I remember where I was the day that Amy Winehouse died. I had run into a shop in Soho to buy a birthday present, when I heard an exchange between the girl at the till and her customer. “She died of an overdose. It was just on the radio,” the cashier said in a “sad news” voice while counting out the change. Both shook their heads, tutting, saying “what a waste” and other stock phrases that people keep in reserve for when the talented die young.
Whenever there’s mention of Amy – which is often at the moment because, with this new film, she’s suddenly everywhere again – the same feeling is dredged up from a crevasse in my guts. The sucker punch that gave me jelly legs. The way my mouth went slack and dry. The fact that my teeth chattered even though it was July.
Film still from Amy Photo by: 2015The “why?” with my sister is just as obvious. We have a lively family history, a bleak mashup of EastEnders and Shameless storylines. When the madness peaked in an epic end-of-season finale, my siblings and I were left, as young teens, essentially parentless and rudderless. We stumbled into our adult years, all of us trying to make sense of a baffling, macabre past. But she was the youngest, most vulnerable and most impressionable. She never had a chance.
For the Winehouse family, this seems to be the most contentious part of the film. Mitch has complained about the editing of words from one of his quotes: “She didn’t need to go to rehab at that time.” Put aside some of his more questionable actions and imagine how hard it is to confront the reality that someone you love has a serious problem. The klaxon went off for us when our sister, then 19, returned from a three-month holiday with her then boyfriend (our very own “Blakey”) as a fully fledged heroin addict.

Katonga Wildlife Reserve is one of Uganda’s well known Wildlife Reserves that is worth visiting while on a safari in Uganda. It is situated in Western Uganda along the banks of River Katonga, within Kamwenge and Kyenjojo districts. This wildlife Reserve was established into a game Reserve in 1964 mainly as a corridor for migrating Wildlife species from Western Uganda National Parks to the neighboring countries of Tanzania and South Sudan and covers an area of 207 square kilometers/20,700 hectares. Thirty two (32) years later, Katonga game reserve became a Wildlife Reserve (in 1996) when the previous Game Department and Uganda National Parks were combined to form the current Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA). Presently, the Wildlife Reserve is managed by the Uganda Wildlife Authority under the Kibale Conservation Area management with the Warden in-charge of the Wildlife Reserve found at the Reserve Head quarters at Kikorogoto. This Reserve was named after the Katonga River, which drains from Lake Victoria (in the Eastern side) to Lake George in the western side.
The landscape of this Reserve is mainly undulating in nature with different Vegetation types that include wooded grasslands, grasslands, woodlands, Swamps, riverine woodlands, riverine grasslands and papyrus vegetation. Majority of the area’s terrain is integrated with Savannah, Woodland or Acacia. Nevertheless, vast parts of the Wildlife reserve are either permanent or seasonal wetlands which explain the riverine vegetations. The exceptional strategic location of this Reserve within Forests, Wetlands and Savannah vegetation offers the Reserve with the variety of ecosystems that are ideal for the survival of several wildlife species. However, the predominant plant species within this Reserve include Chloris gayana and Sporobolus festivus.
The outstanding vegetation of the Reserve supports the existence of about 40 Wildlife species that include Sitatunga, waterbucks, and hippos, primates such as Olive baboons, Black and white colobus monkeys, Zebras, Elands, African Elephants, Water chevrotain, Topis, Buffaloes, reedbucks, Impalas, River Otters, Warthogs, Uganda Kobs, Leopards, Duikers and bushbucks among others. With these interesting wildlife species, it is undeniable that hiking/nature walk is the main tourist activity within this Wildlife Reserve.
This Reserve is also a haven to over 150 exceptional bird species, especially the species specific/endemic to the wetlands. There are also various Amphibians, reptiles and butterflies that call this Wildlife Reserve home. Bird watching is therefore an important tourist activity within this remarkable wildlife Reserve.
The marvelous wildlife species, avian species and the varying vegetation types within this Reserve are best explored on foot or by river canoe.
This place can be visited at any time of the year, but the best time is the dry season from December to February and July to September. However due to the high rate of climatic chance and the unpredictable seasonal changes, the rains can come at any time of the year.
Katonga Wildlife Reserve is 200 kilometers (120 miles)/3 hours drive from Kampala to Kyegegwa Council Headquarters, after which you will drive for 42 kilometers southwards through clearly visible signposts.

