Find facilities near to or in, Willersey.
From Friday 22nd July 2016 and for every Friday from then on a mobile Post Office van will be outside the Bell Inn from 12:45 to 14:45.
Most Post Office services are available including letters & parcels, banking, savings,cash in and out, insurance, travel services, broadband & phone and paper forms.
Willersey is about 1.7 miles from Broadway depending on your route.
Sadly the Willersey Post Office closed in May 2011 so other than the mobile Post Office, the nearest full time is now in Broadway is in the Co-op Supermarket. It is open from 9:00 to 17:30 weekdays and 9:00 to 12:30 on Saturdays. Reduced services are available outside these hours. Current banknotes featuring the image of Her Majesty The Queen will continue to be legal tender. A further announcement regarding existing Bank of England banknotes will be made once the period of mourning has been observed. Although the Bank of England has yet to confirm the date that the coins and cash will change, there is likely to be a significant transition phase. In the UK, there is currently £80 Billion of money in circulation featuring Queen Elizabeth II on the reverse but detailed plans have been in place for this for a long time and the new cash will be produced and distributed into general circulation, while the old money will be gradually phased out. It is not just in the UK. The Queen's image is also used on money in countries such as Canada, Australia and New Zealand - and they too will have to phase out those notes and coins.

25 of The Most Romantic Photos of ALL Time
Zahra A.
Authors and thinkers take Romance as one of the feelings that are expressive as well as pleasurable because of emotional attraction between two or more persons who have association of love. Romantic pictures, since history have been capturing these feelings. Before camera was not available, artists had frozen those moments in paintings and inscriptions and writers did this in their writings. We cannot ignore the poets when we talk about romance but still the famous saying "A picture is worth a thousand words" has its strength and proven around us. We see complex ideas conveyed with a single and still image. It also suitably characterizes as one of the visualization's main goals of that makes a detailed explanation possible to be understood quickly through romantic pictures.
There are volumes and volumes written on romance but we take this in general terms that implies an expression of strong romantic love we call it a strong and deep emotional desires for connecting with another person intimately or romantically(period). On one side that love between two life partners which is at its peak when one of them departs and on the other hand is the love for country for which a citizen decides to sacrifice life. There are events when a nurse fell in love with her patient and then a doctor fell in love with a colleague nurse. Then there are brothers where one donated his kidney for the other to save his brother's life for the sake of love. We can capture all such moments in romantic pictures.
We looked for some rare and famous best romantic pictures in our quest for knowledge and bringing a fathom to understand and appreciate this phenomenon and to differentiate it from a mere lust. Of course, it doesn't take a lot to show romance but to capture that to freeze the moments takes an expertise. These romantic pictures are inspiring and each is worth thousand words.

Virtuoso pianist Stephen Coxe gathers his friends to perform chamber music spanning several centuries, featuring Bach's cantata Ich habe genung, Telemann's Oboe Sonata in F, Brahms' Sonata for viola and piano, and more. Professor Coxe is joined by soloists, instrumentalists, the Governor's School Orchestra, and the Camarata Choristers. Not to be missed!


Tell me who your best friends are, and I will tell you who you are. If you run with wolves, you will learn how to howl. But, if you associate with eagles, you will learn how to soar to great heights.
Proverbs says, "A mirror reflects a man's face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses." The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with whom you closely associate - for the good and the bad.
Think about it; almost all of our sorrows spring out of the relationships with the wrong people. Instead, "Keep out of the suction caused by those who drift backwards" (E.K.Piper).
The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve. Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others it increases your mediocrity. A true Bulgarian proverb confirms, "If you find yourself taking two steps forward and one step backwards, invariably it's because you have mixed associations in your life." If a loafer isn't a nuisance to you, it's a sign that you are somewhat of a loafer yourself. I have discovered that an important attribute in successful people is their impatience with negative thinking and negative acting people.
A true friend is one who is there to care. They remain your friend even if you don't deserve to have a friend. They will see you through when others think you're through.
If you were to list your greatest benefits, resources or strengths, you would find that money is one of the least important ones while some of your greatest resources are the people you know. A true friend sees beyond you to what you can be.
Invest in good relationships. The way to make a true friend is to be one. Your wealth is where your friends are. Consider what Francesco Guicciardini said: "Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make the right ones."
As you grow, your associates will change. Some of your friends will not want you to go on. They will want you to stay where they are. Friends that don't help you climb, will want you to crawl. Your friends will stretch your vision or choke your dream. Those that don't increase you, will eventually decrease you.
Consider this: never receive counsel from unproductive people. Never discuss your problems with someone incapable of contributing to the solution, because those who never succeed themselves are always first to tell you how. Not everyone has a right to speak into your life. You are certain to get the worst of the bargain when you exchange ideas with the wrong person.
Don't follow anyone who's not going anywhere. With some people you spend an evening: with others you invest it. Be careful where you stop to inquire for directions along the road of life. Wise is the person who fortifies his life with the right friendships.

