HFC, the banking subsidiary of HF Group launched a digital financial services platform with plans to integrate insurance into the app in November.
Though other insurance entities have managed to ensure one can buy insurance the whole process unfortunately has not been integrated fully online, a plan HFC has set in motion to unveil in November.
“Insurance is coming in phase two this year, in November, though currently on the menu you can view our properties and initiate the process. It allows you to calculate how much one needs to get the land and also allow for one to deposit the amount online. We are excited with what the government is doing with blockchain for land, anything that will be put as a service we will consume and make easier for our customer,” said George Njuguna, CIO HFC, during the launch.
The app dubbed “HF Whizz” is set to accelerate the growth of the bank’s digital banking strategy marking a major advancement of HFC’s strategic focus on digital banking, which brings together years of technological research and development and an expansive partner network.
Arguably the new app is a great addition to HFC though is seen as a trend as almost every bank has an app, a statement HFC Managing Director Sam Waweru disagreed to saying that the bank’s digital banking platform is part of its business strategy to diversify and grow its retail business while it addresses consumer demand for banking on the go.
“Through HF Whizz, we want to deliver a frictionless digital experience across all our customer touchpoints with greater agility. It is our vision that the digital banking platform will enhance our customers experience, provide comprehensive business functionality and drive profitability,” said Mr. Waweru.
The platform has been developed to deliver on simplicity and speed of performance, and allows users to open a bank account, access their accounts and perform end-to-end banking transactions directly from their smart phones.
“The platform will enable customers to instantly open an account using their national identification card, transfer up to Kshs 200,000 daily, purchase goods and services and make deposits through the PAYBILL No. 100400. In addition, the platform provides lifestyle value-add functionalities such as budgeting, real time settlement, and free limitless bank account access among others. In short, this platform affords our customers functionalities that will help them manage their bank accounts remotely,” Mr. Waweru explained.
To castigate fraud, the digital platform has multiple built-in security layers including an advanced account authentication feature to ensure secure transactions.

I'm new to riding and I wasn't really fond of my S&S Motolisa boots. I normally wear a women's size 6.5 and ordered both pairs of boots online. When ordering the Motolisa boots, I wasn't sure whether to go up or down half a size, so I ended up ordering a size 7. While I like the style, the boots were on the bigger side. I also felt like the toe part of the boot was bulky and didn't allow me to really feel my gear shifter. This made riding difficult and put me off riding for a while. I ended up ordering these Wicked Garden shoes (Black) in a size 6 and they fit perfect! A bit snug, but I imagine they'll loosen a bit once broken in. The shoe's style is casual enough that it doesn't look strange when just walking down the street. I feel the gear shifter much more easily and have gotten better at riding since switching over to these boots.

I love these shoes. Super cool and stylish!
i received my boots in Australia a full two weeks earlier than expected. they fit in all the right places (i have a broad foot with low arches), and feel safe and secure. my previous riding kicks were the Shift urban hightop, and i was looking for something in a similar style, that fitted me properly (the Shifts didn't come in my size, i wore them with an inner sole). women don't get a lot of style choice in Australia, in terms of moto gear, so i am really pleased to find that these boots tick the safety box as well as suit my aesthetic. i love, love, love them. and props to the company for making my international order easy as pie! Buy these boots!!
Just took them for a test drive. I love them. Look great and feel even better. Very comfortable on the bike pegs and walking around. I have a bike rally coming up in Sept. and I do a lot of riding and more walking. Looking forward to waring these shoes all day. Two thumbs up on these riding shoes. Very happy!!!!!

Yup, that's it, dang, hits you outta nowhere.
to the previous posters, yeah, alot of people still play waw and mwr. there is no wait time to find a tdm. if you're a cheapo like me, wait to buy the game until it's on ebay for cheap. used game, but brand new to me.
so, what are the obvious cheats with mwr? i don't see anything out of the norm, but could be i just haven't spent enuf time on the game yet. not like waw - cliffside, shadows on the ground and people trying to go through bunker walls. or makin, peeps in the roof of the shack. the shadows on cliffside really make the game not fun.

Republican tax plan doesn't benefit the working class: Letter
President Donald Trump has been telling us exuberantly how great his recent tax cuts are for the American working class and that he and his family will not benefit from these changes. If you believe that, I want to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge.
Is this tax cut a Santa Claus to the rich (Trump recently bragged to some of his friends, "I've made you richer.") Should the middle class begin counting those Trump tax dollars? What does history say about Republicans trickled down tax cuts?
In 2012, the State of Kansas passed the same type of Trump tax cut scheme; known as trickled down economics. Republican Gov. Sam Brownback indicated that it failed miserably with echoes of huge deficits. They had to raise taxes to meet state expenses.
The greatest sales tax pitch sold to the American people was done by President Ronald Reagan. It worked in part; he promised that his 1981/1986 tax cuts would stimulate economic growth, will balance the budget.
The balance budget never happened, deficits grew. Reagan had to raise taxes under different names. President Bill Clinton stopped the budget bleeding with a balanced budget. Another tax cut scheme by President George W. Bush resulted in deficits and a recession which almost wrecked the economy.
Why do the public continue to buy the same old three-card Monte of Republican's tax cuts for the 1 percent with expected deficits?


