JOLIET, Ill. -- Three people are in jail after Will County authorities pulled over a car and found the trunk held several bricks of cocaine with a street value of more than $1 million.
In a news release, the Will County Sheriff's Department says the discovery happened Monday night after deputies pulled over a car they'd spotted swerving on a road in Green Garden Township.
The deputies asked the driver - 31-year-old Jorge Vargas Moreno of Chicago - and his two passengers to get out of the car and then found bricks of cocaine totaling 20 kilos with the help of a drug-sniffing dog.
Vargas-Moreno, 35-year-old Bulmaro Castelan-Diaz of Chicago and 22-year-old Yolanda Tavira-Berrum of LaSalle were booked into jail on charges of unlawful delivery of a controlled substance.

CSSIgniter is a premium WordPress theme club. It gives you a broad variety of beautiful themes to choose from. You can either get a single theme; or join the club and get all their themes, including any new ones added when you are a member. The themes are wide-ranging. Whatever your website is, you will find one that pleases you and makes your website look fantastic. So if you are thinking of taking your foodie blog to the next level, or finally getting started on your freelance writing website, CSSIgniter themes are an excellent investment. Let me give you a breakdown of why CSSIgniter is the missing link in your internet success story.
Blogging may not be rocket science, but sometimes it does feel that way, especially when you are a beginner. There are so many things one is expected to remember, to install, and so forth. Is it a wonder then that so many feel frustrated and don’t bother to get beautiful themes for their blog?
They don’t think they can do it. It should then come as a relief for you to learn that CSSIgniter themes are exceedingly easy to use.
Setting up stuff is not always easy, and can be a real headache if the instructions are not intuitive. Fortunately, setting up CSSIgniter themes is so easy anyone could do it. All you have to do is upload the theme, activate it, and you are done – you can start using it!
Installing the theme, uploading its demo content, and activating will take only a short time. It also helps that the themes are intuitive. You don’t have to crack your brain trying to figure out what to do next. As soon as you have activated the theme, you can start using the theme without needing any assistance.
Something else that confuses people is when functionalities in a user interface intersect, and it becomes difficult to know which part does which job. The user ends up feeling muddled, and can’t proceed with confidence.
That won’t happen with CSSIgniter themes. Their products are designed to solve one problem at a time. Everything is clear-cut. As such, you can work faster since there is no confusion, and you will be more productive.
And don’t worry – you don’t have to learn anything new for you to enjoy the easy convenience afforded by CSSIgniter themes to WordPress users. You see, all customization is done using the WordPress Customizer – which, as a WordPress user, you are already familiar with.
As a result, all the settings and options in the themes are intuitive, familiar, and easy to use. Since you are using the WordPress customizer, you can immediately view the changes you make – they appear in a live preview window right next to the options panel.
With customizing your site being so easy, you can do it often and quickly, experimenting wildly until you discover the look that speaks to you with the greatest clarity.
Today it’s a waste of time building a website if you are not going to take Search Engine Optimization into consideration. Search engines like Google and Bing have to crawl through the billions of interconnected websites and documents that make up the World Wide Web.
SEO makes it easier for the search engines to “read” what is on your site, and understand its purpose and relevance. So if you run a travel blog, and someone types into the Google or Bing search bar a travel-related keyword, you want your page to be among the top ten that the person receives.
And that’s why Search Engine Optimization is so hot today. Every website or blog that wants to remain competitive in the dynamic, disruptive arena that is the internet must ensure that their blog is optimized to cooperate with search engines.
CSSIgniter themes are SEO friendly and will help you achieve higher ranks on Yahoo, Bing, Google, and so forth. An SEO friendly theme is half the SEO battle won.
Some of the SEO considerations of the CSSIgniter themes include good coding, fast upload speed, social media integration, responsive design, schema markup, and website structure.
Thanks to the development of smartphones and other devices of varying screen shapes and sizes, staying connected wherever you are is no longer just a slogan. You don’t have to wait until you get to the office or home to get on the internet.
Unfortunately, not all web pages are friendly to these smaller devices. As a result, it can be quite a pain to try and read the website’s content while using a mobile phone.
The best websites/themes are mobile optimized. You can easily read the website’s content on your phone. As more and more people access the internet via mobile, responsive websites/themes become even more desirable.
Search engines like Google tend to give more consideration to mobile-optimized websites than those which have lower responsiveness. They understand that the best web pages are those that are easy to read on all devices. It’s also worth remembering that mobile devices cause over 50% of all internet traffic.
CSSIgniter’s themes have a responsive design that makes it easier for your site’s users to access and enjoy your content while using mobile devices.
CSSIgniter gives you three options. The first option will cost you $49, the second $59, and the third $199.
The first option has limited functionality, the second option has full functionality for a full year, and the third option has full functionality in perpetuity. Let me illustrate this nicely below.
This first theme is known as the Single Theme plan.
This one-year deal is known as the Theme Club plan.
And for $199, you get all of the above not just for one year or several, but forever!
There is no doubt this is the best deal. It is known as the Lifetime Club plan, where you get access to all CSSIgniter themes and plugins forever.
One of the greatest nightmares for anyone running a website is the fear of hacking or malware attacks. I can, therefore, understand your concern about the security of the themes you use.
The first thing to remember is that you have responsibility for the security of your account. That said, should you note any unauthorized uses of your account, do not hesitate to notify the company at info@cssigniter.com.
Once you have sent them your complaint, their support department will confirm that they are working to rectify the issue.
To ensure your themes are not vulnerable to malware, always update them as new versions come up. This will take care of any potential security holes which hackers and malicious software might exploit to gain access to your account and cause havoc.
As I have just said, updating your CSSIgniter theme is one foolproof way of reducing your website’s vulnerability to cyber attacks.
And by the way, I must remind you something. Before you start the update, it’s important to backup your theme, files, and database. In case there are custom changes you have made to your theme files, you will lose them if you don’t have a child theme. So remember to create a child theme before you update the parent theme.
Step 1: Go to www.cssigniter.com/download while you are still logged into your account. Clicking the “Download “button will get you the ZIP archive of your theme. Mac users should disable automatic archive extraction before beginning the download.
Step 1: First, switch to WordPress’s default theme (or any other theme).
Step 2: Delete the theme you want to update. Go to Theme Details, and click the “Delete” button. Any content, options, pages, images, and posts, you have will remain intact; however, all customizations in the theme files will be lost, which is why you should create a child theme.
Step 3: Go to Appearance: go to Themes on the dashboard, and click on Add New; and click on Upload Theme. Select the theme’s archive file (zip) on the Choose File button, and click Install Now.
Step 4: After successful upload, activate your new theme. If you have a child theme, reactivate the child theme.
Step 1: Download an FTP application – for instance, FileZilla. Log into your server via FTP, and go to Wp-Content, and to Themes, and then to Your Theme.
Step 2: Delete all the files within your old theme. If it’s a child theme, remove only the parent theme’s files.
Step 3: Extract the new theme file from its archive, and upload the contents of the folder by dragging and dropping into the empty folder of your old theme.
All the payment plans, even the Single Theme plan are entitled to premium support. You can contact CSSIgniter’s support team whenever you have a problem, and you are guaranteed to receive an answer to your query in at least 24 hours.
The company prides itself on quick response and a friendly/helpful support team. CSSIgniter has adopted a forum based support system. The support forum consists of subforums: each dedicated to an individual theme.
That means you can do a quick search in the forums and find an answer to your question immediately – if someone else had gone through the same problem, and got the right response.
Each CSSIgniter theme comes with detailed documentation so as to make the setup process as easy as possible, should you run into difficulties. They also avail information and tutorial articles on their blog to help you get better at using WordPress or your theme or plugin.
CSSIgniter themes are just what you need to take your WordPress blog to the next level. Join the CSSIgniter club and get one year access to all their themes. And if you like what you see, you can take a lifetime membership, and have access to all themes and plugins forever.
But if you are simply testing the waters, you can opt to take a single theme, and see how it works out.

