Contacts are common and important phenomena in engineering. The resolution of contact-impact problems, once computationally difficult, has been made easier and more accurate with the finite element method. This book deals with finite element procedures for solutions to both static and dynamic contact-impact problems. It provides comprehensive discussions on the formulation, linearization and discretization of these problems. Lagrangian formulation is introduced and explicit and implicit solutions are presented. Friction phenomena and the behaviour of shell structures upon impact are described. Numerical algorithms are implemented in computer programs to simulate industrial applications such as metal-forming processes and crashworthiness analysis of automobiles. This book should be of value to engineers, researchers and students in solid and applied mechanics interested in contact-impact problems.

"Not knowing who I am is like being locked behind a closed door. My adoptive parents understood my obsession to open the door and get to the other side. They encouraged my acting. Instinctively, they knew that it helped me to pretend to be different people." (Print of the Globe Theatre in London from a print by Hollar-Wenceslaus, 1647, @Vcitoria and Albert Museum, London)
Pirating Slavery, my novel about buccaneers liberating slave ships, will be published in 16 installments twice a week for four months. The fifth chapter appears here:
Books, published as installments, make the story more manageable while heightening the experience of reading. The book becomes a companion and a commentary on your day-to-day life as you read it over the course of a few months.
Between chapters, readers have the time to share , talk and speculate about the book.
Book serials first appeared in 1836, when a French newspaper published Honore de Balzac. At the same time, in England, Charles Dickens published The Pickwick Papers and ignited a trend.

Consumer confidence improved in April to levels not seen for more than a year.
Confidence in the general economic situation over the next 12 months reached an index level of -15, which was a 16-point improvement on the previous month and the strongest showing since August 2007 research carried out by GfK NOP for the European Commission showed.
Consumers were also more confident about their own personal finances over the next year and the overall index of confidence improved by three points month-on-month in April to stand at -27.
GfK NOP consumer confidence team member Rachael Joy noted the April index total was still “historically low” but said: “Significantly, this is now the third consecutive month that we have seen a rise in index – suggesting a definite upward trend – and that’s largely driven by the public’s perception that the next 12 months will be better.
“This could be down to a simple belief that things are improving, as well as the feel-good factor of improving weather following the Easter bank holiday.
“It is worth noting that fieldwork this month was carried out before the Budget announcement, so we’re interested to see how next month’s results are affected by that.”
The findings came as Marks & Spencer boss Sir Stuart Rose said there are signs of economic stability.
Yesterday, Rose told the Institute of Directors’ annual convention it was too early to talk about “green shoots” but observed: “Since Christmas I think generally we’ve seen a bit more stability coming through into the markets, which is obviously very helpful.”
He believed there were signs of improving consumer confidence and said: “The fact of the matter is that people are fed up with being fed up.”

SkyTower at Pinnacle One Yonge
Residence Landmark 01
1 Yonge St, Toronto, ON M5E 2A3, Canada
Imagine: Where the tallest residential tower in Canada meets the longest street in the world. Where the arts, culture, and entertainment possibilities of Downtown Toronto meet the recreational activities of Lake Ontario. Where the convenience of urban living meets the pinnacle of luxury. This is SkyTower at Pinnacle One Yonge, the skyline-redefining skyscraper designed by Hariri Pontarini Architects and imagined as a new icon for Toronto’s redeveloped waterfront. This is an opportunity to work and live in one of the most exciting and energetic communities in one of the most diverse and dynamic cities.
- Landmark 01 - 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom
- 1350 interior square feet
- Laminate flooring
- Glass sliding doors
- Sleek kitchen cabinetry with custom designed pull out pantry, as per plan, for convenient storage
Topping out at more than 1,028 feet, the appropriately named SkyTower is not only the tallest of a trio of sparkling skyscrapers in Pinnacle One Yonge; it is also the tallest residential tower in all of Canada. Its supertall status is not just a feat of engineering requiring special measures to accommodate the wind pressure but also an architectural balancing act. “It’s a real privilege to design a building this tall and you don’t want it to look awful,” explains David Pontarini, founder partner at Hariri Pontarini Architects.
This soaring skyscraper will be home to 800 residences, ranging in size from 520 square feet to 2,300 square feet and encompassing a number of ultraluxury collections, including the Sky Villa collection, the Vista collection, and the Landmark collection. It’s all about the views here, and they are nothing short of spectacular, but interiors by Tanner Hill and Associates also shine. Expect sleek kitchens, spa-like bathrooms, and thoughtful touches throughout.
On its own, SkyTower is home to the highest level of luxury hotel amenities, from the sophisticated lobby to the light-filled spin studio. Combined with its sister towers at Pinnacle One Yonge, SkyTower shares 80,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities, a 50,000-square-foot community center, and 160,000 square feet of retail space—all connected by glass atriums and pedestrian walkways. And then, of course, there’s the location, with easy access to both lake life and the cultural icons of Downtown Toronto.

