D-Yikes is aflevering 1106 (#159) van de Amerikaanse animatieserie South Park van de zender Comedy Central. Hij is voor het eerst op 11 april 2007 uitgezonden op de Amerikaanse televisie. Deze aflevering is een parodie op de film 300, die enkele weken voor deze uitzending in première ging. Geparodieerd wordt onder andere de voice-overstem, de slow motion bij actiescènes en de Perzen en Spartanen. De Spartanen zijn in dit geval vervangen door lesbiennes (niet Sparta, maar Lesbos), die een eigen bar hebben, en die niet willen laten overnemen door de Perzen.

Verhaal

Garisson stormt de klas in en schreeuwt, omdat haar man haar heeft gedumpt. Ze is kwaad en geeft daarom de opdracht aan iedere jongen in de klas dat hij het boek "De oude man en de zee" van Ernest Hemingway moet lezen in één weekend, en daarover een verslag moet schrijven. Cartman, Kyle, Kenny en Stan geven de opdracht aan een aantal Mexicanen om het boek te lezen, en het werk voor hen te doen.

Ondertussen ontmoet Garrison een vrouw genaamd Allison. Allison stelt voor om naar de vrouwenbar "Les Bos" te gaan. Garrison is echter geschokt wanneer ze erachter komt dat het een lesbobar is. Na een bezoek aan het toilet is Garrison helemaal van gedachte veranderd, want Alisson en Garrison vrijen samen.

Cartman en de anderen gaan weer terug naar de Mexicanen die het boek voor hen hadden gelezen. Hoewel ze het verhaal van het boek perfect begrepen, is er een klein misverstand, de Mexicanen hebben namelijk een brief geschreven naar hun vrienden ("eses") in plaats van opstellen (essays) te schrijven. Cartman en de anderen lijken nu in problemen te verkeren, totdat ze weer in de klas zitten. Garrison is nu veel opgewekter dan voor het weekend, en ze geeft de jongens meer tijd om aan hun opstel te werken.

Garrison gaat regelmatig terug naar de lesbobar. Ze lijkt het er naar haar zin te hebben, en ze kan goed overweg met alle andere vrouwen. Dan wordt bekend dat de bar wordt overgenomen door een groep Perzen. Zij willen er een Perzische dansclub van maken.

De vrouwen van de bar gaan naar de burgemeester, maar die onderneemt geen enkele actie. Kort daarna komt een groep Perzen naar de vrouwen om mee te delen dat de vrouwen gewoon nog welkom zijn, maar dat het geen lesbobar meer is. Garrison schopt de man in zijn testikels. Hij gaat terug naar de Perzen, en komt even later terug met een groep van zestig andere Perzen om de bar in bezit te nemen. De vrouwen staan buiten de bar om de Perzen tegen te houden, die door mrs. Garrison worden aangevoerd, zoals Leonidas I de Spartanen bij de slag bij Thermopylae aanvoerde. Na een gevecht trekken de Perzen zich terug.

Garrison vindt dat er voor hun bar een spion bij de Perzen moet gaan, zodat ze, wanneer ze iets illegaals zien, ze hen kunnen zwartmaken. Garrison gaat naar de Mexicanen toe en geeft een van hen de opdracht de Perzen te bespioneren. De Mexicaan vindt uit dat Xerxes, de leider van de Perzen, eigenlijk een vrouw is. Garrison vertelt het Xerxes persoonlijk, en Xerxes weet niet wat ze nu moet doen, nu bekend is dat ze een vrouw is. Er vindt een herhaling plaats van wat ook met Garrison gebeurde. Xerxes wordt ook een lesbienne. Garrison en Xerxes vrijen samen, en zijn ook Xerxes is voortaan te vinden in de lesbobar. Het plan van een Perzische dansclub is van de baan.

Op school wordt Garrison vervangen door een groep Mexicanen. Het blijken goede leraren te zijn. Kyle zegt zelfs dat ze eindelijk eens wat leren.

Description: Full body workout. Starts with a HIIT bodyweight warmup (pushups, jumping jacks, etc.) followed by rounds on the bag with body weight/core exercises throughout. Set in a dark, high energy room with great music.
Sweat Level: 8/10 – You will definitely work up a sweat in here!
Tone Level: 7/10 – But this depends on how hard you push yourself on the bag. It's more of a workout we go to for a fun sweat, rather than being fully results based.
Cult Level: 6/10: While there are definitely regulars, we didn't feel much of a culty vibe.
Sneakers/Props: Wear sneakers, bring wraps (or buy for $4) + gloves can be rented for free. Also water is a must have!
Shower/Locker Situation: Showers, lockers products & refresh stations (but TBH, pretty cramped).
Vibe: Very millennial vibe. A toned down version of Rumble (beautiful aesthetic, but less sceney).
Extras: On CP (but we've found certain time slots to be double the credits). It can also be hard to see the instructor if you're not in the front of the room, so if you need guidance, pick your spot wisely. Great place to go after a breakup!
Go Back? Not in our personal routine. We prefer Rumble, but would go back!

A three-layer plating of gold (Au), nickel (Ni), and copper (Cu) is often applied to the contact areas of electronic devices and IC chips. The amount of plating material deposited (film thickness) can be measured non-destructively by using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry. This article introduces a simple quantitative analysis of Au, Ni, and Cu film of a three-layer plating by employing the thin-film fundamental parameter (FP) method without using standard samples.
3. The elements and layers of the plating are shown in Fig. 2.
The layer of each metal, Au, Ni, and Cu, was quantitated by the thin-film FP method. The analysis diameter was set to 1 mmφ. The samples were directly set on the sample stage without any pretreatment.
The analysis results of each layer's central point are shown in Table 1. A good result was obtained that the error of the quantitative value of each layer was within 5 % of the certified value.
The film thicknesses analysis results of one central point on the IC and the SIM are shown in Table 2.
Spectra of the analytical lines of each layer are shown in Fig. 3. While the thickness of the Au layer was thin at a few dozen nm, the peak was clear, demonstrating the high sensitivity of the analysis. Standard X-ray emission lines were used for analytical lines: AuLα, NiKα, and CuKα. Kβ and Lβ lines could be used when the analytical lines of each layer's element are close to each other.
Film thicknesses of a three-layer plating of gold, nickel, and copper were analyzed with ease, high sensitivity and precision in the order of nm to μm using small analysis diameters of 1 mmφ and 3 mmφ. Quantitation of even thinner areas may be possible by using the standard analysis diameter of 10 mmφ. As demonstrated in this research, XRF spectrometry is effective for film thickness measurement. Furthermore, XRF spectrometry (EDX-8000/7000) can also easily analyze the elements and their amounts used in the material.


