As a century-old home was being readied for extensive updating – both inside and out – by Carey Bros. Remodeling, a second partner in the project — DPG Design — was focused on the exterior landscaping that would add a finishing touch of greenery and color.
The home, located at 604 Second Street in Brentwood, California, is a modest, catalog design mail-order kit home that was among 600 or so small houses constructed in a nearby mining community in the early 1900s. It was later moved intact to its current location at the corner of Second and Chestnut Streets.
While the physical home required a great deal of planning and effort for its restoration, the project also included a full and carefully planned replacement of all landscaping and hardscape for the lot that surrounded the house.
A key elements in authentically renovating and updating a historic 111-year-old bungalow, such as this, was to carefully “complete” the overall picture by selecting the just right mix of trees, plants and shrubs that would best accent the project and add visual appeal to the exterior surroundings without overwhelming or altering the vintage feel of the setting.
As Carey Bros. Remodeling began developing the multi-faceted and complex construction aspects, they partnered with award-winning DPG Design – headed by Dave and Susie Garcia – who went to work as well, totally planning and coordinating every step of the exterior landscaping… for everything from the lot line up to the house.
Pompei Nursery then proposed a carefully blended traditional style landscape array for the 111-year old home that took both the age and history of the home into consideration.
In the days that followed, one after another of the one and five-gallon plants and trees were perfectly positioned around the property… so as to artfully grow and mature into the space… and that, over time, would not appear “over” planted.

This will show you how to turn a regular canon digital rebel into a 10d.
Just with a simple firmware update in under 5 minutes.
The Canon EOS Digital Rebel is very similar to the Canon EOS 10D ( EXACT same sensor), but lacks many of the functions found in the more expencive 10D, like flash exposure compensation, mirror lock up, ISO 3200 speed setting etc ect ect.
The rebel was first introduced as an entry level dslr, so instead of canon designing a whole new camera, they just took the 10d and blocked off a few of the functions.
you will first need to just plug your CF card into your computer, or in a card reader, Make sure the card is blank, then its as simple as drag and dropping your new custom firmware file to the card.
once inserted your camera screen will display something asking if you wish to install, click yes.
Some magic happens, and then if you look for a listing in your menu settings "custom functions" you will have all the tools of the 10d. Bring life into an old camera, It may be outdated but this camera is capable of anything in the right hands. I started with this model and ended up doing photography professionally later in my life.
Magic Lantern (http://www.magiclantern.fm/) might also be something to mention in this instructable. It adds many features mainly for video recording that were never present in any of canons cameras.

A lecturer in the mathematics department of the University of Ibadan has allegedly taken his life after a fruitless effort to secure a doctor of philosophy (PhD) degree.
A staff of the university disclosed that the deceased was suspected to have set his apartment located at Senior Staff Quarters, Phillipson Road, inside the university, on fire before drinking poisonous substance. “His room was the only part not engulfed in the fire… there were no fire burns on his body but there’s a possibility that he might have poisoned himself and set the house on fire so it would seem like an accident,” the official, who did not want to be named, said.
Another source said he choked to death during a fire outbreak in his apartment. He was said to have suffered from depression before his demise, fuelling speculations that he might have taken his own life.
The lecturer, described as the “most brilliant” in the department, was said to have been on his PhD for 22 years without confirmation. He reportedly resigned from the department in 2018 but the head of department allegedly did not process his resignation.
The source said: “That led to psychological issues and he transferred it to his family. Before then, he would lock himself inside his office and will not allow anybody to enter.
It was also reported that the late university lecturer, a father of three, had separated from his family and had challenges progressing on his career.
Confirming the incident, the chairman Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Professor Deji Omole, was quoted as declaring that the incident was pathetic and a major loss to the Union.

Escape rooms are a fantastic way to test your puzzle solving and critical thinking skills. If crafted correctly, they can be engaging, entertaining challenges. If done poorly, they can either be too easy or become infuriatingly difficult. I’ve done a few escape rooms myself, with two of them being nearly successful escapes and one having some tasks that were unfairly designed. Dying Reborn takes the escape room formula and lands closer to the poorly designed end of the spectrum. It looked like it had some promise, but it unfortunately didn’t deliver.
Dying Reborn puts you in the shoes of Matthew, an officer who has been looking for his missing sister Shirley. One day he gets a mysterious letter claiming that she’s at The Last Harbour, so he makes his way there in hopes of finding her. Matthew quickly gets kidnapped and wakes up in a prison-like room. As he struggles to discover a way out of his perilous situation, he ends up delving deeper into this twisted prison.
The story itself sounds cool and interesting at first, but as you progress, it starts to come apart. The story is told through dialogue with your kidnapper and in memos that you can find scattered around the game. You can look through your memos at any time by hitting up on the D-pad. I won’t spoil anything, but by the end of the game, I only had a partial idea of why this was happening. Dying Reborn tries to tell its story, but it comes across as more convoluted than it should be. For example, the antagonist talks about things that only potentially make sense if you read through memos. Not looking at the random memos makes things more confusing. As a result, I quickly stopped caring about the narrative, but still attempted to grasp what I could from it.
The gameplay is a combination of a walking simulator and a point-and-click game. You walk around the rooms and investigate anything and everything that you can interact with. There are plenty of objects that only trigger description text and nothing else though. In order to solve puzzles, you’ll need to pick up items to use, read notes for clues, and discover hidden codes. Some items can be used as is, while others need to be combined with other items in order to be useful. One such example is the head of a screwdriver and the handle.
As mentioned earlier, the difficulty and design of an escape room can make or break it. The design of Dying Reborn is definitely a mixed bag. The creepy, ominous setting of the game makes you feel trapped and a bit uncomfortable. Each room has its own feel and style to it, which is a plus. I give the developers props for adding some variety, although the puzzle-solving bogs it down. I have nothing against racking my brain for some clever puzzles, but this game pushes the limits too much. For example, in order to find one code, you get several phrases that you must use to figure out where to look for each number. While there were a fair number of puzzles that filled me with pride upon solving, there were a great deal more that annoyed me. A good deal of puzzles were needlessly obscure and made me want to solve them just to be done with them. Codes for locks and doors are easily the most tedious part of the game. You never want a game like this to push you to the point of trudging through it just so you can end it.
It doesn’t help when the dialogue can get rough and the game includes no voice acting. This means that the only sounds are you walking, interacting with objects, and the weird ambient music. With the amount of dialogue that’s present in the game, it could’ve helped to hear some voices. Instead, you must read everything and determine each character’s tone based off of that and the situation.
Dying Reborn doesn’t take very long at all, although the obscure puzzles will stretch that playtime. It took me around two hours to finish the game, with a great deal of that time being spent examining every little thing in the hopes of progressing. Normally that short playtime would be a downside, but I don’t think I’d want to spend any more time with this game than I already have. The game could’ve had potential, but the annoyingly obscure puzzles and lack of interesting story drag it down immensely. In the end, you’re better off avoiding Dying Reborn unless you want to ruin your opinion of escape rooms.

