Welsh Open Final: John Higgins vs Barry Hawkins
by David Caulfield on March 4, 2018
The final of the 2018 Welsh Open will be contested between John Higgins and Barry Hawkins in Cardiff on Sunday.
Higgins beat Hawkins 17-8 in the Sheffield semi-final last year. Photo credit: World Snooker
Neither was at his best in the semi-finals but they each still managed to outfox lower ranked opposition to reach the showdown for glory in the season's last Home Nations series event.
Higgins eventually pulled away from a gritty Gary Wilson with breaks of 99 and a 106 in the last to seal a 6-2 triumph.
Earlier on Saturday afternoon, Hawkins withstood a spirited effort from Thailand's Noppon Saengkham, who was featuring in the last four of a ranking tournament for the first time in his career, to prevail with a 6-4 scoreline.
Despite the cull of seeded players that occurred early in the week, the encounter to decide the outcome of the £70,000 winner's cheque will still involve a pair of top eight ranked competitors.
While Hawkins is searching for the fourth ranking success of his career, Higgins will be attempting to become only the third cueman to reach the number 30 milestone.
The Scot has admitted that the figure has played on his mind since claiming the Indian Open last summer and he is desperate to achieve the feat, which would simultaneously draw him nearer to countryman Stephen Hendry and old rival Ronnie O'Sullivan on the all-time champions list.
It's been an incredible campaign already from the "Class of 1992", with Higgins' sole ranking glory of this term falling short of O'Sullivan's four titles and the brace that Mark Williams has bagged.
The 42 year-old will undoubtedly start the final as the favourite and a total haul of eight trophies for the season from the trio, at this stage in their careers, would truly be astonishing.
Higgins also has another record in his sights as a victory would represent his fifth in the Welsh Open, more than any other player has amassed in the fourth longest running tournament on the calendar.
Hawkins, though, is unlikely to allow his opponent to have it all his own way and, after a mostly dismal season by his standards, has finally rediscovered the kind of form that saw him win last year's World Grand Prix.
The 38 year-old candidly admitted to hardships away from the table that have understandably led to distractions on it since reaching the semi-finals of the World Snooker Championship last April at the Crucible.
It's often too easy for onlookers and fans to forget that these players have private lives and personal problems just like anyone else, and that their form can be duly affected as a result.
Hawkins, who by claiming the top prize could force his way into the running for the 16 places available at the Players Championship later this month, may start this clash against Higgins as the underdog but he has demonstrated enough of an improvement in the last few days to suggest that the outcome can't be considered a foregone conclusion.
That said, the Englishman doesn't boast the greatest of head-to-head records with Higgins, having only beaten him twice in the past in meaningful affairs – both over shorter distances.
In fact, the duo's two clashes over any longer format, both in the World Championship, have ended in comfortable victories for Higgins.
For whatever reason, since the inception of the Home Nations in 2016, the finals have tended to be mostly dramatic with more than half so far requiring the full 17 frames to determine a champion.
Hopefully then, after what has so far been a pretty disappointing and dull Welsh Open, the title decider can go the distance and provide a dramatic conclusion at the Motorpoint Arena.
Live coverage continues on Eurosport and Quest TV.

Question: How often are domains single- versus multi-exon?
Hi! I am working on a project where the purpose is to answer the question in the title. How often are domains single or multi exon? Basically, is it more likely to find a protein domain in a single exon or will it be encoded by multiple exons? Within the project we have to look at the human genes and use Python. We also have to use BioMart to download data.
First, my approach is to download all human protein coding genes from BioMart and in the Attributes settings, use exon sequences and exon_start and exon_end to get the coordinates. Then download the same thing, but instead take the coding sequences and CDS_start and CDS_end coordinates. If the latter coordinates are within one exon's coordinates, then that CDS (i.e. that protein) should be a single-exon, right? And if the coordinates are split between several exon sequences, it is a multi-exon. By dividing the number of single and multi-exon sequences (saved in arrays using python) with the total, I will get the proportion of each. Is this even reasonable and can you actually use the coordinates in this way?
Second, to prove that this is significant or not significant, I have to perform a randomization experiment where I ignore a domain's actual position and just align it to the exon sequences to see if it, by random, is found in one exon or in several exons. How would you simulate protein domains? Since I can not use the actual domains because their positions are known, I assume I will have to create random sequences of random reasonable lengths to resemble average domains?
I think the programming is fairly OK, what is problematic is to get the correct data considering the coordinate systems. Looking at it on BioMart, it doesn't seem consistent and I'm not sure if I would be able to trust my results even if the program would work on a test-set.
Any feedback is helpful! Thank you!
You started talking about multi-exon domains but then you are only focussing on multi-exon genes, which is definitely not the same. Could you clarify? I'm a bit confused by your approach. Are you sure you know what a domain is?
My approach was to download all the known exon sequences from BioMart. Let's say exon 1 has coordinates in bp 20 - 400 (just as an example) and a domain sequence has coordinates 60-300, then we could say that domain sequence was found (or comes from) one exon, namely exon 1. If however, half of the sequence is found in exon 1, and half of the sequence in exon 2, then the domain would be multi-exon since it encoded for in several exons and not just one. Is this more clear? Therefor, I'd like to use the coordinates of the exons, and coordinates of the coding sequences (also available from BioMart) and compare them. Is for example the coordinates in bp of CDS sequence 1 within the coordinates span of one exon or several? and if within the CDS the specific sequence for the domain is known, one could see if that sequence is within one exon or partially found in several exons. Sorry I'm not sure if this makes sense, thank you for your help though!
I understand the part about finding the overlap between coordinates of exon and domains. But I think you are biologically incorrect when you use the CDS. This has nothing to do with the protein domains. The sum of the exons is the CDS, regardless of the domains.
Do you have a suggestion of what kind of data I could use instead? For example if I would download actual domain sequences from another database and align them to the exon sequences and see if they align within one exon or partially within several exons. This will be a lot more work though to actually align than just looking at given coordinates. However it seems like different databases uses different coordinates, and so the coordinates given for the protein domain sequences might not be the same as those given for the exons and therefore they can't be compared.

