How Diabetes Insipidus Affects Dogs
Diabetes insipidus is not common in companion animals. However, because the primary clinical sign is production and excretion of abnormally large amounts of urine, when it does happen, owners tend to take notice. Although there are a number of things that can cause or contribute to diabetes insipitus, the symptoms in domestic dogs typically are the same.
Symptoms of Diabetes Insipidus
Dogs with diabetes insipidus may develop one or more of the following symptoms:
- Passage of abnormally large amounts of urine (polyuria)
- Passage of abnormally dilute urine (urine with low specific gravity)
- Extreme thirst
- Abnormally increased water intake (polydipsia)
- Inappropriate elimination (loss of housetraining; urinating in inappropriate places; may be perceived by owners as incontinence)
- Loss of coordination (ataxia)
Dogs at Increased Risk
There is no breed, age or gender predisposition in companion dogs for the development of diabetes insipidus. However, dogs with congenital or nephrogenic diabetes insipidus are frequently diagnosed by 6 to 12 months of age, while dogs with central diabetes insipidus (especially if it is related to pituitary tumors) are usually not diagnosed until they are quite a bit older – on average, over 5 years of age.

NEWBURGH – Chanting slogans like “Maloney, don’t be a climate phony,” a group of local residents and climate activists marched on Representative Sean Patrick Maloney’s district office last week to urge him to oppose the controversial plan to build a massive fracked gas power plant in Newburgh.
“Congressman Maloney cannot claim to fight climate change while supporting the Danskammer fracked gas plant expansion being proposed here on the Hudson River,” said Andrew Pezzullo of Food & Water Watch. “He’s on the record against building any new fossil fuel infrastructure. If he breaks his word, his constituents will call him out for being a climate phony.”
“There is no need for the energy that this proposed plant expansion will provide. Our energy needs are projected to continue decreasing into the foreseeable future, thanks to ever-increasing efficiency and the promise of improved transmission capability. To support the Danskammer plant expansion is to place the profit of the few over the health of the public and the planet,” added Nick Page, Dutchess County Legislator District 18.
The advocates pointed out that Rep. Maloney must be more consistent in his climate and clean energy positions. He has supported the Green New Deal Resolution and co-sponsored the Off Fossil Fuels Act, which calls for a rapid transition to clean energy and an end to new fossil fuel projects. But he recently remarked that he has no objections to the Danskammer fracked gas expansion.
Newburgh Clean Water Project member Tamsin Hollo: “The cumulative heath impacts of the PCBs in the Hudson, the lead in our paint and pipes, the PFOS polluting our soil and drinking water, in addition to the 40,000,000 lbs of pollution generated annually by this proposed fracked gas plant, are simply too great for one community to bear. The adjacent town of Marlborough will receive the tax benefits of this plant, just as the Town of Newburgh creates property tax revenue by developing every inch of our unprotected watershed. We receive none of the cash, but are forced to shoulder the devastating effects. We’re at our limit. Enough is enough.”
“If built, Danskammer Energy’s new fracked-gas facility will burn fossil fuel year-round for decades to come. Located in a highly flood-prone area, this is a fool-hardy investment on the part of Wall Street, one which will ultimately be paid for by New York ratepayers,” said Manna Jo Greene, Environmental Director for Hudson River Sloop Clearwater.
The action was led by Food & Water Watch, Newburgh Clean Water Project, NYPIRG, Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, Sunrise Movement, Orange Residents Against Pilgrim Pipelines, Mothers Out Front and Sane Energy Project.
After marching from City Hall to Maloney’s office, the activists delivered over 500 in-district petitions urging him to oppose the plant, and a recent Food & Water Watch report highlighting the dangers of fracking and the need to stop all fossil fuel infrastructure (The Fracking Endgame: Locked into Plastics, Pollution and Climate Chaos).

STATE BUDGET: It's double trouble for ferry system
Sun | Local
* The ferry task force has recommended a $275 million capital budget, of which only $76 million is currently available.
The state ferry system is doubly stricken. Its operating budget is bleeding; the capital program has cancer.
Operations suffers the more lurid ailment. If crews aren't paid or fuel purchased, the boats stop sailing this summer. Riders, who will pay higher fares to prevent that from happening, feel the pain.
A much greater capital shortfall, though not surrounded by the same fare frenzy, could prove more devastating in the long run as boats and terminals wear out.
While the loss of the motor vehicle excise tax took a 20 percent bite out of operations, it gouged capital by 82 percent.
The Joint Legislative Task Force on Ferries recommended a $275 million capital budget for the 2001-03 biennium. Washington State Ferries can put its hands on all of the $36 million in gas taxes. Some $49 million in debt payments will more than wipe that out.
Another $40 million in federal dollars is available, provided WSF has matching funds. That leaves nearly $200 million to dig up.
"Something obviously has to be done about our capital program or we as a ferry system are in terrible trouble," WSF acting director Terry McCarthy said.
The good news is that Gov. Gary Locke's proposed budget provides that level of funding.
"There's already a stake pounded in the ground," said Ashley Probart, who chaired the ferry task force's subcommittee on capital. The Legislature has something to go by.
Some $167 million of the $226 million (after debt payments) would maintain existing facilities. Vessels average 31 years old; terminals more than 30.
About $63 million per biennium would go toward four new car ferries to replace the steel-electrics, which were built in 1927. It takes six to eight years to design and build vessels, and the steel-electrics are due to retire by 2010.
Aging passenger-only ferries Skagit and Kalama would be sold and replaced by one better used boat. Terminals at Mukilteo and Anacortes would be upgraded at an average cost of $41 million per biennium for 10 years.
In general, the task force recommended that the Legislature fund the ferry capital program to a level that would catch up and keep up with maintenance needed to keep existing service on the water and replace aging vessels as needed. Expansion, at least for now, is out of the question.
Condition ratings for Coast Guard-regulated systems should be raised from 79 percent to between 90 percent and 100 percent, and improving other systems' ratings from 66 percent to 70 percent by 2011.
Other task force recommendations include:
* A $340 million operating budget for the 2001-03 biennium. That's about $84 more than what's available. But $40 million is committed - though not guaranteed - from the general fund and $25 million is expected to come from increased fares, leaving operations $15 million short.
* It is unlikely that WSF could recover 100 percent of operating costs from fares. It could likely recover 80 percent. It currently collects 62 percent.
* Passenger-only ferries collect 30 percent. The task force recommended that their fares be doubled and then increased at the same rate as car ferries. That would achieve farebox recovery comparable to car ferries and dissuade further Legislative urges to dismantle the program.

