A serious problem with sports gambling that you need to know about especially if you are an enthusiastic gambler is the problem of “addiction”. Online sports gambling activities have become extremely simple and convenient for gamblers today. It is because it’s possible to place bets online by using a sports book of your choice. sports betting hockey. Sports books offer the player a huge variety of sports activities from which to choose. Other than this, in addition, they provde the gambler free bonuses, promotion offers and excellent deposit options.
The benefit of sports gambling today definitely makes the sport all the more alluring. Not only does one save time but in addition energy and cash. The days are gone when one has to go long distances or even fly to casinos and racetracks. Gambling online is considered the rage not only in the USA but around the world.
“Sports gambling” in the US is considered illegal in most states excluding Montana, Nevada and a few others. One has to make sure that ones gambling activities are not illegal before one indulges in them. There are plenty of gambling laws in the nation and it’s prudent to be aware of them in order that you remain on the right side of the law.
Apart from sports gambling being illegal, one other problem with sports gambling is addiction. Addiction is a serious compulsive need. It could possibly have serious repercussions on both the gambler and his family. There are different ways to find out if you have crossed over the line towards being a gambling addict. Gambling should be an activity that is fun excitement and thrilling. But once it ceases to be so and gets to be a sport that’s a most important priority that overshadows everything else in your own life, it truly is dangerous.
Some of the tips below will alert you as to whether you happen to be addicted or on the way to becoming addicted to sports gambling.
If you find yourself having behavioral both physical and mental disorders because of your gambling habits, losing sleep or appetite, if you are hesitant to spend your “gambling money” on other necessary things for your family, when you cant wait to go out and win back your gambling losses, if your gambling activities take priority over everything in your daily life, should you be starting to be less responsible for the well being of your family, if you find yourself losing your temper and patience as soon as your gambling activities are disrupted, if you lose interest in anything else that concerns you and your family, etc.
You have a challenge with sports gambling when you find yourself agreeing to around seven from the above situations. This means that you are addicted or maybe in the process of being addicted to sports gambling. This addition puts your way of life at stake and that means you must take control of your betting habits. It is essential to generate a gambling “budget”.
Take cash from this account for your gambling activities and when you win make sure you put back the money equal to the quantity you bet plus half of your “win” money. The rest of the money should go into your savings account. It will ensure that you will have money for your family and also your gambling activities do not take precedence over them.

Lush Life: Essays 2001-2010 by Krip Yuson, published by University of Santo Tomas Publishing House, is a collection of 75 essays representing the author’s writings for the past decade. The collection will be launched at the Champagne Room, Manila Hotel on October 20, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. A previous collection of essays appeared in 2001, The Word on Paradise: Essays 1991-2000—On Writers and Writing (Anvil Publishing), which also had 75 essays that represented the 1990s.
The new book’s essays are grouped under six thematic sections: Lush Life Manila; Memorabilia; Gravitas; Academia; Farewells; and Now, Now, Noynoy.
Krip Yuson is undoubtedly one of the country’s most distinguished fictionists and poets, antedating by decades trends and techniques mistakenly labeled “new” today. His novels and short stories— shifting blithely from realism to marvelous realism to postmodern fantasy, from lyricism to broad farce to sophisticated comedy—have some echoes of Nick Joaquin and anticipate Miguel Syjuco. This collection of 75 essays is proof, were further proof needed, that he has few equals in the field of nonfiction. It also demonstrates how a life fully lived—its dizzying heights scaled, its dark depths plumbed—combined with a large soul, an ironic vision, an unfailingly playful sense of humor, and the gift of bending the language to his every whim, are what lead to great writing.
Seventy-five essays. That’s what it totals for this selection that represents a decade’s produce. Well, slightly more than that. The intent was to present essays written during the Noughts, but it really comes up to 11 years, from 2000 to 2010. And then it was suggested to include at least one other—on recreational places—that dates all the way back to 1994. And which I’d forgotten about. But it had something to do with generations. So I’m easy. A previous collection of essays appeared in 2001, The Word on Paradise: Essays 1991-2000—On Writers and Writing (Anvil Publishing), which also had 75 essays that represented the 1990s. Here then is a sequel of a personal anthology, maybe a bit of the same stuff, but also expanded to comprise the full range of my sybaritic interests—communal wassailing, varieties of sprits and spiritual experience, friendship, poetry, literature in general, demure dalliances, transgender and trans-generational camaraderie, the departure of loved ones, the country I love. I’ve sectioned the 75 essays into six parts, each with a thematic binder: Lush Life Manila, which is all about fluids transfer, that is, inebriation and wenching; Memorabilia, which has the most number of pieces, since senior moments may soon turn into a great big blob of a void; Gravitas, for rendering my brand of nationalism; Academia, consisting of academic papers as well as other mock-serious observations on language, art and poetry; Farewells, which is sort of a weepy Obit section; and for a culminating theme, something I’ve chosen to call Now, Now, Noynoy, composed of a dozen inestimably lyrical essays on our new President. Again I hope that my love for country turns into one of nation with these perorations, other than peregrinations. All of these essays were originally published in various outlets: theme anthologies, The Philippine Star where I have run a regular weekly column over the past dozen years; Philippines Graphic magazine where I used to have a fortnightly column; Illustrado magazine, a glossy lifestyle monthly published in Dubai; the annual Philippines Yearbook edited by Vernon Go; the sporadic Manila Envelope special magazine edited by Jessica Zafra; METRO Him, Rogue, Lifestyle Asia and UNO magazines; and of late the online GMANews.TV with good buddy Howie Severino as editor in chief. My thanks go to dear friend Jing Hidalgo, who patiently nagged me to undertake this selection from among all the prolixity that I breathe, often in shamelessly chatty fashion.