The concepts of gender, love, and family - as well as the personal choices regarding gender-role construction, sexual and romantic liaisons, and family formation - have become more fluid under a society-wide softening of boundaries, hierarchies, and protocols. Sylvia Barack Fishman gathers the work of social historians and legal scholars who study transformations in the intimate realms of partnering and family construction among Jews. Following a substantive introduction, the volume casts a broad net. Chapters explore the current situation in both the United States and Israel, attending to what once were considered unconventional household arrangements - including extended singlehood, cohabitating couples, single Jewish mothers, and GLBTQ families - along with the legal ramifications and religious backlash. Together, these essays demonstrate how changes in the understanding of male and female roles and expectations over the past few decades have contributed to a social revolution with profound - and paradoxical - effects on partnering, marriage, and family formation. This diverse anthology - with chapters focusing on demography, ethnography, and legal texts - will interest scholars and students in Jewish studies, women's and gender studies, Israel studies, and American Jewish history, sociology, and culture.
English summary: This provocative book has been gaining acclaim and stirring controversy for its bold reinterpretation of the relationship between Judaism and Christianity, especially in medieval Europe: not a relationship of mother and daughter but rather of two sisters - both deriving from the religion of ancient Israel. German description: Die kuhne Deutung der judisch-christlichen Beziehung als einer geschwisterlichen hat weltweit Kontroversen ausgelost. Zahlreiche Quellen erweisen die polemische Auseinandersetzung zwischen Judentum und Christentum als formativ fur die Herausbildung der beiden Religionen. Yuval untersucht die Entstehung des Pessach-Festes sowie die quasi-rituelle Totung von judischen Kindern durch ihre Eltern bei den Judenverfolgungen 1096 und beobachtet, wie Christen das judische Verhalten wahrnahmen. Er schlieat mit dem Milleniumjahr 1240, als Juden den Anbruch der endzeitlichen Erlosung erwarteten. Diese Schlusselmomente zeigen, dass der christliche Einfluss auf das mittelalterliche Judentum weitaus groaer war, als bislang angenommen und dass die Zuruckweisung des Christentums bei der Herausbildung judischer Identitat eine zentrale Rolle spielte.

Through working in multidisciplinary teams, interacting with daily commuters, and using innovative ideation methods, the participants were introduced to a new way of problem solving and this further led these individuals to go back and champion Design Thinking in their own organizations.
TinkerLabs in its formative months hosted its first open enrollment program for professionals, enabling them to learn and experience the entire process of Design Thinking. The participants were primarily from Mumbai; hence, it was imperative to choose a theme which everyone could relate to. What is common across the city? What brings people together? With questions like these in mind, we were led to the Mumbai Local Railway – an iconic aspect of the Mumbai city which everyone has either experienced or heard about. Hence, the theme of the workshop was set: Innovating the Mumbai Local Experience.
To our utter surprise, news of this workshop reached the Ministry of Railways who immediately reached out to us stating their full support for this initiative. We now had an exceptional team of 20+ professionals from different organizations along with senior railway officials from operations, PR, maintenance, et al.
Professionals from varied backgrounds and companies participated like HUL, Hansa Research, Consultants from Water & Sanitation (CDD), Central & Western railway officials, digital media, technology, etc. Hence, the participants got an opportunity to work in multidisciplinary teams to understand the railway ecosystem, identify problems and solve them innovatively.
The teams set off on a journey to visit 3 railway stations in Southern Mumbai, to interact with the users on field. They went out to understand peoples’ experiences with daily commute and observed the commuters and their behaviors at these train stations. Teams came back with a lot of interesting insights like- difficulty in boarding the trains in rush hours, under-utilization of ATVMs, overcrowding on staircases and FOBs, lack of aesthetic ambiance on the platforms, usability and maintenance of platform toilets. Some of these did sound trivial but that's the reality at the user’s end, solving which leads to a smooth commute experience for the user.
We encouraged the teams to go wild and explore ideas not bothering about what is feasible for a while. With different kinds of ideas prototyped and executed in the form models and roleplays; the teams went back on the field and tested them with the users. The feedbacks from the users helped the participants realize, how important is it to be user centric. At all stages, officials from the railway ministry graciously supported the exercises sometimes as participants, other times as experts.
Through the workshop we could identify many latent needs that can enhance the commuter journey. We closed the workshop with actionable and implementable innovative solutions. Every single participant gathered the learnings and was excited to apply them at their own workplaces.
Overall it was a weekend well spent, where professionals from diverse backgrounds came together to enhance the user experience of the busiest rapid transit system in the world, a network that connects over 7.5 million commuters on a daily basis, the city’s lifeline – The Mumbai Local.
The senior railway officials created models, processes and new job roles for their team members to become design thinkers.
The senior railway officials who believed that they have been doing it since years, they know it all; came on the ground with us to find out what the commuters feel/like/dislike/want. The realization of connecting with their users was experienced and felt valuable.
“My entire admin team now wears double hats as design thinkers and goes out regularly on the field to understand how to better the commute experience.” Mr. Sharat Chandrayan, CPRO, Western Railways.

