and a county sheriff with jurisdiction outside the town limits.

From hiking the mountains of New Zealand to exploring ancient ruins in Rome, traveling abroad is the opportunity of a lifetime. Adventuring in an unfamiliar country and immersing yourself in a new culture is something that everyone should get the chance to experience, but it can be financially stressful.
Luckily, traveling doesn’t need to cost a fortune. There are a lot of creative ways to save money. There is no magical shortcut, and creating an affordable traveling experience takes time and effort. While this may seem daunting, it will all be worth it for the priceless memories you’ll make along the way.
Ready to get started? Read on to discover some tried and true strategies that will help you travel abroad without breaking the bank. Happy saving!
How to save money while traveling? Here are 5 ideas!
Live with a Budget
First things first: create a travel budget. Learning how to budget your money (and sticking to this budget) is one of the most essential skills you’ll need when managing your money abroad. Begin by doing a little bit of research. Understanding the cost of traveling in the country you are visiting will give you a better idea of how much you will be spending while you are there.
Then, design a spreadsheet tracking all of your known expenses, including hotel or Airbnb costs, food, and international flights to and from your destination. By tracking your essential expenses, you will start to understand how much money you will have left over to spend on any extra splurges, such as day trips and dining out. Knowing how much you are spending will also limit your impulse buying.
From dealing with an unfamiliar currency to resisting the high-end restaurants calling your name, it may seem overwhelming when you start to budget. If you can, try to practice budgeting before you leave for your trip. Set some goals for yourself, and see how you do! After all, practice makes perfect.
Secure a part-time job (or three!)
If you have any wiggle room in your schedule, picking up an odd job here and there is a great way to make some money on the side. You will be thankful for the extra change, which will help fund leisure activities that would have otherwise been unaffordable.
Check out science labs at local universities looking for volunteers, local call centers, and dog walking gigs. Is there a restaurant in your neighborhood hiring part-time waiters? A local family in need of a weekend babysitter? Keep an open mind and be flexible — traveling abroad is all about embracing new experiences!
While job hunting, make sure to take certain factors into account, including your visa type. Depending on the country you are traveling in, there are different rules and regulations regarding employment available to foreign visitors.
Even if your visa prevents you from working in the country you are visiting, numerous job opportunities are available online so you can work while traveling, which includes online tutoring. From teaching languages to helping with SAT prep, there is a high demand for online tutors, especially for more challenging subjects, like math. Take initiative, and learn how to become an online math tutor.
Secure a Scholarship
If you are studying abroad for a semester or a full year, one of the most appealing ways to fund your experience is through a scholarship. While it might take some extra work, this is money that you never have to pay back, so it’s well worth the grind of filling out application papers and writing personal statements.
Good news! There are hundreds of scholarships available for international students looking to study abroad, from general scholarships to specialized funding schemes, to those offered by the university themselves. With so many study abroad scholarships available, it seems silly not to apply for as many as you possibly can. Searching through all the options out there can be a monumental task, so here is a list of easy scholarships to apply for.
Cut back on unnecessary purchases or vices
Whether it’s a daily morning latte or the Uber you take home after a night out, sacrificing small luxuries for the duration of your travel experience will go a long way. Try out more affordable options. Buy groceries and cook homemade meals instead of eating out. Walk and take public transportation rather than opting for a more convenient Taxi ride. If it helps, add up the daily, weekly, or annual prices that these everyday treats cost and have it go towards an exciting weekend adventure. Do you really need that scented candle or that expensive cocktail? Probably not. Pocket that change, and save it for a weekend trip to the Scottish highlands.
Sell your old items
If you’ve got a closet full of bits and bobs you never use anymore, now’s the time to capitalize on your old things. Even though it might feel painful to part with some of your childhood possessions, it’ll all feel worth it when you are zip-lining through a forest in Costa Rica. Your bank account will thank you later.
If you want to go all out, host a yard sale! Advertise the event on social media and invite your friends, family, and neighbors. Put a price tag on whatever you’ve got, from used books and furniture, to board games and old records. It might seem like junk to you, but one person’s trash is another one’s treasure. If you have a lot of used clothing, buying, trading, and selling clothing items online is becoming a hugely popular trend. Here are some of the best places to sell your clothes online.

Woohoo! The MSM has picked up the story of Michele Bachmann's hub Marcus's Pray Away the Gay biz, with undercover footage proving that the Bachmanns are telling porky pies.
And. Also. She's a great big whiney titty-baby. Call the cops! Her house was egged! Twice!
And that Marriage Vow she signed with the paragraph on how Jim (Crow) Dandy Great slavery was for black families? Well, apparently she did ^NOT read that bit.
Which is now beside the point as the wingnuts who issued it have removed the offending bit.
Mother Jones is staying on it, though. They're compiling The Michele Bachmann Guide to Slavery.
But, hey, not to worry. There's no fucking way she can be elected, right? Bill Maher is ^NOT complacent.
In related Canadian news, the New Democratic Party has heeded the campaign started by our pal Mark at Slap Upside The Head to remove charitable status from bogus Pray Away the Gay groups.
Good on ya, Mark, and all the others who got involved in the Slap into Action campaign!
ADDED: MoJo still on it.

Jeff Lemire & Mikel Janin
I wasn't a fan of the original launch of DC's New 52 title Justice League Dark, written by Peter Mulligan, but I like the idea of this book, so with Jeff Lemire coming on board as writer, and him writing some excellent books for DC, like Animal Man and Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E., I thought I would check out what he planned to do to steer this title into new territory. Mikel Janis is still on art, but while his panels were a little unfocused and hard to follow in his initial issue, he does a good job of making the action flow better in this new incarnation of the team. His art style is well-suited for the book and I hope he continues to grow with the title. Jeff Lemire's new team consists of John Contantine, Deadman, Zatanna, the vampire Andrew Bennett, and the shapeshifter Black Orchid. For all intents and purposes, this is like a new book. There are a few references to Mulligan's initial run, but the introduction of the new characters and the new direction make it feel really fresh, like it's the first issue of a brand new series. Basically, Constantine is working for the government to help them with a supernatural threat, recruiting a few friends to help him complete his task, this one being a power-hungry sorcerer in the Amazon who has kidnapped a government operative and is in possession of an artifact of immense power. Along with his friends, Constantine must take along the mysterious Black Orchid, who will be aiding him in his quest, as well as watching him for the government. Lemire brings together a nice blend of personalities that play off of each other well, and I would say that he's created a solid first issue of his run here. I'm looking forward to what else he has up his sleeve.

