We shocked corn early each morning until about noon when a little dew was on the corn.
A 1999 analysis of the Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Patch trial found no difference in quality of life after 6 months between 228 control patients without ICDs and 101 patients with ICDs who had not been shocked, but lower quality of life in 101 other patients with ICDs who had been shocked, compared with controls.

The two officers shocked the boy repeatedly with a stun gun in an attempt to force him to confess to stealing the equipment.
This procedure was utilized, as opposed to a fixed duration shock, so as to be more comparable with past research in our laboratory which utilized escapably shocked and yoked inescapably shocked animals.

Organizational Purpose
Vets Are Not Forgotten
Homeless Vets Matter
"Killing people is easier than it should be." Dad put on his beret. "Staying alive is harder."
Having the stigma associated with co-occurring behavior and PTSD is my "WHY" to the passion exuded in my work ethic, so many people don't understand. SCARP has been reinvigorated by denial, the misconception of others' opinions, and sheer lack of understanding as it relates to employing a survivor of 9 combat campaigns and 6 prison terms, 2 years of living in the backseat of an unregistered vehicle while your wife and you go to school on a cell phone because of a 7-10 year felony employment hold on life.
Why are Veterans Homeless?
There is an extreme shortage of affordable housing for veterans, especially for those suffering from post-traumatic stress and substance use disorders in need of behavioral health services. Also, most returning veterans do not have the family and social support to help them out. One of the deciding factors is most of the training military men and women receive is not transferable into the workplace. This places a lot of veterans at a disadvantage because serving in the Army does not help get returning veterans jobs. Also on any given night, almost 50,000 veterans are without homes. This is a lot and these need to be reduced to none because these men and women served their country to protect everyone. They should not be treated with disrespect, nor should they be homeless.
Currently, the number of homeless Vietnam-era veterans is greater than the number of service persons who died during that war. Also, a small number of Desert Storm veterans are also appearing in the homeless population. Although many homeless veterans served in combat in Vietnam and suffer from PTSD, at this time, epidemiologic studies do not suggest that there is a causal connection between military service, service in Vietnam, or exposure to combat and homelessness among Veterans. Family background, access to support from family and friends, and various personal characteristics (rather than military service) seem to be the stronger indicators of risk of homelessness.
Almost all homeless veterans are male, about 3% are women which is on the rise, the vast majority are single, and most come from poor, disadvantaged backgrounds. Homeless veterans tend to be older and more educated than homeless non-veterans. But similar to the general population of homeless adult males, about 45% of homeless veterans suffer from mental illness, and (with considerable overlap) slightly more than 70% suffer from alcohol or other drug abuse problems. Roughly 56% are African American or Hispanic.
Facts and Statistics of Homeless Veterans
1.According to its own estimates, Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) programs will reach slightly more than 40 percent of America's homeless veterans. ("Background & Statistics." National Coalition for Homeless Veterans.)
2. U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) states that the nation's homeless veterans are predominantly male, with roughly 8% being female. ("Background & Statistics." National Coalition for Homeless Veterans.)
3. About 13% of the adult homeless population are veterans. (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA))
4. Homeless veterans are younger on average than the total veteran population. Approximately 9% are between the ages of 18 and 30, and 41% are between the ages of 31 and 50. Conversely, only 5% of all veterans are between the ages of 18 and 30, and less than 23% are between 31 and 50.
5. Nearly half of homeless veterans served during the Vietnam era. (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA))
6. About 1. 5 million other veterans are considered at risk of homelessness due to poverty, lack of support networks, and dismal living conditions in overcrowded or substandard housing. ("Background & Statistics." National Coalition for Homeless Veterans.)
7. The 2012 Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR) to Congress, prepared by HUD, estimates there were 62,619 homeless Veterans on a single night in January in the United State. (Cortes, Alvaro, Meghan Henry, RJ De La Cruz, and Scott Brown. "2012 Annual Homeless Assessment Report to Congress." Housing and Urban Development: Homelessness Data Exchange)
8. The most effective programs for homeless and at-risk veterans are community-based, nonprofit, "veterans helping veterans" groups. ("Background & Statistics." National Coalition for Homeless Veterans.)
9. More than 67% of Homeless Veterans served our country for at least three years and 33% were stationed in a war zone. ("Stand Down's Information Page about Homeless Veterans." Stand Down's Information Page about Homeless Veterans.)
10. Homeless veterans are more likely to die on the streets than non-veterans. (Goldberg, Eleanor. "Homeless Veterans More Likely To Die On Streets Than Other Homeless People, Study Says." The Huffington Post. TheHuffingtonPost.com, 10 Nov. 2011.)

Improved layout and warehouse operations are the main reasons Food Lion DCs increase productivity from four to six percent
Food Lion LLC operates 1,200 stores in 11 southeastern and mid-Atlantic states, carrying more than 28,000 different products. It is one of three grocery chains operated by Delhaize America, the U.S. division of Brussels-based Delhaize Group.
In September 2000, shortly after Delhaize acquired Hannaford Bros., another grocery chain, it began taking steps to optimize Food Lion's distribution operations.
The first step involved analyzing Delhaize's distribution network, including seven Food Lion distribution centers, three Hannaford Bros. DCs, and a distribution center operating under the Kash N' Karry banner. The multi-temperature distribution centers, which ranged from 200,000 to more than one million square feet, were all located on the east coast of the United States, from Maine to Florida.

...And? It was made clear the whole time that the video was sponsored and while it didn't tread any new ground it's always nice to point out that VR doesn't actually take a computer that costs a ton. The affordable part was the machine not the headset.
The video is called "Can you Game in VR on a Budget?" so someone looking to game in VR on a budget would benefit from knowing about this option, which I'm quite certain would've been mentioned if it weren't for the sponsorship. The sponsorship itself is clearly disclosed thankfully but that wouldn't help someone who's not already closely following this stuff. What I'm saying is it's about ethics in tech "journalism"

I don't know why the food videos exist. They're better than people putting like a pound of bacon and sauce on a sandwich (or find me one of those, I don't seek out his food videos so I don't know what's out there), but they've also never inspired me to make something like food should. They're solidly in the middle of not being gross but also being generic.

Recently Linus uploaded a video where he built a computer with a custom water cooling loop using copper pipes. He said something along the lines of "we've done everything except copper" and a lot of the comments were along the lines of "what about the whole-room water cooling"? This intrigued me, "an idea so bad that even Linus wants to forget he ever had it?" so I looked up the videos:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8bLtg9J1Oc
Don't miss the bit at 30 seconds into the video where Linus is standing on a 2nd floor windowsill next to an open window while using a rolling office chair as a brace to hold his balance.
There's 7 videos total available in a convenient playlist. Spoilers: nothing goes right, and the whole thing turns out to be pointless since they end up moving out of that building within a few months of doing all this work.

