Blues honour Hull, then beat Flames
Blues 4 Flames 3 ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Blues honoured Brett Hull for a second time and this time they made it a feel-good night all the way around.

Blues 4 Flames 3
ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Blues honoured Brett Hull for a second time and this time they made it a feel-good night all the way around.
T.J. Oshie scored the go-ahead goal with 4:58 to play and the Calgary Flames were limited to only four shots in the third period of St. Louis' 4-3 victory on Tuesday night. The Blues are only 6-10-2 at home, and beat the NHL's top road team after Hull was honoured for his recent induction to the Hockey Hall of Fame in a pre-game ceremony.
"I think the festivities definitely helped us," said Brad Boyes, who assisted on the first three goals. "But at the same time it was a big game. We've got to get this home record back to the way we need it, and tonight was the first step."
The first time the Blues honoured Hull, there was a sour finish — a 5-1 loss to the Detroit Red Wings in December 2006 that was the final game before coach Mike Kitchen was fired. Players also were motivated after blowing a 3-0 lead in a 5-3 loss to the Oilers at home on Friday.
"I think we learned from our mistakes," Oshie said. "We talked about putting a 60-minute game together. We had our heads on straight."
Rene Bourque had a goal and assist for the Flames, who have lost three straight one-goal decisions. Calgary is 11-5-3 on the road with an NHL-leading 25 points.
"I think we've just got to get back to our game," forward Dustin Boyd said. "The last three games we've shown flashes, but not enough."
All of the Flames' regulation road losses have been by one goal.
"For 40 minutes it was a good game," Calgary coach Brent Sutter said. "We took our foot off the pedal in the third and made some mental mistakes."
Andy McDonald and Alex Steen snapped goal droughts of 14 and 12 games for the Blues.
Oshie scored on a rush, beating backup goalie Curtis McElhinney from the slot off a feed from Paul Kariya. It was his second winning goal of the season and this month, after scoring in a shootout at San Jose on Dec. 4.
"That was a great pass, good shot, good execution," Blues coach Andy Murray said. "We just needed to beat somebody at home."
Daymond Langkow's power-play goal early in the second ended a string of 10 consecutive penalty kills by St. Louis. Calgary took its first lead when Boyd scored from the slot midway through the period. The Blues tied it at 3 on Steen's power-play goal at 17:23, with the puck apparently deflecting off Langkow's stick in front.
David Backes' third goal in two games opened the scoring, and McDonald sped around Robyn Regehr and scored with just over a minute to go in the first period to give the Blues their second lead.
Bourque scored his 10th goal and third in four games midway through the period after Dion Phaneuf's backhand feed across the crease.
NOTES: Flames D Jay Bouwmeester played in his 375th consecutive game, the NHL's longest current streak. … Blues F Cam Janssen, who attempted to set the tone with an early fight against Brandon Prust, had been a healthy scratch the previous five games. … Flames captain Jarome Iginla entered the night tied for 10th in the NHL with 17 goals, but has been held to four assists in seven games. … Attendance of 19,150 was the Blues' 12th sellout.

About every six months or so, a slow news day will yield a story about an irate cyclist refused service from a McDonald's drive through.
Here's one. Here's another. McDonalds keep having to pedal out the same old response every time the story hits the news: pedal bikes aren't permitted in McDonald's drive through because they don't adhere to the company's health and safety policies.
But with cycling becoming the preferred mode of transport in many major urban centres, the policy book might be set for a rewrite.
A new bike-friendly packaging concept, McBike, is currently being trialled Buenos Aires, Argentina, Copenhagen in Denmark and Medellin in Colombia. The brain child of creative agency Tribal, the scheme fits in line with McDonald's perpetually failed attempt to appear a health-concious food brand.
The McBike packaging allows for full meal - including chips and drinks - to sit inside a box which can then be hung over a bike's handlebars. At least it means you'll be able to pedal off the calories of your favourite cheat meal?
The scheme is set to head to the bike-friendly cities of Amsterdam and Tokyo next, with no word on if the McBike idea arrive in the UK with a change of policies.
We're hoping so, if only to do away with yet the annual local news pictures of a cyclist looking pissed off in front of a McDonald's outlet.


Random strangers are given free tickets to the screening of a film at The Metropol, a theater that has just opened. Soon, the audience begins to transform into bloodthirsty demons that transmit their contagion by a mere scratch. The survivors become trapped inside the building and must find a way out.
Director Lamberto Bava's relentless, hyperspeed gorefest is an assault on the senses. A heavy metal soundtrack blares loudly amidst the frenzied pace, mixed with the sounds of screaming people and snarling demons, to dizzying effect. Claudio Simonetti's sinister compositions appear at key moments, creating a frightening aural experience.
The gore is plentiful and extremely graphic, accentuated by Sergio Stivaletti's impressive demon transformation effects. Deaths are brutally violent, with eye-gougings, ripped throats, and wounds that burst with colorful liquids.
Flickering shadows are set against a palette of deep reds and blues. The Metropol is menacing and possessed with supernatural malice, reminiscent of buildings in films such as Suspiria, The Church, and Inferno. The film's creepiness is enhanced by a lack of explanation about the force behind the events. This Dario Argento production is one of Bava's finest films.

In Japan, Sega Just Asked 650 Employees To Retire Voluntarily
Photo: CHARLY TRIBALLEAU/Getty Images (Getty Images)
As Sega Sammy announced it's selling off its arcade business, the Tokyo-based game company also announced that it is asking 650 employees to retire voluntarily. With covid-19 impacting business, Sega is expecting what it calls "an extraordinary loss" during the current financial year.
Sega Sammy Holdings was formed after Sega and Sammy merged in 2004.
According to the company, the global pandemic has "significantly affected" business, which is why the company is selling its arcade business.
"However," Sega Sammy continued in an official announcement, "in order to recover earnings at an early stage and achieve sustainable growth in the future, we consider that it is necessary to promote cost-reduction centered on fixed expenses and build an even more efficient system and decided to call for voluntary retirement of employees."
Sega Sammy is asking 650 full-time employees to voluntarily retire, giving all those who choose to do so "payment of extraordinary retirement allowances and reemployment support for applicants."
What's more, Sega Sammy is slashing the salaries of its executives. The company's Representative Director is getting a 30 percent monthly pay cut, while the Senior Executive Vice President is dropping 20 percent, and the Senior Vice President is seeing 10 percent come off his monthly pay. Among Sega Sammy's group companies, there will also be pay cuts for top management. Sega Sammy will also not pay performance bonuses to the company's directors based on this year's financial forecast.
According to Sega Sammy, the company expects to record around 10 billion yen ($96.6 million) in losses during the financial year ending next March.

Given how challenging it is out there it seems like a really, really nice way to go about it. Unfortunately the working conditions and nepotism in Japan is terrible so I guess it all balances out somewhere..

