GDDR6 boosts memory bandwidth available to the GPU(Opens in a new window) considerably. Standard GeForce GTX 1660 graphics cards have just 192GB/s of bandwidth, but the GeForce GTX 1660 Super has 336GB/s of bandwidth. This keeps the graphics processor better fed with data, which in turn is then able to perform better.
Zotac's GeForce GTX 1660 Super Twin Fan graphics card comes with a dual-fan cooler that sits on an aluminum heatsink with liquid-filled heatpipes that make direct contact with the GPU. This card also provides active cooling for the GDDR6 VRAM.Zotac opted to not factory overclock this card, which means it operates at Nvidia's suggested clock speed of 1,530MHz. The GeForce GTX 1660 Super Twin Fan's boost clock is also unchanged at 1,785MHz.
Our sister site PCMag(Opens in a new window) received one of these graphics cards from Zotac and tested it against several other GPUs.
Testing against several other graphics cards showed that Zotac's GeForce GTX 1660 Super Twin Fan graphics card came directly between the GeForce GTX 1660 and the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti in 3DMark's Fire Strike Ultra test. This is also the case with 3DMark's Time Spy test.
The GTX 1660 Super maintained a steady lead above the GTX 1660 in Unigine's Superposition 1.0 test. It also handily outperformed the XFX Radeon RX 590 Fatboy, and overall it performed closer to the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti than the vanilla GTX 1660.
In real-world game tests, the GTX 1660 Super continued to perform well. At least for the most part; whereas the GTX 1660 Super showed sizable performance gains over the RX 590 and GTX 1660 in Far Cry 5, it's performance in Shadow of the Tomb Raider was significantly lower. It actually returned the worst performance in this last test, but this appears to be due to poor driver optimization and not a fault of the card itself.
Overall, Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1660 Super is a rather strange graphics card for Nvidia to introduce. Nvidia set the MSRP on the GTX 1660 Super GPU just $10 above the vanilla GTX 1660. Zotac's model, featured in this review, is just $10 higher than that at $239.99. This removes almost any reason to buy the regular GTX 1660 as the GTX 1660 Super has shown to perform so much better.
At the same time, it's harder to justify springing for the more expensive GTX 1660 Ti as the performance gap between it and the new GTX 1660 is relatively small. In general, if you are buying a graphics card for between $200 and $300, this is the one I'd recommend.Now read:

AHDB: Multifactorial approach tailored to each farm needed for effective removal of ZnO from pig diets
Zinc Oxide (ZnO) has been used for many years in the pig sector in both the UK and the EU to reduce diarrhea in post-weaned pigs. However, as a result of potential risks to the environment and regulations set by the EU, the therapeutic use of ZnO in pig diets was banned from the summer 2022.
The European Commission’s Implementing Decision on Zinc Oxide in 2017 formed part of retained EU law, post Brexit. The UK Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) granted an extension however, allowing the industry to use up any product purchased before its shelf-life expired.
Predictions were that supplies of ZnO would be exhausted this summer. “We do anticipate that, in the near future, stocks will run out and that we won’t be able to use ZnO anymore,” said Dr Charlotte Evans, head of engagement (pork), at AHDB.
Collaboration is key
While there is no direct alternative to replace ZnO, producers should already have been collaborating with their vets, staff, and nutrition providers in terms of the relevant action and mitigation plans, she said.
“The feed industry has known this has been coming for quite a long time and, of course, for those companies that operate in different EU countries, they will have had some experience in ZnO removal; they have already gone through the process,” she told FeedNavigator.
Evans said approaches such as getting piglets to take solid feed sooner, being consistent with feed changes, and focusing on more fundamentals in feed management are expected to help.
AHDB recently published a review of the research in relation to effective ZnO removal strategies, targeting pig nutrition, management, and immunity. The summaries are aimed at helping farmers, their vets, and nutritionists as they navigate the changes.


JEFFERSON COUNTY, Fla. (WTXL) — A man was found dead in a vehicle in Jefferson County Friday night.

Tourist jailed for urinating on statue
Wednesday 20 February 2008
A British tourist who urinated on one of Latvia's most revered monuments was made an example of by the Baltic state yesterday and sentenced to five days in custody.
Increasing numbers of foreigners are abusing the Freedom Monument, or Brivibas Piemineklis, which was erected in Riga in 1935 in memory of those who fought for Latvian independence. The 42-metre-high statue is seen as an important symbol of the state's sovereignty and is a focal point for public gatherings.
But now, stag parties and rowdy gatherings in the area have led to a spate of incidents at the monument. Yesterday, the Latvian Interior Minister, Mareks Seglins, described the principle culprits as "those English pigs".
The latest of the alleged perpetrators, a 34-year-old man from London, is the first to be locked up rather than fined after urinating on the monument, The Baltic Times newspaper said. According to the report, the man unusually pleaded not guilty, claiming his trousers accidentally fell down "in a moment of horseplay" when he was on the monument's steps, which can be accessed from the street.
The incident is the latest to have upset the Latvian authorities. Last year, a 23-year-old Scot was detained after clambering on to the monument and exposing himself by pulling up his kilt.
The newspaper added: "The perpetrators are widely perceived to be British and Irish stag party-goers who become inebriated and then choose to empty their bloated bladders in the shadows of the Freedom Monument, unaware of both its historical significance and the fact that police keep a close watch on it day and night."
The jail sentence comes after Riga's Mayor, Janis Birks, voiced concern at the leniency shown by the authorities. And the National Police Chief, Aldis Lieljuksis, has suggested that a 15-day custodial sentence would be appropriate.
Other nationalities including Poles and Norwegians have also been apprehended on or near the Freedom Monument for a variety of reasons, including attempting to scale the monument itself. In the latest incident, "the court took into account the fact that [the accused] was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the offense," The Baltic Times said.
The British embassy in Riga instructs visitors: "Do not urinate in public – always use a toilet. It is not worth going to jail or paying an expensive fine."

