Pitch Round Table: Come At Me Bro!
Jasmine Blu at October 11, 2016 1:00 pm .
On Pitch Season 1 Episode 3, the gloves came off and more than a few men were down!
Ginny instigated a beanball war and a brawl, but she earned the respect of, and gained a new friend. We were introduced to Ginny's ex, Trevor, in the past and in the present. Al proved why he's the man in charge as he skillfully saved his job, and Mike and Amelia got to know each other...intimately.
Below, TV Fanatics Jim Garner, Ashley Bissette Sumerel, Allison Nichols and Christine Laskodi discuss Mike and Amelia hooking up, that amazing rumble on the field, whether or not Trevor was a nice guy and the budding or begrudging friendship between Tommy and Ginny.
Were you impressed with Al's ability to save his job? Also, did it seem like they resolved this issue too quickly?
Jim: I loved, loved, LOVED how Al was able to save his job. I'm more surprised that others had not considered the optics on firing him the way Al had. As for how long it took, I don't think we've seen the last of this power-play. Al's job maybe safe, but I expect we will see more of the struggle.
Ashley: Yes and maybe. Honestly, I think this episode went a long way in making Al more likable, and I'm glad for that. I guess it does seem like it was resolved kind of quickly, but I agree with Jim that we'll still see some conflict.
Allison: I was definitely surprised that no one else had thought of Al's firing from a PR perspective. Considering that we've seen how good Al is at putting his foot in his mouth, I wasn't expecting him to be so PR savvy. It was pleasantly surprising.
Christine: I agree with a little bit of what everyone said. I really loved how PR savvy Al turned out to be, and I'm glad that he's still got his job. But I also think it was resolved really quickly. I'd have liked to have seen that stretched out a little longer.
Beanball got back to the sports action and ran with it. On a scale of 1-10 how entertaining was Ginny literally instigating a full on brawl?
Jim: The moment that the bullpen emptied it went to 11. I loved that it was Tommy who had her back more than anyone else. Clearly he's rethinking his impression of her.
Ashley: 10. I love that moment so much!
Allison: I absolutely loved that moment. I may have rewound the episode just so I could watch it again.
Christine: What was the highest number? 11? I give it a 12! Might be my favorite moment of the series thus far.
Quotables for Week Ending October 7, 2016
Did you expect to ever see Tommy and Ginny in a bromance?
Jim: I figured Tommy might come around, but I really wasn't expecting it so quickly. Granted, they've only taken baby steps, but still it was progress right?
Ashley: I think the bromance is going to be between Mike and Ginny, but I'm definitely excited to see that Tommy warmed up to her.
Allison: I'm honestly just glad that Tommy saw what Ginny was doing for him, and he showed that he wasn't a complete ass. I'm definitely more of a fan of the Mike and Ginny relationship, but I'm all for Ginny winning over her teammates.
Christine: I figured that eventually they'd form a friendship. I'm glad he's finally warming up to her. I don't know that they'll ever be as close as she is with Mike or with Blip, but it's nice to see another player on her side.
Mike and Amelia slept together, but they're trying to keep things quiet for Ginny's sake. How long do you think that can last and what are your thoughts on this not quite "love triangle?"
Jim: I thought when Amelia mentioned to Mike that Ginny had his poster and rookie card was that it was nice that she doesn't want to see Ginny hurt. However, after seeing how adamant Ginny is about not dating players, I feel like they can tell her sooner rather than later and she will be ok. She's still crushing on Mike, but the way things went with Trevor, I doubt she's going to risk breaking her rule again anytime soon.
Ashley: Again, I really hope the relationship between Mike and Ginny remains platonic. At this point, he's more her mentor and her friend than anything else. I much prefer the idea of something between Mike and Amelia, and yes, it's definitely going to be an issue if she's not honest about it soon. I think it could still cause drama if they hide it.
Allison: I want platonic Mike and Ginny as well. IF we do a romance between them, I expect it not to happen for at least another season. They need to build up their relationship first, and I actually love them as friends. I'm hoping that whenever that secret comes out it doesn't cause too much drama. It would be too predictable.
Christine: I want a romance with Mike and Ginny, but I want a slow burn. I want to see Ginny accomplish her career goals first and foremost, and have that romance with Mike come after, otherwise it negates what the show is trying to create in Ginny's role. But their chemistry is undeniable and their relationship HAS to go there.
She had him on her wall, guys! I think she's going to be more hurt than anything when she finds out that two people she trusts are omitting some truth behind her back, and THAT will be the spark that ignites some of that romantic stuff between Mike and Ginny.

What did you think about Trevor misleading Ginny in the flashbacks? And how long do you think it'll be before those pictures come out?
Jim: I was confused on Trevor misleading her or not. It sounded like he was planning on quitting if the trade hadn't happened. But then he mentioned the scout, so I'm not sure if he even knew if he was staying or not. As for the pictures... I give it 2 episodes max. They wouldn't drop a huge hook like that and not take advantage of it fairly quickly. Watch for that scene in a "previously on" segment and that's the night it will happen.
Ashley: I think Trevor seemed like a nice guy, but I do think he misled her, and that's upsetting. I'm sure the pictures will come out at the worst possible time...
Allison: I mean he's Dolls on Wynonna Earp, so I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he did intend to quit if he wasn't traded up. My guess is that the pictures will pop up within the first half of the season.
Christine: I wanted to like Trevor! But something didn't add up. He definitely misled her. Those pictures are Chekhov's gun. They'll make their appearance when the time is right and everyone has (mostly) forgotten about them.
What was your favorite quote or scene?
Jim: Al: "I find that people who underestimate me are often surprised." -- by far the best line Al said all night.
Ashley: I love that Mike had this sort of meta thing happening, with the fact that Ginny used to have posters of him on her wall, and then his comment about the beard being a different image of him than what the posters would have been. Basically, that was just MPG talking about Saved by the Bell posters, and I thought it was SO funny.
Allison: I absolutely loved the brawl. I loved Ginny getting upset that the guy wouldn't hit her, and then Tommy came out and tackled Trevor. I also loved that some of the team members were all out fighting, and others were just playing the part.
Christine: I mean, that brawl, guys. That was just great. But yeah, I agree with Ashley. I love the "She had me on her wall?" moment. It felt perfectly meta in so many ways. Didn't we all have MPG on our walls?

