Put 15w30 in, and there is no leaking whatsoever ever, quite down alot once oil cycled.
Starts fine runs good till pushed.
Can pull fine with no smoke through first and second, third gear at 4k a crazy amount of smoke starts rolling behind my car.
I can easily push it past sometimes but it smokes when pushed hard.
Smoke when it starts up now as well, but goes away.
Oil cooler air lock causing oil to run super hot and burn?
Was initially the pressure switch but when I unsealed the oring it couldn't seal it was mad hard and cracked all over.
This is what it does at idle. Smoke looks grey/blue. Does it at idle now from what smitty has told me.
This is all after he replaced the oil pressure switch and oil cooler o-ring. He tried to reuse the old one but it didn't seal properly and cracked in half. That's how he dumped 10 qts of oil on the ground.
So now it smokes like a crack whore, but I don't have a single clue as to what it could be. I think the 15w he put in is too high for winter weather and it probably killed something in the motor.
Right now it smokes on start up, and pushing it hard I get a little smoke but nothing compared to yesterday.
Now it's taking the Roma alot better with minimal smoke, but at idle it's has a little.
If I revv it I can make a pretty good smoke show just like sea foam.
On a side note I fixed my oil leak and r started oil light.
And thank you Bordon for always helping me and stuff!
Does it smoke at all times?
Wait...so you are having major burning and leaking problems so you decided to go ahead and drive "alot" and you thought it was a good idea to be "pushing it hard"?
No leaking at all have just gotten smoke, but has virtually gone away.
Haven't had any issues at all lately.
Been running great no smoke at all no loss of power no nothing.

I am doing this as a double book review because I think you should have both books together. They are both good on their own but better as a pair.
The books are about Katherine johnson and Mae Jeminson both books are about the girls wanting to be with NASA!
These books are unique because people don't really make books about the girls without adding another character!
I recommend this book to both kids and adults.

Escaping To The 1950s Provided The Perfect Antidote To Covid For Best Selling Crime Author, Pauline Rowson
Oct 1, 2021 author, authors life, book, book recommendations, Writer, Writers Life, Writing
Escaping to the 1950s was the perfect antidote to turbulent Covid times for crime author, Pauline Rowson as she wrote the third Inspector Ryga mystery, DEATH IN THE NETS published in paperback and as an ebook on 4 October 2021.
Death In The Nets
DEATH IN THE NETS is set in January 1951 in the small fishing town of Brixham in Devon, England where the body of a man stabbed through the heart is found tangled up in fishing nets. After a series of startling revelations, Scotland Yard's Inspector Ryga is tasked to discover why the dead man who left the town eleven years ago has returned and why someone hated him enough to murder him.
Pauline Rowson says, 'It was great to take refuge in 1951 writing my crime novel and escape all the depressing news on Covid, but it wasn't exactly a picnic back then. Housing was in dire supply with people living in Nissan huts on disused airfields and abandoned army camps, in converted torpedo boats, old houseboats, railway carriages and shacks. There was still rationing on some foodstuffs, an acute shortage of many consumer goods, make-do-and mend was very much the order of the day and black marketeers flourished. Added to that there was war in Korea, and the cloud of nuclear war hanging over everyone. Life was pretty tough for many including my fictional sleuth, Inspector Ryga.'
The Work Of Pauline Rowson
More used to writing contemporary set crime novels Pauline Rowson is the author of the critically acclaimed crime series featuring the Harley Davidson-riding, sailing Portsmouth detective, DI Andy Horton. There are fifteen in the Horton series which has been hailed in the USA, the Commonwealth and the UK as 'compelling' 'multi-layered','outstanding', and 'exemplary police procedurals'. They have also been translated into several language and have garnered interest from television. Rowson is also the author of the mystery thriller series featuring former Royal Marine Commando, Art Marvik who is engaged to work undercover for the UK's National Intelligence Marine Squad. All Rowson's marine mystery crime novels are set against the back drop of the sea in the UK.
DEATH IN THE NETS is the third Inspector Ryga 1950s set mystery with DEATH IN THE COVE the first, set in Portland, Dorset and DEATH IN THE HARBOUR the second, set in the port of Newhaven, East Sussex.
Researching The 1950s
Pauline Rowson adds, 'In the 1950s there were no specialist crime scene officers, no rushing about in fast cars, no mobile phones, no central databases or DNA so it was very different to research and write compared to my contemporary crime novels. Scotland Yard detectives were often called in to help investigate crimes around the country.'
Rowson's Inspector Ryga is ex Merchant Navy and a former German prisoner-of-war. In the novels he teams up with former war photographer, Eva Paisley to solve baffling coastal crimes.
Living on the South Coast of England, on Hayling Island, Hampshire, Pauline Rowson says, 'It's great to get into the mind-set of the era and research the period. Younger readers love the retro vintage feel of the novels and some find it hard to believe there was life without mobile phones and the internet! Older readers have told me how true to life the novels are. I believe there is a great demand for nostalgia at the moment. I thoroughly enjoy researching and writing this mystery series, and I'm currently working on number four.'
More From Pauline Rowson:
DEATH IN THE NETS is published by Fathom on 4 October 2021 and is available in paperback (£7.99) and as an ebook and on Amazon Kindle (£6.80).

