Q: How to use one sidebar to resize two windows/tab at same time Idk if it's called sidebar or not. But I want to know that how place two windows side by side and then use one side bar to change the size of both windows.
When we place two windows side by side then want one of them to be big and other to be small, we need to make short the size of second windows first and then large the first windows.
In MacOS, the sidebars collapse and we can the size of both windows by moving only one sidebar. But I don't know how to do it in windows 7. So can someone tell me how to do that?

A: Please try holding windows key then press left/right arrow key. Or drag apps on the left/right most end of the screen and leave it.
This works in Windows 10 but not sure about windows 7.

A: AltDrag might save you a little bit of time, but it doesn't provide exactly what you want.
AltDrag is a program that lets you move and resize a window with Alt + Left mouse button and Alt + Right mouse button respectively. From the website:

*

*Use the right mouse button to resize windows. It will resize from the corner or edge you grab closest to.

*Hold down the Shift key to snap to other windows. You can enable automatic snapping in the options.

So if you hold Alt and Shift, you can use snap the edge of one window to another with Right mouse button instead of manually moving the edge to the desired position.

Q: client not handshaken client should reconnect, socket.io in cluster My node.js app with express, redis, mongo and socket.io works prefectly.
Today when I introduced cluster, I found that it works, but there are lot of messages by the app,
'client not handshaken' 'client should reconnect'

Many a times the response time from socket.io is very bad, up several seconds.
Then I used http-proxy front ending the requests from the browsers. Chrome works intermittently without throwing up such messages. Sometimes if I open the same URL again, it starts throwing up these messages and response is delayed.
Firefox also behaves the same way. randomly, it starts throwing these messages continuously..
Looks like some problem with websocket in clustered environment.
My node.js version is 0.6.10, socket.io 0.9.0, express 2.5.9, http-proxy 0.8.0

A: This is most probably because Socket.IO keeps your connections in memory, so each server will have it's own set of clients. To share Socket.IO over multiple server instances, look into using their RedisStore. The same applies to Express sessions, where you have connect-redis as an option.

Projects Can Feel Like Turning the Queen Mary 2?
Are you embarking on your career or considering a career change? Plenty of people want to pursue a career in project management. Where should you start?
To be a successful project manager, you must be able to manage your time well. The best project managers ensure they are productive for most of their time and avoid time-wasters at all costs. Here are some tips that can help you manage your time more efficiently.
Much is written about IT projects going offshore to low-cost countries and the emergence of the IT services industry in these countries. These articles, however, don't tell the whole story. Instead, they focus on getting the most from your offshore partners. Little information exists about offshore working from the project manager's perspective.

Ok Ladies I feel your pain…I had to be on the other side of the lens for a quick AliKat Boutique shoot…needed an image with Free People and wanted a more "mature" model so I had to volunteer. My daughter Sydney was kind enough to take over camera duties and all I have to say is Thank God for photoshop. If I had more time I would have booked my wonderful makeup artist Elisa who brings out everyones best features with her magic brushes. It was really uncomfortable being on that side of the lens but it was a good lesson on how my clients are feeling and what I can say or do to make them feel more comfortable.

Creating an Enum involves the creation of the enum-type itself, a ValueTypeValue wrapper and a view for that specific enum. By creating a generic EnumValue a generic EnumValueView can be introduced. This way it is not necessary to create a view for every enum and the generic view can be used instead. The generic view simply contains a dropdown for the given enum, like all the existing enum specific views.
r12037 Implemented EnumValue and EnumValueView.
r12148: Changed behavior of EnumValue to avoid subclassing.
r12278: Merged r12037 and r12148 into stable.


Bryn Preece is the head greenkeeper and has been at the club for the past six years, having previously worked at West Malling, Nizels and a spell in Riverside Golf Club in Tasmania. He heads a team of five greenkeepers and works closely with former Captain and current Greens Chairman, Stan Topliss.
"This is one of the best pieces of equipment that I have ever purchased," Bryn said. "Our Toro Sidewinder was getting a bit long in the tooth and I was looking for a replacement tees and bunker surrounds mower. I read an article in a trade magazine where Peter Pattenden at Carden Park was extolling the merits of his recently purchased Ventrac."
"Peter is guy I wholeheartedly respect, so I contacted the UK distributor, Price Turfcare and arranged a demo here for the team and the Greens Chairman. We selected the toughest area we could find, some banks covered in bracken on the 3rd fairway. and it dealt with it with ease. In fact, it was the best machinery demonstration I have ever seen.
"We are a heathland course and over the years bracken and unwanted trees have encroached on the margins. We have embarked on a five-year planned process of returning it to a more traditional state and in just the first couple of weeks since delivery the Ventrac has proved its worth. The ToughCut deck is great at removing the bracken and allowing the underlying heather to thrive. It can go anywhere on the course and tackles any slopes with ease. We do everything in-house and the versatility is amazing."
Greens Chairman Stan Topliss added: "This was a significant investment for our club and we are delighted with the purchase of this Ventrac. As Bryn said, its versatility is amazing; with the Countour deck we can manage many areas around the course and the stump grinder comes into it's own for woodland management.The ToughCut deck is a marvel. We will certainly be looking to add more attachments and I know that Bryn is hinting that he would like a second machine!"

Q: How to Mock A Method(non-virtual) To Return Particular Value Using GMock in C++? My Issue is I want to Mock an Static Non-Virtual Method to return true, which is eventually return false.
I have Static Method
eg:
class SomeClass{
    public:
    static bool SomeClass::DoAction() {
        // do some Actions
    };
};

I wanted to return always true during mocks, but it by default return false,
Are there anyways to Mock
I have Tried the following approach to check the on call value and find out it cause false.
class MockSomeClass : public SomeClass {
public:
    MockSomeClass() {
        ON_CALL(this, DoAction).WillByDefault(testing::Return(true));
    }
    virtual ~MockSomeClass(){};
    MOCK_METHODO(DoAction, bool());

As the Mock is used to leave the functions, are there any ways to return a specific value for the function, or replace the return value to true and continue operation in testing using gmock and gtest in C++.
consider example below
E.g:
  FunctionA(){
      if (SomeClass::DoAction()){
          // do Actions - I wanted to pass the call do the actions.
      }
  };

here I want to test the action in the if true case, are there any ways to do above methods testable without changing any underlying codes.
I have tried different approaches present in the method still i didn't able to get an exact solutions.
 https://github.com/google/googletest/tree/master/googlemock/docs

*

*Using Default Value
using ::testing::DefaultValue;
DefaultValue<bool>::Set(true);
// call the mock methods
DefaultValue<bool>::Clear();

*Using Invoke, this doesn't work since the static method is non void.
Are there any solutions except the above mention methods.

