"I'll never forget. When Marquise didn't get into the final three jumps, he was just completely devastated," said Sategna, now head coach of Texas' track programs.. "I remember him falling to his knees on the track. He knew at that point, he was getting ready for the NFL, and that was kind of, in his mind, his last chance."
"I was walking through the tunnel to get to the warm-up area," Sategna said. "I ran into Sonya. She asked me, 'How did Marquise do?' I told her, and she was just crushed. We all knew what it meant to him."
"I left London thinking that was my last jump ever."
He set a personal best, soaring 27 feet, 5½ inches to finish fourth among the nation's elite. He took silver at the Pan Am Games two weeks later, a moment he deemed "surreal."
"We initially recruited Marquise at Texas, signing him on a track and field scholarship with the idea that he would give football a look," Sategna said. "We sort of knew, with him coming out of high school jumping almost 27 feet at the time, thinking this guy is going to be the best athlete out there on the field. But he's also not very big, so he was always one hit away from his career being over."
"The coaches know what I'm capable of. My teammates know what I'm capable of. I just got injured last year, that's been the story. I just have to put myself in a better position when I'm on the field, have a better awareness."
"I knew that I would perform like that at some point this year," Goodwin said. "I'm really not In other years I hadn't been able to train and focus on putting a lot of effort into track & field, it's been splitting time with track and football."
"I kept asking myself questions," Goodwin said. "What if I did it again?What if I made the team again?Could I win next time, knowing what I know now?
"I know what I'm capable of. Not performing to the best of my ability (in London), that got at me."
"Working with people like (2004 long jump gold medalist) Dwight Phillips and Jeremy Fisher, getting advice from Edrick Floreal," Goodwin said, "…just having people like that in my corner, it definitely helps me in my pursuit. Having people that believe in me and really think I have a shot at doing something that not many people could do, it's exciting."
"The guy is a workaholic," said Floreal, a two-time Olympian and current head coach of Kentucky's track programs. "Works really, really hard. Really wants to be the best at what he does. He wants to know all the intricate details about the jump — the approach, the landing. He's really a class act as far as work ethic, improving himself goes."
"But he certainly has to be one of the favorites. Playing in the NFL, those guys are gladiators, they can withstand a lot more trauma and emotional beating than a typical athlete. He's mentally tough and I think he's had a bit of a tough life and I think the kid has more resolve than a lot of the other jumpers."
"This is the path that everybody feels I'm supposed to take, The fans love me, there's no hate at all. Everybody is very supportive, they think it's very cool in the track world that I can come from football and do something like this. They admire it, they've shown so much support."
"…Obviously it's not's going to be in great shape; we know that."
"As far as me missing time with the Bills, if I miss for the Olympics, come out with a medal — a gold medal at that — and if that affects my chances at football, then that's not so big. I'd rather go down swinging than not trying at all."

Would NBA teams start doing this type of thing and fund NBL clubs' security but subsequently move a teams location, identity colours etc for their gain?
There is already the G League and WNBA for NBA owners to spread their wings but could it get bigger whereby perhaps the Bulls also own three European clubs, an Asian club (probs not China) and an NBL club?
I found it hilarious how the article took the stance that the cash-strapped Central Coast Mariners' history is oh so important. They were only founded in 2004 and thoroughout their history have played in front of tiny crowds, give us a break.
It's good for A-League as it is a competition that is going nowhere and bleeding money. NBL aren't in the same type sort of desperation so I don't think it is necessary, but if a club like Illawarra, who the locals don't care about anymore, were to move that wouldn't be a bad thing.
NBL clubs won't happen...NBA have the G-League that will be the expansion at best.
the NBL is on life supporting and slowly dying!
Knicks, Lakers, Warriors are all above Manchester Utd in terms of wealth. I think they have enough money to play around with.
Wrong mate the top EPL teams annual revenue is double most of those teams you've mentioned.
The NBA teams have a higher valuation but significantly lower annual revenue's plus they have issues around equalization that EPL teams don't have to contend with when profitable.
In essence the EPL teams have alot more cash to splash on a year to year basis due to the revenues generated as the NBA teams value is in the license not the day to day business.
The nbl would be a good league for the NBA to test some of its concepts in.

