The PGA of America board of directors voted today to remove Ted Bishop, the 38th PGA president, from office for insensitive gender-based statements posted yesterday on social media. The board deemed the remarks to be inconsistent with the policies of the PGA.
Under the bylaws of the PGA constitution, vice president Derek Sprague has been appointed the Association’s interim president until Nov. 22, when the election of new national officers takes place at the 98th PGA annual meeting. PGA Secretary Paul Levy will assume the dual responsibilities of Vice President and Secretary until the election.
A bit of a stodgy statement, but then again the PGA is a bit of a stodgy organization. Actions speak louder than words, and the PGA’s actions showed that immature, sexist statements coming from their top officers are simply unacceptable.

THIS IS CALLED LCHF DIET.
If you adopt LCHF Diet, you will be perfectly alright. Reduce your intake of carbs.
Saw the question of eugine at healthunlocked.com/diabetes... ?
A simple solution before adopting any other suggestion try to reduce your food intake every time and check your B/S level you will be astonished.
as suggested by many above reduce quantity of food , specially Carbohydrates.
Even a 1 Re tab of DAONIL will give u equal results as a 40 Re tab of ONGLIZA.. Chek with ur Doc.
Must reduce carbs and walk minimum 1 hour a day.
Thank you. Will check with doc and try to limit minimum carbs per day. Actually I am spending almost 3000/- per month on these costly medicines. Actually even Doctors also do not prescribe low cost medicines.
Some useful tips.... must take cinnamon, curry leaves, replace chapati with salads.
MELMET SR 1000mg must be Metformin. There are more than 500 brands..chek economical one..
ARBITAL may be Telmesartan 40 mg ..if correct there are many economical brands.
U can reduce your medicine budget upto half.
You need to have a retrospection of your condition within yourself and come to a conclusion as to what is manageable and what requires medicine. Present day tendency is to prescribe a medicine for every condition you state. If possible visit a Sr.Physician of old school. Without feeling bad about it you can be frank with the doctor and tell him what you can afford. For every expensive medicine there is an equivalent less costly medicine. Doctors know and will prescribe if you ask. There is another aspect to this. If you go to a specialist and if he prescribes a cheap medicine you may feel not satisfied and may think the dr. is no good so they tend to prescribe costly ones. But if you are frank with him you will get the best at the right price.
I have been managing type 2 for last 13 years and mostly with expense on medicine less than Rs.100/- a month. So have a talk with your doctor with your latest hba1c report.
Your random sugar level is not alarming. Your high fbs may have reason or bearing on what you have for dinner. Check this out. What is PPS level?
One of the best suggestion of this forum is to go for LCHF diet. Go for it, it is easily followable and has immediate effect and not expensive. You may need to progressively reduce your medicine to suit the reducing sugar levels. I have been following this for 6 months now and my HbA1C has come to 4.9 from 6.3 in six months. While I would not wish to generalise based on my experience you can take the best out of it. My medicines have also now come down to 25% of earlier.
To get a good grip on what happens with change in diet and medicine on sugar levels I have been frequently checking sugar levels at home and formed my conclusion on the medicines. No doctor can understand how your body behaves to medicines and food on a daily basis better than you. Once sure you follow a set regimen. Discuss with your doctor at least once in 3 months. Good luck.

Do it for 15 minutes in the morning and evening/night before meals.
I got diabetic at a early age of 25 and since then I am having bunch of medicines to reduce the levels.
But when I read the affects of Yoga mudras, I started doing 30 mintues of Pran mudra and also 30 minutes of Apana Mudra while I walk for 1 hour. I do 5 rounds of surya namaskar and 20 turns of cobra pose. Happy to say that my levels are very much low after a single week compared to earlier times.
There is nothing to lose in trying. I would suggest you to give a try on these two mudras and see the results.

The #TenDollarTribe is a group of people who commit to giving $10 a month to our communities around the world. As the Tribes grow, their impact will exponentially increase from providing hot meals and educational opportunities to constructing community buildings and facilities. Your generosity will serve as a foundational element of support for the communities we serve. Through this, our hope is to alleviate the pressures of extreme poverty and keep families together.
Within our communities, your $10 will be used to impact lives on a daily basis. For example, $10 will buy 100 bowls of porridge for school children. Or, it might instead provide 7 cooked meals, or a month’s worth of school supplies, or two weeks of cooking fuel for a local family.
As always, this work is being accomplished through amazing local leaders; in this case, that means Pastor St Cyr and his son Junior! We truly believe that a large #TenDollarTribe will bring immediate and lasting change to the Aclaprotech Academy and the Delmas community, and that will seep out into the entire country of Haiti.

text: Mozarabians (MUZABABIANS, MOSTARABIANS, or MUSTARABIANS), which properly designates a people living among the Arabs, but not of' the same blood, and by the latter therefore looked upon with distrust, and even with contempt, was applied as a sort of nickname to those Christians of Spain who, under Mohammedan rule, remained faithful to their holy religion. The word is derived from Arabic Estarab, i.e., to Arabize, and as a participle (Mostarab) signifies one who has adopted the Arab mode of life. The Christians of Africa and Spain, as well as the Jews, deserved to be called Mozarabians, for they all, from fear of persecution, adopted the ways and customs of their conquerors, and in outward appearances gave themselves the air of conformity with Mohammedan life and practice. They abstained from meat, and submitted to the rite of circumcision. The modern form has lost the t (Mostarab), but has substituted z for s, thus preserving the sound, notwithstanding the change of orthography (see Ticknor, Span. Lit. 3:393).