This little-known memorial for Grand Junction's Coach Schwalm has a unique story you just have to know.
In all my visits to Stocker Stadium, I swear I had never noticed this structure before. It is located past the south end of the football field, on the far side of the running track toward the barn.
After I did a little searching I found the story of what tragically happened to Elmer and how that memorial came to be.
The memorial was originally a piece of a five ton, seven-foot tall fountain with a brass lion's head and a stoplight on top of it. From 1911 to 1923 it was located at 5th Street and Rood Avenue. It was eventually moved because of road paving, finding a new home at Washington Park.
That is until 1934. After Elmer died in a horrific car accident, Tom Gardner got a hold of the old fountain, removed the stoplight and lion's head and turned it into a public drinking fountain in Coach Schwalm's name.
The school decided to unveil the memorial fountain during a football game on November 13, 1934.
So, believe it or not, that structure has been there for more than 82 years. Dedicated to a coach who "never wanted to leave the field of play."

This research explores the potential benefits derived from a proposed green intervention which combines living envelopes (green roofs and green façades) and green energy envelopes (photovoltaic and thermal panels), as a means of addressing the concept of carbon neutral cities. It proposes to take advantage of the environmental contributions that living envelopes provide, in terms of food production and the reduction of energy demand; as well as the energy produced through green energy envelopes such as photovoltaic and thermal panels. This green living envelopes intervention is applied to a specific site of downtown Vancouver, Canada. The research explores the contribution of such a green intervention. It analyses existing conditions of the site in terms of different building types and uses as well as their current energy consumption and CO2 emissions. It then proposes to incorporate living envelopes such as green roofs and façades, as well as green energy envelopes by applying the proposed Vancouver Green Factor. Achieved findings from such a green intervention shows that the total energy consumed by buildings by the greening of roofs and façades would be reduced by 17%. In addition, energy produced through photovoltaic and thermal panels is enough to cover 16% of the energy demand. Moreover, by using green roofs as food producers, 54% of the vegetable demand of the people living in the selected site would be covered, further contributing to a reduction of 4% of the total food production. This translates into a reduction of 45% of CO2 emissions produced by the selected site.

House Republicans released their proposal this week to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The two bills, one from the House Energy & Commerce Committee and another from the House Ways & Means Committee, are together referred to as the American Health Care Act (AHCA).
The ACA had a significant impact in the cancer community by prioritizing prevention, making comprehensive health care coverage more affordable for many Americans, and protecting consumers from denials and higher costs based on pre-existing conditions like a cancer diagnosis. The policy changes proposed in the AHCA – including repealing the Prevention and Public Health Fund, changing how tax credits to purchase private insurance are structured and how Medicaid is funded, and requiring continuous coverage – also have the potential to impact cancer prevention and control in major ways. Click here to compare specific pieces of the ACA, like the individual mandate and premium subsidies, to the AHCA. You can also find your county on this map to see how average tax credits in your area under the ACA would compare to those under the AHCA.
Supporting cancer prevention and increasing access to quality cancer care through affordable public and private health insurance are priorities of both the WI Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan 2015-2020 and the WI Cancer Council Policy Agenda. The WI Comprehensive Cancer Control Program will continue to monitor proposed changes as they relate to these priorities and will provide updates and resources as more information is available.