I've never water cooled a PC, but even I had to shake my head when Linus filled his reservoir with water straight from the yard hose, added just plain old automotive antifreeze with no biocidal additives, then was shocked when he practically had a brand new form of life growing in his water cooling loop.

wretched single ply might as well use my socks
My favorite reaction to Linus of all time is in one of his recent videos mega build videos with his poo poo tonne of free nvidia titans, he's doing his regular awkward whining why something doesn't work when some dude off screen says "why do you make everything so hard!?"

For the heck of it I re-watched the "whole room water cooling project" thing recently, and in literally the first few minutes of the first video Luke was already dunking on the whole idea, saying he doubted it was going to be even remotely effective and that they should just have gotten a window AC unit.

I was recently surprised to see Barnacules actually has been releasing videos, like once a month or so but he is releasing videos. The biggest reason I stopped watching Barnacules was the number of items he gets donated to him as well as the over usage of dumb jokes *ladies*. I cant really hate on someone for getting free poo poo like a robotic arm or a Peugot Sound computer worth $10K, I just don't want to support someone who gets free poo poo and then does not use it. I felt like Barnacules was either spending too much money, or being given too much free stuff, and not using the expensive tech enough in his videos. I'm not sure if I consider Barnacules better or worse than Linus, they both make immature jokes and waste a lot of money, only Linus is successful at whoring himself and Barnacules is not. I do think that lately Linus' tech videos are more informative than Barnacules, but that's not saying much. Linus and Barnacules both make me interested in the tech they are talking about without being as dry and professional as more educational, strictly technical videos.

Speaking of dry, educational videos, lately I've been watching a lot of the Explaining Computers channel on YouTube, which is hosted by Christopher Barnatt, a British university lecturer. The vids usually focus on single board computers like the Raspberry Pi and its ilk, and are about as dry as toast. But drat if they don't give me serious nostalgia flashbacks to when I was a kid and there'd be a short educational thing on PBS that was imported from the UK.

i mean that's the whole point of the medium is it not? i don't think most people watch youtubers for something as professional and rehearsed as broadcast tv; you're there for the ~authenticity~. i think brits do it well. or at least the british tv i grew up on was always kind of scrappy and low-fi compared to the american stuff so it warms the cockles of my heart etc

overall i think LGR is like the absolute king of this stuff though; the videos are incredibly well produced while still having this homely, cozy vibe. frankly i'd watch that poo poo if it was on tv, but i think the youtube format really suits him. the production value of linus et al (when he's trying really hard to do a big timey review, i actually kind of like his stream of consciousness fuckups) feels a bit wrong to me, like a sultana in a salad
i really hate the guy's style so i don't generally watch him but apparently he's clinically depressed with ongoing mental health issues which prob explains the sporadic uploading. hope he's managing ok

I think it's mainly because he's a university lecturer, so a lot of his stuff is very much in the "get the information across without a bunch of wackiness" vein. It's actually kind of refreshing because the dude is unabashedly a nerd, but not in the modern "I like pop culture things that are currently trendy" sense of today, but the old-school 1980s kind of nerd who likes computers and stuff like that and doesn't worry about whether or not it makes him look hip or cool.
I think some youtube vidoes are approaching the standards of quality for broadcast TV with like good lighting and coherent plot lines, but so many youtubers go overboard with lame sex jokes. I can stand a sex joke every once in a while during a video, I cant stand Barnacules saying "ladies" every 30 seconds in his videos.
I think what I hate most on you tube videos are people who refuse to edit out their mistakes or make any sort of coherent plan before starting to record their video. Like if you search for a video on how to use a particular Word or Powerpoint feature there is a good chance you will find a 15 minute video from a 10 year old kid who bumbles his way around going "click this menu oh no wait that menu no maybe here" and still get the process completely wrong. I mean I like seeing some of the mistakes Linus made to understand "why didn't he just do X and be done in 5 minutes? Linus is so dumb" when you really see "X would have worked in 5 minutes BUT we tried it and. . .".
I also cant remember the last time I watched a video over 30 minutes long and I don't think I have ever watched a live stream. I don't want to watch someone fumble along trying to build something, I want the cliff notes "here is what I made, here is what I tried and why the super easy fast method fails".
I simply cant convince myself to watch Chris Barnett's videos, for one I just don't really care a lot about SBCs, but his style is just too dry, I want to see videos that are more hands on and less talking. I don't mind some dry videos so long as it's still a little hands on and about an interesting topic, like Engineerguy's video on pop cans. Engineerguy later went on to do a 13 part series on candles and well, holy poo poo. On the one hand I'm intrigued and want to know what every last molecule is doing when my candle burns but it's still just a candle.

Fair enough, though in the interest of fairness I should point out that a lot of his videos are pretty hands on re: building and testing the SBCs he reviews, upgrading his various work computers, etc. That said, his style is definitely not to everyone's taste, and if SBCs aren't your thing then yeah, there wouldn't be much else in his channel to grab your interest.
Have you seen Project Binky https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX4lBvHDMs8
I mean cars are tech stuff after all. I'm pretty sure every video is over 30 minutes long but in no way could you describe what they're doing as fumbling.
Engineerguy's soda can video is amazing. It's perfectly presented and really eye-opening to see how much thought, skill and technology goes into even such a simple object that we don't think about at all.
For some more dry tech stuff, Computerphile has some interesting CS related videos. Most are probably not a big revelation to anyone who studied the subject or even self-taught hacks such as myself, but even then it can be quite fascinating as he often has has guest old-school professors or Brian loving Kernighan on.

I misclicked an old LTT video and decided "what the heck, ill let it play". Linus' voice wasn't bad at all back then.

I've been watching a bunch of LGR vids recently. Not just his vids focusing on ancient hardware (which are great), but also his video game ones, and when I ran across the one he did for Lionhead's The Movies, I remembered how much fun I had loving around making stupid machinima vids with that game. I'd lost my original copy years ago somehow, so I ended up seeking out and ordering a copy on eBay last night. Thanks LGR!

I like Technology Connections for old things. He makes no attempt to hide that he's basically doing Wikipedia articles on video, but there's additional context of seeing the stuff/concepts work.
Sometimes I like Technology Connections but most of the time I would rather just read the Wikipedia article instead. What I like most about techmoan, LGR, or 8-bit guy is when they get hands on with old hardware and have to repair or restore it, I haven't seen that on technology connections. Technology Connections is still better than Linus.