Will Chris Froome's decision to stay with Team Sky until the end of 2018 see him become one of the best Tour de France riders ever?
Chris Froome’s decision to stay with Team Sky until at least the end of the 2018 season is in no way surprising and could herald a three-season streak where the Brit writes his name in the Grand Tour history books.
Undoubtedly Froome will be well compensated for his hard work over the next few years, and as Daniel Friebe pointed out on Twitter, he’s worth a lot more to Sky than he would be to any other team.
But take finances out of the equation (which is always tough when moneybags Team Sky are involved), there’s really no reason for Froome to leave the team.
At Sky, Froome has a dedicated team, designed to support him every time he steps on his bike in a race. A team at which he can virtually pick and choose his race schedule, where the main sponsors have little geographical affiliation to one particular Grand Tour – he won’t be forced to ride the Giro d’Italia any time soon to appease a major sponsor, for example.
It’s clear that the way Sky works suits the way Froome likes to ride – his two Tour de France wins and four other top-five finishes at the Grand Tours attest to that. Three more seasons racing the Team Sky way should see Froome collect a fair bit more silverware for his trophy cabinet and move him higher in the echelons of cycling’s greats.
With two Tour wins, Froome sits a little way behind five-time champions Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault and Miguel Indurain, but in the next three years who would bet against Froome winning all the yellow jerseys?
A crash ended his first Tour defence in 2014 as Vincenzo Nibali took the title in a relatively poor field, while in his two victories in 2013 and 2015 he rarely looked like giving up his lead.
With the retirement of Alberto Contador at the end of this season, Froome will virtually sit as the lone Grand Tour all-rounder – a rider who can climb well and time trial their way to victory.
The 2016 Tour is Froome’s to lose, with the two individual time trials standing him head and shoulders above his likely challengers. Nairo Quintana has improved against the clock, but isn’t a patch on Froome in time trials.
Judging by recent Tour routes, Quintana’s best chance of beating Froome to the maillot jaune was in 2015, but Froome still managed to out-duel the Colombian – although it came down to the very last mountain stage.
Contador’s last chance for Tour glory will come in 2016, but despite him winning the Vuelta and Giro in the past two years he hasn’t looked like a Tour de France contender since his 2012 doping ban.
Once a formidable time trialist, Contador’s abilities against the clock are by no means completely faded, but he likely won’t be able to challenge Froome in 2016.
As the legendary Merckx said recently, Froome doesn’t have any real rivals for the Tour crown. Vincenzo Nibali is seemingly out of favour at Astana, with the relatively inexperienced Fabio Aru getting the nod for the Tour next year.
Whether Tom Dumoulin develops into a perennial Grand Tour contender is yet to be seen, while the French trifecta of Thibaut Pinot, Romain Bardet and Warren Barguil will have to raise their games to challenge Froome in the coming seasons.
A Tour de France contender is perhaps the most valuable commodity in cycling – apart from a Peter Sagan – and there wouldn’t be many teams who would pass up the opportunity to sign Froome should the opportunity arise.
But could you imagine Froome riding for another team now that you’ve seen him achieve so much with Sky? Trek-Segafredo are reportedly keen to lure Nibali to lead them in the Grand Tours, but can you see Chris Froome racing in pinstripes? How about riding alongside Quintana at Movistar, or under Alexander Vinokourov at Astana?
No, Froome knows that Team Sky will help him achieve his goals, Sky know that Froome will help them achieve their goals.
A mutually beneficial partnership could see Froome become the first rider to (officially) defend the Tour title since Indurain, and would you back any of his current challengers to beat him in the two following years?

The consumer packaged goods manufacturer is using Alien's ALR-9800 interrogator in its RFID tagging system after picking it from a test group of other Gen 2-compliant machines.
Jan 26, 2006—Kimberly-Clark (K-C) says it is using the ALR-9800 RFID interrogator (reader) made by Morgan Hill, Calif.-based RFID hardware provider Alien Technology in its RFID-tagging operation. The consumer packaged goods manufacturer and early RFID adopter chose the reader from a pool of other Gen-2-compliant, multiprotocol models it tested last year in its 5,000-square-foot Auto-ID Sensing Technologies Performance Test Center in Neenah, Wisc.
"We tested the readers in multiple scenarios [with tags moving at] multiple speeds, and with many different [EPC passive] tags," says Gary Clement, technology development manager for Kimberly-Clark's Auto-ID Sensing Technologies group, which performs tests and makes RFID hardware recommendations for K-C's logistics division. The group is also responsible for deploying the company's RFID systems.
"The Alien ALR-9800 interrogator was the best-performing one," Clement says, adding that K-C's decision to use the ALR-9800 extends only as far as its current RFID-tagging operations, for compliance with retail mandates. "We're using the readers for our present use case, but as our scenarios change and as manufactures develop new readers, we'll continue to consider them."
Alien released the ALR-9800 interrogator in August (see Alien Debuts Gen 2 Interrogator). The device reads ultrahigh-frequency EPC Class 1 Gen 2 tags, as well as EPC Class 1 Gen 1 tags, which K-C is applying to cases and pallets today. According to Clement, the company is actively testing EPC Class 1 Gen 2 tags and hopes soon to begin applying them to the cases and pallets it ships to RFID-enabled retail distribution centers.
K-C uses the interrogators in its distribution centers and warehouses, where they are integrated into shrink-wrap machines used to ready pallets for shipment, and into conveyor systems or doorway portals. There, they read tags as they pass by, to verify the RFID inlays embedded in smart labels applied to cases and pallets of its goods can be successfully read. The firm also uses the interrogators to collect tag data and send it to back-end systems that compare the corresponding product data with the original order. This verifies that the tagged shipments are accurate.
"We're proud and pleased [about the selection of the ALR-9800]," says Keith McDonald, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Alien Technology, "not only because it is a validation of our product by an end user, but also by an EPCglobal-accredited EPC testing facility."
In September, EPCglobal announced it had accredited K-C's test lab as one of four centers world wide under the EPCglobal Performance Test Center Accreditation Program (see EPCglobal Certifies Gen 2 Hardware).

After seeing a couple of comments from readers of the Oz Chronicles today, I realized I have neglected the topic on the blog for too long. I wanted to get through Two Notch before I even thought about it. I just did my last reading for Two Notch before I send it out to my agent, so I guess I can give Book Five some blog time. It’s tentatively titled The Last Creyshaw. Oz Chroniclers will know what a Creyshaw is so I won’t bother going into it. The synopsis is done. Meaning it has a beginning, middle and an end. I just have to fill in the hundreds of pages of details. But here is the first 40 words (which could change by the time it’s ready to publish).
They surfaced. Dug their way out of the ground and killed one of us. My gut ties in knots every time I think about it. We were all there, but there was nothing we could do. Nothing. He was dead.
I know it’s not much, but Book Five is now officially underway. I’ll keep you posted.
This entry was posted in My Books and tagged Book five of the oz chronicles, the next book in R.W. Ridley's Oz Chronicles. Bookmark the permalink.
Thanks for the update! Can’t wait.
Yet another captivating first sentence. I’ll be honest, I’ve never read better openers than in your books, sir.
Urghhh now I can’t wait til it’s out! I just wanna keep reading and reading! Lol can’t wait til its out. Probably finish it the first day its out! But thanks for keeping us updated!
Honestly this sounds weird to me because it’s relating to book 2. What i’m wondering is why are you rewriting about Tyrone and his death in chapter one. BUT THAT’S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT YOUR BOOKS THEY ALWAYS HAVE MYSTERY IN THE FIRST SENTENCE AT LEAST :D!
I am confused by your comment. How does it relate to book 2? And what rewrite? Tyrone hasn’t been killed (yet). Am I missing something?
I think you’re thinking about Pepper. He died in Book 2.

Considering that the enamel of teeth is not a full time income tissue, it cannot regenerate, even if injury goes deep enough to damage the living portion of the tooth. The outer shell of an ordinary bone is known as compact bone. Like the red pulp, it really is likewise made up of several different parts primarily called nodules. These nodules are known as Malphigian corpuscles which are made up of periarteriolar lymphoid sheaths called PALS that are responsible for the high heights of T-lymphocytes.
Whenever you think about exactly how complex our anatomy is, it appears impossible to replicate. The muscles are often grouped because of the region associated with the thigh for which they may be located. There are four muscles within this region for the thigh.
Human knee is just one of the most complex hinge joint. Bone spurs are the consequence of a calcium deposit connected to the bone for the heel. Knee joint could be the greatest and a lot of complex joint of the human anatomy.