Giants interview former Arizona coach Steve Wilks for defensive coordinator
Search to replace Patrick Graham continues

The New York Giants have reportedly interviewed former Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks for their vacant defensive coordinator position.
Wilks joins Don 'Wink' Martindale, Sean Desai and Jim Schwartz among candidates who have reportedly interviewed. The Giants also interviewed Teryl Austin on Saturday, but Austin has since accepted a promotion to become defensive coordinator of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Wilks was with the Carolina Panthers from 2015-21017, serving as defensive coordinator in his final season with the Panthers. He was hired as head coach of the Cardinals in 2018, but was fired after a 3-13 season. Here is a look at whether or not Wilks got a fair shake in Arizona. Wilks had interviewed for the Giants' head coaching job that offseason, as well. The Giants hired Pat Shurmur.
Wilks, 52, was defensive coordinator of the Cleveland Browns in 2019, and is currently defensive coordinator at Missouri.
Wilks has also coached defensive backs for the Chicago Bears and San Diego Chargers.
Pro Football Network says that Wilks has traditionally run a 4-3 defensive front.
The Giants are searching for a replacement after Patrick Graham moved on to become defensive coordinator of the Las Vegas Raiders.


That has to be the question many producers are asking each other — and anyone else who will listen — as record slaughter numbers seem to have limited impact on cash prices and apparently no impact on Lean Hogs futures prices. The answer is that this is not your father's pork industry. It is something completely new. Or at least so different from the past decade that it looks like something completely new. Let's count the differences.
The United States' subsidized and mandated ethanol program began in the mid-2000s, and pushed corn demand higher at a faster pace than U.S. corn producers could raise corn output. The result was corn prices that rationed the available supply by forcing other corn users to reduce their usage either by contracting their businesses or by finding alternatives to corn. The U.S. pork industry stopped growing and found alternatives, but costs of production rose sharply from the low $50s per hundredweight carcass to $60 to $80 per hundredweight carcass. Then the drought of 2012 came along and made the situation much worse, pushing costs to a record of $95.60 per hundredweight carcass for hogs sold in October 2012. Those bad old days are over (at least for now), and costs have been in the low-$60s the past two years and are expected to remain that way based on corn and soybean meal future prices as of Nov. 6. Large projected 2018 year-end stocks suggest that these cost levels are likely to continue. One crop failure would certainly push costs higher, but it would take the failure of two straight U.S. crops or successive failures in the United States and South America to push costs anywhere near those 2012 highs.
Export demand has been robust all year and apparently remains strong given lower wholesale prices and the relatively weak U.S. dollar. Exports through August had exceeded year-ago levels by nearly 9%. We don't think fourth quarter exports will match that growth rate primarily due to excellent exports last year in November and December. But a stronger peso should help exports to Mexico — where they were up 20.6%, year-on-year, through August — remain large even if they are smaller than those high totals of last fall. On the domestic front, export struggled mightily in January and February but has improved steadily versus one year ago since then. Real per capita expenditures for pork (a good gauge of that status of consumer-level demand) were 4% higher than one year ago in July and August. Though much lower than this summer, relatively strong wholesale pork prices are an indicator that domestic demand is still good — especially when one considers the supply situation.
We believe the export situation is primarily dependent on trade issues, at least to the downside. Current rancor over the North American Free Trade Agreement, Korea-U.S. and just about all of our other trade deals has cast a pall over future trade even though the current situation is good. Even a trade negotiation failure would not have an actual impact until 2019 at the earliest but just how much might bad blood and bad attitudes impact sales? The borders won't close, but U.S. product will become more expensive if these trade deals go away. Won't some buyers turn elsewhere to make sure they have supplies available at reasonable costs? And the European Union-Japan free trade deal goes into effect Jan. 1, 2019. That will begin the process of reducing tariffs on EU product. Our deal to get that done went away with the failure of the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Where are the promised bi-lateral agreements to replace it?
Domestic demand would benefit from wage and personal income growth. Real per capita, disposable personal income grew by only 0.7% last year and has grown by only 0.4% this year. Low unemployment should eventually push wages higher, but we have seen scant evidence of that so far. Lower beef prices will weigh on domestic pork demand. I fear that bellies can't come to the rescue every time we need a demand shot in the arm.
Lots of hogs, but just how many?
USDA's September Hogs and Pigs report says there were plenty coming and we have seen plenty. Packer margins, however, have declined to the point that packers aren't nearly as enthusiastic about keeping hogs moving and several plants were idle last Saturday, limiting weekly slaughter to "just" 2.453 million head. That compares to our slaughter forecast of 2.577 million. My "slaughter" forecast is actually a forecast of the number of hogs that would be available last week. Whether packers choose to kill them or not is really another question. They can't harvest them unless they are available, but they can choose to wait. I am a bit concerned that this is happening but weights have increased 2 pounds since the first week of October and the average for the same period over the past five years is 1.8 pounds. That difference is not alarming at all. Further, there doesn't appear the kind of pressure yet on cash hogs that would say there are a lot of pigs desperately needing a home. That may change anytime, but we are close to the end of the slaughter window for USDA's 120-179 pound category in the September report. Did they over count those pigs? Did they under count the 60-119 pound group? Recall that it was only 1.8% larger than last year, nearly 1% lower than analysts had expected. The real kicker is that we know producers' responses on the weight category questions in the hogs and pigs survey are not much more than guesses.
So what do you do? Don't look a gift pig in the mouth! December futures aren't at $68 anymore, but they are still over $64. February is near contract highs at $72 and change. Ditto for April at $75.60. Summer months are at their contract life highs, but given what has happened so far, I wouldn't get too aggressive there unless you use an options strategy that leaves the top side open.
My cost model (cost levels cited earlier) and these futures prices say that profits will average very near $20 per head in 2018. That figure applies to the best producers out there, but it is still impressive. If it comes to pass, it will be the third best year in the last decade behind only the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus-fueled 2014 and the swine flu rebound year of 2010. Not bad when supplies will be record large for the third year in a row.

