The Dangers of PVC in Plastics and Other Household Products
By: LauraB|In: Health|Last Updated: October 21, 2016
Vinyl or polyvinyl chloride, (PVC) is the most hazardous plastic from a health and an environmental stand point. Yet it is the 'evil' that has found a way of crawling into every other house item from children's toys, to building materials and even food packaging.
Why PVC is Extremely Toxic
According to Health Organizations Agency for Research and Cancer (IARC), the chemical used in making PVC (vinyl chloride) has been categorized as a human carcinogen. Manufacturing companies that produce PVCs put both its workers and people living around the company at risk as a result of exposing them to chemicals that pollute their air, soils, and even water.
Another carcinogenic compound that is caused by the incineration and manufacture of PVC is dioxins. This substance can cause a wide range of health effects that developmental and learning delays, diabetes, endometriosis, birth defects, immune system abnormalities and even cancer. Scientists have determined one strain of dioxin as the most potent carcinogen that was ever tested.
PVC also contains toxic additives which are also substances that when you use everyday could also greatly impact your health.
How Does One Get Exposed to These Dioxins?
To get this picture, we sought advice from one of the plumbers involved in HVAC installation in Dallas. He explains:
"Dioxins are normally released from the factories that manufacture PVC or other sources like during combustion or disposal of PVCs. From here they find their way into the air, soil and water and end up in plants that are eaten by animals. Since our main source of food as humans is plant and animals, we ingest these dioxins from the foods we eat. Animal fat especially, have a high accumulation of dioxins and when we eat dairy products and meat from the animals the dioxins are transferred to us. 95% of human exposure to dioxins occurs through food."
Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), a component of PVC, is a suspected human carcinogen?
Approximately 108 volatile organic chemicals can be released into the air by just one PCV shower curtain? In this group of chemicals there are those that can cause damage to the central nervous system, liver damage, respiratory damage, damage to the reproductive system as well as developmental damage in children?
Although the use of PVC in product manufacture has been somehow regulated in product manufacture in the US, they still find their way in through imported products in even higher amounts. A study conducted on children's items found out that the levels of lead in these products were 30 to 100 times higher than the federal limit for lead.
What's the Way Forward?
If we want to protect our world for the next generation, and protect our kids too, then we have no choice but to avoid PVC. And the only way to do this is if we can recognize it's made of PVC and reject them for alternatives.
In the US, products made of PVC have the letters "PVC" or #3 besides recycling symbol with three arrows on it.
Unfortunately there are notorious companies that don't indicate whether they have used PVC or no. For items with no identification, you should contact the manufacturer to make inquiries especially if you want to purchase in large quantity.
The good news is that information about the "evil" nature of PVC has traveled far and wide and many manufacturers have stopped using PVC in their products. One good example of these companies is IKEA which has stopped using PVC in the manufacture of their textiles, furniture and wall coverings.
Although it may look like the battle for a PVC-free world has been lost there is still some light at the end of the tunnel. More and more people are becoming aware of the harmful effects of PVC and are realizing that they can use alternative product. You as an individual can join this fight by keeping off purchase of PVC products.

The government of Peruvian President Pedro-Pablo Kuczynski aims to ramp up a tax swap system that has already awarded hundreds of millions of dollars in infrastructure projects.
The finance ministry is working with eight ministries, regional and local governments, the comptroller's office and state agency to promote private investment (Proinversión) to find ways to implement more of the projects known as obras por impuestos, Proinversión said in a statement.
Proinversión, ministries and regional governments will present their project portfolio at a September 30 event, the agency said. The tax swap system has awarded 225 transport, health, education and water infrastructure projects totaling 2.25bn soles (US$660mn) since 2009, according to Proinversión.
Proinversión and the housing & construction and finance ministries are also tackling bureaucratic obstacles to US$1.50bn in potable water and sewerage projects in eight of the country's regions, said the housing ministry's director for housing policy Luis Tagle.
The projects are located in Apurímac, Cusco, Junín, Lima, La Libertad, Piura, Puno and Tumbes, Tagle told state news agency Andina. The government has issued a regulation that modifies Law 29090 regulating urban edifications that prohibits municipal governments from including investor requisites not established by law, Tagle said.
The ministry has also calculated a housing deficit of 1.2mn homes in 36 cities around the country which will require 7,600ha of land over the next five years, he said. There are 12 priority cities: Tumbes, Talara, Piura, Chiclayo, Trujillo, Lima, Pisco, Ica, Arequipa, Ilo, Iquitos and Huancayo, where 826,637 homes are to be built, while the Chavimochic project is to feature 150,000 homes, Tagle said.
Kuczynski, who took office July 28, has pledged to work to eliminate all bureaucratic obstacles to US$25bn in delayed infrastructure projects within six months.