• While your partner says they love you, their actions don’t back it up.
• Your partner is controlling – reading your mail or “showing up” at places you are just to “check up” on you.
• Your partner tries to make you dependent on them.
• You have changed things about yourself to please them.
A toxic relationship has a cycle. There’s a honeymoon period, followed by a blow up, followed by a reconciliation – at which point the cycle begins anew.
The truth is that most relationships are able to be salvaged. Sometimes it takes a little space. Other times, it takes counseling. But if both partners make an attempt, it is possible to renew the bonds in a healthy way.

We will always have challenges in different stages of our life. And I just to share what are the challenges I faced from my early 20s till my late 20s. From my sharing, you will able to learn from what I experienced, what is my key consideration at that point in time and why I made that decision.
I graduated from ITE (Institute of Technical Education) and I was thinking about what I am going to do when I graduated.
1) Should I continue to further studies or should I start working?
I am not the guy that excels in studies from young. Why do I study for? To find a job? How I stand out from the rest when most of my peers study better than me? So if I really continue my studies, will it make any difference?
As a 19-year-old, I thought that the only difference will be experience! By the time they ended their studies, depending on whether they are going to polytechnic or university, 2-8 years will have passed! I decided to work to gain more experience!
2) Am I earning my worth?
After working for 1 year, I started to feel bored. I started to question myself, am I going to work for the rest of my life? How much do I need to earn in order to retire? Out of curiosity, I roughly calculated how much I am going to earn on a 4k monthly income. If I work for 40 years and stop working at the age 60.
With this shocking figure, I straight away knew that I am not earning my worth. Most importantly, I am not doing what I love. I still did not know what I love but I know I am not going to work for that job for the rest of my life!
I want to make so much money for me to retire early!
3) What I really want to do with my life?
I spend 5 years attending multiple seminars, ranging from Investment, Personal development to Business. I spend my first year attending free seminars… Whether they are good or bad, I attended every single seminar I found! Then I started to go for paid seminars that I find interesting or can benefit me in the future.
I start to ask myself after attending so many seminars… What do I really want to do with my life? So what if I can earn lots of money if I am not happy with my life? What makes me wake up every morning feeling excited? Rather than existing, I want to live my life to the fullest!
4) Do I really understand myself?
I found out that after attending many seminars, I still don’t really know what I want in life. This time I focused on self-awareness. If I don’t understand myself, how the heck will I know what I want in life?
I asked myself where do I see myself in the future? This time I focused on who I really was and understanding my strengths and weaknesses.
Now I am a speaker that inspires youths. I share my own methodology of business fundamentals as well as my own experience from a gamer to who I am today.
Of course, I am still learning every day and in life, there will always be challenges. Hopefully, my sharing will inspire you and when you face challenges in life, don’t give up and keep moving forward!

The Craft Brewers Conference is always an enormous amount of fun, but this year we are especially excited. For the first time ever, public hop breeders are directly engaging brewers to help decide which experimental hop varieties will be scaled up, and we’re involved!
Working in conjunction with the Brewers Association, we will be hosting the experimental hop variety evaluation station at booth 3209. The results of this study will help determine the future hop pallet available for the industry to use.
Working with public hop breeders, the Brewers Association and DraughtLab procured promising hop varieties that are currently being grown on a very small scale.
The hop samples will be freshly ground, blind coded and sealed in small jars for brewers to open, sniff and describe using the DraughtLab software.
In addition to generating hop aroma descriptions for each variety, participants will be asked for their overall preference. This way we capture both analytical sensory information and hedonics without one directly influencing the other.
Data will be analyzed to help the industry better understand the aroma drivers of liking and which hops the industry is interested in utilizing. It’s a win win win! Breeders will focus on brewer-preferred aroma profiles, growers will grow the hops that brewers want to buy and brewers will achieve the flavors they desire in their beers.
We will have new varieties to evaluate every day, so take a few minutes to swing by booth 3209 on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to help determine the future of hop aroma in the craft brewing industry.

Fill Betfair's Bonus Bar And Win £50,000!
Betfair is always looking for cool ways to reward their players. As though having some of the best online casino & slot games wasn't enough?!
The promotion is called – “The Bonus Bar” and it’s looking to be one of the best we’ve seen in a long time.
What is the Bonus Bar?
The Bonus Bar promotion is unique, fun and definitely rewarding.
Every month at Betfair, players can fill their bonus bars by playing select games. Every time you play one of these games, your bar fills up. Think of it more as a meter than a bar. For each bet made, you gain a little extra on the bonus bar.
Once you fill your bar, you automatically win a free bet up to an incredible £50,000, courtesy of Betfair!
Once the bar fills, it will reset and you can do it all over again and win more free bets every month.
Play Now at Betfair Arcade & Get a £10 Free Bet!
How Does the Bonus Bar Work?
It’s quite simple actually. At the beginning of every month, your bar starts over and is empty. Once you start playing the games selected, your bonus bar will start to fill up. Each time it fills, you will be awarded a random free bet that could be worth up to £50,000.
There will be 3 levels of bonus bars depending on what type of player you are classified as.
Cashbacker™ members get up to 20% back on anything they spend, every month! Read more..
The first is called the “Quick Bar”. This is designated for all new customers and recreational players.
The second tier is called the "Premium Bar". This will be for regular players and those who play a little more regularly than the average player.
If you happen to win the VIP trip, you will be contacted with 96 hours of winning by an account specialist. You can then choose from 12 different trips. The trips have not yet been disclosed and will change throughout the year. They have been described by Betfair as sporting events and even Red Carpet Affairs.
There are 12 arcade games you can play which count towards filling your bonus bar.
Each player will be given a bonus bar level by Betfair at the start of every month. If you’re a new player, you will automatically be given the Quick Bar status; there is no way around this for the first month. But, if you play fairly regularly, you will soon move up to the higher levels.
There is no limit to the amount of times you can fill your bonus bar. However, once the allotted number of tickets or prizes has been awarded, they will not be handed out until the following month when they reset.
The free bet is good for 99 days after it is claimed.
Any money won using the free bet must be played through once before cashing out.

Often Corporate users demand who is connected to LAN Networks use their laptops in different locations, so that they can work at any location and have access to their corporate network when they are outside the office. They use Laptops when they are traveling or when they are working from home.
Risk: This makes their laptops extra vulnerable as laptops are prone to theft, also susceptible to shakings as a result the risk of data (Hard Disk and other sensitive components can be damaged).Because of this vulnerability makes it extra important to have a Laptop Notebook backup strategy.
Laptop Notebook Backup can be made to a local sever in the office. However this is seldom implemented as it's not always practical to do in today's busy environment.
Laptop to the LAN Network either directly or by docking it can transfer the Data to Local backup server or while attaching any removable device.
An alternative way is to take the backup to a writeable CD-ROM or DVD which is often installed on new laptops.
There are two methods to take the backup of Laptops : Full Computer Backup and Partial Backup.
Store the Document and other Data Files using NTBackup this can have scheduler and make the backup over the Internet also.
Hint: There is no need to take the backup of application programs and the operating system it can be installed again whenever you want to move to new computer or your hard drive fails.

