ESPN.com's AccuScore, the computer prediction machine designed to calculate the odds of NFL games from week to week, has predicted the Steelers as favorites in this Sunday's game against the Patriots. The Steelers, according to the machine, are 53 percent favorites when simulated the standard 10,000 times. The average margin of victory though was a paltry 0.7 points per simulation.
The edge in this prediction may be that the Steelers are at home, despite the fact that the Patriots own the better record (albeit by 0.5 games in the loss column), at 5-1, to the Steelers 5-2. But that subtle difference probably speaks to the 0.7 point differential in the prediction.
Also, this news just broke from practice squad linebacker Mortty Ivy, who tweeted that he will be playing in Sunday's game. Check back for updates on the injury status of the Pittsburgh linebacking corps and more updates and coverage of this weekend's big game.

A vendor that operates amusement rides at the Washington County Fair has been fined $100,000 for conducting unsafe rides in California.
The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health has fined Beaverton-based Butler Amusements, Inc. for knowingly operating rides after bolts and cross bracing had been removed, according to a news release.
The agency started an investigation after receiving a tip about safety concerns at Fresno County fair in Central California. Investigators found that the giant wheel was missing 12 bolts in its leg structure, and another ride was missing the cross bracing used for support.
Butler Amusements has provided the carnival rides at the Washington County Fair since 2011, said county spokesperson Philip Bransford. The company also operates rides at the Coos County Fair and in several other locations across the western United States.
Washington County’s relationship with Butler Amusements will continue as before, Bransford said. He said the county is following Oregon’s safety regulations for amusement rides.
The state regulates carnival rides through its Department of Consumer and Business Services Building Codes Division. The division issues permits for amusement rides, investigates complaints and accidents, and has the ability to shut down a ride if unsafe, said senior policy advisor Lisa Morawski. Rides have to pass an annual inspection from insurance providers before they can receive a permit.
Last year, the Washington County Fair received about $145,000 from Butler Amusements, representing a percentage of the firm’s sales during the event. This year, the fair will take place July 24-27.

1. Creative Fun: Do you remember coloring as a kid? It has been a long time for most of us. With activity pages, kids will use their creativity to select colors and decorate. Depending upon age and skill, some will scribble a single color all over the paper, but others will pay close attention to staying within the lines and using several colors to make the dinosaur page a work of art. Regardless of the skill level of the artist, kids get creative and have a lot of fun.
Coloring pages for kids are a popular item, because they can be found in any library or store for kids. They can also be printed out from the internet in any size and can be used as posters or wallpapers for a room. These coloring pages for kids can be of many different types. With cartoon characters from famous cartoons, such as Disney’s cartoons, Pixar and many others like it. They can also represent famous children’s stories and fairy tales.
Thus, this is a hobby – all children appear interested to garner the coloring-pages and cards to enjoy their life at their best. You might speculate that, in what sort of colors or images my kid is interested in.The coloring page, usually kids show their interest in:
Every kid loves to draw, paint and color artwork. Coloring pages are a lot of fun for kids because they have familiar characters or subjects on them that they relate to. Adding color and bringing the black and white page to life with colors is very special to kids. This article will discuss 3 reasons why a dinosaur coloring page is loved by so many children.

The wizards of weather forecasting continue to astound us whenever they “get it right.” Thanks in a large part to the complex polar and geostationary satellites high above the earth, meteorologists can create amazing models predicting sunny or rainy days. But satellite data is only one dimension of the weather and climate story.
Satellites take the “top-down” view, but are limited in how precisely they can resolve features or data near the earth's surface. For that reason alone, we have to also take the “bottom-up” view when it comes to weather observations and radar data. All of these technologies are needed for the big picture.

While pre-birth care has for quite some time been seen as a significant procedure towards working on maternal dismalness and mortality, there is little information to help the reason that admittance to pre-birth care impacts perinatal results. Besides, little is thought about geographic boundaries that effect admittance to mind in an underserved populace and how this may impact perinatal results. The points of this investigation were to: assess perinatal results among ladies with and without pre-birth care, and look at boundaries to getting pre-birth care as indicated by block-level information of home. We speculated that ladies without pre-birth care would have more terrible results and more hindrances to getting pre-birth care administrations.
This was a review partner investigation of pregnant ladies conveying at ≥ 24 weeks incubation in an enormous downtown open emergency clinic framework. Maternal and neonatal information was preoccupied from the electronic wellbeing record and a Community Wide Data Initiative dataset, which incorporates financial and nearby geographic information from assorted sources. Maternal qualities and perinatal results were analyzed among ladies with and without pre-birth care. Prebirth care was characterized as no less than one visit before experience for conveyance. Results of interest were: preterm conveyance <37 long stretch of incubation, toxemia/eclampsia, NICU days post-conveyance. Hindrances to mind were examined including public transportation access and area of closest district supported pre-birth facility as indicated by block-level area of home. Measurable examination included chi-square test and investigation of fluctuation with calculated relapse performed for change of segment highlights. Between 1 January and 31 October 2019, 9,488 ladies got pre-birth care though 326 didn't. Ladies without pre-birth care contrasted by race and were noted to have higher paces of substance use (P=0.004), preterm birth, and longer lengths of infant affirmation (both P<0.001). After change for segment highlights, higher paces of preterm birth in ladies without prebirth care endured Women without pre-birth care dwelled in regions that depended more on open transportation and required longer travel times with more bus stations (29 versus 17, P<0.001) to the closest district supported pre-birth center. Sign without pre-birth care are at altogether expanded danger for antagonistic pregnancy results. In a huge downtown, ladies without pre-birth care live in regions with essentially greater levels of popularity for public transportation. Elective assets, including telemedicine and ridesharing, ought to be investigated to lessen boundaries to pre-birth care access.
A hybrid controlled preliminary including 14 pregnant ladies determined to have gestational diabetes mellitus (75 gram oral glucose load with 2-hour venous plasma glucose ≥ 9.0 mmol/L) was directed. Members finished a 4-day mediation period and a 4-day control period with three days in the middle. In each investigation period, members got a fixed and indistinguishable eating regimen. In the intercession time frame, members occupied with 20 minutes of postprandial span strolling after breakfast, lunch and supper. Stretch strolling contained rotating three minutes moderate and quick spans. Interstitial glucose focuses were resolved during both investigation periods with a ceaseless glucose screen. The blended impacts model was utilized to analyze contrasts among practice and no activity. Twenty minutes of postprandial span strolling altogether diminished glycemic control during daytime hours comparative with the control time frame. Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a pregnancy complexity portrayed by hyperglycemia during development. GDM creates because of inadequate insulin creation to conquer insulin obstruction related with pregnancy. Consequences of GDM incorporate expanded danger of toxemia, cesarean area and fetal microsomal and neonatal hypoglycemia. Moreover, GDM builds the danger of future advancement of type 2 diabetes in both the mother and the newborn child. GDM influences around 17% of pregnancies worldwide and commonness increments coincidently with the predominance of overweight and stoutness in ladies of childbearing age. Thusly, suitable administration of GDM is essential to limit maternal and fetal horribleness. A few investigations have shown that activity is related with a lessening in GDM occurrence and besides that mediation can decrease maternal and fetal bleakness brought about by GDM. Evidence is certain that a relationship exist between expanding blood glucose focuses and intricacies. A deliberate audit and meta-examination by Davenport et al. exhibited a decrease in blood glucose levels in ladies with and without GDM both during and following intense exercise, just as following ongoing activity intercession programs. What's more, practice intercessions in ladies with GDM, have shown decreased fasting and postprandial blood glucose concentrations also further developed insulin affectability and blood glucose control in ladies in danger for or with GDM.

