The important difference between Windows 10 and its previous versions – a new policy on promoting services within the operating system. Earlier, when users purchase Windows, they were getting some service-packs and forget about further functional updates after that. But today the situation has changed drastically. Together with Microsoft services integration in Windows 10, promotion on free update, Windows-As-Service strategy, now we can see ads in operating system. We will see if it was a good move in the nearest future, but right now we are going to show you how to disable ads that annoy users in Windows 10.
How to disable ads on the lock screen in Windows 10?
Nowadays tablets and transformers gained a great popularity among users all over the globe and it means that the lock screen is used much more often now. Microsoft developers integrated two solutions for ads in this part of the operating system.
How to disable ad banners?
Windows Spotlight is a special service, which changes the images displaying on your lock screen. That's a pretty useful option, but it also displaying annoying ads on the lock screen. In case you want to disable all full screen ads appearing (but still to be able to see specified images on the lock screen), you need to use applications like The Wall! Or Dynamic theme. At last, you can disable the lock screen at all if you don't need it.
Go to Settings –> Personalization –> Lock screen.
In Background menu list select Picture or Slide show.
In case it's needed, configure tools from Windows Store to change the image on the lock screen.
How to disable test ads on the lock screen in Windows 10?
Besides the full screen ads in Windows 10, Microsoft developers integrated an option to display tips, jokes and other information (and ads too).
Turn off Get fun facts, tips, and more from Windows and Cortana on your lock screen.
How to remove apps ads in Windows 10 Start menu?
Start menu is one of the main parts of Windows operating system, and Microsoft developers decided to integrate some ad links for recommended apps here. On our opinion these one must appear only in Windows Store, so we want to clear the Start menu from such links.
Go to Settings –> Personalization –> Start.
Turn off Occasionally show suggestions in Start.
From time to time Windows 10 can show you notifications with different suggestions. This one can invite you to use some system service or to switch Edge browser to use by default, but it also can propose you to purchase different applications in Windows Store.
Go to Settings –> System –> Notifications & actions.
Turn off Get tips, tricks, and suggestions as you use Windows.
How to disable ads in File Explorer in Windows 10?
Click on File –> Change folder and search options.
Find parameter Show sync provider notifications and check it off, after that click on Apply.
Keep in mind, that together with ads you will stop facing with some other (and maybe important for you!) OneDrive notifications in File Explorer.
How to get rid of the pre-installed third-party applications in Windows 10?
How to disable pre-installation of third-party applications Windows 10?
Do not connect to the Internet during Windows 10 installation process.
During the first run, you will notice a lot of download icons in your Start menu. Right click on every of those icon and click Unpin from Start. Do not do anything with the applications, that was already installed (for example, Microsoft Solitaire Collection).
After the first reboot, delete the applications that was already installed (like Microsoft Solitaire Collection).
Reboot your machine once again and only after that connect it to Internet.
How to delete pre-installed third-party applications in Windows 10?
Go to Settings –> System –> Apps and features (in Windows 10 1607) or Settings –> Apps –> Apps and features (in Windows 10 1703).
Click on the applications you don't need and click Delete button to delete them one by one.
In Windows 10 Creators Update developers added an option, that saves settings of these apps during the system update. Now, in case you deleted these pre-installed applications in Windows 10 1607, they won't be installed again after upgrading to Windows 10 1703. In case you perform a clean install, you should use the methods above to get rid of them or do it manually.
How to disable ads from Windows Store?
Go to Settings by clicking on account icon near the search field.
Turn off Show products on tile.
How to stop Windows 10 collecting data about your ads experience?
Besides ads displaying, Windows 10 also collects information about your experience when you are facing with ads. You are getting a special ID and Microsoft research your experience to show you more relevant ads. You can disable these functions during the installation or using system settings.
Go to Settings –> Privacy –> General.
Check off Let apps use my advertising ID for experiences across apps.
As you see, all ads in Windows 10 can be disabled. We don't sure if developers will do that in future, but it will be much more comfortable in case all the ads options would be at one place. But right now we recommend you to use these instructions to get rid of ads, recommended apps links and other advertising in Windows 10.