T.S. Eliot wrote influential essays in New Criticism, a literary theory movement that if I understand correctly tried to revive formalism and focus on close reading and the text itself, as a response to the literary criticism of the early 20th century, which had a greater focus on external resources to help in the interpretation of the text. However, T.S. Eliot is better known for his poetry. What effect did his work in the development of New Criticism have on his poetry?
2Many of Eliot's works require close reading to understand. Just look at some of the questions and answers about his poetry on this site =)– Auden YoungAug 13, 2017 at 16:37
1Respectfully, I disagree, since a focus on textual analysis does not imply that the text need be complex. New Criticism would support close reading of any text, opaque or transparent. I think New Criticism was partially a reaction to romantic critics’ obsession with artists as individuals to be studied, and New Criticism aimed at being a more pure literary science in a way.– hmltnFeb 21, 2022 at 3:54
@PeterElbert: Let me disagree with your comment. While close reading can often yield useful and interesting results when applied to transparent texts, there are some texts (like many of T.S. Eliot's later poems) which are relatively opaque and incomprehensible unless they are examined using close reading. If you're the author of such texts, why would you write them if you didn't know your readers would read them closely?– Peter ShorFeb 21, 2022 at 17:58
That’s a misleading and specious connection between New Criticism and what would be better called modernism, a period of works exhibiting complexity, allusivity, textuality, esotericism, experimentality and obliqueness. New Criticism is not “a philosophy of reading texts deeply”; taking deep dives into the significance of a word or symbol in a text goes back as long as literary analysis does. New Criticism was about textual purity, not textual complexity and studied many Romantic authors since its exponents were contemporaries of modernist writers. I might be wrong but I think so.– hmltnMar 7, 2022 at 22:40
It is an interesting question why modernism happened in history when it did, but it did not follow on the heels of New Criticism. I actually think it predates it. Some have argued modernists (such as Eliot) had entered a brave new world after World War I and were seeking new innovations to match shake-ups in social structures, living environments and technologies. I personally think it was a natural follow-up to preceding stylistic periods, if writing can be seen as a history of ideas, an extension of literary techniques such as realism as well as symbolism.– hmltnMar 7, 2022 at 22:45
T.S Eliot’s creative output may not necessarily have been influenced by his critical beliefs. Whereas his poetry was seemingly influenced by a number of poets in the English tradition with a kind of musical whimsicality and pathos-laden emotion, such as Tennyson, his criticism arguably focused on poets who were of a different character, epic-religious poets such as Milton for example.
Criticism and artistic creativity do not always overlap. As is quoted in Adorno’s Aesthetic Theory, “Aesthetics is to artists what ornithology is to birds.” Similarly, some critics have named “the authorial fallacy” the (inaccurate) notion that authors have authoritative knowledge over their own work; by contrast, artistic work can be such a highly subconscious process that artists may be blind to or unaware of apparent mechanisms or patterns behind what they themselves do, and which critics may be better positioned to establish.
My guess is that actually Eliot’s criticism and his poetry occupied relatively separate compartments of his mind, something like the difference between being an athlete vs. a coach.
In fact, it’s slightly hard to imagine how New Criticism could inspire any particular literary style, since it’s a relatively dry theory advocating how texts should be discussed and analysed, and not favouring any particular style over any other.
1You're saying that Eliot's criticism did not affect his poetry, right? But I think this needs an argument, not just a guess! Eliot wrote a whole book on the relation of poetry to criticism (The Use of Poetry and the Use of Criticism, 1935) so it would be interesting (and surprising!) to see an argument that his ideas did not apply to his own case.

“Is butter a carb?….”.
No Regina George, butter is not a carb. I know, you really want to lose 3 pounds. Well one of the recent health fads that suggests quick weight loss is a diet style called the Ketogenic Diet, or Keto. Ever heard of it?
Unless you’re living in a remote village without internet, mail, or any other inhabitants; odds are you’ve at least heard the word. But what exactly is a keto diet?
Most magazine articles, web blogs, or diet books may have you believe that its your body burning fat instead of carbs; which sounds almost magical. Burning fat? All the butter you can eat? Is there a downside?
Well, can anyone explain what a ketoacid is?
The misconception about ketogenic diets is they lead people to believe “you can eat fat and burn fat” without providing enough information on how to execute this diet properly or educating the affects it has on your body.
Care to learn?
The body’s number one fuel source is Carbohydrates. That’s because all carbohydrates yield glucose which is the fuel source our organs need in order to perform their jobs (breathing, thinking, pumping blood, digesting food…the list goes on)
Once a carbohydrate is ingested, it is broken down into a molecule called AcetylCoA. That molecule must combine with another carbohydrate substance called
oxaloacetate; and together they form Citric Acid. Citric acid is what starts the TCA or “Kreb’s Cycle” (think 10th grade biology) so that the energy, or ATP, can be extracted and used for fuel.
Well guess what. When a fat is ingested, it too is broken down into AcetylCoA… and Ketone bodies. Ketone bodies are water soluble acidic molecules made by the liver using fatty acids and are a back-up source of fuel for periods of starvation. The AcetylCoA from fat must also combine with Oxaloacetate to form citric acid and start the kreb cycle. This is how we normally burn fat for fuel.
Think of that little carb piece, oxaloacetate, as the gasoline to start a fire.
What would happen if you didn’t have it? How would you “burn” fat?
The answer: Ketosis
Ketosis is a manipulation of our normal biological functioning. Rather than eating the typical 45-65% carbohydrates, 25-35% fat, and 10-20% protein; a person skews their eating style to be 80% fat, about 15% protein, and 5% carbs.
Eating large amounts of fat causes an accumulation of ketones to build up in your body. Limiting carbohydrates to such a minimal extreme (think 20C or less) eliminates the production of oxaloacetate. Without enough oxaloacetate, the body cannot handle the AcetylCoA from fat metabolism and therefore must use ketone bodies instead; putting the body into a state of ketosis.
Not exactly “burning fat for fuel” like the bloggers and diet books lead us to believe; but that certainly is a simpler explanation than the scientific truth. As with any extreme diet it’s important to understand the choice you’re making and how it affects your body. Ketosis has been shown to help with weight loss, insulin sensitivity, and blood glucose. But so have other diets; without as many risky side effects.
Ketones are very acidic and put a greater workload on the kidneys to maintain the acid base balance while acting as a filter for your blood. What happens when you put something in acid? Well, it erodes. Normal blood pH is between 7.35-7.45; relatively neutral. After engaging in the ketogenic diet, blood pH can drop below 7.35 and become acidic. The only way to rid the body of the excess acid is through your urine and your breath. That’s right, your breath. Carbonic acid builds up in the lungs causing the infamous keto breath. And who wants to kiss that?
Another risk to ketogenic diets, besides the lack of glucose for your organs, and the acidic environment it creates is the foods this diet limits: fruits, vegetables, and their corresponding antioxidants, vitamins, and electrolytes. It’s also a difficult diet style to maintain. Butter is delicious, but there can be too much of a good thing.
The best decisions are informed decisions. The rest is up to the individual to decide. You’re informed and therefore more empowered. And if this is too overwhelming, like Regina George you can always just get cheese fries.

Weatherford completes financial restructuring, emerges from Chapter 11
Weatherford announced that it has completed its financial restructuring and emerged from chapter 11 protection. The company emerges with a stronger financial foundation having reduced approximately $6.2B of outstanding funded debt, secured $2.6B in exit financing facilities, including a $450M revolving credit facility, secured a $195M letter of credit facility, and secured over $900M of liquidity. Weatherford expects its newly issued ordinary shares will initially resume trading on the OTC Markets with the company ultimately planning to transition trading to the New York Stock Exchange, subject to the receipt of applicable approvals. The transition to the New York Stock Exchange is expected to occur after the company reports results for its fourth quarter ending December 31, holds an investor call, and completes the fresh-start accounting process, which are expected to be completed by early March.

