Bold proposal for main street of heritage town
A plan for a large suspended sculpture in the historic main street of Dorrigo continues to cause controversy.
Local man Glen Little, who is a sculptor himself, says the proposed 'Water Cloud' sculpture is out of keeping with the town's historic streetscape and would be better suited in another location.
The 10.5 by 6.5 metre aluminium artwork would be suspended over poles on Hickory Street adjacent to the Dorrigo Hall and Visitor Information Centre.
It is being funded by a local philanthropist as a work of public art for the community.
The bold proposal was the subject of a petition titled 'Water Cloud Sculpture Won't Make it Rain Tourists' which attracted hundreds of signatures urging Bellingen Shire Council not to approve it.
A round of public consultation on what Glen describes as Council's "clunky web portal" received almost 900 submissions against and just over 100 for the proposal.
"Despite this emphatic response, Council undeterred still pursues approval," Glen said.
"One school of thought is that because only one Councillor actually lives in Dorrigo the proposal is being pushed through by Councillors who just don't care about Dorrigo."
He fears the sculpture could ruin the entire look of the town.
"I note Council's sensitivity considering the heritage value of the Cenotaph with regard to the long awaited roundabout upgrade but, this seems a distinct double standard.
"The impact of a huge aluminium sculpture designed to dominate the heritage streetscape and lit with programmable coloured lighting over the mainstreet and seen from hundreds of metres away is being ignored."
The matter was before Councillors at their January 29 meeting where a number of concerns were discussed including risks associated with the rigid nature of the structure, and the need for barriers and safety zones given its placement over the roadway.
Council also noted the majority of submissions expressed concerns with the location and form of the sculpture.
It was resolved to refer it back to the philanthropist for a: "detailed
response back to Council, including the potential to explore other options and the
potential for the provision of a model or further visual representations of the artwork".

National Day of Prayer celebrated at Capitol
Appeal Staff Writer
“Our God reigns, no matter how you spell it,” proclaimed Rev. Pat Propster at Thursday’s 54th annual National Day of Prayer observed at the state Capitol.
This year’s theme was “God shed His grace on thee.”
The light rain stopped shortly after inspirational music began. With music ministry from First Christian Church and Silver Hills Community Church, the crowd of about 120 people joined in chorus to “God of Wonders.” As the music ended, “God Bless America” could be heard coming from carillons at the Paul Laxalt State Building.
“We pray that today is a springboard day to pray for this nation ever after,” Propster said.
Rev. Stan Friend read the presidential proclamation, State Treasurer Brian Krolicki read Gov. Guinn’s proclamation and Carson City Mayor Marv Teixeira read his own proclamation.
Praying for the nation was Rev. Ken Haskins; Rev. John Wiltse prayed for the state of Nevada and Rev. Chuck Nichter prayed for Carson City and its communities.
Krolicki addressed the crowd on behalf of the governor and the state, and noted that with 30 days remaining in the 120-day legislative session, “We’re going to need all the prayers we can get.”
Rose Feltner of Carson City and her two sons, William, 15, and David, 12, said it was a privilege to attend.
“I feel this is wonderful being able to gather here with everyone,” Feltner said.
“I want to thank the clergy who carry on this mission (of prayer) every day,” said Sen. Mark Amodei. “It’s a privilege to be a part of this.
“And remember today is Cinco de Mayo, and an anniversary of the Holocaust remembrance.”
Rev. Louie Locke Sr. closed the afternoon of prayer by asking for everyone to continue praying for the nation.
“Our nation is tremendously blessed,” he said. “But our nation is also in a time of need.”
Propster said this year he reached out to several community businesses and invited them to participate.
“We had Madeline’s Cookies, Raley’s, Maytan Music and Service Flags with us today. I’m stoked with how this turned out this year. God bless America.”

The Man Who Folded Himself
This is a book that’s been recommended to me off and on over the years. It’s in print again and after getting hooked on Gerrold’s War Against the Chtorr series last summer I read this back in January. I think I like Heinlein’s “By His Bootstraps” a little bit better, but this is definitely a keeper in the time-travel sub-genre. What it does nicely is to explore the human dimension relentlessly.

The Long Blondes guitarist Dorian Cox may yet return to making music – with the help of a "revolutionary" mechanical glove.
The Sheffield musician was left partially paralysed after a stroke this summer, prompting the Long Blondes to split and forcing Cox to give up playing the guitar. With the help of a SaeboFlex glove however, he is now regaining movement in his right hand.
"It's a fantastic service," he said of the regimen at the PhysioFunction centre in York. "It's helping tremendously and I think it can work wonders for me and others – it's almost like a gym for my hand."
The SaeboFlex supports the weakened wrist, hand and fingers, strengthening muscles and helping patients re-learn how to grasp and release objects. The device is entirely mechanical, using springs and levers instead of electricity.
"My right arm and leg aren't really usable so I can't play guitar," Cox explained to the Telegraph. "That was a nightmare because it meant the band couldn't carry on and my livelihood had suddenly gone."
The Long Blondes were one of the most hotly tipped British bands, still building a loyal fan base after two albums and a run of acclaimed singles. Cox's stroke was entirely unexpected – "I thought strokes only happened in older people," he said this week – and brought touring plans to a screeching halt.
"I know things might never be the same again and nobody can give me a definite answer about whether I'll play guitar again but I'm getting back on track," Cox said.