Marcus Hansen wins Air France Paddle Festival on Tahiti
Flat water and scorching heat
This 5th edition of the Tahiti Paddle Festival took place at Maeva Beach, with the Lagoon Race kicking off at 08:30 AM and the last race of the day starting at 03:15 PM.
This was the first event on the 2018 Paddle League World Tour Schedule, so even though the previous Tahiti Paddle Festivals have been a predominantly French affair, this year saw even more international athletes. And while the forecast predicted challenging weather at the beginning of the week, this gradually changed until one day before the race, officials were talking about ideal flat conditions. Little was said about the scorching heat that caused even some of the big names to abandon the race.
In the end, it was the stellar performance of Marcus Hansen and his NSP Sonic 14'0" x 23″ that blew the competition away. The New Zealander paddled inside the front-running pack consisting of the Tahitian locals and fellow NSP teamrider Titouan Puyo.
Michael Booth was leading most of the race, but Marcus broke free from his group towards the end, caught up with Michael and eventually gave it his all with a few hundred yards remaining, securing a well-deserved victory (full results below).
Note that this is a repetition of last year's competition, where another outsider (and NSP rider) named Yoann Cronsteadt snatched away the win from local Tahitian warriors.

Ranking #1 in the Paddle League World tour
With the Air France Paddle Festival in Tahiti officially kicking off the 2018 tour, and the Carolina Cup being the next event in the US, Marcus Hansen is now officially leading the rankings. Here's what the 25-year old had to say:
"I only arrived yesterday morning on Tahiti and didn't have time to train but I love Tahiti. I will leave tomorrow again, so it really was a short and successful trip. I'd like to thank the Polynesians for their hospitality as well!"

Q: How can I count up without using any loops? How can I go about counting up without using any of the iterative programming loops like while, for, do, for-each, etc?
Something like this:
void countUp(int start, int end){

}

A: You can count up using recursion. Search it if you don't know how it works out. So where end>start this is how it would work. There are a lot of things you can do with recursion. Notice my base case is when start==end then it stops counting.
public void countUp(int start, int end){
 if(start>=end){
   return;
 }
 System.out.println(start++);
 countUp(start,end);
}

A: something like this:
void countUp(int start, int end){
  if(start <= end)
    countUp(start+1, end);
}

Thus, you check if your start is less than end and recursively call the same function with new value of start (start+1)

A: Although I really, really do not know why are you going to do that...
    int count(int start, int end) {
        if (start == end) return start;
        return count(++start, end);
    }
This may cause a stack overflow if you recurse too deeply, namely if a range is too wide. for some reason the above code reminds me of c++ metaprogramming idioms.

USAF Vice Chief of Staff Gen. Stephen "Seve" Wilson addresses an AFA industry breakfast on Nov. 14 in Arlington, Va. AFA photo.
The Air Force's "The Force We Need" goal of reaching 386 squadrons, which was rolled out with much fanfare in September, is not necessarily a hard number based on exhaustive analysis, but a snapshot in time of requirements to meet the new National Defense Strategy, service Vice Chief of Staff Gen. Stephen "Seve" Wilson reported Wednesday. It does not, for example, account for "new operating concepts," and could change, Wilson said.
Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson, at AFA's Air, Space & Cyber Conference in September, said the 386 number, which overall represents about a 25 percent increase in USAF force structure, is a long-term goal of where the service thinks it needs to be by about 2030. It was meant to serve as a talking point with Congress to illustrate the gap between the forces demanded by the national strategy versus what the Air Force actually has, she said.
Gen. Wilson said USAF is "working on … operational concepts," which may allow the Air Force to "fight differently" and that these could affect the 386 figure. He didn't elaborate on what those concepts might be, but he said this is particularly applicable to the numbers of fighter squadrons. The Air Force told Congress last spring that it believes the NDS requires a force of 70 fighter squadrons versus the 55 it fields today, but the "Force We Need" charts specified fighter squadron growth to only 62 squadrons, or about half as many additional squadrons as USAF called for just a few months earlier.
"We will continue to refine all our numbers across all our major platforms and weapon systems," Gen. Wilson asserted Wednesday. The 386 figure is a "strategy-driven force" and "the best number we have" at the moment. He also noted that achieving anything like the 386 squadrons level is "not going to happen in one to five years," suggesting further "refinements" are likely inevitable.
The Air Force has been focused on getting "204 'pacing squadrons'" to an adequate level of readiness, Wilson said, adding that this "blunt force" is the core of USAF's combat power. Meanwhile, "The Secretary of Defense has asked us to get the readiness of the F-16, the F-22, and the F-35 above 80 percent by the end of this year." The service is focused on sustainment and maintenance efforts "to do exactly that." He noted that by Dec. 1, the service will have "closed the gap" of 4,000 maintainers to "zero." The "key to the plan" is to "get the money in place" for parts, maintenance, and "the sorties we need" to achieve the goal, he said. "That's what we're working on today. … We'll have to shift resources from other areas to get to that," but he declined to say what areas will be reduced to find the money. Though the three named aircraft are the top priority for now, Wilson said the getting the 204 pacing squadrons up to snuff is the next priority.
The National Defense Strategy recognized the "change in the world order," said Wilson. The US military was probably too focused in the post-Cold War era and on "violent extremists," he added, saying it failed to properly acknowledge the rise of great power competition. The NDS flips that approach to focus on the big threats, he said.
USAF is working to take advantage of flexibility provided by Congress to speed up its acquisition process, which Wilson said has been "too hard, too complex, too bureaucratic, too regulated, too risk averse, too stovepiped, too analog for a digital world." New USAF leaders are working to take unnecessary steps out of the acquisition process, he said, and so far have taken "62 years'" worth of time out of major programs, toward a goal of taking out 100 years of unnecessary program time. He also noted that the Air Force has saved "$13 billion … with a 'B'... out of the last three programs" that were contracted in the end of the fiscal year: the T-X trainer, UH-1N replacement helicopter, and GPS satellite contract. He also noted that the Pentagon has "delegated back to the Air Force" management of all the programs that had been taken from its purview for perceived problems.