MIAMI – An exhibit displaying an array of objects that belonged to late Cuban singer Celia Cruz opened on Thursday at Miami’s American Museum of the Cuban Diaspora.
“This year will mark the 15th anniversary of Celia’s death, and what better city than Miami to commemorate it, even though she never lived here,” the curator of “Forever Celia,” Omer Pardillo, told EFE.
A score of dresses and pairs of shoes, close to as many wigs and a myriad of documents – including the passport Celia used to leave Cuba, where she never returned – as well as a variety of trophies, Grammy Awards, never-before-seen photographs and records, are some of the items gracing Pardillo’s collection.
“Celia is always on the table, but we had never been able to gather so many of her personal effects for public display before,” said Pardillo, who met Celia in New Jersey at the age of 14 and went on to become her manager.
Pardillo was compelled to travel around the world purchasing an assortment of objects that had belonged to his dear friend from private collectors, including the singer’s first passport to travel to Venezuela in 1948.
The show – which enjoyed great success in 2005 at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History – also includes the singer’s office, as well as an “interactive” dressing room.
Visitors will also get a chance to catch a glimpse of her legendary performance of “Guantanamera” during a trip to Zaire in 1974 on the sidelines of an epic match between reigning champion George Foreman and Muhammad Ali.

Though the technique for both styles is similar, International Standard dances (Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango, Quickstep, and Viennese Waltz) are only danced in a closed position, while the American Smooth dances (Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango and Viennese Waltz) may be danced in an open or closed position, allowing for more freedom and expression. The International Standard dances also start out at a much more challenging level, focusing on difficult techniques much sooner than do their American Smooth counterparts.
The word "waltz" comes from the old German word "walzen" meaning to roll, turn, or to glide. Reportedly, the first time the waltz was danced in the United States was in Boston in 1834, and was the first dance to use the closed position for any extended period of time.
Waltz dancers held each other so close that their bodies touched while they danced – and because of this it was subjected to severe criticism and condemnation by both civic and church authorities. In many areas, the waltz was banned from public ballrooms for many years; however the overwhelming popularity of the waltz eventually overcame the protests and restrictions placed on it.
The waltz's closed face-to-face position is now the standard for ballroom dancing and has been used in the majority of dances developed since that era. Some examples of waltz-inspiring music are "Come Away with Me" by Nora Jones, "If I Ain't Got You" by Alicia Keys, "Body and Soul" by Anita Baker, and "Time in a Bottle" by Jim Croce.
Ballroom tango, divided in recent decades into the "International" (English) and "American" styles, is descended from the styles that developed when the tango first went abroad to Europe and America. The dance was simplified and adapted to the preferences of conventional ballroom dancers. Staccato, rather than gliding moves, is the hallmark of the American Tango, along with the characteristic "head snaps" not used in the Argentinean version.
Examples of great American Tango music are: "El Choctlo" (The Kiss of Fire) by Juan D'Arienzo and "La Cumparsita" by Julio Iglesias.
Foxtrot takes its name from its inventor, vaudeville actor Harry Fox. According to legend, Fox was unable to find female dancers capable of performing the more challenging two-step moves. As a result, he added stagger steps (two trots), creating the basic foxtrot rhythm, slow-slow-quick-quick.
In 1914, when the dance debuted it caught the eye of the talented husband and wife duo of Vernon and Irene Castle, who lent the dance its signature grace and style.
At its inception, the Foxtrot was originally danced to ragtime. Today, the dance is customarily accompanied by the same big band era music to which swing is also danced. Songs from such luminaries as Frank Sinatra ("Fly Me to the Moon") or Count Basie ("From Russia with Love") are great examples of the type of music one might dance the Foxtrot to. Also try "Horse with No Name" by America, "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz, and "Bubbly" by Colbie Caillat.
The Quickstep is an International Standard ballroom dance similar to a fast Foxtrot, however its technique and patterns are unique to itself.
Quickstep evolved in the 1920s as bands started to play music which was too quick for the Foxtrot. Derived from a combination of the Foxtrot and the Charleston, Quickstep gradually evolved into a very dynamic dance with a lot of movement on the dance floor.
The modern Quickstep still retains many figures reminiscent of the original Foxtrot, but also incorporates fast footwork in hops, runs, skips, with a lot of momentum and rotation. Quite in contrast to other ballroom dances, the Quickstep often has patterns or sequences that span multiple measures. The whole character of the Quickstep invites a carefree expression of rhythm.
Recognizable songs you can dance Quickstep to include "Sing, Sing, Sing" and "In the Mood".
What is now called the Viennese Waltz is the original form of waltz. It was the first ballroom dance performed in the closed hold or "waltz" position. The style is a rotary dance where the dancers are constantly turning either toward the leader's right ("natural") or toward the leader's left ("reverse"). In a traditional Viennese Waltz, couples do not pass, but turn continuously left and right while travelling counterclockwise around the floor following each other.
Any Strauss waltz would be ideal for dancing the Viennese Waltz. Also try "Annie's Song" by John Denver, "I Want to Give Up" by Jason Mraz, and "You're My Number One" by Enrique Iglesias.

This study is one of the first studies to fully address the relationship that business-to-business buyers have with both the selling firm and salesperson within an integrated model. Finding from this survey research support 14 of the 26 original hypotheses and the 2 additional linkages using structural equation modeling. This study finds that the relationship customers have with the selling firm is a stronger predictor of continuance than the relationship that the buyer has with the salesperson. While this relationship is stronger between the buyer and the selling firm, findings suggest that the salesperson can have a direct negative impact on the relationship if conflict is present. Overall, this study provides a framework for future research on the topic of business-to-business buyer-selling firm and buyer-salesperson relationships.

Okay so that isn’t the most realistic situation, so I always try to add some logic to the equation to prioritize my purchases.

