U.K. floods: Should we expect more of the same?
Last week we examined the impact of the recent U.K. floods on the re/insurance industry. This leads us to ask what we should expect in the future. The U.K. December floods provided a useful case study on the performance of modelling technology, and perhaps provide a touch point to help assess how reliable they are currently.
How Frequently May We Expect Such Extreme River Flows to Hit Urban Areas?
This article is the second in a three-part series about flooding in the U.K.
To help address this question let us turn to flood mapping and specifically the estimation of extreme river flows. If we assume that the return period of river flows in Carlisle in 2005 and in 2015 were both a 1-in-200 probability, the probability of getting two such flows in a 10-year period is around 0.11%.
This is a very small chance.
This raises the question over how robust the flow records are and whether we have enough historical data to effectively estimate such extremes. But growing scientific consensus suggests, given natural climate variability and urbanisation trends, such record river flows may occur more frequently in future.
This should be put into context. There are over 1,500 stream gauges in the U.K., measuring volumetric discharge (or 'flow'). By making a few assumptions, the chances of getting two locations, such as Carlisle, experiencing extreme flows in a 10-year period is over 80% – so a very high chance. If extreme rainfall is more likely going forward, then it follows that we should not be surprised to see such extreme river flows every few years.
Figure 1 (above) illustrates the 2015 winter rainfall (on left-hand side) compared to the long-term average, highlighting the above-average rainfall impacting the northeast. On the right-hand side, the figure depicts, in red, the river-flow gauges where records were set and compares it with few representative gauges across England and Wales. The right-hand chart demonstrates that for many other parts of the country, the flow discharges were within the expected bands and that the December flooding was indeed very localised.
Are We in a Flood-Rich Period?
This extreme – yet localised – rainfall experience should not be surprising if, as seems likely, we consider that we are going through a 'flood-rich' period.
Looking at the winter rainfall from the early 1900's, the interdecadal variability demonstrates periods where the moving average exhibits both cycles of reduced ('flood-poor') and elevated ('flood-rich') periods, respectively (blue dotted line in Figure 2).
During 'flood-rich' periods, the natural rainfall volatility increases and so, given that the U.K. appears to be in a 'flood-rich' period, the extreme rainfall recently observed should be expected more often.
The December 2015, events were driven by a phenomenon termed an 'atmospheric river', where a slow-moving front aligned with the atmospheric flow generated pulses of heavy rainfall that kept affecting the same area. Figure 3 illustrates that the December 2015 weather system was similar to ones generating flooding in 2009 and 2005.
In conclusion, although we experienced record-breaking localised flooding in December 2015, we should not be surprised to see such extreme river flows on any given year at a national level. In addition, the U.K. is most likely going through a 'flood-rich' period, which increases natural rainfall volatility, therefore increasing the likelihood of extreme rainfall events.
With extreme rainfall likely to occur more frequently, it is important that the insurance industry is prepared for these events by improving their flood risk quantification and employing the tools that can help them.
This blog is the second in a three part series: next week we will explore what needs to be done to make the industry more resilience, whether flood defences are enough to protect communities and how modelling can help to defend against these risks.

Nickey Maxwell "Nick" Van Exel (Kenosha, 27 de novembro de 1971) é um ex-jogador e treinador norte-americano de basquete profissional. Atualmente, ele é assistente técnico do Atlanta Hawks na National Basketball Association (NBA).

Primeiros anos
Van Exel foi criado principalmente por sua mãe, Joyce. Ele frequentou a St. Joseph High School, uma escola particular em Kenosha, Wisconsin. Ele jogou de 1987 a 1989 e marcou 1.282 pontos, incluindo 772 em seu última ano. Ele liderou o torneio estadual WISAA (escolas particulares) em pontuação quando sua equipe perdeu nas finais nos seus últimos dois anos.

Carreira universitária
Van Exel queria jogar basquete universitário, mas suas notas não eram altas o suficiente para se qualificar para um programa de primeira linha, então ele foi para Trinity Valley Community College por dois anos. Ele se aplicou em seus estudos e se qualificou para se matricular na Universidade de Cincinnati.

Em 1991-92, com Van Exel como armador inicial com médias de 12,3 pontos e 2,9 assistências, os Bearcats tiveram um recorde de 29-5 e chegaram ao Final Four do Torneio da NCAA, onde foram derrotados por Michigan e seus "Fab Five".

Em seu último ano, Van Exel liderou Cincinnati com médias de 18,3 pontos e 4,5 assistências e levou o time ao Elite Eight do Torneio da NCAA.

Em apenas duas temporadas, ele se tornou o líder de todos os tempos de Cincinnati em arremessos de três pontos feitos (147), tentados (411) e porcentagem de acertos (35%). Esses recordes já foram superados.

Carreira profissional
Em uma carreira de 13 anos na NBA, Van Exel jogou pelo San Antonio Spurs, Portland Trail Blazers, Golden State Warriors, Dallas Mavericks, Denver Nuggets e Los Angeles Lakers.

A carreira de Van Exel começou quando ele foi selecionado pelo Los Angeles Lakers como a 37ª escolha geral do Draft da NBA de 1993. Van Exel e Eddie Jones foram a peça central do plano de reconstrução dos Lakers após o fim do Showtime no início dos anos 90. Van Exel era conhecido por suas sequências de arremessos e velocidade, ganhando-lhe o apelido de "Nick the Quick".

Durante sua carreira com os Lakers, Van Exel teve médias de 14,9 pontos e 7,3 assistências, terminando no top 10 da NBA nessa categoria duas vezes. Em 1996, durante um jogo contra o Denver Nuggets, ele empurrou um árbitro, resultando em expulsão, suspensão de sete jogos e multa de US$ 187.000.

Em 24 de junho de 1998, após cinco temporadas como armador titular, Van Exel foi negociado com o Denver Nuggets por Tony Battie e Tyronn Lue.

Jogando em um time dos Nuggets que era um dos piores da liga, Van Exel alcançou vários recordes na carreira. Ao longo de quatro temporadas, ele teve médias de 17,7 pontos e 8,4 assistências, com média de 21,4 pontos em 45 jogos da temporada de 2001-02.

Em 21 de fevereiro de 2002, ele foi negociado pelos Nuggets, junto com Raef LaFrentz, Avery Johnson e Tariq Abdul-Wahad, para o Dallas Mavericks por Juwan Howard, Donnell Harvey, Tim Hardaway e uma escolha de primeira rodada de 2002.

Em Dallas, Van Exel desempenhou um papel menor mas contribuiu efetivamente marcando os principais arremessos de três pontos. Ele teve médias de 12,5 pontos durante a temporada de 2002-03 e quase 20 pontos nos playoffs de 2003, carregando a carga ofensiva dos Mavericks em uma série apertada contra o Sacramento Kings.

Em 18 de agosto de 2003, Van Exel foi negociado, junto com Evan Eschmeyer, Avery Johnson, Popeye Jones e Antoine Rigaudeau, para o Golden State Warriors em troca de Antawn Jamison, Chris Mills, Danny Fortson e Jiří Welsch. Durante a temporada de 2003-04, ele jogou em 39 jogos e teve médias de 12,6 pontos e 5,3 assistências.

Em 20 de julho de 2004, ele foi negociado para o Portland Trail Blazers em troca de Dale Davis e Dan Dickau. Com os Blazers, ele jogou em apenas 53 jogos com média de 11,0 pontos.

