A red flag warning will go into effect Tuesday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. for all of southern Colorado, as dry conditions and gusty winds throughout the region combine and create prime fire weather, according to the National Weather Service.
The warning includes El Paso, Fremont, Pueblo, Crowley, Otero, Bent, Kiowa and Prowers counties, all of the San Luis Valley, the Sangre de Cristo and Wet mountains, the Interstate 25 corridor and all of the southeast plains.
"A red flag warning means that critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now, or will shortly," the weather service stated. "A combination of strong winds, low relative humidity and warm temperatures can contribute to extreme fire behavior."
The warning comes after a blaze severely damaged a home in Black Forest Monday and set residents' nerves on edge. The area is still recovering from the most destructive wildfire in Colorado's history that killed two people and ravaged 488 homes last June.
According to Black Forest fire officials, the structure fire that broke out about 3 p.m. Monday near Milam and Burgess roads was likely caused by improperly disposed ashes.
Residents of the home told firefighters they placed hot ashes in a can near some bushes next to the house, which likely ignited with the heat from the can.
Humidity levels are expected to dip as low as 8 percent and winds could gust up to 45 mph in some areas Tuesday, possibly causing any fire to grow out of control quickly, according to the weather service.
Mostly sunny and breezy conditions are in the forecast for Colorado Springs, with a high near 57 and southwest winds gusting as high as 35 mph, the weather service said. Evening temperatures could fall to 30 degrees and winds will persist through the night, with gusts up to 30 mph.

© 2003 IEEE. From a system point of view, the capacity and diversity are the two main characteristics afforded by the multiple-inpui-muhipk-output (MIMO) systems. The increasing of capacity of multiple-input-multiple-output space-time system seriously relies on the richness of multipath rays which provide uncorrected or low-correlated parallel subchannels. The investigation of performance of indoor MIMO systems using one correlated model presented in this paper shows that the arrangements of antenna array elements as well as the indoor scattering environment influence the spatial cross correlation which inturn influences the system performance. The results of investigation provide insights on the design of indoor space-time systems.

Financial Intelligence Team
Own funds are comprised of “basic own funds” and “ancillary own funds.” Ancillary own funds are only accepted as own funds under certain limited circumstances. Examples of ancillary own funds are unpaid common shares or letters of credit and guarantees.
According to the CEIOPS, the assessment of the amount of an ancillary own fund item requires supervisory judgment and cannot be created on a mechanical basis. The insurer determines the amount of ancillary own funds for which it seeks supervisory approval and is responsible for the method. The supervisory authority grants (or refuses) approval of the amount or method for a period of 12 months. However, the supervisor has the power to revise the amount when informed that the counterparty’s ability to pay has changed.
For the approval process, the supervisor should consider criteria related to:
- The status of the counterparty, in relation to its ability (default risk, liquidity risk) and willingness to pay (nature of the counterparty and its involvement with the insurer).
- The recoverability of the funds, taking into account the legal form of the item, as well as any conditions which would prevent the item from being successfully paid in or called up.
- Any information on the outcome of past calls which the insurer has made for such ancillary own funds, to the extent that information can be reliably used to assess the expected outcome of future calls.
To enhance the application of the principles-based approach, an insurer should be required to publicly disclose, as part of Solvency II Pillar III, detailed information on ancillary own funds.

Is it necessary to soak dried beans before cooking?
You don’t have to soak your dried beans overnight. Soaking beans in the refrigerator overnight will reduce the time they have to cook drastically. And the texture of the beans will also be it their best, with fewer split-open and burst ones. But like we said, you don’t have to commit this hard.
What is the best way to cook dried beans?
Stovetop Instructions Place beans in a large pot; cover with fresh water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer gently until beans are tender but firm. Most beans will cook in 45 minutes to 2 hours depending on the variety. When to add flavorings:
How long do you have to soak dried beans before cooking?
Simply rinse your desired amount of beans, then soak them in water for 6-8 hours, using a ratio of 3 cups of water for every cup of beans. (This soaking time applies to heartier beans like white beans, chickpeas, kidney beans, etc.. Some, more delicate legumes such as lentils can be soaked for merely an hour.
What to put in beans to prevent gas?
Method 1: Baking soda. To cut down on the gassy properties, you can add a little baking soda to your recipe. The baking soda helps break down some of the beans ‘ natural gas – making sugars. I tested this while fixing one of my favorite slow cooker recipes: red beans and sausage.
What does a bad pinto bean look like?
Look for clear warnings signs to tell whether your beans are stale or too old. Pinto beans are normally a pale-tan color. If they have dark blotches or mottled skin, or if there is any visible trace of mold on them, they should be discarded. Smell the beans, searching for any off odors.
Why do you discard bean soaking water?
Soaking also makes the beans more digestible. It cleans them more thoroughly (since beans cannot be washed before being sold or they can turn moldy). And this is why the bean water is discarded. So it is best to drain the water and rinse the beans thoroughly before cooking.
Does adding vinegar to beans reduce gas?
Does adding vinegar to beans reduce gas? is a frequent question people ask and yet, there is little to no answer for it. Beans is a delicious meal, and very healthy to eat.
Is 24 hours too long to soak beans?
Hot water may cause the beans to sour. Cold water slows rehydration and the beans will take longer to cook. Cooking time will also be longer if beans are not soaked long enough – at least 8 hours. Beans soaked longer than 12 hours can absorb too much water and lose their characteristic texture and flavor.
Do you soak beans covered or uncovered?
Short Soak – Bring beans to a boil, boil for 2-3 minutes, remove from heat, and let stand covered for 1-4 hours. Rinse beans. Long Soak – Cover beans with cold water and soak overnight in an uncovered pot.
How do you cook dried beans without them falling apart?
Just put those beans in a pot, cover them with water, bring them up to a boil, and then cover the pot and turn off the heat. Let them sit for at least a half an hour in the hot water, drain them, and go from there.
Does putting a potato in beans reduce gas?
She put in a whole potato in the pot as well while boiling them supposedly for the purpose of “absorbing” the gas from the beans. The result is that the beans are supposed to make you less gassy but if you eat the potato you’ll get super gassy. That’s a waste of a good potato!
How much baking soda do you add to beans to prevent gas?
About 1/16 teaspoon per quart is all you need to do the trick, writes food expert Michael Greger, MD, on Nutrition Facts. Even if you don’t struggle with gas after eating beans, the addition of baking soda may help enhance your cooking experience in another way.
Which Beans cause the most gas?
A 2011 study found that people who ate baked beans and pinto beans were more likely to notice increased gassiness than people who ate black-eyed peas.

