The final tally was 53-47 in favour of the sale, which is just part of a massive $100 billion arms package.
Among the sponsors of the resolution put forth to block the sale was Democratic Senator Chris Murphy, who argued that despite the opposition's defeat, the effort nonetheless sent a "strong message" to Saudi Arabia.
"A bipartisan coalition of Senators just sent a major message to the Saudis," Murphy said in a statement. "Today's vote total would’ve been unthinkable not long ago, but Congress is finally taking notice that Saudi Arabia is using US munitions to deliberately hit civilian targets inside Yemen."
Human rights groups echoed this sentiment while arguing that to continue to arm a persistent violator of human rights and funder of extremism is to be complicit in both.
Jodie Evans, co-founder of the anti-war group CODEPINK, said of the deal: "Voting for the weapons sale, these Senators showed that they value the war profiteers more than lives of Yemenis and more than US national security."
If lawmakers really cared about national security, she asked, "would they vote to arm the regime most responsible for the spread of the Wahhabist ideology that forms the underpinnings of terrorist groups from Al Qaeda to ISIS? Would they vote to arm the regime that has funded and supported these terrorist groups?"
Yemenis, the victims of US-backed Saudi aggression, feel "abandoned and betrayed" by the continued arms flow, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Ali Mohammed Murshed, a 32-year-old delivery man from Sana'a, spoke to the Times and exemplified how repeated arms deals in the face of Yemeni suffering only fuels anti-US sentiment in the country.
"There is nothing in this world that I hate more than Americans," Murshed said.
"With all the arms they have given to Saudi Arabia, the Saudis have achieved nothing after more than two years but killing civilians and destroying infrastructure," he concluded.

The home-stretch runs of presidential campaigns reliably feature a distinctive tone and tempo: The pace quickens, the crowds build, and the adrenaline surges, as the candidates frantically crisscross the country, wired and sleepless and fueled by the sense (justified or not) that the wind is at their backs. But the final week of this year’s election was not like that at all. Instead it was a week when nature intruded with a historically horrible storm, injecting a dose of heavy reality into a campaign that, all too often and maddeningly, has been utterly divorced from it.
For much of 2012, Barack Obama’s team fretted over nothing more than the possibility of an exogenous event that would fundamentally alter the presidential race, laying waste to their minutely calibrated victory plan. But instead, when that bitch Sandy huffed and puffed, it was Mitt Romney’s house that took the hit. It wasn’t just that the hurricane allowed Obama both to be and appear to be manifestly presidential. Or that the devastation the storm wrought highlighted the importance of infrastructure and the vital role of government in times of crisis. The problem for Romney was more basic and brutish: Through no fault of his own, he found himself rendered irrelevant, a man without a role to play. At the first presidential debate, it was Obama who imitated Clint Eastwood’s empty chair; in the wake of Sandy, it was Romney who had the part thrust upon him, along with the worst fate imaginable for a presidential challenger: a weeklong news blackout.
Should Romney fall short on November 6, you can bet the mortgage money that more than a few Republicans will put the blame on Sandy, arguing that the GOP nominee’s supposed surge of momentum was one of the storm’s casualties. There will be something to this, to be sure, but much less than meets the eye. The truth is that if Romney loses, he will have only himself to blame—and the same is true, in the opposite scenario, for President Obama. Neither man ran a campaign worthy of himself, of the country, or of the scale of the challenges the country faces. And both made strategic and tactical errors that, whichever of them bites the dust, history will judge as having done him in.
When it comes to Romney, maybe the pivotal mistake was made nearly four years ago—but the extent to which it haunts him was vividly on display in the campaign’s closing days. At a rally in Ohio on October 25, the Republican suggested that Chrysler was considering shuttering Jeep production in the state and moving it to China. This was false, and the company said so. But that had no effect on Boston, which proceeded to release TV and radio ads insinuating the same, claiming Obama had “sold Chrysler to the Italians, who are going to build Jeeps in China,” and tarring GM similarly. This called forth even harsher repudiations from both auto firms, which pointed out that they are adding U.S. jobs, not subtracting them. “We’ve clearly entered some parallel universe during these last few days,” GM spokesman Greg Martin said, labeling Romney’s gambit as “campaign politics at its cynical worst.”
Cynical, yes. Also desperate. But easy enough to understand. With the result of the election turning to a large degree on the outcome in Ohio, Team Romney has long struggled to counteract the popularity there of Obama’s bailout of the auto industry, which directly touches 82 of the state’s 88 counties—a bailout that Romney not only opposed but opposed loudly, vehemently, and most famously in a 2008 New York Times op-ed piece that bore the headline “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt.” What exactly Romney was thinking when he wrote that article is unclear. But, if he loses Ohio and the election, doing so may have been the most fateful decision of the campaign, and one that he made long before he was even an announced candidate.
And this is just one of many past positions that have been flesh-piercing thorns in Romney’s side. Of more recent vintage were a series of stances he adopted during his fight for his party’s nomination, all of which cost him dearly with key constituencies. The hard-right line on immigration he took to fend off Rick Perry: anathema to many Hispanics. The ultraconnish posture on Planned Parenthood and contraceptives that he took to thwart Rick Santorum: poison among suburban women. The denialist shadings of his previous statements on climate change, issued to placate the flat-Earth crowd: insanity to young voters. And so on, and so on.
The alienation of these voting blocs, which constitute the ascendant elements of the American electoral landscape, goes a long way to explaining how Romney could be running dead even with Obama nationally but still stubbornly if narrowly behind in many of the battleground states. Were it not for the president’s daunting 40-to-50-point lead with Latinos, for instance, Romney would surely be ahead in Colorado, Nevada, Florida, Virginia, and maybe even New Mexico.

Fleetwood Mac Performed A New Song Last Weekend
Over the weekend, a reunited Fleetwood Mac (or, rather, the latest incarnation of Fleetwood Mac featuring Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie) played a show at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. At said show, Lindsey Buckingham announced that the band had recorded some music in the studio and would be dropping a new EP "in a few days," and that it was some of "the best stuff we’ve done in a long time." The band then launched into new track "Sad Angel," which has an infectious chorus and a driving backbeat and does sound comfortably Fleetwood Mac-ish, if that’s a big concern of yours.
Watch the show footage of "Sad Angel" below and keep your ears to the ground for the new material, we guess. Will it be their best stuff in a long time? We’ll see, but for right now, hey, new Fleetwood Mac! And old Fleetwood Mac, I guess, if you’re going to the reunion tour.

