Fuji Absolute 1.1 - Road Bikes and Much More.
Fuji Absolute's geometry strikes a balance between speed and comfort, making it great for the fitness-minded rider, or the urbanite looking to ride to work or run errands. Its A2-SL aluminum frame provides the right amount of stiffness for efficiency, with compliance built into key areas for all-day comfort. Its carbon fork keeps you on track with lightweight vibration damping to reduce upper body fatigue, while its aluminum wheels keep the rolling weight low and easily handle rough roads. You'll barely notice hilly terrain thanks to a wide-range Shimano 105 drivetrain, a smooth-operating workhorse gear set that won't let you down. Powerful Tektro hydraulic disc brakes give you the ultimate in confidence with all-weather braking and easy, one-finger actuation. And, comfort comes standard on the Absolute, thanks to touch points outfitted by Oval Concepts and Selle Royal.


Geodesic regression generalizes linear regression to general Riemannian manifolds. Applied to images, it allows for a compact approximation of an image time-series through an initial image and an initial momentum. Geodesic regression requires the definition of a squared residual (squared distance) between the regression geodesic and the measurement images. In principle, this squared distance should also be defined through a geodesic connecting an image on the regression geodesicto its respective measurement. However, in practice only standard registration distances (such as sum of squared distances) are used, to reduce computation time. This paper describes a simplified geodesic regression method which approximates the registration-based distances with respect to a fixed initial image. This results in dramatically simplified computations. In particular, the method becomes straightforward to implement using readily available large displacement diffeomorphic metric mapping (LDDMM) shooting algorithms and decouples the problem into pairwise image registrations allowing parallel computations. We evaluate the approach using 2D synthetic images and real 3D brain images.


Management of Natura 2000 forests triggers numerous professional conflicts. In order to better understand issues and to get closer to their solution, roundtables will be organised for forest managers and nature conservation experts, where stakeholders can get to know each others' viewpoint and share experience. It is not our goal to reach consensus, but we would welcome if viewpoints would approach each other or event to reach consensus.
The experts from forest authorities, national parks and forest mangement companies are invited directly for the roundtable events.
The first roundtable is scheduled for September 2015, and we expect 10 events until the end of 2016 across Hungary. We are going to inform the public about these events on our website.

At the Center or Cosmetic and Sedation Dentistry, we always make every attempt to save your teeth. Unfortunately, in some cases damage to teeth is so advanced that is requires extraction in order to maintain dental health.
Your comfort is our primary goal. We do simple extractions as well as surgical extractions of badly decayed teeth or impacted wisdom teeth. Most people have their wisdom teeth removed in their late teens. Dr. Nurani has many years of experience in the removal of wisdom teeth. We offer sedation dentistry which allows our patients to rest comfortably during their procedure.
It is important to replace the missing teeth with a dental bridge, dental implant or partials to avoid the problem caused by shifting teeth. We believe in educating our patients about their choices so they can decide what's right for them. Our doctors and staff can help you with any choice you make.
"What a lovely practice! My husband was seen because of some pain from his wisdom teeth. We hadn't planned to have them taken out the same day, but they were ready to accommodate and get him out of pain! Dr Kallu and Heather were very professional and had his teeth out in 10 minutes or less. Stephanie from up front was helpful with getting us set up for the best fitting financial option. Heather even called the day after to check on him. Great service!"

Just a quick note on this film which I caught up on for my New Year's resolution. It's clearly aimed at children, and if you judge it with that in mind, it's no doubt an excellent film. It follows Tove Jansson's Moomin characters, particularly the hippopotamus-like creatures of that name (as well as some ancillary ones), as they travel to the French riviera from their unspecified northern land. The themes gently incorporate critiques of celebrity culture and vapid self-centredness (predictably focused around the young female Snorkmaiden), and on the overvaluation of the art market, amongst other things. The film is made in a rather quaintly old-fashioned animation style, with a voice cast erring towards the undemonstrative (at least in the English version), and moves at a less hectic pace than many modern animated films. If anything, it brings to mind (for me at least) fondly-remembered television cartoons from my childhood. There's only the tiniest hint of darkness around the edges (focused most of all on the gleefully anarchic Little My character), meaning that it may come across as just a little too anodyne for adults, but for the most part Moomins on the Riviera is a warm and loving evocation of these characters.

Unter Topfzeit versteht man die Verarbeitbarkeitsdauer von reaktiven Materialien, z. B. Klebstoff. Sie wird bisweilen auch Gebrauchsdauer genannt. Es ist also die Zeit zwischen dem Anmischen einer mehrkomponentigen Substanz und dem Ende ihrer Verarbeitbarkeit, also die Zeitspanne, in der sich die Substanz noch aus dem Topf nehmen und verarbeiten lässt. Meist zeigt sich das Ende der Topfzeit durch deutlichen Viskositätsanstieg, der eine weitere Verarbeitung verhindert.

Die Topfzeit ist von den chemischen Eigenschaften der Substanz und von den Umweltbedingungen abhängig. So ist die Angabe der Topfzeit eines Stoffes (z. B. eines Klebstoffs) nur sinnvoll und aussagekräftig mit zusätzlicher Angabe der Menge, Durchmischung, Umgebungsklima (Temperatur und Feuchte) und Gefäßform. Die Topfzeit steht meist in direktem Zusammenhang zur Gelzeit.

Sehr häufig wird fälschlicherweise der Begriff "Tropfzeit" verwendet, der suggeriert, er rühre vom Viskositätsanstieg her, während dessen die Tropffähigkeit eines dünnflüssigen Stoffs abnimmt.

