text: Rental housing is home to a growing share of the nation’s increasingly diverse households, but even with the strong rebound in multifamily construction, tight rental markets make it difficult for low- and moderate-income renters to find housing they can afford. As a result, the number of cost-burdened renters set another record last year. Addressing the challenge of affordability in a time of rising overall demand will require greater efforts from both the public and private sectors to expand the range of rental housing options.

NASA's durable twin Mars rovers have successfully explored the surface of the mysterious red planet for a full Martian year (687 Earth days). Opportunity starts its second Martian year Dec. 12; Spirit started its new year three weeks ago. The rovers' original mission was scheduled for only three months.
"The rovers went through all of the Martian seasons and are back to late summer," said Dr. John Callas of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. He is deputy rover project manager. "We're preparing for the challenge of surviving another Martian winter."
Both rovers keep finding new variations of bedrock in areas they are exploring on opposite sides of Mars. The geological information they collect increases evidence about ancient Martian environments including periods of wet, possibly habitable conditions.
Spirit is descending from the top of "Husband Hill" to examine a platform-like structure seen from the summit. It will then hurry south to another hill in time to position itself for maximum solar-cell output during the winter.
"Our speed of travel is driven as much by survival as by discovery, though the geology of Husband Hill continues to fascinate, surprise, puzzle and delight us," said Dr. Steve Squyres of Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., principal investigator for the rover's science instruments. "We've got this dramatic topography covered with sand and loose boulders, then, every so often, a little window into the bedrock underneath."
From the composition and texture of more than six different types of rock inspected, scientists deduced what this part of Mars was like long ago. "It was a hot, violent place with volcanic explosions and impacts," Squyres said. "Water was around, perhaps localized hot springs in some cases and trace amounts of water in other cases.
Opportunity is examining bedrock exposures along a route between Endurance and Victoria craters. It recently reached what appears to be a younger layer of bedrock than examined inside Endurance. In Endurance, the lowest layers of bedrock were deposited as windblown dunes. Some of the upper layers were deposited as underwater sediments, indicating a change from drier to wetter conditions over time.
The bedrock Opportunity began seeing about two-thirds of the way to Victoria appears to lie higher than the upper layers at Endurance, but its texture is more like the lowest layer, petrified sand dunes. This suggests the change from drier to wetter environmental conditions may have been cyclical.
Iron-rich granules are abundant in all the layers at Endurance but are much smaller in the younger bedrock. These granules were formed by effects of water soaking the rocks. One possibility for why they are smaller is these layers might have spent less time wet. Another is the material in these layers might have had a different chemistry to begin with.
Rover researchers are presenting their latest data today during the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco. Images and information about the rovers and their discoveries are available on the Web at: http://www.nasa.gov/vision/universe/solarsystem/mer_main.html .

When Sunlight Technology was created in 2011 it was our intention of creating a strong business which invested using a socially-responsible business strategy. We wanted to make expensive renewable energy technology more attainable to families across the UK. The company researched domestic solar PV technology and determined that the technology was both reliable and provided strong benefits to the end-user of the system.
Sunlight quickly developed an innovative product which utilised government-backed subsidies and allowed for domestic solar PV systems to be installed on domestic properties at zero cost to the owner of the property. Sunlight paid for the systems via the subsidy and the homeowner can use all the electricity generated by the system for free, it was a win win!
Fast forward 7 years and the company has grown from initially owning around 200 systems to now owning a portfolio of nearly 2,800. We are delighted to be helping thousands of families across the UK access completely free electricity. Furthermore, we are proud to offer free maintenance of every installation in the Sunlight portfolio.
Managed from Sunlight’s office in the heart of Manchester city centre, the portfolio is closely monitored by our experienced team of administrative staff. Each Sunlight installation is fitted with an internet-connected monitoring meter which the Sunlight staff connect to each day to ensure that the system is performing to expectation. If we detect an issue with a system our maintenance team will note that a maintenance call-out is needed, contact the homeowner and arrange for a Sunlight engineer to visit the property at a time convenient to them. The company has recently integrated new management software to further improve the efficiency of its asset monitoring.
Sunlight’s portfolio has recently experienced its best quarter and the company continues to implement measures to further improve its performance. Customer satisfaction and asset performance remain the two most important considerations for the company and will continue to shape its business strategy. The company is embarking on an exciting expansion plan and will soon announce some exciting news regarding the future of the company, stay tuned for more!

