"We are a generation freeing ourselves from certain constraints and obligations"
Their generation has the reputation of being apolitical and materialistic. This is entirely undeserved according to three Millennials from Germany, France and Switzerland. They are heavily involved in politics and society, both in their career and leisure time. Why do they play a role in society? What do they want to achieve? How do they mobilise their generation? You can find out through this interview series. Second up is Agnès Hubert from France.
1. Why did you choose to work in your particular field?
Working in the voluntary sector or, to be more specific, health and research was very much a deliberate career path. Having spent a number of years in the financial sector, I decided to devote my energies to a greater cause, to the benefit of society. It wasn't an easy move to make as the labour market in France is highly partitioned. Fortunately, some recruiters are more open and know how to exploit the opportunity to recruit more atypical profiles who also have relevant skills to offer.
2. Your generation is often seen as being apolitical and materialistic. What does it take to mobilise this generation?
I don't share the view that we are materialistic and apolitical. I think as a generation we have just chosen to free ourselves from certain constraints and obligations. We need to form an idea of how things are before deciding to make a commitment. As a result, political choices are made later for some and, I believe, are not associated with the need for financial security. We are a generation who need to understand and see the meaning of things. That is reflected in our attitude to work, financial security and social relationships, which is different from that of preceding generations. We need explanations, demonstrations and evidence to see something is worth mobilising for...
3. What are the three main problems facing the young in your country?
The current economic and political context, which offers an uncertain future to great swathes of our society. Corporate faith in the young and employing young people is still a social issue in France. Let's change this perception: young people are not a risk for the corporate world but an opportunity.
We are a generation who need to understand and see the meaning of things.
Agnès Hubert Head of donor relationships and public relations at Institut Curie in Paris
4. And what are the three biggest opportunities?
Dynamism of innovation and new technologies as a source of new jobs, new services and new organisations. Openness and international mobility.
5. Have you already thought about your retirement provision?
I overlooked my retirement provision for a long time. However, given the economic situation in France, I have organised some solutions now, such as dedicated saving and insurance, to compensate for a low retirement pension, assuming it exists at all. I think that, unfortunately, the French retirement system is no longer compatible with our age pyramid and growing longevity.
6. How long do you think your generation will have to work?
The current system gives a retirement age of 67, but I fear that my generation will have to work longer than that and subsequently draw a meagre retirement pension. In France, we don't really have a funded pension scheme culture -- but that is bound to change.
7. What two or three things do you want to accomplish in the next two or three years?
In the near future, I would like to stage a play that I'm currently writing. I am passionate about this art form and I share my time among my working life, the theatre and my family. I also want to create a major solidarity movement against cancer with Institut Curie. We live in an age of discovery and advances against cancer. With the support of the public, we can make more progress in research and patient care.
Agnès Hubert
Head of donor relationships and public relations at Institut Curie in Paris
Agnès Hubert (39) has been in charge of PR and donor relations at Institut Curie since 2016. Following ten years working in finance, she changed career direction in 2010, initially going to La Manu, an association connecting students with companies, before joining Institut Curie one year later. Institut Curie is one of the world's leading cancer research centres and has its own hospital. Agnès Hubert lives with her family in Paris.

Home insurance is an expensive purchase for many Americans. This guide provides information on how to make decisions that can lower the cost of your home insurance and increase the value you receive.
Although home insurance is not required by law in most states, if your home is mortgaged, your lender may require the purchase of insurance on your home.
To get the best value for your money, you must take responsibility for your home insurance purchase and make your own decisions.
The coverages offered to homeowners are typically contained in a package of liability and property coverages. The Consumer Guide principally addresses the package of coverages found in a "homeowners" policy. It does not address the more limited offerings of fire and extended coverages.

Comic Book Resources and JK Parkin 10.13.13 6 years ago
(CBR) Next spring, the fate of Spider-Man's reputation is in your hands. Marvel and Activision announced today "The Amazing Spider-Man 2," a follow-up to the 2012 video game of the same name and a tie-in to next year's "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" film from Sony Pictures.
Like the first game, this one will offer a story inspired by the feature film but set in its own continuity, as well as "a free-roaming web-slinging experience" through New York City. It promises a bigger emphasis on Peter Parker, new friends, old foes and a new "Hero or Menace" system, which rewards players for fighting crime and penalizes them for "letting criminality fester." The game is being developed by Beenox, who developed the first game, as well as "Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions" and "Spider-Man: Edge of Time." It's due out next spring.
Check out the teaser below.

A few years ago, a former client walked up to me with hugs and tears. My grandchild played on the swings while we talked. This woman, a dark-haired blue-eyed beauty, had come for counseling with her boyfriend when she was a teenager. Her parents had died in a car accident. Her boyfriend's family took her in.
Attractive, shy, and feeling trapped, she let her boyfriend drag her to counseling. He demanded that I tell her to obey him. He hated any signs of her independence. He wanted total control. After all, he planned on marrying her.
I must admit, I didn't like his attitude.
When I didn't oblige him, he left counseling. You see, he had no intention of letting his power go. He was totally trapped.
She remained. I wondered if she could rise above the pain of losing her parents. I wondered if she could break away from her controlling boyfriend. Could she make it on her own? After all, she was only 17.
She yearned for independence. But where would she go? How could she support herself? Little by little she began to speak up. Secretly, she made plans for her future. During her senior year in high school she…page 9.

Is Conflict Ruining Your Marriage?