The fourth fixture in the Gwent League Cross Country calendar and it was on home territory for me. Just a short distance away from my home, the Glebelands was the location for what should be a flat and fast race.
The senior men traditionally race at the end of the day which means that hundreds of runners have done their best to churn up the mud and grass. Combined with rain in the week and runners of all ages participating there was a real possibility that the fixture may be called off.
Billed as being a flat fixture, and it certainly was, I would have traded a good hill or two for some of that mud! Very quickly into the race we were given a taster of what was to come.
An extended section of deep, thick mud early in the course was impossible to avoid and proved difficult to wade through but I quickly learnt that sprinting through it was the most effective way of conquering it although no sooner had you exited the quagmire you were presented with yet another even muddier and waterlogged section.
Thankfully the terrain improved significantly enter a wooded section but alas it was short-lived and you were back to slipping and sliding on mud. I’ve no idea how the elites get through mud so quickly!
Heading back along the river towards the start a tarmac section provided a welcome relief from the mud and an opportunity to pick up the pace. The course followed the perimeter of the park until it was parallel with the finish line.
After watching the ladies race earlier in the day, and one of the frontrunners being treated for exhaustion at the finish line, it was going to be difficult to decide at which point you have to start sprinting for the finish in order to beat opposition clubs and get those points. There was a similar finish at my first cross country fixture in Bridgend in 2016 and managed to time the sprint just right although I almost threw up running into the funnel.
This was a three lap race so whilst each lap was equally as difficult, you were given a few more attempts at finding the quickest route through the mud. Despite my best efforts the best tactic was to just plough on through it.
Despite the legs feeling really heavy wading through the mud I was pleased that I maintained a consistent pace throughout all three laps and as a bonus managed to pip one of the enemy (North Somerset) near the finish line.
Last week’s Gwent Leisure Centre League fixture in Usk was a tough race that was also extremely muddy in parts but you were given respite when passing through some of the fields and despite the steepness of the terrain in places, it offered a little variety. The mud at the Glebelands was relentless and energy-sapping and the only variety you were given was the odd tarmac path and a view of the muddy River Usk.

Lie supine on bench. Place hands under lower buttock on each side to support pelvis.
Raise legs by flexing hips and knees until thighs are completely flexed. Return until hips and knees are extended. Repeat.
Rectus Abdominis and Obliques only contract dynamically if actual waist flexion occurs. With no waist flexion, Rectus Abdominis and External Oblique will only act to stabilize pelvis and waist during hip flexion. It may be necessary to completely flex hips before waist flexion is possible, as in leg-hip raise. Also see Spot Reduction Myth and Lower Ab Myth.
To decrease intensity, perform exercise on floor and allow heels to make contact with floor each repetition.
Perform on incline board or perform with knees straight to increase resistance. Knees can also be raised to shoulders to dynamically involve Rectus Abdominis. Exercise can also be performed with added weight.

Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai, Makhdoom Bilawal and Sachal Sarmast were noted disciples of his. Called Lal (red) after his usual red attire, Shahbaz to denote a noble and divine spirit and Qalandar for his Sufi affiliation, his mysticism attracted people from all religions and he preached brotherhood among Muslims and Hindus. Thousands of pilgrims visit his shrine in Sehwan every year on the anniversary of his death.Hazrat Lal Shahbaz Qalandar, son of Habc(Ibrahim Mujaab), was born in Marwand. to a dervish, Syed Ibrahim Kabiruddin His ancestors had migrated from Baghdad and settled in Mashhad, before moving again to Marwand.
He lived when the Ghaznavid and Ghurids ruled in South Asia. A contemporary of Rumi, he travelled around the Muslim world and settled in Sehwan where he was eventually buried. There is evidence of his presence in Sindh in 1196 when he met Pir Haji Ismail Panhwar of Paat and he is believed to have arrived in Sehwan around 1251. There he established a meeting house (khanqah), taught in the Fuqhai Islam Madarrsah and wrote his treatises Mizan-us-Surf, Kism-e-Doyum, Aqd and Zubdah. Lal Shahbaz lived a celibate life and died in the year 1274 at the age of 97. In Multan he met Baha-ud-din Zakariya of the Suhrwardiyya, Baba Fariduddin Ganjshakar of the Chishtiyya and Syed Jalaluddin Bukhari. The friendship of these four became legendary, they were known as the Chahar Yar (In Persian "the four friends").
According to some historians the four friends visited various parts of Sindh, Punjab. Shahbaz became a profound scholar of religions, fluent in many languages including Pashto, Persian, Turkish, Arabic, Sindhi and Sanskrit.The shrine around his tomb was built in 1356 and decorated with Sindhi 'kashi-tiles', mirror-work and a gold-plated door donated by the late Shah of Iran, Reza Shah Pahlavi and installed by the late Prime Minister of Pakistan, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. The inner sanctum is about 100 square yards with a silver-canopied grave in the middle, according to Nadeem Wagan, Cutharo silver donated by Sardar Mahboob Ali Khan Wagan (Chief Sardar of Wagan Tribe) on one side of the marble floor is a row of about 12-inch-high (300 mm) folding wooden stands, on which there is a set copies of Quran for devotees to read.
On the other side, beside a bundle of incense, are rows of oil-lamps lighted by devotees. Thousands of devotees visit the tomb particularly every Thursday.Lal Shahbaz's annual Urs (death anniversary celebration), held on the 18 Sha'aban, the eighth month of the Muslim lunar calendar, brings more than half a million pilgrims from all over Pakistan. On each morning of the three-day feast the narrow lanes of Sewhan are packed with pilgrims, fakirs and devotees making their way to the shrine to commune with the saint, offer tributes and make wishes.

Suppose you’ve got four guys to play a semi-pro tournament, or perhaps Riot Games finally figured out Clash and you’re fighting for chests with your friends. Both situations imply the champ select format from pro play, which differs from what you get in ranked modes. Let’s look at what you need to know about drafting.
Keep your side in mind while drafting. As the team on the blue side, you have a slightly easier time delaying with OP characters. Your squad has first pick, so you may intentionally leave one extremely strong champion open to make the opposition choose between using up their ban on a must-ban character or facing that said character.
The red side team gets to wrap up the champ select. This is the window to choose a cheesy or situational champion, because there’s nothing your opponents can do to address the pick. Well, almost nothing.
Flex your pick. I’m not talking about bragging about your champion—just like the first line, this tip is about ambiguity. Depending on what your teammates can play, try opening your draft with a champion that fits several positions. It makes counter picking harder and keeps opponents guessing for the second ban phase.
Flex picks work well for both sides, but are actually vital for the Blue team. Assigning champions in an unpredictable manner is about the only thing they can do to negate a surprising last pick.
Draft towards the strongest teammates, but don’t neglect the weakest. Capitalizing on mismatches is a good shortcut to victory at all levels of play. If your best player is a mid laner, try to give them an edge by picking the champion after the opponents choose theirs.
On the other hand, a good player can win or, at least, hold their own with bad matchups. It’s at their expense that you can secure your friends’ comfort picks.
Zoom in, zoom out. Ideally, you know what strategies your team is good at and can proceed building a composition around the game plan. For example, it’s essential to secure several defensive champions to the protect the ADC strat.
However, sometimes champ selections offers opportunities you simply can’t pass up. If the red side team is bold enough to leave Cassiopeia open, pretty much any pro squad will pick her no matter what.
Don’t get carried away by draft shenanigans. Avoid picking champions your teammates can’t perform with even when they appear to be good counters. When you’re going for a flex pick, make sure that the second-in-line can actually play it. Once again, keep both the general plan and individual champion strength in mind before every move.