Suggestion: More Tactics Control
The following is just a suggestion that in my opinion would make the game better and more realistic and enjoyable. The game must have more elaborate tactics control. For example, instead of only specifying tactical behavior of the defensive, midfield and attacking line, it would be better if we can also specify the behavior of individual players on the field. This will allow for more tactical control for the manager and it would give a chance to apply more advanced and complicated tactics.
watch your neme ?
Simplicity is the name of this game...that's why we love it so much...but any new suggestions are more that welcome...who knows maybe we see some of them live on the next updates...

What are air filtration solutions? Air filtration solutions are methods used to ensure your air filters are still operating at the highest level in maintaining air quality. This applies further in industries that work with complex machinery pieces, but the filtration solution differs for each industry.
Air filtration solutions are a necessary part of every industry as it ensures cost savings and alerts industry managers of any system errors that may result in long-term damages. At AAF Asia, we offer four different air filtration solutions, which are Real-Time Monitoring, Filter Testing Services, System Cost Optimization, and Air Filtration Audit.
Real-time monitoring involves using an innovative, cloud-based IoT platform, Sensor 360®, which allows you to understand and plan their air filter performance. Its patented technology demonstrates the effectiveness of a building’s filtration by monitoring its particulate filtration levels.
It also monitors pressure to determine the filter media change-out point, which offers the best value and energy efficiency. When the IAQ levels are unacceptable, a sensor will send an alert via an app to resolve the issues.
This solution ensures sensitive equipment and quality control measures are met. In any instance, we will also provide the most efficient and cost-effective systems for the application. We provide HEPA & ULPA filter testing as these filters are used widely in heavy industries and can’t face any risk of any contaminants.
Making EN1822 the basis of our test protocols, we use the recommended practices of high-efficiency air filters (EPA, HEPA, and ULPA). Our test types include:
- Efficiency test
- Leak scan testing
- Automatic scanning method
- Pressure Drop Measurement
- Filtration Media Test
Next in our air filtration solution is system cost optimization, specifically for HVAC systems. Their performance is also affected with improper maintenance, costing you time and money. Proper filter maintenance is required to keep HVAC systems operating effectively.
At AAF Asia, we provide a solution by optimizing preventative maintenance schedules and the total cost of ownership. TCO Diagnostic® is an HVAC filtration system analysis program that helps reduce deferred maintenance backlogs and decrease reactive time by analyzing each facility’s HVAC data. It provides a complete optimization to determine the filtration needs your facility requires.
We first need to be aware that improper air filtration will only lead to higher energy costs. By conducting an air filtration audit, we will be able to understand your current filtration state and propose methods on how your HVAC systems can perform optimally.
With an air filtration audit, you can also obtain professional guidance to reduce your energy spending, decrease your risk and save your time. Besides that, obtain a report to guide you on how your HVAC systems can perform better.
So, with these filtration solutions, your air filtration systems can perform at their best without the risk of neglect and other contaminants. Contact AAF Asia to conduct your air filtration solutions today!

The reviews are in for the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and it's a hit, it's a hit, it's a palpable hit! Following in the footsteps of Billy Elliot, The Bodyguard and Once, Jerry Mitchell and co have successfully transitioned a piece from the screen to the stage: no easy feat, but a winning formula if you can pull it off. So the big question now is, what's up next? We've got some ideas.
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
Mark this day, for Operation Get Bill Murray To The West End starts here. Wes Anderson's Moby Dick-esque tale of one man's quarrel with a Jaguar shark has a banging soundtrack, so there's the first step taken care of. Who wouldn't want to see a stage show featuring David Bowie songs sung in Portuguese, underwater scenes (I'll get on the blower to The Little Mermaid, they'll have some tips) and BILL MURRAY? Coz we do need him - it's Wes Anderson after all. It's the rules.
Buckle up, we're going meta. The Spike Jonze-directed 2002 film is a
semi-autobiographical work following writer Charlie Kauffman's struggle to adapt
Susan Orlean's book The Orchid Thief into a screenplay. What say we put a whole
new layer in there and have him go through writer's block all over again trying
to translate it for the stage? It's a bit The
Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, a bit [title of show], and I can't wait to see how he deals with that alligator.
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Bored of panto? How about a Christmas show with a twist? Tim Burton's 1993 stop
motion fantasy has a huge fanbase, and since it cleverly covers both Halloween
and Christmas it could run from October till the end of the festive season. Hey
shelf life! It's funny and charming, the songs are great, and it's packed with
interesting visuals. Sam Mendes, fresh from his Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
success, would be at the top of directorial shortlist for this one.
Searching For Sugar Man
Another stellar soundtrack that deserves a stage. Malik Bendjelloul's BAFTA-winning documentary concerns the life of American musician Rodriguez, his popularity in South Africa and the rumours around his death. The narrative, driven by two fans and their quest for the truth, would work well on stage and you'd only need a small cast and a bit of multi-rolling to cover their whole journey. Now listen to I Wonder and donate to the Kickstarter page, coming soon to a Facebook news feed near you.
This idea has been kicking about for years and yet somehow, it hasn't come to pass. Come on theatre gods, just think of the amazing costumes! Hair, wigs, make-up! Not to mention all the fun you'd have with flying. And the I Put a Spell On You number. If Wicked has taught us anything it's that folks just love a musical about witches, so let's have another one.
Have we missed a classic? Let us know!

Women who live rurally are more likely to experience domestic violence, says Rural Women New Zealand, but the true number may be even higher.
RWNZ national president Fiona Gower told The Country's Jamie Mackay she believed not all cases were reported.
"Living rurally often you don't want to talk about these sort of things because you know all your neighbours and you don't want that getting out."
She said isolation, poor connectivity, the pressure of farming life and a reluctance to speak out had resulted in the worrying family violence statistics for rural women.
AdvertisementAdvertise with NZME.
Statistics show that 39 per cent of rural women will experience domestic violence, compared to 33 per cent of urban women.
Gower said RWNZ wanted to make sure that were well protected and they were able to contact the services they "desperately" required.
"Because they live remotely ... they don't have access to the services, the likes of Victim Support or the Women's Refuges ... even just getting counselling ... or calling the police can be really difficult."
RWNZ also wanted to ensure that victims' privacy was protected said Gower.
"If information sharing goes on, they have to be certain that they are comfortable with that happening, without anybody learning about the information that shouldn't know."