On the subject of Apple videos, if you'd like Apple opinions and occasional throwbacks with a healthy dose of cynicism I enjoy Snazzy Labs. If you're into iOS, 91Tech is a guy who does a video or two a week about the value of old iDevices and whether you should buy/sell, he's pretty quiet and monotone and the videos are polished.
I would hesitate to suggest Simple Alpaca because he raises all the flags of a rich kid whose family owns the entire Apple consumer line and is trying to spin that into cash back by producing several videos a day comparing every iPhone ever made against one another twice a year and floating rumor bubbles. This is definitely a quantity over quality approach that will absolutely grate on some people's nerves, however he does very non-scientific tests between all the toys that he owns so if you're really curious how much faster an iPhone 8 can load the News app over an iPhone 7 after some minor bugfix OS update, there you are.
Linus took apart one of his $50,000 RED Digital Cinema 8K cameras. Why? To mod it with water cooling. Note that he took it apart completely blind and with no actual plan for how he was going to do the mod...

Of course this project is possible. But you're going to need far more skill than has been displayed in your other builds. I'd get on the horn with CNC mill operators/machinists ASAP and get whichever minion of yours is best with 3D design to start drawing the mating surfaces of all parts to be cooled.
Also for those wondering it would take about 35 million views for a YouTube video to pay for this camera. Not enough cats, dancing or Fortnite for that to happen.
Holy man now I'm imagining ben heck watching the lovely heatsink series of videos and cringing
I get this overwhelming feeling that when the camera stops rolling, and with 50 grand worth of camera parts sprawled across his table, he turns to his staff, yells "CLEAN THAT UP!" then storms out the room.

The latest news from Microsoft Build 2015: Windows 10, HoloLens, and more
By Verge Staff
At Build 2015, Microsoft offered fresh details on its vision of Windows 10 as one operating system that consumers will use across PCs, smartphones, tablets, and the Xbox One game console. Among other announcements, we learned the name of Internet Explorer's successor: Microsoft Edge. The company also revealed that Office will soon be its own platform with add-on apps running inside the productivity suite. Microsoft plans to make it easier for developers to bring apps from Android and iOS to Windows on smartphones. And once again, we got a demonstration of the futuristic HoloLens headset. These and other stories below are the biggest news to come from Microsoft's Build 2015 conference.

A severely limited supply of landed homes may help their prices hold up better this year compared with condominiums. Analysts say although landed home prices have fallen over the past few quarters owing to generally poor market sentiment, the segment's slowdown could ease off this year and even bottom out.
Making a building user-friendly is not just about having ramps or handrails, but also helping people find their way about and giving them spaces to relax. These principles of "universal design" are captured in the 31 projects being awarded the Building and Construction Authority's Universal Design Mark this year.
Property agents have been issued a reminder about proper marketing procedures for Housing Board resale flats, after new rules were introduced in March. The Council for Estate Agencies (CEA) recently advised the heads of property firms here that advertising efforts must not refer to the actual valuation of the flat. Only references to the seller's asking price should be mentioned.
I refer to the letter "Impractical to force condo owners to attend AGMs" (May 10).
While I agree that it is impractical to force condominium owners to attend annual general meetings (AGMs), I disagree that the 10 to 15 per cent regular attendance witnessed at AGMs is due to the excellent job done by councils and managing agents (MAs). It seems more to do with the lack of publicity by MAs about the dates of AGMs.
The writer is correct in saying that important issues are decided at AGMs. He is also right in pointing out that it is wrong to say the Building Maintenance and Strata Management Act (BMSMA) is inadequate for protecting the interests of subsidiary proprietors (SPs).
It then falls back on how the Act would be interpreted fairly to resolve issues and whether employees act professionally in their interpretation.
The AGM at my condominium is scheduled for May 31. As a concerned SP, I submitted a requisition motion for an ordinary resolution at the coming AGM.
Under the BMSMA, this requires 14 days' written notice. My request was sent on May 9, which is more than 21 days' notice. However, the strata residential manager rejected my request.
Publicity about AGM dates is meant to achieve good attendance. But, with such an attitude, how will it attract more SPs to attend AGMs?
This incident illustrates only one of many such practices by MAs and Management Corporation Strata Title councils, where matters are taken into their own hands, even though the BMSMA is meant to protect interests of SPs. This turns off SPs who may have a keen interest in how their estate is managed.
LAST week's column suggested that the play for the forthcoming five days would revolve around US Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen's testimony to the Joint Economic Committee on Wednesday. Our forecast was for weakness at the start of the week, followed by a midweek rebound. As it turned out, things played out almost exactly as forecast - the Straits Times Index (STI) was weak on Monday to Wednesday, before rebounding on Thursday and Friday reportedly because of Ms Yellen's reassurances.
In the absence of any major local developments, this week's direction will probably also be dictated by external events, mainly out of the US. As always, the recommendation would be to stick to the STI's components as this is where the meaningful action, liquidity and interest lie.
It is very likely that the market will focus on US housing data this week. Why housing? Because, though Ms Yellen last week did not really spring any surprises in her testimonies, she did single out housing as the troubling sector that bears watching. According to some expert observers, this departure from the norm is worth keeping in mind.
The National Association of Home Builders' Housing Market Index is due to be released on Wednesday, this being a weighted average of separate diffusion indexes: present sales of new homes, sale of new homes expected in the next six months, and traffic of prospective buyers in new homes.
[DUBAI] The US economy should accelerate in the second quarter to an annual growth rate of 3 per cent or more, but it may not be clear for some time if the pick-up is sustainable, a Federal Reserve official said yesterday.
Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta president Dennis Lockhart also said he expected the US central bank to have run down its bond-buying programme by its October or December meeting and to start raising interest rates in the second half of next year.
The US economy hardly grew in the first quarter but has gathered pace since. Philadelphia Fed president Charles Plosser said on Thursday he expected full-year growth of 3 per cent.
Speaking to a business gathering in Dubai, Mr Lockhart was more circumspect. "It may not be clear for several months, or even quarters, whether the US economy is undeniably on a stronger and sustained growth path around a run rate of 3 per cent," he said.
[KUALA LUMPUR] It could take up to two years before businesses are able to operate smoothly once the goods and services tax (GST) is implemented.
The time after the introduction of GST is critical as uncertainties and changes made by the government would most likely arise, making it especially challenging for businesses, according to Malaysian daily The Star. The implementation of GST will prove to be a steep learning curve for most businesses within the country that have no exposure overseas. "It is a learning experience for businesses and tax authorities," says KPMG's leader for Indirect Taxes Centre of Excellence in China Lachlan Wolfers. For this reason, he adds that it is critical for the government to provide some leniency to businesses in the initial one to two years after the tax is implemented.
"The implementation of GST in Australia was successful because the government was trying to encourage the people to do the right thing and voluntarily comply and when you do that, people will naturally take the effort. So, I think having the same leniency is very important," he says.
For Malaysia, the benefit of coming on board the GST train at this time is that it can learn from the successes and failures from implementation in other countries.