"We expected to see people smoking marijuana to alleviate nausea and pain and to increase their appetite--all the reasons that are commonly cited," Diane Prentiss, a research epidemiologist at the San Mateo Medical Center, told the Examiner. "In this case, we were surprised that 57% say they smoked to relieve anxiety or depression." Researchers had surveyed 252 HIV-positive patients, 23% of whom used marijuana. When asked why they used the drug, mental health issues emerged as the top reason. Other common reasons for smoking medical marijuana were to curb nausea and to increase appetite. Nearly one third of the marijuana users also said they smoked the drug for recreational reasons, and just 28% said they smoked marijuana to relieve pain.
) </s> IDEA: Blue Moon's beers are works of art, so its ads must be, too. That was the accord struck by the MillerCoors brand and The Integer Group in 2009 when the Lakewood, Colo., agency began an artful approach to the brewer's advertising, which would become instantly recognizable—a welcome dash of color and craft amid the beery bro hugs of the category.
The new ad shows a brewmaster flipping through a scrapbook of ideas, as the brand's flagship Belgian White and four other collections spring up from the pages. "Without even seeing the words Blue Moon or our logo, consumers recognize these ads as ours," Young said. "They work very hard for us."
COPYWRITING: There is no dialogue, so the scripting is mostly about finding a framework for the message. In this case, it meant highlighting five groups of beer in just 30 seconds. The creatives drew inspiration from Blue Moon founder Keith Villa, who keeps notebooks of ideas.
ART DIRECTION/FILMING: Each page that's flipped over reveals a new canvas of sketches, from which spring-glowing bottles nestled in various scenes capture the essence of Blue Moon's beers—the Belgian White (a forest with an elk and a luminous moon), the Seasonal Collection (grass, leaves, pumpkins, snow), the Expressionist Collection (a farm, a trove of ingredients), the Vintage Ale Collection (a vineyard) and the Graffiti Collection (a tagged brick wall).
Shaun Sewter of MOO Studios filmed in painstaking stop motion—an art in itself. "It's not just the look of the paint coming to life but the camera work as well," said Bredice. "Stop motion just gives us more artistic credibility," added Integer copywriter Sam Zeanah.
Having them pose for shot after shot of stop motion was "a little painful for them, but they were good sports," said Reynolds.
SOUND: The agency scored a major coup for the "Brewmaster's Touch" spot a year ago by licensing "Ho Hey" by Denver rock band the Lumineers just before it became the song of that summer. The track in the new spot is by another local band, South of France. "Once we heard their stuff, we just fell in love with it," said Zeanah.
MEDIA: The media buy is a mix of broad cable entertainment and some sports, along with cinema and digital. The target is people who are "just starting on their craft journey," said Young.

Destructive Effects of Harmonic Distortion A power system's 3 Device-dispersionexample 74 3. Too much harmonic distortion can result in slow and steady damage to sensitive electronic equipment and motors. Harmonic distortion may be expressed in terms of the relative strength of individual components, in decibels, or the root mean square of all harmonic components: Total harmonic distortion (THD), as a percentage. In turn, interaction of harmonic currents from the devices with high impedance caused due to parallel resonance leads to a high harmonic distortion in voltage. Effects of Harmonics: One of the major effeThe harmonic components were tuned in frequency and physiologically vulnerable, implying that they were related to the cell-derived force that sharpens tuning at low levels in healthy cochleae(p Harmonic distortion is converted to timing errors by the phase detector. The measure of distortion is the percentage of all harmonic voltages present in the signal being measured compared with the level of the pure sine wave component. Harmonics symptoms are usually anything but subtle.Harmonic Distortion • Harmonic problems are becoming more apparent because more harmonic producing equipment is being applied to power systems –VFD’s – Electronic Ballasts –UPS • Additionally, in many cases, these electronic based devices can also be more sensitive to harmonics Effective Grounding Surge Solutions Harmonic Solutions. Since the first AC generator went online more than 100 years ago, electrical systems have experienced harmonics. Harmonic Distortion Produced by Synchronous Generator in Thermal - Power Plant ELESCHOVA ZANETA, BELAN ANTON, MARTIN MUCHA Department of Power Engineering Slovak University of Technology Ilkovicova 3, Bratislava SLOVAK REPUBLIC Abstract: - At the present time, the area of energy interference is highly relevant cause of these reasons: wide-range of. An undesired consequence is that the waveform's fifth harmonic demodulates power near 190 kHz. The defined indices are: 1. Total Harmonic Distortion is important when considering equipment, but only to a certain point. The causes of even harmonic distortion, which are in the recording process itself, all have one thing in common. In the case of variable speed drives, harmonic current distortion is caused by the input rectifier component, typically a six-pulse diode rectifier. The spectrum of the output shows added frequency components at 2x the original signal, 3x, 4xAntonyms for Harmonic frequency. Problems Resulting from Harmonic Distortion. Data Center Design Consideration: Transformers and Harmonic Distortion Datengineers in today's critical facilities are in search of reliable and energy-efficient equipment with low total cost of ownership. stimulation. • Harmonic currents passing through the impedance cause a voltage drop for each harmonic. Simulations using nonlinear codes [13]–[15] have predicted suppression by harmonic injection, for example, but. For example, series reactors are used to limit the amount of fault current since inductors resist a change in current.,. Individual harmonics are referred to by the harmonic number, that is a distortion component which is twice the original frequency is called the second harmonic. 5 Distortion factor ν p. (EirGrid 2013) Page 3 of 14 Figure 1 depicts the first four voltage harmonics and the resulting distortion which they would cause to a 50 Hz voltage (or current) waveform. and i want to know what cause them to creative ?. HARMONIC DISTORTION OF THE REFERENCE WAVEFORM. but in practical adc i have some frequency that they are not harmonic of input frequency,i think called them distortion. This crossover distortion is composed of mainly third harmonic distortion, with a bit of fifth harmonic distortion as well. Efforts to manage harmonic distortion that accompanied the VFDs are what led to the writing of IEEE-519, a standard which expressly links harmonic distortion with power system resonance conditions. I don't disagree that even harmonics are present (but my ears don't tell me that, so I'll take the word of people who have done spectral analyses). These loads create harmonic distortion that can have adverse effects on your equipment. Yet, it becomes simpler when it is divided into the fundamental definitions of harmonics and distortion0% • Total Harmonic Voltage Distortion [ V Abstract: Power factor has increasingly become a topic of discussion when specifying loads and AC/DC or AC/AC power sources. > > > now, for Les and Mark.

