Are you looking for an indoor gardening tip? You’re not the only one. Millions of gardeners all over the world are looking for ways to improve the indoor gardening they already do, and many of them are looking for advice on how to make their indoor gardening more efficient. But what exactly can indoor gardening plants and pots do for you? Here are a few ideas.
Gardening is the most important aspect of indoor gardening plants and pots can play a big part in that. However, if you’re not careful, indoor gardening plants and pots can take over your indoor gardening space. Don’t worry – this is actually very rare. There are always some little things you can do to limit the clutter indoor gardening causes. Use baskets, racks, hoses and other clever indoor gardening containers to store and arrange your soil, fertilizer and other supplies. Just try not to let all your indoor gardening plants and pots crowd your space too much!
The temperature of your indoor gardening space can be affected by what type of indoor gardening plants and pots you use. Choose a window box that is slightly cooler than your plants require to thrive. This will keep your indoor gardening plants and pots warmer during the summer months and cooler during the colder winter months. If you have several species that do well together, consider planting them in different locations or compartmentalizing them to keep them happy.
If you have some plants that are prone to disease, it’s best to spread their exposure as far as possible. This can be done by spacing them outdoors throughout your home. You could also move them into an indoor gardening pot where they would be spread out throughout the house. Or, you might choose to purchase indoor gardening plants and pots that are specially designed to help diseases and pests spread indoors.
Make certain that your indoor gardening plants and pots are kept clean and sanitized. This should include taking the time to periodically mist them with water. A simple way to do this is to take a hose and lightly mist each plant with water at least once a month. Be sure not to over do it or you will end up killing your indoor gardening plants and pots.
You should place your indoor gardening plants and pots on a flat surface. If you have a sunny window that has a lot of light, this would be the perfect spot. If there is not a lot of sun available, make sure you place the pots on some type of indoor gardening mat, paper towels or rugs. Make sure that your indoor gardening plants and pots don’t touch each other. Doing so can result in mold and mildew.
When planning your indoor gardening plants and pots, be sure to include the drainage system. It’s important to keep in mind how much water your indoor gardening plants and pots need on a daily basis. Be sure to take into consideration any other pets or children who may live in your home as well. Some indoor gardening plants and pots do require a lot of water, so if you have a large family you’ll want to think about how much water it takes to keep your indoor gardening supply running. Your indoor gardening supplies will last longer if you properly maintain them.
One thing you may find interesting is that indoor gardening plants and pots came in all different shapes and sizes. You should be able to find the right indoor gardening plants and pots for your situation. You may find that some indoor gardening plants and pots are better suited for one particular need than another. Your indoor gardening supplies can be a great help in choosing the right indoor gardening plants and pots for your indoor gardening needs.

Horrific floods have completely submerged parts of Serbia and Bosnia over the past week, deluging the local citizenry with the most rainfall since record keeping began 120 years ago. In many areas, nothing is safe, not even the bridges meant to surmount the highest waters. This one was completely swept away.
At least 25 people have been killed already, tens of thousands have been evacuated, and landmines that remained from the tragic conflicts of the 1990s now pose an even greater threat as the markers that denoted them have been removed by the endless amount of water.
This bridge in the town of Zavidovići ended up floating down what used to be the relatively tranquil Bosna river, and looks to be taking out everything in its path, including other bridges.
And if you don't know where Zavidovići is, it's here:
And if you don't know where Bosnia is, it's here:
The floods in Serbia and Bosnia are incredibly tragic, especially for two countries that are both so beautiful and have suffered through so much tragedy already.
Here's hoping it all gets better soon.

Amouranth ambitious expansion into Safe-for-Work content on OFTV – Popular streamer Kaitlyn ‘Amouranth’ Siragusa is making waves in the world of safe-for-work content on OnlyFans TV (OFTV) with her hit show, ‘The Quiet Games.’ This captivating game show features Amouranth and a group of fellow OF models collaborating to solve puzzles and engage in various activities in front of an elderly audience.
The journey of ‘The Quiet Games’ began early last year, but production took time due to the intricacies involved. Amouranth shared, “OF approached us with the idea of creating more content on their new platform, OFTV, designed for safe-for-work content. We were brainstorming game show concepts, and the idea of a silent library with funny interactions in an elderly home struck a chord.”
Amouranth ambitious expansion into Safe-for-Work content on OFTV
Amouranth has even bigger plans in mind. She mentioned the possibility of an American Ninja Warrior version featuring OF creators, cooking shows, and even a revival of shows like Fear Factor or Wipe Out. The possibilities are endless, and it all depends on who’s on board and what can happen.
What happens when @Amouranth takes over a senior center for her OUTRAGEOUS new game show? 🤣 Find out on The Quiet Games!
— OFTV (@watchOFTV) September 29, 2023
As one of OnlyFans’ top earners, Amouranth expressed her appreciation for the platform’s support in creating new types of shows. “It’s amazing to see OnlyFans willing to collaborate with creators and invest in these projects. Funding can be a challenge for ambitious productions, and the fact that they are willing to allocate their capital for this purpose is truly innovative,” she commended.
However, there’s more to Amouranth’s current endeavors. She recently revealed her collaboration with a beer company to create a unique flavor inspired by her, showcasing her ever-evolving career.
Amouranth is just one of the prominent creators working with OFTV. The platform has already featured various shows, such as “The Roast of Bert Kreischer” hosted by Whitney Cummings. She also mentioned that OnlyFans is actively funding these projects, a positive sign for content creators looking to explore new horizons.