A team of MIT grad students just won a SpaceX-hosted competition to design a pod for the futuristic transportation system.
The result is a 550-pound pod made of aluminum, carbon fiber, and polycarbonate.
It uses two arrays of 20 neodymium magnets to levitate over the track (rather than air bearings, a common approach that works a bit like an air hockey table), then switches to wheels for the low speeds required to enter and exit a station.
Elon Musk's wild Hyperloop has captivated engineers ever since he almost casually mentioned the idea three years ago. After all, who wouldn't want to contribute to a potentially revolutionary transportation system that would shoot people across vast distances at high speeds through a giant network of tubes?
The idea's attracted the attention of at least two startups, who may want to take a look at the work of the 124 student teams gathered at Texas A&M University for the inaugural Hyperloop Pod Competition. The event challenged students from universities (and three high schools) around the world to design a prototype capsule, or pod, that would carry passengers through those tubes. Twenty-two teams, which had names like Team Hyperlynx (University of Colorado, Denver) and Team WARR (Technische Universität München), won a trip to California in June to test those pods on the Hyperloop test track SpaceX is building.
Top honors, for best overall design, went to the crew from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. That isn't terribly surprising, as MIT is a renowned engineering school, after all, but what's funny is the concept won even though it quite deliberately did not include space for people, or even cargo.
The Hyperloop, which Musk first mentioned in 2012 and more fully described in a 57-page white paper released the following year, is a network of above-ground tubes that would stretch hundreds of miles. Levitating capsules filled with people would zip through the extremely low air pressure of the tubes at near-supersonic speed. Musk encouraged anyone interested to pursue the idea, since he’s sorta busy running Tesla Motors and SpaceX.
Since then, two companies have stepped up to make this happen. Hyperloop Technologies, led by former Cisco exec Rob Lloyd and SpaceX engineer Brogan BamBrogan (yup, his legal name) want to have at least three operating Hyperloops by 2020. Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, a group of engineers from various companies who donate their spare time in exchange for stock options, says it's about to build a full-scale test track in central California.
Though Musk isn't, so far as anyone knows, deploying any significant resources to Hyperloop, SpaceX announced in June that it would sponsor the student competition because "we are interested in helping to accelerate development of a functional Hyperloop prototype." What's not entirely clear is how these designs could move from concepts—even if they are working concepts—to commercial application. "The knowledge gained here will continue to be open-sourced," SpaceX says, so companies pursuing the technology could crib from the ideas at some point.
Whatever the longterm play, that uncertainty didn't deter those interested. The MIT team of 25 graduate students, formed soon after the competition was announced. It started as two efforts, one focused on aerodynamics, the other on the mechanical engineering, until everyone realized they'd be better off working together. The guiding principle, says team leader Philippe Kirschen, was to create a safe, feasible, and scaleable design.
Over the past six months, each team member spent about 20 hours a week on the project, saved from being fully crushed by work by an advisor who arranged for them to receive class credit.
The result is a 550-pound pod made of aluminum, carbon fiber, and polycarbonate. It uses two arrays of 20 neodymium magnets to levitate over the track (rather than air bearings, a common approach that works a bit like an air hockey table), then switches to wheels for the low speeds required to enter and exit a station. The hydraulic braking system clamps onto the track to decelerate the pod at up to 2.5 G's, per SpaceX's requirements.
As for it being utterly incapable of carrying anything, well, that's a move to beat the clock. The students have until June to build a track-ready pod. "To build a pod in one semester, you have to keep things as simple as possible, wherever possible," Kirschen says. "We're gonna make a pod that is gonna go really fast, that is gonna levitate, that can have good attitude control, and that can brake well." Once they nail that, they'll start thinking about about scaling it up to actually carry stuff.

March 9, 2018 – Herd Freed Hartz Executive Search Partners has recruited retired U.S. Coast Guard Rear Admiral Stephen P. Metruck as the new executive director of the Port of Seattle Commission.
The search involved outreach to community leaders and stakeholders, five employee forums and an innovative online survey.
Candidates from around the region and across the country were reviewed in the selection process. The port was seeking a committed public servant who was energized by the chance to lead the management of robust economic development initiatives, rapidly expanding operations at Sea-Tac International Airport as well as numerous real estate and maritime operations.
Mr. Metruck fit that bill. He brings 34 years of executive experience in maritime, security and financial leadership to his new role. Most recently, he was commander of the Mid-Atlantic Region, overseeing 3,600 military and civilian personnel. Before that, he was responsible for planning and execution of the $10 billion U.S. Coast Guard budget. He also served as commander of Sector Puget Sound from 2005 to 2008. In that role, Mr. Metruck oversaw the enforcement of complex national and international safety, security and environmental laws. He also directed the creation of the nationally recognized Puget Sound Joint Harbor Operations Center, which brings numerous government jurisdictions and stakeholders under a unified command in the event of a natural disaster or other major incident.
PFM Executive Search has placed Ewan Moir as the president and CEO of Nanaimo Port Authority (NPA) on the west coast of Canada. He takes over from Bernie Dumas, who recently retired. Co-founder and partner George Madden led the assignment. PFM also helped place Mr. Dumas eight years ago.
In his new role, Mr. Metruck is accountable for leading the organization to meet its strategic, social, environmental, financial and operational goals. Along with the commissioners, he will serve as a face of the organization to the public. He will oversee more than 1,900 employees with a total budget of over $849 million along with an anticipated capital spend of $2.7 billion over the next five years.
Priorities for Mr. Metruck will include leading the organization as it modernizes and expands Sea-Tac International Airport to meet rapidly growing demand, overseeing major developments at Fishermen’s Terminal in support of the North Pacific Fishing Fleet, managing the port’s real estate assets to maximize economic opportunities for local communities and further developing a thriving cruise business that handles over one-million revenue passengers a year. The port is also expanding its leadership in environmental stewardship and workforce development.
The Port Authority of Allegheny County named Katharine Eagan Kelleman as its CEO. The Hillman Family Foundation provided $100,000 to cover most of the cost for the Pittsburgh-based port authority to hire the search firm.
Founded in 1911, the Port of Seattle Commission owns and operates Seattle-Tacoma International Airport; two cruise ship terminals; Fishermen’s Terminal, home of the North Pacific fishing fleet; one grain terminal; a public cargo terminal; four public marinas; and manages a number of real estate assets for financial return and economic advantage. Its operations currently help create nearly 200,000 jobs and $7 billion in wages throughout the region.
Herd Freed Hartz, established in 2001, provides executive search services to the technology, financial services, consumer, manufacturing, non-profit and life science sectors from offices in Portland, OR and Seattle. Its client roster consists of leading, cross-industry brands, including Starbucks, Microsoft, Les Schwab, Amazon, Gates Foundation, Disney; T-Mobile, Alaska Airlines and Premera. Herd Freed Hartz also works extensively with Seattle and Portland-based venture capital and private equity-backed concerns. The firm has placed operating executives within the portfolios of Voyager Capital, Madrona, Endeavour Capital, Kleiner Perkins, TPG and Bain Capital, among others.