As 2007 nears a close, it’s clear that this has been a record-breaking year for investments in the booming clean technology sector.
During the first three quarters of 2007, venture capitalists invested $2.6 billion in companies that help the environment in some way. That’s 48 percent more than the comparable period last year. In fact, its more than the entire level of investments in 2006, when investors pumped $1.8 billion into these companies Solar energy, in particular, is drawing interest this year.
The data comes Thomson Financial and the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA).
While U.S. companies are still drawing the most investment, companies in other countries such as the Netherlands, Brazil and China were seeing some of the largest investment dollars.
The U.S. saw 149 investments worth $1.7 billion, representing an average deal size of $11.4 million. California companies received the majority of investments, with 68 deals worth $726.2 million, followed by Massachusetts and Texas.
The largest U.S. investment was the $115 million invested in Greatpoint Energy Inc., a Cambridge, Mass.-based company. Greatpoint operates production plants that convert coal and biomass into a product called bluegas, which aids in the power generation, industrial, heating and chemical sectors.
The top three U.S. venture capital firms in terms of number of deals are Khosla Ventures, which participated in 14 deals valued at $68.4 million; Draper Fisher Jurvetson, which invested in 14 deals valued at $38.5 million, and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, with 11 deals valued at $76.8 million. All of these firms are based in Silicon Valley, on Sand Hill Road in Menlo Park.
The three largest investments in 2007 were in overseas companies, including a $500 million investment by two undisclosed firms in Delta Hydrocarbon BV, a Netherlands-based company with a focus in oilfield-production enhancement; a $200 million investment in Brazil’s Brazilian Renewable Energy Co., and a $118 million investment in China’s Yingli Green Energy Holding Co., producer of vertically integrated photovoltaic solar products.
Solar, in particular, is hot. Investors financed 35 solar deals totaling $664.6 million. Other alternative energy (excluding wind, solar, geothermal, and co-generation) accounted for 33 deals worth $317.5 million, followed by power supplies industries with 25 deals totaling $183.9 million.
The growth in cleantech investments is driven by rising concern over global warming and climate change. There is not only an economic opportunity to provide an alternative source of energy, but a sense of duty to encourage growth of clean technologies — backed by increasing government subsidies to encourage investment.
NVCA President Mark Heesen expressed some caution, however:
"As has been demonstrated in the IT and life-science arenas, investing in new technologies can be fraught with pitfalls and is not for the inexperienced or the faint of heart. Prudent, long-term, knowledge-based investment in cutting-edge technologies has been the hallmark of venture capital in the past and should be the mantra in the cleantech space as well. Short-term ‘tourists’ should steer clear.”
New initiatives keep coming, including Google’s announcement of the RE<C initiative to invest in the sector. So it’s probable that cleantech investments will continue to rise in 2008.

Packs a real punch in such a small space! I've played many sessions, and this is the go-to quick game for my and my partner's 12yo. Each Job is like a mini session, which you can play through in 10-20 mins, depending on how much you elaborate. Perfect for playing in those awkward break times. Love it, and highly recommend!
A downloadable game
The Terran Hegemony rules the inner systems with an iron fist, and their cruisers patrol the charted star lanes.
Out in the Periphery, things are a little more... wild. On the countless worlds away from the galactic core, hard-working terraformers, shady crime lords and local bigshots carve out a living for themselves as best they can.
The gray economy of the Periphery depends on independent freighter pilots carrying cargo, smuggling contraband and doing various jobs to pay off their ships and keep flying. They are called: Free Traders!
Free Traders is an attempt to make a minimalist sci-fi RPG. It is a love letter to Wing Commander: Privateer, West End Games' Star Wars D6 in general and the Tramp Freighters sourcebook in particular, Firefly, Guardians of the Galaxy and doodling space ships in my notebooks in school.
Games that have inspired this design are Nathan Treme's Wander, Meguey and Vincent Baker's Apocalypse World and John Harper's games Blades in the Dark and Lasers & Feelings.

I would like everyone to know that the 12yo and I enjoyed our adventures so much that we're making a comic about them! 7 issues, each covering a Job we ran, plus trivia and a word search in the back!
Amazing job! It would be awesome to have a business-card official supplement to play it solo : )
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! That's a cool idea about making a solo play supplement, I'll let it roll around in my head for a bit. :-)
(unless you want to do it, in which case: go nuts!) :-D
There's no genre I love more than space trading. I like this verry much.
I am sucker for little sci-fi games like this! You made a true gem
This is an outstanding little business card game. Well done. Obviously it's hard to put a complete system on a business card (w/art!). I think the two biggest things you leave up to the gamer are a) how to work stress/damage to a character and b) what to do with ships and their tags. I would handle the former fictionally, and perhaps by taking away a die or two from rolls for major stress until it is healed/relieved. Ships I guess I would just treat like characters and consequences are relative. (Same is true for dealing with alien monsters.) All rolls player-facing, I'm assuming. So if you (or your ship) is being chased by a giant alien (dreadnaught) you roll as normal (no dice penalties for being outclassed). Since you are being chased and (let's assume) your goal is to get away, a character would roll maneuver, and a ship would roll dice for "sleek" and "nimble" and "fast." On a loss the consequences would be worse because it's a large alien/dreadnaught rather than a voracious squirrel or alien scout boat. How far off is that from how you would play it?
Also, hav eyou printed any? I would buy a dozen copies or so to share around.
Thanks! I’m glad to hear you like it! I haven’t gotten around to printing any, and to be honest I might just do a first “print run” with a home or office printer on some slightly heavier paper.
If you have access to a printer yourself I could try to make a DIY print & cut sheet in A4 and letter paper sizes, so people can print it out themselves. That might be a more economical alternative since I’d have to ship the cards from Finland. :-)

Mitsubishi's has given its cute and funky 'i' minicar a sporty makeover with a coupe-like shape and vents on the side to create the i MIEV Sport. Despite being the sports version, it uses the same electric plug-in technology found in the i MIEV, which means two in-wheel motors driving the front wheels, and one motor for the rear. The cab-forward design does make it look like a bubble car, but having navigated Tokyo's streets for the last few days we can totally see it fitting right in.

