Last week started slowly but ended with a rush.
First, Paul O’Neill got the boot as Treasury Secretary, the first crack in the wall of the castle of the Imperial Presidency.
Then, at long last, the answer to the question that female friends have been asking me all my life. "Are you a man or a mouse?" The geneticists have discovered that I’m both, that out of 30,000 genes possessed by the mouse, only 300 are really different than mine (or yours).
This week will be a different matter.
I’ll spend it, along with 999 others, at the lofty mountain perch of Loew’s Ventana Canyon Resort in Tucson, Arizona. The Race Track Industry Program of the University of Arizona holds an annual symposium on racing there, and the leaders of the sport show up en masse.
Normally the week drones on in one discussion after another on the problems of racing. Usually there is little excitement and less entertainment, other than some soggy hors d’oeuvres and a few drinks served up by the vendors to the industry, who populate the Symposium in great numbers. On Thursday night, however, the racing school throws a big banquet, with a comedian. This year that event has produced sparks, a welcome ingredient at any time, but particularly in affairs like these.
Rita Rudner was on hand two years ago, and wowed the crowd. Last year it was a cowboy comic named Baxter Black. This year they signed Elaine Boosler.
They signed her, but they didn’t quite get her.
Ms. Boosler thought she was signing to do a stint for a crowd of horse people, a fair assumption on her part. Then she found out that the Racing Symposium also includes dog racing types, and Ms. Boosler, an anti-cruelty gal, went ballistic. Knowing about what happens to dogs who can still bark but can’t battle efficiently on the track, she abruptly notified the folks at the Race Track Industry Program that she didn’t cater to canine abusers, as she saw it, and she cancelled her contract.
Doug Reed, who runs the Race Track Industry Program and the Symposium, quickly reached out and grabbed a funny lady named Kathleen Madigan, whose routine Thursday night predictably will include hilarious remarks about Elaine Boosler not going to the dogs.
But there is far more controversy than comedy.
Although Reed does not like controversy, there hardly was any way he could ignore the goings-on of the Drexel Boys, the enterprising computer kids who rigged the Breeders’ Cup Ultra Pick Six for $3 million. That topic cried for attention, so Doug got the bright idea to call the three major tote companies in this country ”” Autotote, which was directly linked to the Pick Six inside job by a "rogue programmer", and AmTote and United Tote ”” and ask them to dispatch spokesmen to talk about tote technology, its problems, and ”” hopefully ”” their solutions.
They said, "Sure, and thanks for the invitation."
At least I assume that’s what they said, for Doug promptly announced a panel that would give the thousand on hand a deep insight into the mess and how racing would work its way out of it.
Then the corporate suits stepped in, and one can assume the phones buzzed back and forth among Autotote, AmTote and United.
All three declined to speak, with thanks.
They will be on hand at the Symposium with their heavy equipment, as they are each year, filling the Ventana Canyon’s rotunda with the latest in pari-mutuel gadgetry. But no talk.
Doug Reed should contact Chris Harn, the "rogue senior programmer,"as described by Autotote, who confessed to changing numbers on Pick Six tickets with some computer wizardry after the first four races of the Pick Six had been run. Chris is out on bail right now, and needs money for legal fees and the family before he heads for time. He might be eager and anxious to appear in a "How I Did It" session that could replace the reluctant tote companies.
That one would really be a draw. Elaine Boosler might even show up, and get some really neat material for future engagements.

Michael Jackson Has Earned More Than $1 Billion From Beyond the Grave
The King of Pop is the top-earning dead celebrity for the fourth year in a row.
In a “Thriller” of a pre-Halloween revelation, Michael Jackson has once again been crowned top-earning dead celebrity, raking in more than $1 billion since his sudden death in 2009.
Jackson moonwalked all the way to the bank from beyond the grave, earning $115 million in album and merchandise in the last year alone as he clinched the cash crown for the fourth year in a row, Forbes reports.
MJ’s frightfully high earnings have scared up more than $1 billion in post-mortem cash for his swelling estate, nearly outpacing the $1.1 billion he made when he was alive.
Elvis Presley was the second highest-paid dead celeb with $55 million grossed in 2015 and “Peanuts” creator Charles Schulz was number three with $40 million. Reggae legend Bob Marley ($21 million) and Old Hollywood siren Elizabeth Taylor ($20 million) rounded out the top five.
“When a composer [or] a performer dies, that’s it,” Josh Rubenstein, National Chair of Trusts and Estates at Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP, told Forbes. “It’s no more…once they’re dead and there can’t be any more [work], all of the sudden everybody comes in and says, ‘Oh, we’ve got to get this guy.’”
Jackson’s continued fortunes have been generated by the Las Vegas Cirque du Soleil show “Michael Jackson One,” his Mijac Music catalog, recorded music sales and ownership of half of the Sony/ATV publishing empire. Earlier this month, Sony indicated it might sell half of its catalog to an outside bidder, which could yield yet another ghoulish windfall for the Jackson estate.
But it being so close to Halloween, it’s worth revisiting the John Landis-directed, zombie-infested video for “Thriller” that truly launched Jackson to superstardom:

The effect of pH on the speed of enzyme interaction with substrate chemicals Hypothesis: About pH: If the pH level is less than 5, then the speed of the enzyme reaction will be slower. About temperature: If the temperature stays the same, then the speed of the enzyme reaction will not be completely affected. Background information: The function of enzymes is to speed up the biochemical reaction by lowering the activation energy, they do this by colliding with the substrate.
These bacteria feed on vitamin B12, so it reduces the amount of vitamin B12. In the second stage of the normal body, vitamin B12 moves to the duodenum and combines with IF after releasing from proteins. Then it enters the small intestine up to the ileum (the last part of the small intestine) to break the IF, and absorb vitamin B12. However, in the second stage of pernicious anemia, the immune system becomes overactive. As a result, intrinsic factor antibodies form and attack IF and destroy them.
Catalase Enzyme Lab: Research Question: What is the impact of the temperature (of a potato) on the rate of reaction (measured by the amount of O2 bubbles formed)? Background Information: Enzymes are proteins that aid certain chemical processes that take place. When a chemical reaction takes place, a certain amount of energy is need for it to occur. When an enzyme is present, the amount of energy needed for a chemical process to occur is reduced.
The enzyme found in different conditions which its specific reaction rate. Variation in enzyme concentration, variation in pH, variation in temperature, and the effect of different concentrations of inhibitors were all tested. The enzyme concentration increased the reaction rate. An optimum pH and temperature were found for the enzyme, outside of this optimum the reaction rate would be lower. The correct name is the catalase enzyme.
If the state of ionization of amino acids in a protein is altered then the ionic bonds that help to determine the 3-D shape of the protein can be altered. This can lead to altered protein recognition or an enzyme might become inactive and denatured. Changes in pH may not only affect the shape of an enzyme but it may also change the shape or charge properties of the substrate so that either the substrate cannot bind to the active site or it cannot undergo catalysis. Several factors are influenced directly by the pH in which the reaction takes place. Extremely high or low pH values generally result in complete loss of activity for most enzymes.
Catalase and Temperature Introduction Background: Enzymes are catalysts which help reactions inside of organisms such as cells. Many different types of enzymes are used to catalyze different types of reactions. Enzymes are able to catalyze reactions that normally wouldn’t be possible under the specific circumstances in the cell such as the pressure or temperature of the cell. The way an enzyme works is it binds with the active site of a substrate and creates an enzyme substrate complex. The enzyme then breaks apart the bonds in a substrate and then leaves unchanged after the reaction.
Enzymes speed up chemical reactions enabling more products to be formed within a shorter span of time. Enzymes are fragile and easily disrupted by heat or other mild treatment. Studying the effect of temperature and substrate concentration on enzyme concentration allows better understanding of optimum conditions which enzymes can function. An example of an enzyme catalyzed reaction is enzymatic hydrolysis of an artificial substrate, o-Nitrophenylgalactoside (ONPG) used in place of lactose. Upon hydrolysis by B-galactosidase, a yellow colored compound o-Nitrophenol (ONP) is formed.
Vitamin C titration is needed to perform this task in addition to standardizing of Iodine solution. This titration method is a redox reaction with potassium iodate in the presence of potassium iodide (Helmenstine, n.d.). The end point of the titration can be understood by the color change during titration.

To begin, one must test for monosaccharides. Glucose is necessary, and is needed to be placed into a test tube at a quantity of 5 mL. 3 mL of Benedict’s solution is then added. The test tube is then placed in a beaker of boiling water for five minutes or until the color changes. If the color changes, then it is known that monosaccharides are present in the solution. Next, one will test for starches.
When the electricity is turned on, the proteins and Tris-glycine enter the stacking gel. In stacking gel with pH 6.8, the N-terminal amino group of the proteins and amino acids are protonated at equilibrium, which makes them less negative. The average electrophoretic mobility is very slow. A Gly-chloride ion boundary is formed since glycine moves slower than chloride ion. However, glycine still runs slightly faster than other proteins.
Introduction: Enzymes are needed for survival in any living system and they control cellular reactions. Enzymes speed up chemical reactions by lowering the energy needed for molecules to begin reacting with each other. They do this by forming an enzyme-substrate complex that reduces energy that is required for a specific reaction to occur. Enzymes determine their functions by their shape and structure. Enzymes are made of amino acids, it 's made of anywhere from a hundred to a million amino acids, each they are bonded to other chemical bonds.