ESPN, Tennis Channel Get U.S. Open Cable Rights
ESPN and Tennis Channel secured the rights to present the U.S. Open, starting in 2009.
The six-year deal will give ESPN rights to broadcast the matches on all of its networks, most heavily on ESPN2, as well as on ESPN360.com, the network’s digital-video hub. ESPN2 will present approximately 100 hours of live coverage from the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens annually.
Tennis Channel will present more than 60 hours of live coverage, including two exclusive primetime blocks during the first Saturday and Sunday of the tournament. The network will also launch a nightly news and highlights program, U.S. Open Tonight, during the two-week event.
“Tennis has provided many memorable moments in ESPN history, and to finally acquire the excitement and drama of the U.S. Open is a crowning achievement, truly making ESPN2 ‘The Grand Slam Network,’” executive vice president of content John Skipper said. “The sport is a perfect fit for our growing digital businesses, and fans will know to find the best tennis action all year on ESPN2 and on ESPN360.com.”
The deal gives ESPN a “grand slam” of sorts: The network now broadcasts all four major worldwide tennis tournaments -- the Wimbledon Championships, the French Open, the Australian Open and the U.S. Open.
Prior to the new deal, USA Network had long been the home of U.S. Open coverage on cable, dating back to 1984.

Head on over to the Hoover Dam Museum and you can touch an actual core sample from the inner foundation of Hoover Dam!
That’s right – back in 1995, the engineers at Hoover Dam started to pull core samples out of the concrete base at the dam to view the integrity of what was there. They did this all through the 90’s and now do this every six to eight years. The cores actually show how the dam continues to gain strength and keep it steady.
Take a few minutes and wander into this local FREE treasure we have in town and run your fingers over this bad boy. It’s well worth a stop in to see what’s up at the Museum!

The deltaflow pitot is the portable counterpart of the deltaflow
DF 25 - and is the ideal sampling instrument for performing
integrated measurements according to DIN 2640 standards.
It possesses the same highly precise profile as the deltaflow
DF25 and is used to verify and calibrate existing measurements.
The deltaflow pitot is currently in use, for example, in
power plants - by measurement teams - and in the heating and
air conditioning industry (to test airflow efficiency, air
intake and exhaust, or to test the efficiency of ventilators).
Because the deltaflow pitot can be disassembled, it
can be comfortably transported in a carrying case. Its
straight construction design allows it to be easily
inserted into the sampling cross-section through previously-existing
The sampling profile is extremely impervious to pollution
or to the accumulation of condensation.
The highly durable stainless steel and the non-sealed design
resist temperatures of 1040°C in constant application and
can withstand temperatures of up to 1200°C for temporary measurements.

Kathmandu: Finance Minister Janardhan Sharma resigns from his post after recent controversy. He was alleged of using unauthorized people during the budget formulation.
Allegations were made against him for favouring a few business houses and attempting to hide evidence on CCTV footage. It is said that the CCTV had captured him meeting with business people at the ministry.
The minister failed to provide the CCTV footage of the meeting saying only 13 days of recording was possible to store, which raised questions about the government’s transparency.
However, according to the law, government agencies must maintain the CCTV footage for at least three months.
First, Sharma allegedly breached the norm of the budget formulation process in which the tax issues are considered sensitive to be disclosed to any unauthorised person prior to the budget announcement.
Second, he allegedly outlawed state rule by hiding the footage. Civil society and lawmakers have called this an ‘unethical move’.
The House of Representatives had earlier decided to form an 11-member parliamentary probe committee to investigate the issues.
Sharma announced his resignation during a parliament session on Wednesday, saying he has done nothing wrong. “However, I respect the house decision of forming a probe committee. I have decided to cooperate with the investigation. So, therefore, I step down from my position.”


The first thing to understand as airports try to bring service back online after the hurricane is just because an airport is open doesn’t mean there will be many flights.
- The airport may be tough to get to — not just for you, but for airline employees and for TSA also.
- Many of these employees evacuated the area too, so they have to return home.
What Miami Airport Normally Looks Like
- Planes are out of position. Airlines flew their aircraft out of the hurricane zone to protect them from damage. So aircraft need to get back to these airports.
When MIA Is Empty
- An airport that’s open isn’t the same thing as one operating at capacity.
- Aircraft coming from or going to affected airports will be doubly-impacted from both sides.
It’s going to take some time for operations to return to normal. However airports are re-opening sort of.

CREATING THE GIANT BUTTERFLY
I used patchwork and appliqué techniques, as well as a method cutting sewing big areas of fabric loosely together, cutting out portions, sewing different fabrics into the gaps and then repeating on a smaller and smaller scale. The result is very rich, textured based layer.
The body of the butterfly also integrates gorgeous sparkling jewels and studs. Many of them came from old clothing I don't wear anymore :)
The process to create this piece was hugely time consuming, but very rewarding.

The Wurrundjeri people once passed their winters near the Dandenong Ranges. They passed through the area en route to the Yarra Valley where they spent their summers on the banks of the Yarra River. Other sources place the Woiwurung people in the area prior to European settlement.
The first European known to set foot in the Dandenongs was botanist Daniel Bunce who was drawn from Melbourne by the image of the looming western slopes in 1839. Guided by a party of Aboriginal people he climbed Mt Corhanwarrabul (628 m) and Mt Dandenong (633 m) - the two highest peaks in the ranges. Burkes Lookout (see entry on Olinda) is now situated atop the former. Another botanist, Ferdinand von Mueller, who was responsible for the Melbourne Botanic Gardens, also explored the area in the 1850s.
From 1867 the local forests were logged by timbergetters, so much so that most of the timber reserve was considered exhausted by 1907 and the land was released for agriculture and settlement. Sherbrooke Forest was declared in 1958.
However, the popularity of the area as a destination for holidaymakers and nature lovers saw the first land reserved for recreational purposes in 1882 at Ferntree Gully. Many more reserves were declared in subsequent years and these were amalgamated and extended in 1987 as Dandenong Ranges National Park.
Of historical interest is the fact that poet C.J. Dennis camped at Kallista in an old tram where he worked on his famous publication, 'The Songs of a Sentimental Bloke'. Distinguished artist Tom Roberts has also resided here.
Community markets are held on the first Saturday of each month.