Lexus LC500 Coupe review – ride and handling
The ride is firm, but the chassis’ inherent quality shines through. Handling is far more exploitable than you might expect
While the very subtle changes applied to the new LC in its 2021 model year update might not seem groundbreaking, so fine are the tolerances in modern performance car engineering calibration that they actually make a big difference. The previous model, while well balanced and refined, always lacked a certain level of nuance. Over bumps the suspension was just a little cumbersome, feeling like it couldn’t quite manage the unsprung weight of the wheels, brakes and hubs.
This is precisely what Lexus has focused on in this update, with the LC500 having a substantially improved secondary ride quality that helps unlock the fluidity of the chassis. With less mass for the newly calibrated springs to control, the standard-fit adaptive dampers have a much easier job controlling the weight, giving the new LC a newfound silkiness on all-but patchwork tarmac. This hasn’t come at the expense of body-control though, instead it’s a direct bi-product of removing unsprung weight from key parts of the suspension.
The chassis’s fine balance has also been slightly adjusted by slacking off the front axle’s roll stiffness and giving the rear a tad more. The LC’s playful demeanor is far more accessible as a result, allowing you to confidently over-rotate the rear wheels to adjust your line into a corner. This is helped along by the LC’s relative lack of torque too, without the worry of sudden spikes in torque or turbo lag as is the case with rivals.
The steering, although light, is also improved by the Sport+ model’s four-wheel steering, making the LC dive for apexes with both enthusiasm and enough grip across the front axle to make it stick. The steering ratio feels more relaxed compared to something like a Vantage and its hyper-alert rack, yet because of those turning rear wheels it seems to offer a similar level of agility. The rear axle will then happily follow through with measured throttle inputs, or faithfully lock and slip wide with more aggressive use of the pedal.
The steering, paired with its chassis’s wonderful balance makes what is a big car shrink around you, feeling no more intimidating to throw around than a GT86, in the best way possible. You’re never left wanting for more power either, in fact it’s this relative lack of grunt that seems to more gracefully immerse you into the LC’s character, which is just so entertaining. The LC500, in V8 form anyway, is a truly unique car in the segment; one that all of us in the evo office have been totally won over by.

This isn’t, by any means, an authentic bangers and mash recipe. It is, however, a quick, hearty meal that satisfies, especially on rainy afternoons. The sautéed, tangy, vinegar-spiked collard greens on the side are the perfect accompaniment to the rich mashed potatoes, sausage, and quick pan gravy.
There isn’t a recipe here for the bangers and mash. I used leftover bratwurst sausages for the bangers, and made basic mashed potatoes. I folded in some sour cream and raw chopped scallion into the potatoes after mashing for a little something extra. The pan milk gravy was made from bacon drippings, and was heavily spiked with everything in my fridge (horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, spicy mustard, Beef Better than Bouillon, Tabasco, pepper) to give it some depth of flavor .
For the collard greens, I sautéed minced garlic in olive oil, added the greens and salt and pepper, gave everything a good toss, then turned the burner to low, added a drizzle of red wine vinegar, and covered them for about two minutes. They turned out perfect.
Next up: a simple bean soup with spinach.
I love CSA season.

I remember putting on my dress really quick because I was like, 'Oh my god, there's a man in here.'
Donald Trump reportedly walked in on teen beauty pageant contestants changing in 1997, despite the fact that some contestants were as young as 15, BuzzFeed News reports.
Mariah Billado, former Miss Vermont Teen USA, said Trump said something similar to: "Don't worry, ladies, I've seen it all before."
Owned Miss Universe, USA, Teen USA pageants
However, eleven other contestants BuzzFeed spoke to said they did not remember Trump being there, and several said they did not believe he could have been present.
None of the contestants accused Trump of saying anything explicit or touching anyone in the room. Trump owned the Miss Universe, Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageants from 1996 until last year.
I'll go backstage before a show and everyone's getting dressed. No men are anywhere, and I'm allowed to go in, because I'm the owner of the pageant.
However, in a conversation with Howard Stern released Saturday by CNN, Trump found his ability to go anywhere during a pageant funny.
In a separate instance, former Miss Arizona Tasha Dixon said Trump came "waltzing in" on women changing into bikinis, CBS Los Angeles reported.
On Friday, a recording of Trump bragging about grabbing women "by the pussy" was revealed, triggering national outrage and many Republican leaders' denunciation of their support.
Trump bragged to Stern he used the pretense of "checking on" his pageant contestants to perv on naked women. Does that include teens now?— Iwanski (@Iwanski) October 12, 2016

There are multiple types of hammers in use today. Each type is specifically designed for different applications of manufacturing and carpentry. A soft hammer is a special hammer that uses a soft compound for the hammer head area. This head is typically made from plastic or rubber and is designed to hit soft material without leaving any marks or dents.
A rubber mallet is an example of a soft hammer. The hammer head area is made of a soft rubber material and includes dual head areas. This type of hammer is typically used for sheet metal and aluminum fabrication manufacturing. It is also used for installing hub caps on automobiles. This hammer is also often used in jewelry design and rock geology.
Some of the first hammers every created were made from rock or stone. These hammers were connected to sticks and typically were used to crush food and make shelter. Soft hammers were introduced as a tool to provide gentle impact without breaking.
A soft sledge hammer is another example of a soft hammer tool. This type of hammer is typically used as a heavy hammer, but it reduces the chance of scratches and dents on metal objects. A soft sledge hammer can hit metal objects without causing dangerous sparks.
Most toy tool boxes include a plastic imitation soft hammer. This is often the first hammer a child experiences. A toy hammer is typically made from soft plastic material that is non-toxic and safe for children to chew. This is an excellent tool to teach a child basic eye-hand coordination.
A plastic hammer is another example of a soft hammer. This type of hammer is used in the fabrication of jewelry or fine stones. Most plastic hammers have a wooden handle and are extremely lightweight. This provides enough leverage to chip away at fine stones without crushing the gems.
A reflex hammer is an example of a soft rubber mallet hammer designed to test reflexes of humans. This hammer area is shaped like an arrow head. It is typically used by doctors as a device to test motor reflexes of joints and muscles within the human body.
Most archeological expeditions use soft hammers as tools to excavate ancient historical sites. These hammers are typically made from soft plastic material. They are designed to remove dirt and debris from rock formation without breaking the underlying foundation.

