Yesterday's feature at Practical scrappers was using kraft. That was an easy one for me, I love the look of kraft on my layouts and cards, and how it makes the colours of patterned paper just pop. For this layout, I punched out circles from patterned paper scraps; I picked some of them for their summer or beach motives, others just because I liked their colours. I then stitched to the kraft cardstock, and I had a perfect background. As it was a very busy one, I just added the picture with white matting to make it pop a little, and some buttons and letter stickers.
It was a very simple layout to make, but it has quickly become a favourite of mine, just love the way the colours in the circles play with the colours in the photo and give the whole layout a summer fun feel. Want some more kraft inspiration? Visit Practical Scrappers and see the beautiful layouts and cards using kraft that the DT and readers have contributed. See you soon with more projects!
This LO is fabulous!! I LOVE the circles and the way you stitched them on and you are right about the way the colors pop on that kraft paper!

Tunel kolejowy Łupków w Starym Łupkowie – obiekt inżynieryjny na pograniczu Bieszczadów i Beskidu Niskiego, łączący polską i słowacką sieć kolejową. Tunel oddany został do użytku 30 maja 1874 roku.

Budowa tunelu
Budowa Pierwszej Węgiersko-Galicyjskiej Kolei (Erste Ungarisch-Galizische Eisenbahn) łączącej strategiczny obszar Węgier i Galicji – dzisiejszy Budapeszt ze Lwowem przez Przemyśl – została zapoczątkowana już w 1868 r. definitywnym wyborem trasy przez Przesmyk Łupkowski (zamiast Dukielskiego). Prace budowlane rozpoczęto 12 marca 1870 r., a pierwszy odcinek Michalany – Humenné został przekazany do eksploatacji 25 grudnia 1871 r. Następny rok okazał się bardzo nieprzychylny dla budowy tunelu łupkowskiego: najpierw na wiosnę doszło do obsunięcia gruntu, potem prace spowalniała epidemia cholery, a warunki geologiczne wymuszały liczne zmiany całego projektu – zmieniono przekrój tunelu. Linia przez tunel łupkowski została przebudowana na dwutorową w roku 1896.

Skrócono długość tunelu do połowy oraz konieczne okazało się wzmocnienie jego ścian. Do sierpnia 1872 r. został zbudowany odcinek z Humennego aż do tunelu, w grudniu 1872 r. dobudowano trasę od strony północnej z Komańczy do Łupkowa. Ruch pociągów z Węgier w stronę tunelu rozpoczęto 12 czerwca 1873 r., ale na skutek nieukończenia budowy tunelu, przesyłki nadal transportowano za pomocą wozów na galicyjską stronę kolei, do Łupkowa. Finansowe kłopoty spółki spowodowane wspomnianymi komplikacjami spowodowały opóźnienie budowy całej kolei, którą ostatecznie zakończono oddaniem do użytku tunelu łupkowskiego 30 maja 1874 r. Linia była jednotorowa aż do roku 1896, kiedy ułożono w tunelu drugi tor. Długość odcinka między stacjami Medzilaborce i Łupków wynosi 15,613 km, z czego 14,547 km znajduje się na terenie Słowacji, gdzie maksymalne nachylenie wynosi 26‰, a najmniejszy łuk ma po rekonstrukcji promień 250 m (przedtem 200 m). Łupkowski tunel ma 416 m długości (z czego 234 m na terenie Słowacji) z maksymalnym wzniesieniem wynoszącym 22‰, po polskiej stronie nachylenie wynosi 24‰, a po dalszych ok. 400 metrach za granicą linia opada spadkiem o wartości 18‰ do pobliskiej stacji Łupków. Najwyżej położony punkt tunelu u jego podstawy znajduje się przy wlocie od strony Polski na wysokości 627 m n.p.m. i ulega obniżeniu w stronę Słowacji. Najwyżej położony punkt linii kolejowej przebiegającej przez tunel znajduje się ok. 80 m przed wlotem do tunelu od strony Polski na wysokości 630 m n.p.m. Od tego miejsca tory ulegają obniżeniu zarówno w stronę stacji Łupków, jak i w stronę Słowacji.

Zniszczony podczas działań wojennych 1944-1945 tunel został odbudowany w 1947.

Ruch pociągów
Obecnie przez tunel kursuje pociąg relacji Rzeszów-Medzilaborce.