Return to this page a few days before the scheduled game when this expired prediction will be updated with our full preview and tips for the next match between these teams.
Motherwell will host visiting opponents Hearts at Fir Park Stadium in the Premiership match on Saturday.
Scroll down for all of our predictions, poll and stats for the Motherwell v Hearts game - along with the latest match odds.
Motherwell will be looking for a repeat result of a 0-2 Premiership success over Aberdeen.
In that match, Motherwell had 30% possession and 2 attempts on goal with 2 on target. The scorer for Motherwell was Kevin van Veen (50', 57'). For their opponents, Aberdeen got 18 attempts at goal with 8 of them on target.
It has not been often in recent games where Motherwell have shown defensive steel. In fact, Motherwell have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 games, giving up 14 goals during that time. While that may be of interest, it remains to be seen whether such a trend shall be sustained in this upcoming match.
Looking at the pre-match facts, Motherwell:
- have not beaten Hearts in their last 2 matches in the league.
- have not won at home in their last 3 league matches.
Hearts come into this clash following a 5-2 Premiership win as they beat Dundee United in their previous outing.
In that game, Hearts had 55% possession and 22 attempts on goal with 12 on target. For Hearts, goals were scored by Ben Woodburn (22', 50'), Alex Cochrane (25'), Stephen Kingsley (76') and Aaron McEneff (86'). On the other side, Dundee United got 12 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. Ryan Edwards (34') and Nicky Clark (62') scored for Dundee United.
Hearts have attacked well in their most recent fixtures, having scored 11 times in their last 6 matches. While their manager Robbie Neilson will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Hearts can also improve defensively after being scored against in 5 of those same games.
Their past results show that Hearts:
- have not emerged victorious against Motherwell in away games against them for the last 2 league matches.
- are without a win away from home in their last 4 matches in the league.
Head to head
Checking on their prior head-to-head clashes going back to 17/02/2019 shows that Motherwell have won 3 of these games and Hearts 2, with the tally of draws standing at 1.
A combined sum of 16 goals were scored between them during those clashes, with 8 of them from The Steelmen and 8 coming from The Jam Tarts. That’s an average goals per game figure of 2.67.
Team News: Motherwell
The Motherwell boss Graham Alexander will be grateful to have no fitness worries to speak of coming into this game thanks to a fully injury-free group to choose from.
Team News: Hearts
Owing to a fully healthy group to choose from, the Hearts boss Robbie Neilson has no fitness concerns whatsoever coming into this match.
Our assessment here is that Motherwell will have a tough ask to break down this Hearts outfit who we think will likely score at least once to gain the upper hand.
That’s why we have predicted a good tussle with a 0-1 victory for Hearts when the referee blows for full-time.
We’ll see what happens.

How to read multiple data files into Pandas?
In this article, we are going to see how to read multiple data files into pandas, data files are of multiple types, here are a few ways to read multiple files by using the pandas package in python.
The demonstrative files can be download from here
Attention geek! Strengthen your foundations with the Python Programming Foundation Course and learn the basics.
To begin with, your interview preparations Enhance your Data Structures concepts with the Python DS Course. And to begin with your Machine Learning Journey, join the Machine Learning - Basic Level Course
Method 1: Reading CSV files
If our data files are in CSV format then the read_csv() method must be used. read_csv takes a file path as an argument. it reads the content of the CSV. To read multiple CSV files we can just use a simple for loop and iterate over all the files.
Example: Reading Multiple CSV files using Pandas
In this example we make a list of our data files or file path and then iterate through the file paths using a for loop, a for loop is used to iterate through iterables like list, tuples, strings, etc. And then create a data frame using pd.DataFrame(), concatenate each dataframe into a main dataframe using pd.concat(), then convert the final main dataframe into a CSV file using to_csv() method which takes the name of the new CSV file we want to create as an argument.
Method 2: Using the glob package
The glob module in python is used to retrieve files or pathnames matching a specified pattern.
This program is similar to the above program but the only difference is instead of keeping track of file names using a list we use the glob package to retrieve files matching a specified pattern.
Example: Reading multiple CSV files using Pandas and glob.
Method 3: Reading text files using Pandas:
To read text files, the panda’s method read_table() must be used.
Example: Reading text file using pandas and glob.
Using glob package to retrieve files or pathnames and then iterate through the file paths using a for loop. Create a data frame of the contents of each file after reading it using pd.read_table() method which takes the file path as an argument. Concatenate each dataframe into a main dataframe using pd.concat(), then convert the final main dataframe into a CSV file using to_csv() method which takes the name of the new CSV file we want to create as an argument.

