I understand that the next version of OS X won't allow users to install anything into /usr/bin/. Is this going to affect newLISP installations?
The installer and configure script will use /usr/local/bin, which will be writable by the user in OSX 10.11. The configure-alt script already uses that directory. Changes are also completely compatible with older versions of OSX, as /usr/local/ always existed and always has been used by third party software.

I have a 2004 Mercury mountaineer that has quite a few problems, but none that have ever stumped me quite as much as today when the "Engine FailSafe Mode" error suddenly popped up in the message center. The reason this has me stumped, is because after I parked my car and checked the manual, none of the things that the manual was describing of a failsafe mode were happening: my AC didn't turn off, I had no problems driving a couple of blocks to get to a safe parking area, and none of my gauges were in a bad zone. A glance under the hood showed my cool reservoir was half full, so I intend to have that amended when I have my oil changed next week, but nothing seemed out of place. And, when I turned the car back on, not only did it turn over perfectly fine, but the message disappeared and I was able to drive about fifteen miles back home without the error occurring again.
I know my brake pads need replacing soon after the icy winter my car just went through, and I've always had problems with the brake lights staying on; but I don't see how either of these things might have caused the error.
I intend to have my car looked at ASAP, but I was wondering if anyone has had this occur before. I can't get my usual mechanic to look at it until Monday, and I might be taking it to one of the dealers tomorrow (saturday) as a fallback, and I'd really they rather not take advantage of my status as a twenty-three year old who is ignorant to certain aspects of her car; so any solid input would be greatly appreciated.

In France, pork cheeks are classified as “les abats” or offal because they are attached to the pig’s head. The head, considered by no Frenchman ever as a thrown away item, is part of the stripped carcass. I don’t even understand why the French place the head of anything with les abats, considering their affinity for attached heads. Just try to buy a headless rabbit here and you’ll see what I mean.
Anyway, I was strolling by Maison Trotoux last week and noticed that his blackboard featured veal kidneys and veal liver so I stepped right in. I haven’t eaten les abats for about 1 1/2 years because I’m suspicious and distrustful of normal meat handling and processing in the U.S., so the insides of anything are out of the question. Thank the Lord for the French who specialize in making everything edible and safe to eat. It’s the law! Coincidentally, I was also in the market for pork cheeks in order to make a recipe I found in an old French Saveurs magazine and Trotoux had some; beautiful trimmed and irresistible.
Lardons, onions, garlic, fresh cherry tomatoes, oregano and basil sorted the negativity of the not quite ripe beans.
I even included the lone green bean.
Brown the cheeks on both sides in two batches then set aside. Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the pan and cook until onion is soft. Put the cheeks back in the pan, sprinkle with the flour, then cook and stir for about 1 minute. Add the wine and stirring, reduce for about 5 minutes. Stir in the bouquet garni and garlic, then place in a preheated 350 oven for 1 hour, covered.
Remove the cover, stir in the olives and return uncovered to the oven for an additional 30 minutes.

My kind of meal! I love that you added the lone green bean.
I wonder what M Parret does when you are in the US; he must miss you and your cooking terribly.
Brilliant, I have some pig cheeks in my freezer that I need to use, so this is the perfect solution. look forward to trying this recipe very soon.
Great Chris. This is good recipe.
Wonderful meal and it’s good to see M. Parret again and looking so well!
The rural French can be quite direct, but I’m all for honesty above pleasantries . Those look delicious – I might try cooking cheeks with olives later in the week. It’s lovely to see M. Parret on fine form – where’s the cheese plate?
I’ve just escaped alive from the London trade drinks show – the high points were Black Cow vodka (by product from their delicious cheese), Sharish Blue Magic Gin from Portugal and Unicorn Tears Gin!

