For Immediate Release
ATF Classifies Fatal Stricker St. Fire as Incendiary
BALTIMORE, Md. – The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Baltimore Field Division has determined that the fire that killed three Baltimore City Fire Department firefighters is being classified as incendiary.
“Thoughts of Lt. Butrim, Lt. Sadler, and Firefighter/EMT Lacayo have been present in our minds every step of this investigation. We would like to thank members of the community who contacted ATF and our partners with information, as well as for their outpouring of support for Baltimore City Fire Department and the loved ones of these fallen heroes,” said ATF Baltimore Special Agent in Charge Toni M. Crosby. “The incendiary classification is an important step forward in this investigation. We will continue to work alongside our partners to ensure a complete and thorough investigation is completed.”
On January 24, 2022 at approximately 5:53 a.m., Baltimore City Fire Department responded to a two-alarm fire at 205 S. Stricker St. in Baltimore. A partial building collapse occurred and four firefighters became trapped inside the vacant home. Firefighter/EMT John McMaster was immediately pulled out and transported to Shock Trauma, where he was treated and released. Rescue efforts continued until first responders were able to remove the remaining three firefighters who died in the line of duty: Lt. Paul Butrim, Firefighter/EMT Kelsey Sadler (posthumously promoted to Lt.), and Firefighter/EMT Kenneth Lacayo.
ATF Baltimore Field Division Certified Fire Investigators, working alongside our partners in the Baltimore City Fire Department, Baltimore Police Department, and Maryland Office of the State Fire Marshal, have been conducting the investigation into the origin and cause of the fire. It is now classified as incendiary. ATF currently defines incendiary as a fire that is intentionally ignited or spread into an area where the fire should not be, and involves a violation of federal, state, local, or tribal law. Incendiary fires may also include fires that are not necessarily intentional, but directly result from other criminal activity.
Images and video of a person of interest were released early in the investigation. That individual has been identified and no additional tips from the public are needed. This remains an ongoing investigation and no additional information will be released at this time.

Miller’s Transport, Rose Lane
Millers Close is named after this family, not after an anonymous grain miller!
George Russell: At the other end of Rose Lane lived Johnny Miller, who did haulage works with horses – he also had his yard and stables there. Later when Johnny bought his first lorry, his son Bert came home to drive it for his father and lived next door with his family.
It was a Ford lorry with a canvas top and sides and during the week carried tar barrels or pigs, then after a good scrub wooden seats would be put in at the weekend to transport the local football team.
After his father’s death Bert carried on the business and moved into his father’s house.
Fred and Cicely Buckle: The fire engine was parked in the Fox yard, a big copper boiler on the back, 4 rubber-tyred wheels. If there was a fire, the factory hooter would sound once for in-village, twice for out-of-village; Mr Miller (who had a carrier business down Rose lane) would nip along with his lorry and hitch up.
Mr Miller had a haulage business, eventually had 2 big lorries. Miller Close is named after him.
Charles Nunn: Married Ivy Miller on her 21st birthday in 1941; her grandfather Jonathan Miller, and then father Bert, had a carrier business running a service to markets etc, Bury and Stowmarket…
Bert carried, horses initially….; supplied horses to pull the tarpots when they started macadaming the roads; also pulled the Elmswell fire engine: this was then a longish machine with a long wooden handle on either side, 4 or 5 men each side – he remembers it visited Norton for a demo – the only time he saw it himself. Of course this was before the Greene King steam one came.
The business was in Rose Lane, the first locally to have a petrol lorry; George Hurst used to drive for him, and Bert’s son Ron who eventually also took over, but for health reasons Ron couldn’t carry on and the firm folded.
Jean Folkard: Millers Transport was on the east side of Rose Lane

Visual art on the street is nothing new. Murals, graffiti, public sculpture installations — these are all forms with which people are pretty familiar.
But how does literature break into that public space? This weekend, Louisville Literary Arts wants to find out.
On Saturday, the organization — whose mission is “to enrich the literary arts in Louisville by engaging readers and writers” — is kicking off its 2016-2017 InKY reading series with an open mic at The Flea Off Market.
Ashlee Clark Thompson is a member of LLA’s board. She’ll be emceeing the event in addition to the season’s monthly InKY readings.
“This is a new partnership for us in terms of really finding a location where we can literally take literary arts to the streets and encourage people to come and read their original works — whether it is poetry, fiction, nonfiction — even songs,” Clark Thompson says.
For the group’s readings throughout the year, there is typically an open mic portion. But this is the first event where LLA will be relying solely on local writers to provide content.
“We’re trying to bring literary arts more to the Louisville community and providing people with more chances to not only share their work, but also to meet other writers in the area,” Clark Thompson says.
Writing can be isolating. And based on the response to the event so far, it looks like there will be plenty of opportunity to get connected. According to Clark Thompson, all advance sign-ups for the open mic have been filled.
Clark Thompson says there is still plenty of time open for day-of visitors to read.
“That’s one of the joys of an open mic, is just being able to work your way up to the event and deciding when you get there to read,” she says.

Recently he has been working with LL Cool J’s Godson, Greig “OB” Session from The Hitmasterz and The Hit Cartel Records. In support of his recent album, Gallagher opened for artists like Hugo (lead singer of Tantric) and other Connecticut bands like Signs of Rosetta and Klockwize. His music has been featured on many publications including Songcast and The Alternative Review. He was even casted as an extra on the CBS show Inspectors.While no doubt staying very busy, Joe Gallagher Jr released his new album “Side Effects” and the video for the track “Thunder”
“Thunder” begins with an acoustic guitar and steadily builds into the first verse. Instantly you are drawn to Gallagher’s voice. People say he sounds like the late Scott Weiland. Laid across a hypnotic, emotional melody, some might also be described as (the also late) Gord Downie mixed with gut wrenching gravel. The song does a nice toss between euphoric rises and peaking guitar solos while still remaining smooth and calm. You can listen to “Thunder” on our Prime Cuts Playlist on Youtube and you can follow Joe Gallagher Jr on the links below.

You remember waaaaay back when the PlayStation 4 was first revealed and one of the key features being touted for Sony’s new console was the ability to suspend your gameplay and then jump right back into the action without bothering with menus and whatnot? Well, that’s finally going to become a reality thanks to upcoming update 2.50.
Since everything these days needs a code name (And because, let’s face it, code names are rad), PS4 update 2.50 is being referred to as “Yukimura” and, from the sound of things, we should expect it to arrive on the console in the not too distant future.
SCEA Director of Product Planning and Software Innovation Scott McCarthy recently pulled back the curtain on Yukimura over on the PlayStation Blog, revealing a bunch of details about the new functionality it will bring to the PS4. Along with a few other nice tweaks and much-requested changes, that fabled Suspend/Resume feature will finally make its debut when the update launches.
It should come as no surprise that getting something like Suspend/Resume to work properly would take some time and, to be fair, we said from the beginning (literally two years ago) that all of those promised features likely wouldn’t be ready to roll on the PS4 come launch. Then again, I didn’t really expect it to take quite this long, either.
Anyway, McCarthy breaks it down thusly:
“Suspend/Resume, which will be supported by nearly all PS4 titles, will create an atmosphere where your games are immediately available at any time—just pick up your DualShock 4 wireless controller, hit the PS button and get right back into the action of your games,” he said. “When it’s time to log off, simply put your PS4 in Rest Mode and when you power up the next time, you’ll start your game where you left off. Spend less time getting into your games and more time playing them.”
If it actually works as advertised, then count me excited. The PS4 typically boots up and gets into games faster than last gen consoles, but the thought of being able to just push the button and get right back into Dying Light or grinding in Destiny would be an extremely nice feature.
Actually, I think games like Destiny, Final Fantasy XIV and Dragon Ball Xenoverse will be the exception to this rule, due to their online nature. You need to sign into their own servers before playing, so I’m guessing that such a structure won’t allow for simply popping in and out with the Suspend/Resume feature. The same goes for pretty much every free-to-play game on the console, too. We’ll just have to wait and see.
A handful of other new features are also being added with Yukumura, including the ability to upgrade a sub-account to a master account, the ability to search for friends via Facebook and a bump in remote play and share play to 60 fps. New accessibility options are also being introduced, alongside the ability to share video clips to Dailymotion and some tweaks to Trophies that allow you to automatically take a sreenshot when you earn a trophy, and you can finally delete games from your list if there are no trophies earned.