While the annual GM meetings have been happening in Arizona for several days now, there really haven’t been any significant rumors surrounding the Dodgers until today.
Although the Braves did indeed extend a $17.8 million qualifying offer to the 33-year-old veteran, chances are next to nil that he accepts it. Steve Adams of MLBTR opines that Donaldson might be able to be snagged on a three-year deal, perhaps with a high-end of four years.
The right-handed hitting native of Florida just completed a one-year contract with the Braves where he earned $23 million. Considering his contributions, he was conceivably worth every dollar.
Donaldson played in 155 games for Atlanta last season, slashing .259/.379/.521 with 33 doubles, 37 long balls and 97 RBI. He also walked 100 times. He finished the season with a 6.1 WAR, and his defensive metrics suggest he’s still holding his own at the hot corner, something that many feel that longtime third baseman Justin Turner is not doing.
In 2019, Turner posted a -0.6 dWAR at third base, compared to Donaldson’s 1.7.
Turner has already confirmed to reporters that he’s certainly open to a move to first base, if it means that it makes the club more competitive.
Since the conclusion of the World Series, the Dodgers have been linked to MVP candidate Anthony Rendon, who some feel could command a salary upwards of eight years and $250 million. These are numbers that front office boss Andrew Friedman normally cringes at, but it’s unknown what kind of strategy he’ll take this winter, considering the team’s early exit from last year’s playoffs.
“We just don’t have hard-and-fast rules,” Friedman told Castillo. “We’re open to different avenues and different levers of how to get better. And I can’t sit here right now and tell you what that means because I don’t know.”
During the 2019 regular season, the Nationals reportedly offered Rendon a seven-year pact for somewhere around $210 million—a proposal that he refused.
As far as Donaldson goes, his banner year came in 2015, one year after Oakland traded him to Toronto for Franklin Barreto, Kendall Graveman, Brett Lawrie and Sean Nolin. During that campaign, Donaldson slashed .297/.371/.568 with 41 doubles, 41 homers and 123 RBI, calculating to an 8.5 WAR. For his efforts, he was named as the American League MVP.
Since then, he has held his own both offensively and defensively, aside from his 2018 season when he missed a month with a shoulder injury and almost three months with a severe calf strain. At the time, GMs across baseball believed that wear and tear had gotten the better of Donaldson, opening the door for the Braves to sign him on a one-year deal.
Donaldson is represented by agent Dan Lozano of the MVP Sports Group.

Housing plans rejected over £807k community spending ultimatum
PUBLISHED: 16:30 05 December 2019
Plans to build a new 72 home estate in Mistley have been rejected after an argument over a £807,000 contribution paid by the developer towards community facilities was left unresolved.
Council officers had advised Tendring District Council's planning committee to approve the plans despite the dispute over the community payment, however, at a meeting on November 25, councillors voted to reject the proposals.
Developers, Rose Builders originally applied to build 70 new homes on land north of Stourview Close in the Essex village in November 2016.
However Tendring District Council (TDC) deferred a decision from its October planning committee after the firm raised concerns over the amount it would have to pay in Section 106 money, which requires developers to make contributions to local infrastructure such as schools and health services.
Rose Builders was initially told to pay £538,000 in Section 106 money, as well as give the council five homes for social housing.
However after increasing the number of properties on the development by two, the Section 106 costs rose to £807,000.
Rose Builders said that it would be unable to build the now 72-home estate due to lack of profit and planning officers at TDC said that a "significant discount" is acceptable "given the importance of maintaining housing land supply".
In reply, the development company offered to pay £260k, rather than the larger figure. They said it was the maximum amount it could pay to earn a profit level of 16.67%, which is inside the government's advised guidelines of a 15-20% profit level.
At the November meeting, the committee concluded that the need for housing did not outweigh the large discount in section 106 payments.
They concluded: "It is considered in this instance that the relative weight that should be given to the need to provide housing in the District is not sufficient to outweigh the low level contributions that will be provided to mitigate the impacts of the scheme in terms of addressing the additional demands on education and healthcare."
They also said that the "absence of policy compliant affordable housing requirements" was another reason for their rejection.

To compare spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT) characteristics of pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (pCME) in patients with and without diabetes.
Spectralis® (Heidelberg Engineering Inc., Franklin, MA) was queried for all FastMAC 25 line SDOCT scans performed for pCME diagnosed within 6 months of cataract surgery at an urban university hospital between 1/1/2011 and 8/31/2016. Spectralis, high speed B-scans centered on the fovea (250 μm line spacing, 5 scans) obtained at diagnosis of pCME were reviewed. Trained graders analyzed the central 1mm zone of each scan for presence of external limiting membrane (ELM) or ellipsoid zone (EZ) disruption, hyperreflective foci (HF), hard exudates (HE), subretinal fluid (SRF), location of intraretinal cysts, central foveal thickness (CFT), and central subfield thickness (CST). Retrospective chart review was performed to record relevant clinical characteristics. Inclusion criteria consisted of clinical diagnosis of the disease. Exclusion criteria included prior retinal surgery or macular edema.
19 eyes from 18 patients were enrolled in the study. Mean age of 11 participants in the non-diabetic group was 77.1 years, with 45% female. Mean age of the 7 participants in the diabetic group (71.4% NPDR, 14.2% PDR) was 70.0 years, with 43% female. Diagnosis of pCME occurred at 64.5 ± 46.3 days post surgery in the non-diabetic cohort, versus 66.3 ± 48.2 days in the diabetic cohort.ELM was continuous in the foveal slice in 27.2% (95% CI:-0.33, 54.9) of eyes in the non-diabetic (ND) cohort versus 87.5% (0.79, 0.96) of eyes in the diabetic (D) cohort; this observation reached statistical significance (p<0.007). ELM was continuous in the 4 outer slices in 45.4% (0.20, 0.71) of the non-diabetic cohort versus 75.0% (0.51, 0.99) of the diabetic cohort; however, this trend approached but did not reach statistical significance (p<0.13). There was no significant relationship between presence of EZ disruption (ND: 27.2%, D: 50%), HF, HE, and SRF (ND: 54.5%, D:25%); there was also no significant relationship between cyst location (inner layers, outer layers or both), mean CFT (ND:452, D: 353), and mean CST (ND:462, D: 382) across the two cohorts.
ELM disruption in pCME may be seen more frequently in non-diabetic eyes compared to diabetic eyes. Further studies are needed to elucidate this relationship.

