If you have ever visited a local dirt track, or any local short track for that matter, you know the thrill of the loud engines and fumes in the air as the driver's battle for position, and the inevitable crashes which arise from the hard racing. Step into Ragbag's newest title, Dirt Track Racing: Sprint Cars, and you will feel right at home.
Dirt Track Racing: Sprint Cars, henceforth known as DTRSC, features 16 drivers and 19 tracks including Eldora Speedway and Knoxville Speedway. For those who are not familiar with this series, it is a Dirt Track racing series that is largely popular in North America. The World of Outlaws series has grown in popularity over the last few years because of the great competition and spectacular crashes.
DTRSC is very similar to its predecessor Dirt Track Racing, but an updated physics engine and an all-new damage model are the largest changes. Several Sprint Car games have been released as of late, but nothing comes close to the precise physics of DTRSC. A thin manual, and no jewel case are a big hit to the presentation area of the game. The manual includes some general tips to using the garage area, as well as how to use some of the features included in the game. The navigational menus look good, and are very easy to navigate. Loading times were good, and it only took a few seconds to go from the navigation screens to entering a track and beginning a race. The physics engine presented in DTRSC completely makes up for the thin manual.
The physics in DTRSC are top notch. If you have never driven a dirt car before, which is most likely, it will take some getting used to driving around corners completely sideways. Make contact with a wall and the car will barrel roll, with fenders digging into the mud sending you into a spiral. Touch another cars wheel at speed and find yourself upside down in the middle of the track. Although I have never driven a sprint car, or any dirt car before, we can get a general idea of what it feels like, and the feeling is similar to that of driving on ice. If you are into dirt cars, or just want to drive your heart out, then DTRSC is definitely a choice for you. We discovered very few problems with the physics engine, but did encounter one minor issue after several hours of play. If a car is at a very high rate of speed and becomes involved in a wreck, sometimes the car will roll hundreds of times before the game marks the car as wrecked. This is not correct, and I have never heard of any car rolling a few hundred times in my entire life. Besides this glitch, which only affected us on rare occurrences, the physics are simply incredible.
DTRSC includes a garage area where players can modify a lot on the car. Although this is more for the experienced simulation racer, it is an excellent way to perfect the handling of the car to match your driving style. Many of the features seen in the garage were completely new to me, and I had no clue what each did. However, after about an hour of tweaking the setup, you get a general idea of what the main features do and how they affect the handle of the car. Ragbag has done an excellent job on the garage. Also, DTRSC features a race replay feature. This is good for what has been implemented , but could be improved as it has limited camera views and is very hard to find a specific spot on the replay, without viewing the whole race. Overall, it does an adequate job, but could be improved.
If you have ever wanted to operate a Sprint Car team, or any race car team for that matter, DTRSC will appeal to you. A full featured career mode has been included, where good finishes are rewarded with sponsership opportunities. The more income you recieve, the more you can afford to improve the specifics of your car. This feature is very welcome, as few, if any racing simulations have included a feature such as this before.
The graphics presented in DTRSC are very similar to those of its predecessor. The tracks are very precise, and the car model is very detailed. The graphics could be improved, as there is several minor clipping problems, although nothing which affects the overall playability of the game. The in-car view is good, and very realistic. The details on the tracks are outstanding, as the infields contain trailers and several small buildings, while the outside of the track is decorated with stands and trees, as well as billboards. The graphics appeared smooth, and on a mid-range video card, we receive very good framerates with all graphics turned to the top and a resolution at 800x600. Ratbag is the master at keeping resources low, while also delivering excellent graphics. Although very similar to its predecessor, the graphics are still very good, with few graphical problems.
The sound in DTRSC is one aspect of the game that is seriously lacking. The engine sound is very good, but that is one of basically only a few sounds really noticed, the others being those of crashing and the announcer. The crash sounds are good as well, but the announcer is extremely repetitive, saying the same thing at the beginning of every event. When a crash occurs, he says one of only a few sayings included within the game. The motor and crash sound effects are good, but a larger variety of sounds would improve the title significantly.
The artificial intelligence of the opponents in DTRSC is almost the same as found in its predecessor. They have not been improved much, if any. The AI in Dirt Track Racing was very good, as they will race side by side, and this is the same in DTRSC. The computer opponents crash with each other quite often, and it is not uncommon to discover a car barrel rolling in front of you. Cut an opponent off, and they will often bump you in the rear resulting in a wreck. Overall, DTRSC features excellent artificial intelligence in its opponents, even though it is the same found in DTR.
Multiplayer is one of the most important features in a racing simulation, or so it has appeared as of late. Using GameSpy Arcade connection software, provided on the DTRSC CD, up to 10 players can face off against each other in a race to the finish. GameSpy is a great tool which allows players to join a race without being required to know an IP, common in many newer titles.
The damage model found in Dirt Track Racing: Sprint Cars has been improved significantly from its predecessor. Damage was virtually nonexistent in DTR, but is clearly visible in DTRSC. If you roll the car and land on your wheels, the whole top wing on the car will be a crumpled mess, completely un-repairable. If you should happen to bump the wall or another car with the front of your sprint car you will certainly know it, as the car will not be able to get up to speed. Hit a wheel, against a wall, and don't be surprised to see it go flat, resulting in a spin and you receiving the black flag. This is one area where Ratbag has made significant improvements over the original DTR, and the great damage model makes the game play much more enjoyable.
Ragbag's first racing simulation, Dirt Track Racing, was an excellent game, but was not overly popular due to the low popularity of Dirt Racing at the time of its release. With the growing popularity of Sprint Car Racing, and the outstanding physics engine, DTRSC is a great success for Ratbag.