Jeff Siegel's Blog: Santa Anita Daily Workout Report, Day Makers, Analysis, and Wagering Strategies for Monday, May 25, 2020
Handicappers also are encouraged to access Jeff's Daily Santa Anita Workout Analysis (see below), an exclusive report containing commentary, fractional times, grades, and a link to the video of the actual workout by each race's key contenders.
Today's Day Makers:
Churchill Downs – 7th race. Post Time: 4:08 ET
2-Union Maiden (7/2)
Blew the break and lost all chance when a well-backed favorite at 4/5 in her debut at Gulfstream Park in February but closed a big gap to be a close fifth and galloped out full of run in a much better-than-looked performance. Away for three months, the daughter of Union Rags returns for C. Brown with a healthy, steady series of workouts, retains J. Castellano, and gets an extra half furlong to work with. Hopefully, she leaves with her field this time and if so she can make amends at 7/2 on the morning line.
Today's Workout Analysis: Click to view PDF File
RACE 1: Post 12:30 PT. Grade: B+
Use: 4-Mystic Flight-GB; 7-Big Runnuer; 8-Torosay
Forecast: Big Runnuer can fire fresh (won his debut) and has been victorious over this course and distance (again, in his debut). Away since December but with a healthy work tab that should have him fit and ready, the son of Stormy Atlantic is lightly-raced with further improvement likely and will be wearing blinkers for the first time, so he should be in the fray throughout. Reunited with "win rider" R. Fuentes, the lightly-raced 5-year-old is fast on figures and has the ideal stalking style to keep him free of trouble. At 7/2 on the morning line, he deserves top billing, but there are others in here that are quite capable as well, so he's not quite a single in our book. Torosay, back from Dubai where he hit the board in two starts in good company, has looked sharp in the a.m. and should return to his best form in this considerably softer first-level allowance dash. The Goldencents gelding broke his maiden easily over the local lawn at this trip last fall and on paper appears to be the most dangerous of the need-the-lead types. For a price, we'll toss in the English invader Mystic Flight-GB, listed at 12-1 on the morning line. Away since September of 2018, the gelding hasn't impressed in his recent workouts but all of his local preparation has been done on dirt, and he's clearly a grass specialist. Based on his Timeform numbers from a couple of years back, the R. Ellis-trained 5-year-old is more than good enough to act at this level and as a first-time Lasix user he could be dangerous over firm ground he apparently prefers.
RACE 2: Post 1:01 PT. Grade: C+
Use: 2-Hendavid; 6-Dyn O Mite; 7-Lozlovian
Forecast: We're largely guessing in this maiden 2-year-old sprint, so we're not going to get too involved other than to include the three logical main contenders in our rolling exotic play. Hendavid hails from a barn that specifically points its young stock for win-early performances at this meeting and the son of Overanalyze appears to have done some good work at the training center in Utah prior to his arrival. We'll put him on top while also including Dyn O Mite, certainly bred to be quick (Goldencents) and attracting F. Prat, who usually only rides first-time starting 2-year-olds if he gets a "story," and Lozlovian, a San Luis Rey Downs shipper with a couple of bullet workouts on his resume and with a pedigree (Rattlesnake Bridge) to be a quick type.
RACE 3: Post 1:32 PT. Grade: B
Use: 2-Colonial Creed; 4-Message
Forecast: Colonial Creed, in her second start off a long layoff, should be fitter today while returning to the main track and switching to F. Prat, so we'll give the Jimmy Creed filly a slight edge on top in a race that she projects to be the controlling speed (her preferred trip). Good recent workouts indicate the R. Baltas-trained filly is right on edge. Message disappointed in the La Canada S.-G2 after which she was given plenty of time off, and she, too, has been working like she's ready to bounce back in a big way for Baffert. She'll likely enjoy an ideal pace-stalking trip and have every chance from the quarter pole home. Both should be included in rolling exotic play.
RACE 4: Post 2:03 PT. Grade: B
Use: 4-Trouville; 5-Enriched by Deb; 11-Kelani Kim
Forecast: There appears to be three main players in this maiden $40,000 claiming extended sprint for fillies and mares. Trouville, in the frame in her four last starts and overdue for a win, may have found a field she can finally beat. She's reunited with F. Prat, has a good stalking style to allow for a trouble-free journey, and on pure numbers is good enough to win. Enriched By Deb flashed speed before gradually weakening in a maiden $50,000 affair here in February but has looked much improved in the a.m. since, so we're expecting a forward move from the R. Baltas-trained daughter of Munnings. She goes from A. Espinoza to J. Rosario, so there's that, too. Kelani Kim, drawn comfortably outside, has the route-to-sprint angle we like along with being a first-time-in-a-claimer play, so this Union Rags filly is a "must use" in rolling exotic play. Additionally, she's shown improvement in the a.m. and switches to A. Cedillo, so the M. Glatt-trained filly, already a contender based strictly on numbers, absolutely is a "must use."
RACE 5: Post 2:34 PT. Grade: B+
Use: 1-Stealthediamonds; 7-Jolie Olimpico-Brz
Forecast: We're going to try to get past the Monrovia S.-G2 using just two in our rolling exotics, but if you feel the need to spread a bit deeper, go right ahead. Jolie Olimpico-Brz was defeated for the first time in five career starts when she was worn down close home in the Buena Vista S.-G2 over a mile. She's back sprinting where she's clearly most comfortable, continues to look sharp in the a.m., and should bounce back with a huge effort in a race in which she projects to draft into an ideal second flight, stalking spot. Her triple-digit Beyer victory in the Las Cienegas S.-G3 over this course and distance in January makes her strictly the one to beat. Stealthediamonds in the most dangerous of the pace types and from the rail she has only one way to go, on the lead, every step of the way. Winner of the Sunshine Millions Filly & Mare Turf Sprint under these conditions earlier this year, the daughter of Unusual Heat always is tough to get by when she can control the proceedings from the start. If Surrender Now – the other speed in the field – doesn't keep her honest, the M. Puype-trained filly may take this group a very long way.
Use: 3-Ragtime Blues; 4-Scarto