For those who want to know what to make from egg carton, we shared caterpillar-made. By evaluating the egg cartons, you can make a play caterpillar.
Caterpillars or reptiles are sweet little creatures with bright colors and patterns. Let’s make colorful caterpillars with the empty egg carton that’s returning!
What do you need?
• Empty egg carton
• Toy eyes
• Watercolor or colored pencils
• Black ballpoint pen
1. Take the empty egg cartonation and cut the line, which is about 5-6 egg caps.
2. Cut the tiny triangles between the covers.
3. Cut the front half-cardboard to give a head shape.
4. Paint the outer surface with watercolor or colored crayons. You can paint each cover in different colors. The cardboard surface absorbs too much paint, so add enough water to your paint.
5. Stick eyes on your head and add a smile with a pencil. Instead of toy eyes, you can draw an eye on the paper and cut around it and paste it.

Conserving Water-Sensitive Precious Metal Artefacts
Being responsible for the conservation and restoration of irreplaceable objects that are of high material and immaterial value, conservators are constantly on the hunt for new methods and technologies. In the field of silver cleaning, a new technology has been developed offering unprecedented advantages over previously used methods. Here, KNF dosing pumps play a fundamental role.
Why cleaning silver is a demanding task
When silver is exposed to air or touched with bare hands, it reacts with sulfur and chlorine. Over time, this leads to a darkening of the surface and an overall dull and dirty appearance of the once shiny metal. With common silver objects like cutlery or jewelry, it is perfectly acceptable to remove this tarnish by polishing the surface with an abrasive. For ancient artefacts and treasures, however, this method is unsuitable because it removes silver with every application and erases traces of manufacturing and use.
Therefore, valuable objects are usually cleaned via electrolysis. For this purpose, the silver is immersed in an electrolyte and an electric current is applied. In the following process, the chemical reaction that caused the tarnish is reversed without removing any original material. The great weakness of this method is that only waterproof objects can be treated this way.
Electrolytic pencil for water-sensitive objects
In order to overcome this problem of conventional electrolytic cleaning methods, a Swiss team of scientists and conservators from the University of Applied Science Arc Conservation-Restoration (HE-Arc CR) has developed Pleco. It is a device that allows for the controlled application of electrolytic liquid to a localized surface area. Pleco is equipped with a nozzle tip connected to a small micro-porous polyvinyl (PVFM) foam pad.
When held against the metal surface of the object, electrolytic treatment solution is fed to the tip and is then immediately sucked back into the device. This process requires one pump for delivering the electrolyte to the object and another pump for drawing off the fluid. Unlike conventional electrolysis treatments, this method does not require the full immersion of the object in liquid.
Interdisciplinary open-source project
The technology is named after the famous fish Hypostomus Plecostomus also known as suckermouth catfish that cleans aquarium walls all over the world. It is open-source, which means conservators can freely download component lists, assembly instructions and fabrication files for 3D printing special parts. So far, about 50 professionals were trained in the use of Pleco as part of a training course at the University of Applied Science Arc Conservation-Restoration and about ten experts use Pleco frequently for conservation purposes.
The technology also works well for corrosion stabilization of lead. In addition, experiments are being considered to preserve archaeological copper alloy artefacts via stabilization of corroding chlorides – an unstable corrosion that endangers these precious artefacts.
The heart of the solution: a KNF pump
During the development of Pleco, the choice was made to use two KNF SIMDOS® 10 dosing pumps. Their precise flow rate setting, high reliability and ability to extract a liquid containing bubbles without any flowback were all factors in their consideration and selection. This last property is important as without the ability to reliably withdraw the fluid, drops would fall out of the pad and traces would remain on the objects’ surfaces.

Le Petit Ecolier is a French phrase that translates to English as “The Little Schoolboy”, which makes sense for this cookie because a schoolboy is stamped in the chocolate on top of the cookie. Le Petit Ecolier Cookie is essentially a chocolate bar with a bit of a hard cookie underneath. This cookie is made by Lu, which also makes the delectable Pim’s Cookies.
The chocolate is high quality and 60% cocoa, which is decently dark, but not so dark that it is super bitter. These cookies definitely go great with beverages like red wine, tea, and coffee. There is also a milk chocolate version, but I definitely like the dark chocolate version better.
Since it is made by Lu, Le Petit Ecolier is an imported cookie for Americans, and therefore is a bit on the expensive side at almost $4 for a 5.2oz pack. So, if you’re having a high tea, then these are a delicacy that you may want to have at the table, but they might not be your everyday go to snack.
It’s something that might come in a Bussin Snacks Mystery Box, but then again, I can find it most grocery stores that I’ve been to.
Le Petit Ecolier Cookies in a Vending Machine?
So, I think this is the first snack that I would not recommend not selling from your vending machine. It’s too expensive, and honestly it’s mostly a fancy chocolate bar with a crispy wafer underneath. Though Pim’s cookies are similarly expensive, I think there’s more novelty to Pim’s. Pim’s have a fruit flavored jelly in addition to the chocolate and do not have a direct competitor in America, but Le Petit Ecolier is has to compete with cookies and straight up chocolate bars like Hershey’s and seasonal snacks.
The only place where I think it would fit in a vending machine is in Europe, where it is likely significantly cheaper, and probably in higher demand. It’s tough to take any old snack from a grocery store and sell it from a vending machine, since you really need to find a distributor that carries the snack to cut out the middle man. There might be a distributor for vending machines that specializes in European snacks where you could get cookies from Lu at a better price, but I haven’t found one. If you do find one, please let me know in the comments below.

Working on this TVC was a turning point for me at the age of 19. My understanding of advertising had it's first 'on the job' lesson. I learned what we were setting out to achieve in terms of being clear, precise and accurate in our depictions of products. It was from this point onwards that I knew that there would be times where we would be flexible in terms of reality.
Later on in my career I would learn that this deviation from accuracy would be deemed by some as 'Artistic License'.