Common Signal Distortion Tracking type Synchro to Digital converters are not sensitive to distortion of the reference waveform, very large distortions like 20% third harmonic will have negligible effect on the working of the converters. Troubleshooting series: Total harmonic distortion. It can arise if any component in the amplifer clips the peaks of the waveform. harmonics are higher than the inverter we examined here, the current harmonic distortion changes between 7% - 16% in the simulation. stimulation. Cable Heating Effects due to Harmonic Distortion in Electrical Installations Kevin O’Connell, Martin Barrett, Jonathan Blackledge and Anthony Sung Abstract—The increasing use of non-linear loads in electrical installations has exacerbated the problems of harmonic distortionThe presence of nonlinear electronic loads will cause increasing spectral injectors of low order harmonic currents into the grid [ 4 ]. Wins. Why use a Harmonic Filter? Harmonic filters are used in some installations because the harmonic levels are too hgh and are causing problems with other equipment. For induction machines, negative sequence harmonic currents will also cause a negative torque, which of course isn't good. THD is the relationship of all present harmonics to the fundamental frequency—exs to the power of fundamental frequency. Speakers, cables, headphones and mixers can colour the sound you hear with harmonic distortion generated by the headphones etc themselves. A heavily automated industrial site may be disrupted by as little 2% voltage harmonic distortionhe


So Much to Take In
So much has happened since I last blogged on May 17. The mayor’s phase 1 reopening on May 29 coincided with the national tsunami of reaction to the George Floyd murder, and now the country’s president is riding roughshod over lawful protesters and the District of Columbia. It’s a time for coming together to combat racial injustice, and coming together as a D.C. community to demand our rights as American citizens. All while we try to keep safe as covid continues to move among us.
It’s a lot. And in the midst of it, I’d like us to remind ourselves (many will not need the reminder) that there are many people served by the Department on Disabilitywho are people of color, and who therefore have dual risks in their dealings with law enforcement. In recent days our local spotlight has been more on the misbehavior of federal authorities and not so much on the MPD, but this may be a timely moment for us to regroup as a community around the issue of police interactions at the local level. The DD council, with Project ACTION!, is planning to facilitate a conversation among self-advocates along these lines as a starting point.
I really don’t know what else I want to say. Like many of you, I’m a little in shock, a lot worried, and trying to think which way to turn.

Allow us prove this statement WRONG </s> Eastern Wood-Pewee
Preferred Habitat: Deciduous woodlands, including urban shade trees.
Seasonal Occurrence: Greatest numbers in the spring and fall. Also common in summer. Breeds in our area.
Profile by Bryce Loschen: Eastern Wood-Pewees are a medium-sized grayish flycatcher with long wings and tail, short legs, two wing bars, and a peaked crown giving the head a triangular shape. From the front, you can see the sides of the breast are dusky gray with a lighter throat and belly, making it look as though they are wearing a vest. Eastern Wood-Pewees are known for their distinctive pee-a-wee call which is a common summer sound for much of the Eastern US. Compared to flycatchers from the Empidonax genus, Eastern Wood-Pewees have longer wings, much duller eyerings, and have the characteristic grayish “vest.” Eastern Phoebes are also similar, but are a darker brownish color, have weak wing bars, and no vest. Western Wood-Pewees look almost identical to their eastern cousins, and are best distinguished by range and voice.
Eastern Wood-Pewees are woodland birds. They are often found near forest edges and cle Pewees will sit on an exposed branch part way up the canopy then sally out to catch an insect in the air. One study found that parents will make an average of 68 sallies per hour during the breeding season when feeding young. Their diet is mostly insects including flies, butterflies, moths, bees, wasps, beetles, grasshoppers, crickets, stoneflies, and mayflies. On occasion they will also consume berries. During breeding Eastern Wood-Pewees make nests on tree branches which are a  covered with lichens. The nests are small and well camouflaged and may look like a bump or knot on the branch from the side or below.
Eastern Wood-Pewees breed throughout the eastern US and southern Canada and winter in northern South America.

Breakfast at Alla Lenz
Nice, small hotel with a warm family velcome. Just what we looked for....
Pension Allez Lenz is very convieniently located near bus,tram and underground train stations. The travelling time to the city is only 5 minutes. The hotel is staffefor tourists to Vienna. Breakfast was of good quality. We very much enjoyed our stay in this hotel.
We were very content with our stay on Hotel Alla Lenz. The service was especially good!
The hotel is situated in a quiet area, fairly close to the Metro station. The staff was welcoming and a very gracious hostess precided over the breakfast. She helped us plan our outing for the day. The AC was switched off at night, but the fact was mentioned in the hotel details, so one can't really complain. Nevertheless, we found the nights hot and could do nothing about it. The hotel was rated as 4 star, which it definitely is not, but it was not bad for the price.
The hotel's best asset is is female receptionist who welcomed us warmly on our arrival in Vienna. She was most helpful throughout our stay and gave us lots of advice on practical things that we needed to know. The bedroom was too small for two people but it was clean and well kept. Breakfast was enjoyable.