Adoption Of Horticultural Science
The aim is to generate high yielding varieties using seeds cultivated in controlled environments following traceability norms and using trained personnel. The use of clonal gardens and grafting ensures homogeneity.
The in-house ability to generate better performing vegetal matter has meant that intenstification is now a reality. Since 2013/2014, Ivory Coast has seen a 66% rise in land area for cocoa but yield per HA has remained stagnant (500 KG/HA). A production that uses far too much land for minimal yields has led to deforestation and low prices. By planting at 2200 trees/HA compared to national average (1000 - 1500 trees/HA), we achieve better yields using far less land.
Irrigation = perene, stable production.
There are dedicated irrigation units for each plantation. There are currently, two separate installations that service each site (electrified). Water from nearby river is surface-pumped, filtered then stored. A storage capacity of more than 2000 cu.m. On the plantation, there is a use of Precision based micro-irrigation (drip system). Use state of the art soil monitoring devices helps measure humidity.
Constant soil monitoring is carried out using onsite soil labs and in-house pedologists. The aim is to determine the impact of the activity on the landscape. As a result, it helps determine crop nutrient needs, calculate fertiliser volume to apply. Adequate precautions are taken to avoid contamination through well defined collection protocols, adequate storage & transportation infrastructure, temperature control and timely analyses in labs. The team works with other departments to ensure results interpretation.

Voluntary US Cruise Ban Extended Through December 31
The members of Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), which represent 95% of global ocean-going cruise capacity, have announced they will maintain the ongoing voluntary suspension of cruise operations in the US through December 31, 2020.
Thirteen US cruise lines canceled planned voyages through the end of the year yesterday, and CLIA says members will use the final two months of 2020 to prepare for a phased-in relaunch.
“As we continue to plan for a gradual and highly-controlled return of cruise operations in the U.S., CLIA members are committed to implementing stringent measures to address safety, including 100% testing of passengers and crew, expanded onboard medical capabilities, and trial sailings, among many others,” CLIA stated in a press release.
“We share a common goal with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to protect public health, which has been affirmed and reaffirmed consistently throughout the industry’s response to the global pandemic,” CLIA added.
Last Friday, the CDC lifted its “no sail” order on US cruise ships and set out a detailed framework for how cruising could restart. The 40-page document is daunting, but CLIA says its members are ready to take on the challenge.
“In the nearly eight months that cruise operations in the U.S. have been suspended, CLIA members have been diligent in the planning and development of rigorous protocols in the interest of the health and safety of passengers, crew and the communities cruise lines serve,” CLIA said.
Explained: ‘Conditional Sail’ Order for Cruise Ships
“The public health protocols that CLIA members have agreed to adopt have been informed by the recommendations of world-class experts in public health and science, as well as the experiences of CLIA member lines who have resumed sailing in Europe and other parts of the world with approval from local and regional governments.”
The news comes not a moment too soon for a beleaguered industry that has been essentially shut down since March. CLIA estimates that 421,000 Americans depend directly on cruising for their livelihoods.
“Each day without cruise operations in the U.S. results in nearly 1,000 American jobs lost,” says CLIA. “From mid-March through today, it is estimated that the suspension of cruise operations has resulted in a loss of more than $25 billion in economic activity and over 164,000 American jobs.”
The American Society of Travel Advisors also commented on last week’s CDC decision, calling it “a welcome development and a key milestone in the restart of the travel industry,” one that ASTA has been pushing for at least six months.”
Until now, there was still some hope that cruising would return in a limited form before the end of the year. That was dashed yesterday when Carnival Corp. joined its industry competitors including Royal Caribbean and Disney Cruise Line in announcing it would not sail in December 2020 and will instead shift focus to 2021.
READ: Carnival Cancels Remainder of 2020 Sailings
“As we move towards the resumption of our cruise operations, we have made the decision to cancel the six ships that had remained in our schedule for December 2020 from Miami and Port Canaveral,” Carnival said in a statement.
“We continue to carefully evaluate the Framework for Resuming Cruise Ship Operations Order issued on October 30 by the CDC. As we complete our analysis and a plan to comply with the CDC’s directive, we will update guests about deployment and scheduling plans for our fleet and homeports. We appreciate the support of our guests, travel advisor partners, and local officials in homeports and destinations.”
What’s Next For The Cruise Industry?
Under the new CDC order, cruise lines will have to make a number of changes before they return to sailing. That includes testing and additional safeguards for crew members, along with the installation of onboard facilities to test passengers.
READ: The First Cruise Ships Allowed Back and Who Will Be Allowed to Sail
The CDC is also requiring that all lines intending to sail out of US ports conduct simulated voyages based on meeting all of its restart requirements. The goal is to thoroughly test and evaluate health, safety and outbreak protocols before revenue passengers are allowed onboard.
These trial cruises will carry consenting “passengers” — likely crew members in many cases. All aspects of the cruise experience will be tested, from terminal arrival to shore excursions, what happens in the event of a sick passenger to how passengers debark and head home.