GROUNDBREAKING research by a team of scientists at NUI Galway led by a North Clare man could result in early detection and better tracking of breast cancer, it was revealed this week.
Kilnamona professor Michael Kerin headed the team that looked at the role of MicroRNAs in breast cancer.
For the first time, the work shows that MicroRNAs are measurable in the blood of breast cancer patients and the levels of mir195 in particular, suggests that it is a breast cancer specific tumour marker.
Professor Kerin led the research, presented by Dr Helen Heneghan and co-authored by Dr Nicola Miller and Dr John Newell.
The work shows that microRNAs are measurable in the blood of breast cancer patients, that levels of certain miRNAs drop after breast tumours are surgically removed and that mir195 is likely to be a breast cancer specific tumour marker.
The novelty involves a modification of standard techniques allowing these little molecules to be reliably measured in blood from breast cancer patients for the first time.
Professor Kerin, head of surgery at NUI Galway, said this work opens up many corridors of scientific questioning.
“In particular, we may be able to trace tumour activity in breast cancer using these markers and a combination of microRNAs may function as screening tests for breast cancer, allowing early detection to become the norm. This early work suggests that a combination of mir195 and Let7a are sensitive markers for the presence of breast cancer in over 90% of cases. This raises the possibility of their use in screening for breast cancer.”
However, Professor Kerin warned of the possibility of reading too much into this discovery as it is still ‘early days’.
“Our initial work centres on 83 breast cancer patients and 44 controls. While it is clear that we can now measure microRNAs in blood, much more work has to be done. We have received amazing feedback however, from the major breast cancer research centres around the world and they want to collaborate with us to answer these questions. The fact that microRNAs are small, robust and act on multiple genes suggest that they may be very powerful factors in breast cancer propagation and development. In addition, we may be able to interfere with them and manipulate their expression, which may allow cancers which are refractory to standard therapy to be made sensitive.”
This work is part of the ongoing Breast Cancer Research Programme in Surgery at NUI Galway that also looks at the role of stem cells in breast cancer.
“We have some very exciting projects ongoing here and have several national and international partners. We receive funding from the Health Research Board, Molecular Medicine Ireland, the Royal College of Surgeons, the Irish Cancer Society as well as some European funding. However, we could not manage without the help of the National Breast Cancer Research Institute, which is a voluntary body, and over the years has raised more than €7 million to fund and equip the laboratory here,” continued Professor Kerin.
“This research shows that we have the opportunity to deliver international-standard cancer research and give our world-class medical students and junior doctors the opportunity to train and develop,” he concluded.

Nintendo Delays 'Animal Cross: New Horizons', Doesn't Promote Crunch
Animal Crossing for the Switch was revealed officially as Animal Crossing: New Horizons during Nintendo E3 Direct. The game looks great with a holiday island theme, but some were left disappointed when it was revealed the game would be pushed from 2019 to March 2020. Thankfully this seems to be just because the studio needs more time and Nintendo doesn’t want them crunching to get it done for 2019.
Speaking to Tina Amini at IGN, the newly appointed Nintendo President of America, Doug Bowser, explained that Nintendo doesn’t want to promote a crunch culture.
“For us, one of our key tenets is that we bring smiles to people’s faces, and we talk about that all the time. It’s our vision. Or our mission, I should say. For us, that applies to our own employees. We need to make sure that our employees have a good work-life balance.”
It’s always great to see someone in a position like Bowser speak about crunch culture like this even if it’s not the most hard-hitting quote. But when talking about Animal Crossing he did say that they simply won’t release a game if it’s not done, and that means not crunching to get it there.
“One of those examples is, we will not bring a game to market before it’s ready. We just talked about one example (Animal Crossing). It’s really important that we have that balance in our world. It’s actually something we’re proud of.”
During the Nintendo Playhouse Live, Animal Crossing: New Horizon did get multiplayer confirmed for up to four players could play locally on a single console, or up to eighty when playing online. Much like past entries, you won’t be able to build a tent on your friends' island though.
The game looks really beautiful and I can’t wait to learn more leading up to the release. You can watch the full Treehouse Live below to get excited now though.

The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele has warned the judges handling the case of the presidential election petition tribunal (PEPT) to be careful with their judgments in order to avoid generational destruction.
In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele made it known that there will be serious consequences if the judges give a wrong judgment on the election tribunal cases.
He stated that any judge that gives a wrong pronouncement will see the wrath of God and that the anger of the Lord will come greatly upon them.
He warned that their generations will be affected if they deliver any judgment as a result of any form of financial influence or interest.
‘’I still want to tell the judges that there will be consequences if they give the wrong judgment concerning the election tribunal. Any judge who makes wrong pronouncements will see the wrath of God and the anger will come upon them.’’
‘’The judges must make the right pronouncement so they can be blessed than do what will cause tribulation, agony, pain, and tears. They should not do what will destroy their generations.’’
‘’The judges for the governorship election tribunal and the presidential election tribunal should take note. Gone are the days when they go scot-free when they give judgments that were influenced by money or interest, God is watching them.’’
Furthermore, Primate Ayodele noted that he isn’t threatening the judicial process or laying curses on them but it is dangerous for them not to do the right thing.
‘’ I am not cursing them or threatening them, I am only delivering divine messages as received. I am not supporting anyone among the candidates but judges must deliver the right judgment, it’s dangerous not to do so.’’

