Media Contact: Steven Ovens - email@example.com or (315) 729-3825 For Immediate Release – August 30th, 2016 – SWL Awards photo -
(WOODHULL, NY) – Billy Van Pelt set out to win a third straight Insinger Performance 370 Modified championship in 2016, with car owner and friend Grant Hilfiger. Several months into the season, Van Pelt found out this would be their last opportunity to do so as Hilfiger will shift his focus from motorsports to his growing and successful businesses.
The rest of Van Pelt’s competition probably agreed that a seventeen-time track champion didn’t need any extra motivation to win races and go for championship number eighteen. But with his fifth victory of 2016 on Saturday night, Van Pelt found himself standing in Instant Heat Wood Pellets Victory Lane celebrating another “W” and another notch on the track championship tally.
Van Pelt wasted no time from his seventh starting position, attacking Brady Fultz who led the opening lap on a lap one restart. Fultz was fast and riding through the middle lane, but Van Pelt was stuck lick glue to the bottom line and hooking up well to a tackier than normal surface.
Once out front, Van Pelt drove out to an insurmountable lead and it’s likely a good thing he did so. The track encountered a lengthy green flag run after the first caution flag on lap one, changing the surface during the course of the twenty-five-lap race.
“Oh man, I was worried about the adjustments I made,” said Van Pelt afterwards. “The race track started to flip right there in the middle of the feature, so it did get a little bit loose. But being that we didn’t have a caution, I couldn’t make any adjustments.”
While Fultz drove a great race in second, Eric Fisher also found the bottom lane that Van Pelt used to success in his Bully Hill Vineyards, Fisher Tree Service No. 37c. Fisher would ultimately get by Fultz for the spot at the checkered flag, but not before going side-by-side for countless laps through the mid-portion of the feature. Lap traffic became a factor late, creating challenges for drivers in the middle to high lane like Fultz.
While Van Pelt’s car changed in handling, he had pulled out to a lead far enough that an ill-handling car at the end would make no difference in the outcome. Van Pelt raced away to win number five of the season, also clinching the 2016 track championship.
How did Van Pelt feel about clinching and bringing home three-straight for Grant Hilfiger Racing?
“I am just thrilled with what we’re doing,” reflected Van Pelt. “Grant is super happy. I just really wanted to be on top of our game when we parted ways.”
Van Pelt could have left off right there, but he clued fans in on his 2017 plans that appear to already be in place. It seems as though his nickname ‘The Deuce’ will be making a return, and the whispers of retirement have been squashed.
“I’ve already got next year’s car lined up. Not going to say who it is, but it will be a No. 2 next year. Everybody can look out for ‘The Deuce’.”
With one championship clinched, Chris Daugherty was ready to clinch a championship of his own. Daugherty took care of business in his heat race, claiming an additional bonus point for finishing third. Daugherty would carry a little bit of luck as well on Swarthout Recycling Night as he would pick the pole position in the redraw for the twenty-five-lap NAPA Crate Sportsman feature event.
Daugherty would never allow anyone to get alongside the No. 22jz, as Daugherty led every lap enroute to his seventh victory of 2016 at Woodhull. The one driver who had a chance to contend with Daugherty though, was Addison, NY pilot Stacy Jackson.
Jackson started twelfth on the starting grid after winning last Saturday night. He would have a great chance to get alongside Daugherty, as he was faster on the outside lane in his Last Lap, Realty USA No. 22j.
But as Jackson closed in on Brandon Butler for second and Daugherty for the lead, Butler put up a great fight for second. A restart where Butler and Jackson contested the second spot allowed Daugherty to get out in clean air just far enough to keep the contenders at arm’s reach.
Jackson would get by Butler for the runner-up position, but Daugherty was the story as he claimed the win and the 2016 track championship with one point show remaining. Butler finished third over Josh Keesey in fourth and Dayton Brewer the top five. Brewer may have had the fastest car on the track, but a lap one spin from contact would make Brewer come from the back of the pack.
“Hats off to everybody that helps us out,” said Daugherty. “If it wasn’t for all of those people, we wouldn’t be in this position tonight to be able to lock this championship up with one race to go.”
With the success they have had, not just in 2016, Daugherty was asked if this championship meant more than any of his previous championships?
“There’s not any one that means more than the others, but the year we have had, this one is special.”
The second to last point race left many possibilities for the drivers of the SWL 360 Late Model division. Bruce Miller was searching for a track championship at Woodhull, and would need just a solid night to wrap it all up.