It’s one o’clock in the morning and I’ve just come home from a very late and enjoyable dinner party. I’m exhausted and can’t wait to fall into bed and disappear under the covers. As my body yearns for this immediate escape, I know there is still one thing left to do. I walk into the bathroom, pick up a spool of dental floss, and begin a nightly flossing ritual that has been going on for decades. I finish up by brushing my teeth, walking into the bedroom like a zombie, and collapsing into the bed.
The action of flossing my teeth has become a nonnegotiable agreement. A non-negotiable agreement is some action (or non-action when dealing with addictions or compulsions) that you have agreed to do for yourself on a daily basis in spite of any feelings, thoughts, beliefs, excuses, or circumstances that may arise. Regardless of the scarcity of time or any internal screaming, feeling, pleading, debating, and/ or reasoning that may be occurring you agree to remain committed to a commitment that you have made with yourself for yourself.
In life, most of our daily commitments, positive habits and masterful actions are performed for others. We take care of our kids, feed our pets, go to work, pay the utility bills, write the report for our teacher or boss, help a friend with his/her dream or important project, etc. Regardless of how we are feeling or what we are thinking we show up and perform these actions because we have responsibilities, people are waiting, we gave our word to someone, and/or there are witnesses out there watching.
All of the above disciplined actions were put into motion because of someone else’s wants, demands and daily needs. In this respect, they are all reactive actions that, over time, due to repetition can become deeply grooved.
When this occurs, how can we become an active rather than a reactive person? How do we learn to groove empowering actions for ourselves so that we are able to accomplish our own dreams, personal projects and healthy regimens on a more regular basis? This is an important question because if we have no experience showing up on a consistent basis, it will become extremely challenging to face, engage, and complete a personal project for yourself.
To begin to strengthen our dream muscles we will need to develop the skill of taking actions on a regular basis, even when we don’t feel like it. If we can’t remain committed to our commitments what will occur is that our feelings, thoughts, beliefs and emotions will control, postpone or renegotiate what we want, but are unable to do. When this occurs, the things we care about the most can get trashed, frozen, or abandoned as we become reactive slaves to anything disempowering that may surface.
- The walk or jog you promised you’d take will never occur because you are just too tired, busy, or depressed.
- The second chapter of the novel you are longing to write will not be started, because you weren’t in the right magical mood to start writing it.
- The musical instrument that you’d love to start playing again will sit untouched because you fear that too many years of “non-playing” time have already elapsed.
- The doctor’s appointment that should be made will not be made because you get frozen in place every time you think of how much time and money you are going to need for the appointment.
Because the body and mind resist being selfregimented on a daily basis, it is very helpful to develop the skill of taking at least one non-negotiable and self-empowering action on a daily basis. This habit will help you to become more disciplined in other areas of your life as well. Regardless of any “reasonable reasons” and feelings that may appear and attempt to pursuade you to abandon or ignore the things you care about most in your life, you will be able to keep showing up.
Be aware that unless you have mastered at least one personal non-negotiable daily action, your logic, beliefs and lethargy, usually in the form of fear, can have a field day luring you away from your dreams and getting you to abandon your passions by persuading you not to take “master-full” and “health-full” actions on a regular basis.
A non-negotiable action can become your mastery touchstone.
If I flossed last night or did my minimum of five push-ups this morning or touched the flute for one minute - even when I didn’t feel like taking any action two things will occur. First, it will be easier to live up to and return to this same agreement the next day. Second, other agreements will become easier to make, face and return to as well.
It is obvious to me that Doc (and most professional musicians) had developed a non-negotiable and master-full agreement between himself and his trumpet.
If you are interested in developing your non-negotiable muscle, below are some suggestions 1) Pick some action or thing that you would like to have more would like to have more discipline in. It can be a dream or a health-full project.
5) I’m sure you are getting the picture. By the seventh month, you will be taking the action every day.
6) If and when you, drop the ball and neglect to take a non-negotiable action, forgive yourself. Beating yourself up will usually make it more difficult to return to your agreement.
1) When that fear-full voice attempts to convince you not to take the action, do the following. Thank the voice of fear for sharing and caring and still take the action.
2) Do not engage and / or debate the voice. What you resist will persist. Instead, let the voice speak while not granting it the right to vote.
Remember, once you let your feelings, moods and thoughts dictate what you do and what you don’t do, what gets accomplished and what doesn’t get accomplished, you will let your values, dreams and commitments get trashed and controlled by your feelings, thoughts, beliefs and fears. Instead, stay committed to your Non-Negotiable Habit(s) — and see how much more control you have over your life.

SuperEnalotto, played in Italy since year 1997, is a lottery game with one of the largest Jackpot in the world with the lowest odds of winning. Developed by SISAL, SuperEnaLotto, with modification in the well-known Italian lottery “Enalotto”. Enlotto is a very popular Italian lottery since 1950’s. The lottery is drawn on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday every week at 20:00 Italian time in Rom. SuperEnalotto Jackpot keep on increasing, with no cap on how many times it can roll over, until someone manages to win it. Each draw ticket cost €1 per play line and the winnings are Tax free.
As mentioned above each play or we can say the lottery ticket would normally cost $1. Just register through our website and you are ready to play without any hassle of going to the lottery store or waiting in a queue.
Players must match at least 2 number to win prize. If the player has managed to match all the six winning number drawn, he/she would win the Jackpot.
Along with the 6 main numbers drawn, there is an additional number drawn called “Jolly” number. This number offers a chance to players, who have matched 5 main numbers, to win additional bonus amount. This benefit is only available to second prize winners and no other prize tiers.
You can also choose to play for draws occurring on Tuesday only, Thursday only, Saturday only or for all draws. On our website players can select the direct debit option to play continuously for many weeks.
SuperStar, only possible to be played along with SuperEnaLotto, is a complementary game played at additional cost of €0.50 on top of the main draw cost. This means that if the SuperStar option is ticked the lottery ticket would cost €1.50. In order to play SuperStar, player is required to choose one number from the range of 1 to 90. After each draw of SuperEnaLotto, a SuperStar number is drawn separately from different machine, meaning it can be similar to one of the number drawn for SuperEnaLotto. Players who manages to match the SuperStar number and all 6 SuperEnaLotto number will get a bonus of €2m (additional to the jackpot) long as there is no other jackpot winner, or the bonus will split equally. Player who match only the SuperStar number will also win a prize.
Players will have choice to be paid in either cash or annuity option. Although winners must claim their winnings including the jackpot within 90 days of the draw.

Think for a moment about the logos or brand marks to which you have the strongest connections. It’s likely that those attachments have grown over time. Your experiences with the product or service have shaped and colored your interpretation of the logo—a visual symbol of that brand. In this way, the logo serves as a receptacle for the meanings and memories that you’ve given it over time. The logo functions as a visual cue for recollections of these experiences, whether good or bad.
Too often, it seems, companies release new logos with triumphant declarations of their meaning, telling us what the logo stands for. In my experiences, both as a logo designer and as a consumer, I find that the strongest, most-enduring logos are those that convey a bit of symbolism of their own, suggestive of the brand’s characteristics and/or goals, but are simple enough so as to leave plenty of room for storing the interpretations and bonds that consumers will provide over time.
For me, a case in point is the logo for Basso, an Italian bicycle manufacturer. Shown here on the front of my 1996(?) Basso Gap, the logo is a stylized “B” that could also be read as a “3”, since the company was started in 1977 by the three Basso brothers in Vicenza, Italy. The colors streaming from the left side of the B are suggestive of jersey traditionally worn by bike racing’s world champion each year.
However, when I first acquired this bike several years ago, even though I was aware of these intended meanings, they meant little to me. Only after I began to enjoy some long rides on this bike did I truly begin to appreciate the fine craftsmanship that went into building this machine. Now, years later, seeing the logo brings back memories of countless great rides on this bike, some filled with heart-pounding adventures at high speeds, and some filled with lazy pedal strokes during relaxed, contemplative drifting along quiet country roads. Also, being one of three brothers, I’ve sometimes thought of my own brothers when I look down at the bike and see the B/3 symbol, briefly recalling our childhood experiences together and the paths our lives have taken in the years since.
The Basso logo didn’t provide any of this meaning. I did. The logo simply houses the significance that I give it. As a result, my attachment to it is uniquely my own and constantly evolving, and is therefore stronger.