Charlotte wasn't hungry so she was quietly preoccupying herself while my husband and I ate dinner.
After what felt like a lifetime of quiet, Reece asked "where's Charlotte?"
he peaked into the living room, turned back to me, and then told me to take a look at what she was doing. I leaned forward and found my 2 year old daughter, standing with my phone, the camera opened and facing her while she so innocently smiled.
It hit my mama heart like a ton of bricks.
I was upset for the rest of the evening and it has been on my mind the last few days.
All I can think about is how she learned to do that from her mama.
She has watched me over a dozen times take pictures of Reece and I, of myself, or of us two together.
I never saw it in a negative way until I saw her doing it herself.
You see, she has no idea what she is doing. She's simply mimicking what she sees others do.
One of my favorite ways to express my creativity is through writing and snapping pictures of everyday moments.
Never was I really thinking about the kind of impact it had on our children.
Never was I thinking my online presence must be somewhat time consuming that my toddler picked up my phone habits.
I want my girls to know that their value and worth will never ever be determined through social media. That a like, a heart, a laughing emoji doesn't determine if they fit in or not. I pray that when my girls are in their teen's social media is a thing of the past and we get back to living our life without a screen in our hand.
I want my girls to know me for: always waking up before the sun, for always having her bible out every morning, for her crazy addiction to coffee, for her love of books and fresh flowers, for cooking and baking in the kitchen, for freshly clean floral sheets, for my bubbly personality, for the love I have for their father, for my devotion to them, for making their house a home, for showing them where their true worth and value comes from, and for being an honest, loving, and vulnerable inspiration to those who need it.
Not for that selfie I snapped.
not every beautiful moment needs to be shared or documented with the world. beautiful moments should simply be lived and embraced intimately in that moment.
Which is why I've decided to change my online presence.
I deleted Instagram well over a year ago which has been amazing, I just recently deleted my snapchat, and now Facebook will only be used to link new blog posts and well...marketplace every now and again haha! because lets face it, that buy and sell page is amazing.
I love to share parts of my life, stories, recipes, etc. with my friends and family and those who simply are looking for a new perspective, inspiration, or uplift. I will continue to do that because i love it! but I decided that I needed to refocus on how I choose to utilize my phone and how frequently i use it.
instead of daily posts on Facebook I'm going to streamline my posts/writing to my blog only. This not only has everything in one place but also encourages me that when I do want to get online it's during the hour of which I spend writing and less on curating stories on Facebook or Snapchat.
the selfie isn't the problem.
the problem is how am i spending my time glorifying God and doing his will for me? am I filling it with 30 minutes of swiping snapchat filters and smiling in the camera with Charlotte? or am I teaching her a new craft or contributing to her growth? It should be the ladder. Puppy Filters aren't doing a thing for her development.
"she watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.


Villa Hills council and mayor want to offer City Administrator Craig Bohman a new contract with a severance package to protect him from firing.
VILLA HILLS – City Council members who lost bids for re-election are working to ensure the city administrator gets a "fair deal" if he is "booted" by a new council, said Mayor Butch Callery.
Callery, one of six of Villa Hills' seven incumbent city leaders to lose re-election bids, said City Administrator/Clerk Craig Bohman didn't request a contract with a severance buyout clause. Council member Scott Ringo was the only current council member re-elected by voters. All council current council members were on the ballot.
"Some of the council members were concerned with the turnover on council that they might get rid of Craig," Callery said.
The draft contract, containing new perks including a $120,000 severance if Bohman is fired, found its way on social media ahead of a Nov. 28 special council meeting to unveil it.
The draft contract included a new perk – use of a city car at all times for business or personal use within 150 miles of Villa Hills.
The contract draft included a raise from $78,000 a year to $80,000. The contract would also give Bohman 15 years seniority to give him more vacation time. Bohman has worked at Villa Hills for five years.
Twenty-six audience seats were filled and residents were lined out the door to get inside the meeting.
Callery removed the contract from the agenda during the meeting.
Council's administration committee will discuss Bohman's contract at a 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 5, meeting. It's likely a special council meeting will be called to consider a contract in December, Callery said.
Eighteen months of severance pay in the proposal is too much, longtime resident Amy Schwarber said after the meeting.
An 18-month severance is what former Cincinnati City Manager Harry Black asked for and didn't get, Schwarber said. Cincinnati settled on eight months of salary eventually.
An eight-month severance sounds fairer, Schwarber said.
Schwarber said use of a city car for personal use is concerning.
"My concern is it is not fair and reasonable for a city of our size to say a city employee needs a car," she said.
The affluent suburb of about 7,400 residents sits atop an Ohio River bluff in Kenton County several miles west of I-75 at Buttermilk Pike.
Bohman declined to comment about the contract proposed contract, saying it was best for elected leaders to comment.
"Several council members would like to see him get a fair deal and not get booted out," Callery said about why a contract is being proposed now.
Helping obtain $345,000 in grant money for needed improvements coming to Buttermilk Pike is only one way Bohman has proven his value, Callery said.
"Myself, I would not want to see him let go just because of some conflicts in personalities," he said.

Q: Nivo Background Position is Being Ignored Would like it someone could help me troubleshoot my css for the background positioning on a nivo slider I'm implementing on a new design.
The background-position is being ignored for .nivo-nextNav and I can't figure out why.
Here is my css:
/* Direction nav styles (e.g. Next & Prev) */
.nivo-directionNav a {
display:block;
width:43px;
height:45px;
background:url(../images/arrows.png) no-repeat;
text-indent:-9999px;
border:0;
}
.nivo-prevNav {
left:0px;
}
.nivo-nextNav {
background-position: -43px 0;
right: 22px;
}

Link to the page: http://www.plumeriawebdesign.com/Headstand%20Software/
I have it working now.  I changed the css for .nivo-directionNav a to the following:
.nivo-directionNav a {
position:absolute;
top:40%;
z-index:9;
cursor:pointer;
width: 43px;
height: 45px;
text-indent:-9999px;
background-image:url(../images/arrows.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

Now the background is positioned properly. Curious though why it works on their default slider on their site and not mine. Strange to me.

A: Your background position is set to the .nivo-nextNav, but .nivo-nextNav doesn't have a background, the link does; the 'a' in .nivo-nextNav a <-
easiest solution: Put the position in the background;
 .nivo-directionNav a {
 .......
 background:url(../images/arrows.png) -43px 0 no-repeat;

A: background-position only positions the background-image. But there is no background-image in your .nivo-nextNav element.
From what I see NivoSlider uses the arrows like this:
.nivo-directionNav a {
    display:block;
    width:30px;
    height:30px;
    background:url(arrow.png) no-repeat;
    text-indent:-9999px;
    border:0;
}
a.nivo-nextNav {
    background-position:-30px 0;
    right:15px;
}
a.nivo-prevNav {
    left:15px;
}

Try using the anchor tag in the beggining of your elements.

