Chris Metcalfe is a name that has been on everybody's lips. Since bursting onto the scene at a young age he quickly became one of the most exciting and talked about names in the scene today. He was signed by none other than the world's no.1 DJ Armin van Buuren to his Armada record label and was later tipped on BBC Radio 1 to be the next big thing. Over the last few years Chris has been causing some serious waves with his productions. His debut track 'First Encounter' that came out on Armada Music made him a global name. It got hammered by every major trance DJ you can think of, then reached number one on the download sites as well as featuring on many albums worldwide. This was the start of what was only going to be an exciting career for Chris Metcalfe.
Chris's music can often be heard on leading dance shows likes BBC Radio 1 as well as often featuring on Armin Van Buuren's A State Of Trance and Paul Van Dyk's VONYC sessions to name a few. John O'Callaghan has been a massive fan of Chris's work from the very start, releasing tracks on his Subculture record label such as Cala Bassa, Prospector, Curveball, Tahiti, High Altitude and Monsoon. He continues to support Chris regularly inviting him to play at his legendary Subculture events around the UK as well as touring overseas.
Chris has managed to put his name up there with the best up and coming DJs in the scene. He's secured regular bookings at some of the most respected clubs nights in the world including nights like Godskitchen, Gatecrasher, Goodgreef, Inside Out, Digital Society, Subculture and The Warehouse Project as well as playing worldwide tours in places like Australia, Ibiza, Asia, Argentina, Africa, The Middle East and throughout Europe.
It's the first time we have had the chance to fire a few questions over to Chris who has had a very successful 2014 so far. There is more still in the pipeline with new releases and collaborations on the way. He is due to support the Subculture team as they take over the Digital Society for the night on the 7th November at the O2 Academy in Leeds. We went to ask him about the forthcoming night and on his new tunes currently in the pipeline.
i:Vibes: Thanks for taking the time out for i:Vibes Chris! It's been a fantastic 2014 for you with some superb trance music out there. As we are about to come out of summer, what has been your most memorable moment of this year so far?
Chris: My pleasure, thanks for taking your time out to interview me… 2014 has been a great year so far, I wouldn't particularly say I have just one memorable moment, the stand out ones though are mostly from playing in new countries for the first time, made my Debut in Dubai, South Africa and Holland and also played at my first festivals at the massive Summerburst in Gothenburg and Stockholm.
i:Vibes: It's been 5 years since your debut single 'First Encounter' was released on Captivating sounds. How did the breakthrough into a full single release come about for you and what inspired you to take trance production on yourself?
Chris: Cant believe its that long, 5 years has flown by… Armin van Buuren personally signed First Encounter, its a moment i won't forget in a hurry, the scene has changed so much over the years, when I first started out you didn't need tracks behind you to be as successful, the longer time went on though times changed and I realized if I didn't make music I wouldn't get anywhere.
i:Vibes: It wasn't long until you managed to get signed to John O'Callaghan's Subculture label in 2010. How did you get to know John and how highly do you rate the Subculture brand?
Chris: I have known John for around 10 years or so, I first met him when he was breaking through into the scene and we have been friends ever since, its great to see how far he's come, also great to see he's stayed true to his sound, not many artists these days have done that. Subculture has turned into a massive worldwide brand and the tracks that come out on the label are always next level, its great to be apart of it!!
i:Vibes: On the subject of Subculture you must be looking forward to the November take over off the Digital Society in Leeds at the o2 arena. Just how do you rate event brands like the Digital Society and the events they put on?
Chris: I rate Digital Society massively, I have been going to their events since the very start, its great to have watched them grow over the years, they have created a really big well respected brand, they have a good team of people involved that all work hard and they deserve everything they get, in the 7 years they have been going I have not seen one bad lineup, they're always top notch!!
i:Vibes: What can we expect to hear during a full on Chris Metcalfe set at the Subculture night?
Chris: Myself and James Rigby will actually be playing back to back at this night, no plans on what we will be playing yet.
i:Vibes: What is it like being part of the Subculture team and what new tunes has the label got in store for us over the next few months?
i:Vibes: Do you get the chance to mingle around with the clubbers and enjoy the other sets at nights like these or is it strictly business?
Chris: Every night I play at I always go and mingle about, I will be definitely sticking about for the full duration, the lineup is huge, I will be one of the last people to leave the venue, I want to be there for every set!
Chris: I think me and James are on early so if that's the case none of my own productions will be getting played, warm up stuff only.
i:Vibes: I would ask you what some of your favourite classic trance tunes are but I could take a solid guess that Blank & Jones 'Cream' and Nu-NRG 'Dreamland' were two. You have bootlegged both these with Dreamland really gathering a very popular fan base. What gave you the urge to put the Metcalfe spin on these two classic gems?
i:Vibes: Have you had any feedback from the original artists about your bootlegs?
Chris: I did with Dreamland, Giuseppe Ottaviani loved it and supported on his Radio show. I also did a rework of The Thrillseekers - Synaesthesia at the start of the year, that was also really big for me, Armada have actually snapped that up and want to use on one of their new compilations.
i:Vibes: What classic tunes do you have in mind for an update in the future?
i:Vibes: We have loved the previews of your new collaboration recently signed to Subculture with the Noble Six called 'Oceon Avenue'. That melody is really something is something else, the question is just who came up with it?
Chris: Thank you, glad you like, the buzz on this track has been great up to now. I sent Noble Six a melody and he put his touch on it, watch out for this guy by the way, every track and remix he does is quality, definitely one to watch in 2015 along with Adam Ellis.
i:Vibes: What are your current favourite trance tunes are the moment?
i:Vibes: Finally, what new singles, remixes and collaborations have you in the pipeline for the rest of 2014?
Chris: I have 2 collabs coming out, one with The Noble Six and the other with Lostly. Remix wise i have done an exclusive remix for Giuseppe Ottaviani's new GOOnAir Compilation, I haven't got a release date for that yet, should be within the next few months, another remix which I have just started, can't say much about that one yet… I also have 2 new originals 95% finished, will hopefully have them both ready to go in the next few weeks.