They said it always rains up there and how are you going to survive without shops. I said better than you survive without fresh air.
And now the shops come to my door and the rain falls clean and fresh and the air's like champagne.
They said you'll be so isolated. I said yes, it'll be great, won't it?
I phoned and said come and see me.
But you're so far from anywhere, they said. It'll take days and we've got shopping to do.

How far's that? they said.
Eighty miles?? You're mad they said. I couldn't live like that. So uncivilised. It took forty minutes to drive to work yesterday, can you believe it? Forty minutes to go ten miles. Those roadworks. You can just taste the traffic fumes they said.

No, they'd suffocate I said.

They said what do you find to do up there? I said we walk and we fish, we sail and play golf, there are bars to drink in, clubs to join, people to talk to, places to see.
But what about the children. How do you keep them occupied? they said.
They walk and they fish, they sail and play golf... They play football and rugby, badminton, swimming, they go to the youth club - shall I go on?
They've closed our youth club down they said. Anyway you don't like to let the kids out of your sight they said.
So are you coming down here? they said.

There are countless firm all over the world that design and produce processors and other silicon that go into our smartphones, but one that has become particularly successful over the last few years is MediaTek. The Taiwanese firm has become known for their affordable processors that offer a lot of bang for their buck, and have arguably been the driving force behind the better lower-end devices that have appeared over the last few years. MediaTek has become well known in the industry, and while their processors might not be as sought after as those from Samsung or Qualcomm, they've become solid choices for a range of devices. Most of the chips that MediaTek ship end up in devices sold in emerging markets, such as India, and now MediaTek is looking to expand their workforce throughout India.
According to a report from Reuters, the Taiwanese firm is to triple the amount of workers that the firm has in India over the next three years. MediaTek is looking to triple the current number of 500 employees to 1,500 employees over the next three years, with the company's chairman, M.K. Tsai, saying that "MediaTek is committed to Make in India". Make in India is an initiative that the Indian government has been working on in order to bring more manufacturing into the country, and big names such as Xiaomi, Sony and Motorola have signed up to produce devices inside of India. For MediaTek, the new jobs will focus on Research and Development, as well as customer relations, as the firm looks to bolster their image in what is becoming an increasingly important market for all mobile names across the globe.
MediaTek is now estimated to control over 70 percent of the Indian market, and with big investments of $60 Million in PayTM's owner, One97 Communications, the firm is well on its way to becoming a big force in India. Global names such as Samsung and Sony have experienced success in the Indian market as well, and with it becoming harder ad harder to compete in the West, India is likely to become a key market for everyone over the next couple of years.