Its details are inspired by southern Chinese-style temple architecture.
Built between 1908 and 1913, the Hong San See temple was established by the Hokkien community in Singapore. Its name means "Temple on Phoenix Hill" in Chinese, and it is dedicated to Guang Ze Zun Wang, the God of Fortune.
Superbly restored
Photo by Choo Yut Shing via Foter.com
Now surrounded by modern, high-rise buildings, this temple once overlooked the sea. Its beautifully preserved form—a perfect example of southern Chinese-style temple architecture—makes this a worthwhile visit.
The axial planning, courtyards, walled enclosures and beam-frame structure are all traditional features of this style. This last detail in particular shows exceptional carpentry, with a roof built entirely without nails.
Dancing dragons and phoenixes
Other highlights include the granite columns, exquisitely carved with dragons, peonies, magpies and phoenixes.
You'll also notice chien nien (the Chinese art of creating figures from porcelain) ornamentation and elaborate plaster relief work on the eaves and roof, in particular, the two dragons prancing with a pearl.
The Hong San See temple was gazetted as a national monument in 1978. Today, it is in immaculate condition due to an extensive renovation from 2006 to 2010, with technical consultants and craftsmen brought in from China to undertake the restoration.
As a result, the temple was the first Singapore building to win an Award of Excellence in the 2010 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation.

Besides its patron deity, Hong San See Temple also has altars to Cheng Huang—the god of cities—and Guan Yin, a bodhisattva of mercy.

Herman Jones Series Has Potential, Delivery Falls
Stacy Cox
Herman Jones: Promising Concept With Mediocre Special Effects, Performances
Herman Jones Series Review Details
Creator(s): Dave R. Watkins, Nate Hill
Season: One
Episodes: 1-9
Air Date: May 1, 2018
Running Time: Varies
A quiet man named Herman Jones struggles to keep his violent impulses and weird hallucinations under control, But when a strange cult starts trying to recruit him, it sets off a deadly chain of events.
IMDb.com.
Herman Jones premiered on May 1st, 2018, as a mini web Horror series. Created and directed by Dave R.Watkins. Co-Written by Nate Hill.
Joshua Haire……Herman Jones
Amber Erwin……Jennifer Jones
Dave R. Watkins……Mr. Murk
Krissy Notes……Christy
Patrick Lemon……Elias Watson
J.R. Francis……Rick
Muretta Moss……Jill Jones
Herman Jones is an off character. He suffers from hallucinations; they bring that on by strange characters that are dark personalities. This appears to be a mental disorder that has passed on to him from his mother, Jill, who also suffered from alcohol abuse. He takes a strange interest in a television program called The Children of the New Dawn. The characters on the show are a weird group of intellectuals that resemble a religious cult.
As the series progress, we get a detailed backstory on Herman's condition, which has developed since his adolescent years. Now an adult, he has become the interest of a neighborhood friend who tries to pursue him despite his standoffish demeanor. Advocates for The Children of the New Dawn pursue him by visiting his house and leaving him pamphlets hoping that he will consider their invitation.
Misfortunes that happen around him, both in his home and at his job, is no help to Herman, who is struggling to maintain his sanity through his medication and his calming techniques. Every obstacle brings about his traumatic childhood memories he has a hard time coping with. His sister, Jennifer, is his only outlet to keeping his sanity intact, however, that leans further away from the case. As the story progresses, Jennifer reveals a deep secret of their family's history. This makes the story take a dark and confusing turn, as everything Herman once knew, becomes trivial.
He is at a battle between his dark personalities that taunt him to unleash them, and The Children of the New Dawn, who are pursuing him to join them. As the series progresses, it pushes Herman to insanity.
Herman Jones has a lot of potentials. The concept promising and refreshing. Yet, the deliverance falls through the cracks in a few areas. The two most notable and important areas are the special effects and the cast performances. Special effects, in the simplest terms, are mediocre, and the cast performances are not intimidating in the least.
The violence scenes are minimal as most of them shown to an extent. This is a good idea because it gives the story heightened mystery and suspense. By the same token, the aftermath of the supposed violence that took place followed by a deluded scene that lacks the visual effects to stimulate the mind.
The cast performances are low on the grade scale. This area is a huge turnoff to how the viewer will perceive this series. Even more-so than the cheesy special effects. The audience cannot connect with the on-screen characters with less than decent performances. This, in turn, influences the deliverance of the story overall.

