With more than 10,000 season ticket holders north of the border, the Seattle Seahawks in recent weeks have bumped the Vancouver Canucks to second status in the British Columbia sports market.
Mind you, with everything that’s gone wrong with the NHL team during the month of January, it cannot be deemed too much of a surprise. The Canucks have won just four games in their last 15 starts and when the Chicago Blackhawks bounced back from an early 2-0 deficit to score an easy 5-2 victory Wednesday, thousands of fans at Rogers Arena were heading for the exits halfway through the third period.
“Without a head coach, without their captain and without a power play,” wrote hockey columnist Jason Botchford, “the Canucks look lost in the middle of an NHL season that has begun to eat them alive.”
Coach John Tortorella, suspended by the league for six games after attempting to enter the Calgary Flames dressing room Jan. 18, doesn’t return to the bench until Monday night in Detroit. Captain Henrik Sedin has been on the shelf for the past half dozen games with a broken finger and Thursday the club announced that center Mike Santorelli is gone for the season with a shoulder injury and defenceman Kevin Bieksa won’t return to the lineup until after the Olympic Games because of an injured foot after blocking a shot in the Chicago game.
Scene and heard
While Canucks’ president and general manager Mike Gillis has been taking a considerable amount of heat from the Vancouver media, it hardly compares to what his counterpart with the Edmonton Oilers is going through.
Kevin Lowe, president of the Oilers, volunteered to step down last week after being bashed day after day by both the media and more importantly, the paying customers. Edmonton seems destined to finish dead last this year in the NHL’s Pacific Division and perhaps 30th overall unless the hapless Calgary Flames and Buffalo Sabres can figure a way to out fumble the Oilers down the home stretch of the 2013-14 schedule.
Here and there
Retired NHL players Kirk McLean and Pat Price are among the latest inductees to the British Columbia Hockey Hall of Fame. They are joined by veteran amateur hockey program coordinator Bill Ennos and the 2003-04 Memorial Cup champion Kelowna Rockets in the team category. McLean played 11 seasons with the Vancouver Canucks and is remembered for his outstanding play in the 1994 Stanley Cup final won by the New York Rangers in seven games.
Price, from Nelson, B.C., was a first round draft pick of the New York Islanders in 1975 and played 726 games in the NHL with various teams after a brief stint in the WHA.
The 2014 induction ceremonies will be held July 25 in Penticton.
It appears the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League could soon be sold by owner David Braley to Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment as talks have heated up between the two parties. Braley also owns the B.C. Lions and has made no secret of the fact he would sell the Lions if a local buyer made him the right offer.
Meantime, members of the Toronto city corporate community are being asked for feedback on the potential of an NFL franchise and new stadium in the Greater Toronto area.
NFL governors have made it clear they would want assurance that moving a franchise to Toronto would not kill the Argos or the CFL.
The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is literally going across Canada in 2014 with five live events that will hit Rogers Arena in Vancouver (June 14), the Colisee Pepsi Arena in Quebec City (April 16), Air Canada Centre in Toronto (Sept. 27), Halifax Metro Centre (Oct. 4) and the Bell Centre in Montreal (Dec. 6).

I am not seeing my bullpup Remington 870 or the Kel-tec sub2000 with quad rail on it. It’s very possible that I am overlooking them right in front of my face, but it’s also possible that I lend them out for somebody to try and forgot about it. If you have one of those on hand, please let me know privately.
I had a similar mystery recently, when a pistol disappeared. Turned out that a helpful friend put it into a case with another pistol going to a gunsmith for repair. The gunsmith didn’t ask me what the second pistol was for until I called about it.
So, just in case, I am checking on the two items I temporarily can’t locate.

text: Jerome Baker living the dream! As for me, I have a few NBA jerseys but I've never owned a Dolphins (or other NFL) Jersey. I think there are two reasons for that. 1 - I'm not keen on the baggy fit. 2 - The massive player turnover makes it hard to know who to pick. Here's to hoping we get some franchise players who spend their careers in Miami! I'm more likely to get other Dolphins gear like t-shirts, sweats, hoodies, caps etc. instead of a jersey.

Dynasty is a word we use in sports to describe sustained winning and success. The current dynasties in sports are the Golden State Warriors and the New England Patriots. While they are great for the era, their dynasties can’t match the dynasties of yesteryear in terms of all-time greatness. The greatest dynasty in the history of pro sports is the Boston Celtics, who won eight straight championships.
The NFL has 32 teams. The NHL has 31 teams, and the NBA and MLB each have 30 teams. Expansion has brought teams to areas that didn’t have pro sports franchises before, but it also has done something else. It has watered down pro sports.
Don’t get me wrong. Pro sports are exciting to watch, and the drama you see can’t be matched by any scripted television show. However, when it comes to dynasties, it changes the narrative. To be able to sustain winning in this era is still amazing, but to claim a dynasty is better simply because there are more teams is a flawed argument, and it’s also dead wrong.
If you want to say having not free agency in those days meant teams staying together longer, that’s a valid argument. However, when it comes to league size, the more teams that are in the league, the higher percentage of bad players, and thus bad teams, will be in the league. That means the worst teams of the pre-expansion era are better than the worst teams now. That means, while the team may have been bad, a road to a world championship was tougher based on that fact alone.
If you want to use the longer playoffs as a reason to justify dynasties being greater, the same argument applies. There are more bad playoff teams now than before.
When a team like the Warriors comes together, that just strengthens this. Even though most of the team was built organically through the draft, having three or more stars on a team in a weaker league makes it even easier to make a sustained run.
The Warriors feat of five consecutive trips to the NBA Finals is amazing. Winning a fourth title in five trips and third straight would be even more amazing. Likewise, the Patriots six Super Bowls and nine appearances is also amazing. That being said, in no way, shape, or form does this run even come close to the Celtics, Yankees, or Canadiens dynasties. They also don’t touch the Browns, Packers, or Steelers dynasties.
So, you can say today’s athletes are better, and the game has changed, but one thing is for certain, building a dynasty today isn’t more impressive than in the earlier days of sports.