Reason I ask is that it seems for GDPR reasons, it would be great to have someone come to a preliminary landing page, determine their country, and then send them to a GDPR compliant landing page if from Europe, and to a normal one if from anywhere else. Obviously what we are worried about is not creating a GDPR compliant landing page for Europeans (which is only 10% of our business), which is rather easy to do, but rather how extending these additional requirements will impact conversions for the rest of our business. Thus a page with some sort of a Europe/non European screen, routing to separate landing pages and then after conversion, back to a common asset delivery page. That make sense? It seems so simple that I'm surprised no on has raised it. Thanks.
(*) Disclaimer: This example LP focuses on the GDPR-compliance of the form. The page as a whole may not be GDPR-compliant because it lacks clear and unambigous language explaining why the information is being collected.
@MFrankJohnson -- you are a rock star. Thank you.
@MFrankJohnson so this scenario works off the IP addresses as they enter the website? Depending on where they are located they could see a different landing page and form?
I am trying to avoid using the GDPR compliant form for every inbound page we have. But I will need to get a developer to help me if this is an IP driven thing. Not my expertise!
Ok @DMurphy1, so 'technically' HubSpot uses IP address to identify country (when it can). However this example LP uses a Smart Form that triggers based on referring country (a smart form option). Just a little HubSpot Contextual Marketing applied to a landingpage.