A: I wanted to just write a comment, but it would be too long, therefore here is the answer. If you cannot change your production code at all, don't read further, it is simply impossible to test it (at least it is impossible to alter the behavior of calls to SomeClass::DoAction()). If you can change the code a little bit, and if you wish to make it more testable and flexible, define the interface responsible for calls to the static (or global) functions and pass it to your system's constructor.
class SomeClass{
public:
    static bool DoAction() {
        std::cout << "Call to SomeClass::DoAction" << std::endl;
        return false;
    };
};

// you absolutely need this, otherwise your code will be strongly dependent on the real SomeClass implementation
class ISomeClassInterface {
public:
    virtual ~ISomeClassInterface() = default;
    virtual bool DoAction() = 0;
};

/*
 * use it in the production
 * you can even make it a default constructor parameter to simplify objects
 * constructions outside testing env
 */
class RealSomeClassInterface: public ISomeClassInterface {
public:
    ~RealSomeClassInterface() override = default;
    bool DoAction() override {
        // call to real SomeClass
        return SomeClass::DoAction();
    }
};

class MockSomeClassInterface: public ISomeClassInterface {
public:
    ~MockSomeClassInterface() override = default;
      MOCK_METHOD0(DoAction, bool());
};

class System {
public:
    System(std::shared_ptr<ISomeClassInterface> interface): interface_(interface) {}
    // let's imagine this is your code that is dependent on the DoAction return value
    bool DoAction() {
        return interface_->DoAction();
    }
private:
    std::shared_ptr<ISomeClassInterface> interface_;
};

TEST(xxx, yyy) {
    auto realInterface = std::make_shared<RealSomeClassInterface>();
    auto mockInterface =  std::make_shared<MockSomeClassInterface>();
    ON_CALL(*mockInterface, DoAction()).WillByDefault(Return(true));
    System systemWithRealInterface(realInterface);
    System systemWithMockInterface(mockInterface);
    std::cout << "System::DoAction returns: " << systemWithRealInterface.DoAction() << std::endl;
    std::cout << "System::DoAction returns: " << systemWithMockInterface.DoAction() << std::endl;
}

The test output should look like this:
[ RUN      ] xxx.yyy
Call to SomeClass::DoAction
System::DoAction returns: 0

GMOCK WARNING:
Uninteresting mock function call - taking default action specified at:
whatever.cpp:76:
    Function call: DoAction()
          Returns: true
NOTE: You can safely ignore the above warning unless this call should not happen.  Do not suppress it by blindly adding an EXPECT_CALL() if you don't mean to enforce the call.  See https://github.com/google/googletest/blob/master/googlemock/docs/CookBook.md#knowing-when-to-expect for details.

System::DoAction returns: 1
[       OK ] xxx.yyy (0 ms)

You can also do the hack using C++ templates
    template <class T>
    bool DoAction() { return T::DoAction(); }

but I don't like and I don't recommend this solution.

All known proteins kinases talk about a bilobal kinase domains with well conserved structural components. unlike the framework of the free of charge counterparts in alternative. These data claim that the flavonol glycoside scaffold could possibly be used being a template for brand-new inhibitors selective for the RSK family members. was proven to selectively inhibit a particular category of INCB28060 kinases, the p90 ribosomal (RSK) kinases . SL0101 is normally one of just two commercially obtainable selective inhibitors for the N-terminal domains of RSK (the second reason is the unrelated substance BI-D1870 [22, 23]), and takes its useful reagent to dissect the participation of RSK kinases in a variety of biological processes. For instance, it was proven that proliferation of cell lines modeling prostate and breasts cancer tumor was inhibited by SL0101 while no very similar inhibitory impact was noticed with non-cancer cells [10, 24]. These research claim that anti-cancer medicines may be created based on SL0101 as well as perhaps various other related flavonol glycosides. Nevertheless, advancement of inhibitors predicated on SL0101 scaffold continues to be up to now hampered from the lack of structural info that could rationalize the specificity and affinity of relationships of flavonol glycosides with RSK kinases. 3. The RSK kinase family members 3.1 Framework and regulation of RSK kinases Proteins kinases are usually multidomain proteins, using the catalytic kinase website flanked by varied regulatory modules, such as for example, for instance, C1 and C2 domains in proteins kinase C . Six uncommon human proteins kinases consist of two catalytic domains inside a tandem, no additional modules; they are the p90 ribosomal S6 kinases (RSK), which you can find four homologous isoforms (RSK1-4) encoded by specific genes, and two homologous mitogen- and stress-activated kinases, MSK1 and MSK2 [25, 26]. The catalytic tandem includes an N-terminal website which ultimately shows homology towards the AGC category of kinase domains  and a C-terminal INCB28060 website which is definitely homologous INCB28060 towards the Ca2+/calmodulin reliant kinase family members [27, 28]. Space constraints don't allow us to go over the MSK kinases additional with this paper. The C-terminal domains of RSK kinases provide as switches that activate the N-terminal kinase domains (NTKD), which will be the physiologically energetic modules that phosphorylate the cognate focuses on [25, 26, 29]. The four RSK isoforms talk about pair-wise 73C80% amino acidity similarity and show a common pathway of activation. Quickly, RSK kinases are downstream effectors from the extracellular sign triggered kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) . The ERK1/2 activate the C-terminal kinase website by phosphorylation of Thr577 (RSK2 numbering) which causes autophosphorylation of Ser386 in the hydrophobic theme, developing a docking site for the PDK1 kinase (Fig. 2A). The second option binds to the site and phosphorylates Ser227 inside the activation loop with concomitant catalytic activation of NTKD to Mouse monoclonal to EphB3 within 10% of its potential . To attain the optimum catalytic competence, yet another phosphorylation of Ser369 in the so-called switch theme by ERK1/2, or in some instances by another heterologous kinase, is necessary . RSK4 will not seem to need activation by PDK1  departing it constitutively energetic generally in most cells. Open up in another window Number 2 Framework and rules of RSK2 kinase.

OMGosh, that Barbie is BEAUTIFUL!!
OKay... first of all.... I can't believe you told your hubby that you'd want him to be single and lonely if anything happened to you... you're right.... that was SUPER selfish... I'm shocked that came from you. I at least tried to pick a couple of candidates for my hubby if anything happened to me ;-) LOL..... And secondly... don't try to "force" your daughters into any sororities..... you don't know what they want....because they probably don't know what they want.. especially the baby.... for all you know they may choose to be distinguished and prominent Deltas... anyhow... congrats to the AKAs on their beautiful doll.


