Garcia chased early; Blue Jays drop 4th straight
DETROIT -- Jaime Garcia appeared to figure some things out during his last start against the Phillies, but it was back to square one when he returned to an American League ballpark.
Garcia was hit hard, early and often, in a 5-2 loss to the Tigers on Friday night at Comerica Park. He allowed seven hits over 1 2/3 innings in what became the shortest outing by a Blue Jays starter this season.
The veteran lefty has been struggling all year, but there was a hope that one run over seven innings vs. Philadelphia would allow him to build some momentum. It didn't. Instead, Garcia saw his ERA rise to 6.08 with a record that sits at 2-4 through 10 starts.

Toronto was hoping to turn the page on a disappointing May, which saw the Blue Jays post a .321 winning percentage (9-19). That was the third-lowest in the Majors, trailing only the D-backs (.296) and the White Sox (.296), and Toronto did not win consecutive games at any point during that month. The Blue Jays' losing streak now sits at four games, and the club has lost 14 of its past 18 games.
"We had some opportunities late, but other than that they held us in check," Gibbons said. "Tough start for Garcia, no doubt about it. The bullpen came in and did a good job. Gave us a chance."
Hernandez finished 3-for-5, which included his fourth triple of the season. Happ (7-3, 3.84 E Tiger:10 p.m. ET. Happ has struck out at least eight in seven starts Majors. He leads the Blue Jays with six quality starts, and he last time out. Detroit will counter with left-hander and former Blue Jay Matthew Boyd (3-4, 3.00 ERA).

While democrats stand behind Planned Parenthood, republicans are firmly against it. From a republican point of view it is wrong to have the government funding something that supports,…show more content…
To the democrats, cutting funding is about much more than just abortionsto many people, many families. In the year 2014 20.2 million women in the USke Planned Parenthood(Debra Goldschmidt, Ashley Strickland). According toIt also participates in many research projects to further their knowledge. If Planned Parenthood centers are defunded, there is no way of knowing that other health care providers will be able to serve their patients . While republicans focus on the abortion aspect of Planned Parenthood, statistics show that Abortions make up only 3 % of what Planned Parenthood is about (Michelle Ye Hee Lee). In the Planned Parenthood annual report of 2013 it showed that 42% of their services were for STI/STD testing and treatment. Another 34 % was for contraception. 9% went to cancer screenings and interventions, 11% went to other women's health services, and 1% went to other services in general.ion during this period (Michelle Ye Hee Lee) . So statistically abortion makes up for the second smallest service that Planned Parenthood accounted for.
To focus on the Republican view, most people

Wouldn’t you like to have you, your family members, your friends, etc. to be able to have this opportunity. That’s why we fund Planned Parenthood. There are many risks we would be taking if we decided to shut down Planned Parenthood. Unhealthy abortions, teen pregnancy, infant mortality rates, and more could sky rocket. Without

Many of you in this room may not believe in abortion; however, Planned Parenthood provides thousands of women with care, from access to birth control, to STD testing, Planned Parenthood increases the sexual safety of women across the country.

Mayville, NY—Reed wins his second debate against DC John Plumb. "Our positions and records clearly demonstrate that we are fighting for fair treatment of our families and we care about our communities," said Tom Reed. "This place will always be home and I am proud to fight for policies which put New York, not Washington first."
DC John doubled down on his failure to support our gun rights. "Plumb called the NRA's efforts to inform voters about gun rights 'silly'," said Amy Hasenberg Tom Reed for Congress Spokeswoman. "Tom cares about protecting all of our rights and has stood up for our rights time and time again. Tom won this debate because of his clear dedication to our communities' values. He listens to his Southern Tier and Finger Lakes neighbors and takes their voice to Washington."

How does one begin helping those who have lost everything after a disaster?
"God showers us with mercy every day," she said. "There is no one who is not worthy of help."
"I don't know how many (parish) families have been displaced," Father Kinney said. "We did a quick list of 60 families. I'm sure that's a low estimate."
"They have no place to go back to," he said. "Hotels and motels are short-term. FEMA is on the ground now. But the long term is going to be very difficult."
That realization is beginning to set in and "I've seen a lot of tears," he said. "Everybody needs time to cry and needs prayers and hugs. Thankfully, people are responding with great generosity. I'm overwhelmed by the disaster, but I'm also overwhelmed by the generosity of people."
"I wanted to do something," said Ruedas, who speaks Spanish. "Our family is blessed; we wanted to give something back."
She volunteered to "cheer people up and to pray the rosary."
"Instinct," he replied when asked why he volunteered. "How could you not?"
"We can call on contingents to help rebuild," Youngblood said. "But we'll need money for materials. We'll try to get the fundraising going."

Life is a journey. I look around me and see so many pain and suffering. But, so few understand, what is really going on in their lives. My family and I are fighting the good fight of faith. This fight forces you to leave all behind and to follow the King - no matter how painful it is. The other option is to continue running after your fleshly worldly dreams – to bring you comfort and status. I know exactly how it feels when all your dreams are shattered and when all you have left is to pick up the broken pieces of your life. You look at the pieces of these shattered dreams in your hand, and you have a choice. You can try to fix it and do all you can with your own sword(your tong) and your own abilities. Or you can surrender it all to Yeshua.her’s But, as we lay these down, He replaces them with His dreams of love and peace for you.

The heart of the believer is Yeshua’s And how many areas belong to you? You have to get of your throne and allow Him to take control over all the areas of your life.say “there is no harm in this or that?” – This is a constant pull to get us as close as possible to the world and it’s ways. I see how I myself have to fight to keep my heart closed and not opened to my flesh. That is a price that we need to pay in order to have our hearts set apart for Yeshua.
Your garden is a place of beauty; it far surpasses wild uncultivated lands. Yeshua’s garden produces the best flowers, with the loveliest fragrance – all because of the time and pruning that went into each flower. I have seen that after the most painful pruning season the rarest, richest, white lilies and roses bloom in the place which Yeshua now calls His own – that which is no longer shared with the world.
 With Him as the gardener, you will not stay undeveloped, but will always bear buds and blossoms. We grow in grace, in love and knowledge of YHVH. Your garden is a place of rest and peace. It is the place where Yeshua can manifest Himself. So often wework. And then like Mary, we have no room for Christ. It is at His feet, where He grants us the sweet showers of His love watering His garden daily.
So many people ask me ”g?” Did you really? ? ?  I  How badly do you want this love relationship? hua’se “’t neer.” “Yes Aldo, I know.” But deep in my heart I thought: “I wonder if he really realizes the cost of a wedding?” I “e’s wedding for them.” !!
“Please don’t mom!”“Josh, that is a lot of money. Let’s pray about it and see what Abba says.” He went on his knees and prayed. “Yeve it!