Was fine as reserved. We arrived day early - room provided was $120, hotel refused to change us to our agreed room at $86. At ehck out we were surprised with a $15 a day car park fee - it had shown as free.
well located close to the underground, quiet hotel where the staff are pleasant. rooms are kitsch
The standard of the hotel was v in respect of what to see and how to get around Vienna.
La proprietaria e' gentilissima e ci ha fornito molte chicche sulla citta'.
Probobly for Wien price was acceptable but I was in MUnich before and for this same price I got great room.Also I was not told that it was a pension instead a hotel.Made some diference in regard of offered services

When the Nokia introduced the new handsets for its second generation phones with Windows Phone OS, it’s well known that the Nokia Lumia 820 would be the end of upper-middle range with which deployed the platform Windows Phone 8. However, in recent weeks have met some variations based on this model, like the Nokia Lumia 810 and Nokia Lumia 822 and that’s not even talk about the rumored Nokia Lumia 830, which would become the midrange more cost cutting. In this regard, several questions arise about what makes them different from these three devices.
First, the new Lumia 800 series family has in its pattern of header Lumia 820. This will be distributed worldwide to the general rule. The Nokia Lumia 810 and Nokia Lumia 822 are specific versions to regions and operators, in this case, focusing on U.S. and from the hand of T-Mobile and Verizon, respectively. Furthermore, all three have different designs. The Nokia Lumia 820 is formatted with the edges rounded capped, while the Nokia Lumia 810 is more rectilinear and Nokia Lumia 822 follows a similar aesthetic to wake the Nokia Lumia 620.
Read also: Everything about Nokia Lumia 820 in depth analysis
In purely technical, the Nokia Lumia 810 is the only of the three that does not support the fourth generation mobile networks LTE, another option that is available on the Nokia Lumia 820 and Nokia Lumia 822. The batteries of the three also make a difference, at least in the Nokia Lumia 820, whose unit is ready to administer compared to 1650 milliamps of Nokia Lumia 822 and Nokia Lumia 810, which are 1800 milliamps. The secondary camera on the front of each device also will notice a difference. And the Nokia Lumia 820 has a unit capable of capturing quality photos VGA, substantially improved compared to the sensor Nokia Lumia 822 and Nokia Lumia 810, which carried 1.2 megapixels in still image capture.
Also, the internal memory is another marking distances between the three devices. In this sense, the Nokia Lumia 820 and Nokia Lumia 822 carry an integrated cargo 16GB, while users of the Nokia Lumia 810 must comply with eight GB standard. In all cases, we start with the similarities and identifying the three devices, the memory can be expanded up to 64 GB, as long as we resort to microSD cards.
Furthermore, the trio screens are 4.3 inches and a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels. We also observed the same main camera eight megapixel capable of capturing video with HD quality and accompanied by a dual LED flash. Processor nourishes itself three phones: the S4 Snadragon 1.5GHz Qualcomm the Californian firm and in all cases with a GB of RAM integrated. Of course, Lumia 820, Lumia 822 and Lumia 810 battery by induction.

Day 4 - Fri 1 Dec 06
Carving in the Museum
There's a lot less traffic out there today - you can tell it's a Friday! Skipped breakfast at the hotel; and had the croissant I got from my street vendor for about 1/18th of the cost. Walked down to the Hejaz railway station. I'd walked passed it the other day but was concentrating on not getting run over I failed to notice it. Inside is now a bookstore, but you can still buy train tickets there, for trains that leave from the Kadam station 5km to the south. No honestly!
Then it was a walk down to the National Museum. The Lonely Planet said it would cost me 300 to get in, but I was charged 150. It's got a lot of stuff, but the highlight has to be tomb they have transported from Palmyra. I was taking my time, and having a good look at all the exhibits but then one of the photo police came up and told me that the place was closing soon. Hmm, the LP said it shut at 4pm, and it's only 11:30, anyway I did the rest of the rooms and headed out. Had some issues getting back out onto the street as the gate was so stiff, but managed it (in the end).
Crossing the Road in Syria
Walked up to the old city and had a stop for some flat bread pizza. They don't like giving change (even tho' they have it), so I ended up getting two bits of bread - a good sales technique I guess. I'd never cross the road at home the way I do here, but then the traffic is generally running that bit slower here, and the drivers half expect you to step out.
Walked the entire length of Straight Street - most of the shops are shut, so it's quicker and quieter than yesterday. Interestingly the Christian quarter has a much different feel to it, the houses seem to be closer together and people live here, its not all just business premises.
Up to the house of Anayas (25SYP) to see where St. Paul was cured of his blindness, there's a very interesting little underground church here. Feeling rather tried now, but kept on walking, and managed to obtain some flat bread and soft cheese for 50SYP, so that's a cheap snack! After walking through some really old bits of Damascus I came out right next to the Citadel. Back to the hotel, via another street bakery and the Internet Cafe.
I've picked up a sore throat from the plane trip - it feels like I've got sandpaper down my throat. Also everyone in Syria smokes, all the time, everywhere. The average life expectancy can't be great. As the sun was setting I popped up to the roof of the hotel to get some photos of the hills that surround the city.

A.J. Clemente got his big break on Sunday, April 21, as the new weekend anchor for NBC affiliate KFYR-TV in Bismarck, N.D. But less than 24 hours later, he's looking for work again, having been fired by the station for opening his first-ever broadcast with profanity.
It appears he won't get the chance -- at least, not at KFYR-TV. According to CBS News, the station said Sunday night that Clemente had been suspended. And on Monday morning, the rookie anchor posted some bad news on Twitter.