The term Cloud came to revolucionate the online solutions market, defining new tendences.

Our infra-structure uses Dell Blade Servers, allowing us to reduce energy consumption, optimize space and make a better management of resources using virtualization tecnologies like VMware.


First and foremost we are a website which offers impartial reviews of every online slot machine on which we can lay our hands; reviewing such a thing is partially subjective – do we like the colours, the music, etc – and partially a description of the things which don't change such as the number of reels and free spins. In the following article we'll explain in a bit more details how we come to our conclusions.
This is mostly an assessment of the quality of the game and in most cases the newer slots will be of a higher standard than older ones. For example, are the graphics and animations up to the required standard and is the music bearable enough to leave the sound on? The background to the reels is also important and will contribute to the game's atmosphere.
Some developers such as Net Entertainment produce graphics of an exceptionally high standard while others prioritise other areas.
Vitally important, without some compelling gameplay even the best looking slot quickly becomes boring. It's the way the reels spin when you press the button and how the machine reacts when various things happen. Its a little difficult to quantify but you know it when you see it.
In the era of more and more complex five reel slots, bonus features such as free spins and mini-games have become increasingly important. The base game is often just the stepping stone to the bigger money to be won by triggering the special features and they need to be of an ever higher quality.
Most slots offer free spins but how many? Is there a multiplier applied to free spins wins? If there's a mini-game is any user interaction required or is it played out automatically? Is the feature related to the game's theme and how difficult is it to trigger? As you can see there are many questions to ask.
As hard as it may be to win the base game jackpots, some players prefer those slots with potentially higher winnings so that's a valid factor. Progressive jackpots are also important for some players even if the likelihood of winning those is very small. We also list the theoretically return to the player (RTP) where it's available but unless it's unusually high or low it wouldn't impact on our conclusion.
We tend to prefer slots which offer the widest range of bet levels to keep everyone happy; that means paylines that can be altered so you can play with £0.01 stakes if you wish. At the other end of the scale there are Playtech slots which will allow you to bet £1000 per spin if you're fortunate enough to be able to afford that.
It's actually rare that we don't like a slot but we'll let you know when that's the case; most have something to offer – even the older ones. All the above factors help us decide how highly we recommend a particular slot.

Conservation Project Announced Near Saskatchewan's Grasslands National Park
by NPCN Coordinator | Mar 29, 2017 | News
The Nature Conservancy of Canada has announced a non-profit land conservation project near Grasslands National Park.
The project, Wideview Complex, provides habitat for animals that are registered under the federal Species at Risk Act.
Several species can be found at the conservatory, including birds such as Sprague's pipit, ferruginous hawk, and chestnut-collared longspur. Other animals found at the habitat the northern leopard frog, and endangered animals such as the burrowing owl, the greater sage-grouse and threatened swift fox.
In celebration of the project, the Nature Conservancy of Canada and the Art Gallery of Regina are teaming up to create "Escaping Into Nature," an immersive nature space that will educate the general public about Saskatchewan's land and heritage.
"The Milk River Basin is an area where ranchers have maintained a productive habitat for several species at risk for generations," Jennifer McKillop, the Nature Conservancy's director of conservation, said in a news release.
"The securement of the Wideview Complex means future generations will be able to continue to enjoy this area."
The Government of Canada provided $1 million in funding for the project through the Fish and Wildlife Development Fund, the Habitat Stewardship Program, and through the Natural Areas Conservation Program. The Saskatchewan government has also contributed nearly $1 million toward the project.

Le deutérium, noté H ou D, est l'isotope de l'hydrogène dont le nombre de masse est égal à 2 : son noyau atomique, appelé deuton ou deutéron, compte  et  avec un spin 1+ pour une masse atomique de . Il est caractérisé par un excès de masse de  et une énergie de liaison nucléaire par nucléon de . Il s'agit d'un isotope stable découvert en 1931 par Harold Clayton Urey, chimiste à l'université Columbia ; cette découverte lui valut le prix Nobel de chimie en 1934.

Différences entre protium et deutérium

Symbole chimique

L'UICPA recommande de représenter le deutérium par le symbole H afin de préserver l'homogénéité de ses dénominations, mais tolère le symbole D qui est largement utilisé. La raison de cette tolérance serait à chercher dans le fait que, de tous les éléments chimiques, l'hydrogène est celui pour lequel les isotopes ont des différences de masse relatives les plus élevées. Ceci n'est pas sans conséquences sur leurs propriétés physico-chimiques respectives. La masse atomique du protium H est de  alors que celle du deutérium H est de .