Tailor your workouts to your physique for the results you want.
The human body can be broken into three distinct body types: ectomorphs, endomorphs, and mesomorphs. Everyone falls into one of these three categories.
Your body type is the hand you were dealt—what you do with it is completely up to you. Some were born lean, some were born thicker, but all were born with the ability to shape their body.
Genetics determines what type of body we have, but don't let genetics have the final say. And to be fair, these "categories" are more like guidelines than they are hard-and-fast definitions. Very few people are "true ectomorphs," for example, and there are a host of other physical factors—natural resting metabolism, for example—that will define a person's body composition (fat-to-muscle ratio) and ability to change.
The same kind of training will not work for every body type. Just as different trees require differing amounts of water and sunlight, differing body types require different stimuli in different amounts. No one program can effectively train all three body types. Some people need lower reps, and more rest, while others need higher reps and shorter rest periods. It all depends on you and your body.
Ectomorph: These are your run-of-the-mill "skinny guys." Ectomorphs have small frames, small shoulders, flat chests, and very lean frames. They are your classic "hardgainer" and find it difficult to put on mass.
Mesomorph: These are your naturally "athletic" looking dudes. Mesomorphs have broad shoulders, lots of muscle mass, and are relatively lean and gain muscle easily.
Endomorph: Endomorphs are generally short and round. The have a slow metabolism and generally find it hard to shed fat. They gain weight easily, unfortunately, this comes in the form of fat more often than not.
Ectomorphs need big, compound movements as their bread and butter. High rep work is best. Because of the higher percentage of slow-twitch muscle fiber, the ectomorph can do more reps at relative intensities than other body types. Longer rest periods between sets (3-5 minutes). More frequent workouts. Because they recover faster, the ectomorph needs to work out more than the other body types. Ectomorphs can even get away with 3-4 full-body workouts a week. Ectomorphs should avoid cardio and pay VERY close attention to their diet.
Eat, eat, eat… then eat some more!
Mesomorphs are typically considered the "ideal" body structure for bodybuilding, but even if you're not born with this build, you can certainly hone it in the gym. Depending on your goals, lots of different training methods will help you see results.
Compound movements should be the base of your training. Isolation movements will help to bring up any lagging body parts. Utilize different training methodologies: high-intensity, low-intensity, high-volume, low-volume, explosive reps, tempo sets, short rest intervals, long rest intervals.
Working out three to four days a week should suffice. Break up your workouts to focus on certain body parts each day. For example: Bench, chest, shoulders on Monday; quads, hamstrings, and glutes on Tuesday, etc. Mix in some cardio (or circuit training) to keep off any fat. Mesomorphs gain muscle quickly but also have a propensity to gain fat.
Compound movements are the base for an endomorph's program. Circuit training is ideal for endomorphs. Pick three to five exercises and go through each one with no rest between exercises. Rest two minutes between circuits. HIIT is very important to aid in fat loss. Diet is crucial to the endomorph—minimize the carbs, and choose fats wisely.
No matter what body type you have now, with a little planning and a whole lot of hard work, you can create the body you want.

Weekly News in Cannabis - February 15th
George Mouratidis | February 15, 2019
With an operational government, HR420 is introduced, Canada begins importing from Colombia, and Greece looks to capitalize on hemp. Read this week's top cannabis headlines!
George Mouratidis George Mouratidis works as a full-time copywriter and journalist. He is the founder of WeedCopywriter.com, a bespoke content writing agency for the cannabis industry. George is a regular editor for many industry publications, as well as…
"420" Bill to Federally Legalize Cannabis Officially Introduced
Federal Bill 420, introduced by Oregon's Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden on Friday, sets the basis for cannabis legalization and tax regulation similarly to alcohol. The Bill along with Wyden's Regulation and Marijuana Act is a recent addition to a legislative package H.R. 420, introduced last month by Oregon Democrat Rep. Earl Blumenauer.
The Bill package aims to reform existing cannabis policies. Among other measures, is the Responsibly Addressing the Marijuana Policy Gap Act and the Small Business Tax Equity Act. The first is set to stop civil asset forfeiture as well as federal criminal penalties for State law complying businesses and individuals.
Moreover, it is set to delete some marijuana convictions, eliminating part of the collateral damage caused during the "War on Drugs." Finally, the second Act, on Small Business Tax Equity, is set to repeal tax provisions depriving cannabis-related businesses of the right to tax deductions that companies in other industries use.
New Bill to Allow Cannabis Businesses to Open Bank Accounts
A new bill was introduced on Wednesday by Congressional Democrats aiming to reform regulations regarding cannabis industries and financial institutions, specifically violations on drug laws and federal money laundering. Although already 33 States have legalized cannabis for medical and/or recreational use, the substance remains prohibited on a national level, complicating the regulation and of cannabis businesses, who are unable to open bank accounts under the existing legislation.
In the hearing on February 13th the House Financial Services Committee, participated with a subcommittee led by Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA). Nonetheless, as the Democrats are the majority in the House of Representatives, and their priorities include reforming laws on federal marijuana, it is quite certain according to Marijuana Moment, that the marijuana banking Bill is set to a full committee vote. The issue first addressed six years ago by the House Democrats, was turned down several times by the GOP.
First Ever Export of Colombian Medical Cannabis to Ship to Canada
A Colombian marijuana company is authorized to export cannabis products to Canada for scientific purposes legally. The move indicates that Colombian grown cannabis is of "top quality." Ecomedics S.A.S., operating as Clever Leaves and backed by the investment firm Northern Swan, based in the U.S., is already set with the necessary approvals. While the shipping is going to take place in mid-February, the results are set for March.
CEO of Clever Leaves, Andres Fajardo, reported to Marijuana Business Daily: "Natural conditions in Colombia paired with a professional team is the key." He also added that the tests might reveal possibilities to achieve the same cannabis quality in Colombia as in Canada, yet with lower costs. A news release indicates that Clever Leaves has obtained six authorizations by Health Canada, to ship dry cannabis flowers for research purposes, covering six plant variants (chemovars) that have distinct chemical compositions.
Despite Revenue Increase, Aurora Cannabis Loses Over $230M in Q2
Although cannabis sales by weight had a six-fold increase, and net revenues reached $54.2 million, Aurora Cannabis Inc., an Edmonton-based company lost $237.7 million at the end of the first half of its fiscal year. It's average dried cannabis net price was $6.23 per gram and for cannabis extracts $10 per gram.
The company says that the previous year its profit per share reached $7.7 million, that is two cents per share. While Thomson Reuters Eikon analyst polls showed that Aurora was to lose six cents per share, specifically $62.05 million, this year's loss, that can be attributed to common shareholders, was equal to 25 cents per diluted share.
In the meantime, net revenues increased from $11.7 million within the 2017's second quarter. The increase led by $21.6 million consumer sales in Canada after the legalization of recreational cannabis in October and medical marijuana sales of $26 million both Canadian and International.
Hemp Money to Revitalize the Stagnant Greek Economy
New laws legalizing the production of industrial cannabis and its use for medical purposes have created new business ambitions in Greece. The country had already started the legalization process in 2016 when a joint decision of the Ministry of Finance and Health legalized the cultivation and production of industrial cannabis. In late 2018 private companies were granted licenses for medicinal marijuana growing. The Ministry of Economy and Development announced that they would issue another twelve permits by the end of this year.
The licenses given to BIOPROCANN S.A., a Corinth-based company and BIOMECANN S.A. from Larissa, are expected to generate 117 jobs, while the two investments reach € 22 million ($26 million). According to government officials, the licenses to be issued by the end of 2019 are expected to create approximately 770 jobs and €185 million ($214 million) in capital investment.