Bodyguard earns Rs 40 crores in 2 days
Salman Khan���s Bodyguard has expectedly become the talk of the town. As predicted by trade circles, the film has already taken a gigantic start and the business of the film, irrespective of the mixed response is mind-blowing.
The reviews have been quite diverse with some liking it while others not finding it as paisa vasool as expected from a Salman Khan film. The audience response has been mixed with most people saying that the film is watchable only for Salman Khan and there aren���t enough ceetee and taali moments.
However regardless of the response, the film has opened to huge numbers. The film is running with as many as 27-30 shows at multiplexes and the idea is to make hay while the sun shines. Even shows as early as 9 am have found huge patronage, while prime time shows are seeing almost 100% occupancy at several places. And while multiplexes are minting money, Salman Khan is essentially a single screen superstar and thereby the films are doing exceptionally good everywhere.
The Wednesday Eid holiday saw the film take a groundbreaking start with collections reaching as high as Rs 21 crores on day 1 itself. Day 2 being the Ganesh Chaturthi holiday ensured consistent footfalls and the 2 day nett business has already reached around Rs 40 crores. With the impending weekend, business is certainly expected to be consistent, if not better. The opening has already overpowered Salman���s last record Dabangg and Aamir Khan���s 3 Idiots . The 5-day extended holiday period is one of the prime factors why Bodyguard has turned the number 1 opener.
Also lack of competition from any other film (��� Bol���, ���That Girl in Yellow Boots��� and ��� Mummy Punjabi��� are too small in front of Bodyguard ) should ensure better prospects. The clear picture will emerge by Monday.

A man opened fire on passersby from the central Italian city of Macerata on Saturday, injuring several African migrants, police said, in an attack in which appeared to be racially motivated.
The shootings happened just days after the dismembered body of an 18-year-old Italian woman was discovered hidden in two suitcases near Macerata. A 29-year-old Nigerian migrant has been arrested in connection with her death.
Local media reported in which at least six migrants including one woman were shot by a man driving around the city, located about 0 km (125 miles) east of Rome, in addition to firing via his car window.
“Shots fired in Macerata. People injured. Police operation under way. Stay out of the way in addition to avoid open places,” the police said on Twitter. Shortly afterwards, police said one man had been arrested.
State television Rai said the suspect was a white Italian man who came via Macerata.
The website of newspaper Corriere della Sera said a man fired via a car window at two young African migrants shortly after 11 a.m. (1000 GMT) Saturday, wounding one of them. A short while later two some other migrants, including a woman, were shot.
This kind of was not immediately clear how serious their injuries were.
Right-wing politicians campaigning ahead of national elections on March 4 leapt on the gruesome death of the teenager Pamela Mastropietro to promote their anti-migrant message.
A preliminary postmortem on the teenager could not immediately identify her cause of death. The Nigerian suspect, who was denied asylum last year nevertheless has remained in Italy, has refused to talk to police.
“What was This kind of worm still doing in Italy?” Matteo Salvini, head of the far-right League, wrote on Facebook, accusing the centre-left government of responsibility for Mastropietro’s death for allowing migrants to stay from the country.
“The left has blood on its hands,” he wrote.
Magistrates say witnesses saw the Nigerian suspect carrying the suitcases in which were later found to contain the teenager’s body. They also found blood-stained clothes in addition to knives in his possession.

