– 2006 Kawasaki Concours
SPORTBIKE PERFORMANCE, TOURING COMFORT
The Concours™ motorcycle is designed for the sport-touring enthusiast who wants the engine and chassis performance of a sportbike, but demands the comfort and convenience necessary for those extended road trips that make life more interesting.
As a true sport-tourer, the Concours handles twisty backroads as easily as it cruises the highway, thanks to a rigid chassis and 997cc liquid-cooled four-cylinder engine. The engine produces strong power throughout the rev range and a gear-driven counterbalancer smoothes vibration. The engine is matched to a six-speed transmission to keep the engine at a relaxed rpm at highway speeds.
Of course, comfort is a high priority on the Concours. It features a triple-density foam saddle, which is deeply contoured to comfortably seat both the rider and passenger. A full fairing creates an aerodynamic envelope for two when riding in a relaxed, upright position. Two lockable bins are on either side of the fairing for added convenience.
The Concours also features a 7.5-gallon fuel tank for long-distance touring, and locking luggage detaches with the flip of a latch for overnight trips. Plus, the smooth flowing lines of the Concours add an aesthetic touch, and special panels can be secured to the sides when the saddlebags and mounting brackets are removed.

Location: Leeuwarden (Netherlands)
By: Sabine van Gameren
Excentric Crobot is the first band on Saturday. The Rock n roll formation has an interesting mix of sounds. Some proggy touch that makes us think of Bigelf as a reference, the eye is meeting that as well.
Musically the band released album number four this year. “Motherbrain” it is called and it has a wide range of tracks that the band performed also at Into The Grave. But if the music is not immediately hitting you, frontman Brandon is exactly what you need this morning. Shiny clothes, a charisma you can’t ignore and moving around the stage like a Freddy Mercury the guy is certainly drawing attention. Interesting act to start with.
Dutch formation God Dethroned is a band that got their name out well. With some periods of inactivity they have been around since 1991 and with ten full length albums on the counter the guys are having planty material available. The band’s latest release is from two years ago, so it seems they have not felt the need to stick with that one just. Whether it is the older material or the newer the band has brought it all in one line.
The show is waking up the audience, sure the band is not the wildest but the intensity of the music sets people in motion. The early crowdsurfers are around and a bit of moshing is to be seen there also. One thing is sure, God Dethroned is such a stable factor that they never really disappoint. Today neither.
Japanese band Crystal Lake is maybe a bit strange at first. The guys are quite active straight from the start and in the first song it seems that this have occupied them a bit too much, letting the whole getting away from music they play, but then they quickly catch up with that.
It is easy to get hyped up by this band as they are quite energetic but one should be absolutely entertained by watching the drummer just. He has his own style, but is probably not noticed by the majority of the audience. He seems so eager to play and makes a show out of every moment. Lovely to watch and certainly a great add to the band. They were quite unknown when they started but certainly left us with an impression. One to follow, who knows where they will head to.
Battle Beast entertained us well this year at Tuska so we are eager to see them again. So was the audience, judging by the immense cheering when they are announced. Looks like the band is popular. We have seent he band grow through the years. When Noora joined it took a bit to get used to, but she proves herself to be a podium beast as much as a battle beast.
Horny, (yes.. pun…) she stands tall and strong during the show. With little effort she has the audience on her hands and with the playfulness of the rest of the band beside her this band surely will grow to be a headliner act. For now they are doing absolutely great, new album “No More Hollywood Endings” has landed well here and it seems that to many this set was a highlight today.
We are down for Alien Weaponry show number three this season. From small clubstage at Tuska, to mainstage Dynamo to the second stage of Into The Grave. Three different kind of experiences but the band seem to fit in either of them. The New Zealand Thrashers are touring in Europe and have brought their name up to the attention of many.
Making us think a little bit of the early years of Gojira the band is quite playful with their music. Some songs are in English and some are in Maori language with which they give their music an unique sound. The youngsters are making an impression here, the vehemence and energy are soaking in well and it seems like they convinced a bunch of people here today. Was it our favorite show? No, Tuska is the winner for it being so intimate but the guys have done well today.
Tesseract is somewhat different from other acts we see here tonight. They have a bit of an alternative feel to it, while their music is more progressive and technical. The switch from what has played here before and to what they are playing is large, the audience needs some time to adjust to it and seem to respond quite mellow.
The band has released their latest album “Sonder” about a year ago and they seem to have a few people in the audience who have been listening to it.
The performance of the guys is focused on the intensity of the music, but does not really seem to connect with the audience too much. It is a bit of stadiumrock kind of show. but when their vocalist comes down to get closer to the audience it seems like things got a bit better. A pity that it did not work out, because their show was really not that bad.
Jinjer is drawing quite some audience. The square in front of the small stage was full, no more entry allowed, so people decided to exit the festival area and watch the show from the road behind it as much as they could see. Seems like this Ukrain formation is doing something really right. And so we can confirm that.
The band mixes progressive with hardcore and with a fanatic femme up front they draw the attention easily. Her voice is spicy, She can go deep enough to make it sound extreme and with some good guitarist on her side the band is finding a good balance in it. Songs like “I Speak Astronomy” are stuck in mind easily and so we are a bit bummed when the set is over already. Yes, they could certainly pull it off here so a mainstage spot next time perhaps?
Sticking with the progressive we are now waiting for Queensryche, who mixes that with Heavy Metal, to enter the stage. The band has played Leeuwarden before, A couple of years ago they performed sister festival Cityrock. This year the guys came with “The Verdict” in their pockets, having some new material to play for the audience. Take for example “Blood of the Lavant” which seem to match perfectly with what the band released before and yet has some very modern touch to it. Good that the guys can blend it towards the now and stay relevant without giving up what made them as is.
They left the drama behind and are now looking forward with this album and while playing shows as passionate as they did here today we think they will reach even newer generations as well. Surprisingly better than expected even while we were expecting a good show.
German Ost+Front crossed our path already some times, but for many Dutch metalheads they are relatively new. The Germans mix Industrial with metal and a whole lot of show. It is over the top, but just at the edge of being too much. The show is key here. One could too easily pount towards an act like Rammstein, but that just does not hit the target completely.
In any case, the band is bringing a lot extra. Having a guy with a large sombrero or some classic light on the side.. the set is filled with so many items you won’t get bored watching it. Musically, they are maybe not the best band of the day but with the entertainment factor on board they surely found their way to people.
Testament has the habit of making us wait. Technical difficulties all the time. Or at least at the Dutch shows, so one can guess what we have been joking about right before the band was playing. Well, shit got back to us as all was fine and they started on time. The band had a varied set prepared and from the first moment the crowdsurfers were passing by. “Into The Pit” was played and it awakened even more fury at the audience.
Chuck seems quite motivated today and while Eric an Alex are showing off their skills it is surprisingly one of the better shows of the band we saw. The band announced they are currently working on a new release, giving the fans something to look forward to, expected for the new year ahead. So, Testament was better than thought this time, lovely!
Lacuna Coil had their biggest hits with the “Comalies” album but never stopped releasing albums. Most recently the album “Black Anima” came out and they are touring again. As we expected the square is full again and when the band enters the stage a lot of cheering follows.
Lady up front Cristina is wearing a red dress and draws a lot of attention with that, but also the rest of the band appears to be quite theatrical. Bassist Marco is also claiming some spotlight as well vocalist Andrea. Makes it a bit of a battle upfront sometimes but the band is always getting it together. The refrain from playing their most known songs, giving the focus to the newer material and it suits them well. They did well here today.
Meshuggah is playing at the mainstage and although it is still quite light during their stagetime they brought some extra lights with them. With that they are putting down a nice lightshow, which is a good add to their set as the band self is not that entertaining to watch. Musically, it is a whole different story. Technically they are very controlled and playing a tight set. Joy to listen to, but would be more with a bit more of that show element in there. What Ost+front has a bit too much could be swapped with Meshuggah then?
It also has been a while since we saw a new release from these Swedes, 2016 was their latest. A pity as musically this band never disappoints. So, altogether we enjoyed the set, but it was totally ok to have dinner during it and just have the music to listen to. The show could be just that thing to make it next level with them.
Sacred Reich was on our wishlist for today. Strangely they were scheduled on the small stage. Founded in 1985 the Thrash Metal formation has been lately. A split an ep and a full length album have been coming out this year. Good, their previous full length was 1996 so it was about time we would say.
The band seems eager today and speaks out to be happy to perform new material to the audience today. It is interesting to see as the set is really diverse. From the oldest to their newest songs and all that is in between, but the band has given it a more modern approach. So sometimes it feels like going back and forth but in the end you feel like you have seen the whole picture.
The guys proves that they are still relevant by playing an energetic and strong set today. Would have loved to see it on a larger stage.
Powerwolf has headlined Into The Grave before. This year the band released an album full of covers, but about a year ago they also had an album which is full of their own songs. Plenty to hear from the guys and they are ready to show us why they are a great headliner. With lots of fire in their show the band is quite a spectacle to watch. Vocalist Attila Dorn is throwing flames around and knows how to get the audience along.
Playing songs like “Demons Are a Girl’s Best Friend” or “Killers With the Cross” the band shows that they can step beyond what they did before. The “Blessed and Possessed” era we have seen too much of. Now the band is showing us a solid and progressing side of themselves. A good show and great closure of this Into The Grave Saturday.