Die Topfzeit kommt zur Anwendung bei (Auswahl):

 Klebstoffen
 Kunstharzen
 Lacken

North and South America linked up 10 million years earlier than thought: study
Illustration of North and South America (Shutterstock)
North and South America joined together between 13 and 15 million years ago -- some 10 million years earlier than scientists previously thought, a new study said Thursday.
The two continents were once separated by a deep strait called the Central American Seaway that at some point morphed into a land bridge -- the Panama arc.
Previous research had found the hook-up happened about three million years ago.
But boreholes drilled in northwestern Colombia uncovered minerals from a far earlier period that could only have come from Panama, said the new study in the journal Science.
It dated the Panamanian rocks to at least 13 million years ago, during the Middle Miocene period.
If that finding is confirmed, it could cause scientists to rethink much of their current understanding of far more recent changes to ocean circulation patterns and the global climate, said Science's editors.
Previously, scientists had explained Arctic glaciation and the migration of species from one continent to the other -- both of which began about three million years ago, during the Plio-Pleistocene period -- as a consequence of the Central American Seaway's closure.
But Colombian geologist Camilo Montes, the lead author of the study, said his team's analysis of the rocks in the Colombian departments of Antioquia and Cordoba left little room for doubt.
"If that fingerprint is there, it's because Panama had already arrived," Montes told AFP.
"We're not saying the biotic interchange (species migration) didn't happen, or that it happened at another time. Same for glaciation, which began three million years ago, without a doubt. What we're saying is that the formation of the Isthmus of Panama has nothing to do, or much less to do, with these phenomena than we previously thought."

This small campground is nestled along the shores of Lake of the Woods. A boat launch lets you access superb fishing throughout the year. June is the best time to try your hand at landing a monster walleye. Or have a winter adventure on the ice looking for a northern pike catch of a life time.
The campground has 26 basic sites in a beautiful setting. Pick a lakefront site for a view of the moon rising over the lake as frogs call in the background. During the day, take a stroll in the campground amongst cedar and willow as you look for wild cucumber.


Like many fighting game franchises, Street Fighter has a diverse universe of both playable and background characters waiting in the wings to join the roster. While we currently know who will do so in Street Fighter V's first year, there's still a ridiculous number of candidates who could possibly be given a shot in the future.
CFN Portal, which serves as the official Capcom Fighters Network website, recently published a number of columns discussing characters who didn't make the cut in Street Fighter V, along with concept art that shows how their designs may have been updated for the new installment. These include returning characters like Sagat, Adon, and Gen; classic cast members like Lee, Geki, and Retsu; popular family members like Ken's wife and child; and even alternate versions of current faces, like a younger Birdie and a heel version of Nadeshiko that apparently has it out for R. Mika.
Oh, and, Max and Scott are the official names for the two dudes featured in Street Fighter II's iconic intro. After all these years, Capcom has identified them. Crazy!
We've include a massive gallery below depicting this art in all its glory, with our best guesses as to who each character is. If we made a mistake, be sure to let us know in the comments and we'll get it fixed up as soon as possible. For now, feel free to sound off on who your favorites are and cross your fingers these concepts won't go to waste.


Jamie Keddie, author of Bringing Online Video into the Classroom, looks at the benefits of handing over control of the video camera to students. Jamie will be hosting a webinar on this topic on 15th and 16 April.
Anyone who is involved in rail transport will know that stopping trains at stations wastes time, energy and money. Unfortunately, it is also necessary to let passengers on and off! Today, your students are highly-creative problem solvers. Their task is to work in small groups to design a high-speed train which doesn't have to stop at stations, but which still allows passengers to alight and disembark.
After sharing ideas and reaching a consensus, each group prepares to present their solution to the rest of the class. This involves creating diagrams to reinforce ideas. When they give their presentations, you sit at the back of the classroom and film their performances.
Filming presentations and other performances can be a great way to motivate students and document their work. However, in the activity described above, the technology stayed firmly in the teacher's hands. The result of this could be missed opportunities for student creativity, interaction, and learning.
By giving control of the video cameras to students, the activity could have been completely different. Rather than the traditional speaking-at-the-front-of-the-class format, groups of students could find their own quiet corners (either in or out of the classroom) and work together to create a video in which individuals communicate their group's idea to the camera. The resulting videos can then be delivered to the teacher and later played on the classroom projector for everyone to see and comment on.
In many situations, students will come to class with video cameras already in their hands! Smartphones and tablet computers both have video-recording functions which are perfectly adequate for the classroom.
If students make use of their own video devices, the filming process can extend to outside the classroom. Assignments in which students create videos for homework become possible.
Speaking English in class can be stressful enough for many students. When the teacher points a video camera at such learners, the experience can be even more intimidating. The camera may be less daunting in the hands of a classmate.
If students control the technology, they can get creative. For example, they may want to think carefully about the filming location or props to include in the frame. They may also want to edit their work, include close-ups of visuals, decide what to leave in, decide what to take out, add credits, etc. In addition, with control of the technology, students can go at their own pace. They can film as and when they are ready. They can also do more than one 'take' in order to get the result that they are looking for.
Digital content is notoriously 'slippery'. It does not deteriorate with time and can easily fall into unintended hands. Understandably, students may be concerned about what happens to videos that you create in the classroom. When students make use of their own video devices, they automatically become owners of the content. This can make the process less intimidating. In addition, if you would like students to share their videos online, they can choose to do so on their preferred video-sharing site.
Permission to film younger learners and teens can be easier to obtain if we can demonstrate to parents that we want them to make use of their own video-recording devices in and out of the classroom. As well as the ownership issue mentioned above, we can ask parents to take an active role in the video production process. For example, if we want students to upload their work, parents could monitor video content first before giving the go-ahead.
Perhaps the most important point to make! Tablets and smartphones can be regarded as all-in-one devices. Students can use them to create, edit and share video. There is no need to transfer video files from one machine to another (camera to computer, for example), a potentially time-consuming step that many teachers will be familiar with.
For some inexplicable reason, most teenagers that I have worked with engage better with video presentations than with live classroom presentations (see image above). With students' attention, we can make use of the pause and rewind buttons for language feedback. This can include drawing attention to good language and communication, and error correction.
To find out more about using video in the classroom, register for Jamie's webinar on 15th and 16th April.

