Even when there is not much action from the standpoint of violence on “Scandal,” there is still almost always quite a bit going on. Therefore, you really have to imagine that things are going to go haywire when the new season begins.
According to a report from E! News, the show’s third episode of the season (which airs on Thursday, October 17) is going to feature a bevy of dangerous people who could be both working for and against President Fitzgerald Grant. We’re talking here about a SWAT Team, Secret Service agents, and also a sniper thrown in there for good measure.
Is Tony Goldwyn’s character really in danger of losing his life? Not necessarily, but it is pretty easy to jump to a certain dark conclusion once you look back at the characters being cast. Anytime that you see a sniper on a show about a President, it’s never a good sign, and there are definitely a number of people out there who could be interested in killing him, regardless of whether you are talking about political adversaries or even some crazy people out there who are so upset about his affair with Olivia Pope that they decide to take matters into their own hands.
Within the first two episodes of the season, we’re going to see where the love triangle of Olivia / Fitz / Mellie stands now following the reveal, and whether or not there is any sort of suspicion about the First Lady being the leak … even though we are pretty sure that she’s not. There are also some other stories to be explored, including some more backstory for our other established characters. Personally, we’re still hoping for more from Huck; as a matter of fact, we’ve already written extensively about our desire to see it happen.

The Obama administration is little different to the previous Bush regime:
The government is failing in more and more cases to produce evidence that the men it has imprisoned at Guantanamo belong there, according to ProPublica’s latest look at the lawsuits  that some 100 captives have filed in federal court to seek their freedom. But the Obama administration continues to challenge the courts’ authority to make it release the prisoners.
In 34 out of the 47 cases that have been decided so far — over 70 percent — detainees have won judgments that the United States is subjecting them to indefinite detention as al-Qaida or Taliban enemies without proof, and that they must be released. Federal judges have been reviewing classified intelligence and interrogation reports since June 2008, when the Supreme Court recognized the detainees’ right to sue. The remaining prisoners have been held seven years or longer.

Hand held, again. I know its not a great shot, but I was wondering how do you catch a shot of something small that moves around so quickly? Is it patience, with the camera aimed at one spot until an insect lands? Or how does one capture a dragonfly shot, as that's what I would like to do. I've ben mulling it over. Do you have to go out really early in the morning when insects are slow and cold?

The theory of longitudinal vibrations of a conical elastic body in an elastic medium
Keywords: solid elastic body, elastic medium, functional of Ostrogradsky-Hamilton, longitudinal vibrations, eigenforms, eigenfrequencies, Ritz method
AbstractAim. To elaborate the theory of longitudinal vibrations of a solid elastic body with one fi xed end in the elastic medium. The example of such a body may be found in a sugar beet root in soil, the latter being elastic medium. Methods. The principle of stationary action of Ostrogradsky-Hamilton and the Ritz method were applied in the work. Results. The Ritz method was applied to obtain the Ritz frequency equation for the oscillating process under investigation. The analytic expressions were defi ned to determine the fi rst and second eigenfrequencies of vibration and the amplitude of constrained vibrations of any of its cross-sections. The values of the fi rst and second eigenfrequencies of the elastic body under investigation with specifi c geometric and physical pa- rameters were found. The dependency diagrams for the fi rst and second eigenfrequencies on the coeffi cient of elastic contraction of soil as the elastic medium, and the dependency diagrams for the amplitude of constrained oscillations of the mentioned body on the coeffi cient c of elastic deformation of soil and the distance of the cross-section of the body from the conditional point of fi xation were drawn. The dependency diagrams for the amplitude of constrained oscillations of the elastic body on the change in the amplitude and the frequency of perturbing force were obtained. Conclusions. The impossibility of resonance occurrence was substantiated as the frequency of the perturbing force cannot equal the frequency of eigenvibrations of the elastic body due to technological and technical reasons. It was proven that the breaking of the elastic body is impossible with lon- gitudinal deformations due to the shortness of the amplitude of longitudinal vibrations of the mentioned body.

(CNN)Around the arena, people with the intellectual illness die up to twenty years in advance than the overall population, and a comprehensive new file shows that governments and health care companies must do more to stop the deaths.
“The disparities in physical health effects for humans with intellectual infection are presently regarded as a human rights scandal,” said Joseph Firth, a studies fellow at the University of Manchester and chairman of the Lancet Psychiatry Commission, which posted the studies.
His group analyzed nearly 100 studies and discovered that most intellectual contamination dies early now not due to suicide — although those account for approximately 17% of unnatural deaths — however due to “terrible bodily health” that could be largely preventable.
Researchers found that people with mental fitness problems face up to twice the threat of cardiometabolic illnesses along with diabetes and stroke. As an example, in human beings with depression, the threat of cardiac disease, diabetes, or obesity is about forty% higher than in the wellknown population.
Mental illness can boom the hazard of bodily ailment, and bodily ailment itself will increase the hazard of mental contamination, Firth stated. “Having obesity or diabetes will increase your risk causally of developing a psychiatric condition, and vice versa.”
Sometimes, that’s because treatments for intellectual illness can trigger or worsen bodily health troubles. The document determined, as an example, that many drugs used to deal with mental illnesses — which include antidepressants, antipsychotics, and temper stabilizers — may have negative results on metabolism and heart health.
“As a result, patients who benefit weight have a discounted adherence to treatment, which could cause relapse and terrible intellectual health effects,” the report stated. The tablets still “do greater exact than damage,” Firth introduced, but he emphasized that medical doctors need to reveal and manipulate any detrimental consequences.
People with intellectual illness acquire poorer care
Almost all intellectual ailments are also associated with a few ways of life threat factors — behaviors that make illnesses inclusive of heart disorder much more likely — and “people with mental contamination generally tend to have greater unhealthy lifestyles in comparison with the general population,” the record located.
People with principal despair are much more likely to smoke and be depending on nicotine, as an example. They feature a significantly worse eating regimen than the overall population, according to the researchers. Almost one in 5 human beings with anxiety disorders misuse alcohol and those with social phobia report less physical activity.
But even after controlling for danger factors and smoking, physical activity, and body mass index, the report found that deaths remained better in people with intellectual contamination. That suggests humans with intellectual contamination get hold of poorer care than those without psychiatric troubles, researchers said.
For example, the record found that human beings with excessive intellectual infection are less likely to have a bodily examination than their peers. They additionally have greater emergency branch visits, and health facility admissions for conditions that need to be avoidable might be avoided with appropriate primary care.

