Just heard from Anne at The Bramble Patch. She wrote to thank us all for exhibiting there and to let us know that the exhibition raised £1500 for Macmillan cancer care. Isn't that great news!
Now, on to thinking about the next outing for Orientation at Minerva....
Great news. I really enjoyed seeing the quilts for their second outing, and the new ones added to the collection since Redditch. </s> Even on the weekends, I have to remember that it gets warm very quickly as the sun comes up. This morning I woke up early enough, but I rolled over a few too many times.
I was making sure that it wasn't going to be raining. A few days of strength training have left me legs and body feeling tired and weak. I knew I was going to have to push through these five miles, but I didn't know I was going to have to push this hard. It's been a pretty decent week with the new shoes. I've felt strong and refreshed...until today.
We finished. A little slower than I would have liked, but not by much, considering. We're just not good with heat. It's going to be a long summer. </s>
  Good luck!

Why boycott Israel? -10th March
The recent leak of the Palestine papers has made clear just how non-existant any peace process is. In this stalemate, as Israel continuesexpropriate land, enforce a brutal siege on Gaza, and lock up political leaders, what direction should the movement for a just peace take?

Lobuche is an attractive peak located in Khumbu region, which. Lobuche East is among one of the most technical climb peaks in Nepal. It is not the highest as it is at the altitude of 6119m. However, it requires a great skill in both main and fixed rope climbing and involves some step and slippery rocks slabs and snow slopes to reach south west ridge, which is just below the glacier. This then leads to the high camp. The final climb to the summit depending on the time of year could require climbing at an angle of 70 to 75 degree with some belayed snow or ice climbing. It is because of this that it is a technical climb and people who wish to take on this challenging summit must have knowledge and experience of rope climbing, the use of ice axe and crampons, and also for the descent a knowledge of abseiling.

Westporters can breathe a sigh of relief now that the Board of Finance voted to raise taxes by 4.98 percent at its Monday meeting, rescinding the 7 percent tax increase it had previously decided upon during its May 21 meeting.
The board also set a mill rate of 14.41, higher than the previous year's rate of 13.73 but slightly lower than the 14.70 mill rate set at the May 21 meeting.
A my. With the new mill rates, a Westporter who owns a $500,000 home will pay $7,205 in taxes for the 2008-09 fiscal year. Last fiscal year, the same Westporter would have paid $6,865.
The board was able to reconsider its previous tax increase because First Selectman Gordon Joseloff held off on reporting the mill rate to Hartford and printing the tax bill.
"That gave us the breathing room we needed to investigate further," said Finance Board Chairman Jeffrey Mayer.
To lower the 7 percent increase the board had decided upon at its May 21 meeting, Joseloff proposed a 5.25-percent increase, and said the town would contribute $2.5 million from the general fund in order to lower taxes.
Republicans suggested raising taxes by 4.72 percent, an increase that is equal to the 2008-09 budget increase, according to Republican board member Avi Kaner. The board eventually decided to split the difference between Jose-loff's and the Republican's proposal and raise taxes by 4.98 percent, Mayer said.
The board took $2.9 million from the town's reserves to offset the tax increase.
Kaner said the money taken from the reserve will not affect the town's AAA bond rating.
"Our reserves have historically been at a level that's above what rating agencies look for," Kaner said.
The mill rate was previously raised so that the town could conform45), an accounting principle that requires municipalities to financially plan for post-employment benefits of its workers.
conservative thing at the time and we fully funded them."
GASB is a nongovernmental organization that sets accounting standards. Disobedience of GASB standards could negatively affect the town's bond rating, according to board members.
Mayer said the town will still be able to fulfill its GASB45 requirements while keeping the tax raise at a reasonable amount. The town will administer a phased-in approach to meet the GASB requirements, Kaner said.
"We managed to simultaneously lower the tax raise and at the same time fully fund our retiree health benefits," said Mayer.
"That's huge, and I think that's a testament to the hard work the board has been doing with the first selectman over the past few weeks," he said.

Contributor Vikki Boynton, whom I thank for her kind reply refers to "the fact that a huge amount of people are not turning their tellys off and are being bombarded with untruths and misrepresentation and so on." It would not surprise me, if what you write, ma'am, turned out to be true but two questions seem to me in that connexion to spring to mind.
First, is a decent individual in a position to exert any corrective influence on a situation such as you describe otherwise than by turning the thing off or in extremis by having aerials or other receiving devices removed?
Second, is not the problem which you identify a consequence - no doubt unintended - of the championing of the primacy of human curiosity, perhaps most clearly to be seen in the almost universal adulation which the sciences - now consolidated into a single entity "Science" – nowadays attract from their admirers, an adulation which might have been as indulgently overlooked as a teenage “crush”, had its object not spawned technologies so revolutionary and so seductive in their promised favours that resistance to their blandishments came to be practicable only for those too old or too traditional in their ways to learn the requisite new tricks. One of those new tricks, the Internet – surely the most democratic thing on the planet - has taken democracy out of the hands of politicians and put it within reach of anyone rich enough to own a computer and to “go on-line”. It has also had the effect of making many children more sophisticated than their parents – a dirty trick to play on the young mind.
I felt sure that Mr Reid-Brown’s concern was for society as a whole and not just for himself, of course, but my point was that, if we are so keen on democracy, we have to take the rough with the smooth.
Hello Vikki and Peter Preston
Not sure what came over me when I said I'd try- I think it was Vikki and Guy imbibing me with their zeal (mind you, if Mary Poppins was waiting on my roof I dare say I'd risk it- more chance of Strictly Come Dancing being cancelled unfortunately).

It wold be easier if they were. The land wasn't showing them the way out.
They'd been wandering for three days, waiting for the forest to open a door to another world. Havell was the second world Ivalia and her friends visited and the one she liked the least. Everyone fought constantly. They were obsessed with war.
Ivalia's little brother, Dija, could sense where the next door would open but he couldn't tell when. She could feel the expected power in the air. This was the place. Ivalia used her power to ask the forest to open the door. Nothing happened. She should've known better. Dija was better at this yet the land wasn't listening to him. Probably becuse it was dying. Ivalia thought they got here early enough.
Dija, who'd been traveling through the trees, dropped in front of her.
Three days without running into any battles. She should've known it wouldn't last long. Pity. The scene was so beautiful, except for the smell.
Ivalia tried talking to the forest again. She got only screams in response. The forest was in pain. She pushed power into it. Maybe it could heal itself. The land screamed louder.
"We're not fighting." Raav seemed only capable of grumbling.
Havell reminded her too much of home- pretty on the surface, rotten underneath. They'd been here almost a year and Ivalia hadn't figure out what creatures lived in darkness. She didn't know if they caused the constant fighting or simply fed off of it. The monsters followed every battle.
The forest released a sound that shattered her heart. Darkness covered everything. The trees, the ground, the grass all went quiet. No matter how many times Ivalia connected to the land, she could feel or hear a thing. A suffocating smell like rotting corpses cooked over an open fire rolled through the land.
"Do you think these are the same creatures that killed our home," Raav asked.
Atyl put her hand on her brother's shoulder. "Our people didn't need any help doing that."
Raav walked close enough to her that their hands kept bumping. Bickering, for them, was normal. She found some comfort in that. Still, Ivalia enjoyed times like these every now and them. She could almost pretend the last three years never happened. Dija slipped his arm around her waist. It felt just like home. Maybe they didn't need the perfect place.
"That's a pleasant thought," Raav said under his breath.
Something cold and wet slid up her leg. Ivalia sucked in a breath and released a small measure of power She pushed away the arm of darkness trying to drag her under.
"Let's find a place to stay before we get attacked," Atyl said.

