Positives/Negatives: Carnival Conquest Cruise Review by smonkey21
Overall Member Rating
Destination: Western Caribbean
I went with my wife and twin 6 year old boys and my side of the family. They were so good to us and were always checking on the kids to make sure they were happy. They always used our names no matter when they saw us morning/noon or night and that was a nice surprise.
If you get the chance find the magician who walks around and does a solo show outside the martine/wine bar at 11 pm each night. Located 5th deck starboard (right) side out side of Henri's. His name is Bennan. He is AWESOME. His tricks are mind blowing. He was even nice enough to make a personal visit to our dinner table one night at my request to show my boys some sweet tricks.
Kids Camp-Camp Carnival- AWESOME- They were so good to the kids and they boys had a blast.
I will tell you this if you are traveling with children More then listen to me. You will get charged 70.00 per person for Gratuity. Go to guest services and have them remove your 70.00 per child from your bill. They will do this with no questions asked. No reason for me to pay 140 total in tips for my children when they were doing nothing for my children.
Also please take motrin/benadryl-which can also help with motion sickness and cough medicine as we all got this wicked cough. The medical officer will see you but they do not take insurance and it is not cheap at all. I had one with a fever and I had to make sure they would not charge me to take his temp. Just trying to help you out if you are cruising. We did have a great time. Oh and last thing. When leaving the ship on Debarkation day-If you can carry your own luggage take that self assist option. We took the stairs up from 1 to 3 at 8:10 and were off the ship and through customs by 8:30. Well worth the struggle to carry our own bags. All in all it was a great cruise and the staff on the conquest was amazing and willing to help at every turn. I hope this review helps you in some way. Have fun

Time Warner Cable, Fox Deal May Cost Cable Operators $5 Billion
By: Kelly Riddell, Business Week
Jan. 4 (Bloomberg) -- Time Warner Cable Inc.’s agreement to pay News Corp. for over-the-air television programming opens the door for broadcasters to demand as much as $5 billion a year from pay-TV providers and their subscribers, analysts said.
The companies agreed on a distribution deal Jan. 1, without disclosing the terms. Other broadcasters, such as CBS Corp., have also said they may seek payment for programming that’s currently free. CBS has a deal with Comcast Corp., the largest U.S. cable operator, that ends next year, and already collects fees from Time Warner Cable and Dish Network Corp.
News Corp. sought as much as $1 a month per Time Warner Cable subscriber for rights to Fox, home of “The Simpsons” and “American Idol,” two people with knowledge of the matter had said. If other networks seek similar terms, cable operators may have to fork out as much as $5 billion a year -- and would likely pass the cost on to subscribers, said Craig Moffett, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein in New York.
“The broadcast networks are really struggling to find a viable business model,” Moffett said. “They’re looking at the cable networks that make money both on advertising and the money that the cable operators pay them and saying, ‘We need a dual revenue stream to survive too.’”
Time Warner Cable dropped 44 cents, or 1.1 percent, to $41.39 on Dec. 31 in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. News Corp., controlled by Rupert Murdoch, fell 22 cents to $13.69 on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Both companies are based in New York.
Broadcasters have said stations deserve to be compensated for supplying TV’s most-watched shows, including “NCIS,” “Sunday Night Football” and “Desperate Housewives.” In the past, the networks traded those rights to gain distribution for new cable channels, like Walt Disney Co.’s ESPN2, or higher fees for their existing channels.
CBS, owner of the most-watched TV network, is aiming for $250 million a year in so-called retransmission fees, Chief Executive Officer Leslie Moonves said at a UBS AG conference in New York in December. New York-based CBS plans to band together with its affiliates to pressure pay-TV systems, said Moonves, 60.
If Fox received $1 a month per pay-TV subscriber, and NBC, ABC and CBS sought the same, that would lead to an extra $5 billion a year in fees, Moffett said.
CBS probably gets about 50 cents a month for each pay-TV subscriber in some markets, said Robin Flynn, a consultant with SNL Kagan in Monterey, California. CBS started seeking payment after breaking from Viacom Inc.
Walt Disney CEO Robert Iger, whose Burbank, California- based company owns the ABC network, also said at the UBS conference that he also expects to begin retransmission talks concerning ABC’s 10 stations next year. He declined to say what pay-TV distributors those negotiations are with.
“I think there is probably going to be more of a focus on deriving specific value from retransmission consent, and that seems to be a trend in the marketplace,” Iger, 58, said at the conference. Moonves and Disney have both made statements lending support to Fox’s efforts.
Comcast, which is taking control of Fairfield, Connecticut- based General Electric Co.’s NBC network, has said in regulatory filings that it also expects to pay retransmission fees, without detailing how much.
“It makes sense from a network standpoint that there should be some compensation for providing programming that creates a large audience,” said James Goss, an analyst at Barrington Research Associates in Chicago. “However, from the cable companies’ point of view, they don’t want to pay higher fees in a vacuum.”
Jennifer Khoury, a spokeswoman for Philadelphia-based Comcast, declined to comment. ABC spokesman Kevin Brockman said he had no immediate comment beyond Iger’s statements. CBS spokesman Dana McClintock also declined to comment.
It will take time before programmers all get paid based on the number of viewers, because content-contract expirations are staggered, Goss said. For example, News Corp.’s deal with Time Warner Cable to carry cable networks Fox News and Fox Business wasn’t negotiated in the Jan. 1 settlement.
Time Warner Cable CEO Glenn Britt has said that Fox wouldn’t have been able to start Fox Business without bundling it to Fox’s more successful channels.
“What we’re hearing from consumers, who ultimately pay the bills, not me, is that they’d like more choice, which is smaller packages,” Britt, 60, said in an interview on Dec. 21.
Although Time Warner Cable and News Corp. resolved their fee dispute, smaller battles continue. Mediacom Communications Corp., a Middletown, New York-based cable-television provider serving parts of Iowa and Wisconsin, and Hunt Valley, Maryland- based station owner Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc. agreed to extend their retransmission deal until Jan. 8 as they negotiate.
Scripps Networks Interactive Inc., based in Knoxville, Tennessee, pulled Food Network and HGTV from about 3.1 million Cablevision Systems Corp. customers on Jan. 1 after the two sides failed to reach a resolution on payments.