Being a mermaid on land might have people asking you if you need a glass of water, and some other interesting questions. That's all right, just kindly explain to them that you DO have lungs like an ordinary person, and while you like to drink water, it's not like you have gills or something. These types of things can happen to mer-people, and the best strategy is to be nice and informative to curious land-folk. When you wear this Teal Mermaid Long Tail Skirt, you should be ready to party, but also partake in some interesting and meaningful conversations about life on land versus beneath the sea...

I know I have to be just missing this… New user firing up the BeatBuddy Manager for the first time. What I am trying to do is basically “copy” some settings into my own “folder” or setlist so that I can easily scroll them, and I don’t seem to be able to copy/paste any of the default songs and move/rename them into my new folder.
For example - I want to take “Punk1” from the Punk folder, copy the song to my folder at 165 BPM and beat 2 and use it for “All The Small Things” by Blink 182 - And then name it “All The Small Things” in my own folder for easy access to those specific settings.
Copy/paste/move songs from one folder doesn’t work. You can copy and paste parts of a song from one song to a song in another folder but that’s about it. These are capabilities that should eventually be available when the new version of the BeatBuddy Manager (BBM) is released.
In the meantime, you will have to export a song using the BBM to your desktop and then import it to your new folder.
Um, I just used BB Manager to rearrange the directories on my BB Project file. I have my most common tunes and directories at the “top” of the hierarchy. That should take care of the “songs in order” problem. I think you just click and drag the particular songs in the directory structure on the left-hand side, save the project, then reload project to the BB SD card.


It happened that my husband and I were the only ones on this self-guided itinerary. We were able to follow the provided maps and GPS tracks with the occasional assistance of Google maps. The lodgings were excellent, likely nicer than we would have selected on our own, and the provided breakfasts ranged from adequate to amazing. I should not have been surprised about the hills, after all, castles were built on hills, but I have never spent so much time in first gear. I was glad not to have my kids along on this trip because the cycling was sometimes difficult, and we had to ride with traffic sometimes. Other times were on eco-trails and quiet country roads, so it wasn't constant traffic stress, but there was some riding with cars each day. There was also frequent riding on cobblestone and bumpy village streets, could be tough on tender joints. The provided bicycles were not fancy, but they got the job done, and once we got into the rhythm of when people eat in Portugal it wasn't hard to plan for coffee breaks and lunch. It happened to be quite hot the week we rode, and the sun is intense without much shade for breaks. Overall the support and logistics were well done, and I would recommend this itinerary for someone in fairly good shape who is interested in wine, neolithic sites, castles, and spending time in rural Portugal. It was a shock taking the bus back to Lisbon at the end.


(There are more parts coming in)
Her voice was quivery again.
She walloped her personality back into reality though. She was Minakshi, she, she was a woman and a proud woman. Fighting back a cascade of sweat, she delicately balled her fists, then felt her forearms and triceps tensing as she stared him square in the face, torso pushing up and down quite firmly for an instant, then more gently, more calmly as the wave of air exited her body.
“Brahmarajan, I won’t ask you again.”
“Nothing to say? Well let’s get to bed. I have nothing to do with anyone else around here. Come woman; let’s speak no more of this.”
Her shields of pride warned her to keep her mouth firmly shut.
Sivapalan spent the night with her, for obvious reasons.
However, she couldn’t sleep. No matter how much she tried to sink back into her pillow something always set her off, sent her into alert mode.
“Chandra…” she breathed dreamily. “How’s that for a name? Chandravati? Chandrani? I hope it’s a daughter, really…” Minakshi felt like rising up with the moonbeam, like the gods were caressing her softly, showering blessings into her frail, mortal body with every touch and kiss. Suddenly she felt an orgasm tearing through her once more, making her reach for the pillow by her side.
She locked her eyes shut as she cradled the large pillow, pushing it fiercely against her breasts, suddenly startling her son. “Mother!” he shouted as she trembled furiously with a mix of rage and sadness churning about inside her.
Instead Minakshi just stroked the face of her fragile-looking statue she had placed on her little private altar on their garden shrine, a very beautiful young man with slightly feminine features and an angelic smile on his small whitish-blue marble face. That smile seemed to touch her heart in a strange way, speaking to a small part of her that still had an ancient yearning for the northern capital of Pataliputra now more than anything else. The voice of prayers, hopes and dreams being carried on the currents of the Ganges.
Exotic items from the men from the Vengi region in the east, and from the Afghan and Persian deserts in the west, caravans being carried across to the Pala trading cities filled her mind. It was the old calling that made every northern heart ring in that unexplained way and to yearn for homes and loves long since lost.
Avalokitesvara smiled lifelessly back at her, small, delicate hands raised in an endearing abhaya mudra, telling her to be courageous, but unable to do much more.
There was nothing more this gentle deity could do after all, but as she recited her mantras, she felt the superhuman crying for her as his arms shifted in a cosmic dance atop his white lotus.
4 thoughts on “NOVELLA”
I think Minakshi is a very brave woman. She has probably endured her drunkard husband for many days with her silent courage. The way she keeps thinking of a name for her unborn son and praying to the deity really shows her hope for better things ahead. The way you compare her hopes to a “silver shaft of moonlight” and her heart wrenching sadness to the “terrible silken nooses” is noteworthy… I’m still amazed by the way you effortlessly weave historical details into your stories… By the way, some pronouns need to be altered.
“”- Beautiful sentence!
Well she's a stubborn woman, as in strong and stubborn, plus the thing is, she wanted her second child to be a girl but ended up being Chandrasegaran, a boy.
Ah! Interesting! And I assume that B’rajan is a Hindu.
He is. The Chola Empire is a Tamil, Saivite state