Are you afraid of death? Imagine just how much your fears hold you back from God's awesome plan for your life! In this week's Gospel reflection, Father Ian VanHeusen examines Lk. 24:35-48. Much like Jesus' plan for his disciples, it's hard for us to imagine what might be in store for us – and for the world – if we allow God to transform us from the inside out.
All through His public ministry and again after the Resurrection, Jesus is instructing and preparing the apostles to overcome the fear of death. We too are in that process, learning daily to trust Him in dying to self, surrendering to God's grace so that through Him we might do powerful things. Like the disciples, let us be emboldened to take big risks and allow Him to make something unexpected and courageous out of our littleness.

Like most Wisconsin townships Fitchburg was a farming community from the beginning and in the face of suburban sprawl has largely been able to retain this rural heritage, at least in the southern 2/3 of what is now the City of Fitchburg. Besides the cultivated fields, the most iconic feature of rural America is its barns, designed to shelter equipment, livestock and harvested agricultural products. During the last 175 years this iconic image has seen changes due to improved building materials and concepts, but in Fitchburg the rural life has also had to deal with the encroachment of suburban sprawl. The following is a pictorial review of barns in Fitchburg, and how they have evolved in changing times.
The early Fitchburg farmers built barns out of logs. The building material was plentiful and frequently on the farm property. However, this material was heavy, limiting the height of the structure and required considerable shaping of each log. The above log barn, built in the 1840s, was owned by the Fox family who had purchased it from the Pierce family.
With the advent of the sawmill, lumber became available to build bigger and taller barns providing more space to shelter animals and hay in the harsh Wisconsin winters. However, this more pliable material did raise the cost of building a barn. The cost of building a good-size barn was $1,200 in 1895 with lumber accounting for over 60% of the cost. At this time workers were paid $2.50 a day. Vroman's barn, shown above, was the first timber frame barn in Fitchburg.
Stone was another material used to build barns. This material, obtained from local quarries and held in place with cement, lasted longer than wood but was more expensive to build. The McKenna stone barn at 2800 S. Seminole Highway is 150 years old (above left). As a compromise many barns had a stone base upon which a timber barn was built. This reduced the rotting where snow set against the barn's base for several months. The Whalen barn at 5823 Whalen Road (above right) is an example of a stone base timber barn.
Until the late 1800s Wisconsin was a wheat producing state, fueled partly in the 1860s by the need to feed the Union army during the Civil War. A loss of essential nutrients in the soil caused by wheat growing and a devastating wheat disease changed the direction of farming in Wisconsin forever. Wisconsin became a major dairy producing state helped along by the addition of railroad lines that delivered the milk daily. The evolution of this change in the late 1800s is described in the video How Cows Created Wisconsin beginning about minute 35 (click on title to see video).
Before this revolution, farmers had a few cows to fulfill their personal needs, but the long cold winters made it difficult to store enough food for a herd of cattle. The introduction of storage pits that were being used in Europe provided the means to store silage during the long Wisconsin winters. These pits, developed thousands of years ago, allowed easy access to the silage, but required considerable weight to squeeze out the air to prevent spoilage. To get around this, tall silos allowing the weight of the silage to squeeze out the air were developed that were first made of wood and then stone or cement. These silos became a mainstay of farms, as seen in photographs for over a hundred years. However, the high maintenance cost of machinery used to load and unload the silage has recently resulted in farms returning to storage pits that use plastic covers and large tires to provide the weight to squeeze out the air. The top two photographs above show Fox barns with prominent silos in the early 1900s. The bottom two photographs above show the Gillette dairy farm (left) and the Purcell farm (right) with their prominent silos.
Like any building, barns age with the passing of years. To extend their lifespan, barns are periodically rejuvenated with new wood and especially new roofs. The Haight barn near the northeast corner of Haight Farm Road and County Highway MM is shown here with a new roof.
Some barns slowly succumb to the elements and are replaced by newer structures. The ravages of nature work on wood as well as stone. The O'Brien barn (above left) still stands today at 2747 S. Seminole Highway but is slowly returning to the Earth. The McKenna barn (above right) at 2800 S. Seminole Highway is celebrating its 150th year but due to extensive structural damage will be demolished soon.
Some barns are torn down and reconstructed at a new location. The Kinney barn, built in 1901 at 5325 Irish Lane, was dismantled and the materials used to build a barn at 2268 Caine Road.
Some barns are moved to a new location. The Sykes barn is shown on a trailer as it is being taken to its new home.
Some barns beyond repair are reduced to ashes by controlled burns such as this one at 6065 Whalen Road (above left). However, even newer barns sometimes are lost to fires as this dairy barn at 6158 County Highway M in 2008 (above right).
And finally, some barns are altered to serve another purpose. The John Mann horse barn (above left) was remodeled into a quaint casual restaurant (above right). This restaurant complemented the historic John Mann house that was turned into a more formal dinner restaurant. Together, they are named Quivey's Grove.