Kristen Dragotto, Staff Writer
“The Hate U Give” has been one of the most highly anticipated movies of 2018. This movie is an adaption of Angie Thomas’s debut novel. With Audrey Wells as screenwriter and George Tillman Jr as director, it was bound to be good and it did not disappoint.
The movie followed the story of a sixteen-year-old girl name Starr, played by Amanda Stenberg, who lived in Garden Heights and attended an all-white private school. Starr’s life was illustrated by the struggle she faced in being torn between the two worlds she inhabited. These worlds collided when she witnessed her childhood friend Khalil, played by Algee Smith, being shot and killed by a police officer, played by Drew Starkey, who was known as 115. In the aftermath of Khalil’s death, we see the lengths Starr was willing to go to not only to find justice for Khalil but also for those around her.
The movie did a great job of following the book’s storyline; this was a pleasant surprise because in most cases the movie differs greatly from the book. Wells did a miraculous job keeping the key aspects from the book in the film. The depiction of the racial struggles Starr and her community face and realistic portrayal of Khalil’s death were truly eye opening.
For most members of the St. Louis community, the news coverage seen in the film as well as the protests and rioting would be a reminder of what took place here in our own backyard with the shooting of Michael Brown in 2014. The realistic portrayal is almost haunting for the audience as they remember this is not just a movie they are watching but real life. This movie was not made to make the audience feel sad but rather spark the fire to cause change.
The movie presented the side of the conversation to which people have turned a deaf ear. Variety author Owen Gleiberman wrote, “The film is based on a young-adult novel by Angie Thomas and excuse my prejudice if I confess that I don’t tend to go to YA movies to have my mind opened up about America’s racial complexities. Yet “The Hate U Give,” as directed by George Tillman Jr., from a script by Wells, who died, after a battle with cancer, the day before the film was released, [it is] the rare racial drama that will detonate the complacency of even those who are drawn to see it. It’s that good, that searching, that fierce in its humanity.”
However, author Ann-Derrick Gaillot from Thrillist said it best when she wrote, “While the film simplifies the story somewhat, it never loses its heart, the brilliant emerging of Starr into her own voice and pride in the community that lifts her up.” I would have to completely agree with Gaillot, the film is an abridged version of the story with slight variations. It is more than capable of leaving its audience with the same feeling the book did, presenting the plea for justice from the Black Lives Matter movement.
This film was Well’s last work of art. It accomplished her personal goal of giving those who are marginalized a voice and making sure that it is heard. I would highly recommend catching this movie before it leaves theaters. Allow yourself to be a part of the long overdue conversation and help spark the change this movie sought out to bring.

Do you have oily, acne prone skin? If you answered yes, this post is for you. As long as I can remember my skin likes to revolt against me – it breaks out often and it also tends to scar very easily. I also I live in a hot and humid city which just makes the overall situation extra icky. And every time my skin breaks out the only product that has worked well to help clear and calm the acne is tea tree oil and there is one range of tea tree oil that I have used extensively and that is The Body Shop’s tea tree range. This is my 2 cents on how the products from the range work and which one is the best for you.
THE BODY SHOP TEA TREE OIL
The star product and the one that I used for years. No matter which brand of tea tree oil I venture to try out I always go back to the one by The Body Shop – I find that this works best and quickly on my painful breakouts. I have written an extensive review on this oil during my freelance writing days for Peaches and Blush
Here is a quick synopsis of the product – Works quickly to dry out and calm breakouts. If you expect it to work overnight like Salicylic acid I am afraid this doesn’t do that. But at the same time it isn’t as drying like salicylic acid and is more forgiving on the skin. The packaging has both pro and con – it dispenses the right amount of product, but when you are almost at the end of it, it truly is a pain to remove the required quantity. When it comes to fragrance this is something you get accustomed to – initially I found the fragrance a little too strong, but over the years I have gotten used to it.
THE BODY SHOP TEA TREE ANTI-IMPERFECTION DAILY SOLUTION
This was a product I was super excited to try out. There were so many amazing review and almost every review was in praise of this product. I did go into this expecting a lot – for someone like me who has always had skin issues hearing this one product would help get my skin under control sounded amazing but at the same time too good to be true. And my experience with this was the latter. The solution is very light weight and the fragrance is a very mild version of the tea tree oil. The serum sinks into the skin super quickly and hydrated it mildly. It also managed my make my pores not look like craters, but in terms of its effect on breakouts or scarring was rather minimal. It couldn’t do much to calm my breakouts or minimize the scars old breakouts left behind. Overall it failed to work on breakouts and that was a no-no for me. I find that I can get better results by mixing 1-2 drops of the Tea Tree oil with my daily moisturizer.
THE BODY SHOP TEA TREE BLEMISH FADE NIGHT LOTION
Pigmentation is really my enemy. The next product I tried is a night lotion infused with the goodness of both Tea Tree Oil and Tamanu oil which helps heal acne and acne scarring. On days my skin is being greasy this lotion provides the right amount of hydration – so if you have combination to oily skin you wouldn’t need to top up with another moisturizer. This lotion also helps counteract some of the dryness from other products in the range. However, if you have dry skin you better top up with a good moisturizer. In terms of its effects on post-acne blemishes I found that it works better on fresh or newly dried up acne than old scarring. For old scarring it is better to reach for products with Vitamin C. I have a lot of scarring from old acne and the effect was quite subtle. However, this is a nice light weight lotion to use at the end of the day and it has a considerably milder tea tree fragrance.
THE BODY SHOP TEA TREE FACE WASH
A good face wash is the first step to help to keep acne at bay. The Body Shop’s Tea Tree Face Wash is a great deep cleansing face wash. However, it is quite deep cleansing that it strips oil from the skin completely. I would recommend using this only once a day and preferably in summers when the skin generally tends to be greasier. This is way too drying to be used in winters. The face wash in combination with the Tea Tree oil can zap a breakout quickly. However, I would refrain from using any other drying product while using the face wash and always hydrating well with a non-comedogenic moisturizer right after.
THE BODY SHOP TEA TREE SKIN CLEARING TONER
This is the last product I have used from the Tea Tree range. I have written a detailed review of this toner here. The toner was a hit and miss for me. Blackheads and whiteheads love my skin and this toner really helped keep them at bay, but the alcohol in the toner really made my skin dry that it felt uncomfortable and my skin would overcompensate and become extra greasy. It didn’t do much to help with the post acne scarring either.
While there are many more products from The Body Shop’s Tea Tree range these are the 5 products I have tried and if there is one product is definitely recommend trying out it is the Tea Tree Oil.