Who among us hasn't chosen the path of least resistance when we're drained? Balancing competing demands is a theme of 21st century life, complicated further by the exhausting demands of the Silicon Valley lifestyle. "Helping" our children with their work may not only relieve the pressure of conflicts around homework, but anxieties we have about the many elements of our children's growth touted as imperatives by the media, parenting experts, and contemporary child-rearing literature. We know it's important for our kids to do well in school, but—as we're told--they must also sleep, exercise, socialize, problem-solve, innovate, lead, and the list goes on….
Silicon Valley parents find themselves in a culture that prizes Ivy League admissions and a narrow vision of success. Some push their children to achieve, achieve, achieve, at the cost of physical, mental, and spiritual health. Even the most grounded parents express sadness and frustration at a kind of peer pressure where conversations of children's achievement can devolve into dialogues of one-up-manship. Parents may start "supporting" their children in ways that do not serve the child, figuring that's what everyone else is doing, so why not?
Despite best intentions, parents who become overly involved in their children's education risk stealing their autonomy, confidence, and agency. Intense parental involvement has been linked to stress, depression and dissatisfaction, not only for children but also for their mothers and fathers.
It's hard to see kids struggle. We have natural impulses to shield or save them from what we fear they cannot handle. There are times when parents must step in; when our children's safety is called into question, when their health or mental health suffer, when they find themselves in danger or cannot find a way out of suffering, we must intervene. But too many of us are tossing a life raft to our children when they don't need rescuing. They simply need to learn how to swim. One of the most effective tools we can give our kids is lessons in self-advocacy.
The term "self-advocacy" emerged in the late 1960s, when people with disabilities and their supporters began collectively speaking out to fight for their rights as citizens and human beings. They raised their voices, identifying and asserting their needs in powerful ways that had been ignored for too long.
Self-advocacy is a person's ability to effectively communicate, negotiate, or assert his/her interests, wishes, needs, and rights. It starts with self-awareness. Students who know themselves know their strengths and challenges.
Why self-advocate? Learning what they need in order to be successful (and asking for it) helps students throughout their academic journeys and beyond. Teachers are not mind-readers, and sometimes students' needs are overlooked, because the teacher doesn't know that a problem even exists. When teachers see that a student is caring, motivated, and willing to ask for assistance, they're generally eager to help.
Self-advocacy is also useful in relationships. Children can gain insight about what they bring to others (contribute) in relationships and what they need from others, for healthy bonds. By articulating their needs and becoming aware of the needs of others, they can develop into healthy adults with healthy relationships. Finally, self-advocacy matters in the workplace. Can a person be successful if he doesn't have the tools to do his job? Can someone grow in a company if she doesn't have the voice to assert herself, ask for a salary increase, negotiate for better working conditions?
Here's one of our favorite new resources to share. Have you heard of pediatric psychologist Dr. Lynne Kelley? She helps professionals and parents improve children's thinking, self-regulation, behavior and learning. Dr. Kelley has wonderful articles and resources for Executive Functioning (EF) building, based on teaching kids about their brains and how they work, plus strategies to developing their EF capacities. Her activities emphasize, music, rhythm, movement, creativity, communication, exercise and nutrition. Teaching kids about how their brain works and what to do to activate the parts of their brain that are needed for new demands and functions is essential to empowering their growth and development.

The above Observer cartoon appeared on 28th March 2020, with the comment, "This pandemic has thrown our world into confusion. We need a new beginning."
Yes, indeed! However, because of the way that the Universe is designed—building on tradition and the evolutionary past in an accumulative fashion—almost no one is yet ready to let it all go and start afresh at the very beginning, awakening to Total Revolution.
For by doing so, the seven pillars of unwisdom that underlie Western civilization become transformed into the seven pillars of wisdom underlying the eschatological Age of Light. Such a radical transformation of consciousness and awakening of intelligence is quite possible, as I know from my own experience.
Sadly, however, it seems that people's cultural and personal conditioning is so deeply engrained in the psyche that it is virtually impossible to break free of restrictive social structures without a gigantic apocalyptic awakening, revealing the fundamental law of the Universe, which John of Patmos expressed in these words in the book of Revelation: "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last."
Such an awakening would be truly wonderful, for we would then realize the Utopian vision that Love is the Divine Essence we all share, enabling us to live in peace and harmony in community with each other for our last few remaining years on Earth. For community is cognate with Sanskrit maitreya 'friendly, benevolent', from Latin commūnis, originally in sense 'sharing burdens'.