“This is a time when we have many opportunities and probably time as well at our end,” he said.
The US Senate passing $2 trillion virus relief bill that lifted investor sentiment in Indian equity markets. Both the benchmark indices extended gains on March 26 in the morning. Moreover, experts also expect domestic stimulus to be announced soon.
Taher Badshah, CIO-Equities, Invesco Mutual Fund said, it is always debatable and difficult to say whether we have found the bottom.
"What is happening here is that clearly the circumstances, which are required for value buying to be undertaken or to be able to find opportunities or to be able to seek value are clearly materializing. However, should one act immediately or in a staggered manner is something which is debatable. It is all dependable on individual’s risk appetite."
So the big question - Is it probably the best time to invest? Perhaps not but clearly among the better times to invest, said Badshah.
“What is significant or what is clearly similar across all these periods is investor psychology and that doesn’t seem to change. For us, drawing from even the most recent learnings around the market turbulence of either demonetization times or IL&FS days is that these are the times when you get an opportunity to rebalance your portfolios,” he added.
“This is a time when we are spoiled for choice, we have got lot many opportunities in a market and probably time as well at our end,” said Badshah.
Speaking about the impact of coronavirus pandemic, he said: "The number one priority across the world is about controlling the pandemic more than anything else. There are certain countries, which are doing lot more even in areas of monetary and fiscal stimuli, which we have not been able to do. So I think it is a good time to buy, it may not necessarily be the best time to buy. There will be a lot more healthcare awareness as we go along but our focus still continues to remain on some of the entities, which have a lot more to do with healthcare than pharmaceuticals. We have a preference for only a limited set of companies in the pharmaceutical space at this stage. Maximum damage has happened in the financial space. The challenges are still there. There is a genuine concern about the market, about the impact of the slowdown as a result of the lockdown," Badshah said.
"So, we need some more action from the authorities, from the government to be able to assure that the banking system is relatively safe. Until we see some more high conviction government action and expected stimulus, I think banking sector is probably also going to find it difficult to participate strongly in the recovery. "Consumer discretionaries, industrials, little bit of pharmaceuticals, technology might perhaps be slightly better-off under these circumstances," he added.Source: CNBC-TV18

McMaster: Trump ‘will use whatever language he wants to use’ with North Korea
White House national security adviser H.R. McMaster hinted Thursday that the president is unlikely to tone down his rhetoric toward North Korea on his upcoming trip to Asia, insisting that it is North Korea’s behavior, not Donald Trump’s heated words for Kim Jong Un, that have inflamed tensions.
“I don’t think the president really modulates his language. Have you noticed him do that? I mean, he’s been very clear about it,” McMaster said Thursday at the White House press briefing. “I’ve been aware of the discussions about, ‘hey, is this inflammatory?’ And what’s inflammatory is the North Korean regime and what they’re doing to threaten the world.”
Trump’s willingness to colorfully threaten North Korea has sharply departed from the strategy adopted by his predecessors from both parties, who sought mostly to isolate the Kim regime with sanctions and shrug off its frequent threats of nuclear war against the U.S.
Trump, by comparison, has responded to North Korean ballistic missiles tests by threatening the repressive communist state with “fire and fury like the world has never seen.”
The president’s willingness to engage in the type of threat typically employed by the Kim regime has prompted criticism from some that he has only heightened tensions on the Korean Peninsula, but McMaster said Thursday the president’s clear declarations of U.S. resolve has only strengthened the nation’s position relative to North Korea.
“The president will use whatever language he wants to use obviously and what the president has done is clarified in all of his discussions, his statements on North Korea our determination to ensure that North Korea is unable to threaten our allies and our partners and certainly the United States,” McMaster said. “I think there would be a grave danger if that regime didn’t understand our resolve, the president’s resolve to counter North Korean aggression. And the president’s made it very clear.”

DALLAS – A Dallas jury has awarded $8.8 million to the plaintiffs in an asbestos case against Bell Helicopter, agreeing with the plaintiffs that the decedent’s former employer should have provided respiratory protection that would have prevented the inhalation of asbestos fibers.
The Texas 95th District Court in Dallas reached the verdict on March 27 after a week-long trial and five hours of deliberations, sources told HarrisMartin.