As teenagers (when our whole world revolves around……ourselves!
A couple of years ago, my family arrived at a beach house to spend some time with some friends. One of the teen girls came up to the house from the beach and spent about an hour with us and then when everyone decided to go to the beach she wanted us to wait for her because she was going to change her bathing suit. When I asked her why, she said she didn't want the people at the beach to think she only had one bathing suit. Thinking this was ridiculous, I asked her, "Do you really think that even if someone remembered you from the beach this morning and saw you in the same bathing suit, they'd think it was your only bathing suit?And even if they did, so what, do you really care that much about what people think about you?" She shrugged and feebly answered, "Well…" I countered, "Is that what you would think about a person who came back to the beach with the same bathing suit on?" "Yeah!" she said without hesitation. "Aha!" I said, "So what you're really saying is that's what you would think, and not necessarily what anyone else is thinking, right?" "Well, I guess so" she admitted. "So," I pointed out, "wouldn't that [type of judgmental thought] be on you (your issue)?" Her rebuttal was to go to the other room to change her bathing suit!
The basic root I want to bring to light is once again, a self-worth issue. If we look at the issue as a plant, we can see the root as being self-loathing manifesting as critical, acerbic thoughts and words about ourselves. To make ourselves feel better, we might use those same thoughts and words to put others down (the stem). Carried another step further, because we are thinking those thoughts about others, now we can just imagine what they're thinking/saying about us (the leaf). The eventual "fruit" is doing all kinds of crazy things to "appease" others to keep them from thinking those imagined thoughts, to make ourselves feel better, to make us feel worthy – and THAT'S THE BIGGEST LIE OF ALL – because it NEVER makes us feel worthy and so the cycle repeats!
You can do this, and the truth is you probably already do. Yeah, I'm blooming, you're blooming, let's get this garden planted!

BRITTANY JONES-COOPER: Secretary Clinton, speaking of that give and take, you interview a reverend in the "Rebel Hearts" episode, where you open up about one of the gutsiest decisions you've had to make in your life, which was the decision to stay in your marriage.
BRITTANY JONES-COOPER: Why did you want to open up about that and share how personal that decision was for you?
So thankfully, this episode really taught me a lot because for so long, I had thought, well, comedy isn't really funny. I would think it's probably mean-spirited. And this was really illuminating for me. And I learned a lot about myself. And I learned a lot about comedy. And I have a completely new appreciation. And I now thankfully have some favorite comics.
BRITTANY JONES-COOPER: I love that. That's progress. But I also think you're forcing a lot of us to look at what we think is funny and to imagine who that's impacting. So I think it works both ways there. Chelsea, someone who is unapologetically herself is Meg Thee Stallion, who you guys interviewed and painted with. So what did you learn from Meg?

On Sept. 17, Sen. Garrett Richter, R-Naples, introduced SB 318 (aka, "Regulation of Oil and Gas Resources"). The bill summary is completely blunt about what it's proposing: "Preempting the regulation of a." Not only that, if a municipality has already decided that it does not wish to allow fracking within its jurisdiction, this bill would declare "existing ordinances and regulations relating thereto void." The bill would provide an exception for certain zoning ordinances (it doesn't say which zoning ordinances, but we like to think that it would at least respect your right to not have fracking companies set up shop in your residentially zoned backyard) but only if those ordinances were in place before Jan. 1, 2015. Interestingly, the bill doesn't contain the word fracking anywhere in its text – nor does it contain the words "hydraulic fracturing." Instead, it refers to fracking as the very innocuous-sounding practice of "high-pressure well stimulation."
Sen. Darren Soto, D-Orlando, is one of the legislators leading the charge against fracking – he's put forward a bill for the 2016 session that would ban fracking in the state completely: "We have a very unique geology here," he says, pointing out that the fragile limestone bed beneath our soil would not be able to withstand the practice of shooting chemicals into it at high pressure. "Our geology does not allow for fracking to be done safely."
"Consumers are getting screwed again," Dudley said in a phone call with Florida Politics late Monday afternoon. "A five-member panel of unelected people decide they're going to allow this huge corporation get $500 million a year from ratepayers to subsidize and pay for fracking – drilling" he said with obvious disdain, adding, "It's a staggering ripoff."
Our savings BTW will be 2 bucks a year. We can buy what two cucumbers with that. I can't even buy the ingredients for my smoothie with that (cucumber, cantaloupe, almond milk, local honey and ice cubes). FPL wants 500 million dollars from you and can't even buy you a smoothie.
Richter's bill (SB 1468) defines the process as a "well intervention performed by injecting more than 100,000 gallons of fluids into a rock formation at high pressure" to create fractures to increase production at an oil or gas well.
oursantaferiver.org/wp/martin-county-wants-no-fracking/
With creditors of fracking companies taking huge losses on their investments, and with more losses coming, it isn't surprising that frackers have been basically locked out of the bond market, and regulators are worried that banks are overexposed.
On one side are the bankers who have been grappling with the plunge in oil prices and the need to shore up billions of dollars in credit extended to the energy industry. On the other are regulators eager to prevent another financial crisis while not knowing what it might be. Caught in the middle are the smthat re"

Allen asked her to write a story about the Miami River, but Douglas did not find it very interesting, calling it only "an inch long". She began learning more about the Miami River though, and in her research, she instead suggested to her editor to write a story about the Everglades. Douglas spent five years researching the Everglades, consulting with Garald Parker of the US Geological Survey, who was studying the Everglades hydrology systems, and eventually wrote nearly 40 papers on the ecosystems in the Everglades.

"Oh, then it's an autobiography," I said. "Well, now," the old man answered, pausing for a moment, "that all depends on what ye a-want the story to be about. Some write autobiographies, a-makin' the whole book all about themselves. But the best are biographies, when they tell their story within God's larger story and are a-written with the help of a Ghost writer." "A ghost writer?" I said, "you mean I can get help."