For families with housing vouchers in St. Louis, even the threat of budget cuts means dramatic consequences. For people on the waitlist, it’s even worse.
Adeena Crape may be one of the last people in St. Louis to receive a housing voucher—at least for a while.
Crape received a call late this past November from the Housing Authority. Upon learning she could pick up her voucher, she was taken aback. Years had passed since Crape put her name on the waitlist. She had dismissed the idea that a voucher would ever come. “I'm not even sure how I got it!” Crape says.
Crape applied the last time the St. Louis Housing Authority opened its waitlist—a fleeting five-day window in July 2014. Over the course of those five days, 27,708 residents of St. Louis put their names on the list. In other major cities, the demand for vouchers is just as extraordinary. The last time Chicago opened its waitlist for housing aid, 260,000 households applied. With that many people in the pool, the Chicago Housing Authority held a random lottery, advancing only one in every five families to the voucher waitlist. Nationwide, around 3 million families are on voucher waitlists. If the waitlists weren’t closed, the number might be as high as 9 million families.
In the coming months, Congress will make decisions that may dramatically shape Crape’s monthly housing payments, and possibly even her status as a voucher holder. With budget cuts looming, public housing authorities across the country are preparing to shrink their Housing Choice Voucher programs. Philosophically, staff in St. Louis and elsewhere will have to decide on the lesser of two evils: cut the number of vouchers or slash the value that vouchers provide.
Today, the St. Louis Housing Authority is working its way through the waitlist chronologically—and they have yet to review applicants who signed up after day one of that five-day reprieve back in 2014. That Crape spent years on the waitlist is strikingly typical. According to HUD, 35 percent of voucher holders spend more than three years on waitlists—and 15 percent spend more than five years waiting. “You know, it’s so hard out here. I know people on the waitlist 10 years, 8 years, 6 years,” Crape says.
St. Louis’s long line to a voucher is a testament to the pent-up demand for affordable housing.
Nationwide, only one out of every four eligible households receive support. For those without assistance, conditions are worsening; between 2013 and 2015, HUD reports, the number of severely rent-burdened households increased by more than half a million.
Against this backdrop, federal allocations are positioned to shrink services, shifting the costs to the individual. Cuts will disproportionately burden black women. In St. Louis, black people account for 94 percent of voucher holders. More than 80 percent are women-headed homes. For a city where almost a quarter of renters spend 50 percent or more of their income on housing, fewer federal dollars would mean more residents fighting housing insecurity.
Receiving a voucher does not necessarily ensure that recipients will be able to obtain safe, affordable housing. Folks like Crape are already navigating a rental landscape in St. Louis in which housing stock is increasingly limited and landlords regularly discriminate against voucher holders, despite the fact that this practice is illegal within city limits. Further, just last year during budget negotiations, more than a thousand vouchers nationwide were rescinded while families attempted to secure units, sending them back to the waitlist.
Cheryl Lovell, the executive director of the St. Louis Housing Authority, administers vouchers to just under 7,000 households in the city and neighboring county. Just before the new year, HUD notified housing authorities of possible budget cuts based on Congressional proposals. The letter told directors to anticipate anywhere from a one to five percent cut in voucher program funding. “I know our funding is going to go down, but I don't know by how much,” Lovell says.
The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities estimates that, under the last Senate bill, 25,000 households nationwide would drop off the voucher program in a year—this, even though the bill increases HUD’s overall funding. The House bill is significantly harsher, cutting an estimated 105,000 households from the program. Put into further perspective, the budget Trump gave to Congress would cut around 235,000 households nationwide as part of the largest proposed cut to HUD since the Reagan era.
While waiting for last year’s budget to pass, Lovell says industry groups predicted that funding would renew only 95 percent of her budget. The 5 percent gap would have been enough to create a small crisis, had it materialized. Given the uncertainty, Lovell was forced into the precarious position of cutting her own program.
To mitigate the potential damage, the Housing Authority’s Board of Commissioners decided to cut costs. They froze the waitlist for the first time since a nearly two-year period in 2014, meaning no names would come off the waitlist when vouchers became available. “Our first reaction, if the money gets cut substantially, is to just stop leasing to new tenants,” says Lovell.
Once the office stopped providing vouchers to applicants from the waitlist, attrition reduced the program. “Thirty-five to 40 households will fall off the program every month, and you hope that this makes up for the money that you've lost.” By not replacing these spots with families from the waitlist, Lovell’s program can be reduced by about 450 vouchers in a given year, if needed to fill a budget gap.
When the federal budget passed in May 2017, the St. Louis voucher program received more funding than expected. Still, the waitlist remained frozen for three months after the budget passed. “The leasing process itself takes a fairly long time to gear back up—so you stop and you start,” Lovell says. An uncertain budget increases inefficiencies.
The line Lovell walks was especially thin in 2013. That year, a gridlocked Congress triggered the across-the-board budget cut known as the sequester. As a result, housing authorities nationwide faced a 6 percent gap in voucher funding.
When housing authorities run out of other options, they sometimes turn to watering down the payment standard, or value, of vouchers. Payment standards are the maximum amount of subsidy a household can receive. When payment standards go down, tenants have a harder time making ends meet. Plus, their pool of available units is further restricted.
For households moving between homes in St. Louis during the summer of 2013, the support they received plummeted. The Housing Authority’s idea was to reduce each voucher holder’s support just enough to avoid knocking anyone off the program. Instead of receiving vouchers worth 110 percent of an area’s fair market rent (the maximum), their vouchers’ values sank to 95 percent. Vouchers no longer stretched as far. For example, in fiscal year 2013, a voucher for a two-bedroom unit within the city covered up to $871 of rent and utilities. Under these new payment standards and the 2013 budget, only up to $788 would be covered.
“This shifts more costs onto low-income households, who either must pay more to remain in their current housing or move to lower cost, lower quality housing,” writes Douglas Rice, senior policy analyst for the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. As a result, in St. Louis, fewer families were able to move out of the region’s high-poverty areas, where vouchers are already concentrated within lines of racial segregation. Policy changes fenced them in: The Housing Authority denied all tenant requests to move to homes in higher-cost areas. This, despite the program’s promise in increasing residents’ choices.
In May 2013, the housing authority sent a letter outlining program cutbacks to landlords, appealing to their goodwill. Staff, bracing for cuts, planned to decrease payment standards for all tenants, thereby increasing rent burden, with as little as 30 days warning. The letter asked landlords to voluntarily defer rent increases and reduce rent by 5 percent. Lovell admits, “These two attempts to reduce cost were not very successful.” Only two landlords deferred rent increases. No landlords reduced rent.
When facing cuts, even housing authorities are less likely to meet tenants half way. Leeway within programs—such as a payment plan for shifting income—can make the difference between a family keeping and losing their voucher. “But when you're trying to control the cost and get under this cap, all the nice things you do for people, you're just like, ‘Nope, sorry, can't do that anymore,’” Lovell says. Cuts to administrative funding over recent years have compounded the shrinking support that housing authorities provide to tenant-landlord relations.
And while budget uncertainty diminished the voucher program’s pledge of social mobility, it didn’t undermine it completely. St. Louis avoided the most extreme scenario: not a single voucher was taken from a family following this budget cut. For many housing authorities nationwide it was a closer call, with tenants’ livelihoods often hanging in the balance. “We do everything else before we do that, everything. We do not want to remove a family,” Lovell says. But if it has to happen, the rule is simple: Last in, first out.
Today, housing authorities everywhere, St. Louis city included, have narrower margins and shallower emergency funds than they did following sequestration. This makes the worst-case scenario—housing authorities revoking vouchers—all the more likely if the Trump administration succeeds in imposing radical austerity.
With uncertain cuts looming and an administration that is anxious to dramatically reduce housing support, Crape occupies the position of “last in.” Any future cost-cutting measures in St. Louis will be made in an attempt to keep her, and other households recently awarded vouchers, in their homes.

