Everybody knows that medical science development has skyrocketed and a lot of previously unimaginable stuff is now possible. Yes, abortion is an age old practice, but with time it has proliferated and experienced an alarming incline as time passes why. It is easy to get pregnant if not cautious enough and maybe because of the facility of abortion, unwanted pregnancy is not that huge a threat anymore.
However, there are many reasons why abortion should be avoided at all costs, considering its disadvantages and side effects.
Abortion is basically either surgical or medical termination of pregnancy. It removes the fertilized egg and empties the pregnant uterus before the 28th week of pregnancy hits. It is quite a risky procedure, but one which has been gaining popularity because of the huge number of success it boasts of. It can be natural, i.e., miscarriage, or it can be intentionally induced, i.e., surgically or medically done.
It is encouraged in certain cases where it is sure to bring unhappiness, for instance, when doctors are sure that there is an extreme deformity in the developing fetus, or when it poses a threat to the woman’s life.
Physical trauma: First and foremost, because of the physical stress that it will put the mother through. Her body will experience severe hormonal and nutritional changes which might even lead to abortion in certain cases.
Emotional stress: The mother will be so traumatized and empty that she will not be able to pull herself together for a lot of time. It might lead to psychiatric conditions like depression etc. also, it could complicate future prospects by damaging the reproductive system of the mother’s body.
It is not so much about the consequences, but on a larger level, it is more about the bleak truth that one has killed a life even before it came into the world. Nobody has given one the right to kill someone off just because of personal interests. It is wrong on so many levels. Above all, the ‘what if’ factor will always nag the mother; she will always think about what would have happened if that life had bloomed, and this will lead to severe mental pressure on her.
Yes, there might be unwanted pregnancy but abortion is not the only way out. In developing countries, a large chunk of the population is not aware enough to make informed choices. They should be taught about the various methods of contraception, which are in some ways better than abortion, since they kill the egg before it starts to really develop. People who do not wanted pregnancies can also go for permanent birth control, or for a specific time span. In such cases, it is ensured that no pregnancy will occur, and thus, no inhuman activities will take place.

Beginning January 1st, 2019 (or the first show after the previous 2018 State Championships), all Cinch RSNC contestants will have the opportunity to compete in a State Championship at the end of the Cinch RSNC season for that state. Producers from your state, starting with the producer that submitted the most sanctioned teams, will be offered the opportunity to host a State Championship Finals. Numbers of teams are determined from World Finals to World Finals and the previous State Championship shows do not count towards team count. This gives producers ample time to prepare for the event. If a producer accepts the State Championship event, Cinch RSNC will help furnish awards. For every state that sanctions at least 5 Cinch RSNC shows in 2019, Cinch RSNC will contribute up to 7 Trophy State Championship awards. For every state that sanctions 10 or more shows Cinch RSNC will contribute prizes through 5th place in each of the 7 rating categories.
The points system through the year will be identical to the current Cinch RSNC National Finals point’s race. First place contestants will earn ½ point for 3-4 teams, 1 point for 5-9 teams, 2 points for 10-14 teams, 3 points for 15-19 teams, 4 for 20-24, 5 for 25-29, 6 for 30-34, 7 for 35-39, 8 for 40-44, 9 for 45 and over up to 100 teams. If more than 100 teams in a class then the points will be doubled. These accumulated points will determine the contestant’s placing in the Top 20 of each division for their state. Only top 20 contestants that have competed in a minimum of 4 shows prior to the State Finals in that state’s point race are eligible for prizes and the winners will be determined by total points won throughout the year and at the State Finals for each of the following categories: Beginner, Rookie, Novice, Amateur, Open, Masters and Youth.
All Cinch RSNC Regionals, State & County Fairs, plus the following events (Congress Super Sort and Cheyenne Frontier Days) will be awarded double points and participation credit. In addition, all shows with 1,000 teams or more will be awarded double points and participation credit for show count to attend State or World Finals. Additionally, if a state or county fair is scheduled as a 2, or more, day event, it will not count more than double participation.
Each First-Place winning member from each rating category from each state will permanently be listed in the Cinch RSNC HALL OF FAME! The state high money winner and the high money horse from each state will additionally be enshrined into the Cinch RSNC HALL OF FAME!
Contestants must attend at least 4 shows prior to the State Finals in the state in which they wish to compete and also ride a minimum of 5 rides at that State Finals event to qualify in the points race for that state and for that state’s State Finals prizes. For an event to count as a qualifying show for the 2019 State Finals, contestants must enter a minimum of 5 times in each show. If a contestant qualifies in more than one state they have a chance to compete in more than one State Finals event. If a contestant qualifies in 2 divisions, they have the chance to win a prize in both of the divisions. In the event that there is a tie on points for the State Finals prizes there will be a Tie Breaker Rule: Total # of cattle sorted in all classes at the finals that points were applied to will be the 1st tie breaker. If this does not solve the tie then we will go to the shortest amount of time it took to sort that amount of cattle. Good Luck to all!

Ace shuttler PV Sindhu made the country proud in Rio Olympics Friday (19.08.2016) evening as she became the first Indian woman to win a Silver medal at the biggest sporting event of the world.
World number 10 Sindhu, playing in her first Olympic Games, went down fighting in the Gold medal match against world number one Carolina Marin of Spain, 21-19, 12-21, 15-21 to give India its first Olympic Silver medal in Badminton.
The 21 year old Sindhu, youngest Indian to win a medal at Olympics, rose to podium to get that Silver medal and smiled as she made the country proud.
The jouney for a medal in Badminton started from London 2012, when Saina Nehwal bagged the first medal a Bronze for India. Sindhu just went for a notch above and took Silver at Rio 2016. Now, all eyes should be on Tokyo 2020 as India searches for its Gold.
President Pranab Mukherjee said, in a tweet, that it is a proud moment for India and the whole nation rejoices with Sindhu and her family.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, Sindhu's accomplishment is historic and will be remembered for years.