"In years past, customer adoption in the voice market was slow, as in PACS," said Michael Mardini, president of Talk Technology in Bensalem, PA. "This year and next will be coming-out years for speech recognition. Customers calling us now aren't looking just for a demo; they want to talk about technical aspects and implementation."
"Dictate, edit, and sign anywhere-that's where companies like ours are going," he said. "At RSNA we will show how radiologists will be able to use handhelds to open, edit, and sign reports. We're making our entire suite of applications more useful to clinicians, and providing better, more efficient ways to generate reports and get easy access to information."
"We're seeing doctors who want to use their handheld devices for dictation," Maners said. "Because of increased processor power, availability of communications bandwidth, and wireless networking, physicians can dictate into their iPAQs, send the audio file to the dictation server where it will be processed by the speech recognition engine, and then receive the text file via wireless e-mail."
"I think that voice technologies will ride our back into the marketplace," Donohoe said. "Our strategy is not so much to sell speech recognition products commercially, but to use them behind the scenes."
"We have lost very few customers during the last year, though some did delay purchasing while waiting for our situation to be resolved," he said. "We are pursuing growth. The labor cost alone in transcription is $6 billion to $10 billion per year, and speech recognition takes direct aim at that cost and at bringing productivity to healthcare."
"We believe that the Dictaphone brand name, history, and understanding of physicians and workflow put us in a prime position to attack the broader marketplace," Fallati said. "If we really want to take the benefits of speech recognition to a wider audience, we have to move out of the departments."

Metabolic Cooking Options
Posted on August 27, 2017 by wildwon
For instance, it is known that metabolism tends to slow down as we age. This is why most people tend to get bigger as they grow older. The people you knew from school will look quite different in adulthood. Some might be slimmer but many will be going the opposite route. It is simply harder to burn calories as we age so it is all the more necessary for us to do things that will help things alongtend to be more sedentary in an old age given our work and our general lifestyle.
The overall size of a person is also a factor in how fast metabolism works. Particularly, this has a big effect on BMR or Basal Metabolic Rate. This is a number of calories burned by the body in a total sedentary state. It is equivalent to the energy required to keep our various organs functioning to stay alive. This includes respiration, digestion, and so forth. Larger people have correspondingly larger internal organs. They also have a wider skin surface to maintain. Fluid volume is higher. The body needs to work harder to meet the requirements of each element.
Another thing that influences this process is muscle mass. Muscle requires a great deal more energy to maintain than fat. Two people may have the same size or weight but they might have very different metabolisms based on the division of muscle and fat. They will also look very different. This is one of the reasons why BMI is not the end all and be all of the ideal weight. You also need to look into the percentage of fat. Someone with 20% fat will be fitter than a person with 50% fat. The former will have much more muscles which help to burn more calories per unit time.
We should also consider the gender of the person. Comparative studies suggest that males are much more likely to have a higher basal metabolic rate compared to females. In other words, it is generally easier for men to burn calories than women. Note that these are averages and that there are plenty of people who can stand as the exception. Genetics is another thing that needs to be looked into. You don’t have to be tested in the lab for this. Your family will provide the clues. If these are obese, then you also have a high tendency to follow in their footsteps unless you do something about it.
Sometimes the issue lies in the hormones. If there is an imbalance, then the rate may speed up or slow down. Examples include people who are dealing with hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. Those affected can have an extremely difficult time coping. Many experience sudden weight change which is hard to reverse despite their diet and activity. Fortunately, there are ways of controlling it. If you have trouble keeping your weight down, then have your hormone levels checked at a medical clinic

Q: Hubble Parameter as a function of the scale factor in Lambda CDM Model Basically I am trying to plot $H/H_0$ versus $a(t)$ for the Lambda CDM Model. In a paper I am referring to $H/H_0$ decreases with increasing $a(t)$ until a point ($a[t]\sim 0.7$) and then it starts increasing again until today ($a[t]=1$).
When I try doing the same plot using Wikipedia's page on the Lambda CDM Model:
A: Below I plot the quantities $H$, $\mathcal{H} = aH$ and $q$
Note that around $z \approx 0.7$ the sign of $q$ changes, meaning that at this redshift the universe starts to accelerate

An ACRPS conference on the future prospects for the Gulf Cooperation Council provided a venue for remarkably frank, forthright deliberations by a number of Gulf scholars, many of them citizens of the GCC countries. The Third this yearned on Saturday, December 06, 2014 in Doha, Qatar, with an early morning panel of scholars and policy-makers and culminated with an official opening ceremony in the early evening that was attended by Qatari dignitaries, including His Highness Sheikh Abdullah Bin Hamad Al Thani, Deputy Emir of Qatar; of Qatar; and His Excellency Abdul Rahman Bin Hamad Al Attiyah, a leading Qatari statesman an
Following introductory remarks by ACRPS Researcher and head of the Policy Analysis Unit, Dr. Marwan Kabalan, the first speaker to address the meeting was former Bahraini minister of state Ali Fakhro. Fakhro set the tone for discussions throughout the rest of the day, both with his willingness to tackle questions head-on and with his focus on the “demographic challenges” facing countries of the GCC. Fakhro used data to illustrate the remarkable tidal changes sweeping over the populations of the Gulf states: during the 1970s, according to Fakhro, migrants from non-Gulf Arab countries accounted for 72% of the expatriate population of what would become the GCC. Today, in contrast, that figure stands at only 32%. Fakhro described the demographic shifts that took place as representative of an existential threat facing the region: “the very existence of Arab populations in the Gulf” was under threat, he said. The Bahraini statesman also pointed a finger of blame squarely at what he called the laissez-affairs economic policies of the leadership of the Gulf countries, which he claimed treated their own countries “like labor camps …private enterprises” instead of as nation-states. The end result was that a minority of the populations of the Gulf states were native Arabic speakers. One remedy which the former Bahraini minister promulgated from the panel was to proportionately increase reliance on migrants from Arab countries, some of whom, he said, should eventually become naturalized citizens. This same point would later lead to heated discussions from the floor during the question and answer session, with some questioning the relationship between “ethnicity” and the ability of Gulf states to absorb, integrate and naturalize migrants from outside of the Gulf.
Speakers during the first session, from left to right: Asmaa Abdullah Al Attiyah; Ashraf Osman; Baqer Al Najjar, Bahrain University (Chair); Ali Fakhro; Fatima Al Sayegh.

