Spent the weekend at Fort Sill, Oklahoma with Gary and Aimee.
We left Lawton about noon, got on Hwy 7 east towards Arkansas. We stopped in Duncan at the Chisholm Trail Museum. The museum had an interactive video presentation about cattle run up the Chisholm Trail from Texas towards Kansas. When the cattle or a cowboy on a horse ran across the stage, the seats shook; when it rained, we were showered; when the cook was frying bacon, we could smell it; and, when it got windy, we could feel it!
The art museum had a large number of paintings and bronze sculptures in it. Noteworthy were the sculptures of Geronimo and the horses.
Chisholm apparently was an Indian trader who spoke about 14 Indian languages, and developed a wagon path from Texas to Kansas to ship his goods. After the civil war, stray cattle had reproduced in Texas to the millions. Beef was scarce east of the Mississippi because of the heavy use by the military during the war, and some enterprising cowboy found and started using the Chisholm trail for running cattle to the railhead in Kansas for shipment to the East. Before long, tens of thousands and eventually millions of cattle were sent up this way. Free at the source, the cattle were sold for about $50 each at the railhead, and one run of a few thousand cattle could make anyone rich enough to retire.
Further east near Davis at the Arbuckle Mountains, we stopped for the night at Turner Falls Park. This is an older (75+ years) recreation area, similar to Medicine Park near Lawton, used by generations past. And still attractive today.
Doesn't that swimming hole look inviting?
Just outside the Turner Falls area, up hwy 77 at Exit 51 on I35, is the Fried Pie bakery. We had a few pies, best we ever ate, for breakfast.
Drove east on 77, then 7 then 1 towards Talimena Parkway. This parkway is a high ridge road, similar to the Blue Ridge Parkway, and part of the highest mountain chain between the Appalachians and the Rockies!
Just off the parkway, about half-way to Mena, Arkansas, we stopped for the night at Cedar Lake campground, a Forest Service unit. The volunteer campground host tells us that it will be cold tonight, about 26-28 degrees! We gathered some firewood, started a campfire and Patty had her first roasted marshmallows this trip.
Well, it was 34 degrees. Sunny morning with fog lifting form the lake: very beautiful.
We didn't waste time getting on the road, and soon found ourselves taking in all of the lookouts with great views of the valleys below and the mountains in the distance. We were surprised to find out at Wilhelmina State Park that we were at 2640 feet elevation (just 60 feet or so less than the tallest mountain in Arkansas).
At the end of the parkway, we found ourselves in Mena, Arkansas, a pretty town with several unique places to visit; unfortunately they were closed. One of these, on Main Street, is a replica of an old Esso station with many old cars in the shop. Behind the station is a genuine Studebaker dealer, or at least, one that existed at one time. Both the Avanti and an older pickup truck were in the show window ready to sell.
That store had more stickers than we have on the back of our camper! Gas was $0.19 for Extra at the pump!
South on 71, we turned left onto 246 towards the Cassatot River. We found a rock beach where we spent at least an hour and a half collecting rocks! Turning back to 71 then south to 278, we turned east to the Cassatot State Park Visitor Center. Quite impressive center, but we found out that the campgrounds were up a dirt road at least five miles north from there. No problem: we put the truck in four-wheel drive and made a dust storm until we reached one of the campgrounds.