Allentown, the city that songwriter Billy Joel used as a symbol of 1980’s Rust Belt decline, is showing more signs of an economic revival powered by clean, renewable energy and new energy storage solutions. One indication came earlier this year, when hometown manufacturer International Battery announced that it won a new contract to supply lithium-ion batteries for NASA, for use in developing the space agency’s new “smart” energy storage systems. Now another manufacturer, Air Products, has announced plans to build a 1.5 megawatt solar installation that will provide about half the energy used in its corporate headquarters in Allentown, with the help of a state alternative energy grant.
Both of these projects illustrate the important role that government will play in the development of a safer and less risky energy future for the U.S., just as the government has provided billions to support the oil, coal and gas industries. Allentown is also an example of a city that supports private industry while also putting public sector resources to work for the public good, as aptly demonstrated by the city’s own photovoltaic installation at its public works department.
Chip in a few dollars a month to help support independent cleantech coverage that helps to accelerate the cleantech revolution!
International Battery and Future Energy Storage
Government research has been a critical driver of technological developments that cross over to the private sector (just look at the Internet). International Battery’s contract with NASA could help resolve key energy storage issues, which in turn would enable intermittent sources like solar and wind to generate a steady, reliable stream of power. For the icing on the cake, International Battery has developed a new water-based process for coating electrodes, a key step in the manufacture of lithium-ion batteries. The new process eliminates the use of toxic organic solvents and lowers costs by greatly reducing the need for specialized vapor recovery and waste disposal systems.
Air Products and Solar Power
Air Products is a gas-product specialist with a strong background in sustainability, and the company has been supplying raw materials for thin film solar panels and other types of solar cells for years, so it stands to reason that eventually it would get a solar installation of its own. Funding came in the form of a $1 million grant through Pennsylvania’s 2008 Alternative Energy Funding Bill. The 12-acre solar farm will begin construction this fall and is expected to be in operation early in 2011, upon which it is expected to reduce carbon emissions from the corporate headquarters by more than 1,000 tons annually. It will also alleviate the need to construct costly new conventional power plants in the future, should local companies like Air Products and International Battery continue to grow and bring more green jobs into the region.

Businesses far and wide are constantly looking for new ways to improve their operations to attract more customers and increase revenues. However, developing in-house software solutions is often too expensive and time-consuming. That's why most successful businesses adopt SaaS solutions designed to improve business processes.
While Software as Service solutions offer all kinds of benefits, their implementation still comes with challenges that complicate the integration process. Let's dig deeper into the world of SaaS and the process of adopting modern technologies in existing business processes.
Best SaaS Implementation Practices
Adoption and integration of new software solutions in existing business practices are never easy. The process can sometimes be very complicated because there's a lot of preparation and assessments involved. Businesses have to ensure that the SaaS solution fits their needs and budgets, but they also have to consider the benefits they provide and the limits of existing systems.
You need a detailed SaaS implementation plan to ensure that everything goes as smoothly as possible. The implementation process is also known as the onboarding stage, and it requires you to provide the vendor with a detailed overview of existing processes, business goals, and timelines. The preparation stage goes both ways, as the vendor will provide details of the implementation procedures and other tools. Here are some tips on how to get the most value from implementing new SaaS solutions into your business operation.
1. Focus on Core Features First
Most SaaS solutions offer all kinds of advanced features that can help improve various business processes. While that might seem like a plus, it's often the cause of complex implementations. The more features you want to adopt, the harder it becomes to implement everything properly.
That's why you should focus on implementing core features first. You have to sit down and create a detailed inventory of all assets at your disposal. Once that is done, plan the integration process, considering only the solutions that improve core processes. Leave the "nice-to-haves" for later to avoid getting lost in the implementation process.
As mentioned above, nonessential features and functionalities will only complicate your SaaS implementation strategy and lead to delays and unforeseen costs. Your team members will also have a hard time picking everything up, so you're better off starting smaller. You can add new features and extend the SaaS solution at any time in the future. Again, remember to plan everything out before you adopt any new features.
2. Embrace the Change
The change in management often leads to complete confusion and chaos for many companies. You have to hire team members with the right skills to make the SaaS adoption as simple as possible. The key here is to make the new team members feel welcomed, to speed up the adoption process.
However, doing that is sometimes easier said than done. You'll have to provide your existing staff with detailed steps and behaviors they have to adapt to simplify the adoption process. Moreover, provide your staff with a simple communication channel where they can exchange ideas and have full access to documentation.
On the other hand, you'll also have to keep your stakeholders and other key people in the loop at all times. Provide team members with regular, transparent updates on the implementation process, and ensure that everyone is on the same page at all times. Lastly, don't forget that your user engagement requirements will also change, so you will probably have to change your engagement methods as well.
3. Create Specific Roles for Team Members
Another essential step in creating a good SaaS implementation strategy is giving out specific roles to team members. This is a critical step, as you want to ensure that you give the decision-making power to the right people. You want a strict top-down chain of command for everything to work. Otherwise, the wrong people might be making key decisions, which leads to longer implementation periods, and other complications.
For a SaaS implementation strategy to work, every team member has to be clear about their obligations. The key here is to make them feel empowered and essential for the company. That will help improve their decision-making and lead to better results. Of course, you can't expect every decision they make to be perfect, but you should always ensure that the decisions are made according to company values and goals.
Lastly, you want your teams to report everything, including bad news. No one likes bad news, but open communication is key to success. If your teams fail to report bad news, you will probably face unexpected costs down the road. That's why teams have to inform you about every error or mistake as soon as possible.