Maryland Special Warranty Deed Form
Need to create a Maryland special warranty deed?
Our deed creation software makes it easy. Just complete a user-friendly interview and get a customized deed that is attorney-designed to meet Maryland recording requirements.
What Is a Maryland Special Warranty Deed Form?
A Maryland special warranty deed form is a legal document used to transfer Maryland real estate with a limited warranty of title. A special warranty deed guarantees that the seller (grantor) has done nothing to impair the property’s title while he or she owned the property.1 A grantor who signs a special warranty deed promises to defend the new owner’s title against third-party claims based on something that occurred during the grantor’s ownership period. The grantor makes no promises about anything that did or did not occur while previous owners held title.
Maryland law provides special language that, when included in a deed, makes the deed a special warranty deed.2
What Is Warranty of Title?
A warranty of title in Maryland refers to the assurances and guarantees provided by a grantor to a grantee regarding the status of the property’s title. A complete warranty of title guarantees that there are no problems with the property’s title arising at any time during the property’s ownership history. A Maryland special warranty deed provides a limited warranty of title that covers any potential title issues that may have arose while the grantor owned the property.
Other Names for a Maryland Special Warranty Deed Form
While the term special warranty deed is common in many states, including Maryland, some states may use different names for the same type of deed with limited warranties. A special warranty deed may also be called a limited warranty deed, a covenant deed, or a grant deed.
The key characteristic of this type of deed is that the grantor warrants only against defects and encumbrances that occurred during his or her period of ownership, offering a more limited level of protection to the grantee compared to a general warranty deed.
How Do Maryland Special Warranty Deed Forms Relate to Other Forms of Deeds?
In Maryland, there are various types of deeds used for transferring real estate, each offering different levels of protection to the grantee. The main types of deeds used in Maryland, apart from the special warranty deed, are the general warranty deed, and the quitclaim deed.
- Maryland general warranty deed. A Maryland general warranty deed (also called simply warranty deed) provides the highest level of protection to the grantee, as it guarantees that the property title is free from any defects or encumbrances, regardless of when they originated.3 The grantor is responsible for defending the title against any lawful claims that may arise, even if they predate the grantor’s ownership.
- Maryland quitclaim deed. A Maryland quitclaim deed offers the least amount of protection to the grantee. The grantor makes no warranties or guarantees about the title and merely transfers whatever interest they may have in the property.4 The grantee assumes all risks associated with potential defects, liens, or encumbrances on the title.
The relationship between a Maryland special warranty deed and other types of Maryland deeds is mainly based on the level of protection and guarantees provided by the grantor to the grantee. A general warranty deed offers the most comprehensive protection, followed by a special warranty deed, while a quitclaim deed provides the least protection. Viewed differently, a general warranty deed places the most risk on the grantor, followed by a special warranty deed, and a quitclaim deed places no risk on the grantor.
Maryland Title Insurance and Special Warranty Deeds
Title insurance is an indemnity insurance policy designed to protect property owners and mortgage lenders from financial losses resulting from defects, liens, or encumbrances on a property’s title. When purchasing a property with a Maryland special warranty deed, title insurance can offer an additional layer of protection for the grantee beyond the limited warranties included in the deed itself.
Maryland Special Warranty Deed Forms and Other Maryland Deeds Used in Estate Planning
Estate planning involves the transfer of assets, including real estate, to designated beneficiaries upon the owner’s death, usually with the goal of avoiding probate. In Maryland, the main type of deed used for estate planning is a life estate deed. A life estate deed allows a property owner to retain a lifetime ownership interest in the real estate. The owner also transfers the right to future ownership to a designated beneficiary (the remainderman), who takes title when the owner dies.5 A life estate deed keeps the right to use and occupy the property with the owner for life and transfers the automatically without probate at the owner’s death.
Maryland Transfer-on-Death Deeds
In states that recognize them, a transfer-on-death (TOD) deed is a revocable deed that allows the property owner to designate one or more beneficiaries who will receive the property upon the owner’s death, without going through probate. The owner retains full control over the property during their lifetime and can change or revoke the beneficiaries at any time. Maryland does not recognize transfer-on-death deeds.
Common Uses of Maryland Special Warranty Deed Forms
Maryland special warranty deeds are commonly used for a variety of real estate transactions. Special warranty deeds are often used in association with title insurance for standard sales for fair market value. A special warranty deed is also common when the grantor cannot, or does not want to, provide a full warranty of title. In commercial sales, for example, a special warranty deed can be a good compromise between a quitclaim deed (which places all risk on the buyer) and a warranty deed (which places all risk on the seller).
Fiduciaries like executors and trustees prefer special warranty deeds because fiduciaries ordinarily have limited knowledge about the property’s history before the estate or trust took title. Special warranty deeds can also be useful for transactions in which real estate is re-titled without affecting actual possession and control of the property—such as a transfer to a living trust.
How to Create a Maryland Special Warranty Deed
As with any deed, a Maryland special warranty deed should be customized to reflect the specific terms and conditions of the transaction. Reliance on fill-in-the-blank forms can lead to invalid documents and future title issues.
A Maryland special warranty deed must meet all Maryland deed requirements. The deed must be formatted correctly and include all necessary information—such as the grantor’s and grantee’s names and addresses, the legal description of the property, and any exceptions or reservations to the transfer. Maryland deeds must also include a recitation of consideration, which is the amount paid by the grantee for the property.
A special warranty deed must have the language needed to create a special warranty that limits the grantor’s liability to his or her ownership period. Under Maryland law, a deed that says the grantor “will warranty specially the property hereby granted” and that the grantor “has done no act to encumber the land” is a special warranty deed.6
The grantor must sign the special warranty deed in the presence of a notary public. The notary public will verify the identity of the grantor, witness the signature, and affix a notarial seal to the deed. After the deed has been executed and notarized, it should be recorded with the clerk of the circuit court’s office in the county where the property is located. Recording the deed provides constructive notice of the transaction and helps protect the grantee’s interests in the property.