Yep I'm getting it too.
It's been going on for a while now. I first noticed it last Wednesday.
The "Last Post" links on the front page are incorrect. That might be related to the multiple copies of posts that are appearing - if an admin is deleting extra copies of posts, that sometimes confuses the latest post links.
Might be time for a phpBB update? Dunno how much that would fix though. Sometimes these obscure bugs require some research on the phpBB boards and specific fixes beyond an update. I had to run some funny SQL script on Diatribe the other day to stop a weird error.
In case it was meant to be fixed already, I just got this bug again.
I've run a repair on the table. New version of phpbb when I can get the hosting provider to let me log in properly to the control panel and DB.
I'm guessing this hasn't happened as I'm still getting the debug error.

West End Jazz Series - "Here's to Life" Remembering Shirley Horn.
Description: After two very successful seasons, West End Jazz moved to a new venue, the "Le Dome" It has better acoustics, room for us to grow, great food but still the same high quality of music that our audience is accustomed to. The third show of the season will be dedicated to Shirley Horn, an American jazz singer and pianist. She was most noted for her ability to accompany herself with nearly incomparable independence and ability on the piano. The musical director and featured vocalist of this event will be June Garber. Very few contemporary jazz singers can match Shirley Horn's unmistakable voice than Ms. Garber. To make the program more complete, June will be joined - as a special guest - by Peter Campbell, who recently released a very popular album "Loving You - Celebrating Shirley Horn" You do not want to miss this one.

Q: Momentum change of a ball during rebound
Consider a ball of mass 'm' moving with velocity 'v' and striking a wall, and it rebounds after striking. Assume, the collision is elastic. Now, if i have to find the force on the ball, that would be equal to rate of change of momentum of the ball. This is where, i have trouble, since momentum is a vector quantity therefore the change in momentum should be the vector sum of initial and final momentum. The initial momentum would be  $mv$ along positive x-axis, and after collision it will be $mv$ along the negative x-axis. Since the two vectors are at 180° angle, therefore momentum change should be zero.
But if i calculate the momentum change as,
Final momentum - Initial momentum $= m (V_2-V_1) = m[-v - (v)] = -2mv$.
The second answer is right, but what is the flaw in the first approach?

A:
the change in momentum should be the vector sum of initial and final momentum

That's incorrect because you must subtract the quantities in order to obtain the difference between, i.e., by how much it changed.
That becomes clear when considering $\vec{p}=\text{const.}$, say, $\vec{p}=3\hat{\imath}$ in your units; then, according to the quoted text above, the change would be $\Delta \vec{p} = \vec{p}_i +\vec{p}_f = 3\hat{\imath}+3\hat{\imath} = 6\hat{\imath}$, which doesn't make sense, since the change of a constant quantity is zero (since constant means that it doesn't change), which is what you get from your second way of calculating: $$ \Delta \vec{p} = \vec{p}_f -\vec{p}_i.$$
Then, for the constant $\vec{p}$ example, you get $ \Delta \vec{p} = 3\hat{\imath}-3\hat{\imath} = \vec{0}$.

Last year, I posted some thoughts on the Tangram Wellness Facebook page to highlight that- although much of the discussion around strength is tied to fitness- true strength is found less in the gym and more in the thoughts, behaviors and actions that stem from our hearts. I decided to repost those words on strength in light of the new direction that Tangram Wellness is taking, and I hope you enjoy the downloadable free printable below!
Hurdle over your fears. Close your eyes if you need to. When we walk alongside fear as our companion, we are on the wrong road. You've heard it before- "what you're looking for is on the other side of fear." That's true.
Forgive and release. Forgiveness doesn't mean condoning or accepting someone else's issues. It means recognizing our shared humanity and connection, and honoring yourself enough to release your heart from resentment.
Develop unbreakable, non-negotiable, rock solid habits and practices. Running. Prayer. Weightlifting. Meditation. Writing. Gratitude Lists. Start with one and do it for at least six months before you add another. Make it yours.
Cultivate kindness. Some of us were born kind, raised in kind families, and treated kindly throughout our lives. Most of us have experienced our share of unkind experiences. Don't let that make you bitter. Practice kindness each day. Be especially kind to the vulnerable- children, animals, the elderly, the disadvantaged and disabled, the unkind, the angry, the hateful.
Find a creative way to express that brilliant, revolving kaleidoscope within you: painting, writing, sculpture, singing, violin, beadwork, photography, dance, what have you. Get it out and let it fuel something uniquely splendid.
Go out and explore the world. Hang with people who are very different from you, break out of your own social comfort circle. Learn as much as you can about the places you go. Taste the food, try the language, soak up the sights, and appreciate the diversity of the world while setting any judgments aside.
Learn as much as you can, as often as you can. Feed your mind and your soul with books and experiences that will broaden your conception of what's possible and open your imagination up to new possibilities. Commit to continuous growth through lifelong learning. Keep your brain fresh and alive!
Do the hard things. We evolve and expand by cultivating our strength, grit, tenacity, and bravery. Cry through it if you have to, but do the hard things.

