Today’s Old Testament chronological reading is in Job 21 and 22.
The Psalms/ Proverbs reading is in Psalm 17.
The New Testament reading is in Matthew 13.
Hebrew root words.
Receive, please, instruction from His mouth, and lay up His words in your heart. Job 22:22
They have closed up their fat hearts … Psa 17:10
Job 22:22 To receive. Strong’s H3947 laqach; simply, to receive that which has been given.
Job 22:22 To lay up. Strong’s H7760 שום shuwm, a primitive root meaning, “to appoint.” The 3-letter root is shin + vav + mem.
shin ש = two front teeth, thus sharp, press, eat, two, again
vav ו = the tent peg, thus add, secure, hook
mem מ, ם = the water, thus chaos, mighty, blood
The story: The breath (shin, as that which passes through the teeth) which hooks (vav) water (mem, in the form of vapor) with it and is expelled from the body to the outside. In just this way a man’s character is outwardly expressed from that which is laid up within his heart.
Psa 17:10 Fat heart. Strong’s H2459 cheleb, a concrete noun meaning, “fat;” from an unused, unnamed root meaning, “to be fat.” The 3-letter root of the noun is chet + lamed + bet.
chet ח = the wall, thus outside, divide, half
lamed ל = the shepherd’s staff, thus teach, yoke, to, bind
bet ב = the house, thus house, household, family, in, within
The story: To have an enclosure surrounding (chet) the heart (lamed + bet). A spiritual fat heart is the same as a closed heart. It is walled off, and the Word of God cannot enter. A fat heart is death to the spiritual man just as a fat heart is death to the physical man.
Mat 13:18-23, Parable of the Sower Chiastic Structure.
1A) 3:18-19A Hear, then, the parable of the farmer. When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and DOESN’T UNDERSTAND IT;
1B) 13:19B The evil one comes and SNATCHES AWAY that which has been sown in his heart (i.e., THE WORD);
1C) 13:19C This is what was SOWN BY THE ROADSIDE;
1D) 13:20 What was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word and IMMEDIATELY WITH JOY RECEIVES IT;
CENTRAL AXIS) 13:21A YET HE HAS NO ROOT IN HIMSELF, BUT ENDURES FOR A WHILE;
2D) 13:21B When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, IMMEDIATELY HE STUMBLES;
2C) 13:22A What was SOWN AMONG THE THORNS;
2B) 13:22B This is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age and the deceitfulness of riches CHOKE THE WORD, and he becomes unfruitful;
2A) 13:23 What was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word and UNDERSTANDS IT, who most certainly bears fruit and produces, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
What does it mean to receive His Word? We take it in, and accept it. We believe it is true. We believe it is true and put our trust in it, which is to say, we put our trust in Him who spoke it and proclaimed it a true Word, even when things get difficult as they got for Job. We don’t reject it or cast it away from us, because of momentary affliction which seems to disprove its veracity (seems is important – look it up!). The key is to understand it, and the key to understanding it, is to cultivate the depth of soil in our hearts. We do this by feeding our heart on it daily as we feed our body on food daily.
Listen, I am a teacher of the Word and so I appreciate that gift the Spirit has given to the Body. But do not consider watching the words of a teacher on You Tube or reading the words of a teacher – even these words – the same as reading or hearing the actual Word of God for yourself, straight from the Bible. His Words are powerful, living, active, and life-giving; my words are just man’s words. A teacher’s words on You Tube are just man’s words no matter how anointed. A teacher’s words cannot rise to the level of the living and active Word of God. We cannot cultivate depth of soil on man’s words, but on God’s Word only.
Then we water our hearts with even more Word of God (the Bible again), asking the Holy Spirit, the Teacher (who is poured out onto our hearts, as rain is poured out onto the ground to cause it to spring forth growth) to help us understand it. It is admittedly a process. There are some things in the Word of God that I am only just now beginning to understand … that is after reading it year by year for over 50 years! Being faithful to cultivate the soil of our hearts will pay off, just as it pays off in the soil of our gardens. It takes a persistent attitude of receiving what is written as true, and storing it up in the heart, to cultivate that rich, loamy soil which bears fruit.
The good news is – you are in charge of the state of your heart! If it is stony, or shallow, or filled with thorns, you do not have to leave it that way. You can change it!

5 Essential Valves for Water and Sewer Mains
A plumbing system or sewer system is basically a number of fixtures that are pieced together to work seamlessly to comply with the demands of the people living in the residence. What makes the system unique is that each item placed in the system has its own function that helps the overall operation of the plumbing unit. The fixtures are connected and interlocked together that whenever one fixture is damaged, the others are affected, making the homeowner notices the signs because they are amplified with the help of other fixtures malfunctioning.
With that being said, it is imperative to make sure that there are valves in your plumbing sewage system. Valves can be akin to mini emergency units that help the homeowner put matters and problems under control when there are damages to lessen the impact and as a way to preserve what is left of the system. But, choosing a valve is much more complicated than it seems because there is a specific valve for a specific purpose. So, to aid you in selecting the perfect type of valve for your home, here are 5 of the most essential ones:
- Shut-off Valve
This is the most common type of valve you see in residential spaces. Its main purpose is to control water flow inside the pipes. It can be very useful in multiple occasions. For instance, every time there is a plumbing emergency because a pipe joint burst or when there is a leak along your pipe, the very first step in pipe repair is always to cut off the water supply by activating the shut-off valve. Also, when going away for a vacation, it is also a good measure to turn off the water supply as to not have any accidents in the house while you are away.
There are 4 main types of shut-off valves:
- Main Shut-off Valve
This valve controls the flow of water for the entire plumbing system. This is found near your water meter outside the home.
- Toilet Shut-off Valve
As the name suggests, this valve if for the water supply for the toilet. This is located at the lower back side of the toilet.
- Faucet Shut-off Valve
This is a specific shut-off valve that controls water flow directed towards the kitchen taps.
- Outdoor Faucet Shut-off Valve
This valve obviously controls the taps that are installed outside the home as well as those that are in the basement.
- Check Valve
This type of valve is responsible in separating the clean supply water from the dirty or contaminated ones. This valve is particularly efficient and needed for those residences that have sump pumps to make sure that the used water properly evacuated the system and is restricted entry again.
- Pressure Relief Valve
A pressure relief valve is found in water heater tanks and they are installed for safety purposes. The valve prevents explosion by freely reducing pressure and it does that through discharging of the excess water or hot air.
- Pressure Reducing Valve
This is another safety valve. A PRV is installed in order to stabilise the performance of plumbing fixtures even when the water pressure fluctuates. This happens a lot during the morning and sometimes throughout the day.
- Gas Valve
This is the safety companion whenever you have appliances at home that are gas-powered. Through this valve, you can easily open of close the gas supply. This helps a lot to prevent gas explosions and gas poisoning.

Clarendon Vale shares in housing funds
The Hobart suburb of Clarendon Vale will receive a $5 million housing boost from the Federal Government's Housing Affordability Fund.
One hundred and ten new residential lots will be created in two stages and home buyers are expected to save an average of $45,000 each.
Tasmania's Human Services Minister Lin Thorp says the money raised from the land sales will go back into social and public housing.
"Clarendon Vale is an example of a community that is very deserving of investment," she said.
"There's a high level of public housing density here.
"Both the State and the Federal Government are of one mind that it's good to reduce the density of public housing so you're not concentrating areas of disadvantage."