The 1980s were a golden age for guitar heroes but even six-string slingers need a hero of their own. Enter Joe Satriani. More than a hero, Satriani was a mentor, setting an example of what could be done with the instrument and also serving as a teacher to such luminaries as Kirk Hammett, Charlie Hunter, Primus' Larry LaLonde, and Steve Vai. This alone makes Satriani a significant figure in the history of rock guitar, but when he launched a career as a recording artist in 1986, he performed the rare feat of crossing over to a wide audience via instrumental guitar music. His 1987 album Surfing with the Alien turned him into a star, kicking off a series of hit records, successful tours, and plum supporting gigs — including backing Mick Jagger in the '80s, joining Deep Purple in the '90s, and playing with Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony in the supergroup Chickenfoot — that stretched well into the 21st century.
A native of Long Island — he was born in Westbury on July 15, 1956 and raised in Carle Place — Satriani started playing guitar at 14. His initial inspiration was Jimi Hendrix, and after a few years he began taking lessons from jazz musicians Lennie Tristano and Billy Bauer. Satriani enrolled in Five Towns College and also began teaching guitar, taking his first notable student in Steve Vai, a musician who would soon be credited with "stunt guitar" on Frank Zappa records. Satriani headed out to Berkeley, California in 1978, supporting himself through teaching and beginning to gig with local bands. Over the next few years, he racked up what would prove to be an impressive roster of pupils, instructing Kirk Hammett (who would join Metallica), jazz fusion guitarist Charlie Hunter, Larry LaLonde (later of Primus), Kevin Cadogan (who joined Third Eye Blind), and David Bryson (a Counting Crow). Slowly, Satch gained bona fides as a musician himself, landing his first notable steady gig in the Squares, self-releasing an EP in 1984 and then joining the Greg Kihn Band in 1986, just as the hits started to dry up for the power popper.
The Kihn gig came at an opportune time for Satriani. He financed his full-length debut LP, Not of This Earth, through credit cards and the regular performances helped him whittle down his debt. As Not of This Earth saw release on Relativity in 1985, Satriani's student Steve Vai was hired by David Lee Roth, a job that pushed him into the national spotlight and, once he was there, he often tipped his hat to Satriani. All this helped set the stage for the 1987 release of Surfing with the Alien, the album that turned Satch into a star. Appearing in the fall of 1987 on Relativity, the album earned rave reviews among guitar publications and it began a steady march into the rock mainstream. Over the next year, "Satch Boogie" and "Surfing with the Alien" charted on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart and the record climbed its way to 29 on the Billboard 200; upon its release it earned a gold certification from the RIAA, and it would be certified platinum, an unusual occurrence for an instrumental album.
Satriani's sudden overnight success brought him considerable attention, including an offer from Mick Jagger to play guitar on the Rolling Stones singer's solo tour of Japan in 1988. The guitarist accepted and, after releasing the largely live EP Dreaming #11, set to work on his next album, Flying in a Blue Dream. Released in 1989, the album contained a couple of cuts where Satriani sang lead, a mainstream concession that may have helped the record climb further in the charts: it peaked at 23, supported by the singles "One Big Rush" and "Big Bad Moon," both reaching 17 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart. Ibanez signature guitars followed, helping keep Satriani in the spotlight as he worked on his next album, 1992's The Extremist. Driven by the lyrical "Summer Song," his biggest hit ever — it reached five on the Mainstream Rock charts — The Extremist peaked at 22, Satriani's highest-ever position on Billboard; it later was certified gold by the RIAA. A year later, the largely archival Time Machine — a double-disc set that reissued the 1984 EP, some live tracks, and new cuts — came along; then Satriani headed out with Deep Purple in 1993, taking over the lead guitar slot from the absent Ritchie Blackmore.

POKO: 1st app to offer discount coupons for P.R. eateries
As more consumers watch how much they spend on eating out, a new mobile app has been launched offering discount coupons to be redeemed in local eateries, including fast food. and casual dining restaurants.
POKO, as the app is called, is the first of its kind available in Puerto Rico, company officials said Thursday.
Carlos Bruno, creator of the app, said “POKO will replace the traditional paper coupons in the market because of its convenience and easiness, not only for the customer but for the restaurant as well. You don’t need to carry the paper coupons that you forget or that expire, everything is in your cellphone.”
Once the free mobile app available in Android and iOS platforms is downloaded and registration is completed, the consumer will be able to see the available offers in a distance of up to 15 miles. After choosing the offer, the next step is to go to the restaurant and redeem it.
Bruno, who has more than 20 years of experience in the marketing and advertising industry and 12 years in the fast food industry, said “contrary to five or six years ago, and as a reaction of the economic situation, the Puerto Rican consumer has adapted to the use of the discount coupons, but they forget to bring them to the restaurant or the offer has expired. With POKO, the client will always have the attractive and current offers near its existing location.”
The participating restaurants will also receive benefits with the application, besides getting rid of the use of paper, the eatery will have the control of the type of offer they want to publish.
“POKO has the flexibility and agility that a paper coupon doesn’t have because it allows vendors to create offers depending on the location of the restaurant, consumer profiles, dates, and length of the offer,” Bruno said.
”POKO is a winning formula for the restaurant because they have complete control of what they are offering. If the restaurant wants to launch a promotion for a specific demographic group, within specific locations, they can do so, and most important, they can quickly modify it according to the consumer’s response,” Bruno explained.
POKO is available islandwide and its business model is globally scalable for exporting beyond Puerto Rico, he said.
“We will start POKO’s expansion in cities such as Chicago, Miami, and Costa Rica and Honduras,” Bruno said.