John Wesley Powell, an American explorer, scientific frontiersman, teacher, military leader, geologist, naturalist, government administrator, ethnographer, and geographer, is best known for having been the first to explore the length of the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. According to William Morris Davis, Powell laid the foundation for American geomorphology and profoundly influenced those who came after him.
Born in Mount Morris, New York, Powell spent many of his early years in Ohio, Wisconsin, and Illinois. His father, a dedicated Methodist abolitionist preacher and farmer, moved the family frequently to serve various congregations. John had obligations on the farm owing to his father's frequent absences. Irregularly educated, he received considerable natural history training from a neighbor, who provided a classroom, a small library, a laboratory, and ...

Q: Rails asynchronous ajax request rendered multiple times I am using rails with script response to ajax calls.  I click a button, the ajax is called, and a set of items is rendered in response and added to the page.
If I click the button rapidly (say 10 times), 10 response sets will be rendered.  However, in my logs I will only see 6 posts (or 7 depending how fast I click), the same number of database entries, and same number of responses rendered.  In Chrome, I also only 6 posts on the network tools tab.
If I set the jquery call to be async:false (which I understand is bad?), I seem to have no problems.
I am using Unicorn in Development if that makes a difference.
Can anyone tell me what is going on here (and how I can fix it)?  How are post responses getting rendered when there are no responses?  Is this a UJS race condition?

A: As I was reading, I suspected this would be the case; your async: false experiment seemed to confirm it (whether it's right is another story):

Server
I'd surmise your Ajax requests are being throttled by the server
I don't know exactly how this would be the case, but the idea that you're sending 10 requests; and only having 6 / 7 calls initialized, means not all your requests are getting through

Ajax
The reason why async: false is bad is because it freezes your browser until the synchronous request has been handled
This means that if you're sending a single request each time, your server will be able to handle it & return the data accordingly. Obviously, it will be bad for UX if you do this, but that's another story

Recommendation
Personally, I think the problem may be that your setup of Unicorn cannot handle concurrent connections, or something similar. Although Unicorn can handle concurrency, maybe your setup in development only gives it 1 worker or something?
Basically, your issue would make sense if your server only responded to 1 request at a time. That would mean your "missed" ajax responses would only be lost when unicorn is too busy to handle the request

Title: An enhanced ~1800-year record of recent volcanic ash-fall events for northern New Zealand from the analysis of Cryptotephra
Author: Gehrels, Maria J.
Awarding Body: University of Plymouth
Current Institution: University of Plymouth
http://hdl.handle.net/10026.1/2544
The history of volcanic eruptions in North Island, New Zealand, based on the visible stratigraphic record of tephras is not fully representative of the type, frequency and magnitude of eruptions that have occurred in the past or that are likely to occur in the future, Relatively small-scale eruptions from the region's andesitic volcanoes can produce widespread fine tephra falls with considerable impact, such as during recent eruptions of Mt Ruapehu ( 1995-1996) and Mt Ngauruhoe ( 1974-1975), and their threat is therefore likely to be underestimated. The aim of this study was to develop an enhanced stratigraphic record of recent ash-fall events in the Auckland and Waikato regions through the application of cryptotephrostratigraphic techniques. Cryptotephras in sediment cores from two peat bogs and two lakes were quantified and characterised for the period since deposition of the AD 233 ± 13 Taupo Tephra. A complex record of primary and reworked rhyolitic and andesitic tephra-fall is revealed. A stratigraphic and geochemical protocol for distinguishing primary from likely reworked tephras was developed and enabled the identification of ten post-Taupo cryptotephra-fall events. The rhyolitic Okataina Volcanic Centre-derived Kaharoa Tephra (AD 1314 ± 12), a key chronostratigraphic marker for human settlement in New Zealand, was found in all sites together with four pre-historic Mt Ruapehu-derived tephras of the Tufa Trig Formation (Tf4, Tf5, Tf6, and Tfl4). In the Waikato Region, an additional Tufa Trig tephra (Tf8) was detected, as well as ash fallout from historical eruptions of Mt Ruapehu ( 1861, 1945 and 1996) and Mt Ngauruhoe (1975). These findings represent a considerable extension to the known geographical ranges of tephra-fall events and demonstrate that cryptotephrostratigraphic techniques can enhance the historical and geological record of ash-fall events as a guide to future volcanic hazard assessment for countries such as New Zealand.