Ther has been a lot of changes with regards to metalwork industry. In today’s world, people prefer to use other items such as metal to make any item apart from wood, bine, and stones. As long as you have used metal instead of any other material that you need, you will receive a smarter items. When we talk of metal working, we refer to processing metal to come with any vessel, utensils, and many other durale items. We cannot forget about the sculpture, ornament, weapons and decorative items which are very strong when they are made from metal. One can easily manipulate metal to fit any way that they desire. Architectural metal work makes it easy to create fixtures and fittings of any shape and design as one desires. Steel sheets are best materials to use in making metal fixtures. Without the existence of the steel metal, it would be hard for people to make a lot of items such as automobile parts among others. Aluminum, bronze, and steel are some of the most commonly used metals in the machining services industry.
One can quickly get stainless steel metal from chrome and sleep array. One has an opportunity to use steel in ensuring that they meet their need and at the same time beautify your premise. It is considered to be attractive because of its color. Steel is the best material to use here. It is a requirement that you have the basic skills so that you can make items for your customers. One is supposed to make sure that they are guided by the client describes to them, and consequently they will be in a position to meet their needs. Machining services is comprised of creating spiral staircases, consecutive stairways as well as fire escapes. One will have to offer repair services to their clients whenever their items break up. Qualification is of sense when it comes to hiring someone to make you the metal items that you need.
Craftsmanship is one of the fundamental skills which anyone who deals with metal works is expected to have. Make sure that you can make a metal fence for a client who hires you. In most cases, you will be required to make barriers which are made of aluminum and iron. People prefer this material because they will not need to maintain them often. If the metal gate is made well, then it will easy to mount it in its place. You should make sure to have the necessary equipment to allow you to work efficiently. Equipment used at the metal workshop are very strong.

Despite the rain, Shasta and I managed to get out walking as much as we could. I've taken to walking to whatever I can, which often include Whole Foods (when we don't have a large shopping list), the library, and the local market or restaurants. I'm not in the greatest shape yet, but I've worked up to over 2.5 miles per day on average this month (half of my long-term goal). Though, due to having so many days of rain, I had to do some of my miles indoors—doing Leslie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds exercise videos. Shasta has been my great walker buddy whenever we can make it outdoors.
While we were in Oregon last month, Jeff was given a new board game called Pandemic. It's a pretty cool game where all the players have to cooperate--because all the players win or lose together. Jeff is quite obsessed in figuring out the best way to "win" the game. He has played it a lot this month and has even dragged me into quite a few games. We really need to schedule a game night so he can drag some new folks into his obsession.

A new artist-focused campaign claims that British culture is stronger in Europe than out, with its recently launched website providing a platform for artists to make the case for staying in EU.
A new campaigning group led by artists is calling for an ‘in’ vote in the EU referendum in June.
@artsforeu is led by artist and AIR Council member Joseph Young, Nico Heller of The Democracy School, and artist and writer Dan Thompson.
The group has support from Furtherfield gallery, the curators of Kensington and Chelsea’s InTRANSIT festival and the official endorsement of the national office of CVAN.
The main focus of the campaign is online, with the website www.artsfor.eu acting as a curatorial hub for artists’ works exploring European cultural identity.
Young explains: “We will be offering artists – through an open call – the chance to submit new or existing works that deal with the issue of cultural identity in the broadest possible sense. This might be an image, text, a film, or a piece of music.” Invited artists will each be given a unique login to the site on which to design and present their work.
The group has also posted a Call to Action film, A Declaration for Europe, which is now live on YouTube.

This paper will examine Dr. Kwame Nkrumah Pan African vision as an ideology and a strategy to forge African development. In a recent AU strategy paper, this vision still lingers in the horizon and perhaps seems elusive than it was in the 1960s. Why has pan-Africanism not found resonance in Africa? This is the question this research paper seeks to answer by interrogating Dr. Kwame’s vision, post his death pan-Africanism rendering and an assessment of development ideologies and development paths in post-colonial Africa. Based on preliminary research findings, Pan-Africanism is captive to international organizations, colonial legacies, ethnicity and leadership. The paper will be based on secondary and primary sources housed at Minnesota State University, Mankato and around the United States repositories on Africa. This paper will make a contribution to the growing literature on post-colonial studies, development discourses and governance.

Converts this value into a Rust value of the given type.
Returns a mutable reference to the underlying Rust data wrapped by this value.
Lisp code can pass the same object through 2 different values in an argument list.
Rust code earlier in the call chain may have copied this value.
Rust code later in the call chain may receive a copy of this value.
In general, it is better to wrap Rust data in RefCell, Mutex, or RwLock guards, before moving them to Lisp, and then only access them through these guards (which can be obtained back through into_rust). This method is for squeezing out the last bit of performance in very rare situations.

Urban Design Refinement (with master planner BroadwayMalyan): With the first phase of the island underway, much of the infrastructure in place, and individual plot-sales and development on-going, the team is dismantling an urbanism developed during the UAE’s mega-development boom of the last decade in favor of a regionally responsive and contemporary place-making agenda.
Design Controls: The design controls translate these general concepts into a comprehensive vision by codifying and communicating key standards and requirements. Performance-based guidelines, particular to the local climate and region, generate design responses of unique character. This character is confirmed by the “proof-of-concept” illustrative designs generated for each plot.
Visioning and Graphic Communication: Communication of this design agenda is critical to altering current practices. All illustrative designs and project imaging adheres to the design regulations and standards. In addition to the design controls, the team is overseeing the communication of the island’s vision, including renderings, animations, and associated marketing publications.