"EXXON MOBIL is the world's most valuable listed company, with a market capitalisation of $412 billion. But if you compare oil companies by how much they have left in the ground, the American giant ranks a lowly fourteenth. All 13 of the oil firms that outshadow it are national oil companies (NOCs): partially or wholly state-owned firms through which governments retain the profits from oil production. Because these national champions control as much as 90% of the world's oil and gas, they can do far more than the likes of Exxon to assuage the current worries about supply and to influence the accompanying record prices. But like most state-owned firms, they are prone to over-staffing, underinvestment, political interference and corruption.
Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA), one of the biggest (see chart on the next page), provides a cautionary tale of how bad they can be. Venezuela has exported oil since the 16th century, when the mother of the Hapsburg emperor, Charles V, had some shipped to Spain to treat his crippling gout. Big multinationals, such as Royal Dutch Shell, set up shop in Venezuela almost a century ago. By the 1930s the country was the world's second-biggest oil producer. Today it remains one of the main sources of American oil imports. There is also huge potential to expand production: if you include its near-endless supply of treacly "ultra-heavy" oil, Venezuela has the world's biggest reserves.
Like many developing countries, Venezuela nationalised its oil industry in the 1970s. But its politicians were mindful of the extravagant mess that Pemex, Latin America 's biggest NOC at the time, had made of Mexico's oilfields since the 1930s. So the Venezuelans devised a structure to minimise the disruption. Former foreign concessions became free-standing divisions of PDVSA, with many of their existing managers left in place.
From these sensible beginnings, PDVSA developed a reputation for professionalism and competence, matched by few other NOCs. The company was thought to be relatively free from the corruption and cronyism that had spread through Venezuela, fuelled by oil wealth. It was certainly efficient, producing as much oil as Pemex did with a third of the staff.
In the 1990s the Venezuelan oil company embarked on a scheme to raise output to 6.5m barrels per day (b/d). This would be done by increasing its own production and farming out marginal fields to foreign firms. The idea, says Luis Giusti, who ran PDVSA from 1994 to 1999, was to make use of multinationals' technology and capital without surrendering the most lucrative opportunities to them.
By 1998 some 36 foreign firms had set up shop and were rapidly expanding their output. PDVSA, meanwhile, had already reached 2.9m b/d and was seeking the government's blessing to invest more to increase its production capacity. But royalties were falling along with the oil price. With an election looming, the government slashed the company's investment budget instead. Output promptly started to fall and has never recovered.
Partly because of geology and partly because of their age, Venezuela 's fields require a lot of maintenance. The oil they produce is more viscous and acidic than the norm, and so harder to handle. Less than a tenth of the fields simply spout oil thanks to the natural pressure of the reservoir. Keeping the remainder flowing requires constant injections of water or gas. Even so, their output declines at roughly twice the pace of oilfields in the North Sea. Venezuela has to add 400,000 b/d of new annual production capacity just to keep output stable, according to Mazhar al-Shereidah, an academic.
That is even more expensive than it sounds, because each well produces only a small amount: perhaps 180 b/d, compared with as much as 7,000 b/d from some Persian Gulf wells. It takes Venezuela ten times more wells than Saudi Arabia to produce a third of the oil. No wonder that at the height of its expansion in 1997, PDVSA was investing $5.4 billion, according to Wood Mackenzie, a consultancy.
But when President Hugo Chávez came to power in 1999, he started squeezing even more money out of the firm. By 2000 investment had fallen to $2.5 billion. Mr Chávez accused PDVSA of hiding its profits from the government through deceptive accounting. He also questioned the firm's expansion plans and overseas acquisitions. Above all, he decried its relative autonomy and appointed a number of hostile bosses to impose his authority.
PDVSA's management, naturally, resented this. They joined a general strike in December 2002, along with half of the firm's 40,000 employees. Most of the skilled staff, including engineers and technicians, stopped work for two months. Since—like patients in intensive care—many of PDVSA's wells require constant monitoring and treatment, says Mr al-Shereidah, the strike killed lots of them. Analysts estimated that Venezuela lost as much as 400,000 b/d of production capacity for ever, not to mention billions of dollars in revenue.
But the worst was still to come. Mr Chávez denounced the strikers as saboteurs and sacked them all. The toll was highest among skilled workers: two-thirds of managers and technical staff went. At a stroke, PDVSA lost almost all of its most experienced and best-qualified employees, with an irreplaceable understanding of the idiosyncrasies of its wells and fields.
Critics say that the government restaffed the firm with incompetent cronies and placemen. Contractors whisper that it is having trouble spending even its reduced investment budget. Bids take months longer than necessary to complete, one contractor complains, because the procurement staff cannot get their technical specifications straight. Others point to an increase in fatal accidents and fires at PDVSA's refineries as proof that its workers are no longer up to snuff.
Staffing has certainly become more political. Mr Chávez's cousin, Asdrubal, runs the firm's shipping arm. The president's brother, Adan, helps to co-ordinate the company's subsidised oil sales around the Caribbean as ambassador to Cuba . Those who signed a petition advocating a recall election for Mr Chávez complain that they cannot get jobs at PDVSA or its contractors.
Politics has begun to intrude into the firm's strategy, too. Mr Chávez wants PDVSA to do less business in the United States and more in Latin America. In the name of regional integration, he is pushing for an expensive natural-gas pipeline from Venezuela to Brazil , which would "bring gas that does not exist to markets that do not exist", in Mr Giusti's view. In theory, the hugoducto, as the pipeline is sarcastically known, will be a money-making venture, but Mr Chávez has also dragooned the company into all manner of charitable works. He insists that the firm spend a tenth of its investment budget on social programmes, and has pledged its help, in the form both of cheap oil and technological assistance, to allies from Argentina to the Bahamas.
Clearly, Venezuela's oil company no longer operates at arm's length from the government. Its head, Rafael Ramírez, is also the Minister of Energy and Oil. "The president tells PDVSA to commit suicide, and he says, 'Yes sir!'" gripes Elie Habalian, a former Venezuelan representative at OPEC, with a mock salute.
The company is also becoming more secretive. It has de-registered its refining subsidiary, Citgo, at America's Securities and Exchange Commission, and so no longer files any public reports to the organisation. In Venezuela, the Ministry of Energy and Oil has only just released the 2003 edition of its annual statistical compendium on the company's performance. Its finances are certainly getting murkier: it now transfers much of its earnings directly to a development fund controlled by Mr Chávez, rather than sending them all to the central bank as it used to.
These failings have not stopped Mr Chávez from forcing most foreign oil firms in Venezuela to go into partnership with its national champion. It is now running the resulting joint ventures—presumably no better than it runs its original fields. Other countries go further: Saudi Aramco, for one, has a monopoly on oil production in Saudi Arabia. PFCEnergy, a consultancy, calculates that 77% of the world's oil and gas is found in countries whose production is controlled by state-owned oil firms and their partners."
"Happily, not all NOCs are as badly run as PDVSA. But their problems are similar, if not as severe. Many suffer from government meddling of one sort or another. Legal requirements to hire a certain number of locals have left the state firms of several Persian Gulf emirates hopelessly over-staffed. Russia uses its NOCs, Gazprom and Rosneft, as instruments of foreign policy. The governments of China and India, among others, oblige their state firms to sell petrol below the international price at the pump, even though they have to buy much of it on the open market. Bolivia, meanwhile, cannot decide whether it wants an NOC at all. It has opened its oil industry to foreign investment and then nationalised it no fewer than three times."
The article is a must-read. It makes many of the same points Terry Karl made in The Paradox of Plenty, her legendary book on the many ills of petro-states. It is also a point reaffirmed by Quico in his post on Petrostates. Still, it is nice to see these important issues being raised yet again by a regarded publication such as The Economist that appeals to such a wide audience.
Let's wait and see how the chavista propaganda machine try spin its way out of this mauling.