Az 1960-as sakkvilágbajnokság a Nemzetközi Sakkszövetség (FIDE) által szervezett 24 játszmás párosmérkőzés, amelyre a címvédő szovjet Mihail Botvinnik és a kihívó szovjet Mihail Tal között a Szovjetunióban, Moszkvában került sor 1960. március 15. – május 7. között.

A mérkőzés Mihail Tal 12½–8½ arányú győzelmével ért véget, ezzel elhódította a világbajnoki címet, és ő lett a sakkozás nyolcadik hivatalos világbajnoka.

Előzmények
Alekszandr Aljechin sakkvilágbajnok 1946-ban bekövetkezett halála miatt a Nemzetközi Sakkszövetség a világ akkor legerősebbnek számító sakkozói részvételével 1948-ban ötfordulós körmérkőzéses versenyt rendezett, amelynek győztese, Mihail Botvinnik lett jogosult a sakkvilágbajnoki cím viselésére.

A FIDE 1946-ban Hágában meghatározta az egyéni világbajnokság további menetének szabályait. Eszerint háromévenként kell világbajnoki párosmérkőzést rendezni, amelyet meg kell előznie a világbajnokjelölt személyét kiválasztó versenysorozatnak, amely zónaversenyekből, egy zónaközi versenyből és egy világbajnokjelölti tornából áll. A versenysorozat győztese játszhat 24 játszmás párosmérkőzést a regnáló világbajnokkal. A FIDE döntött arról is, hogy a párosmérkőzés döntetlen eredménye esetén a világbajnok megtartja címét.

1951-ben David Bronstejn és 1954-ben Vaszilij Szmiszlov is 12–12–es döntetlent játszott a regnáló világbajnokkal, így Botvinnik mindkét esetben megvédte címét.

Az 1957-es sakkvilágbajnokságon Vaszilij Szmiszlovnak második próbálkozásra sikerült elhódítania a világbajnoki címet, miután 12,5–9,5 arányú győzelmet aratott, azonban Botvinnik élve a szabályok biztosította visszavágó lehetőségével 1958-ban 12,5–10,5 arányú győzelmével visszahódította azt.

Zónaversenyek
Az 1957–1960-as világbajnoki ciklusban kilenc zónaversenyre került sor, ezúttal első ízben hivatalosan is megrendezésre került az ázsiai zóna versenye.

Dublin (Írország)
Az 1957. májusban Dublinban rendezett egyik "Európai zóna" versenyt a csehszlovák Pachman nyerte a jugoszláv Gligorić és a magyar Benkő Pál előtt.

Szófia (Bulgária)
A második európai zóna versenyén 1957. májusban Szófiában az első három helyezett kvalifikálta magát a zónaközi versenyre. Az első helyet a csehszlovák Filip szerezte meg, a 2–4. helyen holtverseny alakult ki a lengyel Sliwa, a bolgár Neikirch és a jugoszláv Matanović között. Közülük a rájátszás eredménye alapján Matanović és Neukirch jutott tovább a zónaközi versenyre.

Wageningen (Hollandia)
A harmadik európai zóna versenyén 1957. októberben a hollandiai Wageningenben az első három helyezett kvalifikálta magát a zónaközi versenyre. Az első helyet a magyar Szabó László szerezte meg, a második helyezett izlandi Olafsson előtt, a 3–4. helyen holtversenyben végzett a dán Bent Larsen és a holland Donner. Közülük a rájátszás eredménye alapján Larsen jutott tovább a zónaközi versenyre.

Moszkva, szovjet bajnokság
Az 1958. január–februárban rendezett 25. szovjet sakkbajnokság egyben zónaversenynek is számított. Ebből a zónából négy versenyző juthatott tovább a zónaközi versenyre a közvetlenül a világbajnokjelölti versenyen indulásra jogosult Paul Keres  és Vaszilij Szmiszlov mellett. Az első helyet Mihail Tal szerezte meg Tigran Petroszján előtt, a harmadik David Bronstejn a 4. helyen Jurij Averbah végzett.

New York, Amerika bajnoksága
Az 1957. decemberben rendezett 10. amerikai bajnokság egyúttal a világbajnokság zónaversenyének számított. A győzelmet az ekkor még csak 14 éves Bobby Fischer szerezte meg Reshevsky előtt. Ők ketten kvalifikálták magukat a zónaközi versenyre. Reshevsky visszalépett az indulástól, ezért helyette a versenyen harmadik helyezett Sherwin indulhatott.

Vancouver, Kanada bajnoksága
Az 1957. augusztusban rendezett 54. Kanada bajnokság egyben a világbajnokság zónaversenyének számított. A versenyről az első helyezett juthatott tovább. A győzelmet Vaitonis szerezte meg a magyar származású, Kanadában élő Füstér Géza előtt. Vaitonis később visszalépett az indulástól, ezért a zónaközi versenyen Füstér indulhatott.

Caracas (Venezuela)
A közép-amerikai zóna versenyére 1957. októberben Caracasban került sor, amelyről egy versenyző kvalifikálhatta magát a zónaközi versenyre. Az első helyet a kolumbiai Boris de Greiff szerezte meg.

Rio de Janeiro (Brazília)
Az 1957. augusztusban rendezett dél-amerikai zónaversenyről három versenyző juthatott tovább. Az első helyet Oscar Panno szerezte meg Rossetto és Sanguinetti előtt.

Baguio City (Fülöp-szigetek)
Az első alkalommal megrendezett ázsiai zóna versenyén, amelyre 1957. december – 1958. január között került sor, az első helyet Rodolfo Cardos (Fülöp-szigetek) szerezte meg, ezzel biztosította helyét a zónaközi versenyen való részvételre.

Zónaközi verseny
A zónaversenyek eredményei alapján kialakult mezőny részvételével 1958. augusztus–szeptemberben a jugoszláviai Portorožban zajlott a világbajnokság zónaközi döntője. A kiírás szerint az első hat helyezett juthatott tovább a világbajnokjelöltek versenyére.