SACHA Baron Cohen’s latest comedy creation is inspired by disgraced former BHS chief Sir Philip Green.
The Brit star, 45, will channel the Top Man owner’s appearance in Greed, a comedy centred around a retail billionaire.
And the funnyman will also be going back to his roots by fooling real-life members of the public and business figureheads in the guise of the character, much like his other creations including Ali, Borat and Bruno.
A movie insider said: “Sacha will have an almost uncanny resemblance to Sir Philip and those close to the producers believes it’s more than a nod to him.
“He’ll look more portly, with balding grey hair which is left long at the back.
“The transformation will mean nobody will realise it’s Sacha, meaning he’ll be able to get up to his old tricks again.”
Greed has been described as a “satirical take on the world of the super-rich”, sparked by “the lavish lifestyles of the elite, perma-tanned billionaire businessmen who shamelessly invest money into offshore tax havens,” according to early plot descriptions.
TOP STORIES AT THE SUN
The movie, which begins filming later this year, is being directed by Michael Winterbotton - who worked with Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon on BBC comedy series The Trip.
In recent years Sacha has favoured scripted acting roles for his characters including 2012 movie The Dictator, in which his played Admiral General Aladeen, and 2016 film Grimsby where is portrayed football hooligan Nobby Butcher.
But in the guise of Ali G, Borat and Bruno he tricked some of the biggest names in business and politics, including Donald Trump, into sharing the screen with him.

Jacobs Run have just released a magnificent single called ‘Number 5’. The narrative engaged me instantly, the deep relatable lyrics really made this song stand out. Michael Jacobs vocals are exceptional and are well supported by the music that builds and builds throughout the song. ‘Number 5’ is a fine example of new Aussie indie rock.

Melbourne indie rockers Jacobs Run make a welcome return to radio this week with their epic new single, “Number 5”.
The track features layers of guitars, infectious melodic hooks and glorious harmonies, and is another fine example of the exceptional songwriting talents of singer, songwriter Michael Jacobs.
In addition to Australia, the band’s previous singles, “Hold On A Minute”, “Use”, “Sleepwalking”, “Better Days”, “So Beautiful” and “Superman’ have also attracted generous airplay across the USA and Canada.
In October 2018 and again in March 2019, the band embarked on promotional trips to the USA to support the positive attention they’re receiving there; performing industry showcase gigs in Los Angeles and New York, as well as playing a number of promotional shows in Texas, where the band are building a loyal following. The band was to return to the US for a run of live shows mid – late 2020, but unfortunately these plans were shelved because of the COVID-19 breakout.
While in America, Jacobs Run were featured in the US trade publication, Radioinfo Talkers/Radioinfo Music Editor, Duane Doobie Jr. wrote, “Jacobs Run’s music blends layers of guitar and orchestration with organic classical melodies creating a powerful sound that highlights their Brit Pop influences while showcasing the Australian indie/alt-rock scene.
With the release of new single “Number 5” in the UK, the track is also enjoying growing airplay support there.
Jacobs run are; Michael Jacobs (guitar/vocals), Fabian Bucci (drums) and Peter Curigliano (bass)

Okay, first of all I would like to say that I have looked through a couple of the other topics that I've found on this issue but those seem to have dealt with their computers. I recently bought an eight-port ethernet switch and today after the router went out(it does this quite often) I found I am now unable to get online with my wired connection and now must rely on wireless. I can plug my computer into the ethernet port and get internet so I know it is the switch that is at fault here. So any ideas guys? I would really rather not buy another one and have it happen again.