SARMS, or Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators, are a group of unique androgen receptors that are purported to be similar to anabolic steroids in their action, yet far more "selective." What this means, according to proponents of SARMs, is that the products have a tissue-selective action in the body which allow them to provide the benefits of an anabolic steroid without the side effects.
What's the Problem with Ostarine?
In recent years, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has reported an increasing number of positive tests involving Ostarine, a popular brand of SARM, even though only illegal products carry it, and Ostarine is not currently available as a prescription medication in the U.S. or any other country. Many of these positive tests are likely due to supplement contamination, as manufacturers have been accused of illegally adding Ostarine and other SARMs to their products. Some companies have even been caught omitting Ostarine from their products' labeling entirely, and/or using misleading names to confuse consumers.
The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in Dec. 2017 raided the California headquarters of Enhanced Athletes looking for ostarine (popular brand of SARM), 2,4-Dinitrophenol (DNP) and other research chemicals. The agency seized hundreds of thousands of dollars in SARMs, raw materials, and finished and unfinished products, according to Enhanced Athletes CEO Scott Cavell.
Although we are a nationally recognized class action firm, the Pharmaceutical Litigation Group at our law firm has decided against the filing of a SARMs class action suit, and is currently filing individual claims on behalf of injured individuals and/or their family members who had serious side effects after taking SARMs. Our lawyers decided on this course of action as it has been our experience that involvement in class action lawsuits can be a determinant in this and many other types of litigation. We believe that individual suits are a much better platform to ensure maximum payout and the greatest degree of control to each of our clients over their own case. Contact us today to learn more about your legal rights.

The 21 Best Things To Do in Dallas This Week, Jan. 6 – 12
Stage West's Ada and the Engine Is a Romance With Mathematics
Arlington Native Todrick Hall Talks First Loves and Why YouTube Is a Young Gay Man's Best Asset
Paige Skinner
Paige Skinner | December 13, 2017 | 2:12pm
Texas native and Arlington ISD graduate Todrick Hall got his start in entertainment on American Idol, where he made the semifinals, and went on to become a successful YouTube star.
His videos have gotten the attention of Beyonce and Taylor Swift. (He is one of Swift's backup dancers in her music video for "Look What You Made Me Do.") Recently, he made the transition to Broadway, performing as Lola in Kinky Boots and now as Billy Flynn in Chicago.
In summer 2016, Hall self-released his third album, Straight Outta Oz, a visual concept album that borrows imagery from The Wizard of Oz but tells the story of Hall's life. He went on tour to promote the album, bringing the videos to life onstage. Now he's on the road again promoting a documentary about the making of the album.
New Observer Music Editor Loves Taylor Swift. Oops.
Behind The Curtain: Todrick Hall will screen at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Texas Theatre, and Hall will stick around afterward to take questions. Before he made his way home to Dallas, we spoke with Hall over the phone about the documentary, his Broadway audition process and his first love.
So where do all of your crazy and creative ideas come from?
I honestly don't know where they come from. I'm always inspired, I'm always constantly out looking for inspiration from random things, and so I think that anything that I watch, it's just in my nature to look at something and not see it only for what it is but for what it could possibly be as well.
Do you get any ideas while you're sleeping or in the shower, or anywhere random?
Not usually while I'm sleeping, but when I'm in the shower that's where most of my songs and frankly most of this album was written. When I'm on long walks, when I'm driving or being driven around and looking at billboards and buildings and just scenery, being on tour in foreign countries. I'm just inspired by random things, and inspiration could strike at any moment.
In the documentary, you explain how you changed the entire album two weeks before it was released. Were you hesitant to make that decision?
There was a lot of hesitation, but I've learned over the past few years from my experiences on American Idol and doing Broadway that my instincts, if they're strong instincts, are never wrong. When my heart just tells me to do something, it's an undeniable thing. I can't ignore it.
And so it was just so important. It felt like something that I had to do. And also, over the past couple of years, I learned to always chase after things and do projects and make artistic choices that scared me. And because this made me feel unsettled, it was like, this could be controversial, this could be offensive to people, some of the language that I'm saying, words that I've never said before and lyrically ... and some of the subject matter are things that are very personal to me that I have never shared with my fan base.
And I thought, "If these people have been following me, some of them for close to a decade now, I think they deserve to know a little bit more about me, and I think sharing some very intimate moments of my life would definitely help some of these people who live similar lifestyles as me but maybe haven't been brave enough to come out to their parents or their family, or to really chase their dreams the way they would want to."
"Growing up, I remember being told what gay people were, or being told what other religions or other races were. But now, when I'm on YouTube, I have the ability to look at people and fall in love with people for who they are." – Todrick Hall
You speak a little bit about how people in Texas weren't very accepting of you being gay growing up. Do you think Texas has become an easier place to live as a gay person?
I think that the new generation of people is becoming more and more openminded. I love the fact that YouTube exists, specifically, because growing up, I remember being told what gay people were, or being told what other religions or other races were. But now, when I'm on YouTube, I have the ability to look at people and fall in love with people for who they are and not for the stereotypes that they are surrounded by.
And so I think it's really awesome because people can say all day long that gay, LGBTQ people are this and that type of person, but when a child goes online and they see someone like me, or [YouTubers] Joey Graceffa or Tyler Oakley or Connor Franta, and they say, well that's not the person that my parents or other people have tried to make me believe that they are. Then they're able to form their own opinion, and that way I think that we are going to eventually weed out what essentially is just a bunch of hate. I think eventually, after one more generation has gone, the world is going to be in a much better place because now everyone has a voice.
The internet has allowed people who would normally not have been heard to be able to speak their mind and to let other people know that it's OK, that even if mainstream media isn't representing them, that there are other forms of media and other forms of entertainment that are representing them, and they can find people like them and sound like them and live similar lifestyles to them, and realize that there's a different type of success but still a very legitimate form of success that they can also achieve. And I just think that's so awesome.
And when I get to meet my fans and hear their stories of how my YouTube channel has inspired them to come out of the closet because of this, and now they're the board member or they started an LGTB organization at their school because of my YouTube channel, that makes me so happy. It makes it all worthwhile, and it's the reason why I started to make YouTube videos, to be able to touch people's lives.
I can't believe that you never actually sent in your audition tape for Kinky Boots. I saw you in Kinky Boots, by the way, and you were incredible.
Thank you! Thank you.
Were you surprised when you did get the role?
I was surprised, actually. You know what? It's really crazy because my fans always talk to me about how my channel has inspired them so much, and how my bravery or my courage or just my, you know, all of the things that I exude is just so much confidence. I'm literally one of the most nonconfident people in the world.
Oh, please.
When I was on Broadway, and that's hard for people to believe sometimes, but I'm really not, I just have a very good poker face. I would have never gone in to audition for Kinky Boots because I wouldn't be able to do that every day, or I wouldn't be able to sing those songs. I had never sung anything in those ranges. I remember trying to reach Billy Porter notes when I was working at Six Flags Over Texas and the fact that I was taking over a role that he won a Tony award for and doing it eight shows a week on Broadway was so overwhelming for me that I can't ever remember ever, a single time in my life, that I have been as nervous as I was the opening night of Kinky Boots.
But I proved so much to myself, that I can do things when I just push myself and challenge myself. And when I was in the situation and had to do it, I did 155 performances of Kinky Boots. I'm just so proud of that, and it has let me know that I can take on other roles. Playing Billy Flynn in Chicago on Broadway is a huge challenge for me because I'm so used to wearing a wig and heels, and makeup and earrings, that to play a man onstage, which is what I strongly identify as, is very foreign to me. But it's a challenge, and it scares me every night, and so that's what I am so happy that I'm doing. And the cast has been so amazingly welcoming, and I'm just having the time of my life, to be honest.
In the documentary you appear not just as a singer, dancer, YouTuber and Broadway performer, but also as a leader to all of the people you employ for your YouTube videos. Does that role come naturally to you? And I would assume a lot of these people are your friends. Is that difficult?
It is difficult, but it's something that came natural to me. I always wanted to put on productions in high school. I used to get into arguments with the drama teachers at my school because they would be mad that people would be like, "I can't audition for your musical because I'm doing Todrick's musical." It was an issue that I had.
And I don't like to accept no for an answer. I remember trying to put on a production of The Wizard of Oz in high school, and one of my teachers called the rights company that owned the rights to the classic MGM 1939 production of The Wizard of Oz and basically told on me and told me that if I were to do that, I could be sued, and I literally had 50 cents to my name at that time.
So to most people that would be a sign to say, well, throw your cans out, throw in the towel and be done with it, but I found out that there was a loophole and that if you wrote a musical based on the book, you could do it all you wanted. And so then I decided to write music based on the book. And that's how I realized I could write songs.
So if someone tells me no, that's the best ammunition for me to blow it out of the water and say yes. All I need is for someone to tell me no, it is not possible, it can't happen, and then I'm going to go make it happen. That's just how I am. That's just how I'm wired.
How did your boyfriend at the time of the documentary feel about you talking so passionately about your first love? Was that awkward at all?
It was a little awkward because that song specifically is my favorite song I've ever written in my entire life. And when I finished singing it, I felt so vain because I played it over and over and over again, not because I just thought my voice was so amazing, but because I was like, Todrick, you have to, I love this song. It was like someone else had written this song for me.
That was the first time I went into something saying, this is how I want this song to make me feel, and it made me feel exactly how I wanted to feel. And it was weird for me to perform that song onstage every night and kiss another guy around him because he was a very, I don't want to say jealous, but very territorial of me. And I love him, and we're still very, very close. We're not dating right now.
But I still love him, and we could get back together. So maybe by the time this article comes out, we might be engaged, you never know with me. But it was just a really, really crazy experience. And I wanted to make sure I captured it accurately. And it was difficult for him, and it still really is difficult for him. But you'll always love that person that you fell in love with first. There's nothing that will ever compare to that.
If someone says the name "Gareth" to me or around me, or I see a picture of him or hear someone say, "I know him." I was at Chick-fil-A the other day, and someone said, "I worked with Gareth on a cruise ship," and my heart immediately melted. And not because I want to be with him again, but I just love him, I always will, and there's no way I won't be able to feel that way, I don't think ever.
Any chance Gareth will show up on Wednesday at Texas Theatre? Does he live around here?
No, I think he's on cruise ship. He's British, so he's not American. And he would never; he's engaged, and his boyfriend would not let him. But I'm hoping that one day we will bury the hatchet and it will eventually happen.
He has an amazing fiancé who's really super talented and really good looking, not as good looking as me, obviously, but he'll do. But I'm hoping that one day we can all have a double date and hang out because I would love to meet his new fiancé and I would love to see him again. That would be crazy; it's been over two years since I've seen him. So it would just be awesome to catch up.
Will you meet fans after the screening?
Yes. Yes, I'm going to be taking pictures with fans, I'm going to be answering questions and doing a Q&A afterwards, and I'm going to probably head to whatever the closest Waffle House is to the Texas Theatre, and that's where I'll be afterwards because that's just my tradition. Every time I'm in Dallas, I go to Waffle House after the show.
7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 13, Texas Theatre, 231 Jefferson Blvd., $15, thetexastheatre.com.