Now in paperback, the new heart-stopping suspense thriller from #1New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong.
Riley and Max know that if they can't get out, they'll be nextbut they're about to discover that even escape doesn't equal freedom.
KELLEY ARMSTRONG is the New York Times bestselling author of, among other titles, the Otherworld series for adults, and the Darkest Powers (The Summoning, The Awakening and The Reckoning); Darkness Rising (The Gathering, The Calling and The Rising) and Age of Legend (Sea of Shadows, Empire of Night and the forthcoming Forest of Ruin) trilogies for teens. Kelley lives near Aylmer, Ontario, with her family. You can visit her website at www.kelleyarmstrong.com. The author lives in Aylmer, ON.
The Masked Truth 4.8 out of 5 based on 0 ratings. 8 reviews.
Kelley Armstrong once again writes well thought out, layered characters and a plot that grabs your attention and urges you on. This book stands out because of the narrators and the way they describe living with mental illness- particularly anxiety, depression, PTSD, and Schizophrenia. The book can be a good way to allow teens to think about mental health while still entertaining. Armstrong provides an insightful look at the challenges mental illness presents and the way society tends to disparage those who battle with it.
I love Women of the Otherworld series, Darkest Powers, Darkness Rising, Cainsville, Nadia Stafford, City of the Lost, and now the Masked Truth to why Armstrong is my favorite author. She tells amazing and different stories every time!
You know when you finish a book and just sit there in awed silence? This book did that for me. The characters are phenomenal and the plot is non stop and pulse pounding. I'd absolutely recommend this book to family and friends! Seriously go to the store or order this online today! you wont regret it!
So very, very good Contemporary Young Adult Suspense, Romantic Elements Riley Vasquez was babysitting when the couple she was working for was brutally murdered and now she is haunted by that fact. Max Cross has been given a life-altering diagnosis that he suffers under the shadow of and he doesn’t dare reveal any of it. Neither of them wants to spend a weekend away at therapy camp with five other teens with “issues.” Unfortunately that is exactly where they are when three masked men burst in and take the group hostage. They are in a building with no windows and the exits are sealed shut. They don’t have their phones. And their captors are on a killing spree. Riley and Max know they will be next if they can’t get out. They also discover that even when they escape it doesn’t equal freedom. This is a story that starts out fast and never lets up on the pace. It takes some fantastic twists and turns that keeps the reader guessing until the very end. Just as they think they have it figured out something else is thrown into the mix that will have readers guessing all over again as to what exactly is going on. This is an amazing book that anyone that enjoys suspense should definitely read. This is a non-stop roller coaster ride that will stay with the reader long after they are done with the book.
The Masked Truth is a thought-provoking thriller, one which will appeal to those who crave action and mystery, but appreciate a challenging plot at the same time. Reasons to Read: 1. A sensitive approach to mental health: I'm happy to see more books that tackle the subject of mental health, but I'm even happier to see books which are sensitive to the experiences of people who experience mental health issues. The Masked Truth is particularly good at this, while featuring a number of characters with various mental health diagnoses, yet treats them as respectfully as they should be. Their struggles are acknowledged and readers are given just a hint of some of the internal struggles one might experience. 2. A complex, engaging mystery: I thought I had figured out what twists there would be in the story fairly early on, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover that I was wrong and the book wasn't as easy to figure out as I originally believed. The plot takes quite a few turns in different directions, which is important. I like a mystery that keeps me guessing for the length of the book. There were a few aspects of the storyline that I had a harder time with because they seemed too unlikely to be believable. They felt a little too convenient for the plot which made them feel forced and disrupted the flow of the story and left me with quite a few questions when I had finished reading. While the mystery was good, it didn't feel like it was wrapped up in a satisfying way. But the real strength of The Masked Truth is its characters. I loved Riley and Max, both so different from each other and different from me. Even while struggling with incredibly difficult circumstances, all of the characters felt lifelike and genuine. I cared about their stories and what happened to them. And their relationships developed naturally, in a way that seemed very authentic. Review copy received from Penguin Random House Canada for review; no other compensation was received.
This book is really intense, and you really want the protagonists to make it through.
I must say this was not the book I was expecting... The extent of my knowledge on mental disorders doesn't go past a high school psych class and I have no way of understanding... but this novel gave me a glimpse of the despair and fear that comes with it. Combined with the situation at hand it quickly progressed to more than just a hostage type situation. I can't say it was a happy ending... I was sad and a little anxious until the very end... much like the main characters must have felt. However, the bond between the two main characters was incredibly heartwarming and entertaining. At the very end... I was happy. And I'm glad I read it. Knowing that no matter what... everything was going to be right as rain.

The rally, which was announced last month as scheduled to take place on January 11, was cancelled 'because of the current situation in Paris,' Holland4Israel group wrote.
Citing security concerns, organizers of a pro-Israel rally in Amsterdam cancelled the event after meeting with police and city officials.
The rally, which was announced last month as scheduled to take place on January 11, was cancelled “because of the current situation in Paris and in coordination with the police, the municipality and security,” members of the Holland4Israel group wrote Friday on their Facebook page.
On Friday, several people were killed when an Islamist took over a kosher supermarket in eastern Paris. Police killed him when they moved in to free more than 20 hostages who survived the attack.
Two men who are believed to have been his accomplices were also killed at the same time in another takeover operation by police at a printing shop north of Paris, where they had been holding one hostage.
The two men, brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi, are believed to have killed 12 people on Wednesday at the offices of the Charlie Hebdo weekly, which ran numerous cartoons lampooning Islam.
“Currently, safety cannot be guaranteed and we, as an organization, do not wish to see you putting yourselves in danger,” the organizers of the rally from the organization Holland4Israel wrote.
Anti-Semitic attacks have increased in the Netherlands since July, when Israel went to war against Hamas in Gaza over the organization’s repeated targeting of civilians with rockets.
In September, Dutch police reportedly advised the City of The Hague against allowing the erection of a sukkah at a small Jewish-owned housing project that is surrounded by a heavily-Muslim neighborhood.