A.k.a. Al Azif, described in numerous of H. P. Lovecraft's short stories, most notably the ones related to the Cthulhu mythos. It was supposedly written in Damascus in 730 AD by a mad arab, Abdul Alhazred (or reportedly more correctly Abd al-Azrad), and is an ancient tome of black magic, said to be so disturbing that merely reading it can render a grown man insane. A number of fake versions are available, some of which are quite an amusing read. It also plays a leading role in the movies Evil Dead 1 and 2, Army of Darkness and Cast a Deadly Spell.
Many authors besides Lovecraft have mentioned the book - especially contributors to the Cthulhu Mythos, e.g. Frank Belknap Long, Clark Ashton Smith, Robert Bloch, Henry Kuttner, Colin Wilson and John Ramsey Campbell.
See Lovecraft's essay History of the Necronomicon for the full history of this obscure tome.
The Necronomicon Project is an HTML collection of various texts, illustrations, and other pieces related to the (apparently) fictional tome created by H.P. Lovecraft as a reference device for his Cthulhu mythos. This beatifully-designed website does a masterful job of drawing together all of the intricate and fabulous works inspired by Lovecraft's stories.
It is also worth noting that the Necronomicon was, as per 1986, according to the preface of Jon Bings translation of The Call of Cthulu, the most requested book in libraries worldwide. Quite impressive for a book that was never written.
Not back then at least.
The Avon paperback Necronomicon is known as the Simon Necronomicon. It was originally published by a New York City occult shop called The Magickal Childe, in a deluxe leather-bound edition. It was picked up by Avon in 1980.
While no one has openly admitted that this edition is a hoax, the evidence is against it. It claims to be a Sumerian manuscript. Many of the gods and demons within are not Sumerian at all, but come from later times. The ones whose names most resemble those of Lovecraft's creatures don't turn up in any other mythology. Go to the library, or look through some Mythology nodes here, and check it out for yourself.
Also, there's a question of its origin. In this book, "Simon" is said to be a spy. This is dropped in a later supplement, The Necronomicon Spellbook. That book claims that "Simon" was a poor Eastern Orthodox bishop who received the manuscript from two fellow monks who were later jailed for stealing books from libraries. Amazingly enough, this has some small element of truth to it. There is a historical account of two monks who were jailed for library theft. However, they stole old atlases, not books. This was likely added to give a veneer of truth to the story.
Think about it this way. While it would not surprise me if the "real" Necronomicon were published in a mass-market edition (I wouldn't put anything past some publishers), you'd be bound to hear about lots of people suddenly going insane in bookstores. Currently, there is a marked lack of raving lunatics streaming out of my local Barnes & Noble, which does posess several copies of this edition. You be the judge.

“Writing is rewriting.” If your dream is to finish a book, know that it takes several drafts, all sorts of detours and a lot of perseverance. It’s a marathon, not a sprint, and the best way to ensure you keep going is to set up a Todoist project with a bunch of scheduled tasks to keep you moving along even when it feels tough.
Start with this template once you’re committed: “I’m going to finish this book”. Plan then write your first draft, and keep rewriting drafts until you’ve improved to the point that you like the whole thing.
Tip: Try not to use the postpone feature too often. Hit your dates, and get it done. Perfect is the enemy of good.

The Sacrament of First Holy Communion this year will take place on Sunday, May 6, 2018 at 1:30 pm. Please see you child's teacher for further details. If you would like more information, please contact us at [email protected].
Along with the Sacrament of Baptism, First Holy Communion is one of our three sacraments of initiation. It is through these sacraments of initiation that we become full members of the Church. We receive the Holy Eucharist for the first time during the First Holy Communion. The Holy Eucharist refers to Christ’s body, blood, soul, and divinity that are truly present in the consecrated host and wine (now called the Body and Blood of Christ) on the altar. For us as Catholics, there is nothing greater than to receive Jesus, truly present in the Eucharist at Mass.
Older people can receive communion for the first time when they have met all of the Catholic Church’s requirements. If you are an adult, 18 years or older, who is seeking more information on how to become a member of the Catholic Church, or if you are a baptized Catholic and have never received First Holy Communion, please refer to The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) for further information.