Williston Public School District No. 1 wanted to make sure everyone had a chance to look at the school bond issue. So instead of making people come out to them, they went out to the people.
The board held an informal session Tuesday at the high school – just down the hall from the basketball game. A large turnout was expected for Donn Skadeland night and two games scheduled against Minot, giving the school a chance to provide facts to a large number of people, as well as get comments from city residents.
The informal session is in advance of a vote on a school bond scheduled for March 20.
Lee Dobrinz, with JLG Architects, said this was a chance to get information out that had come up previously at school board meetings.
“We’re excited to hit an audience that maybe hasn’t had a chance to evaluate the details of the plan,” he said.
The walk-through stations featured placards that described population growth in the city, the age of the schools, cost of construction and more. Dobrinz started with a board showing the school’s population growth, almost doubling from 2,168 in 2008 to 4,350 this year. The number of students is projected to hit 5,000 as soon as 2022.
Another placard shows the age of the schools. All the elementary schools, except for Hagan, were built in the 1950s and 1960s.
And there aren’t enough classrooms to deal with the number of students coming in. So the school board plans to issue bonds to pay for two new schools.
Rickard Elementary School, built in 1951 with a capacity of 325 students, would be replaced with a new Rickard built right next door to the old one.
Similarly, Wilkinson Elementary School, built in 1961 with a capacity of 230 students, would be built replaced with a new Wilkinson right next door to the old one.
Each new building would be able to handle 600 students, or 1,200 total, Dobrinz said.
The school board will also build an addition to the high school, bringing it from 1,200 students to 1,500. All three schools would be complete by the fall of 2019.
The cost for this construction would be $76.2 million. If the school bond passes, that would be an extra cost to homeowners, adding an extra $214 of tax liability per $100,000 of the home’s value.
Although there are costs to building new schools, there are also costs that come from not building. For example, if the schools are built, the cost of deferred maintenance on the buildings comes out to about $14 million, The maintenance will be complete by 2025.
The cost of maintenance without new buildings would be about $15 million, and the maintenance will stretch out to 2035, Dobrinz said.
Not only that, but schools would still be over capacity if no new school buildings are constructed.
Nick Lippert, also with JLG, said that even with the increased cost to homeowners, the total tax liability to Williston residents is less than most other school districts of similar size throughout the state. He pointed out that Williston will pay a total tax liability of $1054.64 for every $100,000 of a home’s value. Bismarck residents pay $1,075.19, and Grand Forks residents pay $1531.89.
Abbie Axtman, kindergarten teacher at Hagan, stopped by to look at the placards. She said the time had come to build new schools, since most of the buildings date back 50 years or more.
She urged people to put themselves in the mindset of the residents who lived here when these schools were built.
“There were families in this community that sacrificed, and that paid a little more for their taxes, and got new schools,” she said. “So these families in the ’50s and the ’60s made sacrifices, so that we have all the schools that we have. And so now is the time for the families right now, to make the same sacrifice again, to improve education for the community.”


With less than two months until NBA 2K18 releases, video game publisher 2K Sports has revealed the first screenshots of this year’s edition, which feature Paul George with his new team, Canadian cover athlete DeMar DeRozan, and Celtics star Isaiah Thomas.
Ball, who is the coach of the Big Baller Brand team that his son LaMelo is on, was given a technical by the woman. He then said he and his team would leave the court and the game if a new referee wasn’t put in.
A male referee replaced the woman, but Ball was issued another technical and ejected from the game.
The game was scrapped after Ball refused to leave the court, and afterward he said the female referee needed to stay in her lane because she ain’t ready for this.
Court Club Elite, which supplied the officials for the tournament, was appalled and announced that it had ended it’s contract with Adidas for its treatment of CCE’s employees.
On Monday, Ball refused to acknowledge his sexism and said he was targeted by the referees because of who he is.
Of course I’m being unfairly targeted, but it’s OK. Why wouldn’t I be? Ball told ESPN LA 710. They say I got a big mouth anyway. They say we bad as heck. Of course you want to try to quiet me up. That’s the way I’ve been coaching all the time. It’s just entertainment. Instead of going to the movies, people are coming to the AAU game to watch a game.