The Convair 880 is an American narrow-body jet airliner produced by the Convair division of General Dynamics. It was designed to compete with the Boeing 707 and Douglas DC-8 by being smaller but faster, a niche that failed to create demand. When it was first introduced, some aviation circles claimed that at 615mph (990km/h), it was the fastest jet transport in the world. Only 65 Convair 880s were produced over the lifetime of the production run from 1959 to 1962, and General Dynamics eventually withdrew from the airliner market after considering the 880 project a failure. The Convair 990 was a stretched and faster variant of the 880.

I didn't want to make this card. It made me make it... really!
I received the new HeroArts Cling Stamp Dot Flower Pattern and couldn't put it down. Once I had this pattern stamped and die cut into a circle, it begged for a red frame. Loving this scalloped circle from Spellbinders, I searched for red paper and try as I could, I couldn't help but get my hero Arts snowman and trees out. The rest is history. I never would have thought of using this background for Christmas, but now I can imagine it in emerald green and other bold colors. I am very happy with this wonderful background stamp. Thank you again, Hero Arts - part of my stash for the Pin To Win Contest.

The failure of successive rainy seasons across the Horn of Africa region (mainly in Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya) has led to severe shortages of water, food and pasture. Parts of Somalia are on the brink of famine and the April/May rains only brought modest relief. The EU has dramatically stepped up its assistance in an effort to avert a catastrophe similar to the 2011 famine which left 260 000 Somalis dead. Humanitarian partners are providing food assistance in the form of cash grants, as well as water and health care.
The drought in the Horn of Africa comes on the heels of erratic weather caused by El Niño in 2015-16. While still recovering, communities across swathes of Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia have been further devastated. Many families have not only lost their source of food, but also their livelihoods. Hundreds of thousands of people have been uprooted as a result, and are in search of water, pasture and assistance.
The food security situation continues to deteriorate in areas which are difficult to access due to conflict or where insufficient aid is coming through. A Fall Armyworm infestation is also destroying crops across Ethiopia and Kenya. As a result of massive livestock losses, many children have been deprived of nutrient-rich milk. Acute malnutrition among children has sharply risen and is especially life-threatening when in conjunction with measles and water-related diseases such as diarrhoea and cholera. Indeed, the drought affected regions have been hit by deadly cholera outbreaks. Since the beginning of 2017, Somalia and Ethiopia have recorded 76 000 and 38 000 cases respectively, in addition to 2230 cases in Kenya.
Ethiopia and Kenya are among the world’s top 10 refugee hosting countries. They host the majority of the 875 000 Somali refugees in camps which rely heavily on international aid. There are also hundreds of thousands of South Sudanese, Eritrean and Congolese refugees in the region.
In 2016 alone, the European Commission allocated over €257 million in humanitarian aid, including a €163-million package for countries in the Horn of Africa most affected by El Niño. In 2017, so far €285 million has been allocated for aid to the wider region (Ethiopia, Djibouti, Kenya, Somalia and Uganda). This includes a €169 million tranche of aid specifically to respond to the drought.
The humanitarian funds are aimed at helping those whose lives are threatened by drought and conflict through the delivery of food assistance in the form of cash where possible and in-kind elsewhere; through health and nutrition care; the provision of clean water, sanitation and shelter; and livelihoods support, education and protection. With millions of internally displaced people and refugees, both protracted and recent, providing life-saving assistance and protection continues to be a humanitarian priority for this region.
In 2017, given the severity of the crisis, the European Commission’s Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations department has had to prioritise life-saving assistance to respond to the acute drought through food assistance, water trucking to communities left without any safe water sources and the treatment of severely malnourished children. Providing assistance and protection to uprooted populations, either internally displaced, refugees or returnees, is a priority. With the high numbers of forcibly displaced people in the Horn of Africa, efforts are made to help them become less dependent on aid and more self-reliant.
Across the region, the Commission’s humanitarian and development aid branches are increasingly linking up when emergency situations become protracted (refugees) or predictable (recurring droughts and floods). Humanitarian actors who are traditionally concerned with providing immediate life-saving aid to extremely vulnerable populations can inform longer-term strategies aimed at addressing root causes and building the resilience of these populations. From their side, development partners can better take into account the recurrent needs of the most vulnerable groups, including refugees and internally displaced people, and help them to become more self-reliant and less dependent on aid.
Despite the drought, the voluntary repatriation of refugees from Kenya to Somalia has continued in recent months. Over 70 000 refugees have been repatriated since 2014. The EU’s position is that any repatriation should be voluntary, informed, safe, dignified and sustainable.

This follows on from the post I did ages back on the Greatest Fictional Architect and House (book and film category), plus it’s a bit of fun for Friday.
Drum roll, the Best House in a TV advert has to be the house in the Karcher glass cleaning kit:
As the faithful readers know we have a stack of glass in our gaff (reminder below):
And yes, it’s been pretty difficult to clean. And not one to usually succumb to the power of advertising, but as an architect with a contemporary glazed house (perfect catchment for the advert!) I immediately went out and got the kit. And you know, it’s pretty good – no pool of dirty water on the ground, nice and clean and streak free. #Result :
2 thoughts on “And the best house in a TV advert goes to…”
I Agree. And so does my wife. This is really a wonderful house. Does anyone know where it is located? I will try to use this one as an inspiration for building my own dream house.