On behalf of Law Office of Rob McKinney posted in DUI on Thursday, July 20, 2017.
Operating a mechanically-powered vessel or sailboat while under the influence of alcohol is a Class A misdemeanor in Tennessee. For the most part, the rules regarding alcohol impairment that apply on the water are the same as those that apply to drivers of motor vehicles. You can be convicted of boating under the influence (BUI) if you are found to have blood alcohol content of .08 or more. The operator of a boat gives implied consent to blood alcohol testing, just as the driver of a car or truck does. The penalties upon conviction for BUI are the same as for DUI. And during certain holiday periods, officers from the Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency (TWRA) intensify their enforcement efforts, just as state and local police on land do.
On behalf of Law Office of Rob McKinney posted in Drunk Driving Charges on Friday, February 10, 2017.
You've been stopped by the police and taken to the station because they think you are over the limit. They want you to take a breath test, but taking the test could get you arrested for DUI. If you refuse to submit to testing, your driver's license will be suspended. What should you do?
On behalf of Law Office of Rob McKinney posted in Field Sobriety Tests on Sunday, October 23, 2016.
The trucking industry is highly regulated, and one way that those regulations are enforced is through the use of weigh stations situated along the highways of the country. Many people are under the impression that all they do at these stations is weigh the trucks. However, the officers who staff these stations are also checking to ensure that the trucks are in good working order and that the drivers are unimpaired. For example, a trucker was recently arrested for being impaired after the administration of field sobriety tests conducted at a weigh station here in Tennessee.
On behalf of Law Office of Rob McKinney posted in Field Sobriety Tests on Thursday, September 8, 2016.
Many Tennessee residents have joked about the fact that they could not walk a straight line or say the alphabet backwards even if they were sober. Even though this is often said in jest, the truth of the matter is that it is not far from the truth. Field sobriety tests are often not a reliable indication of impairment, and many people have been arrested for DUI based on these tests, only to have the charges dismissed later.
On behalf of Law Office of Rob McKinney posted in Field Sobriety Tests on Thursday, May 12, 2016.
University of Tennessee football fans might recall that Charles Mosley, an offensive lineman, was arrested in July 2015 on suspicion of DUI and speeding. Recently, a preliminary hearing was held to determine whether there was enough evidence to send the case to a grand jury. The judge ruled that prosecutors failed to meet the minimum threshold for proof of the charges due to a lack of probable cause for the arrest.
On behalf of Law Office of Rob McKinney posted in Field Sobriety Tests on Tuesday, March 29, 2016.
Being asked to perform a field sobriety test can be an intimidating and nerve-wracking experience regardless of whether a person is intoxicated or not. One reason field sobriety tests can evoke fear or trepidation in a driver is because the tests can lead to drunk driving charges in Tennessee. These charges can come about if an officer decides a motorist has failed the test. However, a motorist could fail the test for reasons that have nothing to do with intoxication.
On behalf of Law Office of Rob McKinney posted in Field Sobriety Tests on Wednesday, March 16, 2016.
A failed sobriety test can lead to an arrest for DUI. One Tennessee town official was recently arrested after she allegedly failed field sobriety tests. The woman also had two juveniles in the vehicle with her at the time of the arrest. One of those juveniles was her own son, and the other was a friend of that son.
On behalf of Law Office of Rob McKinney posted in Field Sobriety Tests on Thursday, January 14, 2016.
Being arrested or charged with a DUI can be downright scary for anyone. Field sobriety tests play a role in many DUI cases in Tennessee. However, they are not an exact science and typically involve being asked to perform a number of physical feats, including walking a straight line, standing on one foot, counting in a certain sequence and other tasks that may prove difficult for some. Anyone who is asked to take one, and then arrested based on how they perform the physical tasks asked of them, may benefit by gaining more information about these subjective tests.
On behalf of Law Office of Rob McKinney posted in Field Sobriety Tests on Wednesday, September 30, 2015.
It can be intimidating and stressful to be asked to submit to a field sobriety test. Many outside factors, including fear and stress, can combine to produce a false conclusion. Accordingly, a failed sobriety test is possible even if the driver is not intoxicated. If you are facing a drunk driving charge in Tennessee , being aware of these factors may be important in contesting the accusations in criminal court.
On behalf of Law Office of Rob McKinney posted in Field Sobriety Tests on Wednesday, August 12, 2015.
A field sobriety test can lead to an arrest, and the results can be used in court. This means the results can weigh heavily on your fate and you may lose your license, have to pay fines and suffer the other negative impacts of having a criminal record. Because of what is at stake, Tennessee citizens who partake in field sobriety tests at the request of a police officer should understand what outside factors may impact the results and how they may form part of a defense strategy when challenging a drunk driving charge.

Much of the talk around the “internet of things” is centered on sensors and the networking or connectivity part of the puzzle — the IP addresses that everyday objects will need to have, or the machine-to-machine (M2M) networks needed to connect all those sensors. But infrastructure isn’t the end of the story.
There’s another element to this new wave of technology, namely the software ecosystem that will emerge on top of that infrastructure. And a fundamental building block for that will be identity management — not for the users’ identities, but for the things themselves.
A company that’s thinking very hard about this element, Evrythng, has just joined a U.K. industry group that was set up last year by mobile chip architecture giant ARM(s armh), white space radio pioneer Neul, next-generation street light firm EnLight, sensor data outfit AquaMW and home energy management company AlertMe. The Internet of Things Architecture Forum (IoTA Forum, not to be confused with a similarly named European Union project) aims to shape the internet of things, and Evrythng’s contribution could make it easier for businesses to plug into that vision.
Hobsbawm drew an analogy between Evrythng’s platform and Facebook(s fb), only a Facebook that’s for inanimate objects rather than people. The idea is to give each item its own discoverable profile that may contain digital content, warranty information, or even an associated virtual object.
“Using everything’s system means that if the thing itself doesn’t have embedded connectivity, it’s simply a smart tag, performing many of the same functions. Your Facebook profile is a digital representation of you, an active living thing on the internet — somebody could be writing on your wall, or a Farmville app could be updating. So when you connect with [an object] using your smartphone, you draw down the updated dynamic state of that information.
This could mean neat new applications for consumers, but Evrything also supplies managed analytics and APIs for businesses that want to track individual items and add data to them as they pass through the distribution chain. One example: the firm boasts a case study with the beverages giant Diageo(s deo), where people buying their dad a bottle of whisky for his birthday could add a “personalized film tribute”.
The company is also working with IBM(s ibm) and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and, according to Evrythng, the IoTA Forum is expanding to include device manufacturers and service providers. With links like that, it looks like this “Facebook(s fb) for things” approach may just find traction.
This piece originally misspelled Evrythng’s name.
Ah, the pitfalls of using a misspelled common word as a company name. How exactly should we misspell that word?