Viscosity of a liquid implies the viscous force that tends to prevent the relative motion of a liquid layer compared to another layer in its contact.
dv/dx is the velocity gradient.
On addition of a solute having larger molecular size and increased intermolecular forces, the coefficient of viscosity of water increases. Thus, addition of a solute increases the viscosity of water. With increase in its concentration, the viscosity of the solution is increased further.
Boiling point elevation describes the phenomenon that the boiling point of liquid (a solvent) will be higher when a non volatile solute is dissolved in it than when it is pure.
Boiling point elevation is the reduction of chemical potential of the liquid solvent as a result of the presence of a non-volatile solute. The physical basis of lowering of chemical potential is entropic.
In the absence of solute, the pure liquid solvent has an entropy that reflects its disorder. Its vapour pressure reflects the tendency of the liquid to change towards greater entropy, which can be achieved if the liquid is vaporized to form a more chaotic gas. When a solute is present, there is an additional contributions to the entropy of the liquid. Since there is already an additional randomness in the liquid, the system reaches its maximum entropy. When less liquid evaporates then the solute, and the randomness it causes is absent. The effect of the solute is a lower vapour pressure and hence a higher boiling point.

In a game-changing landmark move, the Government of India is seriously trying to improve gender diversity across Corporate Boards. The revised Companies Act of 2013 mandates the appointment of at least one woman director to the Corporate Board.
Without doubt, this is a step in the right direction. But, there are serious socio-cultural challenges and traditional mindsets coming in the natural route to success for many potential women board directors.
There is a clear-cut evidence of the economic superpower of women as consumers. This major untapped economic potential of women has led to a genetic makeover in composition of corporate boards, mandating the appointment of women directors across different sectors.
Considering that they constitute half of the potential talent base globally, it makes perfect business sense to employ more women. The under employment of highly qualified women means a significant loss of economic resources, which slows down the growth potential of a country.
In an exclusive research done by Biz Divas, 90% of the women surveyed had aspirations to get into the boards of companies. The under-representation of women, despite the possibilities, and the need to do so, is clearly because of the many socio-cultural practices and mindsets that dominate the families and communities of these women, as well as mindsets in the workplace!
A major challenge is the societal mindset and its perception of women. The society takes ownership of a woman’s entity, controlling her place in the society. Women have been trained to be followers and not leaders from birth. They are taught to be submissive and told that a woman’s beauty lies in her silence and not in her voice.
In a vicious circle, passive people are simply not considered for leadership positions and on this account, many women fall short.
Despite the efforts in providing quality education and training the girl child, many of them drop out of the workforce at the middle to senior management level.
Here are the stats of how many women are at different levels in the workforce, which shows a completely skewed picture, considering that women are half the population.
So what happens? Many Indian women drop out of the workforce primarily because of marriage and children. There is a lack of supportive child care and the flexible work options aren’t good enough.
The educated Indian woman is a victim of a patriarchal system both at home and at work. Working women encounter gender prejudices with regard to their executive presence and communication style. Most women employees are not even considered for leadership roles owing to patriarchal bias or technically put, the glass ceiling effect.
Most women have no access or information of the corporate board reforms or recruitment initiatives for the incorporation of women board of directors.
Owing to a lack of clarity around the responsibilities of women board members, most women lack self-confidence in taking up senior leadership roles.
Biz Divas also listed out the benefits in having women on board as directors.
Women board members improve the quality of discussions simply because they understand and speak up for 50% of the population. They bring in a completely radical and fresh take on traditional conversations.
The presence of more women in the board brings in a transformational change in the organisational culture. It transforms favourably the mindset of men and their attitude towards women board directors.
The inclusion of women board members gives a complete picture which is crucial in the decision making process. They offer better consumer insight as 50% of the population consists of women. This leads to better decisions and improved customer experience.
Women’s increased participation in corporate affairs and decision making is the best way to reduce the gender gaps in the workforce today, ultimately leading to an increased GDP (gross national product). Thus, appointing women board directors is an efficient use of national human resource.
There is compelling evidence that more gender-diverse boards outperform the male-dominated boards, owing to better governance and management. Women board directors are proven to have a higher level of conscientiousness compared to their male counterparts having better attendance records at board meetings, siting on audits, etc.
Women board members allocate more time in monitoring, and are more likely to hold CEOs accountable for poor financial performance. Women tend to raise questions that men often disregard.
The increased visibility of women in high positions will encourage the aspirations of so many young women.
Some of the possible solutions recommended by Biz Divas are listed below.
Government intervention might be contentious but it is the only way to ensure mandatory representation of women on the board of directors. These reformation laws will only hold ground if women are appointed purely on the basis of merit and not elite lineage.
The almost equal numbers of men and women graduates dwindle to single digit figures of women in the middle management to the senior board level. Not only is there a need for increased access to education for girls, but a greater involvement of women in decision making at all levels.
Apart from progressive childcare and flexible work options, companies should also be more willing and open to invest and retrain women who went on a corporate break owing to familial commitments.
Successful women can act as mentors to young women aspirants and help them in preparing themselves to get on board. A women’s network coupled with mentoring and sponsorship programs would be a wonderful means of finding creative solutions together to the career related issues of many women.
A committed effort by corporate to maintain a certain if not equal level of women and men in the middle and senior level management is vital. There should be a gender based recruitment criteria via head hunting, board referrals, LinkedIn, etc.
This is the most difficult one. But times are slowly changing for the better.
The future is promising for ambitious women who are ready to take on the world by its horns. India is already heading in the right direction with reports of being the country with the highest number of women CEOs in the region. It is only a matter of time, sustained will, and sincere effort that the Indian woman will be taking charge on a global center stage.