Steve LaBarron and Brett Marlatt started on the front row as the green flag dropped. Marlatt was racing Jason McGregor’s No. 67j machine for the night and did quite well.
LaBarron got the lead into turn one but Marlatt grabbed it out of turn two. A caution on the completion of lap two was the first caution of the night. Mick Seeley in the No. 31 got turned around and the No. 14 of Rick Loucks tried to avoid him, but also spun just missing Seeley.
On the restart Marlatt led and continued to lead until lap seven. On lap seven though, Miller started working the inside to get by Marlatt and at the line Miller had the lead by a nose.
Glenn Whritenour started at the back and was making his way up through to third putting pressure on Marlatt for second. Miller continued to lead and started to extend it as Whritenour passed Marlatt and now LaBarron was starting to put pressure on Marlatt.
Whritenour tried to get by Miller, but ran out of time and Miller won the twenty-lap event. Whritenour came in second and LaBarron came in third.
“I’ve never really been a points racer,” said Miller. “Woodhull has never been a track that is suited to my driving style. But we have really found a pretty good setup here.”
“We put in 100% effort all the time, but it’s a pretty unique challenge to hit the set up right here.”
Miller was able to lock up the title with former BRP Can Am 360 Late Model Series tour director Gary and Karen Montgomery in attendance.
Kurt Stebbins wasn’t able to lock up the track championship just yet, but took a big step toward his first Woodhull title with a win on Saturday night. Stebbins was lucky enough to draw the pole position for the feature and wouldn’t let anyone steal his spotlight on the third-mile bullring.
Glenn Whritenour looked as though he might give Stebbins a great challenge for the win, but Whritenour veered right into the pits in turn 1 during his bid for the lead. This put all eyes on Teddy Morseman, who is Stebbins’ only real challenger as far as the championship is concerned. Morseman ran within the top five for most of the night, but broke on the final lap, coming to rest before the checkered flag flew- relegating him to eighth place as he finished a half-lap ahead of all lapped machines.
Tracy Dunn had a fast car himself on Saturday night, but a sealed tire was the suspected culprit on a lap five restart. The drive of the night went to Dan Gardner, who put in his best run of the season in his No. 62. Gardner finished third.
“This means the world to me right now,” said Stebbins. “We did our homework and we came home with the victory again. There for a few laps, I tried the middle but ended up bringing it back down to the bottom.”
Karl Born and John Hand Jr. started on the front row of the twenty-lap Daugherty Auto Sales Mini Stocks event. Hand grabbed the lead and the cars fanned out to four wide coming out of turn two.
Born continued to lead laps one and two. On lap three, Ron Dailey Jr. got turned around and the No. 73 of Chip Warner also got sideways. However all of the cars involved managed to keep it under green flag racing. Born continued his lead.
By lap six most of the cars had fanned out with Karl Born having a half a straightaway lead.
The No. 4d6 of Ray Hyer made his way up to second and was on a mission to pass Born. Born maintained the lead, taking it easy through each set of corners. Hyer was right behind him trying to make up ground between him and Born. He would run out of time and Born brought home the win.
“I was scared to death because I had steam pumping out of it and the oil pressure was going down, but it held together so we’re happy tonight,” said Born with a laugh. “It was about 260 degrees, which was cooler than it was last week.”
Born credited the win to a fellow competitor, who gave him a good pep talk before the races started on Saturday.
“I have to thank Ray Hyer. He stopped in my trailer and we had a talk. Ray gave me a few pointers and it sure worked. Also want to thank my dad who is always tuning in from Florida to see how we’re doing with the car.”
The Woodhull Auto Supply Front Wheel Drive division was dominated in their twenty-lap feature event by Matt Prescott in the No. 93. Prescott led the event, but the race was on for second place.
Codie Baker, Shawn Gleason, Ron Hill, Nate Freeland and several others were locked in a tight pack for the runner-up spot for the entire second half of the race. Baker would end up with the second position at the checkered flag, which brought him into a tie for the Front Wheel Drive point lead with Shawn Gleason who finished sixth.
The championship will be on the line next Saturday night between Gleason and Baker.
Ajay Potrzebowski pretty much put the Daugherty Auto Sales Warriors championship out of reach on Saturday night, with another victory on the high banks. The now thirteen-year-old pilot out of Horseheads, NY kept fellow competitor Cole Youse just far enough behind the No. 72, to not allow Youse to get a run.
Potrzebowski now leads by nineteen points over Youse in the championship, which will be officially decided this coming Saturday night.
Quinn Roberts and Stone Keller were victorious in the 270 Micro Sprints return to Woodhull Raceway this past Saturday.