According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple has trimmed AirPods 3 production by more than 30 percent as demand for AirPods 3 is significantly weaker than for AirPods 2. As a result, Kuo says that Apple will likely discontinue the current AirPods Pro once the new Pro model arrives later this year. Apple was reportedly considering cutting the price of the older model.
Aside from the case, AirPods 3 offer a newer design with slightly shorter stems, spatial audio and adaptive EQ, sweat and water resistance, and slightly longer battery life (up to 30 hours versus more than 24 hours). Neither offers the snug fit or noise cancellation of the AirPods Pro. And users have complained that the new force touch controls on the AirPods 3 aren't as easy to use as the touch controls on the prior model.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology created the NIST 800-53 publication for enabling federal agencies to realize effective cybersecurity practices. The framework focuses on information security requirements designed to enable federal agencies to secure information and information systems. Besides, NIST 800-53 provides governmental organizations with the requirements for allowing them to comply with FISMA (Federal Information Security Management Act) requirements. NIST 800-53 is unique as it contains more than 900 security requirements, making it among the most complicated frameworks for organizations to implement. The requirements recommended in the framework include controls for enhancing physical security, penetration testing, guidelines for implementing security assessments, and authorization policies or procedures, among others. NIST 800-53 is a useful framework for organizations maintaining federal information systems, companies with systems that interact with federal information systems, or institutions seeking FISMA compliance.
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework was developed to respond to the presidential Executive Order 13636. The executive order purpose to enhance the security of the country’s critical infrastructure, thus protecting them from internal and external attacks. Although the design of the framework aims at securing critical infrastructures, private organizations implement it to strengthen their cyber defenses. In particular, NIST CSF describes five functions that manage the risks to data and information security. The functions include identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover.
The identify function guides organizations in detecting security risks to asset management, business environment, and IT governance through comprehensive risk assessment and management processes. The detect function defines security controls for protecting data and information systems. These include access control, training and awareness, data security, procedures for information protection, and maintaining protective technologies. Detect provides guidelines for detecting anomalies in security, monitoring systems, and networks to uncover security incidences, among others. The response function includes recommendations for planning responses to security events, mitigation procedures, communication processes during a response, and activities for improving security resiliency. Lastly, the recovery function provides guidelines that a company can use to recover from attacks.
The selection and specification of security controls for a system is accomplished as part of an organization-wide information security program that involves the management of organizational risk---that is, the risk to the organization or to individuals associated with the operation of a system. The management of organizational risk is a key element in the organization's information security program and provides an effective framework for selecting the appropriate security controls for a system---the security controls necessary to protect individuals and the operations and assets of the organization.
The NIST Risk Management Framework provides a process that integrates security and risk management activities into the system development life cycle. The risk-based approach to security control selection and specification considers effectiveness, efficiency, and constraints due to applicable laws, directives, Executive Orders, policies, standards, or regulations.
The ISO 27001/27002 cybersecurity frameworks consist of international standards which recommend the requirements for managing information security management systems (ISMS). ISO 27001 observes a risk-based process that requires businesses to put in place measures for detecting security threats that impact their information systems. An organization should select proper controls that can mitigate security risks to ensure it remains protected from attacks. In total, ISO 27001 advocates a total of 114 controls, which are categorized into 14 different categories. Some of the categories include information security policies containing two controls; information security organization with seven controls that detail the responsibilities for various tasks; human resource security category with six controls for enabling employees to understand their responsibility in maintaining information security; among others.
FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) is a framework designed for government agencies. The framework provides standardized guidelines that can enable federal agencies to evaluate cyber threats and risks to the different infrastructure platforms and cloud-based services and software solutions. Furthermore, the framework permits the reuse of existing security packages and assessments across various governmental agencies. The framework is also based on the continuous monitoring of IT infrastructure and cloud products to facilitate a real-time cybersecurity program. More importantly, FedRAMP focuses on shifting from tedious, tethered, and insecure IT to more secure mobile and quick IT. The aim is to ensure federal agencies have access to modern and reliable technologies, but without compromising their security.
To achieve the desired security levels, FedRAMP collaborates with cloud and cybersecurity experts involved in maintaining other security frameworks. These include NSA, DoD, NIST, GSA, OMB, and other groups in private sectors. The main goals of FedRAMP are to accelerate cloud migrations by reusing authorizations and assessments, enhance confidence in cloud security, ensure that federal agencies consistently apply recommended security practices, and to increase automation for continuous monitoring.
COBIT (Control Objectives for Information and Related Technologies) is a cybersecurity framework that integrates a business’s best aspects to its IT security, governance, and management. ISACA (Information Systems Audit and Control Association) developed and maintains the framework. The COBIT cybersecurity framework is useful for companies aiming at improving production quality and at the same time, adhere to enhanced security practices. The factors that led to the creation of the framework are the necessity to meet all stakeholder cybersecurity expectations, end to end procedure controls for enterprises, and the need to develop a single but integrated security framework.
FISMA (Federal Information Systems Management Act) is a framework designed for federal agencies. The compliance standard outlines a set of security requirements that government agencies can use to enhance their cybersecurity posture. The security standards aim at ascertaining that federal agencies implement adequate measures for protecting critical information systems from different types of attacks. Moreover, the framework requires vendors or third-parties interacting with a government agency to conform to the stipulated security recommendations. The main aim of the security standard is to enable federal agencies to develop and maintain highly effective cybersecurity programs. To achieve this, the standard consists of a comprehensive cybersecurity framework with nine steps for securing government operations and IT assets.
Call us today and let’s talk about how we can help you!
NY DFS (New York Department of Financial Services) is a cybersecurity framework that covers all institutions operating under DFS registrations, charters, or licenses. The framework consists of several cybersecurity requirements that can enhance the security postures of financial organizations and the third parties they interact with for different businesses. Among others, NY DFS requires organizations to identify security threats that can affect their networks or information systems. Also, the framework necessitates companies to adopt sufficient security infrastructure for protecting all IT assets from the identified risks. Notwithstanding, organizations covered by the NY DFS must implement systems for detecting cybersecurity events.