Van Asperen & Van Mechelen
Antwerp, Londenstraat 52
1908 / 2000 – 2004
/ 2000 – 2004
Between the MAS and Park Spoor Noord and all the new towers, there is a cute little building. Above the entrance is a placard with the words “Shelter for workers put under their protection”. It was founded in 1908 by the city council as a shelter for the workers of the port.
The architects were J. Van Asperen and Alexis Van Mechelen, then city architects. Another work by architect Van Mechelen close by is the old fire station. Indeed the building that now functions as the new Port House. While the fire station was built in neo-Renaissance style, this is a combination of different styles. It is called ecclectic in architectural jargon. But personally I think it has some cool Art Nouveau details.
In the 19th century, Antwerp dockers had a hard life: long working hours in the open air. Eating lunch was not an easy task, there was hardly any shelter and people could not eat in a dry place. In 1853, Mayor Loos took the initiative to provide soup and tea for the workers. 98,000 liters of soup were distributed to the Bonaparte dock in 107 days.
In addition, soup kitchens were added. Here port workers could heat themselves and eat cheaply. Until shortly before WWI, the workers were also recruited and paid here. The original sentences that adorned the walls were added to the interior. All to motivate the workers. There is now only one soup kitchen in the port of Antwerp: soup kitchen 110 near Metropolis.
The building currently has a different function. It had known years of vacancy and a period as a disco until it was finally restored in 2000 and refurbished as a banquet hall and restaurant. The restoration lasted two years and several missing details were reconstructed: the mosaic floor was cut down again in marble and some flower shapes from the ceiling were re-cast.

A judge on Friday granted a defense motion for a competency evaluation for Letecia Stauch, the stepmother charged in the slaying of 11-year-old Gannon Stauch, a move that will delay legal proceedings against her.
The order by 4th Judicial District Judge Gregory Werner came at a hearing where prosecutors announced that an expert had obtained a portion of remains found last March in Florida and offered a second opinion that the remains are those of Gannon.
“It is Gannon,” lead prosecutor Michael Allen told the court. Further study was expected on a molar obtained by the prosecution.
A Florida medical examiner handling the autopsy tentatively has identified the remains as Gannon’s, but the report is not complete, Allen said.
The judge’s competency ruling pauses the case against Stauch, 36, until the judge determines whether she is mentally fit to be tried. She is charged with first-degree murder and multiple other counts in connection with Gannon’s killing.
The evaluation will be conducted at the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo. The judge said it would take about 90 days to complete, but Allen acknowledged the timeline could be wrinkled by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Werner scheduled a Sept. 8 hearing to receive the state’s competency report.
If state experts conclude Stauch is incompetent, prosecutors said they will exercise their right under Colorado law to request a second evaluation, resulting in further delays. Any dispute among experts as to Stauch’s mental fitness would be resolved by the judge at a hearing.
If Werner finds her incompetent, the charges would remain in abeyance while state psychiatrists provide care meant to restore her mental fitness. If that happens, Stauch could be held for indefinite treatment, up to the rest of her life, under the first-degree murder charge.
Wearing a standard orange jail jumpsuit with her hands cuffed behind her back, Stauch spoke just once to acknowledge that she had been advised by her attorneys about the competency challenge, answering, “Yes, your honor.” She sat with her head tilted downward, letting her long dark hair hide her face from the gallery.
The ruling came at a status hearing meant to determine the next steps in the case against her.
During the brief proceedings, prosecutors also filed a new solicitation to commit escape charge against Stauch, alleging that she offered to pay a fellow inmate up to $75,000 to help her escape from the El Paso County jail.
Al Stauch, Gannon’s father, sat in the gallery for the hearing. He was on a military assignment when his son was reported missing by Leticia Stauch on Jan. 27. He filed for divorce after she became a suspect. Gannon’s mother, Landen Hiott, and his aunt Victoria Birkenstock were among three relatives who watched via video link, Allen said.
Remains believed to be Gannon’s were found March 18 in Santa Rosa County on the Florida panhandle, east of Pensacola, authorities said.
Investigators suspect the boy was killed with a knife or other weapon while lying on his bed in his basement bedroom, likely on the day he was reported missing, the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office said in an arrest affidavit.
Authorities haven’t disclosed how they believe the remains ended up in Florida. Letecia Stauch was arrested March 2 in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
During a news conference after the hearing, Allen said he warned Gannon’s family to expect a slow-moving prosecution now that a competency challenge is filed.
“Really, it’s just going to slow things down, tremendously,” he said.
Editor’s note: This story was provided by the Colorado Springs Gazette, per a judge’s orders for shared media coverage. The Gazette reporter was the designated print media representative allowed in the courtroom.


Suzuki has lodged patents drawings that suggest a retro cafe racer model with a trellis frame and single-cylinder engine to catch up with other manufacturers plundering this lucrative sector.
While most manufacturers have retro models such as cafe racers and scramblers, Suzuki only has the reincarnated Katana and the lovely, but too-small TU250X.
Customiser have mainly used old GS Suzuki models to create retro cafe racers. Maybe Suzuki has been watching and now plans to follow their lead.
The patent drawings show a very basic motorcycle with a trellis frame that would make it much easier to customise which many retro buyers seem to do.
On top is very short seat and no tail which would obviously never make it to market. Let’s just say it’s unfinished, but certainly a target that some customisers would aim for.
The tank looks very neo-classic with its knee indents and retro lines with a flattish top.
It seems to have a nice short wheel base, steep rake in the forks and rearset footpegs, indicating a cafe racer stance.
There are no handlebars yet, but we would assume it would take clip-ons.
The compact engine is a single-cylinder unit. The patent description talks about “a crankcase, a cylinder and a cylinder head”.
Perhaps it would be around 400cc, vying for that novice market that wants a good balance in a light bike with moderate power.
So it’s not a high-powered cafe racer as the single disc on the front would also suggest.
Of particular interest is the header pipe which curls around before heading down the right side, probably ending at a stubby muffler since it is not visible beyond the engine.
New to Suzuki is the triangular swingarm. It looks quite bulky and sturdy for a bike that looks to be fairly light.
But don’t get too excited yet.
Patent drawings don’t necessarily end up being complete new models.
It might simply be an exercise in securing the patent some of these elements.