I love this post, and I love Q! My ex boyfriend’s mom did this as well. She gave up a relationship with her son and used her religion as the excuse. It hurts my heart to see something as beautiful and faith used to divide and hurt. But I guess people will use whatever they can to justify their ignorance. Sometimes you just have to brush the haters off (yeah, I said it!) and live your life…… even if those haters are your family.
Beautiful and poignant. Thank you Amanda 🙂
“I have chosen to worship God…not religion; and that means that when religion conflicts with what I know of God, I’m free to disregard it.”
Wow, forget about religion, the key word that caught my eye here is Love, i guess when we choose to love unconditionally everything else just falls into place, and then that love has led you to a religion of peace, may your message reach as many who have an otherwise opinion of Islam,MashAllah..
How insightful of you – I have spent many years distrusting organized religion, and it just now dawns on me those feelings come from the people, not the religion itself. I was raised similarly as you – never baptized, but my parents were. We were alienated from extended family growing up, and friendships were discouraged from outside of the religion. My mother left the church for a long while and started going back five or so years ago (she was never dis-fellowshipped). She has not alienated us; she does not witness to us every time we see her (thankfully!). One of my sisters is very active in her non-denominational Christian church, and I can honestly say she is much more judging of others than my mother is. My mom says, and she believes, it’s not her place to judge anyone. She is living her life the way she feels is the right way. How can I argue with that? I am blessed and fortunate that she treats her family as lovingly as she does. I can only imagine the change from when she was active before to when she chose to go back now may be leadership within her congregation too, that may not preach to not associate with unlike-minded people. I have friends of many, many different faiths and value the ability to talk openly to learn about different religions. I think a lot of us do a disservice to our children by not teaching them, or let them interact, with other faiths.

In order to be experts in vacuum technology, we are able to offer various techniques such as turning, milling, welding and leak testing. We produce products of various sizes. In the area of machining, we have both 3-axis and 5-axis milling machines and turning machines with powered tools.
When supplying combined vacuum precision mechanical assemblies, welding technology must be a part of this. With the help of our Tig welding equipment, we weld pipework, vacuum chambers and welding assemblies together carefully and leak-tight. We mainly weld stainless steel, but the welding of more exotic materials such as titanium or Monel is also possible. Tooling developed in-house is regularly used to achieve the most optimal welding process.
When extremely clean conditions are required, assembly takes place in our certified cleanroom. In the cleanroom we have the facilities to test the composite products and welding compositions for leak tightness. To guarantee quality, each individual product is tested using a helium leak tester. Employees who are active in the cleanroom have vacuum knowledge and are qualified to work in a cleanroom. Because in addition to the requirement of a leak-proof product, the cleanliness of a product may also be important, we can demonstrate the cleanliness of the products by means of an RGA (Rest Gas Analysis). Behind the assembly area is the area in which our ultrasonic cleaning station is located. Here the products are ultrasonically cleaned and packaged vacuum clean.
In addition to assembly in the cleanroom, compositions can also be assembled outside the cleanroom.

Israel's diamond trade figures for 2007 showed a substantial rise in all areas, making 2007 the best year ever for the Israeli Diamond Industry.<?
Israel Diamond Institute (IDI) Chairman Moti Ganz said that he was gratified with the results for 2007. "The world diamond industry is undergoing major changes -- in rough supply, in manufacturing locations, and the awakening of new consumer markets. I am pleased to say that the Israeli Diamond Industry is proving its strength by adjusting to these changes successfully. While 2008 promises to be a challenging year, I am confident Israel willworld diamond arena."
Israel Diamond Exchange (IDE) President Avi Paz said that despite the decrease in sales to the U.S., Israeli diamantaires had succeeded by dispersing their sales to additional markets. "The distribution of polished diamond exports over a wide base of markets is very important for the Israeli Diamond Industry. We have targeted China and India for the coming year, since they have the greatest potential for future growth. Japan is also a very important market for our industry."
IDI Managing Director Eli Avidar noted that the Israeli Diamond Industry, represented by the IDI Group of Companies, took important steps in meeting the challenges facing the global industry. "During the year, we focused our activities in several strategic directions. We targeted China and its neighbors as a major market for Israeli diamond exports. To this end we opened IDI Asia Pacific in Hong Kong to serve the region and launched the first Chinese language portal site of any diamond center. In the field of rough supply, we initiated ties with African rough producing countrieLiberia to promote ties The Third International Rough Diamond Conference which we are organizing on February 11 and 12 in Tel Aviv will be the key event on the rough diamond calendar of 2008."

*with two exceptions: Freedom Jazz Dance and Gingerbread Boy (both from Miles Smiles). But even there, I much prefer the Eddie Harris and Jimmy Heath versions.
With all due respect, that's your loss. Your perogies, but still your loss. I get that people think the 2nd Quintet is a step back from Ornette/Ayler/Cecil, but to me it totally makes sense as the next step - we can be as free as we want to be and the tune's still there, just as much as the AACM being the next step. The 2nd Q is some pretty abstract stuff: it is to most jazz as most jazz is to square music. Herbie is the right player for that band and that band let him find full Herbie. As a more straight forward groove player, no he's no better than any number of other guys in that bag, although no worse than many either. And Filles and what came after came from the 2nd Q, one step at a time - not the only way 'it' could've gone, so there is something to explore there even if mostly not well explored by those who came after. And was any band picking up on their ques before the Kenny Cox Q?
Not true (just my point of view, but I'm discussing what I find appealing in music). You can play the tune, but then, if you play free, you're no longer playing the tune. You can come back to the tune after you play free, but document it as it happened. The Grateful Dead did that as follows: Playing In The Band>Jam>Not Fade Away>Playing In The Band. When they jam, it begins as a flow from the tune before, but they're not playing the tune anymore. If they jam within a tune, it's pretty apparent they're playing within the tune.
When Miles transitioned to more riff-based music (Filles and after), it seems he considered the tune (composition) as a vehicle for improvisation to be problematic.  Instead, just go with a riff and improvise over it all you want. There's your freedom, but it's also tonal and enjoyable - yes, it's got a good beat and you can dance to it. More power to him.
But if you're going to improvise within a tune, I think it's important (for a performance that's coherent to the listener) to respect the chord structure and stay within the tune.  In fact, why bother with the tune if you're just going to discard it?
A really good example of this tension is on Albert Ayler's First Recordings (I heard it on GNP-Crescendo many years ago). As I recall, the band starts an innocuous standard ("I'll Remember April"), Ayler gets up and immediately starts farting all over the tune. He's not even pretending that what he's playing has a congruence with the tune. I hear it as a simple act of aggression - against the tune, against tonality, against melodicism, and maybe against bourgeois society. He's making the point he intends. I don't want to hear it again.
Or replies to what Mjzee said (needless to say I understand his point), then, might just as well be considered a case of "I know I am right so if they don't listen to what i feel they ought to listen to then they are nowhere". However, it all boils to down to "YMMV" or "one man's meat is another man's poison". And "your loss" arguments usually doesn't hold water either. There isn't that much mandatory listening for EVERYONE in such an IMMENSELY wide field of music and just about anyone can come up with a dozen recordings from one's personal and reasonably wide tastes or favorites that "others" (who admit they don't go for that music because they, in turn, have different priorities and favorites and won't listen to EVERYTHING in DEPTH either) would have to listen to by all means. Not so, though. It's all a matter of taste, and tastes differ, and if it's outside of what you feel like exploring in your tastes then it's no loss to you.