The Baron Munchausen was in part the creation of Rudolphe Erich Raspé (1737-1794) who led a life worthy of a tall tale: naturalist, antiquarian, scholar and thief, his name figures with Daniel Defoe and Johnathan Swift as one of the great "travel liars".
It is a curious fact that of that class of literature to which Munchausen belongs, that namely of Voyages Imaginaires, the three great types should have all been created in England. Utopia, Robinson Crusoe, and Gulliver, illustrating respectively the philosophical, the edifying, and the satirical type of fictitious travel, were all written in England, and at the end of the eighteenth century a fourth type, the fantastically mendacious, was evolved in this country. Of this type Munchausen was the modern original, and remains the classical example. The adaptability of such a species of composition to local and topical uses might well be considered prejudicial to its chances of obtaining a permanent place in literature. Yet Munchausen has undoubtedly achieved such a place. The Baron's notoriety is universal, his character proverbial, and his name as familiar as that of Mr. Lemuel Gulliver, or Robinson Crusoe, mariner, of York. Condemned by the learned, like some other masterpieces, as worthless, Munchausen's travels have obtained such a world-wide fame, that the story of their origin possesses a general and historic interest apart from whatever of obscurity or of curiosity it may have to recommend it.
The work first appeared in London in the course of the year 1785. No copy of the first edition appears to be accessible; it seems, however, to have been issued some time in the autumn, and in the Critical Review for December 1785 there is the following notice: "Baron Munchausen's Narrative of his Marvellous Travels and Campaigns in Russia. Small 8vo, IS. (Smith). This is a satirical production calculated to throw ridicule on the bold assertions of some parliamentary declaimers. If rant may be best foiled at its own weapons, the author's design is not ill-founded; for the marvellous has never been carried to a more whimsical and ludicrous extent." The reviewer had probably read the work through from one paper cover to the other. It was in fact too short to bore the most blasé of his kind, consisting of but forty-nine small octavo pages. The second edition, which is in the British Museum, bears the following title; "Baron Munchausen's Narrative of his Marvellous Travels and Campaigns in Russia; humbly dedicated and recommended to country gentlemen, and if they please to be repeated as their own after a hunt, at horse races, in watering places, and other such polite assemblies; round the bottle and fireside. Smith. Printed at Oxford. 1786." The fact that this little pamphlet again consists of but forty-nine small octavo pages, combined with the similarity of title (as far as that of the first edition is given in the Critical Review), publisher, and price, affords a strong presumption that it was identical with the first edition. This edition contains only chapters ii., iii., iv., v., and vi. (pp. 10-44) of the present reprint. These chapters are the best in the book and their substantial if peculiar merit can hardly be denied, but the pamphlet appears to have met with little success, and early in 1786 Smith seems to have sold the property to another bookseller, Kearsley. Kearsley had it enlarged, but not, we are expressly informed, in the preface to the seventh edition, by the hand of the original author (who happened to be in Cornwall at the time). He also had it illustrated and brought it out in the same year in book form at the enhanced price of two shillings, under the title: "Gulliver Reviv'd: The Singular Travels, Campaigns, Voyages and Sporting Adventures of Baron Munnikhouson commonly pronounced Munchausen; as he relates them over a bottle when surrounded by his friends. A new edition considerably enlarged with views from the Baron's drawings. London. 1786." A well-informed Critical Reviewer would have amended the title thus: "Lucian reviv'd: or Gulliver Beat with his own Bow."
Four editions now succeeded each other with rapidity and without modification. A German translation appeared in 1786 with the imprint London: it was, however, in reality printed by Dieterich at Göttingen. It was a free rendering of the fifth edition, the preface being a clumsy combination of that prefixed to the original edition with that which Kearsley had added to the third.
The fifth edition (which is, with the exception of trifling differences on the title-page, identical with the third, fourth, and sixth) is also that which has been followed in the present reprint down to the conclusion of chapter twenty, where it ends with the words "the great quadrangle." The supplement treating of Munchausen's extraordinary flight on the back of an eagle over France to Gibraltar, South and North America, the Polar Regions, and back to England is derived from the seventh edition of 1793, which has a new sub-title:—"Gulliver reviv'd, or the Vice of Lying properly exposed." The preface to this enlarged edition also informs the reader that the last four editions had met with extraordinary success, and that the supplementary chapters, all, that is, with the exception of chapters ii., iii., iv., v., and vi., which are ascribed to Baron Munchausen himself, were the production of another pen, written, however, in the Baron's manner. To the same ingenious person the public was indebted for the engravings with which the book was embellished. The seventh was the last edition by which the classic text of Munchausen was seriously modified. Even before this important consummation had been arrived at, a sequel, which was within a fraction as long as the original work (it occupies pp. 163-299 of this volume), had appeared under the title, "A Sequel to the Adventures of Baron Munchausen. . . . Humbly dedicated to Mr. Bruce the Abyssinian traveller, as the Baron conceives that it may be some service to him, previous to his making another journey into Abyssinia. But if this advice does not delight Mr. Bruce, the Baron is willing to fight him on any terms he pleases." This work was issued separately. London, 1792, 8vo.

WASHINGTON, D.C., April 22, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Federal prosecutors are asking Floyd Lee Corkins II serve 45 years in prison for his planned shooting rampage at the Family Research Council last summer.
In a videotaped confession, Corkins explained his had planned to "kill as many as possible and smear the Chick-fil-A sandwiches in victims' faces, and kill the guard." He hoped the shooting would "make a statement against the people who work in that building...and with their stance against gay rights and [for] Chick-fil-A."
In the filing, prosecutors said without the action of FRC employee Leo Johnson, Corkins "would have almost certainly succeeded in committing a massacre of epic portions."
In February, Corkins reversed his not guilty plea and confessed to three charges: one count of committing an act of terrorism with the intent to kill, one count of intent to kill while armed, and one federal count of crossing state lines with guns and ammunition. Seven additional charges were dropped.
He had faced a maximum sentence of 70 years. Judge Richard W. Roberts will sentence Johnson next Monday, April 29.
Corkins said he used the website of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) to identify his list of “hate groups,” which has not been released.
Andrea Lafferty of the Traditional Values Coalition learned her organization was one of the four groups listed, but she told LifeSiteNews.com the Obama administration made no effort to defend TVC against copycat shooters.