French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner told U.S. lawmakers Thursday that France opposes congressional legislation under consideration that could affect European companies doing business in Iran.
With Paris taking a tougher stance against Tehran's nuclear program, Iran is expected to be the top subject of Kouchner's meetings with administration officials and lawmakers during his two day visit to Washington.
The United States is making a renewed push to tighten sanctions and Kouchner's boss, President Nicolas Sarkozy, has staked out a much tougher position on Iran than his predecessor, Jacques Chirac, since he took office.
Kouchner warned last weekend that the world should be prepared for war should Iran obtain nuclear weapons. He later backtracked a bit, saying: "Everything must be done to avoid war."
At a news conference President George W. Bush was asked about Kouchner's statement and said: "I have consistently stated I am hopeful we can convince the Iranian regime to give up" any nuclear ambitions it has."
France also has been pushing recently for EU sanctions against Iran that would target the credit, insurance and financial sectors.
After a meeting with members of the House of Representatives' Foreign Affairs Committee, Kouchner said the discussion was friendly and wide ranging, but that he had expressed France's disagreement with legislation the House passed earlier this year.
The bill's prospects are uncertain, but if it passes the Senate and is signed by the president, it would expand existing sanctions on Iran to include business in that nation's liquefied natural gas and petrochemical industries. It would make export credit agencies, insurers and other financial institutions subject to sanctions for investment in Iran's energy industry.
"We disagreed on a certain amount on the sanctions and for their to be sanctions against companies," Kouchner said in French.
After meeting with the House lawmakers, Kouchner also visited with Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Russia has a unique weapon that can destroy any enemy, Nikolai Patrushev, Secretary of the Security Council said


Panaji: Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar on Saturday denied media reports that he quit as Defence Minister due to "pressure" over the Kashmir issue, but Opposition parties lashed out at the BJP leader, accusing him of being "anti-national" and a "bhagoda" (deserter).
All India Congress Committee Secretary Girish Chodankar said the only thing Parrikar had learnt from Pakistan, during his stint as Defence Minister, was staging coups, referring to the 'coup' staged by the BJP, which upstaged the Congress to come to power in Goa last month.
"The Congress believes that securing the borders of the country are more important that becoming Chief Minister of Goa. Parrikar's return to Goa is an 'anti-national' act. He has clearly run away from the Defence Ministry. In fact, Parrikar was the worst Defence Minister India has ever had," Chodankar told reporters at a press conference in Panaji at the party's state headquarters.
"The only thing Parrikar has learnt from Pakistan as Defence Minister is how to stage coups, which are popular in Pakistan, where the army dethrones popularly elected governments. No wonder Parrikar staged a coup in Goa, where he led the BJP to power using unfair means," Chodankar said.
Reports in a section of the media on Friday quoted Parrikar as saying that he had quit his sensitive central ministry brief because of pressures generated by the Kashmir crisis, among other issues.
Parrikar on Saturday took to Twitter to post a clarification, saying the news report was "factually incorrect".
The BJP media cell in Goa said the Chief Minister had been misquoted.
"This is to clarify that Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar has never given any such statement that he had pressure of any sort working as Defence Minister," a statement issued by the Goa BJP media cell stated, adding that the senior BJP leader was "willing to take on any challenge in Goa and also at the national level".
The Aam Aadmi Party in a statement issued here called Parrikar a "self-admitted bhagoda".
"Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar's claim in public that it was the pressure of running the Defence Ministry, in particular the vexed Kashmir issue, that got to him and facilitated his grabbing the opportunity to return to Goa politics is a self-admission that he is a bhagoda," the AAP said in a statement.

