AUTHOR'S NOTES, ADDITIONAL: This is for Isagel's MULTIFANDOM U2 SONG TITLE CHALLENGE, about which she stated: "The rules are simple: pick a song by U2, use the title of this song as the title of a fanfic, and use three lines from the lyrics in the text of the story. No altering of lines, and no songfic - the trick is to fit the lines from the song seamlessly into your own prose or dialogue. Other than that, anything goes - all pairings, all genres, all ratings, and, yes, all fandoms." Wish me luck.
DEDICATION: For Tiff, who is sick of my complaining, but would never say it.

Clark used to be so innocent.
He was happy and untouched and perfect, at least until I came along.
Since he came to meet me in the city today, I felt it only fair to take him for coffee as we try to unravel what is going on with his friends' computers, which seem to have suddenly turned evil. My lover guzzles his coffee black, as always, but I have opted for a different beverage. Winter's chill is in the air, so I have ordered tea with lemon, which makes me feel a little warmer somehow. Maybe it's what my mother used to drink when it turned cold.
Our discussion is mostly Clark thinking out loud and me offering suggestions, so I have plenty of time to watch him. We have fooled around a little once or twice in the interim, but haven't had sex since that morning in his loft when he'd lost his sight. He can't know what was going through my head at the moment I came, because it was startling even to me.
Something about the blank gaze in his eyes that day made me disconnect the body beneath me from the loving young man I thought I knew. Suddenly, I was ashamed for taking my pleasure from him, for taking advantage of this fragile, damaged boy. Nonsense, I keep telling myself--there is nothing fragile about Clark. Of course, his eyes healed quickly, and now everything is back to normal. But somehow, it isn't.
No longer is he the carefree boy he once was. Bad things happen to him, only some of which are not my fault, and the damage shows. Not on his perfect body, but in his manner, in the ease with which he has learned to avoid direct questions, in the casualness of his lies. He once made me agree to let him keep secrets from me, but have his secrets become bigger than his truths?
I was first attracted to his incorruptibility, his purity and virtue, but these are mostly gone now. Is this all my doing? My father's empire taunts me from across the street through the window of the coffee shop. A man builds a city with banks and cathedrals, and these are the days when our work has come asunder. While my father builds up, I can only tear down.
My past was something to escape, and I was going to be redeemed by the love of my blessed boy's heart and soul. I see now that I cannot run away from who I am, and I feel like I'm holding onto nothing, like I'm slowly, slowly, slowly slipping under... This creation--this lying, smiling, corrupt toy--is all I have to show for my apprenticeship in Smallville.
And still I love him better than anything in this world or the next. What else do I deserve in my life? Here, Lex--you can have the most beautiful boy on earth, but you have to touch him, to defile him, to fuck him until he is just as warped, as decrepit, as ruined as you are. Congratulations. This monster belongs to you, because you built him with your own two hands, with your dishonest mouth and your unfaithful cock.
Clark sees none of this, as if he's still blinded from that accident. All he perceives is his boyfriend offering advice and ideas for solving the latest mystery of his life while sucking on a slice of lemon from his tea. A man dreams of leaving, but he always stays behind. This is where I belong, with the only lover left to me, because he's the one that I was always destined to have.
Clark, who is still beautiful, strong, and even happy, used to be so innocent, but he is as far from that as I could take him. My God, what have I done?

We have been talking about Colin Kaepernick’s movement for almost a year now, with a variety of other players across all sports and ages taking up his silent protest in support of social injustice. Last night a big name in the NFL joined the movement when newly signed Raider, Marshawn Lynch, say during the national anthem before last night’s preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals.

As Beast Mode was retired last season, he wasn’t able to support the movement. But last night he made up for lost time and the moment was captured by Mark J. Rebilas of USA Today Sports.
With the violence in Chalottesville and Lynch’s protest, let’s see if other players, like Malcolm Jenkins, continues Kap’s message.

So you have finally decided to get your wall done with some custom murals from a muralist, and you want some fresh ideas of how to make your house stand out. So how should you decorate your house? There are so many things you can do?
First, you want to figure out how fancy you can get. That means, how many rooms can you afford to get painted. Once you’ve figured that out, you’re next step is to figure out which rooms you will decide to decorate. Will it be just your living room where you entertain guests, or perhaps you would like to have your bedroom done as well? The last thing to do is figure out what style do you want to use.
Your style reflects your personal taste, and is the most exciting part of the project! Now that you have your’ budget, and you have your choice of a couple of rooms, you get to decide where you want to place your murals, and what you want them to express. Here are some ideas to start you off:
1) Philosophical Message – Philosophical messages are often used in religious imagery, and can be very dramatic. Whatever religion you believe in, you can often find famed stories to use to post on your walls.
2) Cultural themes – Cultural themes are also really great ideas. You probably have fond memories of specifc parts of a culture that meant alot to you as a child, and what better way to remember those memories than see it on the wall when you wake up?
3) Location Theming – Often times, there are specific countries that appeal to you, whether because of their historical background, certain places that contain memories for you, or they just have plain beautiful pictures. You can enhance the location theme by painting different rooms in your house with different country scenes, and styling them accordingly.
4) Your Favorite Pastimes – If you have a favorite pastime, the best way to impress your style on other people is by having it on the wall. Your walls are an expression of who you are, and custom murals of your pastimes are a great way of expressing yourself.
5) Outdoors Themes – If you especially appreciate natural scenery, then you may want to post a mural of it on the wall. You can start by researching imagery, or just browsing sites like Flickr for images you want on your mural, and have the muralist start from there. S/he can also help you in those efforts

t is about damn time that you came by this section to meet the idiots behind this whole travesty. "Bad Movie Night" began numerous years back with Ken M. Wilson, self-proclaimed film junkie. While visiting his brother in Texas during the mid-80s, young Kenny -- as he was known back then -- chanced upon a rental called "It Came From Hollywood," a documentary of sorts on low-budget and no-budget films. Ken soaked up the film with its no-holds-barred heckling from the likes of Cheech and Chong, Dan Aykroyd, Gilda Radner and John Candy. Several years later, Joel Hodges would bring this style of comedy to the masses with "Mystery Science Theatre 3000" -- get a group of friends together, go see a bad movie, and revel in the moments of bashing and witty stabs that ensue. It was this type of comraderie that Ken wanted to share with his best friends.
Fast-forward to 1997. Ken, itching to create another web site with as much content as his first major personal project (The 80s Server), began designing and coding on Thanksgiving Day at 9am and didn't let up until midnight. In other words, the site you are currently visiting is either an intense labor of love or proof that Ken needs to get a life.
Best friends Scott "Scooter" Murdock and Chris "Bjula" Bjuland were not only brought into the fray by being dragged to view such classics as "Gone Fishin'," "Barb Wire," and "Dolemite II: The Human Tornado," they were also enlisted to work on this site to bring it to life. Hats off to all three for getting it done in such a short period of time.
Basically, they're three guys that love what they do and want to share this fun portion of their lives with the rest of the world... inviting you to form your own "Bad Movie Night" groups and hit the theatres one night a week. Come on, you owe it to yourself. It's a blast!