Postscripts: Will 2012 Be "the Elephants' Graveyard" of American Politics?
In the recent presidential contest this nation experienced one of the most cynical and reckless political misadventures on record. We refer to the erratic, ill-conceived Republican campaign that from Day One was doomed to a failure of monumental proportions. Because an indecisive John McCain lacked a coordinated long-range strategy, his team of handlers and speechwriters scripted each day's activity in impromptu fashion.
The publicly mild-mannered Mr. McCain, who initially promised to conduct an ethical and high-minded contest, turned out to be ill suited to the role of snarling attack dog. Determined to win at all costs, his unfocused campaign became so mired in pathetic personal attacks on his opponent that the prime issues on the minds of the electorate were ignored and excluded. The irony is that the McCain campaign embraced the very same shameful tactics used by George W. Bush that torpedoed an earlier McCain bid for the Republican nomination in 2000. Given that his dithering effort faced a superbly organized opposing team in the tightly controlled Obama organization, defeat was almost inevitable.
Even more rash was Mr. McCain's irresponsible selection of Sarah Palin as his vice-presidential candidate--a person he had met briefly only once and who was subjected to the most cursory vetting procedure ever accorded any candidate for high office. By doing so, he revealed himself to be capable of the most blatant political gamesmanship at the expense of the interests of both his party and this nation. His subsequent frantic latching onto another unvetted nonentity he dubbed "Joe the Plumber," making him the linchpin of his fast-fading campaign, was an exquisite example of both his desperation and his impetuosity.
In spite of having a remarkably thin resume, Sarah Palin, the surprising McCain vice-presidential choice, was a long shot plucked out of political obscurity. A former beauty queen and later mayor of a tiny and insignificant suburb of Anchorage, Alaska, when tapped by McCain operatives, she had been governor of that state for less than two years. In initial TV interviews with Charles Gibson and Katie Couric, Governor Palin became a master at evading answering a question by responding to a question that had not been asked. She exhibited such massive ignorance and lack of knowledge of or interest in the world outside Alaska that her handlers abruptly cut off future planned press conferences with the media.
Don't take our word for her abysmal ignorance. Here's the CBS Evening News account of the first of the Republican vice presidential candidate's interviews with anchor Katie Couric. Several times Couric asked Palin whether or not she was aware that the interviews were being taped, and that "other people would see them." Palin reportedly told Couric that she was indeed aware, but then asked Couric what she meant by "broadcast."
"I was concerned, after one of the times where she seemed to be answering a question I hadn't asked," Couric said. "It didn't seem possible that she would intentionally answer the question that way, knowing people would see it. So I stopped the interview, and I said, 'Governor, are you aware that this is the actual interview? What we're doing right now? That this isn't a rehearsal?' She said she was aware. I said, 'Okay. Just so you know it's being recorded and parts of it will be broadcast.' And then she said, 'You can't blink, Katie, because we share a narrow maritime border with Russia and it has to be all about job creation.' I didn't understand it, but we just went on with the interview. I was pressed for time."
"I went to the Governor privately and said, 'Governor Palin, did you not understand the question? I'm asking you to name some newspapers or magazines you read. You can't come up with any? I'm just trying to make sure you're clear and to give you a fair shake here.' And she said, 'Okay. Nightline? Is that a magazine?' I said, 'No, that's a television show.' She said, 'What about Lou Dobbs? Isn't that a newspaper?' And I said, 'No, that's a man. Lou Dobbs is a man.' And there wasn't much more I could do. I'm not a miracle worker."
Sarah Palin quickly demonstrated by her mangling of the Engish language and rules of grammar that she was little more than an unfunny version of comedian Professor Irwin Corey, "the world's gratest authoruty." Presidential candidate McCain's monumental task was to attempt to convince voters that, should the ticket be elected, a nonentity ignorant of even the most rudimentary facts of civics or government was the best Republican candidate to stand ready to assume the presidency in an emergency. His casual selection of an inexperienced poser with a self-deluding personality that almost borders on compulsive lying is inexplicable. That his virtually unknown running mate might become president by an act of fate is perhaps the most disturbing aspect of this whole shabby affair.
Nevertheless, Sarah Palin became an instant favorite of the fundamentalist religious right, while the usually aggressive mainstream media cut her an enormous amount of slack. Their acceptance of this totally unknown and unknowing woman as a serious competitor is an indication of the depths to which subservient press and TV reportage has descended in these United States. That Sarah Plain's name should have been placed on a presidential ticket in a nation whose president is the leader of the free world was the height of irresponsibility and an insult to the intelligence of every voter.
The realization that a befuddled Senator McCain and his unqualified and virtually unknown choice would extend and perpetuate the catastrophic eight-year presidency of George W. Bush, another incompetent, uncurious and hopelessly uninformed individual utterly out of his depth in foreign policy or national affairs, was especially troubling. The prospect was awful enough to send a collective shiver down the spines of a majority of voters.
The very fact that Sarah Palin and her witting sponsor garnered 46 percent of the vote is by far the most frightening aspect of the whole charade masquerading as the Republican presidential campaign. It is scary to think that such a large percentage of voters in these United States in A.D. 2008 was willing to risk the possibility of an unqualified ignoramus becoming president simply because she embodied their own narrow ideology. One has to wonder how many of those voters were aware of her anti-science attitudes and her belief that Alaska is one of the refuge states for the "End of Days" or that God intervenes in the selection of candidates for election.
Not only were we treated during the campaign to the spectacle of Sarah Palin, a glib mannequin spiffed up with a $180,000-plus wardrobe furnished by the Republican National Committee, but her every public appearance became a three-ring circus with her entire family on stage handing around her blanket-wrapped Down syndrome baby from family member to family member like some sort of a rented theatrical prop.
John McCain's impulsive selection of a dressmaker's dummy as his running mate and his attempt to fob her off as a serious candidate remain the most disquieting events in recent political history. In retrospect, her candidacy was an absolute farce. It still remains an unbelievable travesty, a nightmare from which this country thankfully is only now beginning to awaken.
Despite all that has happened to her and the clear message from the electorate, Sarah Palin doesn't get it. Refusing to accept that she was roundly rejected by a comfortable majority of voters, she is still basking in media attention. She pops up on cable shows as frequently as the ubiquitous Donald Trump. She was the featured speaker at the National Governors Association Conference in Florida. There is talk of a book deal for what will surely have to be the work of a ghostwriter--just like all her speeches.
Unbelievably, Sarah Palin is being touted by Republicans as a future leader of the GOP and a presidential candidate four years from now, when she will again be trotted out because she is naïve and malleable, a blank slate that can easily be manipulated. Dutifully, she will go anywhere and utter any words written for her. She has a strange appeal for the dying breed of Republican undiscouraged by the succession of gross failures during the two dismal terms of the Bush administration and his legacy of what will now have to be called "the Bush recession."
The elephant has been the longtime symbol of the Republican Party. Conventional wisdom holds that when elephants feel they are about to die, they head for a remote area known only to elephants. If Sarah Palin should become the standard bearer around whom the GOP builds its next national presidential campaign, then 2012 may indeed be "the elephants' graveyard" of American politics.