Objection Deadline for the Disbursing Agent and the Litigation Trustees. In support of the Motion, the Disbursing Agent and the Litigation Trustees respectfully represent as follows: I. BACKGROUND 1. On July 8, 2016 (the "Petition Date"), Mesabi and ESML Holdings Inc. ("Holdings") each filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, thereby commencing their chapter 11 cases (the "Chapter 11 Cases"). Mesabi and Holdings were authorized to, and did, operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. 2. On August 9, 2016, this Court entered an order [D.I. 202] (the "Bar Date Order") establishing: (a) September 30, 2016 at 4:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) (the "Bar Date") as the final date and time for each person or entity (other than governmental units) to file proofs of claim for prepetition claims against the debtors; (b) October 30, 2016 at 4:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) as the deadline for co-debtors, sureties, and guarantors under section 501(b) of the Bankruptcy Code to file proofs of claim; and January 4, 2017 at 4:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) as the deadline for governmental units to file proofs of claim. The September 30, 2016 bar date was extended to October 30, 2016 for certain of Mesabi's affiliates. 3. The Bar Date Notice was mailed to all known creditors on September 6, 2016 [D.I. 289]. In addition, on August 25, 2016, the Debtors published the Bar Date Notice in The Wall Street Journal (national edition), the Minneapolis Star Tribune, and the Hibbing Daily Tribune [D.I. 282]. To date, more than 200 proofs of claim have been filed in these Chapter 11 Cases, totaling approximately $7 billion. Approximately $3.7 billion of the total claims amount was asserted by affiliates of the debtors against whom an adversary complaint has been filed and will be prosecuted by the SC Litigation Trustee on behalf of the SC Litigation Trust.
4. On June 8, 2017, Mesabi and Holdings filed the Plan, which this Court confirmed on June 13, 2017. The effective date of the Plan occurred on December 22, 2017 (the "Effective Date"). Mesabi emerged as the Reorganized Debtor and was appointed as the Disbursing Agent pursuant to Section 7.8 of the Plan. 5. On the Effective Date, two litigation trusts—( a) the SC Litigation Trust and (b) the UC Litigation Trust (collectively, the "Litigation Trusts")—were formed pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Plan and in accordance with section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code. The SC Litigation Trustee and the UC Litigation Trustee were each appointed for the SC Litigation Trust and the UC Litigation Trust, respectively. 6. Among other things, the Litigation Trusts succeeded Mesabi and Holdings in litigating and allowing certain Trust Claims, including claims adverse to a Litigation Trust, all general unsecured claims, and claims held by a Litigation Trust Beneficiary. See Plan § 8.2(a). 7.

29.

II. RELIEF REQUESTED 24. By this Motion and pursuant to section 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rule 3006(b), and Local Rule 9006-2, the Disbursing Agent and the Litigation Trustees seek entry of an order, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, extending the Claims Objection Deadline solely for the Disbursing Agent and Litigation Trustees by approximately 180 days through and including July 11, 2022,3 without prejudice to the rights of the Disbursing Agent or the Litigation Trustees to seek further extensions as necessary. III. BASIS FOR RELIEF 25. The current Claim Objection Deadline is set to expire on January 12, 2022. Section 10.1 provides, however, that the Claim Objection Deadline may be extended by order of the Court upon a motion of the Disbursing Agent or a Litigation Trustee: As soon as practicable, but in no event later than one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Effective Date (subject to being extended by the order of the Bankruptcy Court upon motion of the Disbursing Agent or a Litigation Trustee with notice of the motion pursuant to Local Rule 2002-1(b)) objections to Claims shall be filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served upon the Holders of each of the Claims to which objections are made. Plan § 10.1 3 Pursuant to Rule 9006-2 of the Local Rules of Bankruptcy Practice and Procedure of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Local Rules"), the filing of this Motion prior to the Claim Objection Deadline shall serve to extend automatically the Claim Objection Deadline, without the necessity for the entry of a bridge order, until the Court rules on this Motion.
26. Section 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that "the court may issue any order, process, or judgment that is necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this title." 11 U.S.C. § 105(a). The Court is not precluded from "taking any action or making any determination necessary or appropriate to enforce or implement court orders or rules, or to prevent an abuse of process." Id. 27. Moreover, the Court may extend the Claim Objection Deadline pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9006(b), which provides as follows: Except as provided in paragraphs (2) and (3) of this subdivision, when an act is required or allowed to be done at or within a specified period by these rules or by a notice given thereunder or by order of court, the court for cause shown may at any time in its discretion (1) with or without motion or notice order the period enlarged if the request therefor is made before the expiration of the period originally prescribed or as extended by a previous order . . . . FED. R. BANKR. P. 9006(b)(1). 28. The Disbursing Agent has actively been engaged in the claims reconciliation process. Although the Disbursing Agent and its advisors are continuing to work to resolve the proofs of claim on the claims register, some of the claims require substantial time, analysis, and negotiation before a resolution can be reached. The Disbursing Agent believes that with the requested extension it may be able to resolve potential objections to these claimants' claims without incurring the costs and judicial resources related to filing and litigating such objections. 29. The Litigation Trustees have also been working together and discussing, among other things, the efficient administration and prosecution of the adversary proceeding against Essar Global Limited and other related affiliates pending before this Court (Adv. Proc. No. 17-50001), which incorporates certain, but not all claim objections against the Essar affiliates. The Litigation Trustees also believe that an additional six (6) months would be highly beneficial to
resolving other unaddressed claims in an orderly manner without causing the Litigation Trusts to incur any fees and expenses associated with unnecessary objections in advance of the current Claims Objection Deadline and without prejudicing any parties in interest. 30. The Disbursing Agent and the Litigation Trustees believe the requested extension is in the best interests of the Reorganized Debtor, the Litigation Trusts and their respective beneficiaries, and will serve judicial economy. Based on the foregoing, the Disbursing Agent and the Litigation Trustees believe that adequate cause exists to extend the Claims Objection Deadline as requested herein. IV. NOTICE 31. Notice of this Motion has been provided to (i) the Office of the United States Trustee for the District of Delaware, and (ii) those parties that have filed requests for notices in this case pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002. The Disbursing Agent and the Litigation Trustees submit that in view of the facts and circumstances, such notice is sufficient and no other or further notice need be provided. V. CONCLUSION WHEREFORE, the Disbursing Agent and the Litigation Trustees respectfully request entry of an order (a) granting the relief requested herein and (b) granting such other and further relief as the Court deems just and proper.