zur Transformation der Distributions- und Konsumverhältnisse in der digitalisierten Spielfilmindustrie
Schlagworte:Staatstheorie, Politische Ökonomie, Deutschland, Filmindustrie, Transformation
With the implementation of digital technologies in the movie industry, the established relations of distribution and consumption were partly undermined by peer-to-peer-filesharingnetworks and the private use of CD- and DVD-burners. This process was accompanied by heavy protests and campaigns of the movie industry labelling “movie piracy” as a serious crime. Drawing on the framework of materialist state theories, this article examines the struggles in the legal re-regulation of the German Urheberrecht concerning the accepted use of digital technologies for private use in the process of movie distribution and consumption (forms of intervention), and the institutional selective access of social forces to the political decision process’ in the state apparatus’ (forms of representation). Secondly, this article is concerned with the struggles in the German civil society that are centred around the initiation of a new hegemonic world-view consisting of the acceptance of the industry’s private property rights on digitalised movies: the included the different threat and surveillance strategies pursued by the movie industry and the different forms of protest and resistance against it.

Uncover Optimal WiFi: How to Locate the Best Place for a WiFi Router in Your Home
So, you’re wondering where the best place for a router is. That could be because you bought a new one or because you’d like to improve the WiFi signal in your home. In this blog, we’ll explain why a well-placed router is essential and offer tips on where to put it so you can enjoy high internet speeds and a consistent signal.
Here’s how it works. Your router sends a signal that your devices use to connect to the internet. The signal gets weak if the router is in the wrong spot, which slows down your internet. That’s why finding the best place for your WiFi router to enjoy the internet speed you’re paying your ISP for is crucial.
Best Place for a Router: Reduce Distance & Obstacles
When looking for the best place for your router, there are a few things to keep in mind. The first is distance. The farther your devices are from the router, the weaker the signal will be. So, you want to ensure the router is in a central location in your home. Don’t put it on the floor. Instead, mount it on the wall or a shelf 5-7 feet high.
Another thing to think about is obstacles. Walls, doors, concrete, other electronic devices, and furniture can weaken the WiFi signal. Therefore, don’t leave the router in a corner or behind a bunch of books on a bookshelf.
One way to figure out the best place for your router is to use a WiFi signal strength app. These apps will show you how strong the signal is in different parts of your home. That way, you can see which spot covers most of your home.
Think Central Location in Your Home
Now that you know you should consider the distance and obstacles, what’s the best place for a router?
We recommend putting the WiFi router high on a bookshelf or wall mount. That way, the signal can travel farther without hitting anything. And even more importantly, put your WiFi router in a central location in your home. This way, the WiFi signal will be strong no matter where you are.
Another thing to remember is to avoid putting the router near other electronic devices. Televisions and microwaves can interfere with the signal because they often use the same wireless band (2.4 GHz) as your router. So, make sure to keep your router away from other devices.
Tips for Improving WiFi Signal in Problem Areas
Even if you put your router in the best spot, there might be some areas of your home where the signal is still weak. For example, WiFi can be great downstairs, while the signal upstairs is spotty.
You can use a WiFi extender or a mesh WiFi system in these cases. These devices are beneficial if you live in a large house with thick walls or a multi-story home, as the WiFi signal may not reach certain areas. If you live in an apartment, you won’t need a WiFi extender as most apartments are relatively small, and the WiFi should reach throughout.
Another way to improve the signal is to use a directional antenna. This is a special type of antenna that you can attach to your router. It will send the signal in a specific direction, which can help to improve the internet speed in certain areas.
Conclusive Thoughts on the Best Place for a WiFi Router
The key to fast internet is proper router placement! Now you know why router placement is important, what to look for when trying to find the best place for your WiFi router, and some tips for improving internet speed in problem areas.
Remember, the best place for a router is high on a bookshelf or wall mount, in a central location in the home, and away from other electronic devices. And if you’re still having trouble, try using a mesh network or directional antenna.
And finally, if you need more help, contact your ISP. They should help you set up the best home network for your needs.

Revealed – More than a third of Ipswich year 6 pupils now overweight or obese
Ipswich is now above the national and regional average for overweight and obese children in year 6, it can be revealed.
More than a third (34.7%) of year 6 pupils are overweight or obese according to data from the National Child Measurement Programme.
Waveney follows close behind Ipswich, with 33.5% of year 6 pupils. The average across England is 34.3% while the average across Suffolk is 31.3%.
The report reveals obesity rates are highest for children from the most deprived areas.
"I think there's an issue with the kind of sport and activity that people do at school," said Ipswich MP Sandy Martin.
"I also think parents who live walking or cycling distance to school need to think long and hard before deciding to drive their children to school."
The figures have been published ahead of a Suffolk Health and Wellbeing Board meeting, on September 26, which will be asked to endorse and support Suffolk's childhood obesity action plan, setting out the county's vision for tackling the issue.
Its priorities include improving access for affordable, healthier food, improving access for physical activity and improving support for children and young people to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
James Reeder, cabinet member for health and prevention at Suffolk County Council, said the board aimed to ensure children get the best start in life.
He said: "The county council's public health team is spearheading this work by developing a 'whole systems approach' to obesity, taking joint action with the NHS, schools, leisure providers, local councils and a range of other partners to support young people to enjoy a healthy weight, reducing health harms and a longer term burden on health and care services.
"Good progress is being made already, with organisations encouraged to bid for grants of up to £1,000 to reduce young people's sugar intake, school meal providers reducing the sugar content by 20% and targeted programmes in school such as the Daily Mile, which encourages physical activity. This plan recognises that healthy weight is everyone's responsibility and it will take a sustained effort to bring about long-term change."

Washington and Moscow cannot completely sever diplomatic relations, as they must maintain bilateral contacts, US Ambassador to Russia John Sullivan said in an interview with TASS.
“We will also never part at all. We cannot take and break off diplomatic relations and stop talking to each other,— he said.
In late May, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, speaking to alumni of Georgetown University, quoted American singer Taylor Swift's song “We are never ever getting back together.” and hinted that Washington might not re-establish relations with the Russian leadership. Then he said that he would like to dedicate these words personally to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov later said that Moscow would “seriously think” before resuming relations with Western countries, even if they themselves offered to do so .

Quirino Grandstand, City of Manila
On 27 January 2019, DENR Secretary Roy Cimatu and DILG Secretary Eduardo Año spearheaded the “Battle for Manila Bay,” a program which aims to clean up the polluted bay with the help of local governments and government agencies. On the same day, Laguna Lake Development Authority, lead by General Manager Jaime Medina, did their part in support of the program by issuing notices of violations (NOV) cease and desist orders (CDO), and ex-parte orders to several establishments in the Manila Bay area; this is the result of their failure to confirm with the inspection and sampling of their waste water discharge conducted by LLDA on 11 January 2019.
The test results of the waste water samples from these establishments show that they do not conform with the General Effluent Standards which specifies the acceptable level of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), among other parameters, found in waste water discharge. Which means that these establishments are discharging too much pollutants for the bay to handle. General Manager Jaime Medina has warned that aside from being issued with NOVs, ex-parte orders, or CDOs, these establishments could also lose their mayor’s permit and other environmental permits granted to them.
As of 19 February 2019, LLDA has already issued thirty-five NOVs, twelve ex-parte orders, and sixteen CDOs. Some establishments, however, have already managed to comply to the requirements. During a press conference held on 04 March 2019 at the LLDA compound, LLDA has announced that the cease and desist order issued to some establishments near Manila Bay has been temporarily lifted. Temporary lifting orders (TLO) were issued to Gloria Maris Shark’s Fin Restaurant, San Miguel by the Bay, and Jollibee (Biopolis Branch). These TLOs were issued after the said establishments have complied to the requirements stipulated by LLDA. Having been issued with TLOs, these establishments are now capable of implementing their pollution control programs which should eventually lead to full compliance to the General Effluent Standards.
After the lapse of the 3-month grace period of the TLO, the LLDA will determine whether to grant any request for the TLO extension, dismissal of pending case for full compliance with its regulatory requirements, or reimposition of the CDOs for failure to meet the obligations stated in the TLO.
One establishment, Aristocrat, had its case fully dismissed after successfully complying to the requirements of LLDA: they have fixed some of their pipes which were tapped to their storm drains which eventually flow to the Manila Bay. They have redirected these pipes to the proper discharge route through Maynilad sewer lines.
In spite of the issuance of TLOs and dismissal, LLDA warns that these establishments and all that are included within LLDA administrative jurisdiction will still be subjected to meticulous and continuous scrutiny to ensure their strict compliance. LLDA hopes that all establishments issued with NOVs, CDOs, and ex-parte orders would soon comply to ensure the continued rehabilitation of the Manila Bay and surrounding water systems.