From Europe to Asia and the Americas—and all the continents and regions in between—the word on everyone's lips is "recession." You can see the concern about the next great global downturn reflected in political and fiscal policy in just about every jurisdiction.
In the United States, the Federal Reserve was so concerned about an impending end to the longest uninterrupted period of economic growth that it cut interest rates as a preemptive measure. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump's administration is exploring a possible payroll tax cut to stimulate the economy.
In Europe, the focus is on Germany, which is on the brink of a recession after experiencing a contraction of its economy in the second quarter of 2019. A recession in Germany, long thought to be the economic engine that drives the European Union, along with Brexit uncertainty in the United Kingdom, could spell economic doom.
China is also drifting into uncertain economic waters. Recently, the country allowed its currency to depreciate to historic lows in a bid to spur exports. Traders and economists worry, however, that China's monetary policy could kick off a global currency war that, on its own, could lead to a recession.
Now, it must be said that recessions are very difficult to predict. Nate Silver, one of the world's most accomplished statisticians, noted in his 2012 book The Signal and the Noise that no one has ever accurately predicted a recession before it arrived. In fact, economists often fail to see the evidence of a recession even after it has begun. That explains, in part, why so many informed sources are offering such dire predictions: no one is absolutely sure a recession is coming, but they don't want to get caught by surprise this time.
For employers of all sizes, the recent flood of recession chatter highlights two separate but connected concerns.
First, employers need to understand that they must have a plan in place before an economic downturn hits. If you wait until the world is firmly in the grips of a recession, you're already too late to protect your organization and its employees.
And second, when preparing that plan, it's essential to realize that the next recession is going to be fundamentally different than the last one. It's going to require employers to take radically different approaches to managing their workforces.
You can't just reduce headcount and expect to rebuild your workforce after the recession is over.
When the so-called Great Recession took hold, employers did what they normally do—they started laying off staff to reduce costs. In the United States alone in 2008, 2.6 million people lost their jobs. By 2010, that number had risen to 8.7 million.
In past recessions, employers reduced headcount when times were bad and then hired people back when the economy turned around. This time, however, things were different.
Layoffs left many organizations flat-footed when the recovery came. They were suddenly short of skilled labor and unable to ramp back up to pre-recession levels. Of greater concern, many of these organizations suffered untold damage to their employer brand for moving quickly to lay off staff, a strategy that made it difficult to attract top talent in the post-recession market.
Employers will need to keep all these long-term trends in mind when making workforce decisions as they face the next recession.
Employers will have to be more strategic and patient with downsizing.
In the last recession, organizations that moved quickly to lay off employees were lauded as agile and responsive. However, the labor markets have changed so much since then, moving too quickly to eliminate jobs may do far more harm than good.
In the next recession, the "winners" will be those organizations that can make thoughtful and strategic decisions on headcount. These organizations will have conducted detailed assessments of their employees so that they know what skills their workers possess, what roles they are filling now and how they might contribute in the future. These organizations will use redeployment and learning wherever possible to avoid having to lay off genuine talent.
That last recession helped make disengagement among employees a chronic condition.
Many of those who didn't lose their jobs a decade ago found that being asked to do so much more for the same pay, or less, was a very stressful, unsatisfying experience. The result is that, despite huge investments in all aspects of the employee experience, far too many people are chronically disengaged at work. In fact, according to sources like Gallup, nearly two-thirds of U.S. workers remain disengaged from their jobs. Those numbers have not changed since Gallup started surveying engagement levels among American employees two decades ago.
Recession or no recession, employers should ensure employees feel valued and provide opportunities for them to develop and achieve professional, personal and organizational goals. In a labor market where skilled workers are at such a premium, this will be especially important.
Re-/upskilling will become much more important during the next recession.
The skilled labor shortage has a lot of people talking about re-/upskilling as a key to finding the people with the skills necessary to transform and compete. However, all available data we have about re-/upskilling shows that, while acknowledging its importance, employers are simply not doing enough in this area.
It's important to remember that in the next recession, it is no longer enough to try and protect as many jobs as possible. Employers have to create a workforce that is agile, adaptable and able to learn new skills in new roles.
One of the most important things we can do for our organizations and our employees is to learn from past experience. The 2008 recession was, for many of us, one of the most challenging events we had ever encountered. The next recession will likely prove to be just as challenging.
Are you up for that challenge? Did you learn from the last recession, and are you ready to employ new workforce strategies?
If you can't answer yes to all of those questions, you simply won't be ready when the next downturn comes.

En la cultura japonesa contemporánea, , es el término utilizado para denominar a hombres que practican el travestismo.

El término tiene sus orígenes en el manga, y en la cultura del internet a comienzos de los años 2000. Sin embargo, el concepto refleja una amplia gama de tradiciones anteriores y ejemplos de travestismo masculino en Japón, tales como los onnagata (un actor masculino que encarna en las obras teatrales el papel de una joven mujer) en el teatro de kabuki, y en la carrera del artista travesti Akihiro Miwa. Otokonoko es un juego de palabras con el término , también pronunciado como otokonoko y que significa "niño". Comúnmente asociado con la cultura otaku, ha dado lugar a maid cafés temáticos, tiendas de moda y una amplia gama de medios de comunicación populares en Japón. A menudo, muchos personajes femeninos de ficción son representados por hombres.

El concepto de "otokonoko" no corresponde a ninguna identidad sexual o identidad de género particular.

Por extensión, otokonoko también se refiere a un género de medios de comunicación y ficción sobre travestismo en hombres, dirigido a un público masculino. Se le considera parte del espectro del entretenimiento shōnen (dirigido a adolescentes jóvenes) y el entretenimiento seinen (dirigido a hombres jóvenes). A menudo contiene elementos eróticos o románticos. Los personajes otokonoko también han comenzado a ganar popularidad en varios medios de entretenimiento, tales como en el manga, anime y videojuegos.