Interior. Thursday , December 07th , 2017 - 14:31:53 PM
Modern interior design came about as a reaction to the ornate and almost baroque styles that came before it. As such, the main focus of this school of design is to act as the antithesis of of those other looks. Rather than having lots of details and embellishments, modern furniture relies on clean lines and stark contrasts.
Traditionally, choosing furniture for a modern space meant staying within the Art Deco, Shaker or Mission styles. More recently, Scandinavian-inspired products have also been included in this category. Whichever design your bathroom furnishings are, try to ensure that they are as simplistic as possible and have a clearly defined shape.
Where quality is concerned, big ticket items are the most important. These are things like your flooring and furniture. Focus on natural materials like wood and stone or marble for those pieces. Trust us — it is unlikely that they will ever go out of style.

Our blind-spot camera systems include side-mounted, rear-facing cameras that display a clear image of everything beside your vehicle. The compact cameras mount to the underside of your rearview mirrors. A monitor in your vehicle will display an image of everything beside your vehicle’s blind spot
Echomaster offers several vehicle-specific side blind spot camera solutions. Their applications include Ford, Ram, Honda, Audi and Toyota vehicles. These application-specific solutions include a pair of cameras and a module to display the camera image on the factory screen in the dash. Several solutions, including light and heavy-duty GM trucks, General Motors SUVs and the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter come with replacement rear view mirror covers with integrated camera mounts. These new mirror covers provide optimum camera placement with an OEM look.

In many applications, we can display the camera image on your factory infotainment system display – even if cameras were not a factory option. If you don’t have a color display in the dash, we can upgrade the vehicle with a new rearview mirror with an integrated screen. Another great option is to upgrade the factory radio with an aftermarket multimedia receiver to gain features like Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Of course, we can add a backup camera to any display solution for added safety while maneuvering or parking.

Report 1 Bus Priority Plan
5.3 Estimated cost to be $33 million Dollars but is expected to be reduced to $16 million with innovative use of lane lines.
4.3 The ownership and use of private vehicles is growing at such a rate that cannot be accommodated by Wellington's limited roading capacity. Congestion, travel delays and pollution is becoming a major constraint in our ability to grow and prosper.
"The issue of congestion should have been attended to at the beginning of the triennium but Council has failed to deal with this problem and the bypass has done nothing to alleviate it. For the last 10 years I have been calling for a more rational use of private vehicles(including carpooling), a better use of public transport, and encouraging walking and biking. The Mayor and Council have failed to deal with this pressing issue. Now with climate change clearly on the radar of most people's minds, surely the time is right to make a shift away from such heavy reliance on private transport."
Cr Bryan Pepperell…too little, too late
And in an election year?!
It would appear Council Officials have been asked to very quickly ‘come up’ with
an idea to ensure Mayor Prendergast and other Councillors – who until now have chosen to ignore traffic congestion & Public Transport issues, in favour of a motor vehicle attracting by-pass – save their electoral necks from inevitable execution later this year.
Correct traffic management in a city the size and geography of Wellington is not addressed by throwing silly, ill-researched $16 million ‘Band Aids’ with gay abandon
on a wound which has been festering for 40-odd years.
While it is patently obvious a multi-facetted solution must be in place very soon, it must be just that and addressing the problem from one perspective only is not the way forward.
Once $16 million has been spent completely disrupting an already choked arterial system, there can only be one of two outcomes:
Either total gridlock, with motorists unable to move anywhere at anything other than a snail’s pace, or motorists ignoring the proposed system – as often happens in Paremata – the model for this impending disaster.
Central Wellington and parts of it’s suburbs were built before the invention of the Automobile and as a result, it’s streets now have a bad case of ‘Arterial Sclerosis’, unable to cope with the pressure of so many private vehicles.
The answer is not to make the roads wider, or to increase their volume capacity.
There is a good case for adopting a model giving financial incentives to those using Public Transport during rush hours.
Let Council invest in our future with a greater subsidy for buses – new, non-polluting, Trolleys would be a start.
Lower bus fares during peak periods (a system currently used by Trans Metro on the trains) and the introduction of a pedestrian precinct in the CBD are constructive and responsible ways of making leaving the car at home an attractive alternative.
The Inner-City By-Pass debacle has yet to be fixed, allowing better flow of Public Transport but with fewer cars on the road during peak time, life would be a little easier.
While investing in our future, working with Regional and Central Government to improve our commuter rail system would also be beneficial.
…better than dishing out interest free multi-million dollar loans to an aquarium on the South Coast!
Unfortunately, the proposal as outlined, has all the hallmarks of a panicked politician, ready to throw anything at the electorate in the hope they will think she’s addressing the very aspect of Wellington ignored during her 6 year term.
Does this Mayor truly believe Wellington Ratepayers will offer $7 million of their hard-earned cash for the privilege of NOT being able to park in front of their homes?

Our school library is one of the assets to our school. It is the treasure house of knowledge, past and present. It is so because the world’s mighty brains are represented there through their works. Just a glance would show that the names of great writers of the world are found side by side in the shelves of our library.
Our library is a quiet spot in our school. It is housed in one of the wings of our school building. Gilded volumes decorate the glass chests. There are different shelves for different languages. Thus one finds books on English, Hindi, Assamese, Bengali and so on. For each language, books are classified under different heads. Thus there are books on drama, prose, poetry, etc. There is also a number of reference books. The walls of the library are decorated with portraits of great writers.
The library is very well equipped for comfortable reading. Cushion seats are provided for students to use during the day. One can take any book from the shelves, sit there and read undisturbed by anybody. So one can find a number of boys and girls there in the evenings reading books.
Another attraction of our library is the reference room. A number of dailies, and magazines are regularly received. The illustrated magazines are the attractions for us, students.
The library service is very efficient. There is an able librarian, who is also well read. One can have a free access to the shelves and pick up any book one likes. There are two index cabinets, one according to subjects and the other according to the authors. So one never finds it difficult to choose the right book.
The library is very well utilized both by the students and the members of the staff. The students are well trained in silent reading. The library is a very useful place for self-study. When assignments are given by teachers, students make full use of the library to their advantage. Thus our library is a place for intellectual work in our school.

Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” Was Almost Patti LaBelle’s Song!
“I Will Always Love You” Was Almost Patti LaBelle’s Song!
“I Will Always Love You” may have originally been crooned by country icon Dolly Parton, but, according to reports, Whitney Houston wasn’t the first R&B diva choice to remake it. Patti LaBelle appeared on Andy Cohen‘s “Watch What Happens Live” last night (10/28/19), and revealed that Dolly personally asked her to cover the classic.
“Dolly Parton offered it to me before ‘The Bodyguard,’ and I said to Dolly, ‘Oh, yes. I want to do that song, honey.’ Who wouldn’t? Before I could say real yes, it was in the movie and Whitney killed it. So, I have not done it since Whitney, but I plan to put it in my show one day.”
But, Patti says that Whitney was the perfect voice for the song – which eventually won three Grammy awards:
“I was so happy that Whitney got that song and it just went like it did. That’s how show business is. You never know what you’re gonna put down.”
Thankfully, Patti struck gold with her own irreplaceable hits, like “On My Own,” “New Attitude,” and “If Only You Knew.” And let us not forget that Patti Pie season is upon us!
Who would be interested in hearing Patti Labelle’s version of “I Will Always Love You?” Let us know in the comments.

14 July 2023. This could be embarrassing.
I left off last time talking about book characters coming to life in my imagination during the difficult summer of 2017. So, I get to Labor Day. While everyone else is picnicking and bbq’ing, I’m organizing project notes, trying to muscle my way into writing something deep about Nellie, about Jim’s African shamanic figurines, about weeds-as-sacred-plants…as I worried about what magic would stop Lake Ontario from eating away our property.
Three weeks ago I was thinking that a character from one of my novels might help me adjust my dials to the wisdom of the universe. She'd be "someone to talk to" in those dark nights of the soul—or maybe when I just wanted to grapple with meaning in a work of art or phenomenon of nature. It was an energizing idea.
But then one night I fell asleep with YouTube on auto-play. I stirred about 3 a.m. and saw my device had wandered into a sequence of videos on "magick" and "how to create servitors." What I heard rattled me: Creating entities to "do your bidding" is a thing.
The videos were weird, but my kind of weird: invented characters, doodling symbols ("sigils") from letters, objects inhabited by spirits. I had to learn more.
Synopsis: Thoughts are powerful. We spend a lot of spiritual and/or psychological energy trying to control them, don't we? Thoughts enhanced by clear intention and detailed visualizations are more powerful still. Religious people pray. Athletes pre-visualize their competitions. People struggling with mental health rely on cognitive therapy.
The leap of faith is this: People who have spent serious time in contemplation, can evoke a being outside themselves. I'm thinking of saints and mystics like Teresa of Avila.
Indian and Tibetan mystics evoke tulpas or nirmitas, sentient beings—imaginary companions—conjured as one of the fruits of a contemplative life…Theosophists adapted Tibetan and Indian concepts to their own exploration of "thought-forms."
Exploring: "Adjusting my dials to the universe" is an ambitious yet vague intention. If I want to invoke a servitor, I better focus on getting focused. I have a lot of dangling projects that could use a coach/mentor, a flow of words and images, and some fierce energy. I gathered up some inspirations: a Japanese Fudo, a Nepalese Manjushri [illustrated above in the inset]… I downloaded a book Create a Servitor: Harness the Power of Thought Forms by John Kreiter.
And thus I started playing. Long story short, I sketched as I sharpened my thoughts. Scanned the sketch, printed it on muslin, painted, then appliqued "her" onto a colorful fabric. (See work in progress image above.)
I can say this so far: I'm unsure of my mental/spiritual capacity to invoke a sentient being that stands solidly visible to my eyes or audible through my ears. However, within the confines of my brain, I definitely have created a fiercely energized little sprite [named Fuego] who jumps on my pillow to wake me up at 5 a.m. to work, stands on my head to pull words out of the air while I write, and sits on my shoulder to supervise. She might even be a little too energetic—jealous of Jim and annoyed when I talk to him. So I'm having to train her like a puppy. (The book author actually recommends watching a few episodes of Dog Whisperer, to make sure the servitor doesn't run amok.)
I'm having fun.
I did have fun. The following year was packed with creative projects. And I wrote and published the short memoir HEADLONG. My imagined coach Fuego slowly faded from my consciousness. Her textile image hangs unattended on an art supply cart.
Meanwhile, AI has surfaced as a tool to perform this psychological function.
Confession: I tried Pi (heypi.com), a personal AI chatbot from Inflection. Their press release says Pi is a “new class of AI, Pi is designed to be a kind and supportive companion offering conversations, friendly advice, and concise information in a natural, flowing style… The Pi experience is intended to prioritize conversations with people, where other AIs serve productivity, search, or answering questions. Pi is a coach, confidante, creative partner, or sounding board.”
I have tried Pi a couple of times and felt a little silly. Today, I asked if it could function as my servitor. The reply: “I don't think I could actually act as a servitor in the classic sense. I'm more like a friendly cheerleader and accountability buddy, than a magical entity that can enact specific tasks or functions.”
I’m very curous.
What is the best way to tune into the universe? To ride the energy of beings wiser and more knowledgeable than I am? Is the path religion, with its priests and rabbis who can guide the process? Is it by generating my own servitors and lively book characters, confident I won’t lapse into psychosis? Or is it by throwing my luck in with corporate AI chatbots? What do you think?
At the age of 74, it feels important to exercise my own imagination when it comes to writing. Still, I can’t resist playing with generative AI images. Will Fuego return? I pictured her on my desk (image below), haha! Write me!