Last night Boris Johnson announced restrictions on movement unprecedented in most of our lifetimes – not even during the 1st and 2nd World Wars were citizens directed not to leave their homes save for exceptional (and prescribed) reasons. Public gatherings of more than 2 people are banned, as are weddings and baptisms (funerals are allowed).
The Prime Minister has declared a ‘moment of national emergency’ enabling the police to enforce the new lockdown/quarantine (call it what you will) measures which includes fines for any breach. As has been the theme of this crisis, the announcement has left many confused about what they can and cannot do. In summary, all non-essential businesses must close with the only outlets remaining open being those delivering food, medicine, health care, hardware, post offices, laundrettes, banks car rentals and newsagents.
We can only leave our homes for one of the following four reasons:-
- Shopping for necessities – as infrequently as possible;
- For a medical need which includes providing care or assistance to a vulnerable person.
- One piece of exercise a day such as going for a run, a walk or possibly a cycle and this must either be alone or with members of your household;
- Travelling to and from your place of work if that work is essential and cannot be done at home.
Further, the Government states that:
‘These four reasons are exceptions – even when doing these activities, you should be minimising time spent outside of the home and ensuring you are 2 metres apart from anyone outside of your household.’
Undoubtedly these new measures are causing alarm and concern for all of society. As a family lawyer, I found that many of my clients were instantly panicked about whether they could see the children they do not live with, or, whether they could facilitate their children moving to the other parents’ home during lockdown. Parents’ confusion was heightened on early morning Britain today 24th March where Michael Gove informed Susanna Reid that the new measures meant that ‘children should stay in the home they are currently in and should not be moving between households…’ Susanna Reid called this ‘roulette lockdown.’
I am pleased to say that Michael Gove have corrected his earlier comments and has since clarified and confirmed that children under the age of 18 can move between the homes of separated parents. This is supported in the Government Guidance which can be found at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/full-guidance-on-staying-at-home-and-away-from-others/full-guidance-on-staying-at-home-and-away-from-others particularly the following paragraph is essential reading for families:-
‘If you work in a critical sector outlined in this guidance, or your child has been identified as vulnerable, you can continue to take your children to school. Where parents do not live in the same household, children under 18 can be moved between their parents’ homes’
My message to parents during this difficult time is to limit the movement of your children. If possible, increase the time the children spend with each parent to say 1 week on and 1 week off. This arrangement would result in a) more quality time with each parent whilst the children are off school and parents are at home b) as above, reduce movement which is the purpose of the lockdown and c) offer an opportunity for any symptoms to show (parent or child) during the time with one parent thus hopefully reducing the risks of transmission.
Clearly there is the risk that the children will be with one parent and that family must put themselves into self-isolation. These are the unprecedented times we now live in and we just have to roll with the punches and get through this as best we can – hopefully unscathed.

Yahoo's chairman fights Icahn's accusations
SAN FRANCISCO | Yahoo's chairman, Roy Bostock, rejected late Thursday accusations from the billionaire investor Carl C. Icahn that the company's board had acted irrationally in turning down a $47.5 billion takeover offer from Microsoft and repeated that Yahoo remained open to a deal at the right price.
Icahn announced earlier in the day that he intended to initiate a proxy fight to replace Yahoo's board with 10 new directors that would try to negotiate a merger with Microsoft. Icahn said he hoped Yahoo would resume merger negotiations with Microsoft and make the proxy fight unnecessary.
Yet even as Icahn moved ahead with his efforts to get Yahoo back to the negotiating table, the potential suitor, Microsoft, has given no indication that it would be willing to return. A Microsoft spokesman declined to comment about Icahn's efforts on Thursday and repeated that the company had 'moved on.'
In a letter addressed to Bostock, Icahn said: 'It is clear to me that the board of directors of Yahoo has acted irrationally and lost the faith of shareholders and Microsoft.' Icahn said that Microsoft's final $33-a-share bid was a 'superior alternative to Yahoo's prospects on a stand-alone basis.'
Yahoo's shares closed at $27.75 on Thursday, up 61 cents.

Mobile Clinic goes to Platres village
Mobile Clinic goes to Platres village for screening of ophthalmological diseases
On the 10th November 2018, the Mobile Clinic of University of Nicosia Medical School in collaboration with the travelled to Platres to perform ophthalmology checks.
The Mobile Clinic team made a first stop in Limassol, at the Pantheo Eye Center, to pick up the necessary equipment for the expedition and to receive refresher training in visual acuity testing.
In Platres, the clinic was hosted in a historic marketplace, which proved to be a remarkable venue for these vision checks. The space is being renovated to act as a local community historical centre.
Sixty-eight patients came from four surrounding villages and were treated to lavender tea and treats while waiting for their exams.
The student volunteers were responsible for taking patient histories and performing visual acuity testing.
They also had the opportunity to observe, assist and learn from Drs Theodoros Potamitis, Katia Papastavrou, Savvas Christou and Anthi Mina, who performed the screenings for ophthalmological diseases.
Throughout the visit, it was clear that a sense of community lay at the heart of this clinical activity. The Community leader, Mr Panayiotis Papadopoullos, sees events like this as not only a public service, but also as an opportunity for the community to become closer, stating that in Platres “hospitality is a part of life.”
Student volunteers: Chrisostomos Muwonge, Liam Chung, Ed Emslie, Mehran Modasser, Peter McGhee, Sam Janion, Catriona Walker, Sandra El- Daccache, Daniella Toumazis, Alicia Wright, Ioannis Balanos, Muhanad Matar, Hannah Turner, Jennifer Lyons

The Boulevard Theatre is unlikely to reopen as a producing theatre. They state that: "It is with a hugely heavy heart that due to the unprecedented effects that Covid-19 has had on the theatre industry and our local area of Soho, the Boulevard will have to remain closed until it is economically viable and safe to open our doors again. The Boulevard was in its infancy as a company, which brings about its own challenges, but coupled with the uncertainty surrounding when theatres can re-open to full capacity and the difficulty in viably operating a small venue in a Covid-secure manner, we are left with no choice but to remain closed."
The Boulevard Theatre opened in Soho in 2019 and has a seating capacity of 165. The auditorium can be used flexibly to accommodate all types of productions. Discover more about the Boulevard Theatre here.
The original Boulevard Theatre site began as a sister venue to the Raymond Revuebar, running under the same name, and providing additional bar and restaurant facilities alongside gaming tables. It later became a small theatre in its own right, known as the ‘Elle et Lui’ theatre.
Previously, the Boulevard Theatre was home to erotica, stand-up comedy and straight plays, and famously known as the home of Peter Richardson’s Comic Strip which launched the careers of many household names. Now, the Boulevard features wide programming, led by artistic director Rachel Edwards.