Consider selling merchandise that will not go out of style in 5 days. The Internet meme merchandizing of recent times has caused me to visit this business less and less often, while the climbing prices only add insult to injury. "Tasteful" has never been a word to describe this business, and I never minded that, but in the last few years the term "Dignity" not only died, its corpse was dug back up, beaten with a shovel, and then slapped on an ironic T-shirt that costs $25 or more.
Although, when I think about it, maybe I should have switched dignity and tasteful.

Beautiful tones. Each morning going to work and again coming home I am greeted with beautiful tones, because of those tones I am reminded of all the beauty I must take the time to enjoy.
Great sound, sturdy construction, tone is fantastic! We will eventually buy more. Only time will tell, but they look like they should last a very long time.
These are excellent wind chimes! Expensive but worth the price!
I have had this wind chime for about 6yrs and bought this one as a gift for my brother. He has admired it for years. It has a great sound and nothing matches it. People down the street actually think there is a church in the neighborhood!
The chimes are great and very good quality!

Compulsory coding classes will be rolled out across Queensland next year.
In a move the State Government says will equip children for the jobs of the future, parents will no longer be able to opt out of digital learning classes for their kids.
The mandatory digital learning classes from Prep to Year 10 will cover coding, robotics and other tech-related lessons.
Similar classes are already central to the primary curricula of England, Belgium, Finland, Estonia and the Netherlands.
State Education Minister Kate Jones said it was an exciting change.
“We are on a learning journey ourselves but I think when you crunch the numbers in regards to the skills young people are going to need in the future, then we owe it to them to help them take part in the digital economy,” she said.
Griffith University Dean of Education Donna Prendergast says all kids will need enhanced tech skills.
“At this particular time in the history of human kind digital coding is one of those key learning areas that we must attend to,” she said.
Child development expert Dr Michael Nagel has warned that there is still a debate over how much screen time is good for young people.
“There is a growing body of research that says engaging with iPads and engaging with technology may be doing more harm than good in terms of health,” he said.
“You should really look at the evidence, and to date there really is not any evidence to support this.
“Somehow I think it is kind of fascinating when people say if kids don't do it they are going to be left behind.