It matters which state you live in, and whether that state offers any protections for minorities and the poor.
Minimum wage in Texas, place of your bloggerbot's previous residence: $5.15
Minimum wage in California, state where he now blissfully resides: $9.14
Unlike Texas, California also protects its citizens from discrimination on the basis of gender identity. So does New York City. Protective laws, or lack thereof, will likely determine the outcomes of two cases hot off the wire. A transgender woman in New York was refused admittance into Loehmann's dressing rooms. She is suing, and will almost certainly win because the store's policy violates city law. A woman in Texas had an employment offer rescinded when the would-be employer, River Oaks Imaging and Diagnostic, learned she was transgendered. She has sued. According to the suit, the company claimed "she misrepresented herself as a woman," brazenly announcing the reasons for its actions because there are no laws against them.
Go west, young man, go west. (Or move to New York, but I hear there are no butches there.)

Well it’s just two days away! Our 25th Anniversary Gala. It’s so exciting to see the huge team working to make it happen. It’s two years in the planning. Name tags, gorgeous drapes, wonderful wine being delivered, “taste of the neighborhood” gift certificates and food donations being heaped at the door like manna from heaven. And 25 performers to “serenade” us as we honor Philip Armour.
And then the wonderful article in today’s Chronicle. WOW. It’s almost two pages. Wonderful. Wonderful. Wonderful. (http://www.sfgate.com/performance/article/The-Marsh-Standing-alone-for-25-years-as-a-venue-5873234.php) All it says and then all it can’t cover. It would take a book! Now why didn’t I write that book? Umm… maybe I will!
The article couldn’t possibly tell the whole story of all 25 years of performers, my fellow honoree and Marsh (and my) Best Friend, Philip Armour, the huge impact of the Marsh board, the gala committees, the staff, the advisors, the contributors, family, friends and every audience member that has ever seen a show. The entire Marsh community is why we have existed these past 25 years.
So THANK YOU to all on this erev eve of our gala. Wish we could stream it so everyone who can’t fit through our door could be part of it. But please note, that the gala is just the launch of our 25th Anniversary festivities. (Keep an eye out for Pet Talk III) I will keep you posted.

Students comment on pressures of relationships and dating
Marie Fazio | Tuesday, February 14, 2017
Whether it’s buying chocolates or giving flowers, people around the world celebrate Valentine’s Day by taking part in any one of its many traditions. At Notre Dame, the typical Valentine’s Day traditions supplement a long list of others that stereotypically characterize the campus dating experience, such as making eye contact at Domerfest, walking around the lakes holding hands, kissing under the Lyons arch and receiving a “ring before spring.”
Boasting a number of students who owe their existence to the fact that their parents met at the University, Notre Dame stands apart from other schools in terms of the pressure for dating and finding a soul mate.
Julia Murray and Lukas O’Donnell
Julia Murray strayed from tradition by receiving a ring in the spring of her junior year instead of her senior one. Murray and O’Donnell met on their first day in their first class of freshman year, but didn’t begin dating until they were sophomores.
Due to “superstition,” O’Donnell said he refused to hold her hand around the lakes until after they were engaged.
In classic Notre Dame fashion, he proposed by the lakes. The newly engaged couple followed the proposal with lighting a candle at the Grotto and a kiss under Lyon’s arch in a marathon of Notre Dame traditions.
As one of the first couples of the class of 2017 to be engaged, Murray and O’Donnell became well-known around campus, and continue to receive lots of opinions and unsolicited advice.
“The more negative reactions I got were from my professors, but it was positive overall from the student body,” Murray said.
From her unique perspective, Murray said she views the dating culture of Notre Dame as a culture of extremes.
“I feel like you’re either looking for someone to date and get married to, or you’re stuck in the hook-up culture … there doesn’t seem to be a culture of casual dating.
“There are people who I’m not friends with who think it’s absolutely insane that we’re getting married two weeks after graduation, but Notre Dame still has a relatively large group of conservative students who are cradle Catholics and want to get married soon. I think that there are other people who just rebel against that,” Murray said.
Kevin Dingens, sophomore computer science major of Dunne Hall, said he does not totally agree with the college hook-up culture, but that he understands it.
“I see college hookup as a manifestation of the pressures of college, and people opting out of the relationship part in favor of the career part of their life,” Dingens said.
Of Dingens’ friends, a small minority are in committed relationships, perhaps due to the pressure of marriage that seems to come with a Notre Dame relationship, he said.
“There is a stereotype here that exists that you come to Notre Dame, you get married and you have a ‘Notre family,’ which is kind of bizarre,” Dingens said. “It’s unique to Notre Dame given its Catholic affiliation. Most of the people here, their values are grounded in Catholicism and staying with someone and not really engaging fully in this hookup culture.”
Talia Snyder and Joe Pinto
Talia Snyder and Joseph Pinto, sophomores of McGlinn Hall and Sorin Hall, started dating Dec. 1 of their freshman year after going out a few times. Although they have participated in some of the typical dating traditions, they said they don’t feel them to be necessary.
“It’s very relaxed on campus — I don’t think girls and guys feel pressured to be dating,” Snyder said.
Similarly, Snyder and Pinto said they do not feel any pressure to succumb to traditions such as the ring before spring.
“I am not a fan of it because I don’t see any big rush,” Snyder said. “You have your whole lives and just because you’re leaving school does not mean you have to have some crazy commitment. It’s kind of silly.”
“You have to learn how to live on your own before you can live with someone else,” Pinto said. “I need to learn on my own before I’m in a situation where we both have to learn together.”
Nicholas Monsalve and Caterina Breuer
Freshmen Nicholas Monsalve and Caterina Breuer, who have been dating for six months, met through a Notre Dame class of 2020 Facebook group after realizing they live relatively close to each other.
“I think that dating at Notre Dame is unique because all the undergraduates are aware that there is a relatively large amount of marriages amongst Notre Dame alum that were established here during their respective undergraduate years,” Monsalve said.
“I know our relationship’s strength was increased by being at such a community-based, loving environment,” Breuer said.
Both Breuer and Monsalve said the existence of the traditions has not put any pressure on their relationship.
“If we’re meant to be, we’re meant to be. Notre Dame traditions aren’t going to determine or affect that,” Breuer said.
Kelly Valenzi, an off-campus junior studying mechanical engineering who identifies in the LGBTQ community as a lesbian, said same-sex dating is more common at Notre Dame than one might think.
Two girls eating dinner together are assumed to be friends more often than not, though they may be on a date. In some ways, this alleviates some of the pressure to engage in the traditional high intensity sport with the end goal of marriage that is Notre Dame dating, Valenzi said.
“The perception of most dating at Notre Dame is kind of intense. Not everyone obviously, but some people have a ring by spring or they’re going for their MRS degree. I’ve never met anyone in the LGBT community here who has that perception, so I think it’s probably more casual than most,” Valenzi said.
“The less intense dating of the LBGT community may also be contributed to the conservative environment of Notre Dame, and the fact that there are very few people [of the LGBT community] who will walk across the quad, holding hands,” Valenzi said.
“Compared to my hometown, everything feels more secretive and less open,” she said. “Being from a liberal place makes everything easier — there are more people on the apps and everyone is more willing to be open with what you’re doing. Here, I think, that kind of slows down the intensity in some ways, but I think it makes it more personal than public for others.”