1. Peter Stubbe – From Germany. Stubbe is perhaps one of the most infamous of all werewolves and sometimes referred to as the Werewolf of Bedburg; no account of werewolf history goes without mentioning Stubbe. Stubbe was put to trial in 1589 for being a werewolf. He claimed that the Devil gave him a magic belt which caused him to transform into a werewolf.
2. Thiess of Kaltenbrun – a man from Livonia in 1692 that claimed to be a “Hound of God”. He claimed as a werewolf he transformed 3 times a year (primarily on St. Lucia’s Day, the Pentecost, and St. John’s Day) and traveled to Hell to fight the Devil. He was eventually banished for his beliefs. Thiess is often referred to as the “Livonian Werewolf” and his story has been studied and debated extensively by historians. He claims to have transformed by putting on a special wolf pelt which he gave to someone else…he however later recanted this and said that he was simply able to tranform without any assistance of external devices.
3. Jean Grenier – A 14 year old boy sentenced in 1603 in France for being a werewolf. Grenier claimed to have transformed into a werewolf by use of a special paste applied to his skin which turned him into werewolf form.
4. Pierre Bourgot & Michel Verdun – Admitted to being werewolves in 1521. Most famously known as the Werewolves of Poligny. Bourgot claims to have been recruited to become the servant of a demon. The demon eventually turned him into a werewolf. Claimed to turn into werewolves by rubbing a special herbal mixture on their skin.
5. Hans of Estonia – An 18 year old who went on trial during the werewolf witch trials of 1651 for being a werewolf. He confessed to being a werewolf since he was 16, and that a “man in black” had given him the powers. He denied that he had any type of pact with the Devil as his accusers claimed.
Hey I’m one of it too! Naaaaaahhhhhh! just kidding.

Episode Review of "Dark Angel" Season 2: "Two"
Episode Review of Dark Angel Season 2: "Two"
This is Dark Angel's first "monster of the week" episode for season two, in which a Manticore monster shows up and Max must stop it. When I watched the series during its original airings, I felt like there were a lot of these in the second season and that they were bad. This episode isn't that bad, but it's definitely not the best this series has to offer.
A monster is on the loose killing policemen in Seattle. One that survived described his attacker as a combination man and dog, which of course makes us think of our favorite dog-man, Joshua. Max doesn't think Joshua could possibly kill anyone, but Joshua's strange behavior makes her worry. First, Joshua has a strange injury that he claims he got from venturing outside to find food. Later, he disappears completely.
Meanwhile, Alec has returned to make Max's life miserable. He manages to score a job (and bike) at Jam Pony, because Normal remembers seeing his victorious cage fights in "Proof of Purchase" and he is a fan. It's clear to Max and to us that Alec is using the job as a means to several ends. First, a little cash. Second, he is obviously scoping out the houses he delivers to in case there is anything valuable to steal. Third, he's running some kind of probably-illegal racket on the side that he employs Sketchy in temporarily. Max's moral judgment on some of Alec's actions is dubious, since she frowns on him potentially stealing from their customers, but obviously has no problem being a thief herself when it suits her. She justifies it by saying she only steals from bad guys; even Logan can't hide a smile when she claims this. We're not clear on exactly what Alec's side business is, but by the end of the episode he manages to beat up some ruffians and steal their cash, thereby repaying Logan for the cash used to save Alec's life in "Proof of Purchase".
Logan has heard reports concerning the murdered policemen and tries to prod Max into action, but she refuses to tell him about Joshua's behavior and obstinately refuses to do anything until there is proof that a Manticore escapee is involved. Logan might have been wrong about the transgenic being responsible in "Radar Love", but he's right this time. We have a scene where someone who looks just like Joshua kills a policeman. Logan visits the one surviving victim, and the victim identifies Joshua from tabloid photos. He also says his attacker has a barcode. When Logan relays this information to Max, it's a clear tip-off to her and us that Joshua can't be the killer: as we saw in "Proof of Purchase", Joshua doesn't have a barcode, since he was created first.
Max tracks Joshua into the sewers and neglected subway system and eventually encounters both Joshua and his look-alike, whom Joshua says is his brother Isaac. Isaac tries to attack her, but the whole affair is broken up by the police, who have somehow found them. Isaac and Max escape (separately), but Joshua is captured by the police. He is treated rather roughly, since he is the suspected cop-killer. He learns far too late that he should've heeded Max's warning to stay out of sight. Even in the police station, the police beat up Joshua until he speaks - they are so shaken by that that they leave him alone.
Max tells Logan about Isaac, and then leaves it up to Logan to try to stop Isaac while she breaks Joshua out of prison. Logan calls Alec for help. The two of them find Isaac in his lair in the sewers, but Isaac flees and manages to lock them into the dank room. It has a lovely collection of stolen tongues.
Meanwhile, Max busts Joshua out of jail. She finally confronts Joshua in Sandeman's house, and Joshua reveals the truth: he has a younger "brother" named Isaac. Isaac was created after Joshua (hence the episode title "Two"), and looks a lot like Joshua. However, Isaac is psychopathic. When their "Father" left them at Manticore, Isaac would not stop crying. The guards physically abused him to try to quiet him, and eventually cut out his tongue. Joshua believes that Isaac sees the policemen as Manticore guards, and is getting even. Max tells Joshua that Isaac must be stopped from killing anymore people, but Joshua won't let Max hurt her. We see that Max doesn't know Joshua as well as she thinks, as Joshua pushes her around, finally shoving her hard enough to delay her following him.
Max catches up to Joshua confronting Isaac. It's not clear whether Isaac is violent toward Joshua or even recognizes him, because Isaac immediately attacks Max. Joshua pleads with him not to kill her, but is force to kill Isaac so that he will stop. The threat to the city is neutralized, but Joshua is heartbroken. He buries Isaac in Sandeman's back yard, and finally makes up with Max.
As this episode shows, the responsibilities never lessen for Max in her role as freer of the Manticore mutants. She personally takes responsibility for all the bad things they do. I suppose there is some truth to that, but she did not make all the transgenics be like they are, nor did she tell them to go out and kill. She also needs to take responsibility for all the good things the transgenics will eventually bring to society, and the fact that they will have somewhat normal lives. Logan tries to point this out to her, but she's not listening.
The story behind Isaac is tragic, but unsatisfying. If Joshua had this dear brother, why wasn't he mentioned before? For that matter, why didn't Joshua stick with him when they were all running from Manticore? This is a bit convenient for the plot.
The part of the plot involving Alec is clearly set-up for later on when we find out what trouble he's getting into. Does he have a plan, or is he just feeling out different kinds of criminal rackets? I did enjoy his comment to Logan when they were looking for Isaac in the sewers that they were only doing it because Max was "hot". I did wonder why he agreed to help Logan - I still think it has less to do with hotness than Alec trying to get on Max's good side as insurance on future events. I don't think he feels much sympathy for the non-human Manticore escapees, even Joshua.
What does this episode do for the series? Not much. Another strange transgenic was introduced and killed. Joshua should have learned a lesson about interacting with the public. I had been wondering if the dark areas Logan and Alec were wandering through might lead them to Lydecker's "archaeological dig" that he found in "Proof of Purchase", but it doesn't seem like that was the case.