The presence of new or worsened bedsores were found to be an effective indicator of the quality of care for rehab patients, reveals a new study.
The study is the first to examine whether this metric is, in fact, is associated with outcome of care in inpatient rehabilitation settings. The ACA requires that medical institutions be evaluated on their quality of care.
Using data from the Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation, she examined the records for nearly 500,000 Medicare patients discharged between January 2013 and September 2014 -- after this mandated measure of quality was implemented.
The study was published in the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.
"We looked at how good a proxy measure of quality the new or worsened pressure ulcer measure was, in particular to see if it was associated with poorer outcomes for rehabilitation patients.
We found that it was indeed associated with lower quality outcomes: less gain in function during treatment, and lower likelihood of leaving rehab to go to a community setting," said Jo Freudenheim, the paper's senior author and chair of the Department of Epidemiology and Environmental Health in the UB School of Public Health and Health Professions.
"The focus of this paper is on an important question for the regulation of medical care.
How do you measure whether someone is getting good care? In this case we were focused on the inpatient rehab facilities," Freudenheim said.
"We looked at one of the ways that quality is measured as part of the ACA--whether patients get a new pressure ulcer during their stay or, if they have one already, if it gets worse during their stay."
While outcomes were poorer for those with new or worsened pressure ulcers, more than half of these patients were able to be discharged to a community setting.
"A pressure injury prior to admission or greater likelihood of developing worse pressure injury are not appropriate grounds for denial of access to inpatient rehabilitation care," the researchers write.
Compared to the control group, patients with a new or worsened bedsore tended to have a lower change score on the Functional Independence Measure (FIM), a basic indicator of patient disability, and to have, on average, longer rehabilitation stay.
In this study, about 1 percent of patients experienced new or worsened bed sores during their rehabilitation stay.
Bedsores, also known as pressure sores, develop when the skin and the underlying tissues experience prolonged pressure.
Prevention is better than cure holds true in the case of bedsores. Scientists have developed a multi-tasking sensor which spots them early.

Leaving meat on the grill for too long or using too low a temperature to cook thinner cuts can result in it becoming overcooked. For most steak lovers, there is nothing worse as it amounts to ruining all of the qualities that make steak special. Among the problems you will face with an overcooked steak will be dryness and a tough texture in what should be a tender and juicy piece of meat. The best way to utilize your steak will be to use it in an application where the degree of doneness is not quite as important as it is with a grilled steak. Consider the following solutions.
Philly cheese steak typically requires thinly sliced meat that is cooked quickly on a flat-top griddle before being topped with cheese or Cheez-wiz. The preferred meat for the traditional cheese steaks sold by Geno’s Steaks and Tony Luke’s in Philadelphia is usually ribeye or top round, but any kind of steak can stand in for them. The cheese, onions, and other toppings will make up for the dryness of the meat and may even help to disguise a leathery texture.
Stews usually start out with browned meat to which wine and perhaps broth are added for moisture. A stew will then be braised for a long time to tenderize the meat and break down any connective tissue. The braising and the moisture will work on your overcooked steak just as well as it does on meats that traditionally reserved for stews. Making a stew with your steak will soften the meat and give it flavor. Any flavor from the grill should complement the herbs and spices in your stew, enhancing the savory notes. To use steak for stew, simply cube it and cook it as you would chuck or any other stew meat.
Most stir-fried dishes include a sauce along with vegetables and/or noodles, all of which will add moisture. You will want to use thinly sliced steak for your stir-fry. Thin slices are important since stir-fried dishes are not usually cooked for for as long as stews. This will ensure that there is as much surface area exposed to the sauce as possible, which will give your steak flavor and help to break it down. Cutting thin slices also helps to shorten the muscle fibers so that the meat will not be as chewy.
Hash has long been a favored dish for using up leftover beef and your overcooked steak should work perfectly in it. Chop your steak finely and fry it with some cubed baked potatoes along with a few herbs and some diced onion for a hearty breakfast or supper dish. You will want to add the steak last since there is not a lot of additional moisture in this dish, so you don’t want to risk overcooking the steak even more.
Perhaps the simplest option is simply to slice your steak as you would for a stir-fry and to toss it in with your usual salad ingredients. Add an acidic or spicy dressing to compensate for the meat’s dryness and lack of flavor and you should be able to salvage your steak without too much trouble.

We recoved this article from our friend Bob Parker at NewBridge.
PATERSON — When Michelle Jamison and her family lost their apartment in a fire, they were given a list of Section 8 properties by the city to find a new place.
“The list that they gave us was all horrible areas — all in the 4th Ward,” Jamison said. Jamison said she questioned why the city agency, seeing that she had a teenage daughter, would only recommend what she considered high-crime areas.
Section 8 vouchers, part of a federal rental subsidy program, are intended to help low-income working families afford prevailing rents. Eligible tenants must contribute up to 30 percent of their income and the government pays the difference directly to the landlord.
Giving tenants the option to move out of high-poverty neighborhoods is a central principle of the federal program. Housing choice and poverty de-concentration efforts are also key indicators by which the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development judges the effectiveness of how Section 8 funds are administered locally.
But a Herald News analysis of the lists given out to voucher holders in Paterson, as well as the location of leased Section 8 apartments, shows them concentrated in the poorest sections of the city.
Mapping the addresses of Section 8 apartments and listings found that nearly 100 percent of them were located in Paterson. Nearly half of them were in the city’s lowest-income neighborhoods, which had a concentration of Section 8 apartments more than four times the city’s average.
Paterson’s more affluent sections had just a handful of Section 8 apartments; 18 in Lakeview, seven in Hillcrest, and five on the East Side — none in the vicinity of the park.
It is up to voucher-holders to find an apartment where the landlord accepts Section 8, and property owners are not allowed to discriminate against tenants who pay rent through the program. Tenants are given 60 days to find an affordable place, and agencies that administer the program are supposed to help them by providing lists of Section 8 apartments, counseling on housing options outside low-income areas, and information on how they can use the vouchers anywhere, including in other states.
“One of the founding principals of the Section 8 program was that it would provide opportunities outside high-poverty neighborhoods,” said Philip Tegeler, executive director of the Poverty & Race Research Action Council, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit that focuses on civil rights issues.
Irma Gorham, director of the Paterson Housing Authority, also oversees the city’s now-defunct Section 8 program, once run by the Department of Community Development. Gorham acknowledged that most of the Section 8 listings in the city were in the 1st, 4th and 5th wards. She said there were many reasons why they were concentrated in those areas — none of which had to do with intentionally making people remain in low-income neighborhoods.
Gorham said that much of the available apartment stock in Paterson’s tight rental market — as well as most of the newly built housing — was concentrated in the lowest-income wards.
She added that lack of information on housing in other areas was not always the reason people choose to remain in high-poverty enclaves.