This study explores to what extent the SCAMPER (Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to another use, Eliminate, and Rearrange) technique combined with animal adaptation ideas learned through form and function analogy activities can help fourth graders generate creative ideas while augmenting their inventiveness. The sample consisted of 24 fourth grade students (14 female, 10 male) ages 9-10 at a suburban Midwestern elementary school. A repeated-measures design involving all participants alternately in the two conditions measured students under each treatment condition. In the experimental condition, students used SCAMPER charts with animal adaptation ideas to generate ideas to improve a product using limited materials; in the control condition, they used simple SCAMPER charts to improve a product with limited materials. A scoring rubric was designed to assess the utilization of the SCAMPER chart and students' inventiveness. Paired t-tests were used to compare each student's average score in the control condition to the experimental condition. Students' inventiveness scores showed a statistically significant difference with a p-value of .003. The resulting Cohen's d was 0.64, a medium effect size, favoring the experimental condition. In contrast, student scores for completing the two types of SCAMPER charts favored the simpler control condition's chart. However, student products completed under the experimental condition showed more complexity and originality. Although the new technique was challenging, given the limited number of classes spread over a two-week period, the lessons promoted student engagement, creative thinking, and ability to recall content knowledge related to animal form and function.

Ammunition Permits Mean We Need More Patriots and Less Politicians
John Dempsey
Source: AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli
The topic of guns foments emotions on both sides of the firearm argument - whether the person is for weapons or against them. An issue often discussed in the political arena is whether the government can require a permit for citizens to carry a firearm. Some say that the Second Amendment is the only permit that citizens need to possess weapons, and others want the amendment abolished. As a country, we are already overregulated in the firearm arena, and now at least one politician who calls himself a republican intends to require a permit for ammunition.
Pennsylvania State Representative Thomas Murt (R) represents parts of Montgomery and Philadelphia Counties and is pushing the ammunition permit requirement for the state of Pennsylvania. Murt's biography on his website talks about his time in the Army Reserve from 1990-2008, where he deployed in 2003 to Tikrit, Iraq. His service in the military is appreciated as it should be, but that does not mean he has the right to push for a permit that will require legal, law-abiding citizens to get licenses to purchase firearm ammunition.
He fought for the right to bear firearms, but not to restrict them or the munitions.
Our Second Amendment is the most valuable piece of writing in the United States of America. It is the one thing that keeps a tyrannical government at bay. The Constitution is not a "living and breathing document" as Democrats claim. The original composers lived in a time when they were able to break free from the grasp of The Crown of England. Government intrusion and regulation were genuine to them. Washington, Madison, Jefferson, Franklin, and all of the others would not write a document that is the basis of our laws to fall back into government overreach and oppression.
We live in a time where the Democratic Party has become less and less for the rights of individuals and more about extending the reach of governmental control into the personal lives of citizens. Obamacare is the most obvious example. When the government begins to take hold of healthcare, individuals are the victims – not the "evil healthcare industry."
Politicians who support gun control or ammunition permits are not patriotic and do not care about the safety and well-being of the citizens. An elected official, no matter whether local or national, who pushes the regulation of ammunition is a tyrant, regardless of their political party.
Murt's ammunition permit proposal is a perfect example of the frog that boils itself and never realizes it. As the story goes, a frog is placed in cold water and does not jump out because it is comfortable. Over time, the chef slowly increased the temperature. The reptile is a cold-blooded creature and eventually cooks and is never the wiser. If politicians like Murt are allowed to get a permit today, there will be regulations on how many rounds we can buy tomorrow.
The ultimate goal in regulating munitions is to eventually cause firearms to be worthless – a win for anti-firearm groups and those who detest the Second Amendment.
Washington, D.C. was a bastion of freedom and liberty during a time in our nation's history, but that is no longer the case. Now, there are elected officials who do not care about individual rights and freedoms associated with the Constitution. Congress has become a destination for power, pocket lining, and a way to change the American dream to what a group of politicians – Democrat or Republican – believe America should be, not originally intended.
Murt's service to America in the form of military service is appreciated. However, his service as a politician is disappointing. He is trying to backdoor the Second Amendment under the guise of "public health." There is nothing unhealthy about law-abiding citizens who exercise their Second Amendment right to own and bear firearms. He is trying to make the most precious amendment we have null and void.