Lubrication* is recommended at least every 10,000 cycles whenever tool is exposed to dirt or other contaminants.
Adjustment of the crimping die nests should also be checked. Readjustment of the pressure adjustment axle is necessary when the pre-load of the tool decreases significantly
*Use a light mineral-free oilv
The Importance of a High-Quality Crimp
When a crimping tool is used on a terminal, two crimps take place at the same time. One is the electrical connection between the conductor and terminal. The other is the insulation crimp which provides strain relief against vibration and tension. It is important that the electrical connection is gas tight without any voids between the wire strands and the terminal. If there any voids present, then corrosion can occur causing resistance and excessive heat which damages the electrical connection. Using a good quality crimping tool will ensure that a full, gas tight crimp is produced preventing future deterioration of the electrical connection and insulation breakage

It’s the most-asked question for vegetarians: “How do you get enough protein?”
The fact is, it’s easy to get enough protein in your diet – human protein requirements are not as crazy-complicated as many folks believe.
That said, I’ve come to the recent realization that, for me, I need more. It helps me feel satisfied; it keeps me full for longer. And thus, I eat less overall. Which, for a gal who’s always fought her weight, is a pretty big deal.
I had a different recipe planned for today, but it was going to involve some work this weekend … and an evil little stomach bug had different plans for me. But you don’t want to know anything more about that.
I was actually going to save this Thai Green Curry Lentil Soup for March. Even though it’s not really all that green, with its green lentils and green curry, I thought it would still be perfect for the holiday that’s all about green – St. Patrick’s Day. But I’ve been eager to share it with you for awhile now, so this ended up being a great excuse.
We are up to our ears in firewood right now. A giant, half-dead hemlock towered over our new place, and I, ever the worrywart, wanted it down immediately after we moved in.
So the professionals climbed up and it came down. And we were left with wood. Lots and lots of wood.
We rented a log splitter and my guy, my brother, my nephew, and my sister spent the majority of yesterday taming the giant rounds – some were coffee-table-sized, I’m not kidding – into manageable hunks of firewood. Me, well, I primarily took up residence inside, working on chili recipes, including this one – Crock Pot Pumpkin Red Lentil Chili.
Gosh, I really love Pinterest. I really want to say I unapologetically love Pinterest but I guess I feel maybe a little ashamed that I’m so into it.
But hey … better to pin Pure Deliciousness rather than eat it, right? At least, calorie-wise??
Awhile back I pinned this gorgeous image of Red Lentil Coconut Soup from a wonderful blog called Scaling Back. I love the soup pot. I love the bowls. I love the lentils scattered about. Wonderful photo, and the soup? Yum.
Don’t go to the grocery store hungry, they say. They’re totally right … but I do it anyway. All the time. Yesterday, I found myself at Whole Foods with a cart full of goodies I didn’t come for. Delicious samples + growling stomach = yikes at the checkstand.
But sometimes the result of hungry sampling is a good thing. Last week I found myself trying some Israeli Couscous and Lentil Salad at my beloved Central Market. It was so good I just had to make some as SOON as I got home. So I circled the grocery store, rounded up the ingredients, headed home, and made this.
Shepherd’s Pie. At first glance, it seems like a humble, even somewhat ho-hum dish. Ground beef (or lamb, traditionally) mixed with a few veggies and topped with mashed potatoes. Comforting, sure. But amazing? Probably not. Except, actually, yes. It’s really, really delicious.
This version brings together ground beef with a little gravy, some onions, carrots, peas, and corn for the carnivores. Vegetarians get their own delectable version with diced crimini mushrooms and lentils in place of the ground beef. Both are topped with cheesy mashed potatoes then sprinkled with more cheese and breadcrumbs, then baked so the potatoes form a nice golden crust.

Puerto Ricans took to the streets protesting against the corrupt governor – and he resigned. It’s time for us to do the same thing against trump and his entire administration.
He’s a corrupt, racist, misogynistic criminal who cozies up to dictaors and whose hateful rhetoric has stoked white supremacy by demeaning Mexicans, Latinos, Muslims, people of color. He is doing what authoritarian governments have done for centuries – identify an enemy, call the press fake news, repeat lies over and over again until the gullible believe them. The shootings in El Paso are the result of his rhetoric and racism. And now he’s planning to go there? For what? To offer comfort? The kind of comfort he offered to the people of Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria when he tossed rolls of paper towels into the crowd?
And criminal trump has his enablers – notably attorney general William Barr and Mitch McConnell.
On the same day that Robert Mueller sat before congress testifying about his report – and stated that the Russians are still meddling in our elections – are doing it now, as Mueller put it, Mitch McConnell, trump’s enabler, refused to bring an election security bill to a vote in the senate. Moscow Mitch is what he’s being called now. He has also blocked legislation on gun control. As a result, his new nickname is Massacre Mitch. As of February 2018, McConnell had received $1.26 million in NRA donations. And that figure was from more than a year ago.
Day by day, trump and his enablers are destroying democracy by ignoring subpoenas, the law, and accountability. The DOJ policy that states a sitting president can’t be prosecuted puts him above the law. Like a king. An emperor. A dictator. The democrats need to start impeachment proceedings even if the senate refuses to convict. They need to do this because it’s the RIGHT thing to do. Trump must be held accountable. If he wins in 2020 – or the dems don’t win by a large enough margin and trump simply refuses to leave office and calls the results fake news – then we are at the door to fascism.