Since 1974, CHEO has established itself as a world-class centre providing compassionate care and leading-edge treatment for children and youth from birth to their 18th birthday.
CHEO is one of Canada’s few stand-alone pediatric health centres and is the second largest health-care organization in the Champlain Local Health Integration Network, with more than 2,900 doctors, nurses and additional staff dedicated to providing the best possible care for the children and youth we serve.
Every year, we have more than 6,900 admissions and 7,800 surgeries, as well as nearly 169,000 visits to our outpatient clinics. We also have one of the busiest pediatric emergency rooms in the country, with more than 72,000 visits a year.
Through funding from both the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care and the Ministry of Children and Youth Services, CHEO runs many specialized programs, including for eating disorders, rehabilitation, autism, psychiatric mental health, sexual assault, early language development and children with complex care needs (see Programs and Health Info).
In addition to its clinical mandate, CHEO is an academic health science centre. Each year, it provides education to 2,300 future pediatricians and students in nursing and other health professions. And the 249 researchers at the CHEO Research Institute conduct leading-edge pediatric research, attracting nearly $28 million in funding yearly.
CHEO houses several provincial and regional programs, including the Ontario Newborn Screening Program, Better Outcomes Registry & Network Ontario, the Provincial Centre of Excellence for Child and Youth Mental Health, and the Champlain Maternal Newborn Program.
CHEO also extends its expertise outside its walls, providing training for doctors and nurses in community hospitals on best practices for pediatric care. In 2017, CHEO joined forces with SickKids and Holland Bloorview to establish the Kids Health Alliance, an organization dedicated to improving the level of pediatric knowledge in health centres across Ontario and working with partners to create a more coordinated, consistent, high quality system of care for children, youth and their families.

Today I visited ‘Child Heaven International School’, a weekend art school for children. Amazing place! There are about 300 studends crowded into a small space, all diligently working on images from their imaginations, or copied from books. The atmosphere of intense concentration from the smallest child to the many young student staff and volunteers was inspirational.
The art school hires the premises from a local school so they can only be there on the weekends. The children buy and bring their own paper and pastels, but they are given a ‘library’ book each week to take home and read. The small ones sit on the floor quietly working in groups for an hour and a half (impressive!), the older students at wooden benches.
The learning style is so different to how we were taught to teach. In many of the sketchbooks the students copied the same picture 3 or 4 times until it was ‘right’, even the very little ones. Their stamina in these exercises and skill was eye-opening. I wonder how UK children would cope?
The staff at the school seemed delighted that I visited (though it felt as though it should have been the other way around. I left loaded with gifts and a promise to return in two weeks and do a project with the children.
I did ask some of the younger staff what would be appropriate and showed them some of my previous work. They are taken with the box projects so will try do that in a day for them. Just hope they understand that it will be a very condensed version!
People here seem so keen to please, they smile and nod a lot, though have learnt that this does not always mean that they understand. Will make sure I take lots of art materials with me so that, if nothing else, they will be able to use them again.
After class, some of the staff took me on a tour of the area. It is such a shame there is not more time to really learn more of the language and culture. Still, easier with them to translate and bargain. I bought some more shola; a sort of soft wood or pith that would be good to combine with paper somehow.
I have selected some of the children’s work to take back with me to London. It would be wonderful to organise some sort of collaborative exhibition, prehaps sending some work back from London as well. Lasting impression of whole day is the pride everyone, both staff and students took in their small school and their work. Oh and discipline problems non-existent!
As to what this experience may bring to my own work…. I am not sure yet. The school gave me a song book the children sang from for me; some very patriotic songs that everyone knows. It may be interesting to work from these….Songs and poetry are definately a hugely important part of the culture.
I fear there are loads of typos in these pages but to edit seems to take ages and there is so much to do out and about…..hope you can get the gist!

As a member of a competitive BBQ team and lover of smoked meats, I do a lot of smoking in the summer. The big secret to great BBQ is correct temperatures and timing. ThermoWorks offers many products to make sure the temps are correct, and I recently had the opportunity to try their newest product, the $69 BlueDOT.
ThermoWorks is well-known in fine kitchens and by avid pit masters for their wide range of products to make sure temperatures are correct. I see them at all of the BBQ Cook-offs where my team, the V Bar Cookers, compete. This weekend, I smoked a brisket on my PITMAKER Safe using the BlueDOT Alarm Thermometer. As you will see, my family ate well!
The BlueDOT is a simple to use thermometer that offers Bluetooth connectivity which will send alarms as well as graph your cook using the ThermoWorks mobile app. It is splashproof and durable and includes strong magnets to easily connect to your smoker. I found the product to be very well made and will last for many cook-offs and home use. Large digits on the display make it easy to glance at the current temps from a distance, and the Bluetooth connection works up to a 95-feet line of sight.
The BlueDOT comes ready to cook right out of the box. Simply turn it on, probe the meat and set the alarms and you are on the way to some great meat. The mobile app connects quickly and easily and alarms are simple to change. I set my high alarm at 160º which is where I usually wrap my brisket to help push it through the stall. Once I hit 160º, I quickly changed the temp to 200º using the app which is where I pull the meat and let it rest.
The probe and 48” cable are from the ThermoWorks Pro Series line, and it is the nicest probe I have used. The temperatures register almost instantly, and the cable is heavy-duty. I love the probe.
As the cook progresses, the ThermoWorks app graphs the temperatures on a timeline. Each graph is save-able and the app will handle multiple ThermoWorks products. This is perfect for cook-offs since we are cooking a minimum of three different meats in three different smokers at a time.
The Bluetooth connection is strong and stable, but do remember it is line of sight. I had to go in and out of the house prepping other items, and it would disconnect when I was too far away, but it would quickly reconnect as soon as I came back outside and continue to graph. For an all-day, outdoor cook, there will likely never be any disconnection if you stay within the 95-foot range.
Once the alarm is set and the smoke is flowing, you can relax. Of course, pit temperature will need to be monitored, but the meat is in good hands and you never have to open and watch it cook. Just check your phone or the easy to read screen to follow along.
Ask 50 pitmasters the best way to smoke a brisket, and you will get 50 answers on everything except temperature. Meat and pit temps are really the secret recipe for great smoked meats. For this cook, I used a separate thermometer for the pit and kept temps between 225-250º. I brought the brisket temp to 160º then wrapped in foil and finished it to 200º. Once I pull the meat, I let it set in my BBQ box for at least 2 hours to rest. Having the advantage of temperature control and alarms for the temps I need lets me produce consistent smoked meats.
Want your smoked meats to come out perfect every time? You must find a way to harness the temperatures. ThermoWorks is the standard for cooking temperatures, and the BlueDOT will be a constant tool in my BBQ box for every cook both at home and in competition. The product is well designed, rugged and simple to use. Never guess when meat is done again! Get yourself the BlueDOT and become a pitmaster!

