"The research I carried out while a Keck Institute Postdoctoral Fellow was focussed on two areas. The first was related to the polarized cosmic microwave background (CMB) - a signal from the dawn of the universe which may contain the clearest view yet of how our universe was born. My research was focussed on two aspects of this: a project to map the polarized emission from our Galaxy, which obscures our view of the polarized CMB, called C-BASS; and a project to improve the technology which is being used to directly measure the polarized CMB.
The second theme to my research has been studying relativistic jets in blazars. The relativistic jets which are thought to power blazars are a fascinating astrophysical mystery: in spite of five decades of intensive study we still do not know how relativistic jets are accelerated and collimated, nor what their composition is. We have entered a new era in the study of blazar jets with the launch of the Fermi gamma-ray space telescope. It is now possible, for the first time, to monitor the gamma-ray flux of a large number of blazars; this has sparked the advent of very powerful multi-wavelength flux monitoring campaigns from radio through to gamma-ray wavelengths. I built a radio polarimeter called KuPol for the 40m telescope at OVRO to monitor the linear polarization of over 1000 blazars, and lead an effort called RoboPol to build and use a polarimeter for a similar survey at optical wavelengths.

The Papua Province Humanitarian Team for Cases of Violence Against Religious Figures in Intan Jaya Regency, Haris Azhar, has announced the results of their investigation into the shooting of Pastor Yeremia Zanambani who was allegedly shot by a rogue Indonesian military (TNI) officer in Hitadipa District, Intan Jaya, on September 19, reports CNN Indonesia.
Azhar said that the shooting of Pastor Zanambani began with an incident which occurred on September 17. At the time, an exchange of fire had occurred between TNI personnel and a group from the Free Papua Organisation (OPM) in the Sugapa Lama area.
During the incident, one TNI officer was killed and a TNI assault rifle was seized by the OPM.
Following the incident, the TNI summoned several members of the Hitadipa community one by one. During the meetings, the TNI said they wanted the firearms taken by the OPM to be returned.
"This message was accompanied with the threat that if they're not returned the Hitadipa district would be bombed. This continued through to the next day, September 18," Azhar said during a virtual press conference this week on Thursday.
Azhar said that the TNI again gathered community members together on the grounds in front of the sub-district military command (Koramil) on September 19. The Koramil commander gave the community two days to return the firearms.
Later on the same day, about 12 noon, the community was again gathered in front of the Immanuel 1 Church by a TNI officer called Alpius.
Military list of named 'enemies'
Alpius was said to have already recorded and compiled information on six members of the Hitadipa community who were deemed to be "enemies" and the TNI and the Indonesian police regarded it "appropriate to wage war" on them.
One of the six people named had been Pastor Yeremia Zanambani.
"As a consequence of this statement the housewives and men, including the pastors and shepherds broke down in tears before Alpius," Azhar said.

Azhar said that a member of Zanambani's family, Meriam Zoani, held a meeting with the group of TNI soldiers led by Alpius at the end of the Hitadipa landing field at around 2.55 pm. A large number of TNI soldiers had gathered there.
Zoani was shocked and frightened at seeing how large the group of TNI soldiers were and that they were led by Alpius.
Azhar explained that Alpius was a TNI soldier assigned to Hitadipa district who Zanambani had treated as his own son. Alpius often visited Zanambani's home to shower, eat with the family and to collect water for a garden Alpius tended.
"Alpius himself usually called Merriam 'Mama'. Mama and the pastor also knew that Alpius often visited and was well known by local residents," said Azhar.
Soldiers headed to pigpens
According to Azhar, furnished with information that Zanambani was at his pigpen, at 3.50 pm Alpius, along with three other TNI members, headed off to where Zanambani kept his pigs.
Two TNI members remained at a distance of about 25 metres from the Intan Jaya regency main road while two others, including Alpius, headed towards the pigpens.
"Straight away an order of 'hands up' [was heard] to which Zanambani with raised hands responded to by saying 'I am a servant of God'", said Azhar.
Azhar said that despite this the two TNI soldiers fired two shots in Zanambani's direction. One shot hit his left arm and the other hit the pigpen wall. Zanambani immediate fell to the ground.
As well as being shot, Zanambani was also allegedly stabbed in the back with a sharp weapon.
Concerned about Zanambani's whereabouts after he failed to return home, at around 6 pm, Zoani plucked up the courage to go to the pigpen to try to find him.
Upon arriving at the pigpen, Zoani was shocked to find Zanambani sprawled on the ground and covered in blood. Despite this Zanambani was still able to speak.
'What happened?'
"'I asked him why? What happened?'. The pastor answered 'it was the person we gave food to who shot and stabbed [me]'", said Azhar quoting from the conversation between Zoani and Zanambani.
Azhar said that Zanambani died shortly afterwards.
Azhar said Zanambani had suffered a serious gunshot wound to his left arm which resulted in heavy bleeding. In addition to this, Zanambani was also stabbed in the back of his neck by a military blade. The injury also resulted in significant bleeding.
Azhar said Zanambani was shot by a standard military weapon and it was suspected that he had been shot from a distance of approximately 1 metre. This was because the object that struck his body was a bullet which hit his upper arm.
"A 7-10 cm straight vertical slice was visible on the skin," Azhar said.
Azhar said that the gunshot was more than just a flesh wound, adding that Zanambani's armed was almost shot off. But, said Azhar, there were no witnesses or statements from those who initially picked up the victim or who had accompanied him following the attack.
"A bullet was found, a wound was also found on the upper rear part of the victim's body, suspected to be a result of a sharp weapon. Resulting in an injury which caused serious blood loss," said Azhar.
Military reluctance to respond
When confirmation was sought by CNN Indonesia from the military, TNI information centre head Major-General Achmad Riad was reluctant to respond to the investigation's findings. Riad asked that the issue be referred to the Ministry for Security, Politics and Legal Affairs (Kemenko Polhukam).
"Please confirm it with the Kemenko Polhukam in the name of the state which established the official TGPF", said Riad, referring to the government-sanctioned Intan Jaya Fact Finding Team (TGPF) formed by Security Chief Mahfud MD in early October to investigate Zanambani's death.
The head of the Intan Jaya TGPF field investigation team meanwhile, Benny Mamoto, stated that they have more complete findings on the incident. He was responding to the presence of the Intan Jaya independent humanitarian team led by Azhar.
"The TGPF's findings are more complete because the information was sourced from members of Indonesian police (including investigators) and TNI members, as well as the victim's family and religious figures, social figures," said Mamoto in a text message sent to CNN Indonesia on Thursday.
Although the TGPF already has findings from the field, Mamoto said that they were not at liberty to cite the names of the parties involved.
He explained that that the TGPF was only tasked with gathering information or data in the field. All of this data has been handed over to the commander of the TNI, the national police chief, the army's chief of staff, the head of the National Intelligence Agency (BIN) and the Minister for Home Affairs to be followed up on.
"It's not possible for the TGPF to cite names because it's not the TGPF's prerogative," said Mamoto.
No authority to name suspects
Mamoto said that the TGPF did not have the authority to determine the perpetrators or name suspects and is restricted to gathering data from the field.
"The ones who have the authority to determine the perpetrators or suspects are the investigators after they've collected two pieces of evidence [as required under Indonesia's Criminal Code]," said Mamoto who is also Executive Director of the National Police Commission.
"Up until the last point [in the investigation] we had yet to find an eyewitness to the shooting incident so it would be inelegant to mention the perpetrator's name," he added.
Earlier, the Intan Jaya TGPF formed by Mahfud MD finished its investigation into Pastor Yeremia Zanambani's killing. Mahfud said that there are suspicions of the involvement of the security forces in the killing.