Juventus vs Inter: live stream, preview, prediction, kick off, venue & watch online
Juventus will host Inter Milan at the Allianz Stadium in the continued Serie A 2019/20 competition on Sunday (08/03/2020).
This week, Serie A is supposed to play Week 27. However, several delays that occur due to the Coronavirus in Italy since two weeks ago made several matches change schedule. That includes the second leg of the Coppa Italia semifinals, Juventus vs AC Milan, and Napoli vs Inter Milan, which should have been played midweek yesterday.
The last time Juventus played their match was on 27 February 2019, against hosts Lyon in the last 16 of the Champions League first leg. Juventus gave up 0-1.
Meanwhile, Inter's last match was February 28, 2019, which hosted Ludogorets Razgrad in the last 32 of the Europa League second leg. Inter won 2-1 through goals from Cristiano Biraghi and Romelu Lukaku and qualified with a 4-1 aggregate.
Lazio meanwhile leads the standings with 62 points from 26 matches. Juventus are ranked second with 60 points from 25 matches, while Inter has only played 24 matches and have 54 points ranked third.
At the first meeting in Serie A this season, Juventus won 2-1 at home to Inter, and the match was a stage for sharpening the sharpness of the Argentine players. Juventus took the lead through Paulo Dybala's goal 4 minutes, and Inter evened the score through a Lautaro Martinez penalty in the 18th minute. Juventus's victory was determined by Gonzalo Higuain's goal in the 80th minute.
Inter cannot lose if they do not want to fall further behind in the hunt for the Scudetto Serie A. Can Antonio Conte, who will return to the Allianz Stadium for the first time as an opposing coach, bring Inter to a satisfactory result?