Despite the wet weather, nothing could spoil the wedding day of the lovely Jo and Paul at the Dorchester Collection's Coworth Park in Ascot.
Having lived in Ascot for several years, I must say I was really looking forward to shooting this wedding, not least because I've dined at Coworth Park and know it's an amazing venue with service that is second to none. Paul and Jo were happy for me to recommend a florist, and so we brought on board my good friend Steph, of Fairy Nuff Flowers, and she did not disappoint.
Unfortunately, the weather decided to misbehave and the heavens opened for all but 10 minutes of the day. Having said that, being the eagle eyed photographer that I am, I seized the opportunity to whip the party outside for some quick group shots and portraits of Jo and Paul. I do have to say though, if it's going to rain on your wedding day, you better hope you have a venue as gorgeous as Coworth Park in terms of beautiful light and amazing backdrops, and I can honestly say this was one wedding the weather could not spoil.
Juliet this is gorgeous. Your images are always so fresh and beautiful.

Window Shopping: How Much Offense Should the Devils be Looking for in Free Agency?
The Devils were a poor offensive team in 2013-14. What approach in free agency do they need to take to get better?
By Mike Stromberg@ColdSportsTakes Jun 25, 2014, 3:00pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Window Shopping: How Much Offense Should the Devils be Looking for in Free Agency?
Sergei Belski-USA TODAY Sports
Under the NHL's new CBA, teams and players entering unrestricted free agency are given essentially a week-long window to make pitches to one another and discuss contract terms before free agency officially opens. This means that by the time the July 1st start to free agency hits, a number of contracts may have already been hammered out behind the scenes. With that window opening today, who should the Devils be targeting to improve their team?
As you all likely know, the Devils' offense last season, particularly at even strength, was about as threatening as a basket of sleepy kittens. At evens, the Devils finished ahead of only the historically awful offense of the Buffalo Sabres in goals/60. In terms of shooting, they were also bringing up the rear at 5v5, finishing 26th overall in shots generated. They finished 27th in total goals in all situations, despite enjoying the league's second-highest power play shooting percentage. Jerry dug into the Devils' power play success a bit back in March and the Devils may have squandered a year with a hot power play, as they finished 9th in conversion rate while generating the third-least shots/60.
Simply put, the Devils need help on offense, and barring a big breakout season from Reid Boucher, help likely isn't coming from within. So will they go look to make a big splash in free agency? Lou Lamoriello's words were non-committal, as ever, as he spoke to Tom Gulitti of Fire & Ice. He maintains that a compliance buyout is "unlikely" but also that "circumstances change," meaning we basically won't have any idea of his intentions until the buyout window closes on June 30th. Whether or not they use their buyout has obvious cap implications and dictates, to an extent, how aggressive they can get in free agency. He maintains that the team wants to make room for the young defensemen, so perhaps something else is in the works, but for now we have very much reached "believe it when you see it" territory for the perpetually inevitable trade. Beyond the buyout concerns, Lou had this to say about going after more offense (again via Fire & Ice):
"There's no question you try to add offense. That's an understatement," Lamoriello said. "But it has to be the right people. In other words, we'll look at everything. Whether something will happen or something won't, it's very difficult (to tell)."
That's a pretty standard Lou "non-answer crafted to look like an answer" but he does seem to recognize (I suppose it would be hard not to) that this team needs help up front.
So how much help do the Devils need? They scored 197 goals this past season with the roster as currently constructed. That fell short of my already paltry preseason estimate from last season (though that estimate did include that Kovalchuk guy), and the urgency this summer is certainly no less than it was last year. To approach the middle of the pack in the league, they need around 20 or so more goals than that. So how do they get there? Honestly, I'm not sure any type of "depth" forward gets this team where it needs to go, offensively, so the Devils may have to go fishing at the deep end of the free agent pool.
Over at Extra Skater, one of the new bells/whistles is the ability to filter results to only include pending UFAs in order to compare numbers for various free agent targets. To start off, lets take a look at the UFA leaders among regulars in goal-scoring rate:
Top Ten In G/60 (Min. 15:00 TOI)
Player Goals/60
Jarome Iginla 1.27
Mike Cammalleri 1.25
Paul Stastny 1.15
Thomas Vanek 1.07
Matt Moulson 1.02
Jussi Jokinen 0.99
Daniel Alfredsson 0.94
Mikhail Grabovski 0.85
Radim Vrbata 0.84
Mason Raymond 0.80
The list is topped by a future Hall-of-Famer in Jarome Iginla, and while it seems like a bit of a pipe dream, the Devils did sign the last old, productive, Hall-of-Fame-type player to leave Boston after a short stint there, so who knows. Stastny, seemingly the consensus big-prize acquisition of this free agent class also sits near the top of the list, though he shot a very high 16.6% (career 12.8% shooter) so he may be due for some regression after his likely big time pay-day. Big-target wingers in Moulson and Vanek both scored at a nice pace for the season, but are two more players unlikely to come cheap.
Mike Cammalleri, rumored as a possible trade target for New Jersey at this past season's trade deadline, is a name that jumps out at me as a possibility. Cammalleri's shot percentage (13.6%) was a little high versus his career average of 11.5%, but he was over a 30-goal pace/82 games and would be a welcome addition if he could bank 25+ goals on the Devils' top line. There are some minor injury concerns as each of his last 4 full seasons have only seen him get into the mid 60s in GP, but he's a guy who can score goals and likely shouldn't come at the same premium as other top wingers like Vanek and Moulson.
Looking at shot rates for available forwards will produce many of the same players towards the top of the list (among those with significant minutes), but a couple who were a little further down in goals will top this list:
Top Ten In SOG/60 (Min. 15:00 TOI)
Player Shots/60
Radim Vrbata 11.0
Brad Richards 10.2
Thomas Vanek 9.9
Mike Cammalleri 9.2
Jarome Iginla 8.8
Jussi Jokinen 8.1
Lee Stempniak 7.9
Daniel Alfredsson 7.9
Matt Moulson 7.8
Brian Gionta 7.6
One surprise is recently bought out Rangers center Brad Richards. Richards put up over 10 shots per 60 this season for the Rangers putting him second among all UFAs. He shot only 7.7% on the season, which indicates he was a little unlucky, but perhaps not as much as one might think, given his career sh% is only 8.9 overall. Richards was bought out not because he wasn't a useful player, but because his contract was unwieldy and included tremendous risk in terms of cap benefit recapture if Richards retired. If Richards can be brought in on a contract with reasonable term and cap hit, he may not be a bad option, but you don't want the Devils dropping the kind of post-buyout contract the Flyers did on Vincent Lecavalier last offseason.
The player who tops the shot efficiency list, Radim Vrbata, is definitely an intriguing case for the Devils. Vrbata flies under the radar a bit because of where he plays, but he has been a solid player for the Coyotes for a while. He tends to be a positive possession player and he consistently piles up shots on net, something the Devils desperately need. If he could be had for similar dollars/term as his last two contracts (3 years, $9M), he could be a good acquisition for this Devils team.
You'll see Jussi Jokinen up on this list as well as he had himself a nice season in Pittsburgh. It's hard to believe Jokinen was waived by the Hurricanes two seasons ago with no takers, given the season he just put up. It's important to note that Jokinen played over half of his time alongside Evgeni Malkin and James Neal, so there were certainly factors working in his favor. His possession WOWYs are still decent away from those two, but you can tell his production slid a bit away from them. Could he be a producer in New Jersey? I think that top line with Jagr and Zajac is a place a lot of different players could succeed, but I'm definitely weary of Jokinen's value being inflated a bit from this season in Pittsburgh.
Who to Go After?
As mentioned earlier, I think the Devils are in need of possibly another 20 goals on offense to solidify their chances of making the postseason, so I believe they will have to reach into their pockets and at least find themselves some middle-tier top-6 free agents. They don't have a ton of room under the cap, particularly if they choose not to exercise their buyout on one of their defensemen, but perhaps that trade we've all been waiting for will materialize instead. Still, there is enough room to make moves since most of the roster is filled at this point. I think the values of some of the bigger free agents like Stastny and Vanek could be a little high in this market so maybe the answer is in a player like a Vrbata or perhaps Grabovski. They could even look the way of a player like Ales Hemsky, as his time buried in Edmonton may not reflect on the his true abilities on a competent team.
There are likely some depth players out there who are being undervalued significantly, but the Devils issue is that they can't really rely on building depth to improve the offense, they need to get better at the top. This means Lou is probably going to have to spend some money one way or another if he wants an offense that can make this team a contender.
So what are your feelings on what the Devils need to do in free agency? Any players who stick out the most to you? Any players you feel could be undervaued right now? Any players you'd like to see the team shy away from? Sound off with your thoughts below and thanks for reading.