LAHORE - Italian architect Gabriella Brignone, managing director of Fabiomazzeo Architects, visited the LDA on Tuesday on the invitation of Lahore Development Authority Director General Amna Imran Khan. She addressed a capacity-building session for officers of Town Planning and Metropolitan Planning wings of the LDA and highlighted the latest trends in construction of buildings. She talked about the concept of Smart Cities and development of urban centres in future keeping in view the increasing population. She suggested ways and means for meeting new challenges arising out of urban growth and underlined the importance of construction of high rise buildings. She asked for encouraging construction of such buildings in view of the increasing scarcity of land in cities. Earlier, Amna Imran Khan met Italian Ambassador Stefano Pontecorvo on the eve of an Italian Design Day function at the National College of Arts and discussed with him issues pertaining to the development of Lahore, especially construction of infrastructure and its beautification.


As technology has evolved to allow for real-time, one-to-one personalization, data scientists are getting more involved in marketing. As a result, the world of personalization is increasingly intersecting with the world of data science. But what do data scientists do? What is their role in the process? We set out to answer that question with last week's webinar, "A Marketer's Q&A with a Data Scientist about Personalization." Our Director of Product Marketing, T.J. Prebil, chatted with Aaron Baker, Data Scientist at Brooks Bell, to give us all more insight into the life of a data scientist.
I cover some of the information he shared in this blog post, but be sure to watch the webinar replay for the full presentation and all the details.
What is a data scientist's role?
To complete the pattern in the worksheet, you have to identify what the pattern is and use it to figure out what comes next. Aaron says that data science is a lot like this worksheet: uncovering patterns in data.
So if you're looking for a definition, a data scientist is a person who uncovers patterns in data to engineer a result.
At Evergage, that result is often a personalized experience for a prospect or customer. But data science is much broader than that. It can be about uncovering insights to define business strategy, identifying the next product or feature for a company, and more.
Essentially, data scientists find creative solutions to problems — with data at the core.
How do we reduce churn?
How can we improve customer engagement?
What's the impact of our digital ads?
How do we optimize the supply chain?
How do we spot fraud?
How do we identify at-risk patients?
Which patients are likely to have a certain disease?
How do we display the optimal page layout?
How do we display the most relevant products?
How do we optimize the onsite search results?
When is the most optimal time to trigger notifications?
Data scientists always start with a clear question so they can ensure they come up with a clear answer to it.
To find a good solution to a good problem, you need to have good data. Data scientists spend a lot of their time sourcing data. They need to figure out what data they need, identify if that data even exists, and then determine if they can get access to that data.
Once they have identified their data sources, they need to bring all of that data together in a central location and build a model or algorithm to analyze it. Models require ongoing evaluation and monitoring to make sure that they work effectively and can actually answer the right questions. But once they have a working model, data scientists can provide helpful answers to tricky business questions, offering creative solutions based on real data.
As we move to a world of one-to-one personalization across channels, data scientists are playing an increasingly critical role in the customer experience. They are needed to help answer important questions, find value in disparate data, and apply insights to deliver relevant experiences at the individual level.
The right platform can help those data scientists in their efforts, from collecting data, delivering cross-channel experiences, previewing and testing those experiences, and analyzing results. To learn more about data scientists and the role they play in an organization, in marketing, and in personalization, watch the full webinar replay (there is much more that Aaron covered that I didn't get to in this blog post!).
And to learn how Evergage can help you deliver one-to-one experiences with in-depth data and machine-learning algorithms (even without a data scientist!) request a demo today.

Torreira, Shaqiri and Wilshere: Best and worst Premier League transfers of the 2018/19 season so far
We pick out five who have proven decent value and five who have been a waste of money
David Brooks, Bournemouth: There aren't many players that come from the lower divisions and take to the Premier League like a duck to water - especially aged just 21. The Welsh international wideman cost £11.5m from Sheffield United and has fitted straight into Bournemouth's fluent style, adding five goals including both against Brighton at the weekend. A bright future lies ahead and a sharp increase in his transfer value. Getty Images
Richarlison, Everton: Eyebrows were raised when £40m was forked out for the Brazilian after a single reasonable season at Watford. But he sprung into action with two goals on his debut and another in his second match for Everton. He now has eight, plus three more for Brazil this season and has become the focal point of his club's attack. Again, not bad for a 21-year-old whose best years are ahead of him. Action Images via Reuters
Riyad Mahrez, Manchester City: The critics questioned whether he would be swallowed up at City and find himself warming the bench for long periods behind Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane. While he hasn't started every game, he has however made a significant impact, scoring seven times since his £60m move. He's shown there was life beyond Leicester City and his double act with Jamie Vardy. He's at the right club and has fitted in wonderfully. Reuters
Xherdan Shaqiri, Liverpool: You wonder how many clubs were put off by the Swiss' apparent sulkiness during Stoke's relegation campaign last season. Liverpool took the plunge and their £13m looks a snip. Like Mahrez, it was tricky to see where he would fit in with the form of Salah, Mane and Firmino, but he's taken his chances when they've come with five goals and is versatile enough to play in midfield or attack. Could end up being the bargain of the season. Reuters
Lucas Torreira, Arsenal: Hands up who had never heard of Torreira before his £26.4m move from Sampdoria. Everyone has heard of him now. Small in stature but bites hard, passes, scores and has added an extra vibe at times which has been missing from Arsenal's midfield for some time. Reuters
The halfway point in the season is upon us, and that means it's a fair time to pass judgement on the summer signings in the English Premier League.
A huge amount was once again splashed out before the transfer window shut in August – and not all clubs spent wisely.
Of course, many have been a success, including some at the upper end of the price list, such as Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson, whose save at the end of the recent Uefa Champions League victory over Napoli was likened to him scoring the winning goal and had manager Jurgen Klopp purring.
However, he did follow it up with a glaring error against Manchester United which led to a goal for Jesse Lingard.
Still, Liverpool are now four points clear at the top of the table and finally look like the complete package with the Brazilian installed in goal.
Mention should also go to another goalkeeper, Joe Hart at Burnley, who cost just £3.5 million (Dh16.2m) from Manchester City but has shown signs of regaining the consistent form which made him England No 1 for many years. Unfortunately for him, Burnley are just two points off the foot of the table.
One more who hasn't made the top five best buys but came close is West Ham United's Felipe Anderson, who cost around £40m from Lazio.
It took him until his eighth appearance to get off the mark, but he's now scored six times, many of them impressive strikes, to propel the Hammers up the table.
You can see the five best signings at the top of the screen, while below are the five worst.
Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa, Fulham: It could just be an anomaly of the statistics, but Fulham haven't won any of the seven league games in which he has started since his £30m move from Marseille. The Cameroonian was sent off against Manchester United and with the club bottom of the table they haven't been getting much value from the midfielder - or anyone else for that matter (except Mitrovic and Schurrle). Getty Images
Ramadan Sobhi, Huddersfield Town: He's been linked with a move away in January after just four sub appearances since his £5.7m move from Stoke. There were hopes he could follow in the footsteps of fellow Egyptian Mohamed Salah and make an impact in the Premier League but it feels as though that dream is fading away. Getty Images
Alireza Jahanbakhsh, Brighton and Hove Albion: The Iranian winger had an impressive goals record at AZ Alkmaar before his £17m move in the summer but the season hasn't gone too well yet. Four league starts, no goals. It was a big outlay for a club such as Brighton and their record buy has been out injured since November and was due back at the weekend but suffered a setback. Getty Images
Jack Wilshere, West Ham United. Ok, so he came on a free transfer but he's being paid a lot of money. There was always a risk after so many injury-ravaged seasons at Arsenal and now here's another. Just four league starts and a three-month injury lay-off, and now he's been hit by another injury. Was it really a risk worth taking? Getty Images
Fred, Manchester United: Ouch - £52m was spent on the Brazilian and all for what? In and out of the United side, he's come to symbolise the malaise at Old Trafford which ended in Jose Mourinho being shown the door. Not in the same class as a Roy Keane or Paul Scholes, just who truly sanctioned this deal, and will the change of manager alter the fortunes for Fred in the second half of the season? PA via AP