I am so grateful that we traveled in our 50's and 60's because we don't now. However, I do have widow friends who will travel with me.
Just join some clubs (volunteer groups are great) and you will find people to travel with.

Rain & Rice

It’’’t.
I had been antsy the past few weeks. I hadn’t been getting out much, I hadn’t been photographing much, and I hadn’t birded at all. So despite those ominous clouds on Saturday morning, Melanie and I headed out to Gwangjuho Lake Ecological Park, hoping a change in scenery might do us some good.
Azure-winged Magpie (Cyanopica cyanus koreensis)

There was more evidence of successful breeding throughout the park. We saw several small groups of juvenile Japanese tits flitting about in the trees. Near the entrance to the park were two juvenile grey-headed woodpeckers, the likely offspring of the Eco-Park’s resident pair. These younger woodpeckers lacked most of the adults’ green coloration, appearing overall grey with a hint of green on the tail feathers. The two juveniles kept in constant contact with each other and the adults by making short whistles.
Juvenile Grey-headed Woodpecker (Picus canus jessoensis)
Gwangjuho Lake itself was a shadow of itself. The water level was down tens of meters, with an exposed lake bed stretching off into the distance. Most of this muddy, nutrient-rich land had transformed into a field of low vegetation. Gwangjuho Lake is artificial, serving as a primary reservoir for the surrounding area. The water is used for drinking and agriculture, and its low level reflects the planting of the first round of rice for the growing season.
Little Ringed Plover (Charadrius dubius curonicus)
Dusky Lilysquatter (Paracercion calamorum)
Eastern Lilysquatter (Paracercion melanotum)
We completed our loop around the Eco-Park, scoring a few more species for our efforts. Black-naped orioles were singing lazily in the humid air. A family of bull-headed shrikes chased one another around, and juvenile pale thrushes begged for food from a single adult bird. We took a break from the heat near a grove of metasequoia trees, lounging in the shade as the heat of the day wore on.

Dryad (Minois dryas)
Butterfly Skimmer (Rhyothemis fuliginosa)
Ceriagrion melanurum
After spending several hours at the Eco-Park, Melanie and I decided to visit one of the small restaurants across the street from the Park entrance. We had discovered a small place during our last visit, which makes an excellent pajeon (파전). Pajeon is a type of pancake, whose main ingredient is green onions. A good pajeon will have grilled onions, green onions, maybe some peppers, and usually a type of seafood like calamari. For a mere 8,000W (~$8), we got a huge pajeon and several side dishes (as is Korean custom).

My field guide calls it the Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis). Some words of advice for beginners: don’t ever fall for the misnomer of “common.” A lot of birds with the word common in their names are anything but. There are three species of kingfisher that can be found on the Korean peninsula, not including vagrants. Despite living in a city with two rivers, and visiting other rivers, reservoirs, and lakes, all across the southern portion of South Korea, I had been unable to find any of these so-called common kingfishers. Belted kingfishers (Megaceryle alcyon), the widespread kingfisher of North America, can be found almost anywhere there is water, including even drainage ditches. So it’s understandable why a bird called the “common” kingfisher quickly got on my Nemesis List for being so completely un-common.
Melanie had a Hiking Club outing with her school on Friday. She took the kids to Damyang, just outside of Gwangju, and they walked along the Yeongsan River bike trail. She came home and mentioned seeing a strange heron, which she described as being similar to a black-crowned night-heron, but darker. She’ll be the first to admit that her ID skills are not as honed as my own, but while she may not be able to identify a species just by its song, she definitely knows what she’s seen and what she hasn’t. So Saturday morning we took a trip to Damyang, to retrace her steps and see if we could relocate this mysterious heron.

A Striated Heron (Butorides striata amurensis)
After the spectacular photo session with the striated heron, we had some lunch before continuing our hike. While eating, I saw and heard several other species, including a cattle egret, a Japanese bush-warbler, a pygmy woodpecker, a passing black-naped oriole, and three common cuckoos. One of the cuckoos was kind enough to let me take a portrait.
A Common Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) near the Yeongsan River in Damyang.
After a few hours of hiking, we decided to get on the bus back to Gwangju. I stopped to photograph the oriental turtle-dove pictured above, when there was a high-pitched squeak and a small flash of iridescent blue. From under the boardwalk came a tiny bird, which flew over the river, stopped and hovered, dove into the water, and then flew off into the surrounding trees. The whole event lasted no more than fifteen seconds. And just like that, my nemesis was finally caught: the bird was a common kingfisher, probably a male. Suddenly I began to notice all the signs around me. The bank of the river here was high, the boardwalk cutting into a sandy cliff – perfect habitat to put a kingfisher nest. There were several dead branches hanging over the water, and underneath most of them were ample collections of droppings – obviously the kingfisher had several favorite perches to watch the river fromdamselfly, damyang, dragonfly, geumwol-ri, hyanggyo-ri, jeollanam-do, river, south korea, tree frog, trip report, wildlife, yeongsan river