Congress politician Shashi Tharoor has avoided going to jail immediately after he won anticipatory bail from a Patiala House court.
The bail has been granted with two conditions — he cannot go outside India without taking prior permission from the court, and he should not try to influence witnesses or evidence.
The trial of the case, in which Tharoor is accused of ‘abetting’ the suicide of his wife, will start on Saturday.
Tharoor has maintained that his wife did not commit suicide nor did he murder her.
Delhi Police had initially called the case one of murder, but later made it a suicide case after they were not able to corroborate their case.
On 17 January 2014, Sunanda was found dead in room number 345 of the Leela Palace hotel in Chanakyapuri, New Delhi, where the couple were putting up.
Pushkar had been suffering from a mysterious illness before her death, but was unable to get it diagnosed despite have herself examined by the best doctors.
Days before her death, she was examined at Kerala Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS). She had apparently been suffering from a rheumatological illness. Rheumatological illnesses are those that affect muscles, joints and bones.
A body of four doctors set up by the government to examine findings by the FBI and AIIMS into the death failed to come up with conclusive results in 2015.
The examination of Pushkar’s internal organs revealed traces of ethyl alcohol, caffeine, acetaminophen and cotinine.
Nevertheless, the AIIMS board “reserved its comment” on specifying the exact poison that killed Pushkar, citing limitations within the viscera report.
Besides being Tharoor’s wife, Pushkar was a successful Indian businesswoman. She was a sales director in the Dubai-based TECOM Investments, and a co-owner of the India-based Rendezvous Sports World (RSW), a cricket franchise in the Indian Premier League.
Two days before her death, a series of intimate messages, supposedly sent by the Pakistani journalist Mehar Tarar to Tharoor, were posted on Tharoor’s Twitter account. The messages reportedly proclaimed Tarar’s love for Tharoor.

A computational simulation procedure is described for the coupled response of multilayered multimaterial composite engine structural components that are subjected to simultaneous multidisciplinary thermal, structural, vibration, and acoustic loading including the effect of hostile environments. The simulation is based on a three-dimensional finite element analysis technique in conjunction with structural mechanics codes and with the acoustic analysis methods. The composite material behavior is assessed at the various composite scales, i.e., the laminate/ply/fiber and matrix constituents, via a nonlinear material characterization model. Sample cases exhibiting nonlinear geometric, material, loading, and environmental behavior of aircraft engine fan blades are presented. Results for deformed shape, vibration frequencies, mode shapes, and acoustic noise emitted from the fan blade are discussed for their coupled effect in hot and humid environments. Results such as acoustic noise for coupled composite-mechanics/heat transfer/structural/vibration/acoustic analyses demonstrate the effectiveness of coupled multidisciplinary computational simulation and the various advantages of composite materials compared to metals.

Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne, left, and Fiat Chairman John Elkann say FCA doesn't need a deal and will look opportunistically at combinations with peers that have operations outside Europe's overcrowded car market.
BALOCCO, Italy (Bloomberg) -- Fiat Chrysler Automobiles CEO Sergio Marchionne sees potential to form a new No. 1 automaker as companies grapple with low returns on the growing amount of money needed to develop a new car.
“There is room to create one guy which will be bigger” from the outset than current leader Toyota Motor Corp., Marchionne said in a joint interview for Bloomberg Businessweek with Chairman John Elkann at Fiat’s Balocco test track in northern Italy. “The industry needs it, as it’s still very fragmented” for the amount of capital required to develop and produce new vehicles.
Marchionne is one of the few executives to pull off a recent merger in the auto industry. Chrysler’s former partner Daimler AG sold the U.S. automaker at a loss after culture clashes limited the extent of the savings generated from the combination. Similar issues scuttled plans by Volkswagen AG and Suzuki Motor Corp. to work together. The two have been in arbitration for years as the Japanese carmaker tries to force VW to sell a 19.9 percent stake.
Willingness to combine could increase as the auto industry gets even more competitive. Regulators are requiring ever cleaner vehicles, while consumers demand more gadgetry such as voice control, in-car Internet and self-driving features. Those burdens combine with modest growth expectations. IHS Inc. forecasts that car sales will increase globally by about 3.5 percent a year on average through 2017.
The level of competition, capital needs and cyclical nature of the auto industry should force more mergers and acquisitions, said Richard Hilgert, a Morningstar Inc. analyst in Chicago. “These companies strive for economies of scale to keep prices down,” he said.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV, the entity being created from the merger with its U.S. unit, “will be ready to participate” in the consolidation process that might take place over the next five to 10 years “if it makes sense,” said Elkann, 38, who hired Marchionne in 2004, when the Turin-based manufacturer was near bankruptcy.
The two executives said the carmaker, the world’s seventh largest, doesn’t need a deal and will look opportunistically at combinations with peers that have operations outside Europe’s overcrowded car market. Neither identified likely participants in the industry’s consolidation.
“It’s as important to walk away from the table as it is to sit down,” said Marchionne, 62, while smoking Muratti cigarettes and sipping espresso after accelerating his black Ferrari Enzo to more than 300 kilometers per hour (186 mph).
Fiat Chrysler shares will start trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Oct. 13. The company premiered the Fiat 500X crossover at the Paris auto show last week. The model, which shares engines, transmission and other key parts with the Jeep Renegade, is an effort to show that the combination has the firepower to compete with larger global rivals like VW and General Motors Co.
“There is always talk of mergers in this industry and obviously given the research and development costs that are being faced to meet new regulations, it certainly would make sense to some degree,” said Ian Fletcher, an IHS analyst in London.
Even without a deal, Fiat says it aims to climb to sixth place in the global ranking by expanding sales with vehicles such as the Renegade and a series of new Alfa Romeo models. Fiat Chrysler has said it will deliver 7 million cars in 2018, compared with last year’s 4.4 million. That was less than half Toyota’s sales.
Elkann, who also runs Exor SpA -- the holding company of the Agnelli family, which founded Fiat and still owns 30 percent of the company -- plans to back the carmaker for the long term.
Fiat Chrysler’s board will meet at the end of October to evaluate the company’s finances for its 48 billion euro ($60.7 billion) expansion plan. If fresh capital is needed, Elkann said he’s ready to support the carmaker’s implementation of its five-year plan, which will be Marchionne’s swan song.

A newly released report questions the activist tendencies of one of Louisiana’s regional appellate courts, where a number of rulings seem to ignore well-established legal statutes in an apparent attempt to manipulate the law to achieve preferred outcomes.
Louisiana’s 3rd Circuit Court of Appeal, which has jurisdiction in an area that stretches across Lafayette and Lake Charles and from Cameron to Natchitoches, has the role of reviewing the legality of procedures and interpretation by lower courts.
Last week I posed these questions: Do we in the U.S. feel comfortable with how we select our Commander in Chief? Do we think it efficient?
I suggested that, just to have a new focus, pay attention, even if for just a few seconds, to the media coverage that is being given to Iowa in the next couple of weeks. Some in the national media would cause us to think that the status of Western civilization is at stake. It would be scary if this is even partially true.

After many years at Double Fine studios, Dave Gardner joined Squanch Games as Senior Animator. He worked on just about every project at Double Fine since Brutal Legend, including Broken Age, The Cave, Costume Quest and many more!
Dave is an avid gamer and has known he wanted to work in the game industry since he was 12. He got his start working at Sony on a game called Rise to Honor and then went on to work on Starcraft Ghost and Conan at Nihilistic Software before moving on to Double Fine.
A California native who grew up in Laguna Beach, Dave moved out to Raleigh, North Carolina expecting to see nothing but tractors and cows. He was disappointed by how progressive and modern he found it to be (we even have electricity and running water!), so he found a little farm 15 minutes from downtown to live out his rural dream. Now his neighbors consist of horses, geese, deer and other woodland animals and he feels like a Disney princess.
Dave’s favorite hobby is collecting hobbies. His personality is a series of weird facts, random contradictions and strange interests. Some of them include “sailing, motorcycle riding and repair, being zen, piano, golf, baseball, cooking, eating, eating, cooking, eating, eating, and eating.” If he could only eat one kind of food for the rest of his life it would be Persian food. He also loves anime, especially from the 70’s 80’s and 90’s, and claims he can watch every episode of Sliders without sleeping.