Many infectious diseases have similar signs and symptoms, making it challenging for healthcare providers to identify the disease-causing agent. Clinical samples are often tested by multiple test methods to help reveal the microbe that is causing the infectious disease. The results of these test methods can help healthcare professionals determine the best treatment for patients. Today, High-Throughput Sequencing (HTS) or Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology has the capability, as a single test, to accomplish what might have required several different tests in the past.
NGS technology may allow the diagnosis of infections without prior knowledge of disease(s) cause. NGS technology can potentially reveal the presence of all microorganisms in a patient sample. Using infectious disease NGS (ID-NGS) technology, each microbial pathogen may be identified by its unique genomic fingerprint. The vision of ID-NGS technology is to further improve patient care by delivering diagnostics which can help identify the microbial makeup in patient samples quickly and accurately.
A set of 15 mock clinical and 6 in silico metagenomics samples will be provided. Each challenge dataset is a mixture between a certain percentage of background (mock matrix) short reads and target (microbe) short reads. The test algorithm's performance will be judged based on its estimation of the composition of the target short reads (microbial composition). The background reads ensure that the samples resemble clinically relevant samples.
Participants are asked to submit the normalized confidence score (between 0 and 1) of identifying presence of each FDA-ARGOS species within the 21 metagenomics samples and their method for confidence score calculation.
Participants are asked to determine the quantity of genetic material originating from each species within the provided FDA-ARGOS reference database and to submit the species normalized quantity percentage (between 0 and 1) within each sample.
* It is possible that only a subset of short reads is being taxonomically classified, therefore, the final quantifications are going to be evaluated through root mean square deviation (RMSD) to the known quantities.
(OPTIONAL) The participants are asked to submit the read based normalized confidence score (between 0 and 1) of the presence of each FDA-ARGOS species within designated subsamples. 100,000 reads were subsampled from each of the 21 metagenomics samples and provided to participants.

Background: Maternal care is an important strategy for protection and promotion of maternal and children's health by reducing maternal mortality and improving the quality of birth. However, the status of maternal care is quite weak in the less developed rural areas in western China. It is found that the maternal mortality rates in some western areas of China were 5.8 times higher than those of their eastern costal counterparts. In order to reduce the maternal mortality rates and to improve maternal care in western rural areas of China, the Chinese Ministry of Health (MOH) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) sponsored a program named "Safe Motherhood" in ten western provinces of China from 2001 through 2005. This study mainly aims to evaluate the effects of "Safe Motherhood" program on maternal care utilization. Methods: 32 counties were included in both surveys conducted in 2001 and 2005, respectively. Ten counties of which implemented comprehensive community-based intervention were used as intervention groups, while 22 counties were used as control groups. Stratified 3-stage probability-proportion-to-size sampling method was used to select participating women. Two cross-sectional surveys were conducted with questionnaires about the prenatal care utilization in 2001 and 2005, respectively. Difference in difference estimation was used to assess the effect of intervention on the maternal care utilization while controlling for socio-economic characteristics of women. Results: After the intervention, the proportion of pregnant women who had their first prenatal visit in the first trimester was increased from 38.9% to 76.1%. The proportion of prenatal visits increased from 82.6% to 98.3%. The proportion of women mobilized to deliver in hospitals increased from 62.7% to 94.5%. Hospital delivery was improved greatly from 31.1% to 87.3%. The maternal mortality rate was lowered by 34.9% from 91.76 to 59.74 per 100,000 live births. The community-based intervention had increased prenatal visits rate by 5.2%, first prenatal visit in first trimester rate by 12.0% and hospital delivery rate by 22.5%, respectively. No effect was found on rate of women being mobilized to hospital delivery compared with that of the control group. Conclusion: The intervention program seemed to have improved the prenatal care utilization in rural western China.

Attorney General Josh Stein Calls on Tech Companies to Keep Contact Tracing Information Secure
(RALEIGH) Attorney General Josh Stein today asked Google and Apple to ensure all COVID-19 contact tracing and exposure notification apps adequately protect consumers' personal information. Attorney General Stein and a bipartisan coalition of 39 attorneys general are asking the tech companies to guarantee that such apps, when available to consumers, are affiliated with a public health authority and removed from Google Play and the App Store once the information is no longer needed by public health authorities
"Contact tracing is key to preventing the continued spread of the coronavirus and keeping North Carolinians safe and healthy," said Attorney General Josh Stein. "But we need to use these tools responsibly and protect people's information from scammers and bad actors. Google and Apple must take additional steps to make sure that the contact tracing apps they have available are secure."
In a letter to the CEOs of Apple and Google, the attorneys general acknowledge that while digital contact tracing and exposure notification tools are valuable in understanding the spread of COVID-19 and assisting public health authorities, these same technologies pose a risk to consumers' privacy. The coalition expressed concern about apps available in Google Play and the App Store that are not affiliated with any public health authority or legitimate research institution, utilize GPS tracking, and offer in-app purchases.
The attorneys general are asking Google and Apple to protect consumers without interfering with public health efforts by:
Verifying that every app labeled or marketed as related to contact tracing, COVID-19 contact tracing, or coronavirus contact tracing or exposure notification is affiliated with a municipal, county, state, or federal public health authority, or a hospital or university in the U.S. that is working with such public health authorities.
Removing any app that cannot be verified as affiliated with one of the entities identified above.
Pledging to remove all COVID-19/coronavirus-related exposure notification and contact tracing apps, including those that utilize the new exposure notification application program interfaces (APIs) developed by Google and Apple, from Google Play and the App Store once the COVID-19 national emergency ends.
North Carolina recently began its statewide manual contact tracing program, the COVID-19 Community Team. Attorney General Stein recently shared information about how to identify these legitimate contact tracers.
Attorney General Stein is joined in sending today's letter by the Attorneys General of Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia.
A copy of the letter is available here.