Scott Hammond, 31, has been calling and hunting wild turkeys since he was 8. He's bagged about 75 gobblers so far, and tagged out — shot the maximum 5 birds allotted per hunter per year — each of the past 11 years.
Impressive stuff, considering most Lowcountry hunters would be proud to score just one mature bird each year.
Turkey hunting season cranks up March 15 on private lands in the Lowcountry (April 1 on public land), and Hammond plans to be out there at first light. Having just wrapped up pre-season scouting and blind prep on his hunting properties, Hammond took a few minutes last week to share some tips.
When does he hunt?
Hammond wants to be in the woods, ready to go, 30 minutes before daylight, whether he's in a blind or standing on a road listening for gobbles.
“You don't want to be traveling through your property as day is breaking, because those birds are already awake and looking around. You're liable to bump them off the roost,” he said.
“If you bump them off the roost, you're in a bad position to start with. You completely changed everything.”
If Hammond doesn't bag a gobbler early, he'll often hunt all day.
“Leaving the woods by 9 a.m. is a major mistake. I've killed as many birds at 10 or 11 o'clock in the morning and 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon as I have any other time of day,” he said.
“The action's not quite as fast and furious and not quite as exciting, but . . . once it gets past 9 or 10 in the morning, most other hunters have left the woods, the hens are sitting on their nests, and that gobbler's lonely. He's much more apt to come to calling.”
What gear does he use?
Hammond wears full camo, of course, including face mask and gloves, and prefers the Mossy Oak Obsession pattern because it's got a lot of light green, so it's good for spring.
He wears no-frills, drab-green Lacrosse Grange rubber boots when hunting turkeys.
Hammond doesn't use pop-up turkey blinds, relying instead on natural blinds built in advance or on the fly with palmetto fronds and other vegetation. That's why “the most important tool in my turkey vest is a $6 pair of garden pruners,” he said.
He wears a turkey vest with a seat cushion attached and carries a compact pair of binoculars and a collection of “shock” calls and turkey calls.
Hammond hunts with glass and slate friction calls, a Lynch's box call, and a half-dozen varieties of mouth diaphragm calls.
He uses a box call on windy days or to reach out to a gobbler hundreds of yards away, and slate and mouth calls for soft, subtle purrs and yelps when he's working a nearby gobbler.
“About 80 percent of all my calling is done on a mouth diaphragm.”
Hammond has outfitted his Browning Gold Hunter 12-gauge with a neoprene sling, 4x-power Leupold scope and an extra-full turkey choke tube.
“The tighter the choke tube, the easier it is to miss at close range,” Hammond warned. “You get a turkey inside 15 yards with the tube I've got, and you're basically shooting a slug.”
He's switching to new loads this year, the HEVI-Shot Magnum Blend.
These new, higher-tech loads deliver a mix of 5, 6 and 7-shot pellets in tight, deadly groups downrange.
The downside? “They're $35 for a box of five shells.”
What are his tactics?
Turkeys prefer to roost in mature timber, especially over water. If Hammond doesn't already know where birds are roosting, he'll run-and-gun after it gets light to locate a gobbler.
Though many hunters use turkey calls to trigger gobbles in the early morning, Hammond relies mostly on “shock calls” to locate a bird.
“I rarely actually use a turkey call. I'm owl-hooting with my voice, or once the crows get cranked up I'm using a crow call.”
Hammond avoids using turkey calls as locators because gobblers will sometimes come running in before he even gets a chance to set up. It's far better, he said, to locate a bird without him becoming too interested in you at the start.
If Hammond's been shock-calling in an area and hasn't heard a response in 10-15 minutes, he'll move on.
Once he does entice a gobble off in the distance, Hammond moves quickly and quietly toward the bird, stopping to set up 100 to 175 yards away.
Then he starts calling.
“If I've got a bird still roosted in his tree and he's gobbling, the first series of calls I'm going to give him would be a fly-down cackle. Then I'm going to follow that up with a lot of clucks, then go into my yelping series.”
If the gobbler flies down and begins moving toward him, Hammond often shuts down his calling.
“Once a bird's inside 100 yards and he's answered me one, two, three times, I ain't saying another word for at least 15 minutes. He knows where I am. If he's committed and wants to come, he'll come.”
Overcalling can backfire on a hunter, Hammond warns.
“You've got to remember that the hen is designed to go to the gobbler, the gobbler's not designed to go to the hen. So shutting up is sometimes a good thing.
“If it was 30 minutes since you last called, that gobbler's wandering around wondering, 'Where did she go?' He's covering a little more territory and might end up coming right in front of your barrel.”
What if the turkey stops gobbling and disappears in the brush?
“I won't move a muscle for a bare minimum of 45 minutes,” Hammond said. Often, the turkey will creep in on a hunter, fan out and start strutting without ever making another sound.
If the gobbler appears within 40 or so yards, he shoots.
If, on the other hand, Hammond hasn't started working a bird by 9 or 10 in the morning, he'll switch to “set-up mode” and hunker down in a natural blind.
“I'm going to spend two hours there, making a series of calls every 10 or 15 minutes. After two hours, I'm going to move to another area.”
Above all, Hammond said, hunters must be willing to put in the time. After the early-morning rush of finding roosted birds, hunters should slow it down and work a promising area for two or three hours.
“Patience will kill you more birds than any other skill.”

Do I Need New Tires? When to Consider Tire Replacement
Tire replacement is well worth the investment. One reason to seek the best tire shops around me for a tire replacement is to save money on gas. Another reason to replace your tires is to prevent wear on other parts of your car.
You can buy new tires at a discount and get them mounted and balanced by your favorite local tire shop. This is often a better option than replacing them yourself. Before getting a tire replacement, it is vital to research various aspects of undertaking the process. The primary considerations in this process include the right size and the correct tread type.
It will also help determine the average cost to have tires mounted and balanced in your area. There are several ways to achieve this. One approach is launching an online search on the prices tire shops charge clients. Tire shops may offer various deals and discounts to buyers. Thanks to the internet, you can also get cheap tire places open on Sunday.
It will help to research adequately to know the deals you can take advantage of during your purchase. You can easily search online for such sales. For instance, you can type tire shops to buy two tires get two free near me. Shops with tire deals and discounts will help you save money during your tire replacement. It is advisable to consider getting new tires at the right time of year.
Knowing when to change your vehicle tires is important for you and your car’s safety. Typically, it is recommended to change the tires when the tread has worn to 6/32nds of an inch. Tire replacement may seem like a simple task to many people who tend to overlook it. After using new tires for five years, you need to take them for inspection at least once every year. This helps you to monitor the wear and tear and decide the right time for a replacement.
Proper Tire Care
First, taking care of your vehicle tires is essential to expand their lifespan. This helps you to avoid unnecessary cost for regular replacements. Proper care involves regular tire rotations, vehicle maintenance and maintaining the correct tire pressure. Ideally, it’s necessary for your auto mechanic to check the tires every time you visit an auto repair shop for any issue. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and recommendations to ensure the correct use and repair for your tires.
Wear and Tear
Over time, things tend to wear and car tires are no exception. However, the stretch for wear depends on many factors including your driving environment, driving habits, climate, improper usage and neglecting tire maintenance. These factors can either contribute to tire bursts or quick reduction of the tread depth. You will need to inspect the tires for damaged areas, inconsiderable tread, irregular tread wear and damaged valve caps. If you feel the tread is worn beyond the suggested tire tread levels, then tire replacement is necessary.
Always note the manufacture date of your tires whenever you buy them. You can check the tire sidewall to determine the correct date. This is essential in determining the maximum use. It is recommended to replace the tires ten years after their manufacture date. They may appear to be useable from the external appearance, but it necessary to get new ones for safety reasons. When it comes down to age, it doesn’t matter how well or safe you use the tires. This rule applies to your spare tires as well.
It is prudent to use the correct type of tires for each season. Using summer tires for warmer seasons and winter tires during the cold seasons helps to ensure safety and reduce unnecessary costs. Some people may opt for all-season tires, which may not offer optimal performance during all seasons. So, to enjoy the maximum grip levels, always replace your tires with season-specific tires whenever the weather changes.
There are varied auto repair services that offer tire maintenance and inspection services to gauge if the tires are safe for use. Many states legally require tires to be replaced when they reach 2/32 inch. You can check this at home using a penny. Simply place the penny between ribs with Lincoln?s head pointing down. If the head disappears between the tread ribs, then the tire is still good for use. Don’t wait until it’s too late to make a tire replacement.