Home Entertainment is the rapper dmx dead? Hip Hop icon Suffers Severe Drug Overdose
is the rapper dmx dead? Hip Hop icon Suffers Severe Drug Overdose
Hip Hop icon DMX's life is hanging in the balance after the rapper suffered a drug overdosed Friday night.
According to TMZ, sources close to the "What's My Name" artist claim the OD occurred at 11 p.m. Sources added that the overdose then triggered a heart attack.
DMX, 50, is currently in the critical care unit of a White Plains hospital where he reportedly is exhibiting "some brain activity." Another source told TMZ that the artist is currently in a "vegetative state" and doctors have cautioned he may not make it.
The Ruff Ryders MC has long struggled with drug addiction, last checking into rehab October 2019.
The rapper claims his problems with addiction began when he was tricked into smoking crack at 14 — by his mentor.
"I was in Yonkers. This guy, 'Ready Ron,' he was like an older brother to me," DMX told fellow hip-hop star Talib Kweli on his "People's Party" podcast.
"He would rap, and I would do the beatbox," DMX said. "I loved this guy like an older brother."
One night after the duo "did a robbery one night… it was his birthday and we came back and split the money. I said, 'Here you go, go get something nice for your birthday.' So he came back with a blunt rolled up, and I'm counting the money, he pass[ed] the blunt."
Holding back tears, he continued, "I hit the blunt and … I was no longer focused on the money. I've never felt like this, it just f–ked me up. I later found out that he laced the blunt with crack. Why would you do that to a child? He knew I looked up to him. Why would you do that to somebody who looks up to you? A monster was born. I wouldn't do that to my worst enemy. Especially to someone that you supposedly love."
"The person that I loved was a snake."

Recognition of technology management
13 Feb 2013 | News
Johnson Controls, a company specializing in automotive seating and seating components, has been named one of five winners of the 'Successful Practices in Technology Management 2012' consortium benchmarking in technology management conducted by the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology (IPT) in Aachen, Germany.
A total of 160 companies from across Europe took part in the project, which was led by the IPT for the fourth time.
"We are absolutely delighted to have been recognised by the Fraunhofer IPT. Being named one of the best companies in Europe for technology management is both an endorsement and incentive,' said Dr Andreas Eppinger, group vice president of Technology Management for Johnson Controls Automotive Seating. "Participating in the consortium benchmarking has given us numerous valuable insights and momentum for our work."
The IPT joined a consortium of partners to analyse technology management in a multi-stage process at 160 companies that volunteered for the nine month benchmarking project.
It evaluated the organisational structure of technology management, strategic technology planning, early recognition of new technologies, industry spanning innovations using developments from other industries and open innovation approaches that involve external developers in the innovation process.
"Johnson Controls has impressively demonstrated that technology management can definitely be put on a successful footing in even a short space of time given the necessary management attention and appropriate resources. Well thought out, globally standardised processes with specific IT support have proven the key to its success in this instance," said Prof. Günther Schuh of the Fraunhofer IPT at the closing conference for the consortium benchmarking in Aachen.

City Councilor Sal LaMattina was sworn in to his fourth term as District 1 City Councilor last week at Boston College and said he looks forward to representing Charlestown, East Boston, and the North End for another two years.
With many issues still facing Charlestown and several large projects ready to transform the future of the neighborhood, LaMattina said he is ready to roll up his sleeves and get to work for the people.
"I'm so pleased to be reelected to another term," said LaMattina. "We have a new Mayoral administration and a new Mayor that I have had several discussions with already and we are ready to move forward.
LaMattina also said he also looks forward to working with the new Boston Police Commissioner to address crime and quality of life issues here.
"I have also had discussions with the new Police Commissioner William Evans and he will be a good partner with the Charlestown community," he said.
LaMattina said he will also be keeping a watchful eye on Wynn and Mohegan Sun's plans to develop a casino in neighboring Everett and Revere.
LaMattina said he is of the opinion that if Boston roads are still used as access roads to the casino, Boston should have a Host Community designation.

Globe editorial: The Mueller investigation won't settle Donald Trump's fate. Voters will
Published March 25, 2019 Updated March 25, 2019
For President Donald Trump, Sunday, March 24, was his best day in office. For his opponents, it was their worst day since his election. And for everyone else? Call it a small victory for American democracy. Whether Mr. Trump is to be a one-term president or a two-term president has been remanded to what the U.S. Constitution calls "We the People" – the voters.
The 2020 election may end with Mr. Trump bounced from office. But he's unlikely to leave before then. And he's even more unlikely to leave in handcuffs, under indictment or impeached.
On Friday, special counsel Robert Mueller submitted his final report into allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 election. The document is not yet public but, on Sunday, Attorney-General William Barr sent a letter to Congress summarizing its findings. Mr. Trump and his defenders immediately proclaimed that he'd been cleared – "a total and complete exoneration," tweeted press secretary Sarah Sanders.
That's an exaggeration and distortion of the special counsel's findings. Even so, Mr. Trump has reason to celebrate. It comes down to this one line from Mr. Barr's letter, quoting Mr. Mueller's report:
"The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election-interference activities."
According to Mr. Mueller, Mr. Trump is not a Russian agent, nor was he a co-conspirator in Russian attempts to subvert the election. That's a legal exoneration, at least on one accusation. But is it a political exoneration? No.
As Richard Nixon once said, "I am not a crook." Strictly speaking, he was correct. But the bar for assessing presidential success, and fitness for office and re-election, is somewhere higher than the absence of a criminal indictment.
The Mueller investigation was created to look into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, and allegations the Trump campaign joined those efforts. Mr. Trump has spent two years arguing there was "no collusion," and Mr. Mueller, to the consternation of Mr. Trump's critics, apparently agrees.
Yes, Russian agents and actors tried to undermine the Hillary Clinton campaign. Yes, the Russian Internet Research Agency conducted disinformation campaigns on social media. Yes, Moscow sponsored hacking operations, including breaking into computers and email accounts belonging to the Clinton team and the Democratic Party.
And yes, the Russians offered assistance to Mr. Trump's campaign, and meetings and conversations took place between members of Mr. Trump's entourage and those malicious Russian actors.
Nevertheless, according to Mr. Barr's summary of Mr. Mueller's report, "despite multiple offers from Russian-affiliated individuals to assist the Trump campaign," Mr. Trump and his associates did not conspire or coordinate with those Russians. As a result, Mr. Mueller writes that "the evidence does not establish that the President was involved in an underlying crime related to Russian election interference."
However, the second part of Mr. Mueller's report, covering allegations of obstruction of justice, is less favourable. He examined the question of whether or not Mr. Trump had broken the law by attempting to interfere with investigations, and concluded there is evidence to make a case for it.
But, rather than recommend charges against Mr. Trump, or declare him cleared, the Mueller report – at least according to Mr. Barr's summary of it – punts. "While this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime," Mr. Barr says, quoting Mr. Mueller, "it also does not exonerate him."
It left the decision to charge Mr. Trump, or not, up to Mr. Barr. The President's hand-picked attorney-general has unsurprisingly decided to declare his boss out of criminal danger on the obstruction allegation.
So, what's left of the Mueller investigation? Congress has to hear from Mr. Mueller. He may yet disagree with Mr. Barr's characterization of his findings. More importantly, the report needs to be made public, and soon. Mr. Trump has said he supports that. He may favour it because he knows that, while it doesn't entirely exonerate him, it exonerates him enough, and muddies the legal waters sufficiently.
In the run-up to the 2020 election, the case against President Donald Trump appears to have been removed from the court of law and returned to the highest court in the land: the court of public opinion.