Concert Review: NSO's Blast of Spring
I love the French horn.
But it has to be one of the most difficult, unreliable, wobbly instruments in the ensemble. In most (rare-ish) cases of a missed entry or high note, a 'whoops' of loss of tone or control, the horn is at fault, not the oboe or even the trumpet, especially in the writing of Mahler, Bruckner, and Strauss. So to see and hear someone (do the kind of acrobatics called for in the first horn concertos of Strauss and Mozart was really something. But not a surprise though, because, you know, Radek Baborak…
The night began with Weber's Oberon overture, a piece I couldn't help but think was a good introduction but also a bit… plain (?) for any first timers in the audience. "Yeah, this is what I expect classical music should sound like." But it was clear and crisp and light, and the title of the concert, 'Blast of Spring', felt instantly appropriate, like looking up at a clear sky of stars behind an outline of tree branches.
Arming was energetic, pedal-to-the-medal, the opposite of gun-shy, which was encouraging, not the typical hesitant guest conductor. At times he looked like he was Samson pushing the columns around him down, others like an invisible assailant was wrenching his wrist, at least when he wasn't squatting down to reach eye level with his score. Many of his movements were slightly idiosyncratic, but not superfluous, meaningful but natural. My fellow concergoer said "The conductor dropped a lot of things during the concert." It did indeed look like he was kneeling that far down.
After the opening amuse bouche of sorts, we got our first look at Baborak. Confident but seemingly soft-spoken in his gestures and appearance, like the presence of a five-star chef. No shifting around, no tuning, almost before the applause had ended Strauss's first downbeat came.
Strauss was beyond bucolic,Austrian, friendly, warm and welcoming. The solo horn part seemed effortless, reaching from warm bold fortes to the mildest, distant full-bodied pianos, no tremble, no hesitation. The orchestra followed suit, dropping to sudden nothingness when Arming dropped nearly to his knees at the podium. Mendelssohn and German music in general come to mind, a young, lively, ambitious Strauss, who should have written more horn concerti, but even here we hear (or I do) the things that make his music so noteworthy: color, vibrance, excitement, even in a more classical, reserved manner, they are still apparent. Fabulous performance.
After the break, we get Mozart; Arming's baton disappears, and I question if he'd had one at all. The Mozart is even more polite, and less virtuosic, which is apparently due to Mozart's horn player being of considerable age, but here perhaps because our soloist has already given us a very demanding work, even after 20 minutes of intermission.
I hear similarities between the works: a subdued style, highly virtuosic because it's the French horn but not in an overwrought, pompous way. It's virtuosic because of the control and warmth and tone and agility all perfectly executed throughout both works. And effortlessly, at that. Nothing in the performance by either the soloist or the orchestra felt weighed down or heavy, all expressive, light, but not overdone.
Everything up to that point had made for a rather light concert program, youthful, vernal music, no thunderstorms, or even really dark clouds. Bassoons called out with the solo horn with extreme beauty, flute solos, clarinet solos (our clarinet soloist[s] at the NSO truly exquisite lately!) all properly trimmed and brimming with vigor.
Baborak's encore after the Mozart was like Bach wrote a partita for post horn to be performed in the mountains. Warm and heroic and bold, then distant and soft, but still full, alternating passages of near and far, like a superhero wearing a cape calling to a distant friend, who seemed to respond from miles away in a distant but still full-bodied, warm tone. Very horn-like.
The meatiest piece on the program was Schumann's first symphony, the 'spring' one. It was carefree and wild, youthful and energetic, but somehow a bit muddled. Small detail that I know from the work was apparently missing or clouded. Arming conducted with passion and freeness (and the return of the baton), but there seemed something off-kilter about the work, perhaps phrasing or balance.
I know the piece like I know an unfamiliar coworker. Sure you can identify them, and you know a bit about their personality, that they're friendly and like foreign films and drink smoothies every morning for breakfast but have an insatiable hunger for potato chips (or whatever), but don't really know them. That's my relationship with the Schumann. I remember being very pleased listening to the work repeatedly, but never really being compelled to revisit it ever. So when I heard it again tonight (live, for the first time) it was pleasantly familiar in that "Ah! I remember this" way, but…. not exactly the way I remember it. There was a youthful freeness of expression that was indeed invigorating, but it seemed to be at the expense of some degree of exactness or clarity. Maybe I'm wrong, and/or used to studio-quality exactness and balance.
In any case, first ever live horn concertos for me, and a rather light program overall. I guess that's not so much the case for Baborak, giving us two concertos back to back. That was a treat, and it was nice to end the evening with some more crunch and heft from Schumann.
I'll be seeing Baborak's former colleagues in just under a month when the Berlin Philharmonic plays on the very same stage. Stay tuned!

Brody Jenner, Avril Lavigne Split!
mairita- January 17, 2012 -Avril Lavigne-0 Comments
Looks like Avril Lavigne will have to find herself a brand-new skater boy.
The rocker has split from her boyfriend of nearly two years, Brody Jenner, multiple sources confirm to Us Weekly.
Calling it quits last week, Lavigne, 25, and Jenner, 26, clashed over how to balance their relationship with their individual career pursuits.
"Every time he wanted to come back and take meetings to get his career back in order, she would make him go to Asia and Europe," an insider tells Us of Lavigne, who released her fourth studio album, Goodbye Lullaby, in March 2011, and helms her own clothing line, Abbey Dawn.
Former Hills star Jenner, says the source, felt held back by his girlfriend.
"He hasn't worked and he wants to. They were both unhappy because he wants to have his career, she wants him to stay with her," argues the insider, adding that Lavigne vetoed multiple TV show offers Jenner recently received.
Dating Lavigne since spring 2010, Jenner has been open about showing his affection. In August 2010, he shaved the letter 'A' into the side of his head, shortly after he reportedly inked his girlfriend's name on his left forearm.
Despite their split, the source close to the couple isn't ruling out a reconciliation.
"There is always a chance they will get back together," says the source. "Brody is trying to set the ground rules and wants to be able to work. They have to find a balance."
A rep for Lavigne — who split from husband of three years Deryck Whibley in 2009 — had no comment.