Van Exel foi dispensado por Portland em 3 de agosto de 2005 e ele assinou com o San Antonio Spurs em 29 de agosto. Após a assinatura, Van Exel afirmou que seria sua última temporada na NBA. Devido a lesões no joelho e no cotovelo, ele jogou apenas 65 jogos durante a temporada de 2005-06 e teve médias de 5,5 pontos. Nos playoffs, o San Antonio foi eliminado pelo Dallas Mavericks em uma série que durou sete jogos. Dois dias depois, Tony Kornheiser e Michael Wilbon da ESPN relataram em seu programa Pardon the Interruption que Van Exel logo anunciaria sua aposentadoria.

Carreira como treinador
A Texas Southern University contratou Van Exel como assistente técnico do time de basquete masculino em 15 de outubro de 2009.

Em 8 de setembro de 2010, o Atlanta Hawks contratou Van Exel como instrutor de desenvolvimento de jogadores. Van Exel permaneceu nessa posição nas temporadas de 2010-11, 2011-12 e 2012-13. Em 2013-14, ele atuou como assistente técnico do Milwaukee Bucks.

Em 8 de julho de 2015, Van Exel foi nomeado treinador do Texas Legends na D-League substituindo Eduardo Nájera.

Em 8 de junho de 2016, Van Exel foi contratado pelo Memphis Grizzlies para atuar como assistente técnico.

Depois de dois anos como olheiro do Dallas Mavericks, Van Exel retornou aos Hawks como assistente técnico em 25 de agosto de 2021.

Vida pessoal
Van Exel apareceu uma vez em um episódio do MTV Cribs.

Em 31 de janeiro de 2013, o filho de 22 anos de Van Exel, Nickey Van Exel, foi condenado por assassinar seu amigo e sentenciado a 60 anos de prisão. Nickey atirou fatalmente em seu melhor amigo e jogou seu corpo no lago Ray Hubbard. Isso foi feito com medo de que seu amigo, Bradley Eyo, contasse às autoridades sobre uma série de roubos que os dois cometeram juntos.

This business group consists of more then 5 paint manufacturers, among which the Latin American Paint Corporation. LAPC was founded in 1955 and now is the biggest paint and painting company of Central America. They manufature, distribute, commercialize paints and coatings for different parts of the market. From decorative painting to maintenance, industrial painting, automobiles, etc. This is done through independent, specialized commercialisors that operate in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. They include their own salesforces, distribution channals and storage.
In Nicaragua the paint arrives in Ticuantepe and from that point the Nicaraguan affiliate is responsible for the sales and distribution. They use various brandnames. For the retail market they count with two separate brands that count with one sales teams per brand with each 20 salesmen divided over 3 subteams.
The team managers of each brand speak English. During your internship you can first learn how each step of the sales process is now and then analyse it to see how this can be more efficient timewise and financially but also an advice can be written on how to be a better employer and/or customer (retailers) satisfaction can be researched, analysed and adviced upon.
This all probably sounds more fancy that is. The retailers are in general small and medium sized hardware stores, work conditions are quiet hard for the salesmen (transportation by motorcycle, bussy traffic, heat) modernization is lacking in this company. At the other hand they are working on this and for example recently made a modern, beautiful website with modern services.
But there is still a lot to be improved!
One of the team managers would be your internship supervisor. They speak English and have a degree at bachelor level.
Grupo Solid es la unión de más de cinco empresas manufactureras, entre las cuales se sitúa LAPCO (Latin American Paint Corporation).
Fundada en 1955 LAPCO es hoy la compañía productora de pinturas y aplicadores más grande de Centroamérica. Lapco manufactura, distribuye y comercializa pinturas y recubrimientos para los distintos usos del mercado, desde la decoración hasta el mantenimiento y el repintado industrial y automotriz, a través de varios canales especializados e independientes de comercialización, con operaciones propias en Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras (San Pedro Sula y Tegucigalpa), Nicaragua, Costa Rica y Panamá, que incluyen fuerzas de ventas, red de distribución y bodegas propias.
Granada is a beautiful colonial town. It is one of the touristic highlights of Nicaragua. Because of this, there are also many international restaurants, bars and hotels. You can also find other facilities that live up to Western standards such as gyms, swimmingpools and supermarkets. Most students of On-Stage Nicaragua live in Granada.
r trip. Before arriving in Nicaragua you will receive a description with pictures about the place you will be staying.
On-Stage Nicaragua offers two types of housing; homestays and independant private rooms. Each housing option is unique, their terms differ a bit, but the level of comfort and facilities are comparable.
A host family allows you to practice your Spanish, and the more you practice the more you improve. Also you get to know the local cuisine and you will easily integrate in the Nicaraguan life. It's the way to learn Spanish quickly!
We recommend that during your Spanish course you will stay at a Nicaraguan family, this is included in the packages. You will have a private room and at most families you can stay with two persons at the same time. In general host families don't offer internet service, in case they do have internet you can use this for a small additional payment. You can use the internet for free at the Spanish school, in most bars and restaurants and at most volunteer- and internship organizations.
From Sunday evening till Saturday morning the meals are included. Most of the meals will be shared with one or more family members. If you eat vegetarian, or have allergies, or other dietary needs, then please let us know.
A stay with a host family has its advantages, but a stay in an independent private room has other advantages. What suits you best depends on your wishes and character. On-Stage offers private rooms for single-person use in several towns in Nicaragua. Most of the time there is a possibility to stay in a private room in a house or hostel near your language school/internship place/volunteer project. Often multiple students live in the houses at the same time. All these rooms meet Western basic conditions; they have access to a kitchen, wireless internet and proper sanitations. In case you are looking for housing options as a couple, or if you want more luxury, then this is often possible for an additional charge.
Why housing through On-Stage Nicaragua?
On-Stage puts a lot of effort in expanding and maintaining its network of housing possibilities. All housing options we offer are personally checked by On-Stage on safety, hygiene, comfort and location. Another great advantage is that you can live with/ nearby other international students/ volunteers.
On-Stage is an important partner for the house owners, the people working for On-Stage know the culture and speak the language. This makes that many problems are prevented or easily solved. If something unexpectedly occurs, On-stage will be there to help out.
Because of the longterm relation with On-Stage, the house owners have many advantages. They get a reasonable price, reliable payments and frequent reservations. This makes they can rely on the rental revenue and can use it for improving their quality of life. Which is much more constructive than just getting an 'extra' every once in a while.
On-Stage makes the payments, and by taking away this financial side of your stay the relation with your hostfamily/ landlord can be more relaxed.