A discussion of the major sources students use in developing and writing research papers. Includes primary, secondary, tertiary; traditional and online.
Primary sources are published original writings, reflections, and reports that can be found in books, periodicals, monographs conference proceedings, patents, and theses and dissertations.
Secondary sources are published writings and reports that analyze, critique, or report on a primary source and can be found in periodicals and reference books.
Tertiary sources aid the researcher in using primary and secondary sources and include indexes, dictionaries, guides, and bibliographies.
Nondocumentary sources are unpublished forms of communication and information, which can include conversations with faculty members, other students, and experts in the field.
Discuss sources with your professor before you begin your research since many instructors may require both primary and secondary sources for your paper.
On your college campus is a wonderful building that you may not be very familiar with. It's called the library. Library usage has dropped off dramatically among college students since the Internet became popular. But the library and its personnel remain superlative resources for research. Its true that you can access many of those resources without setting foot in the library, but we recommend that you do explore what your campus library has to offer. Once you know what's available to you, you can make smart judgments about how much you can gain from a physical presence in the library and how many of the library's resources you can access from remote locations, such as your dorm room.
Your No. 1 research ally in the library is the research librarian. Make friends with him or her right away. Research librarians are there to help, and they love to find the answers. They won't do your research for you, but they will steer you in the right direction. A typical question for a research librarian might start out: "Where can I find information about...?" The research librarian can also help with an overall research and keyword strategy.
Now let's look at the major categories of research tools that you can find in the library (many of which can be accessed from other locations through your campus computer network). Most of these are tertiary sources that will help you identify, find, and use the primary and secondary sources you need for your paper's topic.
Encyclopedias. These volumes are designed to give you an overview of a topic (and are therefore very useful for topic selection and narrowing), including the definition, description, background, and bibliographic references.
Dictionaries. These books, of course, contain information about words: meanings, derivation, spelling, pronunciation, syllabication, and usage. Some also contain biographical information, historical information, and pictures or other illustrations. Dictionaries may be useful in the early stages of your research because they yield synonyms that you can use in keyword searches. You can also use them to look up unfamiliar words you come across in your research.
Yearbooks, handbooks, and almanacs. Yearbooks are publications issued annually to provide current information in narrative, statistical, or directory form. Handbooks are typically small books that treat broad subjects in brief form and serve as a record of current knowledge. Almanacs are annual calendars containing important dates and statistical information.
Biographical materials. Biographical dictionaries contain brief information about the lives of individuals, often describing events that occurred during the time the person lived. Biographies are books that provide the most in-depth information on the lives of persons living or dead.
Atlases. An atlas is a collection of maps; however, many atlases also contain descriptive data, demographic information, political history, and economic conditions.
Indexes and periodical index databases. These tools provide bibliographic information on articles, essays, speeches, poems, and other written works in periodicals or as collected works.
Periodical index databases search magazines, newspapers, and academic journal articles. These indexes and databases cover a wide variety of disciplines. Publishers license these databases to college libraries, and most campuses have licenses for large numbers of databases through which you can access many full-text articles. In some cases you can access only abstracts of articles (short summaries of the essence of the article), but your library may have the print version of the full article or can order it for you from another library through its interlibrary-loan service. While the databases can usually be searched online from remote locations, you generally must go through your campus library's web site and enter a username and password to do so. Learn to use these databases because scholarly journals are the gold standard of academic research. Libraries usually offer online tutorials on how to use the databases, and library staff can also help you use them.
Library books and the library catalog. Of course, the library also has thousands of books outside the realm of reference books, and some of them may be valuable in your research. In the library, you can do a computerized search of your library's catalog of holdings, and you can generally conduct such a search on your own computer through your library's web site, as well.
Be sure that your research covers a rich variety of current sources -- books, periodicals, and online sources, as appropriate. A good rule of thumb is that, generally, sources should not be more than 10 years old unless it would be appropriate to cite older landmark works in your field.
Consider interviewing experts as part of your research. This often overlooked technique will distinguish your paper and impress your professor. You can find experts on your college campus and in the town in which your college is located or your hometown. You may also be surprised to discover that many well-known authors, scholars, and authorities are willing to be quoted in your paper. Send them a polite e-mail asking for responses to a couple of questions for a student paper.
Most college students are well acquainted with searching for information on the Internet through such major search engines as Google, Yahoo, and Bing. It is certainly possible to search the Internet and find plenty of research material for writing a college paper. The quality and trustworthiness of finding the bulk of your research material for a paper that way, however, is highly suspect. Just about anyone can write information and post it on the Internet. What you find, though, often isn't accurate or appropriate for a college paper. That's why the online and offline resources of your library should be the first places you explore when conducting research.
Credibility: Is the source trustworthy? What are the author's credentials? Is he or she a known or respected authority? Is there any evidence of quality control on the site?
Accuracy: Is the source up to date? When was it published online? Is it detailed, exact, comprehensive? Who is the site's audience and what is its purpose? Does its purpose reflect intentions to be accurate and complete?
Reasonableness: Does the source seem fair, balanced, objective, and reasoned? Are any conflicts of interest evident? Can you detect any fallacies? Does the tone seem slanted?
Support: Does the site list its sources? Is there contact information so you can ask questions about the source? Is there a way to corroborate and/or document claims made on the site?
You can use the Internet for ideas for initial topic development and to fill in gaps in your research once you've used library sources. Just be sure to carefully scrutinize anything you find on the Internet to ensure it's appropriate to cite it in your paper.
Google Scholar. This specialized version of the widely used Google search engine searches academic journal articles. You will likely find, however, that the vast majority of articles that appear in the search results are not accessible to you unless you pay for them. There's a good possibility you can get the same results by searching your library's databases, through which you probably can access the articles at no cost. Starting with your library's databases will likely save time. Using Google Scholar can be advantageous for uncovering articles that you can't find through a library database search. You can then ask your reference librarian how to obtain the article, such as through interlibrary loan. Occasionally you'll also find an article through Google Scholar that you can access directly, such as through the author's web site.
Bartleby.com is a huge, easy-to-use collection of reference works -- encyclopedias, dictionaries, indexes, fiction and nonfiction books, quotations, and more.
Newspaper and magazine portals: You can access many newspaper and magazine articles at portal sites, such as MagPortal.com, FindArticles.com, OnlineNewspapers.com, Newslink for Newsletters, and web sites for individual magazines and newspapers. Note that some publishers require a fee for articles.
News sites: You may sometimes find it useful to locate current, topical information for your research at such sites as CNN.com and MSN.com.
Library sites: The Internet Public Library, which began in 1995 as a class project, is a huge repository of information, as is the Library of Congress site. Both offer "Ask a Librarian" features. Note that some libraries other than your campus library allow access to their resources and can be perused at sites like Libweb.
It's easy to get overwhelmed with all the sources out there for research. It's also easy to under-research an assignment through lack of awareness of available sources. Both problems are easier to manage when you know the major categories of research sources and how to find and evaluate them.