On behalf of the Aurora Prize for Awakening Humanity, we would like to publicly express our gratitude for your unyielding commitment to raising awareness and rallying support for the world's most vulnerable people during your term as Secretary-General of the United Nations. Read more.
A reception for the outgoing secretary-general was held at United Nations headquarters in New York.
Leaders from civil society gathered at the United Nations today to celebrate the tenure of outgoing secretary-general Ban Ki-moon, honoring in particular his track record on promoting and defending human rights. The event, cohosted by the United Nations Foundation and Carnegie Corporation of New York, saw leaders from internationally oriented NGOs, nonprofits, and foundations heap praise on Ban for his efforts, despite the political challenges faced by the leader of an institution who reports to its member states.
Vartan Gregorian, president of Carnegie Corporation of New York, noting that he had known four secretary-generals, called Ban a courageous man of great dignity and honor who will be long remembered not only in New York City but around the world.
Other speakers at the event included Timothy Wirth, former U.S. senator and vice chair of the United Nations Foundation, and David Miliband, president of the International Rescue Committee.
Following are UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's remarks at the reception held in his honor. "I thank the Carnegie Corporation for bringing us together . . ." Read more.

Please read these instructions carefully in order to care for your mouth and your dental implants. Each patient and case is unique and so will be each patient's post-operative experience. Common sense will often dictate appropriate care. However, please follow these guidelines or call our office for clarification, (706) 549-5033.
Unfortunately, all oral surgical procedures are accompanied by variable amounts of pain, so after your dental implants procedure, you will likely experience some discomfort. Each person and experience is different. Typical pain symptoms peak 1-2 days after the procedure and may last 3-7 days. Prescription pain medications will be used when appropriate. We also recommend supplementing with non-prescription pain medications as well, such as ibuprofen. It is important that prescription and non-prescription medications be used only as instructed, including all listed precautions (working, driving, alcohol intake etc.).
Dental implants procedures are typically accompanied by variable amounts of swelling. Each person and experience is unique. Typically swelling peaks 1-2 days following the procedure, and can last 3-7 days, normally. We recommend using cold compresses to help limit swelling for the first 36 hours following surgery. We also recommend using warm compresses starting on the 4th day following surgery to help relieve any residual swelling.
It is a normal bodily response to surgery to have an elevated temperature for 2-3 days following the dental implants procedure. Patients should call the office any time they experience a temperature of greater than 101 degrees Fahrenheit. Patients may take acetaminophen or ibuprofen in response to a slightly elevated temperature, keeping in mind any specific contraindications for each person.
Intermittent bleeding or oozing is normal for up to 24 hours following surgery. Intermittent bleeding in most cases can be treated via pressure, namely gauze packs directly on the site, biting firmly for a minimum of 30 minutes before changing or removing the gauze. It is best to avoid using gauze if you are not bleeding. If the bleeding persists, patients should place a tea bag over the site and apply pressure.
Patients are advised to avoid foods that are overly hot, spicy, or salty for at least 48 hours after receiving dental implants. Patients should eat what is comfortable, and advance their diet as tolerated. We recommend patients avoid foods with small seeds or kernels such as popcorn, peanuts, strawberries, etc. for at least 2 weeks. Patients should avoid use of any straw for at least 5 days.
Being nauseated following dental implants surgery is not uncommon. This may be due to anesthetics, pain medications, dehydration, or altered diet. We recommend patients take any medications with food. We also recommend that patients make their best effort to remain hydrated.
In general, the cleaner the surgical site, the better the area will heal. Patients should begin brushing their teeth normally as soon as comfortable, using a soft bristle toothbrush, starting the day after surgery. Patients should rinse with salt water (8oz. with ¼ teaspoon of salt) 4-5 times daily for the first week following surgery. Patients should avoid spitting for 5 days.
We recommend patients limit their physical activity for the first 2-3 days following dental implants surgery, keeping in mind each patient and case is unique. NO SMOKING OR TOBACCO for 5 days.
Dry socket is exceedingly rare, regardless of the information presented on the internet and other sources. Discomfort and swelling normally increase over the first 1-2 days and then begin to improve. Pain from dry sockets usually begins around the 3-4 the day following your dental implants surgery, as an intense throbbing pain that radiates and shows no improvement with time or pain medications. Patients should call the office if they are concerned about dry socket.