QuickBooks Items – I love these things.
In my history as a bookkeeper I have not yet worked with an accountant that likes a dense Chart of Accounts. As the owner, you may want to know exactly what marketing campaign made money or widget sold well but your accountant most likely won't care about that level of detail.
But from an accounting perspective, do you need to know more than your income and expenses? Yes, there is a need for individual expenses and I am certainly not saying that all you need is a 2 line Chart of Accounts but does the person handling your data entry in Quickbooks need to remember the exact income or expense account number/name? The answer is no.
By using items linked to the individual income/cost of goods/expense accounts, you can collect as much detail as you desire without the need to over complicate your Chart of Accounts.
And it makes it a much easier way to handle all of those receipts. Whether we like it or not, the best way to defend an IRS audit is a receipt showing an accurate record of your purchase. Why not used pre-printed stickers with the QB item to apply to these receipts.
If you have field staff that make company purchases, they can turn in their receipts with correct item already noted. With pre-printed labels, no more handwriting questions.
Think of the time and cost you will save when your data entry person is able to quickly enter the data without the need to know a lot about your business and this means if that data entry person has been you, the owner, you can hand that responsibility over to your office support staff (you have an admin, right?) knowing that the details won't get lost and focus on growing your company.
And if your bookkeeper does all of your data entry, think about how much faster the entries can be made when you hand over tagged receipts.