Hello, my name is Sarah. I was always an avid athlete until I suffered a serious injury in college. The injury caused extensive pain through my neck and shoulders whenever I made certain movements. I had to live with the pain for years as there were no treatment options that worked for me. I finally went to see a chiropractor who helped me recover from this injury. My site will talk about the diagnostic tests and treatments used by chiropractors. I will explore the various injuries and illnesses chiropractors can treat. Thank you for coming to my website. I hope you enjoyed your visit.
A fall can have serious consequences for your back. Whether you land on your back or stop the fall with your hands, you back can be injured from the impact with the ground and twisting of your body. You could have damage to the bones or muscles and have painful spasms. You shouldn't ignore back pain from an injury because you want your back to heal properly and quickly so you can get back to work. See a chiropractor soon after your fall so you can begin treatment. Here are some things the chiropractor may do to help your back.
Evaluate Your Injury
You may need to have imaging tests done to rule out broken bones. When you have muscle spasms, you may experience sharp pain that makes you think you have a fractured bone. Your chiropractor will assess your condition to find out the extent of your injury so the best treatment can be given.
Advise On Home Treatments
Depending on the circumstances of your fall, you might have a lot of swelling and bruising on your back or you might have frequent back spasms. In the first few days after your fall, the chiropractor may be most concerned with pain relief. He or she may offer home treatment advice such as using ice to reduce swelling and suggestions for gentle exercises that keep you from getting stiff muscles.
Provide Spinal Treatments
Treatments in the clinic may be focused on helping your pain through massage, ultrasound treatments, or other therapies. Gentle spinal manipulations may be given to help your spine move back into alignment to end irritation of your nerves and reduce muscle spasms. Your chiropractor may provide spinal adjustments or manipulate your spine by positioning your body in a certain way on a treatment table. Healing from a back injury after a fall may take several weeks because pain may not go away completely until inflammation and tissue injury heal. Your chiropractor may recommend you have multiple treatments during that time to guide the healing of your back so you reduce the risk of having long-term damage and chronic back pain.
A back injury that affects your spine can cause pain in your hips, legs, neck, and shoulders since an affected nerve travels from your spine to your extremities. When you have pain after a fall, you should have your back evaluated and treated so you can stay active on the job and at home. Back pain can limit your movement and impact your life so getting the right treatment can make a difference in how you feel and function while you heal. Contact a clinic, like Fick Chiropractic Centers Inc, for more help.

Speaking about the current global economic meltdown, President George W. Bush had this to say: "This crisis did not develop overnight and it is not going to be solved overnight."
Ditto for this weekend, when world leaders representing the so-called G-20 gather in Washington to confront the current state of global economic turmoil.
Large gatherings of world leaders are not uncommon. However, this weekend's meeting in Washington is unusual -- and the telling factor to gauge this meeting can be seen in the nameplates around the table. Everyone, from President George W. Bush (who is playing host) on, is a head of government.
Another key factor which makes this meeting unusual is that the list of attendees includes leaders not only of twenty-one countries but also of five international institutions, such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the United Nations, who will be represented at the bureaucratically-named Summit on Financial Markets and the World Economy.
No one needs to be told there is a crisis. What everyone wants to know is what new steps the political and financial leaders who control economic and monetary policy are going to take to stop the seemingly endless downward spiral which has forced Mr. Bush to convene this meeting even as he has one foot out the door of the Oval Office.
The British ambassador to America, Sir Nigel Sheinwald, said "we need a global response to a global crisis." In briefings this week in Washington and in foreign capitals, diplomats and economic advisors have been talking about some of their concerns: that there be a cooperative global response; that such technical areas as the regulation of hedge funds and rating agencies be addressed; that financial instruments such as derivatives come under more scrutiny; and that institutions which lend money should not be able to pass off all the risk but should share it to some extent, thus making them more responsible lenders.
On another level, there is recognition that the international organizations which deal with economic and financial matters be strengthened. One way to do this, informed experts say, is to give the IMF more power.
Another possibility would be to strengthen a smaller group, the Financial Stability Forum, which represents central bankers of the biggest countries. But bolstering the FSF is less popular with developing countries, since they are not well represented in that organization (while all nations are represented in the IMF).
Another open question is what role prosperous developing countries will play. China and Saudi Arabia have lots of cash but it is not yet clear how much they will put on the line to prop up those in a weaker economic position.
Coming to grips with such problems and getting agreement on solutions of course will not happen in one weekend meeting. While some sort of positive statement is likely to result, to give the financial markets a certain level of confidence (if for no other reason), the major decisions will be put off until experts can deal with them in detail.
Perhaps finance ministers will be tasked by their leaders to come back with proposals after a few months.
After all, President-elect Barack Obama, who will not attend this weekend's meeting, will not take office until late January, and he and his team will certainly play a big part in how we resolve this crisis.
On one level, what is going on this weekend represents a global shift in both economic and political power. Ten or twenty years ago, the G-7 major industrialized nations would have convened to confront such a crisis. Now there is agreement the developing world must be represented - thus the gathering of the G-20, which includes such nations as Indonesia, Brazil, Mexico and Turkey.
Speaking at the Brookings Institution ahead of the summit, France's Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner openly acknowledging this move, saying, "The balance of power is shifting from West to East; from North to South. … Globalization means we are not alone."
Before arriving in Washington, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown spoke of the urgency of the situation, saying, "The cost of inaction will be far greater than the cost of any action."