Many homeowners are finding that builders are creating more and more cookie-cutter neighborhoods. This means that the builder has a standard set of home designs, and that is all that they will let people purchase. Because of this, subdivisions are popping up that contain the same type of houses on every street. While this may be an affordable option for homewoners, it doesn't leave much room to stand out.
However, that can all change. Just because your home may have the same structure as another home doesn't mean that it has to constantly look the same. There are so many things you can do that will make your home the best looking one in the neighborhood. You simply just need to know where to start. Check out these four ways to make your home stand out in your neighborhood.
One of the easiest things you can change that will make your home stand out is to change the landscape design. By adding fun trees, plants, and flowers to your yard, or by adding some fun landscape blocks or water features, you can certainly make your home stand out from others in the neighborhood. This is something you can easily do yourself, or you can hire a professional landscape company to come in and give your yard an overhaul. Either way, you'll certainly make a statement and be the envy of the neighborhood.
It's amazing what a little change can do to your home. For instance, maybe you can add a porch to your home to make it look different. Or maybe you can add some depth by adding some peaks to the roofline. You should consider hiring an architect that specializes in home building and redesign. For example, Peter Marino is well-known for making homes and buildings stand out among the crowd, so he would be a good choice. No matter who you choose, though, be sure to communicate your wants and needs. It would also be a smart idea to check with your homeowner's association first (if you have one) just to be sure that the changes you plan to implement will not violate any bylaws.
You'd be surprised at how some new paint or new siding can really change the way your home looks from the outside. For instance, many builders opt for standard colors, such as your light grays or beiges. They also tend to stick to traditional vinyl siding. If you want to stand out, consider painting your home a new color and be sure to choose something that stands out. If you want more of a change, you can also opt for a different type of siding, such as a cement board siding or even stone. When you make your home look different from the other homes in the area through siding, you will have a longlasting and attractive home for a long period of time.
Sometimes small changes can make a big impact on your home's overall look. For instance, why not consider changing your front door to something that stands out? You can also change your garage door to something other than the generic white. For more fun flair, why not consider painting or changing out shutters to your home to make them look nicer? Add some fun lighting to your home too, or change out the rails on your front porch. These are all small and inexpensive fixes, and they can have a great impact on your home's overall look.
You want to be proud of your home, and the best way to do this is to make it as lively as you can. From landscaping, to structure changes, to siding and small décor pops, there is so much you can do that will make others in the neighborhood jealous of your home. Be sure to use these tips, and as mentioned above, you want to be sure to check with your homeowner's association or community building team to be sure that your plans do not violate any bylaws. After all, the last thing you want to do is put all this money into your home just to be fined for breaking the rules.


In the vineyards, preceding each row, it's customary to plant a rosebush. Although both the vines and the rosebush are sensitive to illness, the latter shows symptoms of infection first. Being more vulnerable than the vine to fungi, the rosebush works as an indicator of the best moment to apply treatment to the vineyard. In an analogous way, we could say that artists are rosebushes and societies are vineyards. History has shown that art is an indicator of the events and trends of its time. An Augur of our state, it presciently reveals what's happening to us as a society an instant before we are conscious of it. That's why it's so important to approach contemporary art, because it shows us today what is yet to come, through a direct and universal language.
My name is Carolina Verd, I'm an artist and a model. I want to share with you my vision about art and fashion as witnesses of our time.

Scaffold for success
By Maria Hadlow23 April 2010
German scaffold system manufacturer Layher has produced a map to take visitors on a tour of all its new developments.
Managing partner Carolin Langer said of the driving principals behind Layher's development strategy, "Our aims are to improve safety, service and the success of our customers."
Among the new products is the Allround bridging system, which is a modular design for use with Layher's Allround scaffolding. The bridge can be up to 30 m long and is available in 2.07 m and 2.57 m widths. It can be craned into position and is suitable for applications such as pedestrian walkways and access.
Layher has produced a glass fibre and polypropelene deck which customers can use to replace the plywood decks on the N-decks, they will not rot or splinter and have a non slip surface.
In the Speedyscaf range Layher has reduced the weight of its Euro Assembly 1.09 m frames by 3.5 kg. The weight reduction has been achieved by using a higher grade steel which has allowed th walls of the tube to be reduced from 3.2 mm to 2.7 mm. Technical specialist Harold Ilg sid that the development would be intergrated into other products in the range.
Look out for more details on the launches from Layher in Access International's Bauma review.

← Heading North into Colombia: Gold, Rain, and Mud!
Out of the cold, damp weather of Colombia we took a flight to the island of Roatan in Honduras. When we arrived in Roatan we didn't have any plans, but we knew was thatre there was spectacular diving here. Since we hadn't done much diving lately I was itching to get back in and make myself feel more comfortable with being underwater and the only way to do that in my opinion is by practicing. Once checked into our little cottage type room we headed out to see what sort of specials the diving shops might have. Our first shop we stopped at had a few Australian girls working at and they were very informative and friendly so we decided to sign up right away for a certification in advanced open water diving. This certification requires us to learn to drift dive, night dive, dive with navigation, deep water dive and a wreck dive. I was excited to be in a class again because I like when there is an instructor to guide us while learning new techniques.
Our first dive for the course was our deep dive which we were so lucky because it also included a ship wreck. It was amazing descending over the top of this large sunken ship, the water was so clear we didn't even notice how deep we actually were. In the specific area there were massive grouper and snapper, they looked almost prehistoric. Our second dive was a drift dive in which we were supposed to learn how to swim with currents and such, but there was hardly any current so we didn't get to see the star of the show during this dive "Texas". You know how people always say "it's always bigger in Texas," well they named this site after Texas because there is gigantic sea weed and barrels. Almost like a valley of them, barrels so big you can supposedly curl up in them, but unfortunately we didn't get to see because we didn't drift that far. We will save that for our next trip to Honduras. The third dive was learning how to navigate underwater using a compass and land marks, the sun etc. Adam did really well with this lesson; I on the other hand failed miserably. I had to redo so many of the steps I think the instructor passed me because he felt sorry for me.
Our fourth dive didn't wow Adam and I that much at first because it was a night dive, and at first I was nervous. The thought of swimming at night made us feel claustrophobic, but with our humor watching the other two divers made us laugh almost the whole dive. They were bouncing all around, and couldn't get their buoyancy correct. Towards the end of the dive was one of my favorite memories of diving. We were told to kneel in a sandy patch and cut our lights. Then as your eyes started to adjust to the night, the moon sort of lit the water around you. After a few minutes or two your eyes really started to adjust to the darkness and there was what they call "String of pearls" that glows in the water, it is actually shrimp, but looks like a strand of pearls that light up bead by bead. It was really amazing, these things were all around us, lighting up. I felt like this was something out of the Avatar movie or something so surreal. Our fourth dive the next day was a really cool dive, we swam through these crevices in the bottom, almost like cave diving but learning how to control your buoyancy and not hit the coral.
This by far has to be some of the best diving Adam and I have done. Every place we dove on this trip has its highlights, but Roatan was jaw dropping on almost every dive. It was very exciting to have been here and to have dove so much with such great dive masters too. Our meals here were pretty basic; one of the highlights was wing night at a local restaurant. Other than that we made a lot of pasta in our kitchen and fought off thousands of termites our last night on the island. That evening there was a nice evening thunderstorm which must have disturbed the termites. I'm not lying to you when I say they were as large as wasps and there were thousands of them. It was one of the most annoying things to deal with. It got really bad we had to move to another room and sit with the lights out because they were attracted by light. At this point, we've gotten used to things like this… at the start of the trip, I would've totally freaked out!