Want this question answered?
look up an policy
We have an old life insurance policy from Interstate life and accident and it was bought by AIG Insurance how do i contact them
Contact the party that issued the insurance policy for this answer.
No. An insurance policy cannot be issued to pay for an accident that already happened. Why in the world would you think that an insurance company would take on a claim that happened before you purchased the policy.
An accident policy is an insurance policy that will pay all or a portion of medical expenses incurred in the course of an accident.
It could be an insurance policy taken out with an insurance company in case of an accident.
if your insurance agent had entered the wrong vin number in when getting you insurance by one digit and they issued you a policy and have been driving around under the assumption you had insurance and get in an accident?? who is liable??
master insurance policy In Marine Policy, one Master or Open policy is issued to the Exporter for a fixed amount. Against each shipment, Insurance Certificate is issued against the Master or Open Marine Policy. When the total amount of the Master policy is exhausted,either the value is enhanced or a separate Master Policy is issued to the exporter.
If the car that was involved, in an acident was insured yea!
Yes it does. The cancellation of an insurance policy is not retroactive.
Contact the claims department of the title insurance underwriter that issued your policy.
The term "accident insurance" applies to life and health insurance policy's that will only pay claims that result from an accident. Example: A person who owns an accident-only disability policy falls ill from cancer. The policy will not pay any claims as a result of the cancer. If the same person fell down a flight of stairs, the policy would pay.

Ranipet police on Thursday arrested an ex-serviceman on charges of cheating an engineering graduate of about Rs 5 lakh, promising him a job in the Railways.
V Ganapathy (27) of Ammur lodged a complaint with the Ranipet police against Kumar (47) of the same village, stating that the latter had cheated him to the tune of Rs 5.15 lakh, promising him a job in the Railways.
Ganapathy, a BE civil engineer, also stated that he had given the money on January 15, 2012, and waited for more than a year, hoping that Kumar would get him the job. However, he failed to keep his promise. Kumar dodged Ganapathy when the latter asked him to return the money, said sub-inspector of police of Ranipet Station, Senthil Kumar.
A case was registered against Kumar and he was arrested. He was remanded to the Vellore Central Prison for Men.

Yes, the replica medallion is from Master Replicas! I just wanted to compare the screen used medallion from a Master Replica medallion, though my medallion is not well detailed because it was used for stunt and far distance shots.
I agree with you too! The helmet while not used in the (1993) Jurassic Park, is still really cool how much time and effort the people from Jurassic World made an almost identical helmet and weathered it to make it look like it was abandoned for years at the park!
When reaserching the T-Rex teeth of why they are numbered from the original Jurassic Park, I've found this photo from YourProps.com. A collector found a blueprint sketch from Stan Winston Studios of the inner T-Rex mouth! It shows that the upper jaw teeth numbered 1-24, and the lower jaw...
Thanks for the complement! When I asked Tom Spina about displaying the tooth, I asked him to go BIG and surprise me on the display. We had multiple ideas for the tooth until we both agreed on the display that you see today! This is one of my center piece in my collection!
Here are some really cool screen used Jurassic Park and Jurassic World in my movie prop collection, two of these from Jurassic Park are my top prized items in my prop collection!
The weathered Jurassic Park hard hat was used from Colin Trevorrow's 2015 blockbuster sequel, Jurassic World. Zach...

A British artist has created a banana-shaped pool table.
ClÃ©on Daniel from Dorset said that the idea came to him in a "matter of minutes" while traveling on a train.
He told the Daily Mail: "'I thought of a banana and imagined something extrinsic pushing the spots around on it and how the pattern could be used differently, and it just clicked."
The 25-year-old approached his carpenter friend to help create the visionary design.
"We had a lot of laughs making it. My uncle kept complaining how 'nothing's straight forward with this' and 'you're bloody mad, that's your problem'," he added.
Dubbed 'Banana Pool', it was constructed into an 8.5ft-long games table.
"As it started to take shape it was strange to walk round," Daniel noted. "The shape is so unexpected at certain angles, it seems to command attention."