CANVAS is now being considered by architects as an attractive and economical building material for the small homes of the future. Canvas can now be treated with preservative paints to make it waterproof and fireproof.
A summer home which can be built anywhere for less than $1000 uses canvas almost exclusively as a surfacing material. The open lower deck, raised one foot off the ground to avoid dampness, is used for garage, storage, and shower bath. The main floor 8 feet above is reached by a folding stairway, as is the sun-deck above.
When ever I read “of the future” my mind adds a deep echo. I imagine one strong breeze would take the house down. I am looking at the picture, how does one get to the sundeck?
You get to the sun deck via a folding stairway, it’s right there in the caption. I can’t help but think that even though this place CAN be built anywhere, it SHOULDN’T be built everywhere.
TimE, for some reason I misread that, thanks for pointing it out.
Might be fun in the summer but $1000 was a lot back then and I don’t see this as any type of permenent structure.
I wonder how they do the insulating.
It’s interesting that the earlier article, which quotes a price of $1,500, is from February, 1933. I wonder if this story about an architect with a novel idea for low-cost housing was part of what inspired Ayn Rand to write The Fountainhead ten years later.

I have added lemon zest to my soap base made from caustic soda, water and olive oil. The mixture has now turned bright red. Is this an indication that it is too acidic or is it ok?
Wow!! That sounds kind of cool actually. Wish I could answer you but unfortunately I don't know why it would go red.
I wonder if it will stay red or if it will continue to change colour?
My mother and I once made a soap and when we added the fragrance oil to the soap it turned blue, then green, then brown and when we poured the soap it was pumpkin coloured. After the insulation period it was a dark purple. It was really strange but quite fun to watch at the same time.

Greg and Debbie opening day in 1977.
Debra Barker and Greg Cairns met in Miami, Florida while both were working in a new IHOP on the corner of 441 and 191st street.
Greg was a cook at age 16 and Debra was a waitress at age 15, her first job.
They met and fell in love. Shortly after, they moved in together and in 1973 they were married.
The Barker/Cairns family relocated to Blowing Rock, NC where Debbie and Greg worked for Debbie’s folks who owned and operated The Roaring River Chalets.
Debbie also worked at The Cedar Rock Country Club, The Mountain House (the original one owned by Bea Story) and Alpine Steak House (owned by The Dales). Greg ran The Cozy Corner Restaurant (owned by The Byrums) where Shoppes on the Parkway is now.
While at his second job doing construction at Hound Ears, Debbie’s father Don kept talking about how there were no restaurants or coffee shops along Highway 105 or in Foscoe. And the newlyweds got to thinking.
As luck would have it, in 1975, Greg and Debbie were awarded insurance money from a car accident. This money would soon purchase the plot of land where Grandview Restaurant is today.
In 1976, just as 321 was widening in Blowing Rock, Rip Collins, who owned a canoe rental business next to The Roaring River Chalets, was bought out by the state.
Greg and Debbie saw this as a great opportunity.
They decided to purchase the modular homes, formerly Collins’ home and business, and moved them to the Grandview lot.
After a year of renovations and remodels, Grandview Restaurant opened on July 2, 1977. A smaller version of what it is today, inside you would have found a bar with about six bar stools and only a handful of tables. A couple years later they expanded to what you see today.
Greg and Debbie worked around the clock in the beginning, Monday through Sunday- breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Poor Greg would mow the lawn late at night as that was the only time he could find. Luckily, they lived in the apartment right next door- so no commute! Debbie’s parents got into the habit of coming out for dinner every night, right at closing and would hang around to help clean and close things down.
Years went by and soon they outgrew their Grandview apartment. Their son Charles was born in 1981 and daughter Leigh Ann in 1983. With the new additions, the family packed up and moved just up the road to Seven Devils, where they built a home on the mountain.
But in 2013, tragedy struck and The Grandview family lost their dedicated “King of the Grill” Greg on September 19.
Today, Grandview continues to carry on his tradition and his legacy or “eggacy,” as they like to say.