Stephen King has stopped Facebook, Inc stating that he’s uncomfortable with all the “flood of bogus information allowed in its own political advertisements”.
The bestselling horror novelist, a successful user of social networking, also said that he wasn’t “convinced in [Facebook, Inc.] ability to safeguard its customers’ privacy”. King made the statement on Twitter, where he’s 5.6m followers. His FB page was deleted.
The social media has confronted backlash over its choice to not factcheck political advertisements, together with chief executive Mark Zuckerberg asserting that “political language is significant” and shouldn’t be censored. Facebook stated last month that although it’d considered restricting the targeting of political advertisements, it believed that “individuals need to be able to hear from individuals who would like to direct them warts and all, and that what they say ought to be scrutinized and debated in people”.
Last October, the business came under fire for broadcasting a 30-second video in the Trump campaign that falsely claimed that Joe Biden “guaranteed Ukraine a billion dollars when they fired the prosecutor investigating his son’s firm”. CNN declined to run the ad, stating that it “leaves assertions that were proven demonstrably untrue by different news outlets”.

I’ve been searching the internet for a bow tech quiver for quite a while now. You see, as I’m constantly at the computer, it’s really not the case that I have a lot of time to keep a bow tech quiver in the garage, but I’m always on the lookout for a bow tech quiver that is well made.
Bow tech quivers are generally simple and very durable, and are typically made from a few materials that you can’t notice, like brass, brass plated steel, silver, or aluminum. Im a big fan of the aluminum one, because it has a lot of metal in it, and its also very long-lasting. Unfortunately, bow tech quivers are rarely made from a single material, so you have to decide which one you want for your bow.
If you dont know what bow tech quiver is, it is generally made with the brass plated steel or the brass plated steel with a silver-plated steel frame. I personally like the brass one because the frame is thicker and gives it a better weight distribution.
Aluminum is actually pretty much the only material to which bow tech quiches are made. It is incredibly strong but brittle and not as pretty as the brass version. I would say that only one bow tech quiver exists in the world, and I saw it myself, but it doesn’t really matter because it’s in the bow shop of a high-end bow store and costs a pretty penny to buy.
It’s the aluminum version that doesn’t have the brass one, which is less strong but less heavy. For the bow shop of a high-end bow store, who will probably buy it anyway.
The bow stuff you find at the bow shop is usually the best. I have two of these aluminum quiches and love them. The brass one is a bit thicker and a bit heavier, but is also very cool because it has a real bow handle. The aluminum one is thinner and lighter, but is also just cool because it comes with a bow handle.
The bow handle is another thing that makes this quiver special. Unlike the bow, this quiver does not come with a bow so it can be used as an arrow. Instead, it only comes with a bow so you can use it to draw a bow. Some people like using the bow to shoot arrows, but I like the bow handle for drawing bows. I think that’s some of the coolest quivers I have seen.
Another thing about the bow handle is that it allows you to use it to draw a bow. Many people don’t like to draw arrows, but I just find this to be a thing of beauty. It is a little extra effort, but it is so much more satisfying than simply using a bow to draw an arrow.
I think its actually a fun idea. I think it would be cool to have a bow that comes with a bow so you can use it to draw a bow. I think thats the coolest thing for a bow. And it comes in all sorts of cool colors.
I think this is a great idea, but there are a few problems. Firstly, it would be a lot of work to make one and you’d have to make it yourself, and second, there are very few bow makers who make custom arrows. There are many arrow makers who make standard arrows, but I think if you were to design one yourself, you’d have to add a lot of extra weight to the handle so it would be easy to draw and hold.