Larry June has just wrapped up his run alongside Smokepurpp on the Monster Outbreak Tour and has wasted no time in delivering the goods with his latest “Trap Trap Trap” song. Produced by Sledgren, June pops out with his signature drawl, vacillating between boasts about stacking coins and of course, being the healthiest dude in this thing called rap. Towards the end of the cut, you can even hear him a PSA about keeping flax seeds on his person at all times.
“When you’re healthy your mind stays healthy, you know what I’m sayin,” he previously explained in an interview about his diet. “We need all organic shit. We need clean food, you only got one body to take care of.” Good job, Larry.
“Trap Trap Trap” arrives as just a taste of what Larry's been cooking up on his forthcoming Sock It To Me Pt. 2 project. Take a full listen now.

In a first, Uttarakhand Police train street dogs to recruit them in dog squad; strays outperform expensive breeds
The video and pictures from Uttarakhand Police's experiment have gone viral on Twitter and people are appreciating this experiment by calling it resourceful and kind at the same time.
In a first of its kind experiment in India, the Uttarakhand Police inducted stray dogs and trained them to become a part of the police force.
Praising the performance of street dogs, Uttarakhand Police took to Twitter and shared videos and pictures from the successful experiment.
Twitterrati applauded and congratulated Uttarakhand Police for this move while calling it resourceful and kind.
In a first of its kind experiment in India, the Uttarakhand Police inducted stray dogs and trained them to become a part of the police force which generally trains foreign breeds such as German Shepherds, Great Swiss Mountain Dogs, and Labradors. To everyone's surprise the strays outperformed expensive breeds of dogs, looked disciplined and synchronised.
Praising the performance of street dogs, Uttarakhand Police took to Twitter and said, "Galiyon mein ghumne wala awara doggy aaj Uttarakhand Police ke shwaan dal ki shaan bana hua hai. Desh mein pehli baar ye prayog kiya hai Uttarakhand Police ne. Sadkon pe awaara ghoomne wala doggy ko police ki training di toh vo naami naslon ke laakhon rupaiye ke daam waale doggy se kahin aage nikla (The strolling dog in the streets is the pride of the #UttarakhandPolice dog team today . Uttarakhand Police has used this for the first time in the country. When the dog who roamed the streets wandered the police, he got ahead of the dog with a price of lakhs of rupees.)"
गलियों में घूमने वाला आवारा डॉगी, आज #UttarakhandPolice के श्वान दल की शान बना हुआ है। देश में पहली बार यह प्रयोग किया है उत्तराखंड पुलिस ने। सड़कों पर आवारा घूमने वाले डॉगी को पुलिस की ट्रेनिंग दी तो वह नामी नस्लों के लाखों रुपये के दाम वाले डॉगी से कहीं आगे निकला। pic.twitter.com/AbOVXKlYq0

The Twitter handle of Uttarakhand Police also carries a video of their sniffer dog squad: "This sniffer dog team is the pride of #UttarakhandPolice . For the first time in the country, Uttarakhand Police has used the street dog of the street to train and use it to join this dog team. See some amazing tricks of this team."
#UttarakhandPolice की शान है यह स्निफर डॉग दल। देश में पहली बार उत्तराखंड पुलिस ने गली के स्ट्रीट डॉग को ट्रेन कर इस श्वान दल में शामिल करने का प्रयोग किया है। देखिये इस दल के कुछ जांबाज करतब। pic.twitter.com/sQ1o1gxgDX

The video and pictures from Uttarakhand Police's experiment have gone viral on Twitter and people are appreciating this experiment by calling it "resourceful" and "kind" at the same time. Some users said, "Please use indie dogs more. They are highly intelligent and adaptable breed" while others hoped other state police to take cues from this and recruit strays.
Super and well trained...
Other state policy departments should adopt local breeds

We love this experiment. Please use indie dogs more. They are highly intelligent and adaptable breed — Anushri Bajaj (@anushri_bajaj) November 17, 2019
Really great work @uttarakhandcops .
Proud of you 👍

Beautiful stance, this will be a slap on those who say strays are worthless...... This is the proof of their potential.
— rajarshi. brahma85 (@RBrahma85) November 19, 2019
Wonderfull job by the police of uttrakhand. May all states encourage with this act and summon their official to do through which we can safe many street dogs as well as use them in security and also promote humanism too.