When the time is right and your hearts are ready, a baby is a blessing. That doesn't mean that it's the wrong choice to plan ahead financially for that day of arrival. If a baby is in your future thoughts, save some money now.
Babies are more expensive than most think. The average middle class couple devotes $13,000 to their first year as parents. To cover extra costs, needs, and days away from work, stock a cushion of $5,000 in your bank account.
Besides a bank account to back your new family, have a good healthcare plan. One round of shots at a pediatrician can be $300, and infants require several rounds of shots. Thanks to health insurance, these visits could only cost you the co-payment. If you don't have healthcare, search for a reputable local clinic for your child's checkups.
Also remember, most insurance programs only allow changes and additions during the first few weeks after the birth, so contact them before the birth to understand their policies. You can't afford to miss this deadline.
The decision for both parents to return to work after the birth of the baby is important. Professional childcare costs at least $150 a week for full time infant daycare. Could you afford another car payment each month? If not, childcare is out of the question. For some, it may be more reasonable to stop working until the child is older.
Infant daycare costs more because of the high level of care. As the child becomes a toddler, the cost of daycare decreases. Eventually, this costs lessens even more when school begins and before and/or after school care is all that is required.
Get used to it now. By adapting your lifestyle before the baby arrives, you'll be less shocked when your bundle of joy taps into your bank account. Try to get used to living on less luxury. Eat out less and learn how to make some quick meals at home. It will come in handy when you're a new parent. Your child has basic needs that must be met. It will be you who will be the one to go without a morning breakfast stop and lunch with coworkers.
Consider your leave time. Women who take maternity leave usually may use their accumulated sick or vacation days to get paid for their leave. This is important because if a baby looms in your future you may want to conserve your sick days now. On days that beg for you to 'play hooky", drag yourself to the office and save the day for a future parental leave. If work allows, the mother may take maternity leave and the father may take paternity leave once her maternity ends. This allows for more time to keep baby home and out of daycare.
The largest daily costs of babies are the diapers and formula costs. There's a lot more involved than just those two items, but those are the ones that add up the quickest. The baby budget should include roughly $100 a month for diapers during infancy. For the bottle feeding parent, get ready for the weekly grocery bill to soar. Besides the needed bottles and accessories, canned formula adds $40 to the grocery bill each week.
Sewing: When I had my fist 2 kids I was dirt poor. Where I saved the most money was knowing basic, beginning sewing. I bought an old sewing machine at a thrift store for $20 & went to town sewing 100% cotton flannel receiving blankets & little cotton gowns with a drawstring at the bottom. This way I saved money & had the highest quality at the same time! We had no Walmart's here then, but these days you can buy the flannel for $2 a yard or less at Walmart & get the pattern for the whole layette on sale for 99 cents to $3. You can also make simple curtains for the baby's room too!
*You can buy a brand new Brother sewing machine for only $49 at Walmart. It's marketed for kids & teens, but it sews beautifully!
* I can't emphasize how easy it is to sew a square flannel blanket. All you do is by 48 inches of fabric in each of 2 colors. First wash & machine dry your fabric, that way you're removing all the chemicals & you'll know it won't shrink later on when it's washed! Then rip (or cut) the edge off so it's straight on both ends. (you'll end up with about a 46" x 46" blanket) Stack one piece on top of the other with right sided together. Now sew around the edges about half an inch from the sides. Stop about 6 inches before you get to where you first began stitching. This hole is where you'll turn the blankest right side out. Do that now, then the blanket smooth flat & iron the edges. Now stitch around the edges about an inch from the edge & *PRESTO* you have a wonderful, square, double-sided receiving blanket!
Diapers: You can even make your own cotton diapers that will last & last. Make them like the blanket (above) only smaller. I know it sounds like a hassle to not use disposable diapers, but if you have a washer, you'll save TON's of money not buying & re-buying disposable's. Even if you DO plan to use disposable diapers, it pays to have a pair of plastic pants & dozen reusable diapers in the closet for those times when you run out in the middle of the night & don't want to have to run to the store!
Breast Feeding: Another place to save TON's of money is not buying formula! Breast feeding isn't just the healthiest way to go, it's also, by far, the cheapest way to go! Check out the price of formula in the stores, if you don't believe me!
Crochet and Knit: If you crochet or knit, even if you are a beginner you can crochet a square or rectangle! Spend all your spare time (like crocheting when someone else is driving) & the time you spend in front of the TV crocheting (or knitting) baby blankets. Be sure to use an easy-wash yarn. My favorite yarn is Bernat shiny baby yarn. (Walmart has the best prices, but Joann's has more colors to choose from) But because it's a little bumpy it's not the best for beginners. It come in 2 colors (for stripes) or in solids. I like white for a fresh look that works for boys AND girls & Instead of yellow, I prefer mint green for something different.
All pediatric vaccinations (with the exception of the HPV vaccine in some states) are offered for free in every state. Most pediatricians will refer parents to those Well Baby clinics rather than giving the shots in the office.