Abondance naturelle

Le deutérium existe naturellement à l'état de traces (typiquement 0,015 % en abondance (nombre d'atomes) par rapport au protium), éventuellement sous forme de dideutérium , mais sa forme la plus fréquente dans l'univers est de loin le deutérure d'hydrogène (HD ou H-H), dans lequel un atome de deutérium est lié à un atome de protium par une liaison électronique simple. La proportion massique de deutérium dans l'eau pure à  est voisine de  et dans l'eau de mer de .

La présence de deutérium sur Terre, dans le reste du système solaire et dans le spectre des étoiles est une donnée importante de la cosmologie physique, car les noyaux H ne peuvent s'être formés aux abondances observées que lors de la nucléosynthèse primordiale. La présence d'une fraction faible, mais constante, de deutérium partout où l'on trouve de l'hydrogène dans l'Univers (hormis dans les géantes gazeuses qui ont une concentration accrue en deutérium, mais dont la taille relative reste toutefois très petite par rapport à celle de l'Univers), est un argument en faveur de la théorie du Big Bang par rapport à la théorie de l'état stationnaire : on pense que l'abondance relative du deutérium par rapport à l'hydrogène est demeurée essentiellement constante depuis la nucléosynthèse primordiale, il y a  d'années.

Le rapport d'abondance du deutérium par rapport au protium au début de l'histoire du système solaire est estimé à , les valeurs sur Vénus et sur Mars sont respectivement 120 fois et cinq fois plus élevées que sur Terre, ce qui est interprété comme un vestige de la présence passée d'eau sur ces deux planètes.

Propriétés physicochimiques et effets physiologiques
Le deutérium gazeux (D) est légèrement plus visqueux que le protium ().

Au plan chimique, le deutérium présente un effet isotopique significatif : il est un peu moins réactif que le protium et forme des liaisons (liaison covalente et liaison hydrogène) légèrement plus fortes. Absorber de l'eau lourde plutôt que de l'eau naturelle n'est pas sans conséquences sur l'organisme, des expériences sur des animaux de laboratoire indiquant que les effets les plus notables se manifestent en premier au niveau des cellules à division rapide, en affectant les mitoses et accélérant ainsi la dégradation des tissus (voir « Eau lourde »).

Des problèmes digestifs commencent à surgir chez les animaux avec un taux de remplacement physiologique de l'ordre de 25 %, ainsi que des problèmes de stérilité dus au fait que les méioses sont bloquées autant que les mitoses. On a observé que, dans ces conditions, les plantes cessent de croître et que les graines cessent de germer. À un taux de deutération voisin de 50 %, les eucaryotes sont atteints de lésions létales (chez les animaux, défaillances graves au niveau de l'intestin et des os, notamment) tandis que les  procaryotes survivent dans l'eau lourde pure, affectés semble-t-il simplement par une croissance ralentie.

Caractéristiques

 Aux températures ordinaires, le deutérium est un gaz (HD ou D). Il est très rare et difficile à exploiter.
 masse volumique :  dans les conditions standard, (voir Conditions normales de température et de pression).
 masse atomique :

Applications

 L'eau lourde peut être concentrée par l'homme. Elle sert principalement  de modérateur des neutrons dans les réacteurs nucléaires de type canadien (réacteurs type Candu) ou argentin (deux PHWR conçus par Siemens). Le deutérium présente une section efficace de  aux neutrons thermiques (formation de tritium) et  aux neutrons rapides. Le principal « producteur » de deutérium (par enrichissement ou concentration de deutérium utilisé dans l'eau lourde comme absorbeur de neutrons dans certains types de réacteurs nucléaires) était le Canada jusqu'en 1997, date de la fermeture de sa dernière usine ; depuis, l'Inde aurait pris le relais, également dans le cadre de son industrie nucléaire.
 Le deutérium est et sera également utilisé dans les futurs réacteurs à fusion nucléaire contrôlée, car il représente un des deux principaux éléments du combustible de la fusion, l'autre étant le tritium. Le deutérium est par conséquent une matière nucléaire dont la détention est réglementée (Article R1333-1 du code de la défense).

 Les solvants deutérés (solvant dans lesquelles les protiums sont remplacés par des deutériums) sont largement utilisés en RMN du proton, car présentant l'intérêt de ne pas apparaitre sur le spectre ; en effet la fréquence de résonance du deutérium est différente de celle du protium.
 Il a été proposé d'utiliser les rapports d'isotopes stables d'hydrogène (Delta D ou δD) pour retracer l'origine de la nourriture de certains animaux, et par exemple pour déterminer la provenance d'un poisson dans un bassin versant, ce qui présupposait une absence d'effet métabolique ou trophique sur le « Delta D » des tissus. une étude a montré (2011) que quatre poissons ayant grandi dans le même milieu présentaient néanmoins (selon leur taille et position trophique) des valeurs très différentes de δD (Selon les auteurs, l'explication pourrait être un effet métabolique et/ou un cumulatif du Delta D de l'eau ambiante sur l'H échangeable à chaque stade trophique). Cette expérience a montré qu'il fallait prendre en compte la taille et le type d'aliments consommés pour ainsi détecter l'origine des poissons.