Photoreceptors is a series of 4 larger-than-life photographs on banner. The anonymous images of the eyes of two of the oldest residents of the town of Pouzin, measure 17 ft x 28 ft each, and face outward from the bridge connecting together the town, which today lies on either side of the Rhone river. The eyes look upstream and downstream, asking whose bodies represent us in public spaces and why larger-than-life billboards occupy spaces that could be used to shape a collective history. The temporary public commission for the Sentier du Rhône included collaboration with local governments, structural engineers (to analyze wind load) and outdoor service installers.
The images were hung on a riveted steel bridge constructed in 1961 that measures 292 meters long and weights 2000 tons. This structure is a functional artery connecting together two different French départements. The town of Pouzin itself was largely destroyed during World War II and subsequently rebuilt as a working-class community (ville ouvrière). The loss and of life and property in a site that serves as a strategic gateway to the Ardèche region is today less visible within the town itself, that in the past. Photoreceptors was an ephemeral intervention that intended to represent the human dimension of an industrial landscape where sources of electricity and transportation are far more dominant that individual, living, bodies.
The individuals photographed lived in the town’s retirement home and agreed to participate in the projects. Images of subjects’ eyes were cropped and printed on banners designed to fit into the bridge’s triangular trusses. The frame reinforced the shapes of the eyes and echoed the popular symbol of the all-seeing Eye of Providence, an eye often surrounded by rays of light and usually enclosed by a triangle. The mysterious symbol appears on the original Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen and on the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States, used to authenticate certain documents issued by the U.S. federal government, and represents the eye of God watching over mankind. Here, elderly local project participants take the place of the religious deity and stare out along a river that has flown in the same manner, day in and day out, from the time of their birth, to the time of their deaths. The eyes have a wistful, direct, and haunting quality; their regard does not affirm any particular vision of how mankind should live but rather meditates on the current shape of the landscape and the space it creates for human life.

Several groups in Costa Rica will be joining forces with those in the United States and other countries in holding protests this weekend to mark the four-year anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, according to Isabel Macdonald, coordinator of the Friends’ PeaceCenter.
Macdonald’s group, along with the League of Women for Peace and Liberty and the Costa Rican Human Rights Commission, are organizing a protest tomorrow.
The protest is planned for tomorrow from 3-6 p.m. in downtown San José’s Parque Morazán, and will feature speakers, a vigil, art activities for children and musical performances by singers Esteban Monge and Mario Céspedes. Additionally, representatives from different religions will be invited to express their opinions on the war.
The message protestors hope to send is threefold: U.S. troops should leave Iraq, the United States should not plan any future invasions of Iran and the use of weapons containing depleted uranium should cease immediately. This substance is being used against civilian populations in Iraq, leaving radioactive waste that can cause cancer and birth defects, according to a statement from protest organizers.
The organizers invite anyone interested in joining to wear white and bring a candle. For more information, call 222-1400 or 233-6168.

"Newer homes are in the southeastern quarter - live there"
Roosevelt lies in the heart of Fresno county, nestled in between Highway 180 and Highway 99. The district is relatively flat with a wide range of incomes. Thus, making it a diverse cultural area with a varied population (of around 110,000). Residents here are largely hispanic while the minority consist of white, asian and mixed raced people. However, the population has a large degree of blue collar worker, usually commuting to the greater Fresno area.
The district, which is largely residential, is mixed between old and new neighborhoods. The newer (and quite frankly best place to live in this area) places are marked in the southeastern quarter of the district. These communities are complete with two story homes, quaint stucco house fronts, two car garages and beautiful tree lined streets. However, the rest of the neighborhood doesn’t seem to be catching up. These larger areas are blemished with older one story homes, short front lawns and small gates lining the perimeters of many properties.
Roosevelt’s commercial area is spread out through a myriad of small neighborhood shopping outlets. Typically located on busy corners or intersections, the shopping plazas have everything from department stores, to chain restaurants/stores, to fast food to delis. Yet, there is very little public transportation in this neighborhood with only a railroad stretching along Highway 99.
Fresno Pacific University is one of the communities main attractions among students. It is a Christian liberal arts institution offering bachelors degrees in 28 fields and four advanced degrees. Although, the school has little scholastic reputation outside of Fresno preventing it from thriving in a relatively down economy. Sunnyside Country Club and Village Green Country Club are lessor known attractions within the community, but suffer from poor online reviews.
"Perfect place to settle down"
"Right in Downtown-- great fun in Fresno!"

The 3rd album consists of 4 new tracks and 45 minutes of music, with a guest appearance of John Doe from Craft. The album was recorded at Teknikkompaniet (Vetlanda, Sweden) by Peter Lundin; mixed and mastered by Magnus Lindberg of Cult Of Luna fame.
A real must-have for any Yob, Black Sabbath and Heavy Metal fan. This is a new masterpiece!

Changing your life is just about the hardest thing to try and do. It often ends in failure because old and ingrained habits are truly hard to break. There are of course plenty of success stories out there but far often there are more tales of failure which themselves often fail to get told, so that the only histories we have of changing lives are those celebrated success stories.
Many of these stories fail to fully document the hard road to these successes. That’s exactly what North Carolina singer/songwriter Tim Jones sets out to do on his debut solo record Dead and Gone.
Jones wrote these songs years before, mostly in 2011, they were recorded. They were influenced by the death of the musician Wes Phillips, whom Jones was listening to a lot during that time and also by the death of Jone’s former self and the dissolution of many old relationships.
There is a soft hush in the background almost like the sound of gentle waves which helps to give it some depth and dimension it may not have otherwise had, and it would be unfair not to note the wonderful production on Dead and Gone, courtesy of producer Chris Robinette.
For an album about great difficulties and challenges Dead and Gone is rather a beautiful record. Take the six-minute long “Ballad of the Ghost” which unfolds slowly and gracefully as though it is being borne along by a breeze. Then there is the soft yet powerful “Road” which reminded me a bit of the cool vibes which Lou Reed and co. breathed into the Velvet Underground. This is followed by the ghostly sounding “Background Man” which recalled to me the acoustic solo work of Neil Young.
In the end Dead and Gone may be an album about a life that no longer exists, which makes listening to the record a bit like visiting the dead, which in this case is a trip worth taking time and again.