Of those small businesses surveyed, 13% would consider moving operations abroad in reaction to the extra strain Brexit might put on their workforce, while 8% would even consider shutting down, according to a study by the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB).
“There is real concern among small firms with EU staff that they will lose access to the skills and labour their business needs to survive and grow”, said Mike Cherry, FSB national chairman.
A fifth of small businesses (21%) currently have EU employees, 72% of which hired their workers after they were already living in the UK.
The research found the majority of EU workers employed by small businesses are mid-skilled staff (47%). Examples include construction workers, nurses, mechanics and office managers.
“EU workers are a vital part of our economy, helping to plug chronic skills gaps across a wide range of sectors, and filling jobs in an already tight labour market. From packers, to mechanics, to graphic designers, small employers need to be able to hire the right person, for the right job at the right time”, stated Cherry.
Another fear is red tape, with 56% of small businesses with EU staff concerned about being required to enforce new immigration rules post-Brexit.
“Restrictions on immigration will be felt more acutely by small businesses," warned Cherry.
“They are least well-placed to cope with losing staff, or dealing with a burdensome application process from the government to retain and hire new staff.”
The vast majority of small businesses (95%) don’t even have experience using the UK’s points-based immigration system to recruit non-EU workers.
“Securing the right to remain for EU workers in the UK must be a priority. It’s also crucial small firms are given time after the UK leaves the EU to prepare for the new immigration arrangement.”
“There can’t be a sudden cliff edge preventing small firms from accessing the workers they need. This means having sensible transitional arrangements first, followed by the phased implementation of a new immigration system”, Cherry added.
This morning, Kier Starmer, shadow secretary of state for exiting the European Union, defended EU workers in his speech setting out Labour’s Brexit election manifesto.
“[EU nationals] are part of our society, and they should not be used as bargaining chips.”
“On day one of a Labour government, we will immediately guarantee that all EU nationals currently living in the UK will see no change in their legal status as a result of Brexit”, Starmer stated.
In December the Trades Union Congress and the British Chambers of Commerce called on prime minister Theresa May to end uncertainty for businesses by confirming that the government will give current EU migrants the right to remain after Brexit.

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) shares have surged over 50% this year, riding the wave of higher GPU demand.
While gaming and data center applications are the primary drivers of that demand, cryptocurrency’s impact has to be mentioned as well. Crypto miners use GPUs running 24/7 to mine digital currency, but as MarketWatch reports, analysts are getting concerned that demand might be waning:
AMD’s Vega GPUs have been a star for the company lately, but Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon wrote that Vega initially proved disappointing for investors until the recent crypto boom.
“Given AMD’s GPUs have been preferred for mining, and GPU supply in general to gamers was constrained industry-wide, we believe it is plausible that much of AMD’s GPU ramp has benefitted miners, rather than gamers, over this period,” Rasgon said.
Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley’s Joseph Moore reiterated his bearish stance on the stock this week, citing similar crypto concerns. “Cryptocurrency strength has to some degree offset the slow and steady progress establishing momentum in desktop and server microprocessors after several years away from those markets — but that higher revenue has driven higher operating expense, which further raises the bar for the processor business if crypto momentum should fade,” Moore wrote. He added that AMD is “facing an imminent Nvidia product launch that they may not have an answer to for another year,” he wrote.
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. shares closed at $15.80 on Friday, up $0.15 (+0.96%). Year-to-date, AMD has gained 53.70%, versus a 3.83% rise in the benchmark S&P 500 index during the same period.

Fox News host Sean Hannity thanked his supporters on social media for beginning a boycott of Keurig products and posting videos of themselves destroying their products after the company pulled its ads from his show.
Why did Keurig pull their ads from Hannity's show?
Left-wing activist organization Media Matters pressured Hannity's advertisers to abandon his show after he allowed Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore to defend himself from allegations that he had inappropriate sexual behavior with a 14-year-old in 1979.
Media Matters tried unsuccessfully before to get Hannity tossed off the air over his coverage of the conspiracy theory surrounding the murder of a DNC employee.
After being pressured on social media, Keurig indicated Saturday that it would remove its ads from Hannity's show.
"Angelo, thank you for your concern and for bringing this to our attention," Keurig tweeted to Angelo Carusone, Media Matters' president. "We worked with our media partner and FOX news to stop our ad from airing during the Sean Hannity Show."

A massive Bronx house fire took the lives of three young kids, including a 10-month-old baby girl and a young dad early Sunday morning. The frightened children were screaming and banging on the windows, “Help me, God”, the NY Post reported.
Merlyn Persaue, 60, described the tragic situation to the station, “You could see their little hands banging on the windows, they were screaming, the children, ‘Hey Allah! Hey Allah!’ which means, ‘Help me, God! Help me, God.”
According to FDNY officials, the fire began around 6 a.m. in the rear of a three-story house on Quimby Avenue off of Castle Hill Avenue. According to reports, firefighters arrived at the scene and discovered heavy fire coming from the second floor and some on the first floor.
A 10-year-old and a 12-year-old boy were pronounced dead at the scene. According to the NYPD, a 22-year-old man and a baby girl were transported to a local hospital, where they were later pronounced dead.
There were severe injuries among a woman, 21, and a man, 41, who is being treated at an area hospital, police said.
Merlyn Persaud, and neighbor and witness told ABC7, “The flame was up high, real high already, big. And you heard the screaming in the house. big screaming, screaming for help.”
Over 100 firefighters and EMS personnel responded to the fire, which was upgraded to a second-alarm fire due to the “heavy fire” on the first and second floors. According to the Fire Department of New York, there were also minor injuries among firefighters.
One of the deadliest fires in the city’s history occurred in March in a Bronx apartment building fire that killed 17 people. Mayor Eric Adams signed a fire safety executive order in March.
As Adams described at the time, the executive order will improve fire safety enforcement, outreach efforts to educate New Yorkers, and detect safety violations.
The identities of those killed have not yet been released, and the fire marshal is investigating the fire’s cause.