A versenyt Tal nyerte Gligoric előtt, a harmadik a későbbi világbajnok Tigran Petroszján lett. A továbbjutók között volt a versenysorozatot magyar színekben kezdő, de időközben disszidált és a versenyjegyzőkönyvben hontalanként jegyzett Benkő Pál, valamint az izlandi Olafsson és az ugyancsak későbbi világbajnok, az akkor még csak 15 éves Bobby Fischer.

A világbajnoki döntő
Az 1957-es világbajnokság döntőjére a világbajnokjelöltek versenyét megnyerő Mihail Tal és a világbajnoki címet 1 év megszakítással  1948 óta védő Mihail Botvinnik között került sor Moszkvában 1960. március 15. – május 7. között.

A világbajnoki mérkőzés előtt még egyetlen versenyjátszmát sem váltottak egymással.

Mihail Tal 1958. októberben vette át a vezetést a világranglistán, és a világbajnoki döntő kezdetén, 1960. márciusban is ő állt az élen.  Botvinnik 1958. októberben még a 3. helyen állt, de a mérkőzés kezdetén már csak a 6. volt. Tal mellett Keres, Petroszján, Szniszlov és Szpasszkij is megelőzte.

A mérkőzés szabályait a FIDE 1949. márciusban Párizsban tartott kongresszusa határozta meg. A győztes az, aki először éri el a 12,5 pontot legfeljebb 24 játszmából. 12–12 esetén a világbajnok megtartja címét. 2,5 óra állt rendelkezésre 40 lépés megtételéhez, majd óránként 16 lépést kellett tenni. Ötórányi játék után a játszma függőben maradt, amelyet másnap folytattak.

Az első játszmát Tal nyerte, majd négy harcos döntetlen következett, és újabb két Tal-győzelemmel, amelyek közül különösen a 6. játszma jellemzi legjobban Tal stílusát, már 5–2-re alakult a mérkőzés állása. Ekkor Botvinnik két győzelemmel 5–4-re felzárkózott, de a 11. játszma megnyerését követően félidőben Tal 7–5-re vezetett. Több döntetlen után a 17. és a 19. játszmában aratott győzelmével Tal már 4 pontos előnyre tett szert, és a 21. játszma után, 12,5–8,5 arányú győzelmével, a mérkőzés  véget ért. Mihail Tal ezzel a sakkozás nyolcadik hivatalos világbajnoka lett.

No, they are being discovered where they are in their (usually fairly stable) orbits. They are not discovered because they are arriving or going to some particular location.
The one exception is long-periodic comets that have fallen in from the Oort cloud and now pass through the inner parts of the solar system, maybe to be captured by the gravity of Jupiter in a closer orbit.
NEOs are too light and small to interact much with each other - the gravitational influence between them is microscopic compared to the influence from the planets which is usually microscopic compared to the sun's influence.
The reason we are seeing a lot more NEOs now is that new instruments are better and more searches are being conducted. LINEAR for example found 231,082 small Solar System bodies (of which 2,423 are NEOs) in the early 2000s and the Catalina Sky Survey has found 6,515 NEOs since 2009.

Shefali Chandra's research and teaching interests coalesce around South Asia's relationship to globalization. She has become increasingly fascinated by India's role in the Cold War.
Shefali Chandra's first book, The Sexual Life of English: Languages of Caste and Desire in Colonial India (Duke University Press, 2012) argues that caste and sexual difference enabled the domestication of English in colonial India. 'Indigenous' regimes of caste and gender made English into an Indian language.
She has continued to explore the transnational trajectory of caste and have written several articles on the rapid mobility and the growing interdependence of racial regimes under capitalism, particularly the many points of contact between Brahmanism and Whiteness. Meanwhile, she has become increasingly fascinated by India's role in the Cold War and will be writing that history by eliciting the sexual politics of postcolonial state power.
Chandra enjoys working with students on Global South Asia, Indian Exceptionalism, the long history of the desire for "India" and the manipulation of that longing, on the reinforcing relationship between imperialism and sexuality, whiteness, and caste.

We might not talk about hair loss among women all that much, but it is a very real problem. The good news is that many women respond very well to vitamin supplements that block DHT and encourage new hair growth. And while not every supplement works equally well for every woman, there are enough choices that you should be able to find one that achieves positive results for you.
As a supplement designed primarily to block DHT, Ultrax Labs Hair Maxx works equally well for both sexes.
Women will find the supplement especially helpful because of the addition of Keratin, a structural protein known to help build thicker and fuller hair.
Hair Maxx also includes vitamins to improve circulation.
Bosley is one of the most trusted names in hair loss treatments. Therefore, it is really no surprise that their Healthy Hair Vitality supplement is very popular.
Healthy Hair Vitality contains a number of vitamins and minerals, including Bosley's lifextend complex to revitalize thinning hair and promote new hair growth.
Lipogaine for Women contains Minoxidil, the most used medication to treat alopecia. It also includes Biotin for healthier and stronger hair as well as a proprietary herbal complex that blocks DHT.
Most importantly, this treatment is not taken orally. It is a liquid applied directly to the hair and scalp.
As one of the less expensive hair loss vitamin products, you might expect Country Life's Maxi Hair to not work well. Nevertheless, it gets good reviews across the Internet.
It contains a long list of essential vitamins and minerals that promote hair growth and a healthy scalp, skin, and nails.
Viviscal Hair Nourish is one of the most popular hair loss products around the world, and one that has been featured on numerous prominent television programs. This extra strength formula is backed by five clinical trials that show it works to block DHT and promote hair growth and a healthy scalp.
If you are a woman suffering from hair loss related to alopecia or any other condition, you do not have to simply accept it. You can try one of these supplements; if none works for you, your doctor might be able to recommend something else.