This is an amazing time for research into the endocannabinoid system (ECS), it's role in human health and how certain herbs and plants contain compounds that either have a direct effect on receptors in the body or play a role as a precursor to endocannabinoids, or both.
It has been about 30 years since the discovery of the endocannabinoid system. We now know a lot more about what it does and how it works. Most of what we know came out of research on cannabis extracts including THC and CBD and are certainly the most well known. But now we also understand that there are many other related cannabinoids in cannabis besides THC and CBD. We also understand that there are many other plants that have compounds that have an identified effect on the ECS sometimes described as phytocannabinoids.
In this interview with Chip Paul, we will look closely at the role of the endocannabinoid system as well as emerging science that looks at how many common plants can affect the ECS. There has been a lot of research in this area that I didn't realize existed. Chip's interest is exploring how to put together plant extracts that can provide a predictable benefit to the ECS. We will also explore the role of the ECS in human health and it's role as a master regulator of other systems in the body.
In our evolutionary cycle, before we developed a brain, we developed an endocannabinoid system, we also developed a central nervous system in this same ancestor, the sea squirt.The endocannabinoid system is the only system that connects your brain to every single cell in your body. Further the endocannabinoid system connects and interfaces to every other major human system, even further, research indicates that in every major system, the endocannabinoid system is the controlling system. The endocannabinoid system is in every mammal, every avian, every reptile, every fish. Most insects lack an endocannabinoid system, however, insects that bite mammals have endocannabinoid receptors in their mouths, for instance a tick.
The Endocannabinoid System can affect every cell in the body and exerts it's effects through CB1 and CB2 neuroreceptors. We understand from cannabis research that the ECS can be influenced in very specific ways. We are now learning that many plants have compounds that affect the ECS. New research indicates that many very common herbs and plants contain flavonoids which affect the ECS. These flavonoids in plants and foods are resources for the ECS.
The ECS is responsible for feeding and craving behaviors. This is also the system that determines addictive behaviors.
The ECS is responsible for the immune response. This is how your body deals with injury and includes, the inflammation response, the pain response, stem cell cuing and deflammation response.
The ECS is heavily involved with body regulation. It controls the bodies cycles and clocks. So hormone regulation, female cycles, and the sleep cycle are all influenced by the ECS.
The hypothalamus is the "intellligence" in the system and acts very similar to the computer (with sensory array) in your vehicle. It can monitor down to the cellular level and affect any bodily system by virtue of the ECS. End excerpt.
First is the idea that the ECS has high level effects on other systems in the body such the central nervous system, pituitary system, hormones, organs and cells.
Second is the idea that the ECS is a resource driven system. It is affected by the availability of of nutrients and pre-cursors that are required by the body. These need to be replenished.
Third, the ECS is affected by different compounds in many different plants and these compounds are unique and have varying benefits. Products can be created by intelligently combining different plant extracts. Chip suggests that over 4000 plants have already been identified as having some effect on the ECS. Here are examples of a few: tumeric, black pepper, red clover, ginger, cocoa, onion, peppermint, sage, echinacea, kale and many others. These plants are distinct from cannabis.
Gnupharma has developed various products based on this research and you can research these on the company's website. They have also demonstrated that these products can be delivered to the body in a variety of forms including capsules, tinctures, aromatherapy and essential oils and herbal teas. These products are safe and can be used on a daily basis to support a healthy ECS. They are intended to provide the nutrient resources to replenish the ECS.
Chip is the co founder of Gnupharma. Chip is also one of the co-founders of Oklahomans For Health, the organization that twice petitioned the State of Oklahoma for medical cannabis. As a result of research he conducted for founding Oklahomans for Health and writing the law, Paul gained a profound understanding regarding the internal system that medical cannabis effects, the endocannabinoid system. GnuPharma is studying ways to effect the ECS using plant based flavonoids from very simple herbs. What this means is that, potentially, and in the very near future, many common health issues will be treated with targeted nutrition.

Accord & BWC Wellbeing Webinar
BWC: Supporting menopause at work
Line managers are invited to join Accord and the Bank Workers Charity for a wellbeing webinar to explore how people are affected by the menopause at work, the different approaches to offering support and how to create a menopause-friendly environment within the team. This webinar is aimed at line managers.
We're in the middle of a menopause revolution.
Affecting an estimated 13 million people in the UK, the menopause was for too long a taboo subject but in recent years it has been recognised as a key wellbeing issue. Now the topic of many high profile and national conversations, it is increasingly being seen as a workplace wellbeing priority, with many employers introducing support measures for affected employees.
Despite this progress, however, there remains a general lack of knowledge about the day-to-day impact of the menopause at work. All too often, line managers feel unequipped to support employees or feel uncomfortable engaging in conversations around the issue.
This webinar looks at how people are affected by the menopause at work, the different approaches to offering support and how to create a menopause-friendly environment within the team.
This session includes a live Q&A.
Webinar overview:
Who does it affect and how?
Impact of the menopause at work

75 Years After Hiroshima and Nagasaki (2020)
Telling the Stories of Radiation Exposure (2018)
Ways of Knowing and Radiation Exposure (2019)
The Hanford Nuclear Reservation Litigation, or the "Downwinders Case," is one of the most controversial legal struggles in the history of atomic energy. It raised scores of environmental, scientific, civil rights, health, and legal questions. It focused on the chemical separation plant at Hanford, near Richland, Washington, built during the Second World War to extract plutonium from spent uranium. The plant produced the fissionable material used in the atomic bomb that leveled Nagasaki, and for decades thereafter it produced bomb material for the U.S. nuclear arsenal. The facility is described by some as one of the earth's most contaminated sites because of groundwater seepage, river pollution, and atmospheric discharges. The legal case, begun in 1990, consolidated thousands of plaintiffs who alleged that Hanford's environmental contamination was responsible for health problems, specifically thyroid disease, over a wide area that included several U.S. states, including Oregon.
Although the exposures themselves date from the 1940s, the scientific efforts to imagine and calculate those exposures began decades later, and stretched from the late 1980s to the late 1990s. The Hanford Environmental Dose Reconstruction (HEDR) Project and its various publications were not only critical to the legal team, they also continue as the basis for most points of reference about thyroid exposure from Hanford. And yet the studies were controversial, with criticism coming from different scientists working under the auspices of the National Research Council, and from other stakeholders—residents, activists, and nearby Native American tribal councils. For scholars, it is crucial to understand how these historical doses were reconstructed.
Our work is oriented toward two distinct goals. The first focuses on developing an important research collection, the recently-acquired Berger/Haber Hanford Nuclear Reservation Downwinders Case Collection, working in collaboration with the Special Collections and Archives Research Center (SCARC) of Oregon State University. This will involve digitizing a portion of this collection and supplementing it with oral history interviews. The second goal is to produce the first detailed historical studies of the dose reconstruction project, linking it to issues in the history of science, environmental history, and the broad field of "science and technology studies" (STS). This will be based on research by the project team, as well as scholars here and at other universities and/or agencies who will be invited to spend time researching the collection and then to contribute to an edited collection of essays.
This project began in Fall 2017 and is slated to end by Fall 2020. It is funded by the National Science Foundation, Award #1734618.
If you are a scholar and would like to participate in this work, please contact us directly, or consider responding to one of our calls for papers.
If you have a connection to the historical events and can help us identify persons to interview (as part of the oral histories component of the project), please contact us any member of our team.