If there’s one thing we love about working with Natural Selection, it’s sharing Africa’s wildlife and wilderness. They also understand, however, that there’s no such thing as a ‘one size fits all’ safari. Different people have different tastes and interests, schedules and budgets, and that’s exactly where their Custom Safaris fit in. A Natural Selection Custom Namibia Safari puts you in control of where you want to go and what you want to see – We work closely with thyem to help you plan the safari of your dreams.
You choose your route, camps and lodges, and we’ll put the pieces of the puzzle together to make the journey work. The best part of planning a Custom Namibia Safari is selecting the camps and lodges to stay in. All of their camps and lodges are characterful and just the right amount of quirky, but they also have a myriad of different wildlife and things to do and see!
Namibia is one of the planet's most scenic, and undoubtedly its most eclectic, countries. From the apricot dunes of the Namib; to the sweeping, ancient and lonely vistas of the Skeleton Coast; to the bronzed valleys of its interior, Namibia is a photographer's dream. And, with but 1.5 million people sharing 315,000 square miles, Namibia is a good place to be alone. Etosha National Park is both rich and diverse in wildlife-from its famous lion to the healthiest remaining black rhino population in Africa.
Below are a selection of customized safari itineraries. None are set in stone, and can be tweaked to meet your exact requirements! We do all of the research and planning. We cover every detail. All you need to do is pack your bag and enjoy the special wonders of Africa!
We’re very excited about the launch of our new itinerary, ‘A Skeleton Coast and Hoanib Adventure.’ Before the grand reveal, we’ve got a few tweaks to make and a couple of prices to finalise but if you’re interested in travelling in 2018, please contact us for more details. See you in Namibia!
Namibia is awe-inspiringly impressive from all angles, but from a small plane, high up in the skies, it’s even more extraordinary. And that’s exactly why we’ve come up with this ultimate Namibian fly-in safari. For seven days, you’ll swap four wheels (almost) for two wings, and travel across Namibia on a series of short flights, so all that’s left to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenery sweeping below you.
Your Namibian Flying Adventure begins in Windhoek. From here, you’ll fly over the vast desert-scapes of northern Namibia to the private Etosha Heights Reserve on the edge of Etosha National Park for some serious wildlife watching. You’ll then fly west towards the Atlantic Coastline over the remote Kaokoland area, touching down for a few days to explore on ground-level – and it’s just as spectacular, we promise – before soaring back down south to Swakopmund.
If you like your Namibia safaris with an added dose of adventure and a few extra thrills and spills, then we may have found the perfect itinerary for you. This 12-day guided safari combines the iconic highlights of northern Namibia, with three nights under the watchful eyes of the towering dunes and crystal-clear skies at Sossusvlei, before ending at the coastal town of Swakopmund.
Indredible value for money! Your choice of dates!
Just about every visitor to South Africa wants to see and experience what Cape Town has to offer, as it is said to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world! This safari does it all! - Starting in Cape Town, with a tour to the winelands, followed by a safari in the Greater Kruger Park area.

A two-day meeting of the Iter Council at the Iter headquarters at Saint-Paul-lez-Durance in France unanimously approved the project's baseline - its overall schedule and cost. The project is to build the world's biggest tokamak fusion reactor at Cadarache in southern France. It should be large enough and hot enough to reach 'ignition' and maintain a stable heat-generating plasma for minutes.
"The overall project schedule was approved by all Iter members, and the overall project cost was approved ad referendum, meaning that it will now fall to each member to seek approval of project costs through respective governmental budget processes," the Iter Organization said in a statement yesterday.
The Council concluded that project construction and manufacturing have sustained a rapid pace for the past 18 months, "providing tangible evidence of full adherence to commitments". The successful completion of all 19 project milestones for 2016, on time and on budget, is "a positive indicator of the collective capacity of the Iter Organization and the Domestic Agencies to continue to deliver on the updated schedule", it said.
The Iter Council added, "The staged approach as selected in the updated schedule after first plasma increases confidence and minimizes risk by focusing on completing Iter in stages and carrying out fusion power experiments in between each stage. This approach is the best way forward in alignment with the priorities and constraints of all Iter members."
The Iter Council is responsible, in accordance with the Iter Agreement, for the promotion and overall direction of the Iter Organization. The two regular meetings every year - in June and November - can be supplemented by an extraordinary meeting for the examination of specific issues.
Thirty-five nations are collaborating to build Iter. The magnetic fusion device is designed to prove the feasibility of the fusion of hydrogen nuclei as a large-scale and carbon-free source of energy. The EU is funding half of the cost while the remainder comes in equal parts from six other partners: China, Japan, India, Russia, South Korea and the USA. Construction began in 2010.
First plasma was originally scheduled for 2018 with the start of deuterium-tritium operation set for 2026. However, in July 2010 the Iter Council agreed a new schedule under which first plasma is slated for November 2019, with deuterium-tritium operation starting in March 2027.

saline in juice is safe? doesn’t that cristallize on the coils? or is there a saline flavor? Cucumber is a good idea! Why cactus?
I have to check out the FA summer clouds!
Safe is a relative term around here, but people have been inhaling saline for quite some time in other uses. It’s a pretty common additive to e-liquid. I don’t personally use it and I have heard it is hard on coils, but no more so than something like sweetener I think.
The cactus just makes things super juicy and my thoughts on the ocean are that the air is always kind of heavy with humidity. Ergo, juicy.
FA has a ton of off the wall flavors, some oil based so be sure to read, but none that I’d consider vaping. Pass on the Tuna and boiled chicken thanks.
These drops disappeared completely in less than 1h with no residue!
I would not vape eucalyptus it is a bit of a lung irritant if you put a bit in hot water it will clear you nose and make you cough up all the crap in your lungs - i think in a vape it would be much worse as it would be a lot more concentrated. You are of course welcome to have a shot at it but I would not.
@woftam - I’ve used Eucalyptus a few times. Really nice and smooth if used right.
Ahhh… yeah, I wouldn’t vape any ‘essential oils’ . Nope.
Are you making beard oils or eliquids?
Hey there, Walt. Welcome home. I know id love to see some pics of the new building!
Still a mess but getting there.
So very nice! Now all you need to do is to change the door sign to “Closet”. That way no one will bother you.
I was like Office?!.. You mean apartment right haha.
This building is in the middle of no where, so I should be able to sleep. Now in about 14 hours… I am looking at a 42,000 sq ft building close by. Trying to speed up things by growing fast lol.
Join us over here in Kenosha, Amazon, SnapOn, Uline and Foxconn are/will be close by.
They are building warehouse and office space everywhere on I94. We have some damn good pizza here too! Congrats on the expansion, exciting times!
For now I am trying to expand local but you never know where I may show up haha.
Damn @Walt_RealFlavors they are gunna need them that is a massive space.