An in Silico Vaccine Design Based on T-Cell Epitope Prediction
蘇, 家玉 (PI)
Graduate Institute of Biomedical Informatics
TMU Research Center of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine and Health
An immune system is a system of biological structures and processes within an organism that protects against diseases. When a host is infected by pathogens, physiological functions of the immune system trigger protective responses induced by parts of proteins known as epitopes. However, despite recent technical advances, experimental determination of epitope binding remains time-consuming and labor-intensive. Thus, using computational approaches to extract immunological features from sequences have become highly important to understand relationship between hosts and pathogens and facilitate in silico epitope-based vaccine design. In this project, we propose T-cell epitope prediction methods, in which incorporate various physicochemical properties as feature representation, correspondence analysis as feature reduction, and compact set analysis and support vector machines as classification techniques. This study can help discover new vaccines and therapies for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), malaria, tuberculosis, and influenza. Moreover, the proposed immunological features can provide valuable insights into the nature of cancer, allergy, and autoimmune diseases. We will propose a systematic approach for qualitative T-cell epitope identification, followed by quantitative major histocompatibility complex (MHC) binding affinity prediction, and further refined by antigen-processing event analysis. First, we will aim at developing predictors for T-cell epitopes, including cytotoxic T lymphocyte and helper T lymphocyte epitopes. First, we will identify the biological, physical, and chemical factors that are key players in determining immunogenicity. Then, feature extraction, feature representation, and feature reduction will be applied on various physicochemical properties. Finally, a hybrid prediction system combined with compact sets and support vector machines will be proposed, and immunological insights will be drawn from our results with references to vaccine design. Second, we will further develop methods to estimate MHC binding affinity based on biological features proposed from T-cell epitope prediction. We will first apply our experience learned from RNA-binding site identification to predict binding affinity for MHC class I and class II molecules. Afterwards, since evolutionary information and physicochemical properties have been shown effective to infer binding affinity, we will incorporate more biological features and extend our approach to predict pan-specific MHC binding. Third, events in antigen-processing pathway also play an important role for epitope prediction. We will develop systems for predicting proteasomal cleavage sites and transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) binders. Finally, a refined epitope prediction method will be integrated by T-cell identification, MHC binding prediction, and antigen-processing events. In the coming three years, we will endeavor to develop useful bioinformatics tools and propose interpretable biological features that can be used collectively to assist immunologist in epitope-based vaccine design.

Record price paid for Milton Keynes warehouse site
By Liza Helps	 2nd September 2021 No Comments
Global developer and investor Trammell Crow Company has paid a record land price for 19.4-acre site in Milton Keynes where it intends to develop a 340,000ft2 speculative warehouse scheme.
The company is thought to have paid around £38 million – equivalent to £2 million per acre – for the former Arcadia distribution centre on Merton Drive, which will be redeveloped. Construction is expected to begin in Q2 2022 with an expected completion date of Q2 2023.
"This is a unique opportunity, and we are extremely pleased to acquire our first site in Europe having only entered the market a few months ago," said Mike Forster, Director and Head of UK logistics for Trammell Crow Company. "This important acquisition demonstrates our ability to identify and close prime opportunities quickly, in order to facilitate the rapid planned expansion of our European development programme."
The master planned site will comprise three buildings of 212,309ft2; 70,816ft2 and 51,420ft2. The building clear heights will range from 12-15m with yard depths ranging from 50-65m.
With the growing likelihood of electric vehicles (cars and lorries) and increased levels of automation and overall power demand, the buildings will provide increased load capacity on the roof to accommodate photovoltaic arrays and additional natural daylighting. It will also house transformers and primary electrical frameworks sized for increased electrical demand and reserves of power, and have infrastructure made ready for electric vehicle charging. Additionally, it will provide increased capacity of floor slabs for floor-standing mezzanines and pick-towers and have the flexibility to accommodate various office configurations.
In addition, the buildings will seek BREEAM 'Excellent' certification.
CBRE represented Trammell Crow Company on the purchase, and DTRE represented the seller in the transaction, both will be retained as letting agents on the scheme.

When disaster strikes, once you know your staff are safe, each employee's action must be perfectly coordinated. Without this coordination, a small crisis can easily spiral out of control, causing your business significant financial, operational and brand damage.
Coordinating your team in this way can only be done if you have a simple but effective communication system. This system must also cope with the common scenario that all data and mobile networks are down, which can only be achieved through pre-prepared documents, plans and Action Cards which are already pushed to the device.
Fortress Sentinel is such a system and provides an on-device app and backend infrastructure built specifically for you, not multi-tenanted, so you know precisely where your employee data is being held and can meet your GDPR obligations.
Sentinel integrates with your HR systems to ensure that your employee data is up to date.
You then build groups within this data, such as Crisis Management Team, Incident Response Team, Company Board etc.
You will then be able to push documents, plans and Action Cards to each of these groups which will remain resident on their mobile devices.
During a crisis or when needed, you will be able to send messages through one or all media, call, text, email or app.
You can send out notifications or questions that require a response using quick response options ( responders tap yes, or no, etc.).
The results from these answers can be viewed in the form of a doughnut graph, or in a simple list view.
Once you have sufficient responses you can use the system to 're-send' notifications to sub-groups that have been created from the 'yes' group, 'no' group or 'non-responder' group.
Send out notifications from your smartphone or tablet. You do not need to be sat behind a desktop control centre to manage an incident and communicate with your people.
A crisis or an incident doesn't always occur when you are in the office or during office hours. Our emergency broadcast system allows you to send out pre-prepared emergency notifications wherever you are.
Quite often during times of crisis the forms of communication that we rely on are not available.
To cope with this scenario staff must be able to refer to Crisis Management or Business Continuity plans or other documents that have already been defined.
Fortress Sentinel allows you to specify which documents are sent to the mobile devices of which groups. Whenever you update the documents centrally, they are updated on the devices.
Sentinel can also provide Action Card which give staff simple guidance to refer to in specific scenarios, such as Active Shooter, Suspicious Package, Confronted with Firearms etc.
Sentinel enables you to quickly and easily set up conference calls instantly with your groups.
The system dials them into the call rather than them having to find and remember numbers during times at which they may be stressed and extremely busy.