Ford Motor Company is planning to nearly double production of the F-150 Lightning pickup at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn to 150,000 trucks per year to meet demand for the all-electric pickup, the company announced. The first group of reservation holders will also be invited to place their orders for the F-150 Lightning later this week.
“With nearly 200,000 reservations, our teams are working hard and creatively to break production constraints to get more F-150 Lightning trucks into the hands of our customers,” said Kumar Galhotra, president of The Americas & International Markets Group, Ford Motor Company. “The reality is clear: People are ready for an all-electric F-150 and Ford is pulling out all the stops to scale our operations and increase production capacity.”
Due to customer interest, Ford is implementing a wave-by-wave reservation process, with reservation holders receiving an invitation via email from Ford or to log into their Ford.com account over the next few months. Those who don’t receive invitations to convert for the 2022 model year will have an opportunity to order a future model year vehicle.
To deliver this latest increase, a small task force of employees from manufacturing, purchasing, strategy, product development and capacity planning are finding ways to quickly adapt and expand production of the groundbreaking pickup. Ford is working with key suppliers – as well as with its own manufacturing facilities Rawsonville Components Plant and Van Dyke Electric Powertrain Center – to find ways to increase capacity of electric vehicle parts, including battery cells, battery trays and electric drive systems.
In addition to scaling Lightning production, Ford recently announced the tripling of production for the Mustang Mach-E and expects to reach 200,000-plus units per year by 2023. Ford’s all-electric van, the 2022 E-Transit, goes on sale early this year.

Another month brings another slew of exciting games to expand the Xbox Games With Gold library. The games that are going to be free in the month of June 2017 have been recently announced by Microsoft and they include quite a number of good AAA titles. These games will become available throughout the month and will be accessible by anyone with a Xbox Live Gold membership to add to their library. You can find the list of games that are going to be available below, along with their respective dates:
June 1 – June 30: Speed Runners
June 16 – July 15: Watch_Dogs
June 1 – June 15: Assassin’s Creed III
June 16 – June 30: Dragon Age Origins
The recently released remake of Phantom Dust will be getting a DLC multiplayer pack that is going to drop for the Xbox One this month. Hence be on the lookout for that
This month’s lineup will be sure to impress many Xbox Live Gold members as some amazing titles are up for grabs. This would mean that Sony would have to kick up their own PlayStation Plus lineup for June if they want to compete. There have been complains about Sony not providing quality games for their Plus subscribers in the past since the library has been pretty dependent on old indie titles for the last few months. To be honest I find Sony’s online component to be lacking at times, and the selection to choose from is pretty mundane.
We might see some better titles from Sony as we approach the launch of the Scorpio later this year as to counter Games With Gold so be sure to expect better games from the service. Let us know what you think about this month’s Games With Gold in the comments section below!

SHANGHAI, Dec 11 (SMM) — Stocks of copper in Shanghai bonded areas decreased for three consecutive weeks.
SMM data showed that the stocks fell 8,500 mt from the prior week to 351,400 mt as of Friday December 11.
Some traders said that some shipping schedule was delayed, and arrivals decreased. There was an opportunity to open the import window in the last two weeks. The warehouse receipts signed at the time of import profit were declared for import this week, which led to a further decline in inventories.

Latest figures from the International Air Transport Association show that air freight is still suffering from high fuel costs and lack of demand. June cargo volumes were 3% lower than the same month last year, and 1% lower than the year before.
Asia Pacific carriers, who are the biggest participant of the air freight market with a 40.5% market share, recorded the largest year-on-year decline in volumes – a 5.8% drop. This is mainly because of disrupted supply chains in the electronics and motor industries due to the Japanese earthquake and tsunami and slower economic growth in China.
“Air cargo continues in the doldrums, at 6% below the post-recession peak,” said Iata Director General and CEO Tony Tyler.

M.I.A.'s 'Matangi': Get The Tracklisting
The experimental singer-songwriter's new album is due Nov. 5th!
As one of pop music's most experimental and outspoken artists, we're always excited to hear new music from M.I.A. Her fourth studio album, Mantangi, is already gearing up to be one of her best records yet, with the singles "Bring the Noize" and "Come Walk With Me" being a solid mix of fun yet hard-hitting.
Lyrically, the album has been described as "Paul Simon on acid", which to us sounds like storytelling on psychedelics. Usually working with producer/DJ Diplo, she turned to his former Major Lazer partner-in-crime, Switch, to help produce tracks off the album. We feel like her departure from Diplo is a good decision for her, since we feel like he's too tame in comparision to the sound she really wants to get out there.
You have to wait until November 5th until Matangi drops, but at least you can have a peek at the tracklisting:
3. "Only 1 U"
5. "Come Walk With Me"
8. "Bad Girls"
9. "Boom Skit"
10. "Double Bubble Trouble"
12. "Bring the Noize"
14. "Know It Ain't Right"
For now, watch the music video for M.I.A.'s "Bad Girls" on VEVO below. What song looks the most exciting to you off Matangi?