Bridgeport recorded the second-highest storm surge during Storm Sandy last October, nearly 10 feet above normal high tide, the National Hurricane Center said in a report Tuesday.
The highest surge — 12.6 feet above normal high tide — was recorded off Kings Point on Long Island.
Several other locations in the New York area had tides more than 9 feet above normal. Bridgeport recorded a storm surge of 9.8 feet. New Haven's was 9.4 feet.
The 157-page report from the hurricane center, heavy with technical information, called Sandy an "extraordinarily large hurricane" that is expected to rank as the second-costliest cyclone on record, after Hurricane Katrina of 2005.
More than 8.5 million people from the Caribbean to New England lost power. Of 147 people killed, 72 were in the United States. The report said Connecticut had five Sandy-related deaths, although Connecticut officials have said there were six.
The report said the storm damaged more than 3,000 homes along the Connecticut shoreline. A total of 12,306 people from Connecticut have already registered for assistance from Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The last day to register for FEMA aid is today, Feb. 12. Connecticut officials estimate Sandy did more than $360 million in damage to the state's shoreline.
One of the hardest hit towns was Fairfield, and First Selectman Michael C. Tetreau said Tuesday he wasn't surprised to hear about the high storm surges in the area.
"People who have lived here for 30 or 40 years said they had never seen anything like it," Tetreau said. "This was the worst flooding here since the 1938 hurricane."
Tetreau said he "hopes that most people from Fairfield have already registered" for FEMA aid.
Besides the storm surge Long Island and Fairfield County also registered among the highest sustained winds. The strongest wind gust of 83 knots was registered in Eaton's Neck on Long Island. The highest sustained hurricane winds were over Great Gull Island in between Long Island and Fisher's Island, the report said.
Tetreau said that Fairfield lost more than 2,000 trees during the storm, at least six homes were completely washed away and dozens more destroyed. More than 1,000 homes were inspected and about 700 had enough damage to their electrical systems that the town wouldn't turn the power back on to those homes without a permit from an electrician.
As residents grapple with rebuilding their shorefront properties, town officials are preparing for the next flood.
"We have learned a lot about how to improve our shoreline to protect against flooding that could be even worse than this one," Tetreau said.
Sandy started developing off the west coast of Africa on Oct. 11 but didn't become a full-fledged tropical storm until Oct. 21 as it approached Jamaica, the report said.
It became a hurricane on Oct. 24 as it hit Jamaica and then Cuba before turning toward the Northeast. It reintensified as a hurricane off of Atlantic City before making landfall near Brigantine, N.J. causing "catastrophic damage along the New Jersey coast unprecedented in the state's history, with the brunt of it occurring in Monmouth and Ocean counties."

Collection: Mindfulness-Based Interventions For Stress And Anxiety
Abstract: INTRODUCTION:Depression and anxiety disorders are highly prevalent among primary care patients. Group visits provide a way of delivering interventions to multiple patients at the same time. Group visits for depression and anxiety present an opportunity to expand the reach of behavioral health services for primary care patients. The goal of the current study was to evaluate the implementation of an acceptance and mindfulness-based group for primary care patients with depression and anxiety. METHODS: Adult family medicine patients with Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and/or Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 (GAD-7) scores > 5 were eligible for the group. The group was held biweekly in the family medicine practice with rolling enrollment. The PHQ-9 and GAD-7 were administered at every visit, and changes in depression and anxiety symptoms were analyzed using multilevel modeling. We evaluated feasibility, acceptability/satisfaction, penetration, and sustainability. RESULTS: Over the course of 19 months, 50 patients were referred to the group, and 29 enrolled. The median number of visits attended was four among those who attended more than one group visit. Results revealed that depression and anxiety symptoms decreased significantly over the first four visits attended (d = -.26 and -.19, respectively). Patients who attended more than one group reported high satisfaction. The group was sustainable after the research funding ended; however, penetration was low. DISCUSSION: A rolling enrollment group for patients with depression and anxiety that utilized mindfulness- and acceptance-based treatment principles is feasible to implement in a primary care setting but is not without challenges. Recommendations for ways to enhance implementation and future research are provided.

It's been said that the gift of sight apart from the gift of vision is no gift at all. In the midst of the rigors of our day-to- day lives, it's so easy to get caught up with what's right in front of us that we lose vision for a better future.
We hope you'll join us to celebrate, listen, learn, discover, pray, and surrender it all to God together.

Today's OSNT features the last part of the "Hoopin' and Sneakers" video interview series… I know it was long, but I really wanted to emphasize that there's importance in knowing what you're wearing… Whether you like shoes for their technical aspects, history, etc., all self-titled 'sneaker enthusiasts' should have a basic knowledge of what they're enthused about, right?! haha. Anyhow, I've been noticing a plethora of new running sneaker consumers bandwagoning the market lately… Just a few words: As long as you grow genuine, I won't be upset at you making my chances harder at getting releases I want. lol. Besides all the good runners dropping, I feel JB is starting to mellow out a bit due to their willingness to over-saturate a ridiculously stretched market. Are we soon approaching the end of a full circle? SB love slowly reviving? …We shall see!
P.S. – To the very few of you who repeatedly stumble upon these OSNT posts for a midweek kick, I'd love to hear all your ideas / criticism / thoughts, or even see cool photos pertaining to sneakers… OSNT has been a fun and interesting learning experience thus far and I will never shy away from growing its enjoyability for all of you… jared@fittedhawaii.com Cheers!

Above is a RMW pump repair video from AR North America, the manufacturers of the pump. They do a good job (as they should!) describing the repair of their pumps. But I have gone thru it and added (what I think are) helpful notes. I hope this helps you somewhat.
First note, this video shows how to repair a number of different issues – valves, water seals, unloader, chemical injector, and EZ start valve. Not all of these repairs need to be made at the same time! You pump may only have one issue that needs to be addressed.
If you need to figure out what is wrong with your pump, give us a call!
(0:25) – Discharge valves – you don't need those fancy power tools, a regular old socket wrench works just fine!
(0:35) – Discharge valves – They are using reverse pliers to remove the valves (and they do help) but you can use needle nose pliers. Note: the valves may come apart when you take them out. That's OK, they can get put back together.
(1:21) – Water seals – Chances are good that some of the black water seals will stay on the pistons. Note: the hard, white plastic rings are bushings; these only need to be replaced if they are damaged – usually melted due to overheating of the pump.
(1:36) – Water seals – They use a pick to remove the seals, you can use a finger or a flat head screwdriver.
(1:58) – Inlet valves – Secure the valves by gently, yet firmly, pushing them down with something, anything that won't damage the valve. It should almost 'pop' into place.
(2:25) – Water seals – The flat side of the seals should be facing toward you.
(4:55) – Chemical Injector – When you remove the hose barb, be very careful! The ball and spring inside have a tendency to fall out and disappear.
So, from the post Pump Repair: Primary Diagnosis you have determined that you have a partial loss of pressure in your pressure washer. This means the pump is basically working, just losing some pressure somewhere. So we need to find it.
1.) Is there a leak in the pump?
Look for drips or sprays.
Check the pump oil, is water getting in there?
If you find one of these, a water seal is most likely damaged. Check the location of the leak and compare to the parts breakdown diagram of your pump.
2.) If you don't find a leak, the valves are the most likely culprit. Check the parts breakdown for getting access to your valves. Then examine them. Basically, valves have only a few parts: a base, a cage over the top of the base, a spring, and a popit that closes the hole in the base. Examine looking for breaks or debris.
That's about it for partial pressure loss. There may be some other issues you find, but these are the main culprits that cause the vast majority of pressure issues.
Need help? Give us a call at 877-520-3698.