Richard H. Thaler is the 2017 recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his contributions to behavioral economics. Thaler studies behavioral economics and finance as well as the psychology of decision-making which lies in the gap between economics and psychology. He investigates the implications of relaxing the standard economic assumption that everyone in the economy is rational and selfish, instead entertaining the possibility that some of the agents in the economy are sometimes human. Thaler is the director of the Center for Decision Research, and is the co-director (with Robert Shiller) of the Behavioral Economics Project at the National Bureau of Economic Research.
Thaler is the co-author (with Cass R. Sunstein) of the global best seller Nudge (2008) in which the concepts of behavioral economics are used to tackle many of society's major problems. In 2015 he published Misbehaving: The Making of Behavioral Economics. He has authored or edited four other books: Quasi-Rational Economics, The Winner's Curse: Paradoxes and Anomalies of Economic Life, and Advances in Behavioral Finance (editor) Volumes I and II. He has published numerous articles in prominent journals such as the American Economics Review, the Journal of Finance and the Journal of Political Economy.

...I live in a very wooded mountainous area and in the summer the bugs are ferocious! I was looking for an all natural bug spray with no yucky chemicals so I gave this a try, and man am I glad I did. I use it all the time and it works way better than the stinky chemical-laden big name brands. It smells great and actually makes your skin soft while it repels the bugs. I highly recommend this stuff!
This shampoo is wonderful!! I tried several others, but was not happy...This shampoo smells amazing, leaves you hair soft & silky, & lathers up well. You get a big bar that you can cut down to 4 pieces, all of them will last you at least 3 weeks even if you wash your hair everyday when you travel...Sulfates strip your hair and remove color from it (if you color it). I saw no change in my hair color from using this. Obviously, coloring hair is not easy on it. Less coloring is definitely good for you hair! This makes the shampoo even better, if that is possible!!