מה זה מערכת חרב גדעון?
In 2018 machines that can read your face will go mainstream, changing the way we live. Your face will become your password, unlocking smartphones and bank accounts, but the technology will also have the power to covertly track your movements.
It will even be able to guess your sexuality through facial features alone. In 2018 we'll be forced to face the future.
The human face has an astonishing variety of features which not only help us recognize others, but read and understand them through a constant flow of intentional and unintentional signals. It's one of the unique functions that separates man from machine, until now.
Pioneering facial recognition technology hasn't yet hit the mainstream. In 2018 it will be in our pockets. But using your face to unlock your phone is just the beginning.
In the suburbs of Israel's financial center, Tel Aviv, a team of engineers is at the forefront of a technological revolution. They're teaching machines to read faces.
The software has the power to identify one face from millions in under one second and it's this precision that makes the technology an effective new tool for surveillance.
Retail stores are using this technology to generate data on customers; tracking their shopping habits and targeting in-store adverts. Churches are even using facial recognition to monitor attendance, and one school in the UK wants to use it to keep tabs on teachers.
There's one country that's ahead of the game, China. Companies have access to a government image database of 700 million people, half its population. But there's the potential for more sinister applications. Researchers have shown that your face can point to your sexuality.
This new ability to record, store, and analyze images of faces on a vast scale will fundamentally change notions of privacy, fairness, and trust.
But tech companies are forging ahead with their plans to make facial recognition an everyday part of our lives.

Searching for round, wood dining tables for your dining establishment? John Boos makes butcher block table rounds in three different species of wood and in eight different sizes that range from 24 inches across all the way up to 60" in diameter. Tables 42-inches round and under are 1-1/2 inches thick, whereas table tops 48 inches across and wider are 1-3/4 inches thick. Plus Boos offers a range of black, metal table bases including discs, discs with footrests, crosses and T-bases. You can even stipulate whether you want your round table tops to be dining or bar-height.
Are Round Dining Tables Right for Your Commercial Establishment?
While there’s no absolute right or wrong answer to this question, there are some generally accepted precepts that might help you decide. For starters, round tables are thought to be less formal and intimidating, so more inviting. Small rounds can be more space efficient for pubs and bars which tend to be frequented by smaller parties of only two or three people. Round tables mid-sized and larger are the way to go in family-style restaurants since they can more easily and efficiently accommodate parties of five or more.