It can be tempting to abandon your training and regular diet during Ramadan - but this can really set your progress back. Instead, planning ahead with your diet and being smart with your training program can help maintain your hard-earned progress and put you in a good position for when Ramadan ends.
The first thing to remember is that it's important to continue training during Ramadan - don't use it as an excuse to let your regular training routine slip. However, it is likely that your output and performance in the gym will be reduced, so for many gym-goers, Ramadan is about maintaining their strength and muscle mass. If a client hasn't trained for a few weeks, we often advise lowering their weights by 10% - this is a sensible approach to take during Ramadan too.
Aim for a minimum of three resistance training workouts a week. You can train more frequently, but we recommend limiting each session to 45 minutes. Maintaining your muscle mass and strength is a lot easier than trying to build muscle during the month of fasting, so don't be afraid to decrease your volume and shorten your workouts - you can still get a lot done in 45 minutes.
The best time to train is after breaking the fast in the evening. Sometimes training so late in the evening isn't always ideal, particularly during the working week. If this is the case, try timing your workout schedule so two workouts fall on weekend days where you can stay up later without worrying about being tired for work. You may also need to find a late-night or 24-hour gym if your gym doesn't have extended hours during Ramadan.
Ramadan can actually be an opportune time to introduce new exercises into your training program. Normally, it can be frustrating trying new exercises as it can mean having to lift lighter weights than your muscles can handle while you master the technique. But adding new movements into your program during Ramadan means you can start off lifting lighter, focus on technique, and still feel like you're progressing.
Don't worry if your strength drops during the first week - however, if it continues to drop, your approach to training and nutrition may need altering. It is therefore important to have a set training program to follow - you cannot monitor your progress if you're changing up your workout every few days. Always keep detailed records of every workout. Documenting your progress means you can learn from the experience and refine your approach.
When training, avoid training to failure and pushing yourself too hard. Stop one to two reps short of failure on each set. It's wise to remove any intense cardio or conditioning exercises from your program during the month. Focus on your daily activity levels and hitting a step target instead.
Nutrition is especially important during Ramadan. Don't let your diet go out the window - plan ahead and try to stick to your regular eating habits as much as possible. Even with the large fasting window, it can still be possible to overeat during Ramadan with calorie-dense foods. If you want to maintain muscle mass, it's important to ensure you are consuming sufficient protein alongside your resistance training. If you do have fat loss goals, use Ramadan to practice tracking your nutrition and preparing meals. You will then be ready to start your fat loss diet after Ramadan finishes. Consuming enough calories may be a problem if you have a high 'maintenance' calorie requirement. If this is the case, try to stop your daily calorie consumption dropping too low and ensure your protein intake is sufficient.
Drinking plenty of water is critical following the lengthy fasting window where dehydration can set in. This is even more important if you are training. Fill up a large bottle of water and aim to drink it every evening. Ensure you drink plenty of water before, during and after any workouts, and monitor your urine colour to test your hydration status. You should always aim to drink enough water for your urine to be clear. You can also use an electrolyte supplement to help replace any minerals lost through sweat.
A little consistency and forward planning with your diet and training can go a long way to maintaining your health and fitness.