ASIS Media Tour
As one of the biggest tourist destinations in the nation, Orlando, Florida represents a unique challenge for security professionals throughout the area. That is why the ASIS Media Tour provided an exciting opportunity to see what the host city for the ASIS 2016 Conference, Sept. 12-15, is doing to secure some of the major commercial buildings and facilities within Orange County.
The ASIS Media Tour started at the Orange County Convention Center, where we were able to talk with Orange County Convention Center Security director Timothy J. Wood, who shared some of the key security management strategies for the second largest convention center in North America with 2.1 million square feet of area to secure. Wood and his security staff work closely with the Orange County Sheriff's Department to create a plan for the more than 200 events that are held at the conference center each year.
"We do a full security plan 21 days out," he said, looking at the history of the event, attendees expected, guest speakers invited, as well as any high profile attendees, such as military, government or dignitaries.
Wood noted that "although we can't harden all areas, the goal is to minimize any soft spots" that a criminal or terrorist, for example, might be looking at, and "deter them by disrupting that cycle of planning and surveillance," as well as being proactive in addressing any suspicious activity. He said it is also vitally important "to have a plan in advance of each event that addresses crowd management," especially for a big shows like Megacon, which has doubled in size over the past few years.
One thing that struck me is the sense of community that is present throughout the Orlando area, from police and fire personnel to security professionals working at these high-profile facilities, who many times are former police, as is the case with Wood. "We have been working for decades with law enforcement and have a great working relationship," which he noted includes sharing information and identifying security trends and issues.
Wood attends monthly "tourist crime intelligence meetings" with local law enforcement, FBI, SWAT, Secret Service, and bomb squad and fire personnel, to look at upcoming events, and address concerns or trends in security or for Orange County.
He also emphasized the importance of having security staff trained in hospitality, as well as working closely with Orange County Convention Center public relations, marketing and communications to coordinated efforts, such as with mass notifications, messages, news releases, etc.
For all of its security management efforts, the OCCC won the ASIS Matthew Simeone Award for Public Private Partnership Excellence two years ago.
The next stop on the tour was The Mall at Millenia in Orlando, which comprises 1.2 million square feet over several levels. Greg Moore, security director, said that because of their location in Orlando, "we have a much higher emphasis on security than you will see in other malls," from training for security and other staff to the technology and services that they employ.
There is also a big emphasis on prevention or deterring crime. "It starts with the tone we set when you pull into the parking lot, with our police and security presence, to when you walk into the building." He noted that the image that you create and the initial impression create a "big deterrent" to someone who might be thinking of doing something bad.
He and his security staff, including assistant security director Justin Messenger, also examine incidents that have happened at other malls, such as the shooting that happened at a Maryland mall two years ago, to look at "best and worst practices," which can then be applied during training for their staff, whether it is active shooter training or workplace violence training.
Security guards are also proactive in identifying and dealing with suspicious behavior. "We tell our security officers to control their environment and don't let it control you," which can be something as simple as security guards asking someone who is looking at a map, for example, if they can help them find something.
Messenger, who oversees much of the technology employed at the mall, noted that the mall has "state-of-the-art cameras with video analytics capability," including the ability to record all activity in the mall. A command center has full access to video and can notify security of any suspicious activity so they can be proactive in mitigating any possible problems.
Moving on from the mall, our last stop on day one of the tour was at the University of Central Florida, which at more than 60,000 students represents one of the largest campuses in the nation. To secure such a large campus with so many schools and buildings, UCF has its own Police HQ, an emergency operations center and mobile command vehicle with satellite capability.
UCF Police chief Richard Beary, who has nearly 40 years in law enforcement, noted that a university of this size presents unique challenges, including continued growth, as the campus is about to embark on a project that will add a downtown campus in Orlando.
He noted that creating a campus that is designed to address current security concerns is of the utmost priority. "The biggest challenge with new facilities is what we call 'value engineering' where they engineer the value right of a building," he said. "With the new campus, we can't afford to do it the wrong way, and then retrofit it after the fact," which he said has been a challenge with some of the more than 200 existing buildings at UCF.
With Florida a concealed carry state, Beary is concerned about current campus efforts to allow concealed weapons on campus, as he feels the training to get a permit "only requires a 45-minute class, which is not adequate enough training and does not even involve teaching them how to handle the weapon or even fire it."
Jeff Morgan, UCF director of the department of security and emergency management, noted that the UCF Crisis Intervention Group "is a huge program that is very beneficial" as the group is trained to deal with the many issues that occur on campus, including sexual assault and other violent crimes.
Managing a campus with 11,276 doors with locks creates its own safety and security challenges, and Morgan noted that the campus is researching adding some more capability to the more than 2,000 cameras on campus. "We have had vendors come in and there are future plans to add that analytics capability."
In addition to a fully functioning Police department, the EOC was activated in 2013, providing a state-of-the-art facility (with a backup generator) that allows security to monitor all facilities, host training of all kinds, leverage the latest technology, and to connect, coordinate and talk with law enforcement, security, fire and hospital personnel while pushing important and relevant security info to all parties in real time.
The EOC is also used as a backup for federal marshals, as well as by FEMA and DHS for training.
Days Two and Three
Our first tour stop on day two was at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, which recently brought on Chris Savard to fill a newly created position of director of security. Savard works closely with Annette DuBose, account manager for Andy Frain Services, a security management company that oversees the Phillips Center, to provide comprehensive security management protocols for a facility that is within sight of town hall and very much a part of the fabric of the community.
Savard, who is recently retired from law enforcement, said he wanted to begin to "change the culture and mindset" at the theater, with a stronger emphasis on security while still maintaining an "inviting and welcoming environment" for theatergoers.
One of the first things Savard did was start bag checks to better enforce a strict no weapons policy at the theater. "I was amazed and shocked at what they were trying to bring into the building," he said, noting that items found during newly instituted bag checks included guns, knives, pepper spray and bullets, to name just a few.