Sheffield were forced into two changes from the match against Bury, with Luke Morton & Rich Hudson unavailable, meaning Niall Morton made his return from injury & Laura Watson came in, having just had her loan to Sheffield approved. Northumbria, meanwhile, made just the one change from their match against Edinburgh, with Keith Oldham replacing Dan Thompson in the side.
Northumbria achieved a 7-3 in heat two after a first heat 5-5 to go four up, but Sheffield reduced that lead to two with a 6-4 in heat four. Three drawn heats followed, with a 6-4 in heat eight for Northumbria extending the arrears to four, but a 7-3 to Sheffield in heat nine meant that the scores were level at half time.
A 7-3 in heat eleven put Northumbria back in front, but an exclusion to Michael Parr in heat thirteen after falling allowed Sheffield to gain a 7-2 and placed the home side in front for the first time by a single point. However, Ed Morton's tape exclusion in the next heat meant the away side hit straight back with a 7-2 of their own and went four up.
An exchange of 7-3s in heats sixteen and seventeen left the Stars needing a 7-3 to draw the match in the final race, and although Adam Watson prevented a Gavin Parr maximum by winning the heat, Niall Morton fell when diving the Vikings' captain to make the final scores Sheffield 87, Northumbria 91.
For the Vikings, Jason Keith went unbeaten and Gavin Parr dropped just one point, whilst Michael Parr and Dan Redshaw were the difference between the two sides. For Sheffield, Kyle Holland, Adam Watson and Joe Twigg all scored highly once again, whilst Niall Morton's return was welcomed.
The track, just like Edinburgh's the previous weekend, looked bone dry with a loose top and once again slippery. Not so, once again! I've never seen a track suyrface as well groomed as this one with not a ripple or a dent anywhere, and it afforded the most fantastic level of grip everywhere. All the more strange then to see home star Adam Watson slide coming out of turn four, unless there was another motive for doing so. Vicky and Laura rode like I've never seen them against us and scored very well. The Stars' young and very rapid top end looked as though it would carry them through but Neil Magee's intelligent reserve switches, Gavin's return to form and an iimpeccable display from Jason saw us cling on to the points, just.
From an entertainment point of view, the Division Two and Division Three matches again proved best with some excellent racing from both clubs and another couple of very young racers starting out for the home team, while Bradley and Sam continued to catch the eye as they had done the week before. It was fairly warm, in fact unexpectedly so for the first match but later cloud cover had the temperature plummeting and we were all well wrapped up on the spectator seats. Once again though, a great meeting between the two sides, only marginally clouded by some on-track line deviations and in fact if analyzed these few moves may well have cost Sheffield the Div 1 points as Elite League-style holding back surely compromised the chance of taking two or three more heat wins. Eleven out of ten for hospitality from the Sheffield club.

On July 23rd, 2018, Delaware Governor John Carney signed Senate Bill Number 183 into law, amending the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (Delaware Code, Title 6, Chapter 18, §18-101 to §18-1109).
Certain provisions of the amendatory legislation are effective on August 1st, 2018 and other provisions are effective on August 1st, 2019.
Let's look at some of these significant changes.
Effective August 1st, 2018, amendments in Senate Bill 183 introduce Subchapter XII to Chapter 18, Title 6 of the Delaware Code that defines and provides for the establishment of statutory public benefit limited liability companies.
A "statutory public benefit limited liability company" is a for-profit LLC that is intended to produce public benefit, and operate in a responsible and sustainable manner. In addition to stating this status in the heading of its Certificate of Formation, a statutory public benefit LLC must further delineate one or more specific public benefits it promotes in the certificate.
The new subchapter also includes rules for amendments, mergers, votes required and duties of members or managers of a statutory public benefit LLC. Section 18-102(4) has been updated to allow LLC names to contain the words "public benefit".
Section 18-217, effective August 1st, 2018, now authorizes a Delaware LLC, pursuant to a plan of division, to divide into two or more Delaware LLCs. A Certificate of Division, along with Certificates of Formation for each resulting company, is required to be filed simultaneously with the office of the Secretary of State.
Subsection (g)(3) of 18-217 mandates the appointment of a division contact, required to maintain a copy of the plan or division for six years from the effective date of the division and respond with division company contact information to written inquiries from creditors of the dividing company.
Section 18-1105(a) is amended to set a Certificate of Division filing fee of $180, payable to the Secretary of State. There is also a filing fee of $70 for each Certificate of Formation.
Starting August 1st, 2018, §18-104(g) concerning registered agents, as well as §18-302(d) and §18-404(d) regarding voting and classes, will recognize the use and/or participation in electronic networks or databases (including those that are distributed) within the term of "electronic transmission" for communications, provided records can be directly reproduced in paper form by a recipient through an automated process.
Section 18-305(d) outlining LLC recordkeeping is amended to include any form of information storage device or electronic networks and/or databases (including those that are distributed) as a viable means of record maintenance, provided information can be converted into written form within a reasonable timeframe.
Section 18-211(b) is amended to clarify that, as of August 1st, 2018, the filing fee for a corrected certificate shall be equal to the $180 fee for a Certificate of Correction prescribed by §18-1105.
Effective August 1st, 2019, §18-215 is amended to clarify provisions related to protected series and a new section, 18-218, is added to authorize the establishment of registered series. Numerous other sections are amended to included references to registered or protected series, as appropriate.
We will further explore amendments from this bill that go into effect on August 1st, 2019 as the date approaches.
For additional details, please review the full text of Senate Bill Number 183.

Explosion on Lake Pontchartrain platform leaves six injured, one missing
One worker is missing and six are injured after an oil production platform operated by a New Orleans company exploded and caught fire in Louisiana's Lake Pontchartrain.
KENNER, Louisiana –One worker is missing and six are injured after an oil production platform operated by a New Orleans company exploded and caught fire in Louisiana's Lake Pontchartrain late on Sunday, authorities said. The platform is operated by Clovelly Oil.
The US Coast Guard and local authorities have been using boats and a helicopter to search the lake for the missing worker, according to Reuters.
According to the Coast Guard, there were eight people on the oil platform at the time; one was uninjured. What caused the explosion and fire has not yet been determined.
The injured were taken to two local hospitals; some of the workers suffered severe burns from the fire, according to the Reuters report. Other details were not immediately available.
Clovelly is reportedly the only oil company operating in Lake Pontchartrain. It has two or three active oil and gas wells at the site, according to local reports.