Rocket Man: Space Club Project Manager Levi Willmeth discusses inspiration and upcoming NASA Internship
by Commuter Staff · April 12, 2017
Levi Willmeth holds the payload for the Eclipse Ballooning Project.
It was a clear Saturday morning and the Albany campus of LBCC was mostly silent aside from the few birds that chirped in the morning sun. The majority of the college's students were at home recovering from the busy school week while Levi Willmeth and the Space Exploration Club were hard at work on their latest endeavor.
Willmeth is a graduate of LBCC with an associate degree in computer sciences. He is the project manager of the Space Exploration Club and is starting an internship at NASA later this year in June. He is currently enrolled at OSU and is scheduled to graduate with a bachelor's degree in 2018.
Willmeth grew up in a small, unincorporated community in Southern Oregon called Williams. He cites his small-town upbringing as an inspiration for going into computer engineering.
"Growing up, I was always fascinated by electricity and electronics. Maybe it's because we lived very much off-the-grid, without amenities like electricity, or even a phone line, at home."
Willmeth was home schooled immediately after sixth grade and felt like he was missing out on opportunities for pursuing a college education because of it. He was fed up with his situation and decided to take action by enrolling at LBCC.
"Four years ago, I realized it wasn't my circumstances holding me back: it was just me. One day I realized I had to get out of my own way, and three months later, I moved across the state and enrolled at LBCC."
In 2015, he applied for a workshop put on by the LBCC Space Exploration Club, where they designed a scientific payload to fly on board a NASA research rocket. He loved the experience and has been with the club on every project since. He is currently the manager of their upcoming project, where they look to launch a video payload on board a high altitude balloon to capture near-space footage of the solar eclipse scheduled to cross the continental United States later this year.
"He's a good leader, very good at nurturing creativity, and loves when people bring their ideas to the table," said Delphine LeBrun Colon, who has worked with Willmeth in the club since 2015. LeBrun Colon was the Space Exploration Club project manager last year, when the group built an ambitious rocket-borne payload that was designed to measure polarized energy from gamma rays in space.
"I couldn't have led the team without him last year," said LeBrun Colon, who praised Willmeth's contributions to the project last year.
Willmeth is committed to the club and is always looking for new ways to improve. Several members of the club admire his work ethic.
"I wish I had his blood pressure. He's so calm and collected, always on task and he's a great role model to other students," said Space Exploration Club adviser Parker Swanson.
"If I had to describe him in one word, it would be dedicated," said Space Exploration Club member Evan Schreiber.
"He's always the first one here and the last one to leave," added Seth Newman.
For his internship with NASA, Willmeth will be writing and testing embedded software for orientation control systems on projects like unmanned aircraft systems and satellites. He applied for the internship through NASA's One Stop Shopping Initiative (OSSI), a NASA-wide system that is used for the recruitment, application, selection and development of high school, undergraduate, and graduate students. They hope develop applicants in the various fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
"I would definitely encourage more students interested in a career in aerospace to apply," said Willmeth "It was a little intimidating at first since I didn't come from a big school, but NASA is ultimately looking for people with experience more than anything. These types of opportunities with the club are more valuable to them than any big school background you might have."
Willmeth credits the Space Exploration Club as an integral part for obtaining his internship opportunity.
"My experience with the LBCC Space Club was critical to getting this internship, because I had plenty of real world experience to talk about on my application and during my interviews," said Willmeth. "I feel like a small-town car mechanic who got invited to work on an F1 car."
While Willmeth is excited to get started at his internship, he reflected on his time at LBCC and with the Space Exploration Club.
"I guess I just want to let students know how many opportunities at LBCC there really are and encourage them to take a look at the types of programs that are available."

Blackfish Documentary Exposes Negligence, Corruption in SeaWorld's Quest for Profit
By Martha Sorren, Truthout.org
The film masterfully contrasts footage of captive whales swimming lifelessly around concrete tanks with footage of wild orcas swimming strong and free, their dorsal fins standing tall, instead of flopped over in defeat. Those who watch the moving film are sure to never shell out the $60-plus for a park ticket again, and this may be what activists need to close SeaWorld's doors for good.