It regarded whether the city must retain its present administration form or modify to a representative kind. There was a discussion, whether the city has outgrown open city meeting, where determinations are made only by those that attending or whether direct-vote administration works well due citizens that who opt to attend are specifically fascinated in and informed on the problems. During 2009 of November, the charter commission officer suggested a hybrid legislative branch incorporating a legislative committee and an open city meeting. At a city election on may 18, 2010, a charter proposal was refused by a vote of about 1123 yes and 2305 no.
As of February 2012, there're 12383 enrolled voters in the town. 32.7 percent are registered as democrats, 7.8 percent are registered as republicans, 59.2 percent don't belong to any party, and 12 belong to other groups.
In the year 2012, president election, the Barack Obama sustained Sharon with 63 percent of the vote, whilst mitt Romney obtained 35 percent. The same year, the democrat Elizabeth warren won the election with the vote around 57 percent, defeating incumbent republican the senator Scott brown, that who obtained 43 percent of vote in the Sharon.
The place is in Massachusetts 4th congressional region, and is presently in US house of representatives by the Joseph p. Kennedy III and in us senate by Ed Markey and Elizabeth warren.
The whole quantity of powder is introduced, and the Le Chatelier's Apparatus for Determining Specific Gravity is the level of the liquid rises to some division of the graduated neck. This reading plus 20 cu. cm. is the volume displaced by 64 gr. of the powder. The specific gravity is then obtained from the formula: Specific Gravity = Weight of cement Displaced volume. The flask during the operation is kept in water in a jar A in order to avoid variation in the temperature of the liquid. The results should agree within 0.01. It is generally accepted that the coarser materials in cement are practically inert, and it is only the extremely fine powder that possesses adhesive cementing qualities. The more finely cement is pulverized, all other conditions being the same, the more sand it will carry and produce a concrete mortar of a given strength. The degree of pulverization which the cement receives at the place of manufacture is ascertained by measuring the residue retained on certain sieves. Those known as No. 100 and No. 200 sieves are recommended for this purpose. The sieve should be circular, about 20 cm. (7.87 inches) in diameter, 6 cm. (2.36 inches) high, and provided with a pan 5 cm. (1.97 inches) deep, and a cover. The wire cloth should be woven from brass wire having the following diameters: No. 100, 0.0045 inches; No. 200, 0.0024 inches. This cloth should be mounted on the frame without distortion. The mesh should be regular in spacing and be within the following limits: No. 100, 96 to 100 meshes to the linear inch. No. 200, 188 to 200 meshes to the linear inch. 50 grams (1.76 oz.) or 100 gr. (3.52 oz.) should be used for the test and dried at a temperature of 1000 Centigrade or 212° Fahrenheit prior to sieving. The thoroughly dried and coarsely screened sample is weighed and placed on the No. 200 sieve, which, with pan and cover attached, is held in one hand in a slightly inclined position, and moved forward and backward, at the same time striking the side gently with the palm of the other hand, at the rate of about 200 strokes per minute. The operation is continued until not more than of 1 percent passes through after one minute of continuous sieving. The residue is weighed, then placed on the No. 100 sieve and the operation repeated. The work may be expedited by placing in the sieve a small quantity of large shot. The results should be reported to the nearest tenth of 1 Centigrade. The use of a proper percentage of water in making the pastes, cement and water, from which pats, tests of setting, and briquettes are made, is exceedingly important, and affects vitally the results obtained. The determination consists in measuring the amount of water required to reduce the cement to a given state of plasticity, or to what is usually designated the normal consistency. Various methods have been proposed for making this determination, none of which has been found entirely satisfactory. The Concrete Committee recommends the following: The apparatus for this test consists of a frame K, Fig. 2, bearing a movable rod L, with the cap A at one end, and at the other the cylinder B, 1 cm. (0.39 in.) in diameter, the cap, rod, and cylinder weighing 300 gr. (10.58 oz.). The rod, which can be held in any desired position by a screw F, carries an indicator, which moves over a scale (graduated to centimeters) attached to the frame K. The paste is held by a conical, hard-rubber ring I, 7 cm. (2.76 in.) in diameter at the base, 4 cm. (1.57 in.) high, resting on a glass plate J about 10 cm. (3.94 in. square). In making the determination, the same quantity of cement as will be subsequently used for each batch in making the briquettes (but not less than 500 grams) is kneaded into a paste, as described later in paragraph on "Mixing," and quickly formed into a ball with the hands, completing the operation by tossing it six times from one hand to the other, maintained 6 inches apart; the ball is then pressed into the rubber ring, through the larger opening, smoothed off, and. placed (on its large end) on a glass plate and the smaller end smoothed off with a trowel; the paste confined in the ring, resting on the plate, is placed under the rod bearing the cylinder, which is brought in contact with the surface and quickly released. The paste is of normal consistency when the cylinder penetrates to a point, in the mass 10 mm. (0.39 in.) below the top of the ring. Great care must be taken to fill the ring exactly to the top. The trial pastes are made with varying percentages of water until the correct consistency of concrete mix is obtained.