Moving Forward, It's Clear: It's Not the Offense For the most part of this "rebuild," the offense has been the main area that has been in need of an upgrade. Scoring has been a huge issue. This year, as we hit mid-season, preventing goals against is now the biggest issue.

What's better, myLot or Review Stream? I've been a member of mylot longer than I have in Review Stream but I've definitely earned more by writing reviews. It seems that a full day's work at myLot (in my case, that's around 10-15 posts) will earn me as much as Review Stream will pay for just a single review! Amazing isn't it? Still, I continue myLotting because it's fun and less stressful. What about you, any thoughts on this?
Hi! I have a friend in myLot who got paid by Review Stream. But their downside is that they have to approve first your review before it got published. It's like your review is being reviewed, hehe.. Anyway, there's another popular site where you can write reviews about their featured products. Your review is published right after you finished it, and you can get to edit it anytime you want. Other authors can comment to your review so you can re-write them if they think it needed editing. It's like a myLot site wherein you can comment on other's work and rate their reviews. If you want to join that site, send me a message and I'll send you an invite. ^^v They pay 1 dollar for each review. ^^v $5 is the minimum payout.
yeah, I think that because for each myLot post/discussion/comment you get like $0.01, doesn't matter how long it is. In Review Stream, you can get like 2 dollars per approved review, and you get some cents when people vote for your review.
I like being in myLot since I don't need to look for products to review on. There are lots of topics to choose from, anything under the sun. Writing a review is stressful since you have to think very carefully since it's like selling a particular product. Here you can write whatever and whenever, join discussions that suits you best, and have fun at the same time. ^^v Earning here in myLot is slow but actually serves as a de-stressor for me.
I think you get more than $0.01 per post here on mylot. I tried calculating it before and it was around $0.025 for me. It's hard to compute the rates though because there are other factors that affect your earning. You're right, of course. Mylot is more stress-free and enjoyable.
Mimico that was a good analyse. Yo have summed it up very well and I agree with you there. Mylottiong is fun and I love the interactions here. It's so energising and motivating. I love to come back to this place time and gain. It's like my breather. Happy mylotting.
Wow we almost have the same name!!
It takes you a full day to make 10-15 posts on myLot? Why? I can understand people that only have a few minutes here and there not being able to make many posts, but a full day? What do you consider a full day? To me, writing reviews might be ok, but they require a lot more thought, and you do have to think of what to review. myLot is a lot simpler (for me). You read, then respond with whatever pops into your head.
Hi, I think you misunderstand. I don't do much during the day so I mylot whenever I'm bored or have nothing else to do. I don't spend a few minutes here than never come back again haha. SO maybe I'll do 5 posts in the morning, another 5 in the afternoon and 2 or more before I sleep...I'm sure if I sit down and spend an hour here I'd be able to post more.
Hi there. I haven't really tried out Review Stream but I've read positive reviews about the site (yours included) so I'm looking into trying it out myself. However, being the lazy person that I am, I think that I would still prefer myLot, in spite of the lower earnings, because it's easier to be spontaneous and random and to express myself here whereas writing reviews does require some mental effort. I promised myself to give the site a try though, the next time that I'm in a writing mood.

Historic snowfall buries parts of Central Alberta. Shatters all time 24 hour snowfall record.
A intense and compact storm had dumped upwards of 40cm+ on areas to the south of Edmonton while leaving the city itself completely free of snow.
Currently an area of heavy snow has stalled over the area, if it lasts into the evening it May be possible to see totals in excess of 50cm locally. There has never been a snowstorm in this area to drop more than 50cm in 24 hours. The only reason we may not see this in the record books is the fact the area does not have a long running record of snowfall acumulations.
Wetaskiwin measured at 37cm as of noon. This shattered the all time 24 hour snowfall record of 31cm set on Apr 27 1988.
All time records in nearby areas are in the 30-40cm range so This is the most snow these areas have ever had dumped on them. Ever!
To make matters worse the record shattering snow dump is expected to completely melt in ~24 hours and major flooding is a real possibility.


Trump's international trips are often clouded by the Mueller investigation. The G20 is no different.
Michael Cohen, who pleaded guilty to making false statements to Congress in the Mueller investigation, exits federal court.
Hanging over Trump's second G20 summit is the latest twist in special counsel Robert Mueller's ongoing investigation -- and it's not the first time the investigation has followed the President outside the United States.
Mueller was appointed as special counsel just two days before Trump's first international trip last May. Trump has expressed before in public and private that the investigation has hampered his diplomatic efforts on the world stage.
While on his flight back to Washington from the G20 last July, Trump and his aides worked to craft a statement on behalf of Donald Trump Jr. concerning the now-infamous meeting with a Russian lawyer at Trump Tower a year prior.
A year later, as the President prepared to fly to Helsinki to meet with Putin, the Justice Department announced the indictment of Russian intelligence officers linked to election interference.
Michael Cohen's plea agreement on Thursday is the latest example, and soon after the news emerged Trump moved to scrap his meeting with Putin. The White House insists the cancellation was because of the escalating Russia-Ukraine conflict, even though no new information had publicly emerged.