You might have noticed a Marvel film listed as part of the box office this summer, and, perhaps, every summer before that.
Superhero-themed films, and their corresponding prequel, sequel and sequel to the sequel, have become more prevalent through the years. But are these movies actually worth the $10 movie ticket?
Many people cite “Spiderman” (2002) as the first blockbuster superhero movie to gross $100 million in its opening weekend, ergo the fastest to bust the blocks.
I remember being five and dragging my parents to see it. The movie was great and set the right tone and standard for the future genre.
Unfortunately, Spiderman also started the tradition of stretching the characters too thin over an excessive amount of sequels.
The problem with sequels to movies in superhero franchises is that plot lines are often simplified and similar across the genre. These films are not engaging plot-wise, yet they continue to see a large amount of revenue.
We’ve seen movies like “The Phantom Menace” (1999) and “The Fast and the Furious” (2001) contribute to weak characterization. Both movies grabbed an audience’s attention with explosions, choreographed action stunts and likable characters without interesting narratives.
Production companies realized that they had discovered a formula; they didn’t need to create with new narratives or characters each time they wanted to see $100 million from the box office.
It seems like this dominant movie genre, in terms of gross profits, is set on cruise control, thanks to the Walt Disney Company.
Disney bought Marvel Entertainment for $4 billion on Aug. 31, 2009, according to an article in the LA Times. The first Marvel movie made after this acquisition was “Iron Man 2” (2010).
Out of the 20 highest-grossing movies of the 20th century listed by Collider, five of them are superhero sequels, including “The Dark Night” (2008), the sequel the “Batman Begins” (2005). “The Dark Night” ranks at No. 1 in this list.
To that end, “Spiderman 3” (2006) ranks at No. 46 on the worldwide box office, and “Furious 7” (2015) ranks at No. 6, according to Box Office Mojo. These aren’t even sequels – they are sequels to sequels, and let’s be honest, no one really even liked “Spiderman 3.”
Is this a coincidence?
Since “Iron Man” (2008), Marvel has made $12.65 billion (not including the Amazing Spiderman franchise), according to Colllider.
Companies like Disney are perpetuating the sequel movement. Since Disney bought Lucasfilm in 2012, there have been two Star Wars sequels – one of which was actually an in-between story and the first Star Wars movie to not be called “episode” or center around the Skywalker family.
Do we really need a whopping 13 movies, to date, about the four main Avenger superheroes? Why does each character need three movies of their own?
We are wasting our time with overhyped sequels with the same general plots and CGI mayhem. Comic book movies can be done well, but they can easily be done to death.
Once the first movie is over and you have the initial arch of how this person became a superhero, the hero easily becomes bland in a plot that is endlessly repetitive.

The role of newsrooms across the world has rarely been more critical as they help people make sense of the coronavirus pandemic, said Mr Warren Fernandez, editor-in-chief of Singapore Press Holdings' English/ Malay/Tamil Media Group and chairman of the Asia News Network.
This comes even as the crisis poses challenges to the media industry, as news organisations struggle to stay afloat amid the economic impact of the pandemic, he added.
Mr Fernandez, who is also editor of The Straits Times, was replying to a question on how newsrooms have coped with the challenges posed by Covid-19 during the World Economic Forum and World Health Organisation joint briefing on the Covid-19 response in the Asia-Pacific yesterday.
"These are very bewildering times for all our readers, and we find that the effort to help them join the dots and see where things are going is something that is especially valued at this time," he said.
To this end, journalists and editors have taken a step back to not just report on the news, which is coming at a relentless pace, but also analyse, interpret and explain it, he added.
At The Straits Times, for instance, the askST column, an interactive platform for readers to send in their questions, has received thousands of questions.
Journalists have sought answers from experts and also convened panel discussions to discuss the issues of interest to readers.
Mr Fernandez said these efforts have been well received, and audiences for these columns and discussions are two or three times more than what the newspaper usually sees.
Subscriptions for the newspaper are also up, even though all stories about the coronavirus are outside the paywall on The Straits Times website.
"There is hunger for information and people are trying to make sense of where this is all going," said Mr Fernandez.
"Ironically even though audiences are going up, revenues have taken a beating," he said.
He added that The Straits Times is still relatively robust and will be able to weather the storm.
To help each other and also help readers make sense of the fast-developing situation, partners in the Asia News Network and the World Editors Forum have also been collaborating more, sharing information and leads among science correspondents, for instance.
The editors at the World Editors Forum are also looking at ways to secure the future of public service information.
Said Mr Fernandez: "We feel that without good, credible, reliable information, the kind of debates and discussion we're having today - reasoned and rational debate on what to do with the pandemic and how to take ourselves forward - won't be possible.
"It's not an issue just for journalists or editors, it's a societal issue."
Another role the media plays is encouraging discussion that is evidence-based, he said.
Asked whether media coverage has had an impact on how different countries promoted the use of masks, Mr Fernandez said that he did not think so.
He said the experience of East Asian countries with the severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars) in 2003 probably shaped attitudes towards wearing masks.
Singapore, meanwhile, had started out responding to the coronavirus with Sars in mind, but later felt it was more similar to H1N1 influenza.
And when more information emerged, and more became known about asymptomatic cases, Singapore's position on masks also changed, he added.
"I was glad that the politicians had the courage to make a change on the position as the evidence changed, rather than digging their heels in...
"I think that's the way the media ought to encourage the discussion going forward, so that it is evidence-based and scientifically sound and not just based on political rhetoric," he said.