4. Promote Clear Communication Across All Departments
Once the SaaS implementation process starts, all teams and team members must pull their weight. Informing everyone about the SaaS implementation strategy won't be enough. You want to reach out to your employees and team members regularly to ensure that they understand what's going on. Moreover, you will get the best results if you promote cross-department partnerships and communication.
Partnering up helps improve communication by promoting open communication between teams and departments. It helps create a common language, ensuring that everyone involved is in tune with the plans and company expectations. Try to use colloquial language, without IT and SaaS-related jargon, to ensure that everyone understands what is being said. Keep building stronger relationships between the people involved, and the implementation will lead to better outcomes and a more flexible operation.
5. Plan and Rehearse Go-Live Events
The SaaS implementation strategy largely depends on good system preparation. That's why you should rehearse go-live events multiple times before actually launching new features. Many businesses make the mistake of not planning for all potential pitfalls during go-live events.
If you want the implementation to succeed the first time, you should triple-check every process and system before a go-live event. Yes, that might lead to longer downtimes, but even that is more acceptable than going over the entire process after an unsuccessful go-live event.
The best approach is to organize regular sit downs with stakeholders and partners to uncover potential problems and rehearse different scenarios that might unfold during implementation. Once you make sure that everyone is on the same page, you can start the go-live event.
As you can see, many different considerations go into creating a SaaS implementation strategy. Good SaaS implementation rests on open communication, detailed preparation, and countless rehearsals.
SaaS solutions can help you improve your business operation, but only when set up correctly. Remember to focus only on the key SaaS features first, and extend your implementation with other features only after the backbone is up and running. Now, start looking for your ideal SaaS solution and prepare your company for the future!

Contribution of life in soil ‘remains largely underestimated’, says UN agriculture agency
#UN; #ClimateCange; #SoilOrganisms; #FAO; #BiologicalDiversity; #SoilBiodiversity
UN/Canadian-Media: Even though soil organisms play a crucial role in boosting food production, enhancing nutritious diets, preserving human health, and combating climate change, the real contribution of these tiny life forms remains largely underestimated, the UN agriculture agency (FAO) said on Dec 4.
Ahead of World Soil Day, marked on 5 December, FAO launched its first-ever report on “The State of Knowledge of Soil Biodiversity”. The report examines the potential of soil organisms in ensuring sustainable agri-food systems and mitigating climate change.
“Soil biodiversity and sustainable soil management is a prerequisite for the achievement of many of the Sustainable Development Goals”, said FAO Deputy Director-General Maria Helena Semedo. “Therefore, data and information on soil biodiversity, from the national to the global level, are necessary in order to efficiently plan management strategies on a subject that is still poorly known”, she added.
According to the report, despite the fact biodiversity loss is at the forefront of global concerns, biodiversity below ground is not being given the prominence it deserves and needs to be fully considered when planning how best to boost sustainable development.
“We hope that the knowledge contained in this report will facilitate the assessment of the state of soil biodiversity as an integral part of national- and regional-level biodiversity reporting and any soil surveys”, Ms. Semedo advanced.
Being one of the main ‘global reservoirs’ of biodiversity, soils host more than 25 percent of the world’s biological diversity. In addition, more than 40 percent of living organisms in terrestrial ecosystems are associated with soils during their life cycle.
The report defines soil biodiversity as the variety of life belowground, from genes and animal species to the communities they form, as well as the ecological complexes to which they contribute and to which they belong; from soil micro-habitats to landscapes.


Microphones caught journalists waiting for Donald Trump to arrive at the E. Barrett Prettyman Courthouse in Washington D.C. joking about the former president being assassinated on Tuesday.
Trump is attending the D.C. Court of Appeals to hear the opening oral arguments in his appeal against Jack Smith’s efforts to prosecute him over January 6th, and journalists gathered outside the courthouse in substantial numbers ahead of his arrival.
Two of them could be heard in live feeds joking about having a “good shot” at the America First leader when he arrived, particularly if he showed up driving a convertible like the one the late President John F. Kennedy was riding in when he was shot in the head in 1963:
First Journalist: You know what the worst part is? Even if he has his window open and he’s hanging out of it, he will be on the other side of the street.
Second Journalist: I mean, if he’s driving, we’ve got a good shot!
First Journalist: Yeah, if he’s driving with the front window open?
Second Journalist: Yeah, or if it’s a convertible?
First Journalist: Yeah. I wasn’t thinking about that.
Second Journalist: Yeah. Like if he just pulls up–
First Journalist: Like JFK?
Second Journalist: (laughs)
First Journalist: Maybe someone, just like they told JFK. You know what you should do? You should take a convertible! It’s so nice out!
Trump’s hearing is being overseen by a panel of two Joe Biden-appointed judges and one George H. W. Bush-appointed judge.
His lawyers argue the Smith prosecution amounts to double jeopardy, as Trump was already tried and acquitted over January 6th by the U.S. Senate, and that Smith is also violating the principle of presidential immunity for official acts.