Georgia Democratic Senate candidate Raphael Warnock denounced the UK’s vote to leave the European Union as “ethnocentrism and hate” in a newly resurfaced 2018 sermon.
“Hate has gone viral,” the pastor of Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church said of the 2016 vote to leave the political and trade bloc.
“Nativism and ethnocentrism and bigotry [are] in high places on both sides of the Atlantic. Before there was Trumpism over here, there was Brexit over there,” Warnock said.
“Different contexts, same problem. Nativism and ethnocentrism and hate. Us against them.”
British voters’ surprise June 2016 rejection of the EU was widely seen as a populist backlash against the UK’s political establishment.
Less-prosperous rural and post-industrial areas of England were most supportive of Brexit. Advocates of leaving the EU said the UK should have its own trade policies and should not be subsidizing less-developed areas of Europe.
The more prosperous and metropolitan London strongly opposed leaving the EU.
Warnock’s controversial clerical pronouncements have earned negative press coverage ahead of his Jan. 5 runoff election against appointed Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler.
The outcome of Warnock’s campaign and another Georgia runoff race, between Republican Sen. David Perdue and Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff, will determine partisan control of the Senate next year.
Republicans will hold at least 50 Senate seats. If Warnock and Ossoff both win, the Senate will be divided 50-50 and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will break ties. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) would gain the power to control the legislative agenda.
Warnock’s 2012 arrest for interfering with a Maryland police investigation of child abuse at a summer camp that his former church owned recently emerged as a campaign issue.
The political content of Warnock’s other sermons — including that the US must “repent for its worship of whiteness” — also has been a focus of criticism.

Korg Volca Kick Analogue Kick Generator
Seen it cheaper? We match authorised UK dealers
The Korg Volca Kick is a kick drum generator that is perfect for both sound design and live performance purposes and features a wealth of professional controls and tools that help you create compelling, room-shaking kick drums and kick basses.
- See full product description
0% Finance: Spend £133.00 more to qualify.
The Korg Volca Kick is an analogue kick drum generator that is designed primarily for sound design purposes but can also be used for live performances and makes use of an analogue circuit which is based on the extraordinary, resonant sound of the popular MS-20 filter. This allows you to create a broad range of kick drum sounds possible only through analogue circuitry; from solid kick drums to crispy kick basses you can have them all. This kick drum generator is perfect for music producers and live performers looking for solid kick drums every time you use it.
|Korg Volca Kick Drum Generator|
Thanks to the fully analogue circuitry the Volca Kick creates powerful, present kick drum sounds and doesn’t use a typical sine wave to generate the drum sounds, it uses the sound of an oscillating filter from the MS-20. The Rev.1 filter on the MS-20 works by self-oscillating when the resonance is set to maximum, this works to produce the powerful kick sounds that you need with complex overtones.
There is a wealth of highly-effective yet straightforward parameters for you to utilise and shape your kick to your desired taste, merely start the sound design process by using the MS-20 controls for pitch, bend, and time to design the body of the kick drum, the use the pulse colour/level controls to alter the clip components while using the amp attack/decay knobs to adjust the level and envelope of your kick drums.
There is also an analogue drive control that features multiple stages of distortion, level, and type of distortion can be controlled via a single control to increase the variety and power behind your kick sounds. By adjusting the tone control, you can alter the high-frequency range which completely transforms your kicks. Using the 16-key touch panel, you can perform dynamic kick basses which generate a powerful sub-bass sound which is perfect for urban music styles such as hip-hop and grime. Because the Volca Kick covers a broad pitch range you can also create a variety of other drum sounds like tom drums and sound effects.
An integrated 16-step sequencer offers improvisatory freedom and allows you to rapidly layout a kick drum pattern with real-time recording capabilities, perfect for on-the-fly kick bass phrases. A pattern chain function lets you connect multiple sequence patterns together for successive playback making it possible to create large-scale developments of 32, 64, 128, or even 256 steps by joining up to 16 sequences.
Of course, this machine comes with the popular motion sequence function that works to record your knob movements allowing you to automate your loops and generate highly-original live performances. These loops and track ideas can then be saved to the internal memory that has enough space to save up to 16 sequence patterns.
The active step function allows you to skip a step during the sequence during playback and lets you make effects similar to short loops or completely irregular rhythms so you can perform dynamic movements using the sequencer itself as a performance tool. A brand new touch FX function lets you trigger a sequence effect by merely touching a step key which transforms your performance while a roll function works by repeatedly playing a sound and an octave function lets you raise the pitch by one or two octaves. A sustain function allows you to immediately maximise the amp decay, perfect for creating punchy breaks.
The accent function gives you the ability to program attenuations per step for glitchy and groovy sequences depending on how the accent knob has been set. A slide function works as a portamento and produces a smooth, distinctive kick bass that slides between different notes while a bend reverse function allows you to play a pitch bend in reverse which completely reverses the original kick pitch, so the pitch ranges from low to high resulting in a completely unique sound.