As the hurricane season approaches its end, federal agencies will begin to evaluate their response to the storms. One effective measure is assuring that the public has access to up-to-date information about weather emergencies. The Commerce Department's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration provides continuous emergency updates via its Weather and All-Hazards Radio Network. NOAA has enlisted the help of comic-strip character Mark Trail to assure that as many people as possible have access to the special radios needed to receive the network. 'NOAA weather radios should be as common in homes and public places as smoke detectors,' Trail says online above a drawing of him holding a radio. Nature conservationist Trail, title character of the syndicated comic strip, is the official NOAA Weather Radio spokesman.

I don't make cheesecake very often, once a year if that, but I can't think why I don't make more of them. Except that of course they are not on our diet sheet. I dread to think how many zillions of calories there are in a single slice.
I recently went on a blueberry picking trip with some friends and came back with 4½ kilos of the most gorgeous, plump and tasty blueberries, most of which are now in the freezer. With other friends coming round for a bbq I knew exactly what I should do with the ones I kept back. Cheesecake.
It was hardly any effort to make and delicious. I used a recipe from the Delicious Magazine website that you can see here, except that as usual I adapted it to what I had in stock. Here in France you can get digestive biscuits, called Sablés Anglais, but I have never seen gingernuts in the shops, and I didn't have a vanilla pod but used vanilla paste which I brought back from the UK.
I even made a blueberry compote to serve with it. You can see the recipe for that here. As I was making it, it didn't seem to be thickening much and I wondered when to stop cooking so that I ended up with coulis not jam. Jam it was. But with a bit of a stir It still worked when dolloped onto a slice of the cake.
Definitely a recipe I will do again and easily adaptable for other fruits I think.
Preheat oven to 280°C / 160° fan / gas mk 4. Grease a 24cm, deep springform tin.
Mix the biscuit crumbs with the melted butter and spoon into the tin. Pat down evenly and firmly and chill for 10 mins or while you prepare the filling.
Put the vanilla seeds (or vanilla bean paste) into a large bowl with the mascarpone, cream cheese, sugar, cornflour, eggs and orange zest. Beat with an electric whisk until well blended.
Put a handful of blueberries aside and stir the rest into the mixture. Pour into the tin. Place the tin on a baking sheet then scatter the remaining berries on top of the mixture, pushing them in slightly.
Bake for 45-60 mins until golden brown and almost set. (Mine was done after 45.) Open the oven door and leave the cheesecake inside to cool.
Chill in the fridge for several hours or overnight, run a knife around the tin to release and dust with icing sugar before serving.
Put 250g blueberries into a pan with 100g caster sugar and cook until thickened. Serve cool, spooned over each slice of cake.
Cuts into at least 12 servings.
Lovely. A cheesecake is always welcome and blueberries make it nicer still. I do feel fat (well, fatter) after eating cheesecake, though.
Absolutely wonderful Jean and I may make this with blackcurrants from the garden, as we have loads this year!
What a beautiful cheesecake. I loved the vibrant colour of baked blueberries.
I love blueberries and cheesecake, so this is perfect.

Feeling frustrated with lack of the opportunities when it comes to your current job? If so, it might be a time to review your benefits package.
Benefits packages are becoming increasingly important to candidates in the market. According to survey from Afiac, 60% of employees perceive having a benefits package as extremely important to their loyalty. Moreover, 79% of them admitted that they would rather have new or additional benefits instead of a pay increase.
Those perks include bonuses, childcare, profit sharing, medical and life insurance, paid vacations, free meals, use of a company car, pensions, retirement and pension plan, stock options and wellness plans.
But why are these properly structured benefits packages so important to the modern employee?
According to study by Patriot Software, 58% of personnel lost sleep due to worrying about adequate childcare. Just look around the office and you'll surely recognise those sleepy, tired parents. Wouldn't it be nice for them to receive some sort of family-friendly support such as discounted childcare, vouchers or even discounts on child-related products to keep them motivated and productive?
In contrast, a report from JobVite has revealed that only 71.6% of companies offer benefits that go beyond the standard health and financial benefit products.
From the employer's standpoint, offering benefits beyond what is standard can be indeed a costly proposition, but rewarding in the long run as they can significantly improve your staff performance. It can also help to attract top talent – especially if we talk about millennials who are more interested in how the culture of a business speaks to them.
If you feel like you aren't satisfied enough with your prospective benefits package, ask your manager for a review meeting when you can both sit down and assess what would help you to go an extra mile at work. Prior to the meeting, do your homework and create a list of your tasks – but remember to be very reasonable and be sure to highlight the benefits to the company instead of what you gain from the deal.