MSP for Na h-Eileanan an Iar Alasdair Allan has paid a special thank-you to shop staff as part of a campaign to tackle crime and encourage greater respect for retailers.
He visited the Co-op in Stornoway yesterday to show support for a drive by the Scottish Grocers’ Federation (SGF) urging everyone to #SayThanks the next time they are in their local convenience store.
People are being urged to show their gratitude for all that shop workers have done for them and their community - particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic - after a new law came into force.
The Protection of Workers Act gives stronger protection to retail staff across Scotland who suffer threats, abuse or assaults and has been widely welcomed across the sector.
SGF is highlighting the new measures through it’s Don’t Put Up With It Campaign, urging retailers to report every crime they witness in their shops, as well as urging customers to thank the people who serve them.
“Our shop workers have played a vital part in keeping the country moving throughout the pandemic,” said Allan, commenting after his visit, “and I am pleased to have had a chance to show some of my own appreciation for all they have done and continue to do to keep communities throughout the Western Isles well-supplied.”
The Don’t Put Up With It campaign is being made possible as part of a £50,000 package from the Scottish Government to tackle retail crime. SGF is working with the charity Crimestoppers, its youth programme Fearless and Police Scotland to spread the message.
SGF Chief Executive Dr Pete Cheema said: “The simple act of saying thanks can make a remarkable difference to a retail worker’s day.
“Local convenience stores really stepped up to the plate during Covid, making immediate alterations to their stores to keep them open, make them Covid-safe, and service the local communities who needed them the most.
“So, the next time you pop around the corner for some essential supplies, #SayThanks. If you’re grateful that your local store is there; if you’re grateful they’ve been there during the pandemic; if you want them to stay there as long as you are, #SayThanks.
“And, if you do witness a crime in a shop, please support your local retailer by sharing information and help bring those responsible to justice.”
To find out more about the campaign and find out how you can show your support, go to www.dontputupwithit.scot. Follow #DontPutUpWithIt and #SayThanks on social media.
Details about crimes should be reported to Police Scotland on 101. Call 999 in an emergency. Information about those responsible for offences can also be passed anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

I recently purchased a new high speed camera to record the new projects. This was a video test I did to see the quality. I love the new camera, but the high speed has a very low resolution and requires a lot of additional lighting. At the end of the day I’m glad I paid $250 for the high speed despite these flaws.
The Active Structures Laboratory built these amazing pipe inspection robots. The mechanism has a spinning wheel assembly that propels it through pipes. It even allows it to climb up pipes almost effortlessly. I wonder if someone can build something similar using Lego bricks. They have some really good videos of it on their website.
Lego bricks are great for making models, but sometimes you can make real tools with them. If you want to work with foam you should definitely consider building this hot wire cutter. It’s a great tool because it doesn’t leave any dust and it cuts through foam like butter. A few years back I didn’t have any scrap wood but I had plenty of Lego pieces.
Delicious Apple Infused Pumpkin using an Common Household Air Cannon!
One of my hobbies is taking out the Airsoft gun and picking off innocent Lego bricks from a shelf. Eventually I got tired of picking up my fallen victims and decided to turn the Lego’s into a self resetting target range. I wanted to make a cool electronic range, but I figured there must be an easy mechanical way that doesn’t cost me $12 per servo and days worth of wiring. I looked on the internet and found some $60+ dollar targets and just knew I could redesign them using Lego pieces. Once I found the right angles and proportions for the pieces the thing worked like a charm. When I shot the bottom two targets they get locked in place. When finished I shot the top target to release the bottom two. I added a stop motion video on how to construct one at the end and some different views so you can build your own.
I got bored and decided to make a BB gun using my air compressor. The secret sauce is a one way valve that blocks air from the firing chamber but allows air in the other direction to rapidly propel ammo into the gun. This allows me to tube fed BB’s, even when the gun is inverted. It’s also much faster than gravity feed versions. Watch the video for some action shots and how to make the valve.
I’ve been working on a new CNC mill and I’m using ACME rods to drive the x and y axis. An ACME rod has about half the turns per inch when compared to a standard rod and allows the machine to move twice as fast. The only downsides are ACME couplers and nuts are expensive and difficult to make without $40 ACME taps. I stumbled onto Michael McKinley’s site and decided to try making a homemade tap. He used a drill press and a file for his. I wanted to spice it up and used a Dremel and belt sander, it took 30 minutes and saved me a lot of money. Best part this trick can be used on any threaded rod as long as the material you are cutting into is soft. Michael’s site has a lot more detail on the angles of the flutes and how to cut the reliefs. I winged it since I was only cutting delrin plastic. I might fine tune it at a later date if I want to try some soft aluminum.
It was made out of printed parts, so it would only last a month before I’d need to print new bearings and other moving parts.
From Printcrime by Cory Doctorow. Link here:http://craphound.com/?p=573
I am glad to bring us closer to this terrible future. Here are some printable bearings I made. I am working on a project that needs alot of them and was enraged by not being able to print them. Especially after reading this story.
Get the models here:
They are a little tricky to put together. First you have to cut out about 15 sections of printing stock into 2cm long segments. The length is flexible, as long as it fits into the bearing housing . Then place all of the pieces of stock into the outer ring for the bearing. Carefully place the inner tube into the out ring and snap it shut. Now it should roll freely. Depending on how well your printer performs you will have a shorter or longer break in period. After the pieces are properly broken in its nearly as smooth as metal ball bearings. I haven’t done a load test on them, but they spin freely when spun by hand.
A couple of my friends and I took the mechatronics class at our university last year. For our final project we built an autonomous sentry turret capable of picking out people in a room and shooting them down. We called it the Digital Assignation & Violence Entity, or D.A.V.E. for short. We think this is the latest in proactive autonomous personal defense, if you happen to be on a shoe string budget that is.
Some of D.A.V.E.’s features:
- Finds people up to 20 feet away
- 150° scan range
- Holds 20 foam darts at a time
Since this was a class project we were expected to purchase our own supplies for anything we wanted to build. Which meant we where going to build this turret out of whatever supplies we had on hand. We made the frame out of scrapes of wood we had around. The toy gun we purchased at a 60% discount from a KB toys that was going out of business. The fabric covering the base used to be a pair of pants…