Representatives from the Nation’s six major climate modeling centers will met for the 4th year in a row to work towards developing a common national climate modeling strategy and coordinate activities at the centers. Through annual discussions drawing upon the centers’ complementary strengths, the U.S. Climate Modeling Summit (USCMS) provides a foundation to improve our nation’s modeling and prediction capabilities. Building on outcomes from the 2017 USCMS, day one of this year’s meeting included a workshop on “Land-Atmosphere Interactions and Extremes”. The workshop focused on prioritizing research and development for the modeling centers and promoting interactions among the centers and with the broader community to advance the workshop topical areas, such as hydrological extremes, and coastal, land and human interactions. Day two involved high-level discussions among modeling center representatives as well as sponsoring agency representatives to improve coordination between the groups. This year the meeting also focused on initial progress made at centers for Phase 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project. The USCMS is an activity of the USGCRP – Interagency Group for Integrative Modeling (IGIM). For the past year, the NOAA National Weather Service’s Hendrik Tolman has served as USCMS Chair and NOAA Research’s Annarita Mariotti has served as USCMS Coordinator; both have served a leading role on the organizing committee for this meeting.
The 4th USCMS convened April 4 and 5th at the National Center for Weather and Climate Prediction in College Park.

By Nancy Street, PJALS member
Some of you have followed the progress of Yvette Louisell as published in the Handful of Salt over many years. Part 1 appeared in 2005 and Part 2 in 2010. Seventeen year-old Yvette, who is biracial, was a first-year scholarship student at Iowa State University, when she stabbed and killed a middle-aged white man in 1987. The trial carried out by an all-white jury in rural Fort Dodge, Iowa handed down a sentence of Life Without Parole.
While in prison, Yvette completed her B.S. from Iowa State University, published poems and short stories, and received a huge number of certificates of accomplishments. She benefited from resources made available to her to progress in life, and is an inspiration to many. Even the original prosecutor testified on her behalf.
Because she was such an exceptional inmate, she was granted a parole hearing about 6 years ago, but parole was denied. In 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court decided in Miller vs. Alabama, which was argued by Bryan Stephenson author of Just Mercy and Director of Equal Justice Initiative, that sentencing juveniles to life without parole was cruel and unusual punishment. Governor Terry Bransted of Iowa, then, commuted all juveniles sentenced to Life Without Parole to 60 years.
For the past four years, Yvette’s case wound its way through the courts and on Wednesday, August 10, 2016, Yvette will begin work release and parole after dealing with prison for 28 years. She is now 45 years old, but is so excited to start a new life outside prison walls. Like all of us, she deserves a second chance.

Pennsylvanians call for an election do-over to get fiscally responsible leadership in Washington
HARRISBURG — Republican Party of Pennsylvania Chairman Rob Gleason released the following statement today in response to President Obama’s budget address:
“Last year, Democrats controlled the White House, the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House, and they still couldn’t pass a budget on time. Now, President Obama wants a budget do-over, filled with tax hikes and more spending. It has become clear that what we really need is an election do-over to get a real, fiscally responsible leader in the White House. Pennsylvanians are not only fed up with government spending, we are tired of having a President who hides from tackling tough issues for months on end, and in the final hour swoops in with a pretty speech. We don’t need rhetoric, we need leadership,” Chairman Rob Gleason said.
“It’s clear to everyone except the President that our country doesn’t have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem. Republicans have stepped up to fill the leadership void by offering solutions to shrink the deficit without succumbing to tax hikes, which will only fuel our addiction to Washington’s spending problem rather than helping curb it. In Governor Tom Corbett, we now have this type of courageous leadership in Harrisburg, and we now need the same from Washington.”