I don’t have a formula for writing. What I have is something I learned from my professor in Creative writing. It goes like this: the very essence of writing is in your desire to tell someone something.
So go ahead. Say it! Say it to me, explain it, don’t think about writing, think about transfering what your mind built as associations and meaning architectures so that they can further connect with other “buildings”and the ecosystem of ideas (the noosphere) keeps buzzing.
And never aim for perfect, aim for clarity and for intent. It’s not easy. It just IS. It is consciousness unfolding through words and visuals.
If it feels overwhelming, I use mind maps. And then I stop thinking and start listening to where my feeling wants me to go. I don’t hurry.
It is like listening to music, you don’t hurry to listen to the music.

NEW DELHI India’s wholesale price inflation rate picked up in July after easing for four straight months, with food prices back on the rise. The wholesale price index rose 1.88% in July from a year earlier, compared with an increase of 0.63% in July 2016, government data showed on Monday.
The rise compares with a 1.3% increase forecast by economists in a Reuters poll and a provisional 0.9% rise in June - the slowest pace since July 2016.
Wholesale food prices in July rose 2.15% on year, compared with a 3.47% fall a month earlier.
Vegetable prices, which had witnessed a 21.16% contraction in June, shot up by 21.95% in July. However, manufactured products saw a slight fall in inflation at 2.18% in July, compared to 2.27% in June.
In fuel and power segment, inflation witnessed a decline at 4.37% in July, over 5.28% in the previous month.
Apart from vegetables, the food articles which saw rise in prices include egg, meat and fish where inflation stood at 3.30%. Fruits saw inflation at 2.71%, cereals (0.63%) and paddy (3.47%).
However, potato continued to see deflation at 42.45%, pulses (-)32.56% and onion (-)9.50%.
The final print of May WPI inflation witnessed a marginal surge at 2.26%, compared to provisional estimates of 2.17%.
The goods and services tax (GST), implemented on July 1, combined a welter of central and state levies into a four-tier tax structure of 5, 12, 18 and 28% for all goods and services.
Data released last week showed that industrial output hit a four-year low and contracted 0.1% in June, mainly due to a decline in manufacturing and capital goods sectors.
Easing price pressures gave the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) room to cut its main policy rate by 25 basis points to 6% earlier this month, the lowest since November 2010. It was the first rate cut by an Asian central bank this year. But the RBI retained its “neutral stance” and warned inflation could pick up again.

In this unit, students will be introduced to fundamental digital video and audio skills and knowledge. By engaging with activities that integrate practical skills and conceptual understanding, students will be able to produce digital audio and video content for a range of contexts appropriate to the digital content industries.
Term 1 - 2018 : The overall satisfaction for students in the last offering of this course was 4.1 (on a 5 point Likert scale), based on a 29.31% response rate.
The video and audio production equipment that is available for class demonstrations and student loans is inadequate on most campuses.
Campuses where equipment resources are lacking need to be reviewed and upgraded so a consistent approach can be delivered across all campuses.
Funding was made available and equipment at the campuses where this unit is offered were upgraded to ensure at least two sets of equipment were available for student loans. Plans for upgrades to facilities to match Brisbane campus have been made but no construction has begun.
On-campus students cannot access appropriate equipment to complete their assessments.
A uniform method of equipment loans and asset management needs to be implemented across all campuses.
An online equipment loans system was trialed at the Brisbane, Sydney and Rockhampton Campuses which was successful. Specific staff members at all campuses where this unit is offered were allocated sole responsibility for equipment loans which included paying a casual staff member in Sydney to fulfill this role because there are no permanent BDM staff members at this campus. However investment is required to make this online system standard across all the campuses where this unit is offered.
More practical exercises on the use of equipment specific to each campus to be added to the tutorial exercises. More exercises using studio equipment to be added when construction of studios at campuses is complete.
More practical use of Adobe Premiere in-class.
More practical exercises on the use of Adobe Premiere to be added to tutorial exercises.