For Not Shackling Kids to Work, Adults Must Behave
By Judge Steven Teske | October 5, 2015
We swore to protect the constitutional right to presumption of innocence — yet we parade children into our courtrooms shackled like animals.
Richard Ross Brings Photographs, Message to NYC's Vera Institute of Justice
By Craig Giammona | January 10, 2013
NEW YORK – Photographer Richard Ross can't pin down the moment he found his calling. It could have been on the concrete floor of the Harrison County Juvenile Detention Center in Biloxi, Miss., where he sat photographing a 12-year-old inmate in a yellow prison jumpsuit as he gazed at graffiti of spaceships and aliens scribbled on the wall of his tiny, decrepit cell. Maybe it was the young inmates trying to sleep on the floor of the intake room of a Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall in Los Angeles. Or the facility for young female offenders in California where the administrator told him all 88 residents were victims of sexual abuse. It could have been his visit with Ronald Franklin, who ran away from home at 13 after his mother tried to kill him, got involved in an armed carjacking and ended up in a Miami juvenile detention center where he waited four years without a trial.
What We're Here For: The Role and Purpose of Juvenile Detention in the 21st Century
By James Swift | December 26, 2012
Across the nation, perspectives on juvenile detention are changing. Several experts share how they believe modern juvenile justice is implementing more rehabilitative models and what the ultimate dividends may be for both young people and U.S. society as a whole
Mike Rollins, executive director of Coosa Valley Youth Services (CVYS) in Anniston, Ala., has been at the facility for more than 30 years. His experiences, however, aren't just limited to working there. At 17, Rollins walked into CVYS for the first time. "I was engaged in drug use," Rollins said.
Juvenile Hall is Often No Place for Kids
By Tamar Birckhead | October 29, 2012
DURHAM, N.C. — The local detention center where my juvenile clients are held while their cases are pending is called the "Youth Home." The irony of the label is never lost on me, as the contrast between the name and the reality could hardly be starker. The rundown building is surrounded by barbed wire. Inside, kids sleep in narrow locked cells, no different from what you'd find in an adult jail. They are subjected to strip searches and attend an hour or two of "school" in a crowded room filled with a random selection of books. Juveniles are detained here for a variety of reasons.
JJIE Presents: The Juvenile Justice Documentary Project, in Partnership with Calamari Productions
By Karen Edwards | October 8, 2012
Aaron, 18 years old and dressed in an oversized, light grey sweatshirt, sits blankly across from Intake Officer Clayton in an Indiana detention center while she asks him questions, his face betraying little emotion and his voice barely above a whisper. "I can't hear you," Clayton says, and Aaron repeats his answer, just loud enough for her to hear. As Clayton tells Aaron of an impending charge, shock flickers across his otherwise still face – this was the first he'd heard anything about it. Scenes such as this are common in the work of Calamari Productions. In an effort to continue bringing innovative, accurate insights on juvenile justice, The Juvenile Justice Information Exchange has formed a partnership with this award-winning production.
Juvenile Justice on Appeal: Making our System of Justice More Accountable
By Megan Annitto | September 4, 2012
When a young person is sent to a detention facility away from his or her family, it is a drastic intervention and most would agree that our system of justice should approach it with great care. Even if the child is not removed from the community and sent to live in juvenile detention, a delinquency case can now follow the child throughout her life in an increasing number of ways, such as DNA registration, housing access, and sentencing enhancements, and sex offender registration. As a result, on paper, our system of justice purports to provide this child with most of the same procedural checks that we provide to adults and sometimes, in theory, even more. But in reality, our system falls short. Too often, this entire process is left to one overburdened judge with no jury, little public access, sometimes no defender, and, as it turns out, little appellate oversight.
Experts Say New Federal Rule Brings Hope for LGBTQ Youth in Custody
By Christie Thompson | August 29, 2012
Given the high rate of torment suffered by LGBT youth in custody, activists applauded last week's finalizing of a landmark law that took nine years to get from adoption to implementation. Last Monday, the federal Department of Justice finalized a set of guidelines under the Prison Rape Elimination Act that could help stem the risks of the already at-risk LGBT population that is incarcerated, including minors. "We were already working on this issue while PREA was being passed, but this raises awareness," said Sarah Schriber, senior policy analyst with the Chicago-based Health and Medicine Policy Research group and community convener for the Illinois Court Involved LGBTQ Youth Task Force. According to Schriber, few juvenile detention center personnel even knew what the existing anti-harassment rules were. "A much harder part is making those policies meaningful on the ground," she said.
The $1 Million TED Talk
By Ryan Schill | July 3, 2012
Bryan Stevenson didn't want to go to TED, the genre-defying annual conference full of big thinkers and big ideas. He brushed it off, claimed he was too busy and, besides, he didn't know anything about it. He was preparing for a big case that was just days away – one that could result in a total ban on juveniles being sentenced to life without parole. Winning the case is a cornerstone goal of a litigation campaign by Equal Justice Initiative (EJI), the Alabama nonprofit Stevenson founded to fight discrimination and injustice in the legal system. "Well, I have to say I wasn't really interested in going," Stevenson said in a recent interview.
Alternatives to Youth Detention Conference Opens in Houston
By Leonard Witt | April 25, 2012
Texas State Senator John Whitmire came to the podium last night at the opening of the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI) conference in Houston and got right to the core work of the JDAI. Five years ago, he said, 5,000 youth in Texas were incarcerated at any one time. Today the number is down to 1,500. It has happened, he said, without compromising public safety. The JDAI is an initiative backed by the Annie E. Casey Foundation and according to its press release, "In 2010, JDAI sites detained 42 percent fewer youth — approximately 2,400 — on an average day than they had prior to implementing approaches that include electronic monitoring, community monitoring, and day or evening reporting centers."
For Once, Two Brothers Behind Bars Come Home For Christmas, Part One
By Bill Sanders | December 19, 2011
No one is 100 percent sure what Christmas in the Dykes' house will be like this year. But Zach Dykes, 17, a senior at metro Atlanta's Hillgrove High School, is pretty sure it'll be better than last year's. It almost has to be. Zach was in the Cobb County Youth Detention Center on drug charges until Christmas Eve last year. His older brother, Robbie, 23, was in prison, serving an 18-month prison sentence on a drug conviction.

Shawn Crysis?
SHAWN CRYSIS
Hip Hop Artist, Poet, Educator
Shawn Crysis is a hip-hop artist and poet from New Brunswick, New Jersey. His witty punchlines and smooth deliverables provide the listener with sonic nutrition. The mission of his music is to inspire, inform, and create an ambiance that offers a score to the soundtrack of your life.
Crysis began his musical journey at the lunch table in his freshman year of high school. He would use two quarters and his knuckles to provide the symphony for the daily cyphers. At this time in his life, becoming a lyricist was the last thing on his mind, that is, until he received a Sidekick for his birthday. This is where his passion for writing grew. The first beats Crysis ever wrote to were Gang Starr's 'DWYCK'; Birdmans' 'Mo Milly'; and LL Cool J's 'Doin It.'
Once the writing ensued, the passion oozed out. It became a game of how to have fun but also incorporate hard-hitting bars. Dope similes and metaphors were the main ingredients. As Crysis began to write, he grew the confidence to share in front of his peers during cyphers and was commended on his bars, which led him to write profusely. After he graduated high school, Crysis enrolled in the School of Audio Engineering (SAE) in New York City. This experience helped him visualize his dreams, making them more tangible than ever before. However, 5 months into the program, he dropped out due to pressure.
After dropping out, Crysis fell into a mild depressive state. In this time frame, he discovered the art of poetry and the freedom that comes with unrestricted expression. His writing grew, and he performed in his first open mic in 2012 at Soul by the Pound, a local New Brunswick staple. The moment he got off stage was when he realized that is where he belonged. This created a passion for performing.
A highlight in Crysis' career was opening up for Talib Kweli. Crysis also performed at many well-known venues, including the world-renowned SOB's in NYC, World Live Cafe In Philadelphia, and countless spaces in the NY Tri-State Area. Another highlight in Crysis' career was being a part of the Dean's List Tour, where he performed at Universities across the east coast, including Brown, Syracuse, and UCONN. Here Crysis was able to grow his fan base organically. In addition, Crysis won the Daze Summit Competition in 2017 that awarded an all-expense-paid trip to Los Angeles, where he performed during the BET Award Ceremony week.
In 2015, Shawn released his first project entitled "Table for One," an ode to the dreams and ideologies of a social isolate. From there on, he released a total of 6 projects - those projects are "hangOn," "Is It The Hair?", "Nice to Meet U" "S.H.E. (She's His Everything)" and "Before the Summer's Over." Currently, Shawn is set to drop his next album, "WNDRR" (pronounced wanderer) June 2021. Most recently, he dropped a video to his single "Hallelujah" directed by Kim "KKimmestry" Hill.
When it's all said and done, more is to be done than said, and every day Shawn Crysis is working towards that mission. Through the power of music, spoken word poetry, and opening up an array of colorful conversations, he looks to add his value to the world by creating a positive space and narrative for the Black and Brown experience. You can either add or subtract in this life, and Shawn urges you to put in your two sense to get the world outta debt.