Conflict Resolution | Supportive Setting | Positive Solutions
Susan’s mediation practice, community training sessions, and conflict coaching are based on the principals of restorative justice:
What harm has been done? To whom? Why? What needs to happen now to make things right?
In the wake of a crime, what are the victim-identified needs? Where there is conflict, how do the impacted parties have a voice in determining what needs to happen next to go forward? Together we can address the issues, determine the damage, and right the relationships that have been thrown out of balance.
Since 2002, Susan has been mediating personal injury, youth offender, and community disputes for the Juvenile Mediation Program of San Mateo’s Superior Court, the Community Boards of San Francisco, the Peninsula Conflict Resolution Center, and the San Francisco Police Department’s Office of Citizens’ Complaints. She is also a restorative justice trainer for the San Francisco District Attorney’s Neighborhood Courts program, which adjudicates criminal violations impacting city neighborhoods. Recently she has been conducting classes on conflict resolution at San Francisco State University and San Quentin State Prison. Susan worked formerly in public radio as a broadcaster, producer and union steward on behalf of employee/station relations.
At the heart of conflict mediation are the essential elements of deep listening and storytelling.
Providing a safe place for dialogue and problem-solving can play a therapeutic part as well, as it has in creative writing classes throughout Bay Area juvenile halls, where Susan works with youth offenders on their website titled IfTheseWallsCouldTalk.org. Here, the kids are posting reflective stories and art, revealing who they are and hope to become. Their personal narratives speak to the people or events critical to acknowledge so they can move forward with their young lives, and one day return to home and community.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio signed into law a measure that creates a municipal identification card that can now be used by illegal immigrants to access government services, rent an apartment and open a bank account.
“Today we’re living up to our highest ideals, and today we’re saying that no one should be left out,” said City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, calling the signing of the bill into law an “historic” moment, the New York Daily News reported.

Good news for beer drinkers!
On this Labor Day weekend there will likely be much beer consumed and perhaps apprehension about what we’re doing to ourselves. There might even be people that tell us to ‘layoff’ the beer!
I’m not saying to not be mindful of calories or drinking to excess but that belly may be more a sign of toxicity than beer drinking.
With obesity numbers trending up around the world, scientists have been questioning if we are missing a part of the obesity equation. Recent studies are now indicating that a missing piece of the obesity puzzle are obesogens. Dietary, pharmaceutical, and industrial chemicals, termed “obesogens” alter metabolic processes and can predispose us to gain weight.
This could explain why a healthy diet, daily exercise, and quality sleep are not sufficient to budge the scale past a certain point, never reaching that goal we believe to be reasonable.
Here’s the nugget: Obesogens include a variety of chemicals with diverse mechanisms of action that result in excess fat accumulation. While water-soluble chemicals are easily metabolized and excreted by the liver, fat-soluble ones are stored in fat cells where they are protected from the body’s natural detoxification systems. When this occurs the body creates more fat cells to prepare for potentially more fat-soluble chemicals.
Although we can take steps to avoid exposure to toxic chemicals found in the environment, our homes (furniture, clothing, cleaning products), processed foods, and skin care products, let’s face it, it’s nearly impossible to avoid them so then what!
What we do at home are supported cleanses with natural botanicals that give results you can’t get anywhere else. This allows the body to naturally detox and gently eliminate impurities while infusing it with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It is not a colon cleanse or laxative, but a nourishment product aimed to make your cleansing safe and effective. When these toxins are eliminated the body can then release the unnecessary fat cells that cannot ever be lost otherwise. Amazing!
Enjoy your beer this weekend! Contact us for details and to get started.

Jensen [aka Dean from SPN c:] ~ Attempting to use my new drawing pencils. I'm used to shading with a normal yellow pencil. x'D Decently satisfied with this, though I might draw another picture of Jensen after my art classes too see how much I've improved. c: This will be a nice addition to my portfolio though, I hope.
I really like the detailing on the shirt, eyes, beard, cheeks, neck, chest, and ears.
Some things you could tweak to make it even better are: More highlight in the hair on the left side, lighter shading on the left side of the face, the right eyebrow is a little high and that little quirk in it is exaggerated a bit; maybe tone that down a little, and then MORE exaggerate the highlight on his lips and this would be crazy amazing.