Country songwriter Billy Joe Shaver, whose songs were recorded by Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Elvis Presley, died at 81 on Wednesday morning (Oct. 28) following an undisclosed illness, according to a spokesperson.
After news of his death broke, some of his famous friends shared their remembrances of him.
“Having been a longtime friend and fan of Billy Joe Shaver’s, there was so much about him to love and enjoy,” ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons said in a statement to Billboard. “He was a great singer, songwriter and performer and, above all, a great storyteller. He will be missed.”
“I lost one of my greatest songwriting friends, Billy Joe Shaver. It’s a sad day and I’m just so torn between raising hell and lowering heaven a little bit. I felt it all the way from Nashville to Waco when he passed. I just go from looking back on our wonderful memories together to tears, then back to memories again,” Tanya Tucker said in a statement. “The whole songwriting community has suffered a huge loss today, and most importantly, the fans of country music. Billy was one of a kind, he wasn’t like anyone else. When he loved, he loved hard and I loved him right back.”
Though he was never an A-list headliner on par with his most famous collaborators, Shaver had a sterling reputation for writing heartfelt, hard-luck songs about strivers looking for a break, or just a shoulder to cry on. The “good Christian” with an eighth-grade education who worked on his uncle’s farm instead of going to high school and lost part of his fingers while working at a sawmill got all his country learning while “picking cotton, raising hell and bailing hay,” as he wrote in the 1993 song “Georgia on a Fast Train.”
Shaver was born in Corsicana, Texas, on Aug. 28, 1939, and was raised mostly by his grandmother after his father left the family before he was born and his mother, Victory, took a job at a juke joint in Waco more than an hour away. He left home at 16 to serve in the Navy and took a series of gigs to make ends meet, including working at a rodeo and at the sawmill where the loss of his digits pushed him toward trying songwriting.
Shaver hitchhiked to Nashville in 1965 and got his first break in 1968 when he wandered into singer/songwriter Bobby Bare’s Nashville office and insisted on playing a song, soon after landing a $50-a-week gig that would make him a go-to for some of the city’s brightest lights. One of his first successes was Bare’s recording of his song “Ride Me Down Easy.”
He became a reliable storyteller, logging songs with Kris Kristofferson (“Good Christian Soldier”), Tom T. Hall (“Willie the Wandering Gypsy and Me”), the Allman Brothers (“Sweet Mama”) and Elvis (“You Asked Me To”). When Jennings invited Shaver to Nashville to work on what became his 1973 outlaw country landmark album Honky Tonk Heroes, Shaver burst into national prominence. He landed credits on 10 out of 11 tracks on the album that is often tagged as the first, and some say best, “outlaw” LP from a back-to-basics 1970s movement that included Willie Nelson, Kristofferson, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash and a number of others.
In 1973, he also released his Kristofferson-produced solo debut, Old Five and Dimers Like Me, which included his beloved songs “Willie the Wandering Gypsy and Me” and “Georgia on a Fast Train.” Cash covered his song “I’m Just an Old Chunk of Coal (But I’m Gonna Be a Diamond Some Day),” which he wrote after giving up drugs and alcohol. In all, Shaver released nearly 2 dozen albums on a variety of labels (MGM, Capricorn, Columbia, new West, Sugar Hill), earning a Grammy nomination for Best Southern/Country/Bluegrass Album for his 2007 effort Everybody’s Brother. His most recent release, 2014’s Long in the Tooth, was his first to chart on Billboard‘s Top Country Albums tally and it featured a duet with Nelson on “Hard to Be an Outlaw.”
Shaver received the first-ever Lifetime Achievement Award in Songwriting from the Americana Music Association in 2002 and was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2004 and the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame in 2006. His highest praise, however, came from the men who towered in the genre and whom he called friends. Cash once referred to Shaver as “my favorite songwriter,” and good pal Nelson said he was “definitely the best writer in Texas… Everything he writes is just poetry.”
His rough-and-tumble songs often emerged from a life that had its share of tragedies and heartache, from his son Eddy’s 2000 death from a heroin overdose to the nearly fatal heart attack he suffered onstage in 2001 and a notorious incident in 2007 when a bar fight ended with Shaver shooting another man in the face; he was acquitted of the charges and turned the scuffle into the song “Wacko From Waco.”
Shaver also acted in a number of films, including Secondhand Lions, The Wendell Baker Story and Bait Shop, and his song “Live Forever” was performed by his friend Robert Duvall in the Oscar-winning film Crazy Heart; Duvall cast Shaver in his 1996 movie The Apostle and produced the 2004 documentary A Portrait of Billy Joe.

The Source recently landed an exclusive with former Swisha House Records’ partner, OG Ron C. When many think of chopped and screwed, they think of the Houston hip hop scene. What many do not realize is that OG Ron C was the man behind this sound. Although the chopped and screwed sound has declined from the public eye, OG Ron C has continued to keep it relevant.
OG Ron C has made a name for himself by chopping and screwing popular songs and albums and releasing them. Drake’s Take Care was the most-recent project chopped and screwed by OG Ron C. Continuing to chop and screw his records, OG Ron C has also decided to go back into business with Michael “5000” Watts. Previously, the two were partners in legendary Houston hip hop record label, Swisha House Records.
Reuniting with Michael “5000” Watts, OG Ron C is launching Chopped Not Slopped Entertainment. The label comes on the heels of OG Ron C reviving the chopped and screwed movement. Aside from chopping and screwing Drake’s latest record, he also chopped Jay-Z and Kanye West’s Watch the Throne, renaming the album Chopped the Throne. The previous label from OG Ron C and Michael “5000” Watts boasted Mike Jones, Chamillionaire, Slim Thug, and Paul Wall, among other Houston legends.

For example, a invoice Introduced Thursday by Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) and Tammy Baldwin (Wes.) and Representative Jan Schakowsky (D-Illinois) bans “price gouging,” which he defines as “unreasonably excessive” pricing.
What would be considered an “unreasonably excessive” price, you ask? To be determined later, but it would certainly be illegal.
The problem with this novel is that it is just a pejorative filler. Yes, prices rise because companies raise prices. OK. This is the economic equivalent of saying “it’s raining because water is falling from the sky”. we will, Why?
Why companies, which have always been “greedy” (or, as one might say, “profit maximization”) are able to raise prices right Now? What has changed between early 2020, when corporate profits And economic inflation It was declining, and today, when both scales go up “unreasonably”?
The answer is important because it defines what policymakers can or should do about it.
Here’s how economists explain the recent rise in inflation: Demand is strong, thanks to the savings imposed by the pandemic as well as expansionary government policies (stimulus payments, lower interest rates, etc.). Meanwhile, supply remains restricted by the disruptions associated with the coronavirus and labor shortages Other unfortunate shocks. Firms cannot increase production fast enough to buy all the things that consumers want to buy, whether those “things” are oil, furniture, or eggs.
Consumers still want to buy all of these things, even though Americans in general have an unusually large amount of cash in hand. So they are willing to pay more. This raises prices.
Concrete example: In 2019, the auto dealer who raised prices by 10 percent may have lost customers and watched inventory sit. Today, this merchant can raise prices by 20 percent and still have trouble keeping anything in stock. That’s because cars are still hard to come by, and customers are willing and able to pay a premium for whatever is available.
The solution to a broader price increase, then, is to increase supply (eg, get more workers in the workforce, remove trade barriers, encourage oil exploration); and/or curb demand (eg, raise interest rates).
“Supply and demand” is not the lens of choice for inflation greedy. They say inflation is driven by the Manichaean conflict between the big companies and their innocent victims, the customers.
Corporations somehow conspire to increase inflation, this reasoning believes, because they can use it as “an excuse“for”exploited. “No matter that major business groups already exist extremist About economic inflationsince unexpected price growth can make it difficult for them to plan (and increase the possibility of a recession).
So what is the supposed evidence that companies are pro-inflationary? greedy – Including President Biden – Complains that CEOs brag about corporate earnings calls about how much money they make. This may sound like a smoke gun if you’ve never listened to an earnings call, as executives usually brag about how great a dividend they would be or how much they would be.
Proponents of greedy inflation argue that something fishy is afoot because companies are not “giving up” on their high costs; Their profit margins are also expanding. But that is exactly what you would expect when impulsive customers buy more things And willing to pay whatever is necessary to get what they want. the prices And High profits.
I’ve been reprimanded before, including by top White House aides, for making a fuss about Democratic demagoguery on the issue. So what if Biden and Democratic lawmakers wanted to stand up to corporate greed? Who cares whether Biden asks or not? Another unjustified investigation in whether”illegal“Behavior is raising gas prices? This kind of anti-corporate populist rhetoric Polls we willThey say. It does not hurt. It’s just cheap talk, so Democrats can show they’re doing something about inflation.
But such so-called cheap talk has become very expensive.
At best, this approach did nothing to curb inflation. Even worse Distracted Democrats than taking action can help, because this narrative of “greed swells” has persuaded both policymakers and the public to misdiagnose the causes of the problem.
Worst of all, it encourages Democrats to pursue policies that could be effectively harmful. These include a proposal Tax on ‘unexpected’ oil profitswhich is likely to be scale down Oil production exactly when we want to increase production. Or a jubilee of collective student debt that could happen push consumer demand So it’s higher.
It might be a good idea to throw red meat at the populist, anti-corporate left. Righteous anger over evil deeds earns a lot of retweets. But it also hampered Democrats’ efforts to control inflation – and in doing so sabotaged their re-election prospects.

