Jennifer Love Hewitt (ur. 21 lutego 1979 w Waco) – amerykańska aktorka, piosenkarka, autorka tekstów, producentka i reżyserka.

Życiorys

Wczesne lata
Imię Jennifer nadał jej starszy brat Todd (ur. 1970). Było to imię dziewczyny, w której był on zakochany.

Gdy Jennifer miała sześć miesięcy jej rodzice – niemiecki technik medyczny Herbert Daniel Hewitt i włoska logopedka Patricia Mae – rozwiedli się. Jako dziewczynka postanowiła zostać gwiazdą. Matka odkryła u niej talent do show-biznesu. Urodziła się w Waco w stanie Teksas, ale jako dziesięciolatka przeniosła się z matką do Los Angeles. Uczyła się tańca i śpiewu, występując w reklamach i programach dla dzieci. Grała w serialach (m.in. w disneyowskim serialu Kids Incorporated (1989–1991) jako Robin) i odbyła tournée po całej Europie z grupą taneczną Texas Show Team. W 1997 ukończyła Laurel Springs High School.

Pierwszy album Let's Go Bang (1995) wydała jako szesnastolatka, potem był Jennifer Love Hewitt (1996) i Love Songs (1997). Po kilkuletniej przerwie, pod koniec 2002 nagrała płytę Barenaked. Od tego czasu zapraszana była na wiele imprez i koncertów, by zaprezentować choć kilka utworów z albumu. Śpiewała m.in. w Nowym Jorku, Bostonie, Atlancie i Kansas.

Wystąpiła w teledyskach: "High" (1997) Feedera, "Can't Get Enough of You Baby" (1998) Smash Mouth, "Girl on TV" (1999) LFO i "Hero" (2002) Enrique Iglesiasa oraz pojawiała się w reklamach dla: L.A. Gear (1989), Victoria Golf (1991), Chex (1992), Barbie (1992) oraz Neutrogena (1998–2003). Przez pewien czas prowadziła cykl programów poświęconych problemom nastolatków na kanale MTV.

W świadomości widzów zaistniała dzięki roli Sary Reeves w serialu Ich pięcioro (Party of Five, 1994–2000). Sławę przyniósł jej thriller Koszmar minionego lata (I Know What You Did Last Summer, 1997) i jego sequel – Koszmar następnego lata (I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, 1998), w których wcieliła się w główną bohaterkę, Julie James. Do ważnych filmów w jej karierze należy również zaliczyć Wielki podryw (Heartbreakers, 2001) oraz Smoking (The Tuxedo, 2002). W latach 2005–2010 grała postać Melindy Gordon w serialu telewizyjnym Zaklinaczka duchów (Ghost Whisperer).

W 2013 wyszła za mąż za aktora Briana Hallisaya, z którym ma córkę Autumn James.

Q: Вертикальная полоса прокрутки слева без direction: rtl Как переместить вертикальную полосу прокрутки справа на лево, не используя direction: rtl?
Из-за этого свойства, она хоть и слева, но то, что нужно отобразить, уезжает и js не правильно работает с элементом и это дискомфорт для моих посетителей. Может быть, уже jQuery библиотеки есть для этого? Буду рад помощи.

A: Я выбрал два варианта ответов из данного вопроса
Оба предполагают наличие дополнительного элемента вокруг того, где нужна левая прокрутка.
В первом случае таки используется rtl
Во втором случае используется transform. Для более старых браузеров могут понадобиться префиксы -ms-transform или -webkit-transform

A Guy's Rant: New Music For The Month
Every month I compile a playlist in an effort to keep up with the "hot new jams the kids are into". And every month I end up coming to the conclusion that the kids suck, their jams suck, and everything hot and new sucks and instead compile a list of lukewarm, aging, jams that the kids would be wise to listen to increase their own personal sexy. Here are some of the highlights: Say Anything: "We Killed It" - In high school I received many tersely worded progress reports adorned with phrases like "not living up to potential" and " minimal effort" and "good looking young man".

Such as. If that last sentence didn't make sense, I'm sorry. I was speaking "Miss Teen South Carolinian"...it's a unique dialect. Watch Mario Lopez's face at the end of this video, it's priceless.

A Bear Playing Tetherball Is The Best Thing You'll See All Day
We really don't need to write anything, since this video of a bear playing tetherball is already the greatest thing on the internet, but we should probably give you some background. A bear named LG, is a rescue animal at Animal Ark, Inc. in Reno, Nevada. A visitor was at the park and decided to shoot a quick video when he saw LG playing the old schoolyard game, and the video went viral almost instantly. The video is fun, and LG seems to be enjoying the game, but the story of how LG got to the park is pretty amazing too. Animal rescuers found him when he was...

Jeffrey Dahmer Went To My High School
I have something in common with Jeffrey Dahmer. No, I am not a disturbed serial killer or monster, but we are both alums of Revere High School, an average rural/suburban high school in the middle of nowhere Ohio. Although I have known this for a long time, I never really gave it a second thought until I read Derf Backderf's graphic novel and true story, My Friend Dahmer. The 200 plus page graphic novel tells origin story of one of the world's most disturbing serial killers through the eyes of his high school buddies or as they call themselves, "The Dahmer Fan Club". The fan club was not some weird cult... READ MORE Jeffrey Dahmer Went To My High School
A Satirical Behind-the-Scenes Look At "Night of the Living Dead"
In 1968, George A. Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" introduced the world to a whole new concept of horror - zombies! Of course, since it was a whole new genre, there were probably some acting nuances that had to be explained to the actors playing the undead. This spoof gives an inside look at some conversations that may have happened on set. Remember, this was the 60's, so they couldn't just turn on AMC and watch The Walking Dead. The satire is spot on, but don't turn up the speakers if you're at work. There's a few small things your boss may not want to hear. Check out the video below.