*My mushrooms are about 2”/5 ½ cm from edge to edge. The mushrooms shrink quite a lot when cooked.
*Don’t wash the mushrooms in water. They soak it up like a sponge, losing flavour in the process. Wipe away any soil or grit with a piece of dry kitchen paper. Only choose damp kitchen paper if the mushrooms are very dirty.
*If you don’t care for capsicum/bell pepper you could use chopped celery instead.
* I prefer to grate parmesan myself thus avoiding unnecessary additives. Frequently, additives are incorporated into pre-grated cheese to prevent it from forming a clump or becoming mouldy. Additionally, grating your own cheese is generally cheaper. I frequently buy a large block of parmesan, whiz it in the food processor until it forms fine crumbs and then store it in the freezer and use it as required. A real time-saver and I assure you it tastes better.
*Check that the seasoning is to your taste. With the saltiness of the bacon and Parmesan cheese, you may not need to add any salt.

For the time being, it remains unknown whether outdoor gambling options would at least partially solve an impasse between casino employees who want to see smoking banned from Atlantic City casinos and the representatives of the local gambling sector who fear a smoking ban would seriously hurt their businesses and cost the industry a lot of jobs.
According to experts, that may depend on the exact definition of “outdoor gambling”.
As CasinoGamesPro has reported, a large number of casino workers have been calling for the state lawmakers to enact a law that would see smoking inside the 9 Atlantic City casinos banned. Currently, casinos are the only establishments on the territory of the state of New Jersey where indoor smoking is still available, so the trade association of the industry – the Casino Association of New Jersey – has opposed the proposed smoking ban, claiming that it would result in serious lay-offs and lower earnings.
A bill that would see indoor smoking in local casinos has not been considered by the New Jersey lawmakers for months, so it would eventually have a hearing, although more than 50% of the local legislators have been announced as its sponsors and co-sponsors. In 2021, an identical piece of legislation faced the same fate, as it was left without action, despite calls on the lawmakers to do something about it.
Casino Workers Must Not Be Made Suffer Second-Hand Smoke
As CasinoGamesPro reported, a group of casino workers has shared that any solution to the matter includes two demands that are not to be negotiated – that no smoking is allowed inside the casinos, and that no casino employee is exposed to second-hand smoke at their workplace.
Under the existing rules in Atlantic City, smoking is currently allowed on 25% of the casino floor, but the areas are not clearly defined, so indoor smoking is pretty much spread throughout the entire gambling floor, which, according to opponents of the practice, makes the entire casino floor a smoking area. As previously reported, the establishment of outdoor gambling spaces where smoking is allowed could be a partial solution to the problem. Unfortunately, despite the ongoing discussions between state Legislators, casino officials, and casino employees, there is no wide agreement on what is constituted as an outdoor area.
According to campaigners, actual outdoor areas could be a workable solution as long as casinos guarantee that no worker is exposed to second-hand smoke. There are already some outdoor smoking areas available but they are considered a significant investment for the gambling company to build. Such outdoor areas cost between $10 million and $15 million to be established, which is considered too high of a price tag for the financial capabilities of all casinos in Atlantic City.
Several other ideas, such as cleating indoor smoking areas that were staffed only by employees who agree to work there, have been discussed, with the main objective being the long-standing belief that smoke at casinos should not compromise worker health. According to the president of the local Casino Association, a hasty and reckless ban on indoor smoking could actually hurt the industry, leading to less tax money and fewer jobs in the sector.

We had a semi-productive morning rehearsal for Beauty and the Beast this morning. Whoa.
I went to choir today. I think it’ll be a really great course. We’ll be learning songs in English and Twi, and OH MY GRACIOUS THERE ARE SO MANY GUYS. And they sing beautifully. And many of them are basses. Beautiful basses. Like, there are more men than women. I don’t know how to deal with how excited I am about this. For those of you who don’t know, Goucher usually has to hire tenors and basses for chorus. And they’re all over the place here. And did I mention they sound amazing?
So obviously they don’t have me singing tenor. In fact, I went to sit in the alto section and my voice professor came over to me and asked, “Are you sure you sing alto?” I told him that’s what I generally sing, but that I could sing something else. He told me that I was definitely a soprano and told me to go sit there, further adding to my voice identity crisis. I love my fellow sopranos!
Only problem: In addition to our Wednesday afternoon class, we meet at 7:30am on Fridays. Yuck. Ghanains get up so early. Also, funny thing: I meet with my 3 credit classes about 1-2 hours a week. I meet with my 1 credit classes 3-5 hours a week. Go figure.
Doing something at rehearsal + guys in choir = Grab your towels folks, the end is near.