Get real estate lawyer help now for many of the following issues.
The majority of your rights and liabilities, in addition to those of landlords, are governed by the laws of the state where the property is established. Because of this, it is important to check with the specific laws in your state. It is often much more beneficial to receive legal assistance from an experienced real estate attorney regarding renter rights since laws can be complex and overwhelming.
Additionally, real estate lawyers can be helpful to renters when it just comes to signing routine paperwork, such as a lengthy lease. As a tenant, it is imperative to know what exactly you are getting into before it becomes official.
Q: What is the purpose of deeds?
A: Deeds specify, and are normally needed to transfer, possession of real estate. A deed comprises the names of the previous and current owners and a legal description of the real estate and is signed by the individual transferring the real estate. The various types of deeds, such as the quitclaim deed, warranty deed, and grant deed, transfer various interests in real estate.
A: A disclosure statement is a form that certain states require a real estate seller to fill out and give to the purchaser, unveiling specific faults and other facts about the real estate. The disclosure requirements differ by state.
Q: What are some standard limitations enforced on property owners?
A: Property owners are not permitted to do anything they want on their estate. Federal laws specify environmental limitations, while local ordinances regulate everything from fence height to noise levels. Local law is also the typical source of zoning regulations, which restrict the uses of real estate in specific locations. State laws usually control who can access real estate and how boundaries are established and altered. Private agreements and additional boundaries may also regulate real estate use. For instance, a development may encompass restrictive agreements regarding architectural design, lot size, vehicle parking, and other specifics.
Q: What is joint tenancy?
A: Joint tenancy is an agreement in which more than one individual owns a piece of real estate. Many spouses own their real estate as joint tenants, with equivalent portions in the real estate.
Q: What comes next after a deed is signed and notarized?
A: A signed deed should be filed, or recorded, in the correct land records office, often in the county in which the real estate is located.
Q: What happens during foreclosure?
A: If a property owner neglects to make timely mortgage payments, the lender may foreclose on the home. Depending on state law and the conditions of the mortgage contract, the lender may choose a statutory foreclosure. State laws define stern protocols concerning appropriate notices and chances to pay before the real estate is sold in a foreclosure sale. In many states, a homeowner may remain in his or her property during the foreclosure process. A lender may want to evade foreclosure and its expenses by working out an arrangement with the property owner. A real estate lawyer can assist with these types of arrangements.

First, let me apologize for all of the low quality pictures in this post. They are all off my phone or Facebook uploads. Second, this is a LONG post.
Last week I said I’d share pics of the costumes I made and finally, I have photographic evidence!
My friend, Christina, was a dalmation. Simple dress to stitch up and we added the ears to a headband. She’s fostered a lot of dogs this year, so it was a fitting costume for her.
My brother wanted a Colonial man type outfit. At one point in the evening I think he referred to himself as Benjamin Franklin. ha! I wish you could see the breeches, white socks and buckles on the shoes! This was a lot more work and I didn’t have a pattern, so I was pretty happy with how it turned out. I don’t really sew a lot of clothing.
Last night I got crazy and decided to rip an old queen sheet into strips and crochet them together.
According to Instagram I should make a rug out of it. I just may do that.
I’ll have to rip up some more sheets if I make a rug. Believe it or not this is 2/3 of a queen sheet and it’s only about 16″ wide.
I’m using a size N hook and 3/4″ sheet strips. I attached the strip ends together with a zig-zag stitch because I don’t like the bumps and knots other methods result in.
Rnd 1: 8 SC in the center and slip stitch to join.
Rnd 2: Ch 3, 1 DC in same stitch, 2 DC in each stitch around. (16 total including chain) Slip Stitch in top of CH 3 to join.
Rnd 3: Ch 3, 1 DC in same stitch, *DC in next stitch, 2 DC in the next stitch. Repeat from * around. Slip Stitch in top of CH 3 to join.
Rnd 4: Ch 3, 1 DC in same stitch, *DC in next 2 stitches, 2 DC in the next stitch. Repeat from * around. Slip Stitch in top of CH 3 to join.
Rnd 5: Ch 3, 1 DC in same stitch, *DC in next 3 stitches, 2 DC in the next stitch. Repeat from * around. Slip Stitch in top of CH 3 to join.
Rnd 6: Ch 3, 1 DC in same stitch, *DC in next 4 stitches, 2 DC in the next stitch. Repeat from * around. Slip Stitch in top of CH 3 to join.
Rnd 7: Ch 3, 1 DC in same stitch, *DC in next 5 stitches, 2 DC in the next stitch. Repeat from * around. Slip Stitch in top of CH 3 to join.
— follow the pattern until it’s as big as you want by increasing the number in red for each additional round.
Do any of you knit? Do you knit socks? I just don’t have the patience for knitting and I wish I did. My latest Etsy purchase – wool socks! I wish I could make my own.

What’s up your sleeve this week?
Those are some awesome costumes!!
This is a lovely post and the photos are great. Gosh you are a work horse, fancy crocheting bed sheets. You amaze me.
Great looking rag rug Julie! Hmmm next time I stop off at my local thrift store I will have to remember to look for vintage sheets. I love the shabby appearance of it! Your socks are darling. I am a knitter but not made socks, just sweaters. Maybe someday! Thanks for hosting your linky party!
I love the colors in the rug from the sheet. What a great way to use them.
All kinds of goodies in this post! Thanks for the directions on how to crochet the strip rug – I love the colors in yours.
Thanks for featuring my Rudolph ornament. BTW, I love to knit socks. There is nothing better than a cozy pair of handknit wool socks to keep you warm in the winter!
You did a wonderful job on the costumes and those socks must be so toasty warm. I don’t do any knitting either.
Man, you’ve been busy! Good to see you and totally impressed at your Halloween costume making skillz.
Okay, first I’ve made that rug…mine came out like a bowl!! LOL!!! Next, that Rudolph brings me back to my childhood and Finally, I CAN NOT knit…but my mom is a wonder and she has made me numerous similar socks…and I LOVE them!!!!
First, I love the costumes! Awesome! Second, I have always wanted to learn how to make those rugs from old sheets. Clever girl, you did it! Thanks for teaching me, I’ll have to try it. Third, thank you for sharing the colors from the blog post I linked with you last week. That was very kind and I appreciate it! Happy Sewing!
Socks are so easy! You don’t need to use “sock weight” yarn if you just want something cozy for cold winter nights. I’ve made and worn worsted weight socks. They knit up super quickly and kind of feel like a magic trick.