Nick tried "Fabulous" for a Week...
What app did you use for one week?
I used Fabulous. The tag line is: Embark on a journey to reset your habits
What were your impressions before you started using it?
I was excited by the logo and the general artwork of it. In general, this app is pretty to look at.
How was the interface for this app?
If you use it with curiosity, it's fairly user friendly. The first three days are pretty self explanatory, as it walks you through your first "new habit."
What the app doesn't do within its on boarding is tell you what is it has to offer. If you're like me, and need something to jump out in front of your face sometimes to notice it, then you probably will go the whole week before you realize there are audio recordings for guided meditation and psycho-education. I tried the app a bit longer, so it took me another week to notice I can add my own habits to try to start.
What about the app was helpful?
The gentle reminders in the morning were helpful, but not unique to the app. What I most appreciated was that it would suggest ways for you to prep that day before for your morning habit. The first one - spoiler alert - is to drink water first thing in the morning. The night before it will have you put a glass of water by your bed. Keeping it simple like this is pretty helpful.
What would you add or take away from the app?
I would have added some specific guidance about how to best use the app. I felt like it had good bones, but again, didn't really tell me how to use it to my advantage. The app also stopped reminding me after about a week of not using it (I forgot to to delete it, oops) which seems problematic.
What did you notice after using this app for one week?
Personally, I noticed that I had pieces of some habits started, but needed just a gentle push to make them more concrete. And these habits I was doing for myself reinforced the sense that I can do little things for myself to feel regulated all day. But then I noticed that I struggled to come up with new ones.
Who would benefit most from this app?
Someone with ideas of areas of growth already in mind. This app could be used in conjunction with therapy goals, or with general wellness goals. I think people who already have motivation, but just need that extra push and reminder would best benefit. If you are someone starting from scratch or without direction in this regard, I don't think this is the app for you.
What's the cost for this app after a free trial?
Free to download, one week free trial, it was on sale for $40 a year, but is usually $80 a year.
B'well therapist Nick Etheridge knows that motivation is a process and likes finding new ways to break big goals down into realistic steps.

Q: Visual Studio Code warning when comparing types in JavaScript using '===' This is a two part question. And is different than other questions that are based on equality in JavaScript because it deals with a specific warning that is displayed in the IDE "Visual Studio Code" and why that warning message is or is not in error.
I'm getting the following warning message in Visual Studio code:

Operator '===' cannot be applied to types 'number' and => 'string'

on the following line of code:
var x = 23;
var y = "23";

x.valueOf() === y.valueOf() ?
    console.log("Types ARE the same")
        : console.log("Types ARE NOT the same");

Now this technique definitely works for me and I understand the reason for using a triple equal for this type of thing rather than a double equal. This same code I have learned in several fundamentals courses at codeschool and pluralsight as a way to generate a boolean value based on the type of two different values where the product or returned value is that of either true or false and the technique can come in handy.
MY QUESTIONS:
How is the code above any different from:
 x === y ?
    console.log("Types ARE the same")
        : console.log("Types ARE NOT the same");

in this simple example of comparing two simple values and their types, is there something additional I can do by using the valueOf() method along with it?
Also is Visual Studio Code wrongly generating this warning and if not is there a better way to do this type of check?
Because no matter what method I use above I get the same warning error in Visual Studio Code, but it works fine for me in practice.

A: Going by what I see from the MDN docs here for String.prototype.valueOf(); and here for Number.prototype.valueOf(); and the code that you have, I must say you already have x and y holding primitive values of string and number. There is no need to do a valueOf() on x and y as they are not of Object type.
You would ideally use String.prototype.valueOf(); on a String Object to get it's primitive value and Number.prototype.valueOf(); to get primitive value of the Number Object which result in string data type and number data type values respectively.
Hence, the warning I suppose. Although I dont have prior experience with visual-studio, but I feel it understands that .valueOf() should be used on an Object type rather than that on a primitive type.

A: So because the example above is comparing two known defined values that are obviously of different types, Visual Studio Code is actually correct in issuing a warning, because it knows that for a fact variable x is a string and variable y is an integer and therefore warns (very vaguely and not that intuitively for me anyways) that by comparing these two known hard coded values we will always get a false, and if we in fact drop one of the equal signs and make it a double equal operator, then it will always equate to true because it will enforce "Type Coercion" which will change the string value to an integer. Therefore if we setup this same type of ternary statement inside of a function where the parameters are possibly unknown and THE WARNING MESSAGE DOES GO AWAY:
function compareTwo(a,b) {
    a.valueOf() == b.valueOf()
        ? console.log("value types ARE the same")
            : console.log("value types ARE NOT the same");
}

Because it's now possible that anyone can pass anything into this function and it no longer will always be true or false in either scenario.

A: The valueOf doesn't matter and has nothing to do with the warning. But VS correctly identifies that you're using type sensitive comparison === comparing two different types. Your expression 23 === "23" will ALWAYS return false, so it could just as well just say
false ? doIfTrue() : doIfFalse();

or even better yet, just remove the entire first part of the statement since it will never fire
doIfFalse();

VS recognizes this, hence the warning. Your conditional statement is completely superfluous and could safely be removed.
You would receive a similar warning if you were to write something like
if (true) doSomething();

or
if (true == false) doSomething();

VS will recognize that the conditional holds no meaning and makes code either fire every time or completely unreachable, and it warns you about it (as it should).
And like you noted: If the variables aren't hard-coded in the scope, the warning will go away, since VS stops validating type of variables set outside the function. Javascript isn't a typed language and keeping track of the content of all variables would just be too taxing and complex for the IDE.
Depending on your coding style, for all VS knows it might even be your desired behaviour (if variable types match, do something, otherwise, do something else). When the variables are set in the same scope though, it just creates unreachable code.


· Clean every room. Make your entire house look as "guest ready" as possible.
· As much as is feasible given the time, reduce clutter. Consider packing some items into boxes and storing them in the basement or garage.
· Get pets out of the house. You can take them for a walk, have a neighbour watch them, or take them to a good kennel.
· Turn on the lights, even during the day. You want each room to look bright.
· If there are any maintenance issues, such as a dripping faucet, let your Realtor know. Often, it's best for buyers to be told rather than discover such issues themselves.
· Open the curtains, except in those rooms where the sun will be uncomfortably strong during the viewing.
· Make sure your foyer is especially clean and uncluttered. It's the first "room" the buyer visits.
· Freshen up the outdoor space. Mow the lawn. Sweep the walkway.