Did you know that modern school uniforms made an appearance in the 16th century? Uniforms have existed for a long time. However, even to this day school uniforms are required in many schools. This can show that school uniforms were invented for many reasons. Students should wear school uniforms because uniforms make students focus on their studies, reflect school unity and sprite, and increase student’s safety.
School uniforms can make students focus on their studies, rather than their fashion.
A bulletin published by the National Association of Secondary School Principals stated that ” When all students are wearing the same outfit, they are less concerned about how they look and how they fit in with their peers; thus, they can concentrate on their schoolwork.” Most students, especially teenagers will probably find a way to gain popularity through fashion or the hottest trends, which will surely disturb their focus on education. Some get pressured for not being able to keep up with the trends.
Wearing a uniform would prevent that because everyone would be wearing the same thing and you can’t judge who is wearing the best outfit. Overall students might even perform better at school because their factor of not paying attention in class was eliminated. Schools are not fashion shows and uniforms can maintain that statement.
School uniforms also show school spirit and unity. A study from Oxford Brookes University found that uniforms ” often directly contributed to a feeling of school pride.” An example is during sports tournaments between schools.
The matching color jerseys or uniforms can show school spirit. Just have a look at our school’s sports games. Wearing something similar let students feel united and have a sense of satisfaction in how they look and their school. This is how school uniforms can make students feel unity and sprite.
Not just that, school uniform increases student safety. It can prevent gang members from displaying gang color or insignia and maintain a safe environment. FL School Board member Jay Wheeler reported that his country’s schools had a 46% drop in gang activity after their first full school year with a mandatory uniform policy. Schools can also easily identify intruders who should not be present on the school campus because they aren’t in the specified uniforms. That can alert teachers and students to take safety measures that can keep them safe. Without school uniforms, the school campus won’t really be that safe.
Counterargument: Of course, when there are pros there are cons as well.
School uniforms are only worn during school times. There is plenty of time for students to express themselves after school or at the weekends. Uniforms do not silence voices or stop you from being you. Adding colorful accessories or different hairstyle options are another way to express yourself, even with uniforms. Besides, you should be able to express yourself through the ways of how you talk, act, and what you do.
It may seem that way but by paying that one price, the uniform can last the year. Some students only require two sets of uniforms for the whole week. It can also save parents money because they don’t need to buy brand name clothing.
Not all of them. When deciding the uniform, the authorized person of the school would try many designs and find the pros and cons in them. When doing that I’m sure they will try to keep the uniforms as comfortable as they can. Some schools in Japan have a different uniform for different seasons(winter uniform for winter season). Other schools have air-conditioned classrooms or electrical fans.
They can only do that after they found out the uniform policy, which can take time. Intruders can get in much easier without school uniforms too.
The clothes students chose are more likely to have issues than clothes that were designed by multiple people of an organization, also known as a school.
School uniforms should be worn by students. With uniforms, the school is not going to be a fashion show and you can focus more on your education. You can have a school spirit in your school and reflect unity. The campus is much safer too. Schools already have a restriction on what to wear, so why not just wear uniforms? Uniforms are something school needs and something students should want as they make a good cause in our lives. Therefore, students should wear school uniforms.

text: Among the prominent citizens of this city is Ellis Briggs, the present mayor. He is a native of Litchfield county, Conn., born April 25, 1839, and is the son of Ellis and Clarissa A. (Lawrence) Briggs. His father was a pattern-maker, and died at Joliet in 1864. In 1849 he removed to Cuyhoga county, Ohio, and six years later to Cook county, Ill., where he lived until removing to Joliet. Mrs. Clarissa Briggs died in the same city in 1877. Ellis attended district school in three different states, and, after finishing his education, commenced life as a fireman on the O. & M. R. R. in 1857. he was next employed as a brakeman on the C. & A. R. R., and some time afterward as section foreman on the same road. He next was appointed as conductor of a construction train, from that position to that of freight conductor, and then to that of a passenger conductor. Prior to this, however, Mr. Briggs had, with patriotism, enlisted, April, 1861, in Co. F, 20th Ill. Inf., and served over three years, being mustered out at Atlanta, Ga., in July, 1864. He participated in many engagements and was wounded in the arm by a ball, and the thigh by a piece of a shell, during the battle of Shiloh. At the battle of Thompson's Hill, he was again wounded in the arm, about an inch from the place where hit before. Also received wounds in his lower limbs, and still carries the lead in them. On returning he resumed his place on the C. & A. R. R., remaining until 1867, when he was engaged as contractor on the line of that road, between White Hall and Godfrey, and Alton and St. Louis, and other branches. He then moved to Texas and became roadmaster on the I. & G. N. R. R., remaining about a year, when he took a contract to build the viaduct and iron drawbridge over Buffalo bayou, at Houston, Texas, and afterward, built 50 miles of an extension of the I. & G. N. R. R. to Columbia, on the Brazos river. He returned to Illinois in 1874, and after about a year's residence in Petersburg, came to Roodhouse in the spring of 1876, since being prominently identified with its interests. About this time he built a large mill and elevator, which was burned down in 1877, but he immediately rebuilt the mill, this time of brick, it being known as the Victor mill. He, in 1876, bought a farm of 120 acres, now within the city limits, upon which he erected one of the finest residences in the city. He also owns considerable other property here. He was the first mayor of the city, and has held the office over four years, most efficiently. In 1866, he was married to Mattie DE., daughter of Joel and Charlotte S. (Cory) Terry. They are the parents of two children - George E., born Nov. 20, 1869; and Gertrude M., born April 29, 1876. Mr. Briggs is a member of White Hall lodge, No. 83, A.F. & A.M., of Carrollton chapter, and of Hospitaller commandery, No. 341, of Jacksonville. He is also a member of Roodhouse lodge, No. 681, I.O.O.F., of the K. of P., and A.O.U.W. fraternities, and of the G.A.R., and is one of the Democratic Veterans. He is quite an important factor in the political life in this section of the sate. He was the choice of the people of Greene county for the state senatorship made vacant by the death of F. M. Bridges, and was the delegate from here to the national convention that nominated the present president of the United States. In every position, either public, political or private, he has been governed by motives that makes him a favorite of the people of this county.