Malmo, Sweden's Jonas Altberg was born in 1984, and you can hear his youthful exuberance leaping out of the music he records as Basshunter. In his teens, he began experimenting with Fruity Loops music software, and by 2006 he'd scored a deal with Warner Music -- not a bad learning curve. In his official bio, he sounds a bit baffled himself by the rate at which he went from being a video-game expert to a musician "that performed almost every day all over Scandinavia." (Some things haven't changed: He still lives at home with his parents.)
Basshunter's first release was 2006's Anna Boten single, a glammy trance stomper notable in part for its Swedish vocals. Later that year he followed up with his debut album, a collection of stab-happy trance ("Strand Tylosand," named after the beach by his family home) and harder, more acidic fare ("I'm Your Bass Creator"). In 2008, with his international profile bolstered by Ultra's re-release of his album, he came out with the singles "Please Don't Go" and "Now You're Gone," both of them lighters-in-the-air trance ballads.

The Francisville Dining Table is a contemporary and industrial take on your standard dining experience. It features a classic rectangular tabletop in three real wood veneer colours: dark walnut, light walnut, and natural wood.
The Francisville Dining Table stands on x-shaped metal legs in black, underlining its modern appeal. The crossed legs are attached to a metal frame on the bottom side, equipped with multiple floor protectors. This frame distributes the weight of the table more evenly across its surface area, thanks to its contact with the floor via multiple floor protectors.
The tabletop is extendable from 1.6M to 2.2M, allowing you to adjust the size of the table accordingly to your dining needs. Thanks to the bottom frame, the table is very stable; no need to worry about any accidents when hosting dinner parties. The dark walnut colour adds depth to the overall look of the table and goes well with the black metal legs; the light walnut adds a more neutral vibe and allows you to match it to various different wooden shades in your dining room. The natural wood variant underlines the industrial vibe of the Francisville Dining Table, and will go well with loft-style decor as well.

Web ۳٫۰ vs Web ۳!.. There is an IMPORTANT difference between «Web۳» and Web ۳٫۰
Web 3.0 vs Web 3!
There is an IMPORTANT difference between "Web3" and Web 3.0. The former is fixated on the data layer of the Web 3.0 Computing Stack but overlooks the role of the Logic and Interface layers. Each layer of the Stack evolves independently but simultaneously. Note that the "3.0" implies the next version - the THIRD generation of the web. It is an ERA-based term, intended to describe an evolutionary phase of an integrated Computing system, NOT just one layer of a Computing system. Looking back at previous eras, this is obvious, the Cloud, Mobile devices and apps are part of a larger computing ecosystem, both dependent and complimented by the other layers, the same is true for previous eras of computing systems. For example, the Data Layer of the Stack evolves to enable greater compute and greater trust, the Logic Layer becomes "smarter" and more adaptive, the Interface Layer becomes more natural and intuitive, from buttons to swiping to voice, gesture and (next era) even pure thought. The benefits of a new era of the web (Web 3.0) where all three layers of the Stack are networked, interoperable and distributed means that we get a web that is more natural and intuitive to interface with, smarter and more adaptive and faster and more trustworthy. This New Web needs to be able to network these layers together but Blockchains and DLT's aren't on the www or interoperable. AI algorithms aren't networked and mostly don't work together, XR worlds, apps and games are siloed, etc. THIS IS NOT A WEB. Ok so, the technologies of the Web 3.0 era aren't networked at their own layer, but they REALLY aren't networked between the layers and that's the necessary KEY ingredient to create a web. You need a thread with which to weave them together. Importantly, as we want to trust more than just the data records of things, we want to trust Al algorithms, Autonomous vehicles, and immersive experiences, we need a "thread" or protocol that is capable of networking this multidimensional new web we want! And that is exactly what we at the Spatial Web Foundation have developed and have now donated to the IEEE - the Global Standards org that standardized the wifi standards you are using right now and thousands of other electronic standards to work with a worldwide community to achieve this goal A New Web. So if you are a Web3 proponent, PLEASE consider expanding your interest and support to the other layers and communities in the Stack, If you work in Al or XR or loT, please consider the same, NFTS might appear silly but they are signposts of the unique ID's we need And when using the term Web 3.0, let's use this as a "big tent" term that does and should include all this tech, but more importantly let's start talking LOUDLY about interoperability standards, protocols and networks as that is the only way we get a New Web. A Spatial Web.

On June 22nd, Seasonal Markets hosted a great event at The Bond, Digbeth. BBQ Fest! This involved a wide range of stalls doing, surprisingly, BBQ! It was a lovely sunny day, which made the day even better.
They had an absolutely banging lineup of street food and local businesses –
Baked in Brick, Carcass LDN, Little Urban BBQ, Street Souvlaki, Fat Snags, Grill Brazil, The Middle Feast, The Flavour Trailer, Naughty Lil Tings, Bourneville Waffle Co., Flats Doughnuts, Orientee Bakery, BAKE Birmingham, Jam vs Custard, Made with Fudge, and many more independent sellers.
First place I hit up was Street Souvlaki (@streetsouvlakibrum). All the food here looked great but I knew I wanted to try Carcass. So instead, I got my starter here – a plate full of halloumi. Oh my GOD, this halloumi was insane. Could eat every single day.
I’d been excited for this for weeks and already knew exactly what I was going to get. I had to hit up Carcass LDN (@carcassldn) who were making their well-awaited debut in Birmingham. They had a great menu featuring steak, ribs and lamb. I went for the beef hanger steak, which is served medium-rare with rosemary and salt fried and chimichurri. My sister got the same but with the beef in a bun. Both were absolutely, and I cannot stress this enough, STUNNING. The meat itself was cooked to perfection – so juicy, so tasty. The fries were insane and who doesn’t love rosemary?! Chimichurri was just fantastic. Sensational.
Now after all that stunning BBQ, I obviously had to finish off with some sweet treats. I was torn for choice with the likes of Orientee, Jam vs Custard and Made with Fudge. So I did the sensible thing and tried all three.
I got the raspberry pavlova doughnut from Jam vs Custard (@jamvscustard). As usual, their doughnuts were of an incredibly high standard. I’m obsessed with them.
Next up, my sister tried the vanilla latte cruffin from Orientee Bakery (@orienteebakery). All I have to say is this: WOW!
Finally, I decided to get some treats from Made with Fudge (@made_with_fudge) for later in the day. I’m not sure what these treats are called but they came in 4 flavours – biscoff, peanut butter, M&M and strawberry and prosecco. I got one of each. They were soooo lovely and I can’t wait to try their fudge next time!!