REIWA attended The Salvation Army’s Homelessness Week event ‘There’s Always Something You Can Do’ on Tuesday 7 August, which celebrated those people who’ve transformed their lives through the services of The Beacon.
Salvos’ Manager of Homelessness, Bev Wilson, said the event highlighted the lives that have been transformed through the Beacon's programs and services.
“At the Beacon, we believe, along with our program approach to homelessness, that our point of difference is that we have a spiritual foundation.
”Wherever there is injustice and hardship, The Salvation Army chooses to live, love and fight alongside others so that we take the journey alongside them to transform Australia one life at a time,” she said.
Beacon clients Mohamed G, Lynton, Tiana, Melissa L and Netta T, all told their stories of resilience, recovery and hope and thanked the Beacon and The Salvation Army for supporting them.
Mohamed G said it was alcoholism that led him to homelessness, and he was at the point where he was very sick, but the detox program through The Salvation Army turned his life around.
“I ended up doing this detox program and I went there and was surrounded by so many people, I just started crying because I knew I had a way out,” he said.
Karen Coetzee, Operations Coordinator at The Beacon, said the event was about honouring and acknowledging those who have fought to accomplish what they thought was impossible.
“We heard personal stories from those who think ’I can’t do this’ or ‘how can I reach my dream, this is impossible‘ but yet they pushed through,” she said.
Melissa and Netta T spoke of how their experience with domestic violence led to them being homeless and how the Beacon helped them find the courage to leave their ex-partners.
Beacon resident Stephen S expressed what his impression of homelessness was through a painting he created during the event.
“This is a street kid, not knowing if he is going to make it through the day. I wanted to keep it really dark because it’s like when we see them (homeless people) we walk past them, like we don’t really want to see them, it’s like they’re invisible,” he said.
How can you make a difference to WA’s homeless?
If you'd like to help out those sleeping rough on our streets, please consider donating.
By doing so, you’ll be helping REIWA's Community REInvest partner, The Salvation Army, provide much-needed services to those in need such as meals, accommodation and crisis counselling.

text: ? DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Recording all the neural activity in a 3D volume with millisecond timescale precision is a key goal of the BRAIN initiative. Recently, in a collaborative project with the Vaziri lab (IMP, Vienna), we adapted the strategy of lightfield microscopy for 3D volumetric imaging of fluorescent neural calcium responses (Prevedel 2014). This technology enables computational reconstruction of a 3D volume from an image by simultaneously capturing the angle of incident light rays in addition to their intensity. Imaging can occur as quickly as the fluorescent neural activity reporter allows (Chen 2013)? we imaged the entire larval zebrafish brain at 20 Hz. However, the spatial resolution for lightfield microscopy is poo, resulting in low signal to noise ratio (SNR) as well as difficulty in automatically segmenting neural anatomy, which is key to linking neural activity to underlying circuitry. This spatial resolution limit is a fundamental issue with lightfield microscopy, since to gain 3D imaging capability, one must sacrifice spatial resolution: there are only so many pixels on the camera. Accordingly, we here propose to perform the first whole brain recording of a larval zebrafish with single neuron resolution by increasing the total pixel count of our existing system by an order of magnitude whilst improving the SNR by leveraging a six fold increase in frame rate. Our existing lightfield imaging system (Prevedel 2014), and others (Levoy 2006, Cohen 2014), use an array of microlenses to effect the tradeoff of spatial for axial resolution. An alternativ approach captures the lightfield using an array of cameras, without any microlenses. Our novel design combines both approaches at an unprecedented scale. Our scalable data acquisition system (Willow, see preliminary data) combined with cameras designed inhouse limit the cost of our system to 1/10 of a traditional twophoton microscope. In this way we aim to develop a userfriendly system capable of imaging all of the neurons in a 3D volume, at speeds comparable to the natural timescales of neural activity, whilst keeping an eye towards polishing our system for marketability and widespread use.

text: We investigate the occurrence of a CME-driven coronal dimming using unique high resolution spectral images of the corona from the Hinode spacecraft. Over the course of the dimming event we observe the dynamic increase of non-thermal line broadening in the 195.12? emission line of Fe XII as the corona opens. As the corona begins to close, refill and brighten, we see a reduction of the non-thermal broadening towards the pre-eruption level. We propose that the dynamic evolution of non-thermal broadening is the result of the growth of Alfvén wave amplitudes in the magnetically open rarefied dimming region, compared to the dense closed corona prior to the CME. We suggest, based on this proposition, that, as open magnetic regions, coronal dimmings must act just as coronal holes and be sources of the fast solar wind, but only temporarily. Further, we propose that such a rapid transition in the thermodynamics of the corona to a solar wind state may have an impulsive effect on the CME that initiates the observed dimming. This last point, if correct, poses a significant physical challenge to the sophistication of CME modeling and capturing the essence of the source region thermodynamics necessary to correctly ascertain CME propagation speeds, etc.