Your night dive seems like it was amazing! Your pictures also turned out great.


1. The Fund will reimburse a stallion manager or stallion owner 25% of the "advertising cost" for display advertisements printed in a recognized trade publication, as determined by the Fund's Board of Directors, up to an annual maximum of $1,000 per stallion. For example, if a stallion manager or stallion owner places four display advertisements for his or her stallion in a recognized trade publication at a cost of $1,000 per advertisement, for a total of $4,000 in advertising cost, the Fund would reimburse 25%, or $1,000, of the advertising cost. If a farm has more than one stallion, this offer would apply to each stallion. If a farm advertises four stallions in the body of one advertisement, the Fund would reimburse the farm at 25% of the advertising cost. In the event that multiple stallions appear in one advertisement, the $1,000 cap per stallion will be allocated on a pro rata basis. This offer does not include statistical/roster advertisements that appear in stallion registries. The term "advertising cost" shall mean only the cost of placing the advertisement, not the cost associated with creating or otherwise producing the advertisement itself.
2. In order to qualify for reimbursement from the Fund, each advertisement must carry the Fund's masthead and logo, and the phrase "New York-breds…They Start with an Advantage!" The Fund will provide its logo to farms' advertising firms, upon request, for film production. The Fund masthead, logo, and phrase must be at least 2.25" (two and a quarter inches) in length or your ad will not qualify for reimbursement. Also note that, in order to qualify for reimbursement from the Fund, the size of the advertisement must be at least one-half (1/2) page.
3. In order for a stallion to participate in the reimbursement program, the stallion manager or stallion owner must send the Fund a written request to participate, along with the stallion registration application. In addition, the stallion manager or stallion owner must sign an indemnification agreement indemnifying the Fund against any and all claims or liabilities arising out of the placement of any advertisements carrying the Fund's masthead, logo, and tag line.
4. A copy of the advertisement must be submitted to the Fund along with a copy of the bill in order to qualify for reimbursement. All submissions must be made no later than September of the year in which the stallion stood in the state.
5. By applying for eligibility under this reimbursement program, all participants stipulate and agree that if there are any disputes regarding their eligibility for reimbursement, the application of this program to their stallion, or the interpretation of any terms of this program, such disputes shall be resolved solely by the Fund's Board of Directors. The Fund reserves the right at its sole discretion to modify or delete any of the terms or conditions of this reimbursement program.
The New York Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund also offers 25% reimbursement, not to exceed $1,000 per stallion, for video ads. The program will contribute to the production expenses associated with professionally created video ads for registered New York stallions.
These videos must also include the New York Breeding and Racing Program logo and the slogan "New York-breds… They Start with an Advantage!" and must specify the program's website address (www.NYBreds.com). The above must appear for a duration of no less than 10% of each individually produced television commercial.
It is our hope that you will avail yourself of the opportunity to participate in this exciting promotion.


Born and raised in small-town Illinois, my childhood was a John Cougar Mellencamp song! In the winter of 2012, the opportunity to make the move across country presented itself. So I packed up my little SUV with my kids and Basset Hound and journeyed to Phoenix. Within a couple weeks of getting here, I joined the Ahwatukee Foothills Community Band (I have played the trumpet since I was ten). I am the mother of two grown daughters who make me feel much older than I am, and my son is in middle school. My son and I are currently members of Cornerstone church in Chandler. At Good Neighbor, I find myself surrounded by terrific company. I am a truly blessed person!
I have over 15 years' experience in the hospitality industry, and many years' experience in an administrative role. I look forward to connecting with many world travelers.
Being a "Good Neighbor" means that we will go above and beyond to treat every client the way we ourselves would want to be treated. Every person, every story, every trip, every loved one is important and we care about everyone's protection.
3.) Tracy, where have you traveled to/lived? What did you like about it and what has it taught you?
I am originally from northern Illinois, and I loved taking spur of the moment road trips. One day I decided to load the kids in the car and take the drive from Illinois to Niagara Falls (about a ten hour drive). It was beautiful, and I hope I'm showing my kids how to live in the moment and enjoy each day.
I'm a musician at heart, and I love jazz. New Orleans is definitely on my list! Maybe not for Mardi Gras, but for the jazz festival they have in April.
My mother's side of the family has very strong Irish roots. A cousin of mine is into genealogy and knows the birthplace of many of our ancestors. Ireland would also be on my list.
My third choice would involve a white sandy beach, blue water, and warm air. I'm open to the location!
Make sure you protect yourself in every way, but always live happy.
1.) I am grateful that I am so loved by God!
2.) I am grateful for three beautiful, healthy, loving children and two grandsons.