The idea of requiring law obeying citizens to get a permit for munitions is tyrannical. Murt is a perfect example of researching a politician and his voting record, if available, before going to the ballot box.
It does not matter what political party one belongs in regards to our God-given rights. You are one of two things: a patriot, or a tyrant.
John Dempsey is a graduate of American Military University and has a deep understanding of law enforcement issues and how they relate to the Constitution, society and our culture. He's been published in BearingArms.com and AmericanThinker.com. He can be followed on Twitter @John_Demp83.

There was a church at Wembdon by the late 12th century. In 1284 William Testard, Lord of Wembdon Manor granted permission for St. Georges Church. Originally comprising of a north and south aisle, chancel and nave with four bays, the west tower was added during the 14th century. In the 15th century a rood screen, a loft, font and stair tower were added. By the 17th century the nave was decorated with murals.
The church was badly damaged by a fire which destroyed the nave roof in March 1868. Sadly the certificate for fire insurance had expired but the church was rebuilt thanks to significant local aid.
St. Georges Church is a lively Anglican church. All are welcome to any of their services – whether you are a committed Christian, new in the faith or 'just looking'.
They meet at 10.30am and 6.30pm every Sunday as well as midweek in smaller groups. For more information about the services and the church community click here.

'The Trials of Portnoy' by Patrick Mullins
By Sean O'Beirne
The finely detailed story of the legal fight in Australia against the censorship of Philip Roth's 'Portnoy's Complaint'
When Philip Roth's novel Portnoy's Complaint was first published in the United States in 1969, it really did, as they say, "cause a sensation". After just one week it was a nationwide bestseller, and The New York Timesdescribed it as "potentially monumental in effect". This was because the book – told in the form of a long confession to a psychoanalyst – let loose a near-incredible amount of exuberant and anguished truth about sex. Poor Alexander Portnoy longs to get away from the rules and restrictions, the orthodoxies, that They – family, community, religion – always try to make about sex, or about anything. But as soon as he tries to take more pleasure, he finds it horribly hard to keep enough control over himself, and feels a desperate need to go back, to be with the family, the community, again. ("Dignity! Health! Love! Industry! … What the hell do I care about sensational sex?") And Roth delivered all this complaint, this sad and comic permanent human trouble, in a language that was sometimes like what you'd ordinarily get in a novel, and sometimes in language that was the opposite. ("Doctor … they all have cunts! Cunts—for fucking!")
And you may well imagine what happened when a load of that landed in Australia, at a time when culture in this country was still controlled by old, conservative Protestant and Catholic "family men". Patrick Mullins' new book, The Trials of Portnoy (Scribe), tells the true story of how Portnoy's Complaint was declared illegal throughout the Commonwealth, and how, eventually, it became a book we were allowed to own and read. Mullins is shrewd about the whole long history of Australian over-censorship, and why we, predominantly a group of white Britons down the bottom of Asia, were so obsessed with staying "clean", and so frightened of losing social and sexual control. (We ran an embarrassingly strict system, banning everything from Balzac's novels to The Catcher in the Rye.) But Mullins also shows how we started to say, more and more: please, let literature free. Let us have it. Let literature be a way to properly recognise what is always in the human, any human.
By the end of 1970, Portnoy's Complaint was banned in almost every state, and, at long last, quite large parts of the Australian business and professional establishment had had enough. Mullins tells exactly how Penguin Australia made a secret plan to print the book, get it to booksellers and out on sale, before the vice squads even knew what was happening. And, in a series of particularly well-researched, finely detailed chapters, Mullins takes us into the courtrooms in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and Tasmania, where one thunderous prosecutor after another fought and fought to keep Roth's book forbidden. Mullins brings off the job of keeping enough suspense in a story where you know what the end is going to be. The real treat of The Trials of Portnoy though, is to see how many people were willing to stand up in court and make the always difficult argument for literature. The defendants at the Portnoy trials argued that the book should be permitted because it had "literary merit": it wasn't good, or needed, just because it told a bunch about sex, but because it also told enough of what can be frightening, even tragic, in pleasure. Fifty years later, in a very different world, a world of trolls and memes, fake news and Pornhub, we need every chance we can get to think again about pleasure, and restraint; what literature does; what good culture is, and isn't. The unexpected lesson of the fight for Portnoy, and of this book, is that all those trials were as much an argument for self-control, self-examination, as they were for any kind of freedom.