This was a stand out TVC at the time which was probably around 1988. Created at Omnicon Sydney.
The flat people were stop motion figures created using a series of photographs of the talent and animated against chroma key. I recall being told that the figurines were around 30cm tall. My role was to do clean up rotoscoping work on the resulting chroma key. Now this might not be such a big deal with the technology of today, but back then it was some task.
The limitations to consider were that there was no such thing as hard drive storage for video files. And when rotoscoping, there was no such luxuries as an interpolating bezier spline. Everything was done with a paint brush in the software.
The technical pathway for this task was thus..live on a Rank Cintel MK3 telecine, the 35mm film sat in the gate and not just any gate, the best tech of the time, the Steady Gate, a system for pin registration and locking to remove as best as possible, the weaving movement of film. While this film was scanned by the latest 'flying spot scanner' the video output passed to the hardware Ultimate4 which did a live chroma key, and we took the matte output, a black and white image, and that result was captured by the 2D machine of the time, the Quantapaint.
The Quantapaint was an 8bit 2D paint device with software created by 'Island Graphics' which was creating similar software for the Commodore Amiga at the time. When I say 8bit, I don't mean 'per channel' it was a total of 8bits and so it could only capture in black and white with 256 levels of greyscale.
Not only that, the image was scaled by an unknown amount horizontally, and shifted a bit to the left. This issue would be sorted out later in the edit suite using the Ampex ADO to register the matte pass to the original material.
Once each frame was in the Quantapaint, the task was to clean up the holes in the white, usually the result of reflections off the photographic paper on the figures, and the unwanted noise that showed as unclean white sections across the frame, a result of the shadows from the rigging etc.
Once the frame was painted, the result was then recorded using the SONY BVH-2500 1inch videotape machine. It had the unique feature of being able to make single frame recordings without the tape having to go through a pre-roll phase, so it sat quite still and once we pressed the button, it would go 'beep' and we had another frame on tape. This machine had a great name, what was known as the 'Delta Time VTR' meaning the usual rewinding backwards to then play forwards and get locked up before going into record wasn't required, it just dropped in a frame.
And so the process repeated. Frame after frame after frame.
I think we had the telecine suite tied up with this process for a couple of days straight. The engineer working at Amnion at the time, Alan Phillips (nicknamed 'Tiger' by Michael Eder) and myself were there overnight and in the wee small hours it got really difficult to tell if we had finished painting a frame, had recorded it and we had to devise a system utilising the latest pen and paper notebook technology to create a system for making a note of the film edge number that then would have a corresponding timecode on the SONY machine.
All this to create a clean matte pass for the online suite.

Then, Raf phosphorylates and stimulates the downstream kinase MEK, which in turn exhibits a serine threonine and tyrosine kinase exercise, resulting in the phosphorylation and activation on the extracellular signal regulated kinase 1 two. The Ras Raf Erk1 two signaling pathway regulates a substantial array of intracellular occasions, this kind of as proliferation, differenti ation, anxiety response, apoptosis and steroidogenesis. It really should be noted, nonetheless, that the part on the Erk1 two signaling pathway in steroidogenesis is, as however, poorly understood, because of conflicting reports demonstrating stimulation, inhibition or no result in numerous steroido genic cells.
The inhibitory effect of statins within the mevalonate pathway by inhibiting HMGCR, the fee limiting step of cholesterol synthesis, prospects to decreased availability of numerous downstream goods of your path way, including cholesterol and isoprenoids. We specu late that simvastatin selleck chemical inhibits theca cell steroidogenesis by inhibiting the isoprenylation of Ras and its subse quent activity on the Ras Raf Erk1 2 signaling pathway. Steady with all the over considerations, our preceding in vitro examine demonstrated that simvastatin induced inhibitory result on theca interstitial cell steroidogenesis is mediated, at least in part, by mechanisms involving decreased isoprenylation.
On top of that, we previ ously demonstrated that yet another statin, mevastatin, in hibits theca interstitial cell proliferation by selective inhibition of basal and insulin induced exercise on the Erk1 2 pathway. To date, very little is regarded concerning the purpose that resveratrol plays during the modulation from the mevalonate pathway. In vivo research have proven that resveratrol reduces hepatic HMGCR expression likewise as action in hamsters and mice. In our recent in vi


Neoteric research done by Melbourne University’s Energy Research Institute demonstrates that the cost of technology based on renewable energy, especially wind and solar power, will keep on falling throughout the following decade. And thus, the expense of these clean energy resources will shoot up to such an extent to keep pace with the expense of power produced by the fossil fuels before the decade’s over, and much sooner in a few areas.
Truth be told considering the solar power it is anticipated to ultimately become a less expensive energy source even without any government endowments.
As indicated by the chair of the Australian Photovoltaic Association Muriel Watt, the present unsubsidized expense of a solar Photovoltaic system purchased for around $1.80/watt deciphers into an expense of vitality of around 29c/kWh, the rate that numerous ménage are paying for electricity bought from the grid. She said that at $1.22/W, where costs have now tumbled to, the comparable production expense is 25c/kWh.
This implies that the government of Australia must set up long haul plans for infusing and incorporating renewable vitality sources covering commercial ventures, as specified by one of the professional.
Solar power has indicated colossal development in the course of recent years, accelerating our base load by 40% per year throughout the previous decade. This has been made especially evident while studying a technology learning curve;it is this total introduced limit that has at last prompted the business’ present achievement in the nation.
Solar photovoltaic technology’s prevalence grew generally due to the liberal government subsidies which yielded a popularity both in residential applications and large scale applications. Furthermore, in the last couple of years this has been combined with the decreasing costs of solar photo voltaic both in the international and local business, and the rising value of Australian money.
The proper learning through R&D will eventually provide real grid parity to the nation that doesn’t oblige propping up or counterfeit stimulants. Despite the fact that they provide a major support to solar installations all over the country, government impetuses are presently transient dashes for unheard of wealth to the business, and no more feasible.Keeping individual intrigues aside, renewable energy advances are going to play an essential part to battle environmental change at this vital time for our surroundings.
The main part of our carbon emanations are created via carbon intensive power plants and vehicle fuel burning. We definitely acknowledge what serious consequences global warming could cause, yet acknowledging alone doesn’t tackle the issue, awareness is a step ahead however genuine solutions depend on each of us for our dedication and activities.
Looking deep into the matter, The National Energy Commission is spending a lot to save its energy future. The results for Australia are immense. Like Chile it is a nation favored with high solar radiation and, joined with its boundless areas, ought to be in the crate seat when it comes for making utility scale solar projects. With a strong government, Australia may well be the “solar dominion” as depicted by the Spanish foreign minister on his visit to this nation this year to inaugurate the Royalla solar farm. Hoping for a bright future!

I’m ambivalent about Facebook for the most part. I know many people are annoyed by the adverts, but I kinda accept that as part of getting a free service. The thing that does wind me up is when the gnomes who build the Facebook engine take it upon themselves to decide what I should or should not see of my friends’ news, and indeed which of the people who have signed up to see my page actually get any of the feeds.
However, overall I think it’s a pretty amazing resource if used well. I find it invaluable for keeping track of my family and friends across the world. It’s also a powerful collaboration platform for artists. I’ve met so many wonderfully talented people who share their knowledge and insights online with great generosity.
It was a photograph of a beautiful stoneware pot that became the catalyst for our trip which led to some garden sketching in France.
Mark Judson posted a photograph of this stunning stoneware pot just out of the kiln. I’m a sucker for gorgeous ceramics. Just a tiny bit impulsively, I bought it there and then – and then had to work out how to collect it from the centre of France.
We love rural France. We really don’t need much of an excuse to hop across the channel, so with a bit of a nudge from Facebook, off we went to collect my newly acquired treasure. Since Chenevaux was where I first started painting in earnest, I can never visit without getting out my brushes.
Caroline’s garden is in glorious bloom and there was plenty of sketching inspiration all around us. The 86 rose plants make the garden a wonderfully fragrant place to relax. This is not a formal manicured collection of flowerbeds. Rather, it’s a celebration of nature with mixed borders that combine self-sown and carefully placed plants that complement each other perfectly.
Garden Sketching subjects:
A single red Hollyhock flower caught my eye. I love the depth of the colour and the fat blousy shape of the petals as they cluster up the tall stem.
And scrambling over the gravel in the driveway, and under the rosebushes, delicate blue Nigella flowers echo the blue of the sky.
Sometimes there’s as much satisfaction in sketching tiny elements as there is in painting a complex composition. It all helps to hone observation skills and master shape and tone.