DETROIT—General Motors Co. took its biggest step yet to escape the shadow of bankruptcy and a government bailout, saying it would spend $5.5 billion to buy a chunk of its stock held by the U.S. Treasury, which now plans to unwind itself from the auto maker within the next year or so.
The agreement moves the federal government's bailout of U.S. auto makers into its final chapter and comes as the Obama administration works to wind down financial-crisis era programs—with mixed results.

Readymix Concrete Generally Consists Of:
Portland cement is made from a mixture of finely ground limestone or chalk, clay and sand, which is heated almost to melting point (around 1,450oC) in a large rotating kiln. The cement clinker that emerges is then ground to a powder with a small quantity of gypsum, added to control the setting time of the end product.
Just as the Romans found the benefits of adding volcanic ash to their cement, so the properties of modern cement can be modified and enhanced by blending Portland cement with other cementitious materials. The most widely used of these are fly ash - one of the residues from burning coal - and slag, which is the waste from steelworks.
Blends incorporating fly ash are designated CEM II cements, while those using slag are known as CEM III. As slag and fly ash are by-products of other industries they are a recycled ingredient, which makes blended cement an environmentally friendly product reducing carbon footprint by up to a half.
Based on international research and agreed standards, Readymix uses the appropriate form of cement for each type of mix. This means that not only will you be supplied with the right concrete mix for each application, the concrete will also have good ‘workability’.
Aggregate and sand
The coarse aggregate used in concrete is of a prescribed size - typically 5-20 mm. It is extracted from quarries and from offshore reserves in a sustainable manner. Where practical, recycled concrete may be used as a replacement for primary, quarried aggregate.
A relatively coarse type of sand known as sharp sand is usually used to make concrete. Sharp sand typically has grains in the size 63 micron - 5 mm.
The dangers of adding too much water to concrete are well known. Excess water weakens the finished concrete and therefore the proportion of water to solids in Readymix concrete is always tightly controlled. It can be tempting to increase the amount of water to make the concrete ‘flow’ and find its own level but there are much better ways of achieving this, such as by using a free-flowing and self-levelling concrete designed specially for foundations.
A variety of admixtures are used in concrete to improve handling characteristics and the strength of the concrete when set. For example, a plasticiser may be added to improve workability, reduce water to improve strength and enhance durability.

The Minister of Security, Gen. Elly Tumwine has asked that he is furnished with all the evidence gathered by the Parliamentary committee probing into recent allegations against him, so he can respond from an informed point of view.
The General who also represents the UPDF in Parliament was recently committed to the Committee of Rules, Privileges and Discipline for thorough investigations into allegations of holding in contempt the Parliament and person of the Speaker.
This followed a matter of national importance raised by Bukonjo West MP, Godfrey Atkins Katusabe on the shoot to kill orders that were allegedly issued to military and police which resulted in the shutdown of Milamwa Abattoir in the area.
Katusabe told the House last week that when he brought the matter to the attention of the Minister of Security in his office, he got a response that to him (Katusabe) was an attack on the institution of Parliament.
“Gen Tumwine responded that ‘Who is the Speaker? Who is she? What is Parliament? The Speaker rules over Parliament, she does not rule over Uganda, this country was liberated by the military and not her Parliament. Do not tell me about your Parliament, the army can not be directed by civiliansâ€™,” Atkins told Parliament.
“This is critical because the future and stability of the country is under attack given such utterances which are a direct attack on the constitution of Uganda,” Katusabe added.
On concluding his submission, a motion was moved by Busiro East MP, Medard Segona, to have Gen Tumwine appear before the committee on Rules for an investigation to be undertaken and a report given to the House.
The General also faces allegations by Dokolo Woman MP, Cecilia Ogwal, that he (Tumwine) threatened her and pulled a pistol at her.
When Gen Tumwine appeared before the committee on Thursday, he asked that the accuser (Katusabe) avails proof that he (Tumwine) made the said statements.
“You see, the facts of each allegation if you trace the whole process of how it started, a lot has been said in the House and in the public,” the Minister said.
“On the aspect of Katusabeâ€™s allegations, first, I need to get all the facts which caused all this. I need time, I would want us to that have all the facts that have been put on the floor. I want all that was said and even said here, so that I can respond”.
He told the committee that he has already retrieved the record as captured in the Hansard of Parliament.
Tumwine as well elaborated that there must be a purpose for the ongoing probe.
“Before you do anything, you must ask ‘What is the purpose?â€™ Where did it come from, where has it reached now, where we want to take it and how we shall take it there,” he said to the committee.
“We must have what we want to have from this inquiry. I have listened to the terms of reference which you have read to me, and I now know. I cannot go straight to those detailed facts. Let the one who has alleged first give all the facts”.
He says that if Katusabe indeed alleges that Tumwine made the utterances that were revealed to the House, “it is up to him, let him prove what I said”.
In his comment, Chairperson of the committee, Ongalo Obote said: “The facts before us are straight forward. These are instances of occurrence in which the accusers (Cecilia Ogwal and Atkins Katusabe) are on one side and you are on the other side”.
“All that the committee wants from you is your version of what happened on that day when he came and you had those 3 hours with him. What he says you said, is it true or not. We canâ€™t establish more facts beyond what we have”.
However, Butambala county MP, Muwanga Kivumbi backed the Minister, asking that the record of the committee be availed to him if that will help him give a more adequate response to the allegations against him.
Bugweri county MP, Abdu Katuntu too said the General is entitled to the evidence given by Katusabe before the committee. Failure to provide this evidence, Katuntu said, could give Tumwine grounds of claiming he was not aware of the allegations.
In his submission, Theodore Sekikubo, the MP for Lwemiyaga county also supported the witness for evidence to be availed.
“I request Chair that you allow your Secretariat to have that evidence adduced yesterday and give it to him. It serves no harm. We may give him a limited time so that we reconvene tomorrow”.
He however said that whereas the General fought for restoration of peace, he should not hold the the same freedom he fought for hostage.
The committee Chairperson ruled that the defendant (Tumwine) reappears before the committee on Friday at 11am to make a response.