Home › games › Four Cast
Four Cast
The creature playing this game
reminds me of the Newcomb Being.
Four Cast is one of the most unusual casino games I have ever seen. Normally I don't write about the really bizarre games, but Four Cast has been played at the Slotland and Win a Day Internet casinos since almost the beginning of Internet gambling.
The thrust of the game is the player has to make a forecast on the rank and suit of each of four playing cards. To make things easier, there are a couple jokers, which always result in a correct prediction and double the player's balance. The game starts with multiplying the player's bet by 100 but incorrect and partially incorrect answers will quickly diminish that balance. Whatever is left after four predictions is what the player gets.
Finally, there is a progressive jackpot that the player should be not be overly tempted by. The odds of hitting it are not determined naturally by the cards, as I explain below.
A 54-card deck is used, with the usual 52 cards plus two jokers.
Four cards are dealt to the player.
Whatever the player bets, the game will multiply that bet by 100.
The player must make two forecasts about the first card:
The suit (hearts, diamonds, clubs, or spades)
Whether it is odd (3, 5, 7, 9), even (2, 4, 6, 8, or 10), or high (jack, queen, king, or ace)
If the card is a joker, then the balance is doubled.
If the player gets both forecasts correct, then his balance remains the same.
If the player gets the suit only correct, then his balance is reduced by 50%.
Otherwise, the balance is reduced by 90%.
The player will repeat steps 4 to 8 for three more cards.
Any reduction will be rounded down to the nearest $0.25.
If the player bet $20 and gets all four predictions correct and all four suits are represented, then the player will win a progressive jackpot.
Per the casino's own rules, the jackpot is not triggered by the cards but rather by an internal mechanism. Here is a screenshot of how they explain it:
I have two pieces of advice regarding strategy:
Always pick even, since it includes five ranks, and both alternatives contain four only.
Pick the suit with the equal or more remaining cards left than all other suits.
The following table shows the expected return, assuming the player does not bet enough to qualify for the progressive jackpot and ignoring the effect of rounding down. The lower right cell shows an expected return of 89.457%. In other words, a house edge of 10.543%.
Four Cast Return Table
50 0.001539 0.076974
12.5 0.001349 0.016863
6.25 0.000539 0.003370
5 0.019547 0.097734
2.5 0.018971 0.047427
Total 1.000000 0.894570
Before considering the jackpot, the house edge of Four Cast is 10.543%. If the game was dealt fairly, then the probability of the jackpot would be 1 in 12,144. This would result in an extra return of 4.11% for each $10,000 in the jackpot meter. At the minimum jackpot of $50,000, the player advantage would be 10.04%. As of this writing, the jackpot is at $53,912, which would result in a player advantage of 11.65%. At a jackpot of $100,000, the player advantage would be 30.63%
However, all that is moot because the jackpot isn't determined fairly by the cards. Since the odds of the jackpot can't be quantified, I can't justify ascribing any value to it, so I can't argue the return is any higher than 89.46%.
Grey List
I am big on open and honest gambling. Part of that means electronic representations of physical gambling equipment like cards, dice and balls conform to natural probabilities, as if played in real life. By their own admission, Slotland and Win a Day do not trigger the jackpot in card games by the cards themselves. For this reason, Slotland and Win a Day are on my online casino grey list. At least they admit the jackpots are gaffed. If they didn't, they would be on the blacklist.

50 Cent's son Marquise Jackson disses his estranged father on the budding rapper's "Different," a cut off his upcoming mixtape Escape.
On the song, Marquise, 50 Cent's first-born song, raps about his father, "Lost my pops, he's still alive." Other lyrics on the track, which was inspired by 50 Cent's "In Da Club" producer Dr. Dre's "What's the Difference?," also address his father Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson.
In an interview with Rap-Up, Marquise talked about how and when his relationship with 50 Cent disintegrated.


As environmental degradation increases we are bound to experience an increase of interest in Nature religions. When you risk losing something then you start to treasure it more. But there are other phenomena occurring which I believe will also affect people's spiritual affiliation. While there is now a trend towards fundamentalism in all religions, there is an interesting and quite contrary phenomenon occurring. More and more people are recognising the universal themes they see expressed in every religion and they are becoming less interested in dogma and in rigid identification with any one religious path. Instead they might be inspired by elements of a number of paths to create their own rather individual way. A prosaic analogy is the way you can now combine paints in a hardware store to create just the shade of colour you need. On the one hand this can lead to a consumerist approach which is naturally criticised by theologians and religious thinkers. They talk about the 'New Age schmorgasbord' which goes for variety rather than depth, but if we go beyond this judgemental position to observe what is really happening we can see that many people can no longer hold an allegiance to just one religion. They are becoming 'global citizens' in their faith as well as in other ways.

Definition of Limited Liability Corporation
by Subha Varadan
Limited Liability Company (L.L.C) is a form of business organization that combines the benefits of both a partnership and a corporation. The term limited liability implies that creditors can seize the company's assets but cannot seize the personal assets of the shareholders.
Structure.
The owners of the Limited Liability Company (L.L.C) are called "members," and enjoy limited liability, whereas the creditors have access to only the company's assets. The earnings of the company are taxed at personal income tax rates.
The L.L.C formation requires the preparation of the "certificate of formation" and the "articles of organization." Another document titled the "operating agreement" is also needed to specify the duties, governance, division of profits and ownership rights of the company.
Limitations.
The L.L.C, unlike the corporation, has a limited lifespan as specified in the documents of its formation. The transfer of ownership is difficult because the consent of all the members is required.
Advantages - Unlimited members.
The capital for LLC comes from its members, but there are no restrictions on the number of members. The members also need not be individuals and can be other companies.
Advantages -Tax structure.
The LLC profits are taxed on the personal income tax levels of the members. A corporation's shareholders (owners), on the other hand, are taxed twice because their corporation pays corporate taxes, and they have to pay personal taxes.