Quickly shallow-frying the chicken halves in shallot oil after they’ve been roasted locks in their juices and yields beautifully crispy, golden-brown skin. Served with garlicky boiled potatoes and topped with crunchy fried shallots and lots of fresh dill, this dish is perfect to welcome spring.
Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 325°F. Pat chicken halves dry with paper towels and season generously all over with salt. Arrange, skin side up, on 2 wire racks set inside 2 baking sheets so that you have 2 chicken halves on each rack. Roast chickens, rotating baking sheets top to bottom and front to back halfway through, until just golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breasts registers 150°F, 45–50 minutes.
Meanwhile, pulse garlic in a food processor until finely chopped. Heat 1 cup oil in a small saucepan over medium until shimmering. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until softened and slightly darker, about 1 minute. Transfer to a small bowl. Stir in Aleppo-style pepper and 1 1/2 tsp. salt. Set garlic oil aside for serving.
Fit a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot with deep-fry thermometer. Heat remaining 2 cups vegetable oil over medium-high until thermometer registers 350°F. Fry shallots, stirring often, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Using a fine-mesh sieve or spider, transfer shallots to paper towels to drain; season with salt. Remove pot from heat if chicken hasn’t finished roasting yet.
As soon as chickens are done, remove from oven and lightly dab with paper towels to remove as much moisture from the underside as possible (this will prevent them from spattering too much when you put them in the hot oil). Reheat shallot oil to 350°F if needed. Working with 1 half at a time and maintaining oil temperature between batches, fry chickens, skin side down, until skin is crisp and deeply browned, 6–8 minutes. Transfer to clean wire racks as you go; season lightly with salt.
Meanwhile, combine potatoes and 2 Tbsp. salt in another large pot and pour in cold water to cover by 1". Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are very tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 10–15 minutes, depending on size of potatoes. Drain and return potatoes to the same pot. Gently press down on potatoes to break up slightly. Add 1/3 cup reserved garlic oil, season with salt, and toss to combine.
Transfer potatoes to a small platter. Drizzle with some more garlic oil. Cut chicken halves into pieces and arrange on a large platter. Drizzle chicken with some garlic oil, then sprinkle dill and fried shallots over. Serve with any remaining garlic oil alongside.

In my painting I deal with magic of abstraction with renessance on Dada.
When I stand in front of a white screen, I feel quieter and freer, put on a first layer of paint, let me drift and come mostly in new areas and connections.
Now I move completely new terrain for me and paint instinctively as banned, until I get to the secret.
The motive is a language of its own and it communicates with me.
"What we call Dada is foolishness, extracted from emptiness, in which all the higher problems are wrapped up; a gladiator's gesture, a game playing with shabby remains, ... a public execution of a decree of false morality. "
Among the principal creative findings of Dada is the principle of random (stochastic) organization of compositions of their works, the reception of "artistic automatism" in the act of creativity, the use of all kinds of objects in art-activities sphere.

Bag flatteners are inclining, belt conveyors that flatten filled bags for uniform stacking.
Filled bags pass between dual belts that automatically compress and shape the tear drop shaped bags to a uniform “brick-like” shape for better palletizing. Uniformly flattened bags ensure less product spillage and product damage due to uneven pallet loads.
Bag flatteners are usually located after a bag kicker/turner and before a transfer conveyor. INPAK SYSTEMS offers bag flatteners from Chantland, ESP, JEM and Rapat.

A few hours ago, the daytraders saw the decline again on the bitcoin chart. If somebody was hoping that the last week of peace would be the entrance to the oyster and then the bull market, they may feel uneasy today. But what else happened in the world of cryptocurrencies?
The new cryptocurrency ranking was published in the Chinese media on January 24. It is part of the monthly cycle prepared by the Center for Information and Development of Industry (CCID) and financed by the Chinese government. The results of evaluations of individual cryptocurrencies may arouse controversy. The first place was taken by EOS – a project that stirs mixed feelings. Ethereum was in the second place. Bitcoin is far beyond the podium – only in the 15th place, and Ripple (XRP) in the 20th position in the ranking.
In the analysis of tokens, cryptocurrencies and entire projects, three factors have been taken into account: technology, its practical application and creativity.
According to a letter published by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), CBOE withdrew its request to create an ETF based on bitcoin. It is not yet known whether CBOE will apply again. It could make a tactical decision. Decide to withdraw the application, knowing that it will be rejected anyway, but plans to resubmit it before the SEC. According to market observers, however, this is proof that the ETF will not be created this year.
Employees of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a Vault cryptocurrency that requires fewer users to join the network and verify transactions.
– Vault is a cryptocurrency that allows users to join the network by downloading only a fraction of all transactional information. It also includes a system for removing empty accounts that take up unnecessary space and allows you to verify transactions using only the latest data that is shared and shared on the network. In this way, we minimized the size of required [stored and processed] data for individual users – the authors wrote in the report.

The bassoon is seldom seen in the jazz world – surely the relative scarcity of players within the genre has limited this woodwind’s ability to carve itself a respectable place in the pantheon of jazz instruments. Although there is a rich and noble, though little known, history of jazz bassoon playing, the instrument is usually thought of as a strictly “classical” instrument. And not just a classical instrument: more often than not, it is popularly, though unfairly, referred to as the “clown of the orchestra”. This thesis examines the way the bassoon is described in classical orchestration and jazz arranging books, in order to look at the language used when describing this unique woodwind, as well as looking at how we go about expressing/verbalizing sound at large. As composers and arrangers comprise the primary audience for these didactic works, we must wonder if the way it is described to these creators and orchestrators may be partly responsible for perpetuating the bassoon = buffoon myth… Adjacent to this written portion of the thesis are six original compositions for jazz sextet featuring the bassoon, written to explore the wide range of sonic expression this instrument is capable of rendering outside of the classical realm.
The composition portfolio contains pieces composed and arranged for trumpet / flugelhorn, tenor sax / bass clarinet, bassoon, piano, bass and drums.