In 2011, SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment had a banner year with core earnings topping $380 million. But for decades animal activists have been arguing that this is blood money. Blackfish, a new documentary about the well-known theme park, finally might prove them right.
Directed and produced by Gabriela Cowperthwaite, the film follows the story of Tilikum, a baby orca captured in the open North Atlantic Ocean in 1983. He made headlines in 2010 when he caused the death of senior SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau.
As the documentary leads you through the events leading up to Brancheau's death, it takes the opportunity to look at the larger issue of whale captivity and the wide net of negligence and corruption SeaWorld has cast as it consistently put its animals and staff in danger to make a profit.
Blackfish utilizes interviews from a variety of reputable sources, including former SeaWorld trainers and whale researchers to compile evidence against the marine park.
"The situation with Dawn Brancheau didn't just happen; it's not a singular event," whale researcher Dave Duffus explained. "You have to go back over 20 years to understand this."
John Crowe recalled his whale hunting in 1970 in Puget Sound, Washington, and how haunting the mothers' cries were as he separated the babies from the pod. "I lost it. I just started crying. I just couldn't handle it," he said in the film. "Just like kidnapping a little kid away from her mother. I can't think of anything worse than that. The worst thing that I've ever done is hunt that whale."
Tilikum, affectionately nicknamed Tilly, was captured and separated from his mother when he was only 2. In the wild, orcas never leave their mothers, and some of these pods can have as many as four generations traveling together.
Once captured, Tilikum was purchased by Sealand of the Pacific in Canada and taught to perform tricks for crowds of people. The trainers utilized punishment such as food deprivation to teach him the tricks. When the crowds left at night, he and two other whales were locked in a 20-by-30-foot metal container in complete darkness for 19 hours until the next day's shows began. The physical trauma he suffered, in addition to the emotional distress of being separated from his family and the ocean, took its toll on Tilikum. Ken Balcomb, director of the Center for Whale Research, said this was "not only inhumane, but it probably led to a psychosis. He was on a hair trigger - he'd kill."
In 1991, Tilikum made his first kill after a trainer slipped and fell into the water. Two Sealand patrons witnessed the event and recalled Tilikum's dingy pool-like tank.
"It was an amusement park that was kind of on its last legs, and everything was a bit gray," Corinne Cowell remembered. The sisters watched in horror as trainer Keltie Byrne fell into the pool and tried to escape only to be dragged back in by Tilikum.
"It was the large whale, Tilikum, that went after her. We knew it was that whale because he had the flopped-over fin [that the two female whales didn't have]," said Nadine Kallen.
After the tragic event, Sealand closed - but not before making millions of dollars by selling the whale to SeaWorld. Despite his dangerous past, the park placed the whale in its Orlando, Florida, theme park.
SeaWorld was well-established at this point and also had parks in San Antonio and San Diego.
Former Sealand trainer Christopher Porter remembered thinking that Tilikum would have a better life at SeaWorld, with its highly trained staff, larger pools and what he thought to be vast expertise and knowledge. "So it was like, 'OK, Tilly, you're going to Disneyland. Lucky you,' " Porter said. But that was nothing more than a well-developed PR delusion.
"I always thought you'd need a master's degree in marine biology to be a trainer," said one former trainer. "Come to find out it was really more about personality and how well you could swim."
Samantha Berg, a trainer at the park when Tilikum arrived, said she and the other staff members were not given the full details on Tilikum, nor his hand in Byrne's death.
"I was under the impression that he had nothing to do with her death," she said. But she did notice inconsistencies in what management was saying and how they acted around the whale. "Management seemed to think there was some reason to exercise caution around him. Clearly they knew more than they were telling us." She said, "I believe it's 70-plus, maybe more, just killer whale-trainer accidents. Maybe 30 of them happened prior to me actually being hired at SeaWorld, and I knew about none of them."
As the film progresses, viewers learn not only about Tilikum's hand in trainer tragedies but also the many accidents and deaths other captive orcas have caused. It's worth noting that there is no record of a wild orca ever killing a human.
A lawsuit filed in 2012 against SeaWorld on behalf of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration brought new evidence to light about the inherent dangers of working with these captive whales. Video footage from a 2008 orca attack on senior trainer Ken Peters surfaced and added more fuel to the anti-captivity fire. Blackfish utilizes rare footage from former trainers and footage taken from tourist cameras to paint a complete picture of the dangers of interacting with captive whales that could treat their trainers as toys.
Blackfish also opens up SeaWorld's blatant lying at its parks that it deems "educational."
The documentary consults several whale experts who explain that in the wild, orcas live as long as humans do. But then the video cuts to several SeaWorld employees stating that the captive whales actually live longer than wild whales.
"Because the whales in their pools die young, they like to say that all orcas die at 25-30 years," said Howard Garrett, an orca researcher. "Every other potentially embarrassing fact is twisted and turned and denied one way or another."
It's shocking to watch SeaWorld's misinformation on basic facts such as life expectancy and dorsal collapse. SeaWorld claims orcas' top fins droop about 25 percent of the time, when in reality less than 1 percent of wild orcas experience this affliction. But 100 percent of captive male orcas have collapsed dorsal fins. Blackfish exposes these lies and is sure to discredit SeaWorld's party line that their parks need to stay open because they educate people about these animals.
"I spewed out the party lines during shows; I'm totally mortified now," said former trainer Carol Ray. She recalled telling audiences that their whales preformed tricks because they wanted to, not because they had to. "Like some of the things I said I'm embarrassed by. So embarrassed," Ray said.
Former trainer Dean Gomersall echoed this sentiment: "There's so many things that were told to us that they tell you so many times that you start believing them. I was blind."
"I really bought into what they told us," Samantha Berg said.
In the end, for SeaWorld it came down to preserving the high profits these parks produced - at any cost. SeaWorld is no stranger to not playing by the rules. In 2011, it famously paid nothing in taxes despite a record-breaking year.
Despite repeatedly declining the chance to be interviewed for the film, the marine park is now finally acknowledging Blackfish. In a letter issued to film critics on July 12, 2013, SeaWorld urged them not to believe the film, stating it was "shamefully dishonest, deliberately misleading, and scientifically inaccurate."
The letter went on to say, "As the late scholar and U.S. Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan famously noted: "You are entitled to your opinion. But you are not entitled to your own facts."
But what the movie is able to do is give the facts straight from the mouths of over seven former SeaWorld trainers and many more trainers from parks across the globe.
"The industry has a vested interest in spinning [whale attacks] so that the animals continue to appear like cuddly teddy bears that are completely safe. That sells a lot of Shamu dolls and tickets at the gate," said John Jett, former SeaWorld trainer.
In its attempt to draw film critics' attention away from the film, SeaWorld's letter instead has been shared widely. And interest in the movie has intensified.
"I love the smell of corporate fear in the morning," David Kirby, author of "Death at SeaWorld," commented after SeaWorld released its statement.
Much as the Oscar-winning documentary "The Cove" helped to expose the Japanese dolphin slaughter, Blackfish could be the catalyst for real debate about orca captivity. It puts a lot of evidence in the hands of those arguing against the continued captivity and show performance of these orcas.


Marketers are up against strict deadlines to acquire new customers and often lack the resources to ramp up productivity. Creating content that appeals to global markets adds to the challenge. Here's a quick rundown on using the global gig economy to scale content creation in every market.
Creating content in today's environment is challenging for brand marketers. Attention spans have fallen to 8 seconds, which is less than a goldfish. It's that underlying challenge that puts demand on marketers to scale content creation and keep audiences engaged.
With content production resources not always keeping up with demand, smart marketers are turning to the global freelance economy to fill the gap. Technology now offers marketers easier access to freelancers. Fewer barriers to success have led marketers to see real value in using the freelance to support content creation.
A big factor driving consumer demand for content is mobile activity. The rise of mobile use has seamlessly connected consumers with marketers to make branded content more accessible.
Did you know that last year nearly 4 out of 5 internet users used a mobile device to access the internet? According to Facebook, people spend up to 3 hours per day on their phones and 90% of that time is spent on a handful of social apps.
Constant social app use leads to heavy competition by brands for users attention. Coupled with limited real estate on mobile devices, marketers need both more effective and greater amounts of content to build brand recall and stand out with their content in newsfeeds.
It's no wonder marketers feel overwhelmed trying to keep up with the demand and look to the freelance economy to relieve pressure on in-house creative teams.
Creating visual content that broadly appeals to customers anywhere in the world is a mythical and ineffective tactic. Broad content is really just bland content that ignores the local nuances audiences identify with.
Localized content is more effective than global content. People are more willing to engage with visuals when they show familiar environments and scenarios. Marketers need to factor those desires into their campaign planning. Always consider how the target community will feel about the brand and content.
People's values and perceptions are influenced by culture. Reactions to visual content will depend on the societal values within a given community.
Imagine your brand is a North American leader in packaged foods that is expanding to Europe. Think about your content approach in this scenario. Reusing the visuals for your North American market ignores a lot of details that can help European audiences identify with the content. European markets are used to seeing food depicted in recipes, packaging, and scenarios in ways that differ dramatically from North American expectations.
Local freelancers' knowledge of a community's cultural trends, styles, and environments far outweighs that of a distant in-house creative team. Creative specialists living in those communities share the same inherent values as your target audience. They will already know what imagery to tap into for your campaign.
Marketers need to produce visual content with convincing local elements to get the return on investment they expect. The global freelance economy gives marketers the ability to scale visual content creation by using local talent.
There are millions of people around the world who work as independent creative contractors. In the US approximately 30% of workers classify themselves as freelancers. In the EU15 20% of the workforce classify themselves as independent contractors.

A reflection about hysteria: a modified or abandoned diagnosis?
The present work intends to contribute to a reflection about hysteria, describing a path from the first formulations to the contemporary authors. It aims to depict the historic and conceptual evolution of hysteria, from a clinical syndrome — recognized since the ancient times — to a personality style. The hysteric symptomatology is multifaceted and fugitive and it is affected by cultural and social influences. Probably for this reason a polymorphic picture has been observed, changing across the historical ages and presenting different characteristics depending on cultural frameworks.