Peter Gijsbers, working as hydrologist at a Dutch research institute called Deltares. Over the last ten year she has developed river flow forecasting systems in the USA, Australia and the Netherlands. Currently Peter is analyzing what the fresh water supply issues of the Netherlands will look like in the 2050’s. In Holland Peter did put a lot of glas pots onboard the Tecla for his researche on water during the voyage. Results later.
The spread of plasticsFor the Arctic, a lot of focus is on the Barentz Sea, which seams to fill up with plastic coming from the Atlantic Ocean by the Gulf stream. For the Canadian Arctic waters hardly any information can be found. When signing up for the NWP trip of Tecla, I decided to conduct some beach observations using the OSPAR beach litter classification scheme as guideline. I did not follow their strict instruction to square off a 100m or 1 km section, but conducted the observations as appropriate at the beginning or end of our landing hikes. I was primarily interested in the amount and age of litter deposited by sea.
From a litter perspective, our landings could be divided in three types: settlement landings (e.g. Pond Inlet, Gjoa Haven), landings within 5 miles of a settlement (e.g. Fortune Bay and Disko Fjord/Nipisat in Greenland, as well as Kugluktuk) and remote area landings (e.g. Beechey Island, Four Rivers Bay, Weld Harbour, M´Clintock Bay, Jerry Lind Island and the landing at the pingos north of Tuktoyaktuk).
I did not take any observations at settlement landingsfor the simple fact that many humans do not seem to care and leave a lot of stuff behind. We´ve seen many abandoned children bikes in or near the water, as well as car tyres, ropes and materials used for fishing. Landings close to settlements often showed signs of camping, such as fuel cans shotgun cartridges, cigarette buds and drink cans. Sometimes these were partly overgrown, sometimes the litter seemed pretty recent. Remote area landings were most interesting to me. generally we came across a few items. At the Union Bay side of Beechey Island, we found a decayed cleaner bottle and an aluminium drink can. At Four Rivers Bay, we found a glass bottle and a large rusty oil drum. Caribou at Weld Harbour were exposed to a few pieces of strapping bands. M´Clintock Bay has its own story, but some bottle caps and a juice bottle (best before 02-2019) were clearly recent. During our walk on Jerry Lind Island, we hit a beach facing Queen Maud Gulf, where some aluminium drink cans and cleaner bottle and wire had been deposited by the sea. With the landing on the pingo hike, a few miles north of Tuktoyaktuk, we saw lots of drift wood from the Mackenzie river. I almost thought the beach was litter free until I left the beach and found some cloth, cleaner bottles and a few other plastic pieces just blown up the land.
Nipisat (the abandoned whaling station in Disko Fjord), the Northumberland House side of Beechey Island and M´Clintock Bay (former settlement around the removed Defence Early Warning line radar station) all showed a lot of aged pollution from the settlement. Especially the first 300m beach of the headland at M´Clintock Bay was a mess, it looked like a former waste belt ruptured open by the ice. All over the place you could find glass, ceramic plates, cloth, even pieces of a recordplayer single overgrown by lichen, and completely decayed Eveready batteries.
My conclusion from all those observations: remote beaches in the Canadian Arctic are unfortunately not free from marine litter, although the quantities are low and the litter found is seldom of recent origin.

Having a business is beneficial in a lot of ways; for one thing, you can be your own boss with a flexible work schedule. You can start a business that actually means something to you personally. Read on to find out how to enjoy working from home.
If a home business is your main source of income, a fallback option is key. Disaster can strike at anytime, such as not receiving a shipment in time for a project deadline, and it is important to have a backup plan for such emergencies. Planning for things like this won’t leave you without cash while you’re recovering.
It can be both rewarding and frustrating to build a work from home business. First, you have to locate a niche for your online business. It can be anything that people need or want and it helps if you know about the subject already. Be sure to research thoroughly before jumping in with both feet. Network with other successful online business owners.
Taking on the commitment of a home business will require sincere efforts on your part. Since many regulations apply to buildings and businesses, check with your county to make sure the set-up you have in mind for your home business doesn’t create any legal conflict. You may find a separate office building on your property to be most suitable. This also acts as an effective barrier between your private life and work life.
Make sure that your business mail goes to a PO Box address. Do not use your own home address on business websites. This will protect both you and your family.
A helpful peer group can support you in your online business endeavors. Search out other business owners and think about starting your own group. Even though these people may own a business in a different field, you can use them as a source of motivation which can provide inspiration in building a successful home based business.
Do you have an office? It does not necessarily have to be a large office, but it should be neat and organized well. You should make your office a space where you feel productive, inspired, and calm. Though it may be small, you can still optimize the space.
Support yourself and your business with online forums visited by other people who have home businesses. There is a huge number and variety of sites and forums for home business enterprise owners, and the support and understanding is invaluable. You could easily find mentors on these forums that can provide you with their wisdom and understanding.
In order to get a bigger tax return, you should carefully track all of your business’ expenditures. These expenses include car mileage, gas and internet service. When you run your own business, many of these essential expenses become tax deductible. You will be surprised how quickly small items can add up and how much money you can save.
Ask your customers to refer loved ones to your business in return for an incentive. The best advertising is of course word of mouth, as everyone values a friend’s recommendation more than marketing materials. In addition, incentives encourage customer loyalty.
Always manage your financial records properly through accuracy and organization. If the IRS or another authority ever audits your business, you want to ensure that you have sufficient information to prove your expenses and income. Good records also help you determine if your company is succeeding or failing.
Take advantage of your tax deductions to optimize the profits for your home business enterprise. You can save a significant amount of money by claiming the right deductions.
Come up with a name for your business that has meaning. Buy the domain name for your business, even if you don’t have any website plans. Domains are fairly cheap so you need to grab one before another person does. Even if you are not yet ready to launch your website, list your business’ contact information on the home page.
It is a good idea to consult with a lawyer specializing in business prior to starting your home based business. Some states have applicable business laws which you will need to be made aware of. A business lawyer can inform you of any relevant state laws that you need to be aware of. The lawyer can be a great source of guidance when starting your home business by keeping you out of trouble.
Make sure you save your business receipts when running a home based business. Anything that you spend for your home business is tax deductible. Be sure to hang on to all receipts associated with the cost of running the business. You do not want to have any unneeded tax liability.
You need to write a business objective, a description of your business done in just a couple sentences. Include the identity of your business as well as its goal. Also describe what is unique about your business and its goals.
Beginning your home based business is not as difficult as you may think. There are many simple business models capable of being run in your own home, eliminating the need and expense of an office or storefront. What products do you not have access to in your local area; consider their demand and the cost of production.
Market your products through affiliates. Trade affiliate links with others. This is mutually beneficial for both businesses. Find and join existing affiliate programs to try and promote products that are complementary to your own. This is a fairly easy way to extend your reach without much effort from yourself.
When you look to file taxes for your online business, know that you cannot use vacations for tax deductions, but you can use business trips. This can really help you save on your taxes – as many of these expenses are deductible.
You can only truly grow your home business by taking some chances. When you try out new things, people will be more attracted to your business, thus, increasing your income. Doing the same routine repeatedly never allows you to see if you can do something better.
If your home business enterprise taxes are complicated, consider hiring on an accountant to look over your books. They will know much more about tax law than you and your time is better devoted to the overall management of your business.
Ensure that your online business has a website set up. Having a website can increase the business you receive. Create organized, interesting content and choose a relevant domain name.
Be sure to share the right amount of information with your customers, so that your customers are informed without being overloaded. Offer email alerts or newsletters, especially if you have frequent discounts or your website is updated often. Do not send out too many emails.
A great tip for your home business is to decide whether or not you will have a business partner. You can use this extra knowledge and capital for your business start up. If your personalities clash, however, your business could be doomed.
Always make sure that your website customers can easily find your products and purchase them. If they’re sold in stores, identify which stores sell them. This gives you credibility and will give your customers a reason to come back.
No home business should be without a website for selling product. This gives your product a broader audience that can produce higher sales and bigger profits. Getting a great website up and running quickly can be a cinch, if you consult a reputable professional.
Do not expect your success to be overnight. If anyone claims this they are likely a fraud. Developing a successful work from home business will take time. By exercising patience and diligence, you will succeed as you had always hoped and expected.
Select a home-based business objective. The objective should be a brief description of what it is your business does. If someone asks you what your business is all about, you’ll have an answer ready for them! This will give you a precise and professional narrative with which to impress potential customers.
There is no need for owning a home business enterprise to be hard. When you make a strong plan, stick to it and work towards your goals, the benefits of running a home business enterprise are astounding. Being the boss and making your own hours is rewarding. These tips can really help!