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EARN, the nation’s leading provider of microsavings, is launching MyDebtStory.com to provide a nonpartisan public forum for student loan borrowers to join the national conversation on the growing education debt crisis.
Access to higher education is now in jeopardy. Education debt has now surpassed the nation’s credit card debt, and it’s expected to top one trillion dollars this year. Many people fear that college debt will be the next economic crisis in the US. As college costs continue to rise, students are taking out even more loans and then struggling for years or decades to pay them back.
“EARN cares deeply about preserving the promise of education for everyone, so we believe student debt should lead to opportunities for future economic success – not stand in the way of success,” says EARN President and CEO Ben Mangan. “EARN created My Debt Story because the national debate on education debt is missing the most important voices of all: student borrowers themselves.”
MyDebtStory.com is an opportunity for current and past student borrowers to share their education debt stories in video or written form. MyDebtStory.com already features dozens of testimonial videos where people describe their wide array of experiences with student debt. The number of video stories is growing quickly, because an anonymous EARN donor is offering a prize for the video that gets the most votes by July 31, 2011: $5,000 to pay down student debt.
“Going to college is one of the most important ways that people can achieve the American Dream,” says Mangan. “EARN launched MyDebtStory.com to capture education debt testimonials because the personal stories of the people taking on the debt are more powerful than statistics alone.”
EARN is a nonprofit that gives low-income working families the power to create prosperity for generations. As the nation’s leading microsavings provider, EARN gives families the tools to build wealth and achieve life-changing goals such as saving for college, buying a first home, or starting a small business. Since 2001, we have helped tens of thousands of low-wage families through innovative financial products including matched savings accounts, checking accounts for the unbanked, and money management coaching. The EARN Research Institute evaluates the impact of EARN’s work and publishes original data, sharing lessons learned and best practices. We use this unique grounding in rigorous applied research and direct service experience to transform the financial services landscape and to champion effective public policies. EARN's ultimate vision is that millions of well-informed, low-wage American families will achieve financial success through proven strategies, fair public policy, and their own hard work.

It has been quite some time since my last birding excursion. Heavy schedule at work and the absence of tour bookings were some of the contributing factors. A last minute booking for a half-day trip was accepted with much enthusiasm. My guest this time is originally from Australia but now based in Hong Kong as an insect researcher. The predawn thunderstorm was some cause for concern. Gloomy skies greeted us as we arrived at the mangroves of Sungai Batu in Kedah state but at least the rains had stopped by then. For that, we were truly grateful. A flash of colours darted through the undergrowth of the swamp forest as soon as we stepped into this muddy domain. It was the resident Mangrove Pitta and after all this time, the mere sight of this pitta still makes my heart skip a beat. The radiance of the sun may be absent but in its stead, the vibrant beauty of this terrestrial denizen.
The White-breasted Waterhen is probably the most encountered rail in Malaysia due to its confiding nature and common status but it is still fascinating to observe. The striking colouration also made it one of the highlights of the trip for my guest.
While we are at the subject of colouration, the resident pair of Mangrove Blue-Flycatchers flaunted their way into this birding excursion and their presence certainly did not go unnoticed.
Beauty is not the only trait that makes birds such remarkable creatures. Sometimes, it is talent and ability. The Mangrove Whistler, as the name applies, is an accomplished vocalist. The distinct whip lash note of its song can be heard not only in mangroves but other suitable habitats as well. It is a species I seldom see but to be totally honest, there is nothing much there to see. Its dull colouration may help it blend in with its surroundings but it is its powerful song that makes it exceptional.
The confiding nature of this individual resulted in one of my best images of this species to date. It is also the first time I have recorded the Mangrove Whistler at this location despite countless visits in the past. The mangroves are a vital ecosystem and on this day, it provided immensely for a couple of birders on a quest to observe the alluring bird life here.
A lone Dollarbird decided to use this dead tree as a vantage point to launch its aerial assaults for winged morsels. Shooting against a gloomy sky will hardly bring out the true colours of the subject. However, nothing much can conceal that conspicuous red bill though.
Red Collared-Doves are regulars at this locality and a small flock foraging along the edge of the access road had our attention – naturally. The shooting conditions were again challenging and my images did no justice to the sultry splendour of these doves.
There are always exceptions to the rules of the animal kingdom. Among birds, a few species have their females more strikingly coloured than their male counterparts and even their roles are reversed. The Barred Buttonquail is one such bird. Anyway typical of small gamebirds, the Barred Buttonquail can be difficult to encounter despite being a common species. And a striking female standing right out in the open deserves to be posted regardless of the quality of the image.
My Australian guest enjoying the antics of a pair of Common Flamebacks...
The next and final destination of the trip was the swamp forest of Air Hitam Dalam. Bird-wise, the locality did not meet expectations and it was a relatively slow visit. Some of the regular residents were on hand to ensure we do leave empty handed. A female Common Iora resting among the foliage offered one of the few photographic opportunities during our visit here. The varied and pleasant song of her mate was what caught our attention initially but he remained hidden throughout the observation.
Most foreign birders are fond of kingfishers here in Malaysia because of the birds’ character and appeal. The Collared Kingfisher is the commonest one at this birding spot and one pair of was in the process of increasing the local population. Crabs form a major part of their diet and this parent bird was bringing food back to the nest located somewhere within the swamp forest. I certainly have had better birding days at this local patch but it still felt great to be able to get out into the field again.
The acquisition of a new motorcycle helped eased my suffering during the non-birding period. Bikes have always been an integral part of my life. They are to me more than just a means of transport. My new bike may not be top of the line automobile technology but it is sufficient to inject a dose of excitement to my daily commuting and weekend escapes. It also serves as a good subject for a genre of photography that I am now beginning to explore.