Changing the culture at the theater is challenging, as bag checks or the use of wands, for example, is not something that is being done yet in New York's theater district, for example. "Here in Orlando bag checks and the use of wands is becoming more of the norm, as you see it being done at Disney and other theme parks, so people are starting to get used to it," said Savard, who noted that the theater is also considering starting checks for weapons using a wand, which would be done on a random basis. "After Paris, people want to see an increased police presence and focus on security."
He said another important initial step to boost security was adding a police officer inside the building as well as a more strategic use of law enforcement officers outside. "We added a canine officer outside the theater to greet people as they drop-off and enter the valet area in front of the building, which we feel is a huge deterrent for a bad guy," said Savard.
Security also brought in the Department of Homeland Security to do a complete assessment of the facility, looking for vulnerabilities and areas that can be hardened. "They found a few things that we were able to correct, such as varying our valet parking procedures," noted Savard.
The assessment process included a 3D virtual analysis of the building that provided a comprehensive look at all of the access points and areas in the building, which can then be shared with and accessed by SWAT teams, for example, to aid them in getting in the building in the fastest and safest manner possible during an emergency situation.
In terms of video surveillance, cameras are located throughout the facility, especially "in high-value areas," Savard noted, including five out in the front plaza area, as well as at all levels of the loading dock.
Security staff and employees are also given active-shooter and workplace-violence training. "This training is vitally important," Savard said, as it teaches situational awareness, behavior assessment and counter surveillance, as well as how and when to engage someone who might be showing signs of suspicious behavior.
Savard also started offering a situational awareness and self-defense training class for female employees and their daughters, to teach them some basic techniques on how to neutralize someone and defend themselves better.
"Overall, we have increased security and taken it to the next level, so we are doing a lot better than we were," said Savard.
Our next stop on day two was the Florida Hospital, where William S. Marcisz, senior director of security and a member of the ASIS Health Council, provided a comprehensive overview and guided tour of the hospital's security program. With 10 hospitals over eight campuses, Marcisz relies on a large and highly trained security staff to manage buildings, including more than 1,000 access points and approximately 2,500 cameras.
When Marcisz arrived about three years ago, he suggested that the campus-based management structure be reorganized into one security department. "We designed it similar to a corporate security program but it is scalable," said Marcisz, who noted that the program has five key elements, including operations (guard force management, for example), a communications division or dispatch, technology, including an IT department, a training division and investigations.
Marcisz explained that the training division is vitally important because it helps ensure that "communications and operations are synchronized and that we have everything standardized across the system."
One area where the hospital sees "a lot of return on investment," said Marcisz, is through investigations. "We investigate everything that is criminal in nature and we leverage our technology in our investigations, including our cameras, to help resolve many cases," he explained.
Marcisz pointed out that through investigations, the hospital is able to get back hundreds of thousands of dollars each year in hospital assets, such as property that is either lost or stolen, as well as provide risk mitigation and defer litigation. "We did solve a case in 2015, for example, that saved us $15 million," noted Marcisz.
Another key part of training is to ensure that all head security positions have certifications attached to them, such as the Professional Certified Investigator (PCI) certification through ASIS.
The hospital also developed a workplace violence prevention program that is managed through security. "We do threat management and have put together training programs developed in-house, including computer-based learning modules on active shooter and workplace violence," said Marcisz. "And we are in the process of developing additional training for our leadership on how to manage workplace violence."
Because the hospital has a constant turnover of staff, there is an employee orientation program, and staff receives MOAB (management of aggressive behavior) and CPI (crisis prevention intervention) training.
"Our safety violence risk assessment was also developed in house, and we are in the process of implementing that, which allows our nursing staff to match up objective criteria, in terms of a patient's behavior, based on a stoplight system—red, yellow and green—that provides responses and actions that need to be taken as behavior escalates," said Marcisz.
With close to 200 security personnel and growing, the hospital has a structured onboarding training process that consists of several different training modules an officer must complete once they finish orientation. "They must attain, and if applicable, get certified in certain skill sets (handcuffing, for example) before they can even interact with patients," noted Marcisz. "A hospital is a very unique, high stress environment, so we have to be compassionate and customer service-oriented as well."
Outside, each campus has two security vehicles that are equipped with video and license plate identification technology, including a strict parking policy to keep employees from parking in unauthorized areas.
In addition to the security team, the hospital has a threat management team and works closely with law enforcement and fire personnel.
On day three, our final stop on the tour was at the Hyatt Regency Orlando, formerly the Peabody, where Fred Prassack, director of security, talked about the challenges of securing the largest Hyatt convention property in the U.S.
Located next to the Orange County Convention Center, the hotel has 1,639 rooms and 105 breakout rooms as well as numerous meeting rooms, the largest of which is the size of two football fields. The hotel is also getting set to add a $450 million new tower with a conference center that will have approximately 350,000 square feet of meeting space.
To secure such a large property, the hotel has a main security office, a video monitoring and dispatch center as well as a small conference room for security meetings and briefings.
Prassack said that one of the keys to their success is having a staff that is all on the same page. "We have an officer training program, as well as a new-hire orientation program," he noted, which includes security, fire safety and other emergency preparedness training. "We also have training for managers in areas such as anti-terror, active shooter and workplace violence, which is done in cooperation with the Orange County Sheriff's Office."
Prassack noted that he reminds security and other hotel staff that 9-11 "changed the way we live forever … many of our freedoms went away that day." Staff is trained to look for suspicious activity and "be vigilant," he said. "If you see something, say something. After orientation and training, I deputize them and have them sworn in, which makes them feel empowered to be able to do something, if needed."
As a major convention hotel, Prassack speaks with other hotel security directors in the area and nationwide and participates in monthly sheriff's crime intelligence breakfast meetings, which address current issues or concerns that security may need to address or be aware of, such as the Zika virus, which has been garnering a lot of attention lately in Florida.
On the technology side, the hotel also utilizes more than 400 Panasonic cameras with IP addresses and a separate hard drive. Cameras have motion sensors and record activity, which is saved for 30 days. The video surveillance room is set up on an automated schedule that provides views of cameras in key areas at the hotel, while taking the feed off of areas that are not active, such as the bar area in the morning.
This attention to detail is paramount at such a busy and bustling hotel property, said Prassack.