The powerful and riveting dancer Pepe Torres, known for his work with the award-winning ensemble Son de la Frontera, returns to New York with the debut of his acclaimed company. Raised in Andalusia's Moron de la Frontera, a hotbed of Gypsy flamenco, he toured extensively with Martirio, Antonio Canales, Sara Baras and Manuela Carrasco and appeared in the New York Flamenco Festival with Son de la Frontera (2006 and 2008) and with Farruquito and Juana Amaya (2003).
This program marks the New York premiere of Homenaje, a centennial tribute to Pepe Torres' grandfather, Gypsy flamenco singer Joselero de Moron, and to the unique contributions his family (which includes his grand uncle, guitar legend Diego del Gastor) has made to the history of flamenco. Juan del Gastor appears as guest artist.
“It was the show-stopping flamenco dance of Pepe Torres
that made Solea de Pepe the highlight of their set…
remarkable.” -The Independent (UK)

Yield farming game Cometh has joined the upcoming Play to Earn Game Festival as an event sponsor. Hosted by Play To Earn Online Magazine and powered by Gala Games’ Echoes of Empire, the festival is a “new form of game convention.”
The week-long festival starts on July 12, Play to Earn Online Magazine said in a blog. The fun-filled event is an effort to promote blockchain gaming, particularly, the play-to-earn economy.
More on Play to Earn Game Festival
The Play to Earn Game Festival will take place in the virtual world Cryptovoxels. It can be accessed via a web browser on any device. The festival is a great opportunity for blockchain gaming enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and investors to connect with the movers and shakers of the blockchain gaming and NFT space. It offers a platform to not only discover the latest play-to-earn games but also to learn more about the blend of DeFi and gaming.
First launched in November last year, the July event marks the third edition of the festival. As many as 13,000 visitors were part of the last event held in March, according to Star Atlas, another event sponsor.
From today, there will be a slew of competitions where participants can win prizes worth thousands of dollars. The festival is open 24×7 and will be rife with puzzles and giveaways.
Cometh is gaining traction
Cometh is a DeFi yield farming game set in virtual outer space. Five months after its launch on Polygon, all the game’s metrics are shooting up—sales, number of players, rewards, and transactions.
In the game, players use a spaceship NFT to intercept asteroids. Players can also use their spaceships to mine $MUST, the game’s native token. In this way, the game is doubling as an NFT game and a DeFi product, defining the future of blockchain gaming.

⏰Temperature and Time
Can you fry frozen pizza rolls?
Heat the oil until it reaches 375° F. Carefully drop four to six pizza rolls into the oil. Fry them for two to three minutes, or until golden brown. You may have to adjust your heat to keep the oil at the correct temperature.
Can you deep fat fry pizza rolls?
In an electric skillet or a deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry egg rolls, a few at a time, for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve with pizza sauce.
How long do you deep fry a frozen pizza?
Deep fry the pizza crust for 3-4 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown. Always monitor the temperature of the oil and stay close by the skillet.
Is it okay to deep fry frozen food?
Yes, it is completely safe to fry frozen food regardless of whether you use a deep fryer or the pan/pot method. However, there are certain safety guidelines that you are going to want to follow since you are working with oil, which is extremely flammable and can cause some serious burns if you are splashed.
Can you deep fry pizza pockets?
Preheat the oil to 365 degrees F. A deep-fryer is best, but if using a stove top method, fill a cast iron Dutch oven or heavy chicken fryer with oil about 4 inches deep. … Check the oil temperature and carefully add the pizza pockets. Cook for 2 minutes, turn over and cook for 1 minute more.
Can I make pizza rolls on the stove?
Starting with the long side of the dough, roll up the pizza into a log. Using a knife, carefully slice the roll into 8, equally sized pieces. Place the individual rolls into the oiled skillet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.
Can you deep fry frozen egg rolls?
Deep Frying Frozen Egg Rolls:
Heat the oil to about 375-degrees in a large pan. Unwrap the frozen egg rolls carton and drop them in the hot oil without thawing. Make sure you don’t overcrowd your pan. Now finally, deep fry your frozen egg rolls for 6 to 8 minutes or until they get brown.
Do you need to defrost before frying?
A: Yes, a thawed fry will cook faster, but at some real costs in more oil absorption and in final fry quality. When frying French fries, do not let them thaw before using. … This guarantees that the surface of the potato is sealed during the frying process, resulting in a crispy, high quality fry.
Can you put frozen chips in deep fat fryer?
DEEP FRY. Heat the oil in the pan or fryer to around 175°C / 350°F. Place your chips into the basket and let them sizzle away for 4 – 5 minutes, until they’re lovely, crisp and light golden.

Representative George Miller (D-CA) spoke at a Capitol Hill press conference on April 17 calling for a “fair minimum wage” of $10.10.
This isn’t surprising, in and of itself: Rep. Miller has been a long-time advocate of raising the minimum wage. What is surprising is who introduced him: Saru Jayaraman, co-founder of the Restaurant Opportunities Center (ROC).
ROC is an interesting group to be walking the Halls of Congress. To start, it’s currently part of an investigation by the House of Representatives for its “history of intimidation” towards opponents. There’s also the small fact that ROC has actively engaged in lobbying activities at the federal, state, and local levels, even though it has failed to fulfill its legal obligation to report such activities to the IRS.
You wouldn’t know this at first glance. Jayaraman and ROC were there to announce the creation of RAISE—“Restaurants Advancing Industry Standards in Employment”—purportedly a high-minded alternative to the National Restaurant Association. Despite its appearances, however, this new initiative is little more than another way to further ROC’s long-standing goal: “to organize the 99 percent of the [restaurant] industry that doesn’t have a union.”
ROC is a labor union front group with an 11-year history of intimidation and union-style brinksmanship against the restaurant industry. ROC vehemently denies its status as a labor union, because its appearance as a “worker center” independent from organized labor is critical to its legal existence–even though it was founded by the UNITE-HERE union in 2002.
Using this legal loophole is a shrewd move. By operating as a worker center, ROC can claim 501(c)(3) charitable organization status, which allows it to pay no taxes and to raise tax deductible contributions from foundations. ROC also pitched itself as a charity for the million dollars in taxpayer-funded grants it has received from the federal government. But more importantly, this also allows ROC to skirt federal labor laws, avoid union disclosure requirements, and use typical union tactics without the fear of government intervention.
Consider ROC’s campaign against celebrity chef Mario Batali’s New York City restaurants. Over a period of several weeks in 2010, ROC staged violent protests outside Batali’s restaurant, based on isolated allegations of employee mistreatment.
The mistreatment, however, was on ROC’s end. According to the restraining order request filed by Batali—and granted by the court—the protesters threatened and verbally assaulted patrons, physically blocked passage into the restaurants, vandalized property by destroying outside decorations, and even took pictures of diners through the window in an attempt to scare them from ever returning.
These tactics are commonplace for ROC: In one instance, the front group’s protesters used a 12-foot inflatable cockroach to scare off patrons. In some cases, ROC’s tactics have been so disruptive that employees at the targeted restaurants have staged counter-protests to show that ROC doesn’t speak for them at all.
Given this sordid history, it’s surprising that Rep. Miller would share the stage with the group’s chief representatives.
But it’s a relationship ROC has nurtured, because the group is more politically-savvy than it lets on. Restaurant intimidation campaigns are limited in scope; they can’t change national policy by themselves. That’s why just last month, ROC registered as a lobbying organization so that it can push for federal legislation including mandatory paid leave laws in the “Healthy Families Act” and a higher minimum wage in the “Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2013.”
All of this information points to an unmistakable conclusion: There was more going on at that press conference than meets the eye. ROC’s rhetoric about RAISE may sound high-minded, but its questionable history and its hidden agenda show that its claims should be taken with a grain of salt—if not the whole shaker.
Mike Paranzino is the communications director for ROC Exposed, which is supported by a broad coalition of restaurant workers, employers, and citizens concerned about ROC’s misinformation and attack campaigns against America’s restaurants.