When fantasy writers think of axes as a weapon, they usually assume that a fighting axe is much the same as an axe for cutting wood. They assume that a fighting axe is heavy, clumsy, and is used for chopping strokes. It is a weapon for the working class, like a scythe and billing hook, with none of the glamour of a sword. However, thanks to an article on Quora and the opinion of some historical re-enacters, I recently discovered that none of these assumptions are true.
Admittedly, re-enacters report that an axe in unskilled hands is not much of a weapon. To wield an axe well requires strength and practice. But the same can be said of a sword. To use a sword requires more than thrusting the point towards your opponent, and to use an axe require more than chopping with all your strength. The only difference is that a novice sword-user might survive reasonably well in a shield-wall, while a novice axe-user is apt to leave themselves exposed and end up wounded or killed.
The most effective axe for combat is usually called a Dane axe. “Dane” in this case is a generic name for all Norse, who were as likely to use this weapon as a sword. A Dane axe was usually a one-handed weapon, with a wooden shaft about a meter long, and weighing about 1.5 kilograms, depending on the user. These are also the average dimensions of a sword, although longer, two-handed Dane axes also existed. The blade was an uneven crescent, with the top horn longer, and the bottom horn more of a hook. Many people assume that a Dane axe would be top-heavy in order to deliver a crushing blow, but the technical descriptions all emphasize the lightness of the blade, as well as its thinness, which could be as little as 2 millimeters of high grade steel. In other words, a Dane axe is balanced, just like a sword. When I think, that is only sensible. A blade-heavy axe might deliver a stronger chop, but would be harder to pull back, and would expose the user longer. Much better to be satisfied with less force and increase your chances of survival.
More importantly, this construction indicates that a Dane axe was not used just for chopping, or even primarily for that purpose. In fact, the design was much versatile. Besides chopping, the user of a Dane axe could thrust with the upper horn, transforming the axe into a short spear and allowing the user to inflict damage at a bit of a distance, especially if the axe was two-handed. In addition, the lower horn could be used to hook a blade or shield, allowing the wielder to block, or else thrust the enemy’s weapons aside, then to attack with the upper horn. The Dane axe actually offers multiple attacks in one, just as a sword’s tip or edge does. Once that is understood, it becomes obvious that a Dane axe was not a clumsy weapon, but one that required considerable skill.
The construction also refutes the idea that a Dane axe was a peasant’s weapon. The thinness of the blade and its shape suggests that the Dane axe required a skilled smith to make. It was not a farming implement that could be carried by a poor man marching off to war. Moreover, it was carried by the elite housecarls of Anglo-Saxon England, as well as by the Varangian Guards that protected the Byzantine Emperor. Later versions of the Dane axe were considered a knightly weapon, just as a sword was, and are known to have used at times by both Kings Stephen and Richard I. As well, during the Viking era, Dane axes with elaborate silver inlays were made, likely for ceremonial purposes. The common argument that swords were the weapons of the nobility simply does not hold up.
Besides, although a first-rate sword, in which various metals were twisted and folded over each other, took time to make and could be fabulously expensive, not all swords were so elaborate. Probably the majority of swords in the Dark and Medieval Ages were cheaper works, produced by local smiths. There is also evidence for swords cut in one piece, like the average kitchen knife, a form of mass-production probably inspired by the suppliers to the Roman legions.
If swords have more prestige than battle-axes in the modern imagination, the reason is probably that ceremonial swords were worn in Europe by nobility and army officers long after they were obsolete. In fact, they are still worn today. Nor have axes been favored in romance and fiction. There is no battle axe equivalent to The Three Musketeers or The Princess Bride. And along with romance of swords has come a denigration of the battle axe — as well as a deep-seated ignorance of how versatile they could actually be.