While the consequences of the pandemic for global business rules still remain unclear, APAC governments are increasingly altering regulations and announcing new measures to support businesses, stressing an urgency for companies to stay on top of emergency legislation as it is announced. These insights are according to the Global Business Complexity Index (GBCI) from professional services firm TMF Group.
The GBCI 2020 ranks 77 jurisdictions across the world in order of ease of doing business, and APAC countries are notably split at both ends of the spectrum. Amongst the most complex jurisdictions in the world are Indonesia (1st in complexity), China (6th most complex), Malaysia (9th), Taiwan (16th), South Korea (17th) and India (18th), while countries like Singapore and Hong Kong count amongst the easiest, positioned at 18th and 12th simplest respectively.
“Understanding the rules of engagement with regulators is crucial, and businesses looking to operate in APAC need to constantly stay abreast of diverse and rapidly evolving legislation, integrating it fast into their policies,” said Paolo Tavolato, Head of Asia Pacific, TMF Group.
While APAC regulatory frameworks were already evolving at a quicker pace to become more robust for businesses, this has been accelerated by the outbreak of the pandemic. The GBCI 2020 reveals where APAC regulations are rapidly shifting that businesses need to prepare for, especially in the following areas.
Rules, Regulations and Penalties
The GBCI 2020 highlights how APAC’s paper and seal culture may pose challenges for businesses looking to operate efficiently during these times. 64% of jurisdictions still maintain traditional requirements that add to business complexity, such as the requirement of an official stamp to ensure legal probity. This exceeds the global average of 43%.
With remote working becoming a norm however, countries have been compelled to relook their regulations on stamps and seals. The GBCI 2020 has found that both Hong Kong and Malaysia are becoming more modernised by removing the requirement for official chops or seals. Additionally, Singapore is considering expanding the acceptability of e-signatures for trust, property and financial instruments.
Accounting and Tax
APAC jurisdictions are making a shift away from their well-known stringent auditing processes to provide relief to businesses affected by the pandemic. According to GBCI 2020, APAC has the largest global proportion of jurisdictions (29%) making audits compulsory for all companies and is only second to South America in the proportion of jurisdictions that offer no notice period for tax audits. However, new government schemes have allowed a variety of industries to delay compliance and reporting. For example, in Singapore, the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) granted a series of automatic extensions to tax filing deadlines as well as a three month deadline extension for Corporate Tax Payments.
The GBCI 2020 also reveals that APAC ranks as the region with the 2nd highest proportion (36% versus the global average of 24%) of jurisdictions implementing online submissions of tax invoices via an authority portal. As businesses undergo digital transformation with remote working and safe distancing measures in place, technology adoption for taxation processes in APAC will continue to accelerate. In Singapore, ACRA continues to encourage digital solutions and e-filing, such as the filing of annual returns via one common online form.
Additionally, given how COVID-19 has battered business prospects in the short-term, governments are also recognising the importance of creating an easier environment for foreign direct investment. GBCI 2020 data shows that the number of jurisdictions in APAC that require mandatory audits has decreased in the past year, especially in countries such as India and Malaysia.
Human Resources and Payroll
The coronavirus is bringing many challenges to businesses around the globe but providing support to employees is a high priority. APAC jurisdictions lead the way in many aspects of payroll and benefits, and this includes mandating workplace pensions, with 86% of jurisdictions legally requiring them for permanent workers. Australia and New Zealand are strong advocates of private pensions, while Southeast Asian jurisdictions, including Hong Kong and Singapore, have strong state-funded schemes. Additionally, the region is tied with EMEA in offering the most notice period (one month) when it comes to firing practices, although it lags behind in mandatory pay increase requirements.
APAC governments are also moving swiftly to introduce new measures to support the economy and their populations, as well as making it easier for employers to maintain their workforce. In Singapore, over 140,000 employers have started to receive pay-outs under the government’s Jobs Support Scheme. Totalling over S$7 billion, the pay-outs will help to cover the wages of over 1.9 million local employees.
Impetus Towards a Global Business Environment
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, we are likely to see a continued impetus towards a global business environment, with international bodies stepping up measures to coordinate and regulate trade across borders to benefit all stakeholders. An emphasis on technology and modernisation will act as the drivers to place the post-pandemic global economy back on its feet. APAC businesses need to be aware of and act in response to complexity in their markets.

We have become a fast food society and obesity is now a national epidemic. Never before in the history of this country has this issue been more prevalent, especially among our children. In fact, they are so undernourished, the Food and Drug Administration just released a statement suggesting that all children should be on nutritional supplements. This is mostly attributed to the poor quality of our available foods and the frequent eating of fast foods. This has become a serious issue attributing to another epidemic among our children: Childhood Diabetes.
Never before has there been more children diagnosed with Childhood Diabetes as there is at present.
NutraMetrix is a nutraceutical company that offers advanced nutritional supplements in an Isotonic form. These products are all-natural with no preservatives, binders, and fillers allowing optimum absorption.
Most Nutrametrix products come in a powder form. When properly measured and mixed with water, these supplements enter your stomach at the same fluid pressure in your stomach. The stomach already recognizes it as digested and passes it directly into the small intestine for immediate absorption. In fact, 95%of the product is delivered to the absorption sites within 10 minutes.
Pills can take up to 3 or more hours to digest and are usually passed mostly undigested with only 35% absorption! In addition, stomach acid breaks down and degrades the product rendering most of it useless. You are not getting what you think you are taking!
There is a huge movement among Healthcare Professionals to get their patient's off of pharmaceutical medications and move them towards a more natural way of treatment.
In the 30 years, I have been in practice, I have never seen more health issues as related to nutrition and pharmaceutical medication usage as I am seeing now. We have always adopted the philosophy that our patient's overall health is our number one concern. It is a fact that Oral Health effects the body and vice versa. In an effort to help our patients with their medical ailments, we were fortunate enough to be introduced to NutraMetrix. Everything from Children's Supplements, Anti-Cancer, and Anti-Aging to Antioxidants, Heart Health, and Weight Loss. You name it, they have it.
What makes NutraMetrix so special? The delivery system is superior to any nutritional supplement on the market today. At 95% absorption, hardly any product is wasted, so you get more value for your dollar. Are there cheaper products on the market today? Yes. Are they as nearly effective? No. Nutrametrix's commitment to the quality and effectiveness of their products is the reason I chose to offer their products to my patients. In fact, my staff and I use them also.
Visit my website at www.nutrametrix.com/drbobrosswog for a complete list of products available. Not sure what supplements you should be taking? Log onto my site and take the NutraPhysical. This questionnaire was designed by a panel of Physicians. Recommendations for nutritional supplementation are based on your answers with regard to your present lifestyle, diet, and current physical condition.