In order to assess the phase transition nature in Sr3Ir4Sn13, we have carried out the electrical resistivity, Hall coefficient, Seebeck coefficient, thermal conductivity, specific heat, and 119Sn nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements, mainly focusing on the signatures around the phase transition temperature T*=147 K. The phase transition has been characterized by marked features near T* in all measured physical quantities. In particular, the Hall measurement reveals the abrupt change in both magnitude and sign of the charge carriers below T*, providing strong evidence for the Fermi surface reconstruction associated with this phase transition. Moreover, the NMR observations indicate the presence of the splitting of the resonance lines below T* which could be accounted for by the local distortion of the Sn2 icosahedra within the Pm3̄n phase. The NMR Knight shift analysis further provides microscopic evidence for the reduction in both Sn 5s and Ir 5d electronic states near the Fermi surfaces of Sr3Ir4Sn13. With respect to these observations, it suggests that the strong interplay between electronic and structural instability is responsible for the peculiar phase transition in Sr3Ir4Sn13.

N2 - In order to assess the phase transition nature in Sr3Ir4Sn13, we have carried out the electrical resistivity, Hall coefficient, Seebeck coefficient, thermal conductivity, specific heat, and 119Sn nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements, mainly focusing on the signatures around the phase transition temperature T*=147 K. The phase transition has been characterized by marked features near T* in all measured physical quantities. In particular, the Hall measurement reveals the abrupt change in both magnitude and sign of the charge carriers below T*, providing strong evidence for the Fermi surface reconstruction associated with this phase transition. Moreover, the NMR observations indicate the presence of the splitting of the resonance lines below T* which could be accounted for by the local distortion of the Sn2 icosahedra within the Pm3̄n phase. The NMR Knight shift analysis further provides microscopic evidence for the reduction in both Sn 5s and Ir 5d electronic states near the Fermi surfaces of Sr3Ir4Sn13. With respect to these observations, it suggests that the strong interplay between electronic and structural instability is responsible for the peculiar phase transition in Sr3Ir4Sn13.

Q: NSInputStream's NSStreamEventHasBytesAvailable never gets called I am creating an app similar to WiTap (but to connect many devices) and here is my problem: The application seems to connect the devices (they are displayed in table view controller. The delegate of NSInput/OutputStream says both streams are opened but when I send packet to NSOutputStream than the function on opposite device with NSInputStream doesn't get called (NSStreamEventHasBytesAvailible in - (void)stream:(NSStream *)aStream handleEvent:(NSStreamEvent)eventCode).

I tried to debug the project using Instruments (the network thing). It says packet is send and received but the event never occurs. Thank you for your help. If anyone wants I have no problem sending the whole project ...

Erotic Manias and Disappearing Fathers
Judeo-Christian values and traditional norms promoting integration of love-sex-marriage, modesty, and self-restraint are disappearing with the happy support of school administrations, the psychological counseling establishment, the government, and the legal system that allows erotic love to trump agape, or selfless love. Schools in NYC and elsewhere may not lead students in prayer, but they are allowed to lead students into paths of sexual expression such as ten-minute counseling before sending them for an abortion, lessons on how to put a condom on a cucumber or a banana, and the need to prevent STDs rather than uphold the sex, marriage, and love unity.
Divorce has skyrocketed during the post-WWII years; sexually transmitted disease has become rampant; cohabitation is becoming more popular with each passing year; the porno industry has captured the time, money, and imaginations of tens of millions of men on the internet; and there is a gossip feeding frenzy regarding the immoral habits of celebrities. Pedophilia is being publicly defended as a legitimate activity, and being HIV-positive is something, according to signs on NYC subways, that can be handled by partnering with one's doctor and various city agencies.
In fact, this writer's jaw dropped while waiting for a New York City subway one morning a couple of weeks ago as I saw a large poster adorning the wall of the station showing four smiling, lovely young African-American women announcing a new PrEP medication that would help the users (in this case, presumably, women) not to become HIV-positive by contracting that virus from a bed partner.
This writer learned that the poster that shocked me is one of several different posters promoting the use of a new medication, Truvada, along with condoms, to prevent becoming infected by a partner who already has contracted that virus. The tagline for the ads is "Play Sure," which is a play on the word "pleasure." Yes, pleasure is as important in this public health equation as safety. According to Demetre Daskalakis, an assistant commissioner of the Department of Health's Bureau of HIS/AIDS, this program nicknamed PrEP is "a way of pushing the idea that safe sex leads to more pleasurable sex."
Today, young people have hook-ups. They are like fish that get hooked. Sixty and seventy years ago, it was considered romantic and borderline scandalous to have a couple of kisses and then have romantic fantasies of a life together with the other with the special lips that were the objects of one's attention. Here is a verse from a song from that ancient era by Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong: "You'll never know how many dreams I've dreamed about you / Or just how empty they all seemed without you / So kiss me once, then kiss me twice / Then kiss me once again / It's been a long, long time."
Today, Satchmo's words are considered by millions to be silly, innocent, innocuous, infantile, and unsophisticated. Yes. How can any exciting kiss compare with the high-intensity pleasure of a hook-up? We are turning out millions upon millions of sex-crazed amoral and immoral people, people burning with lust day and night, who think nothing could be more normal. The "new normal" has replaced the "old morality" for vast numbers of people. After writing an article in which I referred to our "sick and sinful society," one of my colleagues, a brilliant and sociable scientist, came to my office to tell me she resented my use of the word "sin." "There is no such thing as sin," she said. I then asked, "What about having sex with animals?" Her answer: "Different strokes for different folks."
For many people, as evidenced by the behavior patterns in our society for the past few decades, the word "morality" is no longer meaningful and is deemed as irrelevant as the word "sin" was for my learned colleague. It is a term used by antiquarians to refer to the mores and ideas of some perceived distant past before the knowledge revolution revealed to a hungry world that any and every form of behavior is normal and right, although the practical need for social order means that certain behaviors need to be controlled and deemed unlawful.
The world of psychology, in its post-Freudian manifestation, believes that it has released the population from its Victorian-era repressions. According to far too many psychologists who desire to drive guilt for non-marital and extra-marital sex out of their clients' psyches, the traditional repressions and unconscious desires were driving the world into untold neuroses even as late as the 1960s. Many educated post-Freudians thus consider it better to express one's libidinous self than to dwell in a puritanical world controlled by the rigid rules of the superego, which they then call "God-given morality." The new, enlightened mindset says balderdash to ancient works like the Holy Bible, both Old and New Testaments. Even the distinction between responsible freedom and license is blurred in the minds and behavior of millions of individuals operating at all intellectual levels.
Of all the horrible amoral and immoral trends, the most striking, in addition to the rejection of over 60 million aborted children, is also the rejection of fatherhood on a vast scale. The goal of erotic pleasure as an end in itself has usurped the desire to perpetuate the human race in its familial bonds. Why can't we see that these two trend lines – taking of the lives of the unborn and at the same time giving birth to vast numbers of infants outside the love-marriage-sex unity – are phenomena that feed and promote each other? This is a twofold rejection of the underpinnings of family life that has reached epidemic proportions.
In 1960, the proportion of births to unmarried women was just 5%, but since 2009, the percentage has been about 40%. In 2013, 72 percent of all births to black women, 66 percent to American Indian or Alaskan native women, and 53 percent to Hispanic women occurred outside marriage, compared with 29 percent for white women and 17 percent for Asian or Pacific Islander women. Although articles tell us there has been a leveling off of births outside marriage, the figures should alarm anyone who loves the idea of family and desires a stable society.
With 40% of the people of the United States being born outside of marriage, increasingly, the Fourth of the Ten Commandments is being abrogated. It is being replaced with "Honor Your Mother" or "Honor Your Role Model and Your Mother." The fathers are vanishing from the parenting equation as the intact family is disintegrating. Respect and love for the unborn and respect and love for fatherhood continue to erode in our erotic culture.