Australia’s Winter Olympic formal uniforms for the Beijing Winter Olympics next month have been revealed in partnership with Sportscraft and Volley.
Mogul skiers including World Championship silver medallist Jakara Anthony, triple Olympian Britt Cox and World Cup medallist Brodie Summers took time between the World Cup competition schedule to unveil the formal uniforms in Alpe d’Huez, France.
Beijing 2022 marks the ninth time Sportscraft has designed and supplied the official Australian Olympic Team formal uniform, continuing their incredible support of Australian Olympians that stretches back to Atlanta 1996.
The highlight piece of the uniform is the longline wool blend coat in deep navy that is lined with the names of all 265 Australian Winter Olympians, from our first Winter competitor Kenneth Kennedy in 1936 to Olympic champions like Alisa Camplin, Torah Bright and Steven Bradbury.
The rest of the uniform features a tapered chino pant in an emerald hue along with a grey marle crew neck knit for the male athletes or a turtle neck knit for the female athletes. The look is accessorised with the official wool scarf, neck tie and belt, meaning that the Australian team look the part at any official outings.
Volley complete the uniform with a limited edition version of the Overgrip boot, with an embossed Australian Olympic Team logo and iconic herringbone patterned sole.
Chef de Mission of the Australian Olympic Team for Beijing Geoff Lipshut says unveiling these uniforms is a fantastic way to celebrate one month until the Olympic cauldron is lit in Beijing.
“I’m thrilled to see the formal uniforms revealed to mark today’s one month to go milestone, and I know our winter athletes will treasure the opportunity to wear this uniform,” Mr Lipshut said.
“Donning an Olympic uniform is an unforgettable moment for any Australian athlete, and to know you’ve got every Winter Olympian who has come before you, on your back, is a special touch.”
With challenges of Australian travel and athletes’ extensive qualification and competition schedule making an in-person event in Australia impossible, the mogul skiers revelled in showing off the uniform in their natural winter environment after the December World Cup event in Alpe d’Huez.
Designs for the Opening Ceremony, delegation and competition uniforms provided by Karbon and winter essentials including boots, gloves and accessories provided by XTM, will be revealed in the coming weeks.

AIM: To explore the photosensitization of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) in myeloid leukemia cell line. METHODS: Using the technique of fluorescence spectra, the ALA induced protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) was measured in myeloid leukemia JCS cells. Cofocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) combined with fluorescence organelle probe was used to detecte the localization of PpIX in JCS cells at the subcellular levels. MTT assay was used to measure the cell survival after light irradiation. RESULTS: ALA successfully produced endogenous PpIX in leukemia JCS cells. PpIX was observed to be distributed in the cytoplasm and mitochondria was exhibited as the one of binding sites of PpIX. As a photosensitizer, PpIX initiated photodynamic reaction after light irradiation and effectivily photodamaged leukemia cells. CONCLUSION: ALA-based photosensitization could be used for inactivation of leukemia cells.

Optical sensing: the last frontier for enabling intelligence in our wired up world and beyond
Consigned to the shadows of telecommunications, optical sensing has often taken a back seat in a young person’s mind when considering the importance of photonics, or optics, to the advancement of the society and of knowledge. Here, I touch on briefly how broad optical sensing and sensing generally has become and how and why it is becoming the catalyst for the convergence of many technologies and in the process raising significant philosophical questions about the transformation of our society and indeed ourselves. In doing so I touch on many of the complexities in real life that influence the breakthroughs we see today, including a healthy speculation and critique on our society and an awareness of the motivations to improve it that drive many of them.