Reading Lately: May 2019
We've officially moved to Portland! I couldn't be happier to be back in my hometown - I missed my family and friends, I missed going into the office, and I missed the city itself. Eli and I have had a great time rediscovering the city and our neighborhood - so far we've gone to Cascade Brewery, Afuri, Smith Teamaker, and Books with Pictures. We haven't even made it back to my beloved Los Gorditos yet. Eli is loving his new job, and Luna has loved going in to the Puppet office. We're looking forward to a summer full of fun activities! In the meantime I've had a lot of time for reading (or listening) now that I'm commuting, so here's what I've been reading:
This was an endearing, heartwarming, unexpectedly melancholy novel. It follows an Indian widow - rid of her isolating, emotionally abusive husband - on her search for her gay son in America. The adventure of course goes sideways, and is full of cultural conflict, examining prejudices, and realizing that we're all similar. An uplifting read - but be prepared with tissues at the end!
My latest Nora Ephron, I found this one was hard to connect to. It's all about her experience of aging, and I felt the generational disconnect. I'd love to pick this up again when I'm 40 or 50, but for now it just felt melancholy and foreign, and made me afraid of getting older.
This one didn't quite do it for me either. It's about a 40-something Danish woman struggling to move on from a rough childhood. It's sparse on details though, and I found Sonja's anxieties and murky past hard to read about. It's simultaneous distressing and not terribly interesting, and felt weirdly empty of both plot and characters. In the end I moved on to more enjoyable reads.
Like a long-form podcast, this was a super interesting and well written book! It looks at swearing from every angle - why we do it, how it's changed over time, how it affects our brains. Everyone swears or has opinions on cussing, so it's definitely relevant to your life and makes for great conversations with just about anyone. It's scientific yet accessible - at one point the author even cites her own paper! Some of my favorite learnings are that monkeys will create new words from the words they know which resulted in them calling radishes "cry food", and that calling someone's mother a "das Schwein" (pig) in Germany is one of the most offensive curses (like, actually do not say it). If you listen to a lot of science podcasts or like nonfiction this is a great read!
Coming off of Happy City I wanted to know more about reducing the waste I produce - not just in trash, but in buying things I don't need or use. This ended up being too much preaching for me. Despite the authors helpful, actionable exercises, the well researched and planned solutions to the social problem of buying too much, I found I wasn't getting very much out of it. It was geared toward someone who was more skeptical and 'early' in their own-less journey, and honestly I also just didn't love the narrator of the audiobook.
This book was solidly fine. It's way too nostalgic, and heavy-handed in prescribing the kind of society we should live in. If you love reading articles about how millennials and cellphones are ruining everything, this is a great book for you!
I don't. That said, the characters are endearing and the plot is somewhat interesting. It's got a YA vibe in that every personality and event is heavily simplified (in fact it's more YA than a lot of the YA books I read...), and the whole book felt one-dimensional. But if you're looking for an easy, mostly-uplifting read, this'll do the trick :)
Aminah Mae Safi
I have mixed feelings about this one. It was more solidly YA than many of the "YA" novels I read, and it reminded me of all the best and worst parts of high school. Lulu is a biracial Arab-American Muslim teen (her mom is a white American Catholic, her dad an Iraqi Muslim) living in Texas, and it was interesting (and heartbreaking) to read about her experiences of racism and struggle with her own cultural identity. She has a wonderful and dramatic group of friends who have their own struggles - one Hispanic, one lesbian, one with helicopter parents - and while their fights felt petty they were also realistically high school. I love the perspective this book gave me and the complexity of the characters, if not the complexity of their boy problems.
Another true YA read, this had a similar vibe to the previous one - heavy on the boy troubles, but also on the well-written characters with interesting struggles. 'Tell Me Three Things' follows Jessie after her mom dies, and her dad moves her from Chicago to LA to live with his new wife (about 2 years after her mom dies). While the plot itself is predictable Jessie's grief and coping with the loss of her mom is palpable, and every character is dynamic and well-written.
I LOVED this book. After a lot of so-so books it's so refreshing to read a book that reminds you why you love to read. The book starts in modern day when 90-something Isabelle asks her close friend and hair dresser Dorrie to drive her to a funeral in Cincinnati from their home in east Texas. Isabelle tells Dorrie about falling in love with a black man in 1939 in Kentucky, in parallel talking about Dorrie's own modern life as a black single mom raising 2 kids and dating. The characters were so rich in this book, and before I knew it I felt so invested in knowing what would happen next. I laughed, I cried, I gained so much appreciation for the privilege I have as a white woman living in modern day. My first 5-star in a while.
This was some lovely lighter fare while I travelled to Budapest for work. It follows four women who, through a hilarious and unlikely series of events, find themselves in a book club together despite knowing very little about each other. From there the real antics start: accidental affairs (the affair part is accidental, not the sex), a bathtub falling through the ceiling, party favor vibrators, and a big secret. I liked the complex female friendships in this - how the 4 don't always get along but find that their lives are better together than apart, and how in the end they're there for each other. This is a fun and exciting beach read!

Methods: We performed diffusion magnetic resonance imaging with probabilistic tractography on four Malay males to parcellate the hippocampus according to its relative connection probability to the six subdivisions of the PFC.
Results: Our findings revealed that each hippocampus showed putative connectivity to all the subdivisions of PFC, with the highest connectivity to the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). Parcellation of the hippocampus according to its connection probability to the six PFC subdivisions showed variability in the pattern of the connection distribution and no clear distinction between the hippocampal subregions.
Conclusion: Hippocampus displayed highest connectivity to the OFC as compared to other PFC subdivisions. We did not find a unifying pattern of distribution based on the connectivity-based parcellation of the hippocampus.
METHODS: In this article, the steps involved in importing, segmenting, and registering tomographic images using 3D Slicer were thoroughly described, before importing them into GATE for MC simulation. The absorbed doses estimated using GATE were then compared with that of PM. SlicerRT, a 3D Slicer extension, was then used to visualize the isodose from the MC simulation.
RESULTS: A workflow diagram consisting of all the steps taken in the utilization of 3D Slicer for personalized dosimetry in 90 Y radioembolization has been presented in this article. In comparison to the MC simulation, the absorbed doses to the tumor and normal liver were overestimated by PM by 105.55% and 20.23%, respectively, whereas for lungs, the absorbed dose estimated by PM was underestimated by 25.32%. These values were supported by the isodose distribution obtained via SlicerRT, suggesting the presence of beta particles outside the volumes of interest. These findings demonstrate the importance of personalized dosimetry for a more accurate absorbed dose estimation compared to PM.
CONCLUSION: The methodology provided in this study can assist users (especially students or researchers who are new to MC simulation) in navigating intricate steps required in the importation of tomographic data for MC simulation. These steps can also be utilized for other radiation therapy related applications, not necessarily limited to internal dosimetry.