In May of 2011 Martin Sheen starred in a film called "The Way", directed by his son, Emilio Estevez.The DVD was released in the Autumn. It is the moving story of an American businessman whose son dies in Northern Spain. Sheen views his son's body and arranges for the cremation so that he can return home with the ashes. When police hand over his son's possessions, however, the father realises that the boy was planning to travel along the Camino de Santiago from Roncesvalles to Santiago de Compostela, part of a route that is taken by pilgrims from all over the world.
stay and what life is like along the way. Martin and Emilio are both natives of Spain and in making this film, are in fact returning to the area where they were born. The film gives a fascinating insight into the whole pilgrimage experience and highlights the fact that all sorts of people, for all sorts of reasons, spiritual, cultural, philosophical, or simply for the sheer joy of travel,discipline themselves to do this walk over and again.

Over the last weekend, G dragon draws about 7000 fans to the Singapore indoor stadium. Singapore VIPS were given 2 awesome concert shows by G-dragon for his World Tour (ACTIII, M.O.T.T.E). It was two wonderful nights to be able to listen to G dragon songs in throughout the whole concerts.
G dragon started off the concert by singing his first debut solo song, Heartbreaker, the concert lighted up with a sea of yellow crown lightsticks as soon as the concert started.
Not only Hits songs like One of a kind, Crayon were performed but his EP( Kwon Ji Yong) songs were brought up to stage . It is the first time Singapore VIPs could listen to the new songs live, majority of the fans can sing along with G dragon too.
During the concert, G dragon shared about the concept of the new EP (Kwon Ji Yong), he mentioned that it was a very individual project. He met with obstacles and had a hard time working on it , and was also worried that the fans have difficulty in understanding what he wants to deliver through the EP( Kwon Ji Yong). Fortunately, the fans are able to understand the message behinds the EP ( Kwon Ji Yong) , and he was really happy about it. G dragon also mentioned that this might be his last performance before he is enlisting, and the fans were shouting "dont go , stay in Singapore".
The most looking forward songs during the concert will be the title track "Untitled, as this song is different from his previous performances which emphasis on dance, disco atmostphere, it is a slow song which shows his singing skill. G dragon made use of the concert VCR to deliver the messages he wish to tell the VIPs, to let them know more about him as Kwon Jin Young.
Korean updates would like to thank IME to offer a chance for inviting us to 2 days concerts.

UIW dedicates fencing center in memory of former faculty member
Posted by The Word Magazine | Nov 14, 2016 | The Universe: Campus News | 0
(L-R) Scott LeBlanc, director of sports and wellness, and Carleton hang the official plaque honoring Henrich at the center.
On Sept. 16, UIW dedicated the Henrich Center for Fencing and International Sports located on the campus of St. Anthony Catholic High School. The center, which opened in 2013, was officially named in honor of Dr. Timothy Henrich, former professor of sports management and kinesiology who served as a UIW faculty member for 22 years. Henrich was instrumental in the vision and creation of the sports center. He passed away in October 2014.
The dedication ceremony included speakers Dr. Kathy Light, provost; Dr. William Carleton, professor and chair of kinesiology; and John Moreau, UIW head fencing coach; as well as a blessing from Sr. Kathleen Coughlin, CCVI, vice president for institutional advancement. The event concluded with a reception and a fencing demonstration by members of UIW's fencing team.

Master Blenders use whisky matured in refill American oak hogsheads, European oak Sherry casks and refill casks with new ends for this expression before allowing the resultant single malt whisky to marry in small oak casks.
Oban Distillery takes its name from the town where the Highlands meet the Islands. Two brothers, the Stevensons settled here in 1778 and greatly enriched the hamlet, as it was then, with their business activities ranging from slate quarrying to shipbuilding. In 1794 Hugh Stevenson built the Oban Distillery, hiring an experienced Lowland distiller to manage the whole operation and distill oban single malt scotch. Nestling beneath the steep cliff that overlooks Oban, one of Scotland's oldest sources of single malt whisky is but a stone's throw from the sea. This coastal location is accurately reflected by the character of the Oban 14 year old single malt whisky. At Oban Distillery you can see the distillers at work crafting a rich, sweet malt whisky with a subtle hint of sea salt and peaty smokiness.
Dark amber in color, Oban Little Bay has a rich and vibrant malty bouquet with dried apple, dried plums, caramel, honey, allspice, and oak. There's a solid balance between the rich and spicy characteristics. The entry is very flavorful and expressive, matching the bouquet quite well with toasted malt, green apple, dried apricot, salt, chocolate, and orange peel. In the mid-palate the real impact of the small cask finish is quite apparent as the spice elements noticeably increase with clove and oak without abandoning the sweet dried fruit underneath. After the peak of the mid-palate, Oban Little Bay backs off quite a bit for a lightly acidic and slightly spicy finish.
Contrary to popular belief, there is no right or wrong way to enjoy Single Malt Scotch Whisky. What's important is that you enjoy the experience. However, there are certainly some ways that are better than others if you want to truly appreciate the flavours and aromas in a Single Malt.


Diabetes is a condition which is often detected in women during the childbearing years and can have a profound effect upon the health of both the mother and the unborn baby. When diabetes is out-of-control in a pregnant woman there is an increase in the chances for birth defects and other problems for the baby, as well as difficulties and complications for the mother.
Diabetes is a condition in which the body is unable to convert the sugars and starches it takes in as food into energy. The pancreas either produces too little insulin or it is unable to utilize the insulin it does make in order to convert the sugars and starches into energy. The result is the collection of the surplus sugar in the blood and the release of some of the sugar through the urine. The extra sugar in the blood system causes damage to organs such as the heart, eyes and kidneys, if it remains in the body too long.
Are All Forms Of Diabetes The Same?
The three most common types of diabetes are Type 1, Type 2, and gestational diabetes. A person with Type 1 diabetes suffers with a pancreas that makes so little insulin that the body is unable to use blood sugar for energy. This type of diabetes requires daily insulin shots to control. Type 2 diabetes is either the low production of insulin or the inability of the body to use the insulin it does make to convert blood sugar to energy. This type of diabetes is controlled through proper diet and regular exercise. Some people with this type of diabetes take pills or injections. A pregnant woman who has never had diabetes may contract it while she is pregnant and this is called gestational diabetes. Proper diet, exercise and sometimes injections are used to control this type of diabetes which often disappears after the birth of the baby.
People with diabetes are susceptible to high blood pressure, kidney disease, nerve damage, heart disease and blindness. This type of damage usually happens in people whose blood sugar has been out of control for years. Also, if the blood sugar is too high a diabetic coma may occur. Hypoglycemia, a case where the blood sugar is too low, can be dangerous as well. Both of these conditions, diabetic coma and hypoglycaemia, can be fatal. Controlling diabetes can help prevent damage or death.
If a pregnant woman with diabetes does not control the disease she may get some of the problems associated with diabetes, or those problems may become worse if she already has them. Diabetes that is out-of-control could lead to miscarriage or stillbirth of her baby. High blood pressure during pregnancy may cause an early birth, seizures or a stroke in the mother during labor and delivery. A woman may also produce too much amniotic fluid which also may lead to a premature birth. One of the common effects of out-of-control diabetes in a pregnant woman is that her baby grows too large or is born with birth defects.
Diabetes can be controlled. A woman who is pregnant and who has diabetes does herself and her baby a great service by getting control of the disease prior to, and during, pregnancy.