Water to Flow in Dupont Circle, Meridian Hill Park Fountains Soon
by Tim Regan May 4, 2016 at 3:55 pm 0
As hot summer weather approaches, many locals wonder: when will the fountains be turned on?
Now we have an answer, at least for two of the more notable fountains in our neck of the woods. Dupont Circle park's fountain could come to life as early as next week, while Meridian Hill Park's waterworks may take a little while longer, according to officials with the National Park Service.
Water will again flow from the fountain in Dupont Circle park next week, barring any major problems, said NPS public affairs specialist Mike Litterst.
"The fountains will come on next week, knock on wood," Litterst said. "As long as there are no issues with the de-winterization process."
But Meridian Hill Park's multi-tiered waterways are a different story, said Peter Butkus, who works in the NPS office in Rock Creek Park. Butkus said it will likely take workers two weeks to a month to repair a broken pump motor in Meridian Hill Park's sloped basin.
"It's a special pump motor built for that park," Butkus explained. "The motor is at a repair facility at the moment."

Family Owned * Family Operated * Family Values!
After many successful years as a Leon County Deputy Sheriff, Ron Colson left the Sheriff's Department seeking to serve in a political office. Having earned a reputation for an exceptional ability to locate and contact individuals for the service of subpoenas, summonses and criminal warrants, it wasn't long before he was contacted by law firms that knew of his abilities and success. This quickly led to the beginning of a private investigation and process service business. Seeing that the time needed for one interfered with the other, the business soon focused strictly on the service of process. This all began way back in 1986.
In the beginning, authorization to serve process was controlled completely by the county Sheriffs. In time, the industry grew and as more and more firms learned of the benefit of using the services of professional process servers, judges found that a better and more organized system of certification was needed. This led to the successful support for legislation to create the Certified (Circuit) Process Servers program. While it was not established in all Florida circuits, the 2nd Judicial Circuit of Florida was quick to create its program, and (recognized as the regional industry leader for knowledge, experience and integrity) Ron Colson was appointed by the Chief Judge to serve as Chairman of the new 2nd Judicial Circuit Process Servers Review Board. This board established a program for the training, testing and disciplinary reviews of professional process servers in Leon, Gadsden, Jefferson, Wakulla, Liberty and Franklin counties.
Though planning for only a one-man operation, dependable quality and service inevitably leads to a successful business. Our operation was no different. Having made use of the latest technology, and provided the very best in service, Ron soon found it necessary to bring in his wife, Karen, to handle the administrative tasks and to serve process among the professional and state offices around Tallahassee. Karen's accounting and organizational skills greatly enhanced the company's ability to accomplish more services in less time and to enable immediate communications with our clients so that, in addition to the fastest available service of process, the clients of Capital Area Process Service don't have to wait days and weeks to learn if their process was served. Most have come to expect their process to be served within 24 hours.
We also provide immediate service in filing your corporate documents with the Florida Secretary of State, Division of Corporations. When you overnight your filings for early morning delivery, we file your documents promptly and upon completion by the Division of Corporations, copies of the filing are faxed or sent to you electronically. Additionally, we can assist you in obtaining Apostilles for your notarized documents. Quite often, a call to Karen can ensure that you don't waste time and money sending something that the Secretary will not issue an Apostille for.
As our sons completed school, each came aboard and learned the business along with a good work ethic. Ron II was first, later deciding to serve in the US Marine Corps. Today, he has a family of his own, in Oklahoma, and is working for a major international computer company. Chris, now 41, has a wife and four children, and he has been serving process with the company since high school.
Capital Area Process Service, Inc. has seen other process servers and agencies come and go. Many have thought it to be a way for an easy dollar, only to find out that the benchmark was set too high for them. Often, they help us by demonstrating the superiority of our service. For this, we say "Thanks!" We have served the many businesses, professions and institutions that depend on fast and proper process service for the past 30 years. Throughout this time, we've provided an unparalleled level of service. If you're a current client, we offer our sincere thanks! If not, please give us the opportunity to demonstrate what has kept others relying on our service as we are now about to enter our 4th decade of service.