Posted on April 1, 2012 by Sock!
Critical confrontations are tools for resolving broken promises, violated expectations and bad behavior. As a man, you will be expected to showcase your leadership skills, within the relationship, by conducting tough dialogue, at tough times, that produces not only an agreeable solution but one that strengthens the respect, trust and value that the two of you hold for each other all while doing so.
Most people avoid conflict because they lack both the will, and more importantly the confident ability to successfully navigate the treacherous waters that conflicts lay in. They more or less accurately assess their lack of abilities for the situation at hand. They are simply out of their depths and fear any action taken will worsen the situation. Unfortunately doing nothing, does nothing to solve the issue and reinforces the notion that you’ve just provided tacit approval for the issue at hand. By conducting critical confrontations for minor breaches of boundaries, beginning with friends, family, co-workers and associates, where the threat of loss or intimidation is low, one can develop not only the essential skill of establishing boundaries, but emotional toughness, self-respect and self-esteem that comes from having done so, that will pay massive dividends when dealing with a loved one, in a highly emotionally charged, invested and at risk situation.
Learn that some conflict is healthy. Underlying tension and conflict within a relationship indicates a required communication point, which isn’t unhealthy, but left un-communicated it will grow into an unhealthy element and situation, which will poison the relationship. Understanding your unwillingness to engage in such a process can be terribly telling about you, the woman you’re with and the health of the relationship. Do you just lack the ability and confidence to conduct such a conversation? Is she incapable of mutually navigating this conversation with you? Is this issue a lesser of a greater one you’re also not facing? Failing to do so is an indication of a lack of self-respect; it undermines the relationship and does not reflect that you respect the woman you’re with to conduct one.
The events that leads to a loss of trust and affects the core of the relationship and rarely are singular events, but arise from a series of circumstances. These events will occur spontaneously and in situations in which will be awkward and socially inappropriate to engage in fully. It ultimately will be a huge mistake not to take this up. It will be a judgment call as to when to do so based upon the nature and maturity of your relationship, but keep in mind that too often much is lost in the delay. At the very least throwing in a ‘flag’ of acknowledgement of displeasure ‘Babe, we’re going to need to discuss this in private later…’ calls not only attention to it appropriately, without getting into it at that moment, but serves as a call back to when you do discuss it.
1st Time-it’s just an event, a onetime occurrence.
2nd Time– has now become a pattern as its repeated and tacit approval was given on the first one.
3rd Time– it’s now case-law for your relationship and the pattern has been accepted.
People need to feel safe. As a man your job it to create that safety and protection, which means you respect them as an individual and you share mutual purpose. Ultimately it’s about the relationship, not the behavior. You can get past what happened, but not what this does to the relationship and respecting yourself through your boundaries. Make sure she realizes that you are trying to protect and secure the relationship. Describe the broken promise, the gap in expectations, or affronting behavior. Ask open-ended questions; ‘why do you think it’s OK to do/act/behave/say etc.. that?’ ‘Is this how you value and respect me/our relationship in doing so?’ ‘How am I suppose to feel/take it etc, when you do “X”?’ Work jointly to discover the underlying reasons for the broken promises, violated expectations and bad behavior. Does your partner have the tools, skills needed to communicate an underlying issue? If not be willing to work together on developing them. This is about developing healthy relationship, not just changing behavior.
After the confrontation reaffirm your value of them and their role within the relationship, but check for their commitment and agreement to change. You might be surprised at what you’ll hear… and yes, this in itself is a promise that’s meant to be kept.
Critical confrontations are the essence of accountability, and the foundation to highly functioning relationships. It will lend credibility to you as a man and fortify your brand, whose integrity, intent, capabilities and results can be trusted and respected.

John 8:11 instructs, “Go now, and leave your life of sin.” This verse comes from the story of the adulterous woman in John 8:1-11 who was about to be stoned by a mob. Of course, the only man who was “without sin” (John 8:7) and could rightfully throw the first stone instead, stooped in the presence of the accusers and “started to write on the ground with his finger” (John 8:6).
It is a peculiar scene of divine irony as the “firstborn over all creation” (Colossians 1:15) fingers the dust mindful of the sixth day of creation when Adam was formed. That day was gone, here He was “bent down” (John 8:6), while sinners stood over Him. Even in this lowly state, He triumphed. No stone was thrown.
He tells the woman to depart immediately and permanently from her sinful life. He knew how quickly this moment would pass from her mind and heart. She had been given life in the midst of pending death. Her reprieve turned her towards God. She felt the euphoria of salvation but any delay in leaving her old life would result in returning to spiritual darkness.
All of us are caught in sin at one time or another and Christ steps in. When Christ shines His light and life into our hearts we experience the elation of salvation. But the great tragedy of sin is that our moments with God fade and are soon forgotten. Mindlessly we return to our old life.
When Christ prompts us to “leave your life of sin” (John 8:11), do not tarry, by all means, GO!
Prayer Request: Post Your Own "Go... Now! - Tuesday, December 11, 2018"

Want to become more Christlike in your daily life?
Best-selling, father-daughter authors Dunnam and Reisman will help you do that through this 8-week study.
"When we wrote our previous workbook on the 10 Commandments, we intended to add a workbook on the Beatitudes," said Dunnam and Reisman. "The 10 Commandments from Mount Sinai and the Beatitudes from the mount in Capernaum combine to provide a way to be, to walk, and to relate. They offer critical values and principles to guide our every decision."
While the 10 Commandments bear the notion of terrible judgment and what not to do, the Beatitudes offer promise and blessedness to the humblest, the weakest, the weariest. Jesus' masterpiece sermon is the blueprint for Christlike living.
Journey to the slopes above Capernaum where Jesus delivered history's greatest, most sublime sermon. Be challenged to view the Beatitudes not just as a code of conduct to obey but as ethics of grace leading to kingdom living.
Live the lifestyle of the new creation by adopting the true "Jesus way" of life!