They started before Wayne was in the band, check out what they do on "Stella" from the MFV album. Once the tempo doubles up, there's a different set of changes going on. Different, but related, you can - literally - do the math as to where those new chords came from, build it back down to the original changes. Harmony can withstand all the pummeling you give it, even "free" playing will have a logic, because even if all 12 tones have equal gravity, they still go somewhere, there are still relationships, shapes are still formed, there is no such thing as random harmony, there's just random minds. Look out for them. But geesh, the WayneHerbieRonTony Show was anything but random. Spontaneous as hell, yes, that's the thrill, but they always knew where they were, and that's the more of the thrill.
Past playing tunes, you can play free and still play "the tune". It happens in "classical" music all the time, it's called "variation", and there's no reason on earth whatsoever for any musician not to do that. There's every reason to know what you're doing, though, but that should hold true for life in general.
Yeah, I know, shouldn't have to be a mathematician to keep up with all that, keep mine simple, or, I don't care how legit the math is, I don't like how it sounds. Well, ok, fair enough. But dislike spoken in terms that are just not accurate, personal taste in the guise of scientific fact, that furthers no cause or discussion.
As for Ayler, hearing him play April once is enough for me. But hearing him play, say, "Ghosts", that's something I'll never here enough.
Nobody should like what they don't like, but dammit, an attempt at justifying a dislike by stating assumptions that just are not true, that will get called. It's like that hardbob guy on the old board krypton kept yammering about late Trane had no structure, Cecil's music had no structure on and on, and it was all bullshit, because ALL of that music had structure. If you don't like it, just say so. If you can't hear it, just say so. If you don't want to hear it because you don't like it, just say so. Stick to what you know, don't confuse how you hear it with what is actually happening. A subjective reaction is not an objective analysis, and just because something does make sense logivcally doesn't mean you have to like it esthetically. But by god, math is math.
Albert may not have remembered April (whoever she was) very well, but IMHO he played the shit out of Summertime - remembered things there that most would rather forget.
That's not just a jokey reference to classic early SNL. It's an honest statement that I do not intend to think about math in order to determine if someone is playing free, outside, inside or whatever-the-fuck-they-want to.
I don't doubt Jim's assertion about the "math" but it doesn't make it make anymore sense to those who don't hear in math terms anyway.
I know that the music in this genre I enjoy has a structure that simple people can hear. That math don't lie.
Fwiw the Dead are playing “Playing in the Band” even when it goes way way out just as when they play 35 minute versions of “Dark Star” or “The Other One”, they are still playing “Dark Star” or “The Other One”.
there are many many compositions on the jazz/free jazz vein that steer far from the thematic or harmonic materials - this does NOT mean they have “discarded” the tune. Some of the most interesting modern compositional approaches blur these issues. Gerry Hemingway, Mary Halvorson, Tony Malaby, Mats Gustafsson, Ken Vandermark, Ingrid Laubrock, Tyshawn Sorey, May Maneri, Andrew Drury, Tim Berne and many other modern composers have developed very intriguing and viable compositions that meld improvisation and composition in ways that we sometimes “think” that the composition has went the way of the wind when maybe the connection is just a bit more subtle than we might have ears for.
Sorry dude, there's always math. They didn't ask me what I wanted, I'd have preferred fleecewear and boxer shorts.
Nevertheless, it strikes me as a crime of ignorant aggression to make bold assertions that something is or isn't something that it isn't or is. As it pertains to this thread, a lot of people hear shit that makes no sense to them and assume it's "free", when in fact it's anything but. And then get pissy about being called to distinguish between their opinion and a subjective set of facts.
I seriously doubt that most people really factually understand all the music they hear and/or all of the music they like. I know I sure as hell don't. But I do know what I do know, and it only occasionally has a bearing on whether or not I like it or not. "Like" is an emotion, "fact" is science (and to expect for a musician not to engage in science is just...evil, think about what that would truly mean, no more focus on sound or tone or time or color or anything that any of us enjoy out any of our musics). I can do both dammit, so should anybody be able to, that's part of being a rational, intelligent adult (or used to be). Let's all stop making excuses, just stop it.
I mean, everybody, musicians, fans, journalists, plumbers, dogs, waterfalls, everybody should just shut up about this notion of "free" music - there's no such thing. It's an emotional construct, and a very appealing one, but as a practice, no. It's an illusion. There is freedom, yes, absolutely, but freedom is not luck or a divine blessing or an artistic splendor or any of that bullshit. Freedom is clarity of thought, a full consideration of possibilities, and assertive choices being made on the basis thereof - and a willingness to stand behind the outcomes. People who claim that you can play wrong notes in Schoenberg and nobody can tell the difference, well, ok, maybe you can't. But there are players who can, and if they couldn't, they couldn't play it like they do. There's all the beedroppers who can play all the notes and none of the meaning, how is that any different than playing wrong notes on purpose in Schoenberg just to laugh at the dolts who supposedly can't tell a difference. People are cruel fuckers sometimes, they don't care if you know or not, they count on you not knowing, usually. There is no love in those hearts for you.
"Freedom" is now a politically charged word that i, only some of them not misanthropic, so why don't, instead of freedom we start looking at facts, options, awareness of fact-based options, and fact/option-centric decisions made. Yeah, that's a deal I make right now - take away all my "freedom", just let me have all the options I can get to, real fact-options, not imaginary word-options, and let me see what I can do with them.
One of my rules of thumb is that the real substance of a post is often the stuff in the brackets.
In a related issue, can I just stop calling anything 'free' and just go with "noise"? Or does noise have its own rules which are there for those who can hear properly?
What helps me personally in approaching so called "free" music is recognizing the structures are not conventional in regards to my basic knowledge of song form, but there is still a form, and I can listen for what it is. As for the Miles stuff the form is always there no matter how out the Lost Quintet stuff got, or late Trane there is always a semblance of structure.
It leaves those dolts right there with us dolts who can hear. Hi! C'mon in and sit a spell!
As for what you call it...
My wife, god bless her, can't handle Bach. Too busy, too distracting, etc. Well...I'm getting into that Suzana Ruzikova box, and now we have, not just Bach, but Bach on harpsichord, an instrument to whose timbre she seems to have a rather severe-ish aversion, no matter what it's playing. I've played the Lurch card, Lurch for crissakes, LURCH! But I might as well be talking to a three-legged dog with twenty five ears. Nope, she just ain't hearing that, not going to try to hear that, this is something i do on my own time, and i'm perfectly happy to have that time and to do it.
It's not that I'm unsympathetic, because jesus h. kristofferson, Bach can get really, really devious sometimes, I find myself getting disoriented and/or loopzidoopled by the time that those lines get going among themselves. And harpsichord, I wasn't sure how I would take to a whole lot of, but it's the perfect instrument for Bach, at least in these hands. Piano gives people too many places and ways to hide, but with harpsichord, hey, there it is. You think it gets relentless, there it is. You think it gets looped around itself, hey, there it is, no mercy. You think it's a little water-torture-y pingy? Sorry, there it is. Bach has nothing to hide, and harpsichord allows no hiding. A perfect match.
So when she says I can't follow that, it's too busy, it loses me almost as soon as it starts, I'm like, well, ok, I'm sure that I do believe you, but that's not Bach's fault, right?  You and me and everybody else. Because, you know, Bach ain't wrong. If a world comes where Bach is "proven" wrong, hey, that's some kind of demon drug-devil world that eats its babies and then sodomizes them once they're digested.  I hope that nobody I care about lives to be in that kind of world, because you know it's out there.
That Thigpen disc is BRILLIANT! The shorter songs don't matter, the arrangements are amazing and Clark Terry really leaps out. A fantastic album, I just wish they had done a couple more with that same lineup.
Rooster, I think you could make a good argument that Mwandishi and Crossings represent a extension of the "Evans-ish" musical ideas on Speak Like a Child and The Prisoner. Of course, by the time of the Mwandishi band, Herbie had "gone electric," so the connection isn't as obvious as it might've been.  With a few changes in instrumentation, it could have easily been on Speak Like a Child or The Prisoner.
It's no coincidence that Herbie's Mwandishi band was a sextet -- more instruments for those Evans-like textures and harmonies.
I get the feeling that there are those who would probably like to file Herbie in the "Overrated" bin, but other than his early sponsorship of Wynton Marsalis, he has nothing to be outright ashamed of, and has more than most to be quite proud of, particularly/especially , especially as accompanist, but also as soloist, composer, and bandleader.
 Not that it's been said yet, but I notice every time Herbie Hancock comes up there's a chorus of reticent sneers hanging around. It's funny.
I would never regard Herbie's music as over-rated. As a performer, he can be frustrating -- and I think I understand what people are saying about his perfectionism. His music sometimes feels dry, as if he's holding back. But, to this listener's ear, Herbie's music at its best -- and that's what we should always judge an artist by, right? -- is indelible, unique, transfixing. I love it.