Ohio court sides with NASCAR in challenge to broadcast tax
By JULIE CARR SMYTH - Nov. 22, 2022 04:27 PM EST
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that the state's attempt to tax NASCAR for broadcasting its races in Ohio was unlawful.
At issue before the court was whether the state tax commissioner properly subjected those broadcasts to Ohio's commercial activities tax during an audit from 2005 to 2010. The tax requires payments on a company's annual sales.
The court ruled that the Daytona Beach, Florida-based NASCAR's broadcast revenue, licensing revenue, media revenue and sponsorship fees were wrongly subjected to the tax. A group of three justices on the 7-member court dissented over licensing fees.
The state had argued that it imposed the tax based on NASCAR's commercial activity, including the organization's sale of Ohio broadcast rights. Tuesday's ruling reverses a Board of Tax Appeals ruling in its favor and sends the organization's disputed tax bill — which totaled $529,520 — back to the panel to be readjusted.
NASCAR maintained that its commercial activities in Ohio such as broadcasting races and selling merchandise are done by other companies — Fox Broadcasting Co., for example — which are taxed accordingly.
Applying the tax to NASCAR broadcasts in Ohio was "an unconstitutional expansion of tax liability for out-of-state content providers," it said.
In an opinion written by Justice Pat DeWine, the court agreed, determining that taxing NASCAR's broadcasts "did not lie within the tax commissioner's authority." That was because its broadcast, media and sponsorship agreements are based on fixed fees that "do not vary with the amount of use."
On the question of licensing agreements, Justices Melody Stewart, Jennifer Brunner and Michael Donnelly disagreed that they should not be subject to the tax.
They sided with the tax commissioner's decision to calculate licensing fees separately from sales of NASCAR's licensed products — flags, mugs, grill covers, keychains, hood ornaments, fuzzy dice — by its contract holder, BSI Products. NASCAR had argued that amounted to a double tax.
Stewart wrote: "If a homeowner hires a plumber to fix his sink and pays the plumber with earnings that Ohio has already taxed, Ohio is fully justified in also taxing what the homeowner paid the plumber as part of the plumber's earnings."

José Tadeu Carneiro Cardoso (born October, 28th, 1955 in Jacobina, Bahia), also known as Mestre Camisa, is a Capoeira master, most known for creating the organization ABADÁ-Capoeira. ABADÁ-Capoeira was founded in 1988, and ever since, Camisa has been at the head of many important philanthropy and martial arts movements all over the world.

History
Camisa's brother Edvaldo Carneiro da Silva, also known as Grão-Mestre Camisa Roxa, was the inspiration behind Camisa beginning his training in the Brazilian martial art of Capoeira, by urging him to enroll in an academy under the tutelage of Mestre Bimba. After about a year, Camisa became an Aluno Formado, a graduated student of Mestre Bimba.

In the early 1970s, Camisa accompanied his brother on a year-long tour of Brazil with the folkloric dance company Olodum Maré, which performed traditional arts including capoeira. At the end of the tour, instead of returning to his studies in Salvador, Camisa decided to remain in Rio de Janeiro to teach Capoeira.  As stated by Matthias Röhrig Assunção in Capoeira : A History of an Afro-Brazilian Martial Art:
 A number of Bahian capoeiristas ended up moving to Rio in the 1970s, attracted by the greater possibilities the city seemed to offer for the development of the art.  Among them were Peito Pelado, Baianinho da Massaranduba and Dentinho, who all influenced the way younger Cariocians played capoeira.  Camisa Roxa's younger brother José Tadeu Cardoso (M. Camisa, then still called Camisinha) arrived in 1972 and soon became a leading figure in the Senzala group.Senzala in this context refers to a group of young capoeira practitioners from Rio in the mid to late 1960s and early 1970s.  From
Assunção (2005, p.173-4)

He began to offer training in capoeira and slowly gained students. Camisa began to consider the need to design a formal structure for classes, to draw up a basic lesson plan, to create a place for studying and teaching, a place to debate techniques and discuss concepts. In addition, he felt the need to give a family-like structure to so many people who had left behind their cities and their friends and families and moved to Rio to dedicate themselves to capoeira. The latter was the main impetus for the creation of a new organization that would, in 1988, become ABADÁ-Capoeira.

Since the beginning of the 1980s, Mestre Camisa had been drawing on his experience in Mestre Bimba's Academy to develop his own style and build his school. His unique technique and methodology improved the martial aspect of capoeira, and established him as the leading capoeira master in the world.

CEMB
The Centro Educacional Mestre Bimba (CEMB), in English translated as "Mestre Bimba Educational Center", is:

a space idealized by Mestre Camisa and built in honor of Mestre Bimba who loved nature. The CEMB offers courses, training sessions, meetings, lectures, workshops, ecological hikes, climbing, horseback riding, soccer, local cultural demonstrations, experience with rural customs, opportunity for contact with animals, a taste of food cooked on a traditional wood-burning oven and lessons in environmental preservation. All these activities are adapted so Capoeira movements can be added to them. Following the philosophy that we should use what nature offers, a large training area was constructed, using sapê (a local thatch), eucalyptus and stones, where the activities take place. The CEMB is located in the interior of the State of Rio de Janeiro, in the city of Itaboraí, and offers sleeping quarters for 60 people and a camping area that can handle 100 tents.