We've entered a new multi-currency version of our trusty random entry forex trading system into the MetaTrader 5 Automated Trading Championship.
The official MetaQuotes backtest between January 1st 2010 and July 31st 2010 shows a profit of $34,475.58 on an initial deposit of $10,000.
Don't forget that Ray is also using his Martingale Money Management Module (coincidentally MMMM for short). If he's lucky he'll survive until Xmas, and the end of the competition. You should not try this at home on your live account. It would not survive an extended outing with Ray as he is currently constituted.
I downloaded and installed Alpari's MT5 and was looking forwards to testing this system when I enountered a problem with the history centre. First of all I noticed that I could only scroll back to January 2010 on my charts, and when I looked for the history centre it seemed to be non-existant.
I haven't used my Alpari MT5 demo for months. I just fired it up again, and it told me it was build 281, dated 09 Jun 2010. Then it performed an automatic live update. Now it tells me it's build 342, dated 06 Oct 2010.
The 5 minute charts I already had open did indeed only go back to January 2010. Then I switched the GBP/USD chart to a monthly timeframe. At first that too only showed a few bars, going back to January 2010. I hit the "Home" key on my keypad, then after a delay the chart started auto-filling with bars, and now goes back all the way to November 1978. There is no longer any History Center in MetaTrader 5. One month charts now fulfil the same purpose (partially at least).
I long ago reverted to using the "official release" of MT5 downloaded direct from MetaTrader5.com, rather than any broker's own version. Updates seem to still be arriving quick and fast, and they also used to arrive far faster on the MetaQuotes version than any other. However I now discover that version is also currently on build 342, and the historical data only seems to go back as far as May 1993.
I think I'll be firing up the Alpari (UK) version of MetaTrader 5 rather more often in future! In any event, I hope one or other of those suggestions will get you up and running doing meaningful MT5 multi-currency backtests pretty quickly.
One more question: I have a dual core processor in my laptop but MT5 only seems to utilize one core while doing backtests. Testing this system takes a long time and slows down my computer quite a bit - is there a way to change these default settings? Perhaps I need a new computer!
Extra cores (and even extra computers!) only come into play when you start running optimizations. A backtest will only utilize a single core, although you can specify which one if you want!
Note also that Ray seems to work best with useTicks set to "false", and useTimer set to "true". Finally you may wish to run a short multi-currency backtest using all the different possibilities for that "simulated ticks" box, to satisfy yourself that speeding up the backtests does in fact save time, without significantly affecting your backtest results.


What Everyone Should Know About Chia Seeds!
Chia seeds are touted as one of the most nutritious foods available in today's market. Rich in protein and fiber, they boast valuable medicinal properties and support optimum health. These tiny black seeds absorb up to 12 times their weight in water, leaving you feeling full. For this reason, they are widely used by dieters. They also have twice the protein of any other seed, which makes ideal for muscle growth. On top of that, you can use them in a multitude of recipes, from chia pudding and chia seed chips to homemade muffins.
These small seeds come from the Salvia hispanica plant, which belongs to the mint family. They were widely used by Aztec warriors in pre-Columbian times to give them strength and energy. The word "chia" means strength in the Mayan language.
Today, chia seeds are produced in Guatemala, Argentina, Mexico, and Ecuador. Harvesting usually occurs in November. They can be consumed raw, soaked in fruit juice or water, or grinded into flour. Their energy-boosting properties are backed up by science. This superfood delivers massive amounts of nutrients with very few calories.
The phenolic compounds in chia seeds can stop up to 70 percent of free radical damage. Basically, these tiny seeds fight oxidative stress and protect your cells from the toxins in the air, food, and environment. Due to their high antioxidant levels, they support the skin's repair system and reduce inflammation.
One serving of chia seeds boasts about 11 grams of fiber, which suppresses appetite and keeps your blood sugar levels stable. This superfood is over 40 percent fiber by weight and expands in your stomach, leading to reduced hunger. Fiber also feeds healthy gut bacteria and restores the microbiome, which improves digestive function.
Chia seeds are an excellent source of ALA and other omega-3 essential fats with anti-inflammatory properties. These fatty acids have liver-protecting properties, support healthy cholesterol levels, and reduce blood pressure. In the long run, chia seeds can lower your risk of heart disease, type II diabetes, and autoimmune disorders.
Studies have found that chia seeds can prevent diverticulitis flare-ups due to their high fiber content. They also appear to be effective in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, ulcerative colitis, and other digestive conditions.
These small seeds are chock full of protein and fiber, which may help in weight loss. Protein curbs hunger and preserves lean mass, while fiber supports healthy digestion and leaves you feeling full. Evidence supports that a high-protein diet can reduce the desire for snacking by almost 50%!
So, whether you want to stay healthy, drop weight, or have greater energy, include chia seeds in your diet! This superfood will add flavor to your meals and boost your exercise performance. Use it in vegetable and rice dishes, sprinkle them over salads, or add them to smoothies and yogurt to reap their amazing health benefits.


It's the month of November and the much anticipated No Shave November is here. For those who are unaware of what No Shave November is, it is a yearly trend in which everyone gives up on shaving and let loose their hair. Along with the hair on one's head, men let their facial hair grow wild and women give up on shaving their legs. Some do it for fun, while some do it keep up with the No Shave November trend.
However, many people fail to see the bigger picture of No Shave November. No-Shave November has been a tradition for many years, but it wasn't until the fall of 2009 that members of the Chicagoland Hill family decided to use it as a means to raise money for charity. It was a project that held special meaning to the eight Hill children after their father, Matthew Hill, passed away from colon cancer in November 2007.
What is the primary goal of No Shave November?
No Shave November is known as a unique way to grow cancer awareness. The goal of No-Shave November is to grow awareness by embracing our hair, which many cancer patients lose, and letting it grow wild and free and donate the money you typically spend on shaving and grooming to educate about cancer prevention, save lives, and aid those fighting the battle.
What are the rules of No Shave November?
How can we help on an individual level?
One can participate by growing a beard, cultivating a mustache, letting those legs go natural, and skipping that waxing appointment. It serves the dual purpose of supporting a massive cancer awareness and keeping up with the latest trend.
Cancel all your barber and spa appointments! November is here and the game of No Shaving is on!