We have pushed another Cocoon update to the cloud with some bugfixes and new features, check them out.
Here at Ludei we try to review and stay in touch with many (if not all) of the developers in our community. We are always amazed by the quality of products that you guys publish and try to provide the best feedback and listen to all your needs in order to improve the platform.
Today, we want to focus on a very interesting project we knew about some time ago as it was a successfully backed KickStarter project that looked amazing and was highly anticipated: Elliot Quest. We have been in touch with the mind behind the project (Luis Zuno) and we are happy to announce that the OUYA version of the game has been published powered by CocoonJS’ Canvas+ technology. In this case the game was developed using ImpactJS, one of the many game development engines Canvas+ supports. The game is also available on Steam now and there is a WiiU version coming out soon.
Luis has been really kind to write some words about his project and the process of using CocoonJS.
“Since I started working on Elliot Quest, I always wanted to have the possibility to publish my game on a platform such as OUYA, but due to the limitations of the default HTML5 runtimes it was nearly impossible. I was getting 16FPS and the game was unplayable.
Fortunately I found CocoonJS and it’s Canvas+ technology and my wishes became a reality! The performance is simply awesome, the framerate is stable and it supports the gamepad API with the same HTML5 standard API. It is fully compatible with ImpactJS and as a developer it was a relief to find the CocoonJS cloud compiler service. Compiling the game and testing it on the console was a delight and the support team helped me during the whole process.
We want to applaud the great work behind Elliot Quest and all of the projects that are being published using CocoonJS. Thank you very much everyone, you are the reason why CocoonJS exists and hope to see more great products published in the future!
If you have an interesting project, do not hesitate to let us know about it. We will try to periodically write posts about interesting apps published using CocoonJS.

What does comfort mean to you? It might be a favourite sweater, an old family recipe or a perfect cup of tea. For us, it’s all about capturing warm and cozy flavours – like this sweet and spicy blend of apple, figs and chai spices. Laced with cinnamon and star anise, it brings back memories of apple picking, piping hot cider and fresh-from-the-oven pies. Basically, it’s like a hug in a cup. And whether you pair it with a good book or some great company, we guarantee it’s as comforting as it gets.
Okay, I literally can’t even finish this one. It’s so overpoweringly, cloyingly sweet and the star anise is incredibly strong.
I like star anise, but dayum!
I’m not sure why it’s so sweet, maybe it’s from the dried fig…?
In any case, this is a no.
I would say yes, but I’m generally not a huge fan of their teas so I’m biased. I would much rather have Lupicia, which is a similar price point.
Wintry, weakly-flavored, cinnamon spice but not too much apple.
This one was a miss for me. It’s basically a cinnamon-flavored tisane with hints of clove and apple. Considering how many chunks of dried apple were in the blend, I was hoping for more apple flavor.
Day 21 of the 2016 advent calendar! I am a huge fan of apples with warm spices so I am very excited to try this tea. In my sampler I actually got a BIG piece of dried apple which is a nice bonus. As for the smell, it is very heavy on the spices as you might expect, with the dominant notes being cinnamon and clove. It’s very Christmas-y so that’s nice at least.
The steeped aroma is basically the same as the dry leaf, but a bit more mellow. The color itself looks like apple juice too funnily enough. The taste is a lot less spice-heavy than I was thinking it would be, in fact the flavor is almost underwhelming. To be honest the taste of the clove is… the highlight that I’m getting. I am disappointed that there isn’t much apple going on in this tea, but there are many alternatives so I’m not THAT disappointed.
Overall, this tea is… a miss for me. Despite having lots of apple in my sample it just got drowned out by spices rather than highlighted by them. I’ll just stick with some of David’s other and better apple teas I think.
Got this from the ‘christmas treats’ sampler. I didn’t think I’d like it but brewed it anyway just so I could say I gave it a fair chance, but much to my surprise I liked it. I didn’t love it, and I probably won’t be buying it, but it was ok. It does smell just like the Green Apple Jolly Rancher candy, but doesn’t taste as strong.
First brew tasted way too strongly of cinnamon. Second with some maple syrup was better.
I started an account on Steepster simply to say that this tea smells exactly like Fireball Whiskey. The taste is a bit less Firebally but the comparison still applies. I don’t know if this is a good or bad thing.
This is an alright apple tea. It’s very spicy tasting of course. Not my favourite apple tea but this is still good and great for the Fall season. Only downside is how bulky it is, and its tendency to be waay too strong if oversteeped.
Pretty good! In fall I like brewing my own shortcut apple cider, with juice and spices. The problem is that the sugar content from juice adds up pretty quick. So I was pleasantly surprised when I tried this tea and got a very nice similar flavor from it. Like mild watered down (but calorie free!) apple cider. I quickly returned to buy more. Since its a fruity herbal tea, it always takes a lot more to make each cup and so its not as good value for money, and it also takes a lot more time to steep to get the flavors out of the fruit pieces – so its not something I make when Im in a hurry but the end result is quite nice nevertheless.
I have realized that you cannot measure Davidstea mixes with the huge pieces of fruits or spices like you would tea. Instead I try to make sure I have a good mixture of the different components, by eye.
The first steeping was 5 minutes and had a wonderful spiced flavor, the apple was the third flavor. But it was very tasty. The second steeping retained the spices flavor but the apple and fig became much weaker. I think that both steepings are recommended.