In the midst of an overdose crisis, the Connecticut legislature can do a number of important things to save lives. Expanding the drug war is not one of them.
Earlier this month, the Connecticut House of Representatives unanimously passed a bill (HB 5524) to increase the criminal penalties for sale of fentanyl — an all-too familiar response by lawmakers to drug problems.
Fentanyl is the potent synthetic opioid that is becoming more common in the illicit drug market and has been linked to — but is by no means the only cause of — rising overdose deaths. Rather than focus on health-based interventions that have been proven to save lives, lawmakers are again turning to drug-war solutions that make for convenient soundbites but terrible policy. The Senate should unanimously reject the measure.
The drug war has always been a bipartisan affair. Republican and Democratic presidents alike have prosecuted the drug war with great fervor. In Connecticut, the drug war has seen support from Democrats and Republicans. But the state has also become a national leader in rolling back the drug war and mass incarceration, and that, too, has often been a bipartisan effort. Which is why lawmakers today should know better than to propose more drug wars over fentanyl.
Drug war criminalization has never worked, and has always been marked by stunning racial bias. Like the inequity between enforcement of mandatory minimum penalties for crack and powder cocaine for more than 40 years, when lawmakers propose more drug wars as a solution, we never see healthier, safer communities, but we almost always wind up with disparate impact on people of color, people living in poverty, people experiencing mental illness, and those struggling with addiction.
Substantial research has been conducted to determine whether increased criminal penalties have the desired effects of reducing the supply of drugs or the demand for them; findings reveal they have done neither. Instead, criminalization undermines avenues to reducing harms associated with drug use.
Studies on tough-on-crime policies demonstrate that incarceration does not decrease the demand for drugs. One study found that states that increase their incarceration rates do not experience a decrease in drug use. Books such as Michelle Alexander’s The New Jim Crow have detailed the systemic racism of the drug war and mass incarceration, charting how it came about — often with proposals just like HB 5524.
If we learned anything from the ways in which “tough on crime” approaches like increased criminal penalties, sentencing disparities and mandatory minimums devastated families and communities at the height of the modern era of mass incarceration, it is that the harms of drug criminalization are far greater than those associated with drugs themselves. This is one reason why, in the face of the opioid crisis, so many law enforcement leaders and elected officials have said, “we can’t arrest our way out of this problem.” Yet legislation like HB 5524 represents efforts to do exactly that.
So instead of failed drug-war tactics, what should we be doing to save lives and reduce harm? We know that we can address the overdose crisis and reduce drug-related harm through increasing access to drug treatment and medications like methadone and buprenorphine; providing housing-first options for people experiencing homelessness; expanding harm reduction resources like syringe exchange, overdose prevention, fentanyl test trips, and safer consumption sites; and advancing sensible criminal justice reforms like full drug decriminalization.
Criminalization fails to deliver safety to our communities and diverts resources away from increasing access to evidence-based health and harm reduction services.
Fortunately, Connecticut knows how to do this. Connecticut has a lengthy history of progressive legislation related to addiction, particularly in relation to the overdose crisis. Over the last 20 years, while other states increased mandatory minimums and hyper enforcement, Connecticut worked to expand access to syringes and naloxone, increase access to drug treatment, and expand public health strategies like pre-arrest diversion and harm reduction across the state.
The state has steadily reduced its prison population, tested new programs to reduce incarceration and recidivism, and quietly become a national leader in the fight to end the drug war and mass incarceration. It is understandable in the face of a crisis in which over 1,000 Connecticut residents died last year that elected officials feel significant pressure and a strong desire to respond aggressively. They should — we must act to save lives. However, arrests and incarceration is not the answer. We can and should wisely choose investments in health, safety, and support instead if we are to stem the tide of death and destruction in our communities.

The topic of self-care has become a common trend during recent years. After all, the main purpose of going on a holiday is to have a stress-free time while taking a break from your hectic lifestyle. What more when the majority of us have chronic back pain by sitting at our desks for a long period of time in this frantic lifestyle.

Save one day just for a relaxing time at a spa and pamper yourself to the core with the many facilities available. Most of these spas have an amazing view with amazing massages to treat your body aches as well so you could kill two birds with one stone!

2022 has been a year filled with volatility for the compliance landscape.
The slow recovery of the COVID-19 pandemic, rise in financial fraud and the financial turmoil and fragilities in the global economy after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has contributed to the volatility.
On top of that, the happenings of the year had wide-reaching implications throughout the industries, making many companies fall into the bear market and many labelling the season as a “Crypto Winter”.
Assessing the impacts, it has dramatically altered the way people view compliance and crypto space. What are some actions that companies can take note of and implement into the business? What are some key insights to compliance challenges for companies moving forward? These are some questions that can help companies prepare themselves for 2023 and beyond.
Russia-Ukraine War: Increased in Compliance Risk & Crypto Crimes
Drawing into the tenth month, the Russia-Ukraine War has had global impact — specifically the financial and international trading sector and the crypto space. The war has proven the result of the capabilities of crypto in a real-world conflict and a country’s economic and operational resilience. The unjustified and forceful invasion of Ukraine has led to an unprecedented range of international sanctions imposed against Russia.
This rollout of stringent sanctions is aimed at restricting Russia’s access to imported goods and advanced technology that would aid in their development of military capabilities. Ultimately, the sanctions are intended to increase pressure on Russia’s President, Putin, to agree to a peace settlement that is beneficial and mutually accepted by both countries.
Subsequently, this has also led to the heightening of the businesses’ compliance risk since the update of red flag indicators, and risk engines cannot be effectively performed and enforced immediately.
Due to the prominent role played in the usage of crypto for both countries, the war has also been named by many as the first crypto war. In particular, the Ukrainian government has been soliciting crypto donations to support the military needs and humanitarian endeavours. The donations have certainly demonstrated that if crypto is used wisely, it can benefit all.
However, though the funding has been helpful in supporting the Ukrainian cause, several malicious scammer syndicates have been attempting to take advantage of the well wishes. This is by sending deceptive email and emphasising on the dire need of the donor’s help, increasing the number of crypto crimes.
Meanwhile, Russia is using crypto to evade sanctions on international banking and shipping by leveraging the features of blockchain technology – the design of a pseudonymous system when transacting and the ability to transect directly. Similarly, the coordination with countries like Turkey and China contributes to the avoidance of sanctions.
Crypto & VIrtual Asset Space: Enhanced Regulatory Scrutiny
The continuous development of the crypto ecosystem has increased the public’s adoption of crypto and uncovers both opportunities and risks. In July 2022, the valuation of the crypto ecosystem decreased to below $1 trillion, compared to the valuation of $3 trillion in November 2021, illustrating a strong volatility in the crypto space. Connecting to a case of the market volatility and the fastest downfall of a crypto company is the recent downfall of FTX in November.
The lower valuation is supported by the climbing losses to crypto hacks as at November 2022, where the amount has accumulated to an astonishing $3 billion. Mainly exploited through cross-chain bridges and decentralised finance (DeFi) applications, the $625 million crypto hacked on the Axie Infinity’s Ronin Bridge is an example of the highest loss of crypto hacked.
Previously in 2021, the crypto hack had amounted to $3.2 billion. The slight difference in the amount hacked has therefore resulted in speculations that the amount may continue to rise and make 2022 become the largest year for crypto crimes.
The crypto ecosystem now calls for increased scrutiny to reduce the likelihood of impact on financial stability and the need to protect vulnerable users’ from investment risk, cyber resilience and regulatory certainty.
On a governance level, one of the key updates includes the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS’) approach to the crypto ecosystem and a proposal of measures to reduce users’ risk to cryptocurrency trading. Held the summit of the Group of 20 (G20) industrialised countries in Bali, Indonesia, last month, the leaders recognised the necessity for international rules and frameworks to govern crypto assets. In essence, the regulators looking closely at the AML/counter-finance terrorism practices (CFT) will be constantly revising and expanding the relevant AML/CFT requirements.
Invariably, on the corporate’s level and responsibility, companies will need to exercise more prudence and ensure compliance with the evolving regulatory changes and expectations. A step observed taken by unregulated crypto exchanges operating outside of a country’s jurisdiction are the seeking of licences in numerous countries to prove the business’ legitimacy. To attest and prove the business’ value and solvency, many crypto companies are imposing Proof-of-Reserves as well.
Over the two years of establishment, the Regtank team has been continuously committed to making compliance easy for clients. This year, Regtank has formed partnerships with Protocon and Avarta to complement the technology stack, and the one-stop compliance solution offered to clients.
Despite the growing cost of compliance, Regtank is confident in aiding companies to reduce risk and facilitate a timely assessment and update of risk engines. The capabilities of Regtank can be proven by how the team is recognised as a growing RegTech company and was inducted into the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) SG:D Spark Accelerator programme.
Regtank has been awarded the “RegTech Award” by the Regulation Asia Awards for Excellence 2022, the “Best Transaction Reporting Solution” organised by the A-Team RegTech Insight APAC Awards 2022, and many more.
The Beginning of New Changes
There is no doubt that the crypto ecosystem and the compliance landscape will continue to advance. To keep up with emerging crimes and industry trends, regulatory bodies around the world are quickening their pace in revising existing guidelines. The downfall of FTX and its domino effect has built concern for users to seek greater transparency and better guidance and regulations from central banks and regulators moving forward in 2023.
Inevitably, this would also mean that financial institutions and companies will have to navigate more challenges in this increasingly complex regulatory environment.
This is backed by the growing importance of the compliance standard which 76% of the Nasdaq report respondents have indicated that their companies are looking forward to when working with companies.
As such, regarding the protection of the users’ funds and the company’s adherence to the compliance landscape and the AML/CFT, Regtank recommends that companies should adopt a risk-based approach for the effective implementation of relevant guidelines.