Peter Molyneux’s just announced the first project from 22 Cans called Curiosity.
Molyneux said in a brief chat with Geoff Keighley that the project would launch in six weeks for PC and iOS. Players will approach the cube and then tap it to attempt to break into it.
Slides were shown that feature a black box with a green glow within.
But every part you break away it is actually part of thousands of smaller cubes. And the kicker? Every other person using the app will be breaking into the cube.
More is expected on the project in the next few days.
Molyneux formed 22 Cans back in March after he departed Lionhead as co-founder and Microsoft as the latter’s creative director of Microsoft Studios Europe.

Welcome to another new week of Seductive Studs & Sirens, a weekly bloghop for authors and bloggers of LGBT fiction.
This weeks excerpt is from my WIP~ The Legend of the Diamond Globe
|Meet Eri Akari|
Cheveyo shook his head, the moans of his lover’s emanated from the bathroom, the sounds rose and fell like the tides of the sea, he forced himself to concentrate on the task at hand and dismiss the temptation of joining them. Rerouting the IP addresses, although not a monumental task if you knew what you were doing, could be mind -consuming, so focus was essential. He extricated himself from the chair and closed the bathroom door in hopes to drown the sounds.
As he typed he thought back to all those years ago when he first met Eri and Adolfo. The two men had been lovers for just over a year and trained in Hawaii when Cheveyo met them. His ship docked in the Pearl Harbor port. On a seventy-two hour furlough, Cheveyo decided to finally get the finishing touches on his beloved tattoo. As a Native American, most would assume that his tattoo would be a fierce land beast; wolf, bear. But Cheveyo loved the sea and the whale was a mighty ocean creature. His choice solidified.

Reviews forSouthern-Fried Baked Steak
"Very tasty , tender steak. The onion gravy was delicious over mashed potatoes. I will definately make this again!"
"This recipe reminds me of good roast beef. The meat was tender and flavorful. The breading, however, fell off the steaks sometime during cooking and left blobs of unseasoned flour in the gravy. To fix it, I strained out the blobs and onions, and we had a nice, flavorful "roast beef" dinner. Maybe I did something wrong."
"I make this with venison steak, and they ALWAYS turn out fall apart tender. Also, I mix the salt and pepper in with the flour, to save a step.This is one of my husbands favorite meals."
"My husband said it was "different" and soon asked for more. Put it in before we left for church and had lunch ready when we got back!"
"This is excellent! Very tasty & flavorfull. One of our favorites. This recipe I keep to myself- don't want to share or tell where I got it from."

The earliest recorded type of hot water bottle was the bed warmer. Going back to the 16th century these where filled with embers from the fire and placed into a metal pan with a lid over the top to protect against sparks leaping out and setting the bedding on fire. Many still survive today and can be seen in copper form with long wooden handles that helped move the hot pan across the bed to warm all corners. These early bed warmers made it easy to take hot charcoal or embers direct from the fire to heat up the metal pan. Some had perforated air vents to let out more heat and most where decorated with motifs, family crest or motto's. Very popular at the time and mass manufactured so many still survive today, if in good condition can still be used today. Often found in antique shops and fairs and when cleaned up these old bed warmers make great decorator pieces.
Earthenware potteries produced large stoneware bed warmers also called a foot warmers as an new alternative way to keep warm. The stoneware example below was made by Langley Ware of England. Often the stone cap would be replaced with a cork alternative to seal the water, this example below has it's original stone cap and in excellent condition. Because they were mass produced around the country by local potters and being very robust many survived so the antique value is not great. Many of the stoneware examples are still in use today and will be for years to come!
Hot water was also regularly used in glass or ceramic pots using cork seals to keep watertight. To avoid knocking and intense heat these would be wrapped in a towel or blanket and placed carefully in position. Few glass types survive today but ceramic containers continued in production for many years well into the 20th century. Other examples are boots hot water bottle made in copper, brass or tin provided a novelty value to a household utility item of the day.When did it change?
The modern day one we all use and love has the motor industry to thank! Charles Goodyear started the ball rolling with the invention of vulcanised rubber. This led to many new uses for rubber, one of which was the hot water bottle , rubber is an ideal medium to contain hot water and transfer heat directly to source.Who was first with a rubber hot water bottle?
In 1903 Slavoljub Eduard Penkala (April 20, 1871 – February 5, 1922) a naturalised Croatian engineer first patented the "Termofor" a rubber hot water bottle. Born to a Polish father and Dutch mother he was a serial inventor with many great inventions to his name. From that first 1903 patent they quickly spread around the globe and became a common household item. Now over a 100 years later improved production techniques means they have evolved to meet the demands of a younger generation across the world.What's the latest news?
Over the years the original rubber type continued to be in use around the world. Newer types entered the market with grain filled containers that can be any shape to suit the purpose, electric blankets and heat pads . Whilst these have given many new uses and greater choice the traditional bottle is making a strong comeback. Allergy free PVC products, TPU and the latest Eco bio degradable hot water bottle has been developed for those with latex allergies and phthalate free for young children. Novelty shapes and sizes with the latest long bottle has given greater choice of styles and colour along with fashion and designer covers to match the latest in fashion and decor.
UK safety standards has been used within the EU in the form of British Safety Standard. This was also applied in Australia and now their new Trade Practices (Consumer Product Safety) is based on BS1970. The latest hot water bottle will have undergone vigorous independent testing by TUV testing lab, branded ones are further certified to ISO 9001 and CE.