You have no doubt seen the new banner of WoodyBoater, and thought, mmm? I wonder what thats all about. Well, they are new and old all at the same time? This is a group of folks that was part of the crew at The Antique Boat Center. Dennis, Joel, Brian and Lou have all stepped out a couple years ago and started their own shop in Cincinnati. As we all know, 2 years in this passion is brand new.
Here is a note from the guys. Take it away.
After 10 years of working for a broker and restorer, I wanted to open my own shop. I wanted to take all of the good things from what I had learned in this antique boat restoration business that focused solely on antique and classic boats. After some encouragement from a few friends and people I work with, we found a small property in 2016 and started work on making it a viable boat shop.
And with a fresh coat. you can sniff the varnish if you like!
A low overhead operation was part of the goal. We provide excellent service and craftsmanship at a reasonable cost. 1:00 – 5:00pm to celebrate the fun, history and group therapy that wooden boats bring to us! I took that idea and navigated it past some antique boaters, Lou Rauh and Dennis Ryan, who know better than to throw out the old boat with the bilge water. My ideas were tossed around, a plan was developed and in August of 2016, Motor Boat Garage was opened.
experienced people (like Joel Terbrueggen, Frank Jones and Dennis Ryan ) , get people to bring their boats to Cincinnati. Piece o' cake!
The water gods (Mahogany, Varnish and Chrome) must have been watching over the Garage; it has grown like barnacles on a pier.
A year and a half later, a second Open House is happening Saturday, February 17, from 1:00 – 5:00pm to celebrate the fun, history and group therapy that wooden boats bring to us!
The Antique Boat Museum & The ACBS Had A Symposium To Start The Summer Off Right.
North Country Boatworks Shares The Cool F.S. Crate Triple.
I'm buying an engine from Brain, just waiting for decent weather for the 16 hour round trip to pick it up. The wall of engines caught my eye. Friendly cooperative people, can't wait to see their operation.!
John & I hope to make it up to say hello. Seeing boats being prepared for the coming season is a nice boost during the nastiness of winter!
Looks like a place I need to see. Would make a good winter outing.
Is that a 1952ish Chrysler M47S in the foreground of the 9th picture? Can you tell its been a long winter and I am starving for boat stuff? I would love to attend but it is a long drive from Toronto in February. I wish you and your business success.
I wish all of you the best of luck with the new business. Sure miss seeing you in sunny Florida.
lot of nice boats in that building, is that a sprinkler system in the ceiling?
Brian glad to see you guy's back at it.
I will be there on Saturday to see your new place.


Thanks to an abundance of technology all around us, we have now become a society that has a very short attention span and that means that a lot of written content is something that really intimidates us at this point. Because of that website owners have had to become a lot more creative when it comes to presenting their content to their customers. If you have a website, personal like a blog or professional for your business needs, then you are also someone that needs to get creative if you want to stand out in the eyes of your base and have them actually pay attention to your content. Images are a great way for you to do that and luckily for you, there are now tons of sources out there that offer free images to use on websites. Today we are going to talk about out top three sources, so definitely make sure to keep reading and get some information on them.
If you are looking for great quality royalty-free images, art illustrations and vectors then this is the place for you. Something that is really great about this site is the fact that you're not required to give any attribution to the photographers and artists when using the images for personal or commercial purposes, or even when you are printing items. With over 250 thousand photos and a variety of different categories, you will definitely be able to find something for your own website. The one thing that we will say is you should definitely read all of the terms of service carefully because there are some limitations and restrictions.
With this source you will be able to find free images to use on websites that are both free and paid for and that are able to be used for personal and for professional and business purposes so that means that you can use them on any kind of website. Something that can be considered a minor drawback is the fact that when using any of the free images you will have to give attribution to the owners of the images when you use them.
Finding the right images is a great way for you to set the tone of your site and make sure that anyone that lands on it will know exactly what your site is all about. Pixabay, FreeDigitalPhotos.net and Flickr are some of the best sources out there for you to find free images to use on websites, so definitely make sure to take a look at what they have to offer and we feel that you won't be disappointed.

Beyonce Responds to 'Formation' Sample Lawsuit
C'mon, 'Formation' Only Used a Little of Your Voice
9/22/2017 9:32 AM PDT
Beyonce seems to believe it's okay that her hit, "Formation," used a sample of a dead New Orleans rapper … because she only used a tiny bit of his voice.
Beyonce just filed a response to the lawsuit from the estate of Anthony Barre — and in the docs, her lawyers say the use of Anthony's voice is "reasonable and justified." You'll recall, Bey's hit track includes Anthony's voice saying "I like that," but his estate says it never signed off on the use … and wants $20 mil in back royalties.
She's not giving up the dough that easily. According to the docs, Beyonce's team says Barre's estate has no case because the use of his voice was so minimal it doesn't require compensation. For the record, it's about 6 seconds long.
They also invoke the First Amendment as justification for using Anthony — aka Messy Mya — but that seems like a stretch, and makes us think Team Bey is just throwing everything but the kitchen sink at this lawsuit.