Laser Nail Fungus Treatment Santa Monica - Kare Plastic Surgery Center.
Nail Fungus is a common problem that can affect the nail and cuticle of the feet and hands. Options for nail fungus treatment include topical creams or oral medications that may affect liver function. A new type of laser nail fungus treatment is now available that can eradicate the problem with one or two treatments to the nailbed. Treatments are performed on an outpatient basis and one of our associates will perform the procedure in a clinic setting using the latest advancements in laser fungus treatment available.
Onychomycosis is a common nail condition that is otherwise known as toenail fungus. Toenail fungus can occur as a result of a common fungal infection entering the space under the toenail. It is unknown how individuals acquire toenail fungus, but it is thought that it results from the use of public gyms, saunas, yoga centers, or swimming pools. Treatment of onychomycosis has traditionally been through the use of topical creams or oral medications. The limitation of topical creams is that there is limited uptake of the medicine through the nail bed into the space that is occupied by the fungus. Further, the difficulty with administration of oral medications for toenail fungus is the monthly monitoring of possible liver inflammation and possible complications associated with liver damage. It is for these reasons that physicians have now to come to rely on a new technology for onychomycosis that uses a powerful laser to destroy the fungus underneath the toenail. This toenail fungus laser can be performed on an outpatient basis with minimal recovery; and can effectively destroy the fungus that resides underneath the toenail. Treatments for toenail fungus infection can also help with discoloration and brittleness of the nail.
Toenail fungus laser is performed at Kare Plastic Surgery and Skin Health Center and relies on advanced technology to destroy the fungus without harmful antibiotics or antifungals. The options for laser treatment now obviate the need for extensive medication and the potential for liver toxicity. If you are interested in the new laser for onychomycosis and toenail fungus, please call our office to schedule an appointment by calling (310) 998-5533.
Dr. Karamanoukian is a Los Angeles and Beverly Hills laser specialist who has the latest techniques available for the treatment of nail fungus and onychomycosis. During your consultation, Dr. Karamanoukian and staff will examine you and provide you with a comprehensive treatment protocol using our latest laser nail fungus treatments.

Recommended Ages: This class is ideal for students ages 9-17. Class is offered in two levels. Younger academically gifted students will be accepted, but must have excellent reading, comprehension, and listening skills.
Start Date: Class runs for 10 weeks. Students have 2 weeks after the last class is posted to complete the course. No live classes- do the lesson plans on YOUR schedule.
Space Available: This class is not currently open for enrollment.
This 10-week course will help students unlock the mysteries of the English language using examples found in the Harry Potter series! This course focuses heavily on reading and writing, so be prepared to cover the first three novels in the series and complete short writing assignments along the way.
How did J.K Rowling come up with the names for all her characters? How can the root-words in each spell or potion reveal a little about what it might do? What actual stories and events from world history and mythology helped to inspire Harry’s wizarding world? We will investigate all these questions and find out more about the secrets behind the novels, all while studying elements of plot and storytelling to make language and literature come alive!
Although this is mainly an English/Language Arts course, we will also look into other background information on the Harry Potter series, including everything from History and Popular Culture to Ancient Legends and Mythology.
ASSIGNMENTS: Most weeks, students get to choose from a list of exciting and fun hands on projects to let them really dig deep into topics in the lesson plan that interest them the most! The goal is to allow students to explore the topic while allowing their creativity to flow. We encourage out of the box thinking! Generally projects can be submitted in any format of the student’s choosing…written, presentation, poster, stop motion animation, minecraft, song, skit…we’ve seen it all!! Check out our facebook page for examples of student projects. All students receive instructor feedback on submitted work.
The required textbooks for this course are J.K Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. (Library & used copies encouraged).

Sometimes just a small change in surfaces can make a big impact on a room. An alumnus of our favorite school (Gig ’em!) wanted to update his kitchen without demolishing it completely. New to the remodeling experience, he wanted a contractor he could trust to provide good advice and smooth execution. He and his wife knew their primary objectives, but they needed some help with the details. After a very informative consultation with one of our fellow Aggie owners, he concluded TriFection represented the perfect fit for this project.
Our client wanted to lower one side of an L-shaped high bar behind the kitchen sink and extend the counter to make the area more entertainment-friendly and feel more open. The existing laminate counters were dated and lacked distinctive character. So, we needed to find a granite and decorative backsplash that would complement his light-finished cabinets and enliven the room. With help from our selections team, our client wisely chose Silver Pearl granite, which we also used for a backsplash below the remaining high bar. The newly lowered section of high bar required the relocation of electrical outlets and switches as well as sheetrock repair and painting.
For a statement backsplash behind his cooktop, our client chose Venatino, a beautiful mixed glass and stone linear mosaic tile. It immediately catches the eye when entering the kitchen area. We trimmed out the kitchen by re-installing the cooktop, sleek new double ovens (including a convection/microwave combo) from Bosch, undermount sink and faucet. As a final added touch, we hung new crown moulding throughout the adjacent living and breakfast areas.
Our client is thrilled with the outcome. His kitchen has an entirely fresh look and feel, and he didn’t have to bust his budget to accomplish it. Now, with remaining funds available, he and his wife are already thinking about the next room in their home targeted for an upgrade. Having experienced the remodeling success associated with TriFection’s Form, Function and Fit formula, we expect to hear from them again soon…..
In the meantime, TriFection has one more problem to solve. During the course of several conversations about Aggie sports, we discovered our Aggie client has not yet attended a football game at the newly renovated and palatial Kyle Field. That is simply unacceptable for a true Aggie fan. So, as a token of our appreciation for the trust he placed in us, we’ll be treating him to some prime seats in the fall.

GameStop has been highly optimistic about the Switch, even going so far as to say that it could eclipse the Wii in the long run. Now in a new post-earnings call with investors, GameStop chief operating officer Tony Bartel had tons more praise for the Nintendo Switch.
Bartel’s opinion of the Switch is certainly higher thanks to the huge demand, but Bartel attributes that demand to Nintendo’s effort at providing more high-quality games within the first year of the console’s life than it did with the Wii U.
While the early comparisons to Wii shortage bodes well for Nintendo as a company, if consumers feel as though they can’t get the device in a timely manner they may lose interest in it. Nintendo needs to be doing all it can to make sure it can keep the system in stock at brick and mortar retailers as well as online like Amazon if it wants to keep people interested in upcoming games like Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, both of which will require a robust multiplayer community.