WHAT ARE VITRIMERS?
For the last 100 years, synthetic polymers have been divided into two general categories: thermosets, which have excellent mechanical properties, but must be irreversibly cured prior to final use; and thermoplastics, which can be melted down and reprocessed, but have inferior thermal and mechanical properties.
Vitrimers represent a new class of polymers based on dynamically exchangeable imine-linked polymer networks. Like thermosets, vitrimers are highly crosslinked network polymers. However, unlike thermosets that are permanently in fixed form after curing, vitrimer chemistry yields a product that can be remolded. When heated above the glass transition, the fully cured network polymer undergoes rapid dynamic covalent bond exchange within the polymer network. This allows for facile processing of thermoset materials that can be heated to a specific temperature after being fully cured and reshaped. Upon cooling the materials retain thermoset-like mechanical performance.

PRE-CURED VITRIMER MATRIX COMPOSITE-3 MINUTE IN MOLD CONSOLIDATION CYCLE
WHAT WE DO AND WHY?
The reversible nature of vitrimers enables covalent welding, molding, reshaping, and solution-based closed-loop recycling of fully cured materials. The chemistry is highly tunable to meet the thermomechanical requirements across industry segments. By way of example, Mallinda has formulated polymers with glass transition temperatures (Tgs) ranging from ~20 C - ~240 C.
Mallinda's patented Vitrimer resin platform eliminates the slow infusion and long curing cycles of today's resins; enabling compression-molding of products in just seconds for high-throughput, high-volume production of structural composites. In addition, our prepreg is pre-cured, shelf-stable, and requires no refrigeration for transport or storage.
Mallinda's vitrimer prepreg is a disruptive platform technology that enables rapid (< 1 minute) compression molding of fully cured thermoset composite parts. It is designed for fiber reinforced composite (FRC) production using rapid compression molding techniques analogous to sheet metal stamping. In addition, Mallinda's resin can be recovered using reagents utilized in the resin synthesis. This is key to (1) allowing a circular, energy-neutral system for the recovery of resin and woven/full-length fiber that does not require the use of heat nor the introduction of any additional chemical components outside of our formulations for recycling; (2) enabling full recovery and re-usability of our resin.
RECYCLABLE ADVANCED CARBON FIBER COMPOSITES
Mallinda has developed a completely closed loop system for the recovery of both polymer and carbon fiber from CFRC end-of-life products and scrap materials. Our patented recycling process takes advantage of the reversible chemistry of our material, generating no excess waste, and using almost no energy. Both the recovered carbon fiber and the recovered resin can be reused to make fresh composite materials.
RANGE OF PROCESSING TEMPERATURES & MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
Mallinda's vitrimer resins can be formulated to have a range of vitrimer transition temperatures. Our resins can be molded at temperatures as low as ~20 C and as high as ~240 C, depending on formulation. In some applications, this feature has the benefit of allowing end-users to custom mold our resin or composites derived therefrom, to suit the end user's needs without the use of expensive and massive industrial equipment.
In addition, Mallinda's material can be formulated for a range of mechanical properties - from elastomeric to crystalline.
IMPROVED LOGISTICS
Due to the unique nature of vitrimer chemistry our prepreg and resin arrive pre-cured. There is no requirement for refrigerated storage and transport. Mallinda's materials are indefinitely shelf stable under ambient conditions.
REPROCESSABLE FOR THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Mallinda's resin may be recycled many times over. The fully cured resin may be isolated using precursors from the initial resin synthesis. After isolation, simply balancing the resin formulation as needed enables full reusability.
The plastic may also be ground into a powder and reformed into new shapes with heat and pressure. This both increases the input lifetime vis-a-vis recycling and reduces the energy required during re-purposing.
In addition, Mallinda's ability to implement solid state thermoforming could revolutionize production of powder-based composite materials.
Chris Kaffer is the CEO and Co-founder of Mallinda. He holds a Ph.D. in Immunology from UC, Berkeley, and an MBA from CU, Boulder. He has led the company's funding and commercialization strategies raising over $2.5 million in non-dilutive funding to reduce technical and market risk, and $2 million in strategic capital from SABIC to scale commercial processes.