As i had to switch to the Arduino DUE from the UNO to increase the Read Resolution of the analog inputs to 12 Bits, i became a problem with my already interfaced 9DOF Sensor Stick from Sparkfun. ( https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10724 )
I Just pluged the SDA and SCL of the device to SDA Pin 20 and SCL Pin 21 (fromerly A4 and A5 on the UNO). And now i'm getting "nan"-Values from the sensors. The Sketch i'm using can be found here: https://github.com/ptrbrtz/razor-9dof-ahrs/tree/master/Arduino/Razor_AHRS
- Could this be a problem with the different working Voltage of the Board? It Shouldn't, because the Sensor Stick is aso working with 3.3V
- Is there a problem with the I2C interface with the Arduino 1.5 beta software?
- Have i missed to somehow adress the SDA and SCL Pins, since the DUE has another I2C ("SCL1" and "SDA1" on the Pins 70 and 71)?
And the further questions would be : - Is there a way to ardress another 9DOF sensor stick on the same board with the second SDA and SCL Pins? - How do i access the different Sensors even if they have the same I2C adresses? - can i somehow change the sensors adress or do i have to use a multiplexer?
Thank you very much for your help,

My tranny has worked fine for 267,000 miles , I regularly change fluid and filter and than I cracked the bell housing and pump seal started leaking. Sonnax makes kit to repair: Severe leak out of front seal area, after removing unit you may find converter hard to remove, stuck, and or comes out with pump bushing stuck to hub. Please click next button to view more images. They are relatively easy to check and easy to adjust, but there are different methods for different year vehicles. Make sure you get the information you are looking for. Symptom 1: Transmission goes into reverse ok, when put into drive, seems like slipping or sluggish. Along With part also large together with vbody ck ball also checkballs along with a also valvebody furthermore l elowervalvebodyviewlg together with hqdefault along with automatic transmission parts diagram automatic transmission line drawings furthermore th specs furthermore a further maxresdefault also maxresdefault also l epumpinstalledlg.
It was actually produced by Aisin-Warner. Refer to the shop manual for the proper adjusting instructions for your vehicle. First, is going to include upgrades and modifications designed to make them last longer. Problems associated with over heating:. It has four forward speeds and shares many common parts with transmission. Cause: this scenario usually means the throttle cable from pedal to injector pump linkage is loose. Finally, convince them to convert over to synthetic fluid.
Mitsubishi trucks also have stand alone cooler and fan, switch, which can be failed fan, switch etc and will cause severe overheating! Synthetic fluids behave much better under higher temperatures than conventional fluids do. The Aisin 450-43Le transmission was first introduced in 1998 model year trucks. If possible promote this 4l60e valve body diagram image for your mates, family through google plus, facebook, twitter, instagram or any other social networking site. It is not uncommon, especially in high mileage vehicles, to have this wire either break or internally short out. Cause: low Sprague inside transmission has or is failing. Customers that own Jeeps seem to keep them forever, so you are likely to see one roll through your shop every now and then. Symptom 5: Engine stalls when Transmission put into gear, no lock up, pressure problems slipping fluid may be very clean if caught soon enough, no codes.
This can be adjusted under cab by linkage bracket. Cause: two possibilities; one is both speed sensor 1 and 2 are not working, thus Tcm doesn't know truck is moving should be trouble codes set or debris from internal failure or if replaced unit already may be from cooler etc has gotten into valve body and stuck shift valves and so on. I made this recommendation for two good reasons. Usually three years compared to an average 90 days for a rebuilt transmission. You can also find other images like diagram wiring diagram, diagram parts diagram, diagram replacement parts, diagram electrical diagram, diagram repair manuals, diagram engine diagram, diagram engine scheme diagram, diagram wiring harness diagram, diagram fuse box diagram, diagram vacuum diagram, diagram timing belt diagram, diagram timing chain diagram, diagram brakes diagram, diagram transmission diagram, and diagram engine problems.
I would do a couple of things to control the heat. It was used in many popular Jeep vehicles, including the Jeep Cherokee. Hopefully you love it as we do. Below is a great image for 4l60e valve body diagram. Symptom 2: Transmission goes into reverse ok, when put in drive wont move or intermittently wont move. So that we could bring more valuable information on next posts. .
A rebuilt transmission will not. Make sure the pan is aluminum and not steel aluminum dissipates heat better. First, install the largest cooler that will fit the vehicle. A properly working solenoid will usually return a reading of 20 — 30 ohms. Do not forget to share and love our reference to help further develop our website. Next, talk the customer into investing in a deep sump aluminum pan.
It was originally designed to operate at a maximum temperature of around 200 degrees. Large additionally Checkballs furthermore Maxresdefault moreover Part further Hqdefault. Depending on how loose is how late may be shifting or not at all. We thank you for your visit to our website. We have been hunting for this picture through internet and it came from reputable resource.
Any reading outside this range may indicate a bad sensor. It first went into production in 1987 and lasted until the end of the 2001 model year. The main component in the solenoid is a coil of wire that when energized, creates a magnetic field. The quickest and easiest way to check a solenoid is to use an ohm meter. It is this coil of wire that will give you the most problems.
If youre looking for any different idea for your engine diagram then the 4l60e valve body diagram image should be on top of guide or you may use it for an optional idea. The solenoids are used to control certain functions within the transmission electronically, such as moving a valve in the valve body. I have replaced bell housing new and pump seal with old torque converter reinstalled …still I can not get a proper fluid reading at idle , in neutral , it shows way over max. This picture has been submitted by Benson Fannie tagged in category field. Here is a good fact to know; for every 20 degrees you go above 200 you cut the life of the transmission by a factor of two. Its also very common someone has installed lines at filter head, cooler etc.
You can also leave your feedback,review or opinion why you like this picture. Cause: one of sensors is dead, Ckt open etc. Cause: can be cutback valve sleeve in valve body has broken which can cause any or all of the above issues. Symptom 4: Transmission fluid is severely burnt, unit overheating very badly in short time of driving, slipping, may not move at all. Keywords for 4l60e Valve Body Diagram :.