Restoring White-tailed Eagles to Wales
A study to assess the feasibility of re-establishing a breeding population of White-tailed Eagles (WTE) within Monmouthshire, Newport, and the South Wales coast, restoring what was once part of Wales’ biodiversity, culture, and heritage prior to their extinction in the early 19th Century. Recent research has identified WTEs as a key missing component of marine and freshwater ecosystems in Wales.
European efforts to restore WTEs has evidenced the wider benefits this species brings to regional conservation, ecosystems, and tourism. A WTE restoration programme in Wales would not only be of Welsh, but UK and European importance to the conservation of this species. The Wye Valley & Severn Estuary are recognised as internationally important areas for wildlife and preliminary studies indicate the region supports an abundance of suitable breeding habitat for WTEs
(c.3,552.7 km²) – with 41% of suitable habitat situated within Monmouthshire and 16.3 % in Newport. The reintroduction of WTEs to these regions would help showcase and contribute to Wales’s progressive stance towards biodiversity and ecosystem restoration.
Total project cost: £17,710.00 RDP Amount: £14,168.00

By Yoo Jee-ho
SEOUL, Jan. 13 (Yonhap) -- Have glove. Will travel.
South Korean free pitcher Yang Hyeon-jong would love to travel to the United States this winter to chase his major league dream, a raging coronavirus pandemic notwithstanding.
With each passing day, though, it is becoming increasingly unlikely that Yang, who has been with the Kia Tigers since 2007, will get to live that dream this year. That the 2017 Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) MVP is coming off a down year isn't helping.
In a winter of discontent with several big league free agents left unsigned a dozen days into the new year, Yang has been largely forgotten.
In the slow-developing market, time isn't on Yang's side. The left-hander has set a self-imposed deadline of mid-January to pick his destination, be it the KBO or Major League Baseball (MLB), so that he will have more clarity as to how he should prepare for the new season. KBO training camps open at the start of February, and MLB camps are scheduled to follow just a couple of weeks later.
Yang couldn't have picked a worse time than 2020 to have such a poor season. He posted a 4.70 ERA last year, his worst as a full-time starter, while going 11-10 in 31 starts. His ERA sat at 5.88 at the end of July, and the southpaw had to put up a 3.72 ERA across his final 16 starts to bring the season number down to a more respectable level.
Other numbers took a beating, too. He walked 3.34 batters per nine innings, his highest in five seasons. He issued 64 walks in 172 1/3 innings in 2020 after allowing only 33 free passes in 184 2/3 innings the previous year.
Also in 2020, Yang's walks and hits per innings pitched (WHIP) amounted to 1.42. It was his worst figure since 2014.
Though Yang threw his four-seam fastball harder than he had the previous six seasons, he hit the strike zone only 42.5 percent of the time, the lowest in that same span.
Yang's wins above replacement using FanGraphs' formula, or fWAR, came to 2.56. This means he was worth only about two and a half wins more to the Tigers than a replacement-level pitcher would have been in 2020. Yang had never posted an fWAR below 3.79 as a full-time starter.
Recency bias will likely lead major league clubs to conclude Yang isn't worthy of their investment, with his long track record of KBO success shoved aside.
It was only in 2017 that Yang was voted the regular season MVP here, thanks to a 20-6 record and a 3.44 ERA. He earned the Korean Series MVP award that same season by leading the Tigers to their first championship in eight years. Yang pitched a complete game shutout and saved the clinching game in that series.
Yang was even better in 2019, when he was 16-8 with a 2.29 ERA in 29 starts. He served up just six home runs in 184 2/3 innings and had a 7.41 fWAR.
This is Yang's second knock on MLB doors. He was posted by the Tigers after the 2014 season but couldn't land a deal then. A mysterious club won the bidding for the exclusive rights to negotiate with Yang, but the Tigers weren't satisfied with the winning amount and pulled Yang back from the market.
In each of the ensuing six seasons since deciding to stay with the Tigers, Yang has thrown at least 170 innings. In that span, the workhorse left-hander leads all KBO pitchers with 85 wins, 10 complete games, 925 strikeouts and 1,119 1/3 innings pitched.
Yang's agent, Choi In-gook, said last week that some teams trying to fill out their rotation have shown interest, and added Yang will not accept a split contract, which pays players different salaries based on time spent in the majors and the minors.
Choi also predicted that talks could pick up speed once the posted Japanese ace Tomoyuki Sugano came off the board.
Sugano, the Yomiuri Giants star, failed to sign a deal by his deadline last week and returned to his Nippon Professional Baseball. Sugano, a two-time Central League MVP, was regarded as the best Asian pitcher to be made available this winter. If the potential top-of-the-rotation material like Sugano can't find a suitor, what chances does someone like Yang, seen as a notch below Sugano, have to sign a big league deal?
It could be a while before Yang finds out the answer, if he wants to wait for it at all.