The competitive PC gaming world is based as much on talent and skill as it is on system performance.
Having the best and newest equipment in your gaming PC is the easiest step to improving the performance of your system when playing the newest system-intensive games. However, many gamers forget that optimizing the operating system and applications that run on the same rig can provide just as much of a performance boost. Here are five quick tweaks to improve the performance of your gaming PC.
For this tweak, you will need to prune away or turn off all of the obsolete and redundant applications that run on your system. First, uninstall all programs from your system that you never use and that are not essential. Many store-bought gaming rigs come installed with trial-version software that most users will never use and each of these can be removed. Next, adjust the programs that inhabit your system tray. Many of these applications are found in your start-up folder or are designed to run quietly through the boot up procedure. Use "msconfig" to find the annoying applications and remove the option to start with Windows. In the case of applications that are used regularly when not gaming, just manually disable or turn them off from the system tray when it is time to game.
This tweak is almost self-explanatory. All good gaming systems use excellent video cards and these pieces of hardware have their drivers updated on a regular basis. Many of the upgrades are specifically for new games that attempt to use the most cutting-edge features. These driver upgrades also increase system performance and render quality for existing games and systems. Go to the company site of your particular video card, search for the most current driver, and follow their instructions for installation. Make sure to choose a clean installation if the option is available to you during install.
Most people use their gaming PC for more than just playing the latest and greatest games. A gaming PC can become quite the repository for memes, downloads, media, and general trash. As your disk drive performance suffers as it becomes full. This is not to say that 500GB of a 1TB drive will cause a new game to suffer performance issues, but if you have less than 10% free on your drive there can be issues. To clear up space, start removing old media and files to a back-up or secondary drive. Try to make sure that the drive you store your games on is as clutter free as possible. Next, run the Windows application "Disk Cleanup." The application will allow you to remove old Windows update files and temporary files that hide in plain sight within a system.
Now that you have removed all the unwanted files from your computer, defragment your drive. Defragmentation will take the files stored on your Hard Disk Drive and reorganize them into neater blocks. Not all files, when installed on a drive, will be written onto the drive in the same place. This can lead to increased read and write times for your disk drive as it searches for information. After the defrag has been run on a fragmented drive, the applications that can be moved will be reorganized and hopefully increase the drives performance.
These days everyone has to be safe when using web-connected systems. This is doubly true for online gamers. Unfortunately, a good antivirus program will diminish system performance while playing the latest games. Luckily, there are options available besides turning off your security (which we do not recommend). Many new antivirus programs now come with a gaming mode. This mode allows for increased performance while playing games without sacrificing security online. Make sure that a gaming mode is available on your antivirus or download a new program that offers it.

The Internet of Things (IoT) offers enhanced technology capabilities in diverse industries. In the health care setting, IoT will bring new connected medical devices that support near real-time monitoring of patient health information. In the transportation industry, connected vehicles will communicate securely with each other and with the environment surrounding them, offering safer commutes. In the Utility industry, energy consumption will be regulated more efficiently which will reduce the risk of grid overload.
These are only a small set of examples that illustrate how the IoT will change the way we all interact with technology and with each other. Implementations of IoT vary greatly in the protocols that are used for communications and the security controls applied to their design. Examples range from devices that communicate using short range communications with smart phones, to entertainment components that are always connected to the Internet over your home’s wifi connection, to systems that communicate using proprietary protocols like ZWave. Many device types also communicate directly with each other (Machine-to-Machine). In some instances these communications are conducted over encrypted channels and in other instances that is not the case.
Organizations looking to deploy IoT components within their infrastructure must be aware of the threats that are introduced along with those components and take proactive actions to mitigate those threats through a careful consideration of their Enterprise security architecture. This talk will examine some of the challenges facing early adopters of the IoT which will be a focus of our first CSA document, providing industry guidance to help mitigate IoT Security Challenges for Early Adopters.

Red Hawk Casino offers players Northern California's lowest side bet for a chance to win a table progressive. The $1 side bet is available on Fortune Pai Gow Poker, Let It Ride, Four Card Poker, Three Card Poker and Ultimate Texas Hold' em. The small side bet resulted in three lucky progressive jackpot winners April 26, April 27 and April 29.
On Thursday, April 26, Susan from Stockton, Calif., headed to Red Hawk Casino for her regular charter bus trip to Red Hawk Casino. Susan enjoys playing a variety of table games at Red Hawk and has a great time during her visits. She sat down to play Three Card poker and always places the small $1 side bet. She was thrilled when she was dealt an ace, king and queen of spades for the 100% progressive jackpot payout of $7,921. Susan plans to add some of her winnings to her savings.
The following day, Friday, April 27, Lisa from Citrus Heights, Calif., signed up for a Red Hawk Rewards Club card and sat down to play Fortune Pai Gow Poker. She had not been playing for long when she was dealt five aces. Because she placed the $1 side bet, Lisa won the $11,412 progressive jackpot. Lisa said she always places the small side-bet in order to qualify for the progressive jackpot while she's playing.
That same weekend, Sunday, April 29, another lucky Rewards Club member took home a Fortune Pai Gow Progressive jackpot. Mike from Citrus Heights, Calif., had been playing for just a short time when he was dealt five aces for a progressive jackpot of $12,814.
As of Monday, April 30, 2012 the shared progressive jackpot for Four Card Poker, Let It Ride and Ultimate Texas Hold �em is $84,034, Three Card poker is $2,100, and the Fortune Pai Gow Poker progressive is $80,340.