There are six basic nutrient requirements that need to be met: water, fat, protein, carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins. In most cases, the feed manufacturer balances the last five for us, but you should never forget water. Healthy horses consume about five to fifteen gallons of water a day, depending on the humidity, temperature, and their level of activity. Horses that do not drink enough water are more susceptible to intestinal impactions and dehydration.
The rest of the diet should be based on the other nutrients.
Carbohydrates – this should form the largest part of the horse’s diet. Carbohydrates are divided into 2: structural and non-structural. The former is mostly found in roughage and can be digested, thanks to the design of a horse’s intestinal tract. Non-structural carbohydrates, on the other hand, are mostly found in grains.
Fats – fat is an excellent source of energy that is easily digestible. Adding fat to a feed increases its energy density, you need to give your horse less food.
Minerals – minerals must be present in large amounts for the body to function well. You should also understand that mineral needs change depending on the status and age of the horse. Be careful when feeding your horse minerals because high amounts lead to serious health conditions and toxicities.
Vitamins – these must be present in the body to allow reactions to take place. They are divided into two categories: fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins. A horse usually synthesizes most of the vitamins it requires, therefore, horses do not need supplements for all vitamins. Excessive level of vitamins can cause toxicity. Be sure to exercise good judgment during feeding.
Because nutritional requirements vary from one horse to the other, you need to examine the feed tags before feeding your horse. This is why the manufacturers put valuable information on the feed tags.

After the demonetization drive in November, the real estate sector was left in the ruins as the worst casualty of the cash ban. But you will be surprise if we tell you that the S&P BSE Realty index, the barometer of the real estate sector, has actually delivered 14 percent return so far in 2017 and is up nearly 2 percent since demonetization.
The Budget announcements clearly indicated that the government’s focus on improving affordability of homes will benefit end-users, which would result in significant increase in housing supply in the secondary market.
But the finance minister offered hope to the sector as he announced infrastructure status to affordable housing in the recent budget. Stocks of real estate developers, banks and housing finance companies moved higher from their previous lows on domestic bourses in the first week of February.
In 2017, total NRI investment in realty in top eight cities is expected to touch $11.5 billion. This will represent 20 per cent of total market share, currently estimated at $60 billion. Infrastructure status to the sector will help affordable home developers to access cheaper funds from big institutions such as insurance companies and pension funds.

Get some soft foam pattern blocks. When they are wet, they will stick to the sides of the tub. Now…play! With younger children build pictures: boats, towers, people, whatever. Name the shapes as you play: triangle! square! parallelogram! rhombus! trapezoid! hexagon! Ask your child if it’s possible to build a hexagon out of just triangles or just trapezoids. As with most anything you do with your kids, they will lead the way by stacking, sticking, and building in unexpected ways. Be delighted with it all.
With your older children, you can allow for the same free play, and you can also ask more questions. When they tile the pieces together into a mosaic, why do some shapes fit together and others don’t? Can they build bigger versions of the smaller shapes (ex: a bigger square out of little squares, a bigger triangle out of little triangles, a bigger trapezoid out of little trapezoids)?
By the way, some of the most fun we have is watching the shapes (particularly the triangle) spin around the whirlpool formed as the tub drains! Yup, this still holds the 7-year-old’s rapt attention.
If your child no longer takes baths or is older than early elementary school, there is still a lot of value in having pattern block manipulatives around the house to fiddle with. Even adults have a hard time not creating some kind of pattern when a pile of these blocks are within reach.

Kindergartners love word family sliders! It is such fun! This one is very easy to make.
Print out the gingerbread man below. I print it on brown construction paper. I cut the construction paper down to 8 1/2 x 11 and feed it into the copier through the side feeder. You will have to check to see if your copier does this.
Print copies of the letters below on basic white copy paper. Cut into strips. I cut mine just a tad wider than the letters.
Have the children decorate the gingerbread man with crayons and markers.
Cut out the gingerbread man.
Feeding the slider into the paper. You can see the slits were pre-cut for this kindergartner and he could not wait to see the slider in action!!
This child cut the slits with scissors. Older students can manage this just fine. I prefer to do this for the kindergartners for proper place of the slider.
Did this today with my class and they loved it! Thanks.

Because I make mistakes (all the time) – is the short answer.
I am kind of daft, and never really liked taking advice from others, so I am the kind that insists on making my own mistakes, instead of learning from others.
My very first price list was in an online gallery (don’t do online galleries, please don’t – for your client’s sake!). And the first mistake I did was adding everything!
Think of a print-product, I had it, all of them, all of the sizes! Think of a frame – I had it, in all kinds! All sizes of albums, all kinds of albums. Everything, I had it all.
So there were my clients, looking through a price list bigger than the Bible, trying to purchase gift prints and maybe a frame if I was lucky. All because that was the easiest choice for them.
And each and every one of them had the same markup. This meant that if I sold my smallest size, I would make around 4$/ 3£. And that was what I sold most of!
You really have to be high volume to make a living of 4$ profit!
Do your due research before creating your price list!
So, narrowing down the products, and finding a price that makes me profitable, has been a long process. If I had had a mentor or read more, it would have been a short and easy process.
I no longer have a pricelist bigger than the bible. I no longer have lots of different prices for each size, and I no longer have everything. I have hand-picked a few selected items.
Make sure each item on your price list is profitable. This means if your clients walk away with just one product, you still made enough profit to reach your CODB (cost of doing business).
Sometimes you might want to add “gift prints” or less profitable items on your price list, in that case, you should make sure that either can be bought as a collection or after reaching some kind of minimum order.
Each session you have should be profitable, and less profitable items should be an extra add-on to the profitable items.
Avoid this IPS Mistake. Always Crunch the numbers.