BMW has revealed its new 2-Series Active Tourer, with the five-seater coming with a pair of plug-in hybrid powertrains, alongside petrol and diesel offerings.
The car is available to order now, and due to arrive in the UK next March in petrol and diesel form, with the PHEVs following in early summer.
Those plug-ins get a big range boost over the current model, which has a range of 32 miles. The new model goes up to a maximum of 49 miles, giving it a healthy four-band drop in BiK. The two PHEVs are the 326hp 230e xDrive and the 225e xDrive with 245hp, and they join the 218d, 220i and 223i models.
The 150hp 218d is the most efficient, with the diesel engine offering CO2 emissions from 125g/km, while the 170hp 220i goes from 133g/km and the 218hp 223i is from 137g/km. The lower petrol is the entry point to the range at £30,265, rising by just over £1500 to the diesel and another £895 to the 223i. The petrol engines get mild hybrid tech to provide a modest efficiency boost and 19hp of extra performance, and all models come with the seven-speed Steptronic automatic transmission.
The Active Tourer is the first compact BMW to get the latest Operating System 8, which comes with the new iDrive control system and curved display of 10.7 inches, alongside the 10.25-inch dashboard. Up to now, it’s only appeared on the iX and i4 EVs coming late this year.
Connectivity includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, as well as over-the-air software updates, and the three trim levels of Sport, Luxury and M Sport will be offered. The entry model gets 17-inch alloys, LED headlights and Parking Assistance with reversing camera as standard, with heated front leather seats among the upgrades for Luxury trim and the M Sport getting adaptive suspension, adaptive LED headlights, wireless charging and keyless entry.
The seven-seat 2-Series Gran Tourer is not being replaced.

Objective: The present study aimed to examine whether an E-prostanoid receptor 4 (EP4) agonist has superior protective effects to those of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) in a guinea pig model of noise trauma. Methods: Drugs were locally applied on the round window membrane of guinea pig cochleae, followed by exposure of the test animals to intense noise. Protective effects mediated by an EP4 agonist were compared with those mediated by PGE1. Auditory function was monitored by measurements of the auditory brainstem response (ABR), and histological damage was assessed by immunohistochemical analysis of cochlear specimens. Results: Animals treated with an EP4 agonist exhibited significantly better hearing recovery than those pretreated with PGE1. Histologically, the numbers of remaining outer hair cells in cochleae treated with the EP4 agonist were significantly higher than in those treated with PGE1. Conclusion: The selective activation of EP4 has a stronger protective effect on cochleae against noise trauma than does the broad activation of EPs by PGE1.

The Relevance of Compassion In the Workplace
The workplace is a mess. Over 50% of American workers are disengaged and frustrated. And despite their best intentions, each disengaged person stands in the way of progress and their own success. They are miserable. They make their colleagues miserable. And they risk being left behind as the workplace changes around them.
Some corporate programs attempt to address our disconnection from each other directly, through conversations about trust or emotional intelligence, for instance. No doubt these are important, but there’s a problem with this approach. If people are feeling insecure or unsatisfied, talking about caring for and about others is a very tough sell.
Based on my experience in corporations and working with elite special forces personnel, we first need to feel secure about four key needs.
To be engaged. Boredom, untapped talent, languishing skills, monotonous tasks, and a job that doesn’t demand and stretch our best will never be fulfilling or produce great work. And unfulfilled workers cost billions of dollars in productivity, even as they work more hours. While we each have a responsibility for our own engagement, employers must facilitate that ownership through education, development, and regular conversations about maximizing talent.
To belong. Each of us needs to be aligned with the mission of our organizations and to feel like we fit in with the people and how things are done. We don’t have to agree with everything or everyone, but we should feel good about how we disagree, how we arrive at decisions, and how we support each other.
To make a difference. Even in the most team-oriented culture, each of us has a unique contribution to make. For our work to be meaningful, there must be something that would not have happened without US. If this isn’t our experience, we need to get busy and think of ways our contributions can make a difference to others on our team. We should start with asking them.
To have a future. This means caring about the worker more than the job. Leaders should know which skills and capabilities are likely to be needed in the years to come and require and enable their people to prepare—even if it guarantees the worker will someday leave the company. If a leader doesn’t have some idea of what’s coming, then I’m not sure where they are leading.
With these big four needs met, we are much more likely to treat each other with respect and dignity, and to be open to other perspectives. We are much more likely to care and to be curious about the people around us, rather than judging them based on stereotypes. An experience of personal relevance must come before conversations about compassion or trust can have a meaningful impact.
Compassion in the workplace starts with the self, specifically a flawed, but resourceful, contributing, confident, resilient, and relevant self. This “self” stops being part of the problem of disconnection and can take an active, productive role in making our workplaces humane, productive, exciting, and inclusive.
Yes, the workplace is a mess. But it doesn’t have to stay that way.

Medicaid is a program that provides health care coverage for certain low- and moderate-income people and families. Medicaid is jointly funded by the federal government and the states, and each state has its own rules about who is eligible to receive Medicaid benefits.
In general, people who have low incomes and few resources may be eligible for Medicaid. Some states have expanded their Medicaid programs to cover additional groups of people, such as low-income adults without children, pregnant women, and people with disabilities.
To learn more about Medicaid eligibility in your state, visit www.healthcare.gov/lower-costs/eligibility/.
Who is eligible for medical assistance?
In order to be eligible for medical assistance, your household income must not exceed the guidelines set forth by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services. The following chart lists the maximum monthly income a household can earn and still qualify for medical assistance.
Household Size|Monthly Income Limit
How much income is considered low enough to qualify for medical assistance?
To be eligible for medical assistance in Pennsylvania, your household income must fall below a certain level. The exact amount varies depending on your family size and circumstances, but generally speaking, if your income is at or below 138% of the federal poverty level, you may qualify for assistance.
Income levels are updated each year to account for changes in the cost of living. For 2020, the federal poverty level is $12,490 for an individual and $25,750 for a family of four. That means that in order to qualify for medical assistance in Pennsylvania, your household income must be at or below $16,971 for an individual or $34,846 for a family of four.
If you have questions about whether you qualify for medical assistance in Pennsylvania or would like help applying for benefits, please contact your local county Office of Income Maintenance.
What are the asset limits for medical assistance?
In order to qualify for medical assistance, an individual’s countable assets must not exceed $2,000 for an individual or $3,000 for a couple. However, some assets are not counted when determining eligibility for medical assistance. These “exempt” assets include:
-One’s primary residence
How do I apply for medical assistance?
In order to apply for medical assistance, you will need to fill out an application and submit it to your local county office. You can find the application online at https://www.compass.state.pa.us/Compass.Web/ProviderEnrollment/ openings or you can pick up a paper copy at your local county office.
If you are not already enrolled in a managed care organization (MCO), you will also need to choose one when you apply for medical assistance. You can find more information about MCOs here: https://www.compass.state.pa.us/Compass.Web/ConsumerEnrollment/ ManagedCareOrganizations
Your local county office will determine if you are eligible for medical assistance based on your income, assets, and other factors. To be eligible for medical assistance, your income must be at or below the following guidelines:

Spotlight on Maurice Sendak: Children’s Book Must-Haves
Maurice Sendak is one of the most iconic picture book writers/illustrators of all time – and likely a favorite from your own childhood. Born in New York City in 1928, he illustrated more than eighty books before writing his own, which include favorites such as the Little Bear series, Outside Over There and the beloved classic, Where the Wild Things Are.
His striking artwork and childlike imagination largely originated from his own childhood experiences. Often ill, Sendak drew pictures to pass the time. And his infamous wild things are actually interpretations of some of his own aunts and uncles and others – disheveled, with dreadful teeth, and unruly hair growing from unbecoming places.
His career as an illustrator began while working as a window display artist at the F.A.O. Schwarz toy store, when he met Ursula Nordstrom – children’s author and Editor-in-Chief of juvenile books at Harper & Row.
While Sendak is known to be one of the most controversial picture book writers – what with some less-than-prudish illustrations and child characters who just won’t behave, he is one with undeniable talent. Here’s the absolute best of Maurice Sendak – must-haves for any kid’s library:
Chicken Soup with Rice
Originally published in 1962, this charming book helps children learn about the 12 months of the year through singsong, lyrical rhyme that will get them craving Grandma’s favorite recipe. The book’s protagonist is a young boy who makes a case for eating chicken soup every month of the year. Children will enjoy the author’s familiar illustrations, showing the little boy enjoying his best-loved meal throughout the seasons – in strange and unlikely situations. The funny scenes and lyrical verse makes this a favorite for repeat readings.
In the 1970s, Sendak teamed up with American singer/songwriter Carole King to create a musical called Really Rosie. Check it out with your wee ones and you can have Chicken Soup with Rice in song form – any month of the year.
In the Night Kitchen
The author’s most controversial book, In the Night Kitchen tells of a toddler named Mickey who dreams of floating out of his pajamas and landing in a giant bowl of batter in the Night Kitchen. Three identical bakers are preparing the batter oblivious to the young boy’s presence until he jumps out of the bowl. Mickey constructs a plane from bread dough and flies safely back to his bed . . . and his pajamas.
Because of the illustrations in this book, which include a fully naked little boy that leaves nothing to the imagination, and because of some opinions that the book contains inappropriate overtones, In the Night Kitchen has been included on the American Library Association’s list of Banned and Challenged Books for more than a quarter of a century. If you’re ok with birthday suits, it’s a must-read in your family.
Outside Over There
If you didn’t know Sendak was the author and illustrator of this book, you wouldn’t ever guess it to be true. While using similar subdued colors, the artwork is lacking the more cartoonish appearance with which the author’s fans are familiar.
Containing beautiful, dreamy, realistic pictures, the book tells the tale of Ida and her baby sister. Ida’s father is away at sea and her mother is in the arbor while the young girl plays her horn to lull her sister to sleep. When Ida isn’t looking, goblins steal her sister, leaving an ice sculpture changeling in her place. Ida ventures outside over there to rescue her sister from the goblins with the help of her special horn. Scary, yes . . . but cool!
Pierre: A Cautionary Tale
Does your child sound like a broken record, with “I don’t care” on repeat? Then a reading of Pierre is in order. Pierre’s parents are struggling with Pierre’s limited vocabulary throughout the book, which is subtitled, A Cautionary Tale.
For every query or command his mother or father give him, Pierre answers, “I don’t care!” Left alone and abandoned, he sticks to his guns . . . even when a lion approaches him one dark night. The king of the jungles asks Pierre if he can eat him, to which Pierre responds . . . lo and behold in those three little words, “I don’t care!”
What happens next is a fantastical advisory that will warn children to think before they speak. And yes, Pierre is fine.
Where the Wild Things Are
In perhaps the most well-known and beloved of all of Maurice Sendak’s works, a young boy named Max dons a wolf suit and gets into a great deal of mischief. His mother sends him to bed without any supper, but his room turns into a growing forest with an ocean tumbling by. Max sails off for over a year and a day until he lands at the place where the wild things are.
The wild things make Max their king and a wild rumpus ensues. But before long, Max grows bored, tired, and longs for home. Ignoring the cries of the wild things begging him to stay, Max sails home where he finds his supper waiting, still hot.
This is yet another Sendak classic book that caused quite an uproar upon release. Parents and critics were outraged at the ending where Max is still rewarded with a hot bowl of soup despite his bad behavior. Its cult status today, though, likely has those very same critics reading this favorite of all kids everywhere to their own children or grandchildren at home.
What are some of your favorite Sendak books . . . and your kids’?