Hindus urge Connecticut Ballet Conservatory to drop culturally insensitive ballet "La Bayadère"
Hindus are urging The Nutmeg Ballet Conservatory (NBC) in Torrington (Connecticut) to withdraw "La Bayadère" from its upcoming Graduation Performance Series (May 18-21), which they feel seriously trivializes Eastern religious and other traditions.
Distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada today, said that a renowned ballet conservatory like NBC, whose sponsors reportedly include State of Connecticut, should not be in the business of callously promoting appropriation of traditions, elements and concepts of "others"; and ridiculing entire communities.
Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, indicated that this deeply problematic ballet was just a blatant belittling of a rich civilization and exhibited 19th-century orientalist attitudes. He also urged NBC to apologize for such an inappropriate selection.
NBC, which claims to be "committed to creating world-class artists", should have shown some maturity before selecting a ballet like "La Bayadère" (The Temple Dancer) displaying Western caricaturing of Eastern heritage and abetting ethnic stereotyping, Rajan Zed noted.
It was irresponsible for a community organization to choose such a ballet which had been blamed for patronizing flawed mishmash of orientalist stereotypes, dehumanizing cultural portrayal and misrepresentation, offensive and degrading elements, needless appropriation of cultural motifs, essentialism, shallow exoticism, caricaturing, etc. NBC, established in 1969, could do better than this to serve the diverse area communities; Zed stated.
Rajan Zed suggested NBC Executive Director Sharon E. Dante and Artistic Director Victoria Mazzarelli to re-evaluate its systems and procedures and send its executives for cultural sensitivity training so that such an inappropriate stuff did not slip through in the future.
Like many others, Hindus also consider ballet as one of the revered art forms which offers richness and depth. But we are well into 21st century now, and outdated "La Bayadère", which was first presented in St. Petersburg (Russia) in 1877, is long overdue for permanent retirement from the world stage; Zed points out.
The Graduation Performance Series of NBC (which include "La Bayadère") are slated to be in-person and livestream performances from historic Warner Theatre in Torrington.

The Gate City, VA Christmas Parade is held anually, on the first Saturday in December, beginning at 7 PM. It is truly a small town Christmas event that is envied by many a town. Floats, marching bands, clowns, and all the usual parade antics march down Kane Street & Jackson Street celebrating the season and the fellowship of each other. Come early to get a good seat, because this event is a favorite.


This is a fun library icebreaker activity to use with students to introduce them to the library. It works best with students in 3rd through 5th grade. I use it every year with my students and it's a lot of fun. While going over the answers with the students I can easily go over rules and procedures with the students but in a fun and interesting way. I hope you enjoy!

Plant To Reduce Landfill Usage, Methane Emissions
Genahol Energy, LLC has announced that it has reached an agreement with the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio (SWACO) to construct a recycling facility at its landfill in Grove City Township, Ohio.
CLEVELAND, Ohio – April 30, 2002 [SolarAccess.com] The facility will convert paper and green waste into ethanol and other commercial products. Ethanol is an alternative fuel that is primarily used as an additive in gasoline and diesel fuel to reduce harmful emissions. This project is anticipated to save money for taxpayers and will create 60 to 80 jobs over the next 3 to 5 years. "Genahol will provide SWACO and its community members with an innovative solution that advances our goals of slowing landfill usage, reducing methane emissions, improving operational efficiency and saving money," said Michael Long, executive director of SWACO. "This project will be an important step forward, as we work toward achieving state mandates to increase recycling and extend landfill useful lives." Key aspects of this project include: over 750 tons of paper and solid waste will be processed daily, resulting in the production of approximately 10 million gallons of ethanol annually; SWACO will receive a percentage of the ethanol sale proceeds; Genahol anticipates that it will finance the US$40,000,000 project with a combination of debt and equity from investors; the facility payroll is expected to reach approximately US$5,000,000 annually; the plant is not expected to produce emissions or odors. "U.S. drivers use more than 16 billion gallons of cleaner-burning gasoline-ethanol blends annually," said Donald Bogner, founder of Genahol. "The federal government has taken steps to promote usage of alternative fuels and ethanol consumption is projected to expand rapidly over the next decade. The ethanol market in North America is in a state of infancy now and we anticipate that Genahol will participate in the strong growth that we envision."

No lack of bite up front for Three Lions

Besides Sterling and Kane, Southgate can also pick Sancho, Rashford or Abraham
Halfway through qualifying for Euro 2020, England's place at next year's Finals already appears assured, thanks to a prolific forward line that has plundered 19 goals in just four qualifiers.
The Three Lions will be confident of maintaining their 100 per cent record in qualifying when they visit the Czech Republic tomorrow morning (Singapore time) and can even mathematically secure qualification by the time they travel to Bulgaria four days later.
CZECH REPUBLIC ENGLAND
At 26 and 24, Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling are the older heads of a thrilling forward line that threatens to be the envy of Europe next summer.
Kane and Sterling have each scored six times in four qualifiers.
But unlike many major tournaments that ended in disappointment over the past two decades, when England relied on one source of goals from the likes of Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen, Gareth Southgate has a wealth of options to choose from.
Jadon Sancho, 19, scored his first two international goals in the 5-3 victory over Kosovo last month and has edged ahead of Marcus Rashford as the prime candidate to join Sterling and Kane in a front three.
Rashford has struggled for fitness and form in a Manchester United side devoid of creativity, but is still just 21 and has plenty of time to make his case to start at the Euros.
Between them Kane, Sterling and Rashford have 19 goals in the first two months of the English Premier League season, but none of them are even the top-scoring Englishman in the EPL.
Tammy Abraham's electric start to life back at Chelsea after a series of loan spells has earned him an England recall with eight goals in as many league games.
However, he faces the thankless task of trying to usurp Kane to be England's No. 9.
"For me, he's the greatest striker in the world," Abraham, 22, told the Evening Standard.
"When you look at Harry Kane, if he gets a chance in the box, nine times out of 10, it's a goal. So I'll go there learn off him and hopefully be like him."
The competition just to make Southgate's squad next summer is just as fierce in other areas.
In midfield, another promising product of the Chelsea academy, Mason Mount, has overtaken his international teammate Ross Barkley at club level to break into the England senior squad.
James Maddison's wait for a first cap has been prolonged by an illness that forced him to withdraw from the squad yesterday.
However, his time will come as one of the stars of Leicester City's early rise to challengers for a Champions League place in the EPL this season. - AFP

Please bear in mind that assistants and second photographers can get booked out during busy periods so the more notice given the better. If you have queries about any extras not listed here please contact Paul directly – everything is possible!
As it sounds, great for creating custom packages. One extra hour of shooting leads to a large number of extra photographs.
Essential if you need a photographer in two places at the same time! (Bride/Groom getting ready, etc). Two Photographers during the ceremony will likely double the number and variety of shots and during group shots it frees someone up to continue shooting the editorial style that we all love! Second photographers need to be booked as early as possible and are subject to availability.
The primary job of the lighting assistant is to use reflectors and flash-heads to envelope you in magazine style light during the bridal shoot! As well as that they are there to ensure everything runs smoothly and everyone is where they should be in your photos. Having two sets of eyes has a dramatic effect on the smooth running of the shoot and allows Paul to concentrate on what he does best- the photography. An assistant will be there from your ceremony through to the end of the bridal shoot. Have a look here for more detailed information.