Honda Pilot Elite 2022
A 3.5-liter V6 engine with 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque is standard on every 2022 Honda Pilot. Three-row midsize SUVs frequently have six-cylinder engines, but this one distinguishes out for its lively performance. The V6 from Honda is paired with a 9-speed automated transmission.
Intelligent Variable Torque Management (i-VTM4), the available AWD technology for the 2022 Pilot, is capable of torque vectoring and offers various terrain settings. In order to maintain traction, it is possible to direct up to 70% of the engine’s torque to a single rear tire.
7.3 inches of ground clearance are typical for Pilots. Because it has 7.9 inches of clearance, the Honda Pilot TrailSport is a good option if you frequently travel on dirt roads. AWD Pilots have a 5,000-pound towing capacity as opposed to front-drive models’ 3,500-pound limit when properly equipped.
The FWD 2022 Honda Pilot receives a combined city and highway fuel economy rating of 23 mpg from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Pilots with all-wheel drive get 22 mpg on the highway. Due to its higher suspension, the Pilot TrailSport achieves a combined fuel economy rating of 21 mpg.
In a similar vein, the Toyota Highlander’s base engine is a 3.5-liter V6. With an 8-speed automatic transmission, this engine produces 295 horsepower and 263 pound-feet of torque. Although there is occasionally a delay during transmission upshifts, the engine delivers power smoothly.
On the V6 Highlanders, Toyota provides two AWD systems. The entry-level system offers hill-descent control and terrain modes. Torque-vectoring technology is added to the improved AWD system on higher models to increase grip.
8 inches of ground clearance are standard on every 2022 Toyota Highlander. A properly equipped V6 Highlander has a 5,000-pound towing capacity regardless of drive configuration.
The 2022 Highlander with a V6 engine is rated by the EPA at 23 mpg combined with FWD and 24 mpg combined with AWD. Toyota offers the 2022 Highlander Hybrid if you’re looking for a more fuel-efficient family car. The hybrid powertrain combines a front electric drive motor that receives power from a compact, 1.9 kilowatt-hour battery pack with a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine with 186 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque. The power sources are combined by a second electric motor; this is an electronic continuously variable transmission (eCVT). The combined horsepower of hybrid Highlanders is 243 hp.
The rear wheels of AWD Highlander hybrids are propelled by a third electric motor. The gasoline engine does not deliver torque to the rear wheels, unlike on V6 Highlanders (and Pilots). No matter the powertrain configuration, properly outfitted Highlander Hybrids have a 3,500-pound towing capacity.
The FWD 2022 Toyota Highlander Hybrid gets 36 mpg in combined driving, according to the EPA. The Highlander hybrid AWD gets 35 mpg.
Despite having a lesser horsepower rating, the V6 in the Pilot is superior. If you can endure its noisy 4-cylinder engine, the Highlander Hybrid is the winner if fuel economy is your top goal.
Toyota Highlander or Honda Pilot: which vehicle provides greater space?
Cabin space: The Honda Pilot has a larger interior than the Toyota Highlander. The Honda features 2 more cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row and 4.2 inches more third-row legroom than the Toyota.
Which is better for towing, a Honda Pilot or a Highlander?
For midsize SUVs, the Toyota Highlander and Honda Pilot have respectable payload and towing capacities. But the Pilot triumphs with a better performance. The Highlander has a hauling capacity of 1,486 to 1,602 pounds and a towing capacity of 1,500 pounds when using an optional trailer hitch. When driving a Honda Pilot with 2WD, you can tow up to 3,500 pounds. When properly equipped, the Pilot SUV’s towing capacity increases to 5,000 pounds when AWD is added. It can also move 1,420 to 1,625 pounds.
What issues are there with Toyota Highlanders?
Similar problems with the motorized tailgate and air conditioning system plagued the Toyota Highlander’s previous version from 2008 to 2013. A few owners have also complained of oil leaks from the engine and clunking sounds they hear when rotating the steering wheel.
Is Toyota more dependable than Honda?
Toyota and Honda automobiles all receive quite high scores when comparing each brand’s cars for safety and dependability. However, Honda has better average safety ratings across all of its cars, including used Honda SUVs, while Toyota tops the charts for dependability.
- The average annual repair cost for more recent Pilots is $542, which is less expensive than the Ford Explorer’s average annual repair cost of $732.
- The Honda Pilot is a dependable and reasonably priced SUV that, while not the most thrilling car on the road, should satisfy the ordinary driver for a decade or more of devoted service and can easily travel over 150,000 miles with proper maintenance.
- Less than 100 complaints on vehicles from 2014 and later indicate that the Pilot has been a reliable vehicle, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
- In a recent survey of the cars most likely to travel 200,000 miles, the Honda brand came in second. Although the Honda Odyssey minivan, which has the same platform as the Pilot, was listed in the study’s list of 16 cars projected to reach that mileage milestone, the Pilot was not.
- The Pilot’s track record of dependability has one flaw: In 2013, a class action lawsuit involving an engine problem impacting more than 1.6 million automobiles was resolved. The 3.5-liter V6 engine used in 2009–2013 Pilots may malfunction or burn excessive amounts of oil, according to the lawsuit.
Do Highlanders continue to be valuable?
The Highlander received higher ratings than other well-liked cars like the Honda Pilot and Subaru Ascent. KBB data indicates that the Highlander keeps 60.2% of its value 36 months after purchase. It still retains 46.3% of its value after 60 months.
What is the Honda Pilot’s reliability?
Breakdown of the Honda Pilot’s reliability rating. The Honda Pilot has a 3.5 out of 5.0 reliability rating, which places it 13th out of 26 midsize SUVs. It has cheaper ownership costs than the national average due to the $542 average annual repair cost.
The Toyota Highlander is the largest SUV available.
One of the strongest rivals to the Toyota Highlander is the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse. Comparing the cabin measurements of the two vehicles reveals that the Traverse is, in fact, almost a foot longer than the Highlander. The Traverse boasts 20% more third-row legroom and an additional 14.5 cubic feet of total load space.
Mobile Wi-Fi, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay are additional standard amenities on the Traverse. None of the Highlander trim levels provide any of those technologies. Furthermore, the Traverse is less expensive to start even though Toyota offers the most common safety measures. You can therefore put the money you save towards Chevy extras like collision-avoidance braking, lane-keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, and more.
What distinguishes the Honda Pilot EXL from the EX?
Additional variations between the Honda Pilot EX and EX-L The following features are either standard or offered on the EX-L but are not on the EX: seats with leather trim. system for advanced rear entertainment. electric tailgate
Highlander: At 194.9 inches, the new 2020 Highlander is 4.7 inches longer than its more capable off-road sibling, the 4Runner. Even though their widths are nearly identical, the new Highlander sits three inches lower than the 4Runner. The Highlander is, it may be said, even more like a car than before. The Highlander makes better use of its interior space because it is built on the new TNGA unibody chassis.
The headroom is 39.9 inches without the panoramic moonroof and 39.4 inches with the optional glass roof. Without the sunroof, there is 37.1 inches of headroom in the second row and 38.4 inches with it. In any configuration, the third row offers 36.1 inches of headroom. In terms of legroom, the first two seats have enough of it. Even the tallest passengers can easily fit in the first two rows thanks to its 40.4 and 41.0 inch widths. However, the third row is a little congested at 27.7 inches.
4Runner: Despite standing a solid 71.5 inches tall and measuring 190 inches in length, the 4Runner lacks a tiny bit of headroom and shoulder room compared to its car-based predecessor. The truck-like structure, which utilizes robust but space-consuming suspension components, is partly to blame for this.
Comparing the 4Runner to its slightly bigger unibody sister, both vehicles offer comparable amounts of headroom. To be exact, 39.3 inches in the front and 38.6 inches in the back. Although it does manage to reclaim some space in the third row, which offers two inches more legroom than the Highlander, the legroom in the middle seat is noticeably shorter at 32.9 inches due to the body on frame structure.
Conclusion: The Toyota Highlander is larger than the 4Runner and has significantly more space inside for passengers. The way they are built is primarily to blame for this. The 4Runner is a body on frame, in contrast to the Highlander’s unibody design. As a result, the 4Runner sits on top of its frame as opposed to the Highlander, which means the cabin’s available area is immediately reduced.
Does every Honda Pilot have a third row of seats?
Gray leather is presented with Elite. Second-row captain’s chairs are an option on Touring and are standard on Elite and Black Edition.
Gray leather is presented with Elite. On the Elite and Black Edition, heated and ventilated front seats are standard.