Hearing Loss – About
Hearing loss can occur at any age and for a variety of reasons. A better awareness and understanding of how the sounds around you affect your hearing can help you prevent hearing loss and maintain healthy ear function.
To get an idea of the decibel levels of commonly occurring sounds around you check out our interactive Loudness Scale
Hearing Loss – Diagnosis
Tests to diagnose hearing loss may include:
- Physical exam. Your doctor will look in your ear for possible causes of your hearing loss, such as earwax or inflammation from an infection. Your doctor will also look for any structural causes of your hearing problems.
- General screening tests. Your doctor may ask you to cover one ear at a time to see how well you hear words spoken at various volumes and how you respond to other sounds.
- Tuning fork tests. Tuning forks are two-pronged, metal instruments that produce sounds when struck. Simple tests with tuning forks can help your doctor detect hearing loss. A tuning fork evaluation may also reveal whether hearing loss is caused by damage to the vibrating parts of your middle ear (including your eardrum), damage to sensors or nerves of your inner ear, or damage to both.
- Audiometer tests. During these more-thorough tests conducted by an audiologist, you wear earphones and hear sounds directed to one ear at a time. The audiologist presents a range of sounds of various tones and asks you to indicate each time you hear the sound.
Each tone is repeated at faint levels to find out when you can barely hear. The audiologist will also present various words to determine your hearing ability.
Hearing Loss – Treatment
Treatment depends of the type and degree of hearing loss. In some cases it may be as easy as removing ear wax blocking the ear canal, or treating an infection. Most other cases can be effectively treated with hearing aids that amplify sound. Your physician and audiologist will let you know if this is the case
In some cases of hearing loss there may be a problem with the middle ear or eardrum. A variety of surgical options may be offered in these cases. Repair of a hole in the eardrum or connecting broken hearing bones are examples of such surgeries.
In cases of far advanced hearing loss, hearing aids may no longer work. A cochlear implant may help in such cases. A cochlear implant is a surgically placed device placed in the cochlea that sends the auditory signal directly to the hearing nerve that supplies the brain with hearing information.

Acclimator Assault Ship (Empire): Increased fighter complement from 2 TIE squadrons and 1 TIE bomber squadron to 2 TIE squadrons, 2 TIE bomber squadrons, and 1 TIE interceptor squadron.
Nebulon-B frigates can now be built by the Empire.
TIE Vanguard (Empire): A light scout equipped with shields and quick engines but no hyperdrive, and is lightly armed. Best used as scouts and anti-bomber defense.
TIE Avenger (Empire): A heavy fighter easily an equal to rebel X-Wings and A-Wings, equipped with shields and hyperdrive, along with formidable firepower make this fighter second only to the TIE Defender.
TIE Terror (Empire): A bomber with heavy armament and powerful engines, shields, and hyperdrive make this TIE model dangerous to capital ships and space stations, but lacks sufficient anti-fighter weapons to be an effective dogfighter.
TIE Heavy Bomber (Empire): A bomber on par with the TIE Terror in firepower but lacks the Terror's speed and agility.
MC50 medium cruiser (Rebel): A medium mon calamari capital ship equipped to handle small imperial capital ships and light fighters, but lacks the firepower to take on larger ships. Fast and well armed, best used for hit-and-fade operations or system patrol.
Vindicator Heavy cruiser (Empire): A cheaper alternative to the Acclimator, the Vindicator matches the Acclimator in speed, armor, and shielding, but lacks the Acclimator's large fighter complement, missiles and torpedoes, but it does carry 2 TIE fighter squadrons for defense against bomber attacks.
Errant Venture/Booster Terrick (Consortium): Booster Terrick is a smuggler boss who captains a stolen Imperial Star Destroyer - the Errant Venture. He is currently in the Employ of Tyber Zann.

What is it?
What are the effects?
This substance belongs to the groups:
The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, a project of Breast Cancer Prevention Partners (previously the Breast Cancer Fund) is concerned about polyacrylamide as it can break down to acrylamide. It is not the polyacrylamide in itself that is of concern, rather that the substance is made up out of repeated molecules of acrylamide.
The European Union has banned acrylamide in cosmetics and the substance is also on the Candidate List since 2010. The EU also limit the amount of acrylamide allowed in products containing the ingredient polyacrylamide. The Unites States does currently not regulate the amount of acrylamide allowed in products containing polyacrylamide.
Even though it is not listed on the ingredient labels, products with polyacrylamide may contain toxic impurities from:
- Acrylamide – linked to cancer, organ system toxicity, irritation, damaged fertility, and development toxicity. Acrylamide is on ECHA’s candidate list of Substances of Very High Concern and is banned orrestricted for use in cosmetics in many parts of the world.
How is it used?
In cosmetic products*, polyacrylamide is used as a stabilizer (improves the formulation’s stability and shelf-life) and fixer. The substance can be found in a wide variety of products, including moisturizers, anti-aging products, color cosmetics, hair products, and sunscreens and lotions.
We use the European Commissions definition of Cosmetics:
“Cosmetics range from everyday hygiene products such as soap, shampoo, deodorant, and toothpaste to luxury beauty items including perfumes and makeup”.

Donkey Calf Raises On Smith Machine
Another option is to do donkey calf raises on a Smith machine. While this is still a type of machine, it’s extremely common and found in almost every commercial gym.
To do donkey calf raises on a Smith machine, place the foot platform and bench or box inside the machine. Then adjust the bar height so it’s at about hip level when you’re on the platform.
Place the desired amount of weight on the machine. Then climb into the machine with your feet on the platform and hands resting on the bench or box.
Also, you may want to put a pad around the bar to make it more comfortable. Put the bar on your lower back and push up slightly to rotate the bar off the safety stops.
Now lower your heels until you feel a stretch in your calves. Push up through the balls of your feet and squeeze your calves at the top.

On March 25, the UConn trustees confirmed two faculty members in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences as Board of Trustees Distinguished Professors: philosophy professor Jc Beall and psychology professor Blair T. Johnson.
The designation is the University’s highest academic honor, and is given in recognition of exceptional distinction in scholarship, teaching, and service at UConn.
Jc Beall is recognized as a leading authority on the study of philosophical logic. Beall’s work is internationally renowned for pushing beyond standard boundaries of logic. He has advanced new frameworks for solving longstanding problems and paradoxes in the foundations of mathematics, philosophy, and other theoretical sciences.
Beall’s work has been published in the highest-level venues in philosophy, including two published monographs, two forthcoming monographs, six edited volumes, and more than 60 articles in top-tier journals. One of his articles was honored by The Philosopher’s Annual as one of the 10 best articles worldwide in analytic philosophy for the year 2013.
He currently holds a Visiting Research Professorship at the University of Tasmania in Australia and is an associate research fellow at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. His previous fellowships include Professorial Research Fellow at the Northern Institute of Philosophy at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland; Daniel Taylor Fellow and Professorial Fellow at the University of Otago in New Zealand; Visiting Research Fellow at the Sydney Center for the Foundations of Science in Sydney, Australia; and University Fellow at the University of Melbourne, Australia.
In 2013, Beall received a British Academy Endorsement for Excellence in Logic and Philosophy, and the Edward C. Marth Mentorship Award at UConn for his outstanding contributions to graduate education in philosophy and logic. He is also cofounder and director of the New England Consortium for Logic and Language.
Throughout his career, Blair T. Johnson has been an international leader on the “big data” approach called meta-analysis, which pools the results of independent studies focused on a particular topic. His scholarly program on improving methods of meta-analysis has helped to make meta-analysis conventional and better performed across the sciences. Johnson is also a substantive expert on social influence, health promotion, and HIV prevention, including psychosocial strategies to reduce risk for HIV.
He has published more than 150 scientific articles and reviews, and since 1995, his work has been continuously supported by the National Institutes of Health, along with such other funding organizations as the National Science Foundation and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
Johnson was the 2013 winner of an Excellence in Research Award in Behavioral and Life Sciences from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and in 2012 he received the Distinguished Alumni Award from his alma mater, Minnesota State University Moorhead. He is past recipient of an Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowship, among other fellowships, and senior editor of the journal Social Science & Medicine.
Johnson’s early support helped to establish the UConn Center for Health, Intervention, and Prevention (CHIP), and he continues to serve in key roles to help fulfill CHIP’s mission. He has been advisor to the American College of Sports Medicine on the process underlying the creation of evidence-based position stands, and he serves as the secretary-treasurer of the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues.