Dans la culture populaire

 Le deutérium est amplement mis en avant dans les jeux en ligne OGame et Xspace où il est utilisé dans les processus de recherche, mais aussi comme carburant et source d'énergie (via des centrales à fusion).
 Dans l'univers de Warhammer 40,000, certaines armes utilisent le deutérium.
 Dans l'univers de Star Trek, le deutérium est utilisé dans le système de propulsion des astronefs.
 Dans l'univers de Stargate SG-1, le deutérium, extrait de l'eau lourde, est utilisé pour alimenter une centrale à fusion contrôlée sur la planète Euronda.
 Dans l'univers de Halo, le deutérium est utilisé pour carburer les vaisseaux humains dans l'espace normal. Il sert aussi à auto-détruire le vaisseau en saturant la chambre à fusion avec le deutérium.
 Dans le jeu vidéo Deuteros: The Next Millennium, édité par Activision en 1991, et sorti sur Amiga et Atari ST, le joueur va extraire différents minerais dont du deutérium pour partir à la conquête spatiale.

Antideutérium

Un antideutéron est l'équivalent en antimatière du deutéron (hydron du deutérium), composé d'un antiproton et d'un antineutron. L'antideutéron a été produit pour la première fois en 1965 par le Proton Synchrotron au CERN et par l'Alternating Gradient Synchrotron au laboratoire national de Brookhaven. Un atome entier, avec un positon rattaché au noyau, devrait être appelé antideutérium mais, en 2005, l'antideutérium n'a pas encore été créé. Le symbole proposé pour l'antideutérium est .

Georg Hartog Gerson (25 August 1788 – 3 December 1844) was a medical doctor and surgeon in the King's German Legion during the Napoleonic Wars.

Dr. Gerson was born in Hamburg. He came from a family of doctors who had been living and working in Hamburg and Altona since the 17th century. His grandfather was the principal of the Jewish hospital in Altona, his father and elder brothers were also medical doctors. After his education at home, he visited the secondary grammar school (Gymnasium) and specialised in the classical languages and natural sciences (especially in botany). He studied from 1805 at the university of Berlin and from 1809 at the university of Göttingen. Here he got his medical doctorate on 7 April 1810. He habilitated in Hamburg in 1811 and then joined the King's German Legion as hospital mate.

Military career

As soon as 12 August 1811 he was proposed for the position of Assistant Surgeon and received this commission on 6 September 1811 for the 5th Line Battalion, King's German Legion. He saw action in the Peninsula, in Southern France, the Lowlands and at the Battle of Waterloo.

A rare eagerness was seen in the assistant surgeon Gerson of this 5th line battalion, who not only stayed in the carree during the fiercest of fighting, dressing with fervour and skill the wounded of his battalion, but also caring for those of the neighbouring Hanoverian troops. In this way he saved the live of many brave men, voluntary exposing his own life, he rightly gained the admiration of every eyewitness, and Colonel von Ompteda, commander of the brigade, shortly before the charge which cost his life, expressed his great appreciation publicly.

After the battle Gerson was in charge of the Hôpital de la Gendàmerie in Brussels.

Civilian career

After the legion was dissolved in 1816 he returned to Hamburg and was in the beginning mainly working as an author, but his surgery was expanding quickly and he gained a reputation as doctor and surgeon. In 1833 he was appointed as teacher for anatomy at the medical-surgery school and worked also from time to time as chief surgeon at the Allgemeine Krankenhaus. In 1839 he became sick with a chronic disease which led to his sudden death on 3 December 1844 in Hamburg. His graveside was in the Jewish cemetery the Grindelfriedhof. In the time of the Third Reich the cemetery was dissolved and the dead were reburied with their gravestones in the Jewish Cemetery Ohlsdorf. There his memorial can still be seen today. The inscription on one side reads:

Mitissimus Aggressor – Acerrimus Defensor (a mild aggressor – a sharp defender).

His uniform jacket, that he (presumably) wore at the battle of Waterloo is in the Hamburg Museum, the Museum für Hamburgische Geschichte (Museum for the History of Hamburg).It is believed to be the only jacket of a surgeon of the British/allied forces from the Napoleonic times, still in existence.

Led by our co-chair, Claire Dyer, the purpose of the evening was to show how you could use a prompt to promote free writing. By using an object and free-associating connections from it, you can be led in some surprising directions.
Claire asked us to bring in an item that connected us to Reading. The group brought in everything from Huntley and Palmer tins to winners medals from the Reading half-marathon. My object? A Reading FC scarf that I found abandoned in a hedge and brought home safely.
The stories we came up, sparked off by the associations our objects inspired, ran a wide gamut. Julie Cohen recounted the tale of how she was beaten in a race by a camel (oh, alright, two blokes in a camel suit). Meanwhile, Vera Morris told a bittersweet story of the last days of the Huntley and Palmer factory. New member Evie McLoughlin (welcome!) won the prize for most random connection–from her son's birth certificate, she came up with a story about a harmonica-playing hamster. She's going to fit in nicely here.
In other news, Vera and her fellow scribblers in the Jeeves writing group announced the publishment of their new anthology: Aphrodite's Picnic. A set of iinterlinked stories with themes taken from the Greek gods, it's a packed trick-bag of goodies. We'll throw up a purchase link soon.
Stories galore, and tons of inspiration for both our spring competition and this year's anthology. Now that's how you spend a rainy Wednesday in January!