Can Sex Offenders Legally Live Next Door To Schools?
OLIVEHURST (CBS13) - An Olivehurst Grandmother is furious after learning that a sex offender is living just feet away from her neighborhood elementary school.
"I'm concerned about people not being aware of the sex offenders in the area," said Robyn Gorham.
Gorham says she was stunned to find out how many sex offenders lived just down the street from Cedar Lane Elementary, where her grandson is set to attend.
"There are parents here and I don't think they're aware of what's right in our neighborhood," said Gorham.
A quick search on the Megan's Law website shows there are 11 sex offenders living within 3/4 of a mile from the school. Gorham is particularly concerned about one offender convicted of lewd acts with a child 14 or 15 years old, whose home is registered just feet away from the school's fence.

"The fence is in between the driveway and where the kids are playing, so anybody can say 'hi' and put their hand through the fence," she said.
Gorham adds, "I always thought it was a law that they couldn't register their address so close to the school?"
So is there a blanket law that keeps all sex offenders at a certain distance away from a school?
"There is no general, applicable law -- Jessica's Law or Megan's Law -- in California that applies to every sex offender in California the same way," said Sacramento criminal attorney Mark Reichel.
Reichel says because there are varying degrees of sex offenders, each offender's restrictions are decided on a case-by-case basis, and solely by their parole or probation officer.
"A sex offender can't live by a school if the parole officer determines they cannot. Those officers can impose all kinds of restrictions, whether they can have contact with children, stay away from children, and how far away," said Reichel.
ALSO: Tuolumne County Sex Offender Arrested For Living With Toddler
But in this case in question, the offender was convicted in 2010 and is no longer under parole. Reichel says the offender is not breaking any laws.
"If they're no longer on probation or parole, they're just a 290 registrant, there's really no way a city can prevent them from residing in an area as long as they're abiding by the law," he said.
Reichel says while schools have to protect children;, they have no control of where sex offenders live. He suggests parents take advantage of online resources and use the Megan's Law website to be educated on who lives around them.

Dodgers' Cody Bellinger: Unbelievable August continues
Bellinger went deep yet again Saturday, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances in addition to hitting his 34th home run of the season against the Padres.
It is crazy to think that the sensational rookie could do anything more impressive than he already has this season, but with six homers in just 11 August contests, Bellinger is on pace to break his own personal best of 13 long balls in a month that he set back in June. The 22-year-old could move back to left field once Adrian Gonzalez (back) returns from the disabled list as soon as next Friday -- as reported by Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times -- but the defensive change didn't slow him down last time, and it is unlikely to affect his breakout season in any way this time around.

Sixty days untill Obama takes the oath of Office to become the 44th President of the USA. On November 4 , 2008, the day Obama was elected the Dow Jones Industrials closed up at 9625 and the NASDAQ closed at 1780. In just a little over two weeks the markets have fallen over 22%, yesterday the Dow dropped 445 points to 7553. That low has not been seen since October 2002. Six years worth of gains disappeared and so has Obama.
Where is the change? Where is Obama? It is strange that the ever present during the campagn Obama is now silent during this freefall in the market.
"This is one for the ages - it has broken all the rules," exclaims Gary Kaltbaum, president of Kaltbaum and Associates, who has warned of carnage for months in the markets. But where is Obama? You see Obama wants the markets to collapse, this is the only reason for his silence. Throughout history many extreme and socialistic agendas were birthed from economic disasters, and Obama needs a financial meltdown to impose his government will on the people.
Obama will speak when the time is right, afterall this is the final verdict on the failed Free Market System we know as capitalism.
The day is coming when Mr. Obama will arrive on the scene on a white horse with the backing of the full faith and credit of the government to save the day.