Q: How I can wait till a next task starts? Program processes file, which is pretty small at first, finds some result and creates a new file to process. After a while the number of files increases rapidly.
I would like to process all files using QThreadPool. Can someone advise how I should make it or fix my idea?
I've decided to process each file in QThread and to send results and a new job with signals. Also, in the end of the run() function, it emits signal taskDone which is connected with slot startNewTask and it starts new QThread if there is some file to process and QThreadPool::globalInstance()->activeThreadCount()<MAX_THREAD_COUNT. At the beginning I call a function start which calls startNewTask and waits for the completion of all threads (QThreadPool::globalInstance()->waitForDone();). And here there is a problem: the signal taskDone was emitted but the function start has finished and the slot startNewTask has not been called.
How I should wait till the slot starts?

Gators target tight ends in opening win
Graham Hall
Florida tight end Lucas Krull celebrates his first-down catch Saturday against Charleston Southern at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. [Lauren Bacho/Gainesville Sun]
Florida coach Dan Mullen hasn't wavered when asked about the role the tight ends will have in the offense.
The first half of Saturday's 53-6 win over Charleston Southern featured Mullen's offense firing on all cylinders, albeit against a FCS opponent rather than an SEC power, and that meant the Gators looked to get the tight ends involved early and often.
After recording just 26 receptions among three tight ends a season ago, Florida quarterbacks Feleipe Franks and Kyle Trask combined to target tight ends on six of UF's 27 pass attempts on the night, with redshirt freshman Kemore Gamble and redshirt sophomore Lucas Krull each hauling in a pair. The other two passes, intended for redshirt seniors C'yontai Lewis and R.J. Raymond, fell incomplete, but it was clear Mullen intended to stay true to his word.
"It's a position (where) we have three senior tight ends. We have some big, young guys. Tight ends are going to be a huge part of our offense, we have some depth at that position," Mullen said after the game. "We want to continue to see those guys improve because they're going to be a big part of our offense."
The 6-foot-6, 255-pound Krull concurred that he needs to continue learning the fundamentals of playing tight end at the SEC level after spending the past two years away from the game while pitching at Arkansas and then at the junior college level.
"It's been awesome. It's been a transition for sure, but it's been a great transition. I'm getting better every day," Krull said. "When I played in high school, I never really put my hand down. I was always more of a receiver type. So, really getting my hand down and learning the fundamentals of blocking and staying low and keeping the low pad level, because I'm so tall — that's really been the biggest challenge for me."
Regardless of where he's at from a progression standpoint, Saturday featured Krull's talents on full display.
Before finding Tyrie Cleveland on a re-creation of Tim Tebow's iconic one-yard "jump pass" to former UF tight end Tate Casey, Franks found Krull open on back-to-back receptions. After hitting Krull on a three-yard screen, Franks found Krull open for 33 yards to set up Cleveland's touchdown and give UF a 31-0 lead midway through the second quarter.
"Good route by Lucas. We had called that play a couple times and I think it was just a good executed route by Lucas," Franks said of Krull's 33-yard snag. "He got past the flat defender not too far to where the corner could fall off and get in the way, so it was a good route by him and good catch, and good receiving yards after the catch as well."
Florida's hoping it's a sign of things to come for Krull, who just two months ago was wrapping up a baseball career in junior college.
Now that the first and second receptions are accounted for, Krull can focus on the task at hand: improving his fundamentals to become an all-around contributor.
"I was just excited. My heart was racing, because I was ready to go," Krull said of Saturday's debut. "I was sitting on the sidelines jumping up, jumping down, because it was the first time in The Swamp with all those people, and it was just an adrenaline rush I had never had before."