I love how the world works. One moment I'm freaking out about where my next project is coming from and if I should just give up and eat ramen for the rest of my life. And the next moment, I get a text from my old boss from Waimea Coffee Company letting me know that one of his friends would be contacting me. Not too long after that I get a call. Emmanuel from Waimea Water Company needs a logo. Whoop! Whoop! Thank you Universe and Emmanuel!
I had him fill out my branding form and he sent me a couple of photos to give me an idea of what he wanted. One of the photos was a little sketch of the Kohala Mountains that he did on the computer. He wanted something that wasn't corporate, that gave off of a humanistic vibe and connected with the local community. This was all great! I'm super stoked and I should be able to get this project in and out.
The Kohala Mountains, which inspired the design. I took this photo awhile back and thought it showed the sloping hills of Waimea quite well.
Then here comes the sketcher's block. It's like writer's block, but instead of not being able to write, everything I draw looks dumb, lame or just not right. I decided to give it a rest for a bit. I've learned to take a step back when something isn't working. Before I would spend hours trying to plow through and force an idea to work with no success. So now, I surrender for a bit when something isn't working. This simple act of stepping away has helped me to be way more efficient and less crazy.
A few of the initial sketches. You can see I was having trouble grounding the water.
Later I came back to the design and it just seemed to flow out of me! From my hand to the paper. From the paper to the computer. A few tweaks and cleaning up of some line work and I'm ready to send a proof out.
After a few changes and color adjustments, Waimea Water Company has a new logo that speaks to the owner and resonates with his target audience. This project was a joy to work on because Emmanuel had a rough idea of what he wanted, I was able to recognize when to take a break and the goal of the project was reached! Take a look and let me know what you think of the design.

Why They Hate Obamacare So Much
Shut it down!! Shut it down!! Shut it down!!
Republican leaders from House Speaker John Boehner to whip Eric Cantor are threatening to shut down the government unless a resolution passes which keeps it afloat and defunds Obamacare. Clearly, the only thing these rapacious obstructionists hate more than Obama himself is his health care reform.
What it's clearly boiled down to is that Republicans are possessed by an overpowering psychological compulsion to repeal Obamacare even at great cost and harm to America and the GOP despite forty-one previously failed legislative attempts to do so. And now they can't stop. It's about raging, venomous, unprecedented partisan ego and out-of-control anger. The hope for logical, rational, country-first thinking has been decidedly killed off by a macro dose of hostility, resentment and fear; fear that Americans will ultimately grow to love Obamacare once they get a taste...and that there'll be no turning back.
What I suspect also drives some of these rabid repealers is an unhealthy measure of racial animus. There are many on the right who still cannot get over their visceral disgust that a black man and his family are occupying the White House (it's called White House for a reason)...but it's Obamacare which really gets them frothing at the mouth. Ton them Obamacare translates to a black man taking hard-working rich white-folk money to give free shit to poor, lazy blacks.
But as reprehensible as the GOP's hate-campaign is, the level of ineptitude coming from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is even more disturbing. It's unforgivable how Obama and the administration have failed so miserably at conveying to average Americans the inherent value of his Affordable Care Act. Rather than falling in love with Obamacare, as they do their Social Security and Medicare, 53% actuallydisapprove of it. That Obama's allowed Republicans to frame the debate with incendiary, over-the-top rhetoric (Cantor claims it will have "horrific effects" on middle class families; Boehner calls it a "train wreck") is beyond comprehension. The most beneficial government program since the New Deal has somehow been turned into an apocalyptic nightmare. Incredibly, guaranteed insurance, no lifetime caps, no rejections for pre-existing conditions and the ability to keep children up to 26 on the family plan are perceived as a bad thingby more than half the country.
The ultimate failure is that President Barack "Grand Bargain" Obama's been too busy these past five years kissing Republicans' asses, deluding himself into thinking he can achieve bi-partisan harmony in Washington while being embarrassingly oblivious to the realty that these same lawmakers hate his guts and everything he stands for. They have one unabated goal: to undermine him, his agenda and his legacy at every possible turn. And regarding his legacy, Obamacare will likely be what the president is remembered for most (aside from the historic significance that he's the first black president): that he had the vision for it, yet woefully lacked the skills and balls to sell it.
Why do you hate so much?

Care Moor for Exmoor
Will you 'CareMoor' for Exmoor?
It is summertime on the moors, 'When the bees' feet shake the bells of the heather' as Henry Williamson describes Exmoor, the 'high country' in Tarka the Otter.
Exmoor National Park is an amazing place, with a different experience around every corner. Those same heather-topped hills offer a glimpse of wild red deer and the joy of iconic ponies in their natural habitat. Like Tarka you can travel along babbling streams to secret combes where special woodlands preserve Britain's unique temperate rainforest. The highest cliffs in England are the venue for world-class triathlons and Exmoor's hills and valleys provide some of the best walking and cycling locations in Europe. There are more than 800 miles of local paths and 267 square miles of habitats where you can encounter over 5000 species of flora and fauna.
The Exmoor landscape has been shaped by people and nature over thousands of years and we want to keep it special for the next thousand and beyond.
CareMoor for Exmoor™ is a donation scheme operated and managed by Exmoor National Park Authority. The scheme provides an opportunity for those who love and are inspired by Exmoor to contribute to the upkeep of the National Park through donations and visitor gifting. Funds raised through CareMoor are used for valuable conservation projects for nature and heritage, as well as to improve access across the National Park.
If every visitor to the National Park gave just £1, around £2 million each year could be raised for Exmoor. You can donate online http://www.exmoor-nationalpark.gov.uk/caremoor, at one of the National Park Centres or via participating businesses. Keep a look out for CareMoor collection boxes.