ith," which is a medieval misspelling of part of an Arabic phrase meaning "over head." The point directly opposite in that part of the celestial sphere which lies under the Earth is the 'nadir," a medieval misspelling of an Arabic word meaning "op posite."
The great circle that runs around the celestial sphere, equidistant from the zenith and nadir, is the "horizon," from a Greek word meaning "boundary," because to us it seems the boundary between sky and Earth (if the Earth were perfectly level, as it is at sea). This system of locating points in the sky is therefore called the "Horizon System."
The north-south great circle traveling from horizon to horizon through the zenith is the meridian. The cast-west, and making a right angle with the meridian, is the 14 prime vertical."
A point in the sky can then be said to be so I many degrees (positive) above the horizon or so many degrees (negative) below the horizon, this being the "altitude."
Once that is determined, the exact point in the sky can be located by measuring on that altitude the number of degrees westward from the southern half of the meridian.
At least astronomers do that. Navigators and surveyors measure the number of -degrees eastward from the north end of the meridian. (In both cases the direction of meas ure is clockwise.)
The number of degrees west of the southern edge of the meridian (or east of the northern edce, depending on the system used) is the azimuth. The word is a less corrupt form of the Arabic expression from which "zenith" also comes.
If you set north as having an azimuth of O', then east has an azimuth of 90', south an azimuth of 180', and west an azimuth of 270'. Instead of boxing the compass with outlandish names you can plot direction by degrees.
And as for myseff?
Why, I have an azimuth of isaac. Naturally.
4. The Heavenly Zoo
On July 20, 1963 miles, braving the traffic congestion produced by thousands of other New Englanders with the same notion.
I decided not to (as it happened, clouds interfered with seeing, so it was just as well) and caught fugitive glimpses of an eclipse that was only 95 per cent total, from my backyard. However, the difference between a 95 per cent eclipse and a 100 per cent eclipse is the difference between a notion of water and an ocean of water, so I did not feel very overwhelmed by what I saw.
V-/batb.And it is just small enough so that during the Sun's obscuration, thee Sun, is completely visible.
The apparent size of the Sun and Moon depends upon both their actual size and their distance from us. The diameter of the Moon is 2160 miles while that of, the Sun is 864,000 miles. The ratio of the diameter of the Sun to that of the Moon is 864,000/2160 or 400. In other words, if both were at the same distance from us, the Sun would appear to be 400 times as broad as the Moon.
However, the Sun is farther away from us than the Moon is, and therefore appears smaller for its size than the Moon does. At great distances, such as -those which characterize the Moon and the Sun, doubling the distance halves the apparent diameter. Remembering that, consider that the average distance of the Moon from us is 238,000 miles while that of the Sun is 93,000,000 miles. The ratio of the distance of the Sun to that of the Moon is 93,000, 000/238,000 or 390. The Sun's apparent diameter is cut down in proportion.
In other words, the two effects just about cancel. apparent angular diameter of the Sun averages 32 minutes of arc, while that of the Moon averages 31 minutes of arc.
These are average values because both Moon and Earth possess elliptical orbits. The Moon is closer to the Earth (and therefore appears larger) at some times than at others, while the Earth is closer to the Sun (which. This variation in apparent diameter is only 3 per cent for the Sun and about 5 per cent for the Moon, so that it goes unnoticed by the casual observer.
. Indeed, if it is true, as astronomers suspect, that the Moon's distance from the Earth is gradually increasing as a result of tidal friction, then this excellent fit even here on Earth is only true of our own geologic era. The Moon was too large for an ideal total eclipse in the far past and will be too small for any total eclipse at all in the far future.
Of course, there is a price to pay for this excellent fit.
The fact that the Moon and Sun are roughly equal in ap parent diameter means that the conical shadow of the Moon comes to a vanishing point near the Earth's surface.
If the two bodies were exactly equal in apparent size the shadow would come to a pointed end exactly at the One degree equals 60 minutes, so that both Sun and Moon are about half a degree in diameter.
Earth's surface, and the eclipse would be total for only an instant of time. In other words, as the Moon covered the last sliver of Sun (and kept on moving, of course) the first sliver of Sun would begin to appear on the other side.
Under the most favorable conditions, when the Moon is as close as possible (and therefore as apparently large as possible) while the Sun is as far as possible (and there fore as apparently small as possible), the Moon's shadow comes to a point well below the Earth's surface and we pass through a measurable thickness of that shadow. In other words, after the unusually large Moon covers the last sliver of the unusually small Sun, it continues to move for a short interval of time before it ceases to overlap the Sun and allows the first sliver of it to appear at the other side. An eclipse, under the most favorable conditions, can be 71/2 minutes long.
On the other hand, if the Moon is smaller than average in appearance, and the Sun larger, the Moon's shadow will fall short of the Earth's surface altogether. The small Moon will not completely cover the larger Sun, even when both are centered in the sky. Instead, a thin ring of Sun wilt appear all around the Moon. This is an "annular eclipse" (from a Latin word for "ring"). Since the Moon's apparent diameter averages somewhat less than the Sun's, annular eclipses are a bit more likely than total eclipses.
This situation scarcely allows astronomers (and ordinary beauty-loving mortals, too) to get a good look, since not only does a total eclipse of the Sun last for only a few ,minutes, but it can be seen only over that small portion of the Earth's surface which is intersected by the narrow shadow of the Moon.
To make matters worse, we don't even get as many eclipses as we might. An eclipse of the Sun occurs whenever the Moon gets between ourselves and the Sun. But that happens at every new,Moon; in fact the Moon is "new" because it is between us and the Sun so that it is the op posite side (the one we don't see) that is sunlit, and we only get, at best, the sight of a very thin crescent sliver of light at one edge of the Moon. Well, since there are twelve new Moons each year (sometimes thirteen) we ought to see twelve eclipses of the Sun each year, and sometimes thirteen. No?
No! At most we see five eclipses of the Sun each year (all at widely separated portions of the Earth's surface, of course) and sometimes as few as two. What happens the rest of the time? Let's see.
The Earth's orbit about the Sun is all in one plane.
That is, you can draw an absolutely flat sheet through the entire orbit. The Sun itself will be located in this plane as well. (This is no coincidence. The law of gravity makes it necessary.)
If we imagine this plane of