No sooner did I get a chance to rejoice at my brother Frodo's return than I received a visit from a beautiful and mysterious stranger. She claims to be a hobbit ranger, like Trotter, and she says that, due to some dimensional and magical means I do not understand, Trotter's party may be lost for good, dead or alive. I may never see Hamilcar again. This saddens me beyond measure.
I wish . . . I wish now I had never come back to the Shire. The fact that I agreed to be Erchi's ring bearer Sunday and to take care of little Bilbo next week are the only things that are keeping me going . . . else I'd just wander off somewhere . . . preferably with a cliff at the end of it, I suppose. I'm not even getting any work or correspondence of any kind from DOMEACE lately to call my time useful. My heart is so heavy with dread and despair.

Genetic Enhancements Can Help Crops Absorb More Carbon Dioxide
Modifying crops to grow longer roots deeper into the soil would allow plants to naturally sequester more carbon dioxide in soil, Douglas Kell, a scientist at the UK's University of Manchester reports in the September issue of Annals of Botany.
Two-Meter Threshold
Noting that plants currently absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide and store the greenhouse gas underground through their root systems, Kell calculated the amount of additional carbon dioxide that would be stored by plants with longer root systems.
Kell found plants with root systems reaching two meters underground are much more effective at storing carbon dioxide in soil than those with root systems confined to the top meter of soil, which is the case for most crops. Breeding crops with roots a meter deeper could double the amount of carbon captured from the environment, Kell discovered. Kell calculated this could be a significant weapon in the fight against climate change.
"This doubling of root biomass from a nominal 1m to a nominal 2m is really the key issue, together with the longevity of the roots and carbon they secrete and sequester below-ground," said Kell in a University of Manchester press statement.
Better Drought Tolerance
Kell found plants with deeper root systems are also more drought-tolerant.
"In addition to the simple carbon sequestration that this breeding could imply—possibly double that of common annual grain crops—such plants seem to mobilize and retain nutrients and water very effectively over extended periods, thus providing resistance to drought, flooding, and other challenges," said Kell.
"While there is a way to go before such crops might have, for example, the grain yields of present-day cereals, their breeding and deployment seems a very promising avenue for sustainable agriculture," Kell explained.
Dilemma for Activists
Although humans have employed selective breeding practices for millennia, advances in recent years have allowed scientists to isolate specific genes in some plants and splice them into others. Some environmental activist groups oppose such genetic engineering, but these also tend to be among the most vocal proponents of action to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations. Kell's study will force the activist groups to decide whether their global warming concerns trump their opposition to genetic engineering.
"Neither global warming alarmism nor opposition to genetic crop enhancements is supported by sound science," said Jay Lehr, science director for The Heartland Institute, which publishes Environment & Climate News. "If environmental activists are motivated by genuine concern over the earth's climate rather than ulterior motives, they will have no reason to oppose genetic engineering of crops to absorb and sequester more carbon dioxide.
"If environmental activist groups continue their blanket opposition to genetic engineering, even when such modifications have the potential to significantly reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations, this will provide strong evidence the activists are not as concerned about global warming as they claim," Lehr explained.

Using primary and secondary sources to unravel the past is at the heart of NHD's approach. You're familiar with secondary sources because you rely on them all the time—for example, your textbook, most of the news you hear on the television, and articles you read online.
A secondary source can be made up of lots of other sources, some that are written down like books or diaries, and others that are not written, like photos and drawings.

Anyone who's seen the 1980s sitcom Cheers will be instantly familiar with the Norfolk Square Small Batch's layout; the 'bar' sits in the centre of the room. The former bank is bright and airy, with a high ceiling and seating all around the island in the centre.
As well as the Goldstone Espresso, served in all Small Batch's locations, a rotating brew bar is also available. The method and bean changes often so keep an eye out for Norfolk Square's latest offerings.
Great coffee and a beautiful location go hand in hand, whether it's enjoying an espresso at the bar or taking the short wander to the beach with a take away Iced Flat White or Iced Bounty. Norfolk Square is a unique location worth visiting.


Wow what fun I had taking photos of Kacie. She was a natural model and I think she had fun too. On a beautiful fall day Kacie, her mom and I headed out to Ruby, AZ. Ruby is an old mining town in Southern Arizona not far from the international border.
When I asked Kacie were she wanted to take her senior photo session she wasn't sure. At first she wanted Mount Lemon or even the Empire Ranch. I combed the internet for senior photo session ideas and sent her some poses I liked. Kacie decided she liked the photos taken by an old truck. Then we remembered that there was an old truck at Ruby. So Ruby it was.
The senior photo session started with photos on the truck. The old dump truck was very rusty and weathered. It provided a great backdrop for some fun photos.
We then moved on to an old adobe building. The weeds were tall and really added to the depth and texture of the finished photos. One of the ideas we got from the internet search of senior photos session was to add the graduation year to the images. I had always wanted to do a photo with the subject appearing multiple times in the same photo.
To accomplish this look I had to put my camera on a tripod. Once I had the camera set, I had Kacie pose in several different areas within the camera's view. We put the numbers of 2016 on a small backboard. The numbers were drawn in different colored chalk. All in all this took the longest time to shoot.
I then picked out the four best poses and put them together in Photoshop. It was tricky to get the images spaced correctly. But the results were very cute.
Other poses were in the old school house in two of the rooms. The lighting was good and I didn't have to use a flash. It was a very fun day and I'm very proud of the results of this senior photo session!

Strong quake hits south Ecuador; no early reports of damage
MEXICO CITY — A strong earthquake has shaken southern Ecuador near the city of Cuenca. Authorities say there are no early reports of damage.
The U.S. Geological Survey says Thursday night's quake had a preliminary magnitude of 6.2. Its epicenter was 93 kilometers (58 miles) below the surface.
The quake struck at 9:12 p.m. in an area about 63 kilometers (39 miles) north of Cuenca.