Approximately 12% of males 15-24 years of age and 17% of females are illiterate. Reflecting even worse literacy rates in past generations, the overall adult literacy rate is only 73%.
While nearly all Guatemalan children enroll in primary school, the attendance ratio is less than 80% and only approximately 62% are still in school at grade six. Approximately 25% of the student-age population finish middle school equivalent and only about 11% finish the equivalent of high school. These percentages are lower in the rural areas, especially in certain indigenous communities.
In theory the government provides primary and secondary education for free. In practice, parents or students have to pay for uniforms, school books, school supplies and any needed transportation.
Many middle class and even poorer families opt for their children to attend private schools if they are available and affordable.
Widespread primary and secondary education are critical to a country's progress in many other areas including the economy, technology, health, literature and culture. Advance Guatemala is committed to assisting education programs that will prepare students to be able to significantly contribute to the betterment of their country.

Q: How to handle a wp8 and a wp8.1 in the app store A user recently reported a problem in regards to not being able to answer "quizzes" in some of the web pages I display in my app. The first thing that popped to mind was that it could be a bug with my app, a bug with the web browser control or some unreliable CSS & Javascript code provided in the web pages.
After investigating it some more i.e. tried it on my web browser on pc in mobile mode and tried it in the regular browser, I noticed that it worked as expected, so I thought it was fair to assume that it wasn't the web pages that were the problem. So it left my app or the web browser control as potential problem.
My app was originally created as a windows phone app for Windows Phone 8 so it would be compatible with both windows phone 8.0 and windows phone 8.1 but to my surprise, after taking a backup and then converting my app from 8.0 to 8.1 the problem got resolved which means that the bug must be coming from the web control itself rather than in my code.
I don't know how popular these questionaires/quizzes are but so far that seems to be the only thing that's affecting the app in regards to web pages, so what do I do?
Now, to my questions (sorry for the long history!):

*

*Will a WP Silverlight 8.1 app work on both Windows Phone 8.0 and 8.1? Sorry if it's a silly question but I've got to ask. If it will, please ignore the other questions.

*Should I leave the app as a Windows Phone 8.0 app as it could be affecting a minority of users that want to answer questionnaires/quizzes?

*Upgrade the app to Windows Phone 8.1? Not everyone is on 8.1 or 8.1 preview for developers, so this could be a problem??

*Upload 2 different versions? Maybe specifically name them as app 8.0 and app 8.1? Feels odd, no? This would also entail maintaining 2 different versions which is a complete pain or is there a better way to handle this i.e. Linked file in the second project?? I haven't checked yet what's changed between the 2. All I know for now is that once I converted my project from 8.0 to 8.1, it worked.

*Is there a way to upload both versions to the store as one app and will Windows Phone download the relevant version?
Thanks

A: Internet Explorer in Windows Phone 8.1 is newer, this is why it works better.
1) No.
2) No.
3) Yes.
4) Yes. You can link files from the one project to another (use add as link feature in Visual Studio).
5) Yes. Windows Phone store can handle 7.5, 8 and 8.1 version very well.

The first transamerica trail bicyclist have made it into Elkhorn City. I have been looking out for them all month. Two fellows headed to San Francisco got into town late on March 30, 2011. I also keep a count of the total that come thru town each year. Last, year the count was 754. I only count them if I see them so the total number has to be greater than 754.
Generally, we start seeing bicyclist around mid March of each year. It also seems to coincide with the Bradford Pears blossoming each year. The cyclist travel along the Trans America 1976 Bicycle trial which was developed in 1976 to celebrate our country's 200th birthday, or Bikecentennial. Since then, thousands of cyclists have ridden this 4,200 mile route between Virginia and Oregon along America's back roads. The Trail is noted for its focus on America's heartland, scenic diversity, and historical interest.

Tiffany Cromwell 9th at Australian road race titles
Tiffany Cromwell finished 9th in the Australian national championship road race. The 102km course was made tough in hot and windy conditions with ten ascents of the Mt Buninyong climb. A three rider break formed after 20km and it was Orica-Scott who eventually forced a selection of riders, without Cromwell. that would go across to the break to fight for the green and gold jersey. The podium results were Katrina Garfoot and Amanda Spratt (GEW) with Lucy Kennedy from Queensland in third.
After the race Cromwell said: "I felt good at the start although I came into the nationals this year still in my building period. I tried to put myself into the race at the start, and either make the break or go with it. I had nothing to lose."
"When the break went and it had Shara Gillow and Ellen Skerritt there with one Orica rider it was quite a good situation still for me because it forced Orica to use some energy to get another rider up there. Garfoot who drove it several times on the climb to bring the break back and I was able to go with it the first few times but I don't have that continual high intensity at the moment and couldn't go with the final selection. After that I tried to make something to bridge across but it became a U23 race in my group and the best I could do was sprint for 9th."
Cromwell will now go into her hometown race Santos Women's Tour in Adelaide starting Saturday 14 January, where her European team mates will join her to form a strong line up. "Santos Women's Tour will be a completely different race. Like I said my general fitness is good but it's just that little bit of high intensity that is lacking. I'm confident that I can do something good in Adelaide and we'll be looking to win a stage or two at least. We can't wait to race."