“Teachers who are stressed, unhappy, and unsupported by their peers
are more inclined to treat their students with disrespect.”[i]
At Pace we know, through our understanding of trauma, that we are sponges for our peer’s emotional states, whether we want to be or not. And as we all know, children are even “spongier” than adults. They absorb our energy – whether positive or negative. How we talk to each other creates a “climate” that can be pleasant and respectful or can be clique-ish and unfriendly.
In a recent article in Educational Leadership: Respect-Where Do We Start?, Marie-Nathalie Beaudoin, makes a strong case that the adult culture of a school is key to developing respectful students. But as simple as this insight sounds, it’s not easy to change the culture of any group of adults, and even harder to change a culture where the adults are constantly under pressure to interact positively with children. Their needs and behaviors can overwhelm even the most cheerful disposition.
Why is it so hard for people to stay positive? Ms. Beaudoin, who uses brain research to make her point, says that “It’s easy for people to dwell on negative affective states because, according to neuroscientists, there are more neural networks in the brain associated with negative affect than with positive affect (Baumeister, Bratslavsky, Finkenauer, & Vohs, 2001); some scientists even speculate that these may be in the ratio of 5 to 1.”[ii]
Her suggestion: start by evaluating the conversation in the lunchroom. Are people talking about their problems? Are they complaining to each other or engaging in “one-ups-man-ship” about the latest student horror story? Are they talking about the work or are they talking about each other’s interests and lives? »Read More

Because of privacy issues, many medical institutions will not release any information regarding the health case without the written consent of the relative. It is good to make sure that the relative or elderly parent has given the right permissions to the medical doctors and hospitals that they may use and that it is okay to discuss the case with you. The parent may also feel that your involvement in their medical issues is an infringement on their independence and abilities, so often it is difficult to do these things ahead of time.