Okay, so it's almost Christmas and you still haven't taken the family to any event where you can all get together and enjoy the same thing at the same time. Everyone in your clan is isolated with their own personal screens and doing their own thing: watching Django Unchained on Netflix, playing "Knightmare Tower" on an iPhone, giggling at the kitties on the icanhas.cheezburger website, and binging on Parks and Recreation.
But there comes a time in every family's life when two or more people arise from their screens, bump into each other on the way to the bathroom, and think, "Wait, this is a person I'm related to. Why don't we go do something together?" And that's where Mary Poppins at Beck Center comes in. It's a show anyone in your family can enjoy, of any age, and then you can all chat about it afterwards and everyone knows exactly what you're talking about. For the uninitiated, this is called a "shared experience." I know, weird, right?
So here are the Ten Best reasons to see this production of Mary Poppins:
Beck Center knows how to do holiday shows. In the past, their presentations of Beauty and the Beast and Annie have been dazzling spectacles, and this version of the flying nanny, now in its second season at Beck, is no exception.
Rebecca Pitcher is a spot-on Mary, singing the familiar Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman music with gusto. And Pitcher seems even more relaxed in the role this year, throwing the right amount of superciliousness into the tart Poppins' putdowns ("We are not a codfish, Michael!").
As Mary's comic foil Bert, Matthew Ryan Thompson is even more engaging this time around, relating more effectively with Mary and dancing up a storm in the showstopper "Step In Time."
Katherine DeBoer and Curt Arnold as mom and pop Banks, proper London parents, provide a solid base for the show, with DeBoer adding her powerful pipes to "Cherry Tree Lane" and "Being Mrs. Banks."
Even the two Banks' kids don't get on your nerves, as portrayed by Anna Barrett and Joseph Daso. These two definitely know their way around this show.
As the Bird Woman, Peggy Gibbons gives the gorgeous song "Feed the Birds" a lovely and tender interpretation, showing why this was supposedly one of Walt Disney's favorite tunes.
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. 'Nuff said.
The not-so-talented cook Mrs. Brill is given a comic edge by Nan Golz as she and the in-house handyman (Eric Dahl) keep hearth and home together until Mary unleashes her magic.
The projections designed by Mike Tutaj are a show in themselves, with various flying species (birds, Poppins, etc.) soaring across a field of open white umbrellas. It's almost enough to make you believe in airborne babysitters.
A tasty, acidic turn by Amiee Collier as Mrs. Corry, the fearsome nanny who croons an ode to the nasty concoction of "Brimstone and Treacle," which she uses to keep her youthful charges in line. It was she who, back in the day, turned Mr. Banks into a hollow shell of a man, before Mary breathes life back into him.
Once again, choreographer Martin Cespedes shows how he can fashion wonderful dance numbers even when the hoofers aren't exactly Broadway quality.
Director Scott Plate has a masterful way with bringing out the theme of a show without pounding you over the head with messaging.
There are some tiny wrinkles, such as the rather ground-based technology (a rolling staircase) used to "fly" Mary. And, of course, some of the aspects of this show have changed over the years, due to new knowledge. For instance, the song "A Spoonful of Sugar," which was once a tuneful homage to a harmless carbohydrate, can now be seen by some as an insidious invitation to fructose-poison our children.
And upon reflection, chimney sweeping doesn't seem like a charming occupation, what with the attendant dangers of falling from roofs, spontaneous bat attacks and chimney-lung disease. Not only that, hiring a nanny for your kids without references (Mary doesn't abide such things) seems like a sure route to disaster and an appearance on NBC's Dateline.
But this show, set more than a century ago and based on the Disney/Cameron Mackintosh production in London and on Broadway, can ignore all those contemporary issues and blissfully proceed. Beck Center's Mary Poppins, while not "practically perfect in every way" like the title character, is close enough to merit an initial or return visit. So couch potatoes, throw off your electronic chains and share some fun live theater with other live people!

Kids’ Spraoi festival set to be “totally awesome”!
A group of enthused pupils from St John of Gods Primary School set the SprOg ball rolling at Garter Lane Arts Centre on Thursday last, enjoying art and cupcakes at the 2019 festival’s launch.Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Class members, accompanied by their teachers, enjoyed two art sessions with Sandra Kelly, Garter Lane’s Visual Arts & Outreach Manager and children’s books illustrator Tatyana Feeney – and a good time was had by all!
The hour-long event was a precursor to the launch of SprOg’s online brochure, which will be available from Wednesday, June 5th at garterlane.ie.Sandra Kelly, a recent Garter Lane recruit, told The Munster Express: “We’re working with John of Gods this year because they’ve been such great supporters throughout the year, a great support system for the Arts Centre and for me since I started work here a few months ago; they’ve attended so many of our events and we’ve loved having them here. So this year we’re rolling out SprOg just a little bit earlier than we have previously, and we thought it would be nice to invite our friends from John of Gods to come along to launch the programme and to celebrate the fact that we’ll have our brochure ready on June 5th both for download as well as here in the Arts Centre and out and about around town.”
Sandra explained: “We’re also keen to let kids and schools alike know that SprOg is on the way; because when school breaks in the next few weeks, a lot of families will be going off on their holidays so we’re giving people a chance to mark their calendar good and early in terms of planning for the summer ahead because SprOg is such a fantastic, fun event for children, completely dedicated to children and we hope the centre here will be, like it has been in previous years, a hive of activity. We’ve a host of events, workshops, shows and a whole lot more planned; it’s the perfect build-up to Spraoi, it takes place the week before the festival so we’re happily counting down the clock to SprOg!”
This year’s SprOg will carry a particular focus on the environment and climate change, “as a way of getting kids actively engaged and informed about these huge issues,” Sandra added.
“We’ll also have workshops that have specifically tailored for children with autism, so we’re attempting to reflect the welcome trends that have been established within mainstream education in recent years, in addition to the great work which long-running programmes like the Green Flag has had in schools right across the country. In terms of climate change, we had CALMAST in here for our first exhibition of the year and within three days, we had over 500 students in to see the exhibition so that alone speaks volumes for how active school children are when it comes to learning more about major issues such as climate change and the wider environment and we’re delighted to host them here. And when it comes to making this a space that is open to everyone, be it children with autism or dyspraxia for example, this is their space too and we hope they’ll enjoy the workshops and events we’ll be running here.”
Said Tatyana Feeney, who is a member of Illustrators Ireland: “Well this is a wonderful facility and it’s a pleasure to support such an enlightened and entertaining event. Anything that promotes awareness, education and inclusion in Ireland at present ought to be championed and when you can work with schoolchildren, particularly through art and education I feel, you’re helping to mould the next generation’s social consciousness.”