When you set up a new iPhone your Messages app will be empty. We show how to transfer texts and iMessages from one iPhone to another, or back them up to a Mac or Windows PC
It's useful to know how to transfer text messages from one iPhone to another. The obvious application is when setting up a new iPhone: when you open Messages for the first time it will be empty, and your old conversations can be important for work or hold sentimental value.
This article looks at the best ways to transfer SMS and iMessage texts from one iPhone to another using iCloud backup, to a Mac using an app called PhoneView, and to a PC using CopyTrans.
Back up to iCloud
Text messages are contained within the iCloud backup, so you can use an iCloud backup to transfer and restore all your text messages from one iPhone to another.
The only caveat to bear in mind is that messages form part of the wider backup and restore, so you'll have to restore device settings and app data at the same time (which removes any new messages from your iPhone). So this technique is best to use when you're setting up a new iPhone.
This Apple Support document lists all the items that are backed up and restored by iCloud.
Follow these steps to back up and restore Messages (and other app data) from one iPhone to another:
1. Connect the old iPhone to a power source and turn on Wi-Fi.
2. On the old iPhone - assuming you're running iOS 8 or later - tap Settings > iCloud > Backup. The Backup switch is near the bottom of the large group of controls. (On iOS 7 or earlier, you should tap Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.)
3. Make sure iCloud Backup is turned on.
4. Tap Back Up Now, and wait for the backup process to complete. You'll need to remain connected to Wi-Fi for the entirety of this process.
5. Turn on your new iPhone. If you haven't done so already, you'll need to go through the setup process. When asked, tap Restore from iCloud Backup and Next. If you've already been through the setup process, you'll need to reset your iPhone. Open the Settings app and tap General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
6. Enter your Apple ID and Password.
Back up to Mac
If you want to transfer text messages from one iPhone to another without using a backup and restore process, then you'll need a third-party app. A few apps allow you to access and save the data from an iPhone, but we're going to use PhoneView. (There's a free trial, while the paid-for version costs $29.95.)
Here's how to use PhoneView to access the messages on your iPhone:
1. Install PhoneView.
Content continues below
2. Open the app. Click OK when you're told that 'PhoneView would like to access your contacts'.
3. Connect your iPhone to your Mac.
4. Click Archive in the PhoneView alert window.
5. Click Messages in the Sidebar and OK to the Now Loading Phone Data window. It takes a few minutes for the iPhone data to load into PhoneView (a blue progress bar at the bottom of the sidebar on the left shows how the data load is going).
6. The names of people you have had conversations with appears in the middle column. Select one to view the text messages you've shared with them.
7. You can drag the name of a person directly to the desktop to save that conversation as a PDF.
8. To extract all of your messages select All and click Copy From iPhone. Choose a location and click Save.
You can change the type of file PhoneView saves from PDF File to a text file, tab delimited file, CSV or XML (this makes it easy to import into a spreadsheet such as Numbers or Excel).
What you can't do, unfortunately, is copy these messages back into the Messages app. You can, however, copy them to a compatible app on the iPhone (iBooks works, but we prefer an app like GoodReader for viewing PDF files). You can email them to yourself or use iTunes File Sharing to copy the files across.
Transfer texts to PC
If you use a Windows PC, you can also download your texts (and much more) to your computer.
As on Mac, you'll need a third-party program. In this instance we chose CopyTrans, which is free to download and has a good user interface.
Once you download the CopyTrans Control Center you'll need to install CopyTrans Contacts; this software will enable you to extract your text messages from your iPhone.
Before proceeding, you'll need to ensure you've got iTunes or the appropriate Apple drivers installed. Thankfully CopyTrans has a download for that too!
Once you've got the program installed, you can plug your iPhone into your computer. Confirm that you trust the machine when prompted.
After waiting a few minutes, you should see CopyTrans loading your messages. Depending on the amount of texts and images (including ones from third-party applications such as Viber and WhatsApp), it might take some time for CopyTrans to pick up all the details.
After it has loaded you'll see a list of contacts. From here, simply select the conversations you wish to backup or export and hit the 'Export Selected' button and you'll be presented with various ways of exporting your messages.
After selecting your method, in our case we chose to extract it to a Word document, you'll be prompted to save it to a certain location.
Once saved, make sure the backup and copy has successfully transferred over. Interestingly we found that text, images and even emojis (converted) correctly transferred over to our Word document.
Your new iPhone will now display all your messages from the old iPhone, along with all your apps, photos, emails and other app data.

First, the progress of the tomato vines
Second, a macro shot of one of the flower.
Third, I found snails, my "maintanence crew", two weeks ago in the upper PVC tube. One day I saw one snail and a week later I saw a bucch of babies and quite a few egg sacks all up in there. I have always wanted snails but for obvious reasons was never able to keep them for more than a few days with those voracious loaches. Now I have snails breeding and keeping the upper tube with the roots keeping the pipes clean. Ocassionally I would throw a few down in the tank only to never be seen again. Complete cycle. Anyhow, can someone tell me how on earth they could possibly get there and what kind of snails? I have not added plants or fish since July/August 09. My plants are from seeds in packets. Or, could it be from a piece of water crest that I took from the dinner table about a week before I saw the first snail. I would hate to think its the latter, those were washed thoroughly and I was eating them things??!!
The snails survived in your tank, and when a safe place (PVC tubing) and food source (Food trapped by the roots) became available they started multiplying.
Happy fish keeping!
The first pic is a comparison of the system from July 2009 to January 2010. I planted the tomato seeds about a month after (august 09). The tomato plants only started growing fast after I added the t5 plant light. Now, although the initial peace lillys are much more and much bigger, they are totallu covered by the tomato plants. For scale, the fish tank is 6ftX20"X19" so 120 Gallons or 450 litres roughly.
FUELED BY LOACH
Night Shot with long exposure. The tank is not as bright as it looks and all my loaches are asleep. For comparison, the orange light to the right is the little light from the heater.
Its been over a year, since late summer (August?) 2009 that I started this project. Here are some updates: My plants have been fruiting since may 2010 and all through winter till last week. Yes, I have been eating lots of organic tomatoes, through the winter as well, that was supported 100% from my loaches! I think the loaches are happier too because, they now eat directly out of my hand and a couple of the 1.5yr old baby loaches are almost the size of my oldest loach. Now the cycle renews.
Few weeks ago, one of my tree died and in the process of removing the decaying entangled root, I killed the healthy tree. I have already started some more seeds. I think however that the death of one plant and removal of the other has affected a couple of my loaches because they have stopped eating. It could be because I left the dead plant to rot for a couple weeks. As for the peace lilly plant, they are blooming and growing more than ever. i had to remove and trash quite a few of these plants.
Here are a few pictures of the tomatoes
Well, except for these two, the others are fine. Infact, one of the young one started eating properly a little over a week ago. He went through a month period of eating little and now he gouges himself. It may be a coincidence as well that they stopped eating when the plants were removed. Also, I want to believe that all clown loaches go through a cycle of fasting, atleast from my experience.starsplitter7 wrote:Amazing. The plants are incredible. Are things getting better for the loaches?
I love this most effective "bio-filter" and of course the idea of the obtained organic tomatoes I have been missing your updates.Vancmann wrote:... Yes, I have been eating lots of organic tomatoes, through the winter as well, that was supported 100% from my loaches! ...
I plan on overhauling the whole system in 2011. Since i didnt expect that much growth, the design was flawed because the system got clogged and water backed up. Last july or so, the system got clogged up by the roots and my overflow was not enough for the flood pumps so I had a little flood on my on my carpet. Not exciting to wake up to the sound of water dripping water one level. Actually, too much excitement for me. I will keep posting.