Bali is the quintessential island paradise. In fact there can be few islands more routinely referred to in such terms and it won't take visitors long to work out why – beautiful beaches, all the surfing and diving opportunities you could possibly hope for, friendly locals and a relatively unspoiled Balinese culture that adds to the picturesque and at times almost spiritual atmosphere of this stunning island.
Famous, of course, as the island that inspired Darwin's theory of evolution, the Galapagos Archipelago maintains an almost magical aura of primordial intrigue, this may not be an island paradise in the conventional, cliched sense but a visit to the Galapagos Islands will almost certainly stay with you.
The natural wonder and utterly unique personality of these hugely significant islands off the coast of Ecuador extends a strange sort of magnetism and a visit to what remains a treasured and thoroughly protected natural environment guarantees a truly memorable experience.
You may already know Necker as Richard Branson's famously exclusive island retreat in the British Virgin Islands and there's no doubt that if you've got a few quid to spare (apparently about $46,000/day to rent the island) and a craving for idyllic beaches and palatial accommodation Necker ticks all the boxes. Inevitably Necker is likely to remain the exclusive preserve of the rich and famous but we can all dream.
Another rather exclusive haven for wealthy holidaymakers this group of islands in the Caribbean is a tropical paradise complete with perfect clear blue waters, expanses of dazzling white sandy beach and a comprehensive array of activities to keep you entertained. The islands may have been developed to cater for the luxurious demands of discerning holidaymakers but largely remain relatively unscathed by tourism; the natural splendor of lush mountainous landscapes and tranquil beaches make these islands, known with some justification as the "Land of the Blessed", a perfect tropical getaway.


The Square is able to cater for outdoor events, expos and exciting live sports such as Boktown screenings. Kids can enjoy weekend fun with games, jumping castles and other exciting activities. The interactive fountain is perfect for summer fun. Enjoy all of this with a perfect view of the Magliesberg Mountains.

Q: Typescript creating Object Type from Readonly Array I have an array like so:
const arr = [{id: 2, name: "hotdog"}, {id: 3, name: "chicken"}] as const

And I want to generate a type from it, that looks like this:
type ArrTransform = { readonly hotdog: 2, readonly chicken: 3 }

I've tried to do something like this (and many other attempts, but this was the closest I could get):
type ArrToObject<T extends ReadonlyArray<{name: string, id: number}>> = {
  [key in T[number]["name"]]: T[number]["id"]
}

But it doesn't map names with the exact id, it generates a union from all the ids (2 | 3) - which is not what I want.
Is it even possible to create a generic like this in Typescript?

A: Access each whole individual object with only [number], then separately extract the name property (assert that it'll be the key with as) and the id after the colon.
type Obj = {
    [T in typeof arr[number] as T["name"]]: T["id"]
}

Organized Storage Increases the Value of Your Home.
Everyone has a preconceived notion of who the customers for their business will be. I did not think there would be much repeat business from our customers once they had completed the storage solutions for their homes. I could not have been more wrong. It's a new day and time, and folks no longer stay in the same place.
Over the years, we have had customers move two, three, even four times, and they have called us with each move to outfit their new, (or new to them), homes. Certainly I would like to think that it's the quality of our product and our service that brings them back; and of course, that's partially true. It seems interesting to me, however, that when moving from home to home, our customers feel it important to replicate or improve their custom storage experience. Being the curious person I am, I started researching home sale and home buyer trends, and guess what I discovered? Organized storage is always among the top ten things people desire when looking for a new home.
In the article, "The 50 Features Homebuyers Want Most," published in July 2017 by Probuilder.com, Katy Tomasulo posed the question to architects, builders, and other industry experts, "What do new home seekers want?" Of course, the current trends of open floor plans, downstairs masters, and tricked- out kitchens are among the responses. However, also included is organized storage as a primary feature that home-buyers desire.
Kiplinger published a slideshow article based on the National Association of Home Builders 2016 report, "Housing Preferences Among Generations." The slideshow identifies the features most requested by home buyers across generations. A dedicated laundry room, and garage storage space are among the seven features that Kiplinger describes. When considering a renovation to enhance the sale-ability of your home, organized storage solutions are among those that bring the highest return on investment.
Jay McKenzie of newhomesource.com describes the features 2017 homebuyers most requested. Linen closets, smart storage, and garages with organized work and storage spaces are all in her top ten list!
According to Remodeling Magazine's 2016 Cost Versus Value Report, there is an increase in return at resale on their tracked home improvement projects. An organized storage renovation would increase the value of your home and make it more likely to sell to today's buyer. Contact Dream Closets today for your custom design and installation, whether it be for your kitchen, pantry, bathroom, laundry room, walk-in wardrobe, home office, media room, or garage. Until next time, live your best life!


These Russian surplus forked rear trunnions are perfect for Bulgarian or Russian AK74 builds! These are take offs in very good condition so they still have rivet parts attached and will need to be drilled or knocked out. These accept all standard AKM fixed stock buttstocks and can be used on a regular AKM-47 as long as the trunnion holes are not pre-drilled in the receiver since these holes line up different to the standard Polish/Romanian AKM rear trunnion.

Though a little short on historical accuracy, this 1965 all-star Hollywood take on the is still very entertaining and is well remembered by everyone who watches it.
Repin Like
From Amazon.com
Nazi Panzer forces stage a last-ditch Belgian front offensive that could turn the tide of WWII.
This 1965 film stars Henry Fonda, Robert Shaw and Robert Ryan in a spectacular recreation of a crucial campaign. The German offensive in December 1944 became the basis for this all-star Hollywood take on the Battle of the Bulge.
Henry Fonda is an officer who predicts the assault, Robert Ryan and Dana Andrews are Army brass skeptical of his intuitions, and Robert Shaw (his hair dyed yellow and his eyes glinting with malice) is a German officer leading the tank attack. Shaw is certainly the most compelling thing about the film, especially in his philosophical debates with ambivalent underling Hans Christian Blech. Elsewhere, the movie jumps around to sidebar stories (cowardly James MacArthur becomes a leader, wheeler-dealer Telly Savalas falls in love) while messing around with the historical facts of the battle.
There are interesting episodes, such as the Malmedy massacre of American POWs and the Germans' use of English-speaking spies, but overall Battle of the Bulge has the feeling of having been patched together from different scripts. On the physical level, the movie comes up short, with the Spanish locations rarely suggesting the wintry misery of the battle, and the use of models and studio sets highly inadequate. A number of war films from this era are compelling on their own terms, but in the wake of Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers, this one looks antique. -- Robert Horton