When we think of plants, we often imagine slow or still living things that just stay there, but there are some fastest-growing plants in the world around us. Yes, while it may be true that many trees take decades to reach maturity, and to start producing fruits, we overlook the fact that many green plants grow constantly. Yes, some plants can show measurable growth with a few hours. That means if you measure them now, and then do so again in a few hours there will be an appreciable difference.
In this post, we give you the top 10 fastest growing plants that exist on planet earth. If you want to know this, then you are in the right place. Sit back, relax, and enjoy.
Top 10 Fastest-Growing Plants In The World
Bamboo is the undisputed champion of quick growth! It grows incredibly fast, and that has gained it quite a reputation with ecologists, and scientists researching sustainable, eco-friendly products. Not just is bamboo incredibly quick to grow, it is also the dominant plant species when it comes to colonizing an area.
One successfully replanted bamboo stalk will produce a shoot upwards, and a spreading root structure under the ground as well. The spreading root structure allows one rootstock to produce several shoots, within a short there is not one but many bamboo stalks, literally taking over the area, driving out competing plants. The fastest-growing bamboo has been found to grow at up to 35 inches per day! That’s champion stuff right there! Plant evolution at its finest. However, you could traditionally find bamboo that would grow 10 centimeters per day! If you actually had the patience to sit there all day, you would see the growth within 24 hours. Amazing!
Hybrid Polar Trees
2. Hybrid Poplar
The poplar is a tall, fast-growing tree in the temperate regions. This particular kind of poplar is known for producing good shade. Let us also not forget the fact that they are very quick growing trees; only taking about five years to reach harvestable height. Without a doubt, poplars are a favorite in the logging industry. The wood is also very good and has several applications in construction and industry. Hybrid poplars can grow up to ten feet a year, and is not a natural species; it was created artificially as a quick growing tree to re-grow forests that have been harvested for lumber. They also have other environmental protection roles such as hillside or sand dune stabilization.
Algae are very fast growing eukaryotes. They are water plants that have some technical similarities and differences with plants. Algae are found throughout the world and play several roles in the sustenance of the ecosystem. Sometimes they grow so rapidly that they can pose a threat to underwater life, and the size is less than ¼ of an inch. small, flowering plant is one that also grows very quickly. Every 30 hours, the species can undergo an entire life cycle. Duckweeds are a favorite food for ducks, and so as they grow and reproduce constantly they play a vital role in the ecosystem.
If duckweed was able to reproduce continuously at maximum efficiency, it is estimated that it would be able to create four Earth-sized masses of duckweed within the short span of only four months.
The Eastern Cottonwood is one of the fastest-growing woody plants in North America and the world. In prime conditions, it can grow at the rate of 10-15 feet per year, and can often do so for several years in a row. After the quick sprout phase is completed, the tree can continue to grow at a rate of 5 feet per year and can do so for another 25 years. The Eastern Cottonwood can grow to colossal heights and plays a vital role in the ecosystem.
Sequoia trees are very popular for their incredible size. But they are also very quick growing giants as well. Giant Sequoia trees can grow at the rate of about 4-6 feet per year, and they generally do this for about 10 years. Subsequently, they are able to grow at a rate of 2 feet per year for the next 30 years. Perhaps more impressive is the fact that the sequoia does not only grow upwards but also sideways as well.
One famous Giant Sequoia tree called the “General Sherman Tree,” was measured by researchers, who estimated that the tree had added three inches to its girth in a period of 40 years. The bark of a giant sequoia may be the thickest bark of any tree that man has encountered; in some specimens, it has been found that the outer layer of bark measures over two feet thick at the base.
Acacia can describe as. They are members of the pea family Fabaceae and are mostly native to Africa and Australia. They are an impressively fast-growing species; o recorded. This growth can be calculated to be about an inch per day or a little more than that.  and this is an added advantage because it permits them to have a perpetual growing season.
Wisconsin Fast Plants are a type of mustard plants grow so quickly, that they have been marketed as fast plants to landscapers and plant enthusiasts. Every five weeks, it can produce a brand new generation. Their original purpose is to make demonstrations for procedures like disease testing, which fast-growing plants make more convenient.
9. Kudzu
Kudzu is also called Japanese arrowroot or Chinese arrowrootsthat originally come from East Asia. This is an incredibly fast-growing plant that can add a whole foot a day, and under prime conditions. Kudzu can add a whole 60 feet in a single growing season! This plant is a relentless grower; it climbs over everything and is very hard to kill. As it grows, it tends to kill off other plants; strangling them, and depriving their leaves of sunshine. It is considered extremely aggressive and invasive. While it comes from Japan, it haUS, where it poses a threat to the original plants.
Eucalyptus plants are very aggressive growers, but especially this artificially developed species. These trees grow up to 30% faster than other types of natural eucalyptus and have been recorded to grow at a rate of 16 feet a year. Within just five years, some plants may even grow to more than 100 feet. At such a fearsome growth rate, some scientists say that the trees could easily overtake the planet, becoming a threat to other plants just like the invasive kudzu.

Plantlife is not restricted to the flowers, shrubs, and trees that you have in your backyard, plant life also exists underwater, and those underwater plants are always included in the classifications. Plants are vital for the continued survival of life on planet earth. These plants that grow at very quick rates have enormous potential for agriculture, for the sustenance of wildlife, and for the balance of life on our planet. So, the next time you walk past a plant, be thankful for its existence- you depend on it

"Decent school with decent academicsome teachers are very difficult and really provide a challenge which will assist in college readiness."
"I enjoyed stepping into the doors every day at Lake Catholic High School. From the head administration down to the students, I enjoyed every day. I moved to this school my senior year and from the first day I felt at home. A small nit school let you become close with almost every one of your fellow students. I suggest this school if you are looking for a great family atmosphere and a place to get ready for the future."
"if you love your children, this is the last place you'd send them. however, if you raised a self absorbed piece of white trash that lives to spend your money and disrespect you, then this is the perfect school for them. lake catholic is a literal piece of trash. it has fake walls, rich white kids that make you feel like east cleveland druggies, actual druggies and a dean of discipline that treats you like trash if you aren't a football player. did i mention he likes to peak into the women's bathroom stalls?disgraceful. i can not wait till i leave forever. peace out fake catholic."
"Lake Catholic has provided me with many great opportunities in my four years, especially through Mr. Posey and the performing arts department. A large number of the teachers care about the classes they teach, though there are several areas which could be improved."
"Lake Catholic is an exceptional school. I truly enjoyed all the activities and my classes. The administration encouraged the students to be involved in all the activities and support each other. My classes were challenging and I really feel that will help me when I attend college."