Bike Accident Statistics. Biking Attorneys.
The attorneys at Sanders Law Firm, PLLC have handled cases ranging from broken humerus requiring a permanent rod to quadraplegia with severe brain damage. If you have a biking accident, call us to discuss at 336-724-4707 or email kirk@kirksanderslaw.com. We'll evaluate your case at no cost to you. We represent bicyclists statewide in North Carolina (NC). If the event happened out of state, we will assist you in finding local counsel out-of-state.
This comes from the Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute, which compiled the data from multiple sources. Don't let this deter you from riding. We need more riders and less car drivers.
Interestingly, it should be no surprise, based on a number of contributing factors, that you are far safer to WEAR A HELMET. I believe in helmets. One took the impact for me. I still had a concussion, but would hate to think what would have resulted without the helmet.
Remember: helmets are good for one impact, then they need to be disposed.
* 74 were 14 or younger, a reduction of 58 per cent from the 178 killed in 2000.
* Bicyclist deaths represented 2 per cent of all 2009 traffic fatalities.
* One-seventh of the cyclists killed were between 5 and 15 years old.
* Alcohol involvement was reported in 37% of 2008 deaths.
* Fatal crashes typically were urban (69%) and at intersections (64%).
The NHTSA data is broken down by state on their Web site, and there is more detail available.
For 2008 child injuries, including state breakdowns, see this page on the NHTSA server.
Bicycle injuries and deaths affect children and young people more often than any other age group.
* In 2005, 44 percent of nonfatal bicycle injuries occurred in children and youth age 5 to 20.
* In 2005, the rate per million of nonfatal bicycle injuries in children and youth age 5 to 20 was 462.17 compared to 153.3 overall.
* In 2005, children and youth age 0 to 20 made up 23.4 percent of bicycle fatalities.
* In 2005, the rate per million of bicycle fatalities in children and youth age 5 to 20 was 4.37 compared to 2.64 overall.
* In 2005, children under 15 accounted for 53 percent of bicycle injuries treated in emergency deparments.
* From 1999 to 2002, the average annual cost of bicycle fatalities in children and youth age 0 to 19 was $1.03 billion.
* From 1999 to 2002, the average annual cost of nonfatal bicycle injuries in children and youth age 0 to 19 was $3.6 billion.
* Head injuries accounted for 62.6 percent of bicycle fatalities.
* Collisions with motor vehicles accounted for 75.7 percent of bicycle fatalities.
* 61.7 percent of motor vehicle collision deaths were due to head injury.
CPSC staff has reports of an annual average of 80 children under 16 years of age who died in bicycle-related incidents in recent years.
About half of the 500,000 bicycle-related emergency room-treated injuries in 2007 involved children under the age of 16. When taking part in other recreational activities, CPSC recommends that you wear the right helmet for that activity. Their "Which Helmet for Which Activity" publication helps parents choose the most appropriate helmet.
Statistics from the National Survey of Bicyclist and Pedestrian Attitudes and Behavior Released August, 2008, but based on a survey of 9,616 U.S. residents age 16 and older during the Summer of 2002.
* Half (50%) of bicyclists wear a helmet for at least some trips, with 35 percent using them for all or most trips.
* 46% of those 16 and older have regular access to a bicycle, with access increasing with increases in household income.
* 43 percent ride a bicycle at least once in the summer months, making an estimated 2.484 billion trips during the summer of 2002.
* Bicycling declines with age, with those under 20 most likely to bicycle and doing so more frequently, while the majority over 45 did not bicycle during the summer months.
* The majority of bicycling trips were for recreation or for exercise, while just one in 5 trips were made to conduct errands (14%) or for commuting to work or school (5%).
* About half of all trips (48%) were made on paved roads. An additional 13 percent were on shoulders of paved roads, and 5 percent on bike lanes on roads. One in 7 was made on sidewalks (14%) or bike trails/paths (13%).
* Only half (50%) of bicyclists say bike paths are available in the area they ride, while 32 percent say bike lanes are available.
However, over half of those who do not use available bicycle paths or lanes say they don’t use them because they are not convenient, available, or go where they need to go.
* More than one in 10 bicyclists (13%) felt threatened for their personal safety on the most recent day they rode their bicycle in the past 30 days in the summer of 2002, with 88 percent of these feeling threatened by motorists.
* One in 5 bicyclists rode in the dark or near-dark for at least part of their trip, with 63 percent of these saying they took actions to make themselves more visible to motorists.
* About 4 percent of bicyclists or 2.04 million, were injured while riding in the past two years. About .5 million of these were hit by a motorist.
* Nine of 10 support helmet laws for children, while 62 percent support such laws for adults.
* Nearly half (48%) of those 16 and older are satisfied with how their local community is designed for making bicycle riding safer.
About as many (47%) would like to see changes including more bike lanes (38%) and bike paths (30%).
Less than two percent of motor vehicle crash deaths are bicyclists.
The most serious injuries among a majority of those killed are to the head, highlighting the importance of wearing a bicycle helmet. Helmet use has been estimated to reduce head injury risk by 85 percent.
Twenty-one states and the District of Columbia have helmet laws applying to young bicyclists; none of these laws applies to all riders. Local ordinances in a few states require some or all bicyclists to wear helmets. A nationwide telephone survey estimated that state helmet use laws increase by 18 percent the probability that a rider will wear a helmet. Helmets are important for riders of all ages, especially because 86 percent of bicycle deaths are persons 16 and older.
The following facts are based on analysis of data from the U.S.
Department of Transportation's Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS).
14 percent since 2003. The decline since 1975 among female bicyclists (50 percent) was larger than the decline among male bicyclists (24 percent).
Ninety-one percent of bicyclists killed in 2008 reportedly weren't wearing helmets.

Toronto's Do Make Say Think play restrained orchestral rock.
Akin to Godspeed and featuring a member of Broken Social Scene, instrumental band Do Make Say Think are another sprawling Canadian collective that creates aural presentations documenting the new sonic revolution. Or you could just call them post-rock. If you're into any of the bands on the Constellation roster, you'll be into these guys.
DMST's main strength is the technical wizardry of their drumming, via both machine and man. It is this emphasis on percussion that most noticeably sets this band apart from bands like Godspeed. They do have their fair share of ambient strings and synths, yet it's as if the dramatic sounds support, rather than lead, the beat.
DMST play wistfully restrained music that is best listened to in the dead of winter, as the music equally compliments the bleak season's despair yet leaves hope for the possibility of warmer days ahead.
Do Make Say Think play Southpaw, on Wednesday, March 28th, and Bowery Ballroom, on Thursday, March 29th.

After centuries of feeling excluded, demonized, and separated from their spiritual tradition, progressive Muslims throughout the world are challenging the right of legal scholars and male spiritual leaders to determine the essence of their spirituality. This has manifested itself in an assertion of the right to occupy space in a mosque to pray or to act as an imam, or Muslim spiritual leader. Recent years have seen the proliferation of alternative and inclusive mosque spaces created by individuals who have seen their gender presentations, sexuality, and lifestyle choices condemned by the mainstream Muslim community.
Join speakers Rabi’a Keeble, Ahoo Najafian, and Sughra Ahmed for a roundtable discussion on the changing face of Muslim gender politics, activism, and its challenges.
Rabi’a Keeble is Imam of women’s mosque, Masjid Qalbu Maryam in Berkeley.
Ahoo Najafian is Ira T. Wender Postdoctoral Scholar in Middle East Studies at Carleton College.
Sughra Ahmed is Associate Dean for Religious Life at Stanford University.
Moderated by Alaina Morgan, Postdoctoral Fellow at the Abbasi Program in Islamic Studies and the Department of Religious Studies at Stanford University.