While the very earliest civilizations in Iraq grew up around the gifts of the Tigris and Euphrates, millions of Iraqis from the North to the newly revived southern Marshes are at risk from the actions of Iraq's northern and astern neighbors. Turkey and Iran's increased limiting of water of the Tigris and its tributaries flowing into Iraq has finally caused the country to reach its boiling point.
Last month, Turkey and Iran cut off water flowing into Iraq via the Tigris under the pretext of filling up their own dams. According to domestic media, this water reduction in Iraqi Kurdistan led to the death of fish in the downstream areas of the river, causing a serious environmental disaster. Meanwhile, local media posted dramatic videos of people crossing the Tigris by foot, emphasizing the drastic water loss in the river.
This footage prompted immediate reactions, fears, and concerns among both Iraqi officials and citizens, especially given that in the past two decades, the volume of water flowing through the Tigris and the Euphrates had already dropped by sixty percent.
Saadullah Masoudian, the Iranian Consul General to Sulaimani, has also accused Baghdad of negligence in addressing the issue of shared water sources. "Since 2017 several times we asked the Iraqi government to establish a commission for signing a contract with Iran regarding how to use Sirwan and Little Zab rivers. We also ask the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) to ask the Iraqi government to establish a commission to talk and decide on how to use the two cross-border rivers of Sirwan and Little Zab," claimed Masoudian.
Given that the Tigris flows from Turkey and goes through the heart of Iraq, all the intensive diplomatic efforts by Baghdad have so far focused on Ankara. A temporary halt was put on the crisis when Turkey agreed to be patient in filling up its dam. Turkish Ambassador to Iraq Fatih Yildiz said in a June 5 press conference in Baghdad that his country would release "sufficient quantities of water" for the time being.
In the following days, further negotiations, coupled with public anger of Iraqis on social media, including #BoycottTurkishProducts, may have further convinced Turkey to give a temporary reprieve to Bagdhad. On June 7, Yildiz announced via his Twitter account that Turkey had suspended filling up Ilisu reservoir. "As of this moment, Tigris waters are being transferred to Iraq without touching a drop of it in Ilisu," Yildiz said. "With the second decision to postpone, we have shown once again that we can put our neighbor's needs ahead of our own." Later Iraq Water Resources Minister Hassan al-Janabi reaffirmed that a deal had been reached with Turkey to protect Iraq's interests.
Despite a subsequent June deal with Turkey to delay the filling of its Ilisu reservoir, the consequences of Turkish intentions to move forward with the Ilisu dam could be catastrophic for Iraq in the long run. Upstream, Turkey's Ilisu dam submerges one of the world's oldest civilization: 12,000-year-old Hasankeyf in the Kurdish part of Turkey; downstream, it could lead to the elimination of Mesopotamian civilizations—including the newly reconstructed "Garden of Eden" in Iraq—forceful migrations, extinction of animals and quicker desertification, thereby rocking the social fabric of Iraqi society and fueling something that Iraq has no shortage of—internal conflicts.
Water scarcity has exacerbated one of Iraq's most intractable issues: its lack of central authority and rule of law due to a recent increase in the tribalization of Iraqi society. Coherence and cohesion of tribes and clan lines have been consolidated in post-2003 Iraq as a way of self-defense and protection, and clashes over water have pushed latent conflicts between tribes into the open even before the June water crisis. The recent protests in Basra, while also reflecting the city's lack of access to electricity, demonstrate the social erosion that an absence of vital resources such as water invites.
To tackle water shortages, the Iraqi government has taken some unpopular domestic measures with direct financial effects on the livelihood of the Iraqi farmers, limiting the planting of rice and other crops in order to save water. Farmers responded by protesting the government's removal of their only source of revenues, raising the question of whether the state can only make domestic changes to water use, or whether it can convince its neighbors to allow more water into Iraq on a permanent basis.
The reality is that the Iraqi government is in a weak bargaining position vis-à-vis regional powers Iran and Turkey. The country has leapt from crisis to crisis, struggling with ineffective governments and social breakdowns along ethno-sectarian fault lines. These internal issues have allowed Ankara and Tehran to prioritize their own water interests without any effective opposition from Baghdad. Moreover, Iraq's weak military and diplomatic status gives little incentive for either state to negotiate with Baghdad.
However, Iraq's more distant history demonstrates that it can successfully maneuver against regional dam projects. Earlier regimes relied on the state's wealth of oil resources as a bargaining chip to force Turkey to adjust its water policies. In response to Turkey's two World Bank-sponsored dam plans on the Euphrates in the 1970s, Iraq halted oil exports to its northern neighbor and insisted that Ankara pay its current oil debts of $330 million in November 1977. Oil exports resumed only after Ankara reassured Baghdad of adequate water release. Then Turkey received two-thirds of its oil from Iraq. But the situation is quite different now.
Although Iraq remains Turkey's top oil exporter, most of it comes from the Iraqi Kurdistan Region, which has forged strong economic, trade, and energy ties with Ankara worth billions of dollars. If Iraq were to ever consider using oil as a tool of diplomacy, it must first go through Erbil—a currently unlikely scenario given the mistrust between the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and Baghdad, especially after the use of military forces against Kurdish forces in Kirkuk in October of last year. Moreover, outstanding oil, budget, and territorial issues between the Kurdistan Region and Iraq stand in the face of the type of close cooperation needed to pressure Turkey. This is to say nothing of Iran.
This time around, Iraq must use strategy to make up for its more limited bargaining ability, applying a multi-pronged plan on the national, regional and international level. On the national side, the government must reach permanent terms with the KRG on oil, gas, budget, and territorial issues that have prevented Iraq from being able to implement this key diplomatic tool, in particular with Turkey. On the regional level, Baghdad needs a proactive, enhanced diplomacy that extends past and beyond the state's electoral issues by forming multilateral committees expressly designed to manage water resources and promote bilateral cooperation with neighboring countries. Finally, on the international level, Iraq should provide more focused requests to international and regional institutions to put pressure on Tehran and Ankara to secure the country's fair share of water.
If the Iraqi government can put aside its differences and present a united and sustained front on this issue, perhaps Turkey and Iran will recognize that Iraq's social and political stability is in both countries' interests. As the case of the Islamic State has shown, when Iraq faces instability, it will not be contained within its borders and will spill into the region at large.