Nagib Tajdin published a dozen Farman Books between 1992 and 2009 after receiving Imam's guidance. He was wrongfully accused in Court by Sachedina and Bhaloo but there was no affidavit from H.H. The Aga Khan nor any known retainer by him to the lawyer. The whole case was bogus. Later in October 2010 the Imam confirmed that he had given instruction to publish the Farman Books in the 1992 Mehmani. The transcript was manipulated and somehow the tape did not contain anything, the Court Typist was arranged by Sachedina's lawyer Mr Gray.
Sachedina's Affidavit says that the Imam mentioned Nagib Tajdin's activities to Sachedina. His earlier testimony says he knew nothing of Nagib's actions before he started working at Aiglemont. Now, Sachedina says that he is the one who mentioned Nagib's name to the Imam.
Sachedina #465:
Cross-Examination by Mr Jiwa.
Q. And in those discussions, did His Highness ever tell you who is behind the publications?
A. He asked the question. He has asked the question, and I have told him Nagib because I know of Nagib as the publisher.
Sachedina #468 - #471:
Q. So His Highness did not tell you that it's Mr. Tajdin. He said 'there are some murids who are doing this and I want you' --
A. I did tell him that the one that I know who is at the centre of this was Nagib.
Q. You told him?
Q. So at that time you told His Highness that you know it's Nagib?
Q. And did His Highness say that there are other individuals as well?
A. No, I said to His Highness I know of Nagib's publications, and I did say to him that when I will go next to Canada, this issue, I will take it up with Nagib.

So, I'm naturally quite a disorganised person. I'm forgetful, I procrastinate constantly , I'm always late and my desk is a huge mess. I'm the type of person who does my homework on bus. I'm that annoying classmate who always has to borrow a geometry set before maths exams. I'm that one friend who says I'll get back to you later, but never will.
Just last month, I thought it would be brilliant idea to plan a surprise birthday party for my friend. First of all, you should know that I only remembered it was her birthday a week beforehand. Then, I had to go through the agony of organising a venue (a task which I ended up entrusting to my mother – making a reservation is just too much responsibility for me). Finally I had to sort out the guest lists – and can I just say that getting people to confirm whether they are free or not is a nightmare (not to mention that my social skills are as poor as my organisation skills).
Anyway, in the end everything did work out all right, but I think it's fairly obvious that organisation is not one of my greatest talents. However, I have managed to prevent my life from turning into complete chaos with a few helpful tricks I've picked up over the years. Hopefully, you'll find them useful to!
At the risk of sounding cliche, I would honestly get nothing done if it weren't for To-Do Lists. As simple as it sounds, just having all my tasks for the day laid out in front of me makes me way more productive!
OK, so you know when someone gives you a piece of important information that you absolutely can't forget and instead of writing it down, you convince yourself that you have the best memory in the world? But, two weeks later, lo and behold you've missed your doctor's appointment, job interview and best friend's birthday party.
Seriously, the amount of times I've written a little 'X' on my hand and told myself I'll remember to do something is unbelievable. To avoid this situation, set reminders on your phone for the day before your event, so you're sure to remember!
If you're like me and can never remember your timetable, just take a picture of it and set it as the lock screen wallpaper on your phone. It may not be that stylish, but it's a total life saver!
If there's something you really want to remember, jot it down on a sticky note and stick it up somewhere you won't miss it like your mirror or computer. Sounds simple, but it works!
If you have tons of paper all over your desk just get a bulletin board and pin up all the loose sheets. This way you can keep your desk tidy and actually read what's written on each sheet of paper when you're bored!.
Well, those are all my tips for today. Do you have any organisation life hacks? If so, leave them in the comments below – I'd love to know!
Also, I'm so sorry, I know I haven't uploaded in ages , but I'm actually on holidays in France at the moment and haven't had my laptop with me! Of course, an organised person would have prepared posts beforehand… ;). Anyways, don't worry – next week I'll be back to posting regularly.
Have a great week too !
And these are very helpful organisational hacks..thank you !