Phousi Hill, with the stupa That Chomsi dominating all Luang Prabang.
Built in 1804 during the reign of King Anourouth and ideally located at the top of Mount Phousi (in the heart of the town), Wat That Chomsi has become a symbol of Luang Prabang’s spiritual significance to Laos. The Stupa is reachable after climbing the 300 steps when all the way up the hill consists of various temples, beautiful shady trees and a magnificent view of the river. At half way up the hill there is Wat Tham Phousi Shrine that consists of a big–bellied Buddha snuggled in a grotto. The temple also consists of another Buddha statue in a reclining position.
A terrace at the foot of the stupa offers an 360° panoramic view of the town. A MUST DO, especially in the evening, during the sunset, when the golden Stupa reflects the last light rays on one of its face.
During the Pimai Festival, woman carry flower offerings up the stairs and leave as offerings at the foot of the stupa.
One of the most interesting aspects of Mount Phousi lies in the legend which surrounds it. Tradition has it that at the site of the sacred hill there used to be a deep pit that led to the centre of the earth. Helped by villagers, a monk went down into the pit and found an immense treasure. The villagers seized the treasure and buried the monk alive by sealing the entrance to the pit. However, armed with magical charms, the monk succeeded in extricating himself after defeating the seven guardians of the treasure. News of this murder attempt reached the ears of the king of Luang Prabang, who punished the villagers by condemning them to take turns in beating drums, gongs and cymbals every three hours to stop the dragons from disturbing mankind. This practice is still carried out today at nearby Wat Thum Thao.

No meal would be complete without some mealworms.
Remember when eating bugs still had some shock value? “We’ve come a long way in just the past three years, now everybody has heard about the topic of eating insects,” says Katharina Unger, the founder of Hong Kong-based startup Livin Farms.
From cricket power bars in the U.S. to microalgae-based biscuits in Japan, the edible-insect movement certainly appears to be gaining traction. There’s even a World Edible Insect Day (Oct. 23).
As a result, Unger thinks now is the time to bring the world's first desktop Hive for edible insects to market. Her aim is to enable consumers to grow healthy and sustainable food from a small space in their homes.
In recent years, a growing number of experts have been extolling the benefits of entomophagy--the term for dining on insects. And this 'entopreneur' and her partner, Julia Kaisinger, have piles of data to support their case.
In fact, the “food of choice” for many Thai people can often cost more than chicken, beef or pork due to the high demand from consumers there.
Across Asia, Africa, and Latin America, people have been known to eat over 1,900 species of bugs, but one of the main concerns is that they usually harvest them from the wild. There’s no way of knowing where the insects have been and what they’ve consumed.
Unger’s design allows consumers to use their own vegetable scraps to grow up to 500 grams of mealworms each week. It relies on a system of sensors and heat to regulate the insects’ growth.
With another 49 days to go, Livin Farms is already well over halfway to reaching their goal of $100,000 in funding through a Kickstarter campaign. They expect to begin deliveries in November of next year.
HAX General Partner Benjamin Joffe calls Shenzhen the Silicon Valley for hardware. By developing their prototypes in China’s manufacturing hub, Livin Farms and the other 29 startups selected by HAX this year have been able to drastically reduce their development time and costs.
And her partner Kaisinger pointed to another benefit in terms of exploring a potential market on their doorstep. "Chinese people have been eating bugs for years! It’s already one of the top places in the world for growing insects."
Livin Farms' Julia Kaisinger demonstrates how the Hive operates by feeding mealworms with kitchen scraps.

Strobe Talbott served as president of the Brookings Institution from July 2002 to October 2017.
Strobe Talbott was founding director of the Yale Center for the Study of Globalization. Before that, he served in the State Department from 1993 to 2001, first as ambassador-at-large and special adviser to the secretary of state for the new independent states of the former Soviet Union, then as deputy secretary of state for seven years.
Strobe Talbott entered government service after 21 years with Time magazine. As a reporter, he covered Eastern Europe, the State Department, and the White House, then was Washington bureau chief, editor-at-large and foreign affairs columnist. He was twice awarded the Edward Weintal Prize for distinguished diplomatic reporting.
In December 2011, Strobe Talbott was named by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as chair of the U.S. State Department’s Foreign Affairs Policy Board, a post he held through Secretary Kerry’s tenure.
He was a Visiting Fellow at Institut Montaigne from April to May 2018. He particularly worked and shared his expertise on foreign policy issues. During this period, he gave us an exclusive interview to talk about American domestic politics and international relations in the Trump era.
The United States and the world?
We all know that Britain is exiting Europe. I’m concerned that the United States might be exiting from the world, unless it stops its bullying of other countries and goes back to being a world leader. If the United States continues to walk away from deals and agreements, it is going to be bad for everybody. The challenges that are out there include, certainly, Russia. Russia has gone back to its Soviet past, both with geopolitical aggression and also an ideology that is anathema to us in the Western world and those countries who are democratic.
The United States under Trump’s presidency?
The name of our country happens to have the word “united” in it, and we’re not a very united nation now. I put much of the responsibility for that to my President, Donald Trump. He is a divider, he is a bully and he is very narcissistic.
For decades, Europe showed the world that sovereign nations can construct a system that allows them to govern the entire continent with rules and norms and policies that help democracies. I know it doesn’t feel as a great success right now. For the last couple of years, there have been tensions and failures, and there has also been a pressure from the East. And now, unfortunately, there are pressures from the United States.