1) Save a list of your favorite wedding and engagement photo galleries.
Make sure you like the photos you see on their website. Are they well lit, composed and edited? Do you feel moved, inspired and impressed? Would you like your wedding photos to look consistent in style?
Make a list of the best websites. Be selective and honest to yourself, whose's work do you really love.
2) Take the reviews with a grain of salt.
Since the reviews became an industry in itself, please take them with a grain of salt. Are they too good to be true? written by the actual photographer? by brides who might be more or less objective and realistic or they suffer from buyers remorse syndrome? Are they written by real or fake brides? In the world of reviews websites and social media, it is very confusing.
We recommend you should trust vendors you have seen for yourself they did a fantastic job at a wedding you attended or even listen to word-of-mouth reviews from family and friends.
3) Allow enough time for your photos to be taken.
No matter how good a photographer is, he/she needs enough time to capture all the photos you should have. Make sure you ask your photographer how much effective shooting time he/she needs to cover your three must have photo sessions properly: your formal family photo session, your bridal party photo session and your romantic bride & groom photo session. Approximately 30 minutes for each of these three sessions should be sufficient. Some photographers require more time.
4) Book two photographers, not one.
Unless your wedding is tiny and everything happens in the same location, hire a photographer that brings a second shooter for the day. There are too many moments, formals and detail shots throughout the day to be covered by just one photographer. The second photographer would capture the groom getting ready photos and a lot of different angle or photojournalistic style images throughout the day.
5) Do not overwhelm your photographer with "must have" photos you saved from Pinterest or similar websites.
When you book your photographer, you love their style. Asking them to mimic other photographers work it's stressful and they are wondering why were they chosen since you like other's artist's work. Allow them to do what they know best and they most likely will deliver the quality and style you loved when you hired them. The photographers produce the best results when they are trusted by their couples.
6) Choose a "Reveal" or "First look" before the Ceremony.
If your Ceremony is taking place at the wedding venue and it is followed immediately by the Cocktail Hour, you should see each other before the Ceremony.
In this case, the "reveal" moment prior to the Ceremony is the best decision you can make. Instead of rushing the photo session of the family, bridal party and your romantic session through the cocktail hour, you should arrange taking these before the Ceremony.
Your family, bridal party and yourselves would be able to enjoy the cocktail hour while your photographers would have time to properly cover your formal sessions well before the Ceremony.
7) Do not let your uncle to be your wedding photographer.
This a fine craft, not a point-and-shoot event. It a lot of time, talent and training to achieve the professional results you see in their portfolio. Uncle Bob or your college friend who is now a photography enthusiast cannot meet those requirements. Guaranteed. This is your wedding day and you deserve the best.
8) When planning your timeline, consider drive time, weather conditions and other details.
When planning your timeline, be realistic about the places you want to go for pictures. How far does it take to drive there? How much is the photo permit? Will the photographer and his team have spots to park? How much is the overtime for the limo, party bus etc?
9) Consider a fantastic wedding planner or choose a photographer who is also a great wedding planner.
A good wedding planner is priceless. Another option is to book a photographer who also helps you with wedding planning advice. Some are very good at it.
10) Sleep well, stay hydrated and eat well.
Especially a night before, try to sleep well. You will look and feel great – also it shows in the photos.
11) Book an Engagement Session with your photographer.
It's a great idea to work with your photographer prior to your wedding day. You will see her/him in action, get comfortable being in the front of the camera, getting a taste of her/his personality and building confidence. Plus you will have fantastic shots to share and tease on your social media and material to make those fabulous save-the-dates.
12) If possible, try to keep your hair stylist and make up artist with your for as long as you can.
13) Before the wedding, study bridal and fashion magazines poses that you like.
Your wedding photos will come out better if you spend a little time learning the poses that you like. Your photographer will guide and pose you as much as possible the day of the wedding but it helps tremendously if you are already familiar with some of the poses you would like to have captured.
14) Use teeth whitening products and services at your dentist.
A happy, confident smile for those stunning closeups is priceless. Always better than Photoshop which, by the way, also costs money.
15) Embrace the day and enjoy every second of your wedding!
Have a positive attitude, enjoy every moment of your wedding day, laugh, cry, dance and have a great time! It does show in the pictures. Do not let insignificant details upset you.

IAEA: Iran Stalled Nuclear Probe, Destroyed Evidence and Sabotaged Verification
by Omri Ceren | 09.07.14 1:13 pm
The U.N. nuclear watchdog (IAEA) on Friday released its quarterly report (.pdf) on Iran's obligations to enhance transparency around the country's nuclear program, concluding – per the description published by Reuters – that Tehran had straightforwardly "failed to address concerns about suspected atomic bomb research by an agreed deadline." The outlet also tersely assessed that the developments constituted "a setback to hopes for an end to an international stand-off over Tehran's atomic activity."
The IAEA's broad findings had been leaked earlier in the week, but the full report detailed how Iran has refused to disclose the so-called "possible military dimensions" (PMDs) of its program.
The Iranians are obligated by half a dozen binding United Nations Security Council resolutions to fulfill commitments across four broad areas: halting uranium enrichment, halting plutonium production, halting ballistic missile development, and coming clean on PMDs.
The PMD issue has traditionally been treated by analysts as more fundamental than the other 3 categories, inasmuch as it is a vital prerequisite to establishing a verification regime that would monitor Iranian compliance with any sort of agreement. Verifying that the Iranians have stopped their illicit work requires – in the most basic sense – an understanding of what that work was and is.
Former IAEA deputy director Olli Heinonen has explained that forcing Iran to come clean is necessary to "understand the scope of the program… and set[] the baseline for… successful monitoring," while Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP) Managing Director Michael Singh has been even more blunt:
The interim agreement permits Tehran to retain all of its nuclear capabilities without requiring it to disclose all about its work, past or present, related to nuclear weapons. This is a dangerous combination. Without insight into the full extent of Iran's clandestine nuclear activities, no amount of monitoring and inspection can provide true confidence that Iran lacks a parallel program beyond inspectors' view.
The IAEA's quarterly update was not promising. The Iranians had implemented just one of five promised transparency measures by an agreed August 25 deadline, then implemented another two after the deadline. The remaining two measures have not been met at all.
The Iranians also continued destroying parts of their Parchin military complex, where the IAEA suspects work related to the development of nuclear warheads took place:
The IAEA had also observed via satellite imagery "ongoing construction activity" at Iran's Parchin military base, the report said. Western officials believe Iran once conducted explosive tests there of relevance in developing a nuclear weapon and has sought to "cleanse" it of evidence since then. Iran has long denied U.N. nuclear inspectors access to the base.
The IAEA blasted the move as one that "likely… further undermined the Agency's ability to conduct effective verification." The agency also described itself as remaining "concerned about the possible existence in Iran of undisclosed nuclear related activities involving military related organizations, including activities related to the development of a nuclear payload for a missile" and noted that it had in recent years obtained a range of information demonstrating that "Iran has carried out activities that are relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device."