Brighton Lite / November 15, 2011	By Jack Deacon
This is the second part of an article published earlier this week.
A BBC One Real Story documentary broadcast in 2003 showed the results of a survey carried out with professional footballers. One of the key findings was that 5.6% of players knew of a colleague who used performance-enhancers.
Another notable finding was that 4% of the players admitted to receiving injections of an unknown substance. Many of the injections given to the 4% bracket probably only contained legal substances, but it is alarming that players are unaware of the ingredients surging into their bloodstreams, and it would be naïve to have no reservations.
With so much pressure to succeed, clubs naturally try to ensure that their players are in peak condition, and as such, will try any methods within reason, to give their squad an edge over opponents. There is but a thin line between using unconventional, but legal, methods to enhance players’ fitness levels, and breaching the doping law enforced by the UK Anti-doping Agency, whose budget the coalition government has cut by 3%.
During his spell as Chelsea manager, Claudio Ranieri instructed club doctors to give players sessions attached to an iron supplement drip, presumably to replenish their bodies with the iron lost during exercise. Chelsea’s medical team were uneasy with adopting these methods and refused to comply, so the Italian manager got his own team of coaches, countrymen who had performed the procedure for him at previous clubs, to carry out the sessions. This routine is clearly dubious, yet his medical team have maintained that the practice is entirely within regulations. It’s a case that highlights the ambiguity surrounding what can and cannot be done by clubs.
It’s obvious that the iron drip is intended to improve performances, but it seems that their are more covert, yet seemingly harmless practices that are punished harshly.
Manchester City’s Ivorian defender Kolo Toure was earlier this year given a six-month ban for taking a diet pill containing an illegal ingredient, apparently because of body image issues. Some football fans believed the ban to be too severe for such a small offence, but there may have been a subtext to his swallowing of the pill. Drug authorities have claimed that some diet pills can be used to cover up other substances so, although perhaps a touch sensational, it’s not completely unreasonable to wonder if his claims of being insecure about his body were a pretense.
Goalkeeper Paddy Kenny, now at QPR, received a nine-month ban in a similar case two years ago. The suspension came after he  play-off semi-final against Preston. He would have been banned for two years in normal circumstances but the FA believed his claim that he had taken the tablet for a chest infection. His then-manager, Kevin Blackwell, suggested that Kenny had been made a martyr by the FA and warned that the rules would only become more stringent as the 2012 Olympics approaches.
The Truth About Drugs in Football raised an issue with how infrequently players are tested for drugs in England – apparently only once every three years, while other sports test professionals several times a year – and proposed that a player from each team should be tested after every game, as is standard practice in Italy. They also lamented how many tests are abandoned, arguing that it’s too easy to steer clear of a test.
Perhaps the FA is ignorant of the problem at hand. The point is backed up by another stat published in the 2003 BBC Real Story documentary about drugs where it was revealed that 5.8% of the footballers questioned testified to have been given prior warning of an upcoming drug test.
The implied menace was rejected by the Secret Footballer columnist who writes for the Guardian, who dismissed the claims as “laughable”. He explained that “anyone who knows anything about the daily life of a football player will tell you that training can be moved at the drop of a hat, depending on anything from a good or bad result to the weather”.
While a certain degree of doubt surrounds how prominent the involvement of drugs in the English game is, there is no doubt that the issue lingers on1 in Features, Football, Sport. Related posts