NASA's satellite probe MESSENGER has finally reached Mercury, passing by as it gradually slows itself to enter orbit in 2010. Since it was in the vicinity, NASA took the opportunity to obtain some images of the planetary surface. This is the first time a satellite has revisited Mercury since Mariner 10 in 1974-75. Because of the orbital mechanics of Mariner, it only photographed 45% of Mercury's surface, so NASA has focused on presenting images of the hitherto hidden side of the planet.
Before looking at some of the new MESSENGER images, let's briefly review three of the key aspects of Mercury's planetary geology that Mariner 10 illustrated over 30 years ago. First, Mercury has an Fe-Ni core that is proportionally way bigger than predicted by the classical theory for the formation of the Rocky Planets.
... where we can see impact craters with peaks, double-ring impact craters, old flooded impact craters, young ejecta rays, and ridges. There's nothing here that Mariner didn't already show us, but the quality of the image is very good. At first glance, depending on where you look, the surface of Mercury seen through MESSENGER's eyes is rather similar to Earth's Moon. However, elsewhere there are major differences, some of which were already spotted by the old Mariner probe, and are now very nicely illustrated by MESSENGER.
At first glance, depending on where you look, the surface of Mercury seen through MESSENGER's eyes is rather similar to Earth's Moon. However, elsewhere there are major differences, some of which were already spotted by the old Mariner probe, and are now very nicely illustrated by MESSENGER.
Here's an image with two large craters. The older one is a double-ring crater that has been filled to the brim by volcanic lava that blends into volcanic plains that are themselves peppered with younger impact craters. The younger one has a flat floor flooded by volcanic lava - but note the very rough, pockmarked texture of the planetary surface immediately adjacent to it.
Similarly, in a second image you can see two very different landscapes. In the North are old impact craters which are separated from each other by extremely rough pockmarking. In contrast, the central and southern parts of the image show an extensive, shapeless, smooth region made of volcanic lava cut by fewer, smaller impact craters, but you can also see that the lava plains have flooded and drowned larger, older craters. These features are very different from Earth's Moon where heavy pockmarking is rare, and where extensive lava plains are confined to the interiors of well defined, more or less circular Impact Basins.
A third image shows a detail of the volcanic plains flooding older impact craters and their pockmarked shoulders.
Now consider a more detailed MESSENGER image that shows a large crater (right) surrounded by pockmarked terrain. Notice the radial crater chains associated with the pockmarking. The crater chains are formed by debris ejected from the impact crater, and this tell us that the associated pockmarks also represent locally derived debris that was tossed up above the impact site and fell very close to the impact crater. This is very different to the behaviour of impact debris on Earth's Moon that is ejected so far that it can fly halfway round the Moon before landing, such as those bright rays we can see extending from the crater Tycho in the Moon's southern hemisphere. So why the difference ? Gravity ! Mercury is about 40% the size of the Earth, but because it has an unusually large Ni-Fe core it's average density is about the same as that of the Earth, all of which adds up to about 40% of the Earth's gravity. However, the Moon, at about 25% the size of the Earth, with a very small Ni-Fe core, has less than 25% of the Earth's gravity. Therefore, impact debris doesn't fly as far on Mercury as it does on the Moon.
So we can now summarise the essential elements of impact features commonly present on Mercury, as seen by MESSENGER. Double-ring craters do occur on Earth's Moon, but they are much more common on Mercury, and smaller in size. Again, this is a function of Mercury's greater gravity. The immediate vicinity of the impact crater is pockmarked by locally derived impact ejecta associated with radial secondary impact crater chains. Finally, it just so happens that in this summary image, in contrast to previous images in this presentation, the impact and pockmarking is clearly younger than the smooth volcanic plains to the left of this image. Because the major phase of impact cratering in the Solar System is associated with the Great Bombardment that ended at ~3.8 billion years ago, the presence of smooth lavas that drown older craters - but which are also heavily impacted by younger ones - tells us that the lava plains are probably about 3.8 billion years old as well. This highlights yet another difference with Earth's Moon, where the lavas that filled up the giant Impact Basins are 100's of millions of years younger than the end of the Great Bombardment.
Changing focus, the most obvious feature in this MESSENGER image is the large double-ring crater, but the most interesting features are contractional ridges - the largest of which runs from upper left to lower right. Let's zoom in on two areas in the upper left and centre fields (yellow boxes).
This is an incredibly detailed MESSENGER image of a section of the contractional ridge in centre field of the previous image. If you look very carefully you can see how the planetary crust on the right has moved westwards over the crust on the left and partially buried the small crater near the middle of the image. You can literally see how the mercurial crust moved during planetary contraction. Note how it cuts SSW across the floor of a major impact crater in the upper left corner of this image, and forms a scarp high enough to cast a striking shadow. As it cuts across the terraced crater rim, the contractional ridge turns to run SSE towards the lower right where it is cut by a younger impact crater. Despite accommodating enough movement to form a marked scarp, the displacement on the contractional fracture was not enough to off-set the old crater rim. This minor movement is characteristic of Mercury's contractional ridges all over the planet.
This image is also a detail of a curved (SSW to SE) contractional ridge cutting across an older terraced impact crater rim, located to the NW of the previous image. It too is cut by a later impact crater.
A collage of Mariner (right) and MESSENGER (left) images of the Caloris multi-ring Impact Basin illustrates the effect of sun angle on planetary photography. The multi-ring basin is much better resolved in the older Mariner images because the sun angle was very low (note the shadows in the associated impact craters). In contrast, the basin is invisible on the MESSENGER image where the absence of shadows in impact craters shows that the sun angle was much higher. The sensitivity of mercurial topography to sun angle is yet another illustration of the effect of gravity : the multi-ring ridges are much lower than those on the Moon and require a low sun angle to be visible.
The last MESSENGER image in this presentation is the one that NASA is making a lot of fuss about; unnecessary fuss ! This feature is an array of radial fractures some several 100's of kilometres across. In typical NASA fashion, they call it the "Spider" and associate it with the impact crater near its centre (centre is yellow circle). If the impact crater was really associated with all these radial cracks, it might indeed be a unique feature in the Solar System - as NASA claims. But it's nothing of the kind, the crater is clearly off-centre and is a late feature that formed after the radial fractures. Now let's look at this image through geological eyes. If you look carefully in the lower centre field, you can see that a "fracture" is clearly more than a simple "crack". It is a narrow rift valley with a flat valley floor, and if you look very carefully you can see that this is the case for all the radiating features. This is a very common feature on Earth. Radiating mini-rift valleys represent a failed volcano, albeit a very big one here on Mercury. Lava (molten rock) rose as a narrow plume from the planetary interior - but did not reach the surface, so it pushed up the planetary surface which cracked radially as it bulged and stretched. The lava ran out radially along the cracks and - as it cooled and crystallised to form solid rock - it shrank. As the injected lava shrank - the roof of rock above the vertical lava sheet dropped down to form the narrow mini-rift. Such features are known on Earth and on Venus where even larger versions are referred to a radiating dyke swarms.
MESSENGER has sent us back some wonderfully detailed images.
Geologically speaking, there's nothing new that the old Mariner probe hadn't already shown us (except for the "Spider"), but the new images are extraordinarily detailed.
The "hidden" side of Mercury does not contain any unexpected surprises.