Discover first-rate features all around and relaxing seating for up to eight people, including a roomy third row.
For added comfort, the Pilot has option leather seating throughout the cabin. Additionally, the availability of up to eight seats in a variety of configurations ensures that there is space for everyone.
How far can a Highlander travel?
One of the most durable midsize SUVs on the market, the Toyota Highlander can keep going for up to 300,000 miles after you drive it off the lot.
What is the Toyota Highlander’s most typical issue?
Knowing what kind of performance to anticipate from each model year is crucial if you’re thinking about purchasing a Toyota Highlander. Although Toyota is a reliable brand and the Highlander is a well-liked and sturdy SUV, not every year for the Highlander was successful. If you want to be sure you get a dependable car that will endure through years of regular use, you must be aware of the Toyota Highlander years to stay away from.
Some buyers love experimental cars, but nobody wants to purchase one they believe won’t be a dependable daily driver.
We’ll also touch on the Highlander model years that have received the best ratings and reviews, as well as any other factors you might want to take into account before purchasing a Toyota Highlander.
Here are a few of the Toyota Highlander’s most frequent issues to stay away from.
- Engine bolts are ripping out.
- Engine malfunction
- Using Engine Oil More Rapidly than Normal.
- Issues with the AC condenser and fuel tank.
- faulty oxygen sensor and head gasket.

The stunning cushion cut 1.34ct spinel is 4 claw set into a 14ct white gold diamond mount. The 20 round brilliant diamonds in the separate Hamsa weigh 0.13ct. The Hamsa and claw set spinel are attached to a shared jump ring allowing movement and reflection of light. The adjustable chain is adjustable between 18″and 20” (18″ +1″ +1″)
Spinels come in a wonderful palette of colours. All our spinel necklaces are unique and even though there are spinels in the same setting, the tone, colour, and weight of the spinels will vary in every ring. For this reason, every necklace is listed separately.
Spinels are a hard stone, close to sapphire and ruby and are perfect for jewellery. They have even colour distribution and a unique fire and brilliance.
Highlights from a recent article in the NY Times:
Colour is really what spinels are all about. Many jewellery makers have used their vibrant, shimmering range of shades to enrich designs.
“Their high refractive index gives spinels lots of fire.”
“a magical stone with its numerous hues and tonalities.”
Mr. Borruso of Sotheby’s noted that the lack of manipulation is a plus for the gem. “Ninety-eight percent of rubies and sapphires are treated, often heated to change the colours and dissolve some inclusions,” he said. “People have a craving for things that are real. Our spinels are natural.
Spinels are enjoying a comeback.
This unique ring is size L but please contact us if you wish to have the ring sized.
Our jewellery comes in patented fabric pockets (pouches) with the jewellery displayed on inner pads. The packaging can be used as pouches for additional jewellery. The packaging is integral to the history of the brand.

1 Corinthians 12:26-28 Worldwide English (New Testament) (WE)
26 God has given each person their right place in the church. First, there are the apostles. Second, there are prophets who speak words from God. Third, there are those who teach. Then there are those who do big works. Then there are those who have the gifts to heal people, those who help in the work of the church people, those who lead and guide others, and those who speak God's words in different kinds of tongues or languages.
27 Are all the people apostles? Can they all speak words from God? Can they all teach? Can they all do big works?
28 Do they all have the gifts to heal the sick people? Can they all speak in different tongues? Can they all tell the meaning of these tongues?