Forecast: The recent private purchase Scarto arrives fit and ready following a sharp score in a listed stakes at Gulfstream Park and with two easy breezes over the Santa Anita main track for new trainer M. Puype the son of Paynter should be capable of picking up where he left off. He's very fast on speed figures but may settle into a stalker's role due to the presence of recent Oaklawn Park maiden winner Ragtime Blues, a hit-and-run winner for B. Baffert after doing all of his preparatory work at Santa Anita. The son of Union Rags continues to impress in the a.m., picks up I. Ortiz, Jr. and probably is a bit quicker than his chief rival, so we're expecting gate-to-wire tactics to be employed. On numbers Scarto is the better of the two, but 'Blues has plenty of upside and could step forward in a big way in just his third career start, just as Scarto did in his third outing. We're expecting the winner to be one or the other, so we'll include both in our rolling exotics.
*
Use: 5-Sea of Liberty; 8-Lemon King; 9-Three Ay Em
Forecast: Lemon King showed some moxie in graduating at first asking two-turning on grass at Del Mar last August but then was stopped on. The son of Lemon Drop Kid returns with a series of good works (looking better now than he did then) and we're expecting the T. Yakteen-trained sophomore to settle off the pace and then produce a strong late kick. F. Prat, who was aboard 'King last summer, stays aboard. Sea of Liberty seeks his third straight score after winning a state-bred maiden affair before repeating vs. starter's allowance foes, both wins accomplished over this course and distance. A versatile type who can win on the lead or rallying from mid-pack, the Boisterous gelding has been kept on edge by doing good work in the a.m. for J. Sadler, and with rising speed figures with each start he appears strictly the one to beat. Three Ay Em, genuine and consistent and in the frame in six of his last seven starts but away since December, is a 4-year-old eligible to his state-bred affair due to the fact that he's been entered for the $20,000 tag. Based on speed figures he's worth more than that, so we wonder if his connections are trying to lose him, or simply going after the big $51,000 pot (or perhaps both). In any event, we'll toss him in as a back-up or a saver.
Use: 2-Buyer's Remorse; 9-Fierce for Sul
Forecast: Fierce for Sul, a $650,00 2-year-old in training purchase last year, was entered earlier this month in a turf sprint but was scratched. She's trained very well since, so she's obviously healthy, and the B. Baffert-trained daughter of Speightstown looks to have plenty of talent, certainly enough to win at first asking in this maiden special weight abbreviated sprint for fillies and mares. However, at 9/5 on the morning line and likely to go lower, she probably won't offer too much in the way of wagering value. She'll be the main push in our rolling exotics, but we will have a ticket or two as a saver using Buyer's Remorse, who showed promise last year as a 2-year-old but was overmatched in a pair of stakes races after a good runner-up debut as a maiden at Del Mar. Freshened and working like her old self, the daughter of Liam's Map will be right there should Fierce for Sul make any mistakes.
Use: 1-Without Parole; 5-War of Will; 6-Blitzkrieg
Forecast: This year's edition of the Shoemaker Mile-G1 is an absolute scramble. Use as many as your budget allows. We'll go three deep and try to blow out the tote board using Blitzkrieg on top at 20-1 on the morning line. Back from Dubai where he performed admirably in top class sprint company, the son of War Front can be equally effective at this one mile trip, and in a field with a projected pace that could be moderate at best, the D. O'Neill-trained gelding should be comfortably placed on or near the lead throughout. A former $25,000 claimer, he's improved a ton for his new connections and is especially lethal on the type of firm ground that he will see today. Based on pure numbers he's right there with the rest of them off his best effort. Without Parole lands the good rail and should inherit an ideal second flight, ground-saving trip. A closing third in the Breeders' Cup Mile over this course and distance last fall, the C. Brown-trained son of Frankel is reunited with I. Ortiz. Jr. (who rode him in that race), and after a disappointing run in the Pegasus World Cup Turf-G1 in January the English-bred horse has trained like he's ready to snap back to top form. War of Will, last year's Preakness winner, makes his four year old debut and could return to form in his first start since finishing unplaced in the BC Classic in November. He's trained like he's fit and ready and picks up F. Prat, and while he must prove himself against older horses (and grass) we're willing to toss him in on the chance that he can somehow regain his past glory.
RACE 10: Post 5:09 PT. Grade: B-
Use: 1-Studly Perfection; 2-Camino de Estrella; 4-Fire When Ready
Forecast: Studly Perfection clearly is the controlling speed from his rail post in this main track miler for modest claiming older horses. First or second in four of six career starts over the local main track, the J. Wong-trained gelding picks up J. Rosario and hopefully will be allowed to utilize his best weapon, his early speed. He's been guzzled and throttled down in recent races in the Bay Area but if turned loose today he could be capable of running his rivals into the ground. Fire When Ready returns to his claim level, and as a two-time winner over the Santa Anita main track and with sharp drills in recent weeks, the J. Mullins-trained son of Empire Way seems well-placed to regain his best form. We're expecting the veteran gelding to be close up throughout and have every chance. Camino de Estrella is a sharp Turf Paradise invader with numbers that fit and a good recent series of workouts to have him on edge. First or second in 11 of 25 career starts, the Mineshaft gelding will be doing his best work from off the pace.
RACE 11: Post 5:39 PT. Grade: B
Use: 1-Etoile; 2-Ollie's Candy; 3-Lady Prancealot
Forecast: Etoile arrives fit and ready from the Payson Park training center in South Florida for this year's Gamely S.-G1 and if she duplicates her outstanding French form she will be hard to beat. The C. Brown-trained filly, away since last fall, was a Group-3 winner at Saint-Cloud last year and was fourth, beaten less than a length, in the French Oaks-G1, before tailing off against Europe's best in two subsequent outings. She gets the rail, Lasix, and J. Rosario for a barn that has a spectacular record with these European imports. Ollie's Candy lost a heartbreaker in the Apple Blossom H.-G1 at Oaklawn Park last month and today tries to duplicate that performance on grass and minus Rosario, who opts for Etoile. The daughter of Candy Road is winless in four starts on turf but she was an excellent second on turf in the nine furlong Del Mar Oaks-G1 as a 3-year-old. It'll be interesting to see if new jockey D. Van Dyke employs the same front-running tactics that nearly stole the Apple Blossom. Lady Prancealot may be the most dangerous of the deep closers. She switches to Johnny V. and will be heard from late if the pace is fast or at least normal.