Trevo Review- Is Trevo A Legitimate Business Opportunity?
If you are reading this article, then chances are that you have looked at Trevo, or you are already a part of Trevo. Either way, this article is going to be helpful for you because we will discuss what it will take to become successful with this opportunity. I am not a part of Trevo, so this article will be a non-biased 3rd party review.
This business opportunity is not a scam in any way shape or form. The company is based in Oklahoma and it was started by Mark and Holli Stevens who have over 16 years of experience as network marketing business owners. Mark and Holli have also been very successful distributors in the network marketing industry as well.
What Is Your Responsibility As A Trevo Rep?
If you decide to join this opportunity, there are some things that you should know. First of all, it doesn’t matter how good the opportunity or company is if you don’t know how to introduce people to it. Your job is to introduce new people to your opportunity on a consistent basis.
The cool thing about Trevo is that they have a marketing system in place. All you have to do is get people/traffic to your lead capture page, and the system will do the rest. Opportunities like this make it possible for you to recruit people from anywhere in the world.
The online marketing system that is in place with this opportunity is very impressive and I would expect it convert well for it’s representatives. Also they have an option for you to actually buy leads directly from them. This option could possible make you money, but your profit margins are going to be pretty low if you have to constantly buy leads.
Your main focus as a Trevo Representative should be getting traffic to your lead capture page. If you can learn how to drive traffic to your lead capture page, then you will be able to generate your own leads. When you learn how to generate your own leads, you will start to become very profitable in your business.
The people who know how to drive traffic and generate leads online, are going to take full advantage of this effective marketing system that Trevo has in place for it’s representatives. Overall, this could be a very good opportunity for people to get involved with.

Little-Known Box is the UK’s newest luxurious beauty subscription box and you might have spotted them on your social media because they have, in my opinion, put a lot of effort into getting themselves noticed, no mean feat within a market that seems saturated with beauty boxes offering everything!
Little-Known Box is something a little bit different, every month you will receive a box of carefully selected luxurious beauty products and gifts featuring 'little-known' products, from independent, niche, upcoming and emerging brands. Chosen with ethics and wellness in mind. Having recognised that emerging and small luxury brands are really under-represented in beauty subscription boxes, Little-Known Box aim to fix this gap and use their beauty box to introduce you to some fantastic little-known brands, particularly those specialising in niche beauty fields including; natural/organic, vegan friendly, cruelty free and free-from brands.
Flint and Flint Moisturiser 3x (Full size 50ml rrp £42) - A rich repair cream that protects against glycation, boosts collagen and elastin production and regenerates the skin. Contains a powerful combination of active ingredients including Hyaluronic Acid, Retinol and Malikara Leaf to reverse the signs of premature ageing. Hydrates and nourishes the skin. Whilst the packaging is quite simple and understated, to me it does seem just a little bit masculine and isn't ordinarily something I would usually pick up.
The Vintage Cosmetics Company Eyelash Curlers - These are a limited edition rose gold pair of eyelash curlers and I am quite a fan of The Vintage Cosmetics Company for their cute and kitsch packaging. What makes these curlers slightly different is that they are spring loaded. These are obviously full sized and cost around £7.00.
Medusa Makeup Lipgloss - Described as being fun, vibrant and innovative, Medusa's makeup is made in the USA, Vegan and is Paraben free. I have shade Bite Me which is a fantastic vibrant red shade, whilst I won't be able to get any use out of it as I don't pull of red at all, a friend of mine will and it is perfect for her. Available in 12 different shades they retail at £6.25 (Full sized product $9).
For a first box, I think this is pretty okay, I am not as wowed as I thought I would be, but I am not overly disappointed because there are some new brands for me to try out. A one off box costs £15.95 upon which there is a postage and packaging charge of £3.75. A monthly subscription to this box costs £14.95 and there are further subscription options available.
What do you think to Little-Known Box?
I wish I could get on with eye lash curlers, as my eye lashes need some help. I just find them hard to use.
The cool thing is a box among boxes that is unique and has different products that haven't been heard a lot about. I love getting lippies from brands I have never heard of! Speaking of nail wraps I have to offload about 4 packages!
I've had a few beauty boxes but I'm wary to invest unless I know I can use or regift the contents (nail wraps aren't a favourite of mine either).
What a great box for trying out new things! I could really have done with eyelash curlers in my youth. I used to just push them back with my fingers after applying mascara LOL!
Lovely things in the box, I love the idea of tea scrubs!
This is a nice box to discover brands outside mainstream!
This is a lovely box. I love all the contents especially the curlers.
They really sent you some great stuff. I love the color of that makeup lip gloss. Wow!
There are so many subscription boxes out there, but this one does seem to be standing out from the crowd.
I like the idea of the box getting the name of independent companies out there, especially those pushing the kinder products without parabens etc but personally prefer to buy products one at a time rather than invest in a mixed box.
I've not heard of this company before but it seems like a good gift idea for a beauty lover or a teenage girl who is just beginning to start a beauty collection. The scrub looks and sounds nice - not sure I'd use the eyelash curlers or false nails though.
Super review and really well written. Well done!
I hadn't heard of this beauty box before, there seems to be loads these days!
I've not heard of this box before but must be exciting to get a surprise box through the door!
The box looks great the only thing i would not be too keen on are the nail wraps.
I think it is quite expensive but I do like the sound of the tea scrub and like you am not keen on nail wraps either!
I love the idea of this box. I love that you can find some great lesser known brands. I wouldn't have been too thrilled with those contents though. The eyelash curlers and the lipgloss would be the only items I would use. But definitely interested to see what is in upcoming boxes!