By Kamille Vasseur. Chairs. Published at Friday, January 12th, 2018 - 16:23:09 PM.
Modern dining chairs have created a revolution in the furniture industry. The materials that are used to make these products have also changed meanwhile. Many new materials are being used, such as molded plywood, glass, steel, aluminum-tin alloy, copper-tin alloy and many other plastic materials are used for the manufacturing of chairs. The designs of chairs have also marked a tremendous change. From a four leg base, it has now a new concept of three leg base and the upcoming is a two-leg base. Probably expected product in the market is a chair with a single base support. The beautiful collections of trendy chairs are attractive as well as comfortable to sit on. The chairs now cover a large surface area so as to provide a sufficient place to sit comfortably.
Colorful seating enhances the beauty and ambience of your patio, garden, pool and other places both outdoors and indoors. They are also ideal for commercial use. The main reason for their huge popularity is that these contoured chairs are of high quality and offer extreme comfort. You can also place food and drinks on the arms of some of them. Every style is created by extremely skilled workers so you can bet on having unmatched and comfortable chairs.
It is undeniable that there are numerous kinds of office chairs for consumers to choose from. No matter if you are shopping at a retail shop or online store, chances are you will feel overwhelmed by the many styles, all of which seem to look similar to one another. However, office chairs vary quite a bit in terms of shapes, sizes, colors, materials, and features. When you are shopping for the best office chairs for your needs, it is important to consider certain aspects.
The importance of office chairs in ensuring the productivity of employees is well documented and empirically observed. If you have chairs in office that are less than comfortable, employees will find ways and means to get up from the chairs and move around, walk to the canteen or go for a cup of coffee. Sometimes, bad quality chairs also mean that people could develop back and neck problems, implying loss of man hours, not to mention the extra medical expenses and loss in employee productivity. This is one reason why modern office chairs are quite ergonomic is nature and are designed specifically with a view to ensuring maximum comfort to users.

The Council of Europe is an international organization promoting co-operation between all countries of Europe in the areas of legal standards, human rights, democratic development, the rule of law and cultural co-operation including heritage. It was founded in 1949 and has 47 member states with some 800 million citizens.
In a resolution adopted by the Standing Committee meeting in Paris on March 8th 2013, the Assembly of the Council of Europe has made a series of practical recommendations to member States with a view to preserving Europe’s industrial heritage.
To ensure that such protection is effective, the PACE has proposed that a European label for industrial heritage be developed. According to the conclusions of the rapporteur on this issue, Ismeta Dervoz (Bosnia and Herzegovina, EPP/CD), the Assembly has also invited the EU and UNESCO to consider the possibility of launching, together with the Council of Europe, a European Industrial Heritage Year in 2015, referring to the E-FAITH campaign.

Dance class isn’t just for tutu-garbed little girls – the practice and discipline learned through dance can have lifelong, real-world benefits, explains Nancy Schroder.
Any dance technique, whether it is classical ballet, jazz, contemporary, hip hop, or others, develops muscle tone, strength, flexibility, and jumping for cardiovascular fitness. A dancer is the ultimate athlete, as they must execute their movements without obvious effort, and yet the effort is immense. Dance is the study of form, and can be applied to many things in life, from workouts in a gym and social dancing, to working in a high-powered office or as a police officer on the beat. There is no doubt that dance helps with efficiency of movement in everyday life. Dance can be applied to anything, but the deeper benefits of the social and psychological aspects of dance are not initially seen. To be an achiever in life, one must first learn discipline, and the ability to apply oneself. Dance helps to develop the ability to practice regularly to reach a level that will make an impact, or change the status quo, to propel one forward in life, and to gain the skills and confidence to fulfil one’s personal goals. Dance teaches people to possess the stamina to carry on when it counts, in spite of fear, tiredness, or self-doubt. In dance class, a student learns about themselves, their expectations, limitations, and disappointments, and follows these lessons with growing determination. Within the dance studio, the student learns to work with others and to take on board direction in a healthy and positive way.
To add to the intellectual side of dance comes creative artistry: The expression of large emotions and the freedom and space to do so; to interpret a story physically in partnership with music, where one tunes into the sound, its rhythm and its feel. For young children, this merger of emotion, music, and story teaches so much, hidden among the skipping with pointed toes and marching like soldiers. For teenagers, the dance studio becomes a safe place for their changing mental and physical world. It’s a place to express the good and the bad in an environment where they are safe to express anger, fear, love, and passion, all accompanied by music that speaks to them on a personal level. Whether or not the intention is to be a prima ballerina, a musical theatre performer, or a commercial dancer, or to work as a lawyer, bus driver, or teacher, dance gives a lifetime structure of emotional, physical, and mental well-being that will see one through to old age. Dance can begin teaching of all of this early in life, in a fun and imaginative way.
Nancy Schroder trained at the Nesta Brooking School of Ballet and Arts Educational Stage School in London and has worked in theatre, film, and TV. She is currently Artistic Director for KISS Theatre Co and Co-Director, with Penny Dodd, of Auckland Academy Of Dance (& Performing Arts).