After 1992, circulatory arrest was limited to posterior circulation aneurysms and included increasing numbers of basilar trunk aneurysms. Surgical morbidity and mortality rates reflect the increasing complexity of the aneurysms treated but are still more favorable than the natural history of these lesions. This volume contains the papers presented at the 26th Annual Meeting of the Deutsche Gesellschaft fUr Neurochirurgie, held in Heidelberg, Western Germany, on May 1-3,1975.

Analysis of 3000 Disc Operations. Immunohistological assays were used to determine the neurosecretory pattern.
In particular, inhibitory effects of spinal and of supraspinal origin are shown to modulate the nociceptive messages ascending to the brain. This experience demonstrates that management in specialized neurovascular centers can minimize the morbidity associated with circulatory arrest so that it remains a viable treatment option for complex posterior circulation aneurysms. They also stand for close co-operation with those who transfer their patients to u- the neurologists and specialists in internal medicine, the ophthalmologists and ear- nose-and throat specialists as well as the general surgeons.

Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki on Monday officially reopened the Oumhajir-Humera border crossing that connects the two countries.
The newly reopened Omhager-Humera frontier, which had been closed for more than two decades due to the dreadful political ties among the two countries, is the latest move as the two former long-time foes ushered a new beginning to their hostile relations.
Eritrea's Afwerki and Ethiopia's Ahmed, accompanied with senior officials of the two East African countries, on Monday witnessed the official reopening of the border crossing. According to Eritrea's Minister of Information Yemane Gebremeskel, reopening of the road is in line with the article 3 of the Joint Declaration of Peace and Friendship that the two countries signed on July 9.
Article 3 of the joint peace accord aspires for the resumption of transport, trade and communication links between the two countries, Gebremeskel said in a statement on Monday. The opening of the border is anticipated to further enable the people-to-people relation on both sides, as well as to facilitate cross-border trade among the two countries in the long run, it was noted. Recent positive developments between Ethiopia and Eritrea ended two decades of bitter armed standoff which followed a bloody border war in 1998-2000. Amid the easing tensions, telecom services between the two countries have resumed, embassies resumed diplomatic relations, and agreements were made to strengthen economic ties.
The two countries' flag carriers – Ethiopian Airlines and Eritrean Airlines – have also started flights to Asmara and Addis Ababa respectively. Leaders of the two countries, in another bid to augment their growing ties, had also agreed to increase the movement and amount of bilateral trade through Eritrea's port city of Assab to Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa.
On Sept. 6, Ethiopia reopened its embassy in Asmara, the Eritrean capital, after the reopening of Eritrea's embassy on July 16 in Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa. The decision to construct a pipeline linking Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa and Eritrea's port had been also unveiled by the Ethiopian government and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which would allow landlocked Ethiopia to export crude oil via Eritrean port as Ethiopia recently commenced petroleum test extraction from the Somali Regional State in June this year.
In addition to diplomatic and economic relations, Ethiopia and Eritrea are also undertaking steps to strengthen cultural and people-to-people links between the two countries.

Rhodes apartment is a design response to a young family seeking a minimalistic transformation of their apartment that celebrated the inherent and lasting beauty of natural materials. The result needed to create a controlled, arranged and yet elegant interior landscape that could be interpreted into the owners desired lifestyle.
From the architect: The design maximizes the small space, providing the family with flexibility within rooms to create private space for one person to insulate themselves from activity while maintaining the ability to be suitably transformed for larger social gatherings and entertaining.
Living room joinery opens to reveal "his and hers" small office spaces which can be concealed or left available without affecting the functionality of the remaining area. The kitchen bench conceals an expandable dining room table that provides versatility for casual family meals and entertaining friends.
The materials were chosen for their resilient, robust finish or for their natural patina and tactile nature that will improve over time. Raw brass was used in mesh screens to allow ventilation and matching solid brass integrated into joinery. This is balanced with the rich tones of custom stained American Oak solid timber and veneers. Corian countertops were selected for longevity in the kitchen, pantry and vanity benches.
The material palette was carefully chosen for its enduring characteristics and the lasting and timeless qualities of these materials can be felt within the space.
The clients are a young family who recently welcomed their second child. The design has allowed the family to retain residence within the centre of Rhodes CBD, close to the facilities that they have grown to love and avoiding the need to relocate to the suburbs in order to fit their growing family.
The efficient and minimal detailing of the project has afforded them functionality within the envelope of their apartment, with the comfort and relaxation they desire.


I used to think than Michael Bloomberg was the biggest douche in politics, but I was wrong. The biggest douche is John McCain who yesterday on Meet the Press proclaimed that he was "duped" into voting for the financial bailout bill! Can you imagine the nerve of this guy? For all of my problems with Obama I thank heavens that McCain is not president. He belongs in a loony bin.


The Container Hauler Unit is equipped with hydralically operated forks which will lift and carry any size bin. The system is totally self-contained with hydralic pump and battery are in an enclosed compartment.
The ease of operation requiring only one individual is one of the main features. These units allow a one-man team to move bins from; underground garages, conjested alleys, business parking areas, parks, beaches, and behind many apartment buildings, for large trucks to access and dump bins.
Large bins for waste collection are no longer inaccessible, no matter where they are needed. They can be placed in every practical location for the convenience of sizeable requirements for waste disposal and be readily picked up by this valuable container handling unit. Then placed where any large loader can store it for removal.