Every year dogs bite or attack thousands of people, many of them children. Injuries inflicted in these kinds of attacks tend to be particularly painful and dangerous. A large percentage of them become infected or result in severe scarring. Fortunately, in Colorado, dog bite victims can collect damages from the animal's owner to cover the cost of their injuries. They do so by filing a personal injury lawsuit in court. For help suing for dog bites, please contact an experienced Colorado dog bite lawyer who can explain your legal options.
Protracted loss or impairment of a body part function.
A dog that was working on a farm or ranch or was being used for hunting or herding is responsible for the attack.
Otherwise, dog bite victims will be eligible to collect economic damages. Of course, the injuries must have caused serious injuries. The damages compensate them for monetary losses, such as treatment-related medical bills and lost wages.
Most states use either negligence or strict liability rules when it comes to prosecuting dog bite cases. Colorado is unique in that it uses a combination of both legal theories. Sometimes a dog bite victim sustains an injury that is not severe enough to satisfy the definition of a serious bodily injury. The victim still has the option of filing a negligence-based claim against the animal's owner. The injured party must prove that he or she sustained an injury because the owner failed to use reasonable care to restrain his or her animal.
However, dog owners can still be liable even if they were not negligent. There must be evidence that they knew or should have known that the animal had a tendency to bite. Unlike the one bite rule, this does not mean that a dog must have bitten someone on a prior occasion. There are other indicators of a dog being dangerous. For this reason, the injured party must only prove that the animal had a tendency to bite. One can demonstrate this tenacity through evidence of the animal's generally violent nature.
Those who sustain injuries other than those caused by dog bites can also use this theory. For example, suppose a dog knocked a person and broke his or her arm. That individual could seek compensation by filing a negligence-based claim.
Unlike strict liability claims, injured parties can collect non-economic damages. Collecting these damage requires proving negligence. These damages include emotional distress and pain and suffering. There is, however, a limit to the amount of non-economic damages that a person can collect. This is because Colorado law caps the amount of non-economic damages that an injured party can collect at $250,000. If the victim can provide evidence of physical impairment or disfigurement, the Court can lift the cap.
Fortunately, even when a dog bite victim was partially at fault for an attack, he or she can still collect compensation. Colorado is a modified comparative fault state. This means that injured parties can recover damages even if they contributed in some way to their accident. Their degree of fault must be under 50 percent. However, the Court reduces the amount of damages by an amount that is equal to their percentage of fault.
In Colorado, dog bite victims only have two years from the date of their injury to file a claim against the animal's owner. Once this deadline expires, courts will usually prohibit the claim from going forward. This could mean that the injured party loses out on the opportunity to collect compensation for medical bills, lost wages, loss of future income, property damage, and pain and suffering. You don't want to miss this deadline and you need to comply with all other procedural requirements. For help, please contact a member of our legal team who can walk you through the claim filing process.
Dog bites are physically painful. But they also leave victims with traumatic memories. In some cases, bites even cause severe scarring or disfigurement. Collecting compensation from the animal's owner is often the only way that dog bite victims can pay off resulting medical bills. So, if someone else's dog bit or attacked you, please contact the Law Office of Steve Roberts, LLC. Call (720) 515-7058 to speak with an experienced dog bite attorney who can evaluate your case and explain your legal options.


Typical. I've seen this advertised for years and never entered.
This is the first week I've ever participated and I'm 40 all out.
Yeah, done well since WC in 19 tbf. May have to take my first hit this week though.
Entering LMS or giving it a miss? Kickoff is the deadline.
It says 'league closed to new entries'?
why ? would you keep both or you dont like the city mid ?
Did the people who are selling Kane without waiting on news also sell Rashford when he was yellow flagged this week?!
Some probably did, some probably didnt. The problem with Kane is that if you have Salah, a £1m or more saving on a premium forward is handy in midfield or defence. He blanked today and some will search for a better option and forget about his 5 goals and 2 assists in 7, myself included, thats all.
Probably moving tonight, which is possibly unwise...top or bottom?
Kola to TAA too early?
No prices changes for them tonight?
My team for next week looks strong but it is made up of just five teams; Wolves, United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Everton. Does anyone else have a similar lack of variety?
Yes. Apart from Kane and Felipe A. The other 9 players are from liverpool, Everton, United And Wolves.
Sterling score predictions for tomorrow?
1-1 or easy City win.
TAA probably but either is valid - depends a bit how exposed you are for the gw27 blanks too I guess.
I hope Sane plays tomorrow!
Think I'd play Digne over Luiz. Currently I have Digne starting over Doherty but very unsure on those 2.
Don't bench auba, he is a brilliant goalscorer and would not count on him to not score just because he havent done well in these games earlier.
I was top of my ML at Xmas but after some bad weeks I'm down to 4th, I've used my 2FT to bring in Salah... but moving forward how do I go about stopping the rot and getting back to the top??
Hazard to Pogba for free????
Yep. Extra cash helps elsewhere.
Fulham away then 3 home games in a row Watford Newcastle Leicester then Burnley away.
Where did they sell Dembele?
Anyone think Nasri was priced to low at 5.5? I'm not a fan of his, but if he gets consistent starts, I might have to think twice about Anderson.
Considering I think he has the start over Snoddy yes..
Do you consider that Sane gets any gametime tomorrow? I need him to play to win against ML rival.
How are you doing this GW mate?
Not too bad. 58 so far. I've had a terrible few weeks though.
Interesting. 75 all out here too at 10k but was expecting to slide tomos.
Went to 2.1k to 5.6k this week, and will continue to fall with no-one tomoro.
Digne to TAA for (-4)?
Digne ....., the gift that keeps on giving ?
No.. Great fixtures coming up for the Dig.. GW27 is the time to shift.
Not happy with so much of this squad.
Worth a wildcard to sort keepers, get pool defence, get salah and city?
Nope. You can get Salah in two moves if Kane is out. How many Fts do you have?
City players arent that highly owned so prob not that big a drop. Id look at kane to Rashford and Son to Salah. No need to use your WC.
Son to Sane is my Sub this week, that said I do not want to do it tonight before tomorrows game as Sane may be injured or KDB or Sterling might be better picks.
However Son is dropping and Sane is rising tonight and 0.2m is important!
Why are people selling Kane already??
On here or in general? If it's in general it's because nobody else cares that much.
Because he died, didn't he?
Debatable if he was good value at 12.5 anyway and the potential injury gives an excuse to push the button.
To give the rest of us an easy win.
I wouldn't say Rashford is kneejerk - OGS has shown he has faith in him since he came.
My best gw rank of the season at 19,382 - unfortunately unless Wolves to a real job on City tomorrow that aint gonna stay though lol. Kinda want City to win as a neutral to keep the title race interesting so City 3-2, Jiminez brace with City scorers spread and lesser owned please!