Finding a good septic tank pumping contractor in Wasilla requires you to investigate if they're the best firm for the job. Actually, it all begins with little research.
* First make a short list of four or five potential contractors.
* Now head over to BBB website and see if any person has cited them for shoddy work.
* Enquire from the one's you've picked if they are bonded, have comprehensive insurance and have all necessary licenses.
* At this point, you can also request a list of referrals and how long ago the pumping/maintenance work was done.
* Find out if they offer warranty for their work and what it actually covers.

Living room is a place where your guest will visit first. In fact, guests and friends like to chat by sitting in the living room. So, your living room should be a decorative one. On the contrary, if the living room looks dirty and undecorated, then it will leave a negative impression. However if your living room is not big, even then you can decorate it by following tips. A living room should be coloured in bright colour and decorated with various types of show pieces. Furniture is one of the important factors which you should not forget about. And entertainment units will add style and function to the room. So here are some tips to decorate living room.
You can decorate with mirror: It's all about making the room larger than its real size. If you have a small living room then you need not to feel low because you can double the size of the room. Interior decorators prefer to place mirrors on that areas of a room which can reflect the whole space. After putting the mirror in its suitable place when you see the room, it will look bigger than its real size. Besides, by installing a beautiful mirror you can give the living room a nice look. You can place modern dining tables in the room if your home is small and don't have space for a dining room.
By using bright colours:There are several ways to decorate a living room and use bright colour dining tables http://padfurniture.com.au/category/dining/dining-tables/ is one of the most appropriate suggestions among them. Try to use red, sky blue, yellow and white in the living room. After using these colours the room will look bigger and brighter than before. Besides, these colours leave healthy impacts on people and they also help to stay active every time. Apart from using them you may also use neutral colours on walls, floors and ceiling and furniture upholstery. Off-white colour will be just perfect among this neutral colour. Besides, soft hues also help to reflect light and make the room brighter than before.
Try to attract people by making attractive roof: People not only see the vertical dimension of a room, besides they also take a look on horizontal dimension. If the ceiling of your house is very high, then you can easily draw attention of people by designing. Floor-to-ceiling drape is an amazing way to attract people. Another way to make the room vertically attractive is decorating with beautiful art pieces. By hanging some portraits and paintings you can expand the real length of the room.

Last month, Maryland opened enrollment for the Maryland Climate Leadership Academy, the nation's first state-led Academy. This is a huge step toward ensuring that Maryland has a climate smart workforce and communities that are prepared to successfully tackle climate change challenges and opportunities. The Academy is being administered by the state through a contract with the Association of Climate Change Officers (ACCO) and is being advised by a council of state and local officials and national experts (including David Rouse, Managing Director of Research and Advisory Services for the American Planning Association).
The first programs offered will be series of classes providing a crash course featuring modules on climate science and vulnerability assessment, the energy-water-food nexus, greenhouse gas management, organizational change, law and policy, risk management, economic impact assessment, leadership and entrepreneurship. This 3-part series prepares participants for the Certified Climate Change Professional® (CC-P®) credential -- and we are working on getting these courses to satisfy AICP continuing education requirements as well.
The application deadline for enrollment in these programs is October 15 – oh, and the courses are free!
You can learn more about these programs, as well as others that will be announced for 2019, at http://www.MDClimateAcademy.org.
Let's get to work on planning and preparing Maryland communities to adapt to the impacts of climate change while ensuring Marylanders' health, security and vitality!

Poem of the Week | October 19, 2015
Noah Warren: "Milkweed"
This week we're delighted to feature a poem from our new fall Out of This World issue, 38.3. Noah Warren was born in Nova Scotia. His book The Destroyer in the Glass was chosen by Carl Phillips for the 2015 Yale Series of Younger Poets and is forthcoming in April 2016. His work has appeared in The Yale Review, Poetry, The Southern Review, Poetry Daily, and AGNI. He lives in Palo Alto, where he is a Wallace Stegner Fellow at Stanford University.
"Milkweed" is, I think, a poem about materials and materiality–that is to say, what we're made out of, and what whatever we make is made out of. I had been thinking a lot about the pathetic fallacy when I wrote it, and about how imposing a certain humanity on insentient nature can, paradoxically, help one to really feel the kind of cruelty, and damage, that drifts around us daily. At the heart of the poem is a version–cryptic–of the mock execution Dostoyevsky was put through in 1849, when a note arrived commuting his death sentence as he was hooded before the firing squad. Though the monarch in that case–Nicholas–was the agent of a great cruelty, the monarchs of our world are, of course, tiny errant things in the process of vanishing.
The summer morning,
the exploding front, the rain
a wall falling—
glass, the skylight aches;
bitter thunder grinds;
and the thin leaves,
the tender skin
of the clearing,
shake in seizure—
One stalk of milkweed
jerks left and right, is twisted
down, blown
upright, bitten, blind thing, on and on,
by the swarm of bullets:
then in the lull
he sways.
In his pods,
molecule by molecule, smoke-
colored silk
thickens,
the only food
of the monarchs,
wandering rags.