Trouble with your liquid chromatography (LC) baseline? We share some common examples of problematic baselines that we might see with some non-MS LC detectors. Baseline problems may be erratic such as those caused by an air bubble, whereas a more systematic pattern would be more likely to be a pump or piston problem. Finally, a generally bad looking baseline could be telling us it is time to clean our system.
Thanks for joining us for the latest Restek Tip. Today, I'm going to talk about troubleshooting LC baseline. There are a couple patterns that we can look at that can help us diagnose some problems.
If we start to see something that's very erratic, this could be indicative that you have an air bubble in your system and simply need to purge it with mobile phase to get back to normal.
Secondly, if you start to see something a bit more systematic, this could be a pump or piston issue, so simply by doing some routine maintenance in your laboratory, you can get your system back up and running to normal.
Lastly, if you start to see something a bit more spurious, it can be a bit more difficult to diagnose, but typically by doing a thorough system cleaning, it can get you back to normal and you get your instrument back up and running soon.


Should win: Lupita Nyong'o (12 Years a Slave)
Will win: Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Club)
Should win: Michael Fassbender (12 Years a Slave) </s> When Erica Kolat began her career in education 16 years ago, she never dreamed of taking on an administrative role.
“I saw the potential to impact more students than those within my four walls,” she said.
Kolat took over the role as superintendent Jan. 2, after the previous superintendent, Beverly Arbore, retired after 40 years as a public school educator. Kolat said she worked closely with Arbore during the three-and-a-half years sh.
Shortly after Arbore announced she was leaving, Kolat said the McGuffey school board hired her as the new superintendent through Jan. 1, 2019. The school board also hired Laura Jacob as the new assistant superintendent. Jacob has been with the district since 2006, as an English teacher, educational technology coach and assistant principal. Much like Kolat’s relationship with Arbore, Jacob said her relationship with Kolat is “very collaborative.”
“We worked togther (in the past),” she said. “We understand what the district’s needs are and what the community’s needs are. It helps in knowing where we want to go.”
Kolat said she was sad to see Arbore go, but was thankful she laid solid groundwork for which Kolat could get her footing. Kolat said the district is building on ways to expand the district’s use of technology.
“We are looking at increasing students’ access through technology, through one-on-one devices, as well as developing our own blended learning courses,”she said.
Along the way, Kolat earned a master’s degree from Point Park University in curriculum and instruction, a principalsuperintendent’s letter of eligibility from the University of Pittsburgh.
Kolat said many of the parents within the district were already familiar with her through her role as assistant superintendent. She’s hopeful that they’re happy with her in her current role.
“Besides the winter weather, things have been going very well,” she said. “I’m blessed with a supportive school board, excellent staff and parents, and I will continue to advance the district.” </s> Injured Martellus Bennett says he refused to get carted off field because it’s not what Luke Cage would do
Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett was removed from Sunday’s 33–13 win over the Browns during the team’s first drive after tweaking his right ankle while blocking for LeGarrette Blount on the goal line. But thanks to some inspiration from Luke Cage, he returned.
“They asked me if I needed a cart and I’m like, ‘S.’”

At the time, Japan’s economy was booming and disposable income was at an all-time high. With the nation’s car owners facing strict vehicle inspections, drivers concentrated on innovation over durability and frequently updated their cars.
JDM stands for Japaense Domestic Market. This is a generic term that doesn’t just apply to cars.
This allowed the 90’s market to be geared towards petrol heads with Japanese manufacturers prioritising their newly refined technologies and designs for JDM cars before considering the international market.
With this game-changing history in mind, let us take you back to the glory days as we check out our best JDM cars of the Nineties!
- Model year: 1991-2002
- Engine displacement: 1.3 litre twin-turbo
- Power output: 252-276 bhp
The RX-7 was noted for its lightweight construction and unique twin turbo-chargers. It was the first come from Japan. The compact rotary engine was housed behind the front axle, which gave the vehicle a 50/50 front and rear weight balance combined with a low centre of gravity.
The car accelerated from 0-62 mph in 5.9 seconds, achieving a top speed of 155mph. The twin rotors gave it a wealth of torque throughout the entire rev range. Its innovative construction made it easy to handle and a joy to drive.
In Britain, sales were initially slow but a price drop and word of mouth recommendations led to a surge in interest and the RX-7 becammarket m before.

The unit has a 1.77in display screen, which is small enough to sit unobtrusively on your handlebar, but the little machine still packs in more than 150 operations, including an emergency crash-notification feature.
There’s no touchscreen, so you control and access modes via four buttons on each side.
The computer can pair with compatible ebike and e-gear sensors, as well as working on non-assisted bikes, and you can set up screens manually or using the app. I’d recommend the latter.
The format is very clean and enables you to prioritise the data that’s important to you (for example, speed, distance and time) on the screen.
I’ve typically pared back the information available on-screen at any one time to ‘need-to-know’ only because I find it more pleasing to both read and use, plus switching between screens to access additional data is easy.
 For example, I have this computer set upso I can record stats easily, whichever bike I’m on that day.
I have only one gripe: the pop-ups that appear, for example when signal is lost or the ride has paused, obscure the bottom of the display.
That aside, and in keeping with the clarity of the display, the Sigma Ride app has an exceptionally good layout that makes it simple to review ride statistics. I’d go as far as to say it’s the best I’ve used.
The small machine sits unobtrusively on the bar and side-access buttons are easy to operate while on the move.
In addition, every ride generates a Sigma Performance Index (SPI) score. This is a combination of miles, metres climbed and average speed.
It gives you an at-a-glance comparison of different routes, or even the same route on different days that enables you to see quickly where you’re making performance gains.
Mapping is via routes uploaded from Komoot or OpenStreetMap (OSM) via the app. The sync with Komoot is automatic and, in my experience during testing, instantaneous.
The display shows a breadcrumb trail with direction arrows, which I’ve been happy with on the road and most gravel routes, but off-road there were times when I needed to refer to the in-app map.
Mapping and navigation details aren’t the most in-depth, but this is an excellent bike computer.
While Sigma may not be as well known as the likes of Wahoo and Garmin when it comes to the best bike computers, the ROX 11.1 Evo is an excellent unit for cyclists who want to combine a user-friendly interface with riding and training data.
While there are better options out there for mapping, for this computer’s intended use, the limited navigational functionality isn’t a deal breaker. That one negative is easily outweighed by the ROX 11.1 Evo’s small size, wide range of data and simplicity to use.