If a new lead reached out to you today with a project request, what would your process be for moving that prospective client through your pipeline?
If you're like most freelancers, you probably don't really have one. You'll probably setup a phone or in-person meeting, and you'll likely do a bit of research beforehand.
The most important thing you can do early on when talking with new leads is to develop a process around how you learn about who they are and what they way. Don't leave your conversations open-ended; come armed with an agenda.
Becoming a high-value freelance consultant starts with understanding the why behind each project you work on. Today we're going to look at the exact process I use to the pains behind each project I work on.
Before I got into computers professionally, I went to college for the classics. During my time as a freshman, I read most of Plato's dialogues. The dialogues were the transcripts of conversations that occurred between Socrates and other Athenians. What really stuck out was that Socrates always had an agenda; there was some truth or ideal that he wanted the person who was talking with to admit. His method of questioning is still used by trial lawyers, psychologists, and academia — and there's no reason we, as freelancers, can't do the same.
Here the client tells me about what they think they need. They might come to me with a thought out list of requirements, or they might just have a rough idea of what they're looking for.
This is the step that all of us do — we hear the client out. But most freelancers at this point will move toward discussing the technicals about the project. If it's a website, the discussion might shift toward how many pages it will be, what theme or template it might use, what the navigation elements should be like, etc.
Here we want to know what event occurred to spark this project. Often times, this can be a series of built up events that is ultimately set off by something specific.
Remember: No project exists without a backing problem. Your competitors likely won't care enough to investigate what that problem is. If we know the problem, we can better tailor the project and what we end up doing toward that end.
Step 4: How Painful Is The Problem?
Most people won't be willing to open up to you and share the inner workings of their company. At this point, I'll often present my non-disclosure agreement. I want to show them that I respect their business, and I realize that what they're about to tell me shouldn't be public knowledge.
You want to understand what it means longterm for this problem to still be a problem. When we eventually go in for the sale, we're going to anchor the need for this project against the cost of this problem not going away. We want the prospective client to admit the cost to us.
Note that not everyone will have these numbers available — but that's OK. You're mostly looking for ballparks or ranges.
Step 6: How Should Tomorrow Look?
The question above was pretty painful… we're talking about how sucky this problem is. Now we want to switch gears and move into happier pastures. Let's let the client dream about tomorrow. What does it mean if this project succeeds? Try to quantify in hard numbers what sort of impact your project might have on the client's business.
A few key things are happening here. Most importantly, we're really stressing our focus on their business and their financial well-being. We want them to be successful. We don't want our portfolio to be a graveyard of failed companies.
The next part of the conversation will be to look at what that tomorrow might mean (financially, reputationally, etc.) for our clients, which will also help us determine how we can make that tomorrow come into being.
What's really important to understand is that you're not just looking to collect data. You want your clients to externally vocalize the necessity of this project. You want them to see that something's different about working with you. You're just not reacting to a project request — you're guiding them through understanding what this project means for them and their business.
And this is going to help you tremendously when it comes time send off a proposal. My closing rate is near 100%, and I'm almost always the most expensive quote my clients get (my current rate is $20,000 a week).

Project Euler 7 Solution: Find the 10001st prime using a fast prime sieve.
Project Euler 7: By listing the first six prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13, we can see that the 6th prime is 13.
I wanted a solution that would solve both this problem and the HackerRank.com version of Project Euler 7 which queries hundreds of nth prime numbers. So, the quickest and easiest way is to simply generate enough primes into a list and use it's index (or ordinal position) to find the answer. The prime generator featured here is fast and can generate 20 million primes in less than one-half second.
The extra list element, , prepended to the prime list is to allow the nth prime to be the nth element without having to worry about the list starting from 0.
Since our prime sieve function generates prime numbers below some numerical limit, it's prudent to make this limit as close to our biggest nth prime as possible to conserve resources. The inverse of the Prime Counting Function generates a good guess. This function takes a number, n, and calculates the number of primes below it, so the inverse takes a number of primes and tells us how high our limit must be to include them. The calculator reports that there are 10,024 primes less than 105,000 which covers both this problem and the HackerRank version.
There is a handy calculator here and a table here if you want to learn more about the prime counting function, tragically named π(x), and how to determine a reasonable limit.
Use this link to get the Project Euler 7 Solution Python 2.7 source.
Function prime_sieve is listed in Common Functions and Routines for Project Euler. The function is also included here in the second Trinket tab named "Euler.py" next to the "main.py" tab.
If this problem were to ask for the 100,001st prime number, then using the calculator mentioned above, we would need to generate all primes less than 1,300,000 (which calculates 100,021 primes) to make sure it was included. The 100,001st prime is 1,299,721.
Calculating prime numbers is a recurring theme throughout Project Euler so you may want to add this function to your library to help solve other problems.

Car sharing continues to spread through the country and is about to take hold in Vermont. CarShare Vermont recently launched their new website and will begin operations this September.
Similar to I-GO Car Sharing, CarShare Vermont will be a locally-run, non-for-profit car sharing organization (CSO). They plan to launch next month with 6 Burlington pod locations (see below map).
Zipcar is raising prices across the country– Chicago included! I've been working at I-GO since last September, in that time I've realized that there are a fair number of I-GO members who are also Zipcar members. So anybody with such dual membership will want to check out the Zipcar price increases.
The CTA Tattler recently reported on the growing partnership between I-GO Car Sharing and the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA). Recently, I also wrote a Motormouth post on the future of I-GO's partnership with the CTA. Click here to check out the CTA Tattler posting.