Why are there so many people talking about sourdough, what is that all about? my mum asked me one day 😬
As we approach the winter solstice, Mother Earth reminds us with a delightful rain that winter has arrived. The temperatures drop, darkness descends earlier, and the days feel shorter. While some may find winter and cold unbearable, for me, it’s a magical season filled with contrasts and colors. The sight of dry leaves scattered on the ground, the rejuvenating rain breathing life back into the earth and its creatures, and the majestic mountains blanketed in snow that secure water for the coming summer, all create a captivating tapestry.
Winter mornings are meant for cozy indulgences like hot showers, savoring comforting soups, relishing in sopaipillas, and sipping coffee while engrossed in a good book wrapped in a thick, warm blanket.
For the adventurous souls, it’s time to get hands deep in dough. There’s no better season for baking than winter. After all, who wants to bake bread or ginger cookies in December with temperatures soaring at 31°C? That’s something for our friends in the northern hemisphere to ponder. As for me, I delight in the art of baking, exploring a myriad of delectable treats, but lately, my heart leans more towards the art of crafting sourdough bread above all else.
A living ferment made of water and flour
One day, my mum curiously asked, “What’s the deal with sourdough?” I smiled and replied, explaining that it’s a living ferment crafted from water and flour. Excitedly, I delved into its origins and various uses. Eager to share my passion, I handed her one of my perfectly baked breads. However, her reaction was less enthusiastic, as she wrinkled her nose and commented, “This tastes like vinegar. Has it gone bad?”
I chuckled and admitted that it had slightly over-fermented during its night in the refrigerator. But to me, that tangy flavor was just right. It had become an acquired taste. It made me realize that while sourdough had become a cherished part of my culinary journey, for others, it was an unfamiliar and peculiar taste.
Our taste buds had been conditioned by chemically treated foods, favoring the shiny, fluffy white bread with its perfect smooth crust that has become the norm. How the world had turned upside down! The simple, traditional bread made with organic whole grain flours and natural yeast without any additives, as our ancestors did for centuries, is now an exception rather than the rule. It’s astonishing how industrialization has influenced our preferences, leading us to choose synthetic and toxic options over natural and organic ones.
But we must return to our roots. It took some time to acclimate my family to sourdough bread. In Spanish, my mother tongue the term “sourdough” does not sound quite appealing, so a clever alternative emerged and we call it “Masa madre” (mother-dough).
But what makes it so special?
Foreigners, particularly those from Nordic countries, have been ahead of the curve in embracing natural and organic options. For decades, they have cherished “Sourdough” or simply artisan bread, as it’s referred to in many places. It’s high time we appreciate and embrace the goodness of this ancient and flavorful delight once again.
To begin with, a high-quality sourdough bread is crafted from whole grain flours or a combination of untreated flours, devoid of excessive chemicals. Unlike white flours, which are laden with numerous unpronounceable additives like calcium propionate, amylase, chlorine dioxide, sodium metabisulfite, L-cysteine hydrochloride, calcium stearoyl-2-lactylate (SSL), sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate (CSL), distilled monoglyceride, and countless others. These additives serve various purposes, such as preventing clumping, hindering mold growth, enhancing texture, promoting whiteness, prolonging shelf life, and improving visual appeal.
While these chemicals are generally approved by health authorities in some countries. It doesn’t take a scientist to grasp that long-term consumption of such additives can have adverse effects on our well-being.
In contrast, an excellent sourdough bread is primarily composed of whole grains, containing only flour, water, and salt. Along with a sourdough starter that hosts wild yeasts. The dough is then left to ferment for about 4 to 24 hours, depending on the surrounding temperature and humidity (or the controlled fermentation chamber). Upon baking with a touch of steam, the loaves expand, creating beautiful shapes, crumb, and crusts while revealing the craftsmanship of the process.
“Once you learn to appreciate it, the flavor and crunch become a delightful addiction in every bite.“
After undergoing long hours of fermentation, these breads undergo a molecular transformation, turning into a much more easily digestible food for the human digestive system. This process can be likened to the difference between eating an unripe fruit versus a ripe one; the ripe fruit, which has already undergone fermentation or decomposition, not only tastes better but is also far gentler on our digestion. Nature’s wisdom, honed over billions of years, teaches us valuable lessons, and we should always be willing to learn from it. In general, fermented foods are beneficial for health, although over-fermentation may carry some risks to a certain extent.
In the realm of bread, sourdough, when consumed in moderation, stands out as a healthier option compared to its heavily processed counterpart, the suspiciously perfect looking sliced bread.
For several years now, sourdough bread has been a staple in my diet. It all began when I received a diagnosis of autoimmune diseases and decided to eliminate gluten from my meals to alleviate inflammation in my body. Initially, I exclusively consumed sourdough bread for quite some time. However, circumstances eventually led me to make the difficult decision of completely eliminating gluten from my diet. As much as it pained me, I had to bid farewell to the beloved sourdough bread that had become a cherished part of my culinary journey.
The Hidden History
The history of wheat gluten’s evolution is widely acknowledged and debated, leaving no room for doubt that today’s wheat grains differ significantly from their counterparts of 50 years ago. With genetic modifications designed to withstand various environmental challenges such as temperature fluctuations, fungi, and pests, modern grains have acquired an unparalleled toughness that poses a challenge for the human digestive system, especially if it’s already compromised.
In ancient times, around 50 years ago and further back, the wheat fields were meticulously threshed, and the harvested wheat piles were left in the field until a truck arrived to collect them. Subsequently, these grains would make their way to the mills, where they awaited their turn to be transformed into flour. During this natural process, moisture-laden grains tended to germinate, resulting in molecular transformations that enriched them with bioavailable nutrients. Just look at the vegans and their love for sprouts, showcasing the value of such nutrient-rich grains in the past.
However, contrast this with today’s mechanized processes. Mega-truck factories sweep through the fields, rapidly threshing the grains with efficiency, but leaving little time for rest and germination. Instead, sealed bags of flour emerge from the other end, replete with chemicals and additives. This modern industrialization demonstrates a total lack of respect for the precious gifts of nature that nourish us. Unfortunately, these hardened grains have not evolved in harmony with the human digestive system. Their indigestibility poses a risk to our intestines, and even a tiny particle of modern gluten entering the bloodstream can trigger inflammation and pave the way for chronic and autoimmune diseases.
Gluten-Free Sourdough Options
It’s crucial for us to reflect on how our food production processes have evolved and how they may impact our health and well-being in the long run. Embracing the wisdom of nature and respecting the symbiotic relationship between food and our bodies can lead us toward a healthier, happier future.
With a tinge of sadness, I bid farewell to sourdough bread for what seemed like an eternity. Even now, I yearn for scientific research that could conclusively unveil whether fermented gluten from sourdough truly poses harm. While I cannot assert anything definitively, I’ve learned that when in doubt, it’s always wiser to err on the side of caution.
As I embarked on this journey of dietary transformation, I gradually replaced the wheat flour delights with an array of gluten-free cereals. From rice and quinoa to certified oats, buckwheat, and a medley of starches derived from yucca, potato, and corn, not to mention the plethora of flours extracted from seeds like flaxseed, chia, sunflower, and sesame. My kitchen became a canvas for experimenting with these diverse ingredients.
My own gluten-free sourdough starter
Curiosity led me to wonder if I could cultivate a sourdough starter with some of these alternative flours. So, I delved into research, embarking on my Google quest. After visiting numerous websites and consuming countless YouTube videos, I managed to fashion my own rice and quinoa sourdough starter. It brought me immense joy, akin to an earthworm relishing the aftermath of a refreshing rainfall.
Yet, the road to creating gluten-free bread proved far from straightforward. The familiar laws that governed the kingdom of gluten no longer held sway in this realm. The aspirations of witnessing a beautifully plump, inflated, and crispy bread seemed elusive without gluten’s support. But I was undeterred. Experimenting with a medley of cereal flours, I found a path to a gratifying taste. By employing a binding agent, I learned how to encapsulate the precious CO2 bubbles in the gluten-free sourdough. After countless trials and errors, my efforts bore fruit in the form of loaves that, while not on par with the traditional sourdough, were nonetheless delicious and fluffy. Most importantly, I could savor them without the slightest worry of gluten causing harm.
Venturing into Gluten-Free Sourdough
The dawn of gluten-free sourdough bread heralds a ray of hope for individuals afflicted with celiac disease and those who exhibit sensitivity to gluten, including myself. This groundbreaking frontier in the world of baking has captivated the hearts of countless enthusiasts scattered across the globe, all diligently perfecting their techniques to craft a bread that not only matches but surpasses the delightful flavors of traditional sourdough.
Within the walls of my workshop, I have passionately devoted my time and effort to crafting not one, not two, but three exquisite gluten-free sourdough bread recipes. With my very own “quality control department”, my dear mother, agerly tasting each creation and proclaiming them “truly divine,” I have every reason to believe that these recipes are poised to captivate the taste buds of bread aficionados everywhere.
In anticipation of a brighter future, I extend a heartfelt invitation to each and every one of you to grace my workshop’s doorstep once the shadow of quarantine has finally dissipated. Together, we shall delve into the artistry of gluten-free breadmaking, exploring its nuances and unraveling its delicious secrets.

Until the stars align and we meet again, dear friends, may your spirits remain high and your cravings be sated by the promise of what lies ahead.
Regrettably, in June 2022, I had to make the difficult decision to close the doors of my beloved gluten-free sourdough and ferment workshop. The relentless impact of the pandemic and the relentless rise of inflation rendered it impractical to sustain the cherished project. Nevertheless, I refused to let my passion and knowledge go to waste. Instead, I channeled all my experience and unwavering enthusiasm into creating something enduring – my comprehensive gluten-free sourdough bread guide available in PDF on our website and in English on Amazon.