A week after the release of the federal government’s white paper on Australia in the Asian Century, the shape of the plan to reform school education, and its cost, is no clearer.
Even its ultimate goals are hazy. While the white paper promises access to learning one of the major Asian languages for every schoolchild, the commitment is only to offer access and encouragement to learn.
There is no guide as to what proportion of young people we want to see as fluent speakers of the four “priority" languages – Mandarin, Hindi, Indonesian and Japanese.
Nor is there any guidance as to what education will be undertaken in other important Asian languages such as Korean, Thai and Vietnamese.
What is clear is that the cost, the commitment and the impact on other school subjects will be great.
The Australian Federation of Modern Language Teachers Associations said much more time would need to be allocated to learning languages if the white paper’s goals were to be achieved.
Federation vice-president Kylie Farmer, who teaches Japanese at a bilingual school in Victoria, said the government was to be applauded for the white paper, but lack of teachers and dedicated classroom time would be challenges.
She said the present national curriculum guidelines on the hours that children spend learning a particular language were not sufficient to produce the kinds of outcomes which were being discussed.
The government intends to step up the teaching of Asian languages as part of the school reforms following the
This means that scoping the changes, and funding them, will be part of the discussion between the federal government and the states about the Gonski reforms. And the states will have the ultimate responsibility for introducing the changes.
Even though there are no estimates yet of how many more language teachers may be needed, it is clear finding teachers will be a problem. There are already shortages, particularly in regional areas.
Another issue is having sufficient teachers available for particular languages. Hindi is one of the priority languages, but Ms Farmer said that mainstreaming Hindi teaching would be difficult. Of the federation’s 2000 members, only three are Hindi speakers. “A lot of effort has been put into Hindi and numbers are starting to grow," she said.
The government has mentioned the internet and the national broadband network as a means of broadening the ways languages are taught in schools.
“We see the internet as going some way, but it can’t magically solve the problems. Doing videoconferencing with one teacher beaming out to six schools cannot be the only way that students learn," Ms Farmer said.
Whatever the shape of the government’s final policy, it must first arrest the decline in teaching of Asian languages before it can begin to expand them. And it must deal with shortcomings already identified in language teaching.
A 2012 study by Claudia Prescott and Jane Orton of the Melbourne Graduate School of Education found the experience of studying Chinese was “rather a dismal one".
The study, titled Good Learners of Chinese: Profiles of Students in Secondary School, said: “Along with acknowledgement of encouraging, supportive teachers, lessons are described as dull, repetitive and frequently dysfunctional."
Ms Orton said last week that the white paper was disappointing. “What does it mean for every child to ‘have access’ to a language? It smacks to me of access to online courses – it doesn’t sound like there are going to be language teachers in every classroom," she said.
“Most of the people talking about languages are monolingual or bilingual through their background. They have never been classroom learners."

Japan, Japan, Fri, 08 Apr 2022 05:58:11 / Comserve Inc. / -- The Latin America aviation market is projected to grow with a CAGR of more than 1% during the forecast period.
The Latin America aviation market is projected to grow with a CAGR of more than 1% during the forecast period.
- The growth of low-cost carriers in the region is acting as a major driver for the growth of the aviation market in Latin America.
- The privatization of airports in countries, like Jamaica, Honduras, Paraguay, and Peru, is also supporting the growth of the aviation market in the region.
- However, economic instability has led to decreased expenditure by the government in a few countries, which can hamper the growth of the Latin American aviation market in the coming years.

Key Market Trends
The Commercial Segment is Expected to Experience the Highest Growth During the Forecast Period
The commercial segment of the Latin America aviation market is anticipated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Though the commercial aviation industry growth in the region is less compared to several regions in the world, the growth of LCCs in the region is expected to drive the market in the years to come. Azul, LATAM, GOL, Volaris, and JetSmart, some of the major airlines operating in the region, currently have huge aircraft order backlogs. In addition to regional airlines, foreign airlines are also expanding into this region. For instance, Norwegian Group launched Norwegian Air Argentina in January 2017 and commenced operations from October 2018 in Argentina. As the passenger traffic is growing, major airports in the region are undergoing renovation projects to increase their passenger and aircraft handling capacities. For instance, in March 2018, the Argentine government announced plans to invest USD 750 million in the expansion of Ezeiza International airport. The renovation of the airport will help it to accommodate four times the number of aircraft that it can handle currently. In Latin America, to boost the number of air passenger commercial airlines are providing attractive services like providing free checked baggage, competitively priced fares and announcing new routes. Many commercial airlines in the region are upgrading their aircraft fleet for instance, in October 2019, Mexican airline Interjet finalized a deal to buy 12 Airbus A220 passenger jets to replace its partly grounded fleet of Sukhoi Superjet regional aircraft. Such developments are expected to drive the Latin American Aviation market.
Currently Brazil Holds the Highest Market Share Among Other Countries in Latin America
As of 2019, Brazil had the highest market share in the Latin American aviation market. Brazil is one of the booming markets in the commercial aviation industry and is also one of the top 15 military spenders in the world. In the past few years, the Army and Navy of Brazil received funds to replace its aging aircraft fleet. Brazil signed a contract with Saab AB to acquire 36 Gripen NG fighter aircraft for the Brazilian Air Force worth USD 5.4 billion. The contract was signed in October 2014, with deliveries to begin by mid of 2019 and run through 2024. Similarly, in September 2019, the local aircraft manufacturer, Embraer, delivered the first of 28 multi-mission airlift KC-390 to the Brazilian Air Force. In the commercial sector, to improve the infrastructure for air travel across the country, the government of Brazil announced its plan to privatize 20 airports recently. Major commercial airlines are investing heavily in the procurement of new aircraft, for instance, the Brazilian commercial airline Azul placed an order of 51 Embraer E-Jet E2 family of aircraft and had received 6 aircraft by the end of 2019. Thus, the ongoing investments in airport infrastructure and the growing emphasis on airline fleet expansion to match the capacity demand are propelling the growth of the aviation market in Brazil.