What is happening in that vineyard? People are getting stoned, killed, beaten. Did you hear that? On world communion day, this text is awfully violent.
When harvest time came, the landowner wanted his fruit, so he sent one set of slaves to his vineyard to collect the fruit, and his workers are killed or injured, and this land owner is so bold to send another group of slaves, and the same fate befalls them. These farmers are vicious.
On world communion day, we remember our sister church in Columbia, and the Connecticut United Church of Christ has a close relationship with a grouping of South Korean churches, both of which we lift up on world communion day. We all have ancestors from around the world, have loved ones still spread out across the globe. Many of us have a heart for the interconnectivity of all humans sharing this precious earth.
We prayed in unison this morning to a God of all nations, a God of rich diversity. We remember how dependent we are on one another, that our shirt, our shoes, our food, the air we breath is connected to humans and communities that we most likely don't even know. This is a simplistic summary of the global market- but point being- we, like the landowner, often consume the fruit of another's harvest.
And along with recalling the our inextricable dependence on global connection, this parable jars us into the violence of our connection, of what happens when we deny it. Our world is frightened by extreme groups, by still increasing wars, by multiple threats that stem could arguably stem from denying our connectedness. And in our country we are polarized along political party lines, that lead us into deeper division, believing that a certain political party can grant us protection or salvation, at the expense of our connection to one another.
So back to the story. We left off when the landowner has sent his second set of slaves, and the farmers or tenants murder them too. In order to get the fruit of his harvest, the landowner thinks; they will respect my son, if I send him to reap the harvest. But when the tenants saw the son they say, "This is the heir, let's kill him and take his inheritance." They took him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him too, thinking they could keep the fruit and the vineyard. They denied their fundamental connectedness. They were unable to see beyond the hedges of the vineyard.
You see Jesus isn't actually talking about a vineyard. Jesus has set this story up, so that through the metaphors, the crowd will eventually and suddenly understand the meaning, but before then, they will inadvertently judge themselves.
'Those wretches,' are actually the high priests and Pharisees- the religious leaders in power. Let me unpack the characters to help this make more sense.
The land owner is God, who planted a vineyard (people of Israel, specifically Jerusalem, the hedge around the vineyard is God's law or care, think the 10 commandments we also heard this morning. The a winepress is the altar, the tower is the temple. Then God entrusted the vineyard to the farmers- the leaders of people, especially priests. To collect the fruit, God sends Prophets, like Isaiah, and Elijah, who are the slaves in this story. Jesus brings awareness to how their culture treats prophets. They kill them.
This is the first time that Jesus calls attention to himself the son of God, in Matthew. He predicts his own death, and the authors of Matthew add the detail that Jesus is killed outside of the vineyard, in Golgotha, outside of Jerusalem.
These prophets, including Jesus, have come as messengers from God, and the culture kills them, choosing to stay attached to their own understanding of the realm of God.
The rejected prophets, the truth tellers, Jesus himself included, will become the cornerstone. If you think of a building, the cornerstone: the stone that connects two walls, that binds things together that wouldn't otherwise have connection. This is what the community of Jesus followers did with the Jews and the Greeks- communities that had never been previously connected, came together in their differences and united under the compelling salvation of Jesus, that became a bedrock of inclusivity and diversity. This is what we want to do on world communion Sunday. To bind ourselves to a vision of connectivity.
Jesus assures us though, that this vision, however many times rejected, will become the cornerstone. This is a vision to expand the love of God beyond its bounds. The love of God is always seeking to destroy boundaries and human made limitations.
John Calvin commented on this parable with the added warning, that we should expect people, and especially religious leaders, to try and hinder the reign of Christ. I pay special head to this warning, as a newly appointed religious leader.
We seek to follow the vision of love that knows no bounds, that calls us each to use our lives as tools of love and transformation. We try our best to get this right, but in truth we are so deliciously human, that we often get this wrong. We find a way to exclude somebody with churchy insider language without realizing it, or with the timing of a scheduled meeting. We say we are open to all people, but the subtext of that is that we aren't open to all behaviors- so we stretch our maturity to hold contradiction.
We as the church people, as the religious people, are the ones most susceptible to limiting the reign of Christ. And this message of connectiveness, of not letting our party lines, our belief systems, our cultural backgrounds, divide us, is not optional anymore. It is urgent that we embrace one another in a inclusive vision of love. It is urgent that we don't try to control what the vision looks like, but allow our lives to guide us, for the love of God.
So as we approach this table today, let us try to dissolve the monument that we have built over the grave of Jesus. Let us try to dissolve our own ideas about how the welcome table looks, and internalize the message of Jesus, the love that knows no bounds, that stretches us beyond our wildest imagination.
Let us seek to see beyond the hedges of our own vineyard. In our effort to get to the light, let us make a home in the darkness, learn to live amidst contradiction and controversy and disappointment, without shutting down and giving up.
We are all, always in process, and not one of us escapes the dark night of the soul in order to get to the light. We are an evolving species. There is no growth without conflict, there is no break-through without first a break-down. We have to gestate in the fluids to have birth/be reborn. The conditions in the darkness are ripe for molding and shaping a new way of being.
So let us make friends with the darkness, and open ourselves collectively to the unknown, with trust and love, so we are able to change and evolve into our collective spirit and not repeat harmful patterns. Let us allow this parable to speak to us from the mouth of Jesus himself, preserved through the ages, as a message of hope, that this love will become the cornerstone. With an added message of warning, that we, especially we, will inadvertently limit the love of God. So let us stretch ourselves and each other to not contain the love of God in our own vision, but to let the love of God burst forth, and guide us into new pathways that we have yet to even imagine. Our collective lives depend on it. Amen.