It’s Weekend Writing Warriors time. Full guidelines can be found by clicking the link to the website. I can’t believe how long it’s been since my last participation! With all the traveling I did over Thanksgiving and Christmas, not to mention my comp exam and finishing my research paper, well I had to put this on hold.
Anyways, I’d like to offer a snippet from Room For Three, a NA romance WIP. In this scene, my heroine, Joey, is sitting on the balcony of her condo. She is feeling down because her little sister is moving into her dorm at the same college Joey is attending. Joey doesn’t like the idea of being at the same school as her sister. This is in her POV.
A light breeze rustles a lonely palm tree by the tennis courts. I stare at it hard, hoping its tropical beauty will help take my mind off the fact that my little sister will be at the same college as me next week. Of all the colleges in Florida, she had to pick Miami. It’s supposed to my school, I should be the only Hurricane in the family.
I swing a leg over the arm of my chair as gloom cocoons me like an unlucky fly that’s just been covered in a spider’s silk. A ‘plop’ sound breaks the air, snapping me out of a trance-like state. Looking down, I realize that my flip-flop has fallen off my foot.
I hear the glass door behind me slide open. Turning around, I see Mike holding two coffee mugs by their handles, steam snaking out of the cups. I hope he’s brought coffee because I could really do with a jolt of caffeine.
FYI, Mike is her boyfriend. More from this next week. You will find out more about why Joey doesn’t like her sister joining her at her school. I appreciate your feedback, keeping in mind this is in the first draft stage.
Sorry again for being absent from W.W.W. for so long, but I’m glad I’ve finally found time to join you all again. Enjoy the Super Bowl today, too!
Lots of great questions raised here. What does Joey have against her sister? Why does Mike’s face fall?
You find out more about the Joey-sister problem as the story unfolds. It’s what brings about the conflict in the story.
His face falls at seeing her? Not good!
Only because he sees that she’s depressed.
Then it is a good thing, for sure!
Nice to see you here again! Not sure why her boyfriend is disappointed that she puts her flip flop back on. Kinda lost me there a bit but I enjoyed the flow of the snippet. Seems like a good story coming at us!
He’s disappointed because he can see that she’s depressed. Thanks for commenting! I hope to participate more. The last two months have been chaotic.
Hey Frank, glad you’re back! You’ve got some wonderful details here. Your characters are easy to like and I can honestly say I’ve enjoyed every single excerpt.
As a moderator, though, I need to mention that today’s excerpt does have 11 sentences and our limit is 10.
Sorry about being over the limit. I thought I had counted it right. I’ll fix it. Thanks for commenting!
Great insight! College is a time to get away from family, make a life for yourself. I would assume that is why she wouldn’t want her sister there, but there could be other reasons as well.
There are more reasons – a lot more! They have a rough past, and her sister will cause havoc for her as the story progresses!
I love this line, Frank: “…as gloom cocoons me like an unlucky fly that’s just been covered in a spider’s silk.” Lots of information in this snippet, and your writing is incredibly smooth! Nicely done!
This has to be more that mere sibling rivalry–I’m curious to see what it is!
There is more than just sibling rivalry. Her sister isn’t a very nice person.
Good to see you, Frank!
This excerpt is good–the writing is very smooth! I LOVE this line: “…as gloom cocoons me like an unlucky fly that’s just been covered in a spider’s silk.” Nice!
Nice to meet you. I must not have been around back when you posted regularly but I am glad I got the chance to sneak a peek at your writing now. Beautiful scene. Love the description and can’t wait to find out why she is so against her sister going to the same school.
Nice to meet you, too! The last time I posted a snippet was back in early November. Normally, I post regularly but the last two months has forced me to put it on hold. Glad you like the story so far.
It has for me. Right now I’m reaching the end of a journey where I must choose another one to follow. I hope to read your snippet in the next edition of W.W.W.
I participated this week too. Best of luck!
Hey Frank, I’ve missed you way too much. Be well.
I’ve missed you too! I hope life will permit me to participate more, but things are a bit rough at the moment.
Welcome back! Also, I really liked this week’s snippet! Looking forward to more!

Nadeem Nusrat, chairman of Voice of Karachi, a US-based advocacy group, has welcomed Washington’s recent actions to pressurise Islamabad in order to stop supporting terrorist groups in their soil.
“Unfortunately, since its inception in 1947, Pakistan has been run by military elite that hails mainly from only one province of Pakistan, Punjab. This Punjabi-dominated military elite has used a national institution like Pakistan Army as a means to promote and safeguard interests of Pakistan’s Punjabi-speaking people only,” he added.
He alleged that the Pakistani military forces had “forcibly annexed” Balochistan in 1948, and “brutally crushed” the separatist movements in the province.
“Pakistan’s Balochistan province had not formally agreed to join Pakistan at the time of India’s partition in 1947. It was forcibly annexed by the Pakistani military in 1948. Since then this province, which is Pakistan’s largest province in terms of area and is full of minerals, gas and other natural resources, has witnessed many nationalist uprisings and separatist movements. All these movements were brutally crushed by Pakistan’s Punjabi-dominated military, leaving tens of thousands of Balochs dead and injured,” Nusrat asserted.
The Voice of Karachi chairman claimed that the Pakistani forces killed Baloch leader Nawab Akbar Bugti for demanding more rights for the province. His death led to another nationalist uprising and subsequent military crackdown, claiming thousands of lives.
Nusrat alleged that the Pakistani military forces were also involved in the brutal operation in Pakistan’s northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province which shares a border with Afghanistan and where the murderous gangs of the Taliban and the notorious Haqqani Network freely operate.
“Pakistani military establishment’s reckless policies and its patronage to extremist religious proxies have resulted in widespread destruction in the KPK province leaving hundreds of thousands of Pashtuns dead, injured and displaced,” he added.
Nusrat asserted that indigenous populations in the Gilgit-Baltistan region were also being subjected to state persecution. He claimed that the Pakistani military establishment’s decision to build the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is badly hurting the region’s indigenous populations who have been denied any say in this project.
“Pakistan’s founding leader Muhammad Ali Jinnah was a Shiite, but Shia community in Pakistan is now a prime target for religious extremists. People of Hazara, whose majority is Shiite, is also a constant target of a brutal campaign of killing and intimidation. Christians, Sikhs, Ismailis, and Hindus, too, are suffering at the hands of those religious extremists who clearly enjoy Pakistani military establishment’s overt or covert support,” he added.
Nusrat further stated that there are countless reports which firmly establish how Pakistani military agencies are supporting the Taliban, Haqqani network and other extremist religious groups within and outside the country’s borders, particularly in the region bordering Afghanistan.
“All this shows Pakistani military elite’s absolute disregard for national and internal values, ethics, treaties, and covenants. This undemocratic practice must be stopped and the people of Pakistan, including its persecuted ethnic and religious minorities, be granted all those rights they fully deserve. Until this happens, all military and civilian aid and grants to Pakistan be suspended,” he asserted.
Nusrat went on to say that the persecuted groups have pinned their hopes on the US administration and expected Pompeo to forcefully raise the issue of their persecution in his bilateral meetings with Pakistani officials, particularly with the military hierarchy.
“On behalf of all persecuted ethnic and religious groups as well as all democracy-loving people in Pakistan extends full support to the current administration’s South Asia policy,” he further stated.
The Voice of Karachi and South Asia Minorities Alliance Foundation will be holding ‘Day on the Hill’ event at US Capitol Hill on September 5. The event is aimed at highlighting the issue of religious freedom and minority rights in Pakistan and to show solidarity with the people of Afghanistan and US troops.