On December 30, the Texas Attorney General challenged the Senate version of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, joining a letter from 13 state Attorneys General to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Majority Leader of the U.S. Senate. The Texas Attorney General issued his press release and joined this legally empty act the week after he filed for re-election.
There is no law to challenge.
The Texas Attorney General would have no standing, legally, to challenge political horse-trading in the U.S. Senate, even if a statute passed. The threat of court action is grandstanding by a Texas Attorney General who has no standing to pursue the vague discrimination and fairness claims he references in his press release.
He cites no law, understandably. A state and its agencies are not "persons" entitled to the right of constitutional due process. See, e.g., State v. Katzenbach, 383 U.S. 301, 323-24 (1966) ("The word 'person' in the context of the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment cannot, by any reasonable mode of interpretation, be expanded to encompass the States of the Union, and to our knowledge this has never been done by any court"); State v. Riley, 84 F.3d 125, 130 n.2 (3d Cir.), cert. dism'd, 117 S. Ct. 282 (1996) (to same effect).
The letter threatens Congress with a claim that it violated its spending powers. Presumably, these Attorneys General think that they can find an activist court. Ironically, the AGs emphasize "the legitimate federal interests in the bill" while challenging a horse-trade which may or may not make it in to a finished statute. The greater irony: the 13 Attorneys General cite two United States Supreme Court cases which are examples of judicial restraint, each emphasizing and validating the Constitutional power of Congress to spend money in aid of the general welfare with a "wide range of discretion permitted to the Congress." Helvering v. Davis, 301 US 619 (1937). Helvering is in no way the "warning" the AGs' letter claims. Should a State Attorney General threatening court action overrule the actions of our elected Congresspersons? The great Justice Cardozo held in Helvering: "Whether wisdom or unwisdom in the scheme of benefits set forth in Title II (Old Age Benefits), it is not for us to say. The answer to such inquiries must come from Congress, not courts."
The Attorneys General then rely on So. Dakota v. Dole, 483 US 203 (1987), a case permitting Congress to indirectly act under its spending power to encourage minimum drinking laws. This effort was held constitutional even if Congress may not have been permitted to regulate drinking ages directly. Citing the Helvering opinion, the Supreme Court again explained its significance, with no reference to any "warning" as claimed by the Attorneys General but rather the deference the acts of Congress are given under our Constitution: "in considering whether a particular expenditure is intended to serve public purposes, courts should defer substantially to the judgment of Congress."
The December 30 letter represents the Texas Attorney General's attempt to score political points with his base: the secessionists in Texas are thought to cover 20 percent of its citizenry. His legal loser of a challenge evidences his desire for a U.S. Senate seat and his history of fighting for himself, not for the people he was elected to serve.

And thanks to the fact that markup languages are near-universal, you can copy and paste directly from Write! to places like WordPress and Wikipedia (to name a few) with your formatting intact.
So What Is a Markup Language?
In essence, it’s a set of tags that you can add to elements of text to change formatting and how the text is displayed. There are lots of markup languages out there, and Write! integrates three of the most popular ones: Markdown, Wiki and Textile.
First things first: let’s make sure markup is enabled. To do this, press Alt+Enter to bring up the settings, and navigate to the Writing Tools tab. In the Markup syntax box, select the language you’d like to use. Use the Ctrl+M shortcut to enable or disable this function on the go.
Bold, Italic and Underlined Text
These are the most basic functions in markup that will make your text pop. Here’s how it’s done:
Numeric and Bullet Lists
Start a formatted list at lightning speed by using these markup tags:
||1. (space)||# (space)
| * (space)
Quote and Monospace text
You can use these commands to highlight your quotes or make some ASCII art:
|Quote||> (space)||Unavailalbe||bq. (space)
You could mark headings by right-clicking, but who needs that?
and so on
and so on
and so on
Some features are only available with the Textile language. Here they are:
And that’s all there is to it. Remember: to get quick glance at how formatting works in each of the languages integrated with Write!, press F1 and go to the Markup tab. Scroll down to browse all the available tags or start typing the name of the function you need to find it more quickly.
If you’ve got a document that was written without the use of markup tags converted into markup-friendly text for copying and pasting, Write! can do that for you in a jiffy. Just right-click the tab that contains the document you want to convert, go to ‘View in markup’, and choose the option that you need.
Your document will open in a new tab, with a lock icon where the cloud normally is. That means it’s in read-only mode, and all you can do in this tab is copy the text to be pasted somewhere else. Here’s what it looks like:
As always, you can add a shortcut to access these functions quickly by pressing F1, searching for the function you need, and assigning a hotkey. And that’s all there is to it!

Legendary trumpeter Clark Terry is fond of advising students to "emulate, assimilate, and then innovate." If this approach is effective it means that jazz is close to achieving the status of a classical tradition. To be so, however, requires that it can be transmitted in its entirety from one generation to another. We are still a little ways from achieving that in jazz education, in my opinion.
Jim Snideros Jazz Conception series is a fresh approach to jazz education that helps to bridge this gap. Snidero is an accomplished saxophonist and occasional flutist who has worked with some of the greatest names in jazz from the Mingus Big Band to the Toshiko Akiyoshi/Lew Tabackin Jazz Orchestra and has issued several CDs under his own name. He is also an experienced educator and a Selmer clinician and he has applied all of this experience in developing this series.
Many students cling to notation and are afraid to branch out into spontaneous expression. Transcriptions of solos help to some degreeûone should be able to learn a lot about bebop by playing Charlie Parker solos just as J.S. Bach learned about Italian music by copying Vivaldi's scores. Many transcriptions are pretty advanced however but Snidero's method provides a bridge to this level of performance. He has written 21 solo ?tudes based on the chord changes to several standards and the blues which are presented in the various keys required for concert Bb and Eb instruments. He has then provided a recording of the ?tudes performed by leading jazz artists. The volume that I examined was for flute and the accompanying CD was by flute veteran Frank Wess with a rhythm section of Mike LeDonne on piano bass and Kenny Washington on drums. The student can play in unison with the flute part to get the phrasing just right then turn off that channel and repeat the ?tudes with just the rhythm section. An easier level volume finds the same rhythm section with Snidero himself providing the flute parts and an intermediate volume will soon be added to the series. Similar volumes are provided for trumpet trombone tenor sax alto/baritone sax clarinet piano guitar and bass not to mention volumes for five-piece sax section piano comping bass lines drum parts and vocals. The study guide breaks down each ?tude to it's essential elements including guide tones blues riffs delayed/anticipated resolutions etc... so that hopefully the student can understand why the phrases work and use these concepts to create their own solos.
These volumes have been prepared with the same meticulous attention to detail that characterize Snidero's own playing and writing. (See my review of his latest recording Close Up.) Copies are available from jazzbooks.com (although it requires some navigation through the site to get to it-a search on "Snidero" got me there.) I continue to enjoy playing the flute ?tudes and I think both students and teachers will find them of great value.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Many people in America are counting down the days until Super Bowl Sunday on February 2.
NEWS10 ABC's Josh Sims is in New Jersey for Media Day on Tuesday and he describes the event as a circus.
Sherman, who is quickly becoming the most talked about player in the upcoming
game made his way through a sea cameras to his podium on Tuesday.
"The Super Bowl is a huge event there's a lot of cameras a lot of different languages, a lot of countries, a lot of diversity. I love it," he said.
While cheerleaders helped to put on a show, Peyton Manning is getting ready to put on his show this Sunday.
"This has been the 2nd chapter of my career and it's an exciting chapter, I'm certainly excited to be back in the Super Bowl on behalf of the Denver Broncos," said Manning.
On the other end of the spectrum, Manning's counterpart Russell Wilson is just starting his career and his first media day.
"I'm just beginning and Peyton has done so many wonderful things, so many things I have respect for, first of all he's a great human being, a great quarterback , a great leader," said Wilson.
Media day is just the tip of the iceberg while Wednesday, Super Bowl Boulevard opens up right in the heart of Manhattan.