Illustrated with vintage postcards that beg for a backstory, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (by Ransom Riggs) starts off as a typical teen novel with a self-deprecating narrator from a mildly dysfunctional family. Jacob's big challenges for the summer are getting fired from his inane job at one of the family's chain of drugstores and to keep his grandfather, who seems to be suffering from worsening dementia, in check. Jacob had always shared a special closeness with his grandfather, but long ago stopped believing his fantastic stories about monsters and the "peculiar" children he grew up with in a Welsh orphanage. When Jacob's dad dispatches him to his grandfather's house on a day when the elder is especially agitated, Jacob finds him in the woods behind his house, the victim of a brutal attack by what authorities guess was a wild animal. The tentacle-mouthed creature Jacob glimpses leaving the scene haunts his dreams thereafter, along with his grandfather's dying instructions, to "find the bird, in the loop, on the other side of the old man's grave. September third, 1940." So begins Jacob's quest. He convinces his ornithologist father to accompany him to the island where his grandfather spent his childhood as a refugee from occupied Poland. Jacob expects to find the idyllic, rambling mansion of his grandfather's stories, but is disappointed by a bombed out shell of a house covered in mold and neglect. Determined to find some clue of what his grandfather meant to tell him, he stubbornly explores the house. When he discovers that he's being watched, he pursues the spy to a part of the island heretofore known only by "peculiars." The action kicks into high gear in this coming of age story that combines horror, magic, fascinating characters, and a little romance. Read it before Tim Burton gets his hands on it.

Calabarzon, or the industrial region of Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon provinces, is experiencing a dramatic increase in new tourism projects. "There are a lot of properties being built in Calabarzon region," Louella Jurilla, regional director of the Tourism Department for Calabarzon, said during a buyers and sellers business matching session in Intramuros, Manila on July 21, 2009.
Director Jurilla said there are now more than 200 accredited establishments, with a total of 3,000 rooms, in Calabarzon region alone. "We see this number to further increase by 8 percent this year," she said. In justifying her forecast, she said three large projects are to be constructed in Cavite province, although she said it is premature to disclose the details of those projects.
She said several large projects are also under development or have been recently completed, including the 300-room Summit Ridge Hotel of Robinsons Land Corporation in Tagaytay City. For example, businessman Henry Sy is expanding the 261-room Taal Vista Hotel in Tagaytay to make it the largest in the area, with a total of 450 rooms. The hotel, managed by Fuego Hotels and Properties, has recently erected a new building.
Microtel Inn and Suites in Sto. Tomas Batangas has recently added 22 rooms to bring its total to 78 rooms. A dozen hotels and resorts which have expanded their properties participated in the business matching session with travel agencies and tour operators.
These properties include the 70-room Club East Manila in Taytay Rizal, which boasts of the largest wave pool in Southeast Asia. Reggie Hernandez, the events and promotions officer of Club East Manila, said they offer surfing lessons on their 10 swimming pools.
Other properties are Mount Malarayat Gold and Country Club in Lipa City, with 80 rooms and 200-hectare gold course and country club; Hotel Pontefino in Batangas City, with 60 rooms and two swimming pools, including a new P12-million pool; Taal Vista Hotel in Tagaytay City; Tagaytay Country Hotel, with 68 guest rooms and several function rooms; Microtel Inn and Suites in Sto. Tomas Batangas and 75-room Microtel Inn and Suites at the Eage Ridge Golf and Country Club in General Trias, Cavite; and Matabungkay Beach Resort in Lian Batangas, with 86 guest rooms, several function rooms, and a 1.5-kilometer beach front.
Also in the list are the 75-room Eagle Point Resort in Mabini, Batangas; 68-room Tagaytay Country Hotel; Nurture Spa Village in Tagaytay; Caliraya Recreation Center in Lumban, Laguna; and the Farm at San Benito in Lipa City. Director Jurilla said Calabarzon remains the top destination for domestic tourists, despite the rise of other destinations in the countryside.
"We are number 1 in domestic visitors," she said, while quickly adding that Calabarzon also attracts a great number of foreign visitors. Top destinations in the region, she said, are Enchanted Kingdom in Sta. Rosa, Laguna; the hot spring resorts in Los Banos, Laguna; Tagaytay City; golf courses in Cavite; and the diving spots in Batangas.
She said tourist arrivals in the region continued to show modest growth, despite the global economic downturn, although the figures are not yet finalized.

The bar chart describes the number of houses built in two neighboring cities, Derby and Nottingham, Between 2000 and 2009.
Overall, the number of houses that were erected in Derby exceeded upwards the quantity constructed in Nottingham. The trend for the former was decidedly upwards, with Derby experiencing a steady rise from 40 new houses in the first year, to just under 120 during the 2003. Over the next 4 years of decade, new houses construction in Derby remained constant at just under 120. This is in sharp contrast to the last two years when the number of houses that went up in Derby leapt, first to 280 and then to 350 houses.
Houses building in Nottingham, by comparison, was much more erratic. In the first two years of the decade, more houses were erected in Nottingham than in Derby. In 2002, however, construction declined to only 20. Over the next three years, houses numbers rose steadily, only to drop practically to zero in 2006. There was then a dramatic surge in 2007 with over 200 houses being built. While in 2008 saw house building in Nottingham plummeting to only 10, in 2009 the number of new houses rocketed to 270, a rise of more than 2600 % on the previous year.

Patrice Lumumba, the first democratically elected leader of the Congo, spoke out against his former colonial masters, and became the victim of an international conspiracy. Killed by firing squad in 1961, it would take over 40 years for the government who aided in his murder to apologize.
Who Killed Patrice Lumumba? documents the detective work of Belgian author and sociologist Ludo de Witte over six years as he unravels Lumumba's murder, and identifies those responsible.
Plotted by the CIA and carried out with the help of the Belgian government, this documentary follows the trail of evidence unearthed by de Witte from Congo to Washington and Brussels for surprisingly candid interviews with CIA operative Larry Devlin and Belgian diplomat Jacques Brassinne.
Once the richest colony in Africa, today the Congo is one of the poorest countries on the continent – plundered for its mineral wealth and ravaged by war.