The term millipede was derived from the Latin word. Mil means thousand, while ped means feet. We can assume that millipede is an animal with thousand feet. However, the animal does not have 1,000 legs.
The record of a millipede which has the most legs is only 750 legs. In average, millipede only has 100 legs.
In each body segment of millipede, you can find two pairs of legs. This condition differentiates millipedes from centipedes. Centipede only owns a pair of leg on its body segment.
When a millipede coils the body into a spiral form, it means that the animal feels threatened. The underside part of the millipede’s body is very vulnerable and soft. On the other hand, the back is very hard because if it is covered with tergites or hardened plates. When the millipede coils the body, it can protect the underside part and belly.
Do you know that millipedes only have three parts of legs when they hatch? When the young millipedes reach the maturity, the animals will have more and more legs.
When Millipedes are molting, they decide to live inside an underground chamber to avoid any predators. During the molting time, millipedes are very vulnerable so they need a safe and hidden place.
You can find out millipedes living in moist, humid and cool environment. They live underneath a tree bark, under the logs, rocks, soil and leaf litter. They prefer the hidden, dark and cool place to stay.
Most species of millipedes like to eat the decaying plant as their favorite food. The plant matter will be moistened when the body of millipede secretes a chemical. The jaw that millipede has will be used to scrap the food.
If there is no decaying plant matter on the surrounding, millipedes will look on seedling to stay survive. Sometimes, millipedes also eat other animals. There are some species of millipedes which are carnivorous.
There are several predators that eat millipedes such as birds, badgers and shrews. Millipedes will produce poison to irritate the predator. Find out bird facts here.
Most poisons produced by millipedes are not deadly to human being. But you have to be careful. It can make the skin and eyes irritated. Do you want to share opinion on facts about millipede?

The Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum in Poland has not taken that approach. On the contrary, 70 years after the burning ovens ceased their deadly work at Birkenau, where at least 960,000 Jews were murdered, the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation announced it has raised 109 million of the 120-million Euros it needs to ensure the site is preserved in perpetuity.
The task of preserving such a site is a daunting one, as the museum has one of the largest footprints, with the most buildings, in the worst weather conditions of any museum, anywhere. As a UNESCO heritage site, it has been recognized as a place of global significance, but the rotting timbers and crumbling bricks have no idea about that, they are turning to the dust from whence they came.
Museum Director Piotr Cywinski is a thoughtful figure who is determined that Auschwitz exists for future generations.
“If one place addresses the conscience of humanity in the 21st century, it is Auschwitz-Birkenau,” he says.
Since taking on the role as director, Cywinski has insisted that not only is preserving the authentic site a vital part of ensuring the Holocaust is not forgotten, but that the physical evidence is a part of preventing future genocides.
There is, of course, nothing to say that memory itself will compel anyone to act ethically in the present, let alone the world leaders who are gathering on Jan. 27 to remember the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
Being there to remember could be a way to avoid action, because they can say the right words, leave and do nothing. But being at the very place where over a million lives were wasted on the alter of inhumanity makes moral demands on those who stand there. The place itself is indisputable proof that genocide is possible and therefore must be prevented. That's where the place and our conscience come together.
I have been listening to testimonies in the Visual History Archive of the USC Shoah Foundation in the run-up to this commemoration and have heard from among the 8,842 witnesses to Auschwitz-Birkenau a constant theme – how unexpected the finality and ferocity of Auschwitz was. It was not that they had not felt the full force of the Nazis for a very long time; it was just that Birkenau was truly inconceivable.
When an academic colleague of mine, who has read about Auschwitz and seen many documentaries, returned from a visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, told me that his life would be divided into “before and after visiting Auschwitz,” I understood in a new way the power of place. It is not a representation of the Holocaust, but a physical fact. And the fact that it ever existed is what gives pause, because Birkenau, which was at the heart of the genocide of the Jews, exemplifies the possibility inherent all acts of genocide.
When Henry Appel said, “There is only one thing worse than Auschwitz itself ... and that is if the world forgets there was such a place,” he makes the case for its preservation, because when it is there before our eyes, there is no forgetting.

I know you are thinking…..wonder what his opinion will be since he runs Lawn Care Marketing Mechanic. Well you are right, my opinion is you should hire a lawn care marketing specialist like Lawn Care Marketing Mechanic. I know big shock but let me explain why. Years ago my opinion was different, I would have said you want someone local, someone that was easy to get in touch with and you could sit down and have a discussion with them and see examples of what they were talking about. However now with the technology we have available to us, you can virtually do the same thing with online video conferencing, screen sharing heck you can do it on your phone. And let’s be honest if you are running a lawn care business the more time you can save the better. So video conferencing is much more convenient for you and the other person you are working with. But the real advantage to working with a lawn care marketing specialist has little to do with how you communicate with your digital marketing provider, but it has a lot to do with time. You see by working with someone that understands your business and only works with companies very similar to yours it eliminates the need for your marketing partner to learn your business. That is where working with a company like Lawn Care Marketing Mechanic is a huge benefit for you as a lawn care business owner. We understand your business, how you get clients, where you need to get clients to be profitable, and where you struggle when it comes to growing your business and getting more clients. We also offer exclusive service in your market area, so we won’t work with your competitors. If you are hiring Lawn Care Marketing Mechanic to get you more clients and dominate your market, I couldn’t ethically take on another client in your market offering to do the same thing. Not to mention possible brand and trade secrets like pricing, and strategy. Most local SEO agencies won’t give you that type of exclusive area.
If you are a lawn or landscape company and are interested in learning more about the services we offer you can visit our website at lawncaremarketingmechanic.com or give us a call 479-276-4357.
We don't have sales people. Fill out the form to talk with a lawn and landscape marketer.