This is not an encyclopedia, a textbook, or "music for kids. This is a guide for those who want to listen to music the way we read books: following the story, learning new things, empathizing. It is mostly about what is called "classical" music, which is what the listener usually needs to find the "keys" to. But the concept of "classical" has no clear boundaries, so with this book you can listen to any "smart" music - meaningful, deep, unusual - whether it be jazz, electronics, rock or folk. You'll read this book easily if you already have a little listening experience and an interest in music. Generally speaking, that's enough. Being able to play an instrument, knowing the notes, and loving to sing is useful for a competent listener, of course - but it's not absolutely necessary. I think it would be interesting for you to read this book with your parents, or to tell them what you have learned. Often even adults don't know or have forgotten about many of the things we will touch on. Simple rules The idea of listening to music according to the rules seems a little ridiculous: after all, it is such a natural, organic, intuitive thing to do! Should listening to music or mp3 download become an exercise that has to be done by making sure it's done correctly, like in the gym? Of course not. Music that finds its way to you, that grips you and opens up to you without effort should be experienced as something spontaneous and magical - bypassing reason and analysis. But it is only a tiny part of the music that we are used to hearing: only the music we are used to, the closest and most accessible. "Intuitive" music, which does not require skill to listen to, is not even the tip of the iceberg, but the snowball at its tip. Underneath it are terabytes of audio information, which still requires a navigator to comprehend. Just imagine how much beauty we are deprived of by reducing musical art to something that must somehow delight us by itself, without any steps on our part!7/10/2021
It may sound funny, but lots of people, when they go to a concert, say they went "to see John" or, worse still, "to see a violin. Imagine that you are reading a book without knowing the title, the author, the time it belongs to or the language in which it was originally written. Or that you go to an exhibition and look at pictures for a long time, not knowing who, when, in what country and under what circumstances they were painted. You'll be much more interesting to listen to if you understand the structure of the piece and remember who it was composed by. Look at a photograph or portrait of the composer and find out when he lived and his place in musical history. Sometimes this information is given in the program,booklet or in Youtube converted mp3, but it is very easy to find out on your own. I don't think anyone would want to waste their time that way! Don't let this happen, if you find yourself at a concert. Be sure to clarify what is being performed, in what order, how many parts it consists of, and when it begins and ends.

Are you dealing with joint pain on a daily basis? If so, then it may be tempting to start using joint pain gel regularly. Joint pain gels can provide temporary relief from the discomfort of your joints and help reduce inflammation. However, there are potential risks associated with regular use that need to be considered before making this decision. In this article, we’ll explore both the benefits and risks of using joint pain gel every day in order to help you make an informed decision based on your individual needs.