Over the past few months, my paper-limited classroom has been changing. For a while, I resisted the copy machine and only used paper when it was more effective than technology. And that definitely happened sometimes.
I'm lucky to work with a close friend in my English 9 classes, and in our collaboration my vision for technology's use is sometimes challenged--as it should be. I have to justify my instructional choices more often, and really think about how any why we're using technology, paper, or any other resource. That colleague (Hi, Katie!) pointed out that in our collaboration, I've been using a lot more paper and copies in my classroom; we've probably made more copies this month than I have in the past year.
And that's okay. Paper on it's own isn't inherently good or bad. It's just a tool to communicate and demonstrate learning. Paper's easy, quick, and plentiful, but it's also an old medium that can't always solve new problems in the way that technology might be able to.
In the past, and in other classes, all of our class resources are online, some are printed, and students often have the option of taking notes by hand or online. All assignments are submitted electronically on Google Classroom. This year, we are still using the technology all the time, submitting work, collaborating, and creating, but a lot of the more traditional instruction is moving away from the screen and towards paper.
Reflecting on these choices has led me to wonder why paper has been more effective that technology with my freshmen this year, and to reexamine Paper in the Digital Age: Considering the Pros, Problems, and Power of Paper to explore new reasons when and why the pen and paper make all the difference.
As this commercial demonstrates, technology can't solve all of our problems.
1. Technology Distracts My Freshmen!
I like to describe my freshmen as adorable puppies--they are fun, sweet, and loyal. But they also have awful attention spans. They're distracted by the drop of a pin or a sneeze, let alone a bright screen and the power of the internet. This year, my freshmen are more and more distracted by the power of technology that it often takes away from the learning experience.
We're a 1:1 Chromebook classroom but not a 1:1 school; this means that our Chromebooks live in a cart and need to be taken in and out each day. With a well organized class, this just takes a few minutes. Every minute away from instruction matters, but the Chromebook movement can be quick. This year, it's just not. We're slow. Again, we're distracted. And time packing up and plugging in Chromebooks is time away from instruction and learning.
In English 9, the students are learning the foundations of literary analysis and writing. This involves a lot of scaffolding and outlining as we build to more formal and summative writing. My students are fine writers when it comes time to putting their words together, but the brainstorming, outlining, and drafting process is more productive for most of my students on paper. Maybe it's indicative of the distraction and time, or maybe it's an actual processing difference with technology; maybe it's something else entirely. The bottom line is that the process work is better on paper.
I'll never stop a student from taking notes or working on process work by hand. But digital tools help us do more than paper ever could. They provide a permanence to our work and lets learning exist everywhere at once through sharing and collaboration. But it's important to teach students how to demonstrate their learning in new ways and to manage these tools.
Most of my challenges here aren't really technology issues, they're management issues. How can I improve classroom management with these students to improve their efficiency and accountability when working online? How can I make more effective use of the powerful tools in my classroom? It's not about paper or about the technology alone--and never really should be--it's about the learning and the students.
How do you make the choice between paper and digital in your classroom? When is paper most appropriate? Share your ideas in the comments or on Twitter @MrSchoenbart.

News TED Prize
Jamie Oliver gears up for Food Revolution Day on May 17
May 16, 2013	at 5:01 pm EDT
Tomorrow is a holiday, and one you can celebrate simply by eating.
Jamie Oliver, who won the TED Prize in 2010, has declared May 17 as Food Revolution Day. Jamie Oliver: Teach every child about food His vision: that people gather in homes, schools, workplaces and social spaces to share their culinary knowledge, cook together and simply enjoy each other's company as they chow down and discuss the centrality of food in life. Anyone is invited to host a Food Revolution Day activity — Oliver recommends organizing a potluck dinner, leading a farmers market tour, planting a community garden or throwing a street party. There's a downloadable activity guide for those interested in hosting an event, and a search engine for those interested in joining one in their area. Anyone is also welcome to get involved by sharing a treasured recipe.
Why Food Revolution Day? Because Oliver has been on a many-year mission to change the way people relate to food. As he explains on the holiday's website, "Cooking skills used to be passed down from generation to generation, but now millions of people lack even the most basic cooking skills. We need to get back to basics: to cook and eat fresh local produce; to share cooking skills and food knowledge; to join forces within communities and get as many people involved as possible. Food Revolution Day is our opportunity to get the world to focus on the importance of good food and essential cooking skills."
In an unexpected TED Prize synergy, Oliver has teamed up with fellow prize-winner JR, who launched the global art initiative Inside Out, to get the word out about Food Revolution Day. Oliver visited JR's studio and shared a snapshot of himself holding his portrait on Instagram. He also posted an image of JR pasting the poster in Times Square, along with thousands of other portraits.
"Me laid out!! My TED brother @jr pasting the paper & glue in Time Square NYC for his incredible 'Inside Out project,'" Oliver wrote. "FOOD REVOLUTION DAY is coming this Friday thank you. @jr Can't wait to do a massive wall for the #insideoutproject."
Oliver is planning on doing an Inside Out group action, around his message of getting people to eat healthier. Stay tuned for more information.
Are you or someone you know interested in launching a worldwide project on the scale of Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution? Nominations for the 2014 TED Prize are open, from now until June 16 »

Nominations are now open for the 2014 TED Prize
Each year, the TED Prize is awarded to an extraordinary individual with a creative and bold vision to spark global change.