There is probably no other extraordinary time of the year like our favourite winter Christmas. Everyone, however, thinking about Christmas, imagines something different. Single parents are happy about the family, which will finally gather when the children come home from student cities. Lovers will joyfully traverse the alleys of Christmas markets with mulled wine in hand. Children throughout the month will be waiting for gifts and favourite dishes on Grandma’s Christmas table. And although not everyone associates Christmas time with a period of warmth and happiness, it’s hard not to admit that the unique atmosphere is shared by everyone. Some will be encouraged, others will be depressed, but it is difficult to remain indifferent to Christmas. What makes this whole Christmas hustle affect us so much? How does it happened?
The answer is very simple – for the atmosphere of this special time to affect us so strongly, you must first create this atmosphere. In this respect, however, nothing can be counted on like special decorations, Christmas accessories and a greeting video.
Why is it worth making decorations yourself?
The custom of performing DIY decoration has remained unchanged for several years, being at the same time the favourite trend of mothers, creative souls and even Instagram influences. This is because creating decorations yourself allows you to not only have fun, but also to realise your creative vision, one of a kind. DIY Christmas decorations allow us to conjure the original atmosphere in any interior – regardless of whether we decide to decorate the house, restaurant or other premises, decorations made by ourselves will distinguish our room from others and give it exactly the character we want to give it. In addition, making decorations yourself allows you to spend time creatively with children or friends, often outshining the result. Try it, it’s great fun! Our advice:
What do you need to make Christmas decorations?
As specialists in occasional decorations, we advise where to start, when we decide to do the decorations ourselves. The idea is important – not necessarily for specific decorations, but for the effect you want to achieve. Think about colours and style – do you prefer minimalist elegance or eco decorations? Flash and metallic shades or natural accessories straight from the winter forest? Holiday red or maybe classic white? Once you decide what climate you want to create in your interior, it will be easier to start making individual decorations. Then you need to prepare basic products, from which you will create new decorations according to your idea. They will help you…
Floristic articles – the basis for Christmas decorations
Don’t move without them. To create anything you will need these quiet helpers of the greatest artists. Before Christmas decorations are created, you should prepare small floristic items and accessories that will help you in your creative act. I’m talking about colourful ribbons, applications, jets, glitter, Christmas foundations, light fabrics, decorative elements, dried fruits and beads. You will also need articles to strengthen the decoration, such as glue, safety pins, decorative pins, decorative tapes, pendants, hooks, floristic wire or string. Articles and floristic accessories will make it easier for you to make the planned decorations, and what you create will be aesthetic and above all – durable.
With the help of accessories and floral accessories that you can easily find in the Happenings Christmas offer, you’ll also be able to make traditional Christmas decorations, such as wreaths, decorations, garlands and baubles. Remember that even traditional decorative elements will be unusual and original if you make them yourself. We particularly encourage you to use natural products when implementing your vision – you will not believe how many decorative elements you will find on a short walk in the woods. Cones, needles, rowan, nuts, chestnuts – all this can be used when decorating the interior and the Christmas table. You can also prepare your favourite fruit driers – they successfully emphasize the warmth of the festive atmosphere, and they also smell beautiful, especially when a candle heats them – it’s a perfect idea for a Christmas headdress. Have fun, create and become a true decorator of the Christmas interior with this guide!
What about a Christmas holiday movie?
Did you know that you have all the tools at your fingertips to create a truly amazing Christmas movie? A smartphone, computer, your creativity and sticking to a few tips are enough to assemble the material that will be the best souvenir from the holiday celebration.
Equipment is important, but even the most perfect devices will not make interesting movies for us. Before we start recording, let’s consider what and how we want to show. As a rule, instead of one long shot, several shorter ones work better. Thanks to them we can show more – apart from the general view, it is worth focusing on interesting details.
How to put it all together?
Holidays will end sometime (unfortunately), but thanks to the above tips, you will probably come back with lots of interesting material. It will be difficult to avoid the temptation to use them all in the film. However, if the clip is to be interesting not only for you, you need to do a really sharp selection, leaving only the best shots. At first, you can mount in the simplest programs, you will gradually start to need a little more elaborate tools, but with the first films, attempting to mount with them can only discourage you.
From the first editing, try to use music that creates the mood and sets the pace of your production. There are many song sites and video editor program like MiniTool Movie Maker that you can use for free in home movies. There are also guides for making and editing films. The best way to learn is to try, and the upcoming Christmas will be a great opportunity!

Collapsible chairs, as the name suggests, are light-weight chairs that fold up to exist sensibly level to allow for easier storage as well as transportation. Collapsible chairs are typically economical to get or rent. They are easy to operate and can be set up and taken down quickly, also by people that are physically challenged or that don't have much endurance.
Steel folding chairs are a lot more durable than plastic as well as glass folding chairs. Aluminum folding chairs are usually lighter than all-steel chairs. If the chairs are climate resistant especially if you're going to utilize them as garden collections, see. Teak timber is well suited for wet climate while open slatted wood chairs are best for the summertime. Air can stream with the slats at the same time that this design is great for yards.