A migration towards using cloud platforms has been a catalyst to fully embrace an end-to-end DevOps approach at Hiscox, said company CTO Jonathan Fletcher in a talk at the DevOps Enterprise Summit in London in June.
Fletcher’s talk was titled ‘Sorry Mr(s) Ops, We Hadn’t Forgotten You - Part Two of the Hiscox Story’. It built on his talk from 2016 and highlighted the impact of their growing realisation that, despite making improvements such as reducing the number of people involved in a release from eight to two, increasing the number of deploys from two a week to fifty a day and reducing the deployment time from four hours to twenty minutes, IT operations had been overlooked; these successes were contained within the development teams and their continuous delivery pipeline. By considering ops’ role in DevOps and how to extend their practice of DevOps principles, Hiscox identified cloud as a strategy to build a foundation for increased flexibility, stability and reduced cost into the future.
Fletcher said that their choice of cloud vendor was Azure. They made this decision based on their observation that Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure were clear leaders in this space. They ultimately chose Azure based on their existing commitment to Microsoft technologies.
An initial dislike for ‘lifting and shifting’ applications into the cloud without re-architecting to take advantage of the benefits of cloud has been superseded by the view that they will move as fast as they can and then fix later. This means that by the end of 2017 three of Hiscox’s biggest systems, transacting hundreds of millions of pounds of business, will have gone live in Azure.
By 2020, Fletcher says Hiscox expect to be in the position where IT will be delivering strategic, competitive advantage rather than being a ‘subservient order taker’. The company also intends to flatten expenses costs as they grow by focusing on renting IT services rather than building them themselves.
We had an opportunity to explore Fletcher’s themes with him in more detail.
InfoQ: The audience loved the ‘IT-Less IT Team’ phrase you used – what are the steps you need to take to get to one business?
Jonathan Fletcher: From an IT point-of-view it’s about aligning tools, processes and ideas in IT and getting on a common platform. Then getting deeper integration with the business and federating IT out to the business – then removing IT as an entity and embedding IT skills into the business’ value streams. At Hiscox there is a group budget for IT that with cloud we are pushing back into the business as a discretionary spend.
It’s a really interesting this time in our lives to see how children use IT – my kid who’s two is using an iPad quite happily. People coming out of university will just have many IT skills without necessarily being in IT; so more and more IT skills will appear everywhere in a business with new generations.
And the move to cloud and consuming things rather than building them will also make this happen naturally. Using SAAS and doing due diligence to ensure that it’s the right product to use is a different skill set from designing and building it ourselves. It will reduce our IT touch points.
InfoQ: I’m sure many readers have heard the phrase you highlighted, ‘not my job’ – as you said, a classic DevOps anti-pattern. What’s the strategy for changing that behaviour?
Fletcher: It’s a cultural thing – we need to be focused on being a single team and all share the attitude that it’s everyone’s responsibility to get it over the line. Silos create handoffs. The Agile Manifesto helps with this in that the basis of it is that we are not individual parts but part of a greater team.
InfoQ: You say that cloud first is accelerating the DevOps revolution – what is the connection between cloud first and DevOps?
Fletcher: You can do cloud without doing DevOps but whether you should do it is the question. You are potentially just moving the problem. What moving to cloud gives you more is time to tackle the way you deliver stuff and make improvements around speed, quality, security and performance.
InfoQ: You say that DevOps is critical to businesses stealing a march on their competition. Why is this?
Fletcher: It’s around the changing role of IT. IT used to be a subservient order taker from the business but it’s becoming a two-way conversation. We need to ask questions like if a process that took eight hours only takes twenty seconds, what does that mean for the business? Insurance in particular is about understanding risk, which is essentially a data problem; if we can understand the data problem we can serve our customers better.
InfoQ: Like many organisations at DOES, you have some challenges around getting ops on board - this problem we see with DevOps being done in dev. Why does this happen so much and how can we remedy it?
Fletcher: The focus on dev happens because first of all there is more obvious value in changing the development cycle because businesses want to get more change out of the door. The theory of continuous delivery gets people excited about change velocity as does the appetite for agile, which, of course, also came from a software engineering perspective. We need to try to take the ops guys on the same journey; help them move away from waterfall, get to automation, use lean tools and VSM – it’s the same approach. It’s a bigger jump though for Ops as they are unfamiliar to these ways of working – it’s a quantum leap for them. Things that can help them make that move are training, cross-skilling, mentoring and coaching – giving them the skills to just get on and do it.
InfoQ: What’s been the most valuable insight for you from the DevOps Enterprise Summit this year?
Fletcher: ITSM versus ALM is the big one for me driving lots of conversation about how to tackle this technology and process problem where these two things are so unfamiliar to each other – who wants to write a user story when they raise a support ticket?