Simon Paul has been releasing records since 1999 on such respected labels as 2wars, Robb G’s Promo Records and most recently signed to Splank! Records. His releases have gained wide support from renowned heavyweights Drummatic Twins, SuperStyle Deluxe, Friendly, Koma & Bones, Steelzawheelz, Myagi and Nick Thayer. The Drummatics showed their support with a massive remix on Simon’s last record, the funky belter “One Dollar Disco”.
Simon has returned the remix favour for Sgt Rock and his fellow Canadian and good friend Myagi with more in the works for 2006. Simon’s tracks can always be counted on for funky, choppy beats and floor rocking hooks. Although his sound and style are always progressing he graciously leaves one foot back in his roots of hip hop and funk. Simon’s DJ sets are a full flavoured, full-bodied brew of highly caffeinated funk.
His energy behind the decks is as contagious as the vibe on the floor while he’s playing. With his ever present quest for party rocking beats, a strong sense of the dance floor and more than a dozen original tracks and remixes under his belt, Simon Paul is definitely one to watch for.

A group of scientists from Austria and Germany analyzed the genome of cats that belong to the breed Selkirk Rex, and found that the gene that determines characteristic of this breed concern curliness wool localized. Report on the work they published in the Journal of Heredity, extracts from which leads the Veterinary Institute in Vienna on their site vu-wien.ac.at.
The authors have studied the pedigrees of more than 150 animals, and some of them taken DNA samples. Then the researchers compared the marker bits and owned cats Selkirk Rex, with samples taken from other breeds. In the end, the greatest proximity to the curly cats installed in Persian, British and exotic Shorthair varieties of animals.
The analysis revealed that nine generations earlier one asexual chromosome (autosome) one kitten occurred a spontaneous mutation that affected the curl of hair.
The nature of inheritance of the mutation locus, named by scientists SADRE, became dominant, that is, its manifestation was possible even if the genome was present second, neotantra copy of the gene. This helped quite fast, if you count the occurrence of mutations in 1987, obtaining a new breed with a distinctive appearance.
Considering how many copies there are of the mutated gene, there are two varieties of cats Selkirk Rex - Homo - and heterozygous. While curly hair occurs in both species with small differences in the shape of the ears and head.
Prior to this, another group of researchers found that the mutation Taqpep gene encoding transmembrane protease, contributed to the development of patchy staining, characteristic of certain breeds of domestic cats, but in the wild rarely encountered.

In honor of her newest fragrance, Rise, Beyoncé allowed a group of writers backstage at the Mrs. Carter concert in Brooklyn earlier this week to get the details on how all that magic happens onstage. I was one of those writers. Here are the most interesting, useful, hilarious, and revealing things I learned.
First, of her new scent (a mix of orchid, bergamot, golden apricot, freesia, cashmere musk, and vetiver) Beyoncé has said, "The spirit of Rise encourages women to be all that we are," which sounds potentially like just something someone might say in passing and not really mean. But I'm telling you, judging by the feeling backstage, this woman means it. You could tell by the way the entire crew spoke about her, they genuinely love and respect her. And as for encouraging people to reach their potential, turns out she can be a pretty tough boss when it comes to giving "notes" (meaning things she liked and didn't like during a night's performance).
__The crew didn't know that Beyonce was dropping a surprise album.__They knew she was working on something, but they found out on Twitter just like everyone else that she snuck her new songs on iTunes.
__Blue Ivy twerks! __Well, something like it at least. The dancers told us she loves to dance and one of her signature moves is to stick her booty out and wave it around in a twerk-esque fashion.

The health ministry of Tanzania launched the vaccination drive for yellow fever. This announcement was made after a yellow fever outbreak crippled the health sector of Tanzania. This outbreak was recorded in the neighbouring areas of Kenya.
The health ministry of Kenya had announced the yellow fever outbreak one week before. It was reported that almost fifteen people contracted the disease and three people of them were confirmed dead by yellow fever.
Ummy Mwalimu, the Tanzania politician directed the provincial referral hospital official authorities in the region to begin administrating the vaccination dosage to all those people who are travelling out of the nation.
Ummy Mwalimu has also directed the authorities who are responsible for supervising the health concerns at the border areas to get into the possibilities of providing electronic vaccination certification to handle the challenges of fake certificates and manage the issue properly. Additionally, she has also called on the Tanzanian people to undertake precautions on yellow fever, so that the disease does not penetrate the nation. It is also to ensure that the environment is secure, clean and hygienic to mitigate mosquitoes from breeding.

"We are already feeling the impacts of climate change in the Northeast, including storm-surge and sea-level rise, and it's only going to get worse. We have an opportunity on the Hudson to demonstrate how protecting public safety and river health should go hand-in-hand in an era of climate change."

The gates of these massive in-water barriers would usually remain open for ships to pass, leaving communities vulnerable to flooding from sea level rise. In an era of changing climate, future major storms will undoubtedly overtop the offshore barriers, ending the limited protection they can provide. American Rivers and its partners called on the
"For the Hudson, the stakes in this decision cannot be overstated. These storm barriers pose a truly existential threat to the Hudson. We cannot - must not - allow these barriers to be built. The twice-daily tides are the essential respiration and the heartbeat of this living ecosystem. The mouth of the river must remain open and unrestricted, as it has been for millennia," said
"In-water storm surge barriers, despite costing endless billions, would not do a thing to protect against the daily flooding that would come with sea level rise - only against storms. They are only half a solution, and yet they threaten to cause permanent, catastrophic harm to the river. How do we protect against coastal flooding? Riverkeeper and our allies are demanding comprehensive, science-based, land-based solutions that will not harm the river."