I recently took this cheese ball to a luncheon. The idea came from my Great Balls of Cheese cookbook, which I get inspiration from so often. I used a favorite cheese ball recipe found here, but you could use whatever is your favorite one. My recipe actually made enough for two smaller size trees.
Mix the cheese ball ingredients. If you'd like, you can use my favorite recipe, found here. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours.
Take out the cheese ball mixture from the fridge and shape into a cone(s), to resemble a Christmas tree.
Roll the ball into some dried parsley and place onto your plate. Decorate with pomegranates or dried cranberries for ornaments. You could also use red pepper or pimento, if you like. Use what you have on hand, is my motto. I used some almond slices, also.
Cut a star out of a yellow pepper and adorn the top.
Well if that isn't the greatest idea, Kitty!
My husband loves to have a cheese ball around to snack on.
Adorable idea! I love the cheese decoration.
So simple & yet BRILLIANT! Why have I never thought to do that?
Guess what I'm making for out of town guests next week? She is gluten intolerant, so all I have to buy is the GF crackers & this can be made up ahead of their arrival time from Chicago. THANKS for the idea, Kitty!! I gotta check out that book.
Just darling...and no doubt, tastes as delicious as it looks. Very clever! Thanks for sharing with us at Weekend Potluck.
Such a cute idea, Kitty! I'll have to remember that one. I don't have the cheese ball cookbook, and it sounds like a good one.
I love this idea, Kitty. What a festive addition to the holiday table. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
This is so cute and festive.
What a wonderful idea! Sooo cute and I bet it is really yummy. :) Merry Christmas!
We love cheese balls around here, and always have one as an appetizer before our holiday meals. This is a great idea for Christmas, and I love the star. Thanks for sharing Kitty.
Your recipe sounds great, too! I pinned it last year, and I love that pine cone shape. Thanks for sharing this creative recipe with us -- I hope you have a good weekend!
It looks festive, Kitty and delicious! I have the towel you made me hanging, think of you every day!
I read your favorite recipe, forgot where I was, and commented there! LOL! Not only my plans are scrambled. Merry On, Kitty! Sounds as if things are well under control at your place.
Your Christmas Tree Cheese Ball looks awesome, what a fun idea! Thanks so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday and have a very special Christmas week!
Kitty, you have made my day!! I bought a cheese ball from a bakery yesterday because I am a little time crunched and have been trying to figure out how to make it Christmasy~ luckily I bought parsley too, so now I'm all set!! Merry week to you and yours!

New Zealand: Australia and New Zealand are not always similar
Email a friend Your name:
Please enter a maximum of 5 recipients. Use ; to separate more than one email address.
A recent New Zealand High Court decision (Pharmazen Limited v Anagenix IP Limited [2019] NZHC 1520 (July 1 2019)) serves as a reminder of the subjective nature of the comparison of trademarks, with the court finding the marks "Actazin" and "ActiPhen" too similar, while on the same facts and evidence, an Australian hearings officer had decided the opposite.
What happened – a crisis of kiwifruit
The case involved the marks "Actazin" and "ActiPhen", both covering kiwifruit powder. The applicant argued forcefully, but ultimately hopelessly, that the marks were to be applied to dissimilar goods. Unfortunately, neither the law nor common sense permitted this argument.
The applicant argued, perhaps surprisingly, that its goods, which included "kiwifruit powder (not for medical purposes) for use as an ingredient in dietary supplements" were not similar to the opponent's goods, which included "kiwifruit extract powder as …an ingredient adapted for human health …use including dietary… supplements". Its reasoning was that the actual goods sold by the parties were different due to their manufacturing procedures, additives, and water and enzyme activity. It further argued that there could be no likelihood of confusion because the opponent's goods were not for sale in New Zealand.
The judge looked over the case law in this area, and reaffirmed that the comparison of goods in a specification is a purely notional exercise, and when considered on their face, the respective specifications were obviously similar, if not identical.
This meant the matter came down to a comparison of marks.
In each of the New Zealand and Australian decisions, the decision-maker was presented with a table breaking down the marks into their constituent parts, and was asked to analyse the similarities/differences between the marks in detail.
In the Australian decision, this review resulted in the marks being considered different aurally and visually.
In New Zealand, the hearings officer noted that the comparison is between the marks as a whole, having regard to their essential features; it is not a side-by-side comparison, and allowance must be made for imperfect recollection.
However, the hearings officer then made what might be considered a side-by-side comparison and held that the marks were similar because they both began with the prefix "act", they had three syllables, and they ended with the letter "n".
On appeal, the judge also noted the artificiality and inapplicability of such a side-by-side comparison, but still agreed with the hearings officer; the deciding factor being that the similarities occurred at the start of the marks. In so doing, the judge was mostly swayed by the similarity of the first syllable, opining that the first part of the mark is the most important because of the tendency of consumers to slur the second part.
The respective analyses at first instance and appeal both effectively applied an imperfect recollection test, but arguably such a test should not be applied without careful consideration of the likely customer. In neither case was there particular regard to the types of customers who would purchase the kiwifruit dietary supplements covered by the marks. Such health conscious customers of nutraceuticals are likely to be more sophisticated, and demonstrate a higher level of attention when making purchasing decisions. A lot was made of the aural similarities between the marks, whereas perhaps the visual comparison is more important because of the way the products are likely to be purchased off the shelf in a pharmacy, or online.
This case is somewhat of a departure from previous recent cases in New Zealand, which have taken a fairly robust approach along the lines of that seen in Australia, to the comparison of pharma or nutraceutical names, generally on the basis that relevant customers seem to be well versed in differentiating brands with common (often ingredient-based) prefixes.
In this case, the prefix "act" was chosen by both parties to indicate the active ingredient "Actinidin", but because this was not yet commonplace on the register the descriptive nature of this prefix was not taken into account, leaving the first-comer Anagenix with a broader scope of protection than perhaps was warranted.

CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles Co. has announced that an automated high-speed railway line linking Beijing and Zhangjiakou will be tested in 2019.
The 174-kilometer intercity railway is a high-speed rail line, with a designed speed of up to 350 km/h. Construction work on the line began in April 2016 and is expected to be completed by the end of 2019. There are 10 stations along the line.
Travel time between Beijing to Zhangjiakou in Hebei province will be shortened from the current three hours to within one hour. The automated high-speed train will use 7.5% less energy than the current slower train.
Fastbrick Robotics Limited (ASX:FBR) is an Australian robotic technology company developing and commercializing digital construction technology solutions, including the revolutionary commercial bricklaying machine, Hadrian X.

Fastbrick is now targeting 2 percent of the global market within the next five years, approximately 600,000 low-rise buildings a year.
(American Prospect) In a perfect world, a big-city mayor would not have to wrangle over how to finance a tunnel to the port. But Manny Diaz did not live in a perfect world: He lived in Miami. Port traffic clogging downtown was a decades-old problem. To realize his vision of a vibrant region showcased by a vital city center, Mayor Diaz had to get…port-bound 18-wheelers off downtown streets.
In 2007, with a plan and money on the table, the Florida Department of Transportation turned up the heat on the term-limited mayor to deliver the tunnel. So Diaz devised a strategy to gin up city and surrounding county support: He tossed a baseball stadium, museums, more funds for a performing arts center—and the tunnel—into one civic wish-list basket and made a successful appeal to regional pride for funding them all. Meanwhile, two multinational firms, Meridiam, a public infrastructure investor, and Bouygues Travaux Publics, a tunneling and engineering firm, arrived on the scene with the dollars to move the …initiative forward after the Great Recession unspooled the original consortium. "It was perfect timing," says Diaz.
Activists in Boston protest fare hikes resulting from the project's cost overruns.
Trams, buses and trains for free for registered Estonia resident's. Each city makes a profit of €1,000 from the citizen's income tax every year. People need a €2 green card and carry their ID on public transport.
Free public transport also stimulates the mobility of all income groups. People go out more often for entertainment, to restaurants, bars and cinemas. They consume local goods and services and are likely to spend more money, more often. In the end this makes local businesses thrive.
Before introducing free public transport, the city center was crammed with cars. This situation has improved — also because they raised parking fees. People leave cars in a park-and-ride and check in to public transport on the same day, they use public transport for free, but are not charged parking fees. People didn't complain about high parking fees once they were offered them a good alternative.
(Mysterious Universe) Moths love them. Drivers love them. Doo-wop singers love them. We're talking, of course, about streetlamps. Who doesn't like them? Well, astronomers. All of that light is making it hard to see the stars. Urban planners don't like them either … at least, not the old-style ones that can't be connected to the Internet and controlled for efficiency and ambience. Fortunately, the new 5G LED street lamps currently being tested are designed to solve the second dilemma and may even help the first. What's not to love about them? Well, how about the nosebleeds, insomnia, cancer, mental-health issues and possible birth defects? Are 5G streetlamps the next chemtrails?
Mark Steele lives in the northern England town of Gateshead, which is a test site for these LED street lamps. He also claims to be a member of IEEE (the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) and is knowledgeable in what might be causing these strange maladies in Gateway. In his humble yet experienced opinion, the fine citizens of Gateway are being bombarded by 5G radiation emitted from the street lamps and the towers that control the wireless communications used to manipulate them. After noticing that his neighbors were reporting an unusual number of nosebleeds, cancer cases and worse, Steele believes it's they that are being manipulated by the local government and businesses.
With European emissions standards getting steadily stricter, you'd think automakers would be steadily making their cars cleaner. Alas, you'd be mistaken — according to a recent report from JATO Dynamics (via Automotive News Europe), European emissions increased by a wee bit in 2017, reversing a decade of steady decreases in tailpipe pollution.
California Approves $738 Million Transportation Electrification Initiative.
California is at the forefront of US states when it comes to reducing carbon emissions. Nearly 40% of those emissions come from the state's transportation sector. Not only has California always been ground zero for car culture, but it's also home to several of the largest ports in America, whose operations depend on heavy-duty trucks powered by diesel engines that produce tremendous pollution.
High-speed rail connecting all of the UK mainland by 2050 would put "rocket fuel in Britain's economy", a leading transport think tank has proposed.
The move would shrink a long-standing productivity gap with countries such as Germany, Italy and France, Greengauge 21 said. It would also reduce an over-reliance on London by lowering journey times and allowing other cities to flourish, it added.
A new connection in the West Midlands would see HS2 trains speed to cities such as Bristol, Cardiff, Newcastle and Edinburgh, reducing the need for environmentally harmful cars, the group suggested.
HS2 is a planned high-speed rail network, with trains holding more than 1,000 commuters travelling up to 250 mph, from London to Birmingham and to Manchester and Leeds. Services on the London-Birmingham phase of the £56 billion network are predicted to open from 2026.