Pitt Meadows could lose more than 100 acres of farmland if CP Rail gets the greenlight to expand its operations in the community.
Plans for the CP Logistics Park [cplogisticspark.ca] were unveiled in December following consultations with the municipality, Katzie First Nation and Vancouver Fraser Port Authority last summer. A public consultation on the project wraps up this week. The last of three open houses will be held tonight via videoconference and a survey of local opinion closes January 15.
“CP is proposing to construct a multi-modal, multi-commodity transload and logistics facility adjacent to its Vancouver Intermodal Facility in Pitt Meadows, to meet increased rail demand in Canada’s largest trade gateway,” the rail company says.
The project description outlines plans for 13 silos accommodating 15,600 tonnes of peas, lentils and beans (the equivalent of 147 train cars, or one unit train), an auto transload facility, and 11 tanks for holding ethanol and transportation fuels from Alberta and the US Midwest for distribution locally and overseas.
The project will occupy 101 acres south of Lougheed Highway. CP acquired the properties making up the site between 2012 and 2017. The land falls within the Agricultural Land Reserve. However, rights Ottawa granted to the company at its founding eliminate the need for it to file an exclusion application for railway expansion.
This concerns Shannon Roberts of Blooming Meadows, who operates a small-lot mixed farm with her sister near the proposed facility. She also worries about site safety, light pollution and the effect of particulate matter from site activities on her laying hens and field-grown cut flowers.
“A dirty flower is not a sellable flower,” she says, noting that hundreds of trucks will be needed to bring fill to the site, which sits on the floodplain adjacent to the Pitt River.
Preload will affect the water table in the area, which already suffers from drainage issues.
“I honestly don’t feel like I’m going to be able to farm my land,” she said. “I feel like it will be flooded.”
Similar concerns were raised when CP bought 58 acres of the site in 2012. Pitt Meadows, which is set to receive $4 million in property taxes each year from the proposed development, said at the time it was confident CP would work to mitigate drainage problems.
Agricultural Land Commission CEO Kim Grout, then director of operations for Pitt Meadows, told local media in 2012 that CP brings a long-term vision for its properties.
The commission is among the parties that intend to provide feedback on CP’s plans for the farmland.
Construction of the logistics facility is set to begin in 2026.

Google’s Pixel brand is limited to Chromebooks, the first Chromebook Pixel was launched back in 2013 and a few months ago an updated model was released. According to a new rumor Google is going to expand the Pixel brand to tablets later this year, it’s going to launch a tablet called Pixel C that runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
The Pixel C will be unlike the other Pixel devices because it won’t be running Chrome OS, rumor has it that the tablet will be powered by Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the new version of Google’s mobile operating system that’s expected to be released next month.
Since it’s part of the Pixel brand the tablet is rumored to look quite like the Chromebooks, metal finish and all, without the physical keyboard obviously. Though it is said that two keyboard accessories will be offered as well, one in a metal and the other in a leather finish, which attach to the tablet and charge automatically when closed.
Pixel C is also expected to have a lightbar on the back which will glow to indicate remaining battery life, a USB Type-C charger may also be on board, and the tablet is expected to carry a premium price tag even though there’s no information as yet on what Google might ask for this tablet.
Nothing has been officially confirmed as yet so take all of this with a grain of salt for now.

FELIX DE BEDOUT, UNIVISION ANCHOR: Senator, I have to move quickly to two current issues such as the nomination of a new candidate to the United States Supreme Court. Your opinion regarding the president’s nominee:
SEN: ROBERT MENENDEZ (D-NJ): This nominee, for me, is unacceptable, because he has shown through precedents that he has set in federal court that he is intolerant towards a series of the most important issues for our community- the issue of immigration, the issue of the rights that we have under the healthcare law, which has caused an opportunity for millions of Hispanics to have health care insurance. Civil rights, voting rights, workers’ rights...all of those elements where the United States Supreme Court decides what the law of the land is are at risk for our community and for the nation, and that’s why this judge is not acceptable to me.
There was no further discussion of the pick beyond Menéndez’ partisan talking points, and no one to advocate for Kavanaugh’s qualifications, experience, and record. Univision’s viewers are simply expected to take Menéndez’ partisan opinion (as elicited by de Bedout) as fact. This bit of hyperpartisanship that Univision attempted to sell as news analysis is part of former Chief Content Officer Isaac Lee’s legacy of “no two sides” journalism.
Recall how Lee justified these institutional biases when he was President of Univision News:
ISAAC LEE, (FORMER) CHIEF CONTENT OFFICER, UNIVISION: I think if you are an American journalist covering the Second World War, it’s not a problem for you to want the Nazis to lose. And I don’t think you need to be saying ‘Well, you know, the Allied Expeditionary Force Commander says this, and on the other hand the Fuhrer says that.’ I think it’s ok to understand that sometimes you have to be on the right side of the issues in history.
It is incumbent upon Lee’s successor to restore the credibility of Univision’s news operation, and to restore a brand of journalism that places facts and honest debate above liberal activism.