IPL 2020 | Changed my stance, technique and trigger movement to score runs in IPL, admits Andre Russell
Russell admits changing his technique in IPL 2020
>international
Andre Russell has admitted that he had changed his stance, technique and put on a new trigger movement after nothing was going his way just to score runs in the IPL. He also added that 'country' comes before anything for him and reasoned 'not being in the right headspace' for denying national duty.
KKR suffered one of their worst runs in the IPL, on the back of Andre Russell's wretched form where he was not getting any sort of momentum going with his willow. After watching his form wither away, the Jamaican all-rounder also changed his stance, technique and brought out a new trigger movement to bring back his appetite for runs, which evidently didn't work out for him.
"When he [Harper] reached out to me, I told the chairman that my headspace is not clear. I changed my stance, I changed my technique, I changed my trigger movement, all these things I changed just to score runs in IPL and nothing was going my way," Russell told a Jamaica-based TV network SportsMax.
Having swapped bubbles from the Caribbean Premier League to the Indian Premier League, Russell also admitted that the pressure was 'real' and he just wanted everything to go behind him very quickly with the game coming in thick and fast.
"The pressure was real. I'm a tough player, and I didn't know I could actually feel what happened during this year's IPL. And I just wanted everything to go quickly behind me," he added.
It was during this time, the all-rounder received a call from West Indies' chief selector Roger Harper before they decided the squad to face New Zealand. Russell revealed his conversation with Kieron Pollard, where he admitted that he was 'struggling' and wasn't in a good headspace with runs seemingly evading him.
"The chairman reached out to me while I was playing IPL, but before that, I was talking to Pollard. And Pollard asked me and said: "Russ, I'm not forcing you, I'm just asking you: "Are you coming to New Zealand?" I said, "yeah, man, I would want to come, but right now, Polly, my headspace is messed up. I'm struggling, I'm not getting no runs, all of this," he added.
After missing out from the series against New Zealand, Russell was seen performing at his best in the Lanka Premier League, which irked the Windies fans and the management on his decision. However, Russell affirmed that playing for West Indies comes first to him ahead of other things in cricketing life.
"Playing for West Indies comes first for me. And the energy and effort that I put out playing for West Indies, I wouldn't do it playing anywhere else. Sometimes people don't understand what a player like myself goes through with niggles and all of those things. But they're just going to judge, and it's easy for them to judge," he said.
While his call later to be included in the squad for New Zealand series was too late, Russell admitted that at the age of 32, he's more conscious in taking the right decisions on the field which would still keep him in the right form and shape.
"I'm 32 years old now, I've been injury-prone for the last couple of years, struggling with knee injury, and having hamstring injuries and stuff like that. I don't want anyone to say that next time Andre Russell puts on the West Indies colours, he's going to get injured. No one walks out on the field and say "I'm going to get injured today, no player."

Statins side effects: Two neurological side effects to be aware of – how to 'reverse' it
by thesunbest
Statins lower the level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in the blood, which is often referred to as "bad cholesterol", and statins reduce the production of it inside the liver. It is thought that more than seven million Britons take these drugs. You may need to take statins if you've had a heart attack or stroke, in order to reduce your risk of another cardiac event. You usually have to continue taking statins for life because if you stop taking them, your cholesterol will return to a high level within a few weeks.
The Mayo Clinic notes that the FDA warns on statin labels that some people have developed "memory loss or confusion" while taking statins.
It states: "These side effects reverse once you stop taking the medication. There is limited evidence to prove a cause-effect relationship, but talk to your doctor if you experience memory loss or confusion while taking statins."
The NHS says that there are five types of statin available on prescription in the UK. They include atorvastatin, fluvastatin pravastatin, rosuvastatin and simvastatin.
The NHS notes that many people who take statins experience no or very few side effects, though others will experience "some troublesome, but usually minor, side effects, such as diarrhoea, a headache or feeling sick".
READ MORE: Omicron variant symptoms: The telltale sign that comes out at 'night' – doctor's update
It notes that a review of scientific studies into the effectiveness of statins found around one in every 50 people who take the medicine for five years will avoid a serious event, such as a heart attack or stroke, as a result.
The NHS recommends maintaining cholesterol levels below 5mmol/L.
In the UK, however, three out of five adults have a total cholesterol of 5mmol/L or above, and the average cholesterol level is about 5.7mmol/L, which can be a risk factor in heart disease.
The health body adds that statins can occasionally cause muscle inflammation and damage.
Rare side effects include loss of sensation or tingling in the nerve endings of the hands and feet, and tendon problems. Uncommon side effects include skin problems, such as acne or an itchy red rash.
It suggests: "Speak to your doctor if you have muscle pain, tenderness or weakness that cannot be explained – for example, pain that is not caused by physical work."
Most statins are taken at night, as this is when most of your cholesterol is produced, according to the British Heart Foundation (BHF).
The BHF says: "It's important to take your medication regularly as prescribed. Most statins are taken at night, as this is when most of your cholesterol is produced. Check with your doctor or pharmacist when you should be taking your statin."
The charity also notes that a research study suggested that in very rare cases statins may increase your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
"However statins are among the safest and the most studied medications available today," it suggests.
Grapefruit or grapefruit juice affects some statins. One of the most adverse interactions can occur on simvastatin, a commonly prescribed statin.
"Grapefruit juice increases the level of simvastatin in your blood and makes side effects more likely," warns the NHS.
The Yellow Card Scheme allows you to report suspected side effects from any type of medicine you're taking.
It's run by a medicines safety watchdog called the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
The purpose of the scheme is to provide an early warning that the safety of a medicine or a medical device may require further investigation.
Side effects reported on Yellow Cards are evaluated, together with additional sources of information such as clinical trial data.