Here's to the new GATORS! stay out of trouble. Build on this win. Listen to your coaches. They are going to put you in a position to execute plays. You have to execute. That will result in wins. You guys looked like Gators last weekend. Thank you coaches for that victory. Thank you players for playing like champions.

They did look good, but I want to see them against SEC teams. If Franks can play with the poise that he did last Saturday, then I think we are as good as anybody in College football. Franks looked in control and didn't try to force a whole lot. The O-line did its job and like I stated before – I feel our defense will be a top tier defense this year. One game at a time and gradually I will get my hopes up to the point that we have all become accustomed to for the last 25 years. GO GATORS!!!

Krull looks to be a future stud TE for the Gators. Lewis looks to be the same kind of TE that drops most of the passes thrown to him, and I saw him clearly miss key blocks on running plays as well, one where he broke off one defender that was keying on Davis running the ball and went for another defender being already blocked by an OL. The decision resulted in Davis being stopped for a very short gain instead of making a big gain if Lewis had blocked on key. Nothing much has changed, it seems, with Lewis from last year. And you have to love the effort that Raymond provides, but Krull easily makes that down the middle catch that Raymond had to go up for and then dropped in the game. I just envisioned the 6'6″ Krull going up for that ball thrown perfectly by Franks. And, OMG, the improvement is Franks is simply amazing. I just pray that what we saw in Franks in this game carries over big next weekend vs. Kentucky. And, please, more of Raymond and Krull vs. Kentucky and less of Lewis on passing downs. Go Gators.

The offensive line really not getting a push and owning the LOS against an fcs Charleston southern is a bit concerning scarlett should have had holes big enough to drive Schwarzenegger's hummer through.
There is definitely room for improvement after the Kentucky game we will know more about this O Line
Steve W September 3, 2018 At 3:17 pm
More Krull, please.
And more Dameon Pierce.

Crush! Krull! Destroy!!!!
Krull has descended on the SEC and brings about the destruction of all he surveys!!!!!
Mullen said this back in the spring– Defenses will have to defend every inch of the field from sideline to sideline and line of scrimmage to end zone– we will get guys open, find guys open, they will not be able to ignore anyone as every skill player on the field is a threat and an option. Defensive coordinators are actually going to have to work the week they face us unlike last year when we were considered an off week due to Suckmiser and Lady Shark Lothario being total idiots who thought they could win by running the same three plays over and over again (this suddenly known as the "too complex" offense).
I am not worried about the running game issues in the first half. We will do better against Kentucky. You'll see.