Jackpot Alert Lottery News
The Lottery Roundup – A big win. An even bigger one to come!
Kevin W
UPDATED MARCH 4, 2019
A massive American jackpot taken off the board this weekend.
An even bigger one is still available to be won.
It's another eventful week in the world of lotteries. Here we go…!
New Jersey's New Mega Millions Mega Millionaire
For the second year in a row, a March Mega Millions jackpot has been won in the state of New Jersey.
A single ticket matched all six winning numbers selected on March 1 in the American Mega Millions draw.
The winning ticket was sold at a Quick Check petrol station on New Brunswick Avenue in Phillipsburg.
The winning numbers selected were 29, 33, 39, 60 and 66, plus the gold Mega Ball 21.
The jackpot for the lucky winner is $273 million (cash value of $162,596,784).
American Mega Millions had been rolling over since it was last won on January 1, when a group of 23 New York co-workers won a $437 million prize.
The jackpot will now reset at $40 million for the next Mega Millions draw on March 5.
Watch this space for more details about the winner of this massive jackpot as soon as they come available.
American Powerball Jackpot Surge
America's other big lottery saw its jackpot roll over for the 19th consecutive time this past weekend.
Wednesday's American Powerball jackpot now stands at an estimated $381 Million.
Lottery enthusiasts are taking note.
Based on historical patterns, this is roughly the time when significantly more casual lottery players jump into the mix to scoop up tickets. The jackpot will climb by much larger increments than it usually does. Powerball fever is about to take hold!
Saturday's draw saw two tickets sold that matched all five of the main numbers 1, 19, 25, 27, 68 but missed the Powerball 21.
Both of these tickets won $1,000,000 each. The winning tickets were sold in Ohio and Delaware.
Lotteries.com is gearing up for what will undoubtedly be much higher than usual demand on American Powerball bets. If you've been sitting on the fence, now is the time to get in on the action.
This jackpot is not going to keep climbing forever. Somebody is going to win it! Will it be you?
CLICK HERE to bet on American Powerball at Lotteries.com.
The Return of the Australian Superdraw
If you haven't already, don't forget to mark down March 30 on your Lottery Calendar as the date of the next Australian Superdraw.
I keep spreading the word about these Superdraws because they aren't as widely known or written about in comparison to other more prominent lotteries.
The 20 million guaranteed jackpot will be contested for in Australia's 6/45 Saturday Lotto.
What a rare combination! A significant life-changing jackpot coupled with a lottery with only 45 balls to choose from in its field of numbers.
Only 6 or 7 Australian Superdraws take place during each calendar year. These are draws I never miss because of their incredible value.
You don't have to wait until the week of the draw to buy in.

Located at the Navajo Tribal Park near Lake Powell, Antelope Canon has narrow paths, created by water flowing through them for millions of years.
With pictures of the stunning slot canyon popping up left and right, the place is no longer a well kept secret among landscape photographers and today, just like the other national parks and natural wonders in the area, the canyon attracts its fair share of visitors. More and more people join an Antelope Canyon in order to photograph the Antelope Canyon by themselves.
Planning ahead and knowing that there are actually two parts to Antelope Canyon is half the work. There are two canyons – Upper and Lower – both located in Page, AZ. Mid-day(11am-1pm) between the months of March and October is the best time to photograph these slots, with the shafts of light shining down from the openings above. The price of admission to Upper Antelope Canyon is more expensive than that to Lower Antelope Canyon. Also, there are photography tours available in both upper and lower canyons. Even though it's a little expensive than the ordinary tour, it's totally worth it. The guides who take you along the photography tour generally do a wonderful job helping you "chase" the light. Highly recommend!
As it is very dusty inside the canyon, bring a rocket blaster or a cloth so you can clean your lens occasionally.
To decide on your lens in advance! An important note to remember if you are shooting with a DSLR is that you should not change your lenses inside these canyons because it is very dusty inside Antelope Canyon and there are sand particles flying and lying around everywhere. Trust me you wouldn't want to change your lenses inside the canyons. If you have a second camera, by all means, take it along with a different lens on it. You will get a different perspective. And if you like, carry a cloth to clean the lenses frequently.
The Antelope Canyons are generally crowded. People keep streaming in and out, in large groups. So expect people both in front and behind you. With so much going around its easy to be engrossed into the view finder. So you can try to use the live view, as well as an articulating screen (some of the newest cameras have them). When you are ready to take the shot, you can quickly check the view finder and make sure everything is good and press the shutter. This will help you be aware of things happening around you.
There will be times when you have to wait for a group of people to move before you can take a picture, so keep moving and try to use that time to come up with different compositions. Look up and try to compose shots. Look up and search for details when you photograph Antelope Canyon. It's a good way to avoid crowds and get beautiful shots.
However, you should also remember that having people in your pictures is not always a bad thing. A person dressed in a contrasting color can add some nice interest and scale to your pictures.
Antelope Canyon is spiritual to the Navajo tribes. They talk about the forms and shapes carved into the rock by water that flows through the canyons. One of the greatest pleasure in shooting these canyons is to see the unseen, find what is hidden, and put them in the center stage and show it in pictures.
Antelope Canyon is a very narrow slot canyon and just like every tight space, it has some bright and some dark areas. Sometimes it can be hard to get an even exposure that has no underexposed and overexposed parts. You should be fine with three exposures if you want to give exposure blending a try.
Shooting multiple exposures is by no means a must though and many photographers get stunning results with just one exposure. But, if you are up for something new or already know how to exposure blend, it's a great solution.
Actually it is hard to take a bad photo of Antelope Canyon. The narrow sand stone paths, the twisting and turning lines and the light beams shining through to the bottom naturally photograph very well. However, the 10 tips will do help you take beautiful and unique pictures of Antelope Canyon.