Most of the time, steel cabinets certainly are a very good preference. However, for anyone who is storing intense acids or pesticides, you are going to need a polyethylene cupboard.
In actual fact, you may also have to come to a decision just how big (or small) a cabinet you need. For those who have just a couple chemical substances and in smaller quantities, the smallest cupboards that hold a mere two gallons could suit the invoice. Right after all, why devote additional with a larger cupboard — or established apart the space — when this is all you may need. Nonetheless, most facilities want bigger cabinets — so you could get kinds that keep around 120 gallons!
You furthermore may have to decide which type of flammable liquid storage cupboard you’ll need. There is a standard flammable liquid storage cupboard, which comes in a variety of sizes and styles, including typical floor, tower, stackable, wall mount or underneath the counter models.

As the demand of responsive website had started creating a lot of buzzes, with every blog owner have started transforming their blogs to be compatible for all screen sizes, just because the major part of traffic comes from Smartphone and tablets.
Understanding the growing demand, developers have given us many good responsive WordPress themes, recently even WordPress also re-designed the complete admin area to be the mobile first design.
I will be writing a series of the article based on HTML and CSS for those who already have the understanding and working knowledge of CSS and HTML. Today we will be learning about some of the best Open source CSS Frameworks available in the market for free.
CSS frameworks are pre-prepared libraries that are meant to allow for easier, the more standards-compliant styling of web pages using the Cascading Style Sheets language. Many experienced frontend developers and even companies have done the groundwork and provided us a collection of valid CSS3, with a grid system and all the components which are flexible that fits on the different screen, making our work a lot more easier than ever.
CSS frameworks are the best way to build the website faster than ever before, to overcome with lots of challenges and deadlines of the project.
There is a huge list of CSS framework and grid system available and here I have compiled some of the best and free once.
Bootstrap top’s my list and I personally recommend if you consider using any CSS Framework or grid system. I used bootstrap on various projects and also recently build techDfuture thesis skin. Bootstrap is a very famous front-end CSS framework built by Mark Otto a designer from Twitter presently working for GitHub and Jacob Thornton is presently working for Obvious, started by Twitter co-founder Biz Stone and Evan Williams.
I started my framework journey with Gumby and today with the power of SASS Gumby 2 has evolved, though it is not as strong as Bootstrap 3 or Foundation 5 but if you are looking for some simple modular CSS Framework then Gumby is for you. Gumby Framework 2 is developed and maintained by Digital Surgeons.
Every CSS Framework or Grid System has it own pros & cons, totally it depends on the size of project and the features required. I would always recommend using any of the CSS pre-processors like SASS, LESS or Stylus to create your own customized framework.
In my next article, we will be learning on how to create a 12 column flexible grid system using CSS. In meantime, I would like you to share your experience of any CSS Framework or grid system that you use and it’s pros & Cons.
This is a guest post by Imran. If you would like to write for ShoutMeLoud, check our guest submission guidelines.
If I am correct Cofeecup is an HTML Editor, I use sublime Text 3 it is an awesome IDE at a very little cost. However Mostly I don’t write CSS, but I i write SASS or SCSS to generate my css, I really don’t like the auto generated css from text editors.
Really, some of the useful links in this articles that are provided due to the increase in the popularity of mobile friendly website. I have heard a lot about Bootstarp3 and Pure CSS Framework. Thanks a [email protected] for sharing this interesting links with the shoutmeloud readers.
I am a great fan of Foundation and I really love to work on it, but bootstrap 3 is just awesome and inclusion of SCSS it is my favorite, SCSS is beautiful to write valid css3, if you are looking forward to use boostrap I would suggest you to use LESS or SASS version instead of just just using bootstrap css directly.
Thanks imran for suggesting Less and sass instead of bootstrap 3.
Hello there, I have only discovered the page along with thought about regardless of whether this is actually the best framework to utilize? Any suggestions?
Hello Marjorie, my personal favorite is Foundation. I’ve started with Foundation 3 when I had to create my first responsive layout. I am addicted to Foundation however I’m going to try Bootstrap in the near future.
Bootstrap 3 is the most popular framework followed with Foundation, there are many other framework like blueprint, Yaml etc. It is mostly depends on your project requirements.
If I don’t want to use any of the components with comes with Foundation and bootstrap, then opt for PureCSS or skeleton framework is good to use. If you looking to bootstrap or foundation in your projects then I would suggest using SASS or LESS so that you can disable the components which are not required to use.
great work and thanks for sharing these important frameworks with us. I’m using BootStrap3 and I’m loved it because it’s a great front end CSS framework really helpful.
Actually its a trend now to have a mobile friendly website.. Also it helps you to earn more money..!! I knew only about Bootstrap and believe me it is just awesome..!!!
Now surely going to try the new ones (New ones for me actually)..
Great post, thanks for providing the list of css framework. It is really helpful.
Wow! A great post about the Best CSS Frameworks. You provide a good and expert reviews about the frameworks. Great!
dear Shariffrb, i have been using bootstrap right now but i am little bit worried about the size it ads to our website besides that the way this css create three different files to assemble everything is also a worried issue if you really love to boost your page speed and as much as i know about web-development people love to embed everything in a single file. Do you know any such framework where we can do all these things, waiting for your kind attention on this issue.
I knew, using the compiled files of Boostrap will make heavy for a website coz you it will be having all those thing which is not required for a website. That where I would suggest you to start using LESS or SCSS then you will be seeing thing differently. However you can build your own framework using SCSS + COMPASS for creating a responsive grid system you can use SUSY. If you required any help or assistance from my side I am always available here.
Hi Rakesh. I’m familiar with responsive design; however, I would like to make a framework for my team where it would be easy for them to update the layout of our projects. Any tips on how I can make an effective framework or what lightweight frameworks would you recommend?
Thanks for great list, all of these are very popular to create a Responsive website.
But if you only want to get Responsive grid, semantic.gs is the best solution because it is very lightweight and flexible to use.