PASADENA, Calif.—A team led by scientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) has made the first-ever mechanical device that can measure the mass of individual molecules one at a time.
This new technology, the researchers say, will eventually help doctors diagnose diseases, enable biologists to study viruses and probe the molecular machinery of cells, and even allow scientists to better measure nanoparticles and air pollution.
The team includes researchers from the Kavli Nanoscience Institute at Caltech and Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives, Laboratoire d'électronique des technologies de l'information (CEA-LETI) in Grenoble, France. A description of this technology, which includes nanodevices prototyped in CEA-LETI's facilities, appears in the online version of the journal Nature Nanotechnology on August 26.
The device—which is only a couple millionths of a meter in size—consists of a tiny, vibrating bridge-like structure. When a particle or molecule lands on the bridge, its mass changes the oscillating frequency in a way that reveals how much the particle weighs.
"As each particle comes in, we can measure its mass," says Michael Roukes, the Robert M. Abbey Professor of Physics, Applied Physics, and Bioengineering at Caltech. "Nobody's ever done this before."
The new instrument is based on a technique Roukes and his colleagues developed over the last 12 years. In work published in 2009, they showed that a bridge-like device—called a nanoelectromechanical system (NEMS) resonator—could indeed measure the masses of individual particles, which were sprayed onto the apparatus. The difficulty, however, was that the measured shifts in frequencies depended not only on the particle's actual mass, but also on where the particle landed. Without knowing the particle's landing site, the researchers had to analyze measurements of about 500 identical particles in order to pinpoint its mass.
But with the new and improved technique, the scientists need only one particle to make a measurement. "The critical advance that we've made in this current work is that it now allows us to weigh molecules—one by one—as they come in," Roukes says.
To do so, the researchers analyzed how a particle shifts the bridge's vibrating frequency. All oscillatory motion is composed of so-called vibrational modes. If the bridge just shook in the first mode, it would sway side to side, with the center of the structure moving the most. The second vibrational mode is at a higher frequency, in which half of the bridge moves sideways in one direction as the other half goes in the opposite direction, forming an oscillating S-shaped wave that spans the length of the bridge. There is a third mode, a fourth mode, and so on. Whenever the bridge oscillates, its motion can be described as a mixture of these vibrational modes.
The team found that by looking at how the first two modes change frequencies when a particle lands, they could determine the particle's mass and position, explains Mehmet Selim Hanay, a postdoctoral researcher in Roukes's lab and first author of the paper. "With each measurement we can determine the mass of the particle, which wasn't possible in mechanical structures before."
Traditionally, molecules are weighed using a method called mass spectroscopy, in which tens of millions of molecules are ionized—so that they attain an electrical charge—and then interact with an electromagnetic field. By analyzing this interaction, scientists can deduce the mass of the molecules.
The problem with this method is that it does not work well for more massive particles—like proteins or viruses—which have a harder time gaining an electrical charge. As a result, their interactions with electromagnetic fields are too weak for the instrument to make sufficiently accurate measurements.
The new device, on the other hand, does work well for large particles. In fact, the researchers say, it can be integrated with existing commercial instruments to expand their capabilities, allowing them to measure a wider range of masses.
The researchers demonstrated how their new tool works by weighing a molecule called immunoglobulin M (IgM), an antibody produced by immune cells in the blood. By weighing each molecule—which can take on different structures with different masses in the body—the researchers were able to count and identify the various types of IgM. Not only was this the first time a biological molecule was weighed using a nanomechanical device, but the demonstration also served as a direct step toward biomedical applications. Future instruments could be used to monitor a patient's immune system or even diagnose immunological diseases. For example, a certain ratio of IgM molecules is a signature of a type of cancer called Waldenström macroglobulinemia.
In the more distant future, the new instrument could give biologists a view into the molecular machinery of a cell. Proteins drive nearly all of a cell's functions, and their specific tasks depend on what sort of molecular structures attach to them—thereby adding more heft to the protein—during a process called posttranslational modification. By weighing each protein in a cell at various times, biologists would now be able to get a detailed snapshot of what each protein is doing at that particular moment in time.
Another advantage of the new device is that it is made using standard, semiconductor fabrication techniques, making it easy to mass-produce. That's crucial, since instruments that are efficient enough for doctors or biologists to use will need arrays of hundreds to tens of thousands of these bridges working in parallel. "With the incorporation of the devices that are made by techniques for large-scale integration, we're well on our way to creating such instruments," Roukes says. This new technology, the researchers say, will enable the development of a new generation of mass-spectrometry instruments.
"This result demonstrates how the Alliance for Nanosystems VLSI, initiated in 2006, creates a favorable environment to carry out innovative experiments with state-of-the-art, mass-produced devices," says Laurent Malier, the director of CEA-LETI. The Alliance for Nanosystems VLSI is the name of the partnership between Caltech's Kavli Nanoscience Institute and CEA-LETI. "These devices," he says,"will enable commercial applications, thanks to cost advantage and process repeatability."
In addition to Roukes and Hanay, the other researchers on the Nature Nanotechnology paper, "Single-protein nanomechanical mass spectrometry in real time," are Caltech graduate students Scott Kelber and Caryn Bullard; former Caltech research physicist Akshay Naik (now at the Centre for Nano Science and Engineering in India); Caltech research engineer Derrick Chi; and Sébastien Hentz, Eric Colinet, and Laurent Duraffourg of CEA-LETI's Micro and Nanotechnologies innovation campus (MINATEC). Support for this work was provided by the Kavli Nanoscience Institute at Caltech, the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the Fondation pour la Recherche et l'Enseignement Superieur from the Institut Merieux, the Partnership University Fund of the French Embassy to the U.S.A., an NIH Director's Pioneer Award, the Agence Nationale pour la Recherche through the Carnot funding scheme, a Chaire d'Excellence from Fondation Nanosciences, and European Union CEA Eurotalent Fellowships.