These snack bites are great for quick energy on the go and with the added serving of veggies – you cant beet it!
Feel free to adapt them any way you please! The one thing I will say is the beets are very moist so it is crucial to have oats or almond flour as a base to absorb some of that moisture. Otherwise, these are great with chia seeds, hemp hearts, other kinds of nuts and even peanut butter. Enjoy!

Current Vinyl Playlist VOL 7
This is installment # 7 of my new regular entry on this mess of a blog.
I'm catching up. Jumping to the latest finds
1) Hollie Cook - Happy Hour
The 4th release from the ultra smooth and sweet voiced Hollie Cook and her self titled "Tropical pop". Just got this in the mail, and is not even out digitally until tomorrow at the time of writing.
It's kind of like the "lover's rock" type of reggae made famous back in the mid 1970's. Every track is a cocktail on a tropical beach in paradise.
And the cover art is in the style of her first three LPs.
2) The Clash & Ranking Roger - "Rock The Casbah" b/w "Red Angel Dragnet"
The single to promote the most recent remastered reissue of "Combat Rock" features Ranking Roger of English Beat (and soon to be in General Public).
His toasting style completely changes both songs. Loved Rock the Casbah sine I was 13 years old, but RR really gives it a new life. The B-side, "Red angel Dragnet" allows Ranking Roger to really turn this into a dub classic.
It's available on The Clash's UK website.
3) Manfred Hubler & Siegfried Schwab - Vampiros Lesbos: Sexadelic Dance Party
Acid jazz pop from 1969. This is a 2005 reissue of an ultra scarce soundtrack for "Vampiros Lesbos", a late 60's sex-horror take on Bram Stoker's Dracula. That sums up the music....
Here's a track of this music....
I'll be back with more in a week or two!

More than a dozen Sequim athletes posted personal-best times and scores at the Olympic League Divisional Invitational in Port Angeles Feb. 5.
"Some of our swimmers and divers performed very well and others performed OK," Sequim coach Linda Bingler said.
A total of 18 swimmers and divers - nearly the entire
Sequim team - are slated to compete at the West Central District meet this coming weekend at Hazen High School in Renton.
Only two of Sequim's athletes, Noe Calderon and Parker Steichen, had met the district qualifying standards but more than a dozen earned "wild card" berths this weekend to help fill out the district event lineup.
Bingler said the district times were based loosely upon last year's state 2A/3A times. But 2A schools have their own state meet this season and a lot of the district times were not realistic for 2A swimmers, Bingler said, encouraging meet officials to add a number of "wild card entries."
At the divisional meet in Port Angeles, Steichen dropped 12 seconds off his 100 backstroke time and is showing promise as a 200 individual medley swimmer, Bingler said. Steichen also cut five seconds from his 500 free time and finished third, edging nearer the district meet-qualifying time.
Tanner Estep shed 11 seconds from his 500 free best time.
"(Tanner) has become a great distance swimmer and I have high hopes for him for next year if he can manage to fit some swimming into his busy off-season schedule," Bingler said.
Chris Merrikin was the surprise of the day, the Sequim coach said, after Merrikin posted an improvement of one minute, 30 seconds in his 500 free event since December.
"This is Chris' third year on the team and his swimming has finally 'clicked on,'" Bingler said.
Max Flock took third in diving behind a pair of Port Angeles divers with 189.65 points, a personal best.
Thomas Moores took third in a pair of events: the 50 free and 100 fly.
Joe Dapcevich broke the 30-second mark in the 50 free (29.86) for the first time.
Among other Sequim swimmers who improved their times were: Derek Morgan in the 200 free (by 16 seconds), Ettore Scudo in the 200 IM (by six seconds) and 100 free (by four seconds), Duncan Skinner in the 50 free (by two seconds) and 100 breast (by two seconds), Alex Skinner in the 100 back (by five seconds), Moores in the 100 fly (by one second), Michael Okamoto in the 100 free (by 10 seconds), and Tanner Estep in the 500 free (by 11 seconds).
"(Scudo) really swam well in all events today," Bingler said. "Considering he was a novice swimmer at the beginning of the season, he has taken great strides of improvement."
Sequim's 400 free relay A squad (Calderon, Moores, Steichen and Alex Skinner) posted a best time but missed the district-qualifying mark by a little more than two seconds. Sequim's 400 free relay C team (Dapcevich, Merrikin, Jared Lindorfer and Duncan Skinner) topped the squad's previous best by nine seconds.
Calderon finished third in the 100 free while Alex Skinner was third in the 200 free.
"All the athletes were pleased to receive recognition of their efforts with awards," Bingler said. "Overall, we are very happy with the team's performance today and look forward to districts next weekend at Hazen."
The West Central District meet is slated for Feb. 13-14. Swimmers and divers qualify for the state meet (Feb. 20-21 in Federal Way) in two ways: by earning a state-qualifying time or by winning an event at the district meet.

Metro Milwaukee sees strongest February home sales since before recession
The metro Milwaukee housing market remained red hot last month, despite a short supply of homes for sale.
Sales of existing homes jumped 11% in February compared with the same month in 2017, a report Wednesday by the Greater Milwaukee Association of Realtors shows. There were 1,049 closings in February, up from 945 in the same month a year ago in Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Washington and Waukesha counties.
It was the strongest February for sales since before the Great Recession, when 1,155 homes were sold in February 2006.
“The metropolitan area has enjoyed a strong sales market since the beginning of 2015,” Mike Ruzicka, president of the local Realtors organization, said in his monthly report. “The influx of first-time buyers — accounting for 40% of the market — historically low interest rates and a strong job market all provide for a hot market.”
The demand is driving up prices. Data from the Wisconsin Realtors Association showed that, in February, the median price of homes sold in Milwaukee County was $140,000, up from $127,900 in February 2017. Other median prices in February in metro counties: Ozaukee, $270,975, up from $216,750; Washington, $224,500, up from $212,000; and Waukesha, $260,000, up from $256,750.
Ruzicka said as the market heads into the height of the selling season of March through July, there are no signs it will slow down.
“The biggest constraint in real estate sales is the availability of homes for sale,” he said.
Every county in southeastern Wisconsin saw a decrease in property listings from February a year earlier.
In January through February in the four-county metro Milwaukee area, there were 3,416 homes listed for sale — the lowest number to start any year this century, the Realtors group said.
Ruzicka said homes priced at $300,000 or less made up 81% of sales in February, and many sold quickly.
“Units that are in good condition with a good school nearby are selling in just a few days,” he said.
Homes priced above $300,000 also are selling, but in a more-typical 60-to-90-day time frame.
February home sales increased 11.4% in Milwaukee County, to 614 from 551 in 2017. Sales jumped 50% in Washington County, to 117 from 78. In Waukesha County, February sales rose 1.9% to 266 from 261; in Ozaukee County, sales decreased 5.5% to 52 from 55.