Inland Fisheries Ireland confirms large fish kill in tributary of Nenagh River
Inland Fisheries Ireland has confirmed that a large fill kill occurred on the Ollatrim River, a tributary of the Nenagh River, Co. Tipperary last week. Fisheries Officers attended the site at Ballinahemery Bridge near Ballymackey, Nenagh, Co. Tipperary on Monday, 9th July 2018 after receiving a report.
In total, 14,749 fish were estimated dead with dead fish observed over a five kilometre stretch of the river. The species affected included brown trout (1,400), lamprey (10,500), Stoneloach (805), Minnow (1,820), Salmon (70), Crayfish (70) and Stickleback (84).
Inland Fisheries Ireland immediately commenced an investigation following the discovery of the fish mortality. Indications are that the fish kill occurred on Sunday (8th July) and locals have reported observing one or two dead fish on the Saturday evening. This is the largest fish kill of Lamprey, a protected species, in recent years and it is anticipated that recovery will take several years.
The investigation to identify the source of the fish kill is continuing this week. The cause appears to have been a chemical agent, possibly a herbicide or pesticide, which has now passed through the system.
Inland Fisheries Ireland is reminding the public and the farming community that if they are using spraying equipment to be aware that these herbicide and pesticide chemicals, even when diluted with water, are liable to be extremely toxic to all aquatic species and fish in particular. Any mixing must be done far from natural watercourses, especially in the current conditions when diluting waters are in short supply therefore increasing the toxicity of the chemical.
If mixing chemicals, washing or using spraying equipment for any purpose, particular care must be taken to ensure that the rinsing of equipment does not take place near any water body or watercourse including small drains. Any washing must be carried out in a manner that will not pollute the waters.
Inland Fisheries Ireland has a confidential hotline number to enable members of the public to report incidents by telephone 0818 34 74 24 or 0818 FISH 24. The phone line is designed to encourage the reporting of incidents of illegal fishing, water pollution and invasive species.

SINGAPORE - The nationwide vaccine roll-out prevented around 8,000 Covid-19 deaths during the peak of the Delta wave last year.
Vaccines also helped the country avoid 33,000 severe cases and 112,000 hospitalisations, according to a report on the impact of various measures in the past two Budgets, in 2020 and 2021, to mitigate the impact of the pandemic.
These figures, based on new estimates from the Ministry of Health (MOH), were published on Thursday (Feb 17) in the 58-page report issued by the Ministry of Finance. It comes ahead of this year's Budget statement on Friday (Feb 18).
To arrive at its conclusions, MOH first looked at estimates of vaccine effectiveness in Singapore.
One local study found that unvaccinated people were more likely to get the virus from their infected household contacts, compared with vaccinated people. In such circumstances, vaccines were 56.4 per cent effective against infection.
The ministry also looked at age-specific differences in outcomes among Covid-19 cases reported between Aug 1 and Dec 31 last year, when the Delta variant of the coronavirus was dominant.
As a general rule, unvaccinated people were much more likely to be hospitalised, develop severe illness, or die - especially if they were also older.
For instance, vaccinated people aged 50 to 59 had a 4 per cent chance of hospitalisation, and a 1 per cent chance of falling severely ill.
But unvaccinated people in the same age group had a 34 per cent chance of being hospitalised and a 10 per cent chance of falling severely ill.
For older people aged 80 and above, the chance of hospitalisation for unvaccinated people was 88 per cent, compared with 51 per cent for the vaccinated.
Their chances of becoming severely ill were 41 per cent for the unvaccinated and 10 per cent for the vaccinated.
Using these figures, MOH simulated the number of hospitalisations, severe cases and deaths that would likely have taken place if vaccines were not available.
It estimated that the country would have seen more than double the 198,361 Covid-19 cases actually reported during the five-month period from August to December 2021.
The country would also have seen eight times the hospitalisation rate, nearly 12 times the number of severe cases and 11 times the number of total deaths.
"These estimates likely underestimate the benefits of vaccination, as they do not factor in the effect of vaccinations in reducing the chain of transmission and the likelihood of worse mortality outcomes if healthcare facilities had to manage a significantly higher caseload," the report noted.
It added that Singapore's vaccination programme helped the country keep death rates low throughout the pandemic.
As at Feb 15, the country had seen 16.7 Covid-19 deaths per 100,000 population.
This is on a par with similarly highly vaccinated countries such as South Korea and Japan, which saw 14 and 16.5 deaths per 100,000 population respectively.
In contrast, countries such as the United States have a relatively high death rate of around 277 deaths per 100,000 population, and lower vaccination rates.

The distinction between planetary ball mills can be divided into laboratory ball mills and production ball mills. The laboratory ball mill is mainly used for experimental research. The operation is simple, the volume of the ball mill is small, and the noise is low compared to the production type ball mill. However, there are few abrasive materials and it is mainly suitable for experimental research. Laboratory ball mills are not much different from production ball mills in terms of structure, materials, and principles.
Production-type ball mills are mainly used for mass production, because the output is large and easy to maintain and use, and the main difference between the laboratory ball mill and the ball mill is the difference in the volume of material production and volume. Therefore, when selecting a ball mill, it is recommended that a small-scale laboratory ball mill be used for small batch production of materials, and a production type ball mill is recommended for batch production.