Kudos to Chris Hightower’s Jan. 25 letter in reference to “School ends a dream.” That is my sentiment exactly.
There are many concerned parents and sports enthusiasts who agree. Why do they not speak up? For some, if they do address their concern to the coach or athletic director at Danville High School, their child is subject to not play or will see less playing time, regardless of the talent he/she might have.
If a player does not dance to the tune of the athletic director, he most definitely will not be a successful football or basketball player at DHS. An example: If his desire is for a student to play football, and the student chose not to, the student, can forget about playing basketball. That’s null and void. He can make the team, even the starting five, but his playing time is determined not by his skills, but by an egotistical, small-town athletic director.
Is there any other staff person in the district who has that kind of power? Where is the chain of command? My hope is the principal and superintendent retire with a clear conscience, and not close their eyes to the debilitating abuse of our youth by the athletic director and coach.
Mr. Hightower, I, too, am outraged, saddened and deeply disappointed in our DHS athletic department, but Donte Ingram will be a success, with or without “Doing It In Danville.” I still hope District 118 will support our youth by being a dreammaker, not a dream-taker.

Data loggers are ideal for monitoring many agricultural and livestock processes. From the monitoring of temperature and humidity in commercial greenhouses to the ambient monitoring of livestock enclosures and feed warehousing or storage of wine during the fermentation process, data loggers provide an inexpensive means of monitoring parameters such as humidity, temperature and carbon monoxide both indoors and outdoors.
Temperature and humidity loggers can monitor climatic patterns to help identify optimum planting areas, and can also monitor greenhouse or warehouse environments which need to be maintained at specified temperatures and humidity levels for optimum crop cultivation and storage.
Data loggers can be used to monitor conditions to help ensure animals are kept in the correct environment, to help with wellbeing and to reduce disease and losses from environmental impact. Monitoring temperature and humidity of animal enclosures and warehousing can help to show trends in these factors and their effect on animal welfare.
FilesThruTheAir™ data loggers can also be used in monitoring vaccinations and medicines in veterinary practices. Use of our glycol probes can replicate temperatures of vaccinations in refrigeration, ensuring the medicines vets use are stored in appropriate and safe conditions.