EDITORIAL: This needs to stop, Americans detained by own government over the weekend
This past weekend, there were reports of Iranian Americans experiencing increased screening when returning to the United States from Canada by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) — as many as 200 across the country. According to news sources, Iranian Americans were held at Peace Arch Border Crossing in Blaine near the border for as long as 12 hours, while other American citizens who were not of Iranian descent were allowed smooth travel.
It has resulted in many Iranian Americans cancelling vacation plans and international trips due to fear of detainment — or worse.
The actions of CBP appear in response to a U.S. airstrike last Friday that killed Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the leader of the foreign wing of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a move that Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zari described as an act of "international terrorism" on the part of the United States. Analysts have speculated that Tehran would likely consider Soleimani's death an act of war.
While the increased scrutiny on Iranian Americans and the killing of Qassem Soleimani appear to relate to one another, CBP's official stance is that they do not. CBP has stated that while there is enhanced security at ports of entry into the United States, there is no "directive" from headquarters to detain Iranian Americans.
Yet, even journalist and historian John Ghazvinian, a U.S. citizen and interim director of the Middle East Center at the University of Pennsylvania, who was born in Iran, said on Twitter that he was pulled aside for additional screening after landing at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York over the weekend.
Negah Hekmati, who was coming back to Washington after skiing and visiting with family in Canada, was held for five hours by immigration authorities, along with her family and friends. She said that they took her family's car keys and passwords. She said that officers questioned them all extensively on their social media accounts and her husband's military history. She said her kids were terrified.
But CBP still wants to maintain that there is no directive from high up to detain Iranian Americans.
On page 5 of this week's paper, there's a story about how the skeletal remains of Giichi Matsumura, who was imprisoned at Manzanar, one of 10 American concentration camps where more than 120,000 Japanese Americans were incarcerated during World War II because the government feared these individuals would remain loyal to their ancestral homeland.
What is happening to Iranian Americans is this foreboding echo of the past.
What we often like to tell children in school is that we learn history so that we aren't doomed to repeat it. What we sometimes neglect to push as hard on is that we also must hold those who look to perpetrate tragedies of the past accountable and call things what they are. Iranian Americans are being detained, not merely "screened."
What is happening to them is unfair and excessive and also pointlessly discriminatory — and also probably completely illegal. It is unbelievable that we have to tell an agency to stop doing something that is illegal — but we must. We must call on CBP to stop targeting citizens immediately, based on heritage alone. We must examine what policies, procedures, and rhetoric are in place that allows this to continue happening. We have to speak up for others.

Laura Guadalupe Zapata Miranda (Mexikóváros, Mexikó, 1956. július 31.) népszerű mexikói telenovella-színésznő. Guillermo Zapata ökölvívó és Yolanda Miranda Mange gyermeke, a szintén ismert énekesnő, Thalía féltestvére. Érdekesség, hogy Thalía egyik unokatestvérével (Ernesto Sodi Pallares egyik unokaöccsével) kötött házasságot, ezért Mexikóban Laura Zapata (de) Sodinak is hívják. A nemzetközi köztudatba telenovella-szerepeivel került be, amelyekben főként a gonoszt alakította.

Élete

Laura Zapata 1956. július 31-én született Mexikóvárosban Guillermo Zapata és Yolanda Miranda Mange gyermekeként. Négy testvére van: Federica, Ernestina, Gabriela és Thalía Sodi. 1985-ben feleségül ment féltestvéreinek egyik unokatestvéréhez, Juan Eduardo Sodihoz. Két fiuk született: Claudio és Patricio. 1992-ben elvált férjétől.

2002 szeptemberében féltestvérével, Ernestina Sodival együtt egy szervezett bűnbanda elrabolta, amikor egy színházi előadásról tartottak autóval hazafelé. Az emberrablók a források szerint ötmillió dollár váltságdíjat követeltek. A színésznő a Sodi család tiltakozása ellenére 2004-ben színpadra vitte az emberrablás történetét, aminek következtében kapcsolata Thalíával és a többi féltestvérével megromlott.

A 2000-es évek elejétől aktívan politizál, 2013-ban képviselőjelölként indult a mexikói képviselőházi választáson a Nemzeti Akció Párt jelöltjeként.

The Moundville Archaeological Museum  is an archaeological park and museum in Moundville, Alabama
The museum houses artifacts and displays exhibits on over 60 years of archaeological excavations and investigations in the Moundville Archaeological Park.

The Jones Archaeological Museum located in the park was opened on May 16, 1939, and was initially known as the "Mound State Monument."

The museum was originally designed with two wings dedicated to burials which was closed in 1989 and a central section with exhibits displaying artifacts recovered from the site. The previous burial wings were replaced with a theater and several exhibition halls.

The park and museum are part of the University of Alabama Museums, which also include the University of Alabama Arboretum, Alabama Museum of Natural History, Discovering Alabama, Gorgas House, Office of Archaeological Research and Paul W. Bryant Museum.