The above text was taken as it appears from the website ABADÁ-Capoeira Hungary. CEMB was created and built entirely by Camisa. As stated above, it is a place for capoeiristas to congregate, train, and help spread the awakening ecological projects spurred on by the Center.

I am running directrt 2010.2.103.115 on a machine running windows 7. Based on my screen refresh rate (75 hz), I assumed I could display stimuli at intervals of 13ms. However, my log files show only 30ms intervals. Not sure what's going on or how to start communication with IT about the issue. I was hoping you could offer some initial help in pointing to any potential problems.
1. I have nine identical computers and each of these nine replicates the problem.
2. I have attached a copy of the csv file I ran on all nine computers, a representative dxdiag file, and a representative log file.
I realize my computers are to blame here rather than your software, but I was wondering if you could help give me direction so I can work with IT to get this treated quickly. Thanks!

This couple adopted triplets. But at the hospital they get the real shock. Unbelievable!
Everything that Sarah and Andy Justice from Tulsa, Oklahoma wanted for their perfect family was a baby. But, no one planned what came next.
Sarah and Andy have known each other since their time together at college. The two first became the inseparable couple they are today there. After graduating, they marry and want to start a family. But this wish remains unfulfilled.
No one can say exactly what is the cause. The both only know that they don't have the $60,000 for the artificial insemination. So they decide to adopt. Everything seems perfect: they find a woman who is already heavily pregnant but has already given her child away for adoption. Shortly before the birth comes a big surprise:
The woman is expecting not just one baby, but THREE. The mistake was a mystery to everyone. The mother was most likely not entirely honest and did not want to endanger the adoption. But Sarah and Andy don't hesitate for a moment and stand by their word: they didn't want anything else in this world more than these children. And that is how they became the proud parents of Joel, Hannah, and Elizabeth.
Born just 8 months old, the trio still needed medical attention. But everything else goes exactly as planned. Actually, the next shock came right there in the hospital!
Sarah is pregnant! What is normally the most beautiful news for a woman is almost a cruel stroke of fate. No one can explain it, but it was clear: the family was going to get bigger!
Because of her medical history, Sarah's pregnancy is classified as dangerous. And the next bombshell comes at her first checkup: Sarah isn't pregnant with just one child, but twins! She can still remember the confused feelings the news triggered in her. With her voice trembling she calls Andy who asks, "Well, is it a boy or a girl?" She gives some um's and err's, "Well, ONE will be a boy..." and then comes the long silence! Then Andy gets the hint and gasps. "Don't worry dear. We'll manage!" What a moment!
And so was Andrew ...
... and Abigail born six months later, making their family perfect. From the bleak prospect to never have children to becoming the parents of 5 in world record time!
Naturally, the first few weeks and months were a hard period for the two. The little gang uses 300 diapers in one week alone. And forget about a normal sleep schedule!
But one thing is certain: they are simply thankful and happy that everything happened this way. Sarah says, "If I could turn back time, we would do the exact same thing. Everything is perfect like it is. Our 5 kids are the biggest treasure on Earth!" Then the two look at each other and smile ...
Sometimes fate is simply too kind to some people. But for Sarah and Andy, they gave them the most beautiful gift possible.
Share this story of this family blessed by fate. It shows that it always pays off to look forward hopefully.