By leveraging the TED community's resources to support the winner and investing $1 million in their idea, the TED […]

Thomas House Hotel to be Featured on Travel Channel May 7
By superadmin | April 28, 2020
By Jessie Williams
The historic Thomas House Hotel in Red Boiling Springs will be featured in the Travel Channel's 'Portals to Hell' television series on Thursday, May 7, at 9 pm CST.
The paranormal investigative show features host Jack Osbourne and ghost hunter Katrina Weidman, and is in its second season of seeking out the world's most haunted locations.
According to Thomas House Hotel owner Cherry Cole, a crew of 13 took over the hotel with the latest in electronic tools for seven days, in October 2019, to investigate and film.
"The crew was delightful and this was the most organized production we've been a part of," she said.
Cole, her family and former guests were interviewed on camera to share their most haunting encounters at the hotel.
For those unfamiliar with the history of the Thomas House Hotel, formerly the Cloyd Hotel, it was built in 1890, burned down, and was completely rebuilt in the 1920's. In its prime, the hotel boomed with visitors seeking the healing powers of sulphur springs.
The hotel has become a famous spot for ghost hunters and has been featured on SyFy's Ghost Hunters, Southern Haunts, A&E's Paranormal State as well as numerous books and publications.
There are many peculiar individuals and strange folklore associated with the hotel that will be investigated on the 'Portals to Hell' episode.
The show also explores the church across he street, which is owned by the Cole family.
"Honestly, I understand that some people don't believe in this kind of stuff," Cole said. "I used to be one of those people. But after seeing some of the things I've seen, I'm now a believer."
The Cole family hopes that everyone will tune in next Thursday to see the outcome of the paranormal team's investigation and learn about some of the hotel's history.
"We're excited for everyone to see what was captured during their investigation and all of the evidence they presented," she said. "We think a lot of folks will be surprised!"

Back again after what has been a while. 2012 beckons and I type in the Macclesfield Batcave, soon to head out into the Batcar to head for the Leeds Batcave. Coffee is on the go and all is well. Yesterday I turned on the ability to buy tickets on the Macclesfield Beer Festival website and I am curious as to where the person will be located who buys the first ticket online. Local or elsewhere?

Q: Discord.py how to get bot to print out how many members it has? Also, how do I get my bot to get what a user has said? So, I want my bot to print out the number of members I have in my server. I get this when I try it:
Counter Top MTG has this amount of members: <property object at 0xb6a48e14>

My code is:
@client.command()
async def report():
    x = server.Server.members
    await client.say("`Counter Top MTG has this amount of members: {}`".format(x))

My second question:
So, I want to make a report method, and have the user say something like:
!report bob cheated in life

And it gets that info and pms it to me. I have no idea where to start.

A: You pass the context of the command, get the Server object from that, and then respond with that information:
@client.command(pass_context=True)
async def report(ctx):
    await client.say("`{0.name} has this amount of members: {0.member_count}`".format(ctx.message.server))

To PM yourself, you must first get the User object representing you, and then use send_message
@client.command(pass_context=True)
async def report(ctx, *, message):
    me = await client.get_user_info("Your User ID")
    pm = "{} reported: {}".format(ctx.message.author, message)
    await client.send_message(me, pm)

This requires you to know your Discord ID.  Follow these steps to obtain it.

Andy Stern was a participant or observer in the following events:
June 9, 2010: Beck: To Stop Communism, His Viewers Must 'Shoot' Democratic Leaders 'in the Head'
Fox News talk show host Glenn Beck tells his viewers that in order to stop Democratic leaders from imposing a communist regime on America, they are going to have to "shoot them in the head." He specifically cites Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) as one of those leaders. He says that while Democratic leaders such as Pelosi and President Obama are not themselves communists, they use "avowed communists" such as former union leader Andy Stern to force America towards a communist system. "These people are politicians and they knew—they're progressive politicians," Beck says. "They're not—they're not total government. They're not communists. They do not want to be communists. They don't. But they would like it here. And they would like all the control they have, so dollars—so money could go into their—money could go in their pockets. That's right.… So, this is what you have to understand. These people saw these people as fuel. If we can just unite, then it becomes a united front. This is your strong arm. This will do all the bad things for you. Okay?" He says that the Democratic Party is infested with "communist revolutionaries" who are driving the party, and thereby the nation, towards a Stalinist state. "The radicals have infected the party. They have been brought in by politicians who don't really care about anything. They just want to win. They've been tolerating the revolutionaries—the Democrats have." Beck says that "tea partiers" and other right-wing elements must oppose the "radicals" in the Democratic Party at all costs. He says: "Tea parties believe in small government. We believe in returning to the principles of our Founding Fathers. We respect them. We revere them. Shoot me in the head before I stop talking about the founders. Shoot me in the head if you try to change our government. I will stand against you and so will millions of others. We believe in something. You in the media and most in Washington don't. The radicals that you and Washington have co-opted and brought in wearing sheep's clothing—change the pose. You will get the ends. You've been using them? They believe in communism. They believe and have called for a revolution. You're going to have to shoot them in the head. But warning, they may shoot you. They are dangerous because they believe. Karl Marx is their George Washington. You will never change their mind. And if they feel you have lied to them—they're revolutionaries. Nancy Pelosi, those are the people you should be worried about.… They want to overthrow our entire system of government, and their words say it. Why won't you believe it?… The revolution of 1776 was a picnic compared to what the revolutionaries of today would like to do. It's not a lot of fun. Usually, millions of people die." [Fox News, 6/10/2010; Raw Story, 1/20/2011] Months later, Beck will claim that he was actually warning Democratic leaders about the prospects of being shot by "radical leftists" (see January 21, 2011).