Ronytr's Review of Barbecue Recipes HdReviewed on 10/30/19 2:11 PM
App will not operate at all!!!!!
UnderSurvillance's Review of Barbecue Recipes HdReviewed on 10/30/19 2:11 PM
I was looking for an app that focused on grilling and smoking BBQ. This app does have plenty of grilling recipes. There are a large amount of recipes that you cook in your kitchen and have nothing to do with bbq'ing. The description for this app was hard to follow because of the grammatical errors. One sentence leads you to believe this app offers 1000's of recipes and the next leads you thing there are even 100's I was fine with 100's. The truth is the list consists of 177 and a few of those are actually tips. I am glad this was only 99 cents. The BBQ recipes I have looked at have very very basic ingredients and aren't any kind of a stretch or attempt at great bbq'ing. I was looking for something new and didn't find it. I am sure plenty of these recipes will be delicious. Overall, from my first review of this app, I am not real impressed. After making some of these, I will submit another review that is better if I find them good.

In a recent phone call from a prospective tenant, Robert’s last question of me was, “So, do you rent to felons?” When I asked what his felony was, he replied, “Strangulation.” I told him I’d have to talk to my owner, and suggested he call me back in a couple days. (I’m the owner, of course, but keeping that fact private has saved me time, stress and hassle through the years.)
HUD Secretary Julian Castro recently released a 10-page statement, warning property managers, agents and landlords they can be held liable for discrimination if they deny tenancy because of criminal records.
He wants to protect the fair housing rights of people who are re-entering the housing market after leaving prison. He claims that colorblind policies — like screening all applicants for criminal background checks — have a discriminatory disparate impact on minorities that are arrested at rates higher than their proportion of the general population.
So, even though barring tenancy to felons serves a nondiscriminatory, legitimate purpose for our neighborhoods, we may be putting ourselves at risk to do so!
And although Robert never called me back, let’s assume I had rented to him, and three months later, he fought with and strangled my tenant on the other side of the double. Was it my responsibility to protect the neighbors? Would that tenant have the right to sue me for negligence?
Although I’ve given second chances to some who’ve had run-ins with the law, I’ve always had a policy of not renting to people with felonies. I’m a single woman, I work alone much of the time, and I care deeply about my neighborhoods and tenants. With this new missive from HUD, maybe a conversation with my real estate attorney is in order …

On the first of July in 1927 Canada celebrated Dominion Day, as it was known then, and also its Sixtieth or Diamond Jubilee. It was a huge nationwide celebration to recognize sixty years of Confederation. Ten years earlier, in 1917, Canada and many of the countries around the globe were mired in World War I so celebration of our fiftieth anniversary went by with little fanfare which made this Jubilee such a great celebration of Canada. The Canadian government commissioned a few medals to recognize the country’s sixtieth Jubilee and a gold example of one, courtesy of www.jacoblipsonrarecoins.com in Ottawa, is pictured here.
A smaller bronze medal of similar design was produced in large numbers to be distributed to schoolchildren who participated in celebration events across the country. They were originally handed out in small envelopes and examples of these will sell for a few dollars for an average medal to perhaps $20 for a nice original piece with its envelope. The example pictured is a 22 karat gold medal, 36 millimetres in diameter and weighs over 46 grams. It features jugate portraits of King George V and Queen Mary with CONFEDERATION above and CANADA below, with the dates 1867 to the left and 1927 to the right. The reverse shows the Canadian coat of arms with “A MARI USQUE AD MARE” (From sea to sea) on a scroll below. The medal is a superb example of great rarity! They produced this also in bronze and silver and they were presented in a light blue case with darker blue velvet interior. The mintage of the bronze medal was 1840 while 600 of the silver medals were made. The number of gold examples is unknown but certainly less than 100 and the consensus is that fewer than 20 are thought to exist and only a handful have been in auctions in the last two decades.
Bronzes generally bring between $75 and $150 depending on the condition and the original case. A silver example would fetch $250-350 and the gold, which was recently purchased by Jacob Lipson is listed for $4500 with great photos and descriptions of the medal and case. I have just learned that it may already be sold. Stay safe and healthy and Happy Hunting.

Resolving the degradation pathways of the O3-type layered oxide cathode surface through the nano-scale aluminum oxide coating for high-energy density sodium-ion batteries†
A surface-modified O3-type Na[Ni0.6Co0.2Mn0.2]O2 cathode was synthesized by Al2O3 nanoparticle coating using a simple dry ball-milling route. The nanoscale Al2O3 particles (∼15 nm in diameter) densely covering the spherical O3-type Na[Ni0.6Co0.2Mn0.2]O2 cathode particles effectively minimized parasitic reactions with the electrolyte solution while assisting Na+ migration. The proposed Al2O3 coated Na[Ni0.6Co0.2Mn0.2]O2 cathode exhibited a high specific capacity of 151 mA h g−1, as well as improved cycling stability and rate capability in a half cell. Furthermore, the Al2O3 coated cathode was scaled up to a pouch-type full cell using a hard carbon anode that exhibited a superior rate capability and capacity retention of 75% after 300 cycles with a high energy density of 130 W h kg−1. In addition, the post-mortem surface characterization of the cathodes from the long-term cycled full cells helped in identifying the exact mechanism of the surface reaction with the electrolyte and the reason for its subsequent degradation and showed that the nano-scale Al2O3 coating layer was effective at resolving the degradation pathways of the cathode surface from hydrogen fluoride (HF) attack.