ALCS 2022
MusicMan (Michael Shopoff) October 19, 2022, 1:12am #21
I expect them to drop Meyers and add Martinez.

I forgot Myers was on the roster. Cosign.

I can't help but root for the Phillies.
JimR (Coach) October 19, 2022, 1:17am #24
I definitely am. My buddy's last team was the Phillies; he is rooting for them, and so am I.
Wow, Phillies just got fucked on that call.
BillyD October 19, 2022, 1:46am #26
Easy to root against a team that employs Soto. He's pulling that squat-dance bullshit out after almost every fucking pitch.
San Diego has turned into a douchebag factory.

Who is going to be bold enough to down one of the new Whataburger frito pie cheeseburgers? For the team, and all.
I'm happy to say I have the first Whataburger (far as I know) in GA just a few minutes away and opening any day now. Can't wait. Will order one when available.
Matt (Matt ) October 19, 2022, 3:03am #30

Marwin dropped from the Yankees roster.
MusicMan (Michael Shopoff) October 19, 2022, 5:21pm #37
I expect them to drop Meyers and add Martinez
Nailed it:
Astros add Seth Martinez to ALCS roster; Meyers off
HOUSTON -- The Astros set their American League Championship Series roster ahead of Wednesday's opener against the Yankees at Minute Maid Park. The roster includes 13 pitchers, two catchers, eight infielders and three outfielders, and the only change...
Doyce7 (Doyce Kirkland) October 19, 2022, 5:34pm #38
7 game series, 5 games in 5 days. It makes sense to get an extra pitcher on the roster
Jake will have a better 2023.
But it's 2022 and this is the right move.
BillyD October 19, 2022, 5:43pm #40
I thought it might be a third catcher. I was worried that was going to bite us in game three. Went about 11 innings after pinch hitting for Machete.


If you are in a rush for a quick lunch or just looking for a place to have a meeting around BGC particularly in High Street, then here's a very chill cafe to do your thing. They offer drinks, cakes, pastries, and even meals!
The place looks like a formal dining restaurant but has numerous green accents that make it feel fresh and lighter. They also have a separate enclosed space if you plan to do meetings and you need a place for it. Service wise, their staffs are quite attentive and fast if you have concerns or requests.
I was actually surprised that we were served with hot chocolate when we ordered Belgian dark choco (155 pesos) because the menu has a photo beside it (though with a different caption) but you'd gonna think that it's gonna be a cold drink as well but my friend and I got it both wrong. Anyway, this chocolate drink is good anyway.
Since we are about to go to The Gourmand Market event after, we decided to order items that wouldn't extremely fill our stomachs. We ordered Panini with sliced chips (23 pesos) and we're both surprised that the serving is big!
1. If you are up for elegant and cozy ambiance, this place is for you.
2. Price wise, it's not that expensive, a little cheaper than the coffee shops nearby but the quality of the food and drinks are both good.

Q: Computable Function and Predicate Question I See on Our Lecture note on Theory of Computation Course that:
....
The basic characteristic of a computable function is that there must be a finite procedure (an algorithm) telling how to compute the function. The models of computation listed above give different interpretations of what a procedure is and how it is used, but these interpretations share many properties.
....
it's conclude that:
F be a Computable Function. Predicate $\exists x( F(x)=y)$ is also computable.
everyone would help me and tutor some definition, why the above sentence is correct?
I think if this predicate is false, our Algorithm is not terminated and so  $\exists x( F(x)=y)$  is not computable. my conclusion is right?

A: The statement is not correct. For each Turing machine $T$ and input $n$, we can compute a computable function $F$ such that $F(x)=y$ if and only if $T$ halts in $x$ steps on input $n$. Thus if $\exists x, F(x) = y$ were computable we would be able to solve the halting problem.

Cardispan is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a dietary supplement, according to Drugs.com, which also notes that it is not available in the United States 1. The product is primarily sold over the Internet, with Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua and Panama as source locations. According to Drugs.com, the main ingredient in Cardispan is levocarnitine, which has a number of effects on the body 123.
If you are experiencing serious medical symptoms, seek emergency treatment immediately.
Though advertisements for Cardispan indicate that it is a weight-loss supplement, prescription guidelines at Drugs.com and the Mayo Clinic do not credit Cardispan with weight-loss effects 13. Neither Drugs.com nor the Mayo Clinic indicates that Cardispan has metabolic effects on the body that would lead to weight loss 13.
The Mayo Clinic reports that one side effect of supplements like Cardispan that contain levocarnitine is an increase in body odor 123. Drugs.com notes that the body odor associated with Cardispan is unpleasant 1.
Levocarnitine-based products like Cardispan can cause upset stomachs, nausea and vomiting, according to the Mayo Clinic and Drugs.com 123. Both consider these symptoms to be common side effects of levocarnitine 23. The Mayo Clinic notes that taking levocarnitine tablets with food may reduce these effects on the body but that most patients will experience it 23.
The Mayo Clinic and Drugs.com list diarrhea as a common side effect of levocarnitine-based supplements 23. Stomach cramping may also occur in conjunction with the diarrhea, and the Mayo Clinic adds general abdominal pain to the mix along with the cramps as a side effect of levocarnitine use 23.
Some individuals taking medications containing levocarnitine like Cardispan report allergic reactions 123. According to Drugs.com, these reactions can include rashes, hives, facial swelling and difficulty breathing. The Mayo Clinic notes that individuals experiencing these symptoms are having a severe reaction to the supplement and require emergency care 3.
According to the Mayo Clinic, using nutraceutical products such as Cardispan that contain levocarnitine can result in kidney malfunction 123. The Mayo Clinic reports that levocarnitine can build up in the bodily organs over time as usage continues, which can harm the kidneys 23. This is especially true if the person in question has a history of kidney disease.
People with a history of seizures will notice that their seizures are more frequent and of greater severity when they take supplements like Cardispan that contain levocarnitine, according to the Mayo Clinic 123.
Stomach cramping may also occur in conjunction with the diarrhea, and the Mayo Clinic adds general abdominal pain to the mix along with the cramps as a side effect of levocarnitine use 23.

Man wanted in Massachusetts double-homicide arrested in Easton
By Matt Coughlin
Waldos Rojas, sought in 2011 Massachusetts double-homicide, was arrested Wednesday at a home in Easton. (Northampton County Sheriff's Office)
A 30-year-old Easton man is accused of setting a Massachusetts home on fire and executing a man and woman as they fled the flames in 2011.
It is unclear how long Waldos Rojas has been living in Easton, but on Wednesday afternoon a team of U.S. Marshals, state police, state parole and probation officers and Northampton County sheriff's deputies arrested Rojas at a home on the 200 block of West Madison Street. The Essex County District Attorney's Office in Massachusetts filed a warrant for Rojas' arrest on two counts of murder and arson.
According to a news release issued by authorities in Massachusetts, after midnight, Oct. 17, 2011, Rojas set fire to the three-story, multi-residence home in Lawrence, Mass.
As Daniel Diaz, 29, and Leyda Elizabeth Hernandez, 25, fled, Rojas shot them in the head "execution-style," officials said. According to police, each victim was shot in the head multiple times. Rojas is also accused of setting the victims' vehicles on fire as well, according to county officials.
Rojas was arraigned shortly before 5 p.m. Wednesday before Northampton County Judge Jennifer Sletvold in Easton. He is being held without bail pending an extradition hearing.