A rabid raccoon attacked a Powder Springs family’s pet dog, and a kitten with rabies bit two veterinary technicians and scratched the husband and wife who found it, Cobb authorities say.
The raccoon attacked the dog at the Powder Springs family’s home on Tommy Drive in southwest Cobb on Jan. 21, Cobb County Communications Director Ross Cavitt told the MDJ on Thursday.
The pet dog had a current rabies vaccination, Cavitt said, but “there was also possible exposure to the family because the husband killed the raccoon and there was saliva and blood from the raccoon on the dog.”
A week earlier, on Jan. 15, a rabid kitten was found at a Baskin Drive property in Marietta by a husband and wife who took it to a veterinary clinic, Cavitt said, where it bit two technicians.
“The kitten also scratched the husband and wife who found the kitten,” Cavitt said.
The rabies cases were reported by Cobb County Animal Control to Cobb and Douglas Public Health.
Cavitt said other than the two recent cases of confirmed rabies in Cobb, it has been a slow time for such calls, particularly compared to summer months.
Regardless, the local public health department is encouraging residents to be careful and take immediate steps to reduce contact with potentially rabid animals.
A raccoon in Douglas County also tested positive for rabies, Cobb and Douglas Public Health stated in a news release Thursday.
Rabies is caused by a virus that animals and people can get through exposure to the saliva or nervous tissue from a rabid animal, the news release stated, adding it is nearly 100% fatal without proper care following exposure.
“Because survival is so rare following clinical signs of the virus, individuals exposed to or suspecting exposure from an animal bite should receive immediate medical attention to assess the need for vaccination and report the exposure to local animal control,” the health department said.
All rabid animals found in Cobb County are euthanized and safely disposed of to prevent the spread of the disease, Cavitt said.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates around 40,000 U.S. residents are potentially exposed to rabies each year, requiring up to two weeks of post-exposure vaccinations.
Keeping pets, including cats and dogs, up to date on vaccinations is the best way to help prevent rabies in humans and domestic animals, per the health department.
Rabies Prevention Tips
A♦ ll dogs, cats and ferrets should be vaccinated against rabies. Consider vaccinating valuable livestock and horses. Animals that have frequent contact with humans should be vaccinated.
♦ Pet owners can reduce the possibility of pets being exposed to rabies by not letting them roam free.
♦ Spaying or neutering a pet may reduce any tendency it might have to roam or fight, thus reducing the chance it will be exposed to rabies.
Don’t feed pets outside. Even empty bowls will attract wild and stray animals.♦
♦ K♦ eep garbage securely covered. Open garbage will also attract wild or stray animals.
♦ Wild animals such as raccoons, bats and foxes should not be kept as pets.
♦ Enjoy all wild animals from a distance and teach children never to handle unfamiliar animals, even if they appear friendly.
♦ If a wild animal is seen acting aggressively, report it to city or county animal control officials.
♦ Report all animal bites to local animal control — Cobb County Animal Control at 770-499-4136 and Douglas County Animal Control at 770-942-5961.

I have been dating a man for a year and a half. He has never been married and doesn't have any kids. My girls are 6 and 14. He feels he should be able to interact and have decisions in their lives. He even feels that if I don't agree with the "rule" he believes in and knows is "right," I should still follow his thought and discipline accordingly. We have discussed marriage, but we are not engaged and we do not live together. My question: How much involvement should he have with my kids?
are your children's parent and it is your right and obligation to establish your family's values, rules and discipline without being badgered by your boyfriend to do these things his
way. Any positive, supportive and caring interaction with your kids on the part of your boyfriend is a plus, as long as it complements how you are parenting your children. But it appears that this man's philosophy is "it's my way or the highway" when it comes to parenting decisions.
Your kids should not be subjected to this man's orders, discipline or negative comments about them or their behavior. You will not be able to change his ways by marrying him. There will only be more of this behavior in the future, especially if you marry. You are your children's champion and advocate and their well-being is your top priority. I suggest that you strongly reconsider maintaining a relationship with a man who bullies you about discipline issues.

The Labrador Retriever is generally a healthy and hardy breed but they are prone to certain illnesses and injuries. One of the most common orthopedic problems seen in this breed is ACL injuries. Keep reading to learn more about how these injuries occur and what can be done to treat them.
Symptoms and Causes of CCL Injuries
The cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) is the ligament that connects the back of a dog’s femur bone to the front of the tibia – it is similar to the ACL in humans. This ligament is responsible for stabilizing the dog’s knee joint and for keeping the tibia in place. Injuries to the CCL are one of the most common orthopedic problems seen in dogs and certain breeds like the Labrador Retriever have an increased risk for this type of injury. Obesity increases the risk of CCL injury in dogs as does occasional strenuous exercise. Male dogs that are altered before 5 months of age seem to have a higher risk for developing CCL injuries as adults and about 50% of dogs that experience CCL injury in one leg develop the same condition in the opposite leg.
The most obvious symptom of CCL injury in Labradors is lameness in one of the hind legs. The severity of the lameness could vary depending on the severity of the injury – there may be just a hint of impairment or the dog could be completely unable to bear weight on the injured leg. The dog may also exhibit swelling on the inside of the knee. In order to diagnose a CCL injury, your veterinarian will hold the femur in place and pull on the tibia – if the tibia can be pulled forward it is generally a sign of a torn CCL (this is called a “drawer sign”). Your vet may also use x-rays to confirm diagnosis.
Treatment Options and Recovery
If left untreated, the lameness caused by a ruptured or partially torn CCL will sometimes go away or show signs of improvement within three to six weeks. Even so, however, the weakened ligament will cause the bones in the leg to rub against each other which could lead to the development of arthritis, bone spurs, and decreased range of motion. This is particularly common in medium- to large-sized breeds like the Labrador Retriever. Non-surgical treatments for this condition do exist but they generally only work for dogs weighing less than 30 pounds. For Labradors, surgery is generally the best option for complete recovery. The rehabilitation period usually lasts at least 8 weeks during which the dog’s movement needs to be restricted in order to facilitate healing.
Injuries to the CCL in Labradors can be very severe, not only in terms of impairment to the dog’s movement but also in terms of pain. Take your Lab to the vet at the first indication of potential CCL injury to prevent the condition from worsening and to get your dog the treatment he needs in order to recover.