The Rim Confederacy Book 3
By: Jim Rudnick
Narrated by: Eric Martin
Series: Rim Confederacy, Book 3
Categories: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary
"After a failed planetary rebellion, the rebel leader and his men are all given life sentences on Halberd, the RIM Confederacy prison planet and sent to the maximum island penitentiary - a prison that has never had a successful escape.
And under his admiral's orders, Captain Tanner Scott has also been sent to do RIM Navy duty on the planet with the mission to give up his alcohol dependency. While he knows that this is what is expected of him by the admiral, he finds it more difficult to do that he'd ever imagined.
Tanner meets a woman - the sister of the rebel leader and while he falls in love with her, he is not sure that the feeling is mutual. Yet he tries to straighten out his life and his drinking but instead he is faced with the choice of a lifetime - love or death.
Against incredible odds in the middle of a prison planet escape, he makes his choice...and more than his own life depends upon that choice...forever changing the future of the RIM!"

Love Captain Scott
Good space opera story, even if the individual installments are a little short. the pacing is decent and plot lines are varied and not too obvious. Prison planet isn't the best one yet, but big moves for the characters occur.
Another Brilliant Book from Rudnick
What did you love best about Prison Planet?
I am a big fan of this series, and really like how it has developed
What was one of the most memorable moments of Prison Planet?
When Captain Tanner Scott was forced to kill someone for whom he had a personal connection
Which scene was your favorite?
The whole book was good
Eric Martin exceptional job through out the RIM Confederacy series. This one is much the same as the others, but all of them are excellent. He has a great voice that is very easy to listen to. He does a great range of voices for both genders, does different levels of emotions well, and is clear in his speech.

Another Brilliant Book from Rudnick!
Would you listen to Prison Planet again? Why?
Absolutely - The great thing about this series is that it is easily one that you can listen to again, and pick up things that you did not get the first time around. It has such great characters, is so easy to listen to (or read) and enjoy, that it is a lot of fun to go back and re-live the adventure again.
My favourite character in all of the series has to be Lady St August. Her tenacity, the dialogue she comes out with, her attitude are just fantastic and make the book so much better.
What does Eric Martin bring to the story that you wouldn't experience if you just read the book?
Only through the other RIM Confederacy titles. This one is much the same as the others, but all of them are excellent. He has a great voice that is very easy to listen to. He does a great range of voices for both genders, does different levels of emotions well, and is clear in his speech. He really adds something to the story in its telling that you wouldn't get from just reading it, making it so much better to listen to
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
All of the RIM Confederacy books are ones that you want to sit down and listen to in a single sitting, especially the first time. Then you can go back and listen to them again a second or third time and get even more out of them.
Prison Planet was fantastic, giving us a greater insight into Captain Scott. It really gives us a reason for his drinking, but shows us a lot more of the man he is, the demons he faces, his alcoholism and his PTSD. It shows a lot of the inner struggle that makes up the Captain and the fight that he goes through each and every day. It was a brilliant peice of character writing showing the true depth of who Tanner Scott is.
Rudnick writes so well as he combines the Military, Royalty and Political situations into a story as well as the personalities of a few key characters to tell an interesting and engaging story. This is Military Sci-Fi as it should be, interesting, detailed, exciting, fun, with some really fast paced and well described combat scenes, as well as brilliant dialogue and intrigue across sectors of space. This is an outstanding addition to the series.
Good book that continues the series!
A continuation of the Rim Confederacy story-line. Worth the credit.

No one escapes!!
Good story, Captain Scott has been told to clean up his act and is sent to be the Rim Navy presence at the Prison Planet. Given a year to sober up, this book moves along nicely but still seems to spend to much time on drinking!! Capt Scott is better in this book, but still lacks something as a leading character.
Well read by Eric Martin, delivers a polished performance again and is easy to listen too.

Very difficult to follow.
I found it hard to follow when starting on the third book in the series.

This entry takes some interesting turns
I am a big fan of this series, and really like how it has developed until the end of this book. This book took what i think of as a weird turn at the end, though, so weird in fact that I was left scratching my head, saying huh? The rest of the book is good, with the Captain and crew of the Merwick stationed on the RC's prison planet as the navy presence as punishment for the Captain being a falling down drunk and the crew covering for him. Some exiles from the royal family of the Caliphate are imprisoned there, and attempt to escape/assassinate some government officials. Well, Captain Tanner Scott is not putting up with that. The Lady St. August is up to her neck in intrigue again, as is the Baroness, which leads to the surprise ending. Lets just say you wont see it coming. The characters are well drawn, although not particularly sympathetic, and the setting is realistic. The battles are well plotted, and the plot is fast paced and keeps the reader interested. The ending just left me a little cold, though. Eric martin did a great job as usual to bring the story to life, giving each character a unique voice. Fans of jack Campbell and H. Paul Honsinger should enjoy this series.
I was given a review copy of this audiobook free of charge in return for an honest review from Audiobook Blast.
An improving story line
The series has developed through the 3 books and this book has brought the story to a new and stronger point. There was more interaction between the characters and a lot of intrigue.
What other book might you compare Prison Planet to and why?
I really can't compare this book to any other since the concept is unique.
What about Eric Martin's performance did you like?
Eric Martin did an exceptional job on this book in his narration. Well spoken and very understandable. He also put a great deal of feeling into his performance. I was able to differentiate the various characters and he did a great job of injecting both excitement and grief felt by them.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When Scott was forced to kill someone for whom he had a personal connection
"I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via AudiobookBlast dot com"
This series started out as only good. It has developed into a much stronger story line and you actually can feel the anguish of the characters.
The idea of a space going empire(s) still hung up on the royalty issue is a bit far fetched but worse has happened throughout history. The personal trials of the characters make for fine theater also. This book lacked a lot of drama as it simply developed a situation that had to be resolved and carried through.
The book did leave the main character at a major crossroads in their life though. I look forward to see how this resolves itself.