Double a city's population and its economic productivity goes up 130 percent. MIT researchers think they know why.
I've known about this phenomenon for a while, but the study is illuminating because it mentions possible limitations.
"When you pack people together, something special happens," says Alex "Sandy" Pentland, the Toshiba Professor of Media Arts and Science and director of the Human Dynamics Laboratory. "This is the sort of thing that Adam Smith wanted to explain. He explained it through specialization: People were able to narrow what they did to get better at it, and because they were nearby, they could trade with each other.
This is a bedrock theory of modern economics, but it's critical to remember that the benefits of maximum specialization plus free trade plateau after a certain point. For example, if the U.S. specialized in only making computers, Mexico specialized in only making tequila, and there were no trade barriers at all between the two countries, computers wouldn't get so cheap in Mexico that they'd be free, and tequila wouldn't get so cheap in America that it would be free. In both cases, a price floor would be reached, and further improvement would be impossible.
Similarly, I think it's likely that the productivity and innovation benefits that come from enlarging cities top out once the cities reach a certain size and/or density.
I spent a few days in Charleston in 2012, and word of its decline comes as no surprise. The city is overwhelmingly old, white, overweight, and has the feeling of being stuck in time. In the entire city, there's one or two blocks of "cool" and "trendy" shops and restaurants. That's it.
As you probably know, President Obama put in place higher mileage standards for new cars before he left office. President Trump, naturally, wants to get rid of them. This requires a report demonstrating that the Obama standards would be bad, so he ordered OMB Director Mick Mulvaney to produce one.¹ Mick saluted and scurried off to carry out his boss's order with the help of the Department of Transportation, which is conveniently run by Elaine Chao, the wife of Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell.
Today the EPA made public an … um … assessment of the report that it wrote a couple of months ago. The EPA's assessment "privately challenged the Trump administration's rationale for freezing Obama-era mileage standards," according to the Associated Press, and that made me curious to see it. Eventually I did, and now I'm going to share a small part of it with you. Fair warning, though: even for chart nerds, this is pretty tedious. But I promise that it's worth it, for reasons that I hope will become clear.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (Courthouse News) – Fortification costs for the nation's tallest but flawed dam have spiked to over $1 billion, California officials said Wednesday – a figure more than five times original estimates.

The world's first hydrogen train is entering into commercial service and is ready for serial production. The trains, which operate in between northern German towns, are a step away from traditional diesel power.
The trains, which promise a low-noise trip, can hit speeds up to 140 km/hr, or 86.9 MPH. They'll run on 100 kilometers (62 miles) of track. Running on a single tank of hydrogen, they can run around 600 miles (1,000km), on par with a diesel train.
Whats with Germany and experimental transportation options full of hydrogen?
Hope this one goes better than the famous one!

As Carlo Ancelotti closes in on yet another title he will surely take a deep breath in after what has been a not so easy season. The Bayern boss has seen his side struggle at times to exert its dominance on a league that it has controlled fairly easily over the last six years or so. Bayern's dominance of the Bundesliga is without question but in recent seasons the gap between them and the chasing pack appears to be shrinking. The proverbial cracks are appearing in Bayern's armour and that may indicate the need for change sooner rather than later. Old age is catching up with the Barvarian team in more than one sense.
The need for change was highlighted in their 3-2 semi final German Cup defeat this year at the hands of Borussia Dortmund. Despite leading the game 2-1 at half time, Bayern appeared to fade and tire as the game went on as Borussia upped the pace of the game by giving its younger stars who had energy to burn more of the ball. Goals from Pierre Emerick Aubameyang and 19 year old french sensation Ousmane Dembele ultimately settled the game and sent Dortmund through to the final against Frankfurt. This most recent defeat means that Bayern haven't won a game in five attempts with their last victory being ironically against Dortmund in the league at the beginning of April. Over those five games though Bayern were knocked out by Real Madrid in the Champions League, held twice in the league by Bayer Leverkausen and Mainz and knocked out of the German Cup. With only four games left, Bayern should manage to stumble over the finish line and in doing so lift their five successive Bundesliga title. But Ancelotti will know that Bayern needs refreshing before the start of next season if they are to lift the title again and hold off their main competitors.
Bayern unlike its rivals in the league are an aging team with more than a handful of key players on the wrong side of 26 (the league average). Indeed two of its most influential players in recent years are set to retire at the end of current season. Captain Philip Lahm (33) and midfield anchor Xavi Alonso (35) will hang up their boots after remarkable careers leaving sizable and notable gaps in the Bayern squad. Added into this, wingers Arjen Robben (33) and Franck Ribery (34) are speeding towards the end of their careers although are still both classified as important members of the squad.
More worryingly for Bayern is the lack of youth products coming through and breaking into the first team. Arguably other sides like Dortmund and Schalke have better youth development programs that are bearing fruit on a semi regular basis. Just a quick look at either squad will show that at least 20% has come through youth development channels in recent seasons. But for Bayern it's less than 15% and even those that have broken through have been limited to very few minutes on the field. That's not to say that Bayern does not have talent coming through its youth ranks, it certainly does (Marco Stefandl, Sinai Kurt, Gianluca Gaudino etc) but it's simply not at the same rate as some of its main competitors.
Luckily for Bayern they can and have been able to flex their financial muscles over the past few years and have bought some talented younger players like Kingsley Coman (transfer confirmed for end of season after successful loan spell), Renato Sanchez and Joshua Kimmich. All three have featured regularly this season under Ancelotti with Sanches in particular impressing. Its likely that Ancelotti will add to this trio in the summer with the transfer of Niklas Sule already confirmed and rumours surrounding Julian Brandt also gathering weight. The manager and the club are aware of the issue of having an aging squad as is captain Lahm who spoke publicly of his concern at the beginning of this season. The former Germany World Cup winning captain told Sport Bild that it was "important that the club starts to think about this (the aging squad) at an early stage". He called it a huge task to replace the likes of Robben, Ribery and Alonso in the squad over the next couple of years with Neuer, Rafinha and Vidal also mentioned as concerns for later as they too enter the latter parts of their careers. A huge task indeed but one that Bayern are very capable of doing given their vast resources and current domestic and international pull.