Liquidity risk has been studied for a long time. Gap analysis, for example, goes back more than 50 years. Many different ratios and indices have also been used in time, without any of them having been set as an industry standard. Liquidity is one of the most difficult risks to measure because of its complexity. Almost three years ago, in December 2009, the Basel III international framework for liquidity risk measurement was introduced, including new liquidity and leverage ratios meant to become standard benchmarks. Although during this period much of the implied disaggregation has been completed by banks and regulators of many countries, there is still a long way to go, and many problems yet to solve.
The inclusion of two new liquidity ratios within Basel III has been the cause of some criticism, that ranges from arguing that banks are the natural transformation agents of terms and that liquidity gaps cannot be fully matched, to questioning the credit constrains that these measures could imply, or the economic impact of making long-term financing more difficult to concede, and rising the price of it. This might increase capital requirements, and restrict loans to some economic sectors, changing the role that banks play in the economy and passing some of the risks they take on to their respective nations.
The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) is designed to ensure banks have enough high-quality, liquid assets to survive a 30-day period under stressed conditions. This ratio is scheduled to be computed with a regulatory minimum level in 2015. The main difficulty has been to reach a consensus on what is liquid and to what extent. Very specific and disaggregated information about incoming and outgoing flows of cash is required to compute this new ratio, forcing banks to implement new processes and costly systems. The possible sanctions for those banks that cannot or will not meet the requirements are up for discussion soon.
There are two categories of liquid assets, Level 1 and Level 2 assets, which qualify for the numerator of the ratio. Despite concerns that the definition of liquid assets, even including the new Level 2 category, was overly restrictive and may create unintended risks as a result of the market effects of demand for qualifying assets, and resulting asset concentrations, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) has not made significant changes to the types of assets that qualify. There is little evidence that the BCBS has taken either market-focused comments or the current discussions about government bond markets into account. The BCBS has also addressed the concern about banks holding a heavy concentration of these narrowly defined liquid assets; moreover, it has stipulated additional criteria that may narrow applicable assets.
The second liquidity measure proposed by Basel III is the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR), scheduled for January 2018, meant to eliminate mismatches between funding and lending by establishing a minimum acceptable amount of stable funding based on the liquidity characteristics of a firm's assets and activities over a one-year horizon. This latter quotient is some distance away from being ready for implementation. It is defined as the available amount of stable funding divided by the required amount of stable funding, with a mandatory minimum of one. Some illiquidity factors, or risk weights, are assigned to each asset type, with those assets deemed to be more liquid receiving a lower factor and therefore requiring less stable funding.
Some preliminary considerations have already been made to assign these weights or factors, some of them are hypothesis that make sense to regulators but that have not been fully tested. For example, the assumption that clients of the banks will bring more stable deposits the more tied they are with the financial institution, measured in the number of products that they use, is an unfounded conclusion since these clients do not necessarily leave their funds for larger periods of time.
The same goes for supposing that the lower interest rate paid in the deposits, the longer they last. More in-depth studies have yet to be made, based on statistically well proven arguments. For example, just looking at the series of differences of portfolio balances at two established periods of time (for example one year apart) helps to see the largest decrements and simply, to count the number of days that the deposits have not been smaller than some thresholds. Something a little bit more elaborate would be to adjust a probability density to these series, useful to estimate the maximum reasonable loss of resources, and also, a small quantity of these densities would be a better basis for estimating the illiquidity factors of each portfolio.
Since the appearance of the liquidity proposals, the Basel committee has applied studies called Quantitative Impact Studies (QIS), with evolving weights or factors that have shown that too many banks in the world are still far away from reaching the required liquidity levels. These factors still have to be refined in time.
Better liquidity undoubtedly can make a bank last longer in times of trouble, but enhancing the liquidity of banks might only make them slightly stronger at a high cost, not enough to resist the mayor liquidity problems produced by macroeconomic disturbances.
Having to match gaps between assets and liabilities tends to be expensive, because issuing long-term debt is costly, and the worst is that the increase in price would probably become permanent. The new regulations will increase capital requirements and drive up capital as well as liquidity costs increasing pressure on banks. Generally, banks will experience increased pressure on their Return on Equity (RoE) due to increased capital and liquidity costs, and higher Risk Weighted Assets (RWA). Some banks might find ways to increase their efficiency and profitability, but others won't, and if their profitability goes too low there would be no interest in running them or they would need to increase their credit prices, becoming less competent or closing with them opportunities for many companies and countries, with no guarantee that those measures would at the end benefit the financial systems.
Trying to protect banks and their financial systems from the consequences of illiquidity sounds reasonable, but this has to be done carefully and taking into account some practical considerations like seeing that normal fluctuations in liquidity to some extent do not need to be hedged because natural systematic corrections happen. Not doing so might cause some undesirable economic impacts and produce more illiquidity problems by themselves.
The potential impact of Basel III on the banking system is significant, so BCBS and regulators of countries around the world have to be very cautious in setting these new rules, based on well-tested arguments, that allow a balance between stronger financial systems and reasonable profitable banking institutions able to provide the services that society needs.


Food is something that should be taken by very living being to ensure that life has been sustained. Eating together is one of the best examples that show how food has actually managed to enhance social relations between different peoples. Nevertheless, even though food may be one of the most essential needs, there are some people who are unable to afford it. One of the things that has greatly encouraged hunger is poverty. In addition, there are other communities which are not able to practice farming due to various conflicts that are experienced between clans. Unfortunately, most of the people who are suffering from poverty spend most of their money on food, and this is one of the things that may actually prevent them from having an ability to provide for their loved ones with other important requirements. This therefore prevents them from having an ability to meet the long term goals such as provision of education for their little children. Therefore, since there is nothing better for the children to do while they are at home, they end up wasting on a lot of time. Some of them are also made to take care of cattle and sheep while the more fortunate ones have left for school. it is heartbreaking that when these people are stroke by a calamity, they may go for days without food. There are some of the major problems that are usually faced on these counties. Luckily, various programs have been developed to ensure that all the people who are suffering from hunger have been provided with the necessary assistance. Besides provision of food, the importance of these programs is that they are actually aimed at ensuring that these people have been provided with various requirements.
Plexus Worldwide is among the programs that are aimed at ensuring that these people have been provided with assistance. Plexus provides with feeding programs for the children. The programs follow various steps to ensure that they are actually able to achieve this. Different measures and approaches have also been implemented by these organizations to ensure that not only have starving people been provided with food, but that they are also able to access balanced meals. Among the things that have encouraged hunger in most countries, change in climate is ranked to be among the ones that have had the worst effect on various areas. Another challenge that is faced by the organizations is lack of better roads. The people who are also suffering from hunger also luck better ways of storing food. Threfore, these organizations also ensure that the people have been provided with better storage facilities.