China cracks down on anti-smog sentiment after air pollution doc goes viral
Government censors wiped the explosive film from the Internet and arrested two protestors
By Lindsay Abrams
March 9, 2015 6:58PM (UTC)
(Screenshot, Under the Dome)
A film this explosive was never going to be overlooked by China's government for long.
"Under the Dome," the documentary on China's massive smog crisis that took the nation by storm last week, has reportedly been taken offline by the government. And Monday, according to a human rights group, two people were detained -- one on charges of slander -- for protesting the government's approach to air pollution.
NPR reports that the protestors were outside a shopping mall holding up signs that said things like "Smog causes cancer. Everyone suffers," and "Cleaning up smog is the government's responsibility." They were released after being held overnight.
The film indeed criticized the Chinese government in its attempt to raise awareness about the need to bring air pollution under control, although its director, journalist Chai Jing, wasn't exactly operating as a whistleblower. According to the Guardian, she had input from officials at the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and she sent the footage of them explaining how powerless they are to enforce anti-pollution laws to other government officials before releasing the film. The environmental protection minister, Chen Jining, said publicly that he was "particularly pleased" with the film, which plays "an important role in promoting public awareness of environmental health issues."
But nobody could have anticipated just how popular the film would be -- it racked up 175 million views in its first two days online -- which the Guardian speculates could be the reason for the censorship. The Communist Party's central propaganda department told media organizations not to report on it, and an interview with Jing in the People's Daily was pulled offline. (The film is still available on YouTube, which is blocked in China: you can watch a translated version here.)
The state's actions, as a consolation, only came after millions of Chinese citizens saw for themselves the dangerous reality of air pollution -- it remains to be seen if that public awareness, once cultivated, can once again be suppressed.

Wheelchairs needed at Brampton, Etobicoke hospitals
Brampton | Mississauga | Latest News |
Published November 21, 2022 at 3:06 pm
A need for dozens of new wheelchairs at hospitals in Brampton and Etobicoke has the William Osler Health System asking the public for donations.
Osler is looking to raise funds for 40 new wheelchairs across its hospitals and health centres, including Brampton Civic and Peel Memorial.
The drive is part of Osler's GivingTuesday campaign – a charity fundraising day following the consumer-driven spending of Black Friday deals and sales.
The health system is setting out to raise $20,000 to fund the purchase of 40 new wheelchairs for Osler facilities, like Brampton Civic and Peel Memorial and Etobicoke General.
Osler says wheelchairs are one of the most used pieces of equipment in a hospital, meaning they need to be replaced or repaired on a regular basis.
The cost of each new wheelchair is approximately $500. And to entice the community to give generously, automotive dealers The Humberview Group is matching all donations to Osler up to $1 million until the end of the year.
4 suspects in Mississauga, Brampton crime spree sought by police
Temperatures will plummet to almost -30 in Mississauga, Brampton, Halton and Durham
Ren's Pets gives $20 voucers for licensing pets in Brampton
"Your gift — no matter how large or small — will go twice as far toward the purchase of these chairs, which we have all used and needed at some point and are used in literally every area of the hospital," said Ken Mayhew, president and CEO of the William Osler Health System Foundation. "Every donation will make a difference."
Osler says its facilities saw more than 229,000 emergency and urgent care centre visits last year, and more than 497,000 outpatient visits.
Donations to the foundation will help enhance services at local hospitals and better meet the evolving health care needs in Brampton.
Matched donations to the William Osler Foundation can be made by visiting www.oslerfoundation.org.

Lay out of sand manufacturing plant is similar to Stone crushing plant. It consist of Feeding hopper, sand crusher machine, Sand Screen, conveyors/ elevators, electrical prime movers and controls, etc. For manufacturing Sand at large scale it is manufactured directly from bigger size stones up to 500 mm size. This bigger stones should be crushed to minus 8 mm for feeding in sand crusher machine.
For reducing the stone to minus 12 mm particles, Big size stone crushers are employed. For making Sand from stone up to 500 mm feed size, A primary crusher is employed to break the stone in minus 75 mm pieces. These –75 mm pieces are further broken in Secondary crusher. Here the size is made below 40mm. This minus 40mm is further reduced to minus 12 mm size in VSI Crusher, and then finally it is crushed in artificial sand crusher machine and sand is manufactured.
The artificial sand making machine capacity ranges from 10tph-30tph, 30tph-50tph, 50tph-80tph, 80tph-120tph, 200tph-400tph, 400-600tph etc. With the benefits of competitive capital cost and high performance, low service and maintenance requirements, minimum operating and wear costs, it is very popular in construction, recycling, quarrying and mining applications.
It works by a unique rock-on-rock crushing action. As the material fed into the stone crushing plant grinds and impacts against itself, the typical wear cost per tonne of material processed is very low. If you want to know artificial sand crusher machine price, or any other information, please chat online with us for free.