Having an inspector that has a background in construction you can insure that all special details are properly installed. If these details are overlooked the project could be delayed for several weeks or you may not get the house you wanted.
This open hole on the exterior wall was from the relocation of an air conditioning unit. Repairs of these types of holes should be made prior to insulation and drywall to prevent moisture an pests infiltration into the wall cavity.
The roof trusses are required to have metal hangers for support when they are attached to each other. If this was not caught before drywall it may have never been seen again resulting in possible roof failure.
This inspection should be performed after the city inspection but prior to your walk-through with the superintendent. This inspection allows us to visually inspect items that will not be visible once the insulation and drywall are installed. Corrections made at this phase of construction will eliminate future problems.

California proposes new $3 billion in incentives to support electric vehicle adoption
Fred Lambert | Jun 28 2017 - 2:17 pm PT
California is already leading electric vehicle adoption in the US, but they still need to speed things up if they want to achieve their goal of 1.5 million electric vehicles (EVs) by 2025, and 5 million by 2030. There are currently around 300,000 EVs on California roads today.
A new bill unveiled today would unlock $3 billion worth of incentives for an updated version of California's current EV rebate.
Assemblymember Phil Ting (D-San Francisco) introduced Assembly Bill (AB) 1184, which is due for a vote next week.
He commented:
"Electric cars are the future. We have reached a tipping point and it's time to give the electric car revolution an aggressive boost. California's ambitious goals to reduce climate altering emissions require transportation electrification. We need an incentive program to get everyone behind the wheel of an electric vehicle."
California currently offers a rebate after the purchase of plug-in electric or fuel cell vehicles ranging between $1,500 and $5,000 depending on the type of vehicle and the income of the buyer.
The new California Electric Vehicle Initiative (CEVI), which would be created by the AB 1184, would instead offer the incentive directly at the purchase of the vehicle, which would simplify the process.
The actual value of the incentive will also change, but it will still be determined by the Air Resources Board, in coordination with the California Public Utilities Commission and the California Energy Commission.
Ting says that they will structure the amount to be more competitive with similar gas-powered cars:
"They would be valued initially to make the cost of battery-powered vehicles comparable to similar models of gasoline-powered vehicles, after federal and other credits."
Of course, those incentives will be applicable on top of the $7,500 federal tax credit if it is still available on the electric vehicles. A reminder that there is a limit 200,000 federal tax credits by automaker before a phaseout period is put in place.
Ting says that the $3 billion would come from "a portfolio of taxpayer-neutral sources" and that the bill also calls for "investing $500 million per year in cap and trade program funds set aside to ensure that disadvantaged communities, school and transit buses, and freight benefit from the transportation electrification."
When considering Tesla's upcoming expansion in the state in preparation for the Model 3 and VW installing ultra-fast 320 kW chargers as part of its Dieselgate settlement, it looks like California is in good shape to keep its role as a leader in EV adoption in North America.

Trump moving to Florida.
Some say it was to avoid taxes, but New York Governor Cuomo said, "It's not like Mr. Trump paid taxes here anyway. He's all yours, Florida."
https://currently.att.yahoo.com/ente...012304753.html
Florida does not recognize his New York concealed carry permit, but that should not be a problem, as nobody is going to stop and frisk him in Florida.
He can't hide out in Florida while the statute of limitations runs out in New York and elsewhere because the statute of limitations stops ticking when you leave the state of the crime.
He has had a place in FL for a long time. I don't think he needs a carry permit right now.
Jimbo -I think you are right.
There will be no moving vans involved.
This is just a paper transaction, to assure that Trump will carry Florida in the 2020 election as a native son.
He failed to carry his home state of New York in the 2016 election.
I think that's what he means when he says he was treated unfairly.

If he's like any other celebrity he's got house in a lot of states you don't know of.


For years, Intelligence quotient (IQ) has been the measuring criteria of better performances at schools, offices, and home. Things have taken a turn for the better, and the new standard of success at personal and professional level is Emotional Quotient (EQ).
Emotional Intelligence is an awareness of one's own emotions, and an ability to change them to achieve the best results. People with high EQ are compassionate, empathetic, and visionary. They are highly social people who can understand the changing emotions of others'.
Two studies conducted at the University of Vienna showed that connections with dogs could educate people to recognize emotions in themselves and other humans. One of the studies found that those dog trainers who dealt with dog behavior had high EQ level.
CaesersWay has mentioned studies that show that dogs have a variety of emotions, including anger, love, guilt, jealousy, sadness, etc. Dogs are quite expressive about their emotions whatever the situation may be. They bark out for their needs, and know how to convince you. They listen to everyone's woes and worries silently and patiently.
We, as humans, learn that we should bark out our emotions whether it's acceptance of a mistake we had made or a complaint we had with the management. Others can understand us only when we will be expressive about our feelings. Listening takes patience, but it's important when someone is expressive of his emotions. No one likes to be criticized at such moments. This lesson on 'Speaking up and Listening Patiently' enhances relationships of a person.
Situations can be frightening or depressing, but your dog will stick with you in spite of your mood swings and anger. He will listen to your woes in a nonjudgmental manner and will cuddle you through times. Most of the dogs pick the owner's moods, like depression, aggression, happiness, etc. They can read your emotions, and will never laugh when you are crying. Dogs can make you self-aware of your emotions.
Dogs never allow their owners to forget the responsibility of feeding them and playing with them. Small hyperactive dogs require a lot of exercise and are difficult to ignore. They keep asking you until you give in. A dog never gets emotional with your 'rejections' and searches a way out until he gets what he wants.
Dogs are a constant reminder for you to stay realistic during stress and keep trying. Giving in to emotions and forgetting the responsibilities of the world is not a solution.
Only by constant knocks at the door of success can we achieve success, a lesson we all forget in times of distress. Patience and perseverance are essential rules of professional success.
Dogs are pack animals and love to socialize with other animals and people. Even in a stranger's land, when you were on a trip to another city, your dog would have kept interacting with other dogs and people despite the language barrier. You must have noticed that your dog can attract people easily in crowds. So, why do you fear to communicate? Are there any threats?
Dogs teach us to have the courage and take initiatives. Dogs treat everyone equally, despite the place you are living in. They can communicate confidently with anyone at any place. They love to socialize and manage their teams. Such boldness, if developed in us, can help us communicate and socialize easily in spite of language, status, position barriers.
Dogs give us the basic lesson of relationship, i.e., understand before being understood. This philosophy helps us manage our emotions well with different people in our lives. Dogs show unconditional love and acceptance towards you despite your mood swings. Such unconditional love and uncritical acceptance are needed by everyone.
Working as a team, it is required of us as leaders or superiors that we listen to everyone's opinions and have a room for acceptance for mistakes. That unconditional love and support at personal or professional level helps everyone to grow at an exponential rate.
Managing anger and stress by being patient and giving out positive energies enhances the quality of our lives. Authentic expression of emotions, loyalty, and team management can add the extra element of success to our professional lives. Unconditional love and uncritical acceptance adds to our personal life success.