I'm a Survivor
By Sue Glenn
Sometimes even I have to take a step back and appreciate the little things. Here I was busting my butt trying to clean out the weeds that were cropping up in places they were not supposed to be, when I realized a single petunia seed must have managed to find its way through the rocks, the gardeners cloth, and take root.
Out of respect for the sheer unlikiness of this single flower working so hard to grow, I couldn’t bear to pull it out. It bloomed recently and it turns out its a white petunia. Which means that this little guy seeded out when I was actually potting its counterparts.
Every time it water my flowers or walk by and see this little guy growing strong, I can’t help but smile. Sometimes it really is the little things.

Recently I bought Battle & Beast 2 Skin Pack, which has a "baby ghast" skin. The skin only consists of a head-part. This skin has its "Enable_Attachables" attribute set to "false", so I have been testing it in-game.
When holding items, only a bow is affected. The bow is the only working item that is being hidden, other items can still be seen by the owner and other players (Multiplayer). Upon lookup on Microsoft Docs, it should be:
Upon further testing, I've concluded that the game assigned default render controllers into the game skins with identifier:
which is not correct. Skinpack should be rendered independently without the game automatically assigning players render_controllers.
- Buy "Battle & Beast 2" Skin Pack
- Use "Baby Ghast" Skin
- Get a bow and any other item
- Look closely at Skin Hand
Any item will not be rendered
Only the Bow is not rendered

THE EFFECT OF ADMIXTURES ON PROPERTIES OF CONCRETE (CASE STUDIES OF SUGAR, COW BONE ASH, GROUNDNUT SHELL ASH, AND LIMESTONE POWDER)
The project titled “The effect of admixtures on properties of concrete: case study of sugar, cow bone ash, groundnut shell ash, and lime stone powder” was carried out with the aim of knowing the effect the of the various types of admixtures used on the properties of concrete, in term of the workability of concrete, durability of concrete and the concrete strength.
The material used are cow bone ash, groundnut shell ash, sugar and lime stone powder. The cow bone was sourced along Sobi road, Akerebiata area, Ilorin East local government area and the groundnut shell was sourced from Oja-Oba, Ilorin west local government. The cow bone was sun –dried after careful separation from flesh, tissues and fats, the ash was carried out by incinerating the bone at a temperature of 900⁰C in a furnace. Also the groundnut shell ash was obtained by burning groundnut shell on an iron sheet in the open air under normal temperature while sugar and lime stone powder were bought from market (chemical store) along Taiwo road, Ilorin Kwara state. The method adopted was; batching of concrete materials, mixing of concrete materials, production of cubes, curing of cubes (for 14days and 28days) while the test carried out during and after the concrete cubes are produced or casted are; sieve analysis test, slump test and compressive strength test.
From the sieve analysis test carried out on both fine and coarse aggregates, it was discovered that the coefficient of uniformity (Cu) obtained are less than 4, hence they are both “well-graded” aggregates. The slump test shows that there is increase in the slump value from sugar-concrete, GSA-concrete, CBA-concrete and LP-concrete, likewise the compressive strength test increases from sugar-concrete, GSA-concrete, CBA-concrete and LP-concrete.
Based on the result of this investigation, the conclusion I made was that admixtures affect properties of concrete like its slump value, density, compressive strength, etc and that admixtures generally decreases the slump value of concrete which in turns decrease the workability of the concrete.I there by recommend that further research should be carried out using 20%-50% of LP, CBA and GSA as admixture at an interval of 10% for the same experiment. Also the experiment should be carried out using some other mix ratio like 1:3:6, 1:4:8 and soon.