Packard was a United States based brand of luxury automobile built by the Packard Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan, and later by the Studebaker-Packard Corporation of South Bend, Indiana. The first Packard automobiles were produced in 1899 and the brand went off the market in 1958. Packard automobiles are highly sought after by collectors today, and the marque enjoys an active collectors club system.
Packards were advertised with the slogan "Ask the Man Who Owns One".
Packard was founded by brothers James Ward Packard (Lehigh University Class of 1884), William Doud Packard and his partner George Lewis Weiss in the city of Warren, Ohio. James Ward believed that they could build a better horseless carriage than the Winton cars owned by Weiss (An important Winton stockholder) and James Ward, himself a mechanical engineer, had some ideas how to improve on the designs of current automobiles. By 1899, they were building vehicles. The company, which they called the Ohio Automobile Company, quickly introduced a number of innovations in its designs, including the modern steering wheel and years later the first production 12-cylinder engine.
While Henry Ford was producing cars that sold for $440, the Packards concentrated on more upscale cars that started at $2,600. Packard automobiles developed a following not only in the United States, but also abroad, with many heads of state owning them.

From concerns over data privacy to lack of transparency surrounding paid content, Facebook has come under fire globally regarding a number of accusations.
But could blockchain restore trust and accountability in the social media giant?
Prominent blockchain developer Sunny King certainly thinks so.
A new online talent booking platform is using blockchain to make it easier for event organisers to connect with celebrity talent representatives.
A Norwegian company says unlike Google or Microsoft, it can offer decentralised storage and processing, claiming its safer, more reliable and guarantees privacy.

The site of my intervals workout Thursday.
Back into running this week! It felt so good, but by the end of the week, I was exhausted.
Monday: 3 miles, 26 minutes; 3 miles walked. CrossFit after work: Warm-up: :30 air squats, :30 plank, repeat 3 times. Workout: 25 dips, 50 rows (TRX), 75 lunges, 100 sit-ups.
Tuesday: 6 miles, easy. Average 9:30 pace (on the mill, so slower). CrossFit after work: 20 mn: 5 deadlifts (35 pounds), 12 kettle-bell swings (15 pounds), 8 push presses (2o pounds).
Wednesday: 6.5 miles, 8:04 pace. Rained at the end of this run and it felt so good! I finally feel like I’m getting back to myself. CrossFit rest day.
Thursday: 5.5 miles total, 7x:75 at 6:20 pace, :75 recovery. These were a little slower than I would have liked, but considering they are my first high-intensity work in over two weeks, I’m pretty happy with them. My legs feel heavy though, probably from the four straight days of CrossFit I did before my rest day yesterday. DOMS for days.
Friday: Non-running, active recovery day. 45 mn on the spin bike doing 3:00 max, 2:00 recovery for 6 repeats (my second CrossFit Endurance workout). Cool-down: 10 mn rowing. I’m pretty exhausted today. But watching CrossFit Regionals motivated me to get my CF in for the day. 10 mn: 10×1 armed kettle-bell swings (15 pounds), 10 pull-ups (modified), 10 dips). Strength: 35 pound dips, kettle-bell swings, obliques).
Saturday: 17 miles, 9:04 average pace. Despite only making it 17 of the 18 miles planned, I am very happy with this run. It was my first long run since the great head injury, and I made the poor choice to do an epic CrossFit workout Friday afternoon. All of those things considered, this was a great run and a great time. Had to end early because I ran out of water, didn’t fuel enough, and frankly, was completely beat. To make myself feel better later and to shake out the legs, I went for an easy walk in the afternoon which felt really hard during, but made my legs feel almost immediately better after.
Sunday: 8 miles, 7 at goal pace: 8:04. 1 mile cooldown. These were wicked hard and it was already 80 degrees again by 8 am. I’m going to need to start running earlier in the day. Waah. But who am I kidding? I CAN RUN AGAIN. I best shut up before karma gets me again.
Totals: 46 miles, 3 key CrossFit workouts.
Reflection: I only got in 2 of the 3 CrossFit Endurance workouts in, in part because I was working back up to running at the beginning of the week when I would have normally done those runs T-Th, or M-W. I was stubborn and did my third CrossFit workout Friday, when I should have taken it off because of my long run on Saturday. No workout is so important that it’s worth risking an injury that keeps me from running. I need to be smarter and patient with myself when recovering from setbacks. Otherwise, however, I am very happy with what I was able to do this week.
Hooray that your brain is better!! Wow, this is an intense training plan, missed workout or not!
I know! And it just keeps getting harder! The nice part is that the weekly workouts, while tough, are often short. But nice, I mean, at least the pain only lasts for 30 minutes.
Badass week!!! My favorite part? “I finally feel like I’m getting back to myself.” <3333 Glad to hear it!
Thank you! And me too! Now if only you were feeling like you were there too! I think we need to have a in-real-life running meeting soon!