As there are an increasing number of people interested in penny stocks, We thought we should put together a page talking about the best penny stock brokers. The list of suitable brokers used to be larger, but many brokers asked us to remove them from this page as they didn't want penny stock clients.
E-Trade are a popular broker. Whilst they are a great stock broker, they also offer many other instruments such as forex, futures, options etc.
They have been around for over 30 years. Currently they charge as little as $4.95 per stock trade. There are also no extra fees for penny stocks.
Currently they have a fantastic promotion where you can trade FREE for 90 days. Also, if you deposit more than $10,000 you get an additional bonus of up to $2,500 depending on the amount you deposit.
Ally Invest (formerly Tradeking) have been around for more than 10 years now and are well known for being a low-cost broker. They aren't one of the bigger players, but they have been steadily growing.
Trades are charged at a flat $4.95 each.
There is no minimum account size to worry about either. Other useful features including a busy forum, a great trading platform and decent customer service.
Tradestation have been around since 1982. They recently lowered their commission structure to make them one of the most competitive brokers around. They now charge just $5 per trade.
One of Tradestations strongest points is their trading platform. It is certainly the most indepth platform I have ever used. It's free too. They also have very comprehensive historical data that can be really helpful when planning and testing your strategies.
Tradestation have also won major awards in recent years including the top award for "Best for Frequent Traders".
Penny stocks – also known as micro-cap stocks(stocks with a market capitalization of $300 million or less) – are stocks that trade for less than a $1, according to the definition used by most traders. The Securities and Exchange Commission defines a penny stock as one trading below $5, but most traders use the $1 standard because it is less inclusive.
What does all of that mean? For starters, penny stocks are cheap – very cheap. You can buy shares of a company for a penny. At that price, one thousand shares will cost only $10. Because of this, though, it can be hard to sell shares that you have because there aren't as many traders interested in the stock as there are with other, more valuable stocks.
Part of this is because of where these stocks are traded, as we'll talk about below. So, while you may get a thousand shares, there's no guarantee you'll be able to sell them when you want.
Plus, the price of penny stocks often fluctuates drastically. It's not unusual to see wild upticks – and downticks – over the space of a trading day, just because these shares are so susceptible to trading (again, a product of low liquidity).
So, while penny stocks offer great upside potential for profit, they are also risky and prone to speculation. Caution should be used when trading these stocks; they're not for beginners.
Once you've made the decision to try your hand at these particular assets, where do you go?
So How Do You Buy Penny Stocks Online?
You can actually find penny stocks on virtually all major exchanges, although rules vary on how long a micro-cap gets to stay listed on the exchange. The New York Stock Exchange, for example, delists a micro-cap stock if it trades below $1 for 30 consecutive trading sessions.
NASDAQ has a policy of delisting companies with a minimum bid price of below $5 for 30 consecutive trading sessions, and delists companies after 90 calendar days. For any stock listed on a major exchange, you can use one of the penny stock brokerages above.
OTCBB: The OTC (Over-The-Counter) Bulletin Board is an electronic quoting system for buying and selling stocks outside of a formal exchange. This is a way to combine quotes from brokers and market makers operating over various electronic communication networks (ECN) in one location for investors to see. Penny stocks are commonly found here because they cannot meet the listing requirements for major exchanges.
Pink Sheets: Similar to OTCBB, with even fewer filing requirements. This system is operated by a competitor to OTCBB, OTC Markets Group, Inc.
OTCQX: This tier contains companies that meet certain standards and are reviewed by OTC Markets Group.
OTCQB: This tier is for companies that are registered with the SEC or another banking regulator and regularly file reports. No financial standards are required to be met.
OTC Pink: This is the least regulated tier of the three; many companies have little to no public disclosure.
The most important thing to do, by far, when buying penny stocks is to conduct thorough research. Research is everything because there isn't usually a lot of information out there in plain sight about these companies.
You have to dig a bit to find the financial data you need for an informed choice, and unless you are able to research and find info about earnings, EPS, P/E ratios, growth, and other key data, you'll be in the dark.
Take your time when choosing a broker for penny stocks, or any type of stock for that matter. Your broker can have a serious effect on your bottom line when trading.
Also, keep in mind that trading penny stocks means dealing with assets that can be very illiquid. If there isn't a lot of activity in the stock, you should look elsewhere first; while you may be able to buy, it's not a guarantee that you'll be able to sell your shares.
The potential for big gains is there, but so is the potential for big losses. Exercise caution and do your research before trading.

How much sun and sunscreen are best for baby.
There's no question that sunshine makes people feel good. In areas of the country that suffer through harsh winters, the onset of warm, sunny days feels liberating. Children can go outside without wearing layers of clothing. They can run through the grass, swing in the park, and enjoy the beach and pool.
Sunshine also activates the body's production of vitamin D -- which is important for building strong bones and teeth. So your child even reaps medical benefits from getting the sun's rays. However -- as with any good thing -- too much can be a problem.
Though it's tempting to revel in the warm weather when the seasons change, be careful. When the first hot days arrive, expose your child for gradually increasing periods before letting her play outside for long amounts of time. The body needs time to adapt to heat.
Sunburn is the most obvious harmful result of catching too many rays, but the sun can also cause other problems. Here's how to make sure your child has a happy, healthy summer -- in or out of the sunshine.
Every sunburn a child experiences is not only painful but also raises her risk of getting skin cancer, so it's important to protect a baby's delicate skin. You can do so by covering her up, using sunscreen correctly and regularly, and only allowing her to be out in the sun at the safest times of the day.
The sun's rays are most punishing during the midday hours, so try to time outings and playtimes before 10 a.m. or after 3 p.m. Always put sunscreen on your infant -- even a newborn -- before heading out, paying special attention to his cheeks, the backs of his hands, and the tops of his feet.
Choose a sunscreen with an SPF (sun protection factor) of at least 15. SPF refers to the length of time a person can remain in the sun before turning red. The higher the SPF, the longer a person can stay out, but the amount of time is also influenced by skin type.
For example, if you have a medium complexion, you would multiply an SPF of 15 by a "sun factor" of 10, meaning you could stay out in the sun for about 150 minutes before burning. The sun factor will be lower if you have fairer skin, so even using the same SPF, a fair-skinned person can't stay in the sun for as long as someone with darker skin.
Children's skin is thinner and more sensitive than adults' skin, and is thus more vulnerable to the elements. So be cautious about letting your baby or toddler stay out in the sun for as long as a sunscreen's SPF number technically allows. Sunscreens made for children usually come in higher SPFs -- ranging from 30 to 50 -- because kids need more protection.
But even when they use a high SPF, parents sometimes come into my office with a sunburned child, mystified. This usually happens because they didn't use the sunscreen properly. In order for a product to work, you must apply it 30 minutes before leaving the house. Then reapply when you first arrive at the beach, park, or pool. Repeat the application after swimming and toweling off (yes, even if the sunscreen is waterproof); after perspiring; or at least every two hours. Reapplication is almost more important than the SPF level.
Also, be sure to use enough sunscreen and to rub it in well. A quarter-size dollop covers only about one toddler arm. Don't forget about often overlooked areas such as the backs of hands and the tops of ears and toes. To get a wiggly toddler to stand still, make a game out of applying it ("This is the way we put on sunscreen, put on sunscreen...").
However, don't let sunscreen give you a false sense of security. Babies younger than 6 months should be kept out of direct sunlight -- even with lotion. Not only is their skin extremely sensitive to burning, but their eyes can be damaged, too. Children older than 6 months can wear sunglasses (check the label to make sure the glasses screen for UV rays).
All children should also wear hats to protect their face -- the best kinds have a wide brim and a flap that covers the ears and neck. Summer clothes don't offer a lot of protection from the sun, especially if they get wet. If your child has sensitive skin -- say, red hair and a fair complexion -- you can purchase clothes that have a built-in sunscreen.
These clothes have an Ultraviolet Protective Factor (UPF) rating on their label; a rating of 20, for instance, means that the clothing allows only one-twentieth of the sun's radiation to reach the skin. RIT, the dye manufacturer, also make a wash-in sunscreen product you can use on clothes.
If you're taking your baby into a pool, make sure the water is warm enough -- preferably 80 degrees F or more. Most ocean water is too cold, although holding your infant and letting some waves splash onto the two of you is always fun. If your baby has a hat and sunscreen on, enjoy yourselves, but only for a few minutes.
The best protection is to limit your child's time in the sun to short periods -- for instance, take your baby into the pool for 15 minutes or let your toddler run in the park for 20 minutes, then get her into the shade. Bring an umbrella to the beach and keep your infant under the stroller canopy when you can. Be aware that even under a tree or an umbrella, or in other shady spots, there is still a reflected glare of sunlight or light filtering through from above.
Have you heard people say "It's not the heat, it's the humidity"? They are correct to a certain extent. Whatever the temperature, the effect is exaggerated when the humidity is high. That's because humidity refers to the moisture in the air -- and the more moisture there is, the less perspiration can evaporate off the surface of your skin to help your body cool down in hot weather.
The heat index calculates the temperature your body feels due to the combined effect of heat and humidity. A 90-degree day, for example, is effectively 106 degrees if the humidity is 70 percent. At that level, heat exhaustion (weakness, nausea, and dizziness) and heatstroke (fainting) are possible.
Don't allow your toddler to engage in strenuous play when the heat index tops 90. The heat index may be given as part of your local weather report.
If you're going to be out in hot weather for a while, make sure your toddler or preschooler drinks several ounces of water beforehand. Children who are playing don't respond to their body's needs until they're in trouble.
By the time your child complains of thirst, he could be on the brink of dehydration. Offer your child something to drink every 30 minutes while you're out, as well. Plain water is the best -- you don't need to give sports drinks or electrolyte solutions -- but flavoring the water with a little juice may make him drink more. If your child is flushed and hot, insist that he rest in the shade. Cool off his skin with water from a wading pool, hose, spray bottle, or drinking fountain.
Also, be aware of metal that can heat up in the sun and burn your child, including slides and swings at the playground and the metal parts of car seat safety straps. Touch these surfaces with your fingers to test them before your child comes into contact with them.
A less serious heat-related condition is called prickly heat or miliaria. These tiny red bumps form when sweat glands plug up. The rash usually appears in the folds of a child's neck or on his arms, where sweat and moisture get trapped.
If the rash doesn't clear up, gets worse, or spreads, call your doctor; it may be another skin problem. To prevent heat rash in the first place, keep your child's skin as cool as possible and dress her in loose, cotton clothing. Hot weather can also cause or exacerbate diaper rash. Change your baby's diaper frequently on hot days, even if she's not wet, because heat causes moisture to build up and chafe baby's delicate skin. And when possible, let your child run around without a diaper for a while.
It's better to be safe than sorry. Keeping these prevention pointers in mind will help you enjoy the long, hot summer safely with your little one.