10,000 extra prison places to keep the public safe
Programme of up to £2.5 billion will fund modern and efficient prisons
• 10,000 additional prison places
• First new prison at HMP Full Sutton
Up to £2.5 billion will be spent on creating modern, efficient prisons, the Prime Minister announced today (11 August 2019).
The programme - part of a wider crack-down on crime - will create 10,000 additional prison places.
The first new prison will be built at HMP Full Sutton, alongside the already well-performing maximum-security jail in operation at the site. This, along with further building works, will be subject to government working through the best-value-for-money options.
The 10,000 places will be in addition to the new prisons that have already been announced, at Wellingborough and Glen Parva, which will provide 3,360 places by 2023. The new funding will also be used to bring previously decommissioned prison places back into use through extensive refurbishment and maintenance work.
This major investment builds upon the Prime Minister’s commitment to recruit 20,000 more frontline police officers over the next 3 years – to protect the public and cut crime.
Ensuring prisons have sufficient capacity to hold the additional offenders who will be caught, charged and sentenced is a crucial part of the government’s effort to create a more effective justice system.
Modern prisons also provide better opportunities to reform criminals. Reoffending costs society £18 billion a year and accounts for three-quarters of all crime that is cautioned or sentenced. Newer prisons are also more efficient to run and benefit the taxpayer in the longer term.
This prison modernisation will complement our previously announced reforms to probation. These will ensure the improved monitoring of those released from jail, while providing more effective services and treatment to steer offenders away from criminality.
Justice Secretary, Rt Hon Robert Buckland QC MP, said:
"The Prime Minister is putting prisons at the heart of our bold plan to create a justice system which cuts crime and protects law-abiding people. More and better prison places means less re-offending and a lower burden on the taxpayer in the future.
"Boris’s vision for policing shows this Government is serious about fighting crime. It is vital we have a world-leading prison estate to keep criminals off our streets and turn them into law-abiding citizens when they have paid their debt to society.
"Modern jails are best-placed to achieve that and will provide us with crucial stability in our prison estate for many years to come so we can keep criminals behind bars, rehabilitate them, and better protect the public."
The long-term building programme will reduce overcrowding and create a modern, efficient estate that is sustainable into the future.
Ageing prisons are expensive to run and maintain, and are less effective at promoting rehabilitation and ultimately cutting crime.
Tomorrow (12 August 2019) the Prime Minister will host leaders from the police, probation and prison sectors at Downing Street to discuss how to cut crime and improve the criminal justice system.

World Monuments Fund was awarded funding to enhance and document the built heritage and build community capacity and management frameworks in the historic town of Amedi in Iraq following an extended period of conflict in the region. This project is delivered in partnership with The University of Dohuk.
In June 2018 World Monuments Fund was awarded a £100,000 grant from the British Council’s Cultural Protection Fund to build community capacity and management frameworks for the protection of Amedi, a 2016 World Monuments Watch Site, in Iraqi Kurdistan. Located in the mountainous north of Iraq, Amedi’s ancient citadel is dramatically perched on top of a steep promontory. Archaeological remains, an elaborate medieval city gate, historic buildings, local construction techniques and distinctive community traditions are the cultural hallmarks of this important historic town. The physical, social and economic well-being of Amedi has been threatened by the extended period of conflict in the region. As the region stabilizes, pressure for redevelopment and regeneration has increased and short-term gain will be at the expense of long-term protection, potentially eroding the distinctive heritage of this outstanding place, which is its strongest asset. The basis for our project was to develop a masterplan for the city with the local communities, municipal authorities and Iraqi government, which will form a model for heritage conservation for other small historic towns in the region. In addition, we have trained local authority staff in the delivery and implementation of masterplans.

The deposition of fat in the stomach area is believed to be due to the stress hormone cortisol. But I have been trying very honestly for some years not to stress myself, but my belly is often so large that my friends suspect me of a secret pregnancy. This "post-term" problem brought me to the A2C clinic which, besides anti-aging programs, specializes in food intolerance.
Maybe the term food allergy has sprung now into your head. But it is manifested differently - significantly and especially quickly after contact with an allergen, so the culprit is easy to identify. The case of food intolerance is more difficult. It is namely caused by other antibodies; it is more hidden, so the symptoms may occur even several days after eating the harmful food. It is said that some people can intuitively know what is not beneficial for them. Really extraordinarily sensitive to these body signals are children.
Food allergies and intolerances belong to the main causes of the syndrome of increased intestinal permeability where bacteria, toxins and food particles penetrate the bloodstream through some "holes" in the damaged intestinal mucosa. The body defends itself against the production of antibodies that unfortunately not only attack these intruders but also healthy tissues. And the more often we eat the "harmful" food, the more the immune reaction increases and can result in digestive disorders, dermatological, respiratory and joint problems as well as mental illnesses. According to statistics, every third person suffers from increased bowel permeation syndrome!
So much for the theory and now back to my visit to the A2C clinic where I arrived in the morning, because the test of food intolerance is detected from the blood. The second visit was more important to me. That week, I was looking forward to the test results more than a child to Christmas presents. I was only afraid that they'd find in me some brutal intolerance, for instance an intolerance to chocolate. Although this would explain many things...
From Monika Golková, the senior consultant of the clinic, I received something like a detailed food traffic light:
To "repair" my intestine, I buy L-glutamine and polyunsaturated fatty acid supplements right at the clinic. But not just any, but top quality ones that I shall of course pay extra for. To "repair" my intestine, I buy L-glutamine and polyunsaturated fatty acid supplements right at the clinic. But it was sufficient to eat just a few cookies and the "baby" was back.
I admit that if I will have more serious problems, such as asthma or eczema, I will probably try harder. By which I admit that I lounge about quite a lot. Do you know the saying about that strongly-developed weak will? Not that I am not able to control myself, I am able to do it. But somehow I am not able to follow my own order.
The colon is said to be home to up to 80% of our immune system. And food intolerance violates it sneakingly and can lead to chronic problems. If the test forbids you to eat a favorite food, don't despair - it is not forever. When the intestine heals, it probably moves into a less dangerous category and you can then put this food into your diet once again. Therefore, it is recommended to repeat the food intolerance test after two years.
Samples are sent to a specialized laboratory abroad. The price ranges from 8-26 thousand crowns and depends on the number of food products tested. The highest number of items tested is 300 and includes besides all foods also chemicals, medicaments, moulds and pharmacological substances.
The rotating diet contains foods that were green and yellow in the ALCAT test. Within a few days, you will experience an alleviation of digestive difficulties, a visible improvement of the complexion, weight loss, and an overall improvement in health within weeks or months.
The worst time is the first month before the clients get used to the diet change. You have to replace the forbidden foods by the recommended ones and learn to buy them. But once you're redirected, you'll begin to feel better, and keeping a rotating diet will seem much easier for you.