The Responsive Neurostimulation System is currently under investigation as a neurosurgical option for medically refractory epilepsy. The device produces significant metallic artifact on conventional axial CT scans, resulting in limited diagnostic imaging options for implanted patients. We have developed a strategy to overcome this technical difficulty utilizing optimized patient positioning, thin-slice image acquisition, and postprocessing image reconstruction with commercially available software. Significant improvements were noted in the severity of device-related metallic streak artifact on reconstructed axial images. In addition, thin-section data were successfully used to generate detailed three-dimensional reconstructions, providing for improved visualization of the stimulator and the intracranial position of attached electrodes.
[Show abstract][Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: X-ray microtomography (micro-CT) is a new technique allowing for visualization of the internal structure of opaque specimens with a quasi-histological quality. Among multiple potential applications, the use of this technique in otology is very promising. Micro-CT appears to be ideally suited for in vitro visualization of the inner ear tissues as well as for evaluation of the electrode damage and/or surgical insertion trauma during implantation of the cochlear implant electrodes. This technique can greatly aid in design and development of new cochlear implant electrodes and is applicable for temporal bone studies. The main advantage of micro-CT is the practically artefact-free preparation of the samples and the possibility of evaluation of the interesting parameters along the whole insertion depth of the electrode. This paper presents the results of the first application of micro-CT for visualization of the inner ear structures in human temporal bones and for evaluation of the surgical positioning of the cochlear implant electrodes relative to the intracochlear soft tissues.
[Show abstract][Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The electrode Activa 3389 is widely implanted for deep brain stimulation (DBS) and MRI is often used to control the position of the electrode. However, induced distorsion artifacts may result in imprecise localization and may lead to misinterpretations of the clinical effects and mechanisms of DBS.
In vitro 3D MR study: the proximal and distal contacts of one electrode were spotted by two localizers. The maximal artifact height (MAH) and width (MAW: measured on distal contact), and the distances between the artifact and the localizers (proximal, distal and lateral) were measured on 2 transverse and sagittal MR sequences with 90 degrees rotation of frequency-encoded gradient and phase direction. In vivo 3D MR study: coronal and sagittal reconstructions along the main axis of the electrode were performed on 10 postoperative MR (20 electrodes) to measure MAH and MAW. A Student t test was used to compare in vitro and in vivo measurements.
In vitro study: A MAH of 10.35 mm (+/-0.23) and MAW of 3.6 mm (+/-0.2) were found. We measured symmetrical extensions of the artifact over the distal contact. In vivo study: A MAH of 10.36 mm (+/-0.44) and MAW of 3.56 mm (+/-0.30) were obtained. No significant different artifact dimensions were measured between in vitro and in vivo studies (p<0.0001).
Precise 3D localization of the electrode in implanted patients is provided by MR identification of the limits of the distal contact artifact. The position of the other contacts is deduced given the size of the contacts and the intercontact distance.
[Show abstract][Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: We report on the development of an electroencephalographic (EEG) recording system that is Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) compatible and can safely be left on the scalp during anatomical imaging or used to obtain simultaneous EEG and metabolic or hemodynamic data using functional imaging techniques such as functional MRI or MR spectroscopy.
We assembled a versatile EEG recording set-up with medically acceptable materials that contained no ferromagnetic components. It was tested for absence of excess heating and distortion of the image quality in a spherical phantom similar in size to average adult human head in a clinical 1.5 T GE scanner. After testing its safety in four volunteers, 100 consecutive patients from our epilepsy long-term monitoring unit were studied.
There was no change in the temperature of the EEG electrode discs during the various anatomical MRI sequences used in our routine clinical studies (maximum temperature change was -0.45 degrees C with average head SAR<==1.6 W/Kg in the selected subjects) nor were there any reported complications in the others. The brain images were not distorted by the susceptibility artifact of the EEG electrodes.
Our MRI compatible EEG set-up allows safe and artifact free brain imaging in 1.5T MR scanner with average SAR<==1.6 W/Kg. This EEG system can be used for EEG recording during anatomical MRI studies as well as functional imaging studies in patients requiring continuous EEG recordings.

Wire's important because of what it means for secure communications, not its Skype ties
The most interesting thing about Wire, a new communications service that introduced itself to the world on Wednesday, isn't that it was created and funded by former Skype employees.
No, the most interesting thing about the service is that it uses end-to-end encryption for any voice calls between its users by default, making it an ostensibly secure communications tool that doesn't feature the convoluted interface or complicated set-up process of other utilities.
It's no secret that most secure communications tools aren't as well-designed as those made for consumers who don't give a whit about ensuring their messages can't be snooped on by some intelligence agency or intrusive hacker. There are some exceptions, but for the most part, these tools are used because their security features make up for their boring interfaces.
Wire is part of a growing movement to change that. The service is better-designed than even its insecure competitors, and it's easier to set up than other secure communications tools. It isn't perfect -- Wire's decision not to encrypt instant messages sent via the service because it wants to provide search tools is regrettable -- but altogether the service has some potential.
Besides, consumers already have a secure, easy-to-use messaging tool available to them: WhatsApp. The company rolled out end-to-end encryption for all messages sent between its Android users in November, and it plans to expand the feature to other platforms, too.
Between Wire's release and WhatsApp's new commitment to digital security, then, it's clear that secure communications will no longer be the sole province of paranoiacs willing to deal with software that looks like it would have seemed dated when Windows 95 was new. Having to choose between convenience and a modicum of security might soon be a thing of the past.
That's much more interesting -- and important -- than the fact that Wire has so many ties to the company it's trying to replace.

Three tracts of high-quality prairie remnants have added 116.94 acres to H.E. Flanagan Prairie Natural Area (NA) in Franklin County. The three contiguous tracts of land adjoin The Nature Conservancy's Presson-Oglesby Preserve, adding to the area’s conservation corridor.
Along with the nearby Cherokee Prairie Natural Area, Flanagan Prairie NA is among the few remnants of the more extensive Cherokee Prairie Complex that formerly occupied approximately 135,000 acres of the western portion of the Arkansas Valley ecoregion of Arkansas. Flanagan Prairie NA is an excellent example of a tallgrass prairie, which differs from prairies elsewhere in Arkansas due to its shale-derived soil. Tallgrass prairies often have rich topsoil, and as the name implies, are dominated by several species of tall grasses, most notably big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii), little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium), switch grass (Panicum virgatum), and Indian grass (Sorghastrum nutans). In addition to these “backbone species,” prairies support hundreds of other species of grasses, sedges, rushes, forbs (wildflowers), and shrubs, as well as a rich and varied fauna.
Flanagan Prairie NA became part of the Arkansas statewide System of Natural Areas in 1988. The former Arkansas First Lady Betty Bumpers grew up in Franklin County and the natural area is named for her father, H.E. “Babe” Flanagan, who once owned the property.