China is the main country rich of iron ore resources. Since China's Open policy, China introduced largely overseas advanced crusher. For example, An-gang steel company has introduced the latest large scale hydraulic gyratory crusher in Svdedala from Sweden and Krupp from Germany. Zhengzhou Red Star Mining Machinery Company has brought into S series gyratory crusher in Sandvik and H series cone crusher in Sandvik and HP hydraulic cone crusher in Metso. Moreover, Red Star also introduced Mament series large scale hammer crusher which was developed by KHD Co., Germany. Besides, Red Star cement design research department has developed TPC series hammer crusher and PDC series hammer crusher.
Taking in high end technology all round the world, Zhengzhou Red Star Company takes a relatively large market share in domestic machinery market. He persist on independent innovation by combinating research and production, and launched 1200 type and 1500 type double-chamber crusher, which compensates the blank domestic market of middle type and small type tertiary crushers, and which can be also seen in reports in many foreign courtiers. It without doubt has a prospecting market and can replace import middle and small type cone crusher. The 1200 mm inertia cone crusher produced by BGRIMM and Russia is now successfully applied in industry production. Although there being some shortcomings, in a whole, China crusher development has made a great progress up to now.
Flash flotation machine can produce high quality ore concentrate at a time vibrating screen:http://www.hxjqchina.com/product-list_56.html
Flash flotation device is used for coarse grinding, it is especially adapts to pulp density, mineral density and floating particle size range. Iron ore was mined continuously, the useful minerals are constantly decreasing and dissemination size becomes more and more complex, uneven thickness. Recycling monomer dissociation of useful minerals under coarse grinding conditions can not only improve resource utilization, but also can save energy consumption, reduce dressing costs.
Flash flotation can be applied to the separation of ferrous metals, nonferrous metals and other minerals. It has many features such as fast flotation, enrichment is relatively large, simplify processes, a wider scope of pulp density, particle size, small footprint, etc., which is of great significance to the application of sulfide minerals tailings recycling as a comprehensive model. However, the separation efficiency is slightly poor, more sensitive to the quality of separation, and weak adaptability. BF type flotation machine is widely used in chemical industry. In iron ore industry, it is mainly used for iron separation and silicon reduction for fine iron ore concentration. It was magnetic iron ore that Red Star Mining Machinery Co. did ore treatment. In 2003, Red Star made reformation to anti-flotation technology and introduced positive ion anti-flotation technology.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2015
Where did the English Puckett family come from? What is the English Puckett family crest and coat of arms? When did the Puckett family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Puckett family history?The earliest origins of the name Puckett date back to the time of the Anglo-Saxons. The name is derived from the baptismal name Buchard, a variant of Burchard.
Until quite recently, the English language has lacked a definite system of spelling rules. Consequently, Anglo-Saxon surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. Changes in Anglo-Saxon names were influenced by the evolution of the English language, as it incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other languages. Although Medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, so it is common to find one person referred to by several different spellings of his surname, even the most literate people varied the spelling of their own names. Variations of the name Puckett include Bockett, Bocket, Bocard, Bocardi, Bochard, Bockard, Bokett, Bucard, Buchard, Bucket and many more.
First found in Lincolnshire, where they held a family seat from ancient times.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Puckett research. Another 446 words(32 lines of text) covering the years 1150, 1207, 1273, 1500, and 1547 are included under the topic Early Puckett History in all our PDF Extended History products.

Searching for a better life, many English families migrated to British colonies. Unfortunately, the majority of them traveled under extremely harsh conditions: overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the ocean. For those families that arrived safely, modest prosperity was attainable, and many went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the new colonies. Research into the origins of individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Puckett or a variant listed above:

For more than 125 years, the town of Whiteclay, Nebraska has served just one purpose. It has existed for the sole purpose of circumventing the ban on alcohol sales throughout the neighboring Pine Ridge Oglala Sioux Reservation.
For more than 125 years, the town has been a major lightening rod for activists wishing to stop the sale of alcohol to the Native American residents of the reservation, who have suffered from disproportionately high rates of alcoholism and fetal alcohol syndrome for nearly the entirety of the reservation’s existence.
But despite ongoing efforts over the decades, the movement to shutter the beer stores of Whiteclay never really picked up momentum until 2016, when it was first acknowledged by the Nebraska Liquor Control Board that they would consider arguments to deny the renewal of the town’s liquor licenses, which they need in order to legally sell beer to the Pine Ridge Natives. The stores are located just a couple thousands yards over the state line, adjacent to the reservation.
But now, it appears that the stores have played their final hand. After appealing the denial of their liquor license renewals to the Nevada State Supreme Court, the liquor stores have lost their bid to have the decisions of the Liquor Board overturned. Betting on a technicality, the lawyer for the stores reported that the court had found against his clients, stating that the original court did not have standing to even rule on the point in contention.
It now appears that the stores will stay closed for good.
Brazil a country with the highest number of law schools in the world. If the total number of law schools in the country were to be put together, they would exceed the number of law schools in the whole world. The net result has been a country with a huge number of lawyers. Although this number is huge, not all of them have been given that mandate to practice law. Only a small percentage of these lawyers have completed the process of registration with the Brazilian Bar Association. This is the body that has been given the mandate to regulate the legal profession.
The process of registering as a lawyer in Brazil is rigorous. One must first go to an institution of higher learning and graduate with a law degree.

What is a cat bed?
Today, though, round pet beds go beyond simply being circular and cushioned. Some are heated, while others pop up to turn into cat caves, a covered place for cats to hide. They are available in many colors and styles, so if you choose to buy a round pet bed, you're sure to find one that matches your home's decor.
Why do cats need a cat bed?
A Cat Bed Helps with a Routine
One good reason to purchase a bed for your cat is to encourage them to mostly sleep in one place, which can prove beneficial for both of you.
What type of bed is good for cats?
If it prefers to curl up, a round bolster or cave bed that's at least 15 inches in diameter is a good bet—but don't shy away from larger beds that are enclosed, because they offer the security some cats prefer with the ability to stretch out when needed.

Introduction Ever since Windows 10 1903, the MAC Address Randomization feature has not worked for any of our Surface devices. This worked on Windows 10 1809 and earlier. Why should you care? Privacy. By enabling the feature, it is more difficult to uniquely identify your machine across networks and target you with advertising and spyware. More info. The capability never left our beloved Surface devices or Windows. It was just disabled by default in firmware and the Marvell drivers deployed via Windows Update changed from having the feature enabled regardless of firmware settings to honoring the firmware default.