CCTSI's Boot Camp Translation cuts medical jargon, improves community health
Published	 Friday 8 April 2016	 Published	Fri 8 Apr 2016
Medical guidelines use language and concepts that are not always understood by patients, making it difficult for them to choose the best treatment.
A new study by University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus researchers confirms the success of a new patient-engagement method called Boot Camp Translation, which turns complex medical screening guidelines into locally relevant health messages. Multiple studies show that use of the process has improved cancer testing, asthma management and hypertension control.
The article appears in the April issue of the journal Health Affairs, the nation's leading journal of health policy thought and research and was authored by Jack Westfall, MD, director of the High Plains Research Network at the CU School of Medicine and colleagues from the Colorado Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute.
"Our work shows that all research stages may benefit from patient engagement and the translation of complex medical jargon into locally relevant language," said Jack Westfall, MD. "What if patients were involved in the creation of evidence-based guidelines from the beginning? The final recommendations would be more patient-centered and ultimately more effective."
The High Plains Research Network's Community Advisory Council, made up of farmers, teachers and other community members in eastern Colorado, identified a lack of community knowledge about colon cancer and developed the Boot Camp Translation process in 2005. The Colorado Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute tested the Boot Camp Translation process in communities throughout the United States from 2012 to 2015, using the process more than twenty-five times to address colon cancer prevention, hypertension, asthma, diabetes, depression and other community health concerns.
The paper, "Reinventing the Wheel of Medical Evidence: How the Boot Camp Translation Process is Making Gains" provides a brief history of the process and describes its use to translate and disseminate evidence-based medical guidelines. The process has successfully engaged in long-term research projects with patients in rural, urban, African American and Latino communities in Colorado, Iowa, Oregon, North Carolina and Wisconsin.
Boot Camp Translation is a robust eight-month program in which patients and community members become citizen experts on a clinical topic that they have previously designated as a priority. In conference calls and in-person meetings, the community and participating research group learn together about the topic, craft messages with information they want family and neighbors to know and design dissemination methods to get health messages and materials into the community. The final messages are evidence-based and meaningful at the local level.
With evidence of Bootcamp Translation's success, policymakers can support deeper patient engagement throughout the entire medical research enterprise. The result is that investment in medical discovery will better benefit the communities, practices and patients who pay for it.

Azerbaijani community of Nagorno-Karabakh sends letter to MEPs
Members of the Azerbaijani community of Azerbaijan's Nagorno-Karabakh region have sent a letter to 751 MEPs (members of the European Parliament), Trend reports referring to the сommunity.
The letter expresses confidence that the MEPs will demonstrate a fair position and make categorical decisions in the direction of restoring and protecting the rights of Azerbaijani refugees and IDPs, their return to their homes.
"You, members of the European Parliament, have embarked on this high mission while protecting the rights of refugees and IDPs," reads the letter. "Unfortunately, we are witnessing how many achievements in the field of human rights by violent actions come to naught. We intend to witness your unwavering will in the direction of protecting the rights of Azerbaijani IDPs, who in this difficult time suffer from Armenia's aggression. We are people who underwent ethnic cleansing and were expelled from our native land - Nagorno-Karabakh and the adjacent seven districts."
The document also notes that human rights are universal, and their application in relation to the Azerbaijani community of Nagorno-Karabakh in a selective manner is unacceptable.
"We have the right to return to our homeland, to own property that we were deprived of, to decently live on the land of our great-grandfathers, without fear of death and ethnic cleansing," reads the letter. "We openly declare that we intend to live in peace with the Armenian community of Nagorno-Karabakh within Azerbaijan's internationally recognized borders. From this point of view, we are confident that a direct dialogue between the Azerbaijani and Armenian communities of Nagorno-Karabakh will create opportunities for future peace and prosperity. It will also contribute to fair settlement of the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict on the basis of international law and international principles."

Q: Icon fonts are not working in Opera Mobile I started using the FontAwesome collection and test it on different OS / browsers.
I found out that it works with IE > 7, Firefox, Chrome, Safari (iPhone, iPad), Opera Desktop, that's really nice!
Only Opera Mini do not support @font-face, but Opera Mobile (v 12.19) does.
BUT it only works with normal fonts with alphabetical  letters.
Iconic fonts like FontAwesome or icnfnt don't work!
I think the reason is, because the icons don't use normal alphabetical characters. The icon characters are described in hexadecimal format, (ISO CSS content: i:before {content: "\f000"}). I try to describe the icons in the numeric format in the HTML code (convert from hex into decimal: <i></i>) but this also doesn't work.
So is there a solution to display iconic fonts on Opera Mobile?
related link: HTML Glyphs

A: I had the same issues with Opera Mobile/Opera Mini. What worked for me was switching from Font Awesome to Elusive Icons. They are also "built for Bootstrap" and have basically the same icons available, i didn't even have to change any of the icon class names when i switched, only the font files and less/css files.

A:
I found out that it works with IE > 7...

Font-Awesome comes with an IE7 stylesheet which doesn't use @font-face. Have you tried including this to see if it also fixes the Opera Mobile issue?