Stemcell Therapy
Stemcell Therapy: From Translational Hurdles to New Frontiers
It is an old human dream to regrow lost parts of the body much like certain fish and amphibians can. Regenerative medicine has
revived this dream and has made impressive progress on the experimental level.[1]
In rodents, dead tissue as it develops in acute myocardial infarction can replace with a variety of progenitor cells,
while most patients—unless they are revascularized in a timely fashion—end up with a large scar, remodelling,
and eventually heart failure and death. Unfortunately, clinical trials with different progenitor cells have, in contrast to
experimental findings, yielded disappointing results thus far,[2–7] possibly because of ageing and dysfunction of these cells.[8]
This Issue addresse in a Current Opinion entitled
'The consensus of the Task Force of the European Society of Cardiology concerning the clinical investigation of
the use of autologous adult stem cells for the treatment of Acute Myocardial Infarction and
Heart Failure-update 2016'
by the European Society of Cardiology Task Force for Stem Cells in Cardiovascular Disease.[9]
The Task Force issued its first consensus document in 2006. Since then there has been great progress in the field, although the
indications and future direction of cell therapy in cardiovascular disease remain unclear. In their paper, the group presents their
current thinking on what has been learned in the past 10 years and what recommendations can be drawn for the future.
NUTRI COMPLEX
Intracoronary infusion of autologous nucleated bone marrow cells enhanced the recovery of left ventricular ejection fraction
after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in the randomized controlled, open-label BOOST trial.[10] Kai C.
Wollert and colleagues from the Hannover Medical School in Germany reassessed the therapeutic potential of nucleated bone
marrow cells in their article
'Intracoronary autologous bone marrow cell transfer after myocardial infarction:
the BOOST-2randomizedplacebo-controlled clinical trial'.[11]
The randomized placebo-controlled, double-blind
BOOST-2 trial was conducted in 10 centres in Germany and Norway in 153 patients with large ST-segment elevation myocardial
infarction using a multiple arm design investigating the dose–response relationship and exploring whether γ-irradiation which
eliminates the clonogenic potential of stem and progenitor cells has an impact on bone marrow cell efficacy.
Patients were randomly assigned to receive a single intracoronary infusion of placebo (control group),
high-dose or low-dose bone marrow cells, or irradiated high-dose or low-dose bone marrow cells.
Overall, baseline left ventricular ejection fraction as determined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was 45%.
At 6 months, left ventricular ejection fraction increased by 3.3% in the control group and 4.3% in the high-dose cell group.
The estimated treatment effect was 1.0%, while that of low-dose bone marrow cells was 0.5%. Likewise, irradiated bone marrow
cells did not have significant treatment effects. Thus, the BOOST-2 trial does not support the use of nucleated bone marrow cells
in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, and moderately reduced left ventricular ejection fraction.
These results are further discussed in a thought-provoking Editorial by Jozef Bartunek from the O.L.V. Ziekenhuis, Cardiovascular Center in Aalst, Belgium.[12]
HA-COMPLEX
Another approach of regenerative therapy is the use of cardiosphere-derived cells[13] which have exhibited several favourable effects on heart structure and function in pre-clinical models; however, the effects of cardiosphere-derived cells on ageing have not been evaluated. Diastolic dysfunction is characteristic of aged hearts. In a Basic Science paper entitled
'Cardiac and systemic rejuvenation after cardiosphere-derived cell therapy in senescent rats',
Eduardo Marban and colleagues from the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California (USA) assessed the effects of cardiosphere-derived cells on heart structure, function, gene expression, and systemic parameters in aged rats.[14] They compared intracardiac injections of neonatal rat cardiosphere-derived cells with vehicle in 22-month-old or 4-months-old rats.
Transcriptomic analysis revealed that cardiosphere-derived cells recapitulated a youthful pattern of gene expression in the hearts of old animals, with 86% of the genes being differentially expressed. Of note, in rats receiving cardiosphere-derived cells, telomeres were longer in cardiac cells. Furthermore, cardiosphere-derived cells attenuated hypertrophy by echo and decreased cardiomyocyte area and myocardial fibrosis at histology. Cardiosphere-derived cell injection also improved diastolic dysfunction and lowered serum brain natriuretic peptide (Figure 1). In old rats transplanted with cardiosphere-derived cells, exercise capacity increased by ~20%, body weight decreased by ~30%, and hair regrowth after shaving was more robust.
Serum biomarkers of inflammation such as interleukin-10, interleukin-1βb, and interleukin-6 improved in the cardiosphere-derived cells group. In culture, young cardiosphere-derived cells secreted exosomes which increased telomerase activity, elongates telomere length, and reduces the number of senescent human heart cells. Thus, it appears that young cardiosphere-derived cells rejuvenate old animals as gauged by cardiac gene expression, heart function, exercise capacity, and systemic biomarkers. These promising findings put into context in an Editorial by Francisco Fernandez-Aviles from the Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón in Madrid, Spain.[15]
FIRM-COCKTAIL
A completely novel concept of atherogenesis is the microbiome and its product that influence cardiovascular structure and function.[16] In stable coronary artery disease as well as in acute coronary syndromes,[17] the microbiome product trimethyl-N-oxide or TMAO and others[18,19] turned out to be prognostic beyond that of classical risk factors. In a Meta-Analysis article entitled
'Gut microbe-generated metabolite trimethylamine-N-oxide as cardiovascular risk biomarker: a systematic review and dose–response meta-analysis',
Cinzia Perrino and colleagues from the University of Naples Federico II in Italy noted that the gut microbiota-derived metabolite TMAO is emerging as a new potentially important cause of increased cardiovascular risk.[20] The purpose of this meta-analysis was systematically to estimate and quantify the association between TMAO plasma levels, mortality, and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. MEDLINE, ISI Web of Science, and SCOPUS databases were searched for ad hoc studies published up to April 2017. A total of 17 clinical studies that enrolled 26 167 individuals included in the analytic
synthesis. High TMAO plasma levels were associated with increased incidence of all-cause mortality with a hazard ratio of 1.91, and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events with a hazard ratio of 1.67 (Figure 2). Dose–response meta-analysis revealed that the relative risk for all-cause mortality increased by 7.6% for each 10 μmol/L increment of TMAO. Association of TMAO and mortality persisted in all examined subgroups and across all subject populations. Thus, this is the first systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrating the positive dose-dependent association between TMAO plasma levels and increased cardiovascular risk and mortality.