From Yemi Oyeyemi, Abuja
The seven witnesses called at the instance of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar Thursday testified against the return of President Buhari by the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC as winner of the February 23 presidential election.
The grouse of the witnesses were that the election was poorly conducted in the North with massive cancellation and mutilation of election results in favour of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The witnesses testified that in Kaduna and Borno States, wrong scores were fraudulently credited by INEC officials to Buhari and APC prompting some of them to refuse to sign the result sheets at the polling units, wards, Local Government and State levels.
The witnesses told the tribunal that inspite of restriction order on the election day, people were transported from one place to another unchallenged to vote for the APC.
They stated that their protest and complains lodged with security agents were ignored, making them to realise that the security agents have been compromised.
The witnesses are Major Yahaya Sikko, Jafari Abas Ibrahim, Dr AbdulRaman Usman, Nicholas Msheila, John Makama, Khalid Yelwa Kugo and Adam Ali Sanni.
Sikko in his evidence-in-chief on the alleged election malpractices in Kaduna State told the tribunal that wrong figures were accredited to Buhari and APC making him to refuse to sign the result sheet as required by law.
The witness told the tribunal led by Justice Mohammed Garba that in his presence, results were doctored by APC agents with full backing of security personnel.
Answering a question from Buhari’s counsel, Wole Olanipekun SAN, the witness said that he protested against the wrong-doings at the collation centre but was ignored. He admitted that accreditation was done by smart card reader.
In his own evidence, Jafaru Abas Ibrahim, a senior lawyer informed the tribunal that strange people were transported to certain areas were they cast votes for APC inspite of the presence of security personnel.
The witness said that results were not correctly transmitted to form EC8C.
Answering a question from Buhari’s counsel, Ibrahim admitted that he signed the result sheets but that his signature cannot authenticate the election malpractices.
He further said that he made complaints to INEC Returning Officer but nothing was done to correct the anomaly especially the reduction of votes of the petitioners.
Dr AbdulRaman Usman, in his own testimony, alleged that form EC8A were not made available to agents of the petitioners as required by law and thereby making him not to sign form EC8C being the result for Kaduna North Local Government because of his objection to the wrongful entries made for the APC.
Nicholas Msheila, the Borno State collation Officer for the petitioners informed the tribunal that he rejected most results in the 27 Local Government Areas in the state because they were fraudulent.
Also testifying, Adams Ali Sanni also admitted that he did not sign results sheets as agents of the petitioners because results were altered in his presence while votes cast for Atiku and PDP were reduced also in his presence.
He alleged that apart from unlawful cancellation of results, PDP agents were chased away by thugs of the APC to allow free falsification of results in favour of Buhari.
Another witness from Bauchi State, Yau Yusuf, in attesting to claims of rigging, harassment and intimidation of voters, said election results sheets were torn by a particular agent of the APC in the presence of INEC officials at INEC headquarters and yet nothing was done.
He claimed that the results announced by INEC were a reproduced copy, adding that the police took the torn copy with a promise to prosecute the perpetrator.
At the end of cross-examination of the 28 witness called by the petitioners presiding justice of the five member panel, Justice Mohammed Garba, adjourned hearing to Friday for further hearing.

With this forum shutting down changes will not be made to this information hub any further, you can find more information on my official Adventurecraft Awakening YouTube channel. And thank you to all who have stayed throughout this project's lifespan and all who will stay for the future things are still planned for the future! Find out how to be updated in What is happening to this project.
Hello! welcome to the Adventurecraft Awakening Project main forum. This post will explain everything about Adventurecraft Awakening and what I am doing with it, Everything is categorized down below! Also most Ill be referring to Adventurecraft as AC through the rest of the post!
Nothing will happen to this AdventureCraft Awakening project, only thing happening is this hub for information shutting down. So i will be migrating all information located here over to a playlist on my AC channel. Here is a video explaining the current situation. You can find more videos about this forum and updates in a playlist.
What is Adventurecraft?
AC is (basically) now an old relic of Minecraft modding. Its a fully modded version of Minecraft with its own custom launcher. This launcher allows you to make, build. and play adventure maps. As well as to mod the game with things called "scripts" these scripts allow you to do things like add in new weapons, properties to items, add new mods, and many many new things.
But now AC has recently started development from a fan (find more at the download section).
What is Adventurecraft Awakening?
AC Awakening is a project that i have been working on solo for a long time now. It is meant to remake old AC maps that have never been finished. Many of these maps like the Zelda Adventure map that was by far the most popular map out of any. And i quick Q&A
Q: Why are you doing this
A: Mainly because of Nostalgia
Q: You said you are doing this solo, are you taking help
A: Yes i am but just please ask first and i cant accept everyone.
There is now a new version and a old version. Ill call the old version the legacy version. And I would personally recommend using the new version it is just way more stable then the legacy version.

Oppo is currently getting a lot of attention after releasing a notch-less bezel-less phone, but that’s not the only phone the company has released recently. They are quite popular for their budget phones as well and the latest one from this company is the Oppo Realme 1. Realme is about to start working as an independent company and split with Oppo so it will be interesting to see what the phone is packing inside and the Oppo Realme 1 Dubai price.
Starting from the packaging to its nice design, the Oppo Realme 1 looks nothing like a budget phone. However, the budget part of this phone is clearly visible once you take the phone in your hand. It’s plastic all around the display which is not really surprising as this is actually a budget phone. The elegant design on the back and multiple color options makes it a good-looking budget phone. It’s quite a big phone with a big display: 6.0-inch screen showing 2160 x 1080 pixels resolution, 18:9 aspect ratio and 402ppi of pixel density. It’s not really a near bezel-less display but the screen-to-body ratio is impressive nonetheless: 78.9%. It might remind you of the Samsung Galaxy S9 or S9 Plus. Like most of the other Oppo phones this one comes with a customized Android 8.1 Oreo with ColorOS 5.0. As the Oppo Realme 1 release date UAE is already here, you can look for this phone in three different colors: Moonlight Silver, Diamond Black and Solar Red.
It’s a budget phone we are talking about so this new phone from Oppo is not packing a dual camera like most of the recently released phones. Behind the phone, users will find a 13-megapixel camera with f/2.2 aperture and PDAF. It’s capable of capturing 1080p videos at 30fps. As the phone is packing a processor that can handle capturing 4K videos, it’s slightly disappointing to see the absence of this feature. The front camera is a good 8-megapixel one which also comes with f/2.2 aperture. You can also check out the OnePlus 5T and Asus Zenfone 5 if you are in the market for a phone with a good camera. These are slightly more expensive compared to the Oppo Realme 1 Dubai price.
Usually budget phones pack entry level processors which are not good enough for handling any heavy stuff but things are different with the Oppo Realme 1. It’s packing a decent Mediatek MT6771 Helio P60 octa-core processor paired with optional 3GB/4GB/6GB of RAM depending on the storage option you choose. There are three storage options to choose from with this RAM: 32GB/64GB/128GB. A big 3410mAh Li-Ion battery is inside to power all these things up. Other notable features include: microSD card slot, Bluetooth 4.2 and a microUSB 2.0 port. There is also the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 you can check out which comes a big 3790mAh battery.
This is where things get really interesting, it’s price tag. Oppo Realme 1 is currently available for only AED 500 . Considering the specs, design, display and camera, this is definitely a steal at this price.