Montrose have parted company with manager Paul Hegarty in the wake of Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Cowdenbeath.
Montrose have parted company with manager Paul Hegarty in the wake of Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Cowdenbeath.
The Links Park side are just two points above bottom club Edinburgh City as they prepare to host Ladbrokes League 2 leaders Forfar Athletic this weekend.
Hegarty had been in charge since replacing George Shields in February 2015 but his reign is now over and his assistant John Holt has taken over on an interim basis.
Montrose chairman John Crawford told the club website: "On behalf of the board and everyone at the club I would like to thank Paul for all his efforts during his time with us. Paul arrived at a real low point in our history and we will always be indebted to him for keeping us up.


The British reality game show, Celebrity Big Brother will be returning on screen in January with a new logo design. The show is based on the Dutch show Big Brother. The contestants of the game show are referred to as housemates. Each week, through public vote a housemate is evicted. The last to remain is the winner.
The new logo design is the representation of the show's new format where the All Stars (who have taken part in the competition) will take the New Stars (who haven't taken part in the show). Although the lineup for the show hasn't been announced yet, but people have started speculating who might be participating.
The new identity of the show is very vibrant, seems like it is inspired by pop art. It looks like a logo of different comic book stars combined, which emphasizes that the new show will be filled with much drama and excitement. Channel 5 did say, that the 2017 series will be "a starry celebration of color". Nevertheless, the logo wouldn't last long as a competent identity as its extremely cluttered except for the 'Wonder Woman' look alike star in between.


I am a Welsh Corgi Pembroke breeder from Kajaani, Finland. I bought my first Pembroke Netta "Puksipuun Polar Beauty" in 1998. With her joyful and lively temperament she fascinated me immediately. Since then I have been hooked to this lovely breed. I think that the Pembrokes have come for my life to stay.
My first litter was born in 2004. Since then one or two litters of Suukkosuun Pembrokes have been born in our household per year. I wish I could breed Pembrokes with sound and brave mind, lovely foxy expression and with excelent typical movements. First of all the healthy dogs who are easy living with.
I think it was a fate that I got Lapponian Herder to my other breed. I was showing succesfully my friends, Netta's breeders Lapponian Herder Lecibsin Duetto at shows around the Nordic and Europe and I fascinated about the breed. Nowadays I have this Lecibsin Duetto and one of her great-grandchild at home. Our first Lapponian Herder litter was born on 2009 and the second 2010.

Congregation (work of art)
Ledelle Moe
Birth/Death
277 separate elements (dimensions variable)
Purchased with funds from the North Carolina Museum of Art Docents
When viewed as a group or at a distance, the hand-carved faces in Congregation may appear very similar. But upon closer inspection, each clearly has its own semblance. Moe says, "Making Congregation was a way of making sense of the space around me . . . I was able to make [these] anywhere," throughout the U.S. and at home in South Africa. Each head varies in color and texture, depending on the region and country where Moe mixed concrete from local sand.
Congregation evolved out of Moe's daily practice, and the aggregate marks the artist's movements through space and time, much like a personal journal. The heads resemble a collection of delicate, freshly excavated ancient artifacts, though they are in fact weighty and of this era. Unlike Moe's large-scale sculptures such as Collapse I in the Museum Park, which have an air of fallen monuments, these miniatures seem to have risen from the earth, newly animated and engaged with one another.