A couple of years ago, fresh from the laidback world of college, I decided to start a blog. At first, I didn’t know what to write about. My first few posts ranged from mundane rants, to some highfalutin sentiments (or so I thought). In fact, my WordPress ID was snooty at best (read: thoughtologist).
Eventually, I found my niche, and decided to concentrate on fashion blogging. What I did was to critique the new collections of brands and fashion houses, and to curate the really good ones, at least according to my tastes. In order to satisfy the visual appetite of my readers—and also to entice new ones—I created a Lookbook account. It helped that I was really into fashion and I liked to dress up.
However, after being active in the blogging sphere for almost a year, I stopped posting updates since law school was then becoming more and more demanding. This was regrettable, since things were already beginning to take off (again, so I thought). I started to receive invites to some events and product launches, in exchange for spreading the news to my own network. You know, the typical type of exchange deals.
Fast-forward to the present, I just laugh whenever I remember that phase in my life. Truth be told, I tried to pass off myself as some sort of a fashion blogger, not really because of my interest in fashion, nor even my passion in writing—but rather, I was trying to be relevant.
In this day and age where someone’s influence is measured by the number of likes an Instagram post has generated, or by the number of one’s Twitter followers, trying to fit in has become a lot harder. Social media has been regarded as a ticket to success, and in most instances, a key to fame and fortune.
Let’s admit it: you can’t be considered cool enough unless you have an active online presence. The more invested you are in social media, the cooler you are perceived to be. The name of the game is popularity; the rules of the game are limitless. It is a matter of being in the scene, to be seen.
Social networking has pervaded our lives so much, to the point that the distinctions between our personal and virtual spaces have become immensely blurred. Chances are, the prevailing subjects of conversations are shaped by what has been trending lately online. In fact, they might have been so grossly intertwined, to the point that you cannot distinguish anymore which one is which.
The dichotomy does not end there. This in turn creates another confusion, as to between what is real and what is imagined. Social media take us to another dimension—a world that may in fact not be grounded with reality. Since we have control over our own accounts, we have the capacity to choose what to post online, and therefore, the capacity to dictate what we want others to see and think about us.
Naturally, what we choose to post are enhanced versions of ourselves. Think of this as a digital marketing plan: we brainstorm some preconceived ideas of what personalities we want to project—artsy dude, privileged kid, know-it-all intellectual, carefree partygoer, wannabe hipster, or whatever—and through what we like, tweet, or share, the grand plan is executed. Our online personas are transformed into virtual résumés. Through social media platforms, we are able to sell ourselves.
Not that this approach is entirely flawed. After all, whether we accept it or not, we resort to this in order to seek relevance. We try our best to please others, so that we may find ourselves worthy of being accepted into the evolving notion of a person relevant to society.
Ultimately, social media is power. Once unimaginable things can now turn into great possibilities. This is where we must hold ourselves responsible to utilize its potential for the benefit of the greater majority, and not just our self-serving whims. But I have to admit, this is easier said than done.
Hence, the real challenge is to try to live out what we project online the best way we can, without any pretensions. Admittedly, it should be the other way around—that the virtual must merely mirror what happens in real-life. However, the prevailing set-up dictates that it is more feasible to do the opposite.

The searing new documentary Above and Beyond tells the incredible true story of a random bunch of men who jeopardized their lives to make sure a struggling nation reached their dream of independence. It is a story that highlights true courage and it is a tale many probably don’t even know about.

No long-term deal is expected between the Rams and franchised safety Lamarcus Joyner by Monday's deadline, though the two sides continue talking, a league source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The second-year tight end out of Iowa arrived with little fanfare, but he's showing plenty of potential in Kyle Shanahan's 49ers offense.
There's a changing of the guard afoot at the tight end position in the NFL, and these six players could become the next household names.

A relatively uncommon condition characterized by loose, easily everted upper eyelids. Floppy eyelid syndrome (FES) is often seen in overweight, middle-aged males. Some of these patients also suffer from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
In the majority of cases, diagnosis is made by the classic appearance and effortless or spontaneous eversion of the eyelids. There are few ancillary tests to consider beyond the normal ocular evaluation, though vital dye staining (e.g., sodium fluorescein, rose bengal and/or lissamine green) could help to assess the severity of any associated keratopathy.
Treatment for FES consists primarily of lubricating the ocular surface and safeguarding the eye from nocturnal damage. Isotonic artificial tears, used liberally throughout the day, help to eliminate mucous debris and promote corneal healing. In cases of moderate or profound epitheliopathy, consider more viscous lubricants such as Systane or Refresh Liquigel on a qid basis. At bedtime, the patient should instill either a bland ophthalmic ointment (e.g. Tears Naturale P.M.) or mild antibiotic ointment and apply a protective eye shield, or simply tape the lids in a closed position. Substantial, recalcitrant cases that do not respond to primary therapy could require surgical intervention. Most commonly, this involves a lateral eyelid tightening procedure at the lateral canthus, or a horizontal lid shortening procedure by full-thickness resection of the lateral one-third of the lid margin.67 Lateral tarsorrhaphy has been suggested for noncompliant patients with severe disease.
As important as managing the ocular sequelae of FES is addressing the associated problem of obstructive sleep apnea. OSA is a potentially fatal condition that has been linked to pulmonary hypertension, congestive heart failure and cardiac arrhythmia. Weight loss and consultation with a sleep physician for appropriate studies are highly recommended, considering the significant comorbidities of both obesity and OSA. At least one study has demonstrated notable improvement of FES when OSA is perfectly addressed.
Many patients with FES manifest attendant blepharitis, particularly meibomian gland dysfunction. Rosacea has also been found in association with both FES and OSA. Strongly consider a trial of oral doxycycline 100mg bid for six to 12 weeks.
When interviewing patients with FES, always remember to inquire about prominent snoring or gasping episodes during sleep. In this regard, realize that a spouse or family member could actually prove to be a more reliable resource than the patient! Any such findings consistent with OSA warrant consultation with a sleep physician, otolaryngologist or pulmonologist.