Inbreeding: Breeding between closely related individuals. H f = Heterozygosity observed in a population experiencing inbreeding The inbreeding coefficient (f) can be calculated by:
1.P robability that two homologous alleles in an individual are IBD. 2.Value of “f” ranges from 0 to 1. Inbreeding coefficient (f) A1A2A2A2 A1A2 A1A1IBD A1A2 A1 Not IBD
The inbreeding coefficient (f) can be calculated using the fixation index (F), assuming the departure from HWE is entirely due to inbreeding. H O > H E, negative F-value. H O < H E, positive F-value.
Selfing: The most extreme form of inbreeding Many plants, and some animals, are capable of self- fertilization Some only self, while others have a mixed mating system o Selfing rate: S o Outcrossing rate: T = (1 - S) (http://www.life.illinois.edu/help/digitalflowers/BreedingSystems/5.htm)
At inbreeding equilibrium, there is no change in heterozygosity i.e. H t = H t-1 = H eq
Rate of self-fertilization (S) can be estimated from the relationship: Assumptions: 1.Population is in inbreeding equilibrium. 2.Deviation from HWE is entirely due to self- fertilization.
Problem 1: Mountain dwarf pine (Pinus mugo) typically grows at high elevations in Southern and Central Europe. Unlike most other pines, P. mugo forms multiple intertwined stems and one tree can occupy areas as large as 50-100 m2. Relatively little is known about the population genetics of this species, with most of the available information coming from several studies based on allozyme markers. (Ukrainian Carpathians; Wikimedia Commons)
Download the data (file pmugo_allozymes.xls), analyze them using GenAlEx, and use the output of your analyses to answer the following questions: a)Are most populations and loci in HWE? If not, are departures generally due to heterozygote excess or deficiency? b)How do you explain differences among loci in departures from HWE? Do some loci tend to show more departures than others? c)How do you explain differences among populations? d)P. mugo has a mixed mating system. Assuming that the observed level of inbreeding can be accounted for by self-fertilization alone, what is the estimated rate of self-fertilization S? e)The rate of self-fertilization can be estimated more reliably if the genotypes of the progeny are compared to the genotypes of their mothers for multiple loci. An estimate of the average rate of self-fertilization using this approach is S = 0.15. How would you explain the difference between this estimate and the one you calculated in d)? Please consider the biology of this organism in your response.
Example 1: Estimate the inbreeding coefficient of progeny resulting from mating between half-first cousins. Half first-cousins share one grandparent.
CA A1A2 B C DE P A2A2 P(A2)= 1/2 CA A1A2 B C DE P Overall probability that the two alleles in the offspring will be IBD is: f = P(A1A1) + P(A2A2) = 1/64 + 1/64 = 1/32 P(A2)= 1/2
Chain- Counting Technique: 1 2 3 4 5 Where, N= # of individuals in the chain. Chain for half-first cousin: D-B-CA-C-E
Example 2: Estimate the inbreeding coefficient of progeny P. m= # of common ancestors = 2 Chain 1: D-B-CA1-C-E Chain 2: D-B-CA2-C-E N1= 5 N2= 5
When common ancestors are inbred : Where, f CA(i) is the inbreeding coefficient of the i- th common ancestor.
Estimation of Kinship coefficient A1A2 A3A4 A1A3 A2A3 A3A3A2A3 Inbreeding coefficient (f): P robability that two homologous alleles in an individual are IBD. Kinship coefficient (fxy): Probability that two alleles, one randomly chosen from each individual are IBD. XY
A1A2 A3A4 A1A3 A2A3 A3A3A2A3 H A3A3 Estimation of Kinship coefficient Kinship coefficient between two individuals X and Y (f XY ) = inbreeding coefficient (f) of a hypothetical offspring from X and Y. X Y
Problem 2: The kinship coefficient of two individuals is the probability that two alleles, one randomly chosen from each individual, are IBD. If the two individuals can reproduce, their kinship coefficient is equal to the inbreeding coefficient of the resulting offspring. Assuming that all common ancestors have f CA = 0.01, determine the kinship coefficients for the following relationships: a)Half-sibs (i.e., siblings that share one parent). b)Full first cousins (offspring of full siblings). c)GRADUATE STUDENTS ONLY: Monozygotic twins (Hint: Do not use the chain counting technique for this case. Think about the strict definition of the kinship coefficient). d)Parent and offspring. e)Uncle and niece. f)Grandmother and granddaughter. g)GRADUATE STUDENTS ONLY: Double-first cousins (i.e., first cousins that share all four grandparents).
GenotypeCount PP343 PR87 PW62 RR248 RW57 WW223 IBD Problem 3. You have decided to do some targeted sequencing to determine actual genotype distributions for the locus controlling flower color in the Mountain Laurel population described in Lab 3. You obtain the following results: a)Quantitatively evaluate the null hypothesis that this population does not deviate from Hardy Weinberg expectations. b)Assuming the departure from HWE results entirely from inbreeding, what is the inbred fraction of this population? c)Develop a biological hypothesis to explain your results.