Next on my dwindling agenda was to install the new shaft, which had recently arrived from the machine shop. A bench-fit showed that the coupling was too tight a fit, so I cleaned up the inside a bit until I could slip the coupling over the shaft with acceptable ease. I double-checked the length of the new shaft against my original measurements to ensure it was what I'd asked for (it was).
I slipped the shaft through the stern tube, and from inside the boat installed the packing nut over the end, then installed the split coupling and key, securing it with the shaft setscrew and the two coupling bolts to squeeze the coupling together. With the coupling installed, but before installing the sacrificial coupling section, I completed the final engine alignment, adjusting the mounts as needed to bring the transmission and shaft couplings into alignment. Once aligned, I tightened all the mounting studs and bolts to affix the engine permanently.
Now I moved the shaft back a bit to make space, and completed the installation with the sacrificial plastic coupling, which bolted between the shaft and transmission couplings to provide electrical isolation, a bit of alignment forgiveness, and as a failsafe to help prevent damage to the transmission should the propeller hit an immobile object.
I completed the installation with the new propeller. This is a Campbell Sailer size 11×6.
I tried the fit of a prop nut zinc assembly, but unfortunately there wasn't enough clearance in the tight aperture even for the nut itself.
As a final step, I tightened down the stuffing box nut, tightening it more than would ultimately be necessary so that upon launching, there'd be no unexpected nor unwelcome surprises from the stuffing box; it would require proper adjustment at that time, however.

EXHIBITIONS/PERFORMANCE
Emotion Collection 2011
This project has focused on the clothed body as a site for production of meaning, performance and communication through design. It exposes the role of clothing design as a generator of performance and communication through design. The project has explored the clothed body as visual and embodied narrative and the outcome of the work is three short 'fashion performance' films produced in collaboration with a dancer Fukiko Takase (Wayne McGregor's 'Random Dance'), filmmaker Timothy Keeling and myself as the designer. This work has enabled me to take into account how the emotional and physical factors as well as the location and site of the body itself contributes to the making, intention and reading of work in the context of hybrid fashion and performance practice.
The project has extended through design and analysis an exploration of memory, emotion, psychology, embodied and haptic experience drawing on interviews with a wide range of participants to record personal histories, experience and recollections of wearing clothing. Design is informed by this research into how the memory of clothing effects behavioural and emotional response and seeks to engage and communicate with wearers and viewers through this shared embodied understanding of clothing and emotion.
Blue Air Dress
From these interviews the most common emotional associations and retelling of embodied experience of wearing clothing were in relation to the feeling and sensory aspects of clothing, for example comfortable clothing, restrictive clothing, movement and freedom of movement some of these particular stories are designed into the Blue Air dress and film. Aesthetic aspects were evident in all the interviews but varied hugely, the aesthetic of the work comes from the particular emotions and memories and through the design process. The garment tells a story of being dressed up, feminine and desirable but feeling uncomfortable and wanting to feel the air between the body and clothing, to achieve freedom and a different form of sensuality. The garment references a range of cultures and experiences from the stories told.
Black Point Dress
The Black Point Dress draws on a significant recurring theme emerging from the interviews that related to the look and signification of clothing. Many of the interviewees spoke of the need to express personal identity within generic garments such as school uniforms, to make clothes their own. Conversely many also discussed finding a sub cultural identity through clothing. These memories were particularly strong in almost all of the interviews undertaken. The garment reflects the potential for physical exploration and a multitude of possibilities in an abstract and repetitive form. The garment reflects many of the issues raised by the interviews such as personal space, acceptance, struggle with femininity, rebellion, difference etc.
The garments were explored physically before the final film shoot in improvisational situations where the performer was not aware of the themes and narrative fragments that had informed the designs. The dancer found her own meaning in the garments through physical exploration and then analysis of her experience was recorded as was the designers and film makers responses. The collaboration towards the films from this point drew on a shared emotional and experiential reaction that was informed for each of us by our own memories of wearing clothing and in response to the dancers physical and emotional responses.