Terrell Smullen-Parsons of Salisbury, Maryland has pleaded guilty and been sentenced in two Wicomico cases against him involving drug charges.
A Salisbury man caught with cocaine and a handgun after failing to appear in court in another case pleaded guilty recently and was sentenced in a Wicomico County court.
Prosecutors say 21-year-old Terrell Smullen-Parsons had narcotics on him when he attempted to flee from deputies in connection with a December 2016 Wicomico County Sheriff's Office investigation. However, he failed to appear in court in late 2017 for that incident and a bench warrant was subsequently issued for his arrest.
A deputy spotted Smullen-Parsons in April in the 1000 block of Fairground Drive where, according to the Wicomico County State's Attorney's Office, he gave a false name and address.
The deputy was still able to verify Smullen-Parsons' identity and tried to arrest him on the bench warrant, prosecutors said. The 21-year-old fled once again, but was ultimately taken into custody.
Deputies then searched his vehicle, the state's attorney's office said, and seized cocaine, a handgun and a large amount of cash.
Smullen-Parsons pleaded guilty in May to possession with intent to distribute, unauthorized removal of property and attempt by driver to elude police in connection with the initial case against him. Prosecutors say he was sentenced to 10 years with all but five suspended and will serve two years supervised probation in that case.
He also pleaded guilty Oct. 18 to possession with intent to distribute cocaine, possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and resisting arrest in connection with the April 2018 incident.
He was given a 28-year sentence sentence in that case, including 10 years of active incarceration followed by three years of supervised probation after his release, according to prosecutors. The judge also ordered that $967 be forfeited to the sheriff's office. His sentences will run consecutively.

Aim. The aim of the research is to discuss how to design entrepreneurial mindsets in undergraduate students within the academic culture of a classical university..
Methods. In order to become aware of the international perspective regarding entrepreneurship education, global innovation index, entrepreneurship education delivery models, global forums and entrepreneurship community platforms as well as the entrepreneurship barometer were taken into consideration.
Results. A survey regarding the appropriateness of entrepreneurship education at IFNUL has been conducted. In total, 125 bachelor's (55.2%) and master's degree (44,8%) students from different Departments of IFNUL completed the questionnaire based on the Entrepreneurship Barometer. Thus, theverage rating (1 (low) – 5 (high)) of the likelihood that students will ever run their own business is 3.67. Based on the obtained results the course in Entrepreneurship and Innovation has been elaborated as a part of the curriculum for students of the Department of Pedagogical Education at IFNUL.
Conclusions. Findings of this paper suggest that, in general, universities should promote entrepreneurship as a career option and provide entrepreneurship experiences to undergraduate and Master's degree students. The change in the academic culture is the common challenge, which includes the introduction of entrepreneurial thinking and acting as alternatives to traditional teaching approaches and opening up the universities to the surrounding society and industrial ecosystem. The use of ICT and in particular eLearning in delivering entrepreneurial education might be an additional option for expanding the outreach of the course.
Key words: entrepreneurial mindset, entrepreneurial learning, entrepreneurship program, entrepreneurship and innovation, undergraduate students.

Carlo Steeb, ofwel Johannes Heinrich Karl Steeb (Tübingen, 18 december 1773 – Verona, 15 december 1856) was een Duits katholiek geestelijke, die in Verona werkzaam was. Hij is de stichter van de congregatie van "Zusters van Barmhartigheid van Verona" en werd in 1975 door paus Paulus VI zalig verklaard.

Leven
Steeb groeide op als zoon van Johann Heinrich Steeb, een gegoede wolhandelaar en tevens waard van de herberg "Zum Lamm", in het piëtistische gekleurde Tübingen (stad). Om talen te leren en ervaring op te doen in de internationale handel stuurde zijn vader hem in 1789 naar Parijs en 1792 naar Verona. Daar voelde hij zich zodanig aangetrokken door het geestelijk leven, dat hij zich in september 1792 bekeerde tot het rooms-katholicisme. Na zijn bekering studeerde hij katholieke theologie. Hij nam de geïtalianiseerde voornaam "Carlo" aan. In 1796 werd Steeb in Verona tot priester gewijd. Zijn streng evangelische familie brak met hem. Na de dood van zijn zuster, Wilhelmine, erfde hij veel later echter toch het familievermogen.

In Verona gaf hij les aan het seminarie, was hij priester in een arme wijk en had speciale aandacht voor zieken en gevangen. Tijdens de napoleontische oorlogen, gedurende welke Frankrijk en Oostenrijk elkaar vaak in Noord-Italië bevochtten, was Verona afwisselende in Franse en Habsburgse handen. In deze periode werkte hij over een periode van achttien jaar meerdere keren in lazaretten, onder andere bij de anti-Franse opstand van 1797 in Verona (toen nog een deel van de Venetiaanse staat) en later bij de slagen van Bassano, Arcole en Rivoli. Bij alle soldaten had hij een reputatie van een bijzonder verstandige man te zijn; een biechtvader, geestelijk verzorger, raadgever en vertaler tussen Italiaans, Duits en Frans. Steeb bekommerde zich om weeshuizen en onderwees kinderen en jeugdigen op verschillende scholen. Hij werd leider van de in 1796 door de zalige Pietro Leonardi gestichte evangelische broederschap van priesters en leken (Italiaans:Evangelica fratellanza dei preti e laici spedalieri). Van deze broederschap waren zowel mannen als vrouwen lid.

Toen hij buiktyfus kreeg had hij zijn testament al opgemaakt, maar zijn geestelijk raadsman zou hem hebben voorspeld, dat God nog meer met hem voorhad - wat Steeb als teken opvatte, zijn weldadige werken verder uit te bouwen en meer op duurzame basis te organiseren. In 1840 stichtte hij samen met zuster Vincenza Poloni (burgerlijke naam: Luigia Poloni), wier biechtvader hij was, de "Congregatie van zusters van barmhartigheid van Verona" (Italiaans: Istituto Sorelle della Misericordia di Verona) ter ondersteuning zijn charitatieve werken. De in de volksmond ook als "Veronese zusters" bekendstaande congregatie groeide al spoedig ook buiten Verona. Op dit moment telt de congregatie ongeveer 1200 zusters in Europa, Latijns-Amerika en Afrika, die vooral op sociaal gebied werkzaam zijn.