Tenant 30 day notice template, Eviction notice is granted to a tenant from the landowner in order to remove the tenant from his/her property. Eviction has legal validity, and the landowner has the right to proceed with certain actions that are expected to evict the tenant legally. Landowner shouldn’t use physical force against a renter for eliminating the personal belongings. Until the tenant is not violating the conditions agreed in the rental arrangement, the operator should not ship an eviction notice.
Eviction notices will differ from state to statesince they’re heavily regulated in several states, you should be able to load a sample note somewhere online which will give you an notion of your eviction notice should look and what information it needs to contain for your state you reside in. If you can look up the laws in your state as to what much maintain the eviction notice, it’s important that you make sure that your eviction notice is as precise as possible because it is probable your eviction event having gone this far could wind up in court and if you miss anything important it could get your case thrown out of court.
Forms of eviction notice are available at supply stores, and you may prepare it with the help of a professional lawyer. If this notification is not prepared properly, then the tenant can go against this note in court indicating that the landowner has employed vague language in the note. A well written telling for flooding should contain all the terms and conditions divided by the tenant and the opportunity to quit the property. Firstly, you need to write the date in the top left border of the webpage. Write down the name and contact details of the proprietor on successive lines under date.
States vary regarding whether you need to have the notice notarized and the note is delivered to the renter. In some states the note has been posted on the door, whereas in other states the note has to be delivered by a sheriff. Again be sure you consult your nation on the appropriate laws and processes. You can get a free eviction notice form and use your own word processing program to edit it to add exactly what you need in this way you can be sure that your kind is as specific as possible and won’t cause any problems in the future.

Tooth extractions happen every single day and this is a relatively straightforward and simple procedure that is done quickly and without pain. Not only can you fix a number of severe issues this way but you could enjoy a number of benefits associated with the procedure. There are many reasons that you might need this type of service from your dentist and moving through them all could help you to determine whether or not this is a great option for you.
On occasion, tooth decay will be left to fester and grow worse without treatment for months or even years at a time, leaving a tooth rotted out and no longer functional. Not only can these teeth be highly painful over time but they can lead to severe infections that can move into the bloodstream and jaw, causing extreme pain or worse. Tooth extractions help to avoid this by removing the affected tooth before it can cause something so serious to occur and they will save you from a lot of pain in the long run.
It could be that your teeth are simply too numerous for your mouth to handle, especially once you have your wisdom teeth come in, and tooth extractions become necessary to fix the issue. Crowding is often fixed by extracting one or more teeth and then utilizing braces or options such as Invisalign to get the help that you need. Not only will your smile eventually be beautiful and straight but you will never see other teeth begin to grow down on top of others.
On occasion, baby teeth will not loosen whenever adult teeth begin to grow in, leaving the new tooth no choice but to grow behind, in front of, or beside the original tooth. This may cause more than a few problems and require extractions as a solution. To learn more, you can choose to visit newagedentalcare.com or dial (636) 449-0215 to speak with a New Age Dental Care representative. You can follow them on Twitter for latest update!

The Dream was replaced by Dark Cloud Nightmare!
Dan’l Levin Corporate Vice President at Microsoft
We at the Directorate have the most marvelous dreams. The dream we had last night featured Microsoft, Interknowlogy and the Dem & GOP party chiefs.
A narrator, with a voice like velvet, spoke:
Since the days of old, elections have been stolen, rigged, bought and corrupt forces have thwarted the will of the people for their own selfish gains. Nothing has changed in 2016, now the rigging is done with an app created for Microsoft by Interknowlogy.
When a company like Microsoft offers to freely donate time and technology to the election process it raises many red flags. Why? When you make no money, the most obvious reason is it allows them to skew the results and influence elections. Which is precisely what Microsoft has been engaged in as they promote their open border/H1B Visa foreign worker agenda to eliminate US workers and…