Starting Sunday, Austin Police Officers will see an increase in their paychecks.
The Austin City Council voted 10-1 on Thursday to restore most of the stipends officers used to receive under the city's contract with the police association.
Back in December, the council rejected a five-year, $82 million renewal of the city's labor contract with the Austin Police Association (APA). At the time, some members said the deal was too costly and lacked transparency.
The council wanted to go back to the drawing board and renegotiate, but the APA membership voted to let the contract expire. Since the end of December, the police department has been operating under the civil service code.
Now that the City has a new Manager, Spencer Cronk, city staff and the APA will start negotiations again. APA President Ken Casady said he hopes a deal can be reached by the end of March.
But when the police contract ended, all Austin officers saw cuts to their paychecks because they used to receive stipends for different roles and responsibilities they took on.
"Because they have everything in front of their name, they're [Field Training Officer], they're a mental health officer, they're on a night shift. So all those guys and girls lost that money. It totals up to $1,000. And for anybody in this city $1,000 a month is a big pay cut for anybody," Casaday said.
During the public comment before the council vote, some argued the cuts wouldn't have happened in the first place if officers would have continued negotiations and that the council would give up its negotiating leverage if it restored the stipends.
The council voted to restore all of the stipends with the exception of restoring the longevity pay and Field Training Officer pay to the amounts they were under the APA contract.