The global market for process spectroscopy has witnessed a remarkable rise in its market valuation in recent times. The growing need for accuracy in the manufacturing of various products has triggered the demand for more intensive quality checks, resulting in increasing demand for process spectroscopy.
The rising preference of consumers for high-quality products has led to the immense popularity of spectroscopy technologies. According to a market study published by Transparency Market Research (TMR), a market intelligence and research organization, the global market for process spectroscopy stood at US$714.5 mn in 2012. Analysts estimate this market to expand at a CAGR of 7.40% between 2013 and 2019 and reach a market value of close to US$1.2 bn by the end of 2019.
ABB Ltd., Bruker Corp., Agilent Technologies Inc., Buchi Labortechnik AG, Foss A/S, Danaher Corp., Horiba Ltd., Sartorius, Kett Electric Laboratory, Shimadzu Corp., Yokogawa Electric Corp., and Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. are the key companies functioning in the worldwide process spectroscopy market.
Thermo Fisher Scientific, the leading company in the process spectroscopy market, has recently experienced an increase in institutional sentiments from 0.93 in Q2 to 1.08 in Q3 of 2015. The company's stock is up-trending and has reported a growth of 5.29% since April 2015.
Mergers and acquisitions and the introduction of new products are the latest trends among other prominent participants looking to strengthen their presence. Here is a snapshot of the recent activities of key players in the process spectroscopy market.
Shimadzu Corp. has announced the release of LABNIRS, a functional near-infrared spectroscopy system that offers high-sensitivity, multi-channel optical measurements of blood oxygen level dependent signals originating in the cerebral cortex. Earlier this year, the firm unveiled a monitored single-beam UV-visible spectrophotometer that provides a wide range of measurement options.
Horiba Ltd., a major company in optical and Raman spectroscopy systems for more than 50 years, introduced the second version of their SWIFT module for HD, ultrafast confocal Raman imaging in March 2015. The module provides a robust yet cost-efficient route to use the optimum power of Raman imaging in the lab. In the previous year, the company acquired Photon Technology Int., a key manufacturer of microscopy-based spectro-fluorometers, in a bid to increase its presence in the market for fluorescence spectroscopy.
ABB Ltd., one of the prime enterprises operating in the global process spectroscopy market, recently launched a single-point industrial FT-NIR analyzer, TALYS ASP400. The fiber optics-based analyzer is designed for real-time observation of petrochemical and refinery process streams.
Teeming with the introduction of novel products, the global market for process spectroscopy looks thriving. However, the high investment requirement for the development and maintenance of spectroscopes has compelled the market players to raise the product prices. Analysts expect this factor to hamper the growth of this market to a certain extent.

How Can Industrial Skylights Improve Building Health
By Torrin Greathouse | February 20, 2018
Certain elements of your building's interior, such as internal temperature, light quality, and air quality, can markedly affect the health and productivity of the building occupants. Incorporating industrial skylight into your facility greatly improves the building health in a few key ways.
Regulates Sleep Cycles
Exposure to natural light has a profound effect on the body. Its opposite, dim interior lighting and overexposure to the blue spectrum light generated by LEDs, can disrupt your circadian rhythm. This makes employees groggy and unproductive and is a major contributing factor in the development of insomnia. Industrial skylights replace this unhealthy light with broad spectrum sunlight, helping to stabilize employees circadian rhythms.
Creates Happier Employees
Industrial skylights create a healthier, happier work environment. Natural lighting in the workplace is shown to create "non-specific positive environmental feelings" in building occupants. This serves to decrease absenteeism by up to 45% and has been shown to create increases in productivity of between 6-16%.
Reduces Injuries
Due to poor lighting in industrial facilities, injuries are unfortunately common, especially among workers who operate heavy machinery. Broad spectrum sunlight has been shown to increase visibility to a much safer level than the light provided by HID, LED, and fluorescent lamps. A study by Prince Street Technologies found that when they replaced their artificial lighting with industrial skylights, their yearly worker's compensation cases decreased by a factor of more than 20.
Minimizes Sick Days
Skylights also provide a wide range of health benefits. Sunlight has been proven to aid in the prevention of conditions ranging from seasonal affective disorder to multiple sclerosis. The health benefits of natural light are so pronounced that incorporating it into the workplace can reduce employee sick days by up to 6.5%.
To learn more about the benefits of incorporating industrial skylights in your facility, download our eBook The Power of Daylighting in Building Design.

Strange, playful, and of this moment: The Skin Of Our Teeth from Bright Young Things. A review.
Posted on November 24, 2019 by Liz Nicholls