Good morning, friends. Today, it's all about the video. Here are three that have crossed my radar recently and they are all definitely worth a look.
This is a kick-a** video because it speaks to the beauty of "alonedom", something society fears, says poet Andrea Dorfman. It doesn't speak to a lack of connectedness, but rather peace within oneself. Be patient.
This kick-a** video is a keeper, especially if you have important young women in your life. Often, we take for granted the beauty of those showcased in magazines, on runways and in photos. Thank you, Dove, for demonstrating the "art" brought about through airbrushing and photo re-touching.
3. Dove Real Beauty Sketches...How would you describe yourself? Is it comparable to how others would describe you?
The folks at Dove hit another home run with their latest video about self perception. This kick-a** video has gone viral on Facebook, but it's worth a ponder...how would you describe yourself? Is it how others see you?
Happy Thursday, friends. Be gentle with yourself on your journey. Believe in your beauty and your goodness and your ability to accomplish great things.

Seasonal habitat use and movements of woodland caribou in the Omineca Mountains, north central British Columbia, 1991-1993

Rangifer, woodland caribou, snow depths, mortality, population dynamics, habitat use, migration, Omineca, British Columbia
From 1991 to 1993, 30 woodland caribou were captured and fitted with radio-collars west of the Williston Reservoir in north central B.C. Monthly radio-telemetry location flights revealed that caribou in the Northern Area, characterized by a complex of mountain ranges, moved greater distances to calving areas than did those in the South, where only one major mountain range exists. In the year of record heavy snowfall for the area, all collared caribou wintered on windswept alpine slopes, while during the below average snowfall year, many caribou remained in forested habitats. In winter, caribou were found to forage on terrestrial lichens in both lowland lodgepole pine flats and on windswept alpine slopes, and on arboreal lichens in upper elevation Engelmann spruce and subalpine fir forests. There are at least 600-700 caribou in the Omineca Mountains.

The nation's third biggest radio market casts a big shadow over number 37.
wgn-am
OnMedia: In the shadow of Chicago radio
There are upsides and downsides to living so close to the nation's third-largest radio market -- and lessons for Milwaukee radio ... Vince Condella says "no" to the pro-mustache crowd ... Did Tina Fey's naughty teacher sketch go too far?
By Tim Cuprisin Media Columnist Published Apr 12, 2010 at 11:00 AM
Watch Tim Cuprisin's On Media on Time Warner Cable's Wisconsin on Demand Channel 411, with new episodes posted Fridays.
Big changes on Chicago's AM dial have an impact on Milwaukee radio listeners in two different ways.
First, of course, are the actual listeners to Chicago radio. Some of Chicago's AM dial is easy to pick up here, and last week's latest shuffle on WGN-AM (720) yielded a couple calls and e-mails from Wisconsin WGN listeners wondering what was up.
But more importantly, changes in the radio business usually hit the nation's third-largest market before they hit Milwaukee, now No. 37 on Arbitron's list of radio markets.
WGN's shuffle was mostly in response to ratings -- a far tougher game for the "heritage" radio station than it was before the Chicago market adopted Arbitron's new Portable People Meter ratings system in 2008. Heritage stations have maintained a specific identity in their market for decades.
Well, the People Meters -- which provide monthly, rather than quarterly ratings -- may make it harder to maintain any heritage. The numbers are coming quicker, and the responses by programmers may come more quickly.
In Milwaukee, the "heritage" station is WTMJ-AM (620). The station divides its broadcast day between the more traditional "information station" in mornings and afternoons, the conservative Republican talk station from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. weekdays, and sports after 6 p.m.
It's the sports part to keep an eye -- or an ear -- on. Portable People Meters will start measuring Milwaukee radio listening this fall.
One of the big changes at Chicago's WGN is the axing of its evening sports/talk show, which ran from 7 to 9 p.m., when there wasn't sports game coverage. In its place is a talk show hosted by an ex-con politician, Jim Laski.
That show could be a short-term phenomenon. What's important is that WGN surrendered sports/talk to stations that do it full-time.
But the most important thing here may be the rapidity with which WGN is making changes. It's on its third morning show host in three years. It's now shaken up its entire lineup, with some parts of the day shuffled a couple times.
Milwaukee is a radio market that focuses on stability. Some drive-time hosts, both morning and afternoon (the most important time slots in radio) have been behind their microphones for decades.
The coming change in the ratings system could see some of them continue to thrive. But until the numbers start coming in, nobody knows what will happen.
On TV: Channel 6 weather guy Vince Condella shaved his mustache a year ago, but there's an active "Please Bring Back the Mustache!!" Facebook page, with nearly 300 supporters. Vince posted his own answer, a firm "no": "I had it for 33 years and was more than happy to shave it off on May 1, 2009. It's time had come. Remember folks, change is good."
Channel 4 morning co-anchor Vince Vitrano should be back on the air by the middle of the week after taking a few days off for his young son Max's tonsil-adenoid surgery.
Tiffany Ogle, co-host of Channel 4's "Morning Blend," has launched a blog. C'mon Tiffany, one post a week is not enough. Of course, her co-host, Molly Fay hasn't updated her blog since February.
NBC has renewed its limited-run "The Sing-Off" for a second season
Naughty, naughty Tina: While Tina Fey's Sarah Palin bit caught a lot of attention after the latest "Saturday Night Live," she did a lot sketches in one of the better installments of NBC's "SNL" in a long time.
One funny and uncomfortable sketch featured teen pop star Justin Bieber as a student and Fey as his ickily obsessed teacher. Some viewers are saying it was a little too icky. Of course, that was the point. I thought it worked.
What about you, did you think it went too far?