Source: TransGlobe Energy. In November 2018 TransGlobe Energy announced a potential light oil discovery with its SGZ-6X exploration well on the South Ghazalat concession in Egypt’s Western Desert, about 300 km west of Cairo. The company has now confirmed this to be a major discovery, having announced that on test the well flowed a combined 3,840 bopd of light (35–38° API) oil from three intervals in the Cenomanian Upper and Lower Bahariya Formations. Based on these positive results, it will begin preparing a development plan for the field.
Since 2012 TransGlobe has steadily built up its acreage position in the Western Desert and now has approximately 4,625 km2 covering three concessions: South Alamein, North West Sitra and South Ghazalat, operator in all three. The company committed to a work programme of US$8 million at South Ghazalat in the first phase, consisting of 3D seismic and two wells.

The 1,414 km2 South Ghazalat PSC is located in the prolific Abu Gharadig Basin, a deep east–west trending asymmetric graben, about 300 km wide and 60 km north–south.

Hydrocarbon exploration success offshore Egypt to date is mainly associated with the prolific Pliocene sequence in the Nile Delta Basin, but as the recent Zohr discovery shows, there are other potential plays to follow. Here, we look at the relatively unexplored area of offshore West Egypt.
The South Falkland Basin has remained below the industry radar. Pioneering exploration efforts are slowly revealing the potential of this new frontier.

Partitioning a hard drive is quite easy. To many people it’s very difficult because they have had their drive partitioned from the vendor and never had to go through the process on their own. As a result, a fear grown in subconscious mind – ‘what if I ruin the drive?’ Ruining a hard drive is difficult, you may lose your data but bricking a whole drive by just trying to partition it – nope, doesn’t sound much legit. However, to begin with disk partitioning a partition manager is absolutely required and our pick is the EaseUS Partition Master. Windows 7 and later versions come with an effective partition utility built in, yet we wouldn’t pick that. We have described why.
Inside disk management, there is a partition utility and it comes built in with Windows 7. The same utility was available in few previous versions as well, but the one in Windows 7 happens to be the best one. However, comparing this partition magic Windows 7 with other utilities make us reach the conclusion – there are lack of features in the built in utility. For basic installation of Windows on a brand new hard drive the Disk Management in Windows 7 works just fine. But for advanced operations like defining partition table, managing different partition tables like MBR and GBP is not possible on Windows 7 Disk Management Utility. For full functionality, using a third party tool like EaseUS Partition Master is always recommended.
The first inability of Windows 7 Disk Management we have noticed was, merging partition with each other. Two adjacent partitions can’t be merged using Windows 7 Disk Management but it was doable on the EaseUS Partition Master software. Resizing or moving partitions just like you want isn’t possible on partition magic Windows 7, either. However, the Windows 7 tool supports working with dynamic volumes.
Though Windows 7 utility is a newer version than FAT disk format, yet the partition tool can’t resize or extend a FAT partition, can do with NTFS though. Breaking all partitions, deleting all partitions, changing the scheme and hiding the labels – all these advanced tasks are on the ‘impossible’ list of Windows 7 disk management.
On the other hand, EaseUS Partition Master can do all of these.
The basic version of EaseUS Partition Master is free. Being the free version, it is still open to all the basic features like partitioning a hard drive, merging or deleting partitions, MBR and GBP table support etc. are supported on the free version. The latter versions are paid, starting from $39.95 to $699. The basic difference is in the licenses, they range from one to many for personal use to business and service providing. The largest hard drive support for paid versions is 16 TB. The additional features are support for Windows Server Edition, unlimited usage capability, technical support from EaseUS etc.
Even the free version is capable of most tasks a home user would need. For further requirements, EaseUS Partition Master Professional is totally worth the investment.

Federal regulations define an illicit discharge as …any discharge to an MS4 that is not composed entirely of stormwater… with some exceptions. These exceptions include discharges from NPDES-permitted industrial sources and discharges from fire-fighting activities.
Illicit discharges are considered illicit because Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) are not designed to accept, process, or discharge such non-stormwater wastes.
Discharges from MS4s often include wastes and wastewater from non-stormwater sources. A study conducted in 1987 in Sacramento, California, found that almost one-half of the water discharged from a local MS4 was not directly attributable to precipitation runoff. A significant portion of these dry weather flows were from illicit and/or inappropriate discharges and connections to the MS4.
Pollutant levels from these illicit discharges have been shown in the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) studies to be high enough to significantly degrade receiving water quality and threaten aquatic, wildlife, and human health.