Juneau bodybuilder Corey Pavitt doesn't want to present himself as a preacher, espousing the gospel of healthy diet and exercise.
But Pavitt can't help being a living testimonial to how daily activity and committing to a healthy lifestyle can pay dividends.
"I don't really want to sound like an evangelist, but it's a wonderful lifestyle in its truest form," Pavitt said of bodybuilding. "It's better to be focused, disciplined and to exercise regularly. Most bodybuilders don't even compete. It's only a minority of them that gets on stage."
Last Saturday Pavitt, 46, captured the master's division bodybuilding championship at the Oregon Ironman Bodybuilders Championships.
A competitive bodybuilder since the 1980s, Pavitt knows what it takes to fine-tune a physique.
"Actually, there are no secrets," Pavitt said. "The only secret is consistently training hard month and month."
He focuses on compound exercises - drills that use different joints simultaneously - during weight training, as opposed to exercises which isolate one particular muscle.
Also, weight training makes up only a small portion of Pavitt's overall regimen. He works out with weights for only 60-to-75 minutes per session. In addition to pumping iron, Pavitt hikes, maintains a careful diet and tries to stay active.
During competition time, he turns up the intensity a little bit more.
"I'm more active, I do more hiking and I'm more careful about my diet," Pavitt said of preparing for a competition. "I feel good and it feels good to be training hard and making improvements."
Pavitt, a Juneau chiropractor, started bodybuilding when he was 16 after being introduced to the sport by his karate instructor.
He captured the light heavyweight title and finished second overall in the 2001 Mr. Alaska competition and bested 18 competitors in Portland last Saturday to earn the master's division title.
"Just the camaraderie was fantastic and everyone was very supportive of each other," Pavitt said of Saturday's competition. "We're all well into our 40s and we we're proud that we're healthy. None of us are all that hung up on who's going to be the top dog."
Pavitt believes bodybuilding is an activity everyone can benefit from. In the sport's purest form, bodybuilding is not about bulging biceps or massive pectoral muscles but about showing off the fruits of hard work and dedication.
"I think it's doable for anybody," Pavitt said. "That's the beauty of bodybuilding. It's about improving yourself and it doesn't matter at what level. Anyone exercising, losing fat and gaining muscle is bodybuilding."

The brightness of red is a nice contrast to black but the trick is not to go too far. Try including some neutral color accessories to tone down the stark black and red colors.

The Science Fiction and Epic Movie category are fascinating in that it has such lots of alternatives.
All the points that people know about science fiction have some thing to do together with the genres that people gravitate towards. It’s incredibly uncomplicated to add your essay writings individual components to produce it your own.
For instance, it is possible to see one of my recent Aerosmith songs titled „Elevator“ as atmosphere definition of Aerosmith. You are able to also add in phrases including laptop or computer science, drug laboratory and human experimentation. But you’ll be able to also make your personal, if you are prepared to invest the time and energy in to the process.
As I mentioned earlier, music does possess a way of evoking physical symptoms of feelings, too as obtaining a range of perceptions. You’ll find feelings that music can evoke in the listener, too as affecting their reactions to feelings that a particular piece of music evokes.
Music has also been made use of for therapy, that is a really excellent instance of your approaches in which music can bring about an atmosphere. Numerous concert goers feel a deep sense of relaxation upon hearing the symphonies of Wagner, Beethoven or Schubert. You may use this idea to create your own personal effects in music, creating them music therapy.
Science and technology will be the next two categories, I am going to look at, both getting closely connected to Earth Sciences. I really should mention, even so, that not all science and technology associated topics are necessarily thought of to be Science Fiction, nor is anything that is certainly done in the realms of science a part of Sci Fi.
It is all concerning the context, which can be exactly where air pollution and how our society is impacted by it really is connected to music. https://buyessay.net/book-report Air pollution along with the effects it has on our environment have become a hot topic of discussion in the public domain. Science Fiction lyrics can even take location on an airplane.
Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence have become hot topics inside the existing marketplace. The effects of their use on society are not totally understood, while you will find some really intriguing theories available. This would make quite an atmosphere definition of Computer system Science.
In essence, music utilizes machine language to communicate with all the listener. As technologies progresses, it’ll take on much more machine language. Nonetheless, today’s science fiction can tie these concepts collectively, making music because the mediator between man and machine.
This kind of science fiction and music science is really a fertile ground for creativity. And all genres of music could make use of this idea, as they’re all tremendously affected by the atmosphere of our planet.
Thomas Pynchon in unique is among the early science fiction writers that wrote extensively about his personal use of music as an atmosphere in his operate. And I am certain that he wouldn’t have it any other way. The photos and feelings he’s able to evoke from these songs are rather effective, that is what tends to make this type of writing a perfect avenue for artists to explore.
Today, it has been linked to climate alter and how it has affected the human race. My preferred song off of my new album is 1 referred to as „Climate Alter.“ That song opens with an air horn that blows in an avalanche then falls into a distinctive variety of soundscape, where the song requires location within an Alpine valley.
This is how I really feel, although climate adjust has been mentioned to possess its roots in politics and economics, my point of view around the topic comes from an inherent adore of music and how it effects the listener. From this point of view, music can offer the atmosphere definition of Climate Change.