transmitted through tubing to the transfer valves, and the
parking brake valve, to the wheel brake assemblies. It ac-
tuates pistons in each wheel brake assembly causing fric-
tion linings to move against a floating brake disk to stop
wheel rotation. When the helicopter is parked, the pilot or
CPG applies and maintains pressure on the brakes until
the PARK BRAKE handle (fig 2-7) can be pulled out by
the pilot to set the parking brakes. Hydraulic pressure is
maintained in the system by the compensator valves
mounted on the parking brake valve. Additional parking
brake force may be achieved by holding the PARK
BRAKE handle out and staging or pumping the brake
pedals once or twice to maximize the holding force. Re-
leasing the brake pedals before the PARK BRAKE handle
will again lock the system and maintain the higher brake
force. Either crewmember can release the parking brake
by exerting pressure on the control pedal.
2.10 FLIGHT CONTROLS.
The flight control system consists of hydromechanical
controls for the main and tail rotors and an electrical stabi-
lator. A digital automatic stabilization system (DASE) is
used to augment the controls, and provide a backup con-
trol system (BUCS). Refer to the appropriate system for
complete descriptive information.
2.11 PILOT AND CPG INDICATORS, INSTRUMENT
PANELS, CONSOLES, AND ANNUNCIATORS.
Figures 2-7 thru 2-12 provide an overview of instrumenta-
tion in both crew stations. Instruments will be discussed
with their associated systems. Flight instruments are de-
scribed in Section XIV of this chapter. Caution, warning,
and advisory lights, as well as audio warning signals, are
also discussed in Section XIV.
Indicators for management of the
helicopter systems are located on both pilot and CPG in-
strument and control panels. Refer to the applicable sys-
tem for descriptive information.

After some bizarre renewal drama where CBS sent Kara off to the CW, and which turned out to be mostly unnecessary, Supergirl is finally back on screens, and ready to introduce her cousin. Well, up to a point, anyway: It’s clearly still Kara’s show.
Supergirl‘s first season was different from DC’s other network superhero shows in that it was more directly an adaptation of Superman comics from the ’80s, just with a few twists, as opposed to the looser take of the CW shows. There were straight adaptations, like “For The Girl Who Has Everything,” of course, but there were a host of subtle nods to the ’80s comics as well. Obscure characters like the robot Kelex and the creepy genetics-obsessed Maxima weren’t just brought up as fan service, but used well so that viewers who hadn’t read the comics could follow along, while fans felt a little tug of nostalgia. And there were some great upendings of continuity: Fans who thought they knew who Hank Henshaw was were in for a heck of a surprise when his true identity was revealed.
The second season, of course, has Superman, but he’s almost superfluous. Supergirl‘s laid a rich, fascinating groundwork for Kara, Hank, Alex and the rest of the team. We’ll see what they do with it tonight at 8 p.m. EST on the CW.


World Ballet Day Sounds AMAZING
So, this is super-duper awesome: October 1st will be the first ever World Ballet Day! I know, I know—it’s not like you need another reason to celebrate the most elegant of art forms. But this is going to be a pretty amazing celebration.
Five of the world’s biggest ballet companies have teamed up to offer a crazy-good live streaming event on the 1st. Each of the troupes—the Australian Ballet, Bolshoi Ballet, Royal Ballet, National Ballet of Canada and San Francisco Ballet—will host a four-hour stream, with the link passing across time zones from Melbourne to San Fran. We’ll get peeks at all kinds of classes and rehearsals—windows into what ballet company life is like around the world. We’ll see, in other words, how all these companies speak the same ballet language with different accents.
Where did this idea come from? Well, remember last year, when the Royal Ballet hosted a nine-hour behind-the-scenes live streaming marathon? This is a replication of that idea on a larger scale. And don’t worry about waking up in the middle of the night to watch what’s happening in Melbourne: The whole day’s stream will be repeated on YouTube, just as the Royal’s broadcast was, for catch-up purposes. (And if you really miss the boat, select highlight clips will still be available after that.)
More information about World Ballet Day is apparently coming soon—stay tuned! In the meantime, check out the official trailer below, and read a little more about the project here, here, here and here.

CaDA MASTER Italian Super Car red incl. power system NEW VERSION
NEW VERSION (new gearbox)
The Master series is based on licensing copyrighted moc designs from original designers. The idea behind the Master Series is to give brick hobbyists from all over the world the chance to experience great builds from well-known moc designers, by bringing the licensed design and components together in one place and collaborating with moc designers to create more moc designs.
The Italian supercar comes in exquisite packaging that is a work of art in itself. Bruno J's nickname and signature are on the box. The C61042 set consists of 3187 pieces packed in 6 numbered boxes. A high-quality multi-color manual with the designer's self-introduction and detailed building steps, easy to follow thanks to the thoughtful design work, provides a unique and satisfying building experience.
The model itself is considered both a faithful 1/8 scale replica that deserves its place on a collector's shelf, and a functional fun RC toy at the same time. The chassis consists of 3 basic modules with a sophisticated body. The car offers excellent playability with manually opening bonnet, boot lid, glove box and doors with functional door locks. A detailed V8 cylinder engine sits at the rear next to the independent suspension. The main functions are controlled remotely: LED lighting, driving, steering and a 4-speed manual gearbox. You can see all moving parts in action without touching the car: engine pistons, steering wheel, paddle shifters and gear indicator.
• Design: designed by Bruno J, a German moc designer well known in the construction industry, scale 1:8
• Exterior and interior details: cockpit, engine compartment, steering wheel, left and right rear-view mirrors, dual seats, gear lever. Decals have been added to highlight the exterior and interior details.

Michael Deere: "Life Always Outside: Silent Pain and Singular Bodies"
Pain cares nothing for me, and yet it is always mine. This is the central paradox of pain. It ties me intimately to my body while at the same time exposing me to an outside, a limit that exceeds the space of my body. I want to explore this curious sense of pain that at once defines me and escapes me in order to clarify new possibilities for identity and community. Tracing a path through Nietzsche, Bataille and Nancy, I argue that pain exposes us to our own finite singularity and that this exposure forms the basis for understanding community (and communication) across the space of a shared mortality.

Strangelove Octopus is a comic book project that I have been working on and have rewritten and rehacked over the past few years. Now recently I have completely overhauled all this content that has strained into varying tangents and sequences that are really all part of one complete story though I was creatively separating them into different titles and varying strains of similar concept that just really all needed to be driven in one complete project.
I do the writing and the artwork for this creator owned comic project and will be releasing content as it gets completed now that I have the direction I want to take this overhauled storyline. This content will be released as I progress through the project and I will be sharing it all here along with a lot of the behind the scenes content that reveals how I get an idea out onto the page from rough to finish.
I have also launched a Patreon page where you can support this project if you would like to do so, though it is appreciated, it is not necessary. You can find all the content here and you will never be forced to actually pay to read the progress of this project!!
(I am talking with a few editors so please stick with me as I seek for assistance through this project. My grammar is on the rough side to say the least with non stop run-on and on and on.. )

Backlash over O2 compo
Mobile giant O2 faced a backlash yesterday after some customers hit by last week’s network meltdown were offered just 87p compensation.
Consumer experts say Britain’s second biggest network should be paying at least £10 a head to the 32million customers affected.
They were cut off from the internet and unable to send or receive texts, emails and other services following a software problem on Thursday.
O2 have offered to credit their pay monthly customers with two days of monthly airtime subscription charges.
But consumer watchdog Which? said this was likely to be worth between 87p and £2.33.
Spokeswoman Alex Neill said: “It’s right that O2 compensate their customers for the frustrating network failure suffered by millions of customers.”
Consumer complaints expert Helen Dewdney said only a payment of £10 a head would be adequate.