In the present paper, radial and hoop thermal and mechanical stress analysis of a rotating disk made of functionally graded material (FGM) with variable thickness is carried out by using finite element method (FEM). To model the disk by FEM, one-dimensional two-degree elements with three nodes are used. It is assumed that the material properties, such as elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratio and thermal expansion coefficient, are considered to vary using a power law function in the radial direction. The geometrical and boundary conditions are in the shape of two models including thermal stress (model-A) and mechanical stress (model-B). In model-A there exists no pressure in both external and internal layers, and there is a temperature distribution considered as a second order function in the radial direction of the rotating disk. In this case, the temperature dependency of the material properties is considered and a hyperbolic type is assumed for the geometry of the disk. In model-B, there is a constant pressure only on the internal layer and a pressure on the internal layer of the disk without temperature distribution but with different types of surface profiles. Furthermore, the displacements and stresses for various power law indices (N) and angular velocities are calculated and compared to other results in the literature. The effect of varying thicknesses and dependency of material properties on temperature distribution is investigated.
Finite element method Functional graded material Rotating disk Variable thickness Temperature dependency

Denver Dispensaries That Only Grow and Sell Their Own Weed
Can the CBD Industry Police Itself? One Company Says it's Essential.
CBDistillery recently bought advertising in New York's Time Square.
Thomas Mitchell | August 2, 2019 | 6:05am
The hoopla surrounding CBD has become so loud that even CBD companies are starting to get annoyed. One Colorado CBD brand recently went so far as to buy ads in New York's Time Square to attack gimmicky products and marketing campaigns that push CBD into everything from candles to firewood.
CBDistillery, a company known for hemp-derived CBD edibles, oils, capsules, vaporizers and more, wants people to be more discerning about how they consume CBD. But where is that line drawn, and who should be leading the conversation? We chatted with CBDistillery chief marketing officer Chris Van Dusen to see what he thinks.
Westword: How are CBD and its benefits being oversold to the public right now?
Left Hand Brewing Launches CBD Seltzer Water
How Far Should We Let CBD Go?
The ABCs of CBD in Colorado
Chris Van Dusen: The products and claims companies are currently making are getting out of hand. While we fully support and acknowledge the benefits of CBD, until further studies are conducted and the FDA passes formal regulation, companies should not be making any medical claims on behalf of CBD products. As leaders in the industry, our mission is to provide the highest-quality hemp-derived CBD products at fair prices. Luckily, there are other excellent companies in the industry who are also providing high-quality products that are actually effective.
However, there are still poor trends throughout the industry and companies selling ridiculous CBD products, which nullify the importance of CBD. These companies are adding the three little letters ‘CBD’ to products like toothpicks and candles, making outrageous claims, being deceitful about the CBD potency and lacking transparency about where the CBD in these products is coming from. Thus, we launched this campaign in order to put the industry on notice and make a call to action to consumers to pay attention. Together we need to stop this amazing compound from being diminished to a trending buzzword.
Is there a line that should be drawn for how we consume CBD?
Yes, absolutely. As a company that is consistently engaged in R&D with the goal of providing consumers access to innovative and effective delivery methods, we know what works and what doesn’t. When we see products that play on different ways to consume CBD that provide little to no bioavailability, we can only encourage consumers to educate themselves to avoid wasting their money. We highly recommend downloading a free copy of the Ultimate CBD User Guide on our website, which specifically details the various delivery methods of recommended CBD products.
CBDistillery chief marketing officer Chris Van Dusen
What about how we talk about CBD?
The discussion around CBD needs to evolve as more studies and research become available. Currently, companies should stick to what we actually know, which is how CBD is the most abundant of the 113-plus potentially beneficial cannabinoids found in the plant cannabis sativa L. Unlike THC, found in the marijuana plant, CBD does not produce any psychoactive or "high" effects, and it supplements the endocannabinoid system, which plays a vital role in optimal human performance. By talking about these facts and directing the focus on consumer education for what to look for when purchasing CBD products, we can hopefully stop the spread of false information that will skew the public’s perception.
Where does the federal government's oversight (or lack thereof) play a role in the company's inspiration for this campaign?
With over 3,000 companies currently occupying the space, CBDistillery's Gimmick-Free campaign was born out of a necessity to highlight the misuse of CBD that has spread throughout the industry. As industry leaders, we are taking on the responsibility to set the standards, democratize CBD and provide a call to action for consumers to pay attention and look beyond the marketing ploys before making purchasing decisions.
How can consumers figure out if the CBD products they're buying are tested and verified by proper labs and regulators?
Reputable companies publish their third-party test results on their websites and packaging. Products and ingredients are third-party tested for potency, residual solvents, heavy metals and to ensure that delta-9 THC levels do not exceed 0.3 percent. Even though there is no current FDA regulation, consumers should check to see if the company is certified by the U.S. Hemp Authority, which sets the most stringent guidelines in the industry to ensure a safe product. Consumers should also be able to scan a QR code on their product in order to view test results for their exact batch.
Checking all of these boxes will ensure their product is a high-quality one that is as pure and potent as the manufacturer claims. At CBDistillery, we proudly display all of this information on our labeling, packaging and website, and highlight it in our educational materials, making it easily digestible and simple for our customers to make an informed decision.
We've seen CBD-infused hot dogs and firewood. What are some of the most ridiculous CBD products you've seen marketed?
Where do we begin?! From a bioavailability standpoint, there are plenty of ridiculous products that consumers are being targeted with. Products like CBD mascara, toothpicks, air diffusers and candles are great examples, as they really embody the call for this campaign. Slapping those three little letters before any old product really nullifies the actual importance of CBD, and makes education in our industry that much more challenging. As a company founded on transparency, we will always stick to products that are proven to be effective, without any gimmicks.