You Need To Read This About Midterm Elections
By Rob Gunther, October 27th 2014
Shutterstock / Steve Cukrov
We're all supposed to vote a week from Tuesday. And that's great, just really terrific. But what a tease, an election with nothing at stake. I can't wait until these phony elections are over, so we can start doing some serious politicking two years from now. Hell yeah, I'm talking presidential elections. They're like the Olympics, or the World Cup, only they last for like a year and a half, and instead of focusing all of our energies toward faraway countries in a spirit of mostly benign sports competition, we get to wage personal warfare against friends, family, and strangers alike.
I'm serious, I'm talking all out war. It starts innocently enough. Sure, at this point in time we only have an idea about some of the men and women thinking about how they potentially might want to start considering setting up an exploratory committee to test the waters regarding the viability of a book tour to measure a theoretical dropping of the hat into the presidential contest. But in the coming months, once this midterm nonsense is out of the way, we're going to start hearing from all sorts of people who think they have what it takes.
They're going to start scheduling debates on both sides of the political spectrum, and sure, you'll see the big names, I'm sure Hillary Clinton and Chris Christie will be standing out front. But there's also going to be like all of these governors and senators and other random jokers that you've never heard of before.
And they're all going to dig deep and start piling on the front-runners. It's going to be a classic race to the bottom, with everyone trying to out-America one another, only talking about the most contentious of popular talking points: abortion, guns, taxes, Christmas.
By the time they narrow down the playing field, everyone paying attention is going to be foaming at the mouth, convinced that this is the year that the fate of our nation will be irreparably sealed. And even though every election comes down to these so-called "independent voters," everybody already has their minds made up. Right now, right this second, even though nobody is officially in the race, I promise you that everyone knows exactly who they're going to vote for come 2016.
Sure, everything looks calm now, but get ready, because this time next year, you'll go on the Internet, you'll log onto Facebook, and everyone you know is going to be putting up recycled headlines and overblown mischaracterizations about the other side. People you haven't spoken to in years will be popping up on your news feed giving the world their expert two cents on why everything that you believe in shows that you're an idiot.
I'm sure I'll be doing it too. Right now I'm acting like I'm above all of this stuff, and sure, maybe I'll pay some lip service to being respectful and keeping my opinions to myself, but there are always at least a few points during every campaign cycle where everybody gets caught up, a particular controversy or a quote taken totally out of context, and I'll dive in, guns blazing, family lines forgotten, friendship irreparably destroyed.
And then the election will be over and nothing is going to change at all. Because look at what we're dealing with today, Ebola, celebrity plastic surgery, none of this stuff has anything to do with politics. But whatever, like I said, it's easy to talk like I'm above the fray when there's nothing else going on. Midterm elections are boring. Nobody ever goes out to vote, and you wind up with only the most cranky senior citizens dictating who goes to Congress. I'm done ranting. If you need me, I'll be outside, washing my car, polishing my bumper to get it ready for all of those inflammatory 2016 bumper stickers, hopefully I'll get to really piss off some complete stranger behind me paying five bucks a gallon at the gas station.

The hair on everyone's scalp grows in small groupings called follicular units. The normal adult has follicular units consisting of 1-5 hair follicles. With the CIT technique Dr. Cole can isolate grafts or follicular units that contain higher hair counts. This is advantageous when working behind the frontal hairline, in the top and in the crown region of the scalp because a single graft containing more hair provides more coverage. Last week we had a patient that had many grafts that contained high hair counts. Take a look at these groupings and notice the one's with 7 hair follicles!
would it not look abnormal to have such a dense cluster of hair?
This is quite amazing is a shame is not a more frequent occurence.

i think in a situation like this where the patient's hair is very fine, it is probably a good thing that he has large groups because it will help make up for the finer hair. in this instance, i would place this natural group well behind the hairline to add density to his transplant without breaking the group up. it is a natural follicular group and the hair is fine. there is no reason to bust the group up, but of course almost all strip based practices will break them into a number of different grafts of smaller size that cost the patient more money and produce a result that is not as good. In addition, sometimes when you break up natural follicular groups, the yield is not as good.
» groups, the yield is not as good.
Strip clinics cut the follicles?So when we hear a megasession it means that they cut follicular groupings into smaller grafts? That means we will have to pay more for the same number of hair?
Some of the arguments that come out of your clinic are so transparently slanted that it is cringe worthy. There is no reason that a strip clinic would cut larger Fus anymore than you would with FUE. The last argument that your cliniic put in favour of FUE was that you (coles clinic) get larger number of folliular units containing more hair than strip clinics and that is an advantage. Then why would a strip clinic want less hair in an FU. This is just a cheap smear tactic on another technique.

I totally agree with marco. Maybe that's what their clinic used to do when they offered strip procedures until a few years back!!
Actually you said "almost all". There is a big difference between "some" and "almost all". Just sayin.
but why are the bulbs at different depths? Are they at a different stage of the growth cycle?
And I see that despite of these different depths, you managed to dig each follicle out at the correct depth. I mean, the extraction depth is not unique for the whole graft, but it has an irregular depth, matching the depth of the bulbs.
How do you do that? Maybe pulling them out?
When you look at the microscope, are the dermal papillas attached to the bulbs, or do they remain in the donor site?
» scalp because a single graft containing more hair provides more coverage.
I am into photography and stuff, I wonder how did you manage to take these photos? Were the photos taken by a regular camera or were they taken by a miscroscope that has a built-in camera?
» miscroscope that has a built-in camera?
They were actually just taken with a digital camera held up to the lens of a microscope.
I don't think that forhair was trying to smear strip clinics with his assertion. He was just pointing out one of the limitations of strip and a reason why he believes that FUE/CIT is a superior procedure. If anything, it is FUE doctors and clinics that are frequently smeared by strip physicians and advocates who perpetuate the myths that FUE produces a lower yield, has a higher transection rate and is only indicated for very small procedures. Most of the FUE detractors have very limited experience with the procedure- how can you bash something that you haven't practiced and don't truly understand? On the other hand, Dr. Cole has performed over 8,000 strip procedures in his career. He believes there is a valuable place for strip in this field but, after years of experience with both methods, he believes that FUE is a fundamentally superior hair transplantation method.
As clinics generally charge by the graft (not the number of hairs actually implanted), there is definitely an incentive for clinics to divide naturally occurring follicular grouping into additional grafts. With CIT, Dr. Cole averages a calculated density of 2.93 hairs per graft; the calculated density is only 2.00 hairs per graft with strip. This means that, in opting for a CIT procedure, the patient is getting almost one additional hair per graft than they would otherwise- about 30% more for what they pay. This difference in calculated density can partially be attributed to the fact that FUE physicians can cherry-pick the largest follicular units from a larger expanse than just the excised strip. However, it's also likely that strip clinics are further subdividing follicular units when they dissect the strip. This doesn't mean that strip doctors are necessarily trying to 'cheat' patients- it's more likely that the technicians who actually cut the grafts (very rarely do strip doctors prepare the grafts themselves) are not properly trained.
» and "almost all". Just sayin.
I suppose Dr. Cole had to switch to a larger punch in order to take out a 7 hair graft?
» » an FU. This is just a cheap smear tactic on another technique.