A massage can help in many aspects of your life. Enjoying a good rubbing can provide numerous benefits. Sometimes, everyone deserves getting a great massage in order to decrease their stress. The following article will give you some great advice to help you get the most out of your massage.
Drink a tall glass of water post-massage. Your tissues are full of toxins and they get released during a massage. Drinking a glass of water helps flush those toxins out and reduces the negative side effects. During the first hour after a massage, you should aim to drink at least two glasses of water. After this, you should aim to drink at least six more glasses in the remaining 23 hours in order to obtain your daily recommendation of a minimum of eight glasses per day.
TIP! Following a massage, drink plenty of water. When your tissues are stimulated during a massage, toxins are released into your body.
Every massage patient is unique. Figure out what the person needs and try to give them that. If there isn't a good response when you're massaging someone, make sure that you move from that area. Always look for telltale sign of whether they are enjoying the massage or not.
Two massages per week will do you well. Many people find that getting regular massages helps to improve their mood and overall health. This is probably because a relaxing massage is great for relieving stress. Try for twice a week.
TIP! It is important that you arrive on time, or better yet, early for your massage. If you have to rush to get to your massage appointment, you are going to feel hurried.
It is important that the area in which you are giving a massage is not noisy. It's going to be hard to relax if there is a lot of commotion going on. A massage is something that can be very relaxing. Choose a place or time that is more quiet. You won't regret the extra effort.
Watch your partner when giving a massage. Their face may express some of their feelings, as will the muscles themselves. This reading ability will provide a great deal of benefits for you as a masseuse. For example, if their face goes into a grimace, they likely are not happy.
TIP! Play with different oils. That is essential, since different people react differently to different oils; you must find the proper one.
Leave all of your worries at the door before a massage session. Massage therapists are used to seeing bodies of all shapes and sizes. Massage therapists know very well how to drape sheets so that that don't see what you don't want them to see, and they will make sure you remain covered. Take it easy, and enjoy your massage without thinking about your body.
It is important to learn how to relax while receiving a massage. Just let stress go and breathe deeply. Your muscles will stay looser and more relaxed if you keep breathing deeply on occasion throughout the entire massage.
TIP! Use healing oils, such as olive and almond, when performing a massage. Oil is great for skin, and lasts longer than lotion does.
You can give yourself a foot massage if you don't get one when you receive a massage. You don't want germs that you've picked up on your feet to be spread to the rest of your body by the therapist. If a foot bath is not offered, make a quick trip to the bathroom ahead of time and use the sink to wash your feet.
To remove knots from your body, do an easy self-massage. You can begin this process by thumping the outside parts of the body. Massage the feet and legs and the hands and arms. Work toward the center of your torso. Doing this after you awake can invigorate the body for the rest of the day. This type of massage before bedtime will help you sleep better at night.
TIP! Get rid of some kinks by doing an easy self-massage. Start by gently thumbing the outside areas of your body.
Massages are truly incredible. Nowadays, getting a massage is not something to be ashamed of, even for men. There are a lot of health benefits from a massage, so everybody should have one at regular intervals. Thanks to the information in this article, now you know more about the process of a massage. Now go out and have yourself a massage.

Yes, it suggests that I did something wrong… Getting 0.0 should be pretty rare (even rarer than getting 1.0).
What was the reason for changing that range? (if it is a good change, I would probably only include it in the swirl game mode to not mess with the balance of the other game modes).
I don't even know why I changed it. Probably selected a wrong number when lowering the dretch damage. Dretch definitely needs to be adapted to grazing hits the most because of its automatic bite which you can't control. For now I simply increased its rate of fire and lowered the damage.
try setting the float precision of your prints to 0.00 or maybe even 0.000, perhaps the problem is rounding of the displayed results.
Nevermind, it's probably because of the attack width (where you can miss the bbox completely and still hit). Minimum grazing hit damage could use some increase if this becomes a problem.
// than the max upward jet velocity.
Fix the jet from jerking.
Turns out the current implementation of PM_ComputeWallSpeedFactor() doesn't mix well with the jet.
There has been an issue with the wall coasting that has had a negative impact on the aliens specifically from what i observed. Other players and buildables were treated like walls, and they would be "slippery" when attacking them using melee. So what I did in an update last night is to have wall coasting ignore other players and buildables. (something to consider for another update is have a MIN_WALK_NORMAL customized per class, as I have noticed that the mara has had difficulties passing by various doors/entrances by sliding).
In that same update I made it so that the jump acceleration only applies to jumping forward, which should help address the back peddling issue a bit, and addresses the super slow luci shot.
- Don't apply wall coast to other players nor buildables.
- Only accelerate jumping when jumping forward.