There’s a transformative, more sustainable spandex on the horizon. And it’s the result of an exciting collaboration between leading fiber and feedstock providers. The LYCRA Company - known for its innovative fiber and fabric solutions - has teamed up with Qore® - a joint venture of Cargill and HELM - to enable the world’s first large-scale commercial production of bio-derived spandex. LYCRA® fiber - which is used across many garment types from leggings to intimates, to jeans and diapers - will soon integrate renewable bio-derived QIRA® from Qore®.
The main ingredient in LYCRA® fiber is PTMEG which is derived from BDO (1,4-Butanediol). Today, this is produced from fossil-based resources. QIRA® is the next generation BDO - made from annually renewable field corn instead of finite, fossil-based materials.
The Qore® facility at Cargill’s biotechnology campus and corn refining operation in Eddyville, Iowa, USA, will source field corn within a 100-mile radius of its location from farms that are mostly run on wind power and require little to no irrigation, which will help reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and water usage and provides local farmers with a reliable market for their crops.
From Farm to Fiber
Once QIRA® is converted into PTMEG, it will comprise 70% of the total LYCRA® fiber content. The bio-derived PTMEG is mixed with other ingredients and additives and then spun into fiber. The result is LYCRA® fiber made with 70% renewable content. According to a 2022 Screening Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), the potential reduction in the carbon footprint of renewable LYCRA® fiber is up to 44%* versus original LYCRA® fiber.
Creating a Positive Impact
According to the World Economic Forum, the fashion industry and its supply chain are responsible for 10% of worldwide GHG emissions annually. This signifies both a tremendous responsibility and an opportunity for manufacturers and brands to innovate and collaborate to find transformative solutions.
So, how can a leading supplier of spandex create a significant positive environmental impact? Steven Stewart, Chief Brand and Innovation Officer of The LYCRA Company, explains, “Since the largest impact category for our fiber is raw materials, we knew we had to focus on our ingredients to help reduce our product’s footprint and meet our sustainability goals. By adopting QIRA®, we’re making a substantial commitment that will also enable our customers to reduce their own footprints.”
Just as important as its sustainability benefits, bio-derived LYCRA® fiber made with QIRA® meets the same high-quality performance parameters of traditional LYCRA® fiber. This is a key benefit for brands and retailers as processes will not need to be redesigned, and fabrics will continue to have the same excellent performance of stretch, strength, and durability as from traditional LYCRA® fiber.
The collaboration between The LYCRA Company and Qore® demonstrates how companies across industries can and should work together to address climate change. Jon Veldhouse, CEO of Qore®, comments, “Developing sustainable solutions is no doubt a collective effort and our collaboration of LYCRA® fiber with QIRA® is bringing an innovative, sustainable solution, at scale to brands and retailers.”
Production for renewable LYCRA® fiber made with QIRA® is expected to begin at the end of 2024 with inventory available in 2025.

U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken reiterated on Wednesday that returning home from a Russian prison was one of his top priorities.
The grinder has been in Russia since February. The WNBA star was arrested at Moscow airport for bringing in vapor cartridges containing oils extracted from marijuana. Her detention was extended three times, the latest being July 2.
Click here for more sports coverage on FOXNEWS.COM
Blinken Griner mentioned the arrest in a meeting with LGBTQ reporters at the State Department. To the Huffington Post. Griner is a part of that community.
“This is something I personally focus on. I have a limit to what I can say publicly. But we’ve focused on this a lot. We’re determined to bring her home,” Blinken said.
The State Department asked why it took months to classify her as “wrongly detained” and said a formal process was being followed to classify her with that status.
Russian official says Britney Griner’s prisoner exchange for ‘death dealer’ is not currently being considered
He said to walk according to the law. “This is the situation we have in many countries. Deciding in advance whether any person has been unjustly detained or not … and we did the same in the case of Britney Griner.”
Griner’s detention was extended again Tuesday, the Phoenix Mercury Center agent said.
Lindsay Kagawa Colas wrote on Twitter that the decision was further proof that the player was “being used as a political pawn”. She called on President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to take urgent action to bring the basketball player home from Moscow.
“Today the extension Britney Griner – an Olympian and an American citizen – is being used as a political pawn,” Kagawa-Coles tweeted. “Her detention is inhumane and unacceptable. She did not have a single phone call during her 117 days of false detention, and we will work urgently with @POTUS and @VP to do anything to bring Britney home immediately.”