He noted the angle of the tail of the aircraft, the way the tail has drifted too far, and the spacing of the engines as well as the tunnel between them.
Ruslan Pukhov, director of the Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies in Moscow, confirmed that the aircraft belonged to the Russian MiG-29, and the farthest soldier in the advertisement also showed an AK-74 assault rifle.
The Trump Make America Great Again Committee is run by both the Republican National Committee and the campaign. Most of the low-dollar and digital donations raised by the committee go to the campaign.
The image in the advertisement is a stock photo available on Shutterstock.com entitled “Military Silhouette of Soldiers and Air Force Against the Background of Sunset Sky.” The creator of the image named “BPTU” says they are based in Andorra, but did not respond to a Facebook message.
The MiG-29, a twin-engine fighter jet designed in the Soviet Union, which first flew in 1977, is Russia’s main fighter aircraft and has been sold worldwide. It was developed specifically during the Cold War to counter American F-15s and F-16s, and the US gained anything to play hostile to war games. The planes have recently been spotted at a Russian airport in Syria and Libya.
Russia has also exported them to many countries, including North Korea, Syria, India and Uzbekistan. Iran also acquired the MiG-29K 68 at the end of the Soviet Union. In 1997, the US purchased 21 “nuclear-capable” MiG-29 aircraft from Moldova to keep them in the hands of opponents like Iran.
The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment. The RNC declined to comment.
Politicians have in the past gotten into trouble for running advertisements or creating content that displays military equipment from Russian or other countries. Last October, Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.) Tweeted photo of Russian war painter Pyotra Velikia With the comment: “Happy birthday to the US Navy. To those men and women who serve to keep our water safe, we thank you.” His office later downgraded the tweet.

MG - Picturing Alyssa (by Alison Lohans)
12.7 x 20.3 cm (5 x 8 in)
Who is the girl staring out of the old photograph? Every time Alyssa looks at it, even by accident, she finds herself flung back in time to an Iowa farm in 1931. The past is much nicer than Alyssa’s present life, with her mother severely depressed after the stillbirth of her sister, bullying by a popular girl at school, and a teacher who is unsympathetic towards Alyssa’s family’s pacifist beliefs.
Somehow Alyssa always gets yanked back to the present. And the past isn’t perfect either, with so much work, and Deborah’s mother about to have a baby too. Worse, Alyssa’s old family photographs show alarming things about her family in the past. Can she stay on top of the problems in both places?

I've followed Nick Cave's music career the past 25 years or so with trepidation and fear. Like The Alex Harvey Band, I always wondered how these artists could have fans. But instead of eschewing his talents, he grew on me, especialy his work the past 10 years solo and with The Bad Seeds. Last year, I really thought he would finally breakthrough in the USA with Grinderman. But I guess American fans no longer have the taste for blues-based or blues-rock music. I think the above review is really dead on and I also like the new NC&TBS album, even though I've only heard the title track. I still hate The Alex Harvey Band.

Quote from Easy Landscape Drawing :
Drawing a cool art, even in the event you have never done it before, is something that you should do in minutes. The book is going to teach you how you’re able to create marvelous drawings employing simple strategies and methods. I add detail to a single piece and set in front of me and then pick another piece to work on and so forth. Some figures will be easy that you draw. Here is a lovely face picture you may download today. The human eye is among the simplest and enjoyable thing to draw on paper.
There are many kinds of ground you’re able to use for your drawing. Dirt ground is quite plain and boring, therefore we must bring a few details to make it even more interesting. Drawing a tree is all about looking at it from various angles and seeing how it seems in various lights, I suppose I’m a tree geek and that’s the reason why I often take photos of trees, so I can later draw all the intriguing bark details at my own leisure. The color of light is truly composed of all the colours of the rainbow. A rainbow is made by something called light refraction. Seeing a rainbow all is based on the angle of the sun in connection with where you’re. To earn a crystal clear broth, you have to cook chicken on a very low heat without a cover for a minimum of three hours.
The duration of the faces of the triangle will rely on the form of the major body. The size of the 2 circles will vary whether the front and rear wheels are of distinct sizes. As you concentrate on drawing a neighborhood shape, always take note of the total shape you’re drawing. Once you have learnt how to draw the outline, the following thing ought to be to learn to draw the different parts of the vehicle. Make certain you can easily draw form and figures, and you’re extremely confident about that.
You simply have to master a few drawing basics and you’re ready to go. After you learn the fundamentals of drawing a vehicle, there’s not a single car model in the entire world that you can’t draw.