Storm, West Allis, Wis., assignor to Sunbeam Corporation, a corporation of Illinois Application June 7, 1944, Serial No. 539,107
2 Claims. 1
This invention relates to apparatus for bonding wear-resistant facing elements to machine elements and, while it is of general application, it is particularly suitable for bonding or brazing refractory cutting elements to the cutting teeth of a rotary tool-bit cutter or miller by the high frequency induction heating method.
It is well known that there are numerous advantages to be gained from the use of a highfrequency induction heating system in the heat treatment of machine-tool elements and stock by virtue of the fact that the heat-treating cycle can be readily adjusted and accurately controlled and can be conducted in any desired atmosphere. Such high-frequency induction heating systems are particularly useful when it is desired that the heat treatment not penetrate too deeply into the object being treated, which tends to impair the toughness and resilience of the internal structure of the object. However, it has been found that arrangements heretofore proposed for bonding or brazing wear-resistant facing elements to machine elements have not been adapted for heat treatment by high-frequency induction heating systems, as the resilient devices utilized to hold in place the facing elements have been subject to excessive heating, whereby they have lost their resilience, in extreme cases even melting, so that the facing elements are not properly retained in position during the bonding or brazing operation.
It is another object of the invention to provide a new and improved apparatus for bonding wearresistant facing elements to machine elements including high-frequency induction heating apparatus for conducting the heat treatment.
In accordance with the invention, in a machine element comprising an approximately cylindrical shank and one or more working parts arranged about the periphery thereof, the method of bonding wear-resistant metallic facing elements to the working parts while biased into engagement with such parts by means of one or more tensioned conductive metallic strands comprises positioning the facing elements adjacent the working parts with a bonding material interposed the-rebetween and tensioning the strands about the shank and the facing elements to bias the facing elements into engagement With the working parts. Thereupon there is developed a hilgh-frequency magnetic field and the element is disposed therein while the tensioned strands are. substantially shielded from the high-frequency field to prevent excessive heating thereof.
Further in accordance with the invention, in
a machine element comprising an elongated approximately cylindrical shank and one or more elongated working parts arranged about the periphery thereof, there is provided an arrangement for bonding wear-resistant metallic elements to the working parts comprising one or more tensioned conductive metallic strands surrounding the shank and the facing elements for biasing the facing elements into engagement with the Working parts with bonding material interposed therebetween. There is also provided means for developing a high-frequency magnetic field surrounding the element and means for substantially shielding the conductive strands from the high-frequency field to prevent excessive heating thereof,
The invention, both as to its organization and method of operation, together with further objects and advantages thereof, will best be understood by reference to the specification taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figs. 1 and 2 are partial longitudinal and crosssectional views, respectively, of a machine element of the type described with the associated high-frequency induction heating apparatus positioned with respect thereto; and
Figs. 3 and 4 are fragmentary side and top views of a single wear-resistant facing element in association with a working part of the shank of the machine element of the apparatus of Figs. 1 and 2.
Referring now to Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings, there is illustrated partially schematically, an arrangement for bonding wearresistant metallic elements to the working parts of a machine element or tool, specifically an arrangement for brazing refractory cutting elements to the cutting teeth of a tool-bit cutter or miller. The machine element or miller comprises an elongated approximately cylindrical shank H! and a plurality of elongated working parts, such as the cutting teeth Illa, arranged about the periphery thereof. The wear-resistant facing or cutting elements H are adapted to be bonded or brazed to the cutting teeth by intervposing bonding material therebetween, such as a series of shims I2 of suitable brazing material, such as silver.
In order to biasthe facing or cutting elements ll into engagement with the cutting teeth 10a during the brazing process with the bonding shims l2 retained therebetween, there are provided a plurality of relatively short rollers [-3 at each end of the cutting element and shank assembly, each of the rollers being disposed in the recess between adjacent teeth and abutting against an associated facing or cutting element II. The whole assembly is then firmly held together by one or more groups of tensioned conductiv-e metallic stnands such as the tensioned steel or Nichrome wire I 4 wound around the groups of rollers I3 at each end of the assembly and surrounding the shank I and facing or cutting elements II. The wires I4, after being drawn taut, may be secured in any suitable manner, as by twisting together the two ends of each.
The assembly as just described is suitable for treatment in an ordinary brazing furnace, but if it is attempted to treat it in a conventional highfrequency induction furnace, it has been discovered that the resistance of the tensioned wires I4 is sufficiently high and their thermal inertia so small that they become excessively heated, losing their resilience or even melting, before the brazing operation is completed. In order to avoid this result there is provided a special form of high-frequency induction heating apparatus comprising means for developing a high-frequency magnetic field surrounding the shank Ill and the facing or cutting elements I I. This may take the form of a high-frequency inductor I5 proportioned closely to surround the assembly and of a length substantially equal to the distance between the conductive strands or wires I4. The inductor I5 is adapted to be connected to a highfrequency oscillation generator I6 which is energized from supply terminals I! through a suitable switch or circuit breaker I8. Preferably, the high-frequency oscillation generator I6 is of the improved character disclosed and claimed in copending application Serial No. 539,106, filed June 7, 1944, Herbert F. Storm, and assigned to the same assignee as the present invention.
The high-frequency induction heating apparatus also includes means for substantially shielding the conductive strands or wires I4 from the high-frequency field to prevent excessive heating thereof. This shielding means comprises a pair of annular members I9 of high conductivity material, such as copper, surrounding the strands Ill and disposed one at each end of the inductor I5. The members I9 are of a radius effective substantially to confine and concentrate the magnetic field to the portion of the facing or cutting elements II between the conductive strands.
In order to prevent the facing or cutting elements II, which are quite brittle, from breaking away from their associated teeth IOa at the portion where the brazing is incomplete due to the restriction of the high-frequency magnetic field, the ends of the facing or cutting elements II may be beveled off at II a, as indicated in Figs. 3 and 4, so that the actual working portion of the elements I I is confined to the portion of their length where they are firmly bonded or brazed to the shank II).
From the foregoing description of the apparatus for practicing the invention, the method of the invention will be clear to those skilled in the art. The elongated wear-resistant metallic facing elements I I are bonded to the working parts or cutting teeth Illa of the shank I0 while they are biased into engagement with such teeth by means of the tensioned conductive metallic strands or wire I4 at each end of the elements I I. This is eifected by initially positioning the elements I I adjacent their associated working parts or teeth Illa with a bonding material such as the silver shims I2 interposed therebetween, a suitable fiuxlng material being applied to the assembly. The strands or wires I4 are then tensioned or drawn tight about the shank II] and the associated rollers I3 and elements II, the tensioning of the wires I4 cooperating with the rollers I3 to bias the elements II into engagement with their respective teeth Illa.
The high-frequency oscillation generator I6 is energized from the supply terminals I! and operates in a conventional manner to develop a highfrequency current which is applied to the inductor I5 for developing a high-frequency magnetic field. The shank Ill and the assembled elements are then inserted within the inductor I5 and thus within its magnetic field. Neglecting for the moment the action of the annular members I9, the field developed by the inductor I 5 has a general toroidal form, the cross section of which is represented by the dotted-line field 20. It is seen that this field has a substantial coupling 0r linkage with the tensioned strands or wires I4. These wires form a closed circuit and are of a relatively high resistance and low thermal inertia. As a result they tend to become excessively heated by the high-frequency magnetic field to the point where they lose their resilence and thus fail to hold the elements in their proper biased engagement, in some cases the wires I4 even being melted by this intense field.
In accordance with the invention, the'system includes provisions for substantially shielding the tensioned strands or wires I4 from the high-frequency field to prevent such excessive heating. This efifect is the result of the annular shielding members I9, which are effective to reflect the high-frequency field from the portion of the assembly including the tensioned strands I4 and to confine it to, and concentrate it on, the intervening portions of the facing or cutting elements II, thus accentuating and accelerating the heating and brazing of these elements to the teeth Illa of the shank III. A cross-section of the general field distribution of the high-frequency magnetic field with the shielding members I9 in place is represented by the dashed line field 2|.
Thus there is provided by the invention described a practical arrangement for bonding or brazing refractory cutting elements to the cutting teeth of a rotary tool-bit cutter or miller by the use of a high-frequency induction type of heating apparatus for efiecting the brazing operation.
While there has been described what is at present considered to be the preferred embodiment of the invention, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention.
What I claim as new is:
1. Apparatus for bonding a plurality of elongated cutting elements to teeth arranged about and radiating from the shank of a rotary tool bit cutter, comprising holding elements disposed against said cutting elements in the tooth slots separating said teeth to hold said cutting elements against the sides of said teeth and projecting radially beyond said cutting elements, one or more tensioned conductive metallic strands surrounding said shank and tightly wrapped around the projecting parts of said holding elements to force said holding elements into said tooth slots, thereby to bias each of said cutting elements against the sides of each of said teeth respectively, means for developing a high frequency magnetic field surrounding said cutter comprising a high frequency inductor surrounding said cutter and of a length substantially equal to the distance between said conductive strands, and means for substantially shielding the conductive strands from said high frequency field to prevent excessive heating thereof.
2. Apparatus for bonding a plurality of elongated cutting elements having end portions which are inactive in use to teeth arranged about and radiating from the shank of a rotary tool bit cutter, comprising holding elements disposed in engagement with said cutting elements at each end of the slots separating said teeth to hold said cutting elements against the sides of said teeth, said holding elements extending radially beyond the outer cutting edges of said cutting elements, one or more tensioned conductive metallic strands surrounding said shank at the inactive ends of said cutting elements and tightly wrapped around the projecting parts of said holding elements to force said holding elements into said tooth slots, thereby to bias said cutting elements against the sides of said teeth, a high frequency inductor proportioned to surround said shank and of a length substantially equal to the distance between said conductive strands, and an annular ring of high electrical conductivity disposed at each end of said inductor to surround said strands to shield the same and prevent excessive heating thereof.