The content and carbon number distribution of n-alkanes in diesel samples was analyzed using gas chromatography (GC). This paper describes one kind of commercial ethylene/vinyl acetate (EVA) additive for evaluating the sensitivity of four diesel samples. The influence of surfactants added alone or compounded with EVA on the cold flow plugging point (CFPP) was determined to investigate the collaborative effect. The results indicated that the susceptibility of diesel samples was according to the following order: 2#, 3#, 1# and 4#, and the synergistic effect of surfactants combined with EVA was excellent. To further the development of surfactants as cold flow improvers, the performance mechanism was studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results show that the crystallization energy of wax crystals had different degrees of decline with the use of the additive surfactants, through measuring the thermal effects using DSC.

Office 365 is working great in Don's shop, but there are issues you need to be aware of. He shares what he's found out (so far).
As more and more people switch to Microsoft Office 365 Software as a Service, any weaknesses in the offering will start to be exposed. For the record, my company (Concentrated Tech) uses Office 365, and we've been pretty happy with it.
We're aggressive fine-print readers. We knew about the now-defunct old max-outbound-recipients-per-day limit, and weren't surprised. Also clear to us was the high-traffic bandwidth throttling on incoming traffic, and that it can be suspended during migrations.
What we didn't know is what would happen if we accidentally borked a spreadsheet stored in our SharePoint Online document library.
Version control isn't enabled by default on document libraries and it's pretty easy to forget to turn it on. Versioning will eat up your storage quota, so use it judiciously -- but definitely use it. The backup and recovery situation with Office 365 isn't all you might think. And, sadly, it's not spelled out very well in the service's fine print -- we actually had a support engineer read through the service description document on the phone, and none of the little gotchas we learned about were detailed, even in the fine print.
First: Microsoft backs up SharePoint every 12 hours, but those backups live for only 14 days. So if you do mess something up, call immediately. But that mess-up had better be significant, because you can't restore individual items. You can only restore an entire site collection. A busy collection with continual changes, then, won't be a good restoration candidate just to bring back a single item. Use versioning for that, and pay the price in storage.
You also can't restore a site collection to another location, which is how you'd usually deal with a recovery problem in an on-premises failure. In other words, you can't drop the backup to another server, extract the one item you want and proceed -- it's all or nothing, and it's in the original location.
Our Plan E3 supports up to 300 site collections, which is pretty substantial. We get unlimited e-mail archiving and unlimited e-mail storage, but SharePoint storage isn't infinite, and it's pooled across all site collections that you set up, although you can put limits on each site collection. We get 10GB plus 500MB per user in storage -- and, frankly, that's pretty miserly. It doesn't take many complex Word documents to drain that down, and we work mainly with complex Word documents, PDFs and other items that can be pretty sizable. I mean ... my phone has more storage. So we've been a little reticent about turning on versioning. Should have done so -- it doesn't use that much space, and it would've saved the day.
I should point out that Microsoft supports up to 25GB of SharePoint Online storage, but you pretty much have to buy it 500MB at a time by adding up to 50,000 users. With our Plan E3, that's $20 a month, or $240/year per 500MB. Expensive, if all you wanted was the space.
Plan E3s do include site collection restoration, but it's whispered that non-enterprise plans (the P and K series) don't include recovery services. I couldn't find anything definitive in the service description documents (which are available here).
So does this change how we feel about Office 365? Not really. We still really do love the service. It'd be nice if these little details were a bit more spelled out in the service description, and maybe if the system prompted you to turn on versioning when creating a new document library or something, but now we know.
I would like it if Microsoft could offer some a la carte upgrades, like selling blocks of SharePoint storage. I suspect it'd still be costly, given SharePoint storage is really SQL Server storage, and that can definitely get expensive, both in terms of space and performance.
Forewarned is forearmed: If you're considering a move to any cloud service for anything, think about all of the day-to-day details you had to deal with when that service was in-house. How often do you do backups? How long do you keep them? How long does a recovery take? Then get answers to those same questions from your provider, before you sign up. So long as you're OK with the answers, then it's perfectly safe to proceed.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Keep in mind that Microsoft continues to evolve Office 365's offerings, features, and fine-print...While Don's observations were accurate when he wrote the article a few months ago for the print magazine, by the time you read this things may have changed. That reinforces his point of 'reading the fine print' so that you know what you're getting right at that moment. -- The Eds.