Hope of Audacity
By JJ Biener - 09/07/2008 - 05:10 PM EDT
A few weeks ago my laptop crashed. At first, I wasn't too concerned. I have been using computers for 30 years, and I have learned a few tricks and tweaks to get a machine up and running again. It was only when my tricks and tweaks didn't work that I became concerned. The hardware it turned out was fine. Everything else, not so much. After reinstalling the operating system, I was left with a blank canvas on which to create a new system.
Rather than dwell on the negative of having to rebuild my system from scratch, I decided to look at it as an opportunity. Since I write about freeware, shareware and open source software, I challenged myself to create a robust, workable system using no commercial software. I use my laptop for writing, web development, research, online networking and general Internet access. OpenOffice.org gives me all the word processing and spreadsheet power I used to have with those other guys. Firefox gives me a full-featured Internet browser for all of my online activities. For web page layout, MoreMotion Web Express gives me a WYSIWYG HTML editor with the ability use Javascript when I need it. Paint.net gives me image editing and manipulation. Sound editing? That brings me to the subject of this article.
Audacity is an open source, multi-track sound recorder and editor available on Windows, Mac and Linux platforms. I had started using Audacity prior to my laptop's demise and resurrection, so it was one of the first applications I reinstalled once my machine was off life support. Ironically, one of few things I lost in the ordeal was the original version of this article. So without further discussion, let's look at the guts of the thing.
Audacity's user interface can be broken down into three basic areas: toolbars, menus and tracks. Each area has some unique functionality and some functionality which overlaps other areas. There are also keyboard shortcuts available for many functions,Audacity has eight available toolbars:
The Control Toolbar contains the six transport buttons used to control recording and playback: Pause, Play, Stop, Skip to Start, Skip to End and Record. The buttons are large and use standard symbols to indicate function. If any user is unsure of what the symbols mean, holding the cursor over the button will bring up a balloon with the function spelled out. Balloon help is available for all the buttons on the user interface.
The Device Toolbar allows the user set the input and output devices.
The Edit Toolbar provides the usual Cut, Copy and Paste functions. It also has buttongs for Trim which eliminates everything outside the current selection, and Silence which replaces the current selection with silence. The Edit Toolbar has buttons for Undo and Redo. It also has Zoom In, Zoom Out, Fit Selection on Screen and Fit Project on Screen.
The Meter toolbar provides metering for the stereo inputs and outputs. Meters can be horizontal or vertical. The display can be set to either linear or dB. The user can set how frequently the meters are updated to prevent any adverse effects on sound quality on slower machines.
The Mixer toolbar allows the user to set the levels for input and output
The Selection toolbar provides several functions. It displays/sets the current position in the audio file. It displays/sets the start and end points of the current selection. Optionally it can display the length of the selection instead of the end point. Position, start, end and length can be displayed in variety of formats including hours:minutes:second, samples, film frames, NTSC frames, PAL frames, CDDA frames and combinations of the above. The Selection toolbar also displays/sets the sample rate for the project as a whole irrespective of the sample rate of individual tracks.
The Tools toolbar provides the following functions:
The Selection tool allows the user to select a portion of audio track using the mouse.
The Envelope tool allows the user to draw an envelope to control the volume of a track.
The Draw tool allows the user to redraw the audio down to the individual sample.
The Zoom tool allows the user to use the mouse to zoom in on specific areas of audio.
The Time Shift tool allows the user to shift the selected track forward or backward within the project.
The Multi-tool combines the selection, envelope and zoom functions.
The Transcription toolbar allows the user to speed up or slow down playback to ease the transcription of difficult passages. The toolbar uses a slider to control the playback speed. This slider is not terribly accurate, however double-clicking on the toolbar brings up a window where the user can enter a precise factor to increase or decrease speed.
One of the cooler aspects of Audacity is its track display. In addition to audio tracks, Audacity supports label tracks, time tracks and MIDI tracks.
Label tracks allow the user to document a project. Selections can be named and saved. The labeled areas can be used to recall selections at a later time. There are other functions which use Label tracks which will be described in the Menu section.
Time tracks control playback speed. While the Transcription toolbar can be used to playback the entire project faster or slower, it is not saved with the project. The Time track is saved as a part of the project. It also allows the user to specify different tempos for various parts of the piece, and to transition smoothly from one tempo to another.
MIDI tracks exist in Audacity, but they have limited usefulness. They can be imported into the project and displayed in a piano roll format. They can't be played back and they can't be edited. The only real use I can see is they can be used to coordinate audio with MIDI events.
As you would expect, Audio trackss. First of all, they can be either mono or stereo. The display defaults to showing the standard waveform showing the amplitude of the waveform over time. The track view has several other display options as well. It can show the waveform using logarithmic units instead of linear. It can show the frequency spectrum with either linear or logarithmic units and it can attempt to display pitch. The display can zoom in and out both horizontally and vertically. Tracks can be shifted forward and back in time as well.
The user can split a stereo track into two mono tracks or combine two mono tracks into a stereo track. Mute, Solo, Level, and Pan Position are displayed and can be set directly from the display. The display shows Stereo/Mono. Sample Rate and Sample Format. A drop-down menu allows the user to change the Sample Rate and Sample Format. Sample Rate can be set to any standard rate from 8000 to 96000 Hz. The Sample Rate can also be set to an arbitrary value between 1 and 100,000 Hz. The Sample Format can be set to 16-bit PCM, 24-bit PCM or 32-bit Float.
The Audacity's menus are well laid out with all the functions you would expect and perhaps a few you wouldn't. Rather than go into detail on the standard functions, I will try to hit some of the highlights of the other features Audacity provides.
Under the File menu, there are some interesting export functions. Import and Export under Audacity support a wide variety of file types and variations. Of course the popular file types are supported: WAV, AIFF, MP3, FLAC and Ogg Vorbis. In addition, less common types can be supported by specifying header type and encoding scheme. Headers include AU, AVR, CAF, MAT4, MAT5, VOC, etc. Encoding includes PCM, DPCM, ADPCM, 32-bit float, 64-bit float, U-Law, A-Law and more. If you can understand those last two sentences, more power to you. I can deal with WAV and MP3 and rest is for someone with requirements far beyond my own.
Export can operate on the entire project or only on a specific selection. There is also an option to export the labels to a text file. It saves the text of the label with the start and end points. There is also an Export Multiple function. This allows the user to export a project as a series of files. The series of files can be the individual tracks or the audio defined by the labels on the Label tracks. The former would be useful to move a project to another multi-track audio program. The latter would be useful for exporting individual hits from a drum loop for use in a drum machine program.
Audacity doesn't have a full macro capability. It does have what it calls Chains. A Chain is a list of funct When setting up a Chain, certain parameters can be specified for most functions. So if have a long list of files where you want to normalize a piece of audio, remove anythen run it through a compression algorithm, setting up a Chain can be effective way to simplify that process. The Chain functions are also on the File menu
Under the Edit menu in addition to Cut, Copy, and Paste functions, there are a series of Split functions. Split functions separate the current selection into a separate piece of audio before performing the selected operation. What this means in practical terms is, say, the Cut function places the selection on the clipboard, removes the selected portion of audio and closes the hole. Split cut leaves the hole filled with silence. Split New removes the selection and creates a new track with the selection aligned with its original position in the project.
Also on the Edit menu are a series of functions which can be performed on the regions defined on the Label track. These include functions like Cut, Split Cut, Copy, Delete, Split, etc. Labeled regions can be saved and restored. Also playback can be locked to a given region. All these functions are useful when dealing with subsections of a larger audio file.
Under the View menu is a history function. It shows a list of commands that have been executed on the current project. It can be used to undo or redo multiple functions at a time. It would have been very useful if it were possible to copy these commands to create a Chain, but unfortunately that functionality isn't there yet.
The Tracks menu is were the user can create new tracks, remove tracks, align tracks, and sort tracks. In addition, there are other useful functions like converting stereo to mono and mixing down the tracks to a single track. This menu also has functions to create a Label for the current selection or at the current audio position.
The Generate menu has all the functions for creating sound. Included are functions like Chirp, Noise, DTMF (telephone touch tones), Click Track, Silence and others. Other generate algorithms can be added through plug-ins. Plug-ins will be discussed in a minute.
For me the most useful functions are found on the Effect menu. These functions include EQ, Noise Removal, Compression, Fade In, Fade Out, Change Pitch, Change Speed among many more. As with the Generate menu, additional functions can be added through plug-ins. In general the effects are well executed. For example, our esteemed leader at Muse's Muse, Jodi Krangle uses the noise reduction to good effect on her voice-over recording.
The Analyze menu has functions which can greatly improve the quality of a recording. Beat Finder and Silence Finder have obvious uses when dividing out pieces of an audio recording. Find Clipping will alert you when sound is being distorted. Potentially the most useful function is the Plot Spectrum. It provides frequency analysis with a number of different options. I would lying if I told you I understand everything this function provides, but I can read it well enough to understand where each track sits in the frequency spectrum and how that will affect the EQ and Level choices I make. In the right hands, I suspect a whole lot more could be done with it.
There is a Help menu, but the help files need to be installed separately. In all honesty, I never actually figured out how to do that. I use the manual which I keep on my machine, and that works well enough for my purposes. If you are set on having the help files, I am sure there is information on the Audacity web site which can help you.
As promised above, it is time to discuss plug-ins. As you probably know by now, plug-iAudacity, plug-ins can add new Generate algorithms and new Effects. Audacity supports three kinds of plug-ins: LADSPA, Nyquist, and VST.
LADSPA plug-ins were originally developed for Linux, but they work fine on Windows and Mac. On the Audacity web site there is a download with 90+ LADSPA plug-ins. It includes a lot of nice filters and other effects, but I have to admit I don't have any idea what some of them do.
Nyquist plug-ins are text based so no special software is necessary to create these, plus they work equally well on all platforms. Several are included with Audacity. For the more ambitious among you, there are tutorials available on line that describe how to write them.
If there is one area where Audacity disappointed me, it is in its support for VST. Sin Effects are supported, but only to a limited degree. The big disappointment is the effect's user interface is not displayed. What is displayed is a screen with sliders for any parameters that are exposed to host program, in this case Audacity. There is a list of VST plug-ins on the Audacity web site which have been tested and work well. Many of these are free and available on the Internet at sites like KVR Audio and Hitsquad.
Audacity isn't going to make high-end products like Soundforge obsolete. It simply doesn't have the depth of functionality or the flexibility of the more expensive products. Audacity is open source so it has been created and maintained by a group of people who work on a volunteer, ad-hoc basis. Documentation is adequate but not exceptional or even very robust. All this aside, if you need an audio editor and finances are an issue, download and install a copy, then give it a test drive. Unless your needs are quite demanding, Audacity should give you all the functionality you need.