The income we reached last year was over £2 million. Many people supported our work with regular donations and one-off gifts. Major Trusts such as the Henry Smith Charity, BBC Children in Need and Comic Relief support us. Companies also contributed with money and work in kind. We would not have achieved our continued success without their contribution. Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council support remains crucial for our work and the Welsh Assembly Government funding via Communities First is also essential if we are to tackle the causes of poverty in some of the most deprived communities in Europe.
The majority of our expenditure, 94% is spent in our Community and Family Hubs. These are based in some of the most disadvantaged areas in South Wales and the support we provide makes a real difference to the children and families in those areas. In the end these figures translate into services and activities for individuals whose lives are transformed by the support offered by our staff and volunteers.
The money we spend is only part of the answer. It only provides a framework of support for people to solve the problems themselves.


On my maternal side, I find so many interesting family ancestors in France, one being Jeanne d'Evreux.
I have traced my mother's family tree to Jeanne d'Evreux on my maternal great-grandmother's side. Most exciting to me is that she was such a patron of the arts and that there are many historical references to her Book of Hours, something that has interested me for the past ten years!

Bend, Ore., January 28, 2016 – The Conservation Alliance released its 2015 Annual Report this week, providing an overview of the organization's accomplishments last year. During the year, the organization contributed a record $1.6 million to 43 conservation organizations throughout North America. The report also includes a summary of the 11 conservation victories Conservation Alliance grantees secured in 2015, protecting 1.1 million acres of land and 13 river miles, acquiring one climbing area, and removing two dams.
"It is exciting to tally our results at the end of each year, and 2015 was productive on every front," said John Sterling, Executive Director of The Conservation Alliance. "Thanks to our member companies, we gave away a record amount to organizations that get the job done. Because of those organizations, we celebrate the protection of special wild places from New York to Oregon, and many places in between."
In addition to the funding success, The Conservation Alliance added 27 new members. Each member company pays annual dues into a central fund, and the organization contributes 100-percent of those dues to conservation organizations.
"We continue to attract great companies, large and small, to our organization," said Sterling. "We take this growth as a sign that brands value our model of companies working together to protect the wild places so important to their customers."
The Conservation Alliance also hosted six Backyard Collective stewardship projects, and five Wild Drinks gatherings. These events bring employees of member companies together with grantees for a day of field work, or for informational happy hours.
Through its Advocacy Program, The Conservation Alliance provided 17 opportunities for member companies to become directly engaged in the conservation work of grantees. Activities included training business leaders in conservation policy and meeting with Congressional and Obama Administration representatives to explain why conservation is important to outdoor businesses.
"We plan to build on our success in 2015 to have an even better year in 2016," said Sterling.

'Glass Guru' takes great panes at Findlay church
Brenna Griteman
Robert Lennox, founder and owner of Stained Glass Imagery in Oviedo, Florida, stands in the sanctuary of Trinity Episcopal Church with rector the Rev. John Drymon. As part of the church's three-year capital campaign, Lennox has been hired to restore the church's historic stained-glass windows. He will spend about a week at a time over the next eight months working on the project. (Photo by Randy Roberts)
By BRENNA GRITEMAN
LIFE EDITOR
"Glass Guru" Robert Lennox has had his hands on some very important windows, including those at Trinity Wall Street (yes, that Wall Street), the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., and the Cloisters at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
But a winter stained-glass window restoration project at a historic Findlay church holds just as special a place in his heart as any high-profile, big-city endeavor.
"All windows and all churches are different," Lennox says. "Being involved with this work and bringing things back and giving them new life, that's my calling in life."
The ambitious project at Trinity Episcopal Church has an added layer of sweetness, as one of the windows being touched up is in memory of the brother of one of Lennox's closest friends, parishioner Tom Brumley.
Walking through the sanctuary of the downtown Findlay church, Lennox pointed out the time-tested beauty in the windows flooding the room in golden sunlight. Each of the windows was crafted in the medieval method from the 11th century, he said, leaded, hand-cut and hand-painted, with faceted jewels placed throughout. He stopped at a small cathedral window depicting Jesus and two apostles, with a plaque below reading "To the Glory of God in Memory of John Brumley, 1946-1966."
It is this connection to this particular window that brought the owner of Stained Glass Imagery in Oviedo, Florida, to Findlay in the first place. Lennox and his wife, Tammy — also a stained-glass artist — are dear friends of Tom and Deborah Brumley. The Brumleys mentioned that their church had launched a capital campaign seeking to restore its many Victorian-era stained-glass windows, and "one thing led to another," Lennox says.
The craftsman will make regular visits to the church over the next eight months, in an effort to ensure the windows stand the test of another 100-plus years.
Leaded windows such as the church's are puttied as a form of water-proofing, and much of that putty has dried up over the past century. Some panels have been replaced poorly and, to a trained eye, stick out like a sore thumb, Lennox says. Still, he praised the church for taking such good care of its windows through the years and for keeping the collection from being broken up and discarded.
"It's an intact set of original windows, which is hard to find," he says.
Lennox's work will be highlighted by the weather-proofing of the church's large, south-facing Gothic window, whose exterior glass is no longer sealed and protected from Ohio's harsh weather. While he alone will be able to repair most of the windows in the church, this particular window will require a team of about four.
The Rev. John Drymon has been rector of the church for about two years and says, upon arriving in Findlay, he immediately recognized that he had stumbled upon a "real hidden gem" in the 125-year-old sanctuary.
According to a centennial-year church history written in 1981, Trinity Mission, as the church was originally called, hosted its first services in 1881. The early church rented a room on East Sandusky Street, with the first baptisms performed in January 1882.
The church gained its first independent building on Maddox Avenue (now Lima Avenue) in 1887, and the building burned in 1890. The church was rebuilt on Mound Avenue and, in 1893, was again destroyed by fire. After each fire, the congregation continued to worship at the local YMCA.
In May 1893, the same cornerstone of the previous two church buildings was laid at Trinity's current location, 128 W. Hardin St. The Good Shepherd window, a focal point inside the sanctuary, was donated soon after by Mrs. M.C. Murray in memory of her late husband.
Today, an average 70 to 100 parishioners attend weekly Sunday services.
Drymon says the window improvements are among the first of the church's three-year capital campaign projects, which also include renovations to the pipe organ, restoring the church bell and upgrades to the kitchen and parish hall.
"The idea is, these are projects that are going to ensure the health of our physical plant" into the future, allowing the church to carry out its spiritual and missionary work over the next 100 years, Drymon says.
Lennox, who apprenticed in stained glass work for seven years before going on to launch his own business in 1989, says he enjoys traveling from church to church and discovering the novelties at each. Sometimes this is a box of Tiffany glass stashed away inside a crate in a church basement, but oftentimes it's the more subtle nuances that can be found in each set of windows and the character of each individual church building.
"I love stained-glass windows and I love Victorian churches," Lennox says.
Drymon invites members of the community to stop by the church to view the historic windows and to watch the restoration taking place. Lennox will be visiting for about a week at a time through early spring to complete the project.