Some of the prominent players in the Latin America aviation market are Embraer SA, Airbus SE, The Boeing Company, Bombardier Inc., and Lockheed Martin Corporation. The current ongoing talks on the partnership between Embraer and Boeing, under which Boeing plans to take 80% share in Embraer's commercial aircraft portfolio and aftermarket support services may have a positive impact over the aviation market in Latin America. Boeing and Embraer are also in plans to form a second joint venture for the manufacturing of KC-390 military transport aircraft, in which Embraer may hold a 51% stake and Boeing may hold the remaining 49%. These deals are expected to be completed once the regulatory issues are sorted. Such partnerships and joint ventures are expected to make the market more consolidated in the years to come.

Embracing the 'Native Indian' arts
One of the places we got to shop at on our trip to Oklahoma City yesterday, was the Cherokee Trading Post, a fave of mine. As the name suggests, they sell alot of handmade Native Indian items, ranging from gorgeous turquoise jewelry, clothing, collectibles, dream catchers and fantastic pottery.I haven't mentioned this before, but handmade pottery has always been a favourite of mine to collect. So much so, that I actually took pottery classes for a year in my thirties. I made quite a few things, my mum has my favourite piece in her garden, a big glazed pot that was way too heavy to ship here.As a consequence I am always really drawn to simple pottery designs and patterns. The last couple of times we made it to this store, I have loved this particular design and range, the artist is an Indian lady who signs them all. So yesterday I treated myself to one, with some of my Christmas money and I just thought I'd share it's beauty.Living as we do in what was formerly the 'Wild West', both the Hubster and I like to incorporate some western touches into our home. We specifically chose this squat shaped pot, so it's safe from Bon-Bon the terror kitten knocking it over, as she has to investigate and prod everything we bring in!

LyondellBasell announces August butadiene nomination in US
ExxonMobil’s August nomination was announced at 41 cents/lb with a 1 cent/lb increase from July while TPC Group announced its nomination at 34 cents/lb with a rollover from July, according to market players. Sources reported they have not heard nominations yet from Shell Chemicals.
ExxonMobil’s August nomination surprised many players who were expecting the contract to be nominated with a rollover or slight decreases because of improved supplies in July.
Sources reported that the July butadiene nomination was settled at a rollover from June at 34-40 cents/lb ($750-882/ton) in the US. TPC reportedly settled its July butadiene contract at 34 cents/lb, LyondellBasell and Shell Chemicals settled their contracts at 36 cents/lb; and ExxonMobil settled its contract at 40 cents/lb.

HARARE residents are crying foul over the “shambolic” billing system used by the city council which has seen rate-payers “accumulating” exorbitant bills for services they would not have been rendered, Harare Residents’ Trust director Precious Shumba has said.
PHILLIP CHIDAVAENZI SENIOR REPORTER
Shumba told NewsDay yesterday that several residents had approached the trust raising concern over the unjustifiable bills they were receiving. He said the trust suspected that the city was deliberately extorting money.
“What we have realised is that the problem could be emanating from the shambolic billing system used by the city, which is a deliberate ploy to extort money from residents,” he said.
Shumba said they had so far received more than 200 reports from residents, but they were dealing with each case on its merit before referring the aggrieved ratepayers to the municipality for possible redress.
He urged the council to resort to the old system where the due date for payment was the 7th of each month and not the last day to allow residents, many of whom are in the informal sector, time to honour their obligations.
He said although there were no problems with power utility Zesa, the major issues related to inconsistent load-shedding and the manipulation of the pre–paid system.
“The current billing system is open to manipulation by City Treasury officials and other senior managers who have unhindered access to the system’s servers,” he said.

- Councils defy govt fire tender directive
Shumba said residents had raised complaints of being short-changed after receiving power supplies that did not tally with the pre–payments they would have made.
The city’s director of water Christopher Zvobgo has since indicated that they would embark on a pilot project to install pre-paid water meters for a more efficient billing system.
“We want to introduce pre-paid water meters and we will soon roll out a pilot project. If we install pre-paid meters, then consumers can manage their own consumption, doing away with the billing system,” he said.

I have only recently discovered Adam Elliot thanks to my professor Christine Panuska. I told her about my epiphany in figuring out why I am choosing to do stop motion animation as a career change from being a fashion designer. I told her that I wanted to be a storyteller and I have so many stories of the people I knew, know that I want to tell from my having lived in Jersey City, NJ. My writing teacher mentioned that I should look at 'Shut Up Little Man' which I loved and Christine recommended I look up Adam Elliot.
I have been non-stop watching Adam Elliot's incredible clayographies, a word he invented, ever since. He tells stories people's biographies. A man after my own heart and what a remarkable storyteller he is. I cannot recommend his work highly enough and I have a roadmap now, an aspiration and a personal goal. It's nice not being confused anymore.

Leeks Lim/Daily Senior Staffer
At the annual Candlelight Vigil at Alice Millar Chapel, keynote speaker Don Thompson, whose office once boasted a portrait of Martin Luther King, Jr., shared his personal respect for King’s legacy.
“Dr. King is the part of all of us that we would like to come to the surface,” Thompson said.
Thompson — founder and CEO of Cleveland Avenue — told his story during a question and answer session at the event hosted by the Alpha Mu Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.
More than 100 people attended the celebration, which featured musical performances from Northwestern Community Ensemble and Soul4Real, as well as readings of King’s speeches and writings.
Also the former CEO of McDonald’s, Thompson talked about his background and said his education enabled his successful career. It is important to guide young people and give them “internal fire” to figure out their goals in life, he said.
In his message focused on “fulfillment,” Thompson told the story of his son, who spent his first paycheck to give to those in need. Medill freshman Arudi Masinjila told The Daily the keynote speech captured and honored King’s legacy of equality in justice and opportunity.
“(The message was) that fulfillment can come on a small scale as well, and helping one person is just as valid as helping many people,” Masinjila said.
Thompson said part of King’s message was to pay attention to discontent. If we don’t treat others with respect, he said, discontent ultimately leads to bigger problems and unrest.
“Every person has tremendous value and wonderful, interesting stories if you try to know them,” he said. “It’s a travesty to assume the only thoughts that matter were mine.”
JaVahn Iverson, president of the Alpha Mu chapter, told The Daily he chose Thompson as the keynote because he is an example of “the manifestation of King’s dream.”
Iverson said Thompson specifically represents “black excellence” and success that celebrates the sacrifices civil rights leaders like King fought for.
“(King’s dream) is definitely very, very different and more achieved than it was 55 years ago from when he gave that speech,” the McCormick junior said. “But as many people know, it still has a way to go. And I think it’s important that us who understand and acknowledge King’s vision get reminded of that on a daily basis so it never dies.”