I had a project which included controling a solenoid pushing a bulb to simulate a human heartbeat. The waveform needed to be a sine wave to simulate a Beats Per Minute (BPM). The output had these constraints: the signal out needed to be centered about 2.5 volts; the signal amplitude needed to be settable from 1% (2.5 volts) to 100% (0 to 5 volts); and the frequency for one complete cycle was settable between 0.5 Hz (30 BPM) and 3 Hz (180 BPM). (In reality, anything under 10% is basically a flatline because the solenoid could not respond fast enough.
Digital arbitrary waveform generators use a table for each type of waveform (sawtooth, square, etc). The generator typically copies the table to RAM, creating a "working" table with the desired amplitude. The system then walks the RAM table at the selected frequency, and outputs the current table entry to a DAC.
This particular project used an Arduino UNO, which uses an Atmel ATMega328 . The Arduino had several advantages: the client (a Mechanical Engineer) could get the IDE for free; the hardware was cheap and easily available, I really like Atmel MPUs; and this was a one-off prototype.
I used a control loop to also control two motors and a CLI. The best way to create a reliable waveform timing output was a timer ISR. I changed the frequency of the timer to change the frequency of the output waveform. This decision had three implications: the ISR used a RAM table; the ISR would only change the timer frequency at the end of walking the table; and the timer frequency is the output frequency divided by the length of the table.
The FLASH version is a byte array. The waveform is 72 steps, 100% amplitude values cycle 127->0->128->255->(value before 127).
I used the  Timer1 because the Arduino software does not use it, and Timer1 is a 16-bit timer. The critical thing is the fastest output (3 Hz) needed enough time between the 72 ISR calls for the table walk. If the ISR call frequency is too fast, the timer can starve the rest of the code in the control loop. Also, anytime you use an ISR, you need to spend the minimum amount of time in the ISR.
This is the table needed to set the  Timer1 OCR1A register. These values will be divided by NUM_WAVE_STEPS before setting the register. The table uses an increment of 5 BPM, thus NUM_BPM = 31.
The Timer1 Prescaler = clock/1024. Notice the largest value (31350) for 30 BPM. I had three choices: make the table as above; make the table an unsigned long (decreasing the prescaler and increasing the values), or pre-dividing the table values by NUM_WAVE_STEPS.
Thus, the fastest the ISR is called is 74311 clock cycles, which gives the rest of the colde plenty of time to execute.
The  does not have a DAC. The normal method is to use a timer in Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) mode, and convert the PWM to an analog value with an RC network.
The critical issues are providing enough PWM pulses per ISR call, and the RC network time constant. The client was providing the RC network, so I had to assure there were enough PWM pulses per ISR call to provide a smooth analog output.


Secondhand smoke (SHS) is a mixture of the side stream smoke released by a smoldering cigarette, pipe, hookah/waterpipe, or cigar, and the mainstream smoke exhaled by a smoker. SHS is a complex mixture containing thousands of chemicals, including formaldehyde, cyanide, carbon monoxide, ammonia, and nicotine. More than 250 of the chemicals in tobacco smoke are known to be harmful, and at least 69 are known to cause cancer. Secondhand aerosol (commonly incorrectly called "vapor" by the public) is a mixture of chemicals in the aerosol exhaled by electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) users. Many of the chemicals identified in SHS are present in secondhand aerosol, but many are at much lower concentrations. However, this aerosol may contain nanoparticles and other constituents not found in tobacco smoke, partially a result of various flavorings in ENDS.
Conclusive scientific evidence documents that SHS causes premature death and disease in children and adults who do not smoke. Exposure to SHS by adults has immediate adverse effects on the cardiovascular system, and long-term exposure to SHS causes coronary heart disease and lung cancer. Children exposed to SHS are at increased risk for sudden infant death syndrome, acute respiratory infections, middle ear disease, more severe asthma, respiratory symptoms, and slowed lung growth. At present there is little known about the impact of secondhand aerosol from ENDS. However, some preliminary studies have found the presence of nicotine and some other constituents in the aerosol. Current and future research will reveal the impact of second-hand aerosol from ENDS as well as the direct effects on the user.
There is no risk-free level of exposure to SHS, and only eliminating smoking in indoor spaces fully protects nonsmokers from exposure to SHS. Over the years, the focus of clean indoor air policies has shifted from partial restrictions on smoking to complete bans in a variety of environments, such as workplaces, bars, restaurants, and homes.

Manjaam wins the Johnny Brett At Ascot
Manjaam headed to Ascot on Saturday having recently finished a fine second in the Ulster Derby at Down Royal. The son of Tamayuz missed Royal Ascot due to the prevailing soft ground there but after a week of dry weather leading up to last weekend, the ground was ideal for him at the Berkshire venue. Pat Smullen soon had our colt in an ideal spot sat on the quarters of the favourite Shabbah who took the field along at an even tempo in the early stages of the race. As they hit the two furlong marker Manjaam hit the front and he was pressed on both sides in the gallop to the line. The gallant chestnut stuck his neck out and found plenty for pressure to hold the rallying Shabbah by a head with Dal Harraild finishing fast to finish a further head behind in third.
This valuable handicap is nearly always won by a good horse and subsequent Group Winner Dartmouth won this contest last year. The horses that looked the most progressive were to the fore here and we hope the form will hold up in the future. The handicapper cannot be too hard on Manjaam given the proximity of the second and the third and we hope he can remain competitive in some decent contests later in the season. Having started the season off a mark of 69 he has improved nearly two stone since his campaign began back at the end of February.
Congratulations to Manjaam's owner Mr Mohammed Jaber and also to the team at La Grange who have kept the hard work up in recent weeks. This was the thirty eighth winner of the season in 2016 and with a lot of unraced two year olds still to come we hope we can push on from here in the coming weeks.

The typical victim of a medical error wants fair compensation not a lawsuit. Most doctors would rather have their insurance companies pay legitimate claims than be forced to endure a lawsuit. Doctors and patient's are victims of the refusal of medical liability companies to pay legitimate claims. I have been handling medical malpractice cases for about 25 years and have never settled one with ProAssurance – Alabama's leading medical malpractice insurer – without filing a suit. If you think my experience is unique please have anyone you know who settled a claim with ProAssurance without filing a suit to post on this blog for all to see or email me directly if privacy is an issue.
Forcing litigation is unique to medical claims. In other injury cases most insurance companies try to settle legitimate claims. Not only is taking responsibility the "right" thing to do it can be cost effective.
The most effective way to reduce medical malpractice litigation would be for ProAssurance to settle legitimate claims before a suit is ever filed.
Healthcare Reform: We Don't Have A Problem??


Tween bedroom needs extra attention when decorating it because we have to deal with the gray area of childhood and teenager taste that sometimes make us confused. A nine-to-twelve-year-old-kid bedroom may be hard to define because it is the transition time of a kid. Designing it in a contemporary style would be a good alternative. However, contemporary does not mean you cannot go with classics but it means that make it more compact and simple. Timeless style may be a better definition for these tips for tween bedroom designing.
First, what we have to do is choosing the color of the room. We canâ't just over generalize that boy tween bedroom must go blue and girl tween bedroom must go pink. We can actually play with another colorâ'maybe orange, green, or any other color which are more unisex. We can take this safe road to make the timeless and universal tween bedroom design. We can also combine two colors so that the room would not be boring.
Next, we can deal with the furniture of the bedroom. Go get compact designed furniture because tween tend to wish feeling more mature. So, get the clear-cut and double functioned furniture in the bedroom. It can also save space and make the room more spacious. You can get bed with drawers underneath to store your tweenâ's stuff. You can also have bed that is integrated with the cabinet which is very compact. Upper shelf which is hanging on the wall can be your option to reduce the number of storage cabinet.
Last but not least, add personal touch and creative decoration to make the room livelier. You can add wall paper or paintings that suitable for their age. Otherwise, their favorite character movie or sport team posters can be stuck to the wall. Donâ't forget to adjust the lighting especially in their study space. Arm swing lamp can be a solution to reduce the number of lamp you use. Add long lean mirror because children at their age tend to start paying attention to their performance. Those are the tips for decorating tween bedroom with timeless look and compact design.