Scandinavia, Stanley Gibbons Stamp Catalogue Part II, 5th edition, 6 x 8-1/2 inches, perfect bound, soft covers, 382 pages, Stanley Gibbons Ltd., London, 2001, ISBN 0-85259-519-0, £24.95.
These special Scandinavia editions of the Gibbons catalogs began in 1970, and the last one was issued in 1994. Countries covered here are Åland, DWI, Denmark with Schleswig, Faroe Islands, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. The publisher has drawn on several recognized experts and updated the previous edition considerably. Some of the catalog numbers have changed since the 1994 edition and a table supplies the new equivalents.
The Gibbons approach to their specialized catalogs is to focus on stamps basically, excluding revenues, stationery, locals, labels, and specimens. However, FRAMA machine labels and stamp booklets are included. The introductory section goes into some details on printing, paper, perforation, gum, watermarks, color, luminescence, etc. and appears to be a common text used throughout their foreign catalog series.
The black and white illustrations are quite good. Major stamp varieties are listed. The Finland listing includes the military fieldpost stamps, and the Norway section includes a listing of the numeral cancels. The section on Sweden concludes with a listing of designs on her stamps, which will interest topical collectors.
For those who collect Scandinavia only, this catalog is a useful reference for the general collector who does not wish to purchase the larger versions of the Gibbons or Scott catalogs that include many other countries.

Personal development objectives. We are seeking for a deepened and enriched discipleship study in the knowledge of Jesus Christ, whom we seek to know and emulate in all aspects of life.
Ministry objectives. We endeavor to increase our competence and effectiveness in the advancement of the kingdom of God and fulfillment of the Great Commission—that is, discipleship and disciple-making—beginning in Kenya, extending throughout Africa, and thence to the ends of the earth. In particular, we are eager to address ourselves to the development of course materials that are biblically sound and theologically relevant for use as study resources for pastors, church leaders, and ministry workers who would otherwise have little if any access to theological education.
The set of 12 courses described below share the following distinctive features: a high degree of cohesiveness throughout the entire program of study; an emphasis on the storyline of the Bible as a framework for interpretation; an emphasis on representational theology—that is, a way of perceiving persons, events, circumstances, and things through the lens of Scripture and according to the mind and heart of Christ; and an emphasis on the Christian gospel in all its richness and fullness.
Courses may also be selected from other TSU Colleges.
A good working knowledge of both biblical Hebrew and Greek as demonstrated by course work and/or personal evaluation may be required, depending on the area of concentration.

Innovations often come from unexpected places and circumstances. In 2008-2009 the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) issued a challenge to roboticists. DARPA wanted roboticists to create a robot that could motivate itself to a door, get under the door and motivate itself away. This challenge led to a new field called soft robotics from a chemistry lab, not robotics or engineering, at Harvard Univ. with a pipeline that led to solutions for labor shortages in the food manufacturing industry.
The traditional roboticists tried to build a transformer-type robot. It would motivate itself to the door, then by way of linkages break itself down low enough to get under the door. None of these approaches succeeded.
The new field of soft robotics created in the Harvard Univ. chemistry lab, and led by George Whitesides, Ph.D., specialized in building robotic structures out of soft, non-rigid materials. The chemists from Harvard used fluid actuation, pneumatics and hydraulics on off-the-shelf polymers to build the only robot that succeeded in moving up to the door, crawling under it and moving away.
The team of Harvard chemists continued to work on the technology and Whitesides, through experience creating biotech and pharmaceutical companies, began to network with his contacts in the “hard products” industry. A friend of a friend reached out to Vause, whose experience with product development includes working with 3M and a medical device company, to suggest a meeting with Whitesides to discuss the new technology. After Vause and Whitesides met, Vause was intrigued by the way the robot interacted with its environment and the effect that interaction might have on solving a problem the robotics community had always dealt with: developing a robot to pick up fragile items that vary in weight and size.
Vause saw the potential the technology had to enable robots to adapt to and work in lower and unstructured environments. Vause and his team licensed the technology from Harvard, established the company, Soft Robotics, in the summer of 2013, and worked to get the technology to market. Once there, the company began getting calls from food companies looking for solutions to labor shortages, particularly in packaging.
“They [food companies] said, we’re either in a refrigerated or freezer environment, we have objects, whether they’re tomatoes, or cuts of beef or chicken drumsticks, they’re easily damaged, they’re all different sizes and weights, and we need to make sure that we can get this product packaged. We’ve tried robots, but robots just couldn’t handle our product,” Vause says.
A big part of Soft Robotics’ potential in the industry lies in its compliance with the code of federal regulations (CFR) of the US Govt. for Food Contact Packaging, its certification with the Japanese FDA and its certification for direct food contact in the European Union (EU). The certifications allow possible increases in sanitation because human hands have touched the food one less time.
The Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certification for the EU requires a full and auditable supply chain for the materials used in the Soft Robotics technology. How the materials were manufactured and the steps of manufacture from beginning through to the customer ensure no contaminants or adulterants have been introduced.
Soft Robotics started in the food industry with its first applications in the bakery segment in April of 2016. The technology handles finished and frozen baked product and raw dough. Then in 2017 it began to work with a company on packaging raw chicken drumsticks.
As with any new technology applied to business, companies need to know that return on investment (ROI) will not only exist but increase the bottom line enough to warrant the time and resources necessary to implement the new technology.
Soft Robotics begins the process with an in-house study of pickability and rate. If the manufacturer opts to go ahead with the Soft Robotics technology, it can be retrofitted onto existing robots, or built from the ground up in a new line or greenfield plant. Soft Robotics engineered its technology to integrate with most food safe robots already in use. Vause says more than two hours is a long time to get an integrated robot tuned and up and running.
“So, the customer isn’t required to use one particular make or model of robot. They can use our system in just about anything they’re already using,” Vause says.
For full-line builds and ground-up plant build projects, facilities will employ a systems integrator to handle conveyance, food and worker safety, etc. Soft Robotics and the systems integrator will work together to create a line with Soft Robotics’ technology and give the end user a full line that’s ready to run.
In addition to the robotic grippers, Soft Robotics offers a vision system and artificial intelligence (AI) solutions. Soft Robotics can integrate these into existing robotic systems that require those applications, as well.
Soft Robotics is still in the pilot stages for meat and poultry packaging, but Vause and the industry believe the opportunities for applying the technology is tremendous. Currently, Soft Robotics has bakery lines running around the world handling both fresh and frozen product. Also, the company currently packages produce items such as lettuce, corn and corn on the cob, as well as confectionary items like chocolates and candies. Many of the current systems are in full deployment and have been running 24 hours a day for over two years.
Regardless of whether the item is fresh or frozen beef, chicken or pork, Vause says getting it off a conveyor and into a package is currently the best application for Soft Robotics’ technology.
“It’s a solution that can be deployed today and that’s where we’re really hearing from our customers,” Vause says. “That’s where the labor scarcity is really hitting home for them. It’s in the packaging activities.
Beyond the packaging aspect, Vause says processors have asked about the application to points earlier in the process, such as cutting and whether robots will ever perform those types of tasks. Vause agrees that worker safety advantages etc., certainly make sense, but aren’t realistic right away.
“I think it’s going to be a while before the robotics community, us included, can fully figure that one out, but I do think robotics will come to that step of the process as well,” he says.
For now, Vause and Soft Robotics will continue to focus on the area believed to be the most relevant currently, labor shortages in packaging.