Are you still advertising your real estate business through signs on the side of the road? Are you only informing buyers of homes for sale through the image listings in your window? These outdated methods of real estate marketing in Toronto are no longer enough to keep you ahead of the competition and foster business success. Instead, it's time to inform yourself of some local marketing facts and come up with some unique real estate marketing ideas in response.
The Q2 real estate report indicated that, on average, a home in Toronto stayed on the market for only 13 days, and sold for just over $978 000. From a marketing perspective, this means professionals need real estate marketing tools that can get their sale in the face of the target audience quickly or it will be snapped up before the ideal buyer has a chance to see it.
The average price of a detached home fell 9% in the first half of 2018. But in certain neighbourhoods, such as Trinity-Bellwoods and Little Italy, detached homes are making strides and markedly increasing – by as much as 17 percent. Marketing to target and niche audiences and locations is an example of a sound and unique real estate marketing idea which can be applied to garner more business.
With the increasing cost of buying a home, and the high value down payment that is typically required, those who are looking to buy, are finding resourceful and inventive ways to make it happen. Marketers should find inventive ways to reach an audience as well, knowing that many are not choosing the traditional route when it comes to first-time ownership.
Houses cost double what they did a decade ago and the Swiss Bank has ranked Toronto at the top of its Global Real Estate Bubble Index. This puts Toronto above London, San Francisco and other "known as unaffordable cities" when it comes to being able to purchase a home. Real estate marketing in Toronto requires marketers to paint a picture of how to make housing affordable, not that it is unaffordable.
Scarcity tactics are one factor that is playing a role in home price increases. When homes appear limited, potential buyers offer more, are willing to pay more, and act faster than if they didn't think there was a timeline on the property. This same mentality can be applied to digital marketing: crafting a marketing strategy that indicates a sense of urgency and encourages buyers to act quickly is one of several unique real estate marketing ideas that professionals can apply.
Whether you need help with marketing, need some ideas to get you started, or simply feel like your current marketing strategy isn't bringing you success, Agent8 is here to help. Reach out to us today to find out how we offer real estate marketing tools to companies all across Toronto to situate them ahead of the competition in their digital presence.

The Relationship Between Employment Equity Perceptions and Psychological Ownership in a South African Mining House: The Role of Ethnicity
Chantal Olckers*, Llewellyn van Zyl
Psychological ownership is a cognitive–affective construct based on individuals' feelings of possessiveness towards and of being psychologically tied/attached to objects that are material (e.g. tools or work) and immaterial (e.g. ideas or workspace) in nature. Research suggests that psychological ownership could be influenced by various individual, organisational and contextual factors. The South African Employment Equity Act, which was implemented to grant equitable opportunities to previously disadvantaged employees, could be a significant contextual factor affecting psychological ownership, due to perceptions associated with inequality. Ethnicity may also act as a moderator for the relationship between perceptions of employment equity and psychological ownership. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between employment equity perceptions and psychological ownership and to explore whether ethnicity plays a moderating role in the relationship. A cross-sectional survey design was employed with a purposeful sample of 202 respondents employed in a large South African mining house. Pearson product–moment correlations and structural equation modelling confirmed that employment equity perceptions could predict the five components of psychological ownership. However, the results revealed that ethnicity has no moderating effect on the relationship between perceptions of employment equity and the emergence of psychological ownership. By implication, organisations that seek to retain employees targeted through equity initiatives need to find ways to enhance and develop the psychological ownership of these employees. The research contributes new insights into and knowledge of how contextual factors could influence employees' psychological ownership.

The future of A.I (Artificial Intelligence) is getting brighter by the day as companies like Google and Microsoft have invested billions of dollars in developing the next generation of super computers.
A team of researchers at Microsoft and University of Cambridge have developed an Artificial Intelligence that'll write code all by itself.
The A.I is called 'DeepCoder' and from the reports we got, one will be able to present their idea to the A.I and let it do all the necessary code in just seconds. This will not only revoluntionise Internet business as we know it but a dark future awaits those that have spent their lives and resources in becoming software developers.
According to Armando Solar-Lezama a professor at MIT, DeepCoder may not necessary put software developers out of business but, it will give the programmers a chance to work with more sophisticated problems, while the AI takes care of the tedious dirty-work.
It works through a method called program synthesis, which essentially means stealing lines of code from other finished software.
At the moment, DeepCoder still has a long way to go but its capbale of solving basic programming challenges not more than five lines of code at a time. But, it's just starting out.
The advantages of DeepCoder are that it can work faster & swiftly to put together programs in ways humans may not have been able to. Plus, it has a great memory – reminding itself which code worked last time and which didn't.
DeepCoder presents a brighter future for non-coders and a limitless number of possibilities on how to handle programming problems giving software developers a huge leap in application development.
But, is it really a savior or a sign to mankind that very soon machines are going to take our jobs.
Some even believe that A.I may eventually become self-aware and veiw mankind as a threat hence leading to war. If you watched the Terminator movies, you definietly get the idea.
However, DeepCoder is an amazing revelation and will change the course of history in the programming arena. But those that worry about losing their jobs, keeping an open mind & adapting to the changes so that you don't go extinct.


Fabergé created many, many miniature animals. Several of them were part of a big animal-commission called the Sandringham Commission, ordered by King Edward VII in 1907. I've already shown you a few critters from that collection, and here comes another one - a little rat!
The rat is made of chalcedony and has silver ears and a silver tail, both set with rose diamonds. The dimensions of the little animal are 0.9'' x 1.8'' x 0.8'' (2.2 x 4.6 x 2 cm), and it now lives in the Royal Collection.

Q: Setting sound output device per program I have 2 sound output devices - digital and regular aux.
When I want to change the audio output from aux to digital (headphones) the sound of the application is still going through the aux although I changed the default audio device. Which means I have to restart the application to make the sound go through the headphones.
Anyway to see which application's sound go through which device and change it without having to restart the program?

While most business are doing some form of disaster recovery, most of the time it is in the form of data backup. That means all those Word documents, PDF's, spreadsheets and images are being copied and moved off your network hard drive someplace else, usually every night.
Maybe the external hard drive that saves these copies is sitting next to the server in your IT closet. Maybe the server is zipping the data file up and sending to an offsite server in a data center somewhere. Maybe the data is being saved locally and offsite. All good solutions - for DATA. But ask yourself, how much time have you spent over the past year adding fields, changing fonts and colors or creating macros in those spreadsheets?
So, in closing, make sure you're disaster recovery plan includes a real path to surviving a disaster, not a phony one your IT provider sold you. What good will it do you to have your data and have to populate new versions of your programs that need to be configured all over again.