Belvidere Town Council this week authorized emergency repairs to the town pool after at least one swimmer felt electrical currents while sitting on the pool deck.
The pool has been shut down since a patron on Aug. 6 reported twice experiencing a tingling feeling while sitting on the pool deck with his or her feet in the water, officials said Tuesday.
Meters measured 1.2 volts in the pool's shallow end, 0.5 volts in the deep end, 3.5 volts in the front of the bathhouse, 2.4 volts at the rear of the bathhouse and 3.4 volts at the pavilion.
Council authorized spending up to $75,000 to fix the electrical issues.
Electrical engineers concluded the pool deck is improperly bonded and voltage is likely leaking from the nearby JCP&L substation. The baby pool is unaffected.
Reached Wednesday, JCP&L spokesman Ron Morano said the substation is unlikely to blame for the problem.
"We are aware of the issue and are working toward a solution with the (town) to resolve the issue," Morano said. "Several inspections and tests give no indication that the substation is the cause of the problem, however JCP&L continues to work with the (town) to resolve the issue and maintain a dialogue to find a solution."
The pool liner is compromising the bonding system, according to town pool commission Chairwoman Kim Beaney. She has proposed improving the pool to make it safe regardless of the role of the JCP&L substation.
Electrical contractor Jack Shade inspected the pool and re-bonding work prior to opening the pool this season. He doubts re-bonding the pool deck will fix the problem.
"I don't think you're going to get rid of" the voltage, he said. "The electrical company needs to do something. I would really like to see everybody here get their money, but someone better guarantee it."
Council rejected a plan to seek non-emergency repairs because repairs couldn't be completed until spring. With an emergency appropriation, work could start in as little as three weeks. The money to pay for the repairs will come out of the pool commission's budget.
Residents urged council to do what it takes to fix the problem.
"We don't want this pool to go the way other towns have. We want it to be vibrant," said resident Nancy Brown.
Another resident said Tuesday it's important for the pool to open next summer.
"I have been following the issue of pools in the press for years and many close due to maintenance. It would truly be an emergency," resident Harry Brown said. "We have two rivers in this town that are attractive nuisances. If the pool closes swim lessons stop and drownings go up."
Council opted to go with the emergency appropriation in order to have the pool ready in time for the summer season.


Here in Canada we all benefit from modern indoor plumbing. However, for astronauts, the challenge of disposing of human waste is not yet so elegant.
The flushing toilets that we are used to here on Earth would obviously create more disaster than relief in a weightless environment like the International Station. Air flow assisted toilets are used instead.
Both liquid and solid waste is collected using vacuum-like suction devices. A long tube with a custom fitting is used to handle liquid wastes, while a seat equipped with a suction device and individual plastic bags is in place to collect and store solids. As astronauts need to access both of these devices without the help of gravity, there are restraining devices like belts and footholds available for assistance.
As there are currently no space plumbers on call to handle toilet malfunctions on the International Space Station, crew members have had to either wait for replacements to come via shuttle or attempt repairs themselves in the past.

Obama Overthrow Plot Widens As US Martial Law Fears Grow | EUTimes.net
A new report issued by the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation MTC circulating in the Kremlin today states that General Staff officers were warned this past week by their American counterparts at the North American Aerospace Defense Command NORAD that the threat to overthrow President Obama by “certain elements” within the US Military is “nearer than first thought” and could very well cause a state of martial law to be declared in the United States.Russian officers reporting to the Kremlin on this shocking turn of events
were training with US and Canadian military personal at NORAD during their annual Vigilant Eagle terror exercise and noted that this is the second warning they’ve received this summer about the plan to overthrow Obama, and as we previously reported in our 20 July report US Military Reveals Coup Plan To Topple Obama.
To the underlying reason these dissident elements within the US military are planning to overthrow Obama we had, likewise, noted in our 22 July report Obama Plan To Shatter “Permanent War Economy” Panics Global Elites.
The details relating to the United States building of Permanent War Economy in the aftermath of World War II were, perhaps, best articulated by the noted American professor emeritus at Columbia University Seymour Melman 1917-2004 who in his historic 1976 book titled The Permanent War Economy: American Capitalism in Decline predicted the global economic collapse currently underway and warned of the horrific, indeed apocalyptic, world war soon to follow.According to professor Melman, who wrote these words of warning 36 years ago, the United States Permanent War Economy would so economically devastate the US, that by the year 2015, over 3.5 million manufacturing jobs would be moved offshore threatening the very survival of his country as its capital markets could not support the sheer weight of a military budget seeking to control the entire world, while at the same time supporting a vibrant civilian consumer economy.
Unfortunately for the United States, professor Melman’s estimates of the manufacturing jobs that would be lost by 2015 have far exceeded his predictions with new estimates showing that over 5.7 million of them have been lost in the last twelve years alone, a staggering figure that dwarfs even those losses suffered by America during the Great Depression.Meanwhile, and as the American economy continues racing towards financial oblivion, its military forces now occupy nearly the entire planet with new………………….

The exciting ups and downs of popular casino-style games like Pattern Prediction MOD APK can become a rollercoaster of random wins and losses. But Pattern Predictor APK helps even out your chances by powering up your bets with algorithm tips on the best times to play for bigger payouts. This smart mobile app uses data science and math models to boost your lucky flips. By studying extensive data on previous game details and outcomes, the Pattern Predictor uncovers hidden winning patterns that human eyes would miss. In this article we’ll summarize how predictive guidance takes the randomness out of gaming, the app’s top features, how to download and install on Android, common questions, and why a little AI help could help you win bigger. Tech changes the game odds.
What is Pattern prediction?
Pattern Predictor APK is a mobile app that gives better predictions for the popular online casino game Pattern to boost how players win. It uses advanced math programs trained on tons of past Pattern game data. This data includes details like average crash points, patterns in ups and downs, timing of highs and lows – that humans would probably miss seeing.
By studying the data, the programs can find tendencies and guesses for when placing bets may give better returns in future games. The app then connects directly to players’ Pattern accounts across casino sites. It sends notifications during play at the best times for betting based on the predictions. For example, it may say place bigger bets when the data shows higher crash points could happen in upcoming rounds.
Rather than controlling everything automatically, the app’s guidance complements human play by highlighting likely good opportunities. Users still choose if and how to use the strategic tips to improve win rates. So Pattern Predictor APK uses data predictions to provide help that gives players an edge if they incorporate it properly during play.