I have a question regarding my uploaded spaces. When viewing them through Gear VR in Matterport VR app, I never get the stereoscopic icon and a stereoscopic view. The force Monoscopic is not checked in the options.
Stereoscopic rendering was only available with CustomVR Spaces. CoreVR Spaces currently only support a limited Stereoscopic view, which is why the icon does not light up for CoreVR.
Really don't understand why Matterport is still mentioned as "3D" tours.
"360" tours would be a more accurate definition I think.
I am very interested in getting CustomVR again.

Whilst the majority of this information is specifically applicable to MTB riding, it is essential that all club riders are aware of the Road Ride Etiquette as well since many off road trails are accessed via the public highway. The etiquette may sound like rules for the sake of rules but these are the basics, which have been developed by cyclists over the years and are the essentials of riding safely together and in harmony with other trail users.
Obviously the terrain & trail conditions can vary greatly throughout a ride from wide, open fields to steep, narrow gullies. It is important to be aware of your surroundings & those around you.
We are likely to encounter walkers or horse riders on the trails. Whoever is at the front should slow down & warn the rest of the group. We should also communicate our presence to the other trail users & look for a safe place to pass.
When we come to a gate, the rider at the front should hold it open for the rest of the group & be sure to close it behind them.
If you have a puncture or mechanical issue inform the group. We will always wait for you & help out if possible.
If you wish to leave the ride early please inform the ride leader. We don’t want to spend hours looking for you.
It is common on long or technical climbs that the group will become spread out as ability & fitness levels differ. Ride at a pace you are comfortable with, we always regroup at the top. Try to judge your level relative to the group & position yourself accordingly at the bottom of the hill.
On particularly steep or difficult sections try to leave a gap to the rider in front & be prepared to stop as it’s possible they won’t “clean” the section. If you do come to a halt, move to the side of the trail if possible & allow others to pass.
If you would like to pass the rider ahead wait for a suitable piece of trail & then indicate to them that you are coming passed, “on your left/right” is a common call. Similarly, if you feel you are holding up other riders find a safe place to pull over to one side & wave them through.
We will generally stop at the start of a descent, and as with climbs we will always regroup at the bottom. The ride leader should warn of any particularly steep or difficult sections. So ride at your own pace & don’t take unnecessary risks to keep up with the rider in front of you.
Again, try to judge your position within the group. Leave a sensible gap to the rider ahead & only overtake if it’s safe to do so.
If you are unsure of a section you can always stop & have a look.
If you come across an obstruction on the trail or someone takes a tumble, stop & warn the rest the rest of the group.
Ensure your bike is well maintained and we also recommend, particularly in the Autumn/Winter time, fitting mudguards and lights. So, check brake/disc pads and tyres for signs of wear and that they have the right tyre pressure before setting off. If you are unsure about the safety of your bike, don’t be afraid to ask a ride leader for some informal advice but this is no substitute for having it properly serviced by a qualified mechanic at your local bike shop (club membership gets you some worthwhile discounts in many of the local shops).
A mountain bike rider must be fit, healthy and be over 18 years of age.
Never ride your mountain bike alone. Always have someone watching out for you.