It is time to discover the real Aaron Burr. There is good red meat in this short 312-page volume, though I would have enjoyed deeper background on attitudes driving opposition to the Stamp Act of 1765. All in all, I'd bet it's not his fault, because if it was, Audible would have been all over him to redo such a crappy job. Daniel Webster of Massachusetts, a champion orator known for his eloquence, spoke for the North and its business class. I found it to be extremely well written, a page-turner from start to finish. Of the many books I have read on the 1753 to 1815 time period, this excellent work by Les Standiford stands out. I found it really amazing how close things were to not happening, that a simple change by the British or being even a little bit accommodating to the colonials might have completely changed history.
More than two hundred years ago, a group of British colonists in America decided that the conditions under which they were governed had become intolerable. This book should be read and enjoyed by all students of the era. Although these are the standard events covered in most histories of the War, Standiford manages to provide information not generally known to the average reader, and in much greater detail. Standiford tried to be neutral in presenting the story. The organization and building of such a strong radical force took time and strong conviction, and Samuel Adams was full of both. If you don't hear what I'm complaining about, or it doesn't bother you -- well, then it won't be a problem.
Knowing that their deeds - often directed at individuals and property - were illegal, and punishable by imprisonment and even death, these agitators plotted and conducted their missions in secret to protect their identities as well as the identities of those who supported them. Article first published as Book Review:Desperate Sons: Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry, John Hancock, and the Secret Bands of Radicals Who Led the Colonies to War by Les Standiford on Blogcritics. This recording is unbelievably bad. Who were these entrepreneurial men, ready to put their lives at stake in the pursuit of liberty? Resplendent with tales of backroom chicanery, bankruptcy, philanthropy, and personal idiosyncrasy, Meet You in Hell is a fitting successor to Les Standiford's masterly Last Train to Paradise. During that period, the British government tried to recoup some of there debt for protecting the colonies and their interests during the war. In so doing, we consistently inspect and grade each book using professional standards.
There is go Of the many books I have read on the 1753 to 1815 time period, this excellent work by Les Standiford stands out. Much has been written about Adams, Henry, Hancock and other Revolutionary patriots, but these histories tend to gloss the specific events that allowed the colonies to shift from disparate pockets of discontent to a unified force of rebellion against the British. Some good stuff about a few minor players and a recap of the post war efforts of the important guys couldn't save it from the tediousness that preceded. Many cities i This book covers the ten year period between the end of the French and Indian War and the start of the American Revolution. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Samuel Adams, John Adams, Paul Revere and John Hancock like you never have before. Standiford has taken us on a journey into the past, into the very lives of the men we find most interesting.
Yet to the Crown, and to many of the Sons' fellow colonists, the revolutionaries were terrorists who deserved death for their treason. With all the suspense and power of a historical action thriller, Standiford's Desperate Sons recounts the courage and tenacity of a hardy group that included Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry, and John Hancock—radical activists who were responsible for some of the most notorious events leading up to the American Revolution, from the Boston Tea Party to Paul Revere's fabled midnight ride. He sparked the colonies into revolt against Britain, which led to our becoming a new nation. The book also contains a few pearls of information that are most interesting. Standiford brings the pieces to life for us.
Many of the actions and happenings are documented, other are just told from bits and pieces passed down through generations, but there is no doubt that the men between these pages had an incendiary part of the happenings of the fate of all those in the colonies during the time before revolution raised its head. Absolutely worth reading for anyone with even a passing curiosity about the origins of America. I would have finished this in a single day had I picked it up in the morning rather than late afternoon. Unlike the histories from our early school years, Desperate Sons draws you in to the insidiousness of trade and taxation, and how it affected the early settlers. The writing style is designed to place us squarely in the middle of the action. This is not a comprehensive biography of Sam Adams.
But their partnership had a dark side, revealed most starkly by their brutal handling of the Homestead Steel Strike of 1892. Standiford makes a point to draw intriguing parallels to the current Occupy movement and other political grass-roots campaigns, arguing that the Sons of Liberty were successful because they garnered support from the general populace and didn't rely exclusively on the political elite. All opinions are my own based off my reading and understanding of the material. Yes, one should always strive to make a good first impression, but making a good last impression isn't a bad idea either. The actions set in motion a finely crafted set of events the progressively lead to the American Revolution. This is a fascinating read, taking you to the depths of flame that still flickers to this day.
But there are always at least two, if not many, sides to every story including this one. Other than that, the book is fascinating history, really connecting the dots between individual happenings while also laying out some information that is entirely new. It does have some interesting points about Albany and some other not as well covered part of the Sons of Liberty story but they were few and far between. Perhaps the stubborn and hotheaded partisans on both sides could have acted differently, but perhaps time and distance was too great for any possible reconciliation. The author does occasionally try to pick apart the motivations of the time in a bit of mild revisionism, but this is excusable. Standiford is not afraid to show the Sons of Liberty warts and all, and even mentions the historical vacillations of figures such as George Washington. The Revolution doesn't happen without them and we are indebted to these Patriots who refused to tolerate any compromising of their liberties.
An intriguing new look at the political and economic crises that prompted a secret society of American citizens into actions that incited the Revolutionary War. I was especially intrigued with the importance of the role of Samuel Adams who was a true radical of his time. Like the Robin Hood of legend, Marion and his men attacked from secret hideaways before melting back into the forest or swamp. It's filled with interesting anecdotes of the passionate group and it gives a rounded portrait of Samuel Adams as a leader of the Sons. Schools teach us the history in the fashion it has been taught for hundreds of years, yet there must be more. Washington trusted them; relied on them.
What this book explains, is the process by which the colonists resisted these taxes with the help of a radical group called the Sons of Liberty. Standiford has written several volumes of history after first turning his hand at a line of mysteries featuring his character hero, Deal. Ellis, author of Pulitzer Prize winner Founding Brothers and forthcoming Revolutionary Summer A groundbreaking narrative—a historical political thriller—that explores the role of the Sons of Liberty in the American Revolution. I just wasn't knowledgeable about how much, or how people reacted to it at the time, so I chose this book. Both authoritative and beautifully told, The Middle Ages is the full story of the thousand years between the fall of Rome and the Renaissance - a time that saw the rise of kings and emperors, the flowering of knighthood, the development of Europe, the increasing power of the Catholic Church, and the advent of the middle class. Great insights into why the Revolution began.