Home Social Workers Mohd. Aslam Chopdar – A true example of a Responsible Citizen
Mohd. Aslam Chopdar – A true example of a Responsible Citizen
Mohd. Aslam Chopdar
People discussing and commenting on the role of the government and political parties is a scene seen so frequently in India. People pour their opinions about the irresponsible political leaders and the ill-functioning of the government. But people who come up with a remedy to these problems are only seen once in a blue moon. Pointing out the mistakes of others is found more feasible than working on the pitfalls in the system. And while some people recognize these pitfalls they do not even consider it their responsibility to take any action. The rights of the citizens are taught in the school itself but people forget that it is 'their duty' to protect their rights by raising their voice against injustice.
On the other hand, there are also some enlightened people among us who are well aware about all the ill activities going on around them and who play an active role in reforming the prevailing situations. Such an active personality is Mohd. Aslam Chopdar, who is not just a titular citizen but a citizen who knows very well how to protect the rights of himself and others!
India is a country with world's lengthiest written constitution, thus, taking a long time and a hectic process to reach the goal of attaining justice. People with grievances and other needs or requirements are pulled behind due to this hectice process in the long run. Md. Aslam Chopdar, here, acts as a catalyst who puts forth the urgent demands of people before the concerned authorities. In Rajasthan, Aslam has made the lives of students thrivable through his organisation called 'Rajasthan Rojgar Mahasangh'. This organisation gives a voice to the difficulties faced by the students of Rajasthan before the concerned people.
Aslam has taken action for the understudies both at the regional and the state levels. This journey of reformation started in 2016, when he raised concern regarding the filling of the empty posts in the 2016 REET Teacher Recruitment. Politely presenting their requests and opinions of the students did not do any good to him. Thus, compelled to take some serious action, he along with many others showed discontentment on the entryways of the Judiciary, eventually leading the court to take decision in the favour of the students.
While working diligently for the youth, Aslam did not let the concern of teenagers go out of his mind.
Not every hero comes wearing a cape. And Md. Aslam Chopdar is 'the hero' without a cape. A selfless human being, Aslam can also be seen as a true patriot who has a deep consideration about his people. He says, "I don't plan to do anything for myself, I am a people's man and my life is devoted to serving society. It is a dismal situation that these gifted understudies need to go through such troubles due to the framework." He also says, "My battle isn't with the public authority yet against the debasement that exists in the framework."
The social, mental and physical crisis caused by Corona pandemic has left a deep scar in the history of human civilization. Yet people like Aslam had tried their best to ease the aching nerves of people. He did so by distributing masks and ensuring oxygen supply for the needies, made arrangements for the underprivileged.
Recently, Aslam Chopdar has taken up the responsibility of 11 poor children who do not have a father.
Aslam Chopdar is distributing free slippers to the children whose feet do not have slippers.
Chopdar has also distributed free books to thousands of children.
His acts of kindness and selfless service to the mankind is an example for those people who sit and criticize the system instead of taking any fruitful action by themselves. Mohd. Aslam Chopdar is a true epitome of a responsible citizen.

Zucker's scandal, too…
Posted by Erik Wemple | Nov 30, 2021 | Drudge Report | 0 |
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/11/30/cnn-chris-cuomo-scandal-andrew-cuomo-jeff-zucker/
On July 15, CNN host Chris Cuomo testified in an investigation by the New York attorney general into the alleged sexual misconduct of Cuomo's brother, then-Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York. "How do I protect my family? How do I help protect him?" said Cuomo during that session. "Probably should have been thinking more about how I protect myself, which just never occurred to me."
That imperative has certainly occurred to the CNN host by now. In response to the release of investigative documents by New York Attorney General Letitia James, CNN on Monday issued this statement on Chris Cuomo's wide-ranging efforts to help his brother through the crisis: "The thousands of pages of additional transcripts and exhibits that were released today by the [New York] Attorney General deserve a thorough review and consideration. We will be having conversations and seeking additional clarity about their significance as they relate to CNN over the next several days."
A "thorough review and consideration," huh? Does that mean that CNN is now investigating Chris Cuomo? That's a step the Erik Wemple Blog urged CNN to take in August, after James released her report on the scandal — a document that noted the anchor's role in the governor's pushback campaign. The use of Chris Cuomo and other outside advisers with loyalties only to the governor, concluded the report, "contributed to creating an environment where the Governor's sexually harassing conduct was allowed to flourish and persist." (We've sought comment from Chris Cuomo and will update this post with any response.)
At that point, CNN could have gotten way ahead of Monday's news cycle. Just like the investigators for the attorney general, it could have pressed its employee for everything about his involvement and then published the findings, along with any appropriate disciplinary action — you know, like a real news organization.
Instead, the network that prizes itself on covering breaking news is months late to a story sitting right in its own office.
There's a pandemic-long backdrop to this saga: In the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, when Andrew Cuomo was basking in adoration for his handling of the crisis, Chris Cuomo had no compunctions about hosting his governor brother for some kissy and much-commented-upon interviews. Those compunctions set in months later, as sexual harassment allegations piled up.
"Obviously, I'm aware of what's going on with my brother. And, obviously, I cannot cover it, because he is my brother," said Chris Cuomo in March of this year. When The Post reported in May that Chris Cuomo had participating in strategy sessions with the governor's team, CNN issued a statement conceding that "it was inappropriate to engage in conversations that included members of the Governor's staff, which Chris acknowledges."
On Aug. 16, following the release of the attorney general's report, Chris Cuomo told his viewers that he was speaking his "final word" on the matter. "My position has never changed," said Cuomo during his broadcast that night. "I never misled anyone about the information I was delivering, or not delivering, on this program. I never attacked nor encouraged anyone, to attack any woman, who came forward. I never made calls to the press about my brother's situation."
Really? In his testimony, Cuomo was asked whether he'd investigated whether there would be additional accusers coming forward against Andrew Cuomo. His response: "Yes … I would — when asked, I would reach out to sources, other journalists, to see if they had heard of anybody else coming out." Elsewhere in his testimony, Cuomo said, "I tried to never approach anybody who was covering the story. I didn't want to make them uncomfortable, you know?" In text messages with Melissa DeRosa, the governor's top aide, Chris Cuomo writes "On it" when asked if he could check his sources about an upcoming story in Politico. Later on, Chris Cuomo writes back, "No one has heard that yet."
Among Chris Cuomo's intelligence tasks was to discover when Ronan Farrow's investigation would appear in the New Yorker. In his testimony, he said he didn't call Farrow himself because he didn't want to influence the story. However: "The idea of one reporter calling another to find out about what's coming down the pipe is completely business-as-usual," he argued.
Well, sort of: It is indeed commonplace for a reporter who's working on a story to seek info on a competitor's publication timeline; it is not, however, commonplace for a journalist who's running a political consulting operation for his brother to seek info on a competitor's publication timeline. (Farrow declined to comment on the record.)
In another text message, Chris Cuomo wrote to DeRosa, "I have a lead on the wedding girl," a reference to Anna Ruch, who told the New York Times that Andrew Cuomo had touched her inappropriately at a September 2019 wedding. Chris Cuomo checked out the story and found that Ruch had been "consistent" from the start about her claims. "So that's that," said Chris Cuomo.
Everyone should be so lucky as to have a family member as faithful as Chris Cuomo. "He's my brother," he testified. "And if I can help my brother, I do. If he wants me to hear something, I will. If he wants me to weigh in on something, I'll try."
Yet Chris Cuomo also has meaningful responsibilities to his viewers and his colleagues at CNN. In this case, those loyalties and responsibilities conflicted: Sure, help your brother, but don't provide messaging advice to the governor of New York; don't follow a lead on the "wedding girl"; don't become a player in a top national story that your own colleagues are trying to nail down.
Yet, thus far, Chris Cuomo has escaped CNN disciplinary action for running afoul of commonly understood journalistic guidelines. His immunity stems in large part from his standing: a face of the network, a highly paid anchor and a close colleague of CNN Worldwide President Jeff Zucker. Any mid-level producer who did a comparable amount of line-crossing would have met the full wrath of the CNN News Standards and Practices Policy Guide.
It's unclear how many details of Chris Cuomo's involvement were known to CNN all along. What is clear is that 100 percent of his misdeeds are also now the misdeeds of Zucker, who didn't launch a "thorough review and consideration" months ago, before the damning emails and texts surfaced.
Because those emails and texts usually surface, somehow or other.