Well, I think I've finally gone over the edge. Yes, I've found another typewriter that I just HAD TO HAVE.
I must say though, that I think I just bought the best that Smith-Corona ever made. The only thing I can do now to improve my typewriter collection is to buy more of the same model in different colors ... although, I've kind of been eyeballing one of the old Corona 3 foldable typewriters lately.
I also must leak some future news in the writing area. I think you'll like it, but you'll just have to wait until next month. I actually thought about writing some of my mystery/crime/suspense works in progress on this new typewriter but then thought about the lack of auto correct, and cut and past, and quickly squelched that idea before it could fester.
Yeah, it looks more blue than green but not as blue as it appears in the pictures. Won this on auction at ebay for a whopping thirty-nine dollars! I don't know, did Smith-Corona sell this in blue in 1958?
Fine typewriter. I do think baby blue was the original color.
Gorgeous machine. Well worth blowing the collective space restraints to acquire. I'd love one myself!
I have a '56 model and it's my go-to typewriter when I want smooth typing. These are rock-solid machines. Very snappy, they can put some newer typewriters to shame.
Thanks for the comments. L.G.-you'd be surprised how easy it is to let the words flow (free-writing, mind-mapping) using one of these nostalgic machines. Although I must say, you are so right. I am amazed at the authors of old that typed (and re-typed) entire manuscripts without the used of features like 'find and replace' 'cut and paste' or even auto tab and centering.
That Smith-Corona is a reliable and pleasant typewriter for regular use. Nice powder blue color too. Congratulations.
A wonderful machine. I have four models from 1950 to 1958. Your baby-blue machine is beautiful, enjoy.

The anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL, is one of the major ligaments of the knee that is in the middle of the knee and runs from the femur (thigh bone) to the tibia (shin bone). It prevents the tibia from sliding out in front of the femur. Together with posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) it provides rotational stability to the knee.
When you injure your ACL, you might hear a "popping" sound and you may feel as though the knee has given out. Within the first two hours after injury, your knee will swell and you may have a buckling sensation in the knee during twisting movements.
Diagnosis of an ACL tear is made by knowing your symptoms, medical history, performing a physical examination of the knee, and performing other diagnostic tests such as X-rays, MRI scans, stress tests of the ligament, and arthroscopy.
Treatment options include both non-surgical and surgical methods. If the overall stability of the knee is intact, your doctor may recommend nonsurgical methods. Non-surgical treatment consists of rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE protocol); all assist in controlling pain and swelling. Physical therapy may be recommended to improve knee motion and strength. A knee brace may be needed to help immobilize your knee.
Young athletes involved in pivoting sports will most likely require surgery to safely return to sports. The usual surgery for an ACL tear is an ACL reconstruction which tightens your knee and restores its stability. Surgery to reconstruct an ACL is done with an arthroscope using small incisions. Your doctor will replace the torn ligament with a tissue graft that can be obtained from your knee (patellar tendon) or hamstring muscle. Following ACL reconstruction, a rehabilitation program is started to help you to resume a wider range of activities.

“Structural damage,” referred to in a Sinkhole Loss Claim, is defined as damage that impairs the structural integrity of the building.
In Hegel v. First Liberty Ins. Corp., 2015 U.S. App. LEXIS 3024, this case involves an insurance-coverage dispute that began in 2011 between Severin and Stephanie Hegel (the Hegels) and The First Liberty Insurance Corporation. The Hegels claim that First Liberty improperly denied their claim for a sinkhole loss. As defined under their homeowner’s insurance policy, a sinkhole loss is “structural damage to the building, including the foundation, caused by sinkhole activity.” First Liberty argues that the damage to the Hegels’ residence does not qualify as “structural damage,” a term that was not defined in either the policy or the version of the Florida sinkhole-insurance statute applicable to their claim. In February 2014, the district court granted summary judgment for the Hegels, finding that “structural damage” meant any “damage to the structure” and awarding them $166,518.17 in damages. First Liberty timely appealed.
The Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit found that the district court awarded the Hegels damages for all subsurface and cosmetic repairs based on the parties’ stipulation that there was “physical damage to the Hegels home.” The Court of Appeals agreed with First Liberty that the plain meaning of “structural damage” could not be simply any “damage to the structure.” The Court of Appeals stated that the phrase instead meant damage that impaired the structural integrity of the building. The Court reversed the judgment and remanded the case back to the district court to decide if a genuine dispute of material fact exists regarding how much, if any, structural damage to the Hegels’ house is due to sinkhole activity.