Carbon nanotubes have unique electronic and mechanical properties, for instance high electron mobility and mechanical strength exceeding that of steel. Depending on the arrangement of carbon atoms, given by the index (n,m), they can be metallic or semiconducting. By resonant Raman scattering we can identify the (n,m) present in a sample.
Currently we are interested in functionalized nanotubes and how to control the optical and electronic properties by functionalization. Another project aims at understanding the non-luminescent excitonic states in carbon nanotubes.
Graphene is a graphite sheet, i.e. a single layer of carbon atoms. This newly available material forms an ideal two-dimensional crystal. From graphene one can fabricate narrow stripes, so-called nanoribbons. They are one-dimensional structures with their properties depending on the width. We study their optical and vibrational properties by Raman scattering and by DFT calculations.
Tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) is a novel experimental method that we are currently setting up. In contrast to micro-Raman spectroscopy, the spatial resolution is expected to decrease below the optical diffraction limit. The setup consists of an atomic force microscope (AFM) and a Raman spectrometer. If the metal tip of the AFM is brought close to the sample surface inside the laser focal spot, the incident electric field is locally enhanced. The spatial resolution of the enhanced Raman signal is then determined by the size of the tip.

Another Food Processing Plant Shutters Operations, Adding to Long List of Closures
July 22, 2022 Winter Watch Around the Web, Business, US News 1
By Tyler Durden | 28 June 2022
ZERO HEDGE — A top food processing plant will be closing down one of its facilities in Campbell County, Tennessee, adding to the long list of closures over the last year.
George's Prepared Foods announced its chicken processing plant in the small town of Caryville would be shuttering operations by the end of the summer.
The reason for the closure was not disclosed and has caught local officials by surprise. Campbell County Mayor E.L. Morton told local news WVLT that he's trying to keep the plant open to save hundreds of jobs.
"I have contacted the Tennessee Economic and Community Development staff to request assistance in keeping the plant open or facilitating a sale to another operator
"I have requested Governor Lee's assistance as well. My primary concern is for the welfare of the dedicated workers who have been the backbone of this operation. Our prayers go out to them as well as our very best efforts to keep them employed in Campbell County," Morton said.
Senior Vice President of George's Food, Robert George, released a statement about the closure, citing it's "a challenging time to be in the prepared foods business, and we have been carefully evaluating how we navigate the volatility in beef and pork markets." […]

Its all part of the great reset plan. Bill Gates does not want us eating meat because he knows meat and meat fat increased the size and capacity of the human brain. He is buying up all the farm land so all foods for us goy peons will be worthless. Since he and his cronies own all the money it is easy to force small business to sell, like what happened to small businesses using covid. People better start raising their own chickens…

Forced Pregnancy In America
Posted by Bill O'Neill | Sep 1, 2014 | Newsletter | 0 |
The Freedom and Liberty of Women, meaning each individual woman has been under attack in America since Roe v. Wade in 1973. Unfortunately Roe did not go anywhere near ruling on the fundamental issues of Freedom and Liberty even though the opinion itself went back to the time of Hippocrates 2,500 years ago.
One of the errors in Roe was the failure to use the 13th Amendment against "Involuntary Servitude" except by government to punish violators for crimes, to support abortion. Involuntary Servitude includes Slavery. Both involve illicit control of and over an individual. The reduction of a pregnant woman to a slave consists of controlling her body during the pregnancy and of her life after it. Forcing the continuation of a pregnancy upon a woman is a age-old practice that today still exists in America. It is the illicit use of force against a woman. It is against nature; it's unconstitutional and it's opposes the wish and will of the pregnant woman.
Slavery and Involuntary servitude are legal terms for a person laboring against that person's will to benefit another. When a pregnant woman is prohibited from getting an abortion she must be prevented by fraud, coercion or force. No one has to touch her to deprive her of her right to not be a slave.
The brazen radicals who demand a women must remain pregnant against her will, desire or pleasure, managed to get enough immoral power to achieve partial success by making abortion a religious issue and then claiming woman who have abortions are immoral because they violate their conclusion. Somehow they also claim some kind of superior wisdom, the basis of which is known by them alone. They use that faux knowledge to intellectually and on occasion physically bludgeon others into forcing woman who want an abortion to remain pregnant. What could be more hideous; more punitive and more immoral except to murder the pregnant woman?
If the life of a fetus is more important than the life of a pregnant woman, the fetus is in control of the body of the pregnant woman. That's part of the motive of the radicals who claim a fetus is a person. They even have the temerity to speak for God as though they are in secret communication with the supernatural. Hogwash. Other radicals claim God has informed them a fertilized egg is a person.
If the body of a pregnant woman is under the control of anything or anyone else she is in a state of slavery. In the case of forcing a woman to remain pregnant, regardless of the reason proffered, the woman in in the condition identified as Involuntary Servitude which condition is proscribed by the 13th Amendment. That's the immoral basis of the crowd which wants to force pregnancy upon a woman. How disgusting they are. How against the natural order they are. How against women in general they are.

Il fiume Moei (, trascrizione IPA: ; in birmano: သောင်ရင်းမြစ်; in lingua karen s'gaw: Vသူမွဲကျိ) è un affluente del fiume Saluen e per la maggior parte del suo corso segna la frontiera tra la Thailandia e la Birmania.