As transit agencies ponder how to lure riders back after the pandemic, the answer is simple: provide fast, frequent and reliable service. (Vice)
Raising transit’s share of the traditional 80/20 split with highways is starting to gain traction in the Senate (Transportation for America). In Oregon, a group of 40 political leaders and advocacy groups is pushing for a 50/50 split (Bike Portland).
Two senators are reviving a bill that would ease already-lax regulations on autonomous vehicles, even after a recent crash where no one was behind the wheel of a Tesla. (The Verge)
Cities and states are too reliant on revenue from traffic fines and fees that hit low-income drivers the hardest. (Route Fifty)
Bike registration laws, while rarely enforced, are enforced disproportionately against people of color. (City Lab)
The pandemic brought some blessed peace and quiet, but as traffic returns to streets, so is noise. Slowing traffic down and new technology like “noise cameras” can help. (Slate)
From conservationists to taxpayer watchdogs to rural residents who live in their path, almost everyone is opposed to three new highways in Florida. (Grist)
If I-45 is widened, Houston at least wants to make sure there’s room for transit. (Chronicle)
Biking was up 22 percent in Los Angeles in 2019 compared to 2017. (Cities Today)
The Baltimore Sun wants President Biden’s infrastructure bill to revive the Red Line canceled by Gov. Larry Hogan.
Washington, D.C. needs emergency road diets, lower speed limits and more space for walking, biking and transit to achieve its Vision Zero goal. (Greater Greater Washington)
Walk Bike Tampa is pushing to close loopholes in a law requiring developers to build sidewalks. (WFTS)
Uber drivers in Africa are hoping to follow the lead of their British counterparts, who successfully sued for a minimum wage and benefits like paid leave. (Quartz)
In contrast to the U.S., where traffic deaths were up last year, European drivers killed 4,000 fewer people in 2020 than in 2019. (European Sting)
Finally, we don’t care much for what happens in Tinseltown, but last night’s Oscars provided yet another reminder of the grim toll that cars take on our society. In accepting his Best Foreign Film award, “Another Round” director Thomas Vinterberg dedicated the movie to his daughter, who was killed in a car crash just four days into shooting. The LA Times story called the crash an “accident,” and moved on quickly, but other outlets reported that Ida Vinterberg was killed because another driver was looking at his cellphone instead of the road. But no one wants to talk about that.
Despite some horrendous transit cuts looming in Seattle, the Washington legislature can’t seem to get a transportation budget passed, reports Josh Feit at PubliCola. The state’s Democrats and Republicans are struggling to reach an agreement, he says, and a recent budget proposal from two lawmakers helps explain the impasse. As Seattle Metro riders brace for […]
With more and more Republicans coming out against provisions of the House transportation bill, the GOP leadership has opted to split their massive bill into three parts to be debated and voted on separately, Politico reports. The thinking, as Larry Ehl writes, is that members will be allowed “to go on record voting ‘yes’ on sections they strongly […]
Judging from the level of our national debate, you would guess we are a nation strongly divided on the issue of climate change. But you’d be wrong, according to a new poll from Yale University. A representative survey of 1,010 adults found that 71 percent think that global warming should be a “very high,” “high” […]
Earlier this year Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said he wants to help repair the damage done to cities by highways. And this week U.S. DOT took some steps to make that happen, announcing the winners of its “Every Place Counts Design Challenge.” The four chosen cities (out of 33 applicants) will get technical assistance from U.S. DOT to tear down or cap highways, or […]
Supporters of livable streets may hear about the “flexibility” of transportation dollars and cringe – after all, that word often refers to the ability of states to use bike/ped money for road building. But flexibility can work both ways. Between 2007 and 2011, states devoted $5 billion in surface transportation funds — known in some […]
Commuting in the Silicon Valley is a nightmare, writes Richard Masoner at Cyclelicious, and that’s by design. For the last 50 years, housing and employment growth have occurred in separate areas. And with streets that prioritize car traffic above all, the trip between home and work has gotten progressively more miserable. Masoner decided to give folks […]

End of Marijuana Prohibition Letter
By David B. Allen M.D.
My name is David B. Allen M.D.. I had previously sent you a copy of my press release. I expect you have received it.
I am writing you to direct your attention on a United States Patent 6,630,507 of Cannabinoids as Antioxidants and Neruoprotectants.(attached) The Patent is quite com- plex and hard to read for most lay public. I am a profes- sional scientific journal reviewer by my credentials as a heart surgeon. This Patent; which by acceptance by the patent office, is evidence that everything contained in that patent is considered the Truth. If you look on page 17 (of 26 total pages) and read column 16 under example 7 in vivo rat studies line 60 thru 63 it states the following; “This data shows that infarct size (the size of the Stroke) was approximately halved in the animals treated with Cannabidiol, which was also accompanied by a substan- tial improvement in the neurological status of the ani- mal.”
This is proof by the governments own hand, that Cannabidiol and THC both Decrease the size of a stroke by 50%. Since Cannabidiol is extremely safe in large doses in humans and does not have any euphoric effects (does- n’t get you high); It would not change the physical exam of a patient having a stroke, and could be used without masking any change in the neurologic status.
Each year there are 800,000 strokes in the United States, of these 150,000 die and the rest are left to suffer the con- sequences of the stroke. A 50% reduction in a stroke would be a miracle as no other drug available today can decrease stroke size by any percent. (clot busters exclud- ed) The difference of 50% reduction would mean the dif- ference between the stroke victim being able to walk or not or talk or not. The monetary savings in health care and the human suffering make this issue too important to ignore.
Based on this US Patent and the safety factor of Cannabidiol there is no excuse for not doing clinical phase 3 human trials. I suspect many people would volunteer to receive this safe drug if they had a chance to reduce their stroke by 50%. I know I would. This medicine Cannabidiol could be available as a urgent as needed basis or as a daily supplement in high risk patients. The chances of drug diversion of this medication would be ZERO.
This is no mistake; There is also evidence in the British Journal of Pharmacology entitled “Acute administration of Cannabidiol in vivo suppresses ischaemia-induced cardiac arrhythmias and reduces infarct size when given at reperfusion.” (also attached) This complex title states Cannabidiol reduces arrhythmias caused by low blood flow and decreases the size of the myocardial infarction. This study in and of itself, is not proof, but is very good evidence, that heart attacks are also diminished by approximately 50% please see figure 3 pp 1238
This is copy from the study;
Effect of CBD on infarct size; Figure 3 illustrates the effects of the higher dose of CBD (50 mg·kg-1) on both area at risk (percentage of left ven- tricular area) and infarct size (percentage of area at risk). Area at risk was similar across all groups. Administration of CBD (50 mg·kg-1) prior to coronary occlusion signifi- cantly reduced infarct size, as did its administration imme- diately prior to reperfusion, when compared with vehicle- treated control rats (both P < 0.001; Figure 3).
In my opinion the study is not well written and they do not state exact percent of heart muscle saved but figure 3 shows about 50% reduction. (see attachment)
I have read the adverse articles printed in the local Mississippi newspapers about Mississippi Medical Marijuana bill (Bill 2252). The above information is not known to the public and would silence anyone who thinks there is no medical utility for cannabis. This is of course only a small application of the medical utility of cannabis. (Marijuana is improper terminology)
I would like to further discuss many more articles show- ing proof of medical utility of Cannabis, and absents of harm. I have NIH studies that show improvement in reac- tion time of Drivers using cannabis.
No one can deny the science. Cannabis is not only a medicine,; It is Life Saving Medicine! This medicine will be used legally here in California with great benefit, but this benefit may be unnoticed. We need to allow formal Clinical trials but this is not possible in today’s political environment. There is a virtual moratorium of free scientific medical study of cannabis in the United States. Many studies could be done with little risk to patients and to delineate the potentials of this medicine. The patients are already using the medicine, we just have to do organized study of them.
This Medicine will be used legally in California and in states where LAWMAKERS do not prevent sick and dying patients from receiving this life saving medication. I sus- pect that once the medical utility is proven without doubt that no politician will want to have been on the side of the law that incarcerated citizens for using life saving medi- cine. Cannabis prohibition cannot stand much longer. The science is behind this miraculous plant.
I write this letter not because I have anything to gain. I write this letter because I have suffered because of the unjust laws that hurt our society. It is past time to end the suffering of the illnesses and suffering from the laws.
I pray this letter is a National call to reason.
For one believes that he may eat all things: another who is weak eats herbs.
Let not him that eats (herbs) despise him that eats not;

Deal ends threat of U.S. tariffs against Mexico.
The prospect of pop-up tariffs hitting everything coming across the border has the people who work in the export-import trade worried.