King Tut's Fortune slots is a five-reel, 20-payline slot game. A Bonus Feature game (King Tut's Bonus) and Free Spin games allow you to win more than a normal game. The "King Tut's Fortune" symbol appears on all lines and substitutes for Lady symbol and Ace symbol to make a winning combination.
You can bet on one through 20 lines.
Click on "Paytable" option to view the paylines.
Setting 'BETS': When you enter a game, a default bet of $0.25 per payline is set for all 20 lines, resulting in a total bet of $5. You can choose to increase the bet per line by clicking the up arrow button to the left of 'BET', or you can decrease the bet by clicking the down arrow on the right. If your game balance is less than $5, the system will automatically decrease the default bet to the next highest possible amount. You can further choose to decrease the bet by clicking the down arrow on the right.
Setting 'LINES': Similarly, 20 lines are selected by default. You can decrease the number of lines by clicking on the down arrow button on the right of 'LINES'. The number of lines can be increased again by clicking on the up arrow button on the left of 'LINES'. Selected lines are lit, whilst unselected lines are not shown. If the game balance is not sufficient to place the previous bet on all the selected lines, then system will automatically decrease the number of lines according to the balance.
The number of selected lines is multiplied by the Bet per line. The total Bet amount is displayed under the 'BET' meter, which is found at the top of the game screen.
'PAYTABLE': The paytable can be viewed by clicking on the 'PAYTABLE' button located at the bottom left of the game screen. The prizes displayed in the paytable are per unit bet and are shown as credits. To get the effective payout per line, multiply the respective prize with the bet per line. You can go back to the game by clicking on the 'GAME' button on the paytable screen.
Spin: After the reels stop, any winning combinations on the selected lines, and any scatter wins, will be paid according to the paytable.
Your winnings are shown under 'WIN' at the top of the game window.
Bonus Feature game: King Tut's Bonus Feature game is triggered when three or more images of Scarab or Eagle or the Eye appears anywhere in any combination. The game screen will change and the bonus game screen will open up. The main game screen is restored to its previous state once the bonus game has been completed.
Free Spin games are triggered when Torch symbol appears anywhere on Reel 1 and Reel 5.
Repeat bet/change bet: The default bet for the next spin is the same as the previous one. Click on 'SPIN' to place the same bet again. To change the bets, use the arrow keys on the 'BET' or 'LINES' buttons.
Your current game balance is the sum of the amounts displayed under the 'CREDITS' meter and the 'BET' meter.
Result: Wins are indicated by paylines flashing and the winning symbols animating, with the total win amount being shown at the top of the screen under 'WIN'.
Number of spins: Will spin for the number of spins selected from the drop-down menu.
Spin until win is equal or exceeds: Will spin till the win amount is equal to or exceeds the amount selected from the drop-down menu.
Spin until any win: Will spin till the next win.
Spin until feature trigger or bonus round: Will spin till the next feature or bonus round is triggered.
Spin until my balance exceeds: Spins until the balance is greater than or equal to the amount entered. Your balance is the sum of the amount under 'CREDITS' and the amount under 'BET'.
Spin until my balance falls below: Spins until the balance is less than or equal to the amount entered. Your balance is the sum of the amount under 'CREDITS' and the amount under 'BET'.
Play faster: This will let you play faster than usual by reducing the break time. You must choose at least one of the above mentioned options before selecting the 'PLAY FASTER' option.
Click on the 'AUTOSPIN' button available at the bottom right of the game screen to make use of the autospin feature. Select the checkboxes next to the option(s) you'd like to play with on the screen that opens up. Select from the drop-down menu where applicable. If your current game balance is not sufficient to support your choice, appropriate message will be displayed. Click on 'START' to activate the selected options and start the spins. Click on 'CANCEL' to skip the autospin feature and return to the game screen.
When playing with multiple options or conditions selected, the condition that is satisfied first will take precedence over the others and the remaining selected conditions will be disabled. You can then choose to either select the same set of options again or choose new options and proceed with the game.
If your game balance falls below the last bet placed, the system will automatically decrease the bet amount allowing you to continue playing. If your game balance falls below the minimum allowed bet ($0.01), the 'Buy-in' window will pop up, allowing you to buy credits in from your PartyAccount.
Click on 'GAMELOGS' to view the games you've played.
Click on 'REBUY' to buy more credits to the game from PartyAccount.

Sony Announces 24.81-Megapixel SLR Sensor
Sony Japan has just announced the development of a 35mm film negative-sized 24.81 effective megapixel sensor designed for SLR cameras that can capture up to 6 frames per second (fps).
Written by Richard Baguley
Jan. 29, 2008 – Sony Japan has just announced the development of a 35mm film negative-sized 24.81 effective megapixel sensor designed for SLR cameras that can capture up to 6 frames per second (fps).
Because it is the same size as a 35mm negative, the new unnamed sensor would allow an SLR to capture 24-megapixel images with no lens multiplier factor: the focal length of the lens would be the same as on a 35mm film camera. This is especially important for wide-angle lenses; the multiplier most digital SLRs impose (which is caused by the fact that most image sensors are smaller than a 35mm negative) means wide angle lenses offer a smaller field of view than they do on a conventional film SLR. With an SLR built around this new sensor, the field of view would be the same as on a 35mm film camera.
The sensor can also capture images very quickly; Sony claims it can capture and download 6.3 fps at the full resolution, as much of the circuitry that captures and converts the image ready for processing is built into the chip itself. Most existing digital SLRs can only manage 2 or 3 fps at the full resolution (although some can capture more by lowering the resolution).
The sensor is based on CMOS (Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) technology; some other manufacturers use sensors based on the rival CCD (Charge Coupled Device) technology. Sony did not announce any pricing details for the new sensor, or if any manufacturers have committed to using it yet. Several of the major manufacturers use Sony image Sensors in their SLRs. We would expect to see it in high-end SLRs later this year.