I am so happy when I finally meet the love of my life. Someone to make me feel like I am the lucky one in the world. I am satisfied with her existence in my life, because of her, I feel so keen to face through all the challenges in life. It’s beautiful when we have someone to make us feel safe in this world. Finding comfort is wonderful. Perhaps, to feel in love is the most beautiful feeling, you have someone to make you feel happy when you are sad. Someone to support you, and give you everything big or small. Life is tough, but having someone with you will light your experience.
Many times I dream to have a big and happy family. A kind of experience I have not tried. I feel so sad about what happened to my family. When you see other people who are happy with their lives, together with their family made me realize that I was so needy of love and happiness. Sometimes I would ask God, “Why those simple things in life were denied on me?” I hated my life, the people and everything around me. I am so cynical and sometimes wish to die. Who would love to be alive when your surroundings are chaos? I was eight years old when my dad left us. We lived in New York City before, we rent a house and having a good life. They barely fight with each other. I don’t wake up each day, hearing hurtful words throwing at each other, slamming the door and screaming. I know that this won’t last. I cried every day about it; I always pray that our family won’t get broken. Until one day, my mom was rushed into the hospital, she was severely beaten, and dad disappears after that incident. My mom recovery was slow; she still had terrible memories she keeps on remembering. I have to go on with my life, I study hard and work for our living. We are out of the house because we can’t pay the rent anymore. We moved to Dagenham to live with a small house given by my auntie. And we were so grateful by that. Years passed, I graduated from college, but my mom’s illness gets worse. I was so down when the doctor said she needs surgery. The night of operation, I feel so anxious, I book a Dagenham escort from https://charlotteaction.org/dagenham-escorts to accompany me. She is beautiful and did make me happy. We keep the communication; I am so positive in life when she comes. I slowly uplift our family and had my mother’s treatment. It was A Dagenham Escort that gives light to my world

How Can Mobile And 3D Objects Change People’s lives?
With portable devices like smartphones and tablets we’re always connected to the Internet. And since these devices are becoming more and more advanced, we are also able to use more complex tools on the go. At NEXT Berlin 2012, Hilde Sevens (Autodesk) discussed the changes that were triggered by these developments.
“Mobile and web technology have rocked our world, changing it forever, as our tools are now available from anywhere, at any time, with access from a global community,” she explains. This makes it not only easier to connect with friends, but also with professionals from all around the world. It enables new forms of working, collaborating and producing.
With this in mind, new techniques of customisation like 3D printing appear to have even greater potential. In her talk Sevens sketches the paradigm change that is currently occurring: empowering people and “unlocking the creativity in everyone,” as she puts it.

Horror movies love to corrupt good things. Of course, it is hard to build a film around an evil apple pie, but it is much easier plum the dark side of motherhood. Rosemary’s Baby remains the champion at this, but tons of flicks tried to follow its example. Some were even pretty good, such as Aneesh Chaganty’s Run, Franz & Fiala’s Goodnight Mommy, and Stewart Thorndike’s Lyle. It is debatable whether this is a proper horror film or rather a dark thriller, since it really isn’t scary, despite the sinister turn an expected mother’s pregnancy takes in John Lee’s False Positive, which premieres this Friday on Hulu.
Lucy and her doctor husband Adrian Martin have been trying to get pregnant for two straight years with no success. Finally, he books her an appointment with his old colleague, ultra-arrogant fertility specialist Dr. John Hindle and voila. She’s not just pregnant. She has two healthy boy twins and a smaller, iffy-looking girl. Of course, Hindle and her husband want to abort the girl because you know, patriarchy. (Ironically, their arguments are much like those used by abortion advocates in the abortion debate.)
After the insert-your-own-term-here, everything should be fine, but she feels off physically and emotionally. Martin starts experiencing strange dreams and visions, but nobody takes her concerns seriously. Instead, she finds herself increasingly alienated from her supposed support system.
Of course, you can easily guess some of the skullduggery, because it is mandated by the film’s sexual politics. That is the problem with polemical films. They are so inevitably predictable. Fortunately, Lee and cinematographer Pavel Pogorzelski crafted some nicely eerie-looking scenes, which makes the film watchable. Honestly, if you are okay with laughing through Pierce Brosnan’s smug, preening villainy, then the film is a fair amount of fun.
Rosemary’s Baby, whose influence on this film is impossible to miss). In contrast, Ilana Glazer goes all-in breaking down, cracking-up, and lashing-out as the slightly stressed Martin. Zainab Jah adds some nice dimension and provides about the only understated performance as the holistic midwife she seeks out. However, the real star is Gretchen Mol, who is responsible for a lion’s share of the entertainment as Hindle’s wildly psychotic head nurse.
This is exactly the sort of film critics overhype and over-praise just to make a point. It is a mess and it never delivers any real scares. However, if you are looking for an over-heated and overwrought dark thriller, it definitely comes through with the frenzied psychodrama. Recommended for fans of Mommie Dearest, False Positive starts streaming this Friday (6/25) on Hulu.


The Boston Bruins will be playing Game 5 of their first-round matchup of the Stanley Cup Playoffs Saturday night. Fans think this team has what it takes to go all the way.
The Bruins are currently up 3-1 in the best-of-seven series over the Toronto Maple Leafs. A win Saturday will clinch the series for the Bruins; that would advance the Bruins to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time since the 2013-2014 season.
Jared Goss of Chicopee, who was at Game 2 of the series, told 22News he thinks that if everyone stays healthy, this team will have a deep run in the playoffs.
“Everyone’s gotta stay healthy, Tuuka Rask really has to play good,” Goss said. “They’re a young team, very aggressive and they have the best veterans on their team, I think they’re going to go all the way.”
If the Bruins win their series, they will play the winner of the first-round series between the Tampa Bay Lightning and New Jersey Red Devils in the second round.
Puck drop for Saturday’s game is scheduled for 8 p.m in Boston. You can watch the game on 22News.