A western theme will highlight the more than 30 kid-friendly booths and activities at the KSL Family Book Festival to be held at Gateway Mall in Salt Lake City on June 15 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
In partnership with Utah Foster Card Foundation's Chalk Art Festival, the Family Book Festival is organized by KSL TV, KSL NewsRadio and KSL’s Read Today program and presented by Security Service Federal Credit Union. Organizers expect an estimated 30,000 people at this year’s event.
Festival-goers will be able to meet and hear first hand from authors, have books signed, have photos taken with characters and participate in a variety of free activities including entertainment, music, KSL personalities and more.
According to studies, reading is the greatest predictor of child success in life. “We know we can achieve our goal of teaching every child to learn to read with the help of parents, grandparents, relatives and neighbors,” says Deanie Wimmer, Read Today chief executive officer and KSL TV anchor.
School summer breaks can cause the average student to lose up to one month of instruction…the so-called “summer slide” (Cooper, 1996).
High quality summer programs can help combat that loss (Rand Corp, 2011).
Studies show that students who read more, read and write better and have larger vocabularies (Cunningham and Stanovich,1998), are more culturally aware (Meek, 1991), have greater insight into human nature and are better decision-makers (Bruner, 1996).
Reading for pleasure has been revealed as the most important indicator of the future success of a child (OECD, 2002), and improvements in literacy, at any point in life, can have a profound effect on an individual (Dugdale, G. and Clark C., 2008).
Men and women with low literacy skills are more likely to be on state benefits, less likely to vote and substantially less likely to own their own homes. Higher literacy rates lead to greater participation in community activities, more stable families, better mental health and a stronger and more flexible workforce (Dugdale, G. and Clark C., 2008).
According to Read Today, research also shows those children who learn to read before age 9, with the help of involved parents at home have a much better chance of thriving in school.

Which version of Windows? This will help us determine which options you have available.
Home Premium, Pro, or Ultimate? Once that is determined, download the appropriate ISO file from here to create an install/ rescue disk.
I'm assuming I need to do load that with the laptop that's having the issue? If so, I can't even get it to the home screen, much less log in.
You can create the disk on another computer. You are just creating a "new" windows install disk. Once you have the right disk, you then boot to that disk on your laptop and look for repair options. You may have to go to the bios to get it to boot to the DVD drive (F2 at the first BIOS screen, IIRC).

The journey began on 10 September 2007 when Sasol Limited shareholders were advised of Sasol’s intention to conclude a broad-based BEE ownership transaction equal to 10% of its issued share capital. The detailed terms of the Transaction were released on SENS on 25 March 2008 and published in the press on 26 March 2008. The Transaction was subject to the passing of special and ordinary resolutions necessary to implement the Transaction and the subsequent registration of the special resolutions by the Registrar of Companies. The special and ordinary resolutions were passed at a general meeting held on 16 May 2008.
In September 2008 participants were allocated either Sasol BEE Ordinary Shares in Sasol Limited (through the Cash Invitation) or Sasol Inzalo Ordinary Shares in Sasol Inzalo Public Limited (RF) (through the Funded Invitation).
One of the pillars of the Sasol Inzalo transaction was the creation of a Sasol Inzalo Foundation Trust. The Sasol Inzalo Foundation website may be found at www.sasolinzalofoundation.org.za.

When sorting buckets by relatedness, JSON "terms" facet must calculate relatedness for every term.
The current implementation uses a standard uninverted approach (either docValues or UnInvertedField) to get facet counts over the domain base docSet, and then uses that initial pass as a pre-filter for a second-pass, inverted approach of fetching docSets for each relevant term (i.e., count > minCount?) and calculating intersection size of those sets with the domain base docSet.
Over high-cardinality fields, the overhead of per-term docSet creation and set intersection operations increases request latency to the point where relatedness sort may not be usable in practice (for my use case, even after applying the patch for SOLR-13108, for a field with ~220k unique terms per core, QTime for high-cardinality domain docSets were, e.g.: cardinality 1816684=9000ms, cardinality 5032902=18000ms).
The attached patch brings the above example QTimes down to a manageable ~300ms and ~250ms respectively. The approach calculates uninverted facet counts over domain base, foreground, and background docSets in parallel in a single pass. This allows us to take advantage of the efficiencies built into the standard uninverted FacetFieldProcessorByArray[DV|UIF]), and avoids the per-term docSet creation and set intersection overhead.

What does energy access mean to you?
It may be a difficult question to answer. Despite energy access goals being a part of UN Sustainable Development Goals, ambiguity still persists about the root meaning of the term.
To help engage the Duke community with the personal, relational, and multifaceted aspects of energy access, a graduate student group invited photo submissions in response to this question.
The Global Energy Access Network (GLEAN) is an interdisciplinary network of graduate and professional students at Duke University who 1) recognize the urgency of the energy access challenge facing the Global South; and 2) aim to advance sustainable, interdisciplinary solutions to address this challenge in their research and professional pursuits.
Recognizing that visual media can highlight the reality of energy poverty in remote, rural settings in new and distinct ways, GLEAN organized the ImaginEnergy Photo Contest—open to students from across the world. The contest received over 40 submissions.
Winners—selected via a social media campaign led by the Duke University Energy Initiative—had the opportunity to display their photos as part of a DUU VisArts curated exhibition at Duke’s Brown Art Gallery in the Bryan Center this summer. The exhibit runs through September 7, 2018.
Their photographs were also on display during the annual meeting of the Sustainable Energy Transitions Initiative (SETI), which was hosted by Duke for the third consecutive year in May 2018.
Yating Li, one of GLEAN's 2017-2018 Coordinators, shares: "With an exhibit like this, the dialogue is very different. It creates space and allows you to have some personal reflection, like an art piece. It lets you learn and also think--how does this relate to me?"
Gallery visitors were invited to leave comments in a notebook. Of the reactions, Li says, "Everyone has very different readings of what is shown in a museum setting."
Li notes several standout photos for her: "There's one of a landscape with both solar and wind. It's become almost a norm to see renewables as part of the landscape. There's also one of a woman with a clean cookstove. That photo reminds me of incremental change--you can sense the joy she has with that change."
If you haven't had a chance to check out the exhibit, head over to the Brown Art Gallery at the Bryan Center by September 7th.