This paper proposes the weighted dilution of precision (WDOP) with consideration of the satellite elevation angle in order to improve the performance of dilution of precision (DOP), which is a standard tool to quantify the positional precision of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). The WDOP is calculated by assigning different weights to visible GNSS satellites depending on their elevation angles. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of WDOP, the conventional DOP and WDOP were mathematically analyzed and a comparative analysis was conducted using actual Global Positioning System data. Results showed that WDOP represents the position error trends more accurate than the conventional DOP, particularly when low-elevation measurements were used for positioning calculation. Therefore, the WDOP could be a promising replacement of DOP as a tool for representing and quantifying errors in GNSS positioning.

From pain-free digital x-rays to regular cleanings to sedation dentistry, we offer a wide range of tailored treatment solutions for the whole family.
Family Dentistry Includes:
Prophylaxis (Teeth Cleaning)
Oral Cancer Screening
Root Canal Therapy
Sleep Apnea Solutions
Specialized Family Care Options
Say goodbye to dental fear and anxiety. Sedation helps patients relax and rest easy as we perform their dental treatment. We tailor our sedation options to fit you and your treatment. Options include oral sedation, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), and IV sedation. During all sedation appointments, we monitor blood pressure, pulse, and oxygen saturation levels of the blood.
The state-of-the-art technology of the PulseMaster laser allows us to perform minimally invasive, highly precise dental procedures with little to no anesthesia.
The laser acts as a precision cutting instrument during surgery.
When lasers are used during periodontal therapy, there is less bleeding, swelling and discomfort to the patient when cleaning and removing diseased tissue. Scalpels and stitches are often completely unnecessary, resulting in quick and comfortable healing.
Lasers are used to remove decay within a tooth and prepare the surrounding enamel for receipt of the filling. Lasers are also used to “cure” or harden a filling.
The laser acts as a heat source and enhances the effect of tooth bleaching agents.
Teeth that appear small or short can be “lengthened” by recontouring the gum line using the laser. This procedure is used to create a perfect, harmonious gum line in relation to the lips and teeth.
Biopsy or Lesion Removal
Lasers can be used to remove a small piece of tissue (called a biopsy) so that it can be examined for cancer. Lasers are also used to remove lesions in the mouth and relieve the pain of canker sores.
Benefits of Laser Therapy
Reduced risk of infection
Less time in the dental chair
No dental drill needed
Minimize soft tissue bleeding and swelling
May preserve more healthy tooth during cavity removal
Less post-treatment discomfort
A healthy mouth begins with healthy gums. If you are suffering from red, swollen, or tender gums, you may have periodontal disease. Left untreated, it may lead to inflammation, bleeding, and eventually recession. We use the latest treatment techniques and technology to ensure you receive the best care.
Our computer software allows us to measure the depth of the periodontally infected areas as well as the healthy areas. We can compare your readings from one appointment to the next and provide you with a graphic printout, so you can see how you are doing and where you can help yourself with better home care. This also allows us to tailor our treatment, specifically for you.
Cavitron Ultrasonic Instrumentation
We use the most modern ultrasonic equipment available to remove plaque buildup quickly and comfortably.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Our highly skilled dental hygienists have been trained to thoroughly remove the bacteria ridden plaque and tartar deposits that colonize the roots. This is the key to eliminating periodontal disease.
In addition to the traditional polishing or buffing that you are accustomed to, we also utilize an air polishing system (like a mini pressure washer) to remove stains from your teeth.
Connect With Us
Call today or complete the appointment request form. We’ll be in touch soon. Mon 8:00 am - 5:00 pm Tues 8:00 am - 5:00 pm Wed 8:00 am - 4:00 pm Thurs 7:30 am - 3:00 pm Fri 8:00 am - 4:00 pm

House of Representatives head Ageela Saleh met U.S. Ambassador and Special Envoy to Libya Richard Norland in Cairo on Thursday.
The HoR reported that developments of the situation in Libya and domestic and international efforts to implement the (LPDF) Road Map, especially the important role of the House of Representatives, were discussed.
It reported that both sides affirmed that the elections will be held on time on 24 December, and for his part, Norland stressed during the meeting that the adoption of the constitutional basis for the elections and the approval of the state’s general budget is an inherent competence of the House of Representatives.
Reporting on the meeting through the U.S. Embassy social media platforms, Norland said: “Encouraged by Speaker Saleh’s commitment to December elections during our first meeting since I became Special Envoy. His leadership will be essential to provide the constitutional and legal basis for elections on December 24.”
Continued international pressure
The meeting and the official statements released on it is part of continued international efforts to pressure the reluctant status quo Libyan political forces to complete the needed legal and constitutional procedures for the 24 December elections to be held on both a legal/constitutional basis and on time.
The Libya Herald first appeared on 17 February 2012 – the first anniversary of the Libyan Revolution. Since then, it has become a favourite go-to source on news about Libya, for many in Libya and around the world, regularly attracting millions of hits.

1More took the stage at CES 2017 by announcing a new pair of in-ear headphones: the 1More Quad Driver In-Ear Headphone. The new earphones are an evolution over last year’s Triple Driver model, but they include four drivers in a patent-pending design “that allows for a full-frequency, low-distortion premium audio experience”. The new earphones will be available by the end of January.
The new 1More Quad Driver earphones include a “diamond-like” carbon dynamic driver and three balanced armatures, each dedicated to a specific frequency range. As a “first” to 1More, the Quad Driver are the first in-ear headphones by the firm to be “Hi-Res Audio” certified. The company continues their collaboration with Grammy Award-winning sound engineer Luca Bignardi, who already took care of the 1More EO323 and Triple Driver, to offer a “fully balanced and ultra-realistic soundstage”.
The earphones are made from aluminium and are styled after jet engines. They also feature a remote with iOS and Android compatible controls and a microphone. The package includes nine different eartip pairs, a leather carrying case, a 3.5 mm to 6.3 mm (1/8″ to 1/4″) adapter, an airline adapter and a shirt clip.
The 1More Quad Driver will be available at the end of January for 199.99$ both on 1More’s website and Amazon. These will be the most expensive in-ear headphones from 1More: the expectations are even higher, given this fact.