A single digital ID on your smartphone will help streamline access to public services, Sir Tony Blair has said.
The former prime minister’s Institute for Global Change has today released a report calling for wholesale reform to ‘end the era of slow and cumbersome government services’.
‘The ID is a simple identifier on your phone, accessed using biometrics,’ said Sir Tony, speaking to Metro.co.uk. ‘It’s unique to you, and enables you to interact with the government system through one portal.
‘It allows you to get all the data you need about yourself in one place.’
Those without a smartphone will be able to use a physical card alternative, but Mr Blair adds: ‘The vast majority of people will use it through a phone, and that’s the best way to do it.’
Examples of how the system would function include a digital driving licence, access to medical history in one place, personalised assistance for accessing public services including benefits, and a single record of education.
The report, titled ‘The Great Enabler: Transforming the Future of Britain’s
Public Services Through Digital Identity’, follows calls in February by Sir Tony and former Conservative leader William Hague for the introduction of a national digital ID.
‘I think the challenge for Britain today is we’re taxing people more heavily than ever before in recent history and spending more with poor outcomes,’ said Sir Tony. ‘I don’t see a way around that other than hugely streamlining and making more efficient the processes that are adding to the cost.
‘There are so many ways today you can use data to make processes more efficient – and that’s happening in every part of the private sector. Think about how we shop nowadays, what we watch, how we live – and government and the public sector are lagging far behind.’
Only a handful of other governments worldwide have begun issuing digital ID cards, including Vietnam, Brazil and China. However, a working group of eight nations has drafted a set of principles for ‘mutually recognised’ digital ID systems – Australia, Canada, Finland, Israel, New Zealand, Singapore, the Netherlands and the UK.
Government access to personal data is one issue often shared by opponents of the scheme – and the ability for authorities to track a person’s whereabouts.
Speaking after Sir Tonyand Lord Hague’s first report, Big Brother Watch director Silkie Carlo said: ‘Sir Tony and Lord Hague are absolutely right about the need for the UK to take leadership in technological innovation, but this means protecting people’s rights and privacy, not reviving failed proposals for an intrusive mass digital identity system and a database state.’
‘There will be a lot of people talking about privacy, but there are all sorts of ways you can deal with that,’ said Sir Tony. ‘And in today’s world you have the ability to accumulate data, put it in the cloud and analyse it using AI that will allow us to advance it hugely.
‘For example, you could be given information about a condition you have without having to go into hospitals the whole time.’
Sir Tony is proposing the digital IDs be issued by a single government body, rather than outsourced. Considering the potential for issues or bugs within the system, as occurred at the Post Office and led to 736 people being prosecuted for crimes they didn’t commit, he admitted it would not be without problems.
‘That’s a good example of where the system wasn’t operating effectively,’ said Sir Tony. ‘But today the systems are much better. There will be mistakes and problems as you go along, but the question is whether cumulatively it will make a difference for good or not, and I think it will.’
The paper also suggests a digital ID system will help tackle the issue of migrants and refugees entering the country illegally on small boats.
As part of its recommendations, the paper states that a digital ID system would deter people from attempting the dangerous Channel crossing by making it harder for them to access services and ‘disappear into the black economy, renting and working illegally’.
‘I’m sympathetic to the people in government trying to stop it,’ said Sir Tony. ‘But the problem with the UK immigration system is that people come in for all sorts of reasons and then just stay here, and it’s not easy to know who they are, or what they’re doing.
‘There’s no answer to the immigration issue that worries people without a clear method of identification of who has a right to be here and who does not.
‘It’s not going to [entirely] stop situations where people slip through the net and find ways around the system, but I think it will give us a much better lock on what is happening.’
The introduction of national ID cards was first put forward by Sir Tony while prime minister, but the proposals were dropped by the coalition government in 2010.
He acknowledged at present there is little political appetite for such a scheme.
‘This is a big, big change and at the moment, neither main political party is in favor of it,’ he said. ‘But I hope, at least for the Labour Party, we change our position.’

BBK 2 - Watching Video: Solar System 101
Our solar system is one of hundreds in the Milky Way Galaxy
The solar system was formed around 4.5 billion years ago, when a cloud of interstellar gas and dust collapsed, resulting in a solar nebula, a swirling disc of material that collided to form the solar system.
The solar system is located in the Milky Way's Orion star cluster.
Only 15% of stars in the galaxy host planetary systems, and one of those stars is our own sun.
There are 8 planets that revolve around our sun, Which are divided into two categories:
The Jovian planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune
The gas giants are predominantly made of helium and hydrogen, and the ice giants also contain rock, ice, and a liquid mixture of water, methane, and ammonia.
All four Jovian planets have multiple moons, sport ring systems, have no solid surface, and are immense.
Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system.
Neptune is the coldest planet in the solar system
The icy Kuiper Belt and Pluto orbits the Jovian planets
The terrestrial planets are Mercury, Venus and Earth.
They are primarily made of rock, their surfaces are solid, they don't have ring systems, they have very few or no moons, and they are relatively small.
The smallest and closest to the sun is Mercury, with an orbit as long as three Earth months.
Venus is the hottest planet, with temperatures of up to 867 degrees Fahrenheit.
Earth is the only current known planet in the Universe that is suitable for life, but Mars might have also supported life about 3.7 billion years ago
The asteroid belts and Ceres orbits the Terestial plantes
The Oort Cloud is a vast, spherical collection of icy debris, and is considered the edge of the solar system

It’s early August and the Fillmore is naked. Only two of the nightclub’s four chandeliers are hanging, and the murals celebrating its namesake’s hippie heritage have yet to be painted on the blank orange walls. That doesn’t matter to Bruce Lee, president of Lee Development Group, who is beaming on the concrete stage. Lee has spent nearly a decade trying to bring a music hall near the intersection of Colesville Road and Georgia Avenue in Silver Spring—and what he calls the “Mercedes of music” is almost here.
When Mary J. Blige takes this same stage on Thursday night as the Fillmore Silver Spring’s opening act, Lee’s quest will be complete. “This project took two governors, two county executives, three economic development people, and two county councils to complete,” he says during a hard-hat tour of the space. The opening also required a one-of-a-kind, no-bid deal with Montgomery County and Live Nation Entertainment, the world’s largest concert promoter and parent company of Ticketmaster.
The Fillmore, which holds up to 2,000 people, has the potential to reshape the D.C.-area music scene. It could draw fans away from long-dominant venues like 9:30 Club and Black Cat, shifting dollars and buzz to the suburbs. Unlike other industries, more competition in the live music world can actually drive prices up as clubs throw money at the limited number of bands who can fill large rooms. The new entrant could cause a domino effect: Smaller clubs lose some of their acts to bigger stages, and a $15 show could easily become $20 with prices rising across the board.
And unlike most venues, the Fillmore has the support of a public company with deep pockets. Last year, Live Nation generated more than $5 billion in revenue. In the first half of 2011, the Beverly Hills, Calif.-based live events business grew its share of tickets sold for the top 100 concert tours from 41 percent to 48 percent. If the Fillmore succeeds—and that’s a huge if—Live Nation will have pulled off something that it and its corporate predecessors have never done: successfully running a nightclub in the D.C. market. Fortunately for Live Nation, it got a lot of help from Montgomery County.
Downtown Silver Spring’s revival wasn’t enough to activate the north side of Colesville Road. Montgomery County wanted that to change. In 2002, then-County Executive Douglas Duncan approached the Birchmere about opening another location in the old J.C. Penney building, owned by Lee Development. The Alexandria, Va., cabaret-style hall, which seats 500, has hosted major blues, folk, and jazz acts since 1966. The owners seemed like a good fit to operate a suburban venue. Duncan wanted the Birchmere to run an 800-seat music hall in Silver Spring for a sweet deal: The state of Maryland and the county would each contribute $4 million to the project. Lee Development would donate the land in exchange for the county’s approval to develop the surrounding site. All the Birchmere had to do was invest $1 million.
But the Birchmere negotiations dragged on, and power changed hands. Isiah “Ike” Leggett was elected county executive in 2006, and the county’s talks with the Birchmere broke down in the summer of 2007. Lee says Leggett wanted a bigger venue than Duncan’s Birchmere proposal. Montgomery County officials also wanted to seek another company to operate the venue because years of talks hadn’t led to any progress, says Diane Schwartz Jones, the county’s assistant chief administrative officer. The Birchmere owners want to put the whole thing behind them, and declined to discuss exactly why the deal fell through. “The Birchmere wishes Live Nation the best of luck,” says Jim Matthews, a Birchmere partner.
With the Birchmere gone, Lee pressed ahead. When he heard that attempts to bring a House of Blues in downtown D.C. in 2006 had failed, he contacted Live Nation to see if they were interested in a Silver Spring project. “They were like, ‘Where’s Silver Spring?’” he says. But Live Nation executives visited the site, and they liked its Metro accessibility, ample parking, and proximity to D.C.
Meanwhile, Seth Hurwitz, co-owner of 9:30 Club, decided his promotion company, It’s My Party Inc., could run the proposed venue. He says he didn’t express interest sooner than 2007 because he felt the Birchmere would be well-suited for the project. Now that they were out of the picture, a letter outlining Hurwitz’s intentions was hand-delivered to Leggett on Sept. 24, 2007. But Hurwitz was too late. The county and Live Nation signed a non-binding letter of intent for the site on Sept. 18 of that year. The deal was similar to the one offered to the Birchmere, but Live Nation was not required to invest money in the construction of the nightclub.