et al. [115] develop a intrinsic tactile sensing method which computes the normal vectors of the contacting surface and the shape of the object from a geometric model of the robot. This method is applied on an eight-legged pipe crawling robot in order to guarantee that there are no foot slippages, regardless of the pipe's shape. A five-axis force/torque sensor is installed at the last link of each leg and registers the forces and moments which are transmitted from the contact point with the pipe to the foot. First of all, the position of the contact point is computed from the measured force/torque and the geometric dimensions of the leg. Afterwards, the normal vector at the contact surface is found in order to model the local shape of the object's surface at the contact. Finally, a quadratic optimization strategy implements the friction cone inequality constraints corresponding to the computed normal vector in order to obtain the force distribution which guarantees the robot stability during the crawling process. (i.e., classification phase). The next two paragraphs present the two approaches which have been implemented by Spanish researchers to classify objects according to their tactile data (in particular, surface shape and stiffness) processed by neural networks.
Jimenez et al. [116] develop a method for classifying the shape of the objects grasped by a two-fingered gripper with a 16×16 tactile array of conductive rubber. The implemented method is organized into three phases: noise cancellation, tactile image preprocessing and classification bThe noise cancellation phase filters the tactile images (matrices of pressure measurements) in order to reduce their electronic noise and thus improve the results of the classification process. The image preprocessing phase computes the translation and orientation of the object in the tactile image and then transforms the image so that all the objects are placed at the center of the image with the same orientation. This transformation is necessary because neural networks are very sensitive to changes in position and orientation. The last phase of the method classifies the transformed tactile image into four different classes of local shapes (flat, edge, cylindrical and spherical surfaces) by applying a LVQ neural network. This information about the shape of the object is finally analyzed by the robot controller to choose the most suitable manipulation strategy for the object.
Pedreno-Molina et al. [117,118] present a neural estimator of the stiffness of an object which should be grasped by a robot with a predefined force threshold. It is composed of three neural models: a displacement neural estimator, a motor command generator and a robotic joint controller. The first model is based on a neural network organized as a two-dimensional topographic map which relates increments in joint position displacement to the force applied on the contact. During the training phase, several objects with different stiffness come into contact with the robot in order to fill this two dimensional map with pairs of joint displacements and forces. Thereby, when a new object contacts the robot, the neural network interpolates the joint displacement required to apply the desired contact force from the learned curves whose coordinates where stored in the topographic map. The second neural model is based on a VAM (Vector Associate Map) which relates the joint position obtained by the first model to the corresponding muscles tensions which are required to control the robotic finger joint. The third model receives as inputs the previous tensions and generates the final commands for positioning the robotic finger. In this way, the neural architecture adapts the joint angles of the robot to the stiffness of the object in order to apply the desired contact force.
4.2. Tactile Sensing for Manipulation Control et al. [119] implement a force-pressure control law which is applied on a robotic manipulator (UJI Service Robot) in order to grasp a book from a bookshelf. The manipulator has a force/torque sensor installed at its wrist and a Barrett hand with three fingertip pressure sensing arrays at its end-effector. The control law has two loops: a force loop and a pressure loop. The force loop verifies that the force applied on the book and registered by the force/torque sensor is enough to extract the book from the bookshelf. The pressure loop is dependent on the force loop and verifies that the pressure over the book's surface is not too high. When the applied force is not high enough, the force loop will increase the force until the pressure loop detects a high pressure value. Then, the fingertip is moved so that the contact surface between it and the book is increased. After the contact surface is increased, the applied force can be also increased without any risk of book or tactile sensor damage due to high pressure values. When the force applied by the fingers of the robot hand matches the desired value, the fingertip will move backwards in order to turn the book around its base without slippage risks. Thereby, the book can be extracted from the bookshelf.
Rodriguez-Cheu et al. [120,121] develop a control strategy which detects important grasping events for controlling the manipulation tasks performed by a prosthetic hand. The prosthesis is equipped with static and dynamic tactile sensors in the index finger and thumb. In particular, two FSRs (Force Sensing Resistors) cells are installed on the inner part of each finger, an accelerometer is installed on the outer part of the fingertips and a piezoelectric sensor is installed in the lateral part of each finger. The FSRs sensors measure the tactile pressure which is applying each finger on the grasped object, the accelerometers detect vibrations in the metallic structure of the finger and the piezoelectric sensors detect vibrations in the covered latex of the prosthesis. The measurements of the dynamic sensors (accelerometers and piezoelectric sensors) are combined by a binary function that detects sliding. This sliding detection function from the dynamic sensors, the tactile pressure measured by the FSRs and the grasping forces which are obtained as proportional values of the fingers actuators current are used as inputs to the control algorithm together with the EMG user signals. This control algorithm adapts the grasping operation ordered by the user through the EMG signals depending on the sensor signals (tactile pressure, grasping force and slipping detection). In addition, the control algorithm generates a suitable electro-stimulation signal which informs the user about the grasping process. This feedback allows the user to take part in the whole process of the grasping and improves the flexibility and controllability of the prosthetic hand.
Maldonado-Lopez et al. [122] have also developed an integrated tactile system which detects slipping in dexterous manipulation tasks. This system is composed by three main components: a 16 × 16 array of piezoresistive tactels, a signal conditioning circuit and a FPGA. The sensor array changes the resistance of their components according to the pressure applied to them. The signal conditioning circuit transforms the output of the sensors into a digital signal which can be processed by the FPGA. Finally, the FPGA implements an algorithm which detects slipping from the number of pulses of the digital signal within a specific time interval. If the FPGA detects slipping, it sends an alarm to the controller PC so that the manipulation task can be changed accordingly. The implementation of this slipping detection algorithm in a FPGA implies an improvement in the efficiency of the overall real-time manipulation system.
Table 4 summarizes the tactile control strategie4. In the next section about multi-sensor control, other tactile control strategies which are combined with vision and force are described in detail.
5. Multi-Sensor Control, Figure 10 shows a manipulation task performed by a robotic manipulator with a Barrett hand which requires the combination of multiple sensory data: visual information (images) from an eye-in-hand camera, force information (force/torque vector) from a wrist force/torque sensor and tactile information (normal pressure distribution) from a tactile array. The following sections describe the main control techniquin order to solve this multi-sensor combination. In particular, Section 5.1 presents the multi-sensor control systems only based on visual and force control and Section 5.2 presents the multi-sensor control system which combine the three types of sensors.
5.1. Visual-Force Control.
5.1.1. Visual/force impedance control
The scheme of the visual/force impedance controlled is derived from the scheme of the general impedance control depicted in Figure 11. The measured force is used to obtain a velocity that modifies the velocity obtained by the visual servoing system. This velocity is then the input to the joints controller in an indirect control strategy.
Using impedance control to combine visual and force data for the interaction phase, and a general control that weights each of the sensory control, Pomares et al. describe in [72] a multi-sensor controller to perform a peg-in-

Dust and dirt along with residues from lotion, wipes, soaps, and cleaning sprays can build up on furnishings and flat surfaces, causing them to wear out and fade. It can impact floors, couches, carpets, tables, and shelves. This is why routine cleaning should always be a priority. Cleaning and conditioning these items will keep them looking new and prolong their lifespan. Jall cleaning products and make sure they are safe to use on your items.
Replacing carpets and hardwood flooring is so expensive, but replacing an area rug is much more affordable. Strategically placing rugs in areas of high traffic and sun exposure can help protect the flooring from fading and deterioration. Rugs are easy to rotate if part of it begins to fade or wear out. And once the rug has outlived its usefulness, it is easy to swap for something fresh and new without undergoing a complete renovation.
Window treatments are another simple solution to stop photodegradade curtains, shades, and blindsmaterials, colors, designs, and textures. It is easy to find a window treatment that matches the aesthetics of your home while also giving you the ability to block or redirect the sunlight entering your home.
Taking window treatments one step further, another great way to limit the UV rays reaching your furnishings is with window shutters. These are a permanent installation that will boost the value of your home. They also bring a level of elegance and sophistication with their classic style. Best of all, high-quality window shutters will not fade, warp, or degrade from sun exposure. They can help you protect your home and furnishings for years to come without needing to be replaced.
Are your windows worn out, leaky, and dilapidated from too much sun exposure? If so, they are probably doing very little to protect your carpets. If it is time to get replacement windows, then you can upgrade to products with improved glazing technologies. Manufacturers can install special coatings on the glass that will block harmful UV rays will allowing visible light to still filter through. The technology is great for reducing unwanted solar heat gains, but will also help protect the furnishings inside your home.