Geografia
Il fiume è lungo 327 km e nasce nel distretto di Phop Phra della provincia di Tak, in Thailandia, sulle pendici meridionali dei monti Thanon Thong Chai. Pochi chilometri dopo diventa il confine tra la Thailandia e la Birmania e scorre con un percorso particolarmente tortuoso verso nord-nord-ovest. La stretta valle del Moei si sviluppa tra la catena dei Thanon Thong Chai sul versante thailandese a est e la catena dei Dawna sul versante birmano a ovest. Sul lato birmano si trova il distretto di Myawaddy dello Stato Karen, mentre sul lato thailandese dopo il distretto di Phop Phra entra nel distretto di Mae Sot. Bagna le periferie delle città di Myawaddy e Mae Sot, tra le quali vi è uno dei più importanti valichi di confine tra i due Paesi. Tra le due città fu inaugurato nel 1997 il ponte dell'amicizia Thai-Myanmar, il primo ponte che attraversava il fiume; la struttura si sarebbe rivelata insufficiente per la grande mole di traffico e nel 2019 venne aperto il secondo ponte dell'amicizia Thai-Myanmar, in prossimità del primo.

Proseguendo verso nord entra nel distretto di Mae Ramat per poi passare nel distretto di Tha Song Yang in Thailandia; in corrispondenza del confine tra questi due distretti, sul lato birmano lascia il distretto di Myawaddy ed entra nel distretto di Hpapun. Riceve quindi da destra le acque del fiume Yuam, che segna il confine tra la provincia di Tak e la provincia di Mae Hong Son, e il Moei passa così nel distretto di Sop Moei. Sette chilometri dopo affluisce nel Saluen, che verso nord costituisce a sua volta la linea di confine tra Birmania e Thailandia. Dal punto di confluenza, posto al confine tra il distretto di Sop Moei e gli Stati birmani Karen e Kayah, il Saluen entra in Birmania.

Fauna ittica
Tra le molte specie di pesci che popolano le acque del Moei si trova la Sperata seenghala, detto in inglese Giant river-catfish, un pesce della famiglia Bagridae che raggiunge in questa regione 1 metro di lunghezza.

Frontiera thai-birmana sul fiume

A parte il breve tratto iniziale che scorre in Thailandia, il resto del fiume segna la linea di confine tra Birmania e Thailandia. A causa dell'asprezza delle montagne che lo sovrastano, le rive del Moei sono difficilmente raggiungibili dalla Birmania e vi hanno spesso trovato riparo le milizie dell'etnia karen in lotta contro il governo birmano per l'indipendenza. Il fiume è stato spesso teatro di sanguinosi scontri tra queste milizie e l'esercito birmano. Molti karen si sono rifugiati a Mae Sot, dove sono stati aperti centinaia di sweatshop e aziende agricole in cui questi emigrati, molti dei quali illegali, senza permesso di lavoro e bambini lavoratori, sono stati sfruttati e costretti a vivere in condizioni di estrema miseria dai thailandesi. Con il rilassamento delle tensioni etniche in Birmania agli inizi del XXI secolo, molti degli emigrati hanno fatto ritorno alle loro terre dopo aver pagato ingenti somme di denaro ai trafficanti di esseri umani. Altri traffici illegali che attraversano il fiume sono quelli di metanfetamina e sigarette prodotte in Birmania, e di valuta.

Huge majority supports renewables over coal even at greater cost
By Nick O'Malley
Australians overwhelmingly believe that the government should focus on renewable energy over coal-fired power plants, even if such a measures were to cost more, the 2018 Lowy Institute's annual poll on Australian attitudes has found.
When asked if the government should focus on renewables "even if this means we may need to invest more" or traditional energy "even if this means the environment may suffer to some extent" 84 per cent of respondents opted for renewables. Last year the figure was 81 per cent.
The poll also found that the number of Australians who believe that global warming is a "serious and pressing belief" has climbed to 59 per cent, up five percentage points since last year up and 23 points since 2012. Concern about global warming is now as high as it was back in 2006, the previous peak.
This jump in concern about climate change represents the most significant change in opinion ever found by the poll in its 14 years. It also found Australians consider climate change to be the third most significant national security threat after international terrorism and the North Korean nuclear program.

The Lowy Institute's director of research, Alex Oliver, said she believed that Australians' concern about climate change began to fall when key pieces of legislation were introduced by the Rudd government to combat it, but when they saw those policies being dismantled, concern for the issue began to grow again.
Ms Oliver said she had presumed that the government's fierce support for coal power, particularly its call to keep the Liddell power station open, would see support for coal increase this year. Instead the government finds itself out of step with popular support for renewable energy.
According to the research even among those who were most sceptical of climate change - the 10 per cent who say they are sure it is not a problem - 40 per cent still support a focus on renewables. Of the rest of the community, nine out of 10 support a focus on renewables over coal, as do 72 per cent of Liberal-National supporters.
The poll showed that the issue of climate change continues to divide the Australian community along generational lines.
A full 70 per cent of Australians between the ages of 18 and 44 see global warming as a serious and pressing issue, but only 49 per cent of people over that age do.
For this year's Lowy Institute poll 1200 respondents were conducted via telephone and online surveys.