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark By Eric Rassbach, Deputy General Counsel for the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty
Ryan Colby 202-349-7219 firstname.lastname@example.org
By Eric Rassbach, Deputy General Counsel for the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty
“To be or not to be?” is a lot tougher question than the one everyone should be asking about Denmark today — “Why did Denmark really ban kosher and halal slaughter?” The answer is sadly quite simple–to discriminate against its Jewish and Muslim citizens. The government claims that it is because it wishes to allow only humane slaughter, but the evidence is at best equivocal. Many countries, including the United States, treat kosher and halal slaughter as definitionally humane methods of slaughter.
By contrast, bans on kosher and halal slaughter are closely linked to antisemitism. Indeed, as we pointed out in a friend-of-the-court brief in New Zealand several years ago, bans on kosher slaughter were typical of the interwar period when antisemitism was on the rise in Europe. The main difference now is that bans on ritual slaughter are now directed at not just Jews, but Muslims also. Like attempted bans on circumcision in Europe, the motivation is to target religious minorities by attacking their millennia-old religious practices as inhumane. Something rotten indeed.

The Literary Issue
A cursory glance at this issue’s stories seems to yield a disturbing thread. In fact when we were curating the story order one of the staff quipped we should subtitle this “The Violence Issue.” We begin with shotguns, and move into hunting, disease, prize fighting, cockfighting, Russian roulette, rape, police abuse, headless dolls, and an alligator with a knife stuck in its head.
Fortunately, readers of literary journals aren’t much into cursory glances. These stories may have their bases in violent acts, but each is in fact a probing exploration of the humanity that persists in the wake of the world’s violence—apart from it, despite it, and far more powerful in the long run.
Read. Think. Enjoy.
Note: As we anticipate a long, Covid-prompted loneliness this fall and winter, we’re breaking with tradition and posting stories and excerpts from all our Issue 5 contributors this time. Stay well.

Gary Moore - Old New Ballads Blues Review
by Morley Seaver
Nobody does white blues any better than Gary Moore, except maybe Clapton. This record proves that point quite succinctly, although it isn't strictly a blues record. There are several ballads on here that are still a bit on the bluesy side, enough that they fit easily into this package.
Moore has got five new songs on this CD along with some reworkings of older cuts. He brings back a new version of "Midnight Blues" which he has covered in the past. He also does a version of "All Your Love" by Otis Rush, a song which reportedly got Moore interested in the blues. He also covers some Willie Dixon and Elmore James songs.
Gary Moore just has one of those voices that is full of emotion and this record is perfect to convey everything he has to pass along. This is a terrific record that will survive a lot of play time.

Interpretive Summary: Book Chapter
Technical Abstract: Hawaii’s diverse and mild climate allows for the cultivation of many crops. The introduction of each crop plant brought along its associated nematode pests. These plant-parasitic nematodes became established and are now endemic to the islands. Plantation agriculture determined the major nematode problems and the approach to nematode control. Large scale production of sugarcane and pineapple meant root-knot, reniform, and burrowing nematodes were the most widely studied plant-parasitic nematodes in the State. When the switch to diversified agriculture occurred, these nematodes persisted in the soil and continued causing yield losses to ornamentals, vegetable, and fruit crops. Burrowing and reniform nematodes have also negatively affected the export market since they are subjected to quarantine restrictions in some U.S. states and foreign countries. Control methods which historically have been chemical nematicides have moved towards more sustainable approaches such as crop rotation, tolerant rootstocks, resistant varieties, and hot water treatment of planting material.

Moms: No shock probation when drunken drivers kill
FRANKFORT, Ky. — Carolyn Scharf was devastated when her “stunningly beautiful” 17-year-old daughter, Anne, a high school senior, was killed by a drunken driver in Seneca Park in Louisville.
But she was outraged when the young woman convicted in the case and sentenced to five years in prison was released after serving barely two months for the 1985 death of her daughter.
“Shock probation let her walk out of the Jefferson County Jail after just 63 days,” Scharf told a legislative committee Thursday.
Scharf and other grieving parents are backing a bill pending in the Kentucky General Assembly to ban shock probation in some cases where drunken drivers kill people. They argue shock probation — which allows a judge to release someone early from prison — is not appropriate in cases where a drunken driver took a life.
Debbie Moskwa, a Michigan woman whose son, Ricky, was killed at age 24 by a drunken driver while driving through Kentucky with his father to visit relatives in Tennessee, called on lawmakers to end the "cruelty of shock probation" in such cases. The driver convicted of causing her son's death was sentenced to 13 years in prison but was released after serving just eight months, she said.

House Bill 222 would ban judges from releasing someone on shock probation if the individual has been convicted of manslaughter or reckless homicide while driving drunk. It also would ban shock probation when a drunken driver causes the death of a fetus.
Scharf, Moskwa and others who have lost loved ones in drunken driving cases have been lobbying unsuccessfully for such a law for the past decade.
"Our loss is a lifetime sentence," Scharf said at Thursday's hearing. "There is no shock probation for us."
This year, they hope the bill might finally become law after it cleared another hurdle Thursday, passing the Senate Judiciary Committee after winning unanimous approval in the House Monday. It now goes to the Senate, where the supporters hope it will win final passage and be signed into law.
But the bill encountered resistance from some lawmakers at the hearing who said they are likely to question the measure when it comes before the Senate and may vote against it. Similar questions have hindered previous efforts to pass such a law.
Several committee members on Thursday worried such a law would take away power from the judge.
"I hate to take away discretion of a duly elected judge who is familiar with the facts of that case," said Sen, Robin Webb, a lawyer and Democrat from Grayson, one of two lawmakers to vote against the bill.
Sen. Danny Carroll, a Republican and former police detective from Paducah, said he has reservations in such cases where a drunken driver caused the death of another person in the car, such as a relative, who had chosen to ride with an impaired driver.