Q: Creating Multiple event callbacks from fragment to the activity I was able to create a single event callback from a fragment to the activity. However, I have problem with creating two event callbacks from the same fragment.
Basically, I have a button on the fragment1 layout, when click on it, it will execute something in mainactivity, and then, it changes hide the Button at fragment1 layout, and then  I need to send a Boolean from the fragment to activity, then initiate fragment2.
How can I implement the 2nd callback interface in the mainacativity.
Here is my code:
at Fragment1:
public class Fragment1 extends Fragment{

private static final String TAG = "Fragment1";

Boolean in1, in2;
Button btn1;

ListenerA mListenerA;

public interface ListenerA{
    public void methodA(Boolean in1);
};

ListenerB mListenerB;

public interface ListenerB{
    public void methodB(Boolean in2);
};

@Override
public void onAttach(Context context) {
    super.onAttach(context);

    if(context instanceof ListenerA)
        mListenerA = (ListenerA)context;

    if(context instanceof ListenerB)
        mListenerB = (ListenerB)context;
}
@Nullable
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View myView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment1, container, false);

    btn1 = (Button) myView.findViewById(R.id.btn1_ID);
    btn1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            mListenerA.methodA(true);
        }
    });
    return myView;
}

public void showBtnMethod (Boolean showBtn){
    if (showBtn==false) {
        btn1.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);

        mListenerB.methodB(true); //***** problematic line
    }
}
}

and the code in the main activity is below. please note that on the first line I was able only to implement one method from the fragment.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements Fragment1.ListenerA {

private static final String TAG = "MainActivity";
public Fragment1 mFragment1;
public Fragment2 mFragment2;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    if (savedInstanceState == null) {
        FragmentTransaction transaction1 = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
        mFragment1 = new Fragment1();
        transaction1.replace(R.id.content_fragment_ID, mFragment1);
        transaction1.commit();
    }
}

// this gets called by ListenerA when click on the button
public void methodA(Boolean in){
    if (in==true){
        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "mMethodA Executed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        triggerShowMethod();
    }
};

private void triggerShowMethod(){
    mFragment1.showBtnMethod(false);
};
// Problematic section is below
public void methodB(Boolean in){
    if (in==true){

        FragmentTransaction transaction2 = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
        mFragment2 = new Fragment2();
        transaction2.replace(R.id.content_fragment_ID, mFragment2);
        transaction2.commit();
        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "mMethodB Executed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

    }
};

}

A: You can simply consolidate both interfaces into one:
public interface Listener{
    public void methodA(Boolean in1);
    public void methodB(Boolean in2);
};

and in your MainActivity:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements Fragment1.Listener

A: Your activity doesn't implement ListenerB.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements Fragment1.ListenerA, Fragment1.ListenerB {

}

Plant a Tree for Bruce
Bruce Dunreath Brower
January 15, 1953 ~ February 5, 2021 (age 68)
Bruce Dunreath Brower, 68, died peacefully on February 5, 2021 in Good Samaritan Hospital in Brockton, Massachusetts. He was born in Riverhead, New York on January 15, 1953. His father, Lieutenant Colonel Charles F. Brower, III, was from Purcellville, Virginia and a fighter pilot in the U.S. Air Force who served in World War II and the Korean and Vietnam wars. His mother, Maribeth O'Donnell Brower, was from Richmond, Virginia. Bruce was the fourth born of five siblings, and is survived by Charles F. Brower, IV, of Lexington, Virginia; Robert Keith Brower of Midlothian, Virginia; Michael Randolph Brower of Gulf Breeze, Florida; and Elisabeth Page Kay of Yarmouth, Maine.
As the son of a military officer, Bruce led a peripatetic life, with his father's assignments leading him to New York, Maryland, Virginia, Massachusetts, South Carolina, and Florida, as well as overseas to England and Germany. Although he never had military service himself, Bruce loved his association with the military and that love sustained him throughout his life. Indeed, later in life he proudly adopted the nickname, "Sarge."
At the age of 5 while living in England, Bruce sustained a brain injury in a bicycle accident. His mother and father spent the remainder of their lives ensuring that the initial prognosis of an institutionalized life for Bruce was a mistaken one. Their combination of home and special schooling, occupational therapy, mountains of love, and remarkable energy helped create a path for the defiantly independent life Bruce would try to lead in his later years.
Bruce struck out on his own in his late 20's, a rocky journey that led him to Texas, California, Washington, New York and finally, in 2007 to Brockton, Massachusetts. There, with the help of the Brockton Housing Authority, his caregivers, and family, he lived a stable and contented life in his own small apartment until his death, enjoying his beloved John Wayne and Clint Eastwood westerns and an ever-present Pepsi or Grande Mocha Latte.
Wheelchair-bound from his injuries, Bruce was recognized in his apartment complex and nearby Brockton as a friendly, colorful, gregarious, and good-hearted character. In his camouflaged field jacket and cowboy hat, the bearded "Sarge" greeted friends and passersby alike, almost always receiving a friendly acknowledgement.
The Brower family offers its profound gratitude to Bruce's caregivers over the last years of his life in Brockton, and are especially thankful to Mark Auger, Theresa Alves, and Nelly Alves for their care of Bruce and to Vanessa Cabral, Brandon Shea, and Geena Fransciosi for their case management roles. Their efforts and devotion helped Bruce to maintain the independence that was his most prized possession, and we will be forever grateful to them.
Bruce will be interred with his parents at the Massachusetts National Cemetery in Bourne, Massachusetts. A family graveside gathering will be planned for a later date. Memorial contributions may be made to the Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless, 73 Buffum Street, Lynn, Massachusetts 01902.