PC Invasion's Best Games of 2017 – Peter's Picks
By Peter Parrish December 19, 2017 0
The readers have spoken in our mostly democratic PC Invasion Readers' Awards, so now it's our turn as staff to pick out some quality games of 2017. As ever, there's no official order to any of these. They're all just games we played in 2017 that we liked a lot. Maybe you'll like (or have liked) them too.
So, without wasting any more time, here are four good 'uns from this year. Plus a pair of honourable mentions. Links to reviews where applicable.
'Immersive sim' may be the least helpful genre term ever created, because rather than providing a shortcut to understanding like a useful piece of terminology ('first person shooter,' 'city builder') it just raises more questions. How am I supposed to convince people to play these games when the language is so obscure and offputting? What 'immersive sim' really means is "Did you play any of those Looking Glass Studios games in the 90s, you know, like Thief or System Shock? Remember how those games, and stuff inspired by them like Dishonored, have really superb world building and kind of gave you an RPG-like skill set to play around with in pretty open levels? Yeah, it's that." There has to be a better way to communicate those things.
Anyway, Prey is very much 'one of those'. Where Dishonored was (sort of) Arkane's interpretation of Thief, Prey is absolutely their version of System Shock 2. I mean, it's basically System Shock 3. At least until an actual System Shock 3 appears.
Like the best of its kind, Prey is one long exercise in encouraging you to break things. Break the path of progression. Break the rules the game appears to have set for you. The main action of the opening is breaking a window to reveal the truth of your situation. When it isn't subtly encouraging you to circumnavigate an area by building your own path with the excellent GLOO Gun, or making you wonder how the game will adapt to you killing an important NPC (just fine), Prey is keeping you nice and paranoid about harmless coffee cups. The Typhon enemies as a whole aren't the most inspiring bunch, but the item-copying Mimics do a fine job maintaining an isolated, almost survival horror vibe in the early part of the game.
Reported sales figures for Prey and Dishonored 2 make me a little worried for Arkane's future, and for the recent renaissance of 'immersive sims' in general. But if they really are going to become commercially unattractive again for a bit, at least this era has left us with some new classics.
It's pretty crazy how many individual gaming preferences of mine Night in the Woods managed to hit. Funny, vulnerable, real characters (Gregg is a fox who likes to wear cups on his ears and smash fluorescent tubing, and that's still roughly fifty seven times more authentic than any other videogame character). Themes of anxiety and late capitalist economic hellscape woes (one and the same, really) treated with nuance and an unromanticised straightforwardness. An outstanding score by Alec Holowka. And you play as a cat. With nightmare eyes.
Precious few games dare to risk their reputation for escapism by being about real, existential troubles. Night in the Woods shows you a structure crumbling to powder beneath the weight of its own contradictions, and it does so while managing to remain warm and fanciful throughout. Things are pretty shit, it says, but a better world is possible.
On the very day I'm writing this, the game is getting a free Weird Autumn update adding more quest bits, more songs, and more crimes. Play it. It's the best game on this list.
Total War: Warhammer 2
Creative Assembly's follow-up to Total War: Warhammer pretty much did what I'd expect a rapid-fire sequel (it came out a little over a year later) to do. Build on a few strengths of the original, make some quality of life changes, and get some new factions in there. As it happens, one of those factions (Dark Elves) is the one I spent most time with as a tabletop player, so being able to maraud through virtual Ulthuan was rather enjoyable. All four factions leaned harder into the special mechanics and unit diversity that have characterised Warhammer, and, a few undercooked aspects aside (that Geomantic Web is a bit dull, sorry Lizardmen), that felt pretty damn successful. It'll be interesting to see how much of this direction Creative Assembly opt to carry into their next historical project, Thrones of Britannia.
One significant difference here was the more experimental campaign conditions. I'm eager to see Total War games figure out a way to keep the end game relevant (rather than it being a procession as you power-snowball across the map), but the Vortex objectives don't feel like the final answer to that problem. Having to balance expansion to resource sites with regular defense of home turf is novel the first few times; it just brings a few issues of its own, like over-zealous Chaos stack spawns. Seeing one of the free DLC packages devoted to a few alternative victory conditions would be ideal.
So while Total War: Warhammer 2 was firmly in the territory of 'more Total War: Warhammer … but with a new map and factions this time,' that was broadly what I was looking for. The Total War formula shake-up happened with the first game, this second one is mostly a consolidation and minor expansion of those mechanics.
Future Unfolding
I'm always an easy mark for a game that purposefully designs its mechanics around discovery and experimentation. Toki Tori 2 is the easiest comparison here, but things like Dark Souls have more than a little of this approach to them too. Future Unfolding basically tells you nothing and drops you in a realm of forests, lakes, and rocky valleys. Here's a rabbit. Can you interact with it? What happens when you do? What about these weird lay lines and unique flowers? It maintains a proper sense of exploration throughout the vast majority of the game, both in terms of covering actual land, and poking around at progression puzzles.
It helped a great deal that I'd essentially seen no promotional materials for the game at all (I first heard about it via The Computer Game Show), allowing me to go in completely fresh. That's a rare and welcome event for any game when you're in this line of work, and Future Unfolding is that particular type of title that benefits from a blind entrance the most. It's a doorway to a relaxing, meditative journey.
Divinity Original Sin 2 – Would probably be on this list with a proper write-up if I'd managed to find time to get much further than Act Two. Far as I can tell Larian have done the business again with a magnificent RPG.
Get Even – An unsung title with a bumpy development process, which nonetheless turned out surprisingly great. It's one part walking sim, one part first person shooter (with a gun literally designed to fire around corners), with a dab of suspense and horror here and there. Star of the show is a mind-bending, twisting narrative. It's an odd one, but definitely worth looking out for in a sale.

Britain cracked WW2 secret "dress code"
Posted on 2006/9/4 2006/9/4 by m1bxd
By Peter Griffiths
LONDON (Reuters) – German spies hid secret messages in drawings of models wearing the latest fashions in an attempt to outwit Allied censors during World War Two, according to British security service files released on Monday.
Nazi agents relayed sensitive military information using the dots and dashes of Morse code incorporated in the drawings.
They posted the letters to their handlers, hoping that counter-espionage experts would be fooled by the seemingly innocent pictures.
But British secret service officials were aware of the ruse and issued censors with a code-breaking guide to intercept them.
The book — part of a batch of British secret service files made public for the first time — included an example of a code hidden in a drawing of three young models.
"Heavy reinforcements for the enemy expected hourly," reads a message disguised as a decorative pattern in the stitching of their gowns, hats and blouses.
The files reveal other ingenious ways spies tried to send coded notes through the post.
Invisible ink, pinpricks and indentations on letters were all used to convey details of troop movements, bombing raids and ship-building.
They hid codes in sheet music, descriptions of chess moves and shorthand symbols disguised as normal handwriting. Postcards were spliced in half, stuffed with wafer-thin notes and resealed.
Agents also used secret alphabets and messages which could only be read by taking the first letter of certain words.
The capture of two German agents in 1942 uncovered two such codes which British intelligence had repeatedly failed to crack, the declassified files reveal.
Britain's wartime spy chief David Petrie described the failure as "somewhat disturbing".
The code was used in a letter from "Hubert" to "Aunt Janet" to conceal the message: "14 Boeing Fortresses arrived yesterday in Hendon (London). Pilots expect to raid Kiel (Germany).
As the war went on, counter-espionage officials developed ways of spotting suspicious letters.
Telltale signs of a spy's handiwork included rambling letters with no apparent point, often sent to neutral countries with too many stamps.
Clumsy or awkward phrases could be a sign that words were being forced to fit a code template.
Lists of numbers and long messages about games of bridge also aroused suspicion.