It's strange, it's playful. And it gets right to the heart of the dark, chaotic, freak-out of the present moment.
That's The Skin Of Our Teeth, the high-spirited, anarchic, category-resistant 1942 "comedy" (for want of a better word) by America's great theatre subversive Thornton Wilder.
To help support 12thnight.ca YEG theatre coverage, click here
In three acts, and through two intermissions, we follow the fortunes of the Antrobus family of Excelsior, New Jersey through one catastrophe after another — the Ice Age, devastating storms in Atlantic City, wars. Radical lurches in the climate, the migration of refugees, the extinction of animals … ring a bell?
The cast includes a fortune teller, Moses, Homer, a dinosaur, a woolly mammoth. Eons pass. Mr. and Mrs. Antrobus have been married for 5,000 years. Plato, incidentally, argues that leaders must have self-control and a balanced mind if the world is to work properly. If that doesn't speak to the craziness of the present moment, what does?
This bizarre epic, alternately anxious and whimsical, is brought to us by Bright Young Things (an indie that borrows the London tabloid nickname for the elite artsy bohemian crowd of the 1920s). Their mission? The airing of mid-century masterworks we don't very often get to see. The Skin of Our Teeth, unlike Wilder's classic Our Town, certainly qualifies. And Dave Horak's clever, brazenly theatrical production and its cast of top-drawer actors show us what we've been missing: a wild experiment which brushes off convention like so much lint off a coat of many colours. It's alternately anxious and whimsical, mythical and sometimes cheeky about being mythical.
Andrea House as Sabine, The Skin Of Our Teeth. Photo by Mat Busby.
It not only breaks the fourth wall (that theatrical convention that lets us be voyeurs on other lives) but it demonstrates that breakage. The walls (and the windows) won't stay put. And neither will the exasperated actor playing the maid Sabina (Andrea House), who can't stand the play ("I don't understand a single word of it anyway.") or the comedown of her role ("I took this hateful job because I had to …. Look at me now.").
The apocalypse is already in progress as the play opens. A beaming announcer (Sheldon Elter), armed with slides, an old-fashioned clicker and a projection screen, presents the dramatic lead news of the world story of the day: "the sun rose this morning at 6:32 a.m.," as reported by a public-spirited American citizen. Uh-oh.
It's August and New Jersey is getting colder. Dogs are sticking to the sidewalks, and they're burning pianos in New England. Chez Antrobus, a freezing dinosaur (Cody Porter) is clamouring at the door to get in, along with a woolly mammoth (Nicole St. Martin) and a cluster of refugees. The family is awaiting the arrival of the ebullient Mr. Antrobus (Jeff Haslam), who's just invented the wheel (he's already invented the lever), and he's closing in on the alphabet.
We meet the implacable Mrs. Antrobus (Stephanie Wolfe), inventor of the apron, and the two Antrobus children: Henry (Vincent Forcier), a kid with a murderous mean streak (his name used to be Cain), and Gladys (Lauren Hughes). Sabina, the eternally seductive "other woman" who's forever giving her notice, has let the fire go out.
Act II happens on the Atlantic City boardwalk. Mr. Antrobus, who's been elected president of The Ancient and Honourable Order Of Mammals, Subdivision Human, has awarded Miss Atlantic City 1942 to Sabina, now the hostess of the Bingo Hall. When a terrible storm comes up, he herds the animals in his audience, two by two, onto a ship.
In Act III of a play written in war-time, a seven-year war has ended. Mrs. Antrobus and Gladys (and a baby) emerge from the detritus of their suburban house. And Mr. Antrobus, back from the war, deflated and depressed, declares "I've lost it…. The desire to begin again."
Horak opts — this is indie theatre — for a stylized, improvised look that has its own low-budget theatre jokes and captures the oddball jauntiness of the play. He and Bright Young Things artistic director Belinda Cornish are credited with the design, lit by Daniela Masellis. And the handsome costumes, which identify the period in witty fashion, are courtesy of the Citadel.
As Mr. Antrobus, Haslam beautifully charts the evolution into despair and back again of the confident, hearty but naive head of household who doesn't quite realize that it's his wife who's holding the world together. The wife and mother, with her prim apron and fierce defence of the idea of family through every crisis, gets a formidable performance from Wolfe as Mrs. Antrobus. "I could live for 70 years in a cellar," she declares, "and make soup out of grass and bark without ever doubting that this world has work to do and will do it."
Her nemesis is Sabina, the eternal seductress and upstager, always undermining the family and lobbying on behalf of herself. It's the diva role Tallulah Bankhead played in the 1942 Broadway premiere. Whiney and sullen in Act I, and posturing extravagantly in red stilettos in Act II, House's amusing performance exudes the sense of a character with one eye ever on the audience, trying on possible versions of herself to see which one is more profitable.
Forcier is genuinely disturbing as the ever-violent uncontrollable son, who can never see a stone without wanting to hurl it at someone's head. And the sweetness of Hughes as Gladys can't conceal the Mrs. Antrobus-in-the-making of the character.
Is surviving the apocalypse an oxymoron? Sit back (not too far back if you want to catch the quick '40s cadence of the actors) and ponder the possibility of optimism in times like ours. Mr. Antrobus has his books. Sabina, a repository of worldly negativity ("it's better to be dead"), has the movies to go to. And we have the theatre — and a weird, sprawling play that says something about surviving catastrophe. Maybe it's by the skin of our teeth — but still….

Despite a few hassles along the way, we've arrived safely in Taipei Taiwan and are snug in our room at the Caesar Park Hotel across from the main train station.
Our United Express flight SEA-LAX was fine, although an argument between a gate agent and a passenger delayed the flight (he won - details later).
To get from our arrival terminal to the Thomas Bradley International Terminal at LAX required a choice between a bus ride and a walk that another customer estimated as 15 minutes. We took the bus.
We entered in the Arrivals level and it took us a couple of minutes to figure out that we had to go upstairs.
Since UA in Seattle could not print our boarding passes for EVA Air, despite its being issued to us by UA, we had to report to the EVA counter. That didn't take too long.
We stood in line for awhile at the TSA check point - no pre-clearance here. Once through, it was a walk to get to the host club, where all we had time to do was to fill up a couple of water bottles.
We arrived at our gate just a few minutes before boarding started and were right near the front of the line. EVA lines passengers up for boarding like school children, but it was far more orderly than a typical United boarding line so we're not complaining.
Once aboard, we were treated to 13 hours of probably the best service we've ever had on a plane. The cabin was too hot, and the business seats, despite being only four across the entire cabin, are a bit narrow to sleep on one's side, but other than that it was magnificent. Of course, this airline is staffed with what appeared to be twice as many flight attendants as a typical American carrier.
We were called by name throughout the flight, we sipped Dom Perignon 2003 champagne as an aperitif, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, despite Kathy's being hampered somewhat by a cold.
The flight itself was very bumpy at times ("moderate chop" at least) and at least twice the captain ordered the cabin crew to be seated.
Once on the ground, we got ourselves through Immigration and Customs without a hitch. The hitch came just after 11:00 p.m. when we tried to take the bus to the high-speed train to the city. It turns out it doesn't run this late; in fact, we might have just missed the last bus of the day.
Instead we took the bus to the city train station and it took "only" an hour, not quite as long we had anticipated. We asked the bus driver for directions to the hotel and he pointed us in one direction. The road we took wasn't getting us anywhere so we retreated and entered the station, finally getting help from a 7/11 manager. Oh, thank heaven for Seven-Eleven!
This time we found ourselves across a divided road from the hotel, but another helpful bystander pointed us to an elevator to the MRT (subway) and we descended, then crossed the street underneath, coming up two flights of stairs to the hotel.
And here we are. It's just before 10:00 a.m. Wednesday at home and here it's nearly 1:00 a.m. Thursday morning. Our 7:00 a..m. wakeup call will come early (we're to be in the lobby at 8:10 a.m. for our tour), but we'll hope to get some sleep.
Given the minor hassles of the day, it may be just as well to start off with our bus tour and let ourselves ride and be led around for a few days.