Looking down on paid reach is a thing of the past.
More companies than ever before are using social media as their main source of advertising to reach out to their audience on a daily basis.
However, not all social media platforms are alike; they attract people and receive attention differently. This means it’s important to analyze your target audience by figuring out where they spend most of their time on social media, to maximize the number of clicks and follows you’ll achieve.
Your first step: Get to know the different ad features that different social media platforms offer.
Instagram and Facebook ad stats
If you’re thinking of paying for reach, Facebook is most likely the first to come to mind. Why? —Well it is because the social media giant has taken the lead for most active users. With over 5 million companies investing in advertising, ad revenues have grown tremendously, thus CTR will also see a likely increase—giving brands that needed exposure.
Ever since Instagram started offering promoted advertisements 75% of users actually click on the ads and visit company websites, tell their friends, post about it onto another platform, and even make purchases through these ads. Most Instagram users have also claimed they learned more about advertised products or services through these ads.
They both offer similar advertising options
The simplest form of an ad; conveying your message with the power of a single image.
If you are looking for a cost efficient way to convey your brand message, video ads are the way to go! Video ads can help you show the true nature of your brand, and is more likely to leave a long lasting impression. Brandnetworks have found that the number of impressions on video ads has grown increasingly within a short period of time, and with the potential to grow even further there is no reason to be skipping out on this one!
They say it’s the most efficient form of ad, showcasing a slideshow of images at a time. According to Digiday, carousel ads have a 10 time better CTR than the standard sponsored posts.
As this type of ad is visually heavy, it is the perfect way to convey a story that’s true to your brand and its image. It’s an amazing way to market yourself or your company to your targeted audience. However, they only work to your advantage if your brand is a producer of material products instead of services, since it’s easier to market a tangible product on a visually heavy platform.
A recent feature exclusive to Instagram, these are full-screen ads that appear as users scroll through their story dashboard. With 200 million Instagram users daily, advertising through stories has become a new and effective tool for brands. Not only will companies be able to reach a wider audience, but they’ll also be able to increase interaction and engagement with their existing followers.
Instagram advertising is all based upon algorithms
Ads are presented to users based on their searches, views, and likes, and are showcased to users that prove to have similar interests. This is a superb function because it brings attention to your brand from the right audience, while allowing you to engage with your online market without demanding any additional work from the user.
“We’ve been early adopters of Instagram Stories and were impressed by the reach and engagement. Our recent campaigns which included a stories link, received 5X more clicks to site and engagement when compared to the average seen across our other social channels.”- Felipa Monteiro, Head of Digital Marketing, Mulberry
Instagram also provides business accounts with analytics on performance demographics such as reach, impressions, replies, and exits on all your ads. You can even customize your settings to see only the data you’re interested in.
Both Instagram and Facebook enable businesses to connect with their targeted audience by exposing ads based on:
Both social media platforms have much to offer businesses. By increasing the number of users and engagement rates, they allow brands to build strong and desired identities.


text: I've been adding Sta-Bil to all my equipment and gas tanks in anticipation of winter storage. Perhaps it is just my imagination, but it seems the trimmer, in particular, starts more easily, and idles smoother. And, no, it shouldn't have needed a tune-up, because I just had my dealer do one on it perhaps 6 hours or so ago. I was wondering if anyone uses Sta-Bil or another fuel stabilizer all the time, and if you figure it is worth the effort or expense. Thanks.

I was inspired to start this blog after hearing some truly terrible examples of music in the Lutheran Church.
I am a full time music minister in the LCMS, and I have a degree in piano from the University of North Texas (which we all know is the best music school in the world). I have been in church music for over 15 years and have been the director of music ministry for 10 +.
I am currently (after a 17 year hiatus!) pursuing a Masters in Organ Performance with Church Music as a related field at the aforementioned UNT.
I would love to discuss the future of the liturgy, the direction of church music, the relevance of "historical" music (my term) etc.
I intend this discussion to be mostly from a musical perspective, not necessarily a thoological one, although, we are as we worship!
These discussions have been mostly driven by pastors and lay people. Although I am keenly interested in their opinions, I really want those church musicians, either full time or bi-vocational to chime in! Look forward to your opinions!

Inexperienced hydrogen now quantities to a small fraction of world hydrogen use, estimated to be about 70 million tons per 12 months. Most commercially produced hydrogen is gray hydrogen, produced utilizing fossil fuels, and blue hydrogen that can be made utilizing fossil fuels however with the usage of carbon seize programs to cut back emissions. The manufacturing of inexperienced hydrogen leads to the emission of little to no greenhouse gases.
In offering coverage incentives for inexperienced hydrogen manufacturing, India is following the lead of many different international locations corresponding to China, the European Union and the USA. Vitality analysts count on manufacturing prices for inexperienced hydrogen to fall considerably within the subsequent few years and estimate the inexperienced hydrogen market will develop 20-fold to $80 billion by the 12 months 2030.
“A strong coverage framework, requisite monetary assist and an enabling ecosystem for know-how growth are important to displace the nation’s typical gas combine with inexperienced hydrogen and improve its industrial competitiveness in an more and more decarbonizing world,” mentioned Shreyans Jain, an India-based sustainable enterprise technique advisor who carefully tracks developments within the inexperienced hydrogen business.

Considering that the image of natural scenery has fractal character, a wavelet fractal interpolation algorithm is presented, which is applied in remote sensing image processing. The wavelet transform processes the high frequency information and the low frequency information simultaneously, which is like the human visual system. The fractal interpolation algorithm can preserve the texture information of image. So, the wavelet fractal interpolation algorithm uses fractal interpolation algorithm to anticipate the high frequency part on high resolution from the high frequency part on low resolution. It has been found that this new wavelet fractal interpolation has better performance than the existing bilinear interpolation algorithm.