This is an international, phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in subjects with castrate-resistant prostate cancer. Subjects were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive 120 mg denosumab or placebo SC Q4W. The randomization schedule was stratified based on PSA criteria (PSA level "d 8.0 ng/mL AND PSA doubling time "T 10.0 months [yes/no]) and previous or current chemotherapy for prostate cancer (yes/no). Subjects enrolled in the study received investigational product Q4W in a blinded manner until the results of the efficacy and safety analyses were completed (ie, until the end of the extended blinded treatment phase).
The primary objective of this study was to compare the treatment effect of denosumab with placebo on prolonging bone metastasis-free survival in men with hormone-refractory (ie, castrate-resistant) prostate cancer who have no bone metastasis at baseline. The secondary objectives were to compare the treatment effect of denosumab with placebo on the time to first bone metastasis (excluding deaths) and overall survival, and to assess the safety and tolerability of denosumab compared with placebo. The exploratory objectives were to evaluate the treatment effect of denosumab compared with placebo on prostate cancer progression at any site, prostate cancer progression-free survival, change in PSA level, fractures, healthcare utilization and change in patient-reported outcomes (PRO), change in bone turnover markers, and to assess serum trough levels of denosumab.

Hard work in the pecan orchards led to great rewards at the holiday supper table.
The author's brother found an easy, albeit dangerous, method for getting the pecans down from the trees.
Cracking pecans while at work in the orchard became easy work.
For many of the cool autumn weekends of my childhood, my family made the trip to southern Georgia to help my grandmothers harvest pecans on their rural farms. Grandmother Maggie Lanier lived beside an orchard of seedlings just outside of the scenic town Metter, a Mayberry-like place northwest of Savannah. My maternal grandmother, Ona Jarriel, lived on the other side of the interstate, down a dirt road nestled between the tiny towns of Collins and Cobbtown. She had about 20 Schley pecan trees that produced hundreds of pounds of pecans each fall.
My siblings, cousins, and I were not the most willing of participants for the back-breaking chore of picking up thousands of the smooth brown nuts, but someone had to do it. Both of my elderly grandmothers relied on the extra income generated by selling pecans on the South Georgia nut market to pay their bills. We soldiered through the work, though we moaned and groaned a lot about the task.
We moved from tree to tree, plucking the nuts from the ground and collecting them in the hems of our shirts before depositing our hoards into buckets placed nearby. After we had filled several buckets, we transferred the contents to large burlap sacks and loaded them into the back of our uncle’s pickup truck. To break the monotony of the work, we would occasionally hurl nuts at one another, and yes, pecans can and will leave welts on backs and rear ends if flung at high speeds.
I remember cocking my head toward the leafy canopy and seeing clusters of open husks, revealing pecans that refused to let go. Our family seldom used mechanical tree shakers to empty the trees. Instead, my brother scrambled up the trunks like a little monkey and bounced along the mighty limbs. I can still hear my mother’s warning call. “Be careful up there!” she would holler, followed by the jolting rustle of leaves and the gentle thuds of pecans falling onto the plowed dirt like heavy hailstones.
Fresh, raw pecans are a delicacy like no other, best enjoyed while standing directly under the tree they’ve fallen from. Early on I learned the art of cracking pecans in my hands by placing two nuts side by side in my palm and squeezing my fist with great force, like I was gripping a grenade. The goal was to crack two complete halves from their shells and pop them in my mouth without any of the bitter shell attached.
During the winter months, my mother always kept a big bowl of pecans — pronounced in my family as PEE-kans, rather than pi-kahns — and a spring-loaded nutcracker on the hearth, inviting us to sit down for a few minutes, crack out a few, and savor one of the classic tastes of the South while warming our bones next to a glowing fire.
The pecan crop ripened and rained from the trees just before the holidays kicked off, so all of the gatherings between Thanksgiving and Christmas showcased desserts and candies featuring heaps of fresh pecan halves and chopped pecan pieces. Grandmother Jarriel’s signature holiday desserts were her dense, nut-laden fruitcakes and her sweet, succulent pecan pies. Her pies were magnificent concoctions of pecans, corn syrup, butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Grandmother Lanier whipped up batches of fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth pecan divinity. Neither of my grandmothers skimped on the pecans in their recipes — they didn’t have to.
Like shelling peas occupied the afternoons of summertime, cracking out nuts in a large lap pan was a necessary activity in the weeks following the fall pecan harvest. We cracked out enough to fill several freezer bags so we could enjoy pecans year-round in fudges, brownies, cookies, pound cakes, congealed salads, and sweet-potato soufflés.
I always thought they were nuts, but several years ago, I learned that they are technically drupes — fruits containing a stone or pit surrounded by soft flesh or husk, like peaches. Nut, fruit, whatever they are, they are delicious and nutritious. Each nut is packed with protein and fiber, and contains some iron, calcium, phosphorous, potassium, and B vitamins.
Every time I eat a slice of pecan pie, I close my eyes and wander back to the autumn days of my childhood so many years ago. It was hard work, but today I’m proud to have such a connection to one of the superstars of Southern cuisine and cooking.
Turn your yard into a fresh-produce paradise with fruit trees and nut trees.
2. In large mixing bowl, combine eggs, vanilla and pecans. Set aside.
3. Combine corn syrup, butter and sugar in small sauce pan, and gradually bring to boil over low-medium heat. Remove from heat.
4. Add hot syrup mixture to eggs, vanilla and pecans, and stir until well combined. Pour into pie crust.
5. Bake for 45 minutes. Pecans will be dark amber color when done. Allow pie to cool for 2 hours before serving.