The Surface Pro, Go, and Book models are great all-around devices for many workloads including music production. When setting up customer rigs back in the Surface Pro 3 and Pro 4 days, we ran into inconsistencies with audio latency performance where analog audio recordings would glitch out periodically. Sometimes, real-time monitoring of digital mixing would glitch out as well. This occurred both on the built-in RealTek audio device and external USB audio devices such as our Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 (24/192) we use for various projects. We were able to root cause the issue to the Intel CPU. Modern Intel CPUs have a “turbo boost” mode where the CPU can raise its effective clock rate and processing throughput ~50% beyond its typical specification for ~1-30 seconds. The intent is to get through tough workloads really fast without having a major impact on heat. For example, the Intel Core i5-7300U found in many Surface Book 2 models is rated for 2.6GHz, but

Williamsfield four-peats parliamentary law contest
They may be young, but they know how to conduct business better than most adults.
The Williamsfield FFA Chapter recently won its fourth consecutive parliamentary procedure competition in Section 4, which includes most schools in Knox, Warren, Henderson and Mercer counties. And with only one upperclassman, this group of students reached first place with a young team. Only three of the seven students on the team have competed in the past.
“We’ve gotten better every year,” said Braden Stegall, the team’s chairman, and longest participant at three years. “There is nobody on this team that was on my first team.”
The FFA organization’s parliamentary procedure competition tests a student’s knowledge and implementation of parliamentary law, or the body of rules and ethics that govern meetings. The event has been part of the FFA for years, though its format has changed from when multiple chapters used to conduct meetings together. Chapters now individually conduct meetings in front of judges and compete for the highest score.
Parliamentary law was first introduced to these Williamsfield students in the classroom as a unit in Introduction to Agriculture. The associated competition through FFA encourages students to learn how to effectively participate in a business meeting and helps develop leadership skills.
“I think no matter what their career choice is, it will be beneficial, especially if they’re in a business with any type of board,” said Kent Rigg, Williamsfield’s agriculture instructor and FFA adviser. “The public speaking aspect is about as important as the understanding of the meeting.”
The contest includes four parts: written exam, meeting presentation, oral questions and the secretary’s notes. The meeting, which constitutes 63 percent of the total score, is a 10-minute session of a mock FFA meeting, as if it were already in progress.
The meeting session is fast-paced. In fact, it’s so quick that anyone who lacks an understanding of parliamentary law would find it hard to follow. The time slot is packed with various types of motions and discussions to exhibit the team’s knowledge. The floor members must include the types of motions that the judges require, as well as extra motions to improve the team’s score. Meanwhile, the secretary needs to keep pace, quickly writing in shorthand while also participating as a floor member.
Many aspects of the session impact their total score, including the quality of their discussions, the secretary’s notes and even the chairman’s use of the gavel.
Five teams participated at the Section 4 contest this year, and Williamsfield won it even after a deduction for surpassing the maximum time limit by two seconds. They also took home individual honors of top chairman, second place secretary, and second and third place floor members.
The Williamsfield team attributes “lots of practice” and knowing one another’s strengths and weaknesses to their success. They will be among 10 schools in northwestern Illinois to compete at the district-level competition on March 8 at Black Hawk East College in Kewanee. The top two teams compete at the state level, which the previous three Williamsfield FFA “parli pro” teams never reached.
“With the younger kids we have on there, I think we’re far more advanced than we have been in the past,” Rigg said. “... I think we have a really good shot at district.”

With warm spring weather finally starting to make an appearance in the Boston area, it’s the perfect time to make plans for study breaks or group outings that involve spending time in the fresh air and soaking up the sun. In particular, Boston offers a special benefit to outdoor activities with its proximity to water. With the Charles River running through the city and Boston’s location right on the harbor of the Atlantic, there is no shortage of beautiful water that you can take advantage of this spring season!
Starting with the Charles River, one really fun activity is kayaking or canoeing. A company that offers many different options for this sport is Charles River Canoe & Kayak. With five different locations along the river, this company offers rentals, guided tours and even classes for kayaking, canoeing and paddleboarding. A single kayak costs $15 per hour and $60 for the day, while a double kayak costs $20 per hour and $80 per day. Other pricing details can be found on their website, paddleboston.com. The Charles River Canoe & Kayak’s Cambridge location near Kendall Square will be opening for the season this Saturday and the Boston location will open on next Saturday. The other three locations are Waltham, Newton/Auburndale, and Nanhanton Park in Newton, and their seasonal schedules can be found online.
To make your experience with the Charles River Canoe & Kayak company even more unique, you can try out the Boston Harbor kayak tours. Starting at Kendall Square, a three-hour tour leads you along the Charles right into the harbor’s ocean waters. This event is a little pricier, at $75, but it is a great opportunity to take in the sights of the city from a unique vantage point while participating in a fun water sport.
Looking for a more leisurely, less sweat-breaking water activity? Then you might be interested in a boat tour. The Charles Riverboat Company offers a standard river sightseeing tour for $13 per student, an architectural tour for $20 per student and a sunset cruise, either on the Boston Harbor or along the Charles, for $15 per student. You will unfortunately have to wait a little longer for this opportunity, as the river tours start May 10, the architectural tours on May 23 and the sunset cruises on May 24. But taking a cruise could be a great way to celebrate the end of the year and reward yourself for surviving finals!
If you’re a fan of the annual Head of the Charles regatta, but haven’t had the opportunity to try rowing for yourself, you may want to try out the old-fashioned Whitehall and Pilot gigs of Boston Rowing Center. If you’re like me and have never heard of these boats before, then you can learn a little boat history ahead of time by checking out the exhibits at the Hull Lifesaving Museum, which exhibits historical boats such as these. Getting there is a bit of a trip, as the museum is located in Hull, MA. However, you can row with these boats for free for the first three times. On your initial visit you’ll also receive a quick lesson that not only teaches you how to row, but also includes some rowing vocabulary and historical rowing facts. If you really love it or if you have some previous rowing experience, you may want to enter into one of their races. The next race, the Fort Point Channel Open, is set to take place on Saturday, May 17. The registration price is $20, and you don’t need your own boat to participate, as participants in the race will use the Hull Lifesaving Museum’s boats.
With these exciting options, and many more, it’s easy to get outside, enjoy the nice weather and take advantage of the beautiful water around Boston!