Just days before a study from the Center for Science in the Public Interest lambasted fast food restaurants for the nutritional failures of their children's meals, McDonald's director of nutrition, Cindy Goody, defended the chain's menu offerings as healthy.
"We're making nutrition more mainstream at McDonald's today," Goody told The Salt Lake Tribune on Tuesday. She noted that in the past few years, McDonald's has added oatmeal dishes, chicken sandwiches with buns that boast 8 grams of whole grains and a new Happy Meal with apples and a smaller portion of fries. Chocolate milk, once 1 percent fat, is now fat-free.
"All of that came from careful listening to moms in particular and recognizing people are becoming more mindful about what they're putting in their mouth," she said.
Goody went on to declare that processed food could "absolutely" be healthy, offering up examples from her own diet:
I'm a mom of a 2-year-old and I gained the prerequisite [sic] 30 pounds and I was able to lose all that baby weight. I don't have a fast metabolism and I eat at McDonald's once or twice a day. Really. Plus I work out the recommended 5 hours a week. I may eat an Egg McMuffin and apples. My new thing is to have either a hamburger or a double hamburger, no cheese, two bags of apple slices and an oatmeal cookie and still keeping it under 600 calories.
Goody spoke to the Tribune as part of McDonald's promotion of its new McWrap line. Earlier this week, Advertising Age wrote about an internal McDonald's memo that referred to the McWrap has a "Subway buster"; McDonald's hopes to chip away at its rival's popularity with millennial customers. Depending on whether one chooses grilled or deep-fried chicken, the wraps range from 360 to 600 calories.
According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest study, Subway's eight children's offerings are exceptions to the usual fast food fare for kids. All met the center's nutrition criteria; kid-sized subs at Subway come with apple slices; and low-fat milk or bottled water is offered in place of soda.

The Herland Report TV (HTV): Hanne Nabintu Herland speaks to reverend Kirbyjon Caldwell about the growing divisiveness in America and what it takes to mend divisions.
Kirbyjon Caldwell has been featured extensively in the American and international media, at the BBC, The Wall Street Journal, CBS and many others. He is in Newsweek’s “Century Club”, the list of the 100 people to watch as America moved into the 21st century.
“It’s very easy to see America perhaps as a crumbling country. I’m one who is very careful about what I say, because I think the power of life and death is in the tongue. So, I am not yet ready to say that America is crumbling. I would readily acknowledge that America is divisive, if not very divisive,” says Caldwell in this new program, one of the leading spiritual leaders in America and the Senior Pastor of Windsor Village Methodist Church in Houston, Texas.
“In fact, without revealing any identity, I will say to you that one of the former presidents of the US shared with me in a private conversation that he was concerned about the current level of divisiveness in the country.”
“So, I would readily commit admit that there is a spirit of divisiveness in the country. Some would even argue that that divisiveness has reached a level of toxicity. Meaning that you can almost sense the toxic elements in the atmosphere if you would. I am not a historian, so I am not prepared to give you a historical analysis and track a trend per se. But, I will suggest to you that it seems as if persons are retreating to their respective silos of homogeneity. ”

Regarding contamination, Public Health France recorded 22,767 this Saturday, against 21,493 Friday, and 10,949 seven days ago.
This increase in contamination has been observed for a little over a week now.
Towards an explosion of cases in August?
"We will arrive at 50,000 cases probably at the beginning of August," warned Professor Jean-François Delfraissy on Friday, while the pandemic is also blazing in the rest of Europe and in the United States.
"For the first time in 15 weeks", the increase in cases is accompanied by "a net increase in the rate of hospitalizations (+ 55%) and the number of patients admitted to critical care services (+ 35%)" , warned the French public health agency (SPF) in its weekly report.

Even if many of the new cases concern young populations, "it is not possible to let the virus run" to achieve collective immunity, explained during a press briefing Laetitia Huiart, scientific director at SPF.
To block the Delta variant, which is "extremely contagious", we must "strongly encourage vaccination to avoid a sharp increase in hospitalized patients and possible hospital tensions," she added.