And Rebecca Ballard Diloreto, representing the Kentucky Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, argued that the General Assembly included shock probation in the law as an option for judges, and it should not be changed.
But Rep. Robert Benvenuti, the sponsor of HB 222, said Kentucky law already forbids shock probation for about a dozen other serious crimes, and there's no reason not to add a death caused by a drunken driver to that list.
Benvenuti, a Lexington Republican, said families too often are stunned by the early release of a person they assumed would serve a full prison term.
"We're going to end the idea of shock probation in these cases," he said.

Scharf said she was aware shock probation was a possibility in the case of the driver who caused her daughter's death but never dreamed it would happen in just two months.
Moskwa said she's been traveling to Kentucky for the past 10 years to lobby for various versions of bills to limit shock probation in drunken driving cases that cause a death.
"For 10 years, we've worked for this," Moskwa said. "It's time. All we ask is that they serve the sentence they were sentenced to."

DURHAM, N.H.-- A University of New Hampshire professor’s research into hospital bed technology could soon represent a giant leap forward in patient care.
John LaCourse, professor and chair of UNH’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, is currently negotiating with hospital bed manufacturers to adopt his programmed algorithm technology, which could become the basis for “smart” computerized hospital beds.
As LaCourse explains, these smart hospital beds would communicate with and respond to medical devices that monitor a patient’s condition. “Perhaps a sleeping patient moves, causing a drop in blood pressure. The blood pressure monitor would communicate this change to the bed and the bed, in turn, would move up or down until the patients’ blood pressure is stabilized,” he says.
Conversely, the bed would analyze faulty readings interfering with patient care. “Someone sits on the edge of the hospital bed and it appears that the patient’s blood pressure has fallen,” says LaCourse. “The bed would send a signal to the monitor not to be alarmed – the reading is due to the visitor’s presence and not because the patient’s condition has deteriorated.”
Post-surgical needs may also be met with this technology. “Procedures such as retinal surgery require exact blood pressure levels as part of the healing process,” says LaCourse. “A smart hospital bed would periodically adjust itself to maintain these levels for patients.”
Even quality-of-life conditions such as bed sores could be addressed. “Instead of requiring hospital staff to move the patient, monitors could send signals to the bed to roll the patient to his left or right to avoid bed sores,” says LaCourse.
Ongoing research by Jonathan Waters, a 2006 UNH graduate currently finishing UNH’s masters of science degree program in electrical engineering, may add a home care dimension to this project. For his master’s thesis, Waters is seeking to adapt the smart hospital bed technology to treat sleep apnea, a condition which causes sufferers to periodically stop breathing while sleeping.
“Microprocessors installed into the bed measuring respiration patterns will sense when breathing has ceased, as well as move the bed in such a way that the individual resumes breathing,” he explains. Waters has since been recruited by IXXAT, corporate sponsor of the sleep apnea initiative, to complete his research.
The ultimate success of LaCourse’s project, which also features contributions by graduate and undergraduate students, rests with incorporating a plug-and-play component to his technology. plug-and-play means that medical devices – everything from blood pressure monitors to breathing machines – “share a common technology so they can, in effect, talk to each other and share patient information which greatly reduces care errors,” explains LaCourse.
To realize plug-and-play capability, however, LaCourse’s technology must become the industry standard for hospital bed manufacturers. In this way, medical devices could seamlessly connect to and exchange patient data with smart hospital beds.
LaCourse is making significant progress in his quest. “We’ve had discussions with two major bed manufacturers – Stryker and Hilrom – and both were receptive to our protocols,” says the UNH researcher. He is hopeful that, within two to three years, his technology may be accepted by most if not all hospital bed companies.
This is a short time frame within the larger world of technology licensing, according to Maria Emanuel, licensing manager of UNH’s Office of Research Partnerships and Commercialization.
“The research and licensing process takes years to complete,” says Emanuel, whose office seeks patents and other legal protections for UNH research that have practical applications. “So, two to three years for Dr. LaCourse’s technology to come on line means that his project is moving along fairly quickly.”
Emanuel sees great potential – both for UNH and the general public – in the smart hospital bed technology. “His project is representative of the research being done at UNH,” she says. “That is, laboratory work which is very meaningful for society. Dr. LaCourse’s efforts could lead to significant improvements in patient care.”
For LaCourse, his technology is part of a larger scheme of innovation. “I am always looking for what else is out there – how can I take a product idea, build it, and create something that helps humanity.”
The University of New Hampshire, founded in 1866, is a world-class public research university with the feel of a New England liberal arts college. A land, sea, and space-grant university, UNH is the state's flagship public institution, enrolling 12,200 undergraduate and 2,300 graduate students.

Everyone knows Charlamagne Tha God is a very outspoken, opinionated radio personality, which switches enemy sides very easily. Ex. Blast Nicki Minaj and sides with Lil Kim, then sides with Nicki and blast Kim.
Recently, while in LA for the BET Awards
show, it appears that Chalamagne and Busta Rhymes
had some beef. The two almost came to blows according to VladTV
. More details below……………….
“Veteran rapper Busta Rhymes and Power 105.1 DJ Charlamagne Tha God got into a heated exchange at the Melanie Fiona party in Los Angeles last night.
According to Vlad.com
, the exchange was over negative comments that Wendy Williams said about Busta Rhymes years ago — before Charlamagne began his tenure as Wendy’s sidekick. Yeah, I’m not understanding that one either. This evening, I reached out to Charlamagne to weigh in on what partygoers witnessed last night:
“Arguing. Acting like we wanted to do something to each other but neither of us made a move. That’s why I don’t talk to niggas after 5PM.