So a few months ago (yes that long ago believe it or not), Liz broke the news that the parking situation in Asbury Park was about to undergo a major change.
Instead of paying by numbered parking spaces, visitors will pay using their license plate.
"We're trying to make it easier," said Mayor John Moor. "We had people entering the wrong numbers. It seemed like (it was) a lot easier for the people parking and also the parking violations officers."
Well according APP.com, this new parking system has officially began and we have a few follow-up details that you should know before you park.
1. Drivers can move their car to a different space within the same parking zone without paying more money.
Your "paid for" time can carry over as long as it is within the same parking zone. This could make a day out and about in Asbury Park a lot easier and more convenient. (The beachfront is one zone and all the businesses in town are another zone).
avenues run parallel and the 100 block streets in-between.
Waterfront Zone: applies to area between Ocean Avenue and Kingsley Street and the 100 block streets in-between.
Central Zone: includes all metered parking areas west of Kingsley Street and north of Cookman Avenue.
3. You can pay for parking using the meters or an app.
The parking app is named Asbury PARK -- clever, I see what you did there -- which allows you to pay for parking using your credit card and you can even extend your stay remotely.
**Make sure you get your license plate correct if you reload remotely because that is an easy way to get a ticket.
Basically, this system leaves little room for error because it will answer one question: does the license plate associated to your account have paid parking time?
Take a look at the new Asbury Park parking situation in more detail at APP.com.


The first month of 2019, January seems to be a very promising month for the Canadian government. With more than 40,000 plus immigrants entering into Canada within January, there exists a notion that the set immigration goals for the next three years will be met without any troubles being faced.
The set target for the year 2019 is to be welcoming 331,000 new permanent residents and the economic immigration programs and the family sponsorship programs are considered to play a pivotal role in the three year's immigration plans.
The figures are expected to increase up to 350,000 by the year 2021 which is nearly one per cent of the Canadian Population. Experts say & suggest that maintaining a one per cent immigration rate will ensure the economic and labour growth of Canada in the years to come.
It is expected that most of these targets will be met through Express Entry Programs and the provincial nominee programs. The Express Entry System is responsible for managing the country's three most economic immigration programs namely the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program and the Canadian Experience Class Program.
The Express Entry Program had the biggest start ever since its introduction. With three Express Entry Draws held, the Canadian Government issued 11,500 invitations to candidates from the Express Entry Pool making it a major contribution for January.
Another important immigration program that plays a huge role in the meeting the Canadian Government's immigration targets is the Family Sponsorship Programs. The Canadian Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship Program which was opened on January 28th had a target of accepting 27,000 expressions of interest which it was able to meet in a couple of minutes after opening.
The Provincial Nominee Programs are also playing a major role in meeting the Canadian Immigration targets for the year. Provinces like Manitoba, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Prince Edward Island Ontario together combined, issued an approximate of 5000 invitations to candidates.
The Canadian Government is taking steady measures to make sure that the set Immigration goals are being met for the upcoming years. With the immigration targets increasing and the provinces steadily welcoming immigrants, this could be an ideal time for you to apply for Canadian Immigration.

It has been an extended, future for Outdated Metropolis bar Lucy's Hat Store, which Avram Hornik opened at 247 Market Avenue way back in 1998. The Granville Island Hat Shop has earned its reputation as being the Best Hat Store in Vancouver and possibly Canada. Hat Nook has been serving New York Metropolis since store has hats of all kinds from boaters, Indiana Jones, ivy leagues, ball caps, fedoras and plenty of extra.
Irrespective of the event, Village Hat Shop has the perfect choice of mens hats to suit your needs. The shop has such classic and elegant hats that here you are certain to search out one which appears made just to your face. The New York Occasions bestselling creator of At the Drop of a Hat returns to her London hat shop with a contemporary story of milliners and homicide.
Scarlett Parker and her British cousin, Vivian Tremont, are hard at work at Mim's Whims—their ladies' hat store on London's chic Portobello Road—to create hats for an Alice in Wonderland themed afternoon tea, a fund-raiser for a local kids's hospital.
I may spend hours in here checking out hat after hat and fantasizing about taking it house for my very personal. They said any drawback send him in, he would really like that 4 pretty young girls in a single small shop absolutely loaded with hats of all kinds and styles, I believe he'll be all the way down to get other great hats.
The historical past of this hat maker dates all the way back to 1895, and right now boasts greater than 30 North American stores, including 4 in New York City. As a small, native and unbiased business it is exhausting for us to compete with corporate chains and on-line suppliers – nevertheless, we endeavour to supply one of the best value we are able to afford.