Over the years we have enjoyed playing in many venues. We are regularly asked to play in locations stretching from Yorkshire to Scotland and most places in between. Whether it’s a large venue with lots of guests expected, or a smaller more intimate location, our groups can provide the perfect atmosphere.
We have listed a few of our venues to give you an idea of where we perform.
My husband and I would just like to thank Andrelli personally for the beautiful music played at our wedding at Sunderland Marriott . The comments from the guests were all positive and throughout the night I had so many comments about the music saying how beautiful it was and that they loved the mix of modern and classical. They were impressed with the choices you made and Bruno Marrs went down particularly well. I myself loved Hallelujah playing when we were signing the register and I would definitely recommend Andrelli to anyone . I found Dawn very friendly and professional and she was so helpful. Dawn also helped me choose the music for the special day and I knew that I was in good hands and I trusted her opinion. She just took the stress of this away from me which was so helpful when you're planning your wedding day. Thanks again Mr and Mrs lengClaire & Andrew, Marriott Seaburn, 19th Sept 2015 Read More

The ISWA (International Solid Waste Association) World Congress is a global meeting which includes high level plenaries as well as technical site visits and a cultural and social programme where waste management professionals, government officials, industry leaders, policy makers, scientists and young professionals meet to exchange views and opinions to advance scientific and technical knowledge for sustainable solid waste management.
IDOM has participated in this congress as speaker, presenting the study named “Comparative Live Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Contribution to Climate Change of household and commercial waste management in Gipuzkoa”.
The presented study consists on an environmental impact analysis of two different types of waste management systems using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology. The management systems studied are a landfill-based model versus a centralized model where waste is processed at a Mechanical and Biological Treatment (MBT), Waste-to-Energy (WtE) and Anaerobic Digestion (AD) plants. The LCA methodology was applied to make a comparative analysis of both systems in accordance with ISO 14044 standards. The use of these standards is becoming frequent by multilateral organizations when it comes to assessing the feasibility of investment projects.
The system boundaries have been set at the waste transfer stations and waste disposal sites. The results of the study reveal the importance of transport optimization during the entire waste management cycle. The Environmental performance of the centralized model is seen to be better because of transport optimization, the sub-products obtained (i.e. recyclables, compost and aggregates for road construction), and electricity produced.

“In 2024, the freedom of women to resort to abortion will be irreversible”: the words are from Emmanuel Macron. On Sunday October 29, the French president confirmed his commitment to enshrining in the Constitution this freedom of women to resort to abortion. The text must be presented to the Council of Ministers by the end of the year.
Half a century after the Veil law, France would become the first country in the world to protect voluntary termination of pregnancy in its fundamental law. “A victory” for feminist associations and collectives, who still remain vigilant on the calendar.
And then there is this choice: the word “freedom” rather than “right”, which also makes some people cringe…
So, is the right to abortion threatened today in France? What obstacles exist today? Is the inclusion of abortion in the Constitution a real step forward or just a symbol?

One prepared statement entitled, "Financial Considerations with respect to Open Space Preservation Decisions" was presented by Committeewoman Julia Allen.
Another, entitled "Readington Consultants Fail to Make a Case Against Solberg," was prepared by PARTNERS Solberg.
Allen and Samual Hitzel of PARTNERS both provided copies of these prepared position papers and spoke of concerns after the meeting, at which an ordinance was introduced to commence negotiations between the township and Solberg representatives.
The introduction of the ordinance came after the Township Committee went public with the fact that it agrees with the Planning Board's recommendation that acquisition of Solberg Airport is in the best interest of the township.
A public hearing for this ordinance is to be held at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 25, at Readington School.
After the meeting, Allen addressed the concern of some residents that the tax rate would be severely affected by acquisition of the Solberg tract by noting that land acquisition has not caused taxes to rise.
She pointed out the township acquired 1,014 acres this year which, if the land hadn't been acquired, would have resulted in about 185 new homes had the land bee n developed.
Had the land been developed, taxes would have risen because subdivisions put a s train on municipal services such as school facilities, school staffing, police, roadwork and the like.
Also in the prepared statement, she stated, "The Solberg tract is zoned for residential development, with a potential yield of approximately 125 houses. It is presently open, but not preserved, meaning the open space one sees there today w ill very likely soon be subject to the bulldozers."
Allen also noted that open space preservation is currently cost- effective due to the "high level of available state funding for open space preservation."
The position paper from PARTNERSSolberg, however, states that the township, through reports from consultants, attempt to make valid arguments for municipal acquisition through inaccurate conclusions.
"By assuming Solberg Airport as financially untenable, the report tries to show that the airport property is at risk of residential development, and only municipal acquisition can save both open space and the 'threatened' airport."
Hitzel said after the meeting that the reports cite how airports of a similar size to Solberg are not financially successful, but the other airports referenced in the study are publicly owned. "So by their very nature they do not generate a profit," Hitzel said.
The position paper from PARTNERS also states that a report generated by a township consultant includes "no discussion of the impact to public support for future open space funding."
Negotiations between the two sides will begin at the Sept. 25 public hearing, where the public will have a chance to ask questions and voice concerns.

Louise Redknapp cut a stylish display as she left the Savoy Theatre having performed in 9 to 5 The Musical alongside Amber Davies.
Sporting an oversized denim jacket and grey tailored trousers for the occasion, the 44 year old looked stunning as she added height to her frame in grey suede heels.
The mum of two's sandy blonde locks hung naturally down her shoulders, while glimmers off her stage makeup were still visible following her performance.
The talented actress and singer looked carefree despite recent headlines surrounding both her and ex-husband Jamie Redknapp's reported new romances.
Days before her appearance, Louise's ex-husband's 'secret girlfriend’ was reportedly revealed to be a jaw-dropping model.
Former footballer Jamie, 45, was pictured with the beautiful brunette over the weekend in images obtained by The Sun – and the newspaper has now claimed the woman to be 34 year old British beauty Lizzie Bowden.
The model, who has worked with brands such as New Look and Wallis, has 1,600 followers on Instagram and bears a remarkable likeness to his ex-wife, Louise.
According to reports, Jamie has reportedly kept quiet over his dating life out of respect for his ex-wife.
But now, Louise herself has sparked romance rumours with handsome model James Yates, 27.
Louise showed her appreciation for a string of sexy photos from the model and footballer on his Instagram page, liking a total of 19 of his 25 snaps in February alone – including ones where he’s completely shirtless.
While there’s nothing to suggest the pair are romantically involved, the hunky model – who has racked up 119,000 followers on his page – returned the favour to the gorgeous singer, liking several of her posts, too.
But while Louise is clearly a fan of his artistic shots, a pal of hers told The Sun they are just friends.