Democrats Fear 87 Year-Old Dianne Feinstein Not Up For Looming Supreme Court Battle
“If you take a look at Kavanaugh, we may be short two senators because of that. And if this gets [messed] up, it may be the same result.”
Senator Dianne Feinstein of California is the Democratic party’s ranking member on the Judiciary Committee. Now that we’re headed into another Senate battle over a Supreme Court justice confirmation, some Democrats worry that she isn’t up to the fight.
Did I mention that Feinstein is 87 years old?
John Bresnahan and Marianne Levine write at Politico:
Democrats worry Feinstein can’t handle Supreme Court battle
As the Senate prepares for yet another brutal Supreme Court nomination fight, one particularly sensitive issue is creating apprehension among Democrats: what to do with 87-year-old Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee.
Feinstein, the oldest member of the Senate, is widely respected by senators in both parties, but she has noticeably slowed in recent years. Interviews with more than a dozen Democratic senators and aides show widespread concern over whether the California Democrat is capable of leading the aggressive effort Democrats need against whoever President Donald Trump picks to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
The Judiciary Committee is the critical battleground in the Supreme Court confirmation process. At stake, her own Democratic colleagues worry, is more than just whether the party can thwart Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in his rush to fill the seat. Some Democrats privately fear that Feinstein could mishandle the situation and hurt their chances of winning back the majority.
Feinstein sometimes gets confused by reporters’ questions, or will offer different answers to the same question depending on where or when she’s asked. Her appearance is frail.
So Feinstein appears frail and isn’t as sharp as she used to be? I’m just thinking out loud here, but maybe it has something to do with the fact that she’s 87 years old.
According to the report, some of Feinstein’s colleagues threw her under the bus:
A Democratic senator, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said a group of Feinstein’s colleagues want Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) or Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) to serve as the top Democrat on the Judiciary panel for the upcoming nomination hearings, which are expected to be extraordinarily contentious. This senator is worried that potential missteps by Feinstein could cost Democrats seats.
“She’s not sure what she’s doing,” the Democratic senator said of Feinstein. “If you take a look at Kavanaugh, we may be short two senators because of that. And if this gets [messed] up, it may be the same result.”…
Another Democratic senator said party leaders were “in an impossible position,” pointing out that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y) and other senior Democrats can’t replace a female senator for hearings on an expected female nominee to replace a deceased female Supreme Court justice.
Feinstein actually reacted to this report with surprise.
J.Edward Moreno reported at The Hill:
Feinstein ‘surprised and taken aback’ by suggestion she’s not up for Supreme Court fight
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (Calif.), the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, is rejecting suggestions that she is not prepared to handle an upcoming Supreme Court nomination fight.
Democratic sources told Politico in a story published Wednesday that there is concern that Feinstein, 87, is not capable of leading an aggressive push against the Supreme Court nominee President Trump picks to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
“I’m really surprised and taken aback by this. Because I try to be very careful and I’m puzzled by it,” Feinstein told Politico. “My attendance is good, I do the homework, I try to ask hard questions. I stand up for what I believe in.”
Some people have suggested this is really about other related issues.
Dems (Two Weeks Ago): 87 year old RBG is a kweeen and should stay on the Court!
Dems (Today): 87 year old DiFi is a vegetable! https://t.co/G1mWOv20gS
— Comfortably Smug (@ComfortablySmug) September 23, 2020
Former Hillary Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon has a suggestion that even Republicans can get behind.
If you are concerned about Feinstein helming the Democratic side of the dais during the confirmation hearing, but also worried about the sensitivities of pushing her aside, there is an easy solution:
Dems boycott the hearing
This whole charade is illegitimate anyway.
— Brian Fallon (@brianefallon) September 23, 2020
Excellent idea. The hearing would be much smoother without the Democrats.