text: Hydraulic fracturing is the industry standard for extracting hydrocarbons from shale formations. Attention has been paid to the economic benefits and environmental impacts of this process, yet the biogeochemical changes induced in the deep subsurface are poorly understood. Recent single-gene investigations revealed that halotolerant microbial communities were enriched after hydraulic fracturing. Here, the reconstruction of 31 unique genomes coupled to metabolite data from the Marcellus and Utica shales revealed that many of the persisting organisms play roles in methylamine cycling, ultimately supporting methanogenesis in the deep biosphere. Fermentation of injected chemical additives also sustains long-term microbial persistence, while thiosulfate reduction could produce sulfide, contributing to reservoir souring and infrastructure corrosion. Extensive links between viruses and microbial hosts demonstrate active viral predation, which may contribute to the release of labile cellular constituents into the extracellular environment. Our analyses show that hydraulic fracturing provides the organismal and chemical inputs for colonization and persistence in the deep terrestrial subsurface.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Time Warner Inc. and Microsoft Corp. are close to a deal to form an online-ad service for America Online that would lay down a challenge to Google Inc., according to reports published Tuesday.
Under the terms being discussed, AOL would drop Google as its primary provider of Internet search services and adopt Microsoft's MSN service, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing unnamed sources familiar with the talks. AOL currently relies on Google's search engine, and Google gives AOL part of the ad revenue that AOL customers generate. Read the Journal's story (subscription required).
The possibilities under discussion do not involve either company's buying a stake in AOL, The New York Times reported, citing an executive with knowledge of the talks, but instead will focus on Web search, advertising sales and possibly other areas.
The Journal reported that AOL still could choose instead to deepen its relationship with Google instead of doing a deal with Microsoft. Google's current contract with AOL is in effect until at least 2006.
Shares of Microsoft closed down 16 cents, or 0.6%, to $27.69, and Time Warner gained 2 cents to $18.25. Google fell $1.31, or 0.4%, to $404.54.
Financier and activist shareholder Carl Icahn has been pressuring Time Warner TWX to revamp its business strategy, and hired advisory firm Lazard Ltd. to analyze strategic alternatives for the media giant.


The Allahabad High Court on Tuesday directed the Uttar Pradesh government to file a status report within one week in the murder of journalist Jagendra Singh in Shahjahanpur, in which a SP Minister and five others have been booked.
The court asked government counsel to inform it about the stage of investigation by June 24 along with their objections raised during course of hearing the matter.
The order was passed by a vacation Division Bench of Justices Shri Narain Shukla and Pratyush Kumar on a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking directions for a CBI probe into the killing.
Plead for compensation
A direction has also been sought in the petition for providing adequate compensation to the deceased scribe’s family. On behalf of the government, Additional Advocate General Bulbul Godiyal raised preliminary objections regarding maintainability of the petition.
She contended that the FIR was lodged in this case on June 9 and soon after the PIL was filed on June 11. “It was only for gaining cheap publicity through print and electronic media by the petitioner,” she alleged.
The AAG also submitted that the investigation was going on and no one has come forward to question it except the petitioner, hence the PIL was not maintainable and liable to be dismissed.
She sought a week time to file these objections, which was granted by the court. The court while fixing June 24 as the next date of hearing directed the AAG to disclose the stage of the investigation by this date. Uttar Pradesh Chief Secretary, Principal Secretary (Home), DGP, ADG (Law and Order) and others have been made respondents in this matter.
Mr. Singh was allegedly set on fire by policemen on June 1 during a raid at his house at Vikas Colony in Sadar Bazar, Shahjahanpur. Singh died during the treatment at a hospital in Lucknow on June 8.
An FIR was registered against Minister of State for Backward Welfare Minister Ram Murti Singh Verma and five others, including the policemen, at Puwayan police station of Shahjahanpur by victim’s son Raghvendra.

A 22 YEAR-old Brockmoor man is living below the poverty line this week in a challenge to highlight Christian Aid.
Adam Hadley is spending just £1 on food and drink each day to get an insight into how the world’s poorest communities survive on so little, as well as raising funds for ongoing Christian Aid projects.
Adam, who is currently spending a gap year working with young people at Quinton Methodist Church, was inspired to take part in the challenge after taking part in a Christian Aid 12-day visit to Tajikistan in January.
He said: “The visit really had an impact on me. The generosity of the people there was beyond belief. They had so little, but gave us every little thing they had. They are people who do actually live on £1 a day and they spent it all on us.
“It was really humbling and made me think about things in a different way.
“I think it will be extremely difficult to cope with just £1 a day, so I’m going to have to shop around.”
The former Pensnett School of Technology pupil is hoping to raise £200 towards the work of Christian Aid. Last year more than £1m was raised worldwide from people carrying out the challenge.

Your post made me check out my post from, oh almost 5 years ago and it evidently didn't fair well from the board conversion to 2.0! I had to re-align it big time. It's hereviewtopic.php?f=57&t=454
Looking over yours I then checked my "his solo repertoire" songbook as I wondered if it was there and intentionally or not what you have is identical. So I'd never seen (hadn't even checked my book!) the bass G in the alternating bass line thingy and thus had to investigate as I hadn't heard/learned it with that -
From watching some vids and listening I could only see the bass G on the bottom once over the first form, the C, in the line. The rest, C7, C6, C+ seem to alternate as I show in my thread, the C note on the bottom (3 on the A string) alternating with the E note (2 on the D string). At times he also just barred the 5th fret with his index finger and walked down the D string from the Bb to the G.
That being said there is nothing stopping one from having the bass G alternating throughout and for all I know he played it that way at some point as well. I also have the bridge slightly different than the book (see the linked thread above) as I keep the C bass note throughout the 3 forms - the vids I watched seem to confirm this as well.