Iran Nuclear NewsAP Interview: IAEA head seeks openness from Iran
his organization cannot be sure that Iran is not secretly working on nuclear arms, in comments reflecting disappointment with the collapse of talks between Tehran and six world powers.
VIENNAams – … "
Expectations had been low for the Istanbul meeting. So the six powers – the U.S., China, Russia, Britain France and Germany – had avoided too much emphasis on their main demand: an end to uranium enrichment, as called for by the U.N. Security Council.
Iran's enrichment program is of international interest because the process can create both nuclear fuel and fissile nuclear warhead material. While Iran insists it wants to enrich uranium only to run a nuclear reactor network, its nuclear secrecy, refusal to accept fuel from abroad and resistance to IAEA efforts to follow up on suspicions of covert experiments with components of a nuclear weapons program have heightened concerns.
Because of Iran's rejection of talks on enrichment, Iran's interlocutors instead had come to the table with more modest hopes, including seeking concessions from Tehran as to what it was ready to show IAEA inspectors.h – once completed –
Such lack of transparency means that "we cannot provide an assurance of the absence of undeclared activities and facilities," said Amano.
Ira– something Amano denied.
"We have the mandate to have clarification on these issues," Amano said, citing U.N. Security Council resolutions urging Iran to cooperate with the agency on clearing up the allegations.

"They came at me pretty good," said Hines. "The Boonsboro game was big, but this one was huge tonight and the next one gets even bigger."
"I told them they had to keep the pressure on," Reyes said. "(Beall) was becoming dominant in their attack and we had to respond."

A "corrected" Trio
July 1, 2010trio started out just about as wrong as it could have been. Thanks to fellow member,Heiko, I was able to remove the "offending" medals and ribbon devices and end up with what I think is a nice little group.
I won't go into a lot of detail about the way this group looked but if you are interested here is the link.
http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=44369
I actually like it better now and I ended up with a Silesian Eagle 2nd Class (presently awaiting the proper ribbon to arrive) and a Legion of Merit medal, neither of which I had in the collection before. The only draw back was that I was required by the collector's code to add a Silesian Eagle 1st Class to the collection as well.
It's not that I wanted to add a 1st Class, but the code is the code.
In case you don't bother to read the other post, I used nylon thread to attach the proper medals. In that way future collectors SHOULD figure out that the medals were added long after the original group was awarded.
Edited July 1, 2010 by Brian Wolfe
Here is the reverse. I think you can see the nylon thread in the photo. I could have used the same black thread that was used on the "original" group but I didn't feel comfortable doing that. We have to remember that we are only the custodians of our collection and some day it will be in the hands of other collectors. Therefore any changes or repairs should either be documented, reversable to its original state or made obvious, as in this case.
Good job on the restoration of this bar to its proper state.
Thanks for the comment VtwinVince.


Further disappointment for Neurology Patients - Ni Chuilin
27i Chuilin said tonight that patients misdiagnosed in the Neurology scandal are very concerned that they will not get the truth about what happened to them.
“The Medical Practitioners Tribunal recently approved Dr Michael Watt's application for voluntary erasure and today the General Medical Council has informed the neurology scandal victims and their families that they will not challenge the tribunal's decision.
“This decision by the General Medical Council is another massive disappointment for the patients of Dr Watt and their loved ones.
“These decisions are further compounding the stress and suffering of victims and their families who have already gone through so much.
“These are patients who have suffered grievous trauma as a result of misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment.
“Itruth and accountability.
“These victims and their families are entitled to a thorough and transparent process that fully investigates this scandal and leaves no stone unturned in establishing the truth.
“Sinn Féin will continuer campaign for truth and accountability.”