to the full extent allowed by law.
Again, the Dems. projecting
This whole charade is illegitimate anyway.
If anyone is up to illegitimate stuff it is the Dems.
When they say she’s not “up to it”… what they mean is she may not attempt the whole Kavanaugh smear campaign again to their satisfaction.
Her Communist Chinese bribers and Soras will not be happy.
Expect a lot of big DEMS to “lil’ Ruthie” before election day.
From Weasel Zippers:
Democrats To Introduce Bill To Term Limit Supreme Court Justices…
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Democrats in of the House of Representatives will introduce a bill next week to limit the tenure of U.S. Supreme Court justices to 18 years from current lifetime appointments, in a bid to reduce partisan warring over vacancies and preserve the court’s legitimacy.
The new bill, seen by Reuters, would allow every president to nominate two justices per four-year term and comes amid heightened political tensions as Republican President Donald Trump prepares to announce his third pick for the Supreme Court after the death on Sept. 18 of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, with just 40 days to go until the Nov. 3 election.
Excellent editorial on how the Democrats have lost the corrupting power they perversely crave – after 4 generations of the “long march” through take-over and destruction of all U.S. institutions……..
With Ginsburg’s Death, Cue The Last Stand Of American Marxists
“You don’t need to have a dog’s keen nose to smell the fear and desperation that clings to these people, however. It is palpable in their behavior, their rhetoric and their over-reaction to everything Trump does or might do.
And their act is tiresome. The American people have fear porn fatigue. It’s showing up in the polls and its showing up in their hysterics.”
Why would the Democrats show their dirty underwear ?
leave nadler out of this one
Nadler doesn’t have to show those, because he’s doing on his business suit.
The DEMS are scared sh…..less literally…….
“My attendance is good, I do the homework, I try to ask hard questions. I stand up for what I believe in.”
Sounds like she’s trying hard for one of those Participation Prizes.
Politicians that hold onto their offices well past their prime do their parties and their constituents a disservice. Retire at a reasonable age and allow someone new bring in fresh ideas.
Diane F. wasn’t elected queen – she should have retired years ago, and RGB made the fatal mistake of not retiring during the Obama years when she could have been safely replaced with another far left judge.
At least in this case, their self-serving mistakes are to the advantage of Republicans for once.
They are all pathological and self-reverential narcissists. These Dhimmi-crats enjoy wielding power, for the sense of importance that it gives them, as well as for power’s sake, itself.
Also in Pelosi & Di-Fi’s cases enriching ($$$) their families …..not only their husbands but children.
Grandchildren also no doubt…..
Great Grandchildren also.
If they’re trying to delay or beat a well qualified nominee, they can expect to lose more Senate seats, and it wouldn’t matter who is serving as ranking member of the committee.
I was looking forward to the Dems laying down at the entrance to the chamber and Mitch telling the Reps to wear cleats.
Just like Ginsburg, if you were concerned about her ability to do her damn job, maybe you should have done something BEFORE she was required to perform critical jobs for you.
But no, Democrat power mongering means that 80+ year old goats with zero intelligence are given ranking member status.
You would think it would be Biden that they would be concerned about not being able to do the job. In any case I laugh along with you about good ole over the hill
Feinstein, HA HA.
With Kavanaugh, DiFi ably led the “Cleaning of the Augean Stables” quite well. For Republicans.
Back during the Kavanaugh confirmation brouhaha Ford’s accusations were trotted out as the Democrats’ version of an October surprise, but to their surprise the GOP caucus didn’t do what they wanted/expected and abandon him.
So now in addition to questioning her mental competence history needs to be rewritten to show that it was Feinstein’s fault that the Ford gambit failed.
As for the fact she’s the ranking member of the committee because of her seniority, the House Democrats have the same issue: Get to be the top Democrat on a committee and you can sit in that spot for decades.
87 yrs old and a multi millionaire.
started government jobs in the 60’s. cannot find anything that said she ever had job/career in private sector.
She’s a multi-millionaire because she owns half of her husband’s fortune. That’s all.
Said fortune largely acquired via China dealings. No connection to his wife being a Senator, of course.
Oh, dear me, never! That would be WRONG.
Umm, yeah. You go on believing that’s all it is if it makes you happy. Washington DC is the place people go to do good, and end up doing well.
It won’t matter if Graham himself isn’t up for the fight. A big if.
You’re questioning who has the biggest pair?
The Dems don’t do history. They have forgotten how well they did in Wisconsin when they all moved to Illinois to try to thwart Scott Walker and the Republicans.
Please, boycott the hearings
They’re worried that another “the dogma is strong…” anti-Catholic tirade won’t play well with the voters, especially this close to the election.
They’re dropping like flies…
“Feinstein sometimes gets confused by reporters’ questions, or will offer different answers to the same question depending on where or when she’s asked. Her appearance is frail.”
Why isn’t she running for President?
That was mean and nasty. And, I liked it.
Tucker: The left’s extreme reaction to Ginsburg’s death
Related. Very good to watch.
Government must be a good job staying until your put in the ground.
It’s like that Dire Straits hit song….
“Money for nothing, and your…..
… money for lyin’ and yer perks fo’ free …
Democrats have decided that it would be a good idea to replace their female Judiciary Chair with a man named Dick to attack a female Supreme Court nominee. That seems like bad politics.
She could probably still intimidate Sen. Murkowski. Who is totally without a spine.
People like Dianne do very little of the work on these hearings. They all have a staff full of people who do the grunt work and digging. Someone on her staff writes up her opening statement and prepares a few questions to ask, usually in conjunction with other committee members of the same party. This is all a staged show for the cameras. If she needs to intervene as ranking member she will be prompted by a staffer. The ranking member and chair get more staff than the others.
You won’t see her in front of the media after the fact, that is Durbin’s job plus a few others.
“The bigotry lives loudly in Feinstein.”
Amazing how these utterly worthless and useless Dhimmi-crat apparatchik-fossils manage to enjoy their cozy sinecures for four or five decades, after already having worked in government. Nobody in the private sector lasts this long, because they’re doing actual and substantive work.
The crazies in the DNC-CPUSA are trying to use reverse psychology on Feinstein and received the cooperation they sought from the propaganda outlets like Politico.
By publicly questioning Feinstein’s mettle, acuity, ability and commitment to the great progressive agenda, they hope to anneal her and harden her resolve. They want to see old Diane respond by raising hell on the committee when the hearings come to impress her peers and show them she is not too old to cut it.
This old scumbag Feinstein was corrupted by the Chinese Communists long, long ago.
Yeah, and all got away free as a bird
Adam Shiftless is being lined up to take the Di Fi seat when she goes. Funny that Gavin Newsom doesn’t want to be paired with his ex-girlfriend as the other California Senator.
Wonder if that combo would be the first time in history that the two Senators from the same State slept together?
Huh? What are you talking about? When were Newsom and Harris ever involved with each other?
Early 2000’s when Kammy and Gavin both worked for Willie Brown. Kammy was the reason Gavins marriage to Kimberly Guilfoyle ended. Several authors have asked Guilfoyle to confirm the details, but she will not comment until after the election.
I’ve read about Gruesome’s affair with Kamala before also.
What a Gruesome Twosome!
Two greasy, Machiavellian and self-serving snakes.
A blogger from SF said that in the early 2000’s Gavin was known as “Threesome Newsom” and that supposedly was the last straw for Kimberly…
Franken-Feinstein is the Dem’s liability. You gotta dance with who brung you. Good luck – hopefully her Chinese Communist China driver will assist her in her dementia. I recommend the Catholic dogma line of questioning again!
Who ate all the popcorn!?
This hag is 87? You think she would have made enough money from her CCP buddies and gone home years ago.
Another fossil who needs to go…
What is worse for the Democrats is that they decided to have mail-in voting at the time when a couple of special elections for Senator may, in fact, allow them to stop the SCOTUS replacement. With the mail-ins, the outcome of the election will be delayed thus giving the Republicans more time to complete their SCOTUS confirmation before the special election allow the new Senators to be sworn in.
In Gulliver’s Travels, Jonathon Swift writes about a people known as Struldbrugs. These people never die, and at age eighty are legally declared dead. Their estates are given to the heirs, and they are given a modest pension.
As Swift wrote, there is good reason for doing this:
Otherwise, as avarice is the necessary consequence of old age, those immortals would in time become proprietors of the whole nation, and engross the civil power, which, for want of abilities to manage, must end in the ruin of the public.
We can see the damage done by old geezers like Feinstein, Ginsburg, Biden, Pelosi, and other too numerous to list here.