Here it is Redskins/Cowboys week and nary a single shot fired in anger.
If Harvey Martin were alive (gawd rest his soul), he would throw a wreath in here.
C'mon...admit it. This is a week we all circle on the calender.
Om, I have finally figured out what your name refers to.
For the record ... no, this pic does NOT in any way tie into Skeletor's mistifying post above.
This ain't the "Why we'll Beat...." Thread!
They just make me wanna boot scoot!!!
Booze, who the heck do you think you are coming in here and trying to start a fight.
I remember those times...and they are over. Tom vs George...Over the hill gang and all against Doomsday. It's done !
Face it, until the Skins can win more than 1 out of 12 games gainst the Boys...The riveraly won't return.
I don't see it starting this week either.
Thanks for ruining everything, jarv.
I guess I'm a little more concerned about the overall health of our team (not injury wise).
We've got players questioning the coaches, the owner questioning coaches, the head coach questioning (and apparently harboring a grudge against) the owner.
All these things add up to major distractions and I'm concerned that we will not be able to even field a competitive team this Sunday or next for that matter.
I love the Redskins, always have always will, but, I just can't seem to wake the ghosts of old and get overly excited for this game. Maybe if the off field distractions weren't rearing their ugly head once again and I was hopefull like after the Eagles game that this team was learning how to play football and stick with each other I would be more excited about facing Dallas.
Unfortunately the one coach in this league that will prepare his team better than anyone following a loss is going to be on the opposite sideline this week. My only hope is that we get a few luck bounces and play to our potential this week. If that happens, maybe we can turn this thing around. I don't know if I am in the minority here on this board but the future (at least this year) does not look bright. If these types of stories continue to surface about Snyder and Spurrier, we may be looking for another coach next year.
I sincerely hope this is not the case. I believe that SS will succeed in this leage, given time. Hopefully he can find a way to motivate his players and have them show up mentally each week. So far, that has not occurred.
I know what you mean. I think right now you guys just caught us in a "huh?" stage.
I want to win this game...but have trouble getting fired up.
Maybe its because of the Musak in the background.
hmmmmm, the Bee Gees.....How deep is your love?
Can we push this game back a week or two ? The secondary is Washington is kinda beat up now.
You are all listening to the Backstreet Boys and N'Sync.
The Bee Gees are way too intense for you guys.
I couldn't care less about the Cowboys.
Lets just get through this game and live to fight another day.
Please contact local Redskins rep immediately.

As the world's first angle compensation unit for robots, the Schunk AGE-W combines rotational and angular compensation around all three axes. It thus enables a fast and precise handling of parts whose position is not exactly defined.
The Schunk AGE-W combines rotational and angular compensation.
As the experts for clamping technology and gripping systems maintain, the module adds the necessary flexibility to the end-effector during bin picking, for automated loading and unloading of machine tools, and for handling and assembly applications with inaccuracies in the positions of components. As is further explained, grippers and other actuators connected to the robot via the unit can effectively adjust their position to the respective workpiece position without having to record the process in detail via a vision system, and without having to precisely calculate the gripping strategy every time. This saves time in programming and during operation. Around the direction of the X- and Y-axes, compensation lies between 0° and plus/minus 13°, and between 0° and +/- plus/minus 19° around the Z-axis (rotation). An optimum deflecting torque is achieved by individually adjusting the centering force with compressed air. If the unit is switched into its rigid position, the locking reportedly ensures a high centering accuracy of plus/minus 0.09 mm using a proven ball mechanism, and therefore ensures maximum process reliability in subsequent operations. A monitoring of the locking is possible by the use of inductive proximity switches.


I used canvas in Thailand.We can't access to twig film.It shows 404 not found in Thai language.What can I do to watch the film as the module's plan.
You have posted your question in the Canvas Community website where people from around the world come to ask questions about the Canvas LMS (Learning Management System). Unfortunately, the majority of people here in the Community would not have access to your school's instance of Canvas, and so we wouldn't be able to troubleshoot the access to the film you're trying to watch.
Lots of times, when instructors link to films/videos in their classes, the source of those films/videos live on another website that neither your school or Canvas controls (for example, YouTube or Vimeo). So, in those cases, the website where the film/video is hosted on may be down temporarily, or there is a bug on that website. You or your instructor would need to contact technical support for that website to see if they can be of assistance.
I'm sorry that I don't have better news for you, but you may want to use the "Help" button within Canvas to contact your instructor to let him/her know that you're having an issue viewing the film. That way, your instructor is aware and can maybe reach out to technical support where the film/video is hosted.
I wanted to check in with you because we've not heard anything from you since you first posted this question on March 26th. Have you had an opportunity to review the above response I provided the same day? If so, did it help to answer your question? Or, are you still looking for some help with your question? If my reply did answer your question, please go ahead and mark my response as "Correct". However, if you are still looking for some help with your initial question, please post a message below so that members of the Canvas Community can continue to help you. For now, because we've not heard from you and because there hasn't been any new activity for well over a month, I am going to mark your question as "Assumed Answered", but that won't prevent you or others from posting additional questions or comments below. I hope that's okay with you. Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Botox injections are aimed at rejuvenation of the skin and eliminate its minor cosmetic defects.
After falling under the epidermis layer, the drug blocks the nerve endings of the muscles, causing them partially paralyzed, relax and smoothen.
Thus, it is possible to achieve quite good results overall rejuvenation of the face and neck.
The presence of vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows.
Too upturned or Vice versa, sagging eyebrows.
Wrinkles on the bridge of the nose.
Deep wrinkles on the forehead.
Patient age younger than twenty (twenty five) years.
Antibiotics and other drugs that can disrupt blood clotting.
Disorders in the Central nervous system (depression, neurosis, stress).
Acute infectious or respiratory disease.
First, the patient is recommended to pass tests and receive advice from cosmetologist, who will carry out the procedure. The specialist must determine the degree of neglect of wrinkles, appropriate areas for chipping etc.
Further, the date of the procedure.
During the session the patient's skin is thoroughly treated with antiseptic solutions. A place to put the injection point.
Places for injections are cooled with ice and further obezbolivatmi a special gel.
With the help of special hardware devices cosmetologist determines the correct area for needle entry and depth.
After the procedure the skin of the patient is re-processed antimicrobial solutions.
The ability to quickly get rid of wrinkles.
The ability to rejuvenate the face without surgery.
You can get rid of sweating with the help of these injections.
You can remove minor neurologic abnormalities in the skin.
The presence of numerous contraindications and limitations.
The effect lasts only about six months. Then you need to repeat the procedure rejuvenation.
High risk of developing negative complications.
It is impossible to get rid of deep wrinkles.
The drug can cause drowsiness and dizziness.
Intolerance to the active substance of Botox in women can manifest an allergic reaction in the form of coughing, tissue edema, itching and runny nose. This, in turn, will lower the immune status of the pregnant woman.
Due to the fact that during pregnancy a woman's body produces special hormones during this period she will be more susceptible to a variety of negative consequences from entering the preparations. Thus, it is impossible to determine with accuracy the impact and harm of a chemical substance (its effect may be unpredictable).
When you enter injection woman in any case will feel pain and excitement. It can not be transmitted to the child.
The danger of Botox injections to the fetus is not scientifically proven, but not refuted. The reason is that scientists have conducted studies only on animals. The results of these experiments show that the introduction of large doses of Botox had frequent miscarriages and the birth of the fetus with various disabilities and deformities.
As for human studies, the developers of this drug and its analogues I think it's not ethical, and therefore can only estimate the possible consequences of this method of rejuvenation during pregnancy.
In any case, Botox in its composition contains a neurotoxin, which by its nature is a poison. When it arrives in the blood of women, he will still penetrate to the fruit. Further its effect on the unborn child can be the most unpredictable.
Presumably that the drug can adversely affect the nervous system of the baby, its development, and also cardiovascular system.
Botox before pregnancy can be entered. It justifies this by saying that the botulinum toxin contained in this medication, do not have the ability to accumulate in tissue. For this reason, it will not adversely affect the fetus even when planning pregnancy.
As prevention of negative consequences, to introduce Botox is not recommended for a month prior to an upcoming conception.
It is necessary that before conception the health of expectant mothers were not exposed to stress and weakened immunity.
For this reason, before conception a woman is not recommended to be nervous, Smoking and taking alcohol.
In the early stages to introduce Botox is strictly prohibited.
It justifies this by saying that in the first months of pregnancy laid the foundations of the nervous system of the baby, so any impact can negatively displayed on the entire pregnancy.
Moreover, in the 1 trimester of pregnancy every woman is at risk of miscarriage, so from Botox in this period should be abandoned.
Second trimester pregnancy usually proceeds steadily. The child rapidly develops and increases in size.
Enter Botox at this time is undesirable because the 4-7 month of pregnancy, women are allocated specific hormones, so the body may unexpectedly react to the injected substance Botox (it may be shock, Allergy, etc.).
Enter Botox before birth is possible, but it can not be called reasonable. The fact that the introduction of the drug in the last trimester of pregnancy may give rise to premature birth.
Moreover, the woman will need your strength for the birth of the child, which significantly reduced when you enter Botox and the development of negative consequences of the procedure.
For this reason, it is better not to hurry and to postpone such a rejuvenation for a few months.
Doctors do not recommend to introduce Botox while breastfeeding.
The reason is that the substance of this drug may also be displayed, along with breast milk then drink child. Thus, the baby will still receive their «portion» of harmful substances.
Moreover, for the same reason, during lactation woman is strictly forbidden to take any oral drugs and alcoholic drinks.
The best place to inject the Botox injection after 7-8 months after childbirth (if a woman feeds the child breast milk) and 2 years later (if the long feeds the baby's chest).
During this period, the body of a young mother to fully recover, gain strength and be able to move the injection.
The only way a woman can protect yourself and your baby.
The development of inflammation of the skin.
Pain at the site of injections.
The appearance of hemorrhages in the injection zone.
Loss of sensation of the skin.
Paralysis of the muscles in the eye area.
Most beauticians still do not recommend to risk to Botox during pregnancy.
Before the procedure and after it, don't visit the sauna, pool or Solarium.
The first time you encounter unwanted signs as soon as possible to consult a doctor.
During pregnancy it is not necessary to rejuvenate several areas of the face. It is better to do one area of the skin to minimise the dose of the drug.
It is strictly forbidden to take medication for the pain. Better instead to apply to the face cold compresses.
Within two weeks after the procedure, it is desirable to abandon the excessive intake of fluids, spicy and salty foods, as it retains fluid in the body and leads to swelling.
Pregnancy does not mean a complete rejection of the use of cosmetics. In fact, now there are many harmless methods by which a woman can follow for your skin, moisturize and nourish.
One of the best ways is the use of homemade cosmetics that you can prepare yourself. For example, it can be light lotions from frozen chamomile decoction in the form of ice cubes, which you need every day to wipe the face.
You can make face masks from honey, egg yolks (can be used for hair), cucumber and cream.
For deep cleansing you can practice the application of powdered oatmeal with sour cream. This tool will help partially replace the peeling.
To fight wrinkles you can apply a mask starch or gelatin. They are among the most effective folk methods facial rejuvenation.
Injections of Botox during pregnancy for many reasons is dangerous. However, if the woman still does not want to delay the procedure until then, she should definitely consult a gynecologist and to inform the future father of the child.
Yourself to take this decision, not worth it, because it literally depends on the health and development of the child.