Imaginate were commissioned to design the exhibition and accompanying collateral for The World Rugby Museum's special exhibition celebrating the life and work of pop-artist and sculptor Gerald Laing (1936 - 2011).
Gerald Laing first made his name in the 1960s among a group of emerging American pop-artists that included Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Robert Indiana and Jim Rosenquist. In later years he turned his hand to sculpture and left his imprint all over Twickenham Stadium in the shape of 'The Four Players' and the monumental 'Core Values' line-out sculpture that stands outside the stadium. The exhibition Core Values: The Life and Work of Gerald Laing runs throughout the QBE Internationals and 2014 RBS 6-Nations period.
On public display for the first time, was a selection of Gerlad's conceptual drawings and the actual resin moulds used to cast the five large scale player heads from the Core Values sculpture, which visitors were invited to touch and feel.

Micah Shrewsberry said Tatum is "an ultra-competitive guy."
That’s what Celtics assistant coach Micah Shrewsberry tells rookie Jayson Tatum.
Tatum, whose first season in the NBA has been downright impressive, is averaging 18.1 points per game this postseason. He’s tallied 253 total points through 14 playoff games, which slots him fourth on the all-time playoff scoring list for players 20 years old or younger. Only Kobe Bryant (328), Tony Parker (325), and Magic Johnson (293) logged more postseason points when they were Tatum’s age.
Tatum, as Paul Pierce said, is “a superstar in the making.” While fans and analysts ooh and aah at his potential, the Celtics are keeping things fluid when projecting what type of player their budding All-Star could be within the next five seasons.
Shrewsberry — who previously worked as an assistant with Brad Stevens at Butler before coming to the Celtics in 2013 — noted there are small parts of Tatum’s game he’s going to want to improve. Tatum has been spending more time with the team’s strength and conditioning staff to gain more weight, which will help him play through the physicality. But even with things as they stand now, Shrewsberry is impressed.

It’s not much compared to the big adventures of summer. We went out for a few hours to tack winter posters on bulletin boards, set a couple of signposts, check signs on ski trails. It’s not much at all, but it got us out of the office. The office–that soul-sucking, stultifying, festering pit of frustration and lethargy. Tasks that should be simple and straightforward are not. Things that should be fixable in a couple of keystrokes are not. Processes that should run smoothly, information that should be easy to find–none of it does or is. Too many shoulds, but do nots.
Thank goodness for the woods! They are darker and damper, beginning to get snowy. They are real. A big windstorm two nights ago scattered pine needles and scraps of limbs all over the place. New trees are down, such as this spruce we found across the road. What a sense of accomplishment in cutting it and moving it out of the way!
At least one thing got done today.

A Communicator is a local C# object that represents an instance of the Ice run time. Most Ice-based applications create and use a single Communicator object, although it is possible and occasionally desirable to have multiple Communicator objects in the same application.
Ice.Util.initialize accepts the argument vector that is passed to Main by the operating system. The method scans the argument vector for any command-line options that are relevant to the Ice run time; any such options are removed from the argument vector so, when Ice.Util.initialize returns, the only options and arguments remaining are those that concern your application. If anything goes wrong during initialization, initialize throws an exception.
Before leaving your Main method, you must call Communicator.destroy. The destroy operation is responsible for finalizing the Ice run time. In particular, in an Ice server, destroy waits for any operation implementations that are still executing to complete. In addition, destroy ensures that any outstanding threads are joined with and reclaims a number of operating system resources, such as file descriptors and memory. Never allow your Main method to terminate without calling destroy first.
Fortunately, the Ice.Communicator interface implements IDisposable: this allows us to call initialize in a using statement, which disposes of (destroys) the communicator automatically, without an explicit call to the destroy method.

Stopping corrosion beings with selecting an appropriate protection material. On many marine type structures, this material is Zinc. Corrpro offers a cast 3” diameter by 22” length or 3” diameter by 30” length anode for use on structures in brackish and salt water environments. The anodes are cast using 99.99% pure high-grade Zinc and the ASTM-B-418 Type I chemical composition standard. Through the addition of nominal percentages of Aluminum and Cadmium, Corrpro Zinc anodes are resistant to the formation of Zinc oxide around the anode surface, which restricts current flow and can shorten anode life. Their unique composition also allows for a current capacity of 354 amp-hr/lb, and an open circuit voltage of -1.10V CSE.
Corrpro cast Zinc anodes are designed for use on ships, vessels, piers, pilings and other metal structure in, or containing, brackish and salt water environments. The anode may be connected directly to the structure using the 5/8” N.F. threaded rod connection in the anode or with the use of an Internal Vessel Anode Adaptor. The use of these anodes should be avoided in areas where temperatures may exceed 60°C (140°F). This is because Zinc is prone to polarity reversal under these conditions.
Corrpro offers the cast Zinc anodes to address a multitude of applications. To order the required anode for your structure, indicate that you need a cast Zinc anode, which length you may require, and the quantity desired.