Anson Wright knows a thing or two about storytelling. He is, after all, an accomplished writer and poet whose writing has been praised for its density and depth by Anaïs Nin. But magically he is also able to pour out both his narratives and his lyrical poetry with emotion as well; and all of this he does in the vignettes of song. They swing, they sway and traipse their way into your sensibilities on the music of Only Love.
The quality of his playing is exceptional on this extraordinary album. He takes nothing for granted in music. As a guitarist Mr Wright is not one of those wildly idiosyncratic guitarists, let alone provocatively iconoclastic (like some of the younger exponents of his instrument). Rather he plainly understands the nature of his instrument and at the same time he is out to make music on it in a manner that is calculated open our minds to its many melodic possibilities. If he is burdened by tradition he does not show it; rather he bends and twists the tenets of that tradition to the melodic will of his musicianship.
On Only Love he is joined by three other superb artists – the incomparable Brasilian pianist Jasnam Daya Singh, bassist Brian Casey and drummer Todd Scott-Bishop. Together these musicians bring a jazz brilliance to Mr Wright’s music. Meanwhile the guitarist unexpectedly takes us to another world. It’s full of glinting lights, mysterious depths, expectations, hopes and joys. In sheer colour and variety, in the depth of its characterisation and the exceptional range and refinement of his guitar playing Mr Wright imparts a powerful stature to everything that he plays. In the variety and stylishness of such music as “Chelsea”, “Inner Motion” and “Merci mon frère”, Wright brings an effortless urbanity and lyricism to his playing.
Meanwhile everywhere else his musicianship is buoyant and he plays with an aristocratic grace and psychological ambiguity and he is almost insolently effortless, bringing debonair virtuosity and swagger to the mechanisations of melody and harmony. All in all this is music that is ravishingly subtle with emotions evoked as few can even hope to try.

During the month of October, several authors, who either live in Africa or are rooted in this amazing continent, are teaming up for an exciting adventure.
We're going on an Africa Book Safari! Together, we will discover some of the rich, diverse colors and nuances of Africa through stories, devotions, and memoirs, all set in Africa. What’s more, because we are writers, we would like to invite you all to come along with us! For free!
We will be traveling together in a blog hop through ten blog posts featuring fiction and non-fiction books, all centered in Africa. Our Safari Guide will be interviewing each of us, and we invite you to listen in as we chat about ourselves and our books. You will find the interviews on the author’s own sites, as well as posted on one another’s blogs or websites.
So come along and join in the fun! And here comes our guide who will be taking us on our safari.
Safari Guide: Hi! I believe you are Ashley Winter, is that correct?
Ashley: Yes, I’m Ashley. And you, I presume, are going to be our Tour Leader for this great time. What should we call you?
Safari Guide: You can call me Mr. Africa! Are you all comfortable? Please buckle up your seat-belts. Starting today, I plan to show you all different angles to this continent. Ashley, it’s your turn to sit up front with me. Everyone, let’s go discover Africa!
As our large safari landrover moves away from the buildings and heads into the wilds of Africa, Mr. Africa swings in his seat to face me.
Safari Guide / Mr. Africa: So, Ashley, tell me a bit about yourself. Have you always lived in Africa?
Ashley: I was born in Scottburgh, South Africa, then moved to Dundee in KZN where I completed my schooling. I then moved to Pietermaritzburg to study, where I met my husband. We felt God lead us to help with a church plant in Wales in 2009, and that's where we are now, in beautiful Swansea on Gower. :-)
Mr. Africa: And what family do you have?
Ashley: I have a brother in Durban, a sister in Alabama with my parents, a husband and four sons! (16, 14, 12, 6)
Mr. Africa: Ashley, did you always want to be a writer? Or what prompted you to start writing?
Ashley: I have wanted to be so many different things! And yes, a writer was one of them. What prompted me to start writing was the lack of Christian fiction set in my country and culture, South Africa.
Mr. Africa: What genre do you write in, and why?
Ashley: I write Christian romance mostly, but lately, I've enjoyed adding in a large dollop of suspense and/or fast-paced action. My latest book is a thriller.
Mr. Africa: What book are you going to be sharing with us during this safari? Tell us a little about it. What inspired this particular story or topic?
Ashley: I'm going to be sharing the first book of my series which is my debut, Rachel's Blessing. I love this book because it is heartwarming and emotional - a real feel-good novel. It also showcases a mixture of cultures. Rachel is a British girl who heads to South Africa when her fiancé ends their engagement. There she volunteers at a rural orphanage and soon meets the attractive local game ranger, Eric. Because Rachel is foreign, readers get to see South Africa through her eyes. This is great for international readers to experience the wonder of the country and culture and amusing for South Africans to glimpse how a foreigner would view certain things in their culture.
Mr. Africa: Ashley, it sounds exciting, and I’m looking forward to reading it myself. You obviously have a deep love for this land. What in particular makes Africa so special for you?
Ashley: Oh there is so much! If I have to choose one thing, it would be the warmth and strength of the people who call Africa their home.
Mr. Africa: Oh wow, look! There's a lioness and her three new cubs playing together. What a sight! Let's park here for a while and watch them. I'll haul out the refreshments, I have a huge selection here. Perhaps one of the other authors can join me in the front. Ashley, which do you prefer? Coffee or tea? Sweet or savory?
Ashley: Oooo la la, Mr Afrika, now you are spoiling me! Rooibos tea with a slab of Milo chocolate or an Ouma's buttermilk rusk!
Mr. Africa: You're a woman after my own heart! Coming right up!
Please, everyone, stay in the vehicle and visitors, feel free to visit us all!