Hello I’m alive and well. I haven’t updated in quite a while, and though my blog has been a bit quiet, life has been quite exciting this summer! I meant to write about our training camp weekend for Western States, but never got around to it and then the actual race happened, so this post is only 2 months behind.
Western States is like the Boston marathon of ultra running. It’s the grand daddy of all ultras, mainly because it is how 100 mile races got started in the first place! We go through a similar qualification/lottery system as the Boston marathon, though the qualifying times aren’t nearly as hard (sub 11 hr 50 mile run would qualify you), but the lottery is much harder to get into. Just because you have a qualifying time doesn’t mean you automatically get in. Last December, thousands of hopeful runners (me included) crossed our fingers and toes hoping to get a lucky spot in the race. Unfortunately, I didn’t get in, as my odds were pretty low to begin with since it was my first year applying, but one of my friends did! I paced Helen at San Diego 100 for her first 100 last summer and was thrilled to be a part of this epic race. One of the unique features about this race is their Memorial weekend training camp where anyone can sign up for any or all of the three days and run the last 70 miles of the race course. For being a training run, they did a great job with all the shuttling of runners from point A to point B everyday, well stocked aid stations along the training route and even post run food for everyone that signed up. It was like a low key race without the timing chip, shirt or medal, who needs those things anyways?
Day 1 Robinson Flats to Forresthill 32 miles
We drove to Sacramento Friday afternoon, sat in Memorial day traffic for hours and hours, finally got to our motel around 11PM, our car decided to go on vacation as well, thus giving us around 3 hours of sleep the night before running 32 miles. Happy training camp, indeed! However, we all woke up at the crack of dawn Saturday morning, eager to tackle the miles of beautiful trails ahead. What better way to spend a Memorial day weekend running on some of the most scenic and historical trails with a bunch of other crazy nuts?
Going to Sacramento for the weekend, it looked like it would be a pretty hot weekend, so in went the shorts, tank tops and summer dresses. Even a bathing suit since we had a pool in our hotel. You can imagine my surprise when we arrived to this…
No one said anything about snow! I layered up with all the clothing I brought and used my Buff as a headband to keep my ears warm, not exactly the most color coordinated outfit, but it did the trick and by the end of the run, we were all peeling off our layers. I felt pretty good this first day, maybe due to a slow start in the beginning as we trudged up the hill in snow.
It was fun running with so many friends from L.A. and those that lived up north who also came out. There was no pressure to go fast or anything, so we all took our time, snapped pics, tweeted/facebooked/instagrammed (okay maybe just me) and played on the trails since we had pretty much the whole day to explore.
There were course markings to follow, but for the most part, since there were so many runners out, it was hard to get lost (well except that one time…). The Western States trail is also really well marked and maintained making it easy to navigate. The aid stations were the best I have ever seen! FullI don’t know if it was the mileage or the fact that it was really cold, but I couldn’t get enough of all the great food they had out on the course! I am usually one to stick to gels for 30 miles or less, but I was leaving each aid with a handful of chips, animal crackers, PB&J sandwich quarters and cheez-its. It’s a miracle I made it to the end of each day without a stomach ache, or out of each aid station for that matter. Trail running is probably the only time I eat this kind of food, but it sure tastes good when you’ve been out on the trail for a long time. Heck, anything tastes good on the trail.
I mainly stuck with these two goofballs for most of the first day. We were all going at a similar pace (or they felt bad for leaving me behind) and enjoying each other’s company and time flew by. Before we knew it, we were ending our first day at training camp.
There were two notable climbs during the first day, Devil’s Thumb and Michigan Bluff where I dragged ass up the hill while getting passed. I did however make a few friends during these climbs which helped to pass the time. I thought Devil’s Thumb was a lot harder even though it was a shorter climb but with a more intense elevation gain, whereas Michigan Bluff was a longer gradual climb. Apparently there was a cool rock that looked like a ‘Devil’s Thumb’ at the top of the climb, but it was too foggy to see or I just didn’t care enough to look for it.
Such an amazing trail with wonderful views. I was actually really surprised by how green everything was, it reminded me of running in Oregon.
We ended Day 1 with a dinner with a bunch of other runners at Auburn Alehouse and promptly passed out. I couldn’t wait for Day 2 to begin.
Day 2 Forresthill to Rucky Chucky River Crossing 19 miles
Given the mileage from the day before, we were all feeling it the next day so it was nice to see everyone in the same boat and running with sore legs down the trail. However, this day also promised to be the most runnable (and fast) section of the entire course. I had to pay attention to all the trail markings since this would be the section I would end up pacing during the race at night. Luckily, the Western States Trail is well marked and there were barely any places you could really veer off course. I’m sure this is also the reason why Helen decided to have me pace this section given my track record of getting lost. She wasn’t taking any chances! On this day, my running partner in crime was Derrick who lives in Sacramento. It was nice to play catch up the entire time until he dropped me during the last 3 mile climb out to our cars, but I forgive him, mainly because of this. We started at Forresthill where we had left off the day before with a gentle rolling downhill to the first aid. This would be around Mile 60 in the actual race and the first place where a pacer could jump in. Quads were screaming a bit, but I love downhills so really didn’t mind it so much. Meg joined for part of the way before turning back, she had a marathon the week after, but still came up to spend a fun weekend on the trails with us. We ran on rolling single track, caught glimpses of the American River below while making our way down the mountain. There were a couple steep climbs, but nothing too bad unlike the day before. For the most part, it was the most enjoyable and fastest section of the race with more stunning views and single track trails.
Once we hit the Rucky Chucky river crossing, around Mile 16 for the day, Mile 80 during the actual race, we had the option of going down to the river to cool off before climbing 3 miles out to our cars to end day 2. During the actual race, there would be a rope set up for runners to hold onto so they could cross the river an. If water levels were high, they would have a raft set up. Yes, an actual raft! After hitting the last aid station, we decided to make our way down to the river to cool off since it was a lot warmer than the previous day. Once we got down to the river, we saw lots of runners bath
However, the water was not exactly warm! It was actually freezing cold and I could barely stand in the water for more than a minute before having to jump out. I couldn’t believe some people were practically swimming in there. An ice bath indeed.
We ended up spending quite some time down there before we finally pulled ourselves together for the final 3 mile climb out to our cars. It was a fairly gradual climb, but hard to get moving again after resting for so long. With the sun beating down on us, my clothes dried almost instantly. Derrick decided he had enough of my company for the day and ran ahead while constantly shouting back that we were almost there. I was so happy to see the pavement with a human finish line.
Since I had to work the next day, I opted out of the third and final day which ended at the finish. It was an amazing weekend playing on the trails with so many old and new friends. I’m glad I got to be a part of it and I can’t wait to go back next year.
Wow. That sounds like an amazing experience! Really enjoyed the post and your pics.
Nice summary! Maybe my favorite event this year so far. I want to do this again next year…
Good to see you’re still alive! Hah I so did not drop you! I was just clearing the cobwebs for you. Such a fun weekend and a blast running with you. Much less stressful than AR 😉