Operation Counterweight has started. We need people in the House and Senate who are not afraid to fight.
In many states and districts, it will be easy. In others it will be hard. We are going to have to win a couple of hard ones in order to have the Senate we want, where we are not held hostage by one or two or three defections.
Incumbent Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse is assumed to be an easy winner in my home state of Rhode Island. He has a couple million in the bank, and Rhode Island is the bluest of blue states. But don’t let that deceive you. Whitehouse is beatable.
A recent Brown University poll found that Whitehouse’s approval rating was just 33%, compared to a 46.4% favorability rating for Democratic Senator Jack Reed and 44.2% for Obama.
Whitehouse, one of the most polarizing Democrats in the Senate, just is not well-liked. There is lingering resentment from Whitehouse’s infamous speech on the floor of the Senate when he invoked Kristallnacht and Aryan supremacists in attacking the opponents of Obamacare.
Whitehouse also has received a lot of bad press because he coincidentally liquidated a sizable portion of his porfolio just in advance of the 2008 credit crunch; whether he traded on inside Senate information or was just the luckiest investor in America remains to be seen.
Under the radar Barry Hinckley, a businessman from Newport, has been building his campaign, raising money, putting a staff together, and meeting people. Hinckley is new to politics, and is likely to be the Republican nominee since former Governor Donald Carcieri announced he was not running.
I had breakfast the other day with Hinckley, and was very impressed. This is a guy who is completely unafraid of the Whitehouse money and the Democratic machine, and who is taking the fight to Whitehouse through numerous and frequent appearances on local talk radio (Rhode Island has a very strong conservative talk radio presence).
Hinckley, with a business background and untainted by politics, is in a perfect position to take the fight over job killing legislation and regulations to Whitehouse in a state which is losing population and hemorrhaging jobs.
And Rhode Island has a long history of electing Republicans to statewide office, including Governor and U.S. Senate, so don’t think this blue state cannot elect a Republican.
I strongly urge you to support Barry Hinckley with a donation. The Senate seat in Rhode Island could be the shocker of 2012.DONATE

Combining all the best things you could dream of – impressive line-ups, cracking tunes, snow-capped mountains and the wildest crowds – Europe‘s ski festivals really are the only way to celebrate this winter. From the world-renowned Snowbombing to the smaller electro, rock and indie music festivals, here’s our pick of the best.
Snowbombing – Mayrhofen, Austria
Snowbombing really is the king of all European ski and music festivals. Each Easter, the festival takes over the quaint Austrian town of Mayrhofen and it’s not one to be missed. With previous headliners that include The Prodigy, Basement Jaxx, Fatboy Slim and Rudimental, plus many more acts, they really go the whole hog. From the annual street party, to raves in the woods and discoing on the pistes, the festival engulfs resort.
Horizon – Arinsal, Andorra
Although Horizon used to be based in Bulgaria, they have now moved home to Arinsal in Andorra, which is tucked away in the Pyrenees between Spain and France. An added bonus is that the sales tax is very low, making your holiday all the more cheaper: as a rough guide, you can expect to buy a pint for around €3-4. Over the week you’ll see a host of internationally renowned DJs – last year saw Ben UFO, Midland, Motor City Drum Ensemble and Craig Charles perform.
Snowboxx – Avoriaz, France
Your Easter ski week just got a whole lot more interesting, with a lineup featuring some of the biggest names in house, disco, drum & bass and dubstep – previous headliners include Blonde, Sigma, Bicep and Stormzy. As Avoriaz is part of the Portes du Soleil ski pass, you can venture through 12 resorts, both Swiss and French, with an almighty 286 pistes, making this spot the perfect cure for indulgent après-ski partying.
Polaris – Verbier, Switzerland
This December, Polaris are starting the party every afternoon on the slopes at the main stage The Mouton Noir, in the heart of Verbier. Once you’ve watched your favourite DJs play as the sun sets, the party continues throughout the night at either Farinet, Farm Club, Casbah, L’étoile or Le Crock No Name. Boasting Larry Heard aka Mr Fingers, Derrick May, Nina Kraviz, Seth Troxler and Omar-S, this festival is a collection of disco, house and techno in our favourite Swiss resort.
The Ronnie Loves Music Festival – Méribel, France
Easter time means none other than The Ronnie Loves Music, held at a beloved après-ski bar in Méribel. Last year saw the Sunset Sons as well as the funk and soul king Craig Charles take to the decks to giddy up the crowd, before revellers flocked to the centre of town, continuing their night out into the early hours in O’Sullivans.
Rise Festival – Les Deux Alpes, France
Start your festive celebrations early and a little differently this year by heading out to the Alps to enjoy a week of snow, music and frivolities. Les Deux Alpes sits at 1,650m (5,414 feet), while the lifts run to 3,600m (11,811 feet), which usually guarantees snow, making for a magical setting. This December, the festival is hosting Craig David, Wilkinson, Bicep, Denis Sulta among others.
Zermatt Unplugged – Zermatt, Switzerland
It really doesn’t get more blissful than listening to live music with the backdrop of the Matterhorn. Focusing more on pop and indie bands, Zermatt Unplugged saw Nelly Furtado, Paolo Nutini, Jess Glynne and KT Tunstall play in 2017, with this edition’s line-up gearing up to be bigger and better.
Live in Tignes by Francofolies- Tignes, France
Francofolies is an annual music festival in La Rochelle, established in 1985, and the same team have brought four days of free live music and concerts to Tignes. The 2018 edition will be the third outing for this festival, which last year saw a DJ surprise set by Cocoon and La Fine Équipe as well as a live performance by Chinese Man.
Rave on Snow – Saalbach, Austria
Another pre-Christmas festival, this Austrian rave brings together some of the finest names in techno and electronic music, with Ben Klock, Sven Väth, Format B and Boris Brejcha set to blow away the crowds in Saalbach.
BERGFESTival – Saalbach, Austria
Another wild event hosted in Saalbach, this time for rock music fans, who can enjoy plenty of performances from international stars as the sun goes down. This year’s 2017 edition saw the fifth year of celebration, welcoming names like Wolfmother, The Subways and Alligatoah for some slopeside rocking.
Rock The Pistes – Portes du Soleil, France
This rad music festival will see its eighth edition run from March 18-24, 2018 in the expansive Portes du Soleil ski area. Each afternoon, starting at midday, DJs get to work playing music on the pistes – you’d best be up early to squeeze in a morning ski!