DON TEMPLETON is the pen name for the lead writer and founder of the publishing confederation, Blue Falcon Press. He is also the author of four Executioner novels published by Gold Eagle Books (#262, #264, #266, and #276). For the last 20 or so years, Don has been under deep cover inside U.S. Special Operations living the dream and spying on his primary subject matter: soldiers. Don is from the Hemingway School of Writers - a writer has to live his story before he can genuinely write anything of value. That means jumping into Life and getting into a fight with Life. Don has the life scars to prove his bona fides. He has survived 100-plus airborne operations (most of those mass tac with the 3rd Ranger Battalion of the Iran-Contra era), the meat grinder of Special Forces selection (twice - twice is his favorite number), the Q Course where he outwitted alpha boy tab protectors with superior gray man tactics, and went to war with the best ODA the National Guard ever fielded, the Happy Reapers. This background lends volumes of authenticity to the over-the-top novels he writes because he has lived this material.
NOTICE: Don is openly looking for other crack pulp writers that want to contribute to this dark and beautiful Dream Time word painting.
on Feb. 04, 2017 :
Special Task Force: GREEN MAJIK, Pretty Hate Machine, written by Don Templeton, is a high paced action novel that begins with a suicide mission of a nine year old girl, Sadie Hawkins.
Soon after, during a homicide investigation, a phone call regarding a hard drive captures the attention of Detective Jack Carnahan; a man who teeters on the edge of breaking the law in order to capture the crooks. Through a twist of fate, the detective finds himself teaming up with an unlikely duo to expose an unimaginable terror that will shock the world.
Homeland Security, the FBI, alligator farmers and hypnotherapists intertwine in a race against time to find the truth before a terrible secret is unleashed.
Be prepared to cancel all prior engagements as this action packed, edge of your seat novel is a story you will not be prepared to put down. From the suburban streets of Colorado to the headquarters of police in Denver comes a tale of power-puff dressed, mini sized suicide attackers, Charlie's Angels themed police officers, prostitutes and detectives who will withdraw a glock the moment strife arises.
Not for the faint hearted, the tone of the story is set with the opening chapter exploring a nine year old girl's suicide mission within her school yard. Enthralled instantly, the reader is left to question what could possess such a terrifying act of horror. On the other side of town, Detective Jack Carnahan stumbles across a home invasion of a UFO crazed family man and soon finds himself working with unlikely allies- an acid addicted journalist and a perky prima donna porn star. The action will keep you on your toes as Carnahan races against time to discover what the connections could be between the brutal homicide and the suicide school yard mission. Not everything is as it seems and Carnahan dives deep into a storm of lies, deceit and ultimate evil.
Don Templeton has a remarkable talent in which he is able to paint a picture with his words and I easily envisioned his characters from the innocent Sadie to the curious hypnotherapist, Buffy Rayburn. The characters are introduced intermittently and together they form the pieces of an intriguing conspiracy puzzle.
Each character delves from unique circumstances. From thugs to hypnotherapists and journalists to prostitutes, every reader will find themselves a character who they adore.
My favourite character, Mallory Hammond, takes you on a journey into the swamps of Louisiana where she is investigating a gang of alligator farmers. Here she discovers a secret that will take you to the depths of your nightmares. Her co-workers perceive her as crazy and a somewhat introverted FBI agent however circumstances transform her from caterpillar to butterfly- a butterfly that is a sexy, capable, tomb raider style fighting machine who demands respect and admiration.
Don Templeton's vivid imagery often evoked strong emotion through themes of violence, action and comradery and Jack Carnahan’s bravery and thirst for the truth will leave the readers hungry for more. From rescuing scantily dressed teenagers to stumbling across botched cover-ups, Templeton takes you on a whirlwind adventure which leaves you wondering, who can you really trust?

A regular wash cycle with any non-bleach detergent and a low to medium heat dryer will do the job just fine. Our socks will not shrink and hand washing and/or line drying is not necessary.
Finer points (optional steps that will enhance and protect performance and appearance):
By following these basic recommendations, you can look forward to comfortable, durable use for a long time to come.
NEVER USE BLEACH—it destroys the natural fibers.
Also, too much heat or too much dryer time can cause the Merino wool in the socks to felt (become stiff and bulky). This won't affect performance, but even with the super soft Alpaca they won't be as nice and soft as they once were.

Interview with Anne Petermann: The largest environmental march ever brought hundreds of thousands into New York City streets, but the People’s Climate Watch was mostly ignored by the media. As was its companion action, Flood Wall Street, which targeted corporations behind climate instability with civil disobedience. Is the people’s voice on climate change being ignored by the corporate media, just as it’s been ignored by corporate-backed governments? We’ll speak with Anne Petermann, director of the Global Justice Ecology Project and the Climate Connections blog.
From the Climate Connections Blog:
FAIR (Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting) has a weekly radio show calledCounterspin. The program reaches 150 noncommercial stations across the United States and Canada. This week Global Justice Ecology Project’s Anne Petermann was one one of the guests. She spoke about her experiences at UN Climate Conventions between 2004 and 2011.
“The UN has worked hard to squeeze civil society and grassroots voices out of the dialogue and process,” she said. “The UN has demonstrated time and time again that they have no interest in what grassroots voices have to say. There is no way that corporate dominated government is going to make any difference with climate change.” “Direct action, directly confronting the powers that are oppressing us and destroying the environment and taking power in our own hands is how we force change and force the transformation that we need.”
She also spoke about her and other’s concerns that the People’s Climate March did not have strong overarching demands, and that many of the groups at the table included industry, bankers, Goldman Sachs, Duke Energy, and others that promote corporate profiteering as a part of corporate campaign on climate change strategies.
When asked about the other groups and voices that joined the giant march, she said, “I was also very happy to see a broad diversity of approaches and voices that were truly grassroots groups calling for transformation and not just reform. Confronting the false solutions and the false voices that are out there is, especially with climate change is encouraging.”

Ben Bishop broke out last season with a 2.23 GAA and .924 save percentage in 63 games, but he didn’t get an opportunity to lead the Tampa Bay Lightning in the playoffs because of a late season elbow injury.
After watching his team fall apart in the first round without him, Bishop has spent the summer rehabbing his elbow and his right wrist, which he hurt in January and had surgery on in April.
His elbow is now back to 100 percent, but his wrist is taking longer to heal.
“I started skating in the last couple of weeks and I have a pad under my blocker now just to take away from some of the blow of taking shots off of it,” Bishop told NHL.com. “I was down in Tampa with the trainers and equipment guys to figure out a blocker to work with for the next month. I’m starting to take shots and it’s getting there. It’s not 100 percent yet, but hopefully before the start of the season it’ll be close.
“Just because it hasn’t been messed with over the last three or four months the pounding from the shot still irritates it. Scott Clemmensen had the same wrist injury, same surgeon, and I’ve been in contact with him. He says he feels great now so I’m not worried about it.”
If his wrist isn’t an issue, Bishop will enter the season as the Lightning’s clear starting goaltender. That’s still a relatively new position for him, but it’s one that he hopes to continue to prove he’s worthy of holding. As he previously put it, he doesn’t want to be a “one-hit wonder.”
After signing him to a two-year, $11.9 million extension, the Lightning are certainly also hoping that Bishop’s 2013-14 campaign was just the beginning.