Only valid point: FUE practitioner can cherry pick multiple hair grafts, so that they can give more multi-hair grafts in a procedure.
(1)	Strip clinics have financial incentive to split the grafts, whereas FUE practitioners are saints, they will never split the grafts.
(2)	Strip graft dissecting technicians are not properly trained. When both FUE, and strip clinics can properly train the technicians to insert the grafts (except perhaps dr.woods clinic), strip clinics for some reason cannot train their technicians to do the dissection!
"FUE tend to produce better results the strip" Wow, what a statement, based scientific research and published results!
Forhair's intention might not be to slander strip, and his/her personal preference might be FUE. However, you twist it or back it, the bottomline is, the statement was loosely worded without careful thought. It's ok if it's from an independent poster, but if it comes from someone who is representing a Clinic, more discretion and thought is required-- a prospective patient might construe it as a fact!
Strip is what it sounds like. They cut a huge strip and leave huge ugly scars in the back of your head. This is an old, outdated procedure. It has been around since the 80's. Do you still wear you clothes from the 80's? Well there is your answer. This procedure should be banned! Let the strip clinics guarantee that your scar will heal properly and show you what it will look like healed- Guarantee it! Also I have repeatedly asked the strip clinics to show the donor area post op and 3-5 years down the line. I want to see hundreds of those photos not just one or 2. Strip strips your head and leaves it disfigured- PERIOD!!

To illustrate the passage of time in-between the 3rd and 4th panel, maybe make the shade of the sky turn a little orange and crimson?
Connor and Zack had only been gone for maybe 30-45 minutes tops. The group had stopped to make lunch around high noon and so since it is still the middle of the day, a drastic change in the color of the sky is not necessarily needed. Sorry if there was any confusion but thank you anyways for the constructive criticism!


I feel the need to start this blog post with a disclaimer. I am not an authority on the use of fonts, and I am also not seeking to sway anyone on the application or suitability of novelty email signatures.
Any opinion put forth in this article is entirely subjective; but in a way, subjectivity is entirely the issue.
A jaunty, fun, novelty email signature may have the greatest of intentions, but the judgement of those intentions lies with the recipient, not the sender.
For example, I recently received a sales email, in which the sender had stylised their name by using Brush Script MT font in a bright colour. The individual may think that setting their name in a lime green flowing font is a projection of their character and an indication of their fun and outgoing personality; or, by adding a touch of creativity via the use of a script font, it helps to create a sense that the email has been hand signed (it really doesn't, by the way).
If you genuinely feel that your personality can be reflected by the use of a custom novelty font or bright colours, then that's up to you. I am not trying to knock personal choice or influence anyone who currently uses a personalised approach. All I am trying to highlight is that those who stray away from accepted norms run the risk of creating confusion or eliciting the wrong reaction from the recipient. This situation is worsened if you receive multiple emails from different people within a business, each featuring its own personalisation.
A quick poll amongst my colleagues in the office has shown that this simple subject is very divisive. Some felt that my opinion was boring and seeks to create a world in which everything looks the same. Others agree that personalisation for its own sake has no place in professional communications and employees should be encouraged to adhere to accepted corporate standards.
My advice would be to stick to your organisation's brand guidelines and express your personality the old-fashioned way - in person.


Fill the lower part brim full with water. Screw both parts together tightly again.
Hint: Screw down the brown adjustment bolt until resistance is sensible. This closes the unit and prevents swamping later. Lay the Tropf-Blumat units in water for an hour.
In the meantime irrigate soil in flower containers amply. Put the Tropf-Blumat units in the soil at a distance of 25cm. Cut the proper lengths from feeder hose and connect the Tropf-Blumat with them.When all Tropf-Blumat are connected, connect and open the water source.
Open and afterwards close adjustment bolts. In wet soil it must just stop dripping. Then screw down brown cap additional two marks. Fine adjustment: Right - dry ; left - humid.
The adjusted level of moisture will be automatically kept constant under all conditions.


Happy Veterans Day! To all those that serve this country in whatever means you do - thank you for all you do and I know that one day of thanks isn't nearly enough. I have been fortunate enough to have military servicemen among my life, not only in my family but circle of friends as well. It helps define the word freedom and hero. Each time I see them - I thank them for their service. It brings alittle sadness to my heart on days like today- with remembering all those that have lost their life for us. So thank you again to all the Service members & Veterans out there!
Today I have the medallion in Not so Navy for you. I really need to use this stamp more, the possibilities are endless, and truely its just classy. I dressed it up with some pearls and added pearls to the top that I colored Not So Navy. I stamped Cherish on the ribbon, however its more visible IRL then here.