Weather modification used to be considered a ‘conspiracy theory’, but like many other conspiracies, today it is acknowledged as fact. From the simplistic to the complex, the concept has many useful positives; increasing water supplies, preventing hail and hurricanes, and dousing wildfires. But there are also useful military objectives which are more cynical and deadly in their agenda.
While climate gurus continue to scream ‘the sky is falling’, Harvard has been busily at work the past two years geo-engineering weather thru solar deflection.
China has been manufacturing cloud rain for over a decade, launching silver iodide with rockets and via planes across swathes of the Tibetan Tableau the size of Alaska, the project is considered the largest in the world.
ScoPex is the Harvard experiment which includes the introduction of particles in the stratosphere in order to deflect solar activity away from earth. According to NASA, such a scheme could devastate agriculture. The argument in support of the program is that the positive effects out-weigh the negative impacts. I disagree.
Harvard contends that rising sea levels as a result of global warming will decimate valuable land and millions of homes. The analogy is to ‘chemotherapy’. But even the analogy is flawed given that chemo only works on some people some of the time. By contrast, geo-engineering has been shown to have substantial impacts on weather intensity, weather patterns, and rainfall.
The same issues that the alarmists are now claiming are a result of global warming could in fact be the result of saving the planet from climate change. Perhaps the very technology utilized across the globe to alter weather is actually responsible for creating intensely destructive weather. For example our jet streams are linked to solar radiation, change the solar you alter the jet stream. Air masses push the jet stream around, change the air mass and you have effectively altered the weather pattern. The jet stream pattern has only been monitored since 2000, so identifying changes is only as good as the record exists. But obviously if we suddenly begin inserting particle matter to deflect the sun, the jet stream will be affected.
It stands to reason that geo-engineering and cloud seeding may have far more disruptive ramifications than scientists are willing to reveal. I refer to it as the ‘oops factor’.
While one justification for the manipulation is for the purpose of redirecting or eliminating hurricanes, it is just as likely that the modification could ramp up these storms as well. While Harvard and China represent just two specific projects that are currently being utilized, there are likely hundreds being employed by various nations – none in collaboration with another.
India uses small planes equipped with twelve cylinders. Flying into the belly of a storm cloud, the cylinders are filled with combustible chloride and released at intervals. With agriculture in India failing from lack of water, the Harvard geo-engineering experiment could cause India’s production to fail completely from lack of sunlight.
It is less like chemotherapy and more like a Molotov cocktail.
While scientists had polar views on the effect of geo-engineering, Harvard ignored the negative reactions and sent up its first flood of particulates in early spring 2019.
And despite all the information available regarding these various geo-engineering actions, the media is still attempting to manipulate our understanding of the true cause and causal actions taking place.
“July was earth’s hottest month on record”! The articles go on to actually explain that the ‘record’ they refer to is for the 20th century. In the realm of millions of years, a century is relatively meaningless.
Historically, temperatures were taken manually on land and ships at sea. There were no computers, no standardized measurement system, no sophisticated instruments like we use today. All statistical science has margins of error. But climate scientists fail to provide that margin – ever. In fact, determining temperatures historically did not even include tenths of percentages. Thus to calculate that the global temperature rose by .7’ between 1850 and 2003 could not be factual, it would be a theory. An estimate. As of today, that estimate is .8% based on unproven science that has changed dramatically in its ability to create an accurate model.
In theory, the enhancement of global temperature could align with the advancement of weather manipulation and geo-engineering just as easily as claiming the casual factor is carbon emissions.
According to scientists, the last ice age ended between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago. That would indicate a potential deviation of 10,000 years – not terribly accurate. Scientists claim that the reason the ice age ended was due to a rise in carbon dioxide. Volcanic eruptions create vast plumes of carbon dioxide. Volcanoes exist both on land and undersea. There have been 404 volcanic eruptions since 1883. Since 1980 – there have been 18 volcanic eruptions with a rating of at least VEI of 4.
It is estimated that 200 million tons of carbon are emit into the atmosphere annually by volcanic action.
But even this data is an extrapolation, not a fact. Still it has widely been the accepted causal factor that pulled earth out of its last ice age. Why? Because science has no other explanation.
In other words: based on massive extrapolations, estimates, best guesses, faulty science, and zero historical technology, science has concluded that our planet needs geo-engineering of our natural climate change in order to ‘save the planet’ and ‘save the children’.
And in so doing – may actually wipe out large swathes of agriculture production in order to save a few estimated millions of houses many of which are built of mud and clay.

Twas the night before Devils hockey, and all through the Rock,
Not a scoreboard was stirring, especially not the shot clock.
Zubrus's glowsticks were hung in his locker with care,
In hopes that Saint Avicii would soon would be there.
The lineup cards were nestled all snug in Pete's drawer,
With visions of benched Swedes in their future for sure.
As I wandered the halls in my Devils cap,
The arena settled itself for a long winter’s nap.
When out on the ice there arose such a clatter,
I ran from the concourse to see what was the matter.
Down to the boards I flew like a flash,
Past all the black seats that cost way too much cash.
The lights on the breast of the freshly laid ice,
Gave the lustre of game-day to a surface so nice.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But Jaromir Jagr, in full practice gear.
With the big old Czech still skating with grace,
A look of awe must have been glued to my face.
Then, more rapid than eagles his teammates they came,
And Coach whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!
"Now Zubie! now, Travis! now, Patrik and Bernier!
On, Greenie! On, Rico! on, Ryder and Boucher!
To the top of the crease! now toward the half wall!
Now skate away! skate away! skate away all!"
Between the pipes at both ends, the goalies they flied,
When they were met with pucks, they turned them aside.
Back-and-forth through the neutral zone, the skaters they flew,
Flinging rubber at Marty, and Cory Schneider too.
And then, in a moment, I heard on the stairs
The steps of a man that took me unawares.
As I drew in my head, and was turning about,
I saw a stoic face and nearly let out a shout.
He was still in a suit, from his head to his feet,
And in his pinstripes and tie, he then took a seat.
A binder of papers, he tossed left to a chair
And Lou Lamoriello gazed toward the ice with a stare.
His eyes-how they twinkled! his scowl how merry!
His arms remained folded, his tie like a cherry!
His trademark frown was drawn down like a bow,
And the hair left on his head was as white as the snow.
Then back toward the ice, the both of us looked,
As Janssen fell down, and Zidlicky hooked.
There were hits from Volchenkov and point shots from Gelly,
When play got sloppy, I feared Lou might throw the jelly.
But he didn't flinch, not even a bit,
Then he looked my way and told me to sit.
A look of his eye and a nod of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
I expected no words, but to my surprise he did speak,
Of his memories of the game, and what he expected this week.
As I sat there still shocked to be hearing his prose,
Without much warning, from his seat he then rose.
As Lou left the seats, Coach Pete gave a whistle,
And away the players skated like the down of a thistle.
But one bellowed from the tunnel, as they walked out of sight,
"LET'S GO DEVILS to all, and to all a good-night!"
Merry Christmas, everyone.