PEAT Blog
PEAT Talks Recap: Strategies to Drive Awareness and Engagement at a Large Enterprise
At large companies, some of the most challenging aspects of managing an accessibility program relate to enterprise-wide awareness and adoption. Getting thousands of employees to understand accessible technology basics and integrate an accessibility mindset into their day-to-day work is no easy task. This type of systemic change can require an entire cultural shift. During a recent PEAT Talk, Capital One Senior Manager of Accessibility Mark Penicook shared some of their experiences in implementing a range of internal efforts to promote widespread awareness of accessibility standards and best practices.
Taking Accessibility to the Bank
Mark leads Capital One's Digital Accessibility Team. This team works with the company's designers, software engineers, managers, and product owners to ensure that all the company's web, mobile, and messaging applications are usable by everyone, including those with disabilities.
Five years ago, when Mark and his team set out to promote accessibility within Capital One, they faced a key challenge: most colleagues they spoke with simply weren't aware of accessibility in the first place. Even those familiar with the term often only understood it in the context of making physical spaces accessible. The Digital Accessibility Team knew they had their work cut out for them and ramped up their awareness-building efforts to educate their colleagues about digital accessibility.
Soon they encountered their next challenge: integrating accessibility into the early stages of the product design process. "The right way to accomplish accessibility without it feeling like an overwhelming additional burden," Mark explained, "is not to bolt this on to the end of the process or try to correct things at the last minute." Mark and his team promoted the benefits of earlier integration and better partnerships, but they still weren't always recognized by other teams within Capital One. They encountered pushback from those who viewed accessibility as a difficult, complex task. Meanwhile, other teams expressed feelings that they didn't have the expertise, time, or capacity to make accessibility fixes.
Creative Messaging Approaches
Mark and his team decided the next step was to educate everyone at Capital One that a dedicated team was available to assist them. They created a logo, stickers, and other branding materials to spread the word among their 40,000 associates across the globe. They also developed a video showcasing the accessibility experiences of three people with disabilities. The end product was highly successful, and this video is now a part almost every presentation that his team does, including their annual computer-based job training.
Mark also saw an opportunity to reach new Capital One employees during their onboarding orientations. Because new hires are given so much information during orientation, Mark's team focused on making their presentation concise, memorable, and interactive. For example, one Digital Accessibility Team member who plays guitar asked participants what accessibility means to them in one word, and then used those words to make up a song that he sang on the spot.
The Capital One Digital Accessibility Team works hard to foster and maintain partnerships throughout the company, not just because it's good for business, but also because of their belief that it's the right thing to do. And as Mark reflected, "if we do well at accessibility, we're almost guaranteed to have a better product, a better design, a better code base, a more usable interface or interaction for literally everyone."
Learn more about Capital One's digital accessibility awareness initiatives by checking out the archived PEAT Talk. And in the comments, please let us know how your business is working to promote the importance of digital accessibility company-wide.

Genie Francis joins 'Young and the Restless' -- EXCLUSIVE
David Livingston/Getty Images
General Hospital fans, you may want to consider changing loyalties: EW has learned exclusively that Genie Francis, aka Laura Vining Webber Baldwin Spencer Spencer from the ABC sudser, will join The Young and the Restless as a series regular at the end of May.
Francis will play the mother of Ethan Cane Ashby (Daniel Goddard), who was declared dead outside his dad's wedding last month and is now appearing as a ghost on the show. His sudden "passing" lathered up the fans, so the addition of Francis should reignite speculation that Cane will remain an integral part of Genoa City. (His ghost is expected to continue appearing throughout the spring).
Francis will begin taping at the end of the month.
The actress' decision to abandon the ABC world and join Y&R shouldn't come as a huge surprise to Hospital fans, who no doubt heard what Francis said while appearing on Oprah's "Legendary Soap Star Spectacular" last month. Oprah Winfrey asked Francis is she'd ever return to Hospital and she said, "If there is a way to go forward with Laura and make her into what I'd like her to be now, then perhaps I would do it.
"I would like her to be funny and have a little bit of an agenda that might look a little bit vengeful, but it really isn't. I think she'd have a plan," she continued. "There is nothing in me that is willing to play a victim anymore. I'm sort of done with the wounded dove in my life."
Francis worked for ABC's Hospital from 1977 to 2008.

'Stated Income' Home Mortgages Raise Red Flags
By Lingling Wei
Martha Aikens was on the verge of losing her home in early 2004. The culprit: a loan that she had been induced to take out a year and a half earlier but was never able to make a single payment on.
Ms. Aikens, a widow in her 70s, sought to refinance the mortgage on her home in Evanston, Ill., near Chicago, in May 2002. To qualify her for a higher-rate loan and get a commission, her mortgage broker grossly inflated her income and falsified her employment information to make the overstated income look plausible, according to a complaint later filed against the broker.
Her application then went through as a "stated income" loan -- one that discloses income but doesn't require verification.
The case points to a growing concern among consumer advocates and regulators over the home-lending industry's increasing reliance on reduced documentation, particularly unverified income, to speed up the loan-approval process amid ever-intensifying competition.
"It's just too easy to cheat," says Tom Miller, Iowa's attorney general. He says fraud related to stated-income loans often is initiated by lenders and brokers, leaving unsuspecting consumers in the dark.


agreed. This means that the client will receive a compliant bid, rather than exclusions and clarifications.
Once the contract is agreed there are two options. R&M Property Group close the book at which point the client knows that the scheme will be delivered at the agreed cost, with the exception of any variation works requested and risks they have decided to take responsibility for. (Any overspend will be paid for by the contractor). Or the contract can continue as Open Book and the client pays actual costs. (Any savings or overspend will go to the client).