The Government of Saskatchewan has proclaimed this week as Foster Families Week.
The Province is urging everyone across the province to learn more about the foster parent program.
“I can’t say enough about our foster parent program in this province, or the amazing people involved. They open their homes, and their hearts, to children and youth in times when their families are in crisis. In addition to meeting the everyday needs of children in their care, foster parents provide the most important thing of all, a place to call home,” says Social Services Minister Paul Merriman.
The Saskatchewan Foster Families Association is a non-profit, community-based organization that manages recruitment, training and support for foster families in partnership with the Government of Saskatchewan.
“The foster parent program is about families helping families. I’ve been involved in fostering for more than 35 years, first as a foster parent and then through my role with the association. My experiences have provided me with many opportunities to give back. But, what I’ve received from the families I’ve helped to support, what I’ve learned from them, and the impact they have had on me as a person is immeasurable,” says Saskatchewan Foster Families Association Executive Director Deb Davies.
The province says they have seen an increase in the number of approved foster homes in operation, however they add the need is still high.
“Just under a year ago, we began providing our world-class training program for foster parents online, which has made it much more convenient for prospective families to join the program. We also attribute the increase to the Saskatchewan Foster Families Association, and their tireless support of foster families,” says Merriman.
For more information, call the Saskatchewan Foster Families Association at 1-800-667-7002 or visit their website.

DBT for partners, family and friends
Join our 8-week education and experiential group, to learn how to be more effective in interacting with a loved one who is suffering from emotion dysregulation. DBT for Partners, Friends and Family is based on the dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) program developed by Dr Marsha Linehan, that is supported by more than 30 years of research (including randomised controlled trials).
This is not a therapy group. It is run as a skills-based education program, where you will be taught DBT theory and skills including emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness and mindfulness. These skills will be taught in the context of how best to support your loved one.
There will be a homework component each week to help generalise the learnings. The program is run by two clinicians with substantial experience in DBT.

It is difficult to track Greece’s expenditures with precision, but multiple analysts say roughly 90 percent of the nation’s bailout cash has been eaten up by financial institutions. In a widely cited piece on the English-language site MacroPolis, Greek economics writer Yannis Mouzakis calculated that close to 11 percent of the funds, or 27 billion euros, went to the government’s “operational needs,” significantly less than was spent on maturing debt obligations (81.3 billion euros) and recapitalizing Greek banks (48.2 billion euros).
The Jubilee Debt Campaign — an advocacy group that argues Greece and other poorer nations should have their debt canceled — reached a similar conclusion in its analysis of IMF data. Jubilee economist Tim Jones calculated that Greece has spent more than 230 billion euros on expenditures like debt service and propping up Greek banks.
“This is the same unjust response to a financial crisis as happened across much of the developing world in the 1980s and 1990s,” he said in a January statement. "Debt needs to be canceled, and we need a new process for dealing with debt crises so that lenders do not continue to be bailed out, leaving the cost with the public and incentivizing more reckless lending and turmoil.”
The Greek government was 317 billion euros in debt at the end of last year, Jones calculated. Of that amount, 247.8 billion euros — about 78 percent — is owed to the IMF, the European Union and the European Central Bank (ECB). The IMF, ECB and European Commission, the executive branch of the EU, are collectively known as the troika, the group of international institutions charged with managing the Greek debt crisis.
Greece missed the deadline for an IMF loan payment Tuesday night. Government officials and lenders are still haggling over the conditions for another bailout, with Greece requesting another loan of 29 billion euros.
If Greece defaulted entirely on its loans, its largest creditors would be able to absorb the loss, said Anil Kashyap, an economist at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
“I think it’s politics more than economics,” he said. “The amounts of money involved here are just not that big compared to all these other institutions.”
The IMF commands more than $1 trillion in total bailout funds. Greece accounts for roughly 2 percent of economic activity in the eurozone.
“The actual fiscal cost [to the European Union] of Greece blowing up isn’t that big a deal,” Kashyap said. The bigger problem for creditors with allowing Greece to default would be political, not financial, he added.
“Say they don’t vote ‘yes’ on the referendum and they really exit the euro,” he said. “The next time some country gets into trouble, there would be immediate concern over whether they are going to follow what Greece did.”

Tasnim Baghdadi is an illustrator, visual artist and designer who was born in Cologne and is currently based in Münster, Germany. Her artistic work is inspired by her interest for modernist art, searching for a visual language in between the abstract and the meta-figurative. Tasnim’s illustrations and creative experiments mingle visual worlds of the past with the language of our contemporary age. Her main themes derive from images within cultural history and the human condition. She aims to fathom and de- and reconstruct concepts of personal and collective memory as well as a sense of longing and belonging from within hybrid realities with help of metaphorical repetition and melancholic Visual poems.
As both, a graduate of Art History and a self-taught illustrator and visual artist, she constantly takes in both perspectives and seeks to find a gap between theory and creative practice, while mainly focusing on the human form and faces.
Katherine Dunham revolutionized American dance in the 1930's by going to the roots of black dance and rituals transforming them into significant artistic choreography. She was not only a dancer/Choreographer but also an anthropologist and social activist. . . . #illustration #dance #katherinedunham #design #minimalist #visualart #illustrationartists #lineart #minimalism #digitalart #movement #body

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has recently embarked on economic and social reforms based on the 2020 perspective document.
The haste in implementing social reforms, the incompatibility of these reforms with the Saudi social structure, as well as the lack of realism of these measures have been caused that Salman’s son’s new approach is more a showcase than actual. Because development and social reform must take place after certain preconditions have been met, and on the other, it must be based on the culture and identity of the community.
The Saudi crown prince’s numerous foreign policy failures seem to have added to the confusion of Salman’s son and policymakers alongside domestic crises such as the housing crisis, employment and even the conflict of views of the younger generation with official Saudi religion, it has caused Saudi women to face reforms such as lifting the ban on driving for women, allowing women to attend sports stadiums and the freedom to play music in the country, which is just a show-off, and it has a lack of depth needed to change the nature and structure of the Saudi government rules the society.
The Saudi government’s violent treatment of its women opposition, including the execution of a woman journalist and civil activist in the country, can be cited in this regard. It clearly demonstrates that Saudi Arabian extremist approaches to the issue of freedom of expression, women, and, essentially, enter the space of modernity do not change. Subsequent social reform has begun with a variety of concerts in religious cities by singers based on the 2030 Vision Plan, referred to as the Muhammad bin Salman Reform Plan.
But in the latest move, and for the first time, a women’s wrestling competition will be held at the Malik Fahad Riyadh International Stadium in the capital between two American and Canadian female superstars.
It is worth noting that the organizer of this type of event in Saudi Arabia is “entertainment and fun foundation” headed by “Turki Al-Sheikh”, is close to Mohammed bin Salman. This foundation is founded in May 2016.
These social reforms have been carried out by bin Salman to erase the country’s religious manifestations while Saudi women are still longing for their basic rights, and for years the Saudi patriarchal system has been on the bottom of the index of the gender gap index (prepared by the World Economic Forum).
In this regard, Human Rights Watch says that Saudi Arabia’s structure actually changes women to the people who cannot decide for themselves. Some of the activities that women cannot do without a man’s permission (father, wife, brother) include:
Passport application, foreign travel, marriage, opening a bank account, starting some businesses, optional surgery (unnecessary), getting out of prison. Interestingly, Saudi women were deprived of voting, driving, and right of education until the age of 15 (similar to Saudi boys) before 2015.
The Prince of Saudi, who dreams of a kingdom, should focus on elections, democracy, and participation in power, except of appearance reforms such as nightclubs, freedom of alcohol, women’s wrestling that do not conform to Saudi Arabia’s conservative society.