SEATTLE — The Seattle Office of Housing is investing $60 million to help build 600 new apartment units of permanent housing for the homeless in response to COVID-19.
Mayor Jenny Durkan announced the news Wednesday and said it will help bring more people inside during the public health crisis.
Officials said the new homes will be in addition to the 3,700 permanent supportive housing units currently in service and the more than 350 units under construction that have been awarded funding.
“The City of Seattle is making a significant investment to create more housing in our community,” Durkan said in a news release. “With this investment, we are breaking the mold by developing new innovative strategies to build even more permanent supportive housing, more quickly for our neighbors who need it most.”
Officials said the $60 million is coming from the Seattle Housing Levy and will be leveraged with state and federal resources to help build and operate the units.

When it comes to holiday lighting, C9 LED bulbs are becoming increasingly popular. These energy-efficient bulbs offer a variety of benefits over traditional incandescent bulbs, making them a smart choice for any holiday lighting display. In this article, we will explore the advantages of C9 LED bulbs and why you should consider making the switch.
One of the main advantages of C9 LED bulbs is their energy efficiency. LED bulbs use significantly less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs, which means you can save money on your energy bill while still enjoying a beautifully lit holiday display. In fact, LED bulbs use up to 80% less energy than incandescent bulbs, making them a more environmentally friendly option as well.
LED bulbs are also known for their durability. Unlike traditional bulbs, which are made of fragile glass, LED bulbs are made of sturdy plastic. This makes them less likely to break or shatter, making them a safer option for outdoor holiday lighting. Additionally, LED bulbs are resistant to extreme temperatures, making them suitable for use in both hot and cold climates.
Another advantage of C9 LED bulbs is their longevity. LED bulbs have a much longer lifespan than traditional bulbs, with some lasting up to 25,000 hours. This means you won't have to replace your bulbs as often, saving you time and money in the long run. LED bulbs also have a lower failure rate, so you can trust that your holiday display will stay lit throughout the season.
Variety of Colors
C9 LED bulbs come in a wide variety of colors, allowing you to create a unique and vibrant holiday display. From classic red and green to more modern options like blue and purple, there is a color to suit every style and preference. You can even mix and match colors to create a one-of-a-kind display that will stand out in your neighborhood.
If you have a large holiday display or want to stock up on bulbs for future use, LED c9 bulbs bulk options are available. Buying in bulk can save you money and ensure that you have enough bulbs for all of your holiday lighting needs. You can also purchase bulk packs of specific colors, such as red c9 LED replacement bulbs, to easily replace any burnt out bulbs in your display.
While LED bulbs may have a higher upfront cost than traditional bulbs, they are ultimately more cost-effective in the long run. With their energy efficiency, durability, and longevity, you will save money on your energy bill and replacement bulbs. Plus, with bulk options available, you can save even more money by purchasing in larger quantities.
In conclusion, C9 LED bulbs offer a variety of advantages over traditional incandescent bulbs.

Cyprus to export citrus to UAEStaff writer ▼ | September 9, 2014
Cypriot citrus fruit producers are turning to the United Arab Emirates and other Gulf countries in an attempt to find alternative markets to export their products and tackle the effects of the Russian embargo.
United Arab Emirates Turning to the Gulf region
"This is the first of a series of meetings intended to open new markets for local agricultural producers," said Mr. Kuyalis after the meeting. He added that their aim is to establish long-term cooperation with the countries of the Gulf region in the export of citrus fruits, potatoes, vegetables and dairy products.
Mr. Kuyali also said to be preparing future meetings with Turkish producers and importing companies operating in the Gulf region.
The Russian embargo imposed on the EU will cause Cyprus around 13.5 million dollars in losses. Of these, 10.7 million dollars come from the export of citrus fruits. ■

Eliminating Shades of Gray in Anatomy: 7 Personalized Healthcare Tests
Doctors currently look at a patient’s symptoms and then create a treatment plan based on what works for the majority of people with similar symptoms. The problem with this is that there are some patients who don’t respond to the same treatment plan that works for the majority. However, the industry is starting to change, thanks to the introduction of personalized healthcare.
Personalized healthcare is an approach to medicine that takes into account a person’s genetic or biological profile before creating a treatment plan. It changes the healthcare industry for the better because patients receive care tailored to their unique genetic makeup. There’s still a lot of research that needs to be done, but take a look at these seven personalized healthcare tests that are currently being researched and developed.
The idea behind biomarker scans is to predict a diagnosis, such as dementia, Alzheimer’s, or even depression, before it happens. Then, treatment can be given before there’s irreversible mental decline. Biomarker scans involve looking at brain PET scans and blood protein tests to determine if cognitive behavioral therapy or antidepressants are a better treatment for a patient. It’s all about early intervention, but it could be a standard test at some point in the future.
Genetics is the process of tracing traits transferred from parents to offspring. For instance, studies show that people are more likely to have certain cancers if their parents had cancer. Genetics can be studied on any living organism, including plants. As a matter of fact, farmers use genetics to improve crops by selecting seeds from the best producing plants. Animal breeders have used genetics for centuries to choose the best animals to breed based on parental traits. Genetics are great indicators of many things such as tastes. For example somebody might like certain jewelry like seen at Pearlsonly and others might have different jewelry.
Pharmacogenomics is the study of how a person responds to drugs. It helps healthcare professionals tailor medication to the safest, most effective doses. It’s all based on a person’s genetic makeup, rather than what works for the majority of people.
Every person has a unique genome that’s made up of DNA. Genometics is the study of the genome and how different chromosomes affect it. Some aspects of the genome are altered through proteins, which is how it’s used to treat certain medical conditions. The first human genome sequencing took 13 years, but we’ve come a long way since then.
Several tech companies have recently invested in genome research, such as Intel, Sony, Samsung, Google, IBM, Dell, and Intel Corp. Genometrics is expected to play a huge role in personalized healthcare someday.
Liver-enzyme tests detect damage and inflammation to the liver through a series of blood tests. It’s currently used as a routine lab test to check the function of a patient’s liver. However, it can be used in personalized healthcare to show whether a person is a carrier for certain genetic diseases. This helps doctors watch more closely for symptoms and prescribe treatments before a disease even presents itself. Liver-enzyme tests are also used to determine the dose of medicine a patient needs.
Matabonomics is the study of how the body responds to drugs and nutrition to treat diseases. NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry tests are used to detect and analyze metabolites. However, this personalized healthcare test has a long way to go before it’ll be effective because it’s hard to catch the rapid biochemical processes because intracellular metabolites have a half-life of one second or less.
Proteomics is the study of protein structures and functions. It is more complicated that genomics because the proteome of cells differs from time to time while the genome stays the same. Proteomics also combines the genome and proteome for a more complete look at a person’s metabolic system. However, it used the same way in personalized healthcare; it helps predict diseases so prevention treatments can be put in place.
Some of these personalized healthcare tests are already available to the public. With time and research, the tests will get better and better. True personalized healthcare will be a reality in the near future.