Golden Discs Irish music and DVD store launches in the US
Golden Discs, Ireland's best-known record, music and DVD retailer with locations throughout the Republic, is establishing itself in the U.S. for the first time with a new online site.
Irish Voice Reporters
Golden Discs is launching in the US. Facebook
The family-run Irish business, Golden Discs, which first launched in the 1960s is the first major Irish music retailer to launch in the U.S.
Stephen Fitzgerald, chief executive officer of Golden Discs says of the U.S. launch, "We've been getting inquiries from the U.S. for years and have been promising to launch a separate site dedicated to traditional and contemporary Irish music away from the full range we offer on our domestic site. With the renewed interest and resurgence in vinyl we thought the time was right to launch this year.
"Ireland punches way above its weight in music talent and has produced some incredible artists over the past century, from trad giants such as Christy Moore, Planxty and The Chieftains to more contemporary bands like Thin Lizzy, Van Morrison and U2, to recent upstarts like Hozier, Imelda May and The Script."
Golden Discs was established in 1962 by Jack Fitzgerald and Tom Rogers under the name the Trans-Atlantic Record Agency (TARA) in Dublin. Today Golden Discs caters to a global customer base across more than 40 countries. It is Ireland's oldest music retail chain, with 22 outlets nationwide.

The site's focus is on Irish music, be it traditional folk, Celtic music and modern singer songwriters and bands. The site also sells books, t-shirts and merchandise. Golden Discs is now looking to reach the Irish American music fans with the launch of www.goldendiscs.com.
As well as all the Irish catalog product, the site will also carry new releases such as the forthcoming Christy Moore album, the new 20th anniversary edition of U2's album All That You Can't Leave Behind on vinyl and a boxed set, The Pogues' The BBC Sessions 1984-86, A Woman's Heart re-released later this month on CD and on colored vinyl, Thin Lizzy's Rock Legends box set and vinyl to name but a few.
The success story and legacy of Golden Discs is testament not only to the vision of Jack, Tom, Stephen and the entire staff pool over the years but also to the millions of Irish music lovers that walk through its doors and visit its website every year in support of this fully Irish-owned family-run company.

1/20/2015 – CGC Letter to New Members of Congress
The Charitable Giving Coalition sent a letter today to newly-elected members of Congress urging them to protect the full value and scope of the charitable deduction as budget and tax-related legislative items are considered. See the full text of the letter below.
Dear [Member]:
On behalf of the Charitable Giving Coalition, a diverse group representing private and community foundations, their grantees and independent charities, as well as nonprofit organizations and the associations and umbrella groups that serve their needs, we would like to congratulate you on your successful campaign and welcome you to Washington, D.C.
As Congress prepares to take up the budget, tax reform and other issues impacting tax policy, we strongly urge you to preserve the full scope and value of the charitable deduction. This unique, powerful incentive encourages contributions that allow our organizations to serve individuals, families and communities in your state and throughout the country. Proposals that would impose a cap or a floor on the deduction, or any other limitations, would impede the effectiveness of this vital incentive to give back to communities.
The charitable deduction is unique among itemized deductions in that it encourages individuals to give away a portion of their income to those in need. It promotes a selfless act, and it encourages taxpayers to donate more funds to charities than they would otherwise give.
A calculation of the deduction suggests that those in need receive $2.50 of benefit for every $1 of tax benefit going to the donor. In 2013, Americans gave over $335 billion to support charitable causes according to Giving USA, much of which is claimed as a charitable tax deduction.
Furthermore, nonprofit organizations that rely on charitable gifts to provide valuable services to communities have a powerful impact on the American economy. These organizations generate $1.1 trillion every year in the form of jobs and services. One in 10 U.S. workers is employed by the nonprofit sector, which provides 13.7 million jobs. Employees of nonprofit organizations received roughly nine percent of wages paid in the U.S., and the nonprofit sector paid $587.7 billion in wages and benefits.
Limiting the value of the charitable deduction would inhibit the ability of charities to serve Americans and communities across the country. As charities struggle to raise additional funds to meet increased demands for their services, we ought to encourage Americans to be more generous, not signal that giving is less important. We look forward to working with you and your staff on this issue.

Women tend to focus on the root, sacral or throat chakra's and "dabble" in some others, but often overlook the crown chakra.
Therapeutically, this isn't very shocking. Most women enter the therapy room feeling their emotional pain in their reproductive or sexual self or their heart self. Almost always, they feel that they have not been able to experience safe expression.
In my neuromarketing days, I learned that demographically, women were drawn to purple and also, to meditation; both of which are symbols of the crown chakra!
We women tend to have a hard time surrendering; we think we do, especially if in conflict or feeling neglected or abused in the past (or present) but that is abuse or for some women, they might confuse submissiveness with surrender.
The surrender I speak of is a surrender to a higher power. You might call that higher power God, or Universe, Source or Self.
Most women, interestingly, are also drawn to the scent of rose or lavender, and these are also scents that are connected with the crown chakra.
When we ignore the crown chakra because we are so concerned about our sacral, root, heart or throat chakras, we are missing a huge opportunity for release.
Our minds are closed when our literal crown charka is closed. We might be judgemental, or pessimistic, sarcastic and thus, frown quite a bit (angry wrinkles anyone?). We might have TMJ or, poor tooth and gum health. We might have ear or sight struggles, headaches or continual bouts of allergy symptoms such as "stuffy nose" or "itchy eyes". Our skin might be dry but breaking out.
When you recognize that your crown chakra might need support, you can work on forgiving yourself first, then those that you feel stopped you from your energetic, soulful and human flow.
There is always a divine plan, and while you might not know what that is, trusting and surrendering to your own higher power, and self-trust, will go a long way in helping you to free your mind, literally.

Sky TV suffers slowdown during hacking scandal
THE number of people joining up to Sky dropped dramatically during the phone hacking scandal, new figures showed yesterday.