What is new in Minecraft PE 1.18.0?
The Mojang Studios developers have started a new branch of the game updates. There are many innovations in Minecraft 1.18.0, including unusual sculk blocks, the effect of darkness, and much more. Also, the authors of the game have fixed some errors after updates.
Players can find the effect of darkness in the Minecraft PE 1.18.0 Caves and Cliffs Part 2. This effect is very similar to blindness but has several differences.
Firstly, it does not deprive the player’s vision at all. But it makes the screen darker. It means players see the space around worse with this effect but do not lose sight completely.
In the Minecraft 1.18.0 update, new types of sculk blocks have appeared. The main types are a catalyst, a sculk, and a shrieker. An acoustic sensor has unusual properties. It picks up the vibrations that occur from moving and activates the shrieker.
This unit can impose a darkness effect on the user and makes loud noises. The sculk-catalyst creates other sculk blocks around the place of the mob’s death.
The number of blocks depends on the amount of experience that falls when the creature dies.
As players know, Minecraft Bedrock Edition 1.18.0 has goat horns and an acoustic sensor. However, it is still unclear what functions the new items have.
It is the reason why the developers added the items to the experimental game mode. To use these new items in the game, you need to turn on the experiment mode.
Fans of sounds in the game will especially enjoy the Minecraft 1.18.0 update. During survival in the ordinary world, the player can hear new music.
Besides, this update has a new disk called Otherside. You can look for it in the chests inside the fortress.
Download Minecraft 1.18.1 Caves and Cliffs Part 2 Update for free on Android: activate Wild Update, use sculk blocks, try new music tracks, and much more!
What is new in Minecraft PE 1.18.1?
The developers from Mojang Studios continued the second part of the Caves and Cliffs update. The Minecraft 1.18.1 players have new abilities, additions to the effect of darkness, and can use an experimental mode in this edition.
The main surprise from the developers of Minecraft Bedrock Edition 1.18.1 was a new experimental game mode. All types of sculk blocks now appear in the game world after activating Wild Update in the menu settings.
By the way, the effect of darkness now works in the same mode.
The game authors have big plans for the further development of the new mode, so players can expect new content in the near future.
The world of Minecraft PE 1.18.1 got more changes: the textures of many items have been updated, locations do not mix with each other anymore, and the boundaries of biomes have become wider.
By the way, the generation of decorations in biomes now occurs with the same frequency as in the Java Edition.
The developers have optimized the engine and fixed errors that caused crashes in the past.
This unusual effect occurs unexpectedly in Minecraft 1.18.1. Its source is one of the sculk blocks, the shrieker. When darkness falls, the player’s view is significantly reduced for some time.
Darkness slows down movement and makes it difficult to navigate the terrain.
Those who are tired of the usual music in the game will definitely enjoy the opportunity to finally change the melodies. The Minecraft PE 1.18.1 store has been updated.
At the same time, players can choose music from the suggested options. There are several tracks to download from the menu.


SANDY POINT, Md. (WUSA) -- Structural failure has been ruled out as a factor in an accident Friday that caused a car to plunge off of the Bay Bridge, according to the Maryland Transportation Authority.
The car with driver inside dropped 40-feet into the Chesapeake Bay after it was pushed over the concrete barrier in a collision with a tractor-trailer Friday.
"The barriers on the bridge are safe. There is no structural damage," said Bruce Gartner, the Acting Executive Secretary of the Maryland Transportation Authority.
The barriers were re-enforced after a 2008 accident where a tractor trailer burst through a concrete wall and plunged into the water killing the driver.
However, the barriers were not made higher in the wake of that incident.
Mid-Atlantic AAA spokesman Lon Anderson is now questioning whether the barriers should be taller and is calling on the National Transportation Safety Board to investigate.
Anderson said the survival of the driver in Friday's 40-foot plunge from the bridge to the water was miraculous.
After the 2008 incident, the NTSB recommended new bridge inspection techniques, which Maryland developed to ensure barrier strength and safety.
Gartner says the MdTA will cooperate with any investigation but that it is too soon to say if making the barriers higher is a potential solution.
Meanwhile, the driver of the truck in Friday's incident has been identified as Gabor Lobasz of Charlottetown, Canada, according to MdTA police. He was driving a refrigerated tractor trailer rig operated by Bulk Carriers of Prince Edward Island, Canada. The truck was running empty from Grance, VA to Rosedale, Md. No charges have been filed and the investigation into the incident is not expected to be completed for weeks.

Before We Go Further
Let’s summarize this section.
We started this course by identifying why it is so difficult for you to exert control and willpower over your choices when it comes to food/exercise. Hopefully you have more insight into this.
Forgive yourself for all the past failures. Praise yourself for not giving up.
Move forward but come up with a clear plan of how this time will be different.
Check your motivation. Realize you must be intrinsically motivated for this to work.
Check your readiness to change. If you aren’t ready yet think about what you need to do to get to there.
Get clear about what you are willing to change. Write it down in your journal.
Set some short term goals. This can be a combo of pounds lost, inches lost, a feeling of confidence, a physical goal like running a 5K, etc. Establish a time frame and a plan.
Feeling motivated? Let’s keep going.

Tulsa's Jail Operation
By Marshall Stewart
Tulsa, OK – Since Tulsa's Sheriff has taken back the operation of the county jail, costs have stayed below budget each year. Financial experts claim that would not be the case had the operation continued under a private company. Sheriff Glanz says his style of direct supervision of inmates is a major reason for the turn-around.
When the jail first opened in 1999, Corrections Corporation of America ran the operation. The Sheriff resumed operations in 2005.

Free Birth Law
Free Birth Law
Free Birth Law (known also as the Rio Branco Law, after its principal sponsor, Visconde de Rio Branco, and as the Law of the Free Womb), a decree passed by the Brazilian Parliament in September 1871 that declared free all children henceforth born to slave women. Enacted after five months of tempestuous and impassioned debate, the law marked a watershed in the history of Brazilian slavery. The freedom of these children was carefully circumscribed, however, for they remained under the custody of their mother's master, who could elect to release them at age eight and be indemnified by the state or retain their labor until they reached majority at age twenty-one. Emancipation of the newborn combined with the earlier suppression of the African slave trade by the Queirós Law in 1850 was intended to force the eventual end of slavery in Brazil by depriving future slaveowners of fresh supplies of slaves, either imported or native-born. The law carried further provisions: (1) an emancipation fund from which to sponsor a limited manumission of adult slaves, and (2) a slave's right to accumulate savings and purchase freedom at a fixed price or in exchange for labor (not to exceed seven years).
Although the standard view locates the law in a series of steps that inevitably led to the final abolition of slavery, other scholars have emphasized that planters and politicians responded out of fear of perceived slave restiveness and a complete collapse of slave-owning authority. The bill simultaneously sought to buttress the position of landowners and placate a restless rural labor force by making individual freedom more accessible. Conservatives and liberals who joined to pass the law refused to give it teeth, leaving the law's execution in the arbitrary hands of planters. The lawmakers had acted cautiously and out of fear; the controversial law satisfied no one.