Orthopedic Clinical Trials & Research
Explore cutting-edge orthopedic clinic trials and research studies at The UVM McClure Musculoskeletal Research Center.
Foot and Ankle Program
Hip and Knee Surgery Program
Rheumatology and Immunology
Spine Institute
Surgery Preparation
The University of Vermont's McClure Musculoskeletal Research Center is committed to understanding musculoskeletal injuries and disorders.
The knee research program seeks to understand the risk factors that pre-dispose patients to knee trauma. The program also looks at how knee ligament injury can lead to degenerative disease. Other studies seek to improve ways of diagnosing, reconstructing and rehabilitating knee ligament injuries.
Risk Factors for ACL Injury
UVM is conducting a five-year study on first-time anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk factors. The research team is working with athletic directors, trainers, parents and student athletes in Vermont to examine the elements that result in injury. The ultimate goal is to help develop methods of prevention.
Early Predictors of Osteoarthritis
This study seeks to find molecular markers that may predispose people to developing osteoarthritis. Researchers are analyzing samples of synovial fluid (the fluid found in the joints), serum and urine. They are looking for a biological indicator that may signal early changes in the cartilage make-up.
Snow Sports Injury Research
For many years, UVM and The University of Vermont Medical Center have studied injuries related to downhill skiing, snowboarding and other winter sports directly at the ski slope.
This research team is involved in many projects, including:
Studying injury trends
Studying winter sports equipment's effect on injuries and prevention
Conducting in-depth studies of specific common injuries
Promoting helmet use and head injury prevention
Monitoring the rate of knee ACL injuries
The research has led to:
Reduced incidence of ACL injuries in ski patrollers and instructors at 20 U.S. resorts.
Knowledge of the importance of proper ski equipment in reducing lower leg and ankle injuries.
Development of national and international standards for alpine skiing equipment design.

Side reins are a specific set of reins used during dressage. Used alongside regular reins they are used as another way for the judges to determine both the rider and horses skills. Lead reins are used when walking and leading the horse from the ground both during dressage and in the field. Pick up a set of specialty reins at Decathlon. Also check out our regular reins and nets too.


This chart shows common Angel 8.0 features, what those features are called in Canvas, and how they are different. In addition, there is a section showing Canvas features with no equivalent in Angel.
This list was originally created in 2012 (with the assistance of Elizabeth (Online Learning) Jackson) when we made our transition, but I tried to update it before posting it. If you have recommendations of things that should be added or changed, please comment and I'll update the chart.
A quiz in Canvas can be a practice quiz, graded quiz, graded survey, ungraded survey.
EASY to extend test time for one student or add extra submission attempts.
Ability to schedule different opening times or days for individual students and/or course sections.
Set requirements for what a student needs to do to complete a module. This includes students viewing something, contributing to a discussion, submitting an assignment, or scoring a certain grade.

Messages can be forwarded out to the email of your choice and can come back into Canvas from your email!!
Receive notifications via social web services, text, etc.
Only has the normal and post first options; does not have the private user/team journal, fishbowl, or hotseat.
Students can't easily add images to discussion threads.
Pick where you want each different type of course activity information sent outside of Angel. Example: College email, other email address, text message, Twitter, etc.
Pick how often you want each different type of course activity information sent to you. Example: ASAP, Daily, Weekly, or Never.
Faculty can enter grades and comments directly from here, but if the assignment was turned in to Canvas the best way to grade is using Speedgrader.
Students can figure hypothetical "what-if" grades.
Student submissions are highlighted in red if the submission was turned in late.
Message students who haven't submitted yet, scored less than or more than a specific grade on an assignment.
Speedgrader tool displays submitted assignment, grading rubric, and media comment options all on one page.
Easy to click from student to student when grading an assignment.
Add comments directly to student's assignments (Word, PDF, Excel, & PowerPoint) within Canvas. No need to download the assignment, add comments and re-upload.

This is very clean and well organized, Kona!
Reading through this reminded me of just how much work we put into making it! I know it helped our faculty out a lot, and I'm hopeful that it will help others who are making the switch from Angel to Canvas.
Thank you for posting this Kona Jones. I realize I'm a little late to this party and we just finished our migration 3 weeks ago. However, there is still times when we have faculty who get really hung up on the terminology. This is an excellent resource that I know we will be able to use!
I'm glad to hear this will help you. Kona and I put a LOT of effort into creating it, and I'm happy to know that it will help someone else as well.
Thank you Elizabeth (Online Learning) Jackson for sharing!
Kona Jones and Elizabeth (Online Learning) Jackson, thank you so much for sharing this resource. We're currently piloting a D2L's Brightspace to Canvas transition, and many of the differences you've noted are similar and helpful to us in our process. This is a fantastic resource that we will absolutely be able to use. Thank you!
You are quite welcome! I am happy that the hard work we put into this is helping other people!

Selena Gomez Fires Back At Body Shamers In Candid New Interview
"I'm not going to let them get to me. I can do what I want."
by Rebecca Rose | Sep 17, 2015
In a new interview with The Cruz Show on Power 106, Selena Gomez opened about what it was like to deal with the barrage of insults and body-shaming she's received in recent years. The star was surprisingly candid during the exchange, basically letting the entire world know she no longer gives a good "fuck" what anyone thinks.
REVIVAL pic.twitter.com/i3Wgpr8VMp
— Selena Gomez (@selenagomez) September 8, 2015
When asked about why she chose to pose topless for her new album cover, Selena pointed back to the harsh scrutiny she's faced over her appearance.
"You have to understand that I dealt with a lot of body shaming this year, and I've never experienced that before," she said. She's not over-exaggerating. This year was a banner year for people saying horrendous things about Selena's physique.
"I don't care about that stuff, but I did start gaining weight and I didn't really mind it," she said. "I enjoyed it." It's a beautiful thing for a woman to love the way her body changes and grows in different ways, but of course strangers on the Internet have to be rude dicks about it for some reason.
The criticism did get to her, she said."Man, that hurt...That was really hurtful."
But with the new album cover, Selena is throwing it right back in their face. This is what winning looks like, folks.
"I'm not going to give a fuck what people...I'm not going to care," she said. "I'm not going to let them get to me. I can do what I want."
I also heard for lunch today Selena ate a glorious meal salted with the tears of her haters. Body-shamers, when will you learn that you are losing this game?