I was attempting to export a change list from Filmscribe, when it gave me an error, due to disparate lengths between the sequences. the program then suggested I restart my computer and crashed (the program not the computer). I closed down Media Composer and restarted my computer.
Upon restarting MC now just shows the "The application AvidMediaComposer quit unexpectedly" error and asks if I want to relaunch. When I relaunch, it all begins again, even when I had it reset application settings and relaunch. I even uninstalled FilmScribe, in case that caused the error, and restarted again, this time letting the tower cool for several minutes.
It says that the library file "libSwrtFx.dylib" is missing, and when I looked the entire Avid folder in Application Support was gone.
Has anyone has this happen before? and if so are there any solutions that I can do quickly? Should I just reinstall? I need this program back up and running fast.
Uninstall and reinstall. Make sure you select all of the programs (the other programs don't usually default to being installed).

ClassicMovieChat.com – The Golden Era of Hollywood
Star from Start to Finish — DEBORAH KERR — A QUIZ
February 11, 2019Written by Joe Morella and Frank Segers
She holds the record for the most Oscar Nominations without a win. She was a star for decades.
She was equally at home playing the whore……
….and playing the nun.
And, she had the distinction of being nominated for the best actress Oscar a total of six times, and never winning. (Her sole Oscar win was an honorary one, awarded in 1994 citing her "impeccable grace and beauty.")
Yes, we are talking about Deborah Kerr, one of Great Britain's most successful exports to Hollywood.
Our favorite Kerr movie is 1953's From Here to Eternity, which ranks as one of the best Book-2-Movies evolutions Hollywood ever produced. Despite its staggering 650 pages, the book translates beautifully to the screen.
The essence of the James Jones novel was captured perfectly by director Fred Zinnemann, and the famous scene of Burt Lancaster and Kerr in passionate embrace on the beach (see the B&W photo above) has long since been established as a Hollywood pictorial icon. No question — she could turn on the sex appeal.
But what else do you know about this "English rose" who figured prominently in some of the most acclaimed films of the Fifties and early Sixties. As usual, questions today and answers tomorrow. Here we go:
1) Question: Despite her arbitrary Hollywood designation as the "English Rose," Kerr was actually born in a) Australia; b) Wales; c) Scotland; or d) Serbo-Croatia?
2) Question: Yes, Kerr was nominated in the best actress Oscar category for her work in six films including From Here To Eternity and 1956's The King and I. Which one of the following did NOT earn her a nomination? a) The Sundowners; b) Edward, My Son; c) Separate Tables; or d) Quo Vadis.
3) Question: Not widely know was the fact that Kerr could sing pretty well, with her vocal abilities on display at least once since she did her own singing in the musical The King and I. a) True or b) False.
4) Question: In her early 30's Kerr conducted an offscreen affair with which one of her onscreen costars? a) Robert Mitchum; b) Yul Brynner; c) Robert Taylor; or d) Burt Lancaster.
5) Question: How was Kerr's surname properly pronounced? a) "care"; b) "cur;" c) "car"; d) "currr."
DEBORAH KERR Quiz — The Answers
A PAIR OF STAR GESTURES
DEBORAH KERR… An actress who's great competing Oscar-less career just shows how political and meaningless it is to pit one great performance against another…
And to only give Kerr and so many others, an 'honorary' Oscar when they are in frail health to receive it, and only then to round-out a TV presentation show…
The British Academy for Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) recognized Deborah's talents for the first of four times when it nominated her for The End of the Affair in 1956. In that same year she made the controversial TEA AND SYMPATHY with John Kerr (no relation), and received her second BAFTA nomination in 1958 (two years later for some obscure reason). Both nominations were unsuccessful, but she did experience her one and only taste of success in 1956 when she was nominated for an Oscar and a Golden Globe for THE KING AND I. The film won the Best Picture Oscar, its male lead Yul Brynner took home the Best Actor statuette, but Ingrid Bergman won Best Actress for ANASTASIA. Deborah had to settle for a Golden Globe, but at least it was a win at last!
The BAFTA people would momentarily raise her hopes once more in 1965 with a fourth nomination, this time for THE CHALK GARDEN, but…the same old result. Twenty years down the track would see her nominated for the fifteenth (and last) time. This one was a little different, recognizing her contribution to a TV mini-series titled A WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE. A Primetime Emmy Award would have been a nice cap on her illustrious career but, needless to say, it was not to be and she became another 'also-ran'. Nearly a decade later, in 1994, the Academy finally decided to acknowledge this great lady of the screen by presenting her with an Honorary Academy Award. Three years earlier BAFTA had given her a 'Special Award' which, presumably, was to atone for her four unsuccessful nominations. As far as Oscar nominations are concerned there have been three women thus far who have been nominated six times without winning – the other two being Thelma Ritter and Glenn Close. It was Miss Close, ironically, who presented a humble and visibly frail Deborah Kerr with her Honorary Oscar.
Not much of a quiz today, just a quick IMDB check…
1) C
2) D
3) B
In 1968 Deborah temporarily retired from movies, appalled at the increasing violence and sex appearing in pictures of the day. She did a little television here and there after that. Her friendship with Mitchum lasted until his death in 1997. He still adored her.
Director William Wyler summed up two of the screen's truly great ladies when he said: 'I still think of Audrey Hepburn as the princess, but Deborah Kerr as the queen'. Amen to that!
Keep those 'COMMENTS' coming…