Not only that, it is protecting the fragile ocular surface from exposure as well as damage from the environment and even the blinking action of eyelids. The scleral lens comfort is not actually a problem and correcting vision using highly oxygen permeable materials in fluid filled reservoir is outstanding.
Whether you believe it or not, scleral lenss are great and also, a life changing technology for offering healthy all day clear vision and healing sick eyes to those who are suffering from ocular conditions and other related diseases. Due to the reason that these lenses are vaulted over cornea, they're great option for corneal dystrophies as well as degenerations, corneal conditions that's diminishing vision like keratoconus, post surgical complications, pellucid marginal degeneration, corneal scars and chronic dry eyes.
In reality, there are already several patients who are now experiencing low quality vision after having refractive surgeries like Radial Keratotomy and LASIK surgery. When you make use of scleral lenses however, you can be certain that it can give you ocular comfort and of course, restore your vision's quality and clarity.
Due to the reason that the lenses are vaulted over the cornea and not touching the corneal surface when fitted properly, these lenses can heal the compromised tissues surrounding the cornea.

Thank you for all of your good wishes on the changes about to happen for me in 2012. Like anything that is a little different it is very scary and I keep second guessing myself but I have to keep reminding myself that it is for the best long term. Slowly as the weeks pass I will reveal a bit more as each page of our new book opens. I would tell you now but I just don't want to jinx myself. I am taking baby steps before I take the giant leap.
I am going to have to think outside the square in all aspects of my life including in my designs which will need to adapt a little. I am currently paper piecing a new project in colours that are not my usual choices but my style is still very evident. It is a slow process and I just do a little each evening. Hopefully I will have more to show you really soon.
So what have you got planned for the weekend? My plans include sorting some fabric and making some more of these wax tarts. I burn these in my oil burner to make the house smell delicious and homely but I also store them in little organza bags and hide them amongst my fabric. All of my stash has a lovely aroma which is even more gorgeous when it comes time to press it. A cheap and easy way for a nice fragrance.
I will share with you my candle and wax tart making process by taking a few photographs. I am working through my christmas list and a number of my friends and family will be receiving smellies this year. I can't believe that we are into the second week of September already so it is time that I make a dent in that list.
I have been having some fun fussy cutting some hexagons for an upcoming project. Are you really into paper piecing too at the moment?
If you are a newsletter subscriber you will be receiving this weeks newsletter very soon which will include this week's bargain buys including packs of 100 X 1" hexagon papers (Card) for just $4.50 and of course that Berry & Apple Slice Recipe. If you aren't already a subscriber you can join up in the top right hand corner of my blog. It's free.

Ooooh I can't wait to find out what you're up to and share in the joy. My fingers are crossed for fortune all the way.
busy stitching xmas decs here and as we are in for rain I guess I'll be busy doing them over the weekend too.
Baby steps are good, sweetie - as long as you keep moving, right? Your project looks so pretty! I'm not a fan of paper piecing, but I love to see how others put things together. Your wax tarts look so fun, what a good idea to store them amongst your fabric! Love your hexagon!
Lots of lovely things in this post. I buy these wax tarts and had no idea you could make them yourself. What a great idea to store them in among your fabric.
You new plans for 2012 sound exciting. I'm sure it will all be fabulous. Can't wait to hear more.
Wishing you well, it all sounds very exciting!
Oh I am just getting into quilting and am loving all the amazing blogs I am finding!!!! I have just about every tool imaginable for paper and Mixed Media......but now I'm wanting an accuquilt to cut shapes quickly to quilt!!!! Thank you for the inspiration!!!!!
Cant wait for your wax tart tutorial!!!! Im addicted to paper piecing at the moment too. Im doing the Pies and Tarts BOM and the Vignette Hexagon quilt, PLUS I bought a huge pile of reproduction fabrics to paper piece 6 point stars!!!


The most sentimental month of the year is upon us…. December….
December sneaks up quickly every single year. Most people tend to shake their heads in disbelief that the year is nearly over. As you consider the other eleven months of the year it is December that succeeds at building anticipation into the lives of people. The anticipation begins in the shopping malls. Christmas decorations create an atmosphere of joyful celebration. Individuals visiting shopping malls may be battling all sorts of issues in their lives or their families yet the Christmas spirit provides a tiny distraction from the reality facing them.

In advance of tomorrow's election, the SNP group is making clear our intentions towards the future administration of the Comhairle.
Following democratic elections, governments nationally and locally are formed by the organisation or group obtaining the overall majority.
Where no overall majority exists - to avoid non-administrations or covert cabinet outcomes - a duty falls to the largest openly elected group to seek to form an administration consistent with the policies on which they were elected.
The SNP group commits to respect this principle; seeking common purpose with elected colleagues on these policies, as set out in our published manifesto.
This election is not a trivial matter. The Comhairle is by far the single biggest employer in the Isles and shapes our direction of travel in terms of so many different areas.
It seems likely this election will return a variety of members with diverse views on how to take our islands forward. This is to be welcomed. Democracy only functions properly when everyone can feel that their views are represented.
What has not been good for democracy has been the selection of past administrations. Islanders quite rightly feel disengaged and disenchanted with this process. If the principles of transparency and accountability to one's electorate are to underpin the decisions members take, then something has to change.
This is the time for change. We seek to work together in the interests of all the communities we look to represent. We hope that - after Thursday - we are met in the chamber by those who share this outlook.