1.0. INTRODUCTION The importance of understanding various types of materials used in Civil Engineering is widely recognized. There has been tremendous increase in the latest research and practical achievement to improve on concrete technology. Free exchange for technical knowledge at international conferences in many countries and worldwide exchange of technical paper, upgrading of internet information on how concrete can be improved in a situation where needed and bulletins has led to a general polling and shifting of information and recently to the publication of many new code and standard. Concrete is a composite material which is formed by mixing in good proportion, cement, water, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate, air and at times admixture. Freshly prepared concrete is called Wet or Green concrete. Concrete is used in substructure and superstructure work in civil engineering, for a meaningful work to take place in a construction industry, concrete must be available. However, the properties and performance of this concrete are being influenced by the introduction of some materials called admixture. Admixtures have been in use almost since the inception of the art of concreting. It is reported that the roman builders used oxblood as an admixture in their concrete and masonry structure. Research has shown that oxblood is an excellent air entraining agent. During the early part of this century it was a common practice to add gold dust, soap to concrete as water proofing agent. Admixtures are materials other than water, cement, aggregate and additives like pozzolana or slag and fibre reinforcement, used as an ingredient of concrete or mortar and added to the immediately before or during its mixing to modify or alter one or more properties of the concrete in the plastic or hardened state.
Admixtures can also be said to be substances introduced into concrete mixes in order to alter or improve the property of the fresh or hindered concrete or both in general.
Admixtures are classified as either mineral admixture which may be introduced as blended materials such as fly-ash (FA), silicate fume (SF), ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), meta kaolin (MK), and rice husk ash (RHA) or chemical admixture which are typically added during the mixing process of concrete production, its include accelerators, retarders, air entrainer, plasticizer or water reducer, water proofers and pigments (colourants).
In view of the above facts the project title “the effect of admixtures on the properties of concrete”is carried out with the aim of knowing the effect of the various types of admixture used on the properties of concrete, in term of the workability of concrete, setting time of concrete, durability of concrete and the concrete strength. The test also compared the effect of various admixtures on the setting to the hardening time of concrete as well as the slump and trowel test to know the degree of workability.
The test is limited to selected admixtures as a result of time factor, likewise the properties of concrete on which the test are based are limited but the most important and most interesting area are selected such as limestone powder(LP), sugar, groundnut shell ash(GSA) and cow bone ash(CBA).
1.1. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Not all admixtures are economical to employ on a particular project. Also some characteristic of concrete, such as low absorption, can be achieved simply by consistently adhering to high quality concreting practices.
The chemistry of concrete admixture is a complex topic requiring in depth knowledge and experience. A general understanding of the options available for concrete admixture is necessary for acquiring the right product for the project base on the climatic condition and project requirement.
1.2. AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The aim of this project is to determine the effects of limestone powder(LP),sugar, groundnut shell ash(GSA)and cow bone ash(CBA) admixtures on the properties of concrete.
The objectives of the study are alighted below:
i. To know how admixtures affect concrete in term of its workability, setting time, durability and strength.
ii. To enable one to know the cost of using the various admixtures.
iii.To be able to compare concrete with admixture and concrete without admixture in term of their strength, workability.
1.3. JUSTIFICATION OF THE STUDY Admixture has been in use for a very long time, such as calcium chloride to provide a cold-weather setting concrete. Others are more recent and represent an area of expanding possibilities for increased performance. These types of admixtures are available in two forms, which are mineral or chemical admixture. Admixture like fly-ash, silicate fume, slag comes in category of mineral admixture, while chemical admixtures are super plasticizers, accelerator, water reducer, retarder and air entrainer. Admixtures are used to modify the properties of concrete such as to improve workability, curing temperature range, setting time, increase strength, retard or accelerate strength development, reduce segregation, decrease or reduce permeability, increase bond of concrete to steel reinforcement, increase durability or resistance to severe condition of exposure. Generally, an admixture will affect more than one properties of concrete and its effect on all the properties of the concrete must therefore be considered. Admixture may increase or decrease the cost of concrete by reducing cement quantity required for a given strength changing the volume of the mixture, or reducing the cost of concrete placing and handling operations. Control of setting time of concrete may result in decreasing waiting time, repetition in the preparation of concrete in a large construction and therefore eliminating construction joint.
1.4. SCOPE OF THE STUDY The scope and limitation of this project is basically the effect of admixture on the properties of concrete. In view of the above facts, the extent at which some of the admixture hamper or enhances the properties of concrete is a motivating factor on this project. In this project limestone powder(LP), sugar, groundnut shell ash(GSA), cow bone ash(CBA) will be considered. The first three are retarding admixtures and consistency test of cement such as sieve analysis, slump, and compressive strength etc. would be carried out on the samples..

There’s a really simple way to tell if you’re watching one of the best shows on television. Ask yourself: Is Patrick Fischler on this show? With that question in mind, we can finally say that Barry is officially joining the Fischler class of television excellence. Fischler, who’s appeared in Twin Peaks, Mad Men, Lost, and much, much more, will join the cast of Barry’s fourth season in a major recurring role, reports Deadline.
Frankly, we can’t think of anyone that belongs in the Barry universe more. Few actors can face the personification of human darkness with such power. Of course, given how Barry’s been going these days, it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch for the man behind the dumpster at Winkie’s to make an appearance, presumably as one of Barry’s parents or as an expression of Barry’s psyche. But as of right now, all we know is that he’s playing “Lon Oneil, a man with a plan.” And, sure, the personification of human sorrow and pain could be named “Lon.”
Obviously, we could sit here all day theorizing as to what plan Lon has. We can even try and figure out how Lon lost the apostrophe in his last name. But for right now, we’ll bask in our excitement that one of our best character actors is joining a cast that includes Stephen Root and Henry Winkler.
Fischler himself shares in our excitement. Earlier today, he tweeted, “If you’re lucky, a few times in a career you get to work with amazing people on an amazing project. This is one of those times.” If this is the criteria for luck, then Fischler has dethroned Lou Gehrig as the luckiest man on the face of the Earth.
Now we just have to wait for stupid time to pass so that we can enjoy the new season of Barry. Stupid, time, move faster!