NFL Player Bret Lockett Visits Hathaway-Sycamores
Posted by Mary Kay on Apr 2, 2013 in News | 0 comments
New York Jets' Bret Lockett Shares Football and Life Lessons with Boys in Residential Treatment
For the second time in the last two weeks the boys at El Nido (our residence campus) were treated to a visit from an NFL player. On Monday, April 1st New York Jets' safety Bret Lockett came to meet the boys at El Nido.
New York Jets player Bret Lockett visits Hathaway-Sycamores
Lockett attended UCLA after graduating from Diamond Bar High School. He shared with the boys the challenges he faced making it into the NFL. Lockett was invited to Cleveland to try out for the Browns after not being picked in the 2009 draft. Lockett discussed the determination necessary to make the cut, how he made up his mind to do everything humanly possible to make the team. No matter how tired he was he kept giving it his all. Lockett's hard work and determination paid off when he was signed by the Cleveland Browns as an undrafted free agent. He went on to play for the New England Patriots and was signed by the New York Jets earlier this year.
The most important message he wanted to impart to the boys is that anything is possible, to always stay positive. Lockett shared his philosophy of looking ahead to the next challenge that awaits him. He talked about personally having to overcome injuries and the need to plan ahead for life beyond football since the average career of an NFL player is only 3.3 years. The visit concluded with Lockett answering a lot of interesting questions from the boys.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The House followed the Senate's unanimous approval of SB 865, sponsored by Sen. David Sater, with a 140-6 vote, moving the "Health Insurance Rate Review" bill to the Governor's desk on Tuesday.
In addition to rate review, the bill will modify provisions regarding licenses issued by the Board of Pharmacy and covered prescription benefits, delineates procedures for PBMs with regards to MAC lists, and requires health carriers to offer medication synchronization services.
The advancement was cheered by Missouri Health Care for All (MHCFA), who believe the bill will bring more transparency to insurance premiums.
Professor Sidney Watson, the Jane and Bruce Robert Professor of Law at Saint Louis University's Center for Health Law Studies and a Missouri Health Care for All Board Member, pointed out that Missouri families are suffering under high premiums, especially in certain parts of the state.
The coalition was proud to be able to work on the bill with bipartisan supporters.
Crystal Brigman Mahaney, MHCFA's Deputy Director, noted grassroots supporters from across the state have spoken out in support of rate review for years.
Bersdale urged the Governor to sign the bill without delay.


it's my responsibility, I care about the future, it's important.
I vote because it is my democratic right and responsibility.
Canada is the greatest country in the world. Voting is a way I can personally protect the country and values I hold dear so that I'll have a Canada I want in the future.
I acknowledge that the current system is imperfect and frustrating and that the current choices we are presented with are also imperfect and frustrating. However, we do have some choices that appear better than others, and I think it's worth working with the system we've got to at least try to move in a better direction. Maybe if the NDP or the Greens come into power it won't be the Utopia we're dreaming of, but I *guarantee* it will be better than the Conservatives! So I am voting because I think we can do better than what we've got right now. And I also try to remind myself that a vote is never wasted - if the Conservatives and Liberals see more people voting NDP and Green, they will be more motivated to try to win back these votes by adjusting their own policies. Even a small step in the right direction is still a step!! "Petit à petit l'oiseau fait son nid."
I vote because my opinion matters and I am lucky to live in a country that gives me that opportunity.
I vote because it's important. Do you?
I respect the women who fought for my right to vote.
I have yet to hear a legitimate excuse for not voting. I'm not sure one exists.
I vote because I CAN! HOORAY!
First of all, I want to live in a country where I can actually vote (and I do). I know that my vote can make a difference. You can't be silent about it, though; you must discuss politics with friends and family, even if it means that you might offend someone. It's about engaging the public. There are people literally dying for the right to vote, and yet so many young Canadians are apathetic. Choose which party reflects your beliefs the most and then cast your ballot. Use the Internet to your advantage and research every single party member to the fullest extent. Think of Canada as a whole and then think of your family and your future kids (if you have any). What sort of life do you want? For the poor and working class, we need to work together to make Canada a good place for everyone. Where is our Robin Hood?

Donation or sale of a second-hand vehicle What is better?
When we consider giving a second-hand car, the first doubts arise when calculating the amount of the tax to be applied; in this case, the Donations. A tribute that, depending on who is benefited by our altruistic gift, can be very expensive and sometimes "obliges" the parties to rethink the operation and assess the possibility of a sale. If you are involved in one of these operations, see if it is more convenient for you to donate or buy the used vehicle.
When dealing with this question, you should know that the paperwork of one and another operation is practically the same. It will be necessary to sign the corresponding contractor Public Deed between the parties, go to the Traffic Department of the province to change the ownership of the vehicle and make sure that the change has been made correctly. For the latter, it is important to request an Enrollment Report from the DGT, where the current owner of the vehicle and the date of the last transmission appear.
So, what is the difference between donation or purchase of a second-hand vehicle? Undoubtedly, the amount of the tax to be paid to the Treasury. To answer the question we must analyze each specific case, taking into account the autonomy where we are, the fiscal value of the vehicle, the price actually paid for it -in the case of purchase- and the relationship of the generous donor. and the lucky donation.
In case of no relationship of kinship, for a vehicle of high value, the tax will always be lower in a sale than in a donation. On the contrary, if a father wants to donate a second-hand vehicle to his son in Madrid, he will hardly have to pay Donation Tax.
What is clear is that, in one way or another, the final result must be the correct change of ownership of the vehicle, which you can check once all the operations have been carried out by means of an Enrollment Report of the DGT or a Note Simple Registry of Personal Property. In Direct Registration, we can help you with both options.