Autobiographical memory is an interesting memory domain, given its inextricable association with identity. One particularly fascinating aspect of it is its unevenness - why do we remember so little from the first years of life ('childhood amnesia'), why do we remember some periods of our life so much more vividly than others? There are obvious answers (well, nothing interesting happened in those other times), but the obvious is not always correct. Intriguing, then, to read about a new study that links those memorable periods to self-identity.

His Lost Love è un cortometraggio muto del 1909 scritto e diretto da David W. Griffith.

Trama
In Inghilterra, James lascia la casa di campagna per andare a vivere in città. Al villaggio resta invece suo fratello Luke, più posato e serio, che continua la sua vita tranquilla e onesta. Mary, la giovane vicina di casa che è stata fin dall'infanzia la fidanzatina di James, sembra accettare adesso le attenzioni di Luke ma, quando un giorno, dopo molto tempo, il suo vecchio amore ritorna in paese, in lei si risveglia il vecchio amore. Luke, per farla felice, rinuncia a lei e la lascia libera di sposare James. Per un periodo, il matrimonio è felice. Un giorno, però, giunge in visita la sorella di Mary che si innamora, ricambiata, di James. Mary, che è appena diventata mamma, si rende conto del sentimento reciproco dei due e, con il cuore spezzato, cade tra le braccia di Luke, morendo di crepacuore. Luke adesso si rende conto che la sua rinuncia, che doveva fare la felicità dell'amata, l'ha portata invece alla morte. Decide quindi di proteggere la bambina rimasta orfana e si offre di allevarla. James resta solo, continuando la sua vita in città.

Passano gli anni. Luke ha dovuto lottare e la vita non è sempre stata benigna con lui. James, al contrario, ha avuto fortuna con il lavoro e ora è un signore benestante che però soffre la solitudine e ha nostalgia della figlia. Si reca allora al villaggio per conoscere la ragazza, ormai adolescente. Luke, sempre generoso, gli offre la possibilità di riprendersi la figlia se questa lo accetterà come padre. Ma lei, che ama Luke di un affetto profondo, riconosce in lui il suo solo e vero padre.

If Tesla Was A Soufflé, It Would've Already Collapsed

Elon Musk fears Tesla stock could collapse like a "soufflé," but after years of intense short-selling pressure, TSLA's more like a diamond.

Elon Musk has warned Tesla employees about risks to their stock price.
Likening TSLA to a soufflé, Musk fears a "sledgehammer" should their future profits come into question.
Tesla stock fell 4% at the open of trade on Wednesday.
A leaked email from Elon Musk to his employees suggested the billionaire fears any damage to the company's future-profits would crush TSLA stock like "a soufflé under a sledgehammer." Here's why Tesla's more like a diamond than a dessert.
Musk Is No Stranger To Bearish Talk
Elon Musk is a different kind of CEO. With most of his net worth tied up in Tesla, he still said that TSLA stock was "too high" earlier in the year. Investors ignored him, and subsequently, the company's valuation has continued to soar. Now the world's most valuable car company, Musk is again warning about the potential for a major crash in share-value and pushing back against complacency.
Colorful imagery aside, all the evidence suggests that a sledgehammer has been falling on TSLA for some time, and there's barely been a crack.
Routinely the most shorted U.S. listed stock, the bears have been trying to squash Tesla relentlessly for months. To be fair to the wounded bears, this isn't terribly surprising. Elon Musk runs his company at full speed, and if you believe that his E.V. company is just that, a car company, then it's staggeringly overvalued.
Tesla Enjoys Three Significant Advantages In The Market
Fortunately for the bulls, the market trades TSLA like it's not just a jack of all trades, but a dominant force to boot, pioneering the future of self-driving, solar, and battery tech. The destruction of this image is what threatens Musk's $128 billion personal fortune the most.

Despite the perception that Tesla is vulnerable, it routinely demonstrates it is not. No matter how deep the dives, the buyers come back with aggression. There are a few reasons for this:
WallStreetsBets Is Getting To Billionaires Like Leon Cooperman
Wall Street Prefers Tesla to Nearly Every Major Car Brand, Combined
Firstly, as a brand, it enjoys an almost cult-like following. When the cult-leader can say that the company is overvalued on multiple occasions and does nothing to dent enthusiasm, it's a good sign your brand is rock solid.
Secondly, Tesla can hire the best people, mainly because of its brand appeal. This ensures that it can maintain a tech advantage. A few brilliant individuals will out-create a large group of average engineers every time.
Finally, there are just not many ways to play E.V.'s and solar tech in the stock market. Dip-buying or even front running TSLA rallies is about the only liquid way that a giant like Blackrock can find exposure to this market.
Sledgehammers Aren't Working
I would, therefore, counter Elon Musk's assertion that Tesla is a soufflé. It's more like a diamond that is being worked on every day. European car giants and short-sellers are wielding the hammers, but they haven't even scuffed the surface so far.
Where we do agree is that if/when it does break, it will shatter into tiny pieces. Some of those pieces might be profitable, but a $530 billion market cap will be a distant dream.