You can still show your support by sending flowers directly to the family, or by planting a memorial tree in the memory of Bruce Dunreath Brower

So I was catching up with a friend of mine on Facebook, when she asked a question that made me realize that she and I hadn't chatted in a while. So as I was catching her up, I realized that my life must sound a little Job-ian.
I mean, from an outsider's perspective, it must seem like the sky is falling all around me. Whether it be Baby Girl three years ago, or K's NF, my general health issues/lupus or my separation, I can appreciate that it sounds really terrible. But it's really not. And I have a really hard time trying to explain to people why I don't think it's as bad as they seem to think it is. In fact, my life is pretty darn good, thank you very much.
I joked with one of my sisters that on occasion when I talk to people (including them!) that it's as if I've been diagnosed with a terminal illness or someone close to me has died. There's sort of this soft, "are you okay?" and the "but how are you really doing?" and don't get me wrong, I appreciate the concern. I'd probably be upset if they stopped asking. But nobody seems to want to believe me when I tell you that most days are better than okay: they're good – sometimes great. Sure, there are some bad days, bu I tend to ignore those and move on.
And that's when I realized that most of us spend too much time on the big events. Big events, whether good or bad, can consume you. And when they're good and all-consuming, that seems like a wonderful thing. But when they're bad and all-consuming, it can be very, very dark. So I want to spend some time celebrating the little things. That's one of the reasons I started my Gratitude Journal (oh crap, I should do another one of those).
In the end, everyone has to find the way through life that works best for them. For me, I like to remember that just because life might seem a little Job-ian, doesn't mean that I have to feel like Job. And just because things get a little soap-opera-y is no excuse for acting like shrill shrew. Because my every day has some little bits of amazing in it all over the place – I just have to remember to look.

Am I Taxed After I Inherit My Dad's Home?
There is something fantastic about dwelling the place you have got been introduced up and the place your family, equivalent to sisters and brothers, cousins, aunts and uncles, are simply throughout town or in a close-by metropolis. You can take the time to go to them everytime you feel the necessity. You realize that no matter occurs, they are going to be there for you.
I simply don't know the way arduous it will be to get my sister and her two boys to sign any sort of formal settlement. Particularly understanding I might possible sell immediately. I am forty three years outdated now and my youthful brother then 6 (ten years youthful than me) stated I took him to see this movie. It has been a staple in both of our libraries and all 7 of our kids mixed have seen Goonies a gazillion of times! Goonies never say die! Every particular person has a thoughts of their very own, even in a family. We should always never stop striving to understand these minds. In our society there may be all the time the fixed lure of external affect.
John shot down 7 planes, 6 in Libya, and was misplaced over Greece whereas in a battle in which eighty RAF planes were severely over-matched by 800 Axis flyers. John was buried in an unmarked grave. OLR, thanks so much for graciously forgiving me. I couldn't get everyone but I appreciate you pointing him out. He's positively worthy of mention. Take care! You invite us to an attention-grabbing ans wonderful journey right here:) An interesting place and such an exquisite house Elworth House seems to be.

Every hair grows from a single follicle, which eventually dies and the hair drops off. (These are the hairs we see in our combs) Nevertheless fur has sturdy guard hairs in addition to a completely undercoat layer. That smooth undercoat sheds regularly or during sure seasons, relying on the dog breed. Unfortunately, after chatting with a mortgage specialist at the bank, they were instructed that they didn't qualify for the quantity to purchase me out.
The kids and their spouses each love going there now, and at the moment are very thoughtful with one another. We simply did not need them to be burdened with Capital Gains after we die or run into the possible mess of 'Shares' in a single, but loved seasonal property. That is the job of our Chartered Accountant to advise us there.


The Emotion Anger has a bad status and reputation of being denied, rejected and judged. What is not being fairly judged is that Anger has a purpose when is used within reasons when a rule is broken, boundaries breached and a state of well being is imposed.
Being Angry is sometimes Shamed upon when the person who irritates and harass the weaker one enjoys agitating and tormenting the targets emotions.
Suppressed Anger is lethal to anyone who is an epic people-pleaser. It ruins their self esteem, sense of personal values and self worth. Suppressed Anger also diminishes ones ability to voice their reason and power of their emotions and feelings. Many people are struggling to express their voice because they are programmed to diminish their feelings and suppress their anger as unimportant, does not matter and people could care less of their feelings. Hence recognizing one's emotions is one of the most important self loving responsibility you could ever do to protect, shield and defend yourself to your social surrounding. Knowing your Anger without the influence of how other people try to avoid, diminish, shift your attention to ignore your anger, and protecting your anger as how you choose to protect your personal power is your self protection mechanism to your pride and dignity.
The long term effect of dismissing and diminishing your anger and being in denial of your angry feelings will kill your self-esteem, self worth, and evaporate your bank of self respect, dignity and pride. You will feel lack of self will and unable to stand up for anything else for your life.
When your anger is dismissed and disconnected from you, you carry an easily accessible door to allow anyone to mistreat you, take advantage of you, lie to you, shame you, criticize you, attack you without you ever being able to get angry to defend yourself.
No matter who has brainwash you to forget on how to get angry, remembering your sense of worth, and how you should have been treated better may trigger remembrance that your life here has value and no one with the right mind should ever oppress your ability to express your feelings if they have made you mad or angry.

Endosulfan: Centre in Denial
It has been more than a dozen years since health professionals in north Kerala started noticing unusual health disorders in the tracts where there had been aerial spraying of the pesticide endosulfan on cashew plantations. Surveys, studies and countless media reports have brought out the burden of endosulfan. The Government of Kerala has even banned the sale of the pesticide. But the use of endosulfan continues elsewhere in the country, and India which has become a major exporter of this pesticide, remains adamant in its opposition to a global ban.