This implies he’s in it for the run that is long!
Everyone understands that technology has practically revolutionized the method individuals start relationships nowadays. It’s so less difficult for people for connecting with the other person regardless of the restrictions as a result of distance. It is currently feasible to deliver communications to individuals hundreds of thousands of kilometers away in just a matter of milliseconds. All around the world so it’s no secret that the phenomenon of texting has helped shape peoples’ relationships. This has develop into an important device of interaction for most partners, and also at times, it could either make or break a relationship.
Simply take the situation of you casually participating in sexual relations with a man. Needless to say, there clearly was some chemistry here, but you’re maybe maybe perhaps not completely certain that you are able to raise up your relationship to one thing beyond intimate encounters. You also don’t want to place yourself within the place of getting to inquire of what your location is within the relationship.

Do Christmas Eve Dinner Like The Italians With This Modern Twist On The Feast of The Seven Fishes
Photo: Sofie Delauw (Getty Images)
Unlike other cultures, Italians aren’t big on fasting. Piles of perfectly al dente pasta, crusty bread dipped in olive oil, and tables lined with carbs covered in rich sauces, cheeses, and meats are a way of life, so the Feast of the Seven Fishes Christmas Eve dinner is their version of “fasting.” That’s definitely something we support wholeheartedly.
While there are traditional menu items for this edible extravaganza, the only real requirement is that the dishes be meat-free and served before midnight Mass — and, of course, accompanied by lots and lots of wine! So, here are some ideas for a re-imagined feast that gives this timeless tradition a twist that everyone will enjoy. (Church attendance optional.)
Bartender approved: The 5 Best Christmas Beers
Course 1: Appetizer
Since there are six more dishes to follow, the first course should be something light and snacky. Many Italian-American households serve baccalà (salted cod) in a classic preparation, cut into chunks, dredged in flour, fried and braised in a spicy tomato sauce. But to keep it a touch lighter and more crowd friendly, we recommend a tuna crudo (basically Italy’s version of sashimi), dressed simply with a touch of lemon and olive oil. It’s fresh enough to cleanse the palate and flavorful enough to set the tone for what’s to come. Plus, with the rise in popularity of poke, this dish is sure to please all your guests. Pair it with a buttery white wine like a Chardonnay, and off we go! Get the recipe here.

Course 2: Salad
Typically, a crisp, invigorating salad would be served to pave the way for heavier dishes to follow, but haven’t you heard? These days, lettuce’ll kill you. Sorry, romaine, you ruined it for everyone. But we’re perfectly happy to stray from the standard (usually a squid salad) and instead opt for freeing the fish from its bed of greens. Grilled octopus with a tangy ancho chile sauce gives the tastebuds that revitalizing kick while the sherry-braised tentacles are tender enough to keep your guests from filling up. Pair this course with something bright and bubbly like a Lambrusco to keep the palate piqued. Get the recipe here.

Course 3: Something Hearty
Now that the first two courses have subtly sparked our hunger, it’s time for something a little heavier. Here’s where you would normally see an array of deep-fried fishes or stuffed whole lobster, but to build on the slow momentum of this modernized feast, mini lobster pot pies are the perfect step up to the pasta premiering next. Swirls of silky cream, swaddling steamed chunks of lobster with sweet corn and scalloped potatoes in a flaky pastry crust give the illusion of decadence without over-indulging, thanks to their small ceramic casserole encasing. Pop open a vibrant bottle of Pouilly-Fuissé or Pinot Grigio and let fruity notes carry you to the fourth course. Get the recipe here.

Course 4: Pasta
No bountiful Italian banquet is complete without pasta, and since we’re nearing the end of this glorious gorge fest, we can pack on some richer ingredients for the full carb experience. Linguine with clams or spaghetti alla puttanesca (tomato sauce with anchovies) are go-to options, but we’re taking things to the next level with Brown Butter Scallops with Parmesan Risotto. Okay, risotto is technically rice, but still a carb, and this recipe is so buttery and decadent, you won’t even miss the flour-based variety. But if you long for sheets of creamy, sauce-soaked carbs, this seafood lasagna with shrimp and crab meat, smothered in mozzarella, should do the trick. We don’t subscribe to the no cheese and seafood rule, and you shouldn’t either. Both pair beautifully Sauvignon Blanc, or if you want to bring out more of the sweetness of the shellfish, grab a bottle of dry rosé, and let the taste of the ocean take you away. Get the recipe here.

Course 5: The Main Event
Even with our rich seafood pastas, the meal’s been pretty subdued so far (as in no one’s unbuttoning their pants just yet). That’s the beauty of an all-seafood menu – even the "heaviest" dishes are light, allowing us to showcase this whole-roasted halibut with lemons, olive, and rosemary for the fifth course. This delicate, briny dish is a savory segue to the upcoming dessert and the slightly charred filet imparts a meaty quality as we prepare for one final palate cleanser. Serve with a side of fingerling potatoes or sautéed spinach and a chilled glass of smoky Fumé Blanc as we approach the finish line. Get the recipe here.