September is National Suicide Prevention Month, and during this month we wish to address this serious topic and reduce the stigma around the discussion of mental health.
Many people struggle with feelings of depression and hopelessness, but the taboo of mental health is still prevalent in our society, and medical help is scarce and often expensive. This leaves those who struggle with mental illness vulnerable and seemingly helpless.
Even those who are close to a person struggling with mental illness may not be aware of their suffering, or don’t know how to help.
The most important thing you can do for a loved one dealing with mental illness is to ask and listen. Many people often feel relief simply knowing that someone cares about them and their well-being, and is willing to listen without judgment.
Another way to help someone is to create a network of resources and individuals they can turn to for support; many people are not aware of the resources available that can assist them and offer support.
Many social media sites have built-in functions to report concerning behavior and will reach out to the user to offer assistance and resources. You can also call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 in the United States if you or a loved one is experiencing suicidal thoughts.
Let us use this month as an opportunity to be compassionate and supportive to those struggling around us, as we never know what someone else may be going through.

OnePlus may have just launch another real “flagship killer” this year too, a smartphone that will give plenty of headaches from Samsung, Apple, Huawei and many, many others.
The new OnePlus 6 comes with top specifications, a design, that although I don’t like very much, it those follow the current trends, including the notched screen as the iPhone X, dual camera, fingerprint sensor and everything else someone wanting on flagship with at a decent price may ask.
OnePlus 6 has a 6.28-inch AMOLED screen with FullHD+ resolution (2280×1080) with 19:9 aspect ratio, and the already not surprising anymore notch. It’s protected by a Gorilla Glass 5 shield.
Under the hood we find a Snapdragon 845 chipset with octa-core CPU, clocked at 2,8GHz and Adreno 630 GPU, the best option Android smartphone at this moment. OnePlus 6 offers two RAM, 6GB and 8GB options, and three internal storage options, 64GB, 128GB and 256GB. It does not have a microSD card slot.
The main camera has two sensors 16MP+20MP, features a LED flash, offering multiple operating modes: Portrait, Pro Mode, Panorama, HDR, HQ, Dynamic Deno, Clear Image, and RAW.
The selfie snapper has a 16MP sensor and comes with Portrait, HDR, Screen Flash, Smile Capture, Face Beauty modes.
The phone is powered by a 3,300mAh battery with fast charging (5V 4A), with a fingerprint sensor located on the back under the dual camera. OnePlus has not yet removed the 3.5mm audio jack, so you do not have to buy any wireless headsets or adapters, for you favorite headphones.
The company also announces that the phone is splashproof, so it should not be bothered by a few drops of rain, but as they say “don’t take it for a swim”.
OnePlus will be available from May 22, in three color variants, called Mirror Black, Midnight Black and Silk White. Prices start at $529 for the 6GB and 64GB internal storage, up to $629 for the most expensive version, with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. I do not think there are phones as well equipped, cheaper on the market right now.
These are the prices for US. Check the prices for you country or region here.

heres an old Cattaraugus oval hole packing knife.
it advertises the oval hole packing material used to seal steam engine rods back in the day. the holes would wear in an oval shape over time. the oval hole packing material would seal the action.
ive read of 1 actually brought home by a war vet that dated 1943. ive seen similar Cattaraugus knife handles dating back to the 20s. im thinking it ww2 era as the story was definite in its read.
its not perfect, but a really nice for a knife for its age. no rust or pitting to speak of. the handle is unblemished. itd been sharpened of course, but was dulling . didn't take much on the soft oil stone to get it shaving sharp ! really tight and the leather looks fantastic. seen them in like conditions selling for 3 to 4 times what I paid at an indoor flea market this morning.... 15 bucks !

PTT app to cut food queues
PTT Oil and Retail Business Plc (OR) has teamed up with a startup to launch a QueQ mobile application to help motorists manage their queues and reduce the time it takes to buy food and beverages at PTT petrol stations.
The app also aims to facilitate delivery service providers which have to deal with a number of online food and drink orders.
QueQ can be used with Pin Tho Pump, a new food takeaway and delivery service, as well as other food and coffee shops at PTT stations.
After placing purchase orders, people can pick them up at petrol stations or through delivery services.
Somyot Kongprawet, OR's senior executive vice-president for non-oil retail business, said the app is expected to be of most benefit to motorists who do not want to waste their time by waiting in a long queue.
OR has partnered with QueQ Thailand, a six-year-old startup specialising in making queue management applications. The software can be widely applied to many sectors, including banks and medical services.
Pin Tho Pump was officially launched last week with five pilot petrol stations, locally called "pumps", chosen to offer a new food service.
The petrol stations are located at Lat Phrao, Ratchaphruek 1, Phutthamonthon Sai 4, Vibhavadi Rangsit Road and Rama 2 Road.
Mr Somyot said OR expects the food service to match the new lifestyles of people living in the city.
OR earlier acquired shares in a laundry business to further expand its non-oil services, including the provision of launderettes at its petrol stations.
The company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Modulus Venture Co, purchased a 40% share in K-nex Corporation for 1.1 billion baht. K-nex is a retailer of laundry and dryer machines and a franchiser of laundry self-services under the "Otteri Wash & Dry" brand.
The investment will lead to an expansion of launderette branches, both at the company's petrol stations and outside of them, according to OR.


Uniswap breaks $1T in volume — but has only been used by 3.9M addresses
Decentralized exchange (DEX) Uniswap has topped $1 trillion in total trading volume since launching on Ethereum in late 2018.

According to data from Uniswap Labs, which are major contributors to the development of the protocol and ecosystem, the DEX’s number of cumulative addresses hit around 3.9 million this month after just over three years.