I try to be prepared. After all, one never knows when one might need an imaginary planet — or star.

This still doesn't fix the keyboard and mouse problems here on all IBM X-Series
345. If no keyboard is connected during boot, it works afterwords if I replug
it. If one is connected during boot, it fails.
atkbdc0: <Keyboard controller (i8042)> port 0x60,0x64 irq 1 on acpi0
atkbd0: <AT Keyboard> flags 0x1 irq 1 on atkbdc0
atkbd: unable to set the command byte.
device_probe_and_attach: atkbd0 attach returned 6
psm0: unable to set the command byte.
hint.atkbd.0.flags="0x2" helps that the keyboard works, but I still wonder
why this is the case.
Of course it works just fine without any changes when ACPI is disabled. But then
the second CPU isn't found. Too bad.

THE Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed has emphasised that the Federal Government would carry on with its plan to regulate social media in Nigeria over hate speech and fake news.
He disclosed the government’s plan during a courtesy visit by the Nigerian Union of Journalist (NUJ) National Executive led by Chris Isiguzo along with other executive members in Abuja on Monday.
Mohammed said the NUJ had failed to contact the ministry to lodge any complaints concerning the regulation before they approached the media to condemn the regulations.
“If the NUJ or the Guild of Editors, or indeed any professional body has any fears, we expect them to reach out and engage us, rather than rushing to the media to condemn a plan to inject sanity into the social media space and protect the integrity of the media,” Mohammed said.
According to him, the NUJ had put the cart before the horse by publicly rejecting the planned social media regulation without even trying to understand what it entails.
Mohammed said, “As a professional body for journalists, the NUJ has its code of ethics for journalists, and this guides their operation”.
He noted that to the best of his knowledge, the trained, professional journalists cannot afford to engage in fake news because it will kill the public trust in the media.
Mohammed said that the media could not afford to engage in hate speech, because of the implication for national peace and unity, adding there has to be a country before the media can practise the profession.
He said the plan is to inject sanity into the social media space and it has nothing to do with gaggling journalists or stifling free speech.
“When we announced the plan to regulate social media, we said clearly that the regulation is not an attempt to gag the media or muzzle free speech. We said journalists have nothing to fear,” he noted.
Speaking on the activities that have been put in place on the regulation, Mohammed said letters have been dispatched to the stakeholders concerning the regulations.
“We will not unilaterally impose measures aimed at injecting sanity into the social media space. We will work with stakeholders, including the NUJ, Guild of Editors, Newspaper Proprietors Association of Nigeria, the Civil Society, Online Publishers, Bloggers, etc,” he added.
He said a government that has the intention of gagging the media won’t engage stakeholders in dialogue on the way forward.
He said the NUJ and other media professional bodies should take the lead in sanitising the social media space, because they would be the first victim when the people lose confidence in the media

BOXETT has recently launched its latest collection /element which is a wall system designed by Roland Landsberg and it is decorative, multi-functional and brilliant in its essence.
Although this piece may look like a modern wall decoration at first it seamlessly features complex integrated technological solutions and stunning decorative objects. BOXETTI/element brings sophistication, ambiance and uniquely striking atmosphere in any room it resides.
Similarly to the _Concept collection which was released back in 2008, BOXETTI makes it easy to question what are the limitations of our perception of what furniture is and how will it evolve for the future generations.
Functionality, advanced technologies and contemporary aesthetics combined with skillful handcrafting is at the core of this collection.
By being able to rearrange each individual element in various combinations, colors, and patterns BOXETTI has been able to provide the user with an interactive and fun experience.

Despite their heroic performances which landed Jamaica twelve medals, including seven gold, at the just concluded IAAF World Athletics Championships in Beijing, China, many of the nation’s athletes are returning home to stacks of unpaid bills and are uncertain of their day to day survival for the next two year cycle.
Among the athletes who were willing to put pride aside and bare their souls to the RJR Communications Group were Jason Morgan, Dane Hyatt, Leford Green and O’Dayne Richards.
According to the athletes, they are only seeking enough support to ensure they can train and take care of their bodies with whatever help the Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association (JAAA), government or corporate Jamaica can offer.
Male team captain Asafa Powell helped to breach the subject with the RJR Sports: “The Jamaican public pretend as if there are only ten persons here at the World Championships, what happens to the other forty who have to go back home after the championship and won’t get the chance to go to any track meet? If these athletes can get help for even five months out of the year, that would help.”
Powell added that they have started to ignore some of the promises from government over the years.
National Discus record holder Morgan, World Indoor mile relay bronze medallist Hyatt and newly minted Shot Put bronze medallist Richards also weighed in on the issue.
“Just thinking about all I’ve been through, makes me want to stop. Two days before I compete at the championship here, my supervisor text me to ask when I am coming back to work,” bemoaned Morgan, who broke down in tears.
According to the America-based Hyatt: “it’s not that we are trying to bash JAAA, but it’s more of an outcry and a constant struggle.”
Jamaica’s first World Senior Championship medalist in a throwing event, shot putter Odayne Richards says the assistance does not only need to be financial. “People in medicine, nutrition and psychology could give support to help develop the athletes and also sponsorship for the coaches,” Richards said.
We are making brand Jamaica look good and I feel as if we should be reaping some of the benefits and rewards of this,” lamented Green.

Theresa May will face a no confidence vote after MPs rejected her Brexit agreement by a landslide 230 majority on Tuesday night (15 January).
MPs voted down the draft Withdrawal Agreement by 432 to 202, with the vote marking the biggest rebellion against a government since the 1920s.
Although the deal was expected to be defeated, the size of the majority came as a shock. 118 Conservative MPs voted against the government, with only 196 Conservative deputies backing May’s deal.
In her final speech imploring MPs to support her, Mrs May said that they faced “a decision that will define our country for decades to come”.
She added that a vote against her deal was “nothing more than a vote for uncertainty, division and the very real risk of no deal or no Brexit at all,” commenting that abandoning Brexit “would endanger trust for a generation”.
Speaking immediately after the vote, May insisted that there was no clarity on what Brexit deal could gather support.
She indicated that in the coming days the government would seek to agree on a cross-party compromise deal on Brexit, telling MPs that “we must focus on ideas that are genuinely negotiable and have the support of this House”.
That could increase the chances of a ‘soft Brexit.’
But Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn promptly tabled a no confidence motion that will be debated and voted on Wednesday morning. If May is defeated that would lead to a snap election.
However, Mrs May is still expected to survive the confidence vote. Conservative MPs are anxious to avoid a general election, and despite voting against her agreement, the Democratic Unionist Party, which currently has a confidence and supply agreement with the government, have indicated that their ten MPs will vote to support her.
In a statement, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker expressed “regret” at the vote, but insisted that the Withdrawal Agreement was “a fair compromise and the best possible deal”.
“It is the only way to ensure an orderly withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union,” Juncker added, before calling on the UK to “clarify its intentions as soon as possible”.
“Time is almost up,” concluded Juncker.
If a deal is impossible, and no one wants no deal, then who will finally have the courage to say what the only positive solution is?