The tools of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have catalyzed remarkable developments in reproductive medicine. As a result, over five million babies have been born worldwide using ART since the first live birth derived from in vitro fertilization (IVF) in 1978. The prevalence of ART is largely a consequence of the high frequency of couples experiencing fertility difficulties (~15%) that can be treated by ART.
Our research goals are focused on genetic epigenetic investigations, at multiple levels of human development, related to the reproductive health of couples undergoing ART. My overall research program has been dedicated to understanding the roles genetics and epigenetics play in male infertility as well as in the negative outcomes of pregnancies derived from ART.
The objectives of my research program are diverse and include: (1) the identification and analysis of meiotic errors and its association with sperm aneuploidy and male infertility, and epigenetic modifications in male infertility; (2) the definition of the basal level of chromosomal abnormalities in pre-implantation embryos, and differentiation of the roles of meiotic and mitotic abnormalities in implantation failure in ART; (3) the examination of the potential genetic and epigenetic risks associated with ART pregnancies that may offer opportunities to develop unique strategies to prevent abnormal pregnancies after ART.
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is an assisted reproductive procedure in treatment of male infertility. It involves the injection of a sperm into an oocyte to facilitate fertilization. Because natural barriers to fertilization are bypassed, ICSI may facilitate the transmission of genetic (DNA related) and epigenetic (DNA independent mechanisms that influence gene expression) abnormalities to the next generation. These abnormalities include a deviation from the normal complement of chromosomes (46 units of compacted DNA) in a cell. There is also concern that the injection procedure of ICSI disrupts the organization of the oocyte and this may affect the development of the resulting embryo. These alterations in pregnancies can potentially lead to pregnancy loss, birth defects, and low birth weight. We hypothesize that ICSI presents both procedure-dependent and independent risks to the fetus. We will investigate of the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities and epigenetic changes in the pregnancies of three assisted reproductive techniques - intrauterine insemination, in vitro fertilization (IVF), and ICSI - and evaluate how the differences among the techniques, namely the use of cell culture, the genetic background of different types of infertility involved, and the method of fertilization, effects the development of these abnormalities. Furthermore, we will examine key steps of cell division in the development of sperm when a chromosomal abnormality in a child is determined to be passed on from the father. Our long-term aims are to identify chromosomal and epigenetic risk factors to conceptions of ICSI, and to develop strategies to prevent abnormal offspring from being born after ICSI.
Infertility is regarded as a major health problem, affecting approximately one in six couples in Canada. It is estimated that 30-40% of couples seeking fertility treatments are diagnosed with male-factor infertility due to abnormal sperm production. In the majority of these cases, the cause of infertility remains unknown. It is suspected that genetic and epigenetic factors may both play an important role in the onset of male infertility. Recent ours and other studies have shown that errors in this meiotic division are more prevalent in infertile men and may play an important role in idiopathic male infertility. We recently provided evidence that meiotic errors in infertile men may also be associated with the production of aneuploid sperm, that is, sperm containing either extra or missing chromosomes. There is increasing evidence in the literature to suggest that infertile men may be at risk of having abnormal DNA methylation (a chemical modification of genetic sequences) in their sperm, which may affect sperm production. Recently, we also found that a subgroup of infertile men had increased imprinting defects (defects in the methylation of specific DNA sequences) in their sperm. We will use recently developed techniques to further characterize the meiotic defects that lead to the production of aneuploid sperm and male infertility in two unique infertile male groups (men with very low sperm counts with and without chromosome rearrangements). We will also investigate the prevalence of imprinting defects among infertile men, and its possible association with meiotic errors within the same study population. Detailed meiotic and imprinting studies of infertile men will begin to reveal the underlying genetic causes of male infertility. The results of this study could lead to improved treatment and reproductive outcomes for couples undergoing infertility treatments, such as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

PHP Extension and Application Repository PEAR Website Server Down from January, 22, 2019.
The malware scanning website suggests that, if you have installed the malicious PEAR that it convert a backdoor in form of Web shell on infected servers.
A security breach has been found on the http://pear.php.net webserver, with a tainted go-pear.phar discovered. The PEAR website itself has been disabled until a known clean site can be rebuilt.
A more detailed announcement will be on the PEAR Blog once it's back online. If you have downloaded this go-pear.phar in the past six months, you should get a new copy of the same release version from GitHub (pear/pearweb_phars) and compare file hashes. If different, you may have the infected file.
The PHP Extension and Application Repository, or PEAR, is a repository of PHP software code. It is a framework and distribution system for reusable PHP components. It extends PHP and gives a higher level of programming for all web developers.
PEAR is divided into three different classes that are: PEAR Core Components, PEAR Packages, and PECL Packages. The PEAR Packages include functionality giving for authentication, networking, and file system features and tools for working with HTML and XML templates.
The project seeks to provide a structured library of code, maintain a system for distributing code and for managing code packages, and promote a standard coding style. Though community-driven, the PEAR project has a PEAR Group which serves as the governing body and takes care of administrative tasks.
Each PEAR code package comprises an independent project under the PEAR umbrella. It has its own development team, versioning-control and documentation.
You need to compare all copies of file in your organization to hash value to determine you have impacted or not. The Endpoint, network, and server anti-malware defense technologies should have this signature updated soon if they do not already have it in their signature databases.
PEAR admin team is working to restore the website. It is currently down and available over HTTP not HTTPS.
Review your PHP configurations file and be sure to running on current version of PHP.