"We are not wholly bad or good, who live our lives under Milk Wood."*
*from "Under Milk Wood", 1954 radio drama by Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, commissioned by the BBC and later adapted for the stage.
Above: Victorian post box at corner of Milk Street and Gresham Street.
"Milk Street in the City of London, England, was the site of London's medieval milk market. It was the location of the parish church of St Mary Magdalen which was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666 and then of Honey Lane Market and the City of London School. The street was seriously damaged by German bombing during the Second World War and has since been completely rebuilt. Nothing remains of its former buildings.
The street runs between Gresham Street in the north and Cheapside in the south. The southern end beyond Russia Row is pedestrianised. On its western side it is joined to Wood Street by Compter Passage (pedestrianised). On its eastern side it is joined by Russia Row.
Archaeological investigations of a site on the corner of the modern Milk Street and Russia Row by the Museum of London in 1976–77 found Roman remains.
Milk Street is first mentioned as "Melecstrate" in a source dating from c. 1132–1150. It was the site of medieval London's milk market and is also recorded as "Melchstrate" (1227), "Melkestrate" (1231), "Melcstrate", "Melkstrete", "Milkstrate" (1278–79), "Milcstrate" (1279), and "Milkestretende". Sources record that there was a "great Fire in Milkstrete and Bread Street" in 1264.
Sir Thomas More, author of Utopia (1516) was born in Milk Street in February 1478 and a plaque at the north end of the street marks the approximate spot. The south end of the street was the site of the parish church of St Mary Magdalen before the church was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666. The parish was then merged with the adjacent St Lawrence Jewry and Honey Lane Market built on the site which at one time had 105 butchers' stalls. Edward Hatton noted in 1708 that the market was known for its meat, fish and poultry.
By 1835 the market had closed and the City of London School was built on the market site on the corner with Russia Row. It was paid for with money bequeathed for the purpose by John Carpenter, city clerk in the reign of King Henry V. It outgrew this site and in 1883 the school moved to the Victoria Embankment.
The street was seriously damaged by German bombing on 29 December 1940 at its southern end and at the north end on the western side. It has since been completely rebuilt with offices and some retail premises at ground level. The east side between Gresham Street and Russia Row is an office building of 386,000 square feet (35,900 m2) known as 30 Gresham Street that was developed by Land Securities in 2002–03. It was described at the time as "the biggest speculative office development in the capital".
As a result of Second World War bombing and post-war redevelopment, nothing remains of Milk Street's original buildings or of the small courts and alleys that once joined it on both sides: Mitre Court and Feathers Court on its western side, and Mumford Court and Honey Lane Market on the eastern side. Robin Hood Alley, which has also been called Robinson's Court, Robin Hood Court and Robin Court, once joined it to Russia Row but that alley also no longer exists."

The flowers are so lovely. My Mom is also easier to deal with if you come bearing gifts.
That is awkward with the receptionist. I don't know what I would do.
Your flowers look gorgeous! You are not pathetic sweetie. You are a social fun girl who wants more friends she can relate to. Nothing wrong with that.

Disaster Theory Preps for The Dying Side Of Life
Url: http://www.facebook.com/DisasterTheoryOfficial
Sound: http://www.reverbnation.com/disastertheory/song/30703173-hyperdrive
MAY 2, 2019 -- PITTSBURGH, PA
After months in the studio, the band Disaster Theory is preparing to release their debut album "Dying Side Of Life" on May 17, 2019.
According to the band's front man Mark Thomas, "The album is a culmination of months of work. Writing and recording, mixing and mastering can be a drawn out process."
After listening to the tracks on Dying Side Of Life, it is clear that it is not just a culmination of months of work, but seemingly a lifetime of anger and emotion as well.
With tracks such as I've Fallen Down, When It Turns On You, and Let It Rain, Thomas' lyrics seem to be a response to life experiences. It makes for a great listen.
"Hyperdrive," the first single from the album, has already spent two weeks on the radio to promote the release of the album and is approaching a likely three weeks. The band has promised to release a second single if Hyperdrive gets a third week of airplay.
In the midst of promoting the new album, it seems Thomas is not done offending people however. Just weeks before the album release, Thomas has released album art for the single "I'm Your God." The artwork has already offended many, as it depicts Thomas as a crucified Christ figure with crowds clambering for selfies and photos around him.
When asked about the imagery, Thomas said "You will always offend someone these days. There is no way to go through life in today's society without offending someone. There is meaning behind the artwork however and it's simply not as offensive as people perceive it to be. That was intentional however. No one pays attention to the bland. You have to get their attention. If they really look at the artwork however, there are hidden clues that give the piece's meaning."
Asked if he could give us some of the clues, he said "That's not for me to spell out to the masses. They're there, buried in the artwork itself. I would hate to give away the meaning before it has had a chance to piss everyone off."

``A short computer-generated proof of Abel's identity'' ( Elect. J. Comb. 3(2)(1996)[The Foata special issue] R16), by S. B. Ekhad and John Majewicz.
I was very frustrated that, initially, the WZ method, so successful with hypergeometric identities, could not handle Abel-type identities. My student, John Majewicz, found a way of enlarging the scope of the WZ method to such. The present little note WZizes the grand daddy of all Abel-type identities: the Abel identity itself.

Northwestern Medicine Physician is One of the First in U.S. to Implant Tiny Remote Cardiac Monitor

Like a third of all stroke patients, Barbara Manning of Chicago never knew what caused the medical event.
Now, Manning might be getting some answers as one of the first people in the United States living with a small cardiac monitoring device implanted under her skin. The device may provide clues into her stroke and how to possibly prevent another one.
Northwestern Medicine® electrophysiologist Rod Passman, MD, director of the Program for Atrial Fibrillation at the Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute, implanted the Medtronic Reveal LINQ Insertable Cardiac Monitor (ICM) System into Manning, 85, on February 24, 2014, the first implantation in the Midwest and one of the first in the nation.
The Reveal LINQ ICM is about one-third the size of a AAA battery, making it more than 85 percent smaller than other ICMs. While significantly smaller, the device is part of a system that allows physicians to continuously and wirelessly monitor a patient's heart for up to three years, with 20 percent more data memory than its larger predecessor.
While Reveal LINQ can monitor for palpitations or passing out episodes, it also helps doctors determine if patients suffer from atrial fibrillation, which can appear intermittently and without symptoms. Atrial fibrillation, the most common heart rhythm disorder, is a major cause of stroke but is difficult to detect.
"This device is constantly recording any abnormal rhythms of the heart," said Passman, who is also a professor of medicine-cardiology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. "In the case of atrial fibrillation, wearable monitors and symptoms are often insufficient in helping us detect the abnormal heartbeat. This device is a major step forward in the care of certain patients with stroke or other medical problems that may be caused by rhythm problems of the heart."
Reveal LINQ, which is inserted through a syringe and sits permanently just under the skin, remotely sends daily updates on Manning's heart rhythms through a small bedside monitor to Northwestern Medicine doctors. If Manning travels, the monitor travels with her, allowing her to transmit her heart rhythms from anywhere in the world. Previous monitors transmitted the data through a wand device placed over the implant.
"When I had a slight stroke at the beginning of November, it was a big surprise to everyone, including my internist," said Manning, a mother of four and grandmother to seven who is an active art collector and world traveler. "No one could figure out why. They did many tests and nothing showed up. They put on a heart monitor that hung around my neck that was a heck of a lot bigger than what is going inside me. I'm hoping this will help provide some clues."
In addition to its continuous and wireless monitoring capabilities, physicians can request notifications to alert them if their patients have had cardiac events. The Reveal LINQ ICM is indicated for patients who experience symptoms such as dizziness, palpitation, fainting and chest pain that may suggest a cardiac arrhythmia, and for patients at increased risk for cardiac arrhythmias.
Placed just beneath the skin through a small incision of less than 1 cm in the upper left side of the chest, the Reveal LINQ ICM is nearly invisible to the naked eye once inserted. The device is placed using a minimally invasive insertion procedure and requires no sedation and no stitches.
"It's a relatively painless procedure that allows patients to be constantly monitored," Passman said. "I think this is really going to revolutionize monitoring and diagnosing heart rhythm disorders."