What Is Joint Pain Gel?
The sharp, sudden pain that accompanies joint discomfort can be daunting. It’s like a stab of fire through your body; an unrelenting reminder that you need help to make it go away. But fear not – there is relief in the form of joint pain gel.
Joint pain gel offers a safe and effective way to reduce discomfort from arthritis treatments or other causes of joint inflammation. This type of topical medication uses natural ingredients such as menthol and capsaicin to provide fast-acting relief for those suffering from soreness, swelling, and tenderness around their joints. When applied directly to the skin, it helps relax muscles and soothe aches associated with exercise or daily activities.
This easy-to-use product has been proven to offer long-term relief from minor pains and stiffness without any serious side effects. With regular use, it can even improve mobility by reducing inflammation caused by overworked joints due to exercise or everyday living. So if you want to keep feeling your best while enjoying all the benefits life has to offer, try using joint pain gel today!
Pros Of Everyday Use
Joint pain gel can be an effective way to manage joint pain, providing both acute and long-term relief. As with any type of medication or supplement, there are pros and cons associated with using it every day. Here is a look at the benefits that come from daily use:
Quick Relief - Using joint pain gel regularly can help reduce inflammation quickly and provide more immediate relief when compared to other forms of treatment such as physical therapy or anti-inflammatory drugs.
Long Term Help - Joint pain gel also has the potential to offer long term relief for those suffering from chronic conditions like arthritis. By targeting specific areas of discomfort, this product can improve mobility over time and bring about significant improvements in quality of life.
Low Risk Side Effects - Unlike some medications which may have numerous side effects, joint pain gels typically have few if any risks associated with their regular use. This makes them ideal for those who need ongoing support but don’t want to worry about potentially harmful reactions or interactions with other medications they might be taking.
As you can see, there are many advantages to incorporating joint pain gel into your daily routine if you suffer from painful joints due to injury or age-related wear and tear. With proper usage and careful consideration of any possible risks, this product could make a big difference in how much comfort you experience each day!
Cons Of Everyday Use
It is understandable that people may be concerned about the long-term effects of using joint pain gel every day. After all, our bodies are delicate and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to managing chronic conditions. However, it's important to remember that regular use of a topical analgesic can help manage symptoms over time with minimal side effects.
The most common side effect associated with the frequent application of joint pain gel is skin irritation or allergic reaction on the area where applied. If you experience any discomfort from applying the product daily, discuss this with your healthcare provider so they can determine if an alternative option would suit your needs better. Additionally, it’s always wise to consult a qualified medical professional before beginning any new treatment regimen for chronic pain management.
In addition to potential skin reactions, prolonged use could lead to changes in medication absorption levels. This might require adjusting current medications or seeking out alternative solutions that don't involve joint pain gels altogether - such as physical therapy or other lifestyle modifications like diet and exercise habits. Ultimately, it's important to weigh these risks against the benefits of using joint pain gel each day when making decisions regarding your health care routine.
Alternatives To Joint Pain Gel
Pain management begins with understanding the causes behind your joint pain. While using a topical gel may provide relief, it is often temporary and can cause side effects in some users. Natural remedies like diet changes, massage therapy, exercise and stretching are all viable alternatives to reduce inflammation without any potential risks or side effects.
Making dietary changes such as eating anti-inflammatory foods can help you avoid exacerbating existing joint pain. Include omega 3 fatty acids which have been known to decrease inflammation; found in fish like salmon, mackerel and herring as well as walnuts, flaxseed oil, chia seeds and edamame beans. For an added boost of antioxidants try adding berries to your meals or add turmeric for additional anti-inflammatory benefits.
Exercising regularly helps maintain healthy joints while increasing strength and flexibility. Low impact exercises such as swimming, walking or biking are helpful for reducing stiffness without causing further damage to the affected area. Incorporate daily stretches into your routine that focus on loosening tight muscles around the affected area so they don’t become stiffer over time. Massage also offers many health benefits including increased blood flow and improved mobility when applied correctly by a qualified practitioner.
With natural remedies being effective treatments against joint pain they should be considered first before opting for a traditional treatment involving medication like gels or creams that carry certain risk factors associated with them if used continuously over long periods of time. When considering an alternative approach to healing consider consulting with a professional who specializes in this field beforehand to ensure safety during the process.
How To Make An Informed Decision
Weighing the benefits and risks of using joint pain gel every day can be a difficult decision to make. As if it were an intricate scale, one must carefully consider each angle of the situation before coming down on either side. Figuratively speaking, this is like walking across a tightrope, where any misstep could lead to disastrous results.
When facing such a dilemma, it's important for those affected by chronic joint pain to take a step back and assess their current treatment plan. They should ask themselves: Are there any lifestyle changes or exercise regimens that I could undertake instead? While medication may bring temporary relief from discomfort, long-term relief often requires more than just popping pills everyday. Making small but meaningful alterations in diet and activity level can provide substantial improvements in overall health - with no risk involved!
Ultimately the choice will come down to what works best for you. Consulting your doctor about alternative treatments is always advised when considering whether or not daily use of joint pain gel is right for your individual needs. Don't rush into things without researching all possible options; being informed gives you the power to make better decisions regarding your well-being.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Do The Effects Of Joint Pain Gel Last?
"Pain relief from joint pain gel can last for several hours, depending on the severity of your pain. It's important to note that alternative treatments may provide longer lasting relief than joint pain gel alone. If you're experiencing chronic or severe joint pain it’s best to speak with a pain coach who can help you develop an individualized plan that includes appropriate medications and lifestyle changes."
What Are The Potential Side Effects Of Using Joint Pain Gel Every Day?
Using joint pain gel every day can bring relief to aching joints, but it's important to be aware of the potential side effects. Common side effects include skin irritation, itching, and burning at the application site. It is recommended that you check with your doctor before beginning any type of treatment for chronic joint pain, such as using joint pain gel or exploring alternative treatments like physical therapy.
Is Joint Pain Gel Safe For People With Certain Medical Conditions?
When it comes to joint pain, alternative treatments like joint pain gel may be an option for some people. However, if you have a medical condition such as diabetes or heart disease, the long-term risks of using this type of treatment should be taken into consideration before starting any daily use. Talk with your doctor about whether joint pain gel is safe for you and what other options might work better.
How Much Joint Pain Gel Should I Use Each Day?
When it comes to managing joint pain, finding the right dosage of joint pain gel is key. As a Pain Coach, I work with my clients to adjust their long-term use so that they can get maximum relief without any risks. Everyone’s body chemistry and needs are different, so what works for one person may not be effective for another—it all depends on how much joint pain gel you should be using each day. It’s important to start low and gradually increase as necessary; if your current dose isn't providing enough relief, talk to your doctor about increasing it slightly over time until you find the perfect amount!
Are There Any Drug Interactions With Joint Pain Gel?
When using joint pain gel, it's important to be aware of any potential drug interactions. It is advisable that you discuss your current and planned dosage with your healthcare provider before use in order to ensure safe usage. Be sure to let them know how much joint pain gel you will be taking each day as well as any other medications or supplements you may already be consuming. Your doctor can provide guidance on the appropriate amount of joint pain gel for your individual situation based on their expertise and knowledge about possible interactions with drugs you are currently taking.
Joint pain gel can be beneficial for those looking to manage their chronic joint pain. It is important, however, to weigh the risks versus benefits before making a decision on whether or not this product is right for you. Talk with your doctor about any possible side effects and drug interactions that could occur if you use joint pain gel every day. With the proper information in hand, you’ll be able to make an informed decision that works best for you and your body's needs. I encourage everyone suffering from joint pain to consider all options available when it comes to managing one of life's most frustrating ailments.

Go see ‘The Best Christmas Pageant Ever’
To the editor:
If you haven’t already gone to see “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever,” do yourself a favor and make sure you get to Pendragon before it’s too late.