In 1856 stierf Carlo Steeb op een leeftijd van 83 jaar – op dat moment meenden velen dat hij als de "Samaritaan van Verona" het leven van een heilige had geleefd. Hij maakte de inwijding van de nieuwe kerk voor zijn congregatie nog mee. In deze kerk ligt hij ook begraven.

Nalatenschap
Carlo Steeb werd op 6 juli 1975 door paus Paulus VI zalig verklaard. Zijn gedenkdag is 15 december. Vele instellingen van zijn congregatie zijn naar hem genoemd. Ook dragen twee kerken, in Verona en in Stuttgart, zijn naam.

As part of the 2014 Farm Bill, the Wetlands Reserve Program, Grasslands Reserve Program, and Farm and Ranch Land Protection Program were consolidated into the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program. Learn more about the new Agricultural Conservation Easement Program here.
The Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) is a voluntary program offering landowners the opportunity to protect, restore, and enhance wetlands on their property.
The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) provides technical and financial support to help landowners with their wetland restoration efforts.
This program offers landowners an opportunity to establish long-term conservation and wildlife practices and protection.
The goal of NRCS is to achieve the greatest wetland functions and values, along with optimum wildlife habitat, on every acre enrolled in the program.
Lands established to trees through the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) are ineligible for WRP enrollment.
NRCS is committed to delivering all Farm Bill programs authorized through the 2008 Farm Bill and is eager to discuss with all interested parties about the many benefits that the WRP may offer.
Permanent Easement: A conservation easement in perpetuity. USDA pays 100 percent of the easement value and up to 100 percent of the restoration costs.
30-Year Easement: An easement that expires after 30 years. USDA pays up to 75 percent of the easement value and up to 75 percent of the restoration costs.
Restoration Cost-Share Agreement: An agreement to restore or enhance the wetland functions and values without placing an easement on the enrolled acres. USDA pays up to 75 percent of the restoration costs.
30-Year Contract: A 30-year contract option is only available on tribal lands. USDA pays up to 75 percent of the restoration costs.
Under the easement options the USDA will pay all costs associated with recording the easement in the local land records office, including recording fees, charges for abstracts, survey and appraisal fees, and title insurance. Under the voluntary easement the landowner retains the rights to: (1) control of access, (2) title and right to convey title, (3) quiet enjoyment, (4) undeveloped recreational uses, (5) subsurface resources, and (6) water rights.
If you are interested in applying for WRP, please review the documents listed below as they will need to be completed when you apply.
After applications are filed, NRCS makes a land and landowner eligibility determination. A site visit is made to collect data associated with the ranking process, prepare a preliminary restoration plan, complete National Environmental Policy Act requirements, and evaluate the site and surrounding area for the presence of hazardous materials. Funding decisions are made at the State level and are generally based on total point score. State conservationists have the authority to enroll projects outside of the ranking process if the State conservationist as a special project area has designated the area. Special project priority may be provided to a particular geographic area or to a specific project even though the individual offer might not otherwise rank high enough to be accepted. This policy provides NRCS the opportunity to begin a WRP initiative in an area that has been determined important for wetland restoration activities, regardless of individual site ranking. The National office is not involved in the selection of projects, except if funding is needed to enroll a special project.


You are here:HomeWhat are main issues in building a house?
Every people must be aware of the fact that perhaps someday they should consider raising their own building. House is always wanted but sometimes hard to reach. When the time comes and people finally have it, a lot of doubts coming out, including: How to make it? What are steps in the process included? How to find savings for such undertaking?
The first matter worth to consider before building house is save some funds. Basically, there are two solutions: get a credit or make it all by yourself, maybe with little support of your loved ones.
It's well-known fact that much easier to make an instant cash injection by taking credit in bank, but you must be aware of necessity to return money with interests and have to pay an installment regularly.
After collecting some cash, it's time to make a project. For making this you have to employ some highly recommended architect. A specialist is able to help you with bringing your vision into life, on paper, as a result of his experience and education.
Next thing is erecting building. The entire process of building a house takes about few months and, when it's a really hard workings going on, maybe a year or two. It is very important to build a house while using the latest technologies.
For instance, it's very necessary to provide some well done insulation of external walls.
Building a house is hard but precious. Your effort is hard but worth the price. And your prize would be amazing space for entire lifetime.


These straps are meant to be customized and added to existing bags. They come in embellished patterns and exotic materials like python – the straps can even be monogrammed and personalized to your hardware preferences. They seem to be more decorative instead of functional/length adding.
These straps will retail for around $1,000 USD.
Share your thoughts on this latest Fendi accessory in the comments below – YAY OR NAY?
100% YAY!!!! Loved these strap you straps even more than bag charms!!! I think they are the perfect to bring freshness to bags!!! Only thing I didn't like at all is the price ?!!! But the idea is genius!!!
I think in person they might be lovely – I like that the straps are two-sided and come in such a variety although I think the price point for just the plain leather ones is way too steep. Wonder if people will mix them up and use them with other brands bags?!
I think it's a great idea. It seems like the price is a little steep though.
I think it is such a great idea ? now they are on my wishlist ?
I really love the concept of customizable shoulder straps. Hopefully the straps look better in person.. from the photos they look too thick and cheap.