Zarnish Khan strongly condemned the Sindh Murt March: Picture: Net Desk
Karachi: The gorgeous actress of the showbiz trade, Zaranish Khan, has expressed her anger on the ‘Sindh Murt March’ organized by the eunuch neighborhood.
Final month, Sindh Murt March was organized on the event of Transgender Worldwide Day in Shahr-i-Quaid, through which numerous transgenders from completely different cities participated.
Political and social leaders together with Zulfiqar Bhutto Jr., eunuch chief Bandia Rana and PPP chief Shehla Raza additionally participated on this march.
Within the ‘Sindh Murt March’, transgenders carried varied placards and banners for his or her rights whereas music and dance had been additionally carried out within the march.
Now, a video of ‘Sindh Murt March’ goes viral on social media, through which the singer in a daring outfit is proven acting on stage, together with a eunuch dancing.
Learn extra: Worldwide Transgender Day; Murt March held in Karachi
Whereas the social media customers made indignant feedback on this video, the well-known actress of the showbiz trade, Zaranish Khan, additionally condemned the ‘Sindh Murt March’ in sturdy phrases.
“What was the necessity for additional destruction on this nation? Now there’s open disrespect,” stated Zaranish Khan.
It ought to be famous that in keeping with Categorical Information, the Sindh Murt March was organized by an area motion working to guard the rights of transgender folks primarily based in Sindh, with the purpose of expressing the issues confronted by it on the Worldwide Transgender Day. .

Google Glass: Specifications Revealed
Google Glasses sure created not ripples but waves with their announcement last year followed by testing and a teaser video. While Google was big on promoting the glasses and what they could do, there was no mention of specs. So while we knew Google Glasses can record videos and click images, facts like camera megapixels remained unknown.
Finally, Google has officially announced the complete specifications of Google Glasses. The most important element of the glasses is the ‘glass’ or the screen covering the eye. Google has said that the Glasses will come with a high resolution display. The display is supposed to be so powerful that Google quoted it will be "equivalent to a 25-inch high definition screen from eight feet away."
The initial editions will have features similar to a medium-budget smartphone. The glasses will come with front-facing 5 MP cameras. The video-recorder does not support HD recording. So while the videos recorded will not be of high quality, the 720p resolution will ensure decent frames.
While the device will come with an internal memory of 16 GB, just 12 GB will be user-available. We think that’s pretty generous considering they’re glasses and not normal phones. Further, storage will be via Google’s cloud computing as the glasses will be synced with cloud. So space shouldn’t really be an issue.
Google Glass supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. While connectivity options are regular, it means that the Glasses will be pretty useless in areas of no connectivity or with low connectivity. Also, with most countries still awaiting Wi-Fi hubs, the Glasses might be targeted at specific regions initially.
According to an AFP report, the Glasses will support audio via bone conduction. According to the report: The technique essentially turns the wearer's head into an amplifier and it is a sensation that will be familiar to anyone who uses a waterproof MP3 player.
There’s no word on the battery but Google stated that charging once a day would be essential meaning the battery will last for about a day. However, with heavy video recording and conferences, the lasting power might not be the same.
The device can be synced with Android smartphones running the MyGlass app which has already been released by Google in the Google Play store. Google is confident that the glasses have been designed in a way that one-size-fits-all. However, the glasses will come with special nose-pads in case of need for adjustments.
Google has already begun shipping the first edition or ‘Explorer’ edition of the glasses. The glasses are priced at 1500 dollars tentatively for the developer version.
While there have been multiple debates over the technology and the side-effects of Glass, the government has not banned them despite protests. With average specifications coupled with path-breaking idea, do you think Google Glasses deserve the high price and the frenzy surrounding them? Or will they be a distraction and need to be banned? Let us know in comments below!

Piriformospora indica Increases Tolerance to Leaffolder in Rice Seedlings
rice,Piriformospora indica,rice leaffolder,jamonate,
|Publication Year :||2016|
|Abstract:||印度梨型孢真菌 (Piriformospora indica, P. indica) 能與水稻根部共生，並增進植株生長勢及耐逆境能力。本研究以水稻品種臺中在來一號 (Oryza sativa L. cv. Taichung Native 1, TCN1) 為材料，探討P. indica與其根部共生對於提升水稻對瘤野螟 (Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (Guenée), leaffolder) 危害耐受能力之效果，並進一步了解其耐受機制。研究結果顯示，接種P. indica之水稻幼苗在受到瘤野螟幼蟲侵食後之生長勢，比未接種P. indica之植株佳。以接種P. indica水稻幼苗餵食瘤野螟幼蟲，會造成幼蟲體重下降，且化蛹成功比例降低，顯示P. indica除了提升水稻對瘤野螟之耐受能力外，亦會影響瘤野螟幼蟲之生長。水稻植株葉片之基因表現分析結果顯示，OsJAmyb、茉莉酸生合成酵素基因 ALLENE OXIDE SYNTHASE 1 (OsAOS1)、jasmonyl-amino acid synthetase 基因 JASMONATE RESISTANT 1 (OsJAR1)及JA–isoleucine (JA–Ile) 接受器基因CORONATINE INSENSITIVE1 (OsCOI1) 之表現量受P. indica共生而有所提升，推測P. indica 可提高水稻內生茉莉酸含量並增強茉莉酸相關之抗蟲訊息傳導。此外，藉由植株體內會影響害蟲生長之胰蛋白酶抑制劑(trypsin proteinase inhibitor, TI)、苯丙胺酸裂解酶 (phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, PAL) 及多酚氧化酶 (polyphenol oxidase, PPO) 活性分析，發現接種P. indica之植株受到瘤野螟幼蟲危害後有較高之上述抗蟲物質活性表現。根據上述實驗結果，P. indica可能是透過增強植物茉莉酸相關之防禦途徑，並增進抗蟲物質累積，以提升水稻對瘤野螟危害之耐受能力。|
The mutualistic symbiosis between Piriformospora indica (P. indica) and rice roots resulted in promotion of plant growth and increase of stress tolerance. Here, we focused on studying the effect of P. indica on rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Taichung native 1, TCN1) tolerance against Cnaphalocrocis medinalis Guenée, (leaffolder) and the related P. indica induced herbivore defense mechanisms. The results showed P. indica-colonized rice had higher biomass and photosynthetic activity than non-colonized rice under leaffolder infestation. Leaffolder larvae fed with P. indica-colonized rice had lower relative growth rate and pupal ratio than that with non-colonized plants. This indicated P. indica can enhance rice tolerance against leaffolder and also present negative effects on larvae growth. According to gene expression analysis, in leaves of leaffolder infestated rice plants expressions of jasmonate (JA)-related genes such as ALLENE OXIDE SYNTHASE 1 (OsAOS1, JA biosynthesis gene), JASMONATE RESISTANT 1 (OsJAR1, jasmonyl-amino acid synthetic gene), CORONATINE INSENSITIVE1 (OsCOI1, JA–isoleucine (JA-Ile) receptor gene) and OsJAmyb in leaf tissues of P. indica-colonized plants were higher than those were in non-colonized plants under leaffolder-infestated conditions.It was suggested that P. indica enhance leaffolder tolerance of rice plants may be mediated the activation of JA-related signaling pathway. Moreover, P. indica also enhanced the activities of defense-related proteins, e.g. trypsin proteinase inhibitor (TI), phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO). Taken together, the symbiotic interaction between P. indica and rice lead to enhance JA defense pathway and several defense-related protein activities to reduce the leaffolder caused damage.