GasBuddy, which has been operating in the United States and Canada, works off a simple model: someone goes to a petrol station, keys in the prices for the different grades of unleaded petrol, diesel and LPG fuel and submits them to the GasBuddy data base.
The database gets updated in real time when other users confirm those prices after seeing them, or when they submit updates if prices change.
Every time you add prices, you get points.
Get to a certain level and you become eligible to enter a draw for a $100 fuel voucher.
It has been an enormous success in the US and Canada where its generated 15 million fuel price reports a month.
The plan here is to get the app downloaded by 500,000 Australian motorists within a year.
To get it out, GasBuddy has got Uber on board. The ride sharing service plans to place the app in 50,000 of its vehicles. It's also looking at spending $36,000 on fuel giveaways to entice motorists to use it.


The thing I enjoy most in life is making other people laugh or feel good about themselves. Someday, I would like to raise a strong family and pass my love unto them.
I like to play sports such as softball, tennis, basketball. I also enjoy listening to music and watching movies. As far as pets, I own a saltwater aquarium and have two cats.
I would love to meet a warm, attractive woman who loves to laugh. I also am seeking someone who believes in God and realizes that life is much more than pleasing your own self.

European Parliament spends £600,000 on body scanners that have never been used
Martin Banks
Tue, 08 Mar 2011 17:43 UTC
© PA
MEPs led the campaign to stop the use of the scanners in the Parliament yet they are in use in 70 airports across Europe, including London Heathrow
The European Parliament spent £600,000 on six body scanners that were never used because MEPs argued it would be an infringement of privacy.
The body scanners, bought in 2005 at a cost of £100,000 each, are "rotting" in the basement of the building in Brussels and have never been used.
When the scanners, which create an image of a person's nude body, were eventually delivered to the Parliament in the autumn of 2005 MEPs objected to them being used in the building on privacy grounds.
Nikki Sinclair, a British independent MEP, said the Parliament tried to sell the machines but failed to do so.
They are now so old that they are considered to be technically out of date and may be scrapped altogether.
BBC staff arrested and tortured in Libya by Gaddafi forces

Journalists subjected to mock execution in ordeal which represents most serious incident against international media
Journalists working for the BBC in Libya have been arrested, tortured and subjected to a mock execution by security forces of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's regime.
The shocking account of their experiences, including being held in a cage in a militia barracks while others were tortured around them, was made available to media colleagues in Tripoli after the men had been released and left the country.
At one point during their captivity the men say they had shots fired past their heads as they were led into a barracks.
One of the men was attacked repeatedly with fists, boots, rifle butts, a stick and piece of pipe. He also described trying to help other victims of torture whom they saw, some of whom had had their ribs broken during beatings.
California, US: Man Burns Ex-Girlfriend's Body as Kids Watch
Moreno Valley - A man killed his former girlfriend and torched her body in front of her six children before fleeing and remained at large Monday, Riverside County authorities said.
Tyrone Levoid Harts, 39, of Riverside is considered armed and dangerous, sheriff's investigator Melissa Nieburger said.
Harts is accused of killing Brandi Marie Morales at her Moreno Valley home.
Deputies called to the scene found her body on a staircase.
She had been set on fire, but four of her younger children had doused the flames before help arrived, they said.
Family members told investigators that Morales, 35, had at least a three-year relationship with Harts, but they recently separated and he had moved out of her home, according to officials.
Scientology's ugly truths revealed
Tampabay.com
Tue, 04 Aug 2009 06:49 UTC
Scientology calls itself a religion and claims to offer purpose and meaning to its members. Yet for some who worked in the church's militaristic Sea Organization, Scientology provided something different: physical punishment, humiliation, beatings, sleep deprivation, and long and ruinous separation from loved ones.
The stories of 11 former staffers, reported in a St. Petersburg Times special report Sunday, are told with such detail and emotional heft that the church's official denials of abuse ring hollow.
It takes courage to challenge the Church of Scientology, which has long pursued and attempted to destroy its critics. Yet now 15 former Sea Org members have gone on the record with their stories of abuse during years of working at or near the church's top management. Four of those, whose stories were related in the Times' first special report in June, are the highest ranking officials ever to defect from Scientology.

GOP rams anti-union bill through Wisconsin Senate
Wisconsin GOP bypasses Dems, cuts collective bargaining

State Sen. Dale Schultz, R-Richland Center, says 'no' during a vote on the budget repair bill after a meeting of a state Legislature conference committee at the state Capitol in Madison, Wis., Wednesday evening, March 9, 2011. Senate Republicans used a procedural move on Wednesday to pass the proposal without the Democrats present. Schultz was the lone Republican voting against the bill.
Madison, Wisconsin - The Wisconsin Senate voted Wednesday night to strip nearly all collective bargaining rights from public workers, approving an explosive proposal that had rocked the state and unions nationwide after Republicans discovered a way to bypass the chamber's missing Democrats.
All 14 Senate Democrats fled to Illinois nearly three weeks ago, preventing the chamber from having enough members present to consider Gov. Scott Walker's "budget-repair bill" - a proposal introduced to plug a $137 million budget shortfall.
The Senate requires a quorum to take up any measures that spend money. But Republicans on Wednesday separated from the legislation the proposal to curtail union rights, which spends no money, and a special committee of lawmakers from both the Senate and Assembly approved the bill a short time later.
UK: Victims' Concerns Put London 9/11 Sculpture on Hold
Michelle Martin
Plans to erect a sculpture in a London park using girders salvaged from New York's World Trade Center, which was destroyed in attacks on September 11, 2001, have been put on hold after victims' families complained.
The memorial, designed by Japanese-Russian artist Miya Ando, was to be crafted from twisted shards of steel ranging between 5 and 8 meters (yards) in height, standing in a pool with lights.
"It is my hope that by standing upright the fallen steel columns, I may evoke a quiet yet strong message of transcendence and the role of education in the growth of hope from tragedy," New York-based Ando said in a statement submitted with the planning application.
London's Southwark Council approved the plans last December and the sculpture was due to be inaugurated in London's Potters Fields Park this September to accompany an educational program and commemorate the 10th anniversary of the attacks by suicide hijackers who flew two planes into the World Trade Center, killing nearly three thousand people.
Trustees of the 9/11 London Project Foundation -- the educational charity which commissioned the sculpture -- on Wednesday said they had decided to extend a consultation period for the artwork after "significant concerns" were raised, especially by British families.