Slices of fresh pineapple poached in a tropical lime and rum syrup - the taste of the Caribbean from the Woman's Weekly test kitchen
- 125g (4oz) caster sugar
- Grated rind and juice of 2 limes
- 1tbsp rum, optional
- 1 medium pineapple, peeled, cored and sliced
- A few pineapple leaves, to decorate
- Pour 4tbsp of water into a pan and add the sugar. Place the pan over a medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Use a damp pastry brush to wash down any sugar crystals from the sides of the pan. Don’t stir the mixture any more, but allow it to simmer until it turns a pale golden colour.
- Remove the pan from the heat and then pour in 100ml (3½fl oz) water, taking care in case it splatters. Swirl the water around until it mixes with the caramelised sugar to give a pale golden syrup. If necessary, return the pan briefly to the heat to melt the sugar.
- Stir the lime rind and juice into the syrup, and the rum, if using.
- Place the pineapple slices in a bowl and pour the syrup over. Chill the pineapple, turning the slices occasionally in the syrup, for at least 4 hrs, or overnight.
- Serve pineapple slices with some of the syrup spooned over them, and use a few pineapple leaves as decoration.

Are you struggling to keep your Dumb Cane plant alive? Don’t fret, we’ve got you covered! With just eight simple steps, you can revive your wilting plant and keep it thriving for years to come.
First, you’ll need to identify the problem with your plant. Is it losing leaves or wilting? Once you’ve identified the issue, it’s time to take action.
You’ll need to trim any damaged leaves and isolate and clean the pot. Inspect the roots for rot and cut away any damaged roots.
Maintaining high humidity is crucial, so be sure to keep the plant in a suitable environment. Avoid fast-acting fertilizers and water the plant properly.
Finally, control the amount of sunlight and temperature to ensure your plant is healthy and thriving. Follow these eight steps, and you’ll have a happy and healthy Dumb Cane plant in no time!
- Dumb Canes can survive in tough conditions but rapid wilting and leaf loss indicate a serious problem.
- First step is to stabilize the environment away from direct sun and temperature stress, and prune dead foliage to allow for recovery.
- Check soil for signs of over/underwatering, inspect and prune roots for signs of rot, and keep humidity above 70%.
- Use a blend of perlite, coconut coir, orchid bark, and vermicompost for DIY potting mix and propagate from stem cuttings if necessary.
Identify the Problem
Identify the problem with your dying Dumb Cane plant by checking for signs of rapid wilting, leaf loss, and inspecting for pests. Common causes of a dying Dumb Cane plant include over or underwatering, pest infestations, poor soil quality, and exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Prevention techniques include keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged, avoiding over-fertilization, providing adequate humidity, and keeping the plant away from direct sunlight or temperature stress.
Inspecting the foliage for signs of pests is also important. Spider mites, mealybugs, and scale insects can all cause serious damage to Dumb Cane plants. Treat any pest infestations with neem oil or alcohol, making sure to thoroughly cover both the tops and undersides of the leaves.
Once you’ve identified the problem, you can move on to the next step in reviving your dying Dumb Cane plant.
Trim Damaged Leaves
To start nursing your Dumb Cane plant back to health, trim away any damaged leaves using pruning scissors. Make sure to avoid any jagged edges that could invite pests or disease. Removing damaged leaves will allow the plant to focus its energy on new growth and prevent further spread of any problems.
To prevent pests from taking over your plant, use proper pruning techniques and sanitation. After trimming, make sure to sanitize your pruning tools with alcohol or bleach before using them again. Inspect the remaining foliage for any signs of pest activity, such as holes or webbing, and treat with neem oil or alcohol if necessary.
By keeping a close eye on your plant and taking preventative measures, you can help ensure its continued health and vitality.
Isolate and Clean Pot
Isolate the plant and clean the pot thoroughly to prevent any further spread of disease or pests. Use a mild soap solution or a mixture of water and vinegar to clean the pot and any tools used for pruning. Rinse thoroughly and let dry completely before repotting the plant.
When it comes to potting mix options, a blend of perlite, coconut coir, orchid bark, and vermicompost can provide the necessary drainage and nutrients for your Dumb Cane plant. Avoid using regular garden soil or heavy potting mixes that can hold onto too much moisture and lead to root rot. Make sure to also choose a pot that has drainage holes to allow excess water to escape. By taking these steps, you can help ensure that your Dumb Cane plant has a healthy and stable environment to recover in.