What is your earliest experience as an entrepreneur?
I started my first business at the age of six. I talked my father into letting me use two acres to grow strawberries and cucumbers. The first year I planted, grew and picked the berries and cucumbers myself along with my brother. I’d go to Toronto with my Dad where he worked and sell strawberries to his co-workers and by going door-to-door around East York. I sold the cucumbers to Bick’s and Will’s Pickles in the Holland Marsh to be processed for relishes.
At the end of the summer, I was able to purchase an amazing bike. The next year, I hired my friends to help. I paid them in cash, ice cream, and the use of my amazing bike. By the end of the second year, I achieved my goal of buying my first motocross motorcycle. I think this experience, as a youngster is when I caught the entrepreneurial bug.

me audition?. And together, the dialect coach, eOK, I need the - a version of that speech that you're happy with, deliver it to my house at 9 a.m.
So I had - you know,id take Take 28. And I instructed my assistant - I said, put Take 28 on a CD, deliver it to Mr. Spielberg's house. I meet up with Steven at lunchtime at the Milky Way, which was his mother's kosher restaurant on Pico, and he sits me down. And he says, Listen, Sacha, I've got to be honest. I got the CD. Thank you. The first 10 or so takes were not very good at all. And I realized my assistant had given the wrong CDen. He's up for three Golden Globe nominations BEASTIE BOYS' "GROOVE HOLMES"acha Baron Cohen. He'r his new "Borat" sequel, best supporting actor in "The Trial Of The Chicago 7" and he's nominated for producing the "Borat" film. The awards ceremony is Sunday, and "Borat" is streaming on Amazon. "The Trial Of The Chicago 7" is on Netflix.
GROSS: So I want to talk about the premise of the film. Let's start with a clip. The movie opens - I should explain. Borat is a journalist from Kazakhstan who, in the past, has made trips to the U.S. and misinterpreted everything he hears. And as I mentioned earlier, he's a total anti-Semite. He thinks women are there to serve men. He believes in a lot of conspiracy theories. So when the film opens, he's actually on a chain gang in Kazakhstan, being punished for ruining Kazakhstan's reputation in the U.S. And I'm going to pick it up with some of your opening narration from the beginning of the film.

BARON COHEN: (As Borat) Wah-wah-wee-wah (ph). I was sentenced for life to hard labor in gulag. But 14 year later, man from government bring me to presidential palace.
BARON COHEN: (As Borat) Premier Nazarbayev.
BARON COHEN: OK, so Premier Nazarbayev, our version of Premier Nazarbayev - obviously, our whole Kazakhstan is completely mythical. But Premier Nazarbayev wants to get into the club of authoritarian leaders that Trump has set up. And, you know, that came about because obviously, Trump became friendly with a bunch of these dictators around the world. Premier Nazarbayev wants to get into it. He tells Borat that the way to get into that is to give a bribe to Vice President Pence. That bribe is - there's someone called Johnny the Monkey, who's their minister of culture. And when Borat gets to America, he finds out that the monkey is dead. And in the crate with the monkey is his 15-year old daughter.
BARON COHEN: He cannot be left alone in a room with a woman. And it's after seeing - he doesn't know what to give as a gift. And he sees a shot of Epstein and Trump on the TV and realizes that the Trump government love young girls. And he's there with a 15-year

Platelet-rich plasma – A Category III code (0232T), introduced in July 2010 for the administration of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), is listed as a new Category III code in 2011. To coincide with the introduction of the new code, CPT added related guideline instructions.
The patient should be aware of and compliant with the following guidelines:
No corticosteroids for 2 to 3 weeks before the procedure.
Discontinue nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Although no formal recommendations have been made in this area, our practice suggests that the patient discontinue taking NSAIDs a minimum of 1 week before the procedure.
No anticoagulation use 5 days before the procedure.
Increase fluid intake in the 24 hours preceding the procedure.
Anti-anxiety medication may be required for certain patients.
AAOS Site Santos F. Martinez, MD, is affiliated with the Campbell Clinic. He can be reached at sfmartinez@campbellclinic.com
The following conditions should be considered as contraindications for PRP injection: hematologic blood dyscrasias with platelet dysfunction; septicemia or fever; cutaneous infections in the area to be injected; anemia (hemoglobin less than 10 deciliters; malignancy, particularly with hematologic or bony involvement; allergy to bovine products if bovine thrombus is to be used.
The procedure is simple. With sterile technique, obtain appropriate amount of venous blood and transfer it to the centrifuge. After processing is completed, extract the PRP from the centrifuge according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Cleanse the patient’s skin around the injection site; if desired, use towels or drapes to create an aseptic field. Administer a local anesthetic if necessary. With real-time image guidance (computed tomography, fluoroscopy, or ultrasound) and sterile technique, inject the PRP into the appropriate area; apply dressing or bandage to protect needle entry site.
Check out this in depth sample surgical protocol for prp injection treatment provided by Crane Clinic Sports Medicine(Missouri).
Reported adverse effects are not different from those of normal venipuncture or injections at the same body locations. PRP injections, however, are frequently more painful than other injections due to the viscosity of the solution.

Invictus Games Orlando 2016: 8 May Highlights
© Roger Keller | Help for Heroes
UK team archers will go into Monday's final with the knowledge that they are guaranteed four medals and have a chance of four more after a phenomenal display of skill at Sunday's qualifiers and semi-finals.
Chris Macfadyen, archery team captain, commented: "I'm absolutely on cloud nine. I'm on top of the world. I made it into the individual gold medal match and to make it into the team medal match too is a wicked way to finish the afternoon. I couldn't be any prouder of the team. It's just brilliant."
Sgt Gareth Paterson, team captain of static sports, said: "I'm ecstatic, emotional and raring to go. I really am over the moon. My wife is a world-class sprint kayaker; she's not here because she's competing at the world championships. She already has a silver medal on the mantelpiece. This is me trying to reclaim my masculinity back! There'll be another medal on the mantelpiece next week."
Track and field athletes were vying for their place in the Athletics final when they took to the stadium on Sunday morning in the Florida heat. With a large crowd in the stands waving the flags of their nation, the day started with the men's and women's 100m sprints, with impressive performances coming from UK athletes Francis Nduka, James McGill and Lucinda Allaway. In a show of the typical military banter, Marine Sam Stocks, who has a kidney condition called IGA Nephropathy, made sure to tap teammate Luke Wigman on the shoulder as he passed him on the home straight of the 1500metres. They were joined in qualifying by James Tattingham, a former Captain in the Army.
Rob Cromey-Hawke, Captain of dynamic sports (Athletics, Swimming, Wheelchair Tennis and Cycling), competed in the 200metre wheelchair race. Speaking afterwards, he said: "Today at the Athletics was amazing. The stadium is fantastic and to have our family and friends arrive in time to see us perform was extra special. The spirit amongst all of the athletes is brilliant and going around the track, you could hear everyone cheering you on and that is an amazing feeling. It gives you an extra burst. Taking part in the Invictus Games brings you back into the military family with its competitive spirit, camaraderie and banter. London 2014 set the bar high but it is being raised in Orlando."
The UK's heavyweight powerlifters took to the floor to compete in the qualification rounds ahead of Monday's finals.
In the men's heavyweights, the UK team will make up half of the final eight. The weights being lifted are far bigger than those at the previous Invictus Games, with the men really challenging each other.
The day culminated in a spectacular opening ceremony, with performances from Laura Wright; the Invictus Choir, led by Gareth Malone; the US Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon, James Blunt; and inspirational words from Prince Harry; the First Lady Michelle Obama; and Morgan Freeman who introduced live accounts of recovery journeys from wounded comrades. Stories highlighted that wounds for many are not only physical, but can be hidden in the mind.
A final performance of the Invictus song and accompanying fireworks declared the 2016 Invictus Games in Orlando officially open.