Course 6: The Palate Cleanser
Anything with citrus or mint works well as a palate cleanser to reset your tastebuds, but rather than go the sorbet route, we decided on oysters with citrus vodka. Many menus might also call for a shot of limoncello at this point, but the citrus vodka mimics a refreshing beverage while silky oysters sweep away any remnant flavors in your mouth, leaving you refreshed and ready for your luxurious final course. Get the recipe here.

Course 7: Dessert
This course would usually bring an array of Italian cookies, and of course, cannoli, but we’re not about to go with the usual at this point. To build on our citrus-y previous course, enjoy this Blood Orange Upside Down Cake, conceived by renowned Los Angeles chefs Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo of Animal fame, and their newest restaurant, Jon & Vinny’s. This duo knows their way around a recipe and the sweet and tangy blood oranges that are in peak season right now, atop a spongy polenta cake that’s lush but airy, is the perfect cap off to a Christmas Eve crescendo of crustaceans. Pour a glass of tawny port, and call it a night. Get the recipe here.

Tomorrow is Friday the thirteenth and for many who are superstitious this means a wild, unlucky, and unpredictable night is ahead. The box office will not mirror that definition of bad luck as quite a few movies are destined to do great. Tomorrow is a fantastic night for the theaters. Take a look at a list of movies being released on the infamous Friday the thirteenth!
Tyler Perry's A Madea Christmas
This Christmas Madea joins her friend to a trip in the country where the two will infiltrate the relationship of her friend’s daughter. As usual, Tyler Perry delivers a great family movie that fans will look forward to watching over and over again. The film is expected to be riddled with quick and witty responses as usual and a moral behind the madness in the end. This time, the film is not overpowered by a star studded cast but it should still be worth watching. Check out the trailer in this article to get a preview of tomorrow’s release. Click on the trailer to see who will star in this film alongside Madea.
In this film Paul Walker is the protagonist. The late humanitarian and actor completed this film two weeks prior to his death. It centers on a man who has just welcomed a newborn baby into the world. Moments later, the notorious hurricane Katrina hits New Orleans, power is lost and hope dwindles as Nolan tries to keep his baby and himself alive. The film is touching and is enough to evoke even the toughest critic as it displays the true horrors surrounding hurricane Katrina. A great film to watch and an inspiring tale for all, The Hours is set to release tomorrow. Check out the trailer for a sneak peek.
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. Here is a synopsis from firstlookonline.
“Bilbo Baggins continues his journey with the Wizard Gandalf and thirteen Dwarves, led by Thorin Oakenshield, on an epic quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain and the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor. Having survived the beginning of their unexpected journey, the Company continues East, encountering along the way the skin-changer Beorn and a swarm of giant Spiders in the treacherous forest of Mirkwood. After escaping capture by the dangerous Wood-elves, the Dwarves journey to Lake-town, and finally to the Lonely Mountain itself, where they must face the greatest danger of all-a creature more terrifying than any other; one which will test not only the depth of their courage but the limits of their friendship and the wisdom of the journey itself-the Dragon Smaug.”
Be sure to check out other films being released tomorrow and visit a local Miami movie theater.

And thanks to all those in Victoria who invested their confidence in me over the last three. Got more votes this time than last, but the shifting fortunes of electoral math put me a few hundred votes and one spot out of the running.
Back to business, however, or so to speak. I've always got projects on the go on cycling, walking or other transportation initiatives and now, as an outsider, I'll be back in the gallery at city hall where I hope to keep an eye on projects I began or helped to move forward. I see some of those losing momentum and other priorities popping up. I won't be shy about sharing my views and critiques of the city's performance.
I hope also to be launching a "Municipal Watch" element to my johnluton.ca web page and invite comments in on local issues, not just in Victoria, but around the Capital Region.
First up, though, is the seemingly endless debate on what to do with our new Johnson St. Bridge. Shovels have only just been put into the ground to start work moving utility lines and setting up new intersection treatments for cyclists and pedestrians connecting between downtown and the Galloping Goose trail. Still, carping critics have come back with some "new ideas" about how we can design rail into the road bridge, certainly a service we want to see remain in Victoria, but no "solutions" are as simple as those critics would have us believe. Sent some notes back to the local paper after a recent story on bridge plans. Not sure it will get published, so here is what I wrote:
The new bridge debate:
Coming back with some new blogs soon I hope. Already have some critiques aimed at new councillors and they haven't yet taken office!

This playlist is a sampler of Cincinnati-area bands and thematically-appropriate songs for Opening Day. The songs below don't all appear. It's 2013, where are my jetpacks and embeddable, Borgesian music-streaming services?
"The Boys are Back in Town" - Thin Lizzy
Thin Lizzy may be from Ireland, but it's easy enough to see why this song has been played at Great American Ballpark to punctuate Reds' victories. The soaring riff and triumphal theme of masculine return are pretty spot-on. And there isn't a better pairing of rich guitar tone and lyric content to approximate the beginning of a baseball season:
The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
Won't be long till summer comes
Now that the boys are here again
"Talkin' Baseball" (Reds Edition, 1983) - Terry Cashman
Apparently Terry Cashman has done several of these for the Reds, but this '83 edition was the one I could find on YouTube. I didn't look up whether he was related to Yanks' GM Brian Cashman, but either way, his name fits his enterprise pretty well.
The Cincinnati Kid - Ray Charles
There isn't a "Cincinnati Kid" like Rose or Larkin on the current Reds' squad, but if the Reds were to pick up Votto's 2024 option, he will have been in the Reds' organization for 22 of his 40 years. Despite being from Toronto, he'll be as much a Cincinnati Kid as any of us.
1987 Reds Open
This isn't a song, per se. It's a demo key from a Casio synthesizer. But if your earliest memories of watching baseball included intro sequences like this, it's also dripping with nostalgia.
"Cincinnati Hat" - Showtime
There's no "Empire State of Mind" for the Queen City, but this does the job.
There's more in the Grooveshark playlist above.