Custard Candy Daylily features bold creamy white trumpet-shaped flowers with buttery yellow overtones, yellow throats and a plum purple ring at the ends of the stems from early to mid summer. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its grassy leaves remain green in colour throughout the season. The fruit is not ornamentally significant.
Custard Candy Daylily is an herbaceous perennial with a shapely form and gracefully arching foliage. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other garden plants with less refined foliage.
Custard Candy Daylily will grow to be about 18 inches tall at maturity extending to 24 inches tall with the flowers, with a spread of 24 inches. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant, individual plants should be spaced approximately 18 inches apart. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 10 years.

“I’m crammed into a burrow so small that my knees are up around my ears and the boom mike keeps slamming into my head, inhaling the potent scent of toffee-apple brandy and trying to drink a talking mouse under the table. But is it really the boom mike that’s making my head pound? I know for sure that my camera man doesn’t usually have two heads. I have to face facts. The mouse is winning.
Yesterday, I thought I knew what to expect from Narnia: good solid English cooking spiced up with the odd unusual ingredient, and good solid English people spiced up with the odd faun. And centaur. And talking animal. I’d longed to visit Narnia when I was a kid, but every time the notoriously capricious entry requirements, such as the bizarre and arbitrary lifetime limit on visits, relaxed the slightest bit, it would get invaded, get conquered, get re-conquered by the original rulers, or get hit by some natural disaster. The “Hundred-Year Winter” put the kibosh on the one time my parents even considered it.

The highest courts in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand have consistently held that the Crown has the underlying title to Aboriginal title lands. The United States Supreme Court has likewise concluded that either the federal or state governments have the underlying title to Indian lands. However, the source, nature, and content of this title remain obscure. This article will examine the relevant case law and contend that, in Canada, the Crown’s underlying title is a purely proprietary interest that does not amount to a current beneficial interest and does not entail any jurisdictional authority. It is sourced in the doctrine of tenure and is not unlike the title the Crown has under the common law to lands that are held in fee simple.

The last important vote before Italy's national election took place Sunday in Sicily, where 4.6 million citizens were eligible to cast ballots for a new regional governor.
Exit polls released after polling stations closed indicated a tight race between center-right candidate Nello Musumeci and the populist 5-Star Movement's Giancarlo Cancelleri. Both parties hope a victory in Sicily will give them momentum heading into the national race early next year.
Ballots were not set to be counted until Monday morning.
A victory by Musumeci would restore the island's traditional political order after four years of a center-left administration. On the other hand, a victory by the 5-Star movement would hand the populist party control of its first region, a complicated one with lagging economic growth, high youth unemployment and an embedded Mafia culture.
The Sicily vote has turned into a proxy of sorts for national politics. All the major national party leaders, including former Premier Silvio Berlusconi for the center-right, 5-Star Movement founder Beppe Grillo and Democratic Party leader Matteo Renzi, converged on the island in recent weeks to stump for their candidates.
Musumeci, a former Catania provincial president, has been backed by Berlusconi's Forza Italia, the anti-EU Northern League and the right-wing Fratelli d'Italia, as the center-right seeks to regain control over the island it governed for most of the last two decades.
It remains unclear, however, to what extent a center-right victory in Sicily would consolidate the alliance on a national level, where Berlusconi and Northern League leader Matteo Salvini are locked in a battle for dominance.
"Although the center-right is running united, the party leaders haven't campaigned together and the key question of the leadership of the alliance remain unresolved," said political analyst Wolfango Piccoli of Teneo Intelligence consultancy.
The 5-Star Movement has made clear it won't enter a coalition with any other party, weakening its chances of running a majority government even if it is the largest vote-getter.
"That would make things even more complicated," said Giovanni Orsina of Rome's LUISS University, noting that 5-Star mayors in both Rome and Turin were facing political difficulties. "Imagine adding to that another complicated situation. I think they would be very happy not to win — to get a very good result, but to lose."
Renzi, who stepped down as Italy's premier after a constitutional referendum he staked his political future on failed last December, has been the least visible on the Sicily campaign circuit. Analysts say the risk is that the Democratic Party candidate falls behind that of the far-left.
The Democratic Party is becoming increasingly splintered and Renzi has been broadly criticized for such political missteps as his recent opposition to the confirmation of the Bank of Italy governor.
"The left is a nightmare," Orsina said. "Renzi is starting to become a tragic figure, showing how to lose everything in just a few months, from being the center of the electoral system to becoming an electoral liability."