Head, Rocket, Grapnel, Wadsworth Mount
This is a grapnel rocket head developed at the end of World War II by the inventor Wadsworth W. Mount (1907-1985). This grapnel was one of a series of especially adapted heads to be used with standard U.S. Navy 1.25-in (3.175 cm) or other caliber rockets for throwing lines. The grapnel rocket could throw life lines for rescue work at sea or from ship to shore, for climbing cliffs, and for breaching beach defenses. During tests, the rockets were able to successfully throw out lines more than 1,000 ft (305 m). However, Mount's rockets were not adopted by the military.
Mount donated the rocket head to the Smithsonian in 1977 as part of a full kit.

As a young girl, Marilyn Augur was greatly influenced by her grandfather, Clyde Palmer, who set up a foundation benefiting education, specifically, in the area of reading phonetically. Having attended school only through the 8th grade, his interest was in reading. He commissioned Ullin Leavell of the University of Virginia to write reading books for grades 1-12. They were called the Golden Rule Readers. “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.” This was also the motto or, as we would say today, the vision statement for his foundation and indeed for his life. His foundation helped individuals become literate and in his lifetime he was able to see the impact his foundation had on those in Texarkana, Texas and beyond.
When Marilyn’s Grandfather died, her Grandmother chose to pay out the remaining corpus of the foundation. A lump sum grant of $50,000 was given to Texarkana College toward the construction of a new library, named The Palmer Memorial Library. Today the library is shared by both Texarkana College and East Texas State College. Both of these events, the beginning and the end of the foundation, impacted Marilyn’s life. She had seen the benefit the foundation brought to her grandparents’ community and to her grandfather. Marilyn hoped that one day she might have the opportunity to help individuals in her community. This hope for the foundation was further molded as she taught Bible Study with a close friend and fellow Trustee, Elizabeth Turner, at St. Michael’s and All Angels Episcopal Church in Dallas. She and Litty envisioned being able to help those who are truly needy.
In October of 1991, Marilyn began the process of setting up The Marilyn Augur Family Foundation, which was fully funded in October of 1995. Oldest daughter Margaret Hancock, friend and lawyer P. Mike McCullough, and Litty aided her in this process. These four persons made up the first Board of Trustees and they formulated the mission statement for the Foundation. Today the Marilyn Augur Family Foundation funds nonprofits which provide services for those who are economically, physically, emotionally and/or spiritually needy as it seeks to accomplish the mission stated in Matthew 25:35-40.
In late 1999 Margaret Hancock resigned as Executive Director and was succeeded by Nancy Roberts who served as Executive Director until 2008. Both Margaret and Nancy Beth continue to serve as Trustees.
In June of 2008, Tracey Frattaroli became the Foundation’s third Executive Director. Prior to joining the Foundation, Tracey was an active community volunteer and a leader in Bible Study Fellowship. She shares the commitment of Marilyn and the Trustees to support projects that solve the root cause of social problems, breaking the cycle of poverty and restoring dignity to the lives of individuals.


Yesterday I bought a W500 4062-2XG to replace my Z61t and sit on the advanced dock throne.
I am very happy because not only it had top specs but it was also in a superb condition! I am very, very happy!
I have a few questions and I would be thankful if you could help me.
1) Integrated camera:
My model doesn't have one. Wiki says that
What does this mean?The W-series, being a relatively young line, has only models ready for cameras.
Can I upgrade my machine by buying the camera module and the appropriate bezel?
Do I need to buy anything else?
The microphone is included in the camera module, right?
Are there any LED kits for the screen?
I know that there is a led control unit from the smaller resolution monitor, would it be possible to exchange that with the inverter and put leds on my WUXG+?
Will it work properly and have the correct brightness levels etc?
I suppose adding a quad core is not a possibility, right?
I have already looked for drivers issues on windows 10 and found this

rejected just as in the beginning of the . Price is
behaving as it wants to continue down and has closed below

ECB takes strong line on discipline
- Three bodies working together to improve discipline in recreational cricket.
- Cricket Discipline Commission changes the burden of proof to mirror civil law.
- Giles Clarke: “ECB will take a strong line in maintaining discipline.”
- Keith Bradshaw: “MCC believes that the responsibility for upholding the Spirit of Cricket must lie with the captains.”
MCC, ECB and PCA have agreed to work together with other stakeholders to improve discipline in cricket.
The ECB’s Cricket Discipline Commission, chaired by Gerard Elias QC, set up a working party to examine the disciplinary and appeals process in the recreational game.
This resulted in a change in the standard of proof in all cricket disciplinary hearings, so that it mirrored civil rather than criminal law – i.e. on the balance of probabilities rather than beyond reasonable doubt, thereby allowing cases to be heard and decisions made more swiftly.
In addition, a system akin to football, where red and yellow cards are issued to badly behaved players, has been considered but dismissed by both organisations.
The two bodies agreed that the Laws of Cricket are in place for all games of cricket, often between teams who provide their own umpires, sometimes chosen from amongst the batting team and that in these cases it would not be possible to introduce red and yellow cards for the use of umpires.
Furthermore, even in more regulated cricket up to and including first-class level, both organisations felt that the use of yellow cards undermines the role of the captain and his responsibilities under One Game and the Spirit of Cricket.
Giles Clarke, chairman of the ECB, said: “It is important for the ECB to take a strong line in maintaining or restoring discipline through the education of coaches, umpires and captains, imposing sanctions where necessary and taking a consistent, firm stance to ensure that standards in cricket are high.
“The ECB’s One Game campaign ensures all those involved in cricket uphold the shared values of respect, pride and passion to ensure that we are united in protecting the fabric of our sport.”
Keith Bradshaw, secretary and chief executive of MCC, added: “Cricket needs to be acknowledged as a fully inclusive sport which insists upon and instils the highest standards of behaviour in players.
“MCC inserted the Spirit of Cricket as the preamble to the Laws of Cricket in 2000 and has worked in promoting the concept ever since, through its own playing programme, overseas tours, the annual Cowdrey Lecture and various initiatives aimed at schoolchildren.
“MCC firmly believes that the responsibility for upholding the Spirit of Cricket must lie with the captains.”
Sean Morris, chief executive of the PCA, added it is important for all parts of the game to be aligned and recognise that we all have a responsibility to promote the game in the best possible way.
Roger Knight, chairman of the ECB Association of Cricket Officials and a former MCC secretary and chief executive, said: “In 2000, MCC decided that red and yellow cards were not the answer to ill-discipline and did not introduce them into the new edition of the Laws.
“Those Laws were agreed by the MCC Cricket Committee, MCC members and the International Cricket Council, who were consulted throughout the two years of redrafting.
“It is hard to see what has changed in the last eight years to reverse that decision. Any statement or decision which alters that position changes the whole relationship between captains, players and umpires.”
Looking ahead, the plan for the future improvement of behavioural standards is to influence young players through their coaches.
Mike Gatting, head of cricket partnerships at the ECB, pointed out how this would be done: “ECB will be using the Sky Sports Coach Education Programme which provides best practice and advice to 13,000 coaches in England and Wales to ensure that the correct standards are instilled into the cricketers of the future.
“Furthermore, published fair play leagues within Premier Leagues will highlight the importance of good behaviour. Disciplinary committees will be encouraged to continue to support officials who report abuse.”