Just 40,000 signed up for its satellite TV service in the past three months, the smallest number for five years.
Details emerged as BSkyB revealed a 15% fall in profits to £1.1billion for the past 12 months.
The company also unveiled a £750million sweetner for shareholders. They have seen the value of their investment slump from 850p to 715p as News Corp was forced to drop its bid to buy the business.
Nevertheless, BSkyB chief Jeremy Darroch insisted that the broadcaster had an excellent year, helped by dramas such as Martina Cole's The Runaway.
Sky added 426,000 subscribers, taking the total to 10.3 million and raked in money from existing customers forking out for additional services. A massive 883,000 agreed to pay an extra £10 a month for SkyHD, taking the total to 3.8 million.
Another 129,000 signed up for its multi-room feature, enabling families to watch different programmes at the same time, taking the total to 2.25 million.
The company, which gave chairman James Murdoch its backing at a board meeting on Thursday, said this boosted the average spend per customer by £31 to £539 a year.
Sky also started selling phone and internet services separate from its TV package, adding another 100,000-plus customers. It said more than 800,000 households now had Sky Anytime+ for watching films and series on demand.
The firm also launched Sky Go earlier this month which delivers live TV to laptops, mobiles or your iPad.
Darroch said he recognised households are under pressure, which is why Sky is freezing prices until "at least" September 2012, after the Olympics.

Q: Align element in the vertical middle of the parent using line-height property I have the following code:

div {
  border: 1px solid red;
  height: 100px;
  width: 300px;
}
span {
  display: inline-block;
  line-height: 100px;
}

  Hey Align me in the middle

If am keeping the line-height exatly same as the height of the parent div,span is aligning into the center.
Lets say some case where my parent div height is set to auto ,in that case if i want to display the span in the middle of the parent,how can i do that?
I want a solution with using line-height only,in other ways i can achieve.
I have tried the following with % but it seems not working.
line-height: 100%;

but its not same as 100% of the parent ,its 100% of the child span,How can i make equal to the parents height.?

A: No, you can't do it that way. Percentage line height is relative to the font size of the element itself, NOT the height of the container.
You'll have to use a fixed value i.e. px if you still want to use the trick, otherwise see this post fore more options - How do I vertically center text with CSS?
Note, it would be more reasonable if you do it this way, so that it also works when the text wraps.

div {
  border: 1px solid red;
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  line-height: 100px;
}
span {
  display: inline-block;
  line-height: normal;
  vertical-align: middle;
}

  Hey, align me in the middle.

If you you know the text is not going to wrap for sure, it can be as simple as this.

div {
  border: 1px solid red;
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  line-height: 100px;
}

Hey, middle.

A: If you want to avoid the use of the line-height, you can use the transform: translateY(-50%) or the display: table and display: table-cell:
.element {
   position: relative;
   top: 50%;
   transform: translateY(-50%);
}

.container {
   height: 300px;
   width: 200px;
   background-color: red;
}

.fake-table{ display: table; height: 300px; }
.fake-td{display:table-cell ;vertical-align: middle }

See the live example.

A: The answer is simple. Because line-height is strictly referring to inline elements, you'll want to treat the content box as inline text.
Here we have two divs, a wrapper and content:

 Some stuff

So, first thing's first, we'll need to set a height for the wrapper element, let us give it a height of 600px. In order for our vertical-align to work properly, we'll need to give it a line-height: 600px as well, note it's the same height as the div. (you can use javascript to do this part if there are dynamically added things).
We should give it some properties to make it more visible so we'll add a border to it. Oh, and we want the content to be centered as well, so we'll give it a text-alignment of center
.wrapper{
   height: 600px;
   border: solid 1px black;
   line-height: 600px;
   text-align: center;
}

Next, we will deal with the actual content itself. First thing is first, we need to tell the browser that it is a display: inline-block; And here is what you were asking for: vertical-align: middle. After we'll give it a height: 200px and give it some distinguishing qualities as well, so a border: solid 1px black; should do the trick. And last but not least, we'll need to reset a couple of things that it will inherit from the parent (text-align: center; line-height: normal).
/* enter code here */

.content{
    display: inline-block;
    text-align: left;
    line-height: normal;
    height: 200px;
    border: solid 1px black;
    vertical-align: middle;
    width: 200px;
}

Introduction: Propolis is an important characteristic because it contains bioactive substances such as total phenolics, total flavones, flavonols, total flavanones and dihydroflavonols. Cancer is a large group of disorders characterized by uncontrolled cellular proliferation. It is one of the most devastating diseases all over the world. Recently, there is an increased interest in the clinical use of natural products as a safe, efficient, and economic therapeutic alternative. Honey bee products therapy, apitherapy, was used to control various diseases including cancer. Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to screen potential cytotoxic effects of propolis sample against different cancer types. Materials and Methods: Samples of propolis were collected from Bulgaria, Libya and Egypt and tested by MTT cell-based assay against liver (HEP-G2), breast (MCF-7) and colorectal (Caco-2) cancer cell lines. Results: The results showed that Libyan propolis proved to be most active among all tested propolis samples HEP-G2 (84.99%), MCF-7 (83.57%) and Caco-2 (79.63%). Conclusion: The results showed that propolis it is interesting agents that have valuable activities against HEP-G2, Caco-2 and MCF-7 with propolis being an effective agent that might be incorporated in cancer remedy regimens after further studies.