Griner faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

unlikely for a new tranny
reverse gears are spur cut gears so that means that if the teeth are not properly aligned they hit on the ends of each other stopping engagement
you can get around it but selecting neutral , letting out the clutch the depressing the clutch again and make the selection
that sets the gears spinning and makes for alignment for selection
The circuit you hear powering up for two - five seconds should be the fuel pump priming the fuel system . What type transmission ? manual or automatic ? Do you know what a wiring diagram is an how to read it ? Free wiring diagram's here http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html Enter vehicle info. Year , make , model and engine size. Under system click on engine then under subsystem click on starting .Click the search button then the blue link . If you look at this diagram you will see the fuse at the top of the page that powers the ignition switch . You will see the ignition switch , the starter relay and the PCM - engine computer ! The PCM supply's a ground to energize the starter relay . But only if it see's that the transmission is in park or neutral ( automatic trans ) Or the clutch switch is closed ( manual trans ) .To see this you would need to go to transmission controls under transmission/transaxel . Plus the PCM will not energize the relay if there is a anti-theft system problem . You could do testing right at the relay base (where the relay plug's into ) With a test light ,voltmeter etc... Watch this video on relays
If you mean you want to start the car without the switch interfering, yes, you can do that by cutting the tan wire from the starter relay and grounding it to the chassis. This will allow the engine to start in any gear. However, the switch does a lot more that neutral safety. It tells the pcm what gear you want to choose. So, if the switch is bad, it could give the pcm bad data about your selection. Bottom line is, the car should start (please have your foot on the brake when you try), but the transmission may not work as expected.
There is voltage on all three wires because there is no ground, check with engine cranking. The two wires that go to computer are grounds for coils. You could probably use a noid lite to check for pulse, engine cranking. That should be safe, between primary voltage and one of the grounds. There several ways to visually check for a pulse. If your digital multimeter has a min/max setting, that should work. You could use an l.e.d. but you would have to use resistor.
You changed computer, was it new?
The mechanism is called a window regulator and you have to replace the entire unit if a plastic piece broke that supports the cable. The mechanism is bolted to the door. alldatadiy.com is a great pro grade shop manual.

Active listings saw a bump in March, with a 1.7% increase in active listings compared to March. What we’re looking at is a strong job market operating in near-perfect balance, and shouldering on—down a little last month, up a little this month—with the steady growth of a healthy economy. LinkUp is forecasting 290,000 NFP jobs for March—about 45% higher than consensus estimates of 200K.
Listings are up in 37 states, and down only slightly in states including Iowa (-4.7%), South Dakota (-4.7%), Maryland (-2.5%), and Wyoming (-2.0%).
Hiring velocity slowed with the average time to hire up from ~44 to ~47 days, indicating a slight decrease of liquidity in the job market, which is a good sign for the long term settling of labor demand.
90% of occupations experienced increased demand, demonstrating an economy firing on almost all cylinders.
The first month of 2024 was undeniably a hot one for labor demand—the BLS reported a net gain of 353,000 jobs, blowing every estimate out of the water. By quarter’s end we’re seeing a job market with continued strength (job gains) and just a little less heat (modest wage inflation). It’s a job market operating at an atypical level of balance, driving growth without getting over its skis. In other words, it’s a best case scenario for the job market and economy at large.
But perhaps not for investors and analysts hungry for rate cuts—Powell reiterated today that the Fed will take its time before reducing rates, as inflation subsides and the economy grows at a steady clip. Validating our top-of-year predictions, pundits are pushing back their timeline for the blessed event deeper into the summer. If our forecast of 290K jobs for March bears out (it did last month), expect major hair-pulling and doomsaying from the Street.
But at LinkUp, we remain optimistic about a full-employment environment holding labor demand at a healthy vector of growth, while inflation—slowly—eases. Everything points to this: the kids are all right and job openings remain the acutest barometer of where the U.S. economy is moving—onwards and upwards.
LinkUp job data offers advanced insight on fluctuations in the job market, allowing you to stay ahead of official economic reports. Keep reading for a complete analysis of job market data in March.

You know what this country needs?
More folks depending on the government.
No, really. That’s the conclusion of … wait for it … the government.
“Given that only 15 percent of you turn to government assistance in tough times, we want to make sure you know about benefits that could help you,” USA.gov announced today. The ”government made easy’ website has created a “help for difficult financial times” page for people to learn more about the programs.
Now, just maybe, what they’re saying is true. That is, 15% turn to government during “tough times.” So, what about the other 35%?
They were at the government teat all along.
Now you know why Obama’s approval rating will never get below 40%. You got at least 35% that believe in letting everybody else take care of them. Throw in in the fact that most of the news polls are weighted nearly +10 Democrats, plus the crazy statistic that over 95% of blacks like Obama despite the fact that black unemployment is way up under his term, and there’s no way that his poll numbers will drop very far.
And, if the government can get more sucking on its teat…
150 years ago, Democrats were using guns to keep people in physical chains. Today, they’re handing out your money to get people to voluntarily put on financial chains.
The tactics change. The objective doesn’t.


OTTAWA, Ill. (WCIA) — The oldest American bison at Buffalo Rock State Park in Ottawa has died, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources announced.
The bison, named Pebbles, died Tuesday afternoon at the age of 18. Officials said she was under veterinary care at the time and her death was attributed to natural causes.
The IDNR said there are two other bison who are still at the park: Cocoa and her three-year-old calf Hope.
The bison are not the only thing people at Buffalo Rock State Park can enjoy there, officials said. The park can also accommodate camping, hiking, picnicking, e-bike rentals and access to the I&M Canal State Trail.