Amend the amendment on page 6 by inserting after section 11 the following:
'Sec. 12. 37-B MRSA §514, as enacted by PL 2013, c. 128, §3, is amended by adding at the end a new paragraph to read:

A handkerchief, neoprene spacer, safety pin, and small magnets were selected to correct the problems with the rig. Two small magnets 3.125mm x 1.5mm were hot glued to opposite ends of the neoprene spacer. The spacer was hot glued to the gear of the gear motor. Hot glue was used because the hole in the spacer was not snug on the gear so significant space had to be filled.
The safety pin was put through the handkerchief after it had been folding in half three times. The rubber bad was put into the safety pin as well. More glue was necessary to hold the neoprene spacer to the gear and small wires were put under it while it cooled so it would not rub on the gear box during operation.
The rubber band was replaced by a smaller one. The rotating platform was put on top of the handkerchief and pulled so that the neoprene washer was held snuggly against the edge of the rotating platform. The remote was placed over the magnets. A series of test images were taken and compiled into an animated picture.

Q: Does not display track record in Google Analytics I have installed plugin WP Post to PDF to convert a current post in pdf. but now i dont know how many person use this feature on my site. so i want to track of pdf download from my site http://careertest.guru99.com/
Thats why i have added onclick event on this link as below
onclick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','Download','Click',this.href])";

and also added below code in plugin
<html>
<head>
<script>
  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
  })(window,document,'script','http://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');

  ga('create', 'XX-YYYYYYY-Z', 'auto');
  ga('send', 'pageview');

</script>
</head>
</html>

So when a user click on Download PDF, a PDF will be downloaded but in Google Analytics it does not display any effect. Means in google analytics it does not display how many people Downloaded PDF and from which post.
Please help me how can i know this.
Thank you

A: Aside from the JS syntax errors, if you are using Universal Analytics, then you will need to use the "ga" object (currently you are using the older _gaq object). To send the event through the onclick handler, your Google Analytics code should look something like this
ga('send', 'event', 'download', 'PDF', $(this).href);

Also note that your quotes should be consistent. Use the single, straight quotes.
Hope this helps.

Q: error when using -AppFileTypes in DesktopAppConverter Newbie looking for some assistance. I have an app that I have successfully converted using DesktopAppConverter and uploaded to Windows App Store.
However I cannot get my file type associations to work at all. Desktop App Converter produces this error ...
 PowerShell Error Record: Multiple ambiguous overloads found for "new"
 and the argument count: "2".

when I add -AppFileTypes "'.pg2','.pg3'" to the end of my build command. .pg2 and .pg3 are my custom file types.
My whole command would look something similar to this...
DesktopAppConverter.exe -Installer "c:\myAPP" -AppExecutable "myApp.exe" -AppId "xxxxxxxx" -PackagePublisherDisplayName "My App" -PackageName "XXXXmyApp" -AppDisplayName "myAPP" -PackageDisplayName "mYAPP" -Publisher "CN=myPublisherID" -Destination "C:\myAPP\OUTPUT" -Version "vXXX" -Verbose -MakeAppx -Sign -Verify -InstallerArguments "/verysilent" -AppFileTypes "'.pg2','.pg3'"

Before I have had success doing this with InnoSetup, but cannot see what I've done wrong here.
Any help very much appreciated.


March 27, 2019 (JUBA) - The IGAD Technical Boundary Committee (TBC) submitted its report to the South Sudan Special Envoy Ismail Wais on Tuesday.
The Committee had to define and demarcate the tribal areas of South Sudan as they stood on 1 January 1956.
The TBC head Ali Gragandi Naeem from Sudan handed over the report to the IGAD special envoy in Juba on Tuesday 26 March, according to a statement released by the regional body on Wednesday.
"Presenting the report to the IGAD Special Envoy, the TBC Chairperson confirmed that the report was adopted by consensus pursuant to article 1.15.18.4 of the R-ARCSS," said the statement.
"Using 1 January 1956 as a base, the TBC was expected to list and map the tribal boundaries which are violated by the establishment of 32 states in the Republic of South Sudan," further reads the statement.
The TBC was inaugurated on 9 January 2019 and achieved its task within 60 days, as provided in the revitalized peace pact.
Any South Sudanese tribe has the right to contest the report and bring its case before the Permanent Court of Arbitration at The Hague.
In your view, what countries are friends of South Sudan? What must they do in order to avoid South Sudan Bor-made bombs get held out of them?
We need only accurate boundaries that has been demarcated by British, we don,t need those fake 32 states, I do agreed with TBC, Gambella, Abiey ect are different cases.
couldn't agree more with you(for the first time). I wish we shall continue developing such good relationships for the betterment of our country, because we are the victims in all this context.
The so called TBC or IBC is a waste of time and resources. To be fare, the Agreement should have given this committee 2 mandates; 1) Firstly,to confirm that citizen support the 32 States 2) If confirmed,they then proceed on the boundaries project. One reason the wise none-signatories reject the R-ARCSS! It is Ironic to see the STUPID IO fans complaining about the 32 States while in the Agreement!!