Knox observers say Brexit brings uncertainty
The long-term effect of Britain voting to leave the European Union may be hard to gauge, but the immediate impact is uncertainty for the business world and a boon to some U.S. tourists, former Knoxville Mayor Victor Ashe said Friday.
Knox observers say Brexit brings uncertainty The long-term effect of Britain voting to leave the European Union may be hard to gauge, but the immediate impact is uncertainty for the business world and a boon to some U.S. tourists, former Knoxville Mayor Victor Ashe said Friday. Check out this story on knoxnews.com: https://www.knoxnews.com/story/money/2016/06/24/knox-observers-say-brexit-brings-uncertainty/91013652/
the Knoxville News Sentinel Published 10:21 a.m. ET June 24, 2016

Stock markets in Britain, Europe, the U.S. and elsewhere sank and the value of the British pound collapsed after the Thursday vote.
'On the plus side, the dollar is much stronger against the British pound now,' Ashe said. 'That will make it easier for anyone from here visiting Britain right now. London just got less expensive.'
Bill Fox, director of the University of Tennessee Center for Business and Economic Research, said because of the relatively small size of the U.K. economy compared with the global economy, the immediate economic impact for Tennessee of Britain leaving the European Union will likely be small.
'The current impact is that this adds a lot of uncertainty as to where this is going to go,' Fox said.
The worry is how other countries in Europe will react and whether they might also opt to leave the EU, Fox said.
'It's just too early to know what will happen, but this adds a lot of uncertainty and that will create a lot of volatility in the market,' he said.
Ashe agreed the concern is the British action could trigger similar movements in other countries to leave established institutions such as the EU. He noted the prime minister of Scotland has already called for a new referendum on splitting with England.
'We are entering a time of economic uncertainty,' Ashe said. 'The world is much smaller now, and Europe is an important trading partner. Undeniably there will be impacts on our economy.'
William Rukeyser, a Knoxville resident and journalist who held top positions with the Wall Street Journal, Fortune, Whittle Communications and other organizations, said by email he did not see the issue as having a significant effect on the U. S. economy long-term.
'Short term, the fall of the British pound is good news for Americans traveling to England this summer,' he said. 'America's fundamental interest in European integration was to guard against new intra-European wars and to present a united front against our adversaries. Those goals may be threatened.'
Ashe, who served as U.S. ambassador to Poland under the George W. Bush administration, said several issues are at play in Britain and in Europe. Many British people were upset at the mass migrations into their country under EU authority, and there is dissatisfaction in Europe over the waste and inefficiencies in that organization, he said.
'This is a political earthquake that will have a lot of aftershocks,' Ashe said. 'This is a story that will play out over a period of years.'
Ashe was asked whether he believed the issue might have any political ramifications for the coming U. S. elections.
'It will be a talking point and will heighten interest in foreign affairs, but ultimately domestic issues will determine the election,' he said.
UT law professor Douglas A. Blaze, who was in London on Friday, offered some observations. Except for dozens of reporters, the scene outside Parliament and on Downing Street on Thursday and Friday was unremarkable, he said.
'The general reaction seems to be one of surprise followed by 'Now what?' ' he said by email. 'Even the few folks I spoke to about Brexit before the vote that were supporting leaving thought remain would prevail.'
Blaze said people he has talked to have raised concerns that without Britain involved, the EU will be softer on responding to aggressions such as Russian actions in Ukraine, and that travel for British citizens in Europe will be more complicated.