|Excitement||New potting mix|
Inspect the Roots
Inspecting the roots of your plant is crucial in determining if there’s any root rot present. Root rot prevention is one of the most important steps in reviving your dying Dumb Cane plant.
To do this, you need to carefully remove the plant from its pot and gently shake off the excess soil. Look for any mushy, black or brown roots. These are signs of root rot and they must be cut away immediately. Take a pair of sharp, clean scissors and cut away any damaged roots. Be sure to sanitize the scissors with alcohol or bleach before and after each cut to prevent the spread of disease.
Once you have removed all the damaged roots, it’s time to test the soil moisture. Testing soil moisture is important to see if your plant is over or under-watered. Grab a wooden chopstick and insert it into the soil.
If it comes out clean, the soil is too dry and you need to water your plant. If the chopstick comes out covered in soil, the soil is too wet, and you need to wait for it to dry out before watering again. Remember, Dumb Canes handle drought better than swampy soil, so make sure you don’t overwater your plant.
By inspecting the roots and testing soil moisture, you can prevent root rot and help your plant on its road to recovery.
Cut Away Damaged Roots
You need to grab a pair of sharp, clean scissors and cut away any damaged roots to prevent the spread of disease and promote the overall health of your plant. Pruning techniques are crucial in the recovery of your dying Dumb Cane, and it’s essential to pay attention to root health management.
When inspecting the roots, look for signs of discoloration, mushiness, or a foul odor. These are all indications of root rot, and it’s important to cut away any affected roots immediately.
Once you’ve identified the damaged roots, carefully trim away the offending sections. Be sure to make clean cuts, avoiding any jagged edges or tears in the remaining healthy roots. It may be necessary to remove a significant amount of the root system, depending on the severity of the damage.
Don’t be afraid to cut away more than you think you need to, as this will promote new growth and help your plant to thrive in the long run. With this simple step, you’re one step closer to reviving your dying Dumb Cane plant.
Sanitize and Repot
To sanitize and repot your Dumb Cane plant, gather a new pot with drainage holes, fresh potting mix, and a watering can.
Before repotting, sanitize the pot with a mix of water and bleach or alcohol. This’ll kill any lingering pests or diseases that may harm your plant. Once the pot is clean, mix your own DIY potting mix using a blend of perlite, coconut coir, orchid bark, and vermicompost.
This will provide a well-draining and nutrient-rich environment for your Dumb Cane plant to thrive in. When repotting, gently remove the plant from its old pot and inspect the roots.
Cut away any damaged or rotten roots with a clean pair of scissors. After sanitizing the remaining roots with alcohol, repot the plant into the new pot with fresh potting mix. Water the plant thoroughly and place it in a spot with indirect light and stable temperature.
To prevent pests from returning, spray your plant with neem oil or alcohol once a week. Following these steps will help your Dumb Cane plant recover and prevent future problems.
Now that your dumb cane’s been sanitized and repotted, it’s important to avoid stressors that could hinder its recovery.
Stress management is crucial for the health of any plant, and your dumb cane is no exception. Keep it cozy by maintaining stable temperature and humidity levels. You can use a humidifier or even cover the plant with a plastic bag to increase humidity.
Additionally, it’s important to establish a plant care routine that includes regular watering and fertilizing. However, be careful not to overwater or fertilize too soon after repotting. Wait at least a month before introducing fertilizer, and only water when the top two inches of soil are dry.
Avoid placing the plant in direct sunlight, and keep an eye out for any signs of stress such as wilting or leaf loss. With proper stress management and a consistent plant care routine, your dumb cane will be on its way to a healthy recovery.
Propagate from Stem Cuttings
Propagating from stem cuttings can be a great way to create new Dumb Cane plants and expand your collection. It is an easy and cost-effective method that can produce healthy plants in a matter of weeks. Stem cutting propagation involves taking a section of the stem, usually 4-6 inches long, and placing it in a rooting hormone before planting it in soil.
To successfully propagate from stem cuttings, you will need to follow a few steps. Firstly, choose a healthy stem that does not have any signs of damage or pests. Cut the stem at a 45-degree angle just below a node, and remove any leaves from the bottom half of the stem. Dip the bottom of the stem in rooting hormone, and plant it in a well-draining soil mixture. Keep the soil moist and provide indirect light, and within a few weeks, you should see new growth. Refer to the table below for a summary of the steps involved in stem cutting propagation.
|Steps for Stem Cutting Propagation|
|1. Choose a healthy stem||2. Cut stem at 45-degree angle below node||3. Remove leaves from bottom half of stem||4. Dip stem in rooting hormone|
|5. Plant in well-draining soil mixture||6. Keep soil moist and provide indirect light||7. Wait for new growth to appear|
Throw Away Potting Soil
If you notice root rot in your Dumb Cane plant, it’s crucial to throw away the potting soil to prevent further damage.
Here are some tips to help you dispose of the infected soil and revive your plant:
- Use a moisture meter to ensure proper watering and avoid overwatering, which can contribute to root rot.
- Create a new potting mix using coconut coir, orchid bark, and vermicompost to provide a well-draining soil that promotes healthy roots.
- Disinfect pruning scissors with alcohol or bleach before using them to trim away any dead foliage.
- Use a plastic bag or humidifier to maintain high humidity levels if necessary.
Additionally, it’s important to flush the soil with filtered water to remove any excess fertilizer or mineral buildup.
By following these steps and being vigilant about the health of your Dumb Cane plant, you can help it thrive and prevent future issues.
Remember to keep an eye on the soil moisture, avoid direct sunlight, and inspect the foliage regularly for any signs of pests or disease.
Maintain High Humidity
To maintain high humidity for your Dumb Cane plant, you should consider using a humidifier or placing a plastic bag over the plant. The Dumb Cane thrives in humid environments, and this is especially important when nursing a dying plant back to health.
A humidifier is an excellent option as it provides consistent moisture levels, and you can adjust the humidity to match the plant’s needs. If you don’t have a humidifier, you can place a plastic bag over the plant, leaving enough room for air to circulate. This creates a mini greenhouse effect and helps to trap moisture around the plant. Alternatively, you can mist the leaves regularly, or place the plant on a pebble tray with water to increase humidity levels.
Remember to keep an eye on the plant and adjust humidity levels as necessary. If the leaves start to turn brown or yellow, it may be a sign of too much moisture. On the other hand, if the leaves start to wilt or curl, it may be a sign of too little moisture.
By maintaining high humidity levels, you can create an optimal environment for your Dumb Cane plant to recover and thrive.
Avoid Fast-Acting Fertilizer
When trying to save a struggling Dumb Cane plant, it’s important to steer clear of fast-acting fertilizers for at least a month. While it may be tempting to provide the plant with a quick boost of nutrients, this can actually do more harm than good. Fast-acting fertilizers can burn the plant’s roots and cause further stress, making it more difficult for the plant to recover. Instead, opt for organic alternatives or slow release fertilizers that will provide a steady supply of nutrients over time.
To help you choose the right fertilizer for your Dumb Cane plant, here is a 2 column and 5 row table in markdown format:
|Type of Fertilizer||Pros||Cons|
|Organic alternatives||Gentle on the plant, provide long-lasting nutrients||May take longer to see results|
|Slow release fertilizers||Provide steady supply of nutrients, easy to use||Can be expensive, may not be suitable for all plants|
By choosing the right fertilizer for your Dumb Cane plant, you can help it recover and thrive. Remember to avoid fast-acting fertilizers for at least a month, and opt for organic alternatives or slow release fertilizers instead. With the right care and attention, your Dumb Cane plant can bounce back and become a beautiful addition to your home or garden.
Proper watering techniques are crucial for ensuring the health of your Dumb Cane plant. Here are four tips to help you manage soil moisture and avoid overwatering or underwatering:
Water only when the top two inches of soil are dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot, while underwatering can cause stress and leaf loss.
Use filtered or distilled water to avoid chlorine and other chemicals that can harm the plant. Allow the water to sit at room temperature for a few hours before watering to avoid temperature shock.
Make sure the pot has drainage holes to allow excess water to escape. Avoid using saucers or trays that can trap water and create a swampy environment.
Check the soil moisture regularly with a moisture meter or a wooden chopstick. If the soil feels dry, water thoroughly until water runs out of the drainage holes. If the soil feels moist, wait a few days before watering again.
By following these proper watering techniques and managing soil moisture, you can help your Dumb Cane plant recover and thrive. Remember to avoid overwatering and underwatering, and always check the soil moisture before watering.
Sunlight and Temperature Control
Managing sunlight and temperature is essential for the health of your Dumb Cane plant, so keep it in a location with indirect light and a stable temperature. Direct sunlight can cause sunburn on the leaves, while extreme temperatures can cause stress and wilting. It’s important to find a spot that provides consistent lighting and temperature throughout the day. You can use a thermometer to monitor the temperature of the surrounding environment and adjust accordingly.
To help you better understand how environmental factors can affect your Dumb Cane plant, here is a table outlining the ideal temperature and lighting conditions for your plant:
|Environmental Factor||Ideal Condition|
By following these guidelines, you can help your plant thrive and avoid common issues like sunburn and wilting. Remember to monitor your plant regularly and adjust as needed to ensure that it remains healthy and vibrant. With proper plant care and attention to environmental factors, your Dumb Cane can recover and grow into a beautiful addition to your home or office.