New EU Commission at risk of being delayed as UK won’t name new candidate
With election campaigning in full swing for its December 12 election, Britain has informed its European Union partners that it will not name a new commissioner to the EU’s executive arm despite an obligation to do so.
Britain’s envoy to Brussels, Tim Barrow, sent a letter to EU headquarters informing them of London’s decision, AP reports. “We have written to the EU to confirm that pre-election guidance states the UK should not normally make nominations for international appointments during this period,” Barrow’s office said on Thursday.
London routinely affirms that it wants to respect EU rules and not impede the functioning of the bloc as long as it’s a member. The commission has twice written to British PM Boris Johnson demanding that someone be named. Johnson had previously vowed not to do so.
Britain’s decision not to name a candidate for the commission could again delay the forming of incoming commission president Ursula von der Leyen’s team.


In today’s digital age, the internet plays a major role in young people’s lives, influencing how they further grow and develop into fully-fledged adults venturing out into the real world: From educational resources to social connections, discovering the latest viral dance trends, or watching how-to videos on how to cook pasta, the online world offers endless possibilities and resources.
Gone are the days of being bored when you have a ticket to a world of entertainment in the palm of your hand. And, with around 20 zettabytes of data generated every year (one zettabyte is the equivalent of 100 billion gigabytes, and a gigabyte is around the amount of data in a feature film on TV), there’s no risk of ever running out of new things to explore.
Now, children and teenagers have access to more content than ever before. And don’t they know it – with the average teen’s screen time over a whopping 7 hours a day. However, while this ever-evolving digital landscape can support learning and connection, it also comes with its fair share of risks and challenges.
Cyberbullying, sexual predators, privacy invasions, malware, as well as phishing and other scams – all at least partly caused by ineffective or non-existent privacy and cybersecurity awareness and precautions – can detrimentally impact not only young people’s online safety, but their offline well-being too. In these crucial years of development and growth, parents, guardians, and teachers need to help children and teens navigate the online world safely, and with confidence.
What are the risks to look out for?
It seems like every day there’s a new social media platform to get to grips with, or a new app to play around on. With these new features come new risks, and we should all be vigilant in navigating the latest additions safely. What might seem like an innocent new messaging app may provide plenty of opportunity for scammers, hackers and other internet users to take advantage of well-meaning and unaware youngsters.
When bullying may have previously ended when the school bell rings, constant connectivity means younger people are now vulnerable to harassment, intimidation, and social exclusion wherever they go. With no space to feel safe, this can be extremely damaging to their self-esteem and mental health.
2. Misuse of shared information
Social media has gained popularity, with the number of Instagram users expected to hit over 1.4 billion in 2024 while TikTok, which is all the rage particularly among teens, is foreseen to reach 900 million users this year. But the risk of younger people encountering malicious users and/or sharing explicit material comes hand-in-hand. Whether it’s a stranger from the internet, or someone they know, once content is shared online, control is taken away from the sender and sensitive material can be misused.
Have a look at ESET UK’s Think Twice campaign to spread awareness of the risks of online intimacy
any websites and apps require the input of personal information to ‘sign up’ or ‘download’ content. If this personal information gets into the wrong hands, it can have negative consequences such as identity theft, financial exploitation, privacy invasion, and blackmail. Additionally, with the rise in phishing emails and fake websites, malicious actors have even more avenues to attack.
4. Explicit content exposure
Research shows that the average age a child is exposed to pornography is 13. This early exposure to graphic and sensitive content can create unrealistic expectations and unhealthy behaviors.
5. Internet addiction
Nomophobia – the fear of being without online connectivity – impacts a huge 90% of device owners! The dangers of nomophobia include lack of quality sleep, social isolation, and a reduced attention span – not what younger people need when trying to perform at school, and maintain a happy home life while staying mentally and physically healthy.
Younger people are shown to be more trusting of what they view online and may be more receptive to false or misleading information. This can potentially influence their beliefs and perspectives in a way that negatively impacts their relationships, values, and day-to-day lives.
It’s key to remember that it’s not all doom and gloom. The online space offers a world of opportunity, and parents and guardians just need the tools and confidence to chat openly with their children about their online experiences.
While it can be difficult to decide when to give children access to their own digital devices, studies show that the average age at which children get their first smartphone is 11 years old. At this age, youngsters are still discovering who they are and their place in the world, so it’s even more important for a parent or guardian to have open discussions about online safety. Here’s why:
1. Empower young people with knowledge
Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to navigating the complexities of the online world. It’s a great idea to make sure children are familiar with the apps and features available on these devices before they get hold of their own.
For example, when your children see you using your phone after dinner, maybe talk them through what you’re doing and why. Show them the different apps you have, what they do, and how you use them. If you’re open with them about what you’re doing, they’ll be more likely to be open with you about their own online habits.
Any age-sensitive apps on there you don’t want them to see? It’s worth remembering to pop them in a ‘hidden app’ folder or ‘secure folder’, which you can only enter with a password.
2. Support them in navigating digital pitfalls
The internet can be a minefield of inappropriate content, cyberbullying, scams, and identity theft – and it’s not always obvious about what’s safe and what’s not.
Engage in open conversations to educate your children about the potential risks and equip them with strategies for navigating them safely:
- Teach kids how to critically evaluate online information and make conscious decisions on whether it’s real or fake
- Show them how to recognize and report cyberbullying
- Go through the tools they can use to protect their personal information such as two-factor authentication and a password manager and, if needed, help them set those up properly
Chances are, younger children might be most interested in the games they can play on their devices. If that’s the case, you could show them some of the most popular ones and be clear on what’s safe and what’s a malicious pop-up that might accidentally end up charging you a small fortune (no, you don’t need to pay $60 for more coins on Forest Island).
3. Encourage healthy online habits
Just as we teach children the importance of healthy eating and exercising, it’s crucial to instill healthy online habits from a young age.
Before you go straight into letting your children have full freedom in the digital space, take an opportunity to establish boundaries around screen time, set guidelines for responsible social media use, and encourage digital detoxes to maintain a healthy balance between online and offline activities. By modeling healthy digital behavior yourself and discussing its importance, you can help your children develop lifelong habits that promote well-being in the digital age.
To help maintain these habits, parental control features available on devices and internet browsers enable you to filter content, monitor your child’s online activity, and set restrictions as needed.
4. Stay ahead of emerging risks
The digital landscape is constantly evolving, with new apps, trends, and online threats emerging regularly. Talk to children about the latest online fads and risks to keep them aware that not every app, web user, or social platform is exactly what it seems. Create a safe space for them to ask questions about their own online lives and make sure they feel heard. That way, they will feel reassured and encouraged to come to you if they’re upset by something they’ve come across online.
So, crack open the chocolate cupboard and pop the kettle on – make it a fun and interesting conversation where everyone can learn about what’s going on in each other’s lives online, encouraging safety online whilst strengthening your bond offline.