Newcastle United and West Bromwich Albion targeting Wolves man
Premier League sides Newcastle UniteWolves defender Conor Coady, as per a report by the Birmingham Mail.
He has been converted into a defender from a central midfielder and his impressive displays have put him firmly on the radar of Newcastle and West Brom.
Coady has played a pivotal part in the Wolves side who have got to the top of the Championship this season under Nuno Espirito Santo and they will not want to lose him this January.
He never really broke into the first-team at Liverpool but got plenty of first-team experience on loan at Sheffield United in the 2013/14 season. He left Liverpool on a permanent basis to join Huddersfield Town in the summer of 2014 but spent just a season with them before he joined Wolves the year after.
Coady is a key player for Wolves and they will be hoping they can see off interest in him and hold onto him.

Get ready for a lot more Billy Eichner. The Billy on the Street host’s new comedy series, Difficult People, has been given a straight-to-series order by Hulu, reports The Hollywood Reporter. The show, which will co-star Billy on the Street head writer Julie Klausner, focuses on two best friends living in New York whose “irreverent” behavior gets them stuck in sticky situations. Originally passed on by USA Network, the series, executive produced by Amy Poehler, goes into production early next year.
Speaking of new series getting picked up by networks: HBO has picked up J.J. Abrams and Jonathan Nolan’s adaptation of Michael Chrichton’s Westworld. Set to come out next year, the sci-fi thriller, among others. [IGN]
It may be short — only 30 seconds long — but any new footage of Inherent Vice is well worth checking out. [YouTube]

Thinking about knitting another short not pointy stay-on without a pin or button type of shawl for my mother. I picked up some local natural white alpaca (DK, I think) that would keep her 87 year old (and counting) shoulders good and warm. Her first one is Malabrigo worsted — same yarn, different dye lot, as her lapghan.