Orsted to Build NJ's First OWF
Laxman Pai June 24, 2019
Denmark's Ørsted won New Jersey's first offshore wind solicitation with a 1.1-gigawatt project Ocean Wind, the largest offshore wind project to secure a development deal with a U.S. state to date.
The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) announced in a press note that it has selected Ocean Wind, an offshore wind energy project proposed by Ørsted with support from Public Service Enterprise Group (PSEG), to negotiate a 20-year offshore wind renewable energy credit (OREC) for an offshore wind farm with a capacity of 1,100MW.
Located off the coast of Atlantic City, Ocean Wind will be New Jersey's first large-scale offshore wind farm. Subject to Ørsted's final investment decision, the wind farm is expected to be completed by 2024.
Ørsted will work with Public Service Enterprise Group's (PSEG) non-utility affiliates, which will provide energy management services and potential lease of land for use in the project development and execution phase. PSEG, which serves 2.2 million electricity customers in New Jersey and has a long development partnership with Ørsted, has an option to become an equity investor in the Ocean Wind project.
Ocean Wind will supply more than half a million New Jersey homes with clean power. The project is expected to create over 3,000 direct jobs annually through development and the three-year construction cycle. Ørsted is also proceeding with plans to establish an operations and maintenance (O&M) base in Atlantic City that will provide permanent, high-skilled jobs during the 25+ years lifespan of the sproject.
Martin Neubert, Executive Vice President and CEO of Ørsted Offshore, said: "We're delighted that New Jersey has chosen Ørsted to build the State's first large-scale offshore wind farm. Since Ørsted developed the world's first offshore wind farm in 1991, we have pushed the industry forward to help turn offshore wind into a large-scale and cost-competitive source of clean energy."
"We look forward to delivering Ocean Wind which will be the first offshore wind farm in the US to cross the 1GW mark and will contribute significantly to meeting Governor Murphy's ambitious renewable energy goals," he added.
Thomas Brostrøm, CEO of Ørsted US Offshore Wind and President of Ørsted North America, said: "Today's announcement firmly establishes a fast-growing global industry in New Jersey, which will create jobs and supply chain in the state. Ocean Wind will ensure that the state and its residents not only benefit from clean, renewable power, but that they reap the rewards of being an early mover at scale in the offshore wind industry as it grows in the US."
With today's announcement, Ørsted has secured a US offshore wind build-out portfolio with a total capacity of approx. 2GW to be completed between 2022 to 2024.

Family Loyalty
by Pam Custers | Sep 7, 2017 | Category One
Family loyalty is such a complex thing. Blood is thicker than water. Our family of origin is where we learn the many unwritten rules of how we relate. We can often hit a snag when we form our own families and new rules and loyalties need to be forged. Many years ago I met a woman who felt her marriage was in tatters. It became clear that she had never been accepted by her mother in law and to compound matters her husband, in her eyes, never supported her. She was distraught. She had been married close on thirty years and this feeling of not having her husband's loyalty had coloured her marriage.
Making the emotional transition from family of origin to our partners is a difficult step. When we are able to shift our primary relationship to our partner our ability to make joint decisions that are in the best interest of the new family become less fraught. It is heartening to see how a gentle shift and a release from the guilt of divided loyalties can reduce conflict so rapidly.
I still think of those thirty years that that woman lived in what felt like emotional purgatory and how sad that she left it so long. The emotional transition may not be easy as loyalties run deep. Our respective families of origin are the foundations on top of which we build our own family with its own rules and dynamics. The interesting thing is that in getting our priorities right we do not take anything away from any of the important relationships. They all just seem to fall into place.