How would you like to be charged $1,000 for a car repair and then find out later that the market rate for that service is just $100? My guess is you would speed back to the repair shop and demand answers or a refund.
Unfortunately, a similar scenario is festering in Florida’s courtrooms when it comes to how medical service costs are calculated in injury lawsuits. The current system reflects costs based on what is called “transparency in damages.” In short, these are dollar amounts billed to patients for medical care as opposed to the actual amounts—figures that are often much lower—that were paid for treatment, usually by an insurer or government assistance.
The gap in these dollar figures can be significant, and Florida’s legal system incentivizes certain bad actors such as trial lawyers, medical financing companies, and even some medical providers to conceal the true costs of treatment for their clients in order to score huge paydays. In fact, our juries aren’t even allowed to know the amount billed. With nothing to stop them, why wouldn’t interested parties inflate that number to line their own pockets?
Well, any upstanding attorney or medical professional wouldn’t, especially if they knew the victims of this lawsuit abuse are everyday Floridians like you and me, as well as our state’s thousands of small businesses. But unlucky for us, this isn’t the world we live in. Instead, insurance premiums go up for everyone when insurers are forced to factor in the far more expensive verdicts in our state. Additionally, consumer prices increase, and jobs are lost when businesses are on the hook for claims. As things stand, Florida families are bankrolling a crony system, and most don’t even know it.
This has gotten so out of hand, that “medical financing” is now a thriving industry here in Florida. These companies offer to pay the full costs of care for victims, knowing the odds of a much higher award in court are quite good, and they will likely receive a significant return on their “investment.” Similarly, many providers work with attorneys to persuade clients to forgo health insurance and sign a “letter of protection.” In both cases, lawyers are often in league with certain financing companies or providers they know will order unnecessary tests and procedures to drive up the cost of the medical care. Unfortunately, what is rarely disclosed is that victims end up as the only ones with anything to lose. Having been swindled into forgoing insurance assistance, they are on the hook for a much higher cost of treatment should their case go the wrong way in court.
This blatant abuse is perfectly depicted in the case of a Florida plaintiff who slipped and fell in the grocery store, injuring both knees and requiring identical surgery on each. The plaintiff used health insurance for the first surgery and was billed $19,000 but only paid $3,400 out of her own pocket. The plaintiff used a letter of protection for the second procedure and was billed $59,000. Without this key information, a jury is left with no options. If the plaintiff is a victim and deserves medical compensation, they can only award the dollar figure that’s been disclosed. And while the plaintiff may “win,” the attorneys, financing companies, and providers score a windfall of $55,600 paid for by us through higher premiums and prices.
Unfortunately, more and more personal injury cases like this are being filed in Florida each day, bloating our justice system, and indirectly ripping off everyone who lives, works, and pays taxes here. To change this, it seems logical that defendants should be allowed to compare the market value of certain procedures with what is billed in Florida in order to weed out inflated costs. It also seems reasonable that jurors should be made aware of what medical services have been paid for, what those costs were, and who paid for them.
In reality, any of the above solutions would be a dramatic step forward for our state. With record inflation, rising interest rates, and a labor shortage already wreaking havoc on our economy, the last thing Florida needs is additional unnecessary economic strain. It cannot stand that our civil justice system is being manipulated by bad actors and exploited for financial gain. Florida voters must let our lawmakers know that transparency in damages reform is a top priority.

Microsoft is showing off a pair of 3D games at GDC, but did not allow video or photos during the demonstration. Engadget has all the specifics and Microsoft has released a number of screenshots that give us an idea of what’s in store.
The game shown here is Harvest, a side-scrolling touch based game, being developed by Luma Arcade. The other game is Battle Punks, being developed by Gravity Bear. It’s still early, but these certainly look impressive.

India.Arie’s Seattle: Get Plugged In!
In this episode of the online competition series “Plugged In,” Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter India.Arie takes viewers to Seattle, where she puts our six contestants to the test with new challenges of stamina, problem solving and driving skills. The contestants, working in teams of two and using the all-new 2012 Ford Focus Electric, unravel India.Arie’s clues about her favorite Emerald City locations and activities, which lead them on adventurous challenges, uniquely linked to India.Arie’s personal life. The teams compete to earn “butterfly” points, with the ultimate goal of representing Seattle in the finale and competing with winners in nine other cities for a chance to win the all-new Focus Electric.
Our first challenge takes the contestants to a local music store, Dusty Strings. Established in 1979, Dusty Strings builds instruments such as harps and dulcimers, offers musical classes, and is one of India.Arie’s favorite places in Seattle. Here, each team will have 15 minutes to write, compose, and practice an original song. A panel selected by India.Arie and consisting of the Dusty Strings’ manager, a local harpist, and a local recording artist will pick the best song.
For the second challenge, India.Arie sends the team participants on a scavenger hunt to visit some of her most beloved locations in the Seattle area. The contestants must try to reach as many as possible during the allotted time, taking a picture in each location and uploading their photo to Flickr at http://www.flickr.com/groups/fordpluggedin/.
Our first location is Plum Bistro, where teams must snap a photo in front of the restaurant to earn butterfly points. India.Arie first stumbled across this vegan restaurant online while on tour, but it quickly grew to become one of her favorite restaurants in Seattle. Benaroya Hall, home to the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, is another stop on the scavenger hunt. The singer kicked off her Open Door tour here last year. She also can’t get enough of jewelry and fun boutiques, and her shop of choice in Seattle is The Finerie. India’s mother is a designer, so whenever she attends one of her fashion shows her attention is always drawn to the jewelry.
The final challenge takes the contestants to Alki Kayak Tours where they get to experience India.Arie’s favorite feature of the Emerald City: the water. Teams compete in a kayak race, taking off from Alki Beach Park and circling back for a sprint to the finish. The team finishing first will win the challenge and move on to the finale in Los Angeles for their chance to win a brand new Ford Focus Electric.


Application Note: Discriminating Heparin from Chondroitin Sulfate by Charge:Mass Ratio
18 January 2017
In this study, heparin from two suppliers is compared, including one lot modified with super-sulfated material. Characterizing key parameters of different heparin lots requires multiple techniques. Weight-average molar mass measured by multi-angle static light scattering (MALS) and hydrodynamic radius measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS) can be used to characterize the size and polydispersity of the molecule. These quantities can also be used for lot-to-lot comparison and to qualify heparin from different suppliers.