The Bible states in Isaiah 26
Amplified Bible (AMP)
26 In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
“We have a strong city;
He sets up salvation as walls and ramparts.
“Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter,
The one that remains faithful and trustworthy.
“You will keep in perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is steadfast [that is, committed and focused on You—in both inclination and character],
Because he trusts and takes refuge in You [with hope and confident expectation].
“Trust [confidently] in the Lord forever [He is your fortress, your shield, your banner],
For the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages].
“For He has thrown down the [arrogant] ones who dwell on high, the lofty and inaccessible city;
He lays it low, He lays it low to the ground, He hurls it to the dust.
“The foot will trample it,
Even the feet of the suffering, and the steps of the helpless.”
The way of the righteous [those in right-standing with God—living in moral and spiritual integrity] is smooth and level;
O Upright One, make a level path for the just and righteous.
Indeed, in the path of Your judgments, O Lord,
We have waited expectantly for You;
Your name, even Your memory, is the desire and deep longing of our souls.
In the night my soul longs for You [O Lord],
Indeed, my spirit within me seeks You diligently;
For [only] when Your judgments are experienced on the earth
Will the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
Though the wicked is shown compassion and favor,
He does not learn righteousness;
In the land of uprightness he deals unjustly,
And refuses to see the majesty of the Lord.
Though Your hand is lifted up [to strike], O Lord, the wicked do not see it.
Let them see Your zeal for Your people and be put to shame;
Indeed, let the fire reserved for Your enemies consume them.
Lord, You will establish peace for us,
Since You have also performed for us all that we have done.
O Lord our God, other masters besides You have ruled over us;
But through You alone we confess Your name.
The [wicked] dead will not live [again], the spirits of the dead will not rise and return;
Therefore You have punished and destroyed them,
And You have wiped out every memory of them [every trace of them].
You have increased the nation, O Lord;
You have increased the nation, You are glorified;
You have extended all the borders of the land.
O Lord, they sought You in distress;
They managed only a prayerful whisper
When Your discipline was upon them.
As a woman with child approaches the time to give birth,
She is in pain and struggles and cries out in her labor,
So we were before You, O Lord.
We have been with child, we have twisted and struggled in labor;
We gave birth, as it seems, only to wind.
We could not accomplish salvation for the earth,
Nor were inhabitants of the world born.
Your dead will live;
Their dead bodies will rise.
You who lie in the dust, awake and shout for joy!
For your dew is a dew of [celestial] light [heavenly, supernatural],
And the earth will give birth to the spirits of the dead.
Come, my people, enter your chambers
And shut your doors behind you;
Hide for a little while
Until the [Lord’s] wrath is past.
Listen carefully, the Lord is about to come out of His [heavenly] place
To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their wickedness [their sin, their injustice, their wrongdoing];
The earth will reveal the [innocent] blood shed upon her
And will no longer cover her slain.

PRAY FOR MORE PEOPLE TO HAVE A HEART FOR THE LOST
RECEIVE GOD’S GIFT TO YOU – THE LORD JESUS CHRIST –
DEAR JESUS, I COME BEFORE YOU JUST AS I AM. I AM SORRY FOR ALL MY SINS AND I REPENT OF ALL MY SINS, (choose to turn away from my sins), PLEASE FORGIVE ME. JESUS, IN YOUR NAME I FORGIVE ALL OTHERS FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE AGAINST ME. I RENOUNCE SATAN AND ALL THE EVIL SPIRITS AND ALL THEIR WORKS. JESUS, I GIVE YOU MY ENTIRE SELF NOW AND FOREVER. JESUS, I INVITE YOU INTO MY LIFE AND I ACCEPT YOU AS MY SAVIOR, GOD AND LORD. PLEASE HEAL ME, CHANGE ME, STRENGTHEN ME IN BODY, SOUL AND SPIRIT. COME LORD JESUS, COVER ME WITH YOUR PRECIOUS BLOOD THAT WAS SHED AS A SACRIFICE FOR ME. FILL ME WITH YOUR HOLY SPIRIT. JESUS, I LOVE YOU, I PRAISE YOU, I THANK YOU AND I SHALL FOLLOW YOU ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE! AMEN!
THE BIBLE STATES IN ROMANS 10:9-11
THAT IF YOU CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH JESUS AS LORD, AND BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT GOD RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, YOU SHALL BE SAVED; FOR WITH THE HEART MAN BELIEVES, RESULTING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND WITH THE MOUTH HE CONFESSES, RESULTING IN SALVATION. FOR THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, “WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