‘Twas Easter-Sunday. The full-blossomed trees filled all the air with fragrance and with joy.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes
Sleep… Oh! how I loathe those little slices of death.
Manlike it is to fall into sin, Fiend-like is it to dwell therein, Christlike it is for sin to grieve, Godlike it is all sin to leave.
The world loves a spice of wickedness.
In character, in manners, in style, in all things, the supreme excellence is simplicity.
Ships that pass in the night, and speak to each other in passing; Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life we pass and speak one another, Only a look and a voice; then darkness again and a silence.
All that is best in the great poets of all countries is not what is national in them, but what is universal.
As to the pure mind all things are pure, so to the poetic mind all things are poetical.
Next to being a great poet, is the power of understanding one.
Glorious indeed is the world of God around us, but more glorious the world of God within us. There lies the Land of a Song; there lies the poet’s native land.

Is anyone currently enrolled at Animation Mentor ?
It looks very intriguing. It's geared more for working adults and professionals. The staff is made up of entirely animation pros who work at ILM, Pixar, Disney, etc...
The only problem is, it's kind of pricey. Cheaper than the Art Institutes, and far more geared toward animation. I am interested in enrolling at Animation Mentor... just want to try to get feedback from someone who is actually a member.

The aim of this study was to compare sensitivity and validity of the emergency severity index (ESI) using 3 vital signs vs. the modified ESI (mESI) with 7 vital signs.
This prospective, observational study comprised all patients without trauma (>18 years old), presenting between 1 September 2014 and 1 October 2014 from 08:00–16:00 h, and having ESI triage scores levels 3, 4, and 5. Different from the ESI, 7 vital signs for patients in levels 3, 4, and 5 were determined. When the result revealed an abnormality in at least one of the 7 vital signs, these patients were designated as level 2 and the mESI triage was applied to them.
A total of 4536 patients were included in the study. Comparing the hospitalized patient group and the patients treated as outpatients according to the ESI and mESI levels, the ESI and the mESI level median values were 4 (3–4) and 3 (2–4), respectively, and those of patients treated on an outpatient basis were 4 (4–5) and 4 (3–5). A significant difference was observed between the two groups with regard to both the ESI and the mESI scores (p < 0.001). Furthermore, when the ESI and the mESI were compared with regard to the sensitivity and the reliability in determining the patients for hospitalization, a significant difference was determined favoring ESI [ROC curve: area under the curve mESI: 0.690, 95 % confidence interval (Cl) 0.666–0.713; ESI 0.753, 95 % Cl 0.733–0.774; p < 0.001].
The ESI, in which 3 vital signs are measured in order to distinguish only level 2 and 3 patients, is an adequate and reliable triage system.

In life as in death, it was all about the coffee for Renato Bialetti.
When the 93-year-old Italian entrepreneur who brought the stove-top Moka coffee maker to the masses died on Feb. 11, his family decided there was only one way for him to be buried. They placed his ashes inside one of his iconic, octagonal aluminum pots.
Bialetti’s remains were blessed by a priest in his hometown of Casale Corte Cerro, 60 miles northwest of Milan, on Tuesday before being interred in the family tomb in nearby Omega.
Bialetti’s father Alfonso acquired the patent for the coffee maker in 1933. According to The Local, Alfonso struggled to sell the gadget and made just 70,000 units before his son Renato took over the company in 1947.
The younger Bialetti launched an ambitious marketing campaign, imprinting a caricature of himself on the side of the pot, and went on to sell more than 330 million units worldwide. They range from single-cup makers to pots that can brew up to 24 servings.
The Bialetti family sold the business to another Italian company in 1986, and the percolators are now produced in Romania, reports The Telegraph.
The interment method may seem unusual, but it's not the most bizarre way someone's ashes have been buried.
Here's what other people have done with their loved ones' ashes:

Published in the London Sunday Times, a special report focuses on the steady stream of rules and regulations that have emerged since the financial crisis, requiring banks, insurers and investment institutions to keep on top of compliance or risk heavy fines.

ED&F Man Capital Markets replaces legacy systems with TS Imagine’s fully-hosted, SaaS solution for high-volume, real-time analytics on cross-asset exchange and OTC trading.
When analysing performance, measuring a portfolio’s actual return answers the “what” and “when” questions –– it tells us what return the portfolio delivered over a specified period of time. While that information is obviously important, the goal of a performance attribution analysis is to go beyond “what” and “when” to explain “how” and “why”.
Managing the risks inherent in their positions, including holding sufficient margin, is absolutely essential for prime brokers. The key question is whether or not they are measuring risks and managing margin effectively and proactively.

The NBA is full of talent, personality and suspense. During the offseason, It’s easy to forget how wonderful the league can be. So, I’ve assembled 67 Reasons I’m Excited For Next Season (67RIEFNS). They’ll be presented in no particular order.
I would have drafted Nerlens Noel No. 1 in 2013.
Yes, his injury worried me, but not because he might not contribute for a full year. The Cavaliers, who had the top pick, didn’t make the playoffs anyway. What did they gain by allowing Noel to fall (all the way to No. 6, where New Orleans picked him and traded him to the 76ers).
I wasn’t even worried about Noel falling behind. The list of players picked so high since the NBA-ABA merge whose debuts were delayed an entire season, though far from perfect, is pretty impressive:
- Jonas Valanciunas
- Ricky Rubio
- Blake Griffin
- Greg Oden
- Danny Ferry
- David Robinson
- Larry Bird
The only real concern was the injury robbing him permanently of even a little athleticism, a skill necessary for his game. [Interjection: As high as I was on Noel just a year ago, I had to spend time now reviewing his game to write this. I seriously forgot so much about how he played. That’s what a year off will do. It’s also why I’m so excited to see him in action].
Noel was/is a phenomenal leaper, which allowed him to block a ton of shots and finish at the rim. Add agility to guard the pick-and-roll and quick hands to get steals, and Noel has ridiculous defensive potential. His offensive game is raw, but as long as he sticks to doing what he does well – working in the paint – he should be fine. If the tanking 76ers want to let him spread his wings while they’re interested in losing, that’s fine, too.
For Noel to succeed long-term, he must show his athleticism has remained in tact. That’s the big question he can answer this season.
In time, he’ll have to refine his game, but there’s no rush in Philadelphia. As long as Noel’s athleticism — i.e., his upside — hasn’t escaped him, the 76ers can afford to be patient.
The key is getting Noel on the court so he can test his athleticism — and show off that hair.