This coming week’s Torah portion, Parashat Eikev, contains the well-known second paragraph of the Shema prayer found in Deuteronomy 11:13-21, which begins with the words, “V’hayah im sha’moah,” And it shall come to pass, if you harken diligently to My commandments.
In the first paragraph of the Shema prayer, the Torah speaks of the reciprocal love relationship between G-d and the people of Israel. It is with this declaration that the Jews, from time immemorial, have accepted the dominion of G-d. The second paragraph of the Shema prayer elaborates on the theme of the first paragraph. “V’haya im sha’moah” speaks of the responsibility and accountability of the People of Israel toward G-d. In effect, the Torah asks: Ultimately, what does love mean? Are not words often mere platitudes? After all, if we do not accept upon ourselves responsibility for our actions toward the ones we profess to love, then the love that we have expressed is in fact fatuous and meaningless. And just as we need to be accountable in our human relationships, so too must we be accountable in our relationship with the Divine.
The words of the second paragraph of the Shema are straight-forward. No beating around the bush. Clearly and forthrightly, the Torah proclaims the doctrine of reward and punishment (Deuteronomy 11:13-21): If you serve G-d with all your heart and with all your soul, G-d will give the rain of your land in its season, you will be blessed with abundance of wheat, wine, and oil, you will eat and be satisfied.
But, if you turn aside and worship other gods, the anger of the L-rd will be kindled against you. He will seal the heavens, there will be no rain, the land will not yield its fruit, and you will perish quickly from the good land which the L-rd gives you. G-d, in effect, pleads: Take My words into your hearts and souls…teach them to your children, so that your days may be lengthened.
We city dwellers often find it difficult to relate to the agricultural threats in the Bible which seem so anachronistic. But these threats are surely real. The heat waves and the droughts are not yesterday’s nightmares, they are clear and present dangers. The blackouts that regularly strike the United States of America take place on the most sophisticated electrical grid, in the most technologically advanced country in human history. Those failures, which take no small toll in human life, should give us all reason to pause and reassess our almost blind reliance on contemporary technology and science.
Our Torah is conveying to us an even more compelling message, a message that the sophisticated 21st century citizen has much difficulty comprehending. While our enlightened technological generation has little difficulty accepting the basic rules of physical science, we often dismiss the possibility of spiritual rules and the notion of spiritual accountability.
And yet, the notion of spiritual accountability should not be alien to us. In the physical and scientific world we are well aware of the rules of strict accountability. The scientists posit, without fear of contradiction, that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. No ifs, ands, or buts! The law of gravity, Bernouli’s Principle, and the Quantum theory all go unchallenged by both experts and lay people. We all acknowledge that if we pollute our environment, we pay a price. If we deplete the ozone layer through the use of fluorocarbons, we surely increase the likelihood of our exposure to the harmful rays of the sun, and increase the incidence of skin cancer. Clearly there is physical accountability.
But what about the spiritual world? If we harm our environment through spiritual pollution, do we pay a price? Jewish tradition says that we indeed do. How? Firstly, Jewish tradition clearly and firmly maintains that the reward for a mitzvah is a mitzvah, and that the recompense for sin is sin (Ethics of Our Fathers 4:2). Very often the wages of sin is the guilt we bear, which unsettles us. Sometimes no further punishment is necessary beyond the mental turmoil and anguish that the sinner experiences. But often the punishment for sin has physical manifestations as well. While we dare not say that sexually transmitted diseases are necessarily a punishment for improper sexual behavior, we certainly need to ask ourselves why sexually transmitted diseases exist at all. And, how did it come to pass that a dreaded new sexually transmitted disease, AIDS, suddenly appeared just when profligate sexual behavior had risen dramatically?
Because sinful behavior is often irresponsible behavior, there is little doubt that we often pay a physical price for these actions. While the idea of paying a physical price for incorrect spiritual actions, may seem far-fetched, the idea should not be dismissed. And if we do disregard it, we do so at our own peril. Dare we say that the ozone layer is not affected by our spiritual pollution? Dare we state categorically that our sinful behavior does not manifest itself in physical disease, in spiritual or mental illness, in harmful behaviors that are mimicked by our children, our students, our disciples, or our co-workers?
Ideas and beliefs change rapidly in our frenetic-paced world. After all, only two centuries ago it would have been ludicrous to suggest that we would be capable of communicating to foreign countries over air waves, or to instantly transmit photos from foreign planets. Ideas which seemed preposterous only yesterday have become reality today, and are virtually taken for granted tomorrow.
There surely is spiritual accountability. G-d and His Torah categorically affirm this notion. There is no question that we can surely rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem–but the first step to rebuilding that structure must be the spiritual repair of our hearts.

The US Environmental Protection Agency has moved to control greenhouse gas emissions from the aviation industry.
Carbon emissions endanger public health because they cause global warming, the agency said on Wednesday.
It won’t yet impose new guidelines on airlines to crimp CO2, like it has done with vehicles and power plants, but seeks the legal backing to do so under the Clean Air Act.
The EPA will take the lead of the UN aviation agency, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), which it expects to agree a new standard to cut emissions in February 2016.
It’s the latest development in President Barack Obama’s plan to curb global warming, as the US aims to cut emissions at least 26% by 2025 on 2005 levels. Though the execution of the proposals will likely fall to the next president as lobbying and the lengthy rule-making process slow implementation.
Aircraft remains the single largest polluter that isn’t regulated in the US, the EPA said.
It accounted for 11% of all US transport emissions and 3% of national emissions in 2013.
In 2012 aviation accounted for 2% of global emissions, and its stake could rise as other industries decarbonise and more flights take off in developing countries.
The industry has successfully resisted attempts to curb emissions for years, and over 15 years of ICAO talks have borne little fruit.
At its last assembly in 2013 it agreed to constrain emissions growth of 2% a year until 2020, and thereafter growth would be “carbon neutral”.
The industry has a goal to halve emissions from 2005 levels by mid-century, but it isn’t binding.
The ICAO tasked itself with setting up a mechanism for airlines to offset emissions, but that deadline could be missed, RTCC reported in May.
“We feel this is the right thing for the EPA to be doing, as a precursor to be able to adopt what comes out of ICAO,” said Paul Steele, senior vice president at the International Air Transport Association, in comments reported by Reuters.
The EPA said after forty years of tackling harmful air pollution from aircraft engines, the Clean Air Act gave it “broad authority”.
The aviation industry says high fuel costs and competition from other carriers have forced it to more efficient fuel consumption, lowering emissions.
But a boom in air travel has offset gains. Around 3.1 billion people take flights a year, three times the number that flew 30 years ago. What’s more, that could triple again by 2050.
“Such regulations would increase the price of airfare for Americans and harm our domestic carriers,” said Lamar Smith of Texas, a republican and chairman of the House Science, Space and Technology Committee, the New York Times reported.
“Over the last 50 years, the fuel efficiency of jetliners has increased by 70 percent. Incentives are already in place to make air travel more energy efficient,” he said. Smith said the proposal were evidence of further regulatory overreach by the White House.
At present, only flights within the European Economic Area airspace are subject to any kind of carbon charge, being included in the EU’s emissions trading system.
The EPA will hold a public hearing in August to debate the plans.

For the new automation, a lot of care is required in planning, designing, fabricating and installation of the equipment and machines. And for the existing facility, systematic upgrades, and machine replacements are also needed. Both new and existing facilities share this in common; they all need regular checkups and steady improvements. Finding a reliable and a professional innovative manufacturing company can be a tedious task for many manufacturers. Nevertheless, by considering the following guidelines, you will definitely understand how to select the right innovative manufacturing service provider for your facility.
For most of the common people, the price of the service is an important thing when they are looking for an innovative manufacturing partner. Services fee, however, should not be gauged as an influential factor when selecting an innovating manufacturing company mostly to this case. When you will be searching for an innovative company, many might come with the low-cost estimation. That might seem like an advantage, but choosing them it is not necessarily a decent idea. In constructing or improving your facility a great skilled workforce with an excellent experience from a reputable company is required to guarantee your system’s decent functionality. And that has its value; it cannot be underestimated. Thus, the most important thing to focus on is the real innovation you want rather than the price it might consume. However, this does not mean to take an unbearable loan. Instead, after finding a suitable innovative manufacturing company, discuss the price, bargain and sign an agreement that is manageable to you.