The grain effect looks better in Left 4 Dead.
Vinny, I'm afraid that you are the worst Alien Swarm player I have ever seen, haha.
FISSION MAILED INDEED! I love me some MGS2 references. Game looks cool.
Wow, it is really hard to watch Vinny play this game. He is terrible and not even trying.
Free is the new...Paid.
Vinny sure sucks at this game.
" I get a serious Left 4 dead vibe from this. Hell it is left 4 dead but viewed from a different perspective, set in the future and with aliens instead of zombies. Other than those three things this game plays exactly like Left 4 dead "
very obviously not an internet flash game. pretty damn fun i must admit.
I played through this game the other day, it was short but sweet. I'd love to see new maps, and maybe some rebalancing of the infestors so that you don't necessarily need a dedicated medic.
They missed the best feature! You can draw things (dicks) on the map when everyones dies or wins after the mission and also this game rocks so hard!
" Vinny sure sucks at this game. "
This was awesome to watch, but can you guys set it up so you tracks the achievements now? :p
Seeing as this was put out by Valve, the kings of additional content, and has the source tools with it, I think we can expect a lot more content for this great game soon :D
Only disappointment is that it isn't available on Mac yet. Seems like a good game to play on my lappy. Since it's Source powered, seems like a port at this point would be very easy.
this game owns
I think Brad has now expressed surprise at how good the Source engine can look in 2 quick looks. It's a fully capable engine, Brad. It was designed to be able to evolve gracefully, and it has done just that.
Anyone who hears 'Sarge' and thinks of Quake 3 before Halo should get their head examined. Yeesh.
Tested need to set up a Alien swarm Server ASAP!!!
" @Levio said: " Its fun, but its so repetitive you'll get bored before unlocking all the guns. "I have to agree. It really could use something like the Director from Left 4 Dead, so that it wouldn't be the same every time. "
" Its fun, but its so repetitive you'll get bored before unlocking all the guns. "
Game of the Year for me. Hard mode isn't that hard if you have a good team online, but Insane mode actually requires people in the same room to survive. I mean in the very first mission, when running to the double-doors there are actually parasites lurking about. Thank god it's repetitive otherwise you'll die in 3,14 seconds - certainly not easy as Pi.
This game reminded me mostly of Crusader. Awesome game.
" @AndrewB: that's true, but who would play games on a mac anyway? that's like trying to watch tv on a radio "
Awesome game I am still playing it truckers and alien bugs, 2 sides of the same coinalso hard mode is a joke, INSANE mode isn't
In case anyone is wondering there is already a ton of player-made content for this, and there's a map editor and tools for making your own stuff etc. It seems like you'll eventually have to start downloading mods to keep enjoying it. Very fun game, in any case.
Learning the Valve Developer Console, starring Jeff & Vinny, with special guest, Brad.
Valve is wonderful for putting this out for free!
" @mikeeegeee said: " Wait, Will Smith?! "not that "will Smith" "
" @mikeeegeee said:
" Wait, Will Smith?! "
Source games cripple my PC. This ran at about 1 frame for every 6 seconds. Some day I will have a computer that can play games that came out after 2002 without bursting into flames.
This game works awesome with a 360 controller if you enable it in the console.
" @Hockeymask27 said: " @mikeeegeee said: " Wait, Will Smith?! "not that "will Smith" "Yes, "that Will Smith"... "
" Source games cripple my PC. This ran at about 1 frame for every 6 seconds. Some day I will have a computer that can play games that came out after 2002 without bursting into flames. "
That title screen totally looks like it says "Aliens Warm" to me. FILE UNDER: Can't Unsee.
Shame it isn't more Diablo style. I've love a solo part where you level up and gain new gear.
Ha, Brad said Fission Mailed. I say that like every time that goddamn screen pops up in any game, simply because that awesome inclusion and mindfuck in MGS.. 2? Was it?
I actually downloaded it but haven't tried it yet. Looks interesting at least.
I'd gladly pay $15 for this on a summer of arcade thing for XBLA. It's cool on PC, but all my friends are on live.
" This looks like the real fun is in the multiplayer and, unfortunately, that is where it falls apart. You have to know enough people who game much. Then enough of them who are interested in this type of game. Then enough of them that will actually download and play it. And when you're an adult, getting everyone together on the same schedule for some play time is pretty near impossible. Multiplayer stuff like this really seems aimed at reviewers who are surrounded by gamers. "
The best thing about this game is that it's completely open code. I foresee a lot of crazy options for the future.
Downloading now, looks awesome for a FREE game :D
I thought Will Smith was a pro at killing aliens at this point.
You can't beat the price of free

Welcome to this week’s podcast. This week Richard and I talk about the new education focused £2919 Surface Laptop SE and Windows 11 SE. We also have the latest Windows Insider news, Surface Duo 2 news, Android on Windows 11 and lots more.
Links from this week’s show:


A couple more instructions are left to fulfill the instructions set summary of the PIC 16F88 devices:
Now, let's see the instructions one by one:
This is the No Operation instructions. When this is executed, nothing will happen at all. It has no occurrence to anything on the chip or program. This instructions is commonly used to create time delays for synchronization or other purposes.
nop ;This program will do nothing at all nop nop
This instructions will clear the Watchdog timer. The Watchdog timer is a very useful independent on-chip timer that is used to ensure the chip is operating normally. When the Watchdog Timer is enabled, it will then require periodically a Watchdog Timer software reset via this instruction. The programmer needs to have put this instructions in strategically positions where it will periodically reset the Watchdog Timer. If the timer is not reseted within a preselected time period, the Watchdog Timer will reset the PIC and the program will start over, because it will assume that the program flow is interrupted of fallen into an infinitude loop. The Watchdog Timer will be extensively explained on the advanced book pages.
. . CLRWDT ;The Watchdog Timer is reseted . .
This instruction will put the chip into Sleep mode. Sleep mode is a state where the PIC will draw as low as 0.1uA current, and it will only have some basic operations still running for waking it up. The Sleep mode is basically for power maintenance.
When the SLEEP instruction is excecuted, the Watchdog timer and it's prescaller are cleared. The Power Down bit (-PD) is also cleared, and the Time Out Status bit (-TO) is set. The chip then goes into Sleep mode and the oscillator stops.

“These tools formed a way of thinking in my mind of how designs can use constraints to adapt to their containers. I continue to find that to be a useful mindset when I’m designing and I want access to that same logic in my design tools.”
I think this is exactly what designers need to do. Designers need to have an understanding of how the components we design are transformed into code including their classes, constraints and relationships. Then the design process becomes faster and easier.
But all of this needs to start with how designers construct components within their design tool. A designer is only as good as their toolset. A toolset that allows designers to design with constraints saves time, reduces the amount of pixel pushing and allows us to understand more relationships between the objects were using.
Sometimes I wonder if designers should just use code to design…but then tools like Subform are created and become game changers.
